It will take time to de-suburbanize the U.S. and move habitations and jobs back into manageable cities, but the world doesn't have that much time. That's why Tesla Motors' new gigafactory is very, very good news.
He may have driven over state lines in a Tesla, but Texas Gov. Rick Perry again demonstrated that he is clearly living in another era—one that a vast swath of the country has already left behind—during a speech in San Francisco on Wednesday night at the Commonwealth Club of California.
Tesla Motors
With high-profile deals, expanding infrastructure and a growing list of models, the electric car is finally arriving, but, as they say, your mileage may vary. Charge that Tesla Roadster in Georgia, where they burn coal to power the grid, and you may as well be driving a Prius.
Filckr / jurvetson
A joint partnership between Toyota and electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors, announced Friday, will provide $50 million to the latter firm while giving Toyota access to Tesla's battery technology, a move that will help boost electric car production in the face of Toyota's recent recall setbacks.
From the L.A. Times
The Tesla company's new all-electric car can go 250 miles off a 3.5-hour charge and hit speeds of 130 mph. And although at $100,000 apiece, they're not ready for the masses, the Teslas represent a huge leap over GM's 1996 all-electric model, and offer a glimpse of things to come.

Caramel, vanilla and a hint of spice riding high on this stronger Jack Daniel's bottling. The finish is suitably longer and spicier.
Please enter your details to make it easier for us to help you further.
A really good saloon whisky.In western movies you see the Cowboys in the saloon drinking neat whisky, they drink it, grimace and slam the glass on the bar and signal the barman to pour another. This is what you feel like doing with this JD. And that's a good thing. I've never tasted a whisky like this before. It's not better or worse, just different, very nicely different. Get a bottle, you won't be disappointed.
1st December 2014
Was really well packaged - very secure - no risk of breakage (it had an inflatable sleeve inside a cardboard box). Really pleased with the condition - came with a box flat-packed, which you pop up yourself to put the bottle in. It is a gift so I haven't tasted it, but after what the recipient says about Jack Daniels, I have no doubt he will love it. It also came before the estimated delivery date, which is great.

Fox prepares 'The Casino' without product placements or sponsorships
By Wade Paulsen, 05/01/2004
Reality TV superproducer Mark Burnett (
The Apprentice
The Restaurant
) may be the best in reality TV at
product placements
, but he's finally found a subject he can't sell: gaming.
Burnett's new Fox show,
The Casino
, which focuses on the efforts of two dot-com millionaires to restore the Golden Nugget casino to its luster of the 1940s and 1950s, has, according to
Ad Age
, been made without product placements or featured sponsorship deals. Considering that each of the 13 hourlong episodes cost over $1 million to film and edit, Burnett and Fox have taken a significant gamble of their own.
However, there appears to be at least one "behind-the-scenes" sponsor of the show, which will
debut June 8
: Panasonic Broadcast & Television Systems Company, which
provided the equipment
for the show to be filmed and aired in High Definition TV (HDTV).
The Casino
will be Fox's debut into HDTV -- a debut long sought by HDTV equipment manufacturers, who have been hoping for sales of HDTV equipment to revitalize the slumping consumer electronics industry.
RealityTVWorld: The Casino
SirLinksALot: The Casino
The Casino Message Boards
More The Casino News
Until 1999, Federal Communications Commission regulations
prohibited legal casinos from showing gamblers
in their advertising -- and even prohibited the mention of the word "casino" unless the word was part of the advertiser's name. That year, however, the Supreme Court struck down the advertising ban as unconstitutional in a Louisiana case. Although
many broadcasters
have interpreted that ruling as permitting all for-profit casinos to advertise just about anywhere, the FCC still characterizes the decision
on its website
as applying only to advertisements about lawful private casino gambling in states where casino gambling is legal.
We do not know whether the dearth of advertisers for
The Casino
is due to concerns about possible FCC action against product placements in
The Casino
or whether it simply relates to advertisers' desire to stay way from gaming and gamesters. We hope that the latter is the case.
Even dot-com millionaires who want to get involved in gaming may have dark secrets in their past, as Mark Burnett learned after announcing
The Casino
. Tim Poster and Tom Breiling, who
sold their online travel business Travelscape.com
to Expedia.com for $105 million, were found by the Nevada Gaming Control Board in a
January 7 hearing
to be closely tied to Vegas strip club owner Rick Rizzolo, who is reportedly under investigation by the FBI for ties to organized crime.
As a result, the Control Board recommended merely a one-year license for the duo (to ensure that Rizzolo wasn't a silent partner), which led to a downgrade in the acquisition debt, which in turn threatened to collapse the duo's $215 million acquisition of the Vegas and Laughlin Golden Nugget properties from prior owners MGM Mirage. However, the Las Vegas Review-Journal
that the Nevada Gaming Commission awarded the duo a four-year license with an optional one-year review
the Control Board findings.
Despite the Golden Nugget's storied past (it was the original downtown Vegas casino
under the thumb
of gangsters Ben "Bugsy" Siegel and his NY-based partners Meyer Lansky and Charles "Lucky" Luciano before Bugsy took over building the first Vegas "luxury" resort, the Flamingo), the Golden Nugget faces substantial challenges in ever returning to its one-time pinnacle. The fact that MGM Mirage (owner of the MGM Grand, the Bellagio, the Mirage, Treasure Island, New York - New York, the Boardwalk and Monte Carlo in Vegas), which is battling for Vegas supremacy with Caesars Entertainment (formerly part of Hilton Hotels and owner of the Flamingo, the Las Vegas Hilton, Caesars Palace, Bally's and Paris in Vegas), says a lot about the unimportance of downtown casinos in today's Vegas. No wonder the new owners opened the doors to a reality-TV show -- it might be the only way to get people to leave the Las Vegas Strip.
However, this is not the first reality-TV show developed around a Nevada casino-hotel, nor is it the only one in production. Back in 2003, the Anglo-Dutch reality TV giant Endemol made a six-epsiode reality-soap entitled
, which focused on employees of Vegas' The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino, for BBC3 in the UK. Currently in pre-production is a show by Ben Silverman's Reveille Productions, Mark Burnett's original partner on a
casino-themed reality show
, entitled
The Club
that will focus on Vegas' Hard Rock Casino and Hotel and is expected to air on Spike TV in the US. Meanwhile, the Discovery Channel has filmed a 13-episode show called
American Casino
, set at the Green Valley Ranch Station Casino in Henderson, which is also expected to air this summer and which hopes to divert some press attention from the Fox show.
The social stigma still associated with gaming and gamesters even affects such personages as Mark Burnett himself, who told the
Las Vegas Review-Journal
, "I never gamble." We assume that he was referring to his decision to make
The Casino
, which he described to
Ad Age
as a "calculated risk as opposed to a gamble." We hate to tell Mr. Burnett that most successful gamblers at games of chance also would describe what they do as calculating risks.
effort to reduce the risk, Burnett is employing 18 camera crews and is using 22 Panasonic VariCam High Definition cameras. Also, so that he didn't have to focus on slot-machine players or random millionaires who didn't mind being filmed, Burnett held nationwide casting calls looking for genuine high-rollers and compelling low-rollers. Passing celebrities, such as Tony Bennett, Jewel and the rock band Barenaked Ladies, will also appear -- but the show's main action will be focused around a gaming pit with blackjack, craps and roulette, in which a mixture of random and planned events will take place.
One thing that isn't staged is the money being won or lost. According to one of Burnett's on-site producers, Roy Banks, "[The players] return here and they gamble their own money -- it's all real money -- and we either want them to win or we want them to lose."
We tend to think that, like
The Restaurant
, a successful prime-time run for
The Casino
over the summer will lead to a regular-season sequel. This will be more likely if, like the typical Burnett show, the program attracts the Adult 18-49 demographic as well as upper-income, well-educated viewers ... and if the FCC chooses not to object to the advertising during
The Casino
's initial run.

