Monitoring the physiological status and behaviour of free-swimming fishes remains a challenging task, although great promise stems from techniques such as biologging and biotelemetry. Here, implanted data loggers were used to simultaneously measure heart rate (f H), visceral temperature, and a derivation of acceleration in two groups of wild adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) held at two different water speeds (slow and fast). Calibration experiments performed with individual fish in a swim tunnel respirometer generated strong relationships between acceleration, f H, tail beat frequency and energy expenditure over a wide range of swimming velocities. The regression equations were then used to estimate the overall energy expenditure of the groups of fish held at different water speeds. As expected, fish held at faster water speeds exhibited greater f H and acceleration, and correspondingly a higher estimated energy expenditure than fish held at slower water speeds. These estimates were consistent with gross somatic energy density of fish at death, as determined using proximate analyses of a dorsal tissue sample. Heart rate alone and in combination with acceleration, rather than acceleration alone, provided the most accurate proxies for energy expenditure in these studies. Even so, acceleration provided useful information on the behaviour of fish and may itself prove to be a valuable proxy for energy expenditure under different environmental conditions, using a different derivation of the acceleration data, and/or with further calibration experiments. These results strengthen the possibility that biologging or biotelemetry of f H and acceleration may be usefully applied to migrating sockeye salmon to monitor physiology and behaviour, and to estimate energy use in the natural environment.

The Lexus CT200h has finally adopted the brand's signature spindle grille along with some other tweaks for the 2014 model year, but the base price for the car will stay exactly the same at $32,960.
Yesterday, Lexus kept its 2014 CT200h under wraps at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but now that it's officially debuted at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China, the Japanese automaker has lifted the covers in LA.
The refreshed 2014 Lexus CT200h will make its world debut at the 2013 Guangzhou Motor Show in China.
10. Lexus CT
Car thefts have dropped an average 13 percent each year since 2006 according to the latest data from the government safety regulators.
The Lexus HS 250h has been discontinued after poor sales, but could the Japanese luxury automaker be working on a CT 200h sedan variant to replace it?
Hybrid Domination
Fuel efficiency is at the forefront of every new car-buyer's mind. No one wants to spend $30,000 and find themselves throwing money away at the gas pump, so we've compiled a list of the cheapest vehicles that get 40 miles per gallon (combined) in order from most expensive to least expensive.
10. (TIE) 3-Series Hybrid, Mercedes E400 Hybrid, Infiniti M35h, Buick LaCrosse/Regal eAssist: 29 mpg
Who is to say that luxury car buyers aren't affected by high gas prices? If you want to drive in comfort, style, and have the latest high tech goodies in a car, you shouldn't have to pay more at the pump for it. Here are our picks for the top 10 most fuel friendly luxury cars, ranked in order of their combined city/highway mpg numbers.
Quite a few luxury cars hit the 29 mpg mark combined. The most impressive of the bunch is the Buick LaCrosse, which manage to get solid fuel economy, despite its bigger size. The Infiniti, Mercedes and BMW vehicles make do with a high-power pairing of a six-cylinder engine and an electric motor, which gives the end result of over 300-hp.
The Buicks use a mild hybrid system called eAssist which pairs a 2.4L four-cylinder engine with a conventional automatic, and a compact lithium ion battery to get its impressive fuel economy numbers.
The Lexus CT200h continues to be the only proper small luxury hybrid offering, and for 2013 it is getting a mild update that offers some new color choices and upgraded tech.
The Lexus CT200h has been a success for the company, drawing in younger buyers as well opening up a new low-price point to enter into the luxury segment, and now the car may spawn some new models.
The "possibility to build other vehicles off that(CT200h) platform" is likely, said Mark Templin, Lexus U.S. group vice president and general manager in an interview with WardsAuto. The sales of the CT200h will likely grow 25% in 2012, a great gain, but still not as much as the company would like. "We'll probably end up in the 18,000-unit range this year, just based on the supply that we can get," mentioned Templin.
The average age of the CT200h buyer is 53, six years younger than the average age of regular Lexus buyers. New customers to the brand are also likely to get into a CT as their first Lexus.
Oddly enough, the company recently discontinued the HS 250h due to lack of sales. The style, price and options on the car made it much less accessible than the CT, and thus was discontinued.

