You've seen the poster, watched the teaser videos and heard the chit chat, and you're not mistaken, the VFX Festival is very much on the horizon. In January 2015 we'll be hitting London's Leicester Square armed with some of the most talented VFX artists on the planet, and I thought I'd put together a brief rundown of what's in store, for those who haven't had a chance to check out our brand new festival site yet.
Escape Alumni Summer Party: An evening with recruiters!
Last Thursday evening we hosted a recruitment event in honour of our Alumni from the last two years. The night was dedicated to celebrating their work in VFX so far, as well as a networking opportunity with recruiters from the leading VFX facilities in London. We were joined by Framestore, MPC, The Mill, Jellyfish Pictures, Milk VFX, Molinare, Rushes and ILM (Industrial Light and Magic).
Superbowl Commercials - VFX wins!
I have intentionally waited until the afternoon to post this blog, so that all of you UK based sports fans that actually stayed awake to watch the coverage of the Superbowl last night, are now wide awake! So if you've finished your belated breakfast and have washed the beer stains out of your team jersey, then please cast your mind back to approximately 16 hours ago.
How's your artistic vision?
2D whiz Simon Richardson gave us a window of time recently to get our hands in his brain, and find out exactly what it takes to be a compositor. This unsung art form is one of the most important in VFX and more often than not, a viewer will have been fooled by the artistry of a compositor before any acting in a scene has even happened.
Free webinar: The Art and Science of Visual Effects
What's the secret behind breath-taking visual effects? There are lots of elements we need to consider before answering this question – such as modelling, texturing and lighting your scene - but a pivotal point in the process of bringing a computer generated image to life, is rendering. And one man who has dedicated a great many hours into this area is The Mill's Head of Maya Development, Suraj Harrington-Odedra.
The 2013 BFX Competition Awards Ceremony
Last Friday we took a train south to Bournemouth for the 2013 BFX awards ceremony, which was a truly wonderful event. Awarding and celebrating emerging talent from eleven UK universities, the teams who took part in this competition impressed us mightily.
Your Career in VFX: Free webinar on securing your first job in the industry
Get ahead with tips from our webinar with The Mill's Thomas Knight. For the vast majority of people, making the jump from training in your chosen field to actually working in it can be a daunting one to make, and this is no less true in the competitive world of VFX. Once you've got the skills, how do you stand out from the crowd and launch your career as a VFX artist?
Fancy a treat?
So last week we welcomed Steve Begg as our guest speaker to our Open Day and, as usual, it was a huge success.
There's gnome place like home...
So last night, there I was, enjoying having the flat to myself, only half watching a re-run of Grand Designs when the ad break came on and something made me sit up and take notice of the tv screen…
Escapee work on IKEA 'Ad of the day'
In this new Ad from IKEA, we see a gang of garden gnomes waging war against an influx of new modern furniture, appearing on their turf. Watch as the battle ensues and mass gnomes are killed in action, and after you've seen it, take a second to ponder how it was created!
NEW Webinar: Painting a Picture of Compositing
To get a real good grasp of compositing and the discipline that surrounds it, there's no better way than seeing the process in action for yourself. And if this is something that sounds right up your street, the only other thing to add is that your guide for this comp session is none other than NUKE devout, Simon Richardson.
London's VFX Artists become Superheroes!
VFX fans and readers of WIRED magazine will have noticed a special feature in this month's edition, as Soho's VFX teams are made into super heroes by, well, themselves.
November's Free Tutorial: Confessions of a Junior Compositor
How does someone go about getting a Junior Compositor role at an international VFX studio like The Mill? Well in this month's tutorial Simon Richardson reveals how it all started for him. From experimenting with Adobe's After Effects at University, Simon was introduced to basic keying techniques in a layer based system. And this was when the seed was planted that would flourish into him conquering NUKE, and working at one of the top VFX studios in the world.
"City of Possibilities" A stunning commercial from The Mill
The Mill recently completed a commercial for US client Norfolk Southern, showcasing the transformative power of freight shipping. Being a rather stunning piece of work, you may be interested to know that this project was rendered primarily using Mental Ray, taking advantage of the newish unified sampling feature.
VFX for Production Course… 8 Weeks In!
As a design graduate with 7 years' experience working within design departments in architecture and retail I spent what time I could learning how to model and animate to create short sequences influenced mainly by films I like. Although fun, learning that way means progress is very slow as is the rate of improvement - at least in my case anyway. I wanted to get better quicker and that's why I signed up for the VFX Production course.
Glowfrog At The VFX Festival
As you probably know Escape Studios organised and hosted the UK's first VFX Festival last week with events, seminars and master classes taking place across London. The VFX Festival went down an absolute storm and was a fantastic platform to demonstrate the success of the UK's ever-expanding visual effects industry.
We'll have a Heineken; shaken, not stirred
Riding on the excitement of the new Bond film, Skyfall, Heineken has a James Bond themed ad, featuring Daniel Craig. The VFX for the ad were done by none other than our good friends at The Mill, and the global TV and digital campaign will be activated across 32 markets and involves the participation of the film's stars, Daniel Craig and the latest Bond girl, Bérénice Marlohe.
Escape Studios launch the VFX festival with star studded panel of industry experts.
Last Thursday, Escape Studios launched the UK's first VFX Festival with an exclusive panel debate made up of the industry's top flag bearers!

