Odor and Voc Control Handbook
VOC - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are liquids or solids that contain organic carbon (carbon bonded to carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, or sulfur, ... Show synopsis VOC - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are liquids or solids that contain organic carbon (carbon bonded to carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, or sulfur, but not carbonate carbon as in CaCO3 nor carbide carbon as in CaC2 or CO or Co2), which vaporize at significant rates. VOC are probably the second most widespread and diverse class of emissions after particulates. Although some VOCs are emitted from large sources most are emitted from small sources like automobiles, bottles, or fingernail polish remover, spray paint cans, solvent usage etc. EPA definition Means any organic compound which particpates in atmospheric photo-chemical reactions. VOC's - are one of the major contributors to smog/ozone. Examples of VOC's - hydrocarbons benzene methyl butane, acetylene, naphthalene - toulene. Where do you find VOC's - Industrial Sources: a) Petroleum Refineries; b) Gasoline transfer; c) Manufacturing Plastics; d) Solvents. International - have the same issues. VOC control is a relatively new issue. It is more critical now than ever due to recent regulations. Odor control is a specialty requiring extra ordinary techniques and know-how. Both systems use similar equipment, and most of the information in the book will cover both types of control. The handbook covers fundamental chemical characteristics of these compounds. It covers the health effects from exposure. It covers different ways to analyze these emissions. The handbook covers emission control technology. Regulations, and Air Pollution Prevention. This book is a comprehensive reference on the treatment of odors and color control technology. It will cover odors emitted by a variety of industrial sources, including wastewater treatment plants,chemical process plants, and food industry plants; and will offer practical methods for evaluation control of odors. Prominent contributors will cover the scientific background, analytical and prediction methods, control technologies and practical guidelines to obtain odor control. The book will give practical, real word solutions for solving and controlling odor emissions problems to meet required regulations. Case studies and an extensive bibiliography will be included. It will be an indispensable reference for anyone dealing with odors and odor control technology in both the public and private sectors.

splash.suntimes.com via Sharon on PinterestThis particular article posed an interesting question: should stay at home moms (SAHMs) be paid a salary for their work? I'm not interested in any working mom vs SAHM debate/drama, because I think that either way, we love our kids, try until we're bone tired to do right by them every day, and often feel that still we aren't doing enough or doing it as well as we'd like. Working Mom vs SAHM? We should be versus each other at all, we should understand each other and support each other. I loved that Jenny made it clear in her post that she was not trying to incite this debate either and that she has respect for all parents. I was intrigued by the question she posed though and I loved the idea of tracking expenses in order to ultimately make room for Moms (or stay at home Dads) to be paid a "salary"...it may not be much, but it could be enough to feel a little more valued for the work that these moms do each day in the home and maybe be able to afford a pedicure once in awhile or to load up her eReader with a pile of books that she's been dying to read. I can get behind that! I encourage you to check out Source: this fabulous post by Jenny McCarthy and leave comments there, or here, or both letting us know what you think.
Here's to another great read!and how about a giant cheer for working moms everywhere--inside and outside of the home--WE ROCK!!