It is closed off on the Neva side by the Winter Palace, across from the spectacular semicircular colonnade of the General Staff Building pierced in the middle by a majestic triumphal arch. In the centre of the square stands the Alexander Column.

JBL introduces OnBeat speaker dock for iPad, iPhone, iPod
If you've somehow avoided buying a speaker dock for your iPad, iPhone or iPod up to this point, then you might want to wait until next month before you make your decision. That's when the JBL OnBeat speaker dock will be available at Apple and Best Buy stores.
Priced at US$149.95, the OnBeat is JBL's first foray into the iPad dock market. They've obviously put some thought into the design, building a swoopy design big enough to comfortably hold an iPad in portrait or landscape orientation and packing a pair of Phoenix full-range transducer speakers that can pump out your favorite tunes with great clarity and volume. The OnBeat produces 7.5 watts of computer-optimized, DSP-equalized audio per channel.
Not only does the OnBeat dock handle your tunes, but if you happen to have a set of composite video cables handy, you can run 'em between the OnBeat and your TV. JBL supplies an IR remote with the OnBeat so that you don't have to get up from the couch to change tunes, and of course, you can use the dock to keep your favorite iToy charged up.
As you can see from the image above, the OnBeat dock looks pretty cool, too. I don't know if it's just me, but with that iPad attached it looks like some sort of robot samurai... We'll try to get one of these docks soon for testing and giveaway.

5 Great Game for any Lego game fanPosted: 26/12/2009This game is superb. As the last reviewer says there is so much to it. It will never get boring.I was a little hesitant to buy this as my 5 and 7 year olds already had the first indie (and never leave it alone) but this is great. We have not played many levels yet but it seems that all the old levels from the first indie have been re-written and now there are many more features including treasure levels, hidden levels, and levels within levels.Plus they have finally sorted the one thing about lego games that got my children shouting at each other. How many times did they play the last indie, Batman, or Star wars and started shouting at each other for going the way the other did not want to go. With this indie they have created a new intelegent split screen that splits automatically when players walk away from each other. Problem truely solved. All future Lego games MUST have this feature.A must have for kids and adults. Highly recommend!!!
1 Do not buy this filmPosted: 04/11/2007I loved the book and cannot believe how much the film version sucked.It seems obvious that whoever wrote the screenplay didn't bother reading the book first and was just handed a one page summary of what it was about. For those who have read the book, here are some notable scenes:Fires at the oil refinery/tanker and all subsequent fires - Not in the film.Bluewater - Not in the filmDartford Tunnel - Not in the filmFloating body on the Jubilee line - Not in the filmLondon Eye - Not in the filmOf course you're wondering what was in the film, where I am wondering why have I just wasted two hours of my life.For those who have not read the book, please do not buy this but direct yourself to the book, Which Play also sells and I do recommend.As for the filmakers, you really need to send Richard Doyle an apology.

I am trying to convert an arbitrary mime part somewhere in a mime hierarchy into a multipart containing the original part and a new part.
This is so that I can receive a message, decompose (decompress, decode documents, etc) it's parts, review the new content, then remove the new content again before sending the message back out.
Here is something like what I tried:
private void expandPart(MimePart mp) { MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("X-Expanded"); MimeBodyPart exPart = getExpandedPart(mp); multipart.addBodyPart((BodyPart)mp); multipart.addBodyPart((BodyPart)exPart); mp.setContent(multipart); }
I expected this to change my original part into a "multipart/X-expanded" part with two child parts: the original part and the expanded version. What I get is a complete mess (based on inspecting the mp at the end of the function).