Yoga and Exercise Ease Bipolar Symptoms
Just as it takes a village to educate a child, the Western medical community is finding that it takes a mix of treatment approaches to deal with complex mental health problems. For example, alternative treatments are gaining medical respect as part of overall treatment plans for bipolar disorder. Sometimes called manic-depressive disorder, this illness is characterized by mood swings that range from low down depression to sky high mania. In the depressed mode, there is sense of hopelessness, sadness and lethargy. When the mood shifts, there can be euphoria with wild energy bursts. Mood swings can happen every few months or nearly daily.
Although bipolar disorder is a disruptive, long-term condition, it can be treated with medications, psychological therapies and hospitalization. More and more, lifestyle changes and alternative therapies are being suggested by medical institutions, such as the Mayo Clinic, as potentially effective additions to the overall bipolar treatment regime.
Here are some of the alternative approaches being recognized by renowned medical authorities:
- Regular exercise: Moderate, regular exercise helps stabilize moods. Working out releases endorphins that make patients feel good, help them sleep and offer many other benefits.
- Yoga: This ancient practice seems to help ease the depressive stage and reduce the frequency of mood swings.
- Massage therapy: Anxiety and stress aggravate bipolar symptoms. Massage helps to release hormones that aid the body in coping with stress and social difficulties.
- Acupuncture: This venerable Chinese practice of inserting tiny needles into the skin has achieved some notable success in relieving depression. A study published in the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences reports that acupuncture increases the nighttime release of melatonin, a natural substance that reduces insomnia and anxiety. Getting a proper amount of rest is an important part of managing moods.
Although the Mayo Clinic and other organizations say that these approaches are benign and worth a try, they do point out that research on their effects on bipolar symptoms is lacking depth with much of the research involving depression. Still, with the life-altering symptoms of bipolar disorder and the side effects of medications, adding some exercise and yoga to a treatment plan is more than worth the consideration.
For more information visit the Mayo Clinic Web site.

New prime minister unlikely to end Pakistan's political scuffles
Raja Pervez Ashraf was selected to be the new Pakistani prime minister today, just three days after his predecessor was ousted by the Supreme Court in an ongoing political struggle.
Islamabad, Pakistan
Pakistan's national assembly selected a new prime minister Friday, just three days after the Pakistani Supreme Court effectively dismissed the previous prime minister. But the election of Raja Pervez Ashraf to fill the prime minister's seat is unlikely to resolve an ongoing political tussle between Pakistan's executive and judicial powers.
The election of Mr. Ashraf, Pakistan's former minister for Information Technology, follows several days of political maneuvering between Pakistan's highest court and its ruling party, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP). On Tuesday, the Supreme Court declared former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani ineligible to hold office due to a prior conviction, dissolving Mr. Gilani's cabinet. The PPP put forward Textile Minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin to replace Gilani, but the courts effectively blocked Mr. Shahabuddin's nomination by issuing an arrest warrant for him.
The motive behind the court's decisions to dismiss Gilani and to issue the warrant for Shahabuddin has divided observers. Some accuse the court of deliberately undermining the democratically elected PPP, and point out that Gilani's dismissal and the warrant for Shahabuddin were issued at the behest of a military-run anti-drug agency, suggesting the quiet intervention of the politically powerful Army. Others say that the court is following through on its constitutional responsibility. Most, however, think the tussle indicates personal vendettas rather than principled stances.

OK, I love garlic, but now I have read in one of the posts that grocery store garlic isn't that good. I've never had any other kind. Is there really that big of a difference in flavors to make it worth spending the money on mail order garlic?
If so....... What are your favorites? Nancy |

