- White Balance: A History of Video
- 2013-15, Robin Deacon, USA, ca. 60 min
Acclaimed artist and filmmaker Robin Deacon presents a stirring performance on the history and aesthetics of video. The title "White Balance" refers to the process by which a video camera is adjusted to account for differences in light. For Deacon, this process also suggests video's capability to convey "a truer sense of what is being seen." Using a series of outmoded video cameras and discarded tape formats, Deacon weaves together autobiography, fiction, and old recordings — home movies, artists' tapes, archival TV footage — to explore the ways seeing and remembering may be transformed by the medium used to capture the event. (George William Price)

Los Angeles–based filmmaker Rebecca Baron is known for provocative essay films exploring such far-ranging subjects as Britain's Mass Observation movement, 19th-century Arctic exploration, and the role of recording technologies in shaping our understanding of the world around us. Her latest film, DETOUR DE FORCE, introduces viewers to the incredible world of "thoughtographer" Ted Serios — a Chicago bellhop who, in the mid-1960s, produced hundreds of Polaroid images through sheer force of mind. Baron screens the film with a selection of works from LOSSLESS (2008, with Douglas Goodwin), a series of digital interventions — data compression, code removal — into video copies of classic American films with fascinating results. Presented in collaboration with the Video Data Bank. (Amy Beste)
John Gerrard: Networks and Power
John Gerrard in person!
- John Gerrard:
- Networks and Power
- 2009-15, John Gerrard, China/Norway/US, ca. 60 min.
The works of John Gerrard (MFA 2000) often take shape as large-scale projections of meticulously crafted virtual worlds, astonishing in their scope and execution. Driven by sophisticated military modeling and video game software, they recreate the outposts of human industry — a 19th-century paper mill in Norway, mysterious roadways along China's Silk Road, a solar power plant in Nevada, factory farms in Oklahoma — to address the networks of energy and power that have fueled modern life. Gerrard presents five recent interrelated projects — including SOLAR RESERVE (TONOPAH, NEVADA) (2014), EXERCISE (DUNHUANG) (2014), and his latest work-in-progress FARM (PRYOR CREEK) — and discusses the themes and technology that have informed his practice.

the hope on weather/wind is that if you do say ten trials in a row (alternating skeg or not) that the weather changes happen gradually and so you still see a trend. Far from perfect of course.

2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsPrice, dependibility (thus far and from reviews I've seen), space, comfort ConsTurning radius, rear visibility (the rear deck and trunk are too high, plus there is a rear window tail light obstructing the view more)
Nice Car — Car has standard Vulcan 3.0L V6... no frills, but gets the job done. Decent mpg, usually averaging 26 combined. Leather interior which is nice, and comfortable, though a bit slippery. Handles pretty well (though I haven't REALLY put it to the test as I did with my old Beretta). No real problems with the car other than the left rear power window motor not working (was this way when I bought it used) and a starter motor went bad. Neither of those problems are incredbily expensive or difficult to fix though. Overall I like this car and am very pleased in purchasing it, especially considering what I paid ($2500). The thing I like the least is that it doesn't turn well... a TERRIBLE radius... the worst out of any car I've driven. Though, I must say, I have driven newer models (of the same platform and design) and the problem was solved. Primary Use: Commuting to work