Turkey's Ergenekon trial verdicts set to entrench divisions
ISTANBUL, Aug 6 (Reuters) – The conviction of more than 250
people on conspiracy charges may be seen by supporters of Prime
Minister Tayyip Erdogan as a triumph for Turkish democracy, but
for many the landmark rulings have exposed deep divisions over
the country's political future.
A court on Monday jailed a former military chief for life
and imprisoned scores of other retired officers, journalists,
academics and opposition politicians for plotting to overthrow
Erdogan's Islamist-rooted government.
Turkish court to announce verdicts in Ergenekon conspiracy case
ISTANBUL (Reuters) – A Turkish court will pass judgment on Monday on nearly 300 defendants accused of plotting to topple the government in a battleground case in the decade-long conflict between Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and Turkey's secularist establishment.
Security forces set up barricades around the courthouse in the Silivri jail complex, west of Istanbul, to tighten security after the defendants' supporters vowed to hold a demonstration against the five-year trial that has exposed deep divisions in Turkish society.
Turkey appoints new military commanders as government asserts control
ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkey appointed new military commanders on Saturday in an overhaul of its top ranks that underlined the government's control over armed forces which once dominated political life.
NATO's second largest army is facing multiple challenges as conflict in neighboring Syria spills across the border and a peace process with Kurdish militants looks increasingly fragile.
Kurd militants give Turkey "final warning" on peace deal
ISTANBUL, July 19 (Reuters) – Kurdish militants issued what
they said was a "final warning" to Turkey on Friday to take
concrete steps to advance a peace process aimed at ending a
three-decade insurgency, or be responsible for it grinding to a
Jailed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan
and Ankara launched peace talks last October to halt a conflict
which has killed 40,000 people and blighted Turkey's mainly
Kurdish southeast.
Kurdish peace process under threat as militants step up activity
ISTANBUL, July 16 (Reuters) – A surge in Kurdish militant
activity in southeast Turkey is fuelling fears that a peace
process with Ankara could unravel, complicating the government's
task of enacting reforms without inflaming nationalist
Jailed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan
and Ankara launched peace talks last October with the goal of
ending a conflict which has killed 40,000 people in three
decades and stunted the mainly Kurdish southeast's development.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – France defeated Uruguay 4-1 in a penalty shootout to win their first Under-20s World Cup title on Saturday after a fiercely-contested final ended 0-0 after extra-time.
Dimitri Foulquier scored the decisive fourth spot kick in front of a sparse crowd, beating Uruguay keeper Guillermo de Amores to seal victory for France who beat Turkey, Uzbekistan and Ghana on the way to the final.

Kurdish rebels promote hawk as peace process falters
ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Kurdish rebels have named a veteran senior militant as co-head of their political wing, replacing a relative moderate and clouding the future of a peace process with the Turkish state that has been disrupted by renewed violence.
The umbrella political group of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) publicly reaffirmed on Wednesday a commitment to ending the conflict, which has killed 40,000 people in 29 years.
Turkish police fired water cannon to prevent park protest
ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkish police fired teargas and water cannon on Monday at protesters who tried to defy a closure order and enter an Istanbul park at the centre of protests against Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's government.
Gezi Park was only open for a few hours after Istanbul's governor allowed people back in, following often violent protests last month against plans to redevelop the area, when riot police ordered it shut ahead of a planned rally.
Turkey reopens Istanbul park at heart of protests
ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkey reopened an Istanbul park at the heart of last month's demonstrations against Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and protest leaders called a rally there for Monday evening in defiance of the city governor.
Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu announced the reopening three weeks after riot police expelled protesters from Gezi Park following a fortnight of frequently violent protests against plans to redevelop the area.