If you're the "victim," she says to let your S.O. know -- without blaming or attacking -- how much it hurt your feelings and what the shared viewing time means to you.
3. The Problem: He likes sports, I like crime procedurals.
So he's a sports nut and you watch every SVU, CSI and other acronym on TV. Are you doomed to a life of solo TV viewership?
New Yorker Natalie G. and her boyfriend, Nick, make efforts to watch each other's favorite shows (bridal shows on TLC for her; crime shows and documentaries for him), but the night usually ends with the less-interested party asleep on the couch. Luckily, they've also found a few shows that they both enjoy – like Parks & Recreation and anything with Anthony Bourdain in it – and often build date nights around watching them together.
The Solution: As Natalie's example shows, it's not always best to try and "convert" your guy into loving Orange Is The New Black or have him turn you on to The Goldbergs. There's nothing wrong with maintaining different tastes, and if you can find a few shared shows that you both enjoy -- great!
If not, however, Dr. Sherman says: "This is totally OK. Research shows compatibility isn't what determines happiness." It's not about always finding agreement -- but alignment. In other words, it's about being happy knowing that he's in heaven watching his hockey game at home while you're watching the Downton Abbey season premiere on your pal's couch. Or, even better, with the all-new TiVo Roamio Pro's ability to stream live television to multiple devices, your man can watch the big game on the big screen while you snuggle up next to him and tune into HBO Girls. Ahhh…quality time, redefined.
4. The Problem: DVR Disasters
There's nothing like settling into the couch with a glass of wine and your remote at the end of a long day only to realize the show you've been waiting to watch wasn't recorded. Misery. And if your S.O. was the perpetrator who happened to have deleted it? Double misery.
The Solution: Of course, everyone makes mistakes. Careless DVR management, like deleting your partner's favorite show or forgetting to record it in the first place, can feel very raw, and lead to questioning your importance in his or her mind. The best thing to do in moments like these is to first cool off. Taking a step back to look at the big picture by asking yourself "Is this slip-up going to seem important to me next week? Next month? Next year?" can help to give perspective. Or, avoid the DVR-rama altogether -- the TiVo Roamio Pro allows you to undelete recently deleted shows. Seriously, these guys think of everything!
5. The Problem: He likes it loud; you fear going deaf.
Among couples, it seems, there's always one partner who cares a lot more about speaker output and quality than the other. My fiance, for example, has our TV room decked out and understandably wants to watch all shows on our smart TV at "movie theater" volume to make the most of his surround-sound setup. I, on the other hand, would be just as happy streaming something via my six-year-old laptop.
The Solution: If the volume level is a matter of necessity, like in my parents' case (my dad is hard of hearing), there's a plethora of wireless headphones on the market that allow one listener to pump up the volume without blasting out the other's eardrums.
If it's simply a matter of preference and you're having frequent arguments about it, Dr. Sherman recommends taking the time to sit down and discuss the feelings surrounding this issue. Chances are the argument is not really about the volume but instead about one partner wanting his or her feelings to be, well, heard.
6. The Problem: Mismatched TV libidos
Katie R., of Sausalito, Calif. admits she's not one to turn down a Sex and the City or Pretty Little Liars marathon, but her TV intake pales greatly in comparison to her husband Jason's "hours after work and all day on weekends if we have no plans" habit.
"If we have plans or I have a solid idea for non-TV time, he turns it off or records for another time," she says. "It's more that TV is his default." Katie, on the other hand, says she's more inclined to decompress after work with a magazine, Pinterest or an art project.
The Solution: In the case of Katie and Jason, while Katie doesn't love how much TV he watches – or the quality of all the shows he chooses – she says getting resentful is not the solution.
"I just need to speak up and ask nicely," she says. "He is happy to let me put something else on 99% of the time. When all else fails, I put on my earbuds and drown out the sound with my music and go to another room."
"Watching TV" no longer means being glued to an actual television. With streaming on the rise, if your partner needs silence in one room, it's easy just to pick up your iPad and move into another. Even for DVR lovers, new devices like the all-new Tivo Roamio series DVRs allow recorded shows to be streamed on any device -- not just the TV it's connected to. And a newly introduced feature of the Roamio, is the ability to watch a recorded show anywhere you can connect to Wi-Fi. Kind of revolutionary, isn't it?
TiVo's all-new Roamio Pro stops clicker bickers before they start. It allows you to watch, stream or record up to six shows at a time--plus watch via TV or mobile device. It holds up to 450 hours of HD recordings and even allows you to undelete shows. It's the next best thing to having a "delete" button for fights with your S.O.!

I made sure that I went on Saturday, though, and had a great workout. What chuffed me the MOST though, was during the cool-down stretches. You know that one where you put one hand behind your back, reaching up, and the other goes behind your head, reaching down to the other hand? I CAN ACTUALLY OVERLAP my fingers now!! Used to be they'd never even TOUCH, now I can almost link them. Holy moly. :carrot:

Title: | Attorneys' Malpractice Policies: Regulatory Exclusions and Public Policy |
Author: | Fortney, Susan Saab |
Abstract: | The courts have yet to decide the issue of the enforceability of provisions in legal malpractice insurance policies that specifically exclude from coverage claims made by government regulators such as the FDIC. The question has reached the courts with respect to such exclusionary provisions in directors' and officers' liability insurance policies, and here the courts are split. The author discusses the current case law and the statutory developments. |

