Filipino Indie films are nonchalantly popping out of the silver screens with or without our notice, but some of it are rather ignored and not praised unless the rights has been bought and distributed by Star Cinema and/or Viva Films.
There are a few Pinoy indie films that I've watched and still discovering for some more, especially with dramatic themed films, which really are hard to find due to the demand of sexually themed movies, which to be fair some have really good stories and most of it are, how can I say, lack of financial support and technical movie making skills? Most of it is shown in local cinemas that are honestly filthy and it's one of the sources of quick pleasure and AIDS as well.
Anyhow, I've watched a trailer in ABS-CBN about Vilma Santos going back on the silver screen, only going indie, and it somehow got my attention because, Vilma Santos IS Vilma Santos, watching her movies could never go wrong.
But seeing her as an indie artist is quite bizarre and exciting at the same time, that is why, when it came out I did definitely watched it, and it did not fail me.
Ekstra is a movie of a mother and a dreamer as well, working in the film industry as an extra or bit player (Ekstra in Filipino Language) trying very hard for her to get a role that the camera will see. She needs to endure the exhausting and unstable job of being part of a film or T.V. series: from waking up early in the morning, trying her best just to get even a background role, doing her own make up and as well as mastering some lines when she did land one of the extra roles with definite lines to say in front of the camera, until it all gets bad in the end.
This film is not about happy endings, and that's first and foremost a sadistic reason why I loved this film. It deals with a reality that when shit happens, shit really happens, and makes you question your own luck as well.
It dwelt the emotions of fun, tiring, unsure and regret as being part of the process in creating a movie or TV show as per this movie.
I definitely loved the humor on this film based on chances out from reality, like in the scene where a main character in the film is absent due to some attitude issues and Santos' character was chosen to portray as that main character but of course the production needed to take her face away so what they did was to put a sack on her head to cover her up, and the editing will take care of the rest of it.
That part was really hilarious.
And although I never worked in the film industry, I feel that the movie really portrays on what is actually happening behind the scenes in Philippine film industry. The scourging heat that the extras experience, the prima-donna stars acting like royalties, the uncertain job which surely they won't be part on the next episode, the low pay, the willingness of these people to do whatever it takes just to have a script to say and hopeful to become one of the stars.
The ending, as I've said, is not happy. It's really bitter-sweet. I loved the way it really pulled my heart-strings. The ending is so simple yet so sad because it deals with an ill-fated circumstance that you will regret especially when seeing it yourself over and over again, and what's more heartbreaking about the ending was that Santos' character already announced to her family that she's landed a 'big' role only to find out that it's not the case.
Vilma Santos again never failed me with this. I remember the final shot where the camera focuses on her face as she regrets while watching the episode she's in that's on their TV, and she was just so effective portraying that sad emotion that transported beyond the silver screen and to me.
Ekstra is a film about misfortunes in life whether it's by lack of talent or worse, by chance and dwelling on emotions of loss, despair and hopelessness for a dream that's been built brick by brick on marshland, and dreaming a big break while chasing the lime light that's pointed in a different direction.

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes winger Paul Bissonnette hopes to return to team in 2014-15
Every team needs a fourth-line grinder, a pest if you will, to do the dirty work that gets under the skin of the opposition.
For the last five seasons, veteran left winger Paul Bissonnette has been that guy for the Phoenix Coyotes.
Never a man to shy away from a fight or a big hit along the boards, Bissonnette is a free agent this summer.
While the ultimate decision lies with general manager Don Maloney, the 29-year-old hopes to return to the team for the 2014-15 campaign.
In an Instagram post this week, Bissonnette, appearing alongside goaltender Mike Smith, made it quite clear to his followers that his intention is to stay in the Valley.
Always great seeing Smitty. Hope I'm back in the desert next season.
Though effective when he was on the ice last season, Bissonnette was reduced to a part-time player, appearing in only 39 games. In all, he recorded two goals and six assists.

