PARIS. As the notion of art as an asset gains momentum again, the first stock exchange for art—on which clients can buy shares in works from galleries—is due to launch in Paris "in the next few days" according to its website. Based on a stock market model, Art Exchange will offer collectors the chance jointly to own works of art with shares available from between €10 and €100. Participating galleries are currently selling works valued at €100,000 or more, although the exchange intends to lower this figure once the company is established. "Given that we are doing something new, we had to create confidence and credibility in the investor and this is done through having high-class art works," said Caroline Matthews, the director of operations at Art Exchange. Matthews also hopes the calibre of works available will encourage naysayers to invest through the exchange. "For some people, mixing fine art and finance goes against their principles, but perhaps they will see things differently in the future," she said.
In return for a 5% commission, the exchange has the exclusive right to sell shares in a work over a period of three to six months, but if it does not sell 20% of shares within six months, the gallery recuperates what has already been sold and retains the work of art. If one collector amasses 80% of shares in a work, they have the option to buy it outright and remove the work from the exchange. Currently around half-a-dozen Parisian galleries are participating, but Matthews also wants to enter the US, UK and Chinese markets. The exchange is initially offering six works—about which it is very secretive—but these include a Mike Kelley installation valued at $1m offered by Galerie Hussenot, a work by Sol LeWitt—Irregular Form, 1998—from Yvon Lambert and a large sculpture by Richard Texier offered directly by the artist.Galleries can opt to keep the works while they are on the exchange, provided they agree to exhibit them, or Art Exchange can take charge of the works with the intention of loaning them to other institutions for display. The exchange also wants to open a gallery within six to nine months. Art Exchange says it will be completely transparent, with potential investors able to watch the price of shares fluctuate at www.aexchange.net. It is aimed at a number of different investors, according to co-founder Pierre Naquin: "We are targeting clients who are used to investing in Sicavs [collective investment schemes] or blue-chip stocks, people who are looking for tax exemptions [in France works of art are exempt from the solidarity tax on wealth], as well as banks and funds who seek to invest large sums in a variety of different assets," he says.But the question remains as to why a gallery would use an intermediary exchange when it can directly sell works without difficulty. "This may sound Utopian but we're hoping to inspire people to become collectors," says Olivier Belot, the director of Yvon Lambert gallery. "We've opted to be involved only where the works are owned by the gallery, which is more respectful towards the artists. We're not involving them in any risk." Naquin suggests the exchange will bring a new and much-needed type of collector out of the woodwork. "Galleries can test the system with very little risk," he says. "By providing a considerably more stable public index for each work [compared with auctions], the exchange is also a much easier way for galleries to justify the price of their art."Patrick Bourne, the managing director of the Fine Art Society in London, remains sceptical, although he admitted that the investment potential of art can't be ignored. "I think it's a stinker. But, while we don't like the idea of looking at art as an investment, as prices get higher people have to think about it," he says. "But financial investment is only a part of it, there has to be some sort of emotional investment as well. We like to get works into proper collections for the right reasons."

The first thing to come to my attention is that the buyer is buying stocks and not the asset until the gallery decides it is a good deal then they snap it up.If you do not manage to sell 20 % of the stock you lose control of you painting for sale I guess because that is their cost to be recovered.What is there risk.It is just a parasitic relationship for 5%,but you stand a chance of losing your art to them for zip.

Not having read the article in detail yet, to me as an artist it sounds delicious. This gives art dealers new incentive to be more open to the display of a greater variety of art and allow the public to REALLY see what is being made, instead of a very heavily guarded narrow cross section. I also hope there will be some kind of regulation in place.
15 Dec 10 14:3 CET
Will this group be regulated? Of course we all know that art dealers are highly ethical and art buyers sophisticated. Utopian is probably not the first word to come to my mind.

A police dispatcher is the first person contacted when emergency assistance is requested. Dispatchers generally work within call centers or actual police stations; while they work in shifts, the position itself is 24-7, so some may be required to work weekends or overnight shifts. They may work either alone or on teams with other dispatchers depending on the size of their department. Educational requirements are not strict, aside from a high school diploma or equivalent; initial training is available on-the-job and ongoing training is often required. Aspiring dispatchers should also be familiar with a variety of technological equipment.

Police Dispatchers with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $31K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $38K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Police Dispatchers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $40K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $42K.