Johnny got another nomination from Academy Awards, for his Sweeney Todd!
He will dispute with: Daniel Day Lewis, George Clooney, Tommy Lee Jones and Viggo Mortensen.
Congratulations, and go Johnny!
Johnny Depp received his third Academy Award nomination for best actor for his role as the title character in Tim Burton's gothic musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," though no nods went to the film, its director or co-star Helena Bonham-Carter.
The nominees for the 80th Academy Awards were announced Tuesday from Beverly Hills, California, with Johnny Depp seeing his portrayal of the psychotic criminal whom he managed to make endearing to the audiences receive a nomination in the best actor category.
Depp, previously nominated for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" in 2004 and "Finding Neverland" in 2005, will compete against George Clooney in "Michael Clayton," Daniel Day-Lewis in "There Will Be Blood," Tommy Lee Jones in "In the Valley of Elah" and Viggo Mortensen in "Eastern Promises."
While "Sweeney Todd" was not nominated in the best picture category, the trophy will be fought over between "Michael Clayton," "There Will Be Blood," "Atonement," "Juno" and "No Country for Old Men."
The organizers of the Academy Awards ceremony have been adamant that the event will take place regardless of the ongoing WGA strike, on the scheduled date of Feb. 24 at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.
Jon Stewart is scheduled to host.
Congratulations to Mr. Depp, for his Best Actor, Musical or Comedy Golden Globe Award for his role in Sweeney Todd!
Sweeney Todd was also awarded as Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.
The site JustJared has the complete list of winners. Go check!
After trying for weeks to salvage the high-luster Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. is set to announce today that it will forgo the annually televised black-tie event scheduled for Sunday in favor of a scaled-down press conference broadcast on NBC.
The compromise would allow the winners to receive their awards but would cut out the lavish dinner and ceremony, an event the Writers Guild of America had vowed to picket.
The extended press conference would be covered by NBC News, which, though part of NBC Universal, is not a division affected by the ongoing writers strike.
MUMBAI: Johnny Depp has been voted as the number one 'Money-Making Star of 2007′ in Quigley Publishing Company's 76th Annual Poll. This poll is an annual survey of motion picture exhibitors conducted since 1932. It votes for the top ten stars who generate the maximum box-office revenue in the preceding year for their theatres.
Depp, who starred in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, has repeated his 2006 performance. In 2005, he was placed only second to Tom Cruise.
This time round Will Smith, who starred in I Am Legend, finished second followed by George Clooney (Michael Clayton and Ocean's Thirteen) and Matt Damon (The Bourne Ultimatum and Ocean's Thirteen). The list further includes Denzel Washington (The Great Debaters and American Gangster) at fifth position while Russell Crowe ( American Gangster and 3:10 to Yuma) was placed sixth.
Interestingly, Tom Cruise, who remained in the top ten for a record 20 times since 1983 fared at number seven followed by Nicholas Cage, Will Ferrell and Tom Hanks respectively. This is the first year in 24 years, since 1983, that exhibitors have not included a female star in the Top Ten. [Source]
Johnny got a Golden Globe nomination!
Actor, Musical or Comedy: Johnny Depp, "Sweeney Todd"; Ryan Gosling, "Lars and the Real Girl"; Tom Hanks, "Charlie Wilson's War"; Philip Seymour Hoffman, "The Savages"; John C. Reilly, "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story."
Picture, Musical or Comedy: "Across the Universe," "Charlie Wilson's War," "Hairspray," "Juno," "Sweeney Todd."
Congratulations, and go Johnny!
Johnny Depp's latest role in the blood-filled 'Sweeney Todd' screams 'Oscar' and rightfully so, it's a fantastic movie but surely Depp has had his fill of fake blood? Apparently not as the star is rumoured to be teaming up with producer-director Michael Mann for a film based on the 'Depression-era crime wave'.
Director Mann has been looking to create a screen adaptation of the nonfiction book "Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34" by Brian Burrough's for a while now, with Leonardo DiCaprio previously attached. Now DiCaprio is off on Shutter Island for Scorsese, it seems that Depp is standing up to the plate.
Circle Monday, December 3rd on your calendar in red . . . because that's when the long-awaited premiere of Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET, starring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd and Helena Bonham Carter as his confederate Mrs. Lovett, will take place! Honoring SWEENEY TODD's Broadway roots–the film is a faithful adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Tony-Award-winning musical–the premiere is scheduled to occur in New York City at the Zeigfeld Theatre, at 8 pm.
Warner Bros. Pictures, Initial Entertainment Group, Plan B and Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil together have acquired film rights to the Gregory David Roberts' Shantaram: A Novel, which is scheduled for publication next week by St. Martin's Press, says The Hollywood Reporter. Johnny Depp will star in the film and produce with Brad Grey and Graham King.
Depp would play the novel's narrator, a young Australian man who escapes from a prison Down Under and goes on to build a new life for himself in the slums of India before going to fight with insurgents in their struggle against the Russians in Afghanistan.
Roberts will adapt the book, which is set in the 1980s and was originally published in August of 2003.

"Before he toplines back-to-back "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels, Johnny Depp will first pull double duty for Tim BurtonTim Burton and Warner Bros.
Already booked to play Willy Wonka in the Burton-directed "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Depp has just made a deal to provide the lead voice in "Corpse Bride," the stop-motion animated film Burton is co-directing with Michael Johnson and producing with Allison Abbate.
Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, Albert Finney, Richard Grant, Joanna Lumley and Christopher Lee will provide character voices for the latter film, being made in London simultaneously with "Charlie."
WB will release the Wonka pic July 15, 2005, and "Corpse Bride" in October 2005.
Latter film shares the stop-motion animation technique used in the Burton-produced "The Nightmare Before Christmas," as well as a similarly charming but macabre setting. In a 19th-century European village, Victor (Depp) travels to the underworld for a quickie wedding to a mysterious corpse bride (Bonham Carter) while his living wife (Watson) pines for his return."

Explore Texas
July 3, 2014 by Doug Gelbert · Leave a Comment
Scarcely four percent of the land in Texas is publicly owned, but because the state is so big, that leaves plenty of places to go for unforgettable Texas RV trips. There are plenty of big chunks of public land to explore. Along the Rio Grande River in the Chihuahuan Desert, for instance, Big Bend National Park is larger than the entire state of Rhode Island and Padre Island on the Gulf Coast. With 100 miles of undeveloped sand that you can pull your RV right onto, it is the nation's largest barrier island. Texas RVers can explore Texas and settle into any natural environment they desire. If it isn't the beach sand or the desert, there are the Piney Woods of East Texas where the Big Thicket became the first national preserve in the United States National Park Service. Across the state, more than 100 artificial reservoirs have been created for recreation, so you are never too far (nothing is really "close" in Texas) from a waterside camp site.

