text:
Over the years, Burnham-on-Sea, a seaside resort in Somerset has been regularly affected by tidal flooding. As a response, a high wall was erected along the coastline, returning waves back to the sea. The 1.6 kilometres long and 3.2 metres high sea wall regulates access to the sea by a series of raised steps and vehicle access points which can be closed during storms.
As part of her BA Design course at Goldsmiths, designer Hannah Fasching decided to make use of that gigantic wall and reacquaint the inhabitants of the town with the intertidal zone, the space between the high and low tide. She organized a screening along the sea wall, using footage shot in the 1930s, before the wall was built. The films shows how people used to ride bicycles and do sport on the beach and how in the past, the seafront functioned as a vibrant cultural hub.
The project, called the Intertidal Cinema, established a conversation with this architecture of control and neutralization. It also looked at how new relationships can be established between humans and the temporary spaces provided by nature.
Can we continue to exist within an infrastructure that seeks to not only resist, but nullify natural forces? How might we approach increasingly fragile sites in a way that challenges the inherited attitude of conquering nature as though it were an opponent? Can the temporary spaces that occur naturally in the environment provide us with a new way in which design can operate?
Hannah has recently exported the project to London. For three nights, she turned the tidal beach of Deptford creek into a social space. I caught up with Hannah to have her talk about the project in general and about the film she projected in Deptford.
Hi Hannah! Could you first tell me again the story of that beautiful vintage cinema sign we see emerging from the water in Burnham-on-Sea?
The first Intertidal Cinema took place in Burnham-on-Sea's intertidal zone, between high and low tide. We stood the sign in the mudflats on the beach at low tide. What we didn't realise at the time was that the speed of the tide coming in depends mainly on the bank of the beach and that the flats being 'flat' submerge within minutes. Thinking we had time to play the film and collect it afterwards, at sunset, just as the film began playing we turned around just in time to see a wave sweep away the bottom rung of letters. And a few minutes later the whole sign was submerged; an unexpected but appropriate demise.
What made you chose Deptford Creek for the second edition of the IC, rather than any other area by the river bank?
Deptford is at a pivotal point in its history, the waterfront that I remember less than a year ago is now unrecognisable. As a former royal dock, it has evolved from an area defined by its natural topography into an area characterised by rapid urbanisation and gentrification.
In Deptford, much like in Burnham, there is an abrupt contrast between the natural and artificial landscape though the artificial is much more dominant here. The tidal river, Ravensbourne runs from the Thames through Deptford and creates an intertidal zone fluctuating 7m in the heart of Deptford.
As a project that explores this relationship by creating social spaces in temporary environments, taking the project to Deptford meant it developing in a new way.
I've never been there but i had a look on google image. It seems to be a radically different from Burnham. How is the tidal creek of Deptford used now? Is there any social activity there?
Things do happen here, but many are not specifically tied to the river. There is a big community of artists along this part of the river, with studio spaces and galleries as well The Laban Dance Centre, which was built 11 years ago.
The creek creates a unique wildlife area which the local authorities are keen to preserve. The creekside centre, an educational facility, provide tidal walks once a month on the creek. The ahoy centre, a charity in Deptford based on the waterfront, encourage water activities and sports on the river. The Ha'Penny hatch bridge, which can open to allow boats to pass, is a public walkway with many commuters passing over every day. The creek runs underneath this bridge.
How did you make the space more comfortable and enjoyable for people?
Holding a cinema in an area where it doesn't normally function instantly transforms it. Using the bridge as a watching platform, we projected onto structures which faced out onto the creek. One of the projections leaned out over the bridge, projecting vertically onto the water. The cinema took place as the tide was going out, as the water emptied from the creek the projection became clearer, until it eventually hit the rocks below the surface. The tide became the factor which focused the image.
Could you talk to us about the Deep Ford film? It seems to be very different from the film you showed in Burnham.
The film in Burnham consisted of archive footage, a window into the history of the seafront before the wall.
In Deptford it's more of a contemporary take on gentrification and how the area has developed relating back to the history of the dock.
The Deep Ford is a reference to the ford on which Deptford developed. The film shows historical architectures and landmarks around Deptford, many of which played an important part in the shipping industry. Voices of people who were interviewed as part of the project are used to animate these architectures, each voice representing a different place, as though the places are talking to you. These people are people who live, grew up and work in Deptford, but also people involved with how it's changing such as redevelopers. The physical space starts to take on the voice of the social.
Why do you think that it is important that humans (re)connect with natural forces?
To use a quote from Wendell Berry, a poet, environmental activist and cultural critic:
"The cities have forgot the earth and will rot at heart till they remember it again."
Wendell Berry, 1969
In its broadest context the project is about climate change, though it addresses in a different way than a project that might involve weather robots and cloud seeding. I think what is required is an increased understanding of the natural environment, but it seems to me that the well documented expansion of cities is fundamentally incompatible with this. A city is essentially a hardscape.
Using an extreme example; Tokyo as a city sitting on a tectonic boundary, is in permanent conflict with it's natural surroundings. The strict building codes in Tokyo mean that the architecture responds the the natural surroundings. Building foundations are built to move with seismic activity. If our natural environment is to be increasingly volatile, a failure to understand and act in relation to it will only ever cause problems.
The Intertidal cinema that took place in Deptford works in direction relation to the tide, using this force to focus the image of the projection.
Your project explores ways for people to "experience the extremes of the environmental conditions'. Is that out of concern for the future of a country threatened by sea rising?
It can't not be. The project began by documenting an area of land artificially lower than sea level, and suffers from flooding as a result (Somerset).
If the sea is rising what will our relationship with it be?
I think this is already happening, this relationship is being configured through sea wall's and flood defences. Whether it's on the coast in Burnham or in the city of London. They both dissolve the relationship with the water and are also potentially apocalyptic because of the risk of them failing.
What's next for the Intertidal Cinema?
Following on from the last answer, I see the project developing towards larger scale responses to the temporary spaces in the natural environment.
Thanks Hannah!
The new episode of #A.I.L - artists in laboratories, the weekly radio programme about art and science i present on ResonanceFM, London's favourite radio art station, is aired this Wednesday afternoon at 4pm.
Today's guests are Evan Roth, Becky Stern, Geraldine Juárez and Magnus Eriksson from the Free Art and Technology Lab (F.A.T. Lab), a network of artists, engineers, scientists, lawyers, and musicians who are committed to supporting open values and the public domain through the use of emerging open licenses, support for open entrepreneurship, and the admonishment of secrecy, copyright monopolies, and patents.
Some of the members were at the MU gallery in Eindhoven last week for a F.A.T. Lab retrospective as well as for the launch of THE F.A.T. MANUAL. In this episode, we will be talking about 3D printed guns, Ideas Worth Spreading which allows you to deliver your own pirate TED talk, open culture and how to remove Justin Bieber from your web browsing.
The radio show will be aired this Wednesday 20 November at 16:00, London time. Early risers can catch the repeat next Tuesday at 6.30 am. If you don't live in London, you can listen to the online stream or wait till we upload the episodes on soundcloud.
F.A.T. GOLD Europe. Five Years of Free Art & Technology is at MU in EIndhoven until January 26, 2014. THE F.A.T. MANUAL is on print on demand but you can also download it for free.
There are countless parodies, imitations, versions of the Technoviking. The fabulous and the lame ones that you can expect Youtube to harbour. But the character has also inspired a couple of artworks: Wafaa Bilal put the head of the raver in a public park and watched it grow bigger as people were tweeting about it. And for The Marc Horowitz Signature Series, 19 performances aimed at 'improving' the lives of the citizens he encountered, Marc Horowitz reenacted the techno viking dance session in a junkyard in Walsenburg, Colorado. I saw that one a few years ago at the Espace culturel Louis Vuitton in Paris. Because technoviking knows no social boundaries. Neither does he have any mercantile limits: you can buy Technoviking action figures and Technoviking t-shirts.
And now there might be a documentary about Technoviking. But probably not the one its many fans were expecting.
Matthias Fritsch, the artist who shot and uploaded the video has spent 3 years in a legal battle in Germany. In 2009 (2 years after 'the technoviking' became an internet hit), the raver starring in the video sued the artist for uncleared 'personality rights' and tried to remove Technoviking from the web. Not only the original video (called "Kneecam No. 1") but also all the thousands of mash-ups, copies, comics, parodies and other content uploaded online by enthusiastic users. All had to be removed. The protagonist of the video even requested that his famous fingerpointing pose be erased from the internet. At the end of last month, the judges decided that the original video would not be allowed to be shown as long as it is possible to identify the protagonist. Besides, the filmmaker has to pay the money that he had earned to the plaintiff. The earnings came mostly from YouTube ads with a few extra euros from TV-licenses and T-shirts sales.
Fritsch has started a campaign on indiegogo to raise funds for a documentary about the Technoviking story. First of all, because Fritsch has been studying and documenting the many reactions to the videos for years and the phenomenon in itself is worth discussing. But also because, as he puts it:
the documentary would be :a means to pave the way for artists and internet users around the world to be able to protect themselves against old laws that have yet to catch up to contemporary meme culture."