Jim Souhan analyzes the local sports scene and advises you to never take his betting advice. He likes old guitars and old music, never eats press box hot dogs, and can be heard on 1500ESPN at 2:05 p.m. weekdays, and Sundays from 10 a.m.-noon.
Find him on Twitter
-Upcoming: I'll be flying to LA for the weekend to cover the Gophers at USC and the Twins at Angels. My twitter name is @Souhanstrib.
The Twins are the best last-place team in baseball. There, I said it.
That, and other observations about the Twins' recent surge, are the subject of my Monday column. The numbers are against them, but it seems foolish to completely write off a team with a great history of comebacks that plays in a mediocre division.
The Twins have won nine of 11, and their starters have an ERA of 1.96 since June 2. The struggling White Sox come to town, then a lousy San Diego team, and the Twins should start getting key players back from the disabled list almost daily by mid-week.
Michael Cuddyer has five doubles, five homers and 18 RBI in his last 26 games. Alexi Casilla is hitting .337 since May 15. I don't know whether their recent success is sustainable, but I like watching Ben Revere and Casilla at the top of the order. Revere has to stay not just in the big leagues, but in the lineup, even after Denard Span, Jason Kubel, Joe Mauer and Jim Thome return.
You can't simply bench Delmon Young. He's swung much better in the last week, and he's too talented to write off this season. But Revere can spell the other outfielders and be a pinch-hitter and pinch-runner. There's no reason to force Span or Kubel to play every day as they come off injuries while Revere's around.
I also believe that Rene Rivera has passed Drew Butera as the backup catcher. Rivera isn't a great hitter, either, but he is a very good defensive catcher and signal-caller, and at least he takes a good hack at the ball.
-My buddy Mike McCollow invited me to his buddy's basement this weekend to see Damon Dotson sing and play guitar. I highly recommend him. Great voice. He plays locally, and you can check him out at DamonDotson.com.
-Had Yahoo's great NBA writer Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday Sports Talk. He downplayed expectations on Ricky Rubio, and when I asked if I had been too hard on David Kahn, Woj said, ``No.''
Ok, then.
Also spoke with Twins president Dave St. Peter, who hinted that the Twins could be looking at some changes in their scouting operation. Personally, I think they need to take a hard look at their minor-league system. Too often I see (or hear of) guys getting called to the big leagues who haven't addressed their flaws (like Trevor Plouffe's throwing) or have not been taught some basics.
-I enjoyed covering the Lynx's home opener, and then they build a three-game winning streak and beat the defending champs and...take nine days off?
Bad timing. I do think this is going to be a good, entertaining, team, though.
-One thing I've heard from the Twins' clubhouse is that neither the staff nor his veteran teammates want Joe Mauer to return, catch a couple of games, and then start taking days off. They all want to see this guy be a workhorse the rest of the season. Be a workhorse, or find another way to stay in the lineup.
-Upcoming: I'll be on 1500espn at 2:40 on Monday, and all week. We'll run Sunday Sports Talk (also on 1500espn) from Target Field again next week.
Picked up on this debate on Twitter last night: Should we blame Delmon Young's error or the Twins' bats for their 1-0 loss at Cleveland?
Both are culpable, of course. But while all teams and hitters will have a bad night, and sometimes will simply be overmatched by a good or hot pitcher, all Major League leftfielders should be capable (and interested in) bending over to pick up a bouncing baseball.
I saw someone defend Young because he smashed a double. That is missing the point.
A year after generating hope that he could become an MVP-type player, Young has been an embarrassment this season. He's played horribly in the field and has produced a stat line that would make Matt Tolbert giggle.
I'm not a big fan of the stat OPS for precise measurement of offensive capability, but it does provide a good snapshot into a player's performance.
Consider these OPS totals:
Alexi Casilla: .653
Rene Rivera: .620.
Matt Tolbert: .578.
Delmon Young: .534.
The Twins are getting no offensive production out of a player whose fielding has suggested that he can be valuable only if he is an exceptional offensive player. If you're determined to prove via your fielding that you are nothing but a designated hitter, you might want to get a few hits.
The biggest, strongest Twin now has six extra-base hits in 151 at-bats.
At this point, my chosen outfield for the 2012 Twins would be Ben Revere in left, Denard Span in center and Jason Kubel in right, with the hope that Joe Benson makes a push to be a contributor or the first player called up in case of injury.
Now the Twins have to hope Young can at least play well enough to bring value in a trade.
And while he's here, Young should at least be moved to leftfield. He has a strong arm and limited range. That would make him a perfect fit for right field at Target Field.
-A new report alleges that Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor made $40,000 autographing memorabilia. I hope he saved some of the money.
Pryor is skipping his senior year at OSU to enter the draft. His problem is, he's not a very good quarterback, and he won't be a good pro quarterback, and he's not gifted enough to make a living at another position.
I don't blame college athletes for wanting to make a little money while they're generating tens of millions of dollars for their schools. I just hope for Pryor's sake he has positioned himself to make a living outside of football.
-It's interesting that the Golden State Warriors hired Mark Jackson shortly after hiring Jerry West as a consultant. When Jackson was a Wolves' candidate, I kept hearing from my NBA people that Jackson had a terrible reputation as a selfish player and clubhouse lawyer, and that the Wolves were lucky they didn't hire him.
Now Jackson will take over a skilled team that plays almost no defense. Is he really the right man to fix that problem? I tend to doubt it.
-It's fascinating that lame-duck Wolves coach Kurt Rambis is now trying to publicly position himself to return, considering the disdain with which he treated everyone in or near the Wolves organization last year.
If he comes back, I hope he does so with some class. I've had more than a few people in the Wolves' organization tell me that he is the worst, most arrogant guy with whom they've ever worked. I don't think he coached well enough to deserve to return, but there has to be a good basketball brain hidden somewhere behind all that unearned smugness. Who knows? Maybe coming close to getting fired would be enough to jolt him into the right mindset for coaching a young team.
I'd still rather see Dwane Casey or Sam Mitchell running this team.
-I covered the Lynx home opener on Sunday, and I thought it was a good time. The atmosphere felt different than most sporting events, and I kept trying to figure out exactly what was different.
Then it hit me: I didn't sense any anger from the stands. Usually when you attend a pro sporting, or a major-college revenue sporting event, there is an undercurrent of angst and anger. Particularly at basketball games, you hear fans cursing the refs and opponents.
The people at the Lynx game just seemed happy to be there, happy to support their team. The Lynx players seemed unified and gregarious.
I think this is going to be a really good team, and while most people in my business mock the Lynx and the WNBA, I would love to see them make a run at a championship and give us all reason to pay more attention.
-LeBron James remains a mystery. He's the best player in the game in part because of his unselfishness and passing ability, but it is so strange to see the best player in the game content to let other people dominate the ball at the end of close games.
James was incredibly passive last night, and that's one big reason why the Mavs won Game 4. I'm still picking the Heat in seven games, but if the Heat had played with a little more intelligent and and intensity at the end of Games 2 and 4, it might already be over.
-Upcoming: I'll be on 1500espn at 2:40 today, as long as the Twins' game ends in time. My twitter handle is @Souhanstrib. Tom Pelissero and I are starting to make plans for Sunday Morning Sports Talk, 10-noon on 1500espn. We'll run the show from the St. Thomas Mobile Press Box outside Target Field.