Firework Safety Tips
July 2, 2014 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
The traditions of parades, cookouts, and fireworks help us celebrate the summer season and are synonymous with the celebration of Independence Day. Before your family celebrates, make sure everyone knows about fireworks safety. Fireworks can turn a joyful celebration into a painful memory when children and adults are injured or killed while using fireworks. Although legal consumer fireworks can be relatively safe when used responsibly, all fireworks, by their nature, are hazardous and can cause injuries. The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSA) reports that in the month around the July 4th holiday, an average of 200 people per day visit the emergency room with fireworks-related injuries . CPSC reports eight nonoccupational fireworks-related deaths occurring in six incidents during 2013. Fireworks were involved in an estimated 11,400 injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments during the 2013 calendar year. Children younger than 15 years of age accounted for approximately... [Read more...]
Camping Destinations for Amusement Parks and Summertime Fun!

Scenic Drives Through Canada

Exploring North Carolina
June 24, 2014 by Doug Gelbert · Leave a Comment
In North Carolina, there is a foot path called the Mountains-to-Sea Trail that meanders 1,000 miles from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks on the Atlantic Ocean. It is the ideal way to discover the Tarheel State but you don't need to strap on a backpack to roam in the footsteps of famous North Carolina travelers such as Blackbeard and Daniel Boone. There are plenty of roads that trace the trail and generous camping opportunities from the Crystal Coast to the Carolina Blue Ridge. The notorious pirate Blackbeard, better known in local telephone directories of the day as Edward Teach, did his Crystal Coast camping in the early 1700s. He was hanged by the British Royal Navy offshore on Ocracoke Island in 1718, so he didn't get a chance to build his retirement home or enjoy the region's famous seafood or crystalline surf that washes up on the south-facing beaches. So many ships wrecked on the North Carolina shoals off the seemingly placid waters of the Crystal Coast... [Read more...]
Hiking While RVing
June 22, 2014 by Diane Berry · Leave a Comment
Hiking while RVing is a wonderful way to make the most of a camping trip. Two of my favorite activities, camping and hiking complement each other beautifully. Most RV parks are set in lovely natural areas surrounded by trees and wild settings that beg to be explored. Get out, stretch your legs and go for that walk. On most camping trips, my family and I plan a hike in the area we are visiting to get the best view of the beautiful scenery. Some of our favorites include the hikes to summit 14ers, the 14,000-foot peaks in Colorado. There is nothing better than relaxing around a campfire, waiting for dinner, resting after a vigorous day of hiking. It just doesn't get any better than hiking while RVing. This summer we are planning an RV trip in Colorado to summit four 14ers: Mount Lincoln, Democrat, Cameron and Bross. Located in close proximity to each other, the hike we are planning will hopefully allow us to "bag" four additional 14ers in one day. If you are new to hiking, I encourage... [Read more...]
Exploring Seattle and the Surrounding Area
June 17, 2014 by Doug Gelbert · Leave a Comment
In the 19th century no one was betting on Seattle to become the great metropolis of the Northwest. The Washington capital was placed in Olympia and the railroads all built towards Tacoma. Then in the 1890s gold was discovered in the Yukon in the far north and tiny Seattle on the Puget Sound was the nearest port to ship supplies into the wilderness. Because of that, exploring Seattle has now become very popular. The 605-foot high Space Needle, a souvenir of the 1962 World's Fair, became a symbol of the city and the rejuvenated Pike Place Market a favorite destination. Dropping a few shekels in Rachel, the 550-pound bronze piggy bank that acts as an unofficial mascot, helps keep the century-old stalls humming. Pike Place Market is one of the country's oldest farmers' markets and all Seattle RV parks will have maps leading to Pike Place and Pike Street. The original Starbucks. Starbucks opened in the Pike Place Market in 1971, taking its name from the chief mate to the... [Read more...]