10. 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE: 43/39 MPG
The Top 10 Most Fuel Efficient cars have been named for 2012 by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA (those guys that come up with the official ratings for cars) has compiled the list, which is dominated by Japanese automakers. Those remaining two are domestic vehicles, although with one being a commercial van, it almost should count. On the list are electric and hybrid vehicles only, with no diesels or pure gasoline engines.
In 10th spot is the first of three Toyota models and the first of four if you count the larger Toyota company and Lexus. The Toyota Camry Hybrid LE is officially rated at 43 mpg city and 39 mpg highway. With a combined rating of 41-mpg, it's the only true mid-size sedan to achieve an average of 40-mpg or better. And these numbers don't come at the expense of performance either, with 200-hp on tap. Of note, XLE models, which have more content and are heavier, are rated at 40 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.

Meguiar's will be heading to SEMA this year with this custom two-tone Lexus CT 200h. While it's not exactly the crazy project one would expect from a SEMA display car, the 2012 CT 200h serves a purpose as a proper marketing tool for Meguiar's.
The yellow and black two-tone scheme is inspired by Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax product line, giving the CT 200h clearly defined body lines. The glossy paint comes courtesy of Glasurit Paint Systems while the Rotiform BLQ wheels with Falken Tires are also done in a nice black finish, providing a nice black/yellow/black theme to the project. Handling suspension duties is a set of coilovers from CKS, while the interior got a proper suede treatment with contrasting yellow stitching.
Autoguide will be sure to stop by the Meguiar's booth to take a look at this hybrid project in person next week.

When a car meets its expected sales target it's not normally worth reporting, but considering the flop that was the HS250h (not to mention slumping brand sales in general), Lexus seems on track to meet and even exceed its goal with the new CT200h.
According to the latest figures the CT200h was the third best selling hybrid in the month of July, beating out cars like the Honda Insight, Fusion Hybrid, Escape Hybrid and even the Lexus RX450h. Total sales for the year are listed at 5,321, which puts the car well on track to reach its target of 10,000 units, according to Lexus VP Mark Templin.
It also puts Lexus ahead of rivals BMW an Audi in the compact luxury segment. In the month of July, Audi A3 sales tallied just 436 units for a year-to-date total of 3,803, while sales of the BMW 1 Series fell just short of Lexus with 5,257 units moved after selling 664 models last month.
The numbers don't tell the whole story, however, as sales of the CT only began in March, with Lexus moving 2,200 of them in that month, "way above our plan" says Lexus PR rep Ming-Jou Chen. According to Chen, sales were also hampered significantly until quite recently due to the production stoppage in Japan as the result of the earthquake and tsunami.
If Lexus is able to keep up its current pace the CT is poised to become one of the best selling hybrids in America. Starting from $29,120 the CT200h is rated at 42-mpg average.

Lexus has announced its plans for the 2012 CT 200h model, adding a new car and the F Sport Package as an option to buyers. The F Sport Package originally debuted last year at the Australian International Auto Show (seen above) and will feature F Sport-tuned suspension, 17-inch wheels in a high-gloss finish, mesh front grille, metal front scuff plates, perforated leather steering wheel, leather shift knob, aluminum sport pedals, and metallic trim on the dash panel. Options for seats include black NuLuxe trimmed seats or perforated black leather-trimmed seats.
Unfortunately Lexus didn't release any photos of the F Sport package available for the 2012 CT 200h, but most of its parts are featured in the photos released last year. Also for the 2012 model, Lexus has integrated its Vehicle Proximity Notification System to warn pedestrians of its existence. New to 2012 is the color Nebula Gray Pearl, which replaces the Smoky Granite Mica from 2012.
No pricing details were released on the 42-mpg hybrid luxury sedan, but it's nice to see the F Sport package will be readily available to enthusiasts wanting a little more fun from their hybrid.

Lexus of Australia is using the Australian International Motor Show to gauge interest in a sportier CT200h packed with aerodynamic and performance enhancements to the hybrid hathback. The CT200h Concept was inspired by the Gazoo Racing Nürburgring CT race car, and could feature elements that Lexus may introduce into the local Australian market.
The CT200h Concept includes a quad exhaust, full body kit with rear diffuser, 18-inch wheels and a modified suspension that lowers the CT200h by 0.8-inches. Under the hood is the 2.4L engine that was used in the Nürburgring CT race car, (and is also shared with the HS250h where it makes 187-hp compared to the CT's 134-hp). This is the strongest hint yet that there's a more powerful CT200h on the horizon. After all, Lexus has already trademarked the CT300h badge.