That, my friends, was a heroic act.
What about us?
As Christians, I think sometimes it's scary to share our faith. We're afraid of looking foolish, of not knowing what to say, of being rejected or labeled as "weird." But why is it so hard for us to defeat our fear in order to save a loved one? Why can't we reach out like Little Miss did for Gigi and snatch our friends from the grip of certain spiritual destruction?
In that scenario, the vacuum cleaner is no longer The Beast, but the threat of hell is. And there's (obviously) a lot more at stake there than just fur trapped in a roller. If a terrified child is willing to risk her fears to save her friend, why can't we?
I think it comes down to perspective. If we weigh the circumstances against our fear, we realized how petty and small our concerns really are. How important is the fear of feeling awkward against the very real threat of a loved one missing Heaven? How could the anxiety over stuttering our words or being misunderstood ever be stronger than the idea of a friend never knowing Christ? It's all in how you view it. And under that light, I believe the answer is clear, and so is the command.
Matthew 28:18-20 "Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
The best way to conquer fear is to realize you're not alone. I could have never made it through that Ripley's walk without one hand clinging to my dad's shirt sleeve. Little Miss could probably have never gotten the courage to rescue Gigi if I hadn't been standing a few feet away.
So take a deep breath, hold tight to the dusty sleeve of our Lord's tunic, and be brave. Share your faith. Take that first step. If you stumble, He's there. If you run out of words, He's there. If you get nervous, His peace will suffice. John 15:13says, "Greater love hath no man than this, but to lay down his life for a friend."
This Halloween season, are we going to cower and let the fear of the world consume our faith? Or are we going to fight against the darkness of the holiday and give God the glory He deserves every day of the year by witnessing to others?
The choice is yours. But next time you use your vacuum cleaner, remember the bravery of a dear little soul and remember that God can use even the smallest of us to accomplish his plans on this earth.

