The New Orleans 48 Hour Film Project
What Happened During Your Weekend?
The New Orleans filmmakers share stories from their wild weekend of filmmaking. (Blogging ended shortly after the filmmaking weekend.)
Film name Draft #4
As team leader, I pulled "romance" and with a cast of 6 women and a handful of men, I couldn't be more thrilled. Then the brainstorming began and it became obvious that the "romance" genre would be tough. At 3 AM we had no script, actors had no wardrobe instructions and call time was at 6 am. Fortunately we shot some footage Friday night and as the ladies were finishing up makeup (on Saturday) I continued hammering away at the computer. Finally at 9:30 AM we had a story and a script! Thanks to my phenomenal cast and crew, we got the job done - they were amazing and so very supportive! After 2 48's, I tell people that it challenges every core of your creative being. Yes, indeed!

48 Hour Craziness (As much as I can remember anyway)
Friday Night, we are assigned "Drama" as our genre. Nancy, my wife & producer breathes a sigh of relief that we didn't pick musical or western. I do too. But still we'd have welcomed the challenge.
Nancy pitches me a story idea she's had bouncing around for a while, and I dig it. We get to work writing. 4 hours to write the script A little bit of back and forth. Nancy wants to use a kid in the movie, I argue that the odds are already stacked against us, and adding a kid into the mix might prove problematic. After much deliberation she relents, but still thinks a kid would add to the story.
Finally e complete these script, which is a doozy (a 7 minute maximum doesn't allow for much exposition) but we have something we can work with.
We tell our cast and crew to meet us at 9 AM at our production office,
Saturday Morning 2AM: Trying to get a little shuteye before the big day. The storm outside, coupled with anxiety for the shoot says otherwise. I suddenly realize none of our locations have called us back. We're gonna have to shoot at my grandparents house.
Saturday Morning 7AM: Nancy heads to our production office to get it ready for cast & crew (coffee & donuts for all!) While I head to the office where I work my day job to use the heavy duty copier to print scripts. Luckily it's a production office and this copier is tailor made for that.
9AM: How's this for a good sign? Blake, one of our PAs showed up half an hour early (one who I met a coffee shop only a week before.)
Also most actors have already printed scripts and highlighted their parts.
One actor is late, one crew member has not shown up. Still no word from locations.
9:30 AM - All Actors are here! That one crew member has still not shown up. We get started with a table read.
After the table read one actress says we can use her house as a location. Rock on!
I get a text from the missing crew member claiming she never got my email. I don't buy it. Unfortunately she can't make it to our shoot now because she made other plans.
I realize I can't find my bulbs for my home-made lighting kit. I must've left them at home.
We tell the crew to head to location, and ask Casey, my AD to get actors into make-up and costumes and rehearse the first scene up. Nancy & I head home to looks for the bulbs.
10:30 AM - Found the bulbs, head to location.
11:00 AM - In an effort to get a head start on editing, I give our other PA a crash course on data wrangling. This makes me the most nervous because if we lose this footage, it's gone forever.
I'm trusting the fate of the movie to this kid I only met 2 hours ago.
Around noon: We are ready to shoot our first scene! The producer's phone rings. It's our Bar location. They say we can shoot there, but we have to go NOW. Otherwise the bar is just going to get more and more crowded. Strike the set!
12:30: We're stuck in French Quarter traffic. It's been 3 hours and we still have not gotten our first shot off. I'm starting to worry.
The Bar tells us we can use their upstairs Bar that's for employees only. Success! No meddlesome public causing unwanted background noise.
We get our shots without incident. I'm happy we've gotten something shot.
We head back to the house to get the rest of the shots.
3PM: We have two SAG actors, and SAG rules state that we must feed them after 6 hours of work. Pizza Time!
I'm starving, but I want to make sure everyone else has a piece before I dig in. Luckilly, three pizzas seems to be more than enough for the crew.
4PM: We've wrapped out one actress (the one who owns the house. But she's letting us stay and willing to lend a helping hand. We move into the kitchen to shoot our next scene. Goes off without a hitch.
I start getting texts from work, I generally don't work on weekends and I made sure they knew especially not this weekend. But there's a minor catastrophe brewing. They're asking if I can come in on Sunday. I don't have the time, but I also don't want this minor inconvenience escalate into a catastrophe. More on this later.
We move into the garage for the longest scene of the night. I'd hoped to shoot this one first, but it involved blood effects, and actors would've had to get cleaned up for later shooting. Something for which we didn't have time.
6PM we're in the garage getting ready to shoot a murder scene. Nancy makes the fake blood. Fake blood recipes call for a little bit of blue food coloring along with a whole lot of red food coloring. Nancy had put in a ton of blue. It looks like Grape flavored cough syrup. But we're looking at it under the kitchen light. We bring it into the garage and it looks much better under the set lighting. Go Nancy!
We're almost done. Our dead body is complaining of mosquitoes eating him alive. Unfortunately we need him there for continuity.
9PM: We finish the garage scene. We have our lead actress for another half hour. Also My data wrangler needs to leave soon. I can't take care of loading the rest of the footage when I start cutting.
We're down to the home stretch. We move into the bedroom to shoot our final indoor scenes of the night. These take place in a dark room, but we still need to light them to look authentic. I manage to somehow achieve what I call "Dean Cundey Blue" For those who don't know the name, Dean Cundey was cinematographer who shot Back to the Future and a whole slew of Spielberg movies. If you grew up in the 80s there's a good chance you saw some of his work.
Anyway the dark room shots look phenomenal. Now I need to shoot an insert of a smartphone screen. This proves to be more problematic than anticipated. I'm trying to focus on the screen but it's just not happening. I think I'm gonna need to just add this shot in post. Then the idea hits me. I set the tripod back on the floor and shoot the shot in reverse. I'm able to focus right away. The steadiness helps.
All dark room scenes are done and our lead actress is wrapped out on time.
10 PM: Like the Reverend Horton Heat says, It's Martini Time! Our only outdoor scene, and we're shooting with natural light. This shot takes six takes to complete. I'm still not happy with it. We didn't have a steadicam, so it's more shaky than I'd like. Also some cars ruin some takes, and because we're using natural light we get more shadows than I'd like.
I figure I'll be able to cut something out of the six takes I have. And with that we're wrapped!
As Casey points out, a working AD that we booths know would be proud. 7 Pages in 13 hours.
After cleaning, those with the energy head to Hoshun for drinks and Sushi. I'm thinking I should start cutting right away, but Nancy talks me out of it.
She's right, we save cutting for the next day.
Since we're relatively close to work, I go in and take care of the "crisis situation" takes me all of 12 minutes.
Sunday, 7AM: I hit the snooze alarm several times over.
8 AM: I hop out of bed and start transferring and transcoding the left over footage.
All footage is on the drive, much to my relief.
I need to sync the dailies now. I opt to sync footage as I'm cutting. This way I don't waste time syncing footage I'm not gonna use.
4 PM: I have a workable cut. But it's 30 seconds over the 7 Minute time maximum. I show the cut to Nancy, for the most part she digs it. She keeps commenting on the fact that we could have covered the actors in more fake sweat. She also doesn't like my cut away to a red flash when people get killed. Maybe it is kinda cheesy. I whittle away at a couple of scenes to get town to the required time limit. 5 seconds here 2 seconds there. Finally I get down to 6:58. Good enough.
Time to spit out a quicktime file. 28 minutes to export. God almighty. We're cutting it close. 5 minutes to load it on a jump drive. Not too bad. All done. Oh wait I should do a backup. 16 Minutes!? Why did the first one only take five. After the longest 16 minutes of my life. My editor's mind makes me triple check the files on the jump drives. They play fine. doesn't hurt to double check. And always back that shit up.
We make the drop with 35 minutes to spare.
All in all this was a great experience. Everyone was cordial. No screaming, no whining. just good ol' fashioned movie making. A phenomenal cast & crew made it all that much better.