Boom Times for TV Location Recordists
Capturing Production Sound on the Set or in the Street 4/01/2004 7:00 AM EasternWhen we talk about film and TV sound, we tend to gravitate toward the "sexier" disciplines of sound design and effects generation — recording those 18th-century muskets or supercharged hot rods, or combining whale noises with lions, wind and creaking wood to make the perfect dinosaur roar. But the production sound folks are among the hardest-working professionals in our business: They're on the set before shooting begins and after shooting ends each day, struggling to ply their craft in settings that are always more oriented toward the demands of the visual artisans than the audio specialists.
In television in particular, production of conventional dramatic series and situation comedies is down at the major networks, but with the rapid proliferation of cable channels, there are more shows of every genre being produced and broadcast than ever before, and hundreds more in development or at the pilot stage. And what's taken the place of those dramas and sitcoms at the big networks? Reality shows, which often require multiple teams of location recordists (though for shorter periods than a scripted full-season show).
Recently, we spoke to a pair of TV location sound pros — one on a network series, the other a veteran of numerous reality shows — to find out more about the demands and peculiarities of the job and (this being Mix and all) talk a bit about gear.
Let's see: There's a deadly virus in the hands of mysterious evil-doers. A top senator is threatening President Palmer. We've had a calamitous prison riot and jailbreak, graphic torture, a suicide, a man shooting his own brother in the back but then being blown up himself, and agent Jack Bauer making out with the terrorist woman who killed his wife. And that's not the half of it! A lot happens in a "day" on the Fox show 24, now nearing the end of its third action-packed season.
It's a clever concept: Each hour of the series depicts a single hour in one crisis-filled day in the life of the government's top-secret, L.A.-based Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU). There are usually half-a-dozen interweaving plots and subplots going at once, most of them, it seems, involving lots of running and driving around, gun battles and —always— talking on cell phones.
Bill Gocke has been the location mixer for the series since the pilot was shot in Canada nearly four years ago. Gocke has been involved in sound for more than 25 years. After apprenticing as a utility sound technician, he got into production work as a boom operator in the '70s working on the hit sci-fi series Star Trek: The Next Generation, among others. He worked as a mixer for the first time on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and a number of feature films (including A Soldier's Story and Best Friends), but has mainly done television and now does 24 exclusively.
When I spoke with Gocke, it was the morning after a long afternoon/evening shoot for the series. Because of the unusual "real-time" temporal framework of the series, production personnel go through long stretches when all of the exterior action (and there's plenty of it) is shot at night — say, if the episode takes place between one and two in the morning.
"There's definitely more night work than any other show I've been involved with," Gocke says. "But they try to do splits, so we'll do some of the indoor work, like at CTU [headquarters], in the daytime and then go out at night. But it depends on the situation. A night might have a 4:30 p.m. call and then go all night in downtown L.A. Yesterday was an 11:30 [a.m.] call and we got off around midnight, 12:30. But it was inside a lot of the time. It's kind of rough, but you adjust.
"This year's show started differently than we have before — it started later in the 'day.' But at the other end, when we get ready to finish this year, it will be daylight on the show so we'll be shooting in the daytime more."
Like most location recordists/mixers, Gocke keeps his sonic world on a portable cart that goes with him wherever the show is shooting. "I use a Cooper 208 [8-input] mixer and I also have a [Cooper] 106 backup," he says. "They want DAT, so I use a Fostex PD-4 and I back it up with a Nagra IV, which is a great machine — it's the backbone. It's so dependable, so solid. We use Lectrosonics radio mics — I use the Lectrosonics 210s — as well as Sennheiser MKH 416s, MKH 50s and 60s, and also some Schoeps and Sanken lavs." Gocke says he appreciates that radio mics have come a long way, because they're using them on the show more than ever. Radio mics are particularly important on 24 because they are shooting with two cameras all of the time, one handheld and one on a dolly, usually for tighter shots. "This can create problems for us, because, obviously, you have two different perspectives to deal with, both in terms of the audio and, more practically, where I'll be during the scene," says Gocke. "If it's just one camera shooting, I can usually be right off to the side in the shadows, but with two, you have to pick your spot more carefully. Plus, there's a lot of movement — the actors are constantly moving and roaming around — so it makes it difficult for us to get booms overhead some of the time. That's why the radio mics are a great tool. They have great range and the mics have gotten better and better." Typically, Gocke will have radio mics on all of the key players in a scene and, if possible, have some plant mics as well. "If there are five people, I try to separate [the mics] and keep them clean as much as possible, or at least aware of what overlaps there might be."
Gocke says he still prefers the sound captured by a boom as opposed to RF mics: "It has a more natural sound to me. It brings in some air, some ambience, which sounds prettier to me. There's more warmth. The radio mics are more trouble — putting them on people with different clothes, worrying about [clothes] rustle, all that stuff. But at this point, they're indispensable," he asserts. "We're not going to get in the cab of a truck with a boom mic. You need the radio mic. They have good range, so we have a presence [in the scene] even if we can't physically be in the truck. And if they can use some of that sound, they will; if not, they re-do it later on."
When he can, Gocke likes to blend the radio mics with the boom. He's used the same boom operator, Todd Overton, since their Deep Space Nine days, and he also works with a "third": Cory Wood, who's also a boom operator and assists in all manner of location sound needs. "It's a team effort," Gocke stresses. "They're extremely important. They both have to be paying total attention to what's going on, what the camera's doing."
In fact, Gocke says this camera consciousness is one of the most important aspects of his work: "A lot of this job is learning how to get a mic where it needs to be with all the other things that are involved, from cameras to lighting…how to get to your spot. You have learning about lenses and what you can get away with soundwise with each lens. You need to know what the dolly is doing, what the handheld is doing. Are they zooming in? Are they staying tight or are they going wide? You have to always determine the perspective of each shot because the sound has to make sense for that perspective."
Alas, the sound department rarely gets much input into scouting locations, so Gocke and his team often have to make the best of some rather difficult settings. "They don't help us out that much," he says with a laugh. "The location people mostly care about the picture. They might say, 'Sorry about the freeway,' but then you just do the best you can with what they give you. They know it's a trade-off. They know a location won't always work for sound and that sometimes they'll have to replace stuff later."
Fortunately, a decent percentage of the show's action takes place on various warehouse soundstages — the CTU set is out in Woodland Hills, Calif., for example — or locations far removed from big city noises: Some canyons in Santa Clarita doubled for rural Mexico in the main story line.
Gocke says that 24 shoots two episodes at once during a 15-day cycle. "We'll jump back and forth between the two scripts because the story is always related," he says. "We'll shoot what's convenient in a given place and time. Doing two [shows] at once gives us some flexibility that way.
"It used to be that there was a big difference between the way feature films and TV were shot, but that's changed. TV used to be really fast —boom, boom, boom— but now a lot of features have gotten that way, too. And now some shows are shot more like features. It's still fast-paced, but not to the degree they once were."