All this without ever being allowed to actually show the main protagonist of the story.
I caught up with Matthias online the other day...
Hi Matthias! You published the Technoviking video on YouTube in 2006 but it was not before 2009 that the mysterious man sent a legal notice asking you to stop using the video and all derivations of it. Why do you think it took him so long to write you? Was it because he wasn't aware of the phenomenon until then? Or is it because something changed in culture or laws in 2009 that made him realize that the moment had come to do something to protect his "personality"?
I can't say for sure why it took the plaintiff so long to get back to me. Already in October 2007, just a week after the video became viral, I met people in China who I had never met before and who already knew the video. Therefore I find it hard to believe that it will take somebody two years to get notice of being involved in such a big viral effect.
What happened with this trial? Is it finished? What was the decision of the law?
The trial is finished. Basic results are that I am not allowed to show the video anymore in its original form, meaning as long as it is possible to identify the plaintiff's image. If I cant show the protagonist so can't users anymore who mash up the video. According to the judgement a violation can have consequences of up to 250 000 Euro fine or up to 6 months of jail for me. Also I have to pay him all the money that I have earned since 2008 and I will need to cover 7000 Euro for my part of the fees for the trial and costs for his and my lawyers over the last 3,5 years. Since the judges didn't support him in many points of the lawsuit like the banning of user reactions like comics, re-enactments or mashups that are deemed "arty" enough (the German term is "besondere kunstgerechte Bildbearbeitung") in connection with the video's protagonist. Those should still fall under the freedom of expression. Also the judges seem to have concluded that the plaintiff is rather after the money than really trying to solve his argued personal problems in connection with the video and therefore denied him to claim further financial compensation from me. There is still a chance that the plaintiff is not happy enough with this result and files an appeal against the judgement.
In the indiegogo campaign you say that "The trial was not just about me and Technoviking, it pointed out the borders of free culture and user reactions and one can also conclude that we need new categories in the law how to deal with memes on a legal basis." Could you tell us what you mean by this? Where do you think the law should go? And where do you fear it might go?
I am not a specialist in law and I can just describe my "amateur" feeling after being involved in this case. Therefore I can't provide a solid legal concept yet how the law should include new forms of expression that we find in the contemporary network culture, but I realized that there is a big gap between the actual laws and how I think of this case from a perspective of logic & human spirit. What was the situation when the legal problem started and what could be changed about it by a trial? If there has been a viral Meme in the net for years, if it's been watched globally, copied, used for mash-ups, and if it got out of control - what possible result can a judgement bring in reality that by stating that it is not allowed anymore to continue with the further use? Especially since it it became a web-celebrity which is handled by users like a common piece of media that belongs to everybody?! The young generation grows up with a new understanding of how to deal with media in times of instant copy, paste and edit. And the most common effect of censoring something popular is that this makes it even more popular.
If there is no right for mash-up and fair use for cases like the Technoviking-Meme I fear that, as it is already the case in the music business, lawyers might pick up this way of easy & massive money making and start to send cease and desist letters to prosumers for violating personality rights by doing mashups or forwarding it in FB, etc.
An other interesting point is the fact that in Spain or the US the Technoviking-Claim wouldn't even have a legal basis since it all happened in public space. I would love to talk with competent people about those issues, bring them together within the film that I am planning to create and hopefully find answers and possible solutions.
But more generally, i've been wondering how your case wasn't symptomatic of what is happening more generally with internet culture nowadays, when laws seem to be crafted in retrospect and punish you now for something that wasn't illegal at all 5 or 10 years ago. With -for example- designers or artists receiving bills for copy rights of images they used online 10 years ago as part of a student project, at a time when there wasn't any law detailing what could be or shouldn't be done in terms of copyrights for online images, etc. Is this something you would like to comment on?
I think that's of course a problem and always will be one. I am not aware of those examples when a bill points back 10 years, but it points out that the images you talk about are still online. Since the web hardly forgets anything we need an awareness of what we put out there and what is still online in our own accounts. One radical way could be to cut credits completely, only focus on important content and ideas that will be published anonymous, untraceable but alive.
The Technoviking is by far my favourite meme. Yet, i do sympathize with a man who is universally ridiculed (and didn't ask for it, unlike many reality tv 'stars'). Did you try to reach some kind of arrangement with him? Some understanding which would have been less dramatic and time/money consuming than a court case?
The first thing I did was sending him a personal letter, thanking him for finally contacting me and offered that of course I'd like to share whatever I earn and that I would be open to think together about how to make both a part of living out of the meme's popularity.
What strikes me in your case is not so much that you are brought to court (i do find it sad though, don't misunderstand me!) but that you have to be held responsible for the fact that the whole technoviking meme got out of your hands (as is the case with any meme.)
The judges didn't hold me responsible for user reactions and neither denied me the right of showing them in lectures or art projects as long as they don't show the plaintiff.
Matthias Fritsch, The Story of Technoviking - Indiegogo Campaign, 2013
You are planning to shoot the documentary within the legal restrictions that have been made clear by the judges. What are these legal restriction exactly?
The conditions are that the plaintiff should not be identified in the material. I also will not reveal any name, address and so on that could point out how people can find him.
You have created an archive of the different versions, creations and reactions inspired by the technoviking. It is so big that, as you write, "you would need a week to see all the versions that are out there!" So let's end on a cheerful note! If you could select 5 of these versions, which one would they be?
In the past I have created some compilations that research specific recycling strategies by fans and are real enjoyable to watch:
For the biggest part of the user-reactions, since they mash up the original video, my hands are bound at the moment because i shouldn't link directly to content that shows the plaintiff's face. So people need to find these ones themselves. But i can talk about it and it is just incredible how perfect Michael Jackson's song "Beat It" is fitting on the Technoviking clip. As if they were made for each other. There are other songs that are awesome in combination with my video but "Beat it" beats them all in terms of accidentally perfect match.
Also some collages like "the end of the vorld party" or a streetfighter like game simulation of Technoviking against Vernon Koekemoer are results of an incredible fan culture that i could have never come up with myself.
Thanks Matthias!
I do love that Beat It techno viking and Matthias might not be allowed to point directly to it, but i can!
The exhibition Shoot! Existential Photography opened a few weeks ago at The Photographers' Gallery and i never got to mention it so far. The selection of work is fantastic, the theme is seductive and it makes you want to locate the nearest playground.
Load, aim, Fire!
In the period following World War I, a curious attraction appeared at fairgrounds: the photographic shooting gallery. If the punter's bullet hit the centre of the target, this triggered a camera. Instead of winning a balloon or toy, the participant would win a snapshot of him or herself in the act of shooting.
The exhibition celebrates the use of the shooting gallery at fairgrounds by the famous (from Jean-Paul Sartre to Federico Fellini) and the non-famous but also the contemporary artists who have been intrigued by the idea of shooting oneself.
The most stunning work in the show is probably the video-sound installation Crossfire by Christian Marclay. I felt like that rabbit in the headlights of a car (or was it a hare? or a deer?) Crossfire is a super fast, loud and powerful sampling of shooting scenes from Hollywood movies. You stand in the middle of the room and wherever you turn your gaze there's Clint Eastwood, Antonio Banderas or some other action hero star aiming and shooting at you.
Since the late 1970s, Jean-François Lecourt has been literally shooting his own image. In his early experiments, the bullet smashes the camera. The roll is pierced by the shoot. In the second series, the bullet perforates a wall of the lightproof box, a ray of light comes in and leaves a mark on the photosensitive paper.
Similarly, Rudolf Steiner uses the camera as a target. In the series Pictures of me, shooting myself into a picture, the bullet hole is the aperture for a pinhole camera, creating an image upon impact.
The story of Ria van Dijk is endearing. Every single year, the lady goes to a fairground shooting gallery in Tilburg, Netherlands to shoot a self portrait. She started her pilgrimage to the shooting booth in 1936, when she was 16. The artist Erik Kessels collected all the images she has taken at the fair. Going from one self-portrait to another is fascinating. You see her hair getting greyer, her glasses following the fashion of the passing decades, her friends or fans coming along with her, etc. The only pause in the sequence is from 1939 to 1945.
I've written about the work of Steven Pippin in the past. His Point Blank series of photos was made by cameras recording the precise moment of their own destruction by a gun.
The action takes place in total darkness with the flash being triggered just as the bullet breaks open the analogue camera and hits the negative inside it.
Sylvia Ballhause bought a shooting rig from the booth of a family business in Germany. It was the last booth working with analogue, large-format cameras in the country.
The shooting gallery is not as popular as it used to be but you don't need to go far to try the amusement yourself, the Photographers' Gallery has turned on of its rooms into a photographic shooting gallery so that visitors can shoot (at) themselves.
Shoot! Existential Photography is up at the Photographers' Gallery in London until 6 January 2013.