Our Tank started drawing people.
We used a British combat tank (A small one) for our shoot. The shoot was in a small Gentilly neighborhood, very quiet not alot going on there.
We figured we were good.
The one thing that didnt occur to us was the just mere sight and sound of the tank rumbling down the street and parking in the driveway would cause such a stir.
We had an ongoing stream of people and cars stopping to take a look at the tank.
We ended up having to post scouts to give us an all clear for shots around the tank.

AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Fashion Week is fading to black.
Fall previews wrap up Thursday night, with the rescheduled Marc Jacobs show, but there's been a steady parade of dark clothes straight on through to Wednesday, Day 7.
Black is basic, right? Black also is the color most likely to be worn by the front row of editors, retailers and stylists filling the Lincoln Center tents and venues around the city.
For the past few seasons, however, the insiders had been buzzing about brights. It was a trend that easily translated to a variety of consumers and price points.
It seemed just about everyone tried the colored-denim look over the past year -- and that's exactly what makes black, and the other wearable, classic styles dominating Fashion Week, feel new, said Brandon Holley, editor-in-chief of Lucky magazine.
"It's going to be a good season to shop for things you'll keep a long time," he said.
Narciso Rodriguez said he favors a black season, though you can't do every season in all black (he's come close sometimes) and it really doesn't work for an entire collection. But it's the quickest route to chic.
Rodriguez often sets off black with white for a graphic effect.
"I love working with black, and I open and close this collection with it, but in the middle I added a color statement," he said. "I like color as long as you can do clear, modern color."
He dotted his catwalk with shades of orange and pink.
Michael Kors went heavy on the black, in fur camouflage coats and mixed with safety orange and bright blue in dresses and other pieces. Rachel Zoe put on a parade of black, in a set of shaggy sleeves and a leather skirt, along with looks in white, gray and navy.
Numerous other designers also went to black, also pairing it with navy.
Jacobs gets the last word Thursday night, before the fashion crowd moves to London, then Milan and Paris.
Equestrian portraits from the 17th century helped inspire a new season of red-carpet artistry by designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig.
In particular, a painting by Francisco de Goya called "Portrait of Maria Teresa de Vallabriga on Horseback."
"Highlighting Goya's influential style of dark shaded color applied in layers, the techniques used to craft this collection are derived from the same grandeur of exquisite detail and romance," the designers said in their notes.
But Chapman also fancied a red equestrian jacket, and Craig was ready to step up the already elaborate threadwork.
Unlike some designers who are quite literal in their interpretations, Marchesa aims for artistry. That "jacket" ended up as a satin coat with an embroidered high collar and floral embroidery.
They must have scores of yards of tulle to create an illusion effect to envelope entire gowns and for sheer shirts that were worn with corset-style dresses.
Kors went for "chic survival mode" on his runway for men and women, inspired by October's Superstorm Sandy.
A black rubberized shaker-knit sweatshirt was worn with taxicab yellow track pants that had tuxedo stripes made of more black leather. For those who need to make it to the office during a storm -- literal or figurative -- there was a gabardine-leather toggle coat and rubberized pullover sweater with black cotton trousers.
Kors said in a backstage interview he aimed for styles with "endurance, speed and strength, but I love elegance and glamour, and I don't want to give it up."
His house was full, including Michael Douglas, Hilary Swank, Jada Pinkett Smith and Zoe Saldana.
Stars aligned for Lepore in a collection with a cosmic theme.
She said she found herself intrigued by the surfaces and textures beamed back from Mars by the Exploration rover over the past few months. She was drawn to prints that looked like manipulated images of Earth's land and water from far away.
Lepore worried it would come off as too close to camouflage.
"I always panic about things that can go wrong, but then I try to think about what's right about the collection," she said.
So what went right? "I love the coats. Take the black coat and a hologram handbag, and you're good to go," she said.
A starburst-embellished T-shirt with brushed deep-olive pants, and a violet-colored asymmetric peacoat with an iridescent striped sweater deserved some kudos, too.
A Khan gown makes a grand entrance. Maybe that's why first lady Michelle Obama seems to like them so much for big events.