Gocke's gig on 24 takes up nine months of his year, from July through April. "Then I try to relax when the show's not going," he says. "You usually don't have much of a life when you're working. It's a lot of 12-hour days and then on weekends, you're just recovering.
"But it's a great show to work on," he continues. "The crew is fantastic, the actors are all excellent. There's just a little too much whispering," he confides with a laugh.
When Dave McJunkin returned my call for this story, he was sitting in the back of a van in L.A. during a shoot for the pilot of a prospective Bravo network reality series called Underexposed, which follows the fortunes of a number of young directors attempting to make a short (3.5-minute) film on a shoestring budget — sort of a low-rent Project Greenlight without the hostile producer. The directors are provided with equipment and $2,000 to shoot about a three-page script in two 12-hour days. McJunkin and a cameraman were following one of the young directors as he went through his paces.
In a perfect world, McJunkin might have instead been in some exotic port-of-call following travelers on The Amazing Race 5, CBS' Emmy-winning reality series that documents a million-dollar race around the world by 12 pairs of contestants. McJunkin worked on the previous two editions of the show, but turned down season five to spend time in L.A. with his wife and new baby. (He also passed on a call for Survivor: All-Stars for the same reason; what a spouse!)
McJunkin has a long and varied background in film, having worked on features, television, commercials, corporate and documentaries since completing film school at L.A. Valley College in the early '80s. His documentary background was particularly valuable when he first got into the reality TV game, with MTV's Real World 2 (in Venice Beach, south of L.A.). McJunkin has worked on several reality shows since his Real World days, including the short-lived Real Roseanne Show, with Roseanne Barr; Animal Planet's ongoing Cell Dogs, where pooches are trained by prisoners to be guide dogs and pets; and The Residents on the Discovery Health channel. When we spoke, he was about to head into L.A. for a stint working on Fear Factor.
Reality shows in general are incredibly demanding for location sound mixers (and camera crew). Because they are completely unscripted, they have to constantly be at the ready to capture anything interesting that's going down. The camera crew has to be as unobtrusive as possible; ideally, they are completely invisible to the viewers. There's a lot of lying around on floors, or worse, being squashed into a car, perhaps holding a small boom mic if space allows, or at the very least listening to RF mics on headphones and mixing on the fly. One of the cardinal rules of reality television is that the crew does not get involved with the "characters," so the sound tech and camera person are really an isolated team of their own once they're out on location. "We become producers, in a way, since we're the only people out there most of the time," McJunkin says. There are often situations where multiple two-person sound/camera crews converge on some communal spot or event in a reality show, and that produces its own problems: Who, if anyone, lays out? Who's covering this or that aspect of this encounter? Given the sheer number of people required to handle the sound and visual aspects of most reality series, it's amazing that the people being shot seem as unself-conscious as they do.
For a fast-moving show like The Amazing Race, which might be in Vienna one day and in North Africa the next, the production teams have to travel as light as possible — McJunkin can't have an 8-channel mixer with Nagra backup. "Because we carry all our gear and our personal belongings with us, we have to keep the weight down. I was a runner and a tri-athelete for many years so I stay in pretty good shape. And you need to be in good shape for something like The Amazing Race because you're sometimes literally running around following these fiercely competitive people who are in really good shape and usually 10 years younger than me and carrying less weight. It's hard to keep up with them sometimes. Between the camera and sound gear — because the sound guy carries some of the camera batteries — it's about a 50-pound pack."
One of the roughest experiences McJunkin remembers on the last Amazing Race was "running around in Mexico City, which is a mile high, carrying all this weight, and we were running through this one square where everyone was cooking different foods on these little barbecues, and they were using anything to cook the food, including plastic and paper, and the fumes were unbelievable. It was hard not to be overcome by the fumes. Another time we spent a January night outside at a train station in Cortina, Italy, in the Alps, and it was below freezing. Then there was this other 24-hour bus trip in Mexico where I got food poisoning. Fortunately, there was a bathroom on the bus. The producers had a replacement for me ready at the next destination."
Though McJunkin prefers to use his own top-quality portable equipment, he says some network reality shows prefer to get their audio and video equipment from the same rental house so they can save money on a package deal. Having multiple crews with the same equipment makes sense, though: Uniformity of formats is certainly preferable in the posting stage.
For The Amazing Race 4, "They rigged us with a Wendt X2, which is a little 2-channel mixer, and a couple of Lectrosonics 210 wireless," he says. "We have one wireless from a contestant member and one boom going to those two channels, and we also have a wireless send to the camera. The other contestant is on a wireless that goes straight to the camera. The booms you use are these collapsible carbon-fiber booms that can stretch anywhere from six to 11 feet, but might collapse down to only 20 inches. On The Amazing Race, they use Sennheiser MK60 shotguns. I'm not a big fan of the sound, but one of the nice things about all the Sennheiser RF condenser mics is they resist humidity and abuse really well. My own preference is a little Neumann KM100 preamp with the 50 hypercardioid capsule. I like to use that on interiors, and then I have either a Neumann KMR 82 or an Audio-Technica 4073, which is loosely based on a Neumann KMR 81 but is a little more directional. It's light and it has extremely high output, so it's good for exteriors. It also resists the humidity well."
For mobility and weight-distribution reasons, "I mount the mixer on my chest in a harness — a modified climber's harness that I got from REI," McJunkin says. "I try to make it so it evenly distributes the weight on my shoulders. I started having a problem with my back carrying a Nagra on my right shoulder for years and years. So far, the harness has worked really well."
Given the opportunity to use his own equipment on location, McJunkin has a different choice of mixer: "I use the Sound Devices 442 mixer, which I really just love. The only problem I had with the original PSC M4 mixer — now called the Wendt X4 — which did sound great, is the controls were not laid out in an easy, logical way. The Sound Devices mixer is better designed — all the controls you need are on the front and the things you need less are on the side. Plus, the limiters in it are very good, which is a vital thing in a reality show because you don't know when someone's going to start screaming," he says with a laugh. "The wireless I use are Lectrosonics 205s. A lot of reality shows like to use the Sennheiser wireless for the reason that the transmitter is so small and doesn't show through clothing a lot." (Survivor gets around that problem by going all-boom. Where would you put an RF mic on a buck-naked Richard Hatch?)
McJunkin also says that he's looking forward to trying out a new piece of gear: "Lectrosonics has this new transmitter, the M400, which is waterproof and runs off a single double-A and has an O-ring seal on the battery. One of the nice things about it is it will emulate the Sennheiser noise reduction; the compander in the Sennheiser. So if you have a show that has a lot of Sennheiser receivers, you can use one of these transmitters, in spite of it being from a different manufacturer. That's an interesting thing to do, because a lot of manufacturers want to set you up to only be able to buy their stuff."
Doing sound for reality shows requires special focus and self-discipline — it's clearly not for everybody. But the rewards can be great. Besides being a popular niche at the moment and thus a good source of work, the reality genre gives even the technical crew an ongoing glimpse of humanity, for better and worse. It can be instructive, cautionary, funny, sad, gross and pathetic. Just like real life. "I like to think that we're telling the story," McJunkin says of reality sound recordists. "After all, there are no writers. We're writing the story with our sound. Without that, all you have is pretty pictures."