The ethics of DocAdvisor: Is accountability always a good thing?
Dominic Wilkinson @NeonatalEthics
In the news this morning, the NHS has released data on individual surgeons' performance, so called "surgeon report cards". This represents the latest move towards increased transparency and accountability in the National Health Service. Elsewhere in the media today, there are numerous reports of the UK couple who were apparently charged £100 after posting a negative hotel review on an online website.
These parallel stories highlight one concern about certain types of health accountability: sensitivity to the negative impact of reviews (or poor performance figures) could lead to harmful changes in behaviour. For surgeon report cards, one frequently cited concern is that publishing report cards could lead surgeons to avoid high-risk cases. If surgeons choose patients with lower risk of dying, they will potentially end up with a better report card. However, then the results would be misleading (it would be the equivalent of someone getting a higher mark by choosing to sit an easier test). More worrying, it may mean that some high-risk patients are unable to access surgery.
Should we be worried about the negative effect of report cards on surgeons behaviour? Continue reading
Relaxed about dying?
"Now we must wait, wait. These hours…. The gurgling starts again — but how slowly a man dies! …By noon I am groping on the outer limits of reason. …every gasp lays my heart bare." Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
In Remarque's novel, the agony of the German soldier, witnessing the slow death of an enemy combatant, is heightened by his own guilt (the narrator had stabbed another soldier in self defense). However, his powerful evocation of distress (and guilt) at witnessing a slow dying is very close to the expressed concerns of parents and clinicians who are watching the death of a child.
Not-so-lethal – the ethics and costs of extraordinary fetal intervention
By Dominic Wilkinson (@Neonatal Ethics)
Late last month, a paper in the US journal Obstetrics and Gynecology reported the extraordinary case of Abigail Beutler. Abigail is now 14 months old. She was born without kidneys, a condition sometimes called 'Potter's syndrome'. Potter's syndrome is normally universally fatal in the newborn period, because without kidneys the fetus does not produce urine and has little or no fluid around them. Without any fluid around the fetus, their lungs do not develop.
Abigail is the first baby to ever survive with this condition. Doctors infused artificial fluid into the uterus around her (amnioinfusion) on five occasions during the pregnancy. This seemed to allow her lungs to grow. Although she was born 3 months prematurely, she had only minor breathing problems at birth. She has received kidney dialysis since soon after birth, was discharged home after 19 weeks and is now reportedly being considered for a kidney transplant. Continue reading
Practical Ethics Bites
This week at the centre we are excited to be launching a new series of podcasts "Practical Ethics Bites"
These podcasts have been recorded to support secondary school students (particularly A-level students) who are studying philosophy or religious studies and their teachers. They are available to download (free) from the podcast webpage, and you can subscribe to the series through iTunes U.
The interviews cover a set of core topics in applied ethics, and aim to provide an accessible introduction to key arguments, and concepts. They were recorded by philosophers Nigel Warburton and David Edmonds, the team behind the popular Philosophy Bites series.
We will be releasing more podcasts over the next two months, but the first interview is already available – 'Should euthanasia be legal?' – interview with Dr Dominic Wilkinson (@NeonatalEthics), consultant neonatologist and Director of Medical Ethics at the Oxford Uehiro Centre.
We are keen to get feedback on this podcast series from students and their teachers. Are the interviews at the right level? Are they helpful? What topics would be useful for future podcasts to cover? As an incentive, students/teachers who provide feedback will be entered into a draw for a set of the Philosophy Bites books (generously donated by David Edmonds and Nigel Warburton)! For details see here.
"Please randomize me – but don't tell my family that you did"
Last week various newspapers (see here and here) reported on a planned research study of adrenaline for patients suffering a cardiac arrest outside hospital. The PARAMEDIC 2 trial (full protocol here) involves ambulance officers randomly giving patients either the traditional resuscitation drug adrenaline, or a salt-water solution (placebo). The trial has been strongly criticized by Ruth and Lindsay Stirton, writing in the Journal of Medical Ethics.
There are two main controversial elements to the trial design. The first involves the lack of consent for involvement in the trial, the second involves the researchers' plan not to inform families of patients who died that their loved one had been in a research trial.
Carbon caps and IVF
by Dominic Wilkinson @NeonatalEthics
Over on the Journal of Medical Ethics blog are a couple of posts that might be of interest to Practical Ethics readers.
Last week, the journal published online an article by Cristina Richie on carbon caps and IVF. She argues that the environmental costs of reproduction should lead to carbon caps on IVF, and more restrictive public access to artificial reproduction.
Iain Brasssington wrote a blog in response, 'ARTs in a warming world'. He wrote:
"while reproduction may be a good, it is not the only good at which persons or policies may or should aim; and there are times when two goods conflict. Neither is it too strange to suggest that there are times when a person should abandon one good because of the greater moral gravity of some other, greater, good. It's possible that reproduction is one of those goods."
I also wrote a blog in response to Richie, arguing that "Gaia doesn't care where your baby comes from". From an environmental point of view there seems little reason to place limits on artificial but not natural reproduction, or to restrict publicly funded IVF (as Richie suggests) to the "biologically infertile".
Finally, Iain wrote a follow-up piece about conflicts of interest and ethical analysis. Some had criticised Richie's arguments on potentially ad hominem grounds. Brassington argues (persuasively) that what matters are the arguments, not their origins.