Diane Whitehouse
Canadian (born in England), b. 1939
Look at Me, 1986
acrylic, oil on canvas
172.7 x 213.4 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of William A. Bruning
Painting, Canadian Contemporary (1980-present)
Recognized for her large abstract paintings, Diane Whitehouse has never dealt with pure abstraction as her work is always based on a source that exists in the real world. For a substantial part of the 1980s, the central theme of her paintings dealt with the visual structure and subject of the room as a vehicle of expression. Whitehouse often uses concepts and concerns related to women. This painting in particular explores the place between comfort and confinement. In the WAG work, the shadowy presence of a figure alludes to both the body's absence and its vulnerability. Look at Me is inspired by the novel of the same title by acclaimed British author Anita Brookner, where the main character's turmoil revolves around presenting a quiet unassuming persona to the outside world yet internally is desperately seeking attention and recognition.

Willie Geist's Parenting Advice to Kanye West; Star Jones Celebrates a Birthday
After the last few head-spinning Wednesdays at Michael's kept me ricocheting between Hollywood A-listers (Meg Ryan) and tabloid targets (Rachel Uchitel), it was something of a relief to turn my attention to the restaurant's core constituency of authors and their agents (remember books?) who have always viewed the dining room at 55th & Fifth as a de facto company cafeteria. When I arrived a few minutes before noon and overheard Tom Connor telling L'Oreal Sherman he was meeting Gretchen Young for lunch, I just had to go over and introduce myself. Gretchen was my editor at Hyperion, and we worked together on two bestsellers: I Love You, Mom! a collection of celebrity essays I edited and Objection! which I co-wrote with Nancy Grace. Like I always say, in certain circles, all roads lead to Michael's.
Now vice president and executive editor at Grand Central Publishing, Gretchen recently signed Tom's clients Willie Geist and his father Bill Geist to write a father-son book scheduled for publication next year to coincide with Father's Day. When Willie (who, it should be noted, is quite the snappy dresser) arrived, I asked him if the dapper duo had ever worked together before. "Aside from some yard work, no," he told me. The yet-to-be-titled tome does have a subtitle: Birds, Bees and Other Conversations We Never Had. "It's not going to be one of those super earnest father-son books," says Willie. Bill describes the book as something "born out of our experiences and what we've learned from each other."
"It's really our humorous take on things," says Willie, which seems only fitting since his first book, the bestselling American Freak Show, was a send-up of our tabloid culture featuring imagined conversations with characters like 'President' Sarah Palin. The upcoming title will chronicle life growing up in the Geist household through a mix of essays and interviews. "I think we'll both write things and then bounce it off each other," says Bill. Sounds like there's no shortage of material. "There's the time the Christmas presents were accidentally locked in the trunk of dad's company car and a sledgehammer was wielded," recalls Willie. "And then there was the summer I was sent off to what was supposed to be an idyllic summer camp in New Hampshire, and I'm not exaggerating when I say the counselors were fresh-out-of-rehab juvenile delinquents, and there were literally knife fights going on around me. We'll basically write about what not to do."

With its aerodynamic body and hourglass grill, the Lexus LF-LC Sports Coupe Concept Car is one of the most futuristic and innovative hybrid vehicles we've ever seen from the luxury auto maker, and wait until you see whats under the hood. The headlights were inspired by jet fighter afterburners and feature LED details and the LF-LC is also the world's only vehicle to have a front to back glass roof. Inside, two 12.3-inch LCD screens serve as navigation and speedometer displays. Lexus's stylish concept hybrid vehicle is as fast as it looks, packing lots of punch with its super boosting hybrid powertrain engine. The design allows for the perfect combination of ultra fuel efficiency and the high-performance driving Lexus is known for. We loved the clean lines of rich wood, metal, and leather that accentuate the surprisingly roomy interior, complemented by the panoramic sunroof. No details on when this beauty will come to market (if ever), as it is for now a pure concept, but expect to see some of these design details translate from the auto show through to the Lexus line.

it sounds like you are having a wonderful time! your pictures are great.
They wonder why the hell you would want to come to Hobart
perhaps this is what he/she was referring to. some of us believe that hell is a literal place....portland is a literal place and probably not much different from hell. if it makes our more sensitive readers feel better, i would not be offended if you rewrote your sentence and substituted 'portland' for 'hell'. double check with the other oregonians. we wouldn't want to offend
when do you get back??
.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called the government. They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

Actually i think I have found the offensive item. A photo I took in Salemanca Market of a T shirt.
The slogan reads Mc**** (uncensored version).
The shirt hangs in the open at Salemanca Market.
They aren't as hung up on profanity as the US is.