2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsDurability ConsUninspiring looks and performance
A Great Car That Was Terminated Too Soon... — The Taurus was my first car, a little over a year after I started driving I was in an accident in which another person pushed me off the road up an embankment airborne into a tree. As you can see from the pictures the car was an utter mess, the officer and paramedics said that if I had been in any other car other than a Taurus they don't know if I would have lived. My accident proves that the Ford Taurus is one hell of a safe car. Performance --> I can't complain, it wasn't going to set any land speed records, or impress anyone but it got the job done. Build Quality --> The car was as solid as a rock, it could take anything thrown at it and it would have no issues. Appearance --> What can I say, it was pretty bland but that is okay it could have been hideous like a Cavalier or something, but it wasn't. Cost of Ownership --> It got about 33 mpg Hwy and about 25 mpg city. Maintenance wise there was no issues what so ever. Fun Factor --> What fun factor? Overall --> I was pleased with my first car as it was a safe and reliable ride. |
2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsGreat Highway commuting car, reliable with a low cost of ownership, a safe easy to drive car with good gas mileage ConsAir-conditioning
An American Ford Classic — Our wonderful Ford Taurus--over 10 years old and still enjoyable to drive and ride in. Our modern version of the Model T. We have driven this car as a family car, as a car for our college age son at school, and now as a second car. It has never disappointed us. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2000 Ford Taurus SES
ProsSold!Yippee actually, I miss it! Safe, reliable and looks like a jag Consnone
Looks Like A Jag, Doors Lock Automatically, Rides Smooth! — I have had this car for almost 6 years,normally,I change cars every 2 to 3 years. It feels very safe and powerful. Accelerates easily going up hills on freeway/SF hills. The repairs have been minimal, brakes, tires, regular maintenance. It looks like a jag and white is one of the easiest to see, The interior is in great condition. I love the vehicle, its reliability, looks good and cost to maintain is minimal. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsNice car to drive and safe and reliable and dependable! Plus one of Fords BEST SELLING CARS EVER! ConsNone! Only if you do not like Ford products or are against them! But nothing else!
Great Car For The Money Cheap To Insure, Fix And Maintain And Easy On The Budget/wallet! — I love this car! This used to be my dads commuter car for 6/12 years! We bought this car used in the fall of 2003 from a new and used car dealership! This car replaced our 1994 Buick Lesabre which had 99,00 Miles when we were selling it and then sold it! When we got it it had only 22,000 Miles Now it has 136,00 Miles and is starting to show its age! But it is still a great car! I am now out of school and will be driving this car where ever I need to go! It needs some work on it including mechanical work and some body and frame work because the front passenger door does not close/seal very good at the top because my dad accidently hit a fire hydrant on a very stormy night on a very dark road which was very narrow! But overall it has been a great car and would like to fix the car up and fix the things that need to be fixed once I get a job with very good pay and salary i plan to fix it up! I did use this car to go to work at Jewel for 4 years until leaving to go to school! It was used by my dad for commuting to work for and hour 5 days a week for 6 years going on 7! But then after he retired it has been sitting in the driveway and he has used it for hauling wood, stones, concrete, bags of mulch and dirt! I do like the car a lot but I think once I save enough money and start a job with really good pay and salary I will get rid of this car or keep it and buy a new car! I want something else that has more options and more features something more fancier and nicer! Something we call an 'Upgrade" folks! I am hoping to get a BMW! I would like a BMW because I have always wanted one! that would be great! I may downsize from a mid sized to executive compact or stay Mid sized! Something like a BMW 3 Series 335Xi X drive sedan or maybe BMW 535Xi sedan! We will see what my money can buy when the time comes to get a new car! The car was formerly owned by someone who worked for the Government which the car came from Minnesota and has one of those plug in engine block heaters because Minnesota get really cold during the winter just like the rest of the Midwest and northern east coast like New York Philidalphia and Boston! I am wondering who owned this car if they worked for the Government? Would like to find out and would be fun to! My guess would be someone with the law like FBI, or CIA, Police Crime scene investigation, drug busts, Sheriff norcotics unit? Who knows? The car is Vibrant White with Dark Charcoal Cloth interior which makes it very nice and the white with charcoal cloth interior goes together! The engine is a 3.0 liter V6 Vulcan and has 155 Horsepower which is OK but not the best but the car gets me from point a to point b with no problems and has pretty good pick up on the highway and when passing! The car looks like a rental car and really has nothing exciting in it except power windows, power locks, keyless entry, Dual airbags, ABS or Power brakes don't know which one guessing ABS, AM/FM Stereo with cassette, rear folding seats center console and that is pretty much it! Large trunk! But I will try to keep it for as long as I can or until I get a job and can afford that BMW I have always wanted! But it has never let me down well not yet at least and it has been very reliable and dependable and has gotten me to where I needed to go in life! It has been by far the BEST Ford product I have ever owned and sure hope to own the new 2010 Ford Taurus and own the SHO which I have heard is outstanding! Ford is really churning out some Great and amazing products these days! Even before they were great as well! I sure hope everyone likes what I wrote about my Taurus and Thanks for reading it and hit me up if you have any questions or Comments! Thanks! Primary Use: Family transportation |
2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsAMERICAN, Big, Good Engine, Descent Looking ConsInterior "Leather" Falling Off, Door Locks Don't All Work
Not Too Bad — Performance - slow acceleration, long braking distance, handles well in snow and bad weather Build Quality - My particular car is in need of minor repairs (cosmetic), no engine problems at all, transmission problems Appearance - Descent looking car, roomy exterior and plenty of leg room in the back Cost - 16 gallon tank, and about 200 - 300 miles per tank . . . you do the math at today's prices Fun - its only fun if you love to drive and don't have any other choice |
2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsLots of room, ac, power locks and windows, cd and tape player, 4 door ConsIts green....not my favorite color!
It's Ok... — Not my first choice in a car. It was my mom's and she gave it to me when she bought her new car. It's pretty comfy if you have kids and stuff, nice mid-size car, good size back seat and front seat. Plenty of room for me and my sisters crap in the trunk! We haven't had any problems out of it and we've had it for a while, so I guess it's a pretty good car. |
2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsComfortable ride, nice looking Consseemed to wear out brake pads quickly
A Good Family Car — This car is ideal for families. Roomy without being too big. Smooth ride, good gas mileage. Overall a good dependable car. Only repairs were to brake pads, and routine maintenance. Compares to the Chevy Impala in cost and value. Thank you Primary Use: Family transportation |
2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsThe car runs great and get good gas milage ConsThe power steering pump keeps making noise
This Car Has Been Good To Me — I bought the car used from a from a friend in 2003 and have had no problems with it till now. The gas mileage is good for a older car. Everything works the ac, power windows, the radio and the power mirrors. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2000 Ford Taurus SE
ProsSeats 6 people. ConsAlot of maint.
Poor/fair — Its alright of a car. 18mpg kinda sucks though. And the way they designed the brakes isnt all that great, as well as the electrical system, sometimes my windows wont work... but overall its an OK car. I still have some work j gotta do on it. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Upcoming Shows
The origin of The Funk Children was a scene straight out of
The Blues Brothers movie. A tavern-owner in Prarieville,
Louisiana, wanted to hire Ernest Scott for a special occasion,
and calls were made to form a band. All of the players were
prominent musicians; they all knew each other and had played
with each other in the past. But they had never played
together as a group.
Each player arrived with some sense of trepidation. The
building was nondescript and unmarked, and none of the
players were sure they had arrived at the right venue. They
set up their gear in a corner and patched together a
rudimentary public address system. The patrons of the
establishment watched politely.
The magic began with an impromptu sound check. One of the
players struck a single chord, and the band began to play. The
distinctive rhythmic chemistry of the players was immediately
apparent. The band played that single chord for several
minutes. The patrons took notice. The players took notice as
well—each amazed by how easily the music had come and by
how unique it sounded.
The show was a foregone conclusion. The band fell naturally
together into a boiling cauldron of funk topped by the
legendary, incendiary vocals of Ernest Scott. The place came
unglued; the patrons danced on tabletops and roared their
approval after each song. Ernest Scott and The Funk Children
had arrived.
This group of musicians have been playing music for a number
of years. Their talent will surely amaze you. If you are looking
for a party or just ready to sit back, relax and enjoy some
GOOD music, you've got to check these guys out! And you
MUST have on your dancing shoes, because once the music
starts, you won't be able to sit down.
This band has a outstanding chemistry with each other that
helps bring out the best sounds of Motown and some good Old
Soul Music. You will hear tunes from Otis Redding, Marvin
Gaye, Temptations, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Wilson Pickett,
James Brown and many more.
We are here for any occasion that you are celebrating.
Nothing is too big or too small! If you are really wanting to
have a good time and party, call on us!!