Economic arguments and assisted dying.
by Dominic Wilkinson (@NeonatalEthics)
Lord Falconer's assisted dying bill is being debated today in the House of Lords. In the past week or two there has discussion in the media of many of the familiar arguments for and against such a proposal. As Roger Crisp noted in yesterday's post, there have been relatively few new arguments. Supporters of the bill refer to compassion for the terminally ill, the difficulty of adequately relieving suffering, and patients' right to make fundamental choices about the last stage of their lives. Opponents of the bill express their compassion for the terminally ill and those with disabilities, fear about coercion, and the omnipresent slippery slope.
One concern that has been raised about the assisted dying bill is the fear of abuse in the setting of an overstretched public health system. For example, Penny Pepper, writing in the Guardian notes that "Cuts to social care are monstrous…How would the enactment of the Falconer bill work if brought to our harassed NHS?"
JPE 2(1) – The pursuit of sex equality keeps going off the rails
So claims renowned Oxford philosopher and feminist Janet Radcliffe Richards. Professor Radcliffe Richards is the author of The Sceptical Feminist, Human Nature After Darwin and Careless Thought Costs Lives: the ethics of transplants. She was also listed recently as one of the world's 50 most important thinkers by Prospect magazine.
Writing in the Journal of Practical Ethics, Radcliffe Richards criticises a common view about sexual equality.
Women hold only 11% of executive positions in top companies in Europe. There are public campaigns to achieve gender balance in public office and top positions in corporations. Political parties are criticised for having low numbers of women in parliament or cabinet.
But Radcliffe Richards argues that society should not be aiming for equal representation of men and women in these ways.
Sex equality sounds self-evident as a requirement of justice, but we need to be clear about exactly what kind of equality is required.
There is much confusion between two quite different kinds of equality, and only one of them is relevant to justice between women and men.
Justice does not require equality of status, wealth, or any other outcome between the sexes. What matters from a moral point of view is equal consideration of interests, which is quite different.
Radcliffe Richards agrees that policies to increase the representation of women in influential areas are of great importance. But she argues that they need a different kind of justification. Recognizing this should make a significant difference to the politics of sex.
See here for the free full text article in the latest issue of the Journal of Practical Ethics.
The Journal of Practical Ethics is a new open access philosophy journal, published by the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford. The journal aims to make philosophy relevant to public debate and practical questions. It publishes works by leading academic moral and political philosophers that are accessible to a broader public audience.
Telling porkies

One of my registrars asked an interesting question this morning. A commonly used life-saving medicine in newborn intensive care is derived from animal products; should parents be told?
Morality, science, and Belgium's child euthanasia law
Originally posted on the OUP blog. Reposted with the permission of the author
Tony Hope is a Uehiro fellow, Emeritus Professor of Medical Ethics at the University of Oxford and the author of Medical Ethics: A Very Short Introduction.
Science and morality are often seen as poles apart. Doesn't science deal with facts, and morality with, well, opinions? Isn't science about empirical evidence, and morality about philosophy? In my view this is wrong. Science and morality are neighbours. Both are rational enterprises. Both require a combination of conceptual analysis, and empirical evidence. Many, perhaps most moral disagreements hinge on disagreements over evidence and facts, rather than disagreements over moral principle.
Consider the recent child euthanasia law in Belgium that allows a child to be killed – as a mercy killing – if: (a) the child has a serious and incurable condition with death expected to occur within a brief period; (b) the child is experiencing constant and unbearable suffering; (c) the child requests the euthanasia and has the capacity of discernment – the capacity to understand what he or she is requesting; and, (d) the parents agree to the child's request for euthanasia. The law excludes children with psychiatric disorders. No one other than the child can make the request.
Is this law immoral?

:: Home > Around the World > Parents Lonely Vigil As They Wait For Son Aged 4 To Die So Others Can Live
© europics.at
01. 07. 14. - 15:00
01. 07. 14. - 15:00
In a tiny 20 square foot room alongside a hospital Chinese man Qiu Peiliang is waiting for his son to die.
Two months ago four-year-old Yen was diagnosed with a brain stem glioma, a disease in which cancerous cells form in the tissues of the brain stem from the glial cells. The glial cells in the brain or those that hold nerve cells in place, bring food and oxygen to them, and help protect them from disease, such as infection.
His dad, 36, and his mother He Chengqin, 34, from southwest China's Guizhou province, gave their son all the treatment that they could afford, but it didn't help, and as he slowly became more and more disabled as the cancerous cells started to press into his spinal column, they decided to give up.
Dad Qiu Peiliang said: "It was tough on him having the treatment and the doctors made it pretty clear that they didn't think he was responding, and given that he was in pain we decided it wasn't fair to continue to put him through it all. Unthinkable though it may seem to somebody not in our situation, we wanted to end his suffering and asked doctors if they would accept his organs as a donation to maybe help save another's life. Although suffering from cancer, brain stem gliomas usually do not spread outside the brain stem and so we he be safe to offer a transplant."
Under Chinese law however a person can only be accepted as an organ donor if they are either dead, or in a coma that they are medically not expected to wake up from. As a result his parents decided to rent a room next to the hospital, where they keep their son and try and make him as comfortable as possible while they wait for the time when he slips into a coma or dies.
Dad Qiu Peiliang said: "I believe that by helping another to live my son will also in some way live on. Apart from that, there is only really one other wish that I have, and that would be for the doctors to find a hospital bed for him where he can be given the sort of care that will ease his suffering before he finally passes away. We can care for him as much as we can with love, but he still suffers.
"It is hard to believe that two months ago we had a happy family and life seemed good. I'm not prepared to just put his body into the ground after he's gone. Now we're just waiting for his death so we can complete the formalities and hand him over to the doctors to hopefully save another life."