Rapsody - The Drums
Artist: Rapsody
Producer: 9th Wonder
Album: The Idea of Beautiful
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 9 votes )
Rapsody doesn't need a DeLorean to travel back to 1996; simply throw on a boom-bap rhythm and the North Carolina spitter will find herself transported back to her hip-hop saturated youth. On The Drums, a new single off her recent, Booth-hosted street album, the Jamla signee tries to resurrect that golden age for the rest of us, reminiscing about the tunes that soundtracked her childhood over a throwback beat by label boss 9th Wonder, featuring live-band ensemble The Soul Council. Heather Victoria lends her breezy guest vocals to the chorus, and director Kenneth Price ties the package together with some fittingly nostalgic official visuals. Released back in August, Rap's The Idea of Beautiful LP is available now for streaming and purchase in The DJBooth.

Devanagari | गरुड |
Sanskrit Transliteration | Garuḍa |
The Garuda (Sanskrit: गरुड garuḍa, "eagle") is a large mythical bird or bird-like creature that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology.
Garuda is the Hindu name for the constellation Aquila and the Brahminy kite and Phoenix are considered to be the contemporary representations of Garuda.[1] Indonesia adopts a more stylistic approach to the Garuda's depiction as its national symbol, where it depicts a Javanese eagle (being much larger than a kite).[2]
Contents |
In Hindu religion, Garuda is a Hindu divinity, usually the mount (vahana) of the God Vishnu. Garuda is depicted as having the golden body of a strong man with a white face, red wings, and an eagle's beak and with a crown on his head. This ancient deity was said to be massive, large enough to block out the sun.
Garuda is known as the eternal sworn enemy of the Nāga serpent race and known for feeding exclusively on snakes, such behavior may have referred to the actual Short-toed Eagle of India. The image of Garuda is often used as the charm or amulet to protect the bearer from snake attack and its poison, since the king of birds is an implacable enemy and "devourer of serpent". Garudi Vidya is the mantra against snake poison to remove all kinds of evil.[3]
His stature in Hindu religion can be gauged by the fact that an independent Upanishad, the Garudopanishad, and a Purana, the Garuda Purana, is devoted to him. Various names have been attributed to Garuda - Chirada, Gaganeshvara, Kamayusha, Kashyapi, Khageshvara, Nagantaka, Sitanana, Sudhahara, Suparna, Tarkshya, Vainateya, Vishnuratha and others. The Vedas provide the earliest reference of Garuda, though by the name of Śyena, where this mighty bird is said to have brought nectar to earth from heaven. The Puranas, which came into existence much later, mention Garuda as doing the same thing, which indicates that Śyena (Sanskrit for Eagle) and Garuda are the same. One of the faces of Śrī Pañcamukha Hanuman is Mahavira Garuda. This face points towards the west. Worship of Garuda is believed to remove the effects of poisons from one's body. In Tamil Vaishnavism Garuda and Hanuman are known as "Periya Thiruvadi" and "Siriya Thiruvadi" respectively.
In the Bhagavad-Gita (Ch.10, Verse 30), in the middle of the battlefield "Kurukshetra", Krishna explaining his omnipresence, says - " as son of Vinata, I am in the form of Garuda, the king of the bird community (Garuda)" indicating the importance of Garuda.
Garuda wears the serpent Adisesha on his left wrist and the serpent Gulika on his right wrist. The serpent Vasuki forms his sacred thread. The cobra Takshaka forms his belt on his hip. The snake Karkotaka is worn as his necklace. The snakes Padma and Mahapadma are his ear rings. The snake Shankachuda adorns his divine hair. He is flanked by his two wives 'Rudra' and 'Sukeerthi' or (Sukirthi). These are all invoked in Vedanta Desika's Garuda Panchashath and Garuda Dandaka compositions. Garuda flanked with his consorts 'Rudra' and 'Sukirthi' can be seen worshipped in an ancient Soumya Keshava temple in Bindiganavile (or Mayura puri in Sanskrit ) in Karnataka state of India.
Garuda Vyuha is worshiped in Tantra for Abhichara and to protect against Abhichara. However, the interesting thing is that Garuda is the Sankarshna form of the lord who during creation primarily possesses the knowledge aspect of the lord (among Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha forms). The important point is that Garuda represents the five vayus within us : prana, vyana, udana, samana, brahmana through his five forms Satya, Suparna, Garuda, Tarkshya, Vihageshwara. These five vayus through yoga can be controlled through Pranayama which can lead to Kundalini awakening leading to higher levels of consciousness.
Garuda plays an important role in Krishna Avatar in which Krishna and Satyabhama ride on Garuda to kill Narakasura. On another occasion, Lord Hari rides on Garuda to save the devotee Elephant Gajendra. It is also said that Garuda's wings when flying will chant the Vedas.
The story of Garuda's birth and deeds is told in the first book of the great epic Mahabharata.[4] According to the epic, when Garuda first burst forth from his egg, he appeared as a raging inferno equal to the cosmic conflagration that consumes the world at the end of every age. Frightened, the gods begged him for mercy. Garuda, hearing their plea, reduced himself in size and energy.
Garuda's father was the creator-rishi Kasyapa. He had two wives, Vinata and Kadru, who were daughters of Prajapathi Daksha. Kasyapa, on the pleadings of his wives, granted them their wishes; Vinita wished for two sons and Kadru wished for thousand snakes as her sons. Both laid eggs, while the thousand eggs of Kadru hatched early (after steaming the eggs to hatch) into snakes, the hatching of two eggs of Vinata did not take place for a long time. Impatient, Vinata broke open one egg, which was half formed with the upper half only as a human and was thus deformed. Her half formed son cursed her that she would be slave for her sister (she was her rival) for a long time by which time her second son would be born who would save her from his curse; her first son who flew away and came to prominence as Aruna, the red spectacle seen as the Sun rises in the morning, and as also charioteer of the Sun. The second egg hatched after a long time during which period Vinata was the servant of her sister as she had lost a bet with her. When the second egg hatched, a fully grown, shining and of mighty sized bird form emerged as Garuda, the king of birds. Garuda was thus born.[5]
One day, Vinata entered into and lost a foolish bet, as a result of which she became enslaved to her sister. Resolving to release his mother from this state of bondage, Garuda approached the serpents and asked them what it would take to purchase her freedom. Their reply was that Garuda would have to bring them the elixir of immortality, also called amrita. It was a tall order. The amrita at that time found itself in the possession of the gods, who guarded it jealously, since it was the source of their immortality. They had ringed the elixir with a massive fire that covered the sky. They had blocked the way to the elixir with a fierce mechanical contraption of sharp rotating blades. And finally, they had stationed two gigantic poisonous snakes next to the elixir as deadly guardians.