I'm a huge fan of soccer (or non-American football) and this week kicks off the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. As I've been chatting with friends internationally and reading up on preparations, there has been interesting news about some of the challenges the host country is facing from a healthcare perspective. Apparently the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has very specific requirements of the host country and cities where the matches are played. One guideline requires them to keep hospital wards half empty, which may force some hospitals to transfer longer term patients elsewhere during this period. Care for local patients during this World Cup playing time will be different for many reasons, let alone tourists. Already, local patients seeking specialty care have noticed a sharp decline in their ability to get referrals to specialists. Local medical professionals have expressed concern that if a major medical emergency occurs during the World Cup (which is expected to draw more than 300,000 fans), the country's hospitals may not be able to handle it. "Hospital disaster plans are actually a disaster," one official told reporters back in April . More recently, another local health official said that an emergency that results in more than 200 injured patients would be "a major challenge" for local hospitals. To help address some of the potential infrastructure concerns, hospitals have been asked to not approve staff leave during this period. Pre-existing staff shortages (such as among nurses) will likely put additional pressure on the workforce already in place. At some hospitals, nurses are being asked to work double shifts on days when games will be played locally. The medical leadership remains committed to ensure that healthcare is effectively delivered to both local residents and World Cup participants/fans during the event; however, it's clear that doing so will be a challenge for the public health system. All of these preparations and challenges remind me of what we have established in American Hospitals for emergency preparedness that have repeatedly been tested over the past several years (most recently with the H1N1 epidemic). While I believe they have these plans in place as well in South Africa, I also believe they are impacted further by a "crumbling" public hospital infrastructure that has been widely reported upon. I guess this will be a good measure of their capabilities to test out their "emergency plans" and recognize the need to invest in their infrastructure further. I look forward to watching not only the matches, but also how the host cities are able to respond to the healthcare needs of their communities and visitors in the next several weeks.