Do you remember Technoviking? He was one of Youtube's sensations in 2007. Millions of people admired his dancing skills and undeniable male magnetism but to this day, his identity remains a mystery. The technoviking video has been blogged, commented, shared, emailed and sparked numerous parodies.
Wafaa Bilal has installed an inflatable Technoviking avatar at All Saints Park in Manchester for AND, the Festival of New Cinema, Digital Culture and Art (running this weekend and you should run there too if you can, it's that good). The gigantic head is linked a twitter account and in order to breathe life into it, people have to tweet about it otherwise Technoviking will go flat and dance right back to oblivion again. So go and tweet #technoviking to keep him alive!
Pop culture and astute social comments cohabit in this work like in other works by Bilal. Meme Junkyard is fun and a bit silly of course but it also invites us to reflect on the promises of constant connectivity, on the meaning of 'going viral,' of generating almost unlimited levels of attention before fading back into disinterest. What happens to the technoviking (as well as to the other meme that will soon lay to inflate and deflate in the meme junkyard) is similar to what awaits our ego when other web users stop re-tweeting our rants, linking to our blog posts (oh please let that never happen to me!), or thumbing up our status on facebook.
And the one and only:
Wafaa Bilal is going to discuss his work this Sunday at Cornerhouse. The event is free.
AND, the Festival of New Cinema, Digital Culture and Art remains open all over Manchester until 2 September 2012.
Other works by Wafaa Bilal: Subversion in the Arab Art world, A few words with Wafaa Bilal, Book Review - Shoot An Iraqi, Art, Life and Resistance Under the Gun, Positions in Flux - Panel 1: Art goes politics - Wafaa Bilal, ...and Counting.
The Circus as a Parallel Universe, edited by curators Gerald Matt and Verena Konrad. With essays by by Birgit Peter, Matthias Christen and Verena Konrad. And interviews with pop artist Peter Blake and filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at Kunsthalle Wien.
You can find the book on Amazon .com and .co.uk.
Publisher Verlag für moderne Kunst writes: Clear the ring for the world of acrobats, clowns, and exotic animals! Presenting a number of contemporary works of art, the catalog »The Circus as a Parallel Universe« offers an introduction into the universe of the circus and highlights a wondrous place full of knowledge of the world, surprises and sensations, a place of poetry, but also of excitement, confusion, and unease. The circus as a parallel world has become a projection surface in film and literature, but also in the fine arts.
I wouldn't normally review the catalogue of an exhibition i haven't seen but i was seduced by the description of the book and its accompanying images (midgets! Anthony Quinn in La Strada!) But then i don't know much about the circus, i've never even been to the circus. Not because i have that "clowns freak me out" affectation but because i've always been so sad for the animals.
Still, there is something unique and endlessly appealing about the whole circus aesthetics though: the garish colour, the merry silhouette of the tents, the posters, the costumes (which i do wear on some occasions) and Moira Orfei (do click with sound to max volume). Don't laugh at Moira, she used to be the most beautiful creature of Italy. I just wish she'd leave those tigers alone.
The book has the usual format of a catalogue: a series of essays and then a few pages about each artists participating to the show, plenty of images and a couple of interviews thrown in. The essays are particularly good at identifying the rules and roles of the circus. On the one hand it's a world of escape and dreams. A world where social conventions, animal behaviour and even the laws of physics are challenged. But it is also a microcosm that sets very clear limits to its own transgressions, makes a business of violating norms and requires that its members operate within a strict framework.
The text The Circus as a Model of the World charts the intertwining histories of circus and cinema. Both shared the same venues, the same audiences and the nomadic lifestyle in the early days of the cinema. They might not have so much in common right now but the movie industry has never stopped looking at circus as a source of inspiration (apparently some 600 circus films have already been produced in 30 countries.) The essay Taste and Prejudice, however, demonstrates that the circus isn't meeting with the same appreciation as the other sources of entertainment. While theatre and circus used to compete in the 19th century for example, it is now obvious that one is now regarded as a form of art while the other doesn't meet with the same respect.
The interviews in the book are as enjoyable and though-provoking as the essays. They would, however, benefit from some context or at least a short introduction. For example, the interviewer kept asking Peter Blake about his collection. If i hadn't seen an exhibition about that collection two years ago, i wouldn't have received much information about it from the interview only.
I've said a few words about the essays, the interviews, the images are as good as you can hope in a catalogue. Let's talk about the small texts explaining the works exhibited by each artist. Actually there's only one thing i can say about them and it is that they are in german only! The whole book is in english and german except the part dedicated to the individual works. Why be so cruel? Why translate one half of the book and leave the other part in german only? Still, i did discover a few works i liked a lot. That Deborah Sengl does animal anthropomorphism like no one else.
The artists selected have found inspiration in the circus in its childhood entertainment form (as opposed to glamourous Cirque du Soleil-like performances), reconstructing part of its magic, decoding its figures and metaphors, extending its boundaries. Here's just a small selection of their work:
In 2005, Javier Téllez organized a parade of patients from Mexicali's CESAM mental health center. They were protesting against general views on mental illness in today's society. The procession stopped in Las Playas, a Mexican town on the US-Mexico border for the first-ever firing of a human cannonball over an international border: from Mexico to the US.
In the installation illustrated below, light chains hanging from the ceiling move up and down. The installation is activated by a person pedalling on an exercise bike.