Undaunted, Garuda hastened toward the abode of the gods intent on robbing them of their treasure. Knowing of his design, the gods met him in full battle-array. Garuda, however, defeated the entire host and scattered them in all directions. Taking the water of many rivers into his mouth, he extinguished the protective fire the gods had thrown up. Reducing his size, he crept past the rotating blades of their murderous machine. And finally, he mangled the two gigantic serpents they had posted as guards. Taking the elixir into his mouth without swallowing it, he launched again into the air and headed toward the eagerly waiting serpents. En route, he encountered Vishnu. Rather than fight, the two exchanged promises. Vishnu promised Garuda the gift of immortality even without drinking from the elixir, and Garuda promised to become Vishnu's mount. Flying onward, he met Indra the god of the sky. Another exchange of promises occurred. Garuda promised that once he had delivered the elixir, thus fulfilling the request of the serpents, he would make it possible for Indra to regain possession of the elixir and to take it back to the gods. Indra in turn promised Garuda the serpents as food.
At long last, Garuda alighted in front of the waiting serpents. Placing the elixir on the grass, and thereby liberating his mother Vinata from her servitude, he urged the serpents to perform their religious ablutions before consuming it. As they hurried off to do so, Indra swooped in to make off with the elixir. The serpents came back from their ablutions and saw the elixir gone but with small droplets of it on the grass. They tried to lick the droplets and thereby split their tongues in two. From then onwards, serpents have split tongues and shed their skin as a kind of immortality.
From that day onward, Garuda was the ally of the gods and the trusty mount of Vishnu, as well as the implacable enemy of snakes, upon whom he preyed at every opportunity.
According to the Mahabharata, Garuda had six sons from whom were descended the race of birds. The members of this race were of great might and without compassion, subsisting as they did on their relatives the snakes. Vishnu was their protector.[6]
Throughout the Mahabharata, Garuda is invoked as a symbol of impetuous violent force, of speed, and of martial prowess. Powerful warriors advancing rapidly on doomed foes are likened to Garuda swooping down on a serpent.[7] Defeated warriors are like snakes beaten down by Garuda.[8] The field marshal Drona uses a military formation named after Garuda.[9] Krishna even carries the image of Garuda on his banner.[10]
In Buddhist mythology, the Garuda (Pāli: garuḷā) are enormous predatory birds with intelligence and social organization. Another name for the Garuda is suparṇa (Pāli: supaṇṇa), meaning "well-winged, having good wings". Like the nāga, they combine the characteristics of animals and divine beings, and may be considered to be among the lowest devas.
The exact size of the Garuda is uncertain, but its wings are said to have a span of many miles. This may be a poetic exaggeration, but it is also said that when a Garuda's wings flap, they create hurricane-like winds that darken the sky and blow down houses. A human being is so small compared to a Garuda that a man can hide in the plumage of one without being noticed (Kākātī Jātaka, J.327). They are also capable of tearing up entire banyan trees from their roots and carrying them off.
Garudas are the great golden-winged Peng birds. They also have the ability to grow large or small, and to appear and disappear at will. Their wingspan is 330 yojanas (one yojana being 40 miles long). With one flap of its wings, a Peng bird dries up the waters of the sea so that it can gobble up all the exposed dragons. With another flap of its wings, it can level the mountains by moving them into the ocean.
There were also the four garuda-kings : Great-Power-Virtue Garuda-King, Great-Body Garuda-King, Great-Fulfillment Garuda-King, and Free-At-Will Garuda-King, each accompanied by hundreds of thousands of attendants.
The Garudas have kings and cities, and at least some of them have the magical power of changing into human form when they wish to have dealings with people. On some occasions Garuda kings have had romances with human women in this form. Their dwellings are in groves of the simbalī, or silk-cotton tree.
The Garuda are enemies to the nāga, a race of intelligent serpent- or dragon-like beings, whom they hunt. The Garudas at one time caught the nāgas by seizing them by their heads; but the nāgas learned that by swallowing large stones, they could make themselves too heavy to be carried by the Garudas, wearing them out and killing them from exhaustion. This secret was divulged to one of the Garudas by the ascetic Karambiya, who taught him how to seize a nāga by the tail and force him to vomit up his stone (Pandara Jātaka, J.518).
The Garudas were among the beings appointed by Śakra to guard Mount Sumeru and the Trāyastriṃśa heaven from the attacks of the asuras.
In the Mahasamyatta Sutta, the Buddha is shown making temporary peace between the Nagas and the Garudas.
The Thai rendering of Krut (Garuda) as Vishnu vehicle and Garuda's quest for elixir was based on Indian legend of Garuda. It was told that Garuda overcame many heavenly beings in order to gain the ambrosia (amrita) elixir. No one was able to get the better of him, not even Narai (Vishnu). At last, a truce was called and an agreement was made to settle the rancor and smooth all the ruffled feathers. It was agreed that when Narai is in his heavenly palace, Garuda will be positioned in a superior status, atop the pillar above Narai's residence. However, whenever Narai wants to travel anywhere, Garuda must serve as his transport.[citation needed]
The Sanskrit word Garuda has been borrowed and modified in the languages of several countries. In Burmese, Garudas are called galone (ဂဠုန်). In Burmese astrology, the vehicle of the Sunday planet is the galone.[11] In the Kapampangan language of the Philippines, the native word for eagle is galura. In Japanese a Garuda is called karura (however, the form Garuda ガルーダ is used in recent Japanese fiction - see below).
For the Mongols, the Garuda is called Khan Garuda or Khangarid (Mongolian: Хангарьд). Before and after each round of Mongolian wrestling, wrestlers perform the Garuda ritual, a stylised imitation of the Khangarid and a hawk.[citation needed]
In the Qing Dynasty fiction The Story of Yue Fei (1684), Garuda sits at the head of the Buddha's throne. But when a celestial bat (an embodiment of the Aquarius constellation) flatulates during the Buddha's expounding of the Lotus Sutra, Garuda kills her and is exiled from paradise. He is later reborn as Song Dynasty General Yue Fei. The bat is reborn as Lady Wang, wife of the traitor Prime Minister Qin Hui, and is instrumental in formulating the "Eastern Window" plot that leads to Yue's eventual political execution.[12] It is interesting to note The Story of Yue Fei plays on the legendary animosity between Garuda and the Nagas when the celestial bird-born Yue Fei defeats a magic serpent who transforms into the unearthly spear he uses throughout his military career.[13] Literary critic C.T. Hsia explains the reason why Qian Cai, the book's author, linked Yue with Garuda is because of the homology in their Chinese names. Yue Fei's style name is Pengju (鵬舉).[14] A Peng (鵬) is a giant mythological bird likened to the Middle Eastern Roc.[15] Garuda's Chinese name is Great Peng, the Golden-Winged Illumination King (大鵬金翅明王).[14]
In India, Indonesia and the rest of Southeast Asia the eagle symbolism is represented by Garuda, a large mythical bird with eagle-like features that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology as the vahana (vehicle) of the god Vishnu. Garuda became the national emblem of Thailand and Indonesia; Thailand's Garuda is rendered in a more traditional anthropomorphic mythical style, while that of Indonesia is rendered in heraldic style with traits similar to the real Javan Hawk-eagle.