I head home on Thursday.
Vegimite is like a jelly spread made of veggies. It isn't horrible. but it is an acquired taste. They usually put it on toast. They have wonderful debates on whether you should put it on thick or thin.
Apple and Pear stands are all over country. These people are trusting. Basically they are just open stands with bags of apple and pears and an honor box for payment. In the states this is refered to as free food.
The country side is gorgeous. No billboards.
Some notes on traffic laws. Parking signs say 1P or 2P or something like P5. It may even say 4P meter. Basically this means this 1P is parking one hour. 2P is two hours parking. Not be confused with P5 which means 5 minutes. The number is after the P not before it. If the word meter is on the sign that means you poy to park there for up to so many hours. If you don't pay the ticket is $25
Since there is a lack of artificial colors chocolate milk is still basically white. Chocolate milkshakes are also basically white. However they are heavy on the blender. They make their shakes pretty thin. If they ever had a Frosty from Wendy's they would think it was a food joke.
Lobster is not called lobster. It's Crawfish, which is nothing like the New Orleans delicacy that comes in a bite size snack. Also it's Craw-Fish (kraw-fish) not (cray-fish). And they have no idea what a crawdad is.
My wife has been thrilled to notice the lack of Mosquitoes.
Today we drove up to Freycienet Park and Wineglass Bay. This is a gorgeous drive. It is rement of driving the Pacific Coast highway around Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. The roads are narrow and winding. In driving school they teach you to drive with one hand at 10:00 and one at 2:00. That is a recipe for disaster here. You have one hand at 12:00 and the other on the shifter. If you want to rent an automatic in tassie you pay extra if they even have one. If you can't drive a stick you are in a bit of hurt. They really don't have those down here.
The long and winding roads have a speeds of anywhere from 25k to 100k and feel like you are on an wild ride at the amusment park. It is great driving.
Small sidenote:
Tassie has very dry air. You must drink lots of water while you are here. Else you get dehydrated.
I mention this because my wife failed in this. And driving on this set of roads is like a carnival ride. She got car sick. There are no emergency lanes.
Warning it is not nice to snicker when wife is getting car sick.
The drive to Wineglass Bay is about 2-3 hours. I suggest for your first time you double it. There are many gorgeous bays and beaches along the way you will want to stop at. There are also wineries you will want to stop and sample a few glasses at.
So as we made our way to Freycienet Park we stop at one of the beaches and checked the area out. Saw some starfish and gorgeous shells.
When we finally reached Freycienet Park we went to a game reserve they have there. There is an abundance of huge ducks that hang out there. It is a prime hunting area. My wife thanked me in advance for getting us shot. Meanwhile it was off season. The ducks never let you get close but in a few pictures you might see a few of them. You will also learn every little island or growth in the lake is fake and used by hunters for camoufloge. They place tall grasses around a frame and hang out inside. And with the good aussie spirit most of the frames are made up of signs and posts that restrict certain activities.
Now wildlife in Tassie is a bit different. In the city you are not likely to see much. Maybe a Bitarong that has escaped from a nearby wildlife park and that is about it. However for roadkill you will see all sorts. We say dead Platapus, Wallibies, Wombats, Tasmanian Devils, and maybe a fox(debatable). But live wildlife is tough. Now I know why most of it is nocturnal and avoids human contact for the most part.
Well I get the exception. I was driving back from the game reserve on a unsealed road(dirt road). And in the middle of the road is a huge Echinda. This is not some small cute little thing it's huge. So we follow it back to an empty stump took some photos and left it alone. My wife refered to it as the most tramatic five minutes of the Echinda's live. I refered to it as the perfect moment in my vacation.
As we drove through the Park we saw soem Wallybe. Even one with a baby in the pouch.
We finally made it to the main area of the Park. I would recommend if you ever want to go camping and hiking go here and dedicate at least 4 days. Yes you can easily spend that much time there if not more. We went simple and took the 3 hour excersion to Wineglass Bay lookout. This area is simply amazing. The path right now is not easy. It isn't handicap accesible. They are building a wimpy boring path that will be finished next month but this was much more fun. I have to admit though I was a bit discouraged by the gent who insisted on jogging up the path. Setting his watch checking his heartbeat made me feel like I was back in the states. I felt like chasing him with a pack of cigs and some twinkies yelling you forgot something. But that would mean I would have to exert myself and find a pack of cigs and twinkies.
I have to admit I was just stunned by how amazing this trip was. If this place had some heat it would be just about perfect.
More pictures:
One small note I mentioned before the lack of pennies. The one place they will get you with that is at the gas station. They always round up to the nearest nickel or dime. So remember that when you pump your petrol.
When you are lounging around in you hotel room make sure you have a bag of Tim Tam's. It a chocolate biscuit (cookie) that is just fun to munch on.