Stand In Groom by Suzanne Brockmann is $1.99 right now. This is a contemporary romance reissue – it's a romantic suspense mixed with marriage of convenience plotline from the Bantam Loveswept line. It was originally published in 1997. I love reading older books from authors whose careers have continued to grow, especially when they were writing in the category format.
He was tall, dark, and just dangerous enough to be a woman's dream cometrue… Did heroes always come this big and sexy? Chelsea Spencer wondered as JohnnyAnziano tackled the muggers who'd stolen her purse! She wasn't used to beingrescued, at least not by a gorgeous stranger whose smile was pure temptation.Could this intriguing mystery man help her pull off a risky charade, or wouldsharing close quarters with a handsome rebel start a fire she couldn'tcontrol?
Irresistibly seductive and utterly romantic, Suzanne Brockmann's spirited romptakes a mismatched pair of lovers on a roller-coaster ride with destiny! She'doffered him a deal he couldn't refuse, a chance for a brand-new start, butcould he make her believe her heart was the prize he'd vowed to win?

The Wager by Rachel Van Dyken just came out on 1 October and is .99c right now. There are SO many glowing reviews behind this book. Have you read it?
What is it about a junior-high crush that can send an otherwise intelligent woman into a tailspin? TV reporter Char Lynn wishes she knew. Jake Titus is too rich, too handsome, too arrogant: a trifecta that once lured Char into the best night-and worst morning-after-of her life. Now they've been thrown together in a wedding party. It's awkward, but survivable . . . until Jake stops acting like a jerk, and starts acting like the man she'd always hoped he could be.
If watching your brother marry your best friend is weird, being attracted to your best friend's other best friend is downright bizarre. Unfortunately for Jake, Char hasn't forgotten how he once tossed her aside. Worse still, Jake's already-nutty grandma is even crazier about Char. Cue meet-cute shenanigans and all manner of meddling, and somehow, Jake's falling. For Char.
Now all he has to do is make her believe it . . .