so an update on things
1) I finally underwent surgery to stabilize my right cornea. It was very painless, and I'm now fine.
2) Matt Granger, who used to be known as That Nikon Guy, was in Singapore two weeks ago. And he did a meetup cum photo walk. So we went along and it was much fun.
3) I've done a bit of switching around of gear. I'm now shooting with a Voigtlander Bessa R3A with a Nokton 40mm lens. It's a rangefinder so I'm still getting used to it.
yes. that is about it.

By Killer Kalyn | Follow on Twitter
In the new thriller Girls Against Boys, men have wronged Shae for the last time. Instead of the usual method of moving on that most women resort to, which involves a myriad of chick flicks, and a large amount of Ben and Jerry's, she and her coworker Lu decide to join up and get even.
I'm pretty excited for this film, as I am for any slasher that depicts women as the villains and men as the victims. This doesn't mean that I have anything against men, or that I see women as wrongdoers, I just find it thrilling to see the tables turned every once in a while. It isn't very common, and it makes the outcome of the film harder to predict. Surprisingly enough, the film was written and directed by a man, so I'm guessing that he feels the same way that I do. Check out the photos and trailer for the upcoming horror flick below!
Written and directed by Austin Chick, the cast for this film includes:
Danielle Panabaker, Nicole LaLiberte, Andrew Howard, Michael Stahl-Howard, Liam Aiken, Suzie Cho, Robert Chang, Teena Byrd, Will Brill, Benjamin Forster, Reyna de Courcy, Raul Casso, Lauren Ashleigh, and Carmine DiBenedetto.
Girls Against Boys is set to release on February 1st, 2013.