RVing and Fishing

No Trivia's Rap Songs of the Week: Trinidad James Adds to the 'U.O.E.N.O.' Convo
Disclosure "Grab Her!"J. Dilla is the Arthur Russell of hip-hop: A slept-on, productive genre-hopper while he was alive who has proven to be immensely influential in death. Dilla's influence on the strange non-rap sounds of chillwave or Soundcloud dance, and just his warm, do-whatever, sample-whatever spirit loom large. It's a beautiful thing. On "Grab Her!," from U.K. dance bros (no really, they're brothers) Disclosure, they sample Dilla's voice, making explicit where they got their ear for tiny sonic details twisted into endless dance-ready knots, as well as that sense that often, it's more about doing everything you possibly can with a little rather than doing a little with a whole lot of things.Mummz "Back To Da Spot"Harlem post-horrorcore, inverse-of-A$AP rapper Mummz teams up with OG Taxx of Lex Luger's trap-music mentors 808 Mafia.
No Trivia's Rap Release of the Week: Gucci Mane Passes the Torch on 'Trap House 3'
Gucci Mane's Trap House 3, is a good and proper album, apparently, because you have to pay for it, and it's got a whole bunch of big names on it (Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz). In the midst of what some are calling a "comeback," Gucci does have control over his elastic style again, though it seems like every mixtape or series of mixtapes is symptomatic of a comeback to some fan somewhere. 2012's Trap Back and I'm Up were promising enough returns to form too, no?Honestly, recent Gucci tapes have been devoid of a lot of the slap-happy word fun that once made him so fascinating. And there's just something a bit more hateful — or at least bored and bitter — leaking into his raps as of late.
Watch 2 Live Crew Survive the Apocalypse in 'Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke'
The world of bass-pounding, First Amendment-challenging Miami rap music and experimental film do not get to meet up all that much. But thanks to directors Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva and their short, Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke, you can witness 2 Live Crew frontman Luther Campbell get sent into a strange, brightly-colored, folk-art-like future and pay homage to French underground cinema. The 12-minute short is ostensibly tied to real life, but while the film depicts the 1990 As Nasty As They Wanna Be obscenity trial and Luke's 2011 attempt to be mayor of Miami, it's also an out-there, handmade sci-fi flick.The plot, real quick: A nuclear meltdown turns the population of Miami into wound-covered zombies, save for Luke, who inexplicably survived.
Cops Shut Down Kanye West's 'New Slaves' Projections in Two Cities
Kanye West's "New Slaves" projections were shut down in two cities this weekend: Houston, Texas, and Baltimore, Maryland. In Houston on Friday night, all three pre-planned locations (the Rothko Chapel, the Central Library, and George Bush Monument) did not show "New Slaves" due to police canceling the events, as well as "technical difficulties." As SPIN reported via the Houston Chronicle and local Houston blog Day and a Dream, the events seemed peaceful and the police presence heavy, though concerns about public safety and a lack of permits were cited by the city as the reason they did not happen.Details are a bit more clear on the Baltimore shutdowns, scheduled for the Bromo Seltzer Tower, the Walters Art Museum, and the Baltimore Museum of Art. At 5:45 p.m.
Kanye West's 'New Slaves' Projections, Weekend Two
The second weekend of Kanye West's "New Slaves" projections is underway, occurring in 22 additional cities, beginning last night. Though the projection was the same as the one premiered last week, there remains a significant attraction to witnessing it in person, at least for videographers/photographers. Amateur video has already starting appearing on YouTube from Friday's Amsterdam showing. In this one, you can hear fans enthusiastically rapping along to the song; and this documentary-like clip captures the excited crowd, waiting around for the projection to begin. West continues to refine the event-rap grandeur that he's been developing for a few years, but now with an IRL viral, flashmob appeal.On Friday night, "New Slaves" was projected in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Houston, and Tucson.
No Trivia's Rap Songs of the Week: French Montana Is a Non-Entity, Tea-Party Beatmaker Drops Hot Garbage
French Montana, feat. Ne-Yo & Raekwon "We Go Where We Want"This is the second time Ne-Yo has crooned on a pop-savvy Only Built 4 Cuban Linx homage from a New York rapper trying real hard to maintain their cred and still get on the radio. Remember Fabolous' 2007 Timbaland-produced, "Rainy Dayz"-referencing "You Make Me Better"? Here, the sped-up and processed Earl Klugh guitars (that sound like pianos!) of Rae and RZA's "Ice Cream" are woven through French Montana's "We Go Wherever We Want." At least, they allowed Raekwon to show up this time! He shouts out his "Larry King suspenders and...bow tie." Who knows. Really, it's indicative of where rap is that Rae's allowed to show up on a major-label rap album (that isn't by Playaz Circle). Thank Kanye West, who steady keeps finding a place for Wu-Tangers on his recent work, but also golden-era rap nostalgia hitting its boomer phase.
Stream Jonwayne & Jeremiah Jae's Topsy-Turvy Collaboration 'Rap Robbery'
In 2012, both producer/rapper/hazy video game nostalgist Jonwayne and young Los Angeles-by-way-of-Chicago MC Jeremiah Jae were notable for being weird L.A. rap's secret weapons: Jonwayne released the quirky, two-disc beat-tape epic Oodles of Doodles on Stone's Throw (personal favorite: "Live at Guitar Center," an ominous collage of piano and what sounds like a faucet running); and Jeremiah Jae dropped Raw Money Raps on Brainfeeder, featuring among others, "Guns Go Off," a pulsing, Silver Apples-informed bass blast about street violence."Rap Robbery," a collaboration between the two, pretty much sounds exactly like what you would imagine Stones Throw and Brainfeeder's strangest would sound like if they got in a room together — but that's a good thing. As "Rap Robbery" begins, you can hear the two talking about the song. "Make a beat out of that," Jae says casually.
The 'U.O.E.N.O.' Rape Rap Controversy One Month Later
"This shit sound crazy!" That's rapper Future, on the intro to Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O.," off the latter Atlanta rapper's mixtape Gift of Gab 2, released in February. Thanks to 21-year-old ATL producer Childish Major's swinging, dying battery-sounding beat — recalling soundcapist Tim Hecker as much as it does filter-rap hero Mike Will Made It — and a catchy, quotable hook ("You don't even know it"), "U.O.E.N.O." has become a steadily rising street hit. It's the sort of song that plays out of car speakers and pops up on mixtapes, but has no radio or Billboard presence, for the time being, at least.
Does Hip-Hop Really Have a Molly Problem?
On Monday, DJ and producer A-Trak published, "A License to Pill," a Huffington Post editorial on the pernicious effects of mainstream hip-hop's full-stop embrace of molly, lean, and other "trippy" drugs. "Rap went from glorifying selling hard drugs to glamorizing their effects," A-Trak writes, "And beneath the surface there may be a profound lack of understanding of these substances." What A-Trak says has been bubbling under the surface of mature hip-hop discourse for awhile now. Namely, that this molly trend — which isn't exactly new, as SPIN's "Rolling in the Deep: Hip-Hop's Greatest Molly Moments" pointed out, but still — has hit a fever pitch after the "Popped a molly, I'm sweatin'" meme (via Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything"). And what's more, everyone seems to fundamentally misunderstand the drug they're hard-selling as hip.A-Trak's piece is refreshingly reasonable.
Anika: Noir-Pop Dynamo Trades Journalistic Wonkery for Avant-Pop Thrills
Who: Annika Henderson, a German-born, Welsh-raised freelance journalist with a background in club promotion and marketing who has collaborated with Geoff Barrow's queasy post-punk trio Beak>, and has been cited by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner as a major influence on the group's latest album, Mosquito. The singer admits she "never really intended on being a musician," and describes the act of making music and writing as a personal "process of unwinding [her] head and getting [her] issues out." (She removes an "n" from her name to not give everything over to her musical persona).