Regarding "Should felons be able to vote in Ky.?" (Feb. 20), if a convicted felon can go 10 years without committing another crime or abusing drugs after being released from prison, then he can vote. Let's see how many can even make it five years. Jeff Streckfuss, Harrison

Regarding the Kentucky article "Should felons be able to vote?" (Feb. 20), are our prison systems called "Departments of Corrections" for naught?

No sympathy for Fox

Michael A. Fox is one example why the American public is sickened by the attittude of politicians who commit crimes in office ("Pol headed to prison hopes to lose weight" June 22). He is caught, convicted, and sentenced – and shows no remorse for his actions. He probably gained a lot of weight in an […]

She wants Lucas to find the man who humiliated her--a violent career criminal with a small gang of brutal thugs at his beck and call. Lucas is a man who knows how to get what he wants, whether it's a thief on the run--or a married woman.

Started out good but the plot rapidly ran out of steam. By the time I reached the final scenes I no longer cared. Too bad, as it started with such promise.
A very good book. Not to be missed.
Pelecanos continues his excavation of American masculinities with this superior yet half-hearted sequel to THE CUT. Fans of his Derek Strange/Terry Quinn novels possibly won't want to miss page 46.

Wisconsin Girl Did Not Die Because of HPV VaccineWednesday, October 22nd, 2014
On July 30 of this year, twelve year old Meredith Prohaska visited her doctor. She was suffering from a sore throat, but aside from that she seemed to be in good health and had no history of major health problems. While at the doctor, she received the HPV vaccine. After returning home she took a nap. A few hours later, her mother found her dead.
It's an understatement to say that this story is tragic. One cannot even imagine the shock and grief suffered by her parents and family and the pain of her absence, which they will endure for the rest of their lives. By all accounts Meredith was a vibrant girl with a promising future.
Her death was covered extensively in the news media, always reported as having died shortly after getting the HPV vaccine. Her mother and father both suspected that the vaccine was to blame. It's not surprising that they would, seeing as no other explanation seemed to be available for her death.
Reporting in the mainstream media has had the usual sensational undertones. But other sites have done far worse. The story was taken up by nearly every anti-vaccine group around, with claims that the HPV vaccine certainly killed this young woman. This has been held up as proof of vaccine injury and that the HPV vaccine is dangerous or deadly.

I've been taken guggul extract for like 6 weeks, and today I went for my lipid blood test, in the last one, three month ago, my cholesterol was too hight 248 the total and 167 the LDL, so my doc. gave me a prescription for statin drug, I wanted to try something natural first, and I bought the guggul, now my cholesterol went down to 202 the total, and 139 the LDL, the triglicerids also went down, my doc couldn't believe went I told him that i didn't take the statin drugs, so he told me whatever you are taken is working wonderfull, so keep taken it. I'm so happy with the result, no side efects, great price, and it works. I've been taken with this the garlic oil for NOW, it's seem work better.