The news anchor ranted and raved about the ABC reality show on Monday's episode of "Late Night with Seth Meyers"
Brian Williams has weighed in on many important debates over thirty-plus years in the news biz, but this is not one of them.
The "NBC Nightly News" anchor and aspiring Sir Mix-a-Lot impressionist sat down with Seth Meyers during Monday's episode of "Late Night" and, for some reason, all he wanted to talk about was "The Bachelorette." As it turns out, Williams is obsessed with ABC's highly-rated reality show.
Also read: Ratings: 'The Bachelorette' Finale Wins Night for ABC; 'Big Brother' Down
All it took was one innocent question about his daughter Allison Williams' invitation-only viewing party, and the newsman was off to the races.
"After tonight, Seth, I think this will be a kind of new era. We will know more," Williams said. "Are there roadblocks? Are there IEDs in the road, in front of this show? Yes. 'Opportunities as a homemaker in Iowa,' hello there, red flag. Um, 'if my mom doesn't like you, it's a no go' — red flag numero dos.
"We have nicknames for [all of the finalists, but] not all of them are suitable for family viewing, even at this hour," he continued. "A lot of them based on hair: hair preferences, fear of losing their hair."
See video: Brian Williams Raps 'Baby Got Back' Thanks to 'Tonight Show' Mashup Magic
So which contestant does Williams want to win the heart (and rose) of this year's stop-happy Bachelorette, Andi Dorfman?
"Just as I wouldn't speculate going into an election night, I can't speculate on the outcome … except to say Andi, we're with you, we realize this season has been one of heartache, great travel and adventure, fabulous hotel suites," Williams said. "But what a season, I think you'll agree."
Andi and her remaining suitors are heading off to a romantic getaway in the Dominican Republic on the July 14 episode of "The Bachelorette." We can't wait to hear Williams' recap.