Would it be better if a doctor prescribe a drug that is inferior just to be fair to the other drug companies? Drug companies are in competition with each other. The more they are the better for the consumer because the expense is less.

WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision Resources, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms focusing on pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that patient-targeted messaging for emerging multiple sclerosis oral agents will need to provide high-level information regarding the efficacy and preservation of quality of life and forego catchy and/or short taglines highlighting oral dosing. The knowledgeable multiple sclerosis patient population is likely to already be informed about oral dosing and will want information regarding efficacy and safety so that they can readily compare these new agents to the efficacy and safety of currently available agents.
"Based on our survey of multiple sclerosis patients, messages from Biogen Idec's Avonex were among the most appealing to patients because they highlight the drug's ability to slow the progression of disability and its ability to reduce the frequency of relapses. Messages highlighting patient support programs (such as Bayer's Betaseron) or needle size (such as Teva Pharmaceutical's Copaxone) were among the least appealing," stated Amanda Puffer, analyst at Decision Resources.
The new report entitled Brand Perceptions in Multiple Sclerosis also finds that surveyed neurologists perceive the efficacy of Merck Serono's safer Rebif nearly as equivalent to that of Biogen Idec's Tysabri. Despite Tysabri's efficacy in clinical trials, this shows that neurologists do not perceive its superiority in delaying disability progression to be sufficient to offset its safety drawbacks.
"One of our most surprising findings was the fact that surveyed neurologists perceive Tysabri to be only slightly more efficacious than Rebif. Even though Tysabri's efficacy is superior to that of Rebif's, it is well accepted that neurologists are hesitant to prescribe Tysabri because of the

FLOOD UPDATE: Cass County pleads for volunteers to help rural sandbagging efforts
Cass County pleaded this morning for volunteers to turnout for sandbagging duties today as rural residents ramp up in their fight against the Red River and its tributaries.
"We are in need of volunteers," County Commissioner Darrell Vanyo said. "We are still a little short of our goals."
Vanyo said the county is about 60 percent done with sandbag levee construction.

He even suggested the NCAA's board of directors and executive committee could hold him accountable for this mess, and it's not over yet.

2012 New Movie Challenge
Some of you may or may not have heard of the New Book challenge that happens every years in the book forum, it has been requested that there be a movie version of it. It's a bit late in the year, but I thought I might as well start it off now so It's already rolling by next year.
The challenge is to watch as many movies that you have never seen before by the end of the year. You can post your goal on here and all of the movies that you end up watching. It's a fun way to encourage yourself and others to see new films.
The Winners Circle:
To become a winner and be added to the list post your movie goal of how many films you want to see that you have never seen before, and when you have completed the task, post back.
Halloween Challenge
I will have some mini contests to help people meet their movie goals, and october is the 31 days of Halloween challenge.
The goal is to watch 31 horror or halloween related movies in the month of October.
Here's a good start list

I have had some BST's hatch in the last couple weeks. The only problem is they haven't been hatching BST's!
There have so many wasps around the fennel, it probably wasn't a good idea to being in large cats. The funny thing is, I don't ever remember seeing the wasps flying around. http://lifesalasagna.blogspot.com/2011/08/black-swallowtail-project-2011-day-29.html I have one chrysalis left but I'm not very hopeful of what lurks inside... Thankfully, I still have two 1st instar cats from eggs, so I should have some BST's to release next spring, Tony |

That red wasp is not parasitic. It is a predator, but not a parasite. Red wasps are in fact, more gentle and far less aggressive than the guinea wasps so common in Oklahoma. |
- Posted by bananasinohio (My Page) on Mon, Sep 19, 11 at 21:58
Hi Tony; It is probably Trogus pennator, a common parasitoid of swallowtail butterflies. It is an ichnuemon wasp. If you watch your flowers you may see some of these and other wasps feeding there. Sometimes you can see these wasps searching plants for caterpilalrs. Good luck, Elisabeth |