Moonlight Masquerade is an inspirational historical fiction romance/mystery – with a really gorgeous cover, too. It's the Kindle Daily Deal but the $2.99 price has been matched elsewhere – yay! It has a 3.71-star review average.
Lady Celine Wexham seems the model British subject. French by birth but enjoying life in 1813 as a widowed English countess, she is in the unique position of being able to help those in need–or to spy for the notorious Napoleon Bonaparte.
When Rees Phillips of the British Foreign Office is sent to pose as the countess's butler and discover where her true loyalties lie, he is confident he will uncover the truth.
But the longer he is in her fashionable townhouse in London's West End, the more his staunch loyalty to the Crown begins to waver as he falls under Lady Wexham's spell. Will he find the proof he needs? And if she is a spy after all, will he do the right thing?

Loving a Lost Lord by Mary Jo Putney is $1.99 right now. It has mostly 3- and 4-star reviews, but it has everything I like in historicals, too: shipwrecks! Groups of male friends with a Special Group Name who are all sequel bait! Plus amnesia!
In the first of a dazzling series, Mary Jo Putney introduces the Lost Lords–maverick childhood friends with a flair for defying convention. Each is about to discover the woman who is his perfect match–but perfection doesn't come easily, even for the noble Duke of Ashton. . . Battered by the sea, Adam remembers nothing of his past, his ducal rank, nor of the shipwreck that almost claimed his life. However, he's delighted to hear that the golden-haired vision tending his wounds is his wife. Mariah's name and face may not be familiar, but her touch, her warmth, feel deliciously right. . .
When Mariah Clarke prayed for a way to deter a bullying suitor, she didn't imagine she'd find the answer washed ashore on a desolate beach. Convincing Adam that he is her husband is surprisingly easy. Resisting the temptation to act his wife, in every way, will prove anything but. And now a passion begun in fantasy has become dangerously real–and completely irresistible. . .

VA doesn't have The Castle Doctrine, we have Common Law which is better.
This is a discussion on Carrying in Virginia and N.C. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; VA doesn't have The Castle Doctrine, we have Common Law which is better....
VA doesn't have The Castle Doctrine, we have Common Law which is better.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government".
Patrick Henry
I am kind of lost here... how is someone on this or any other site suppose to tell you haw cops feel about someone carrying a gun. You are asking people to make a judgment call on people they don't know.
Cops are there to enforce the law; I don't think the vast majority of them see CCer's as bad guys unless you are breaking the law
As a LEO in va I am usually thankful when some1 informs me that they are CC. it just depends on how you tell me. Its never a good idea to crack your window and yell "I have a gun!" or try to quickly unload it while I am walking up to the car. if you keep both your gun and registration in your glove box please tell us first before opening and reaching in!! I know most on this forum are smarter than this, but it actually does happen often and is likely why some officers are nervous around concealed firearms. Suffolk Officers that I have encountered have been very polite and professional.
Correct. You do not have to retreat in Va. You may use all levels of force, up to and including deadly force to protect your life or the life of another innocent person. You must be somewhere that you are legally allowed to be, and not be the person who caused the initial problem.
Based on case law, the use of lethal force in VA is a last resort, no other choice situation. If you had the opportunity to retreat and you chose not to, you wil face a difficult legal battle. Not to say impossible, but according to the local DA that sent me case law, there are several criteria that they look for in a justified lethal force defense situation:
1) you did not contribute to or escalate the situation
2) you expressed your desire for peace
3) you retreated as far as reasonably possible
4) the level of force was commensurate to the level of threat
Each situation will dictate what was reasonable and what level of force is commensurate to the level of threat. The bottom line as I was told is that you have to have had no other choice. This could have changed in the last 2 years since I received that e-mail from our local DA. It may or may not be codified law such as "duty to retreat" or "stand your ground", but this is essentially what the prosecuting attorney is going to try to determine in a situation. Back in the day, NC has some strange laws (which may have change now too). When I defended myself from 2 drunk ome invaders at the age of 15, I was told by police that if I had shot them while in the process of entering than I was ok, but once all the way inside the criteria was somewhat different. Made no sense to me, I was just glad I wasn't riding in the back of a police car. The problem is the laws and subtle nuances of the laws change way too often.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
I am a LEO in North Carolina and was previously an LEO in Virginia for ten years. I'm from NC and eventually decided to move back here. Generally speaking cops in both states have no problems with CHP holders or legal CCW in general. There are always a few exceptions of course. I'm not that far from Durham, and Durham PD has kind of a bad rep when it comes to dealing with CHP holders, but even there I suspect that it is a small minority of officers causing the rep (they are just a bigger small minority than the small minority at most departments). Since NC started recognizing all other state permits in December at least now no one has to worry about remembering which states' permits are good in NC. However, the law is still so new that some LEOs might not know about it yet. I expect it will be covered in our in-service training this year, but that doesn't happen at my department until October.
Up until December 2011 this was still true. Basically, the law expressly said you could use deadly force to prevent a forcible entry into your home, but once entry was made the statute was mute. Therefore, we had to rely on common law at that point which basically requires that the person present an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. In December 2011 our (very broad and well written) Castle Doctrine law went into effect. Now one can use deadly force inside as well (and also in one's business or vehicle) unless the person the force is used against is clearly not presenting a threat (like lying face down on the floor or running away). NC gun laws in general got a lot better in Dec. 2011. Now we just need to get restaurant carry passed and a couple of other tweaks and we might be as good as Virginia.
"The Engine could still smile...it seemed to scare them" -Felix
I'm a retired Raleigh officer and our crime "cesspool" areas are no different than any other city or town anywhere except they're bigger. Our officers are gun friendly and as long as someone is following the law there will be no problems. Just stay out of the cesspools. Unless you have experience to the contrary in Raleigh please don't lump us in with everyone else.
I moved from NC a couple of years ago, but when I left, it was illegal to carry in any place that charged admission (sporting events, movies, concerts, etc). (My apologies if this was mentioned earlier. I didn't read the entire thread.)
Edit: I lived in Winston-Salem, and I didn't think it was a cess pool of crime. However, I lived in Birmingham before, so maybe I just have a high crime tolerance. At least I was never assaulted in W-S.