The two married couples in this woefully schematic play turned film emote madly, revealing all manner of sexual secrets and hidden jealousies, not one of which will come as a surprise. Screenwriter Joe Hortua, adapting his 2004 play with cowriter/director Dan Mirvish, gracefully time-shifts between two ill-fated parties, both of which, regrettably, are angst-filled and humor-free. Initially, the poor but radiantly happy Carlo and Grace (Taye Diggs and Julia Stiles) have dinner in upstate New York with their wealthy friends Joel and Sharyl (David Harbour and Melissa George), who do a lousy job hiding their disdain for each other. Two years later, a blissfully renewed Joel and Sharyl visit Carlo and Grace, now with a newborn they don't exactly adore, debts they can't pay, and a lot of hostility toward their well-to-do guests. The script gives each of its fine actors a lot of showy dialogue to chew on, and though the four hit their marks skillfully, the characters and crises never ring true.

Product Information
- Hot Wheels Total Control Racing Car & Charger from Mattel
- Part of the Hot Wheels brand
- We recommend this product for ages 6 and up
- 4 AA batteries required TTPM trusts
What It Is
Total Control Racing is part of the Team Hot Wheels line. The Hot Wheels vehicles in this line utilize infrared technology and are controlled with a remote control. These 1:64-scale super fast cars can be powered up to 500 scale miles per hour. The remote control also doubles as a charger for the vehicles. Attach the car on the top of the controller, and when the green light goes out, it's ready to play. A single charge lasts about 20 minutes. The car goes forward and backward, and there is a turbo button for bursts of high-powered speed. Designed for indoor play, the remote control and car work within a range of about 15 feet. There are four different cars in the line (sold separately), and they are all compatible with Team Hot Wheels Total Control Racing track sets, which are sold separately.
Is It Fun?
Total Control Racing uses sophisticated, high-speed technology and puts kids in control. This is easy to use and provides a great value. Kids will like racing these fast cars on their own or using them in the Total Control Racing track sets.
Who It's For
Hot Wheels Total Control Racing Car & Charger sets are for ages 6 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
The controller requires four AA batteries, which are not included. The car is powered by a permanently installed rechargeable Li-Po battery.
TCR stunt tracks are sold separately, and can enhance the play, though kids will probably get a kick out of building their own tracks, obstacles and challenges for these cars.
The Total Control Racing cars are not for use with some Hot Wheels sets, according to Mattel.

reggiep (14th February 2013)
Burning the candle late Nick!
Love it. There is some great sounding stuff there Nick - The checkin / checkout system was something i was considering just the other day as i loaned a pool laptop out and scratched a post-it note for my record!
I'd love to see a little more attention on the helpdesk - along the lines of the recent addition of uername and time to the front screen list.. Perhaps a nice table with lots of info - ability to assign jobs to individuals (encompasing the "hand back to user") - high profile job "ownership" with perhaps a smart-tile listing outstanding jobs etc.
Largely all front-end stuff
Other than that can't think of anything at the moment! It's running really well for us (though my server still needs an occasional reboot - i havent debugged that properly yet!
Looking forward to the internal login stuff
Thank you so much for developing this fantastic resource!
Everything's great so far, anymore work being planned on the homework section?
- - - Updated - - -
- - - Updated - - -
Oh, thought that was what some of the stuff meant... whoops.
Can i request that as an easier feature then please - so we can have live tiles on intranet homepage.
@mattianuk some live tiles will work with the kerberos login for internal, my files and exchange tiles will not work, as well as the whole my files section. Users will get a prompt telling what works and what doesn't.
Exchange is the one I wanted Thought that would be quite a funky feature, but can understand the difficulties. Wouldn't need myfiles.
The booking room stuff would be good though!
@mattianuk, it's down to how the authentication system works and unfortunately I haven't figured that part out completely yet. I may add a remember me checkbox for internal users on the forms logon page to remember their details.
Little sneak peak
Attachment 17215
But, but, the Exchange Live Tiles are working, as long as you know about the new Exchange Impersonation feature