Hear Cat Power, Coldplay Collab for Zach Braff on Wistful 'Wish I Was Here'
The full 'Wish I Was Here' soundtrack is out July 15
The star-studded soundtrack to Zach Braff's new film Wish I Was Here hits stores next week, and as we approach that release date, tracks from indie-folk giants like the Shins and Bon Iver continue to trickle out. Today, Cat Power and Coldplay have shared their collaborative cut "Wish I Was Here."
Braff tells NPR that the piano-driven team-up came about after Chris Martin decided he wanted a woman to sing the song.
"I thought that was a genius idea, because one of the things the film is about is a strong woman (Kate Hudson's character) becoming the matriarch of her family." explains Braff. "When Chris and I were talking, we both kind of simultaneously said, 'Cat Power.' I set her up to watch the film in her apartment. The whole time she was watching she kept texting me all the different parts she was loving. She said yes the instant it was over."
Chan Marshall recorded her vocals in New York's Electric Lady studios and Martin later added his harmonies when the band produced the track. Though recorded by Martin and his band, the stark instrumental seems to skew more toward what Marshall has done of late than any of the icy material that populates Ghost Stories. Stream "Wish I Was Here" over at NPR.

Often the answer lies between certainty as to meaningful benefit and certainty as to no benefit. Our values and clinical judgment conspire to inform the decision. That is the 21st century medical treatment act.
In my last book, I take the reader through this exercise for a number of commonly offered and commonly accepted clinical interventions. I define the clinical issue, examine the science for benefit in some detail, and contrast our analysis with that from the Cochrane Collaboration or the like. Surprises abound that have great implications for personal decision making and for policy. In the next book, low back pain provides the object lesson. Let me demonstrate how this works.
Let's examine the example of interventional cardiology. In the United States, well over a million people undergo these procedures each year for various manifestations of coronary artery disease. They are technological advances designed to overcome blocked arteries. They all have technical limitations in that the unblocking or bypassing tends to reverse itself. So there is much invested in the attempt to more permanently overcome the blockage.
There are four stents licensed for this purpose and many in the "pipeline" -- and there are many surgical approaches to bypassing. There are also thousands of trials comparing one technique with another to determine the relative fate of the unblocking.
However, I don't care about the fate of the unblocking. I care about the fate of the patient. Is the patient better off for all this technology?
That central question gets lost in the race for technological achievement. There have been strong reasons for doubt for years. Doubt is now dispelled thanks to four recent randomized controlled trials comparing such interventions with medical care without the interventions.
Three of the trials were American -- OAT, COURAGE and BARI 2D -- and one -- RITA-2 -- was European (these are all acronyms based on the type of heart disease studied). Each recruited thousands of patients and followed them for years. Each recruited a somewhat distinctive population in terms of the manifestations of their coronary artery disease (active angina, after a heart attack, angina and diabetes, etc.), but all recruited patients for whom interventional cardiology was thought to be a reasonable option.
No one, I'll say it again, NO ONE was advantaged by submitting to the intervention. They did not live longer, or have less chest pain, or suffer fewer heart attacks than they would have without the procedure.
Not long ago, I attended "Grand Rounds" at a prominent medical school where the professor and director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory was holding forth on the mechanisms by which newer stents can stay open longer. I asked him how he explains the stent option to a patient with chest pain in view of the results of OAT, COURAGE, BARI 2D and RITA-2.
He, of course, was aware of all these trials. Even though the trials recruited patients with four very typical patterns of disease, he suggested many patients do not quite fit these categories. He was willing to rely on his clinical judgment to infer that a particular patient would be advantaged because he is endowed with a special level of expertise.

NELSPRUIT, South Africa -- Burkina Faso scored midway through extra time for a 1-0 win over Togo and a place in the semifinals of the African Cup of Nations on Sunday.
Jonathan Pitroipa was unmarked from a corner in the 105th minute to head past an out-of-position Kossi Agassa and in off the crossbar, taking the Burkinabes through to the last four for just the second time -- and first since they hosted the tournament in 1998.
The goal settled a poor match on the rugged, sandy and much-criticized surface at Mbombela Stadium and ended the campaign of Emmanuel Adebayor's Togo, which was playing in its first African Cup quarterfinal.
Burkina Faso plays Ghana back at Mbombela in Nelspruit in the semifinals. Nigeria faces Mali in Wednesday's other last-four encounter in Durban.
Adebayor had two of the best chances in regulation, but his header was cleared off the line in the 47th and he couldn't beat Burkina Faso goalkeeper Daouda Diakite when clear on goal in the 78th.
Before this tournament, Burkina Faso had only made it out of the group stage once in seven appearances: in that run to the semis at home 15 years ago.
"It was a dream that came true," Burkina Faso's Belgian coach Paul Put said. "What can you say? We are very happy. We didn't expect this result. Everybody in Burkina Faso was already satisfied (with the quarters) but I told the players we are here ... and we have the opportunity to play the semifinal."
Adebayor cut an increasingly frustrated figure up front as his teammates struggled to provide him with quality chances or possession on a poor field that devalued the last quarterfinal at the Cup of Nations and could yet spoil Wednesday's second semi there.
"It was not easy because the pitch does not allow you to play very good," Put said.
Adebayor had his header hooked away by defender Sadou Panandetiguiri with inches to spare as it bounced toward goal early in the second half. The Togo captain then brushed past two defenders to carve an opening out for himself late in the second half, but Diakite rescued Burkina Faso with his block.
Other than that, there was little from either team until Pitroipa popped up to ensure Burkina Faso won without leading scorer Alain Traore, who was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with a thigh injury before Sunday's quarterfinal.