Welcome to Consumer Evidence
How Long Does Tempurpedic Mattress Really Last Article
This is a selection made from among articles on How Long Does Tempurpedic Mattress Really Last. For a permanent link to this article, or to bookmark it for future reading, click here.
Finding Memory Foam Mattress Accessories
from: ConsumerEvidence.comThere are several memory foam mattress accessories you can purchase to help relieve pain and help with sleep problems like snoring.
A sleep mask is the first one. You place the foam in a dark cover and not only does this cover the eyes but it will conform exactly to the exact contours of your eyes.
If you drive a lot, you may want to consider a memory foam car comforter, which supports the spine and relieves pain in your back. It is added comfort for when you are on the road.
Something else to consider for traveling is the transit pillow. There are some inflatable types of these pillows being sold today but none of those versions use the same material you will find in memory foam mattresses. This pillow will cradle your neck and keeps the pillow set in place at the same time.
If you watch television or read the newspaper in bed, you may find that the bed wedge provides extra support for you and you may find it especially good for breastfeeding mothers.
You can use a bed wedge while working in an office to provide lumbar support and alleviate pressure because it fits the curvature of the spine due to variable adjustments in height and it's anatomical shape.
If you don't want to buy a full size mattress, you could purchase a bed back support. This product is very helpful for pregnant women. A topper is similar to this even though toppers are quite thin, they can provide some support and relief to your lumbar region.
You can also find memory foam accessories to support your pelvic area and your buttocks, not only your back.
A seat cushion will help you sit comfortably for longer periods by helping distribute your weight equally over the entire seat's surface.
A PC seat wedge is also available. This product will push your pelvis frontward and automatically bring your back into an upright posture.
The universal pillow is good when you need all around pressure relief and support. This pillow is semi-circular in shape and can be used behind the lumbar region or neck, under the arms, ankles or knees.
You can place a leg spacer between the knees to get relief of pressure or even under your ankles for added support.
Memory foam mattress accessories complimented each other when used together if more than one body part needs. And for those who travel a lot, you can find smaller visions that are sold in travel sets.
The manufacturers of these products will continue to research and develop new products to meet consumer needs, so it won't be long before more memory foam mattress accessories are introduced to the market. If you would like to find out more about them, you can find them at a nearby store or find out what is available online.

Best canoe For BWCA
Posted by: simonbee on Jan-16-13 10:19 PM (EST)
The most popular canoe(tandem) in the BWCA is the Wenonah Minnesota II in Kevlar. Fast canoe, light, a true lake canoe. There are several other Kevlar canoes from Wenonah, Bell, Sourie River that work just as well. I own a Wenona Itasca (19 ft, kelar)that is what i use when i go the BWCA or Quetico. If money is an issue for rental, i would go for 16 Ft RX boat. Aluminum would be my last choice just because of weigh.

i guess only the supermodel gets the fan on the red carpet. that, or her presence is that epic.
Wait, that hair style is on purpose?
it's called a nosejob. with lip injections

It seemed like it was more of a "we got the chance to have Tom Waits in our movie so we are just going to put him in there regardless if he brings nothing to the story." Unless if I missed something of course.