Looking to show off the sportier side of the CT200h, Lexus will be competing at this weekends VLN3 race at the Nurburgring over the weekend.
Entered in the SP4 Class, the car will be fielded by Lexus motorsports partner Gazoo Racing, which also field several LFA race cars.
While it's no clear indication, Lexus may be using this weekend's event as a serious test session in the lead-up to the Nurburgring 24 Hour race later this summer.

With a recent warning from its dealers about stale products, Lexus is poised to roll out a list of all-new model as it looks to re-assert itself in the luxury sphere. The news comes from Lexus of Australia where top exec Tony Cramb has indicated new models will be a big part of the Lexus push over the next few years. In addition, Lexus intends to offer a greater diversity of options to customers, from everything from interior trim, to engines, to body styles.
One of the first of the new models set to arrive is a more potent version of the CT200h hybrid hatchback. Rumored to be called the CT300h it could get a larger engine or lithium-ion battery pack and stand as a flagship model in that range, helping build a fanbase for the car in Europe.
In addition to this car, Lexus is reportedly planning a new compact crossover below the RX, a new affordable luxury sedan, and finally a new 7-set SUV or large crossover.
Currently Lexus has just 11 unique products in its lineup, roughly half the number of models offered by its German rivals.

Nearly 5 months in to the calendar year, Lexus has admitted that it will not be able to sustain its lead in the luxury car sales race, due to tight supplies of vehicles and parts from Japan.
With dealers down to a 30 day supply of cars (compared to a usual 60 or 90 day supply), the situation is so drastic that regional marketing campaigns are being ended due to a dearth of new vehicles to sell. Lexus is offering to extend the leases of current customer's vehicles, and is discouraging dealers from attempting to inflate prices of the limited supply of cars, with Lexus general manager Mark Templin stating "…that's not the way we do business."
Many vehicles, such as the newly introduced CT200h hybrid are nearly sold out, while the Japanese factories that build the majority of Lexus vehicles are not expected to reach full capacity until November.

Owning a hybrid doesn't have to be all boring as Fox Marketing demonstrates by teaming up with Lexus and building this wickedly clean widebody Lexus CT200h. Set to debut at this year's New York International Auto Show, we were teased with some buildup photos and now we've finally got some snaps of the finished product.
Fox Marketing has built several Lexus projects in the past, including their convertible IS and a widebody IS-F that was shown off at previous SEMA shows. This year, Fox shows off that tuning and customizing hybrids will be on the rise by decking out Lexus' CT200h with a very clean widebody and a set of 20-inch iForged Insite wheels featuring a killer concave setup.
The exterior of the CT200h was blasted with coats of BASF's R-M Carizzma Cinnamon Quarts Pearl paint job to go along with the widebody conversion. Suspension modifications were done to the sedan giving the CT200h the stance it needs to sit snug on a staggered set of Insite wheels – 20×9.5-inch in the front, 20×10.5-inch in the rear. Our only real complaint on the entire build is the rear diffuser. The block-style design just doesn't flow well with the rest of the project.
The well-executed build will also be shown off on Discovery HD Network in an episode of MotorWeek.

As a part of a strategy to grow its presence with a younger demographic, Lexus will continue to showcase wildly modified versions of its CT200h hybrid hatchback, debuting the latest tuner creation at the New York Auto Show.
Build by the team at Fox Marketing, the car promises a widebody kit and some sort of forced induction setup that's sure to deliver far more than the factory 134-hp Prius powerplant.
In February Lexus showcased a custom Five Axis tuned version of the CT200h. In a dark shade of black, we're expecting something shockingly bright from Fox Marketing.