Posted by Reviewer1389618 on Mar 08, 2007
Purchased at iHerb
November of 2006 my overall cholesterol was 226 LDL was about 160 and HDL was 42. Began taking Guggul shortly after. 4x/day is a little difficult for me to adapt to, so most of the time I took it morning and evening. Rechecked cholesterol in March 2007 and numbers were 182 overall, 121 LDL, 36 HDL. Other than the decrease in HDL I was pleasantly surprised. I am a runner (20 mi/week) and watch my diet (oatmeal everyday and lots of fruits and veggies), but the only difference between the two checkups was the Guggul.
Great Product for arthritis

My wife suffers from arthritis and finds that guggul effectively assists in reducing the pain thereby reducing the need for other drugs for pain control. Traditionally used by Ayervedic medicine practitioners for arthritis and weight loss as it also stimulates the thyroid.

Purchased at iHerb
I am taking guggul extract as it was recommended to me by a doctor for my adult acne. The first few days I took 3-4 as recommended on the bottle. My ears and neck broke out in a hot rash, which was a possible side effect listed on the bottle. I stopped for a few days, rash went away, and now am taking 2 a day, with no negative effects. Too early to tell if it will help with my acne.

USA, 2005 (MIFF 2005, Zero to Hero: Survival of the Fittest)
Director: Jeff BowdenJeff Bowden's mud-streaked documentary follows a championship season of world-class Street Stocks. This is the bottom class of American dirt-track auto racing, played out in all its beer-bellied glory at the legendary Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas. The film is a study of the larger-than-life redneck racers as they collide on the track, while some lives skid into a ditch off-track. Gayla Jones, a rookie and the only female driver at the Devil's Bowl, struggles with viciously sexist Southerners while dealing with the bizarre love triangle that exists between Jones, her husband and their mechanic - this is like a Jerry Springer remake of a Peter Greenaway film. Travis Pace, a former champ, had to sit out the previous season after accidentally blowing up his house while welding. Another driver takes on board the second-largest machine-gun dealer in Texas as a sponsor. Beyond the strange soap opera of racing is a highly perceptive investigation into a rich subculture. [Dirt] has a high-octane soundtrack by psychobilly outlaws Southern Culture on the Skids. Jeff Bowden will be attending the festival.
D/P Jeff Bowden WS Julie Espinosa TD video/col/2005/81mins Jeff Bowden was born in Waco, USA, in 1959. [Dirt] (MIFF 05) is his first feature documentary.

The injury to Kyrie Irving has created all sorts of fluctuations in the fantasy value of a number of Cleveland Cavaliers. One of the major beneficiaries has been fellow Australian (to Kyrie and myself), Matthew Dellavedova.
In today's edition of "All Wired Up", I'll delve into the fantasy strengths of potential waiver wire gold like Dellavedova and the Denver Nuggets' Darrell Arthur. Before I do, just a quick reminder to grab Gorgui Dieng is he is still available on your waiver-wire. He must be owned in all leagues.
» Matthew Dellavedova, SG, Cleveland Cavaliers (4.2 percent owned on ESPN.com)
21 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 5 three-pointers, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 2 turnovers vs Pistons.
Who would've though that there would be so much fantasy value to come out of the injury to Kyrie Irving? What has transpired since, has been nothing short of a godsend for fantasy owners looking for gold on the wire.
Dion Waiters and Jarrett Jack are both must-own players at the moment and have most likely been snapped up in your league. But Matthew Dellavedova is quietly putting his hand up as a player to be reckoned with for fantasy owners.
Dellavedova was a leading light for St. Mary's in college, which incidentally, is the college for Aussies to go to when moving over to the States. Dellavedova followed in the footsteps there of another Australian, Patty Mills, now of the San Antonio Spurs.
Dellavedova didn't hear his name called on draft night, but caught on with the Cavs as an undrafted rookie and is making it known that then-GM Chris Grant at least made one good move. He is certainly entrenched in the third guard role for the Cavaliers and is getting enough minutes to be counted on in fantasy leagues.
In the last five games, Dellavedova has put up a number of career-highs. He recorded his first double double on March 20th in the game against the Thunder and followed it up two nights later with another double double against Houston, tying his career high in assists. Then, last night, he scored a career high 21 points and hit a career high five three-pointers in the victory against the hapless Pistons. Against the Rockets, Delly played a career-high 37 minutes as well.
Everything's coming up Milhouse for the boy from Maryborough, Australia.
What does this mean for your fantasy squad, battling it out in the playoffs?
In those last five games, Dellavedova is averaging 11.0 points, 2.2 three-pointers, 4.0 rebounds and 6.4 assists, shooting 54.3 percent from the field. Those numbers rank him 98th on Basketball Monster.com over that time frame.
So, if you are desperately searching for dimes, triples and nice rebound numbers for a guard Dellavedova is worth a look for as long as Irving remains out. In the playoffs, you need to make the tough calls and go with the hot players — and Dellavedova is turning up the thermostat.