A 65-year-old woman had a stroke while driving in the 10700 block of West North Avenue on Oct. 22, causing her car to crash into a fire hydrant, according to a Wauwatosa police report. She died while receiving medical attention shortly afterward.
Also in the report:
A man who was behind her in traffic found her inside the car, with the doors locked and engine revving. He called 911. The woman briefly regained consciousness, speaking with police officers, but she had no pulse when paramedics arrived.
She was taken to Froedtert Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Thinking of Moving to Darien,CT? Everything You'll Need to Know.
When prospective Darien homeowners begin their search online, there is no shortage of information on homes for sale. There are multiple websites that feature bits and pieces about the experience of living here. However, there really hasn't been a comprehensive publication that functioned as a guide for potential newcomers; one that offers in print format the true flavor of living in our town. Until now. In conjunction with Moffley Media, the Darien Board of Realtors (of which I'm Treasurer incidentally), has produced a...Continue Reading!

The early risers get the best spaces but the problem is that we are running out of spaces and logical ways to pay for them. For whatever reason, large numbers of past commuters...Continue Reading!
Darien Real Estate,So Hot Yet So Cool, June 2014
How do I describe the doings in Darien Ct real estate this year so far? Well first, the season ,as we all know was severely delayed to to severely lousy weather,and a late spring that still is grudging. Repairs needed from ice dams, slowly melting snow and dazed homeowners kept things in a deep freeze well into April, 2014. Then came the thaw, or should I say partial thaw. Homes were listed and anything with a working front door and a price tag...Continue Reading!
385 Middlesex Road, New Listing, Darien CT,Real Estate
Back "in the day" I used to post my favorite "House of the Week" on this blog but as usual things have gotten complicated. Legally, I am not allowed to post any information much less a review of any other agents' listings. It is considered advertising and one agent does not have the right to advertise another's listing without expressed permission. Since no one would grant me permission to write an unbiased review of a home, there is no sense to...Continue Reading!