Nearly One Third of Children in Study Had Correctable Refractive Errors
As kids head back to school or start kindergarten, it's the perfect time to make sure they have the best possible vision. A study of more than 10,000 preschoolers gives parents information on vision risks based on ethnicity and other factors and underscores the importance of early vision screenings.
Nearly a third of the preschoolers in the study had refractive errors, slight irregularities in eye shape that affect how well images can focus on the retina. About 4 percent were nearsighted, 21 percent were farsighted and 10 percent had astigmatism. All three of these refractive errors cause blurry vision. African-American kids were more likely to be nearsighted but less likely to be farsighted than Hispanic and non-Hispanic white children. Astigmatism was most likely among Hispanic children followed by African-Americans, and least likely in non-Hispanic white kids.
Also, about 5 percent of the children had amblyopia, known as "lazy eye," and about 2 percent had strabismus, a misalignment condition commonly called "wandering eye."
The study found that even when kids' refractive errors were mild, they were at higher risk of amblyopia and strabismus. These two conditions can occur separately or together, and need to be corrected as early in life as possible, ideally before kindergarten. If not treated, they can result in permanent, lifelong vision loss that can limit job options and enjoyment of life. For instance, either of these disorders can lead to loss of depth perception.
Strabismus is easier for a parent to spot, because one of the child's eyes may turn inward or outward, some or all of the time. In amblyopia, one eye is stronger than the other due to strabismus or other causes, but since the child may appear perfectly normal it can be hard for a parent to detect a problem. This is why preschoolers need to have vision screening by trained health professionals at their doctor's office, clinic or school.
Treatment for amblyopia is often as simple as "patching" the stronger eye for part of the day so that the weaker eye has to work harder, which helps it develop normally. Eyeglasses may be needed if the child also has a refractive error. Strabismus treatment sometimes involves surgery.

Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at International Republican Institute.Interview Details
This was absolutely the worst interview process I have ever gone through. After two phone interviews, I was flown to DC to meet with the President and Vice President, and the program manager. (They had me flight in and out of DC from Texas in the same day.) The program manager acted as though he had no idea who I was or why I was there. Clearly there was some internal miscommunication. After a very positive interview with the Pres and VP, the program manager basically made me an informal offer and said they would be in touch on Monday (it was Friday). Then I waited. And waited. And waited so long, another job offer I had on the table was withdrawn. My attempts to contact them were fruitless, they were clearly avoiding me. After several weeks, I was told they would be interviewing additional candidates. I inquired politely what I might have done better. No answer, and no further follow up.
It was a heart breaking experience. I thought I had the job, and the rug was pulled out from under me at the 11th hour and I was left unemployed. I lost all respect for this organization and the people interviewing me. The way I was treated is simply unprofessional and disrespectful. Personally, it was heartbreaking.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at International Republican Institute.Interview Details
1) Applied online 2) Had an informational interview with a friend in the organization 3) Interviewed with the deputy and director of the department I was going to work with 4) Interviewed with the President 5) Was made an offer
This is the usual process, best advice is to find someone from the inside you can network and have advocate on your behalf. Also note that the time between initial interview and interview with the President or senior leadership can take some time as they travel often. Even if you are a well liked candidate the final interview can sink you; it is a casual interview but they are looking to see if you are a good fit for the organization.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThere is not much flexibility unless you have another offerAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- Understand what the organization is. Do not except to travel the world and be offered an oversea posting soon after you are hired. Additionally, fully understanding their HR schedule for promotions and pay increases. Answer Question
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at International Republican Institute in December 2011.Interview Details
Took about 2 months to hear back from initial application. First interview scheduled within the week contacted - took place over the phone as I live out of state, second interview scheduled at the conclusion of the first. Second interview seemed like it would normally have been broken up into 2 rounds (met with increasing levels of seniority) but wasn't as I had traveled in. Heard back following the second round within one week. Interviewers were concerned with fit (asked why IRI & wanted to understand my philosophy about democracy promotion).Interview Questions