tomato worm...what do you mean it's not parasitic? 4 of those wasps have emerged from my BST chrysalides. elisabeth...I've seen plenty of wasps on the fennel, but never the ichnuemon...the only time I see them is after they bore their way out of the chrysalis Tony |
- Posted by caterwallin 6-PA (My Page) on Tue, Sep 20, 11 at 13:12
Tony, Sorry to hear about those wasps. The first year that I raised Black Swallowtails I didn't bring some in until they were fairly big and had the same thing happen that you mentioned except those wasps were different looking than yours. Those darn wasps came out of the pupae instead of the butterflies. It was so disappointing. They overwintered and came out the next spring. From then on I tried to make it a point to bring the butterfly eggs if I could. There just seem to be so many things needing my attention that I don't always get to cats as soon as I'd like and this year I've had a lot of parasiticism going on with the Monarchs. I bring them in anyway even if they're pretty big because if I leave them outside and flies/wasps come out of cats, then they're free to fly and get to more cats. If they're inside, I can dispose of them. I really hope that you get to see some BSTs come out of the pupae that you have yet. Cathy |
- Posted by bananasinohio 6/OH (My Page) on Tue, Sep 20, 11 at 16:35
Tony; I am finding that different flowers attract different species, per my research and experience. On my joe pye weed, swamp milkweed, and boneset, I see tons of bees and wasps including some really interesting parasitoid wasps. There was one just a couple weeks ago that looked amazing. I will have to post it someday. Wasps,bees, and ants are the second(?)largest groups of insects (I think flies might be bigger but they are still counting :)). Wasps form the biggest group,and parasitoid wasps the largest of that group. You will see all kinds of wasps on the right flowers. I think it really depends on the flowers. I am not finding any on my zinnias and lantana. I think they really key in on a specific shape and type. When the boneset is in bloom it is covered with all types of bees and wasps. Look closely because many are tiny and some are huge. Fascinating group. -Elisabeth |

Hi Cathy, I have had four BST's hatch this summer so it hasn't been a total loss. I also have one instar2 and one instar1 cat remaining (from eggs) so there's always next spring. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the last pupa. we'll see what happens. I also bring the big monarchs cats in. I only leave them if I can see visible marks on their bodies that look suspicious. most of the monarchs have been alright but I had 4 or 5 that were the victim of flies. I think this is less of a problem up north though. Good luck with your monarchs, Tony |
- Posted by TomatoWorm59 none (My Page) on Wed, Sep 21, 11 at 17:56
Cool, the pic of the dead wasp looks just like our regular red wasps, a colonial paper nest builder. It must be a different species. The red wasps I speak of, are the size of any normal paper wasps [Polistes species, guineas and yellow jackets]. A parasitic wasp is typically much smaller. The largest ones I've seen are the brown or mahogany ichneumons, but they usually lay only egg in each caterpillar. Parasitic wasps are also solitary and for obvious reasons, do not build nests. |
- Posted by hurricanekerrie 4 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 17, 11 at 19:58
I was so sad to see this same wasp come out of one of my chrysalises. I thought my Eastern Tiger caterpillar was overwintering, come to find out there's a wasp in the butterfly house instead. How could it have gotten there? I got the caterpillar while it was in its 2nd instar stage--very, very little and it has been indoors ever since. Could it have been attacked by the wasp that early? Poor baby. :( |
I'm sorry so many of you are having disappointing experiences due to the wasps. But, they're actually equally fascinating and precious creatures. The very diversity of critters that exist is what maintains the precious balance and keeps everything running the way it should. I know it's hard to love a wasp the way we love butterflies, but they need to live, too. And we need them to live. Good luck next year! Martha |

Kerrie, sorry to hear you experienced the same problems. I had a late batch of BST's on parsley and thankfully no wasps this time. :) All the chrysalides are overwintering in the porch. To combat this problem in the future, I am planning to pot parsley plants as they are not frequented by wasps. Fennel seems to be a preferred egg laying and caterpillar munching plant BUT I am going to try and raise the cats on alternative plants to cut down on the parasitic issues. (I will still keep 1 or 2 fennel plants to attract the egg layers.) I'll let you know if my plan cuts down the casualties next season...Tony |
"How could it have gotten there? I got the caterpillar while it was in its 2nd instar stage--very, very little and it has been indoors ever since. Could it have been attacked by the wasp that early?" Wasps can parasitize lepidoptera in any stage, but most commonly from egg to pupa, by either ovipositing inside them or on the outside of the choosen host. Their larva can then grow within them without killing them until they themselves pupate or emerge. Almost all wasps worldwide are parasitic in one form or another, not just those commonly associated with Lepidoptera. Some years here on the desert the infestations are so heavy in lepidopteran livestock it's nearly impossible to find untouched livestock. I can't begin to count the number of times I've traveled great distances to obtain wild livestock, and reared robust larvae only to be rewarded with parasitoids in the last instar larvae or pupae. In part why I learned very early on how to "hand pair" any species of lepidoptera, and built my own controlled habitat rearing cages with glass sides and a tight fitting very fine mesh net top and cover for the water bath under the cage. With that I seldom had to deal with parasitoids again. Larry |

wow, I didn't realize that eggs could be parasitized! I'm guessing (ok,hoping) that's not as common since eggs are more difficult to find. Tony |

That's just sad that the caterpillars live with those parasites only to die later... :( But they couldn't have eaten a wasp egg with the leaves right? Anyway, I'm a preschool teacher and my class and I have reared two Eastern Tiger Swallowtails from early instars into butterflies (we found them on our school fence.) |