While a niche-market vehicle in North America, designed more to help rebrand the stale luxury marque than to create revenue, the CT200h is the car Lexus is counting on in Europe.
At the vehicle's launch at the Paris auto show, execs commented that they were expecting this one model to double the brand's sales in Europe. While a seemingly astronomical feat, one must remember that most Lexus vehicles are large and expensive, meaning they either aren't great for European roads, or they're expensive enough that the target demographic isn't likely to budge from their German buying habits. The CT, however, is ideally packaged and priced to appeal to a younger European buyer.
Better yet, thanks to its low emissions, buyers will be able to skip-out on most of the taxes levied on the car's competitors.
Sales of the car haven't hit full swing, but if the orders being placed by local importers are any indication, then the CT might just be the hit Lexus was hoping for. According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Lexus Netherlands has ordered 1,000 of the vehicles. While shy of the 1,500 Lexus hopes to move in the country this year, it's a huge increase considering the total sale of all Lexus models in that country last year totaled just 700 units.

Lexus is a brand desperate to grow its appeal among younger buyers and while the new CT200h hybrid hatchback might be more of a European-targeted vehicle, apart from the IS series, it's easily the most attractive car to the Gen-X and Gen-Y crowd from the Toyota luxury brand here in North America.
To help convey that message and to draw attention to the fact that Lexus does offer something to suit the interests, lifestyle and budget of younger buyers, the Lexus commissioned tuner and design studio Five Axis to build what is being called the Five Axis Project CT. Unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show the car gets a custom widebody with an aggressive rear end complete with a massive diffuser. The 'Dark Passage' paint helps convey the car's 'Darker Side of Green' marketing slogan, while under the hood the factory powerplant remains untouched, delivering 42-mpg average.
Inside there's everything from custom seat inserts to an impressive looking touch-screen interface that looks perfectly suited to the CT and could easily be passed off as factory equipment.

In a bid to capitalize on the publicity surrounding this year's Australia Grand Prix Formula 1 event, Lexus will hold the world's first hybrid only race.
The field will be made up exclusively of CT200h models, just as Lexus introduces the car to the Aussie market. Aiming to change the perception that hybrids are only for the ultra-granolas, Lexus Australia exec Peter Evans hopes to send a message that the company's latest hybrid can also deliver fun behind the wheel.
Unfortunately, while companies like Porsche are pushing forward with real hybrid race technology in cars like the 918 RSR, this Lexus race is really just a publicity stunt and the field of drivers will be made up of celebrities. There will, however, be some sports open to regular folks, with every customer who purchases a CT200h entered into a draw to compete

One wouldn't normally think of the Lexus hybrid compacts as "tuner cars", but if there's one thing that SEMA proves, it's that you can make anything a "modified vehicle" by throwing wheels and other bolt-on modifications onto a car.
We highlighted the Lexus SEMA lineup earlier, but since we all know how much you love hybrids, we sought out some pictures of our own. The CT200h is actually previewing an F-Sport suite of aftermarket parts, including wheels, tires, a big brake kit and suspension pieces.
The HS250h was tuned by VIP Auto Salon, and comes with a baller-ific WALD aerokit, 20″ Work wheels, a custom exhaust system and Lexus Japan OEM-spec window visors. We can hardly contain our excitement at that bit of JDM trivia.

Lexus has just officially debuted the production version of the CT200h hybrid hatchback at the Paris Auto Show. And while Lexus does hope to significantly expand the premium compact segment in the United States, it expects huge growth in Europe with the CT projected to double the Toyota luxury brand's sales.
The CT is the first "sport oriented" Lexus hybrid, with a focus on dynamic handling rather than outright acceleration. In fact, using a version of the Toyota Prius's Hybrid Synergy Drive engine, it makes 134-hp and accelerates to 60 mph in 9.8 seconds. What it can also do, however, is get a combined average of 42-mpg. For the record, that's 8-mpg better than its closest competitor here in North America.
Along with a functional hatchback design, the CT features a more youthful appeal with more exciting design cues. Inside, it's pure Lexus luxury.
To put the focus on driving dynamics, the car features a four-mode control system that allows the driver to switch from modes labeled: EV, Normal, Eco and Sport. In sport mode, the car not only gets a more sensitive throttle and more powerful from the electric motor, but it also features tighter steering to help aid in the driving experience.
Look for AutoGuide's First Drive of the CT200h on October 12th.