I worked at SoulCycle part-time (less than an year)Pros
The workout is incredible and you get to do it as much as you want. The product is definitely something to be proud of.Cons
The staff, for the most part is made up of 20 something year old females. Behind the scenes was always very catty, dramatic, and full of cliques. It was always hard to feel like you fit in. I worked at a SoulCycle studio for almost a year and never really felt like part of the team. The studio managers loved to gossip. They would fake compassion for riders and staff and then spread rumors using information given to them in confidence. Though the concept and product are both fantastic, working in this environment could not have been more opposite.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Hiring managers with more life experience to avoid turning each studio into a bad high school environment. Morale would be much higher with stronger, more mature leadership.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

How do you convert a data frame column to a numeric type?
Since (still) nobody got check-mark, I assume that you have some practical issue in mind, mostly because you haven't specified what type of vector you want to convert to
Now I'm about to demonstrate certain "conversion anomaly":
Let us have a glance at
and let us run:
Now you probably ask yourself "Where's an anomaly?" Well, I've bumped into quite peculiar things in R, and this is not the most confounding thing, but it can confuse you, especially if you read this before rolling into bed.
Here goes: first two columns are
If you utilize
but if you do same thing on
If you save transformed
So, the conclusion is: Yes, you can convert
And just to prove my point:
And now, just for fun (or practice), try to guess the output of these commands:
Kind regards to Patrick Burns! =)
Something that has helped me: if you have ranges of variables to convert (or just more then one), you can use
A bit nonsensical but just for example:
Say columns 3, 6-15 and 37 of you dataframe need to be converted to numeric one could:
Tim is correct, and Shane has an omission. Here are additional examples:
With the following code you can convert all data frame columns to numeric:
and for converting whole matrix into numeric you have two ways: Either:
None of the answers here particularly worked for me.
I ended up doing the following:
-store the names of all the variables you want to change in a character vector
-apply the type changes in a for loop
I think the problem with Jay's approach is that it leverages that you know the column numbers. I can't particularly be arsed to figure out the column numbers of 20 or so variables in a data table with 100+ variables, so that approach is moot. If you try passing a character vector, it tries to coerce the names of the variables to numbers and yields only NAs, which screws up the whole process.
The following accomplishes the same, and uses some key advantages of data.table
PS I'm just noticing that this question was posed for data frames, but I assume everyone has converted to using the data.table package by now. The loop solution should work for data frames as well, but this version ran much faster for me.
Though others have covered the topic pretty well, I'd like to add this additional quick thought/hint. You could use regexp to check in advance whether characters potentially consist only of numerics.
For more sophisticated regular expressions and a neat why to learn/experience their power see this really nice website: http://regexr.com/