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Amid the ruins of the iconic Hotel Paracas that crumbled during an August 2007 earthquake, famed Peruvian architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia designed this new 121-room resort (part of Starwood's Luxury Collection) in the coastal desert three hours south of Lima. Two-story white bungalows whose design incorporates some $2 million of bamboo blend into the dune-filled horizon, contrasting the deep-blue waters of the Paracas National Marine Reserve. There's an earthy feel to the accommodations, with textiles modeled after pre-Columbian designs, wood floors, walls covered in bamboo, and patios that look out onto the Pacific. While the bay is better for windsurfing, the daybeds at the glitzy pool scenes, where roving waiters fetch a steady supply of passion fruit sours and seviche, have become the new it spot for Lima's well-to-do. The hotel makes a restful base for a slew of nearby adventuresyou can do scenic flights of the Nazca desert geoglyphs in its private jet, yacht rides to spot sea lions and Humboldt penguins on the Islas Ballestas, and pisco tastings at the Viñas de Oro distillery right at the resort. 2010 Hot ListWhich room to book: In addition to a small pool, the Plunge Pool Suites have two terraces with chaise longues and an outdoor grill that look out onto Paracas Bay.

Ive been looking for a rubber duckbill valve for a vented loop in a holding tank system, and it seems Buck Algonquin (www.buckalgonquin.com) has the right fitting. (My understanding is that the words joker valve and duckbill are interchangeable.)
Nigel Calder, in his book Boatowners Mechanical and Electrical Manual, makes an important point when he says A vented loop in the discharge line will allow foul odors into the boat. It is best to attach a small hose to the vent and run it overboard.
Forespar (www.forespar.com) has a replacement duckbill cap assembly (MF-841) that does not vent overboard, and they offer a vent barb assembly (MF-846) that does not have a duckbill. It seems to me that you would want a duckbill in the loop so as to not clog the holding tank vent.
For an installation where you are pumping waste overboard, Buck Algonquins vent arrangement would seem to be the right choice. The joker valve part number is 60VL75CV; it is the one used in the Buck Algonquin 00VL75 assembly.

Let us know how it works. An alternative would be to simply place a check valve in thew vent line itself. They are cheap, easier to clean, and easy to service inline; we often flush them with a hose or compressed air, and sometimes use acid for cleaning. And yes, a duck bill and a joker valve are the same thing.

Project Educate: User Friendly Journal SkinningThis article is written for fellow CSS coders who already have basic+ knowledge of deviantART journal codes. This is not a beginner's tutorial.User Friendly Journal Skin CodingI've been making journal skins on DeviantART since 2010, I'd dabbled in CSS before, but never for other people. I know what my codes are and how to use them to their full potential and often, just code on the fly when I want something to do something. But making free and commission skins here showed me that I needed to make them as easy to use as they are pretty. And really, who wants to type in a lot of extra HTML when they go to write a journal? It is easy enough to access the artist's comments.But even then, copy & paste, memorize that.... It can be a lot to deal with if you do not know CSS and HTML. Which is the reason most people get someone else's skin design in the firs

Why credit and notify?Hi all,It's your friendly neighborhood Photomanipulation and Stock & Resources CVs here, eager to tell you about a problem that has become increasingly common not only in the photomanipulation community, but also in other communities throughout dA. The problem is that people are neglecting to credit AND notify stock providers that they have used their materials. What is the overall rule and guidance about crediting your stock?If you want to use other people's resources (including but not limited to stock photographs, brushes, and presets), dA requires that you exactly follow the rules of usage that those individuals lay out in their license or stock rules. That invariably means that you must CREDIT them with a link to their homepage at least, and NOTIFY the providers by sending them a link to your deviation, preferrably by note. Some providers require a direct link to the exact image or resource t
January's Complaint Challenge - DDsIntroductionThis activity is part of my year-long project to address complaints from the dA community. January's complaint is Daily Deviations!"I find that the DD system needs to be expanded. Why? Sadly, it has become the only major channel on this site for artists and writers to receive exposure, and the selection choices are limited. On my journal, =Flyvapnet wrote that '[i]t smacks of a good-old-boys system, wherein Deviations are considered for recognition only if they're suggested by those who have an in-crowd relationship with someone in the award-giving hierarchy'. There are great artists out there who don't have any exposure simply because they can't get DDs, and the selections are biased: for example, they almost never include parts of novels. Offering more artists this exposure would help DA with what
CSS Tricks: Responsive dA?If you are at least slightly into web design and/or using mobile devices to browse, you should have come across the term "Responsive Webdesign". Basically it means that a website is set up in a way so it gives the best browsing experience no matter on what device you are viewing it.One term that is often mentioned along with it are "Fluid Designs". This usually refers to web sites that use % instead of px values to define sizes inside the layout.This necessary trend in web design made me think about the deviantART.com layout. Because it is a design that has been working responsive for several years! You can test this by going to any place on dA and changing your browser window. You will notice how the ratio of all elements in width remains the same no matter how wide the browser window.Now that we know that dA is responsive, we will soon find out that there is a responsive element inside dA, which reacts in first instance to the page on dA you are and in second instance to the brows