Brendhan, right, excellent, it sounds like you and your Wife are really having a wonderful time. I had to laugh about the warning to not giggle when wife is throwing up, heee, heee! I was very sick when we went to Fiji for a trip, my husband learned not to giggle when I threw up either. Kidding aside:
You are an excellent writer, Brendhan, and you take us right into sharing your trip with you and your wife. Yeah, keep up those good writing skills, and tell us more, you still have a couple of days to account. Continue with your fun, fun, fun, I wish it was warmer for you too, you baby!!!!!! Have a wonderful day, beautiful life and safe trip back home. Cindi

Well here is an early entry into my adventures in Tassie.
The reason being I have to get up early for tomorrow's adventure. So I will toss this in before I go to bed.
Today's travel went to a town called Sorell. We drove through it yesterday on our way to Wineglass Bay. The town is literally the fork in the road for your travels. When the Tasman Highway reaches this town it forces you to make a left or a right. If you go left You are going toward Wineglass Bay. If you go right you are going toward Port Arthur.
Our first stop was Sorell Fruit Farm. Which is just opened for the U pick season last weekend. U pick fruit is a little different here. Yes you can get strawberries. As a matter of fact in November it is the only thing you can get.
Last weekend was opening weekend. You would have thought they had gleaned the fields that first weekend. There were lots of strawberries but finding ripe one's was the trick. We found plenty though.
The Sorell Fruit Farm however has all sorts of fruits that you can pick as they become ripe. So what the heck is a Tayberry. And the reason I want to know is the bees were working the blooms like there was an open bar. The fruits become more and more available as it gets close to January with that being the peak of picking fruit season in Tassie. Did I mention the seasons are reversed here.
So with a couple of bins of Strawberries, a very happy wife, and more road tripping to go we head out to road continual reminding myself at each intersection to look right left right not left right left. And look over shoulder if your walking. Because they come at you from behind.
We had the benefit today of a gorgeous sunny day, complete with a nice wind off the Antarctic just to remind you how close you are to the south seas. Actually it was warm today. So when we found this gorgeous shallow bay. You could easily walk out 500 meters and never get your knees wet. I believe this is only possible in low tide. I suspect high tide would probably add a meter or two.
This area would be remenescent of the Bahamas or Bermuda. The nice thing was since the water was shallow it was warm. The bad thing it has these little crabs. Now there is a great eco system here. Lots of bivalves that the crabs like to eat. The Sea Gulls eat the crabs. And when the Sea Gulls die other sea creatures help decompose them which the clams eat. However there is one thing to upset this delicate eco system. Toes. That's right, little appendages on the end of your foot are a crab delicacy. They look at them like sausages and in Tassie everyone eats sausages. So here I am arguing with this crab over possession of my toes. I move my foot left the crab moves left, I move right the crab moves right. I move my foot forward he puts his claws up and whips out seasoning. Ok, not quite but it is very interesting to see these little crabs with bodies about the size of a quarter not running away from you. Best defense make a bird shadow and squack like a sea gull if the crab doesn't run away, it will die of laughter.
We made a stop at the Tasman Devil Conservation Park. They work at Rehabilitating[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[r Tassie Devils and finding a cure for the oral cancer that is afflicting the the Tassie Devil. Apparently this cancer is also contagious among Tassie Devils. Who apparently squabble and fight frequently. One of the reason for some much visible road kill is the lack of Tassie Devils who are basically the roadkill collectors in nature. I didn't dare suggest that oil, radiator, or brake fluid getting on the roadkill may have contributed to this issue. They may have fed me to one of these things.
Now Tassie Devils are a bit weird(like so much else down under). The Tassie Devil is a Possum (Okay actually it's a marsupial) but it has the tail of a possum and the build of one also. I don't mean a bush or ring tail possum. I am talking the American version that is the size of house cat and on rare occasion is rumored to feign death in order to avoid being eaten. So this Tassie devil is a Possum that is oversized and has razor sharp teeth that can bite through bone.
It eats meat, not fruit, veggies, or the occasional one that tries to get into my beehives. It prefers it raw also. And when they are distressed and or threatened they are loud. They also on rare occasion when fighting spin wrestle on each other. Not like the cartoon character made famous by Bugs Bunny / Road Runner. But not to far off either.
The park is short and basically keeps on it's premises animals that can't be reintroduced to the wild. So they have some friendly roos and wallabies.They also have a goose with green on it's bill. They are not friendly and look similar to what I saw at the game reserve yesterday except these at the reserve were gray. These geese like to stand on one leg like a Flamingo with it's knees on properly. The whole park can be covered in a half hour. It is basically a nice little tourist trap they use to help raise money to help rehabilitate devils get them off highly addictive fruits and veggies and back on raw meat. Okay I joke about the fruits and veggies but they help those that are injured or orphaned and can be reintroduced.
We continued to Port Arthur. Now Port Arthur in it's day was a prison city. The prisoners were brought into Port Arthur and assigned one of a variety of tasks from quarry to boat building or something else. Port Arthur only held the men and boy prisoners the females went to the female factory which Janel and I went by on our bike down Mt. Wellington.
Basically Port Arthur was a self contained city in some ways. There is an interesting situation that came about because of Port Arthur and helped contribute to it's closing. It worked. They would rehabilitate prisoners and give them a trade. Many of them would leave Port Arthur able to read, write, and have a skill which they could use to earn a living. Sounds good right? The problem was the townsfolk were complaining about losing jobs to reformed prisoners. Who had a trade when they came out of prison. So what happened was they enacted a parole system and basically closed down Port Arthur.
Now my wife has basically consolidated the history of Tasmania to these bullet points.
Blah Blah Blah Van Deimen's Land Blah Blah Blah Built by convict labor in the 1800's Blah Blah Blah Destroyed by fire Blah Blah Blah.
Now that is a bit oversimplified but I love it when she let's her sarcastic side out.
Some notes on the ocean water. it is usually a bit choppy or very deep which contributes to the lack of clarity you might expect when you visit. This isn't the Bahamas. However on a nice day the water will rival anything the Bahamas has to offer. The problem is it only lasts a short time. Tasmania is surrounded by the South Sea which is a vicious section of water. Calm and serene it is not. Now imagine being some 15 year old convict stuck below deck in irons with cold antarctic water seeping in and rough seas. Maybe next time you won't steal that coat just because your freezing to death in the middle of winter in the cesspool that was London at the time.