Desktop Effects Have Come a Long Way: Russian Transformers Shot on a Canon T2i
This DIY Russian "adaptation" of Michael Bay's Transformers was shot in two hours and edited in a month. Despite it copying the worst Hollywood has to offer (the second Transformers was one of the least-entertaining action films I've ever seen, and I'm not the only one to think that — it has a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes), props to these guys. Presumably they will get paid effects work out of this demo, and in that regard it's a good calling-card type of project. Remember when you used to need a room-sized computer to do this kind of stuff? Shot on a Canon T2i (known as the 550D overseas) and Nikon D5000, animated in 3ds Max.

Great modelling! I think the harder part of this is to well design a robot that is also a car. Nice to see the kind of breakdown, I think we all know how this is done, but it is always interesting to see some wires and default renders.

#1.) I'm glad they were shirtless. The effects couldn't have come alive without that touch.
#2.) When even the Russians are hip to the whilelm scream in parody, I think that's run it's course as a "funny subversive thing sound designers do." It was a 60 year good run, fellas.

Amazing what you can do on a miniscule budget. I guess this proves that skills and talent are more important than the equipment at one's disposal.

Fountain pub, New Malden, ready for South Korean World Cup bonanza
Updated 2:33pm Thursday 12th June 2014 in News By Nazia Dewji, Chief reporter
Up to 1,000 South Koreans are expected to enjoy their nation's first World Cup fixture with a pint in a New Malden pub next week.
The Fountain pub in Malden Road will be showing all the Korean Republic football games starting from Tuesday, June 17, at 11pm when they take on Russia in their first Group H encounter.
Jake Buckley, duty manager at the pub, said: "We expect it to be very busy. We are expecting 500 to 1,000 South Koreans. We have put up all the 32 flags of the competing nations and some big England and South Korea ones."
Premier League players to watch out for within the Korean Republic's line-up include Sunderland's midfielder Ki Sung-Yeung and Arsenal's forward Park Chu-young.
During the last World Cup in South Africa the Fountain catered to scores of football fans with an outside marquee with television screens. There were also incredible scenes there when South Korea hosted the competition in 2002 and progressed to the semi-finals.
But this time round, Mr Buckley said the late Brazilian kick-offs could be a bit of a problem.
He said: "It is difficult time wise with the first games being at 11pm. It is a bit late to be doing too much. But if they get through the stages we will most probably do something big."
But when asked about the team's chances at winning the tournament, Mr Buckley said: "I wouldn't say so but you never know. They did not have a chance in 2002 but they made it through the quarters.
"You never know in football."
On England's World Cup prospects, he added: "I think they have a chance - an outside chance."
The Fountain is doing a charity raffle for Prostate Cancer where customers can guess scores and first goal scorers for both England and Korean games.
The Korean Republic will also take on Algeria on June 22 and Belgium on June 26.

Spring is the season for saisons, and few capture the season as well as Southhampton's Bierre de Mars, an Earthy, herbal concoction that suggests beds of dried grass and fields of wildflowers. This French-style farmhouse ale boasts aromatics of spiced bread, wheat, and light touches of pear and peach. The grainy body is brisk and effervescent, and the finish has a faint hint of tartness that makes it utterly refreshing. In other words, it's exactly what the term "farmhouse ale" suggests it would be. Robust enough for chilly May nights but crisp enough for the warmest of June days, you'll want to gravitate towards beers like this as summer approaches. Try it at Time, Iron Abbey and McCrossen's Tavern.

Raleigh bridal shops offer more than just dresses for the… bride: they can help with finding a tuxedo for the groom, dresses for bridesmaids, and specialty invitations and other accessories needed to make the special day extra special. Many Raleigh bridal shops also allow the bride and her party to rent outfits rather than having to purchase them, allowing her to save money which is always nice for a couple starting out. More

Randi McFarland
Ministry Intern
Hello! My name is Randi McFarland and I am a May, 2013 graduate of the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, VA. I am married to my husband Jim of forty years, and have three grown children, Mical, Jaime and Ashley. I also have five grandchildren with one on the way!
I was fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home mom while raising my children. While I realized that parenting was probably the most important job in the world, I had a longing to do something more. I went back to school at the age of forty-two to obtain a Master of Education degree with a concentration in Counseling. Beginning with my undergraduate degree in Psychology however, God had planted in me a desire to attend Seminary and although I made several attempts throughout the years, things did not fall into place until we moved to Virginia in 2005.
I commenced my seminary career with a CPE unit at UVA Hospital in the summer of 2008, and then began attending classes in Richmond in the spring semester of 2009. I also interned as a chaplain at Chippenham Medical Center in Richmond for seven months and was encouraged by my Site Team and Supervisor to continue in this line of work. Presently, I am hoping to get a Residency position in the fall of 2014 either at MCV or UVA Hospitals.