Help Desk request:
Just setting up HAP for another school and they have quite a limited Google Apps email system. I'd quite like to tell the Helpdesk to treat a couple of specific users as "Helpdesk admins" who recieve emails in the same way that my "support@freman" group does.
Looking at the xml, the people who recieve helpdesk emails appear to simply be whoever is on the "reply-to" address on the email config line. I'd quite like to specificially direct helpdesk emails to the asst head and the technician (it's a small primary). Hope this makes sense..
Another helpdesk request.....
Basically, when you get over the 500 closed tickets mark, by the time of archiving off and creating a clean xml file i have nearly 700 tickets in one xml file which was painfully slow. A fix for this would be wonderful

Bartlett research changes the world.
It's not something we do to get our name into journals or impress other academics. We do it with issues in mind that are bigger than the built environment, but to which the built environment can make a critical difference – issues such as the sustainability of cities and communities, wellbeing, health and cultural interaction.
These are complex challenges. But the depth and breadth of expertise in our eight schools and sections means we can make inroads. The Bartlett's research community is home to architects, engineers, physicists, economists, ecologists, historians and project managers. Our location at the heart of London connects us to a powerful cluster of firms, institutions and networks and allows us to attract high-calibre staff from around the world. And we're able to draw on the talents of some of the best minds from other UCL research communities, in medicine, social science, the arts and the humanities, for example.
Together, we home in on gaps in knowledge between specialisms and develop new methods, new forms of discovery and new kinds of exchange between disciplines.
When we do that, we deliver world-class research with real impact: in the UK's 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), Bartlett research staff achieved the greatest proportion of 4* (ie. world-leading) ratings overall of any faculty in the built environment field.
Explore the MPhil/PhD pages under our individual schools and sections to discover the diversity of recent Bartlett research, from smart cities, housing and the office of the future to renewable energy in China, urban poverty and the hydrogen economy.

Celebrity Street Style: July 15th, 2011
Summer casual was the dress code for the week. Which star had the best off-duty style?
By Abby Gardner
Nicky Hilton
Colored denim. Colored denim. Colored denim. Everywhere we turn this summer, that's what we see. If you'd asked us a couple years ago if we thought we'd ever buy a pair of purple jeans, we'd have told you "Hell, no!" Oh, how things have changed, as evidenced by Nicky out running errands in LA. We love that she's not shying away from color on top too, choosing a printed green caftan top. Well done, Ms. Hilton.

Smoke blankets the house on 3rd Avenue in Colville as the Colville Fire Department Fire District No. 3 firefighters take their positions around the structure.
Fire trucks and vehicles line the street as the volunteer firemen talk on radios and confer with one another over the situation at hand. The only difference in last Monday night's fire was that it wasn't an actual emergency—it was a training exercise set up on a house donated to the CFD by a local businessman. The new location, complete with two-stories, gave the department a training ground to practice their skills on---an invaluable resource, according to CFD Volunteer Training Officer and firefighter Ryan Power.
"It's really rare that we are able to get live fire training, and it's even more rare when someone donates a structure we can actually work in," says Power. "Usually, if someone donates a building for a controlled burn, it's so dilapidated that it's unsafe for our guys to go inside. It just so happens that on this one, the house is in good condition, so we have the opportunity to use it to simulate live fire situations that we have to deal with."
Not set in stone
During last Monday night's training, there was no actual fire---machines blew smoke throughout the house so firefighters could practice accessing different entry ways into the house, proper use of equipment, including oxygen tanks, and radio operations, to name a few.
It's entirely a team effort, says Power, with all the firefighters learning how to do each individual task. Safe to say, a lot more goes into it then breaking down doors and aiming hoses.
"I wish I could say that there was some set-in-stone policy about how to handle each fire we come up against, but there's not," says Power. "Every fire is different, so everyone has to know how to do everyone else's job."
According to CFD Chief Joe Hirsch, the department responds to an average of 100 emergency fire calls per year. Hirsch and Power receive small monetary stipends for their respective roles within the department, but none of the firefighters are paid. The City of Colville provides the department with a budget for training, but that amount has not yet been revealed for 2014.
It costs an average of $1,000 to $2,000 in training for an entry level firefighter.
Hirsch says he hopes to hold four to five more training sessions at the house on 3rd Avenue before the department burns it down in March.
A moment's notice
"These are guys that drop everything at a moment's notice when we get that call to help people they might not even know," says Hirsch. "Most of them work full-time and have families, yet they are willing to put themselves in harm's way."
The department is required to maintain standards in training and safety put forward not just by the city, but also the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Training that can't be covered in-house requires firefighters to go to the Fire Training Academy in North Bend. The academy puts forth a list of training classes each year for entry level and seasoned firefighters.
"It's a continuous cycle," says Power of firefighters' training. "Standards change, methods and techniques change—it's not like we can send each guy through a couple of classes and then claim that we have the perfect fire department. We're constantly learning."
Currently, the CFD is at full roster, with 35 volunteers, all men, with ages ranging from mid-20s to early 50s. According to CFD standards, entry level firefighters must have a minimum of 120 hours of training, including fire control, search and rescue one, first aid and CPR certifications and emergency vehicle training.
"There is no difference between a volunteer firefighter and a professional firefighter in terms of training," Power says. "We try really hard with the resources we have and we make it work. We have to."