Well the adventure in Tassie is coming to an end.
I head home in the morning. I could easily stay hear another 2 months and have a
different adventure everyday. Even if I went back to some of the places I have
already been.
Some notes on being a husband. Your job is that of scapegoat. It's your fault no
matter what. Even if you are right. Truth and justice have no place in a
marriage. You can be right or you can be married.
Yes, for men this is a huge blow to our ego. it is tough for us as creatures of
logic to accept this. If you want to stay married swallow your pride and
remember the wisest saying of all. "And this to shall pass."
Why mention this when describing my trip to Tassie. It is prep for what is
coming. I have learned I can break the Internet even if I am nowhere near the
computer. The car battery dies because I did or did not do anything to the car.
I could even be the sole responsibility for global warming. But I am still
married and that is what matters. (Yes, there is some sarcasm in there)
We turned in the rental car yesterday with no damage and a full tank of gas.
Our last trip is a boat trip around adventure bay in Bruny Island. I save the
best for last. Now you have to meet the bus that takes you to Bruny Island at
the Visitor Center at 7:50 am. Since we no longer have the car we will walk over.
It's not far and we have walked it before. But the walk is about 15 minutes.
Now my wife is wonderfully organized. She sets aside the money for each event
separately. It at times seems almost anal..... Okay it is, but I just had a trip
to Tassie without going into debt. So she can manage the money whatever way she
Now we get up initially at 5:30 because the lorikeets are awake and my wife
wakes up and is convinced we have overslept. I look at the clock and mourn the
half hour of sleep I was still due and will never get.
But at 6am we are up and getting ready. Shower, dress, breakfast, and all the
usual morning routine to get ourselves ready to go to the location. It is a
a quarter past seven, right on time. I ask is everything ready and we go.
Now we get to the bus station and meet with the tour captain and get signed in.
I then ask my wonderful wife whom I love very much and is not allowed to kill
me. If she has brought the money for the trip which is getting ready to leave.
In the movies this part is refereed to as dead silence.
My wife has left the money on the counter in the hotel room. Now I don't freak
out. I still have my credit card and all she has to do is pay back the credit
card when we get home(see this is why I could never be a complete simple living
type, credit cards are useful on occasion). Now I mentioned I didn't freak out.
My wife has. And it's my fault.
Yup, your faithful poster is 100% completely responsible for all ills in the
world, strike that the universe. Why is this my fault? I rushed her. Yes, the
hour plus we had to get ready this morning wasn't enough. Also I did not
explicitly go though each detail before we left this morning. I should not have
asked "Are you ready?" I should have asked if each piece of clothes was on in a
satisfactory manner, if the teeth were brushed properly, was the morning
consumables adequately digested, and did she remember to secure the funding for
the event.
So I am now getting the silent but not subtle wrath of my wife for again failing
to perform adequately as a husband , excuse me as a human being.
My comment on not having to worry because we have an adequate solution will not
remove the icey cold stares at my tender soul. Even though my solution is
satisfactory it was not the original plan. And after market plans are evil that
do nothing more than support the terrorist, contribute to global warming, and
equate to taking candy from babies.
Men who have been married for a while understand they must endure these moments
of anguish for the few moments of bliss that come between them.
And this bad mood will pass too.
So off we go toward Bruny Island. I will endure the tortures of the Spanish
Inquisition for the first part of the ride over. But I know she will be in a
better mood when the boat ride begins.
The Tassie spirit is that the adventure isn't in the finish but in getting
there. And our ride over was wonderful. We had two Tassie guides who promised to
tell us everything about Tasmania and if they didn't know it, they would make it
up. Sarcasm is an art in Tasmania used liberally and without political
correctness. It was wonderful to be among people who just aren't concerned about
minor details. My Irish background stood out like sore thumb and everyone had
fun with me. It was great. It is funny that I didn't stand out as an American
but as an Irish man.
The Bruny Island is a small island off the southern coast of Tasmania. It has a
population of about 600 many of whom work for the charter or use the island as
home for their fishing job.
The north section of the island has some very nice woodlands and sheep farms.
The south section borders the south seas and is a national park. And is battered
by the weather from the south seas. The further south you go the fewer trees you
will see. More shrubs and mosses in the southern area. But for me that was not
the best part. The incredible rock formations. They are magnificent. When you
view the photos and you realize that your faithful poster has taken over a
hundred pictures of rocks be kind. I realize you cannot go ooh and ahh over each
picture. They will never reflect the details and beauty in them and after the
first twenty or so you will probably get bored. I understand.
The water is clear but very deep so you will not always see the bottom but
watching a sea lion swim under your boat is incredible. If the whales come by it
is a religious experience. The Cromerants use the rock faces as nesting grounds.
The sea lions use them as a way station for those not worthy of a harem on the
beach. Note for the sensitive of smell. Sea lions in zoo smell like rose petals
compared to what you will smell when the wind that smell under your nose.
And it is never appropriate of your wife to comment and ask "What have you been
eating?" She could end up as fish food. But you will still love her.
The rocks, wildlife, and swells and 3 outboard mercury engines make this an E
ticket ride. If you get motion sickness you may want to take something before
you get on the boat. However it is worth it. Even if you turn so green you match
the sea. Well at least it was to me, but I didn't get sick. My twinkle in my eye
of six years did great until we started pulling thirty knots and 8 foot swells
on the ride back following some albatross. Then she just sat there and tapped
her heel on the floor like a low powered chipping hammer. I mentioned we could
go back and smell the sea lions. Yes, revenge is best served cold but since I
can be responsible for all the ills of the universe, I can at least take the
blame for the waste matter of natural sea lions.
The boat ride is 3 hours but you would never notice it unless you are turning
green in which case it may seem like three years. But hey, I was feeling fine.
And no they are not going to cater the boat ride for the squeamish. Simply
because the seas didn't get the note from PC police. When the ride was over I
felt amazed. It was simply an incredible event.
On the ride back they stopped at a lookout point. You have 239 steps to climb to
reach the top. And everyone one of them my wonderful soul mate would mention
that she lives in Florida because it is flat. And that you don't have to do this
in Florida. Now for some reason the tour captain mention there were 238 steps to
the top. Someone on our party counted them and came up with 239. Without
missing a beat out captain said "Well there were 238 last week." The whole group
We stopped at an oyster shack also on the way back to the ferry. You get a dozen
shucked oysters for $10. They don't have cocktail, Tabasco, or any other spicy
sauce as I mentioned before. However these oysters are so good you eat them
plain. Mine didn't last the length of the driveway. I offered the empty shells
to our captain as gratitude for our wonderful adventure. Leave it to the Irish
to offer the scraps as a gift. I thought I was going hurt myself laughing so
hard. An Aussie accent makes it seem so much funnier than my nasty type.
It was a fabulous time.
Now I have to get packed remind my better half to bring the tickets because if
we get stuck here it would be my fault. Yet I am can't find the negative in
getting stuck in Tassie.
27 hours in flying sardine can now that is a test of fortitude.