A counter-view of the story told in Boxers. Yang has another triumph here.
Fourth daughter to a family who doesn't want her, Vibiana believes that she is truly evil and joins the group that everyone calls "devils," the Christians. This is a companion book to the author's book Boxers and describes the Boxer Rebellion from another angle, although it's still from a Chinese perspective. Although I was initially a bit confused by Vibiana's visions of Jeanne d'Arc (since Boxers allowed for a metaphoric interpretation of the supernatural aspects and this one didn't), it made sense for that character, considering what happens to her in the end (we find this out in Boxers, although I wish we didn't). Good companion to Boxers, but I wouldn't recommend it on its own.
Good read. Look forward to reading the other half, Boxers.
In SAINTS, Four-Girl is the unwanted, unappreciated daughter of a Chinese family. Repeatedly called names and accused of being a devil, she vows to become one, and begins to learn the "foreign devils'" teachings. She learns about Christianity from Dr. Won (while enjoying Mrs. Won's cookies), and is baptized (her new name is Vibiana), to the horror of her own family. She runs away with Father Bey to a larger town, where she helps in an orphanage. She has repeated visions of Joan of Arc and decides that her fate is to become a woman warrior as well, to fight the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious Fist, an anti-Western Chinese group to which, she discovers, some of her family belongs. When the Society and the Red Lantern attack Vibiana's village, she is killed.
Like many younger children of Chinese families, especially daughters - at least in literature - Four-Girl is made to feel that she does not really have a place with her own family. Though she finds a place with the Christians, she never seems fully committed to the faith itself, nor does she pay attention to or understand the stories. When confronted by her family member (brother? cousin?) on the other side of the conflict, she is shaken when he uses the phrase "make China whole," which echoes Joan's mission. Is Vibiana on the wrong side of the conflict after all? She does not get a chance to find out.
I am not the most skilled reader of graphic novels - I don't spend as much time "reading" the pictures as I should - and when it came to the fighting at the end, I was unclear about who was who. I also felt that the larger context was missing, or simplified (traditional Chinese vs. Christians). Perhaps BOXERS will provide additional context.
"Jesus - he's the acupuncture victim?"
"What...?! ...You mean the man on the cross? Yes." (35)
"I don't need stories right now! You know what I do need? A straight answer!" (155)
Boxers and Saints, Gene Luen Yang's graphic novel set about the Boxer Rebellion in China told from the perspective of a young man who becomes a rebel leader and a young woman who converts to Christianity and stands against the rebellion. I loved Boxers, but was less enamored with Saints. Boxers felt like a full story, showing the history of foreign colonial contact with the Chinese and fleshing out motivations for its characters. I loved the artwork, especially the Chinese gods that the rebels envisioned themselves transforming into; I also loved the author's decision to depict all foreign speech in meaningless scribble while the Chinese dialogue was written in English. This heightened the reader's identification with the Chinese rebel perspective because like the Chinese villagers, the reader literally has no idea what the foreign missionaries and soldiers are saying and must judge them solely based on their actions.
Saints, which is about 1/3 the size of Boxers, definitely felt like a sidenote. It focuses on a girl who is unwanted, called a devil, vows to be the most devilish devil she can be, and decides that aligning herself with the so-called "foreign devils" by converting to Christianity is the most evil thing she can do. Unlike the main character in Boxers, who rises to the status of prominent rebel leader fairly quickly, she struggles throughout her book to find a purpose and seems like a bystander in her own story. This might have been intentional, as Yang in both books draws attention to the male warrior's fear of contamination by women - whose "Yin" will weaken their fighting spirit - and their attitudes that women can't really contribute in a meaningful way to society. But the female character's general listlessness, combined with the shorter narrative, made this perspective feel like more of an afterthought to the "real" story presented in Boxers. I am posting the combined review on the bookpages for both volumes, because they are intended to be read as a set.

Ever since Ronnie Radke's not-so-amicable departure from Escape The Fate, his subsequent incarceration and the formation of his new band, Falling In Reverse, both bands — and to an extent, their fans — have waged a semi-constant battle in the press.
The rockers are also streaming the title track, 'Ungrateful.'
Escape the Fate is an American post-hardcore band from Las Vegas that formed in 2004.
Escape the Fate was formed in 2004. Guitarist Bryan Monte Money, vocalist Ronnie Radke, bassist Max Green, drummer Robert Ortiz and rhythm guitarist Omar Espinosa met through mutual bands in preceding years.
Escape the Fate's guitarist shows off his prized Ibanez Prestige.

Though the year is not yet over, looking back over the last 12 months of movies it's fairly safe to say that Michael Bay was once more responsible for the single dumbest movie of the year. In truth, he was responsible for two of the most numb-skulled of movies, but his Turtles travesty (which bears far more hallmarks of his film-making than any other director, no matter who was supposed to be in charge) made Transformers 4 look like Battleship Potemkin.
The film feels aged already, as if every joke – including a "Pimp My Ride" reference – was written ten years ago and nobody thought to check if it was all still current. And of course, this being a Bay film, everything was shot with ridiculous over-hyped importance (including a ludicrous emotional swell and visual flourish when April O'Neil presses an intercom) and at an angle of 130 degrees, »

A gust of wind swept underneath the wings of Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 at the box office on Friday, easily enough to notch the biggest opening day at the domestic box office in 2014. In comparison to the previous Hunger Games films and third entries in other mega-franchises, Mockingjay's first installment failed to reach cruising altitude and will go down as the lowest opening film in the franchise to-date.
Following a $17 million Thursday night debut, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 raked in an estimate $55 million on Friday to take over the top opening of the year from Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction with $41.9 million. That mark is overshadowed by the original The Hunger Games opening to $67.3 million, while its sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, exploded to a $71 million opening day.