Cod wallop: So long, New England fishermen?
Last week, the New England Fishery Management Council cut the cod quota in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent and off Georges Bank by 61 percent. Some fishermen will be able to fish cod for only a day, or less, this year. The South Coast Today newspaper quoted John Bullard of the National Marine Fisheries Service as saying, simply, "The fish aren't there."
But fishermen say the cod have moved north, and these catch limits will devastate the industry for no good reason. There is scientific evidence to support their claim.
Cod do migrate to colder waters when their native waters warm.
In 2005, Institute of Marine Research scientist Kenneth Drinkwater wrote in the ICES Journal of Marine Science that a temperature increase of 4 degrees celsius would lead to collapse of the cod fishery off Georges Bank and sharp decline in the Gulf of Maine as the cod migrated north. "It is quite clear that, with future warming, there will be a northward migration of cod," he wrote.
In the past year, the temperature in the Gulf of Maine reached record highs. "At some point, (the gulf) is going to be inhospitable to cod. We're getting close to that now," said Jeffrey Runge, biological oceanographer at the University of Maine. In the past four years, the surface temperature in the gulf has risen between 2 and 3.5 degrees fahrenheit a year, more than enough to cause the near-collapse due to migration that Drinkwater predicted in 2005.
The government acts as though the only issue is overfishing. So it does what it always has done: it cuts the quotas. This approach is so inflexible and burdensome that even politicians like Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen, reflexive supporters of empowering government to control industries through the regulatory process, have expressed opposition to it.
Maybe last week's action, which could decimate the New England fishing industry, will finally open the eyes of those who assume that bureaucrats always know, and do, what is best.

UK Non-profit Aims to Reduce Embedded Linux Fragmentation on ARM Devices
Set of open source software tools to interact directly with the kernel.
Embedded Linux is more popular now than ever, but because of its ease-of-use, flexibility, and, importantly, free licensing cost, developers have taken the mobile OS in a variety of directions. Google's Android, Intel and Nokia's MeeGo, and Palm's webOS are just three Linux-based distros found on mobile device today, with Ubuntu Lite both entering the tablet scene later this year.
UK non-profit Linaro sets out to address fragmentation by developing a common software foundation and a set of universalization tools for other distributions to use. An OS is installed on top of Linaro and any applications will be written for the target distribution.
The result, Linaro expects, is shortened development time, easier cross-platform application development and improved battery life for mobile phones. Canonical is an engineering partner with Linaro. Canonical's LaunchPad for publishing code and documentation of the project.
The first set of open source tools is planned for a November release, with future releases following every six months.