The status is not quo. The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.

Vegimite is like a jelly spread made of veggies.
Actually it's concentrated yeast extract and two kinds of salt. There're some other things in it but think semi-solid salty black gunk and you'll get the idea. Delicious.
Quote from: Understudy on November 05, 2007, 05:23:07 PM
It isn't horrible. but it is an acquired taste. They usually put it on toast. They have wonderful debates on whether you should put it on thick or thin.
For some reason people often put a smear on a dummy (pacifier) for babies. It's probably why we all grow up thinking it tastes fine.
Quote from: Understudy
Did I mention the seasons are reversed here.
You may have...
The reversed seasons thing drives me nuts some of the time. It's very frustrating reading beekeeping and gardening books which tell you to do things at
the wrong time of year. On the upside, even though I'm living in the southern part of the Australian mainland, it never gets so cold here that the bees wont be active at least a few days a week. Add in with this the number of gums which flower in winter and the many nectar heavy native plants which flower almost continuously and things don't look too bad going into winter.

Toholio, Vegamite sounds like something I'd really like - salty! Hum!
Could you edit your profile and put in your location? That way you won't be hopelessly lost.
Oh, and welcome!
Brendhan, your descriptions of your travels are wonderful - as well as your descriptions of being a husband from the husband's point of view. You are still her knight in shining armor, the armor just needs polishing every once in awhile

Oh Brendan. You make me laugh my guts out!!!! I read and laughed, read and laughed, and thought, hmmmm.....that sounds like just how my Husband feels too.
His name is Someone. And Someone always gets blamed for something that Someone has done!!!! He has known that one for years, hee, hee.
How could you know that everything in the world is your fault? Now you know that one for sure. About the money that your wife forgot to bring. Of course that was your fault, you didn't ask her if she had everything under control. Heee, heee.
Men do have the oddest roles in this life of the woman, now don't they.
Kidding aside. You have created the most beautiful reading in the morning, the accounting of your travels on your vacation. Thank you for taking the time and you have probably made many of us laugh our guts out, what more better way to start a day. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, safe trip home. Cindi
There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold. The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
by Matt Davis (RSS feed) on Feb 28th, 2013 at 5:00PM
During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we. We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is... Read More