Sneakerheads: Best places to get kicks in Chicago
What is a sneakerhead to do in Chicago?
Better question: what is a sneakerhead?
The answer is actually quite simple. A sneakerhead is someone who loves sneakers and needs to have the latest and greatest in "kicks." They are sometimes known to spend their rent money on a nice new pair of Nikes.
The obsession runs deep.
But where do sneakerheads go to get their fix in the city of Chicago? And where would the aspiring sneakerhead go if they are not familiar with the area? The Windy City does not have the same reputation for sneakers that New York or Los Angeles does.
Fear not though, there are plenty local shops in the area out to prove that the Foot Lockers and Finish Lines of the world cannot satisfy your true need for great footwear.
"People want something they can't get elsewhere," David Rasool Robinson, the manager and photographer of Saint Alfred, commented. "They don't want a bunch of other people with that [the same sneakers as them]."
The Wicker Park (1531 N. Milwaukee Ave.) sneaker store has been open since 2005 and is their only location. What the store lacks in physical size, it makes up for in sneakers that are exclusive and shirts that are off the wall. A review of Saint Alfred on the website Yelp describes it as "Probably the best sneaker store in Chicago... maybe not for the average consumer but for the pure 'sneakerhead.'"
Another store that gets a lot of buzz in the city is Akin Chicago. There is one location in University Village (1313 S. Halsted St.). There used to be one located in Lincoln Park (2350 N. Clark St.) just minutes from the DePaul University campus.
"New York's got their game on, West Coast has their game on, but Chicago is keeping up with them, it's growing rapidly," John Nguyen said. "I don't know how it is out in New York or L.A. or any other city versus Chicago. But everyone here is kind of like a family you know."
Nguyen, the former owner of the Akin Chicago Lincoln Park location, is doing his best to reach out to the community near the school. The store offers a 20 percent discount to DePaul University students and he said that the DePaul basketball team frequents the store.
What both Robinson and Nguyen agree on are the advantages to going to smaller and more local stores as compared to going to the bigger chains that are nationwide. The selection of Jordans, Nike, Adidas, Puma, Reebok along with caps, shirts, outerwear and accessories is what attract people to the local stores, but what separates them is the flavor they bring that bigger stores don't.
"People, especially sneakerheads, they don't like going to corporate stores," Nguyen admitted. "They like to support the local business, the 'mom and pop' stores, [it's] more personable."
Robinson and Nguyen also let it be known that they stick to the local theme not just by what they sell, but also by using local designers in creating apparel.
"[In-house designers] makes it that much more of a representative of the city," Robinson said. "Chicago is rich with talent."
There are many more local sneaker stores in the city, and one wonders if there is ever rivalry to steal customers away from those other stores? Not according to the store employees.
"The biggest misconception is that it's a competition," Robinson conceded, saying that it would do not only the stores, but also the city a disservice. "If there is any competition, it's to make the city better."
So if there is a sneaker that you want but can't find, go to one of these stores. Can't find them there? Try out Belmont Army, City Sports, or any number of quality sneaker shops. They will be more than happy to point you in the direction of another great store for "sneakerheads."

ON THE RECORD: Jessie J has a battle on her hands. With 30 U.K. festivals lined up for the summer and an album on the verge of release in America, she and her record label have differing opinions on what single she should release next.
"I want to release a single like 'Domino', something really upbeat, catchy and poppy, but they have other ideas," she explained at Vivienne Westwood's show. "I think it should be a song called 'Strip', which is quite appropriate for fashion week, actually. But it's not about taking your clothes off; It's about asking a guy to strip away all his emotional layers, about saying, 'I want your secrets, not your lies.'"Westwood's other guests included Paloma Faith and Eliza Doolittle.