Good Qualiy, Great Price
Tween son mom from Westchester, NY– Verified Buyer
Kept looking at similar nightstand from a popular teen retailer for 11 year old son, but couldn't commit b/c of the price. Was updating his room to be more age appropriate for a middle school kid who plays the drums and loves rock and roll and everything high tech. This was perfect with a stainless steel and white desk and iron bookcase and supercool magazine stand. Love the stainless and white look because it's modern and doesn't make the room too batcave-ish with all the rock posters (although have the option of changing it out to the blue). Added a few accents in electric blue as well as a very hip spy mirror. He LOVES it. And I love the quality. Can put stuff in the drawer, and many of his paperbacks do fit on the shelf. Not flimsy, drawer works quite well.
Mom of 3 from Cape Coral, FL– Verified Buyer
We bought this for our 8 year old son and the bed that matches and it is all absolutely adorable!! Very well made too. But be prepared to spend a LOT of time assembling. But worth the effort because this is a bargain for what you get.

Just what I expected
Atticus's Mom from Woodinville, WA
I purchased this for a little boy's room so it could take it through his teen years, and it should. It has lots of storage, but books cannot stand up on the two bottom shelves, which I was hoping. It is solid, but took two us with some choice language to put together. We finally left one screw out. Drawer seems a little sticky, but could be our assembly. Very heavy, very durable. Four drawer colors are great colors and make it versatile. All in all, I am very pleased with it [...]

A+U 525: Vienna Transition Of Theory And Expression
From the publisher. Between the late 19th century and early 20th century, Vienna was the epicenter of new architectural movements. Architects like Gottfried Semper, Otto Wagner, and Adolf Loos presented pioneering theories and expressions which influenced the world. Furthermore, cityscape of Vienna had been the subject of architects' creation. They form the layers in Vienna's urban structure, and architects who design in this city must interpret this structure and upon which further form new layers.
June 2014 issue of a+u introduces the theories and their expressions of architecture in Vienna, and their transition from the pre-modern to the modern to the present, through 60+ newly-photographed works, two essays on "transformation of architectural expression through building facades" and "recent developments for urban expansion zones", and interviews with contemporary architects.
Exhibition: Europe's Best Buildings / Mies van der Rohe Award 2013
The Mies van der Rohe Award, today one of the most important and prestigious prizes for architecture within the European competition, was first set up in 1987 by the European Union, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe – Barcelona. This prize which involves a total sum of 80.000 EUR is organised and awarded every two years.
In 2013 five finalists were chosen from 335 projects nominated by European institutions and international experts – ultimately the eminent members of the jury chose the new Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavik designed by the Danish architectural firm Henning Larsen in collaboration with the Islandic practice Batteríið and the artist Olafur Elíasson, which was opened in 2011.
The travelling exhibition presents a total of 39 exceptional buildings from throughout Europe using plans and photographic material as well as numerous models. In the Architekturzentrum Wien the exhibition is augmented by the virtual presentation of 15 additional nominations with Austrian involvement. A catalogue with the projects selected by the jury – prizewinners, finalists and shortlist – will be presented in the context of the exhibition.

Happy Birthday Hans Hollein!
Austrian artist, architect, designer, theoretician and Pritzker Prize laureate Hans Hollein turns 80 today. Described by Richard Meier as an architect whose "groundbreaking ideas" have "had a major impact on the thinking of designers and architects," Hollein has worked in all aspects of design, from architecture to furniture, jewelry, glasses, lamps — even door handles. Known in particular for his museum designs, from the Abteiberg Museum in Mönchengladbach to the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt to Vienna's Haas House, Hollein's work manifests a unique, fascinating take on 1950s Modernism.