Extraordinarily Longer Thigh High
If you've had trouble looking for a true thigh high, these may be your best bet yet! We've taken our Extraordinary Thigh High socks and add several more inches, so now they go to the tippy tops of most legs and are comfortably and reliably over the knee on longer and curvier legs. Made in the USA
Approximately 30 inches from heel to cuff, unstretched. Calf easily stretches to 24 inches around. Tops stretched easily up to 27 inches around for us. Feet will fit women's US shoe sizes 7 - 14, men's 5 - 12.
These are being made a little differently than previously, so they are sometimes shorter than they used to be when laid out flat. But don't worry, they're still just as long once you put them on!
Additional Info: Also available in stripes !
Fiber Content: 85% regenerated cotton/acrylic/polyester, 10% nylon, 5% spandex.
Machine wash in cool to cold water, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Label: Dreamer Socks
Do you know when you will be getting another shipment of black ones in? I'd really like to order a pair before my trip in 3 weeks...
Will these be available in classic (aka rainbow) tie-dye any time soon? The Extraordinary ones are still too narrow for my thunderous thighs, and I would LOVE a tie-dyed pair.
Will these tights be available in Dark Brown and Charcoal??? I NEED them!!!
Hi, I was wondering if you will get more extraordinarily black longer thigh highs or when you will receive them. I am very interested in purchasing a pair. Thank you very much... Dominique
Has the shorter length issue been corrected yet? I have a 36" inseam and I'm holding out for when they go back to 33". Could you let me know when you have those in, please? Thanks!
Hi! When do you expect to have these thigh-high's in the correct length of 33" in again as the 30" is too short. Thank you.
Do you guys happen to know when you will be back in stock with black?
Hello! I would like to be notified when the true extraordinarily longer socks are back in stock, please. :) Particularly interested in the spice colour.
Today I need to feel like a superhero... I like wearing fun socks because they're kind of a secret costume. Thanks, Sock Dreams!

Oeuf Perch Bunk Bed
Finally, the bunk bed moves into the 21st century! Super sleek and stylish, this updated bunk bed fits into any contemporary decor. It's streamlined enough to leave plenty of floor space, and low enough to be safe for kids 6 and up. It's also versatile: use it as a traditional bunk, or separate it into a loft bed plus a standalone twin.
Why it's a giggle pick We're thrilled to see bunk beds that look modern and aren't cumbersome.See Full Details
Meets the following giggle Criteria:
MULTI-USE: versatile & long-lasting
INNOVATIVE: smart products that do more
SPACE-SAVING: compact & easy to store
RESPONSIBLE: eco-friendly or locally produced
the giggle criteria: We've narrowed down the choices by picking only the best products out there. In other words: if we sell it, we love it, and we think you will, too! Each year, we talk to tons of parents to find out what's most important to them when it comes to baby and kids products. The result? Every product we offer goes through a rigorous selection process and must meet at least three of the following criteria to be included in our assortment:
MaterialMade from Baltic birch plywood and low emission E1 certified MDF
Dimensions42 1/4" W x 77 7/8" L x 62" H
AgeAges 6 & Up for top bunk
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by giggle2013 Elegant, sturdy Aesthetically beautiful bed. Very sturdy. White glove service to assemble this is a must. July 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Love our Perch!! Just recently purchased the Perch Bunk Bed in Walnut. I'm 7 months pregnant with our 2nd child. Our 21 month old still sleeps in his Oeuf Sparrow Crib at night but we're slowly transitioning him to the lower bunk of the Perch for his naps. I'm hoping to have him sleeping full-time in the lower bunk before the baby is born. That way, we won't have a need for a 2nd crib. We decided on the Perch for the following reasons: -great price point for the quality and design -beautifully matches the Walnut Sparrow Crib -overall size works well in our small 2 bedroom house -accessories; security rail for lower bunk (available now) and play tent for loft configuration (coming soon) Awesome quality bunk at a great price!!

Q:What type of matress should i get for lower bunk? Regular twin? How about for the top bunk?
A:Both upper and lower bunks take a standard twin mattress (not included) -- use a top bunk mattress no more than 8" thick and a lower bunk mattress between 5-8" deep when using the guard rail.
giggle's recommends the following twin mattresses:
--Nook Pebble Twin Mattress: Nook's patented fabic technologies create wipeable and microbe resistant surfaces on both the Pebble Mattress and Pebble Wrap, perfect for transitioning from the crib to a bigger bed!
--giggle Better Basics Organic 2-in-1 Twin Mattress: Made for giggle Better Basics by Naturepedic (a name parents and doctors have trusted for years), this is one twin mattress that has it all: quality, long-lasting value, and healthy manufacturing.

Squeaking problems?
Q:Hi - am very interested in this bed, but read a review on another site that the bed squeaks very loudly when children move on it or when parent sings to child and then gets up - loud enough to disturb sleep. Oeuf was supposedly working on fixing this - am wondering whether they have before deciding on whether to purchase. Thanks!

A:From giggle customer experience we know that Oeuf's Perch Bunk Bed is squeak-free! As with any piece of furniture (especially cribs, beds, and chairs where there's lots of movement!) that's assembled with screws, you'll want to make sure you're regularly tightening all the hardware and checking all the connection points. This not only ensures your furniture is safe for you and your family, but it's a guarantee for being squeak-free!