CELEBDIGS EXCLUSIVE - Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Expand Chateau Miraval Property In France
September 4, 2012 9:48 AM
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have snatched up the property neighboring their huge Chateau Miraval estate in the south of France, CelebDigs can report exclusively.
The affianced couple paid an undisclosed sum for land, which includes an impressive home and acres of forest. The lot was owned by Gerard Larrousse, the former owner of France's Formula 1 team.
Why would the couple expand their already huge Miraval property, you might ask? Well in light of their upcoming wedding, set to take place at the Chateau this fall, the celebrity duo is looking to seal the borders around their estate and this neighboring property had a legal easement through Brangelina's land. That means the owner of that lot had the right to pass through Miraval to access his own house -- in fact, it was the ONLY way for him to even get to his own place!
Before buying Miraval in 2008, for a reported $55 million, Brangelina bought up other lots surrounding the property to ensure complete privacy and security.
With Brad and Angelina now on the books as the owners of this parcel, NO ONE other than the supercouple will be allowed on Miraval land. And as a bonus, they get yet another building to add to their mini-village atop their remote hill near the village of Correns.

Before he died from lung cancer in 2000, musician David Hackney gave his younger brother Bobby the master recordings from a never-released album the brothers had made decades before under the band name Death. He told him, One day the world will come looking for this music.
Less than a decade later, the world did.
Bloggers and record collectors uncovered the only official release Death made a 1974 45 single that sold for $800 on eBay. The surviving Hackney brothers had not shared the existence of the tapes or the story of their band, which once declined a deal with Clive Davis (he wanted to change the bands name), with their children. It wasnt until Bobby Hackneys son Julian recognized his fathers voice singing Politicians in My Eyes online that the story came to light.
Charlottes Jeff Howlett and co-director Mark Christopher Covino created a documentary about the discovery of the Hackneys 1970s band the first punk rock group (pre-dating the Ramones). It will be screened Saturday at Actors Theatre of Charlotte.
Howlett knew reggae musicians Dannis and Bobby Hackney for years. Hed met the Vermont-based brothers Dannis, the drummer, and Bobby, the singer and bass player when Howletts band played a music festival Bobby organized.
After discovering Deaths recordings in their parents attic, Bobby Hackneys sons Julian, Bobby Jr., and Urian began covering their music as Rough Francis. They took the name from David Hackneys final music project. They invited Howlett to a show in 2008.
I was expecting reggae music, and I went and was completely blown away. It was like the Stooges and MC5 meets Bad Brains meets the Who, Howlett recalls.
Howlett, 43, who moved to Charlotte two years ago, toyed with the idea of making a music video for Rough Francis, but after reading about the Hackneys in The New York Times, he recruited Covino to turn Deaths story into a feature-length documentary. Covino was apprehensive until he heard the band.
Covinos reaction isnt unusual after hearing Deaths ahead-of-its-time music. Musicians Henry Rollins, Questlove, Alice Cooper and Jello Biafra all attest to the magic of Deaths music in the film.
Director Kevin Smiths sometime producing partner Scott Mosier signed on to produce, and found funding just as Howlett was ready to put the project on the back burner.
I had just told Mark, This is going to be a Hoop Dreams project. Were going to be 10 years into it. I am so broke right now. Were going to have to put it on hold because we cant go on the road any more. It was that evening we got an email that said, Hey, this is Scott Mosier. How can I help you guys? Howlett says.
Through producer Kevin Mann and Matthew Perniciaros Haven Entertainment the film found a backer in Entourage actor Jerry Ferrara.
They showed Jerry one of the rough cuts we had and he immediately wrote a check to help fund the project. We couldnt finish it any other way, says Howlett.
Hell do a Q&A following the screening of A Band Called Death Aug. 17 at Actors Theatre, part of the Charlotte Film Societys Film Lab.
A Band Called Death is not just a story about a band that never made it. Its about two generations of brothers who were bonded by music.
Its a love story to David Hackneys vision. And because of his refusal to alter his vision and change the bands name, its also a film about an unwillingness to compromise your art and the consequences.
Independent label Drag City released Deaths original masters as the album, For the Whole World To See in 2009, and the Hackneys recruited guitarist Bobbie Duncan from their reggae band, Lambsbread, to play Davids parts in a revival. Death and Rough Francis have toured together.
Even today they get emotional, Howlett says. Every time they see it, it brings everything back. Its like Davids right there with them. To me as a filmmaker, it says were telling something compelling and special to that family.