In today's strained environment for arts support, the funding wonderland of Norway can incite jealousy. Yes, Norway is an oil-rich country; it also allots a respectable percentage of its oil wealth to pioneering art, making it a model for exactly what well-spent money for the arts can engender.
Especially in jazz. Public support has helped the country's improvised-music scene expand from a handful of artists in the late '60s to a thriving network of recording, performing and educational opportunities today. It's not perfect, of course; I'll address some chinks in Norway's funding armor. But the country's improvised music flourishes largely on public support."
Michelle Mercer via How Norway Funds A Thriving Jazz Scene (via nprmusic)
I've never understood why jazz and classical music are consider fine art, ripe for public funding, while more contemporary expressions are generally not. I've thought of this as an American phenomenon in the past, but it isn't.
Now that shows I recall seeing in the early 1990's (that video was just a part of the performance, fyi) are being blandly and drudgingly imitated by some of today's video artists, I wonder if this is simply a result of limited thinking. Unfamiliarity with a genre, especially a rapidly-changing one, leads critics and art communities to dismiss creative and exciting work until it can be categorized and anointed as officially "art."
[I should add that I would frankly greatly prefer to hear Norwegian jazz than the thriving Norwegian black metal. While the immaturity of most black metal disqualify it from having an "art" label, its relentless literalism and pedantry could potentially overcome that. Perhaps, as a positive outcome, an embrace from the art world could cause its murderous nationalists to flee the popular music and culture scene.]
Still, it is interesting to see an imported genre of American music evolve as official "art" in another country. I can't help but wonder how or whether the embrace of official art culture can lead, there as here in the US, to innovation instead of embalming.

Ten Steps to a Successful IP Surveillance Installation: Step 5
Incorporating analog cameras with video servers
As outlined in Myth #9 of our previous article series, The Top 10 Myths of IP Surveillance (available in the archives of SecurityInfoWatch.com), existing analog surveillance systems can easily be upgraded to IP surveillance systems by incorporating video servers. This allows for digital delivery and control of video without the replacement of every camera with a network camera.
By connecting existing analog cameras to video servers, you can digitize, compress and transmit video over the network. This reduces installation costs by incorporating older equipment into the network video system and allowing for better scalability, storage on standard PC servers, and remote recording and monitoring.
Video Servers 101
A video server—sometimes referred to as a video encoder—eliminates the need for dedicated equipment such as monitors and DVRs by using standard IT equipment and infrastructure. Each video server can connect between one and four analog cameras to the network through an Ethernet port. Like network cameras, video servers contain built-in analog-to-digital conversion, compression, Web and FTP servers, as well as processing power for local intelligence. Incoming analog feeds are converted into digital video, transmitted over the computer network, and stored on PCs for easy viewing and accessibility.
Once the video is on the network, it is identical to video streams coming from network cameras. Analog cameras of all types—fixed, dome, indoor, outdoor, pan/tilt/zoom, and specialty cameras—can be integrated into network video systems using video servers.
A video server has a coaxial input that connects it to the analog camera. The server in turn connects to the network via an Ethernet port. All video is digitized and compressed within the video server and sent over the network via a network switch to a PC, which typically runs video management software for storing and monitoring the video.
Rack-Mounted or Stand-Alone?
Video servers save space by fitting into existing server rooms, eliminating the need for dedicated CCTV control rooms. If coax cabling has already been run to a central room, a video server rack can be used. Rack-mountable video servers come as "blades," which are essentially video servers without their casings. This allows the video servers to be placed in server racks, which are common in IT environments.
Placing blade video servers in racks allows them to be managed centrally with a common power supply. One standard 19-inch rack that is 3U high can fit up to 48 channels—meaning that up to 48 cameras can be digitized on a single rack.
The functionality of a blade server is exactly the same as a standalone video server. Blades are interchangeable and hot-swappable in the rack, and they provide network, serial communication and I/O connectors at the rear of each slot.
In an analog camera system where coaxial cabling has not been run to a central location, it is best to use stand-alone video servers positioned close to each camera. This method reduces installation costs because it uses existing network cabling to transmit video, instead of running coaxial cabling to a central location. It also eliminates the loss in image quality that occurs over longer distances when video is transferred through coaxial cabling. A video server produces digital images, so there is no quality reduction due to distance.
Advantages of Going Digital
The Alaska Department of Transportation recognized the advantages of a network video system and recently incorporated video servers into nine of the largest ferry terminals in the Alaska Marine Highway System.