Normally, by mid-November, we have a pretty good idea of many of the likely nominees in most of the crafts categories. But in this year's race for Best Sound Mixing, I see things as extremely open — there's not a single film that strikes me as assured of a spot and more than a dozen appear to have very good chances. That makes for an exciting race. This category awards the overall mix of dialogue, music, effects and "everything else" into a film's soundtrack. This is different than sound editing, which recognizes the creation and editing of artificial sound effects. Being a leading Best Picture contender can certainly help a film's chances in mixing (seen in "The Social Network," "The King's Speech" and "Moneyball" in recent years), as can being a war film, a musical or a respected (or even not-so-respected) blockbuster. There are also certain mixers who score very regularly indeed. »

There's a good chance that, even if you consider yourself a pretty big fan of director David Fincher, there's a fair amount of his work you've never lied eyes on. Before he reached the cinematic heights of this year's Gone Girl and cultural landmarks like Se7en, Fight Club and The Social Network, Fincher worked primarily as a music video director. He worked with some pretty big names, too, with his video production company Propaganda Films seeing him rub shoulders with fellow future tians of cinema like Spike Jonze, Zack Snyder and Michael Bay, making clips for the likes of Madonna, Aerosmith and Michael Jackson.
It was that music video work that got him his first feature gig, the underrated Alien 3 (Fincher's quoted as saying "No one hated it more than me; to this day, no one hates it more than me."). That experience was »

Jiang Wen's upcoming Gone With The Bullets is on its way to blockbuster status in China — a month before its release. At a press conference this week in Beijing, China.org reports it was announced that the film has already pre-sold 120M yuan ($19.6M) worth of tickets. IMAX pre-sales have also broken the midnight premiere record of 4M yuan ($653K) set by Michael Bay's Transformers: Age Of Extinction. It's been speculated that this film, a sequel to 2010's Let The Bullets Fly, which made 720M yuan ($117.5M) in China and $140M worldwide, could be the one to beat Age Of Extinction's all-time China box office record set earlier this year with a gross of $301M. But producer Ma Ke noted at the conference, "What has made us happier is we spent four years making a serious, high-quality movie.

Originally set for release in February 2014 under the title Welcome to Yesterday, the found-footage thriller from producer Michael Bay was delayed by Paramount Pictures on short notice, reportedly to refine their marketing strategy. It's now titled Project Alamanac and is due in theaters on January 30, 2015. What changed? Below I've embedded the new trailer for Project Almanac as well as the first one for Welcome to Yesterday. It looks to me that the new marketing strategy is to disguise -- or at least not emphasize -- the found-footage angle. The story is the same: high school students put together a time machine, change recent history to their benefit, and then must fix the damage they've unwittingly caused. Over the years my enjoyment of found-footage movies has steadily...

Paramount Pictures has unveiled a brand new trailer for director Dean Israelite's thriller, Project Almanac. Tying together two distinct genres; found footage and time travel, it might come as a surprise to learn that the long-gestating movie was produced by none other than Michael Bay.
Bay's Platinum Dunes label picked up the film back in 2012, switched its name to Welcome To Yesterday and began shooting in 2013. Aiming for a Winter 2014 release, at the last minute the studio pulled the pic from the cinematic calendar. After reinstating the original title, the finished product debuted at Comic-Con last year, receiving a most encouraging response from critics.
With its release date edging ever closer, a new rebranded trailer has arrived to further stoke our curiosity. It comes across like a sorta-sequel to Chronicle, borrowing the same style and similar thematic emblem of meddlesome teens. Focusing on a group of high schoolers »

Michael Bay, who spent the year adding to the Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchises to grand box office success, is now using his lingerie intensive, explosion filled producing powers to deliver a found footage time travel movie. Why? Because he can, so behold "Project Almanac." And while this movie might seem like a total surprise, it screened this past summer to select attendees at the San Diego Comic-Con. Now it's coming to theaters, and the first trailer has arrived. The film is directed by Dean Israelite and stars Jonny Weston, Sofia Black D'Elia, and Amy Landecker, none of whom are among the most well known names on the planet, but that doesn't always matter when a high concept is front and center of a movie.