WILMINGTON, Delaware — Delaware State Police say two men were arrested after two cars collided in Wilmington, injuring three people.

From the Washington Post:
Nearly every criminal case reviewed by the FBI and the Justice Department as part of a massive investigation started in 2012 of problems at the FBI lab has included flawed forensic testimony from the agency, government officials said.
The findings troubled the bureau, and it stopped the review of convictions last August. Case reviews resumed this month at the order of the Justice Department, the officials said.
U.S. officials began the inquiry after The Washington Post reported two years ago that flawed forensic evidence involving microscopic hair matches might have led to the convictions of hundreds of potentially innocent people. Most of those defendants never were told of the problems in their cases.
One wonders whether the FBI had a good reason for stopping the review.

Sunday's Tribune editorial with such fine prose regarding our legislature's continued lack of prioritizing reminds me of the smart kid facing a bully.
The smart kid's clearly right, but he keeps getting his butt whipped on the playground.
Russell Pearce and his stooges will continue to bully those who disagree and stand in their way. The smart kid better get some street smarts and defend himself, before the bully chases him and all the other smart kids away. The stench of fear is in the wind. Who will step up?

I am so happy to read that you and H are in such a good place now. We are only a little over one year into rebuilding and I still need to talk to him about some of my feelings but do not know how to bring it up. I still feel he carries a torch for OW and wish he would be able to see her for what she really was. I have asked him if he regrets never being able to have a open relationship with her and he says no, he just used her. But then I wonder how it could have gone on for 3 years if she really meant nothing? I also wonder why it took so long to go no contact after promising this even during counseling. Any ideas?
5 D you have helped so many of us with your gentle and kind wisdom and advice and I thank you for still being with those of us who are far away from being healed.

BOSTON (November 7, 2007) — Simmons College senior Sarah Daniel of Rochester (Ma), has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Women's Soccer First Team, as presented by the College Sports Information Directors Association (CoSIDA).

The College Division includes colleges and universities nationwide with Division II and III athletic programs, as well as those affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) division; Simmons College has a Division III athletic program.
As tri-captain, Daniel ranked third on the Simmons team, with seven goals and three assists for a total of 17 points. Daniel, a midfielder, also recorded three game-winning goals for the Simmons Sharks, which tied her for fourth overall in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) this season.
A physical therapy major, Daniel holds a 3.86 GPA and was a member of the GNAC All-Academic Squad last season. (This season's squad will be announced this spring). She is a member of the National Athlete Honor Society and serves on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Junior Seau Suicide Renews NFL Concussion Debateby Free Britney at . Comments
Junior Seau's grieving family does NOT believe the former football great's death was related to on-field concussions he sustained as a player, but his suicide has nevertheless renewed an ongoing debate over the NFL and brain injuries.
Police found Junior Seau dead yesterday at his San Diego County home.
Seau family sources tell say the death shocked them even more than it did his many fans, as Junior never complained about concussion-related medical problems, nor did he mention or appear to be suffering from depression.
Seau never spoke, allegedly, about the ongoing legal dispute between the NFL and retired players who claim the league concealed critical information about long-term effects of concussions over the past few decades.
Junior's apparent suicide, from a gunshot wound to the chest, instantly drew comparisons to the death of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson.
Duerson left a suicide note explaining he shot himself in the chest because he wanted his brain to be sent to the "NFL brain bank" for further study.The family is unsure why Junior wanted to kill himself, but feel there isn't necessarily a link to concussions and Duerson comparisons are premature.
Neurosurgeon Julian Bailes, longtime researcher into brain damage from concussions, responded with grief and medical questions about what toll Junior's lengthy football career (20 seasons) might have taken on the 43-year-old.
"As both a football fan and a researcher, the news comes with great sadness first of all for such a great player. But I think we have to add him to the list of those that we worry about who could have effects of chronic, repetitive brain trauma," said Bailes.
The chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the NorthShore University HealthSystem in Chicago added, "We don't have any strong evidence (yet about Seau), and we know that people commit suicide for other reasons. … But to me it's also concerning due to the fact that he had such a long playing history."
"The emerging research is perhaps pointing to the amount of exposure to repetitive head contacts being like a dose response. … The more you're exposed to sun light; you get a higher chance of skin cancer. … The more CAT Scans you have; you are exposed to radiation and perhaps side effects."

Junior was a blessing to watch. his love and sincerity was 1 of a kind I will always remember him for the way he played football and that contagious smile of his I love you junior his spirit will always feel our heart with love and generocity because that is who he is junior will always be the face of the chargers
Junior was a blessing to watch. his love and sincerity was 1 of a kind I will always remember him for the way he played football and that contagious smile of his
It's a pity that he's dead,and died like this but I think his death surely has some secrets with it that needs to be unveiled so that he can rest in peace and for him not to have told his family what he was probably passing through shows the depth of the pains because for some people,the more the pains the more they detest communication which eventually leads to irrational and dangerous decisions.Now it's about time the NFL starts doing things right because if these great players are dying because of them then their bloods are surely on their hands.My heart goes out to his family.Take heart guys.