Abbie Cornish Would do Anything For Klondike: Limitless and Sucker Punch star Abbie Cornish has officially joined Discovery's first scripted mini-series, Klondike.

Instead, Klondike will follow "the lives of two childhood best friends, Bill and Epstein, in the late 1890s as they undertake the next, gold rush capital in the untamed Yukon Territory. This man-versus-nature tale places our heroes in a land full of undiscovered wealth, but ravaged by harsh conditions, unpredictable weather and desperate, dangerous characters including greedy businessmen, seductive courtesans and native tribes witnessing the destruction of their people and land by opportunistic entrepreneurs." Cornish will play the female lead, Belinda.

Want to keep up on what's happening with efforts around the country to help save libraries? There's a great new site for that, appropriately named Save Libraries. Their motto is "When one library is in trouble, ALL libraries are in trouble." This project is being run by Lori Reed and Heather Braum. They can't do this alone and are looking for additional help creating and maintaining the content on this site.
Save Libraries is a grassroots effort to compile information about libraries in need of our support. Save Libraries will aggregate information about current advocacy efforts, archive advocacy efforts, and provide links to resources for libraries facing cuts. The project began barely two weeks ago, and is already attracting attention.
Please email us at savelibs (at) gmail (dot) com for questions, comments, or concerns. Please tag your Web content with savelibraries to make it easier for us to find and collect it.
Kudos to none other than our own Blake Carver and LISHost.org for donating hosting for this site and getting WordPress up and running within minutes. This site is dedicated to advocacy for libraries–getting the message out about why libraries are important.
We're looking for advocacy information, testimonials from patrons and staff, photos, videos, anything to help save our libraries. Please pitch in!! Use the tag savelibraries or #savelibraries on Twitter. If you would like to contribute to this site please email [email protected].
It's next week! This theme for this annual event is "Communities Thrive". Here's what we've found for events around the country:

By Molly Skeen
Some people use and support the public library, no matter what. They visit the library regularly, borrow books, take the kids to story time, join the Friends, and visit new libraries on vacation. Let's call them the Fans.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are people who never use the library, no matter what. They have their reasons. We could call these the Frosties. Between the two extremes, there's a broad range of library use patterns.
Here are some numbers taken from a 2006 study titled Long Overdue: A Fresh Look at Public and Leadership Attitudes About Libraries in the 21st Century. When asked how many times they visited a library in the previous year, survey respondents replied with these frequencies: Not at all - 27% 1-5 times - 15% 6-10 times - 11% 11-25 times - 16%
How can we convert library Frosties to Fans? And how can we engage the people who use the library once a year to use it more often? I'm convinced that a great many of the Frosties have needs and interests that could be met at the library, but they are simply unaware of specific services that could help them.
In libraryland, there are a lot of statistics that are measured: door counts, circulation of items, computer uses, reference questions, and so forth and so on. As I was getting ready for the end of the year marketing committee for my library system, I couldn't help but think about some of the things that cannot be tracked. Specially, I wondered about the number of conversation opportunities that are missed by staff members.
Gig Harbor, WA: When Marie Bassett received a phone call from the Pierce County Library System telling her she had won a free laptop computer, she first thought it was a hoax.
Bassett filled out a little piece of paper when she renewed her library card a while back, but she had forgotten about it.
The countywide library system held a raffle for two laptops during its annual card drive, and Gig Harbor's Bassett won one of them.
"It was a funny story," she said. "I went to have my library card renewed, and they had me fill out this little slip of paper. I said, 'What do you want me to do with this?' "
Bassett said she regularly checks out items at the library with her husband, and she decided to get her own card updated. "I thought, 'That's dumb. I might want to go without him some time,' " she said. "It's ironic, because I'm really a raffle nut, but I had totally forgotten I had filled out this slip."
Winning the laptop turned out to be perfect timing for Bassett, who recently lost her job.
"It was a heartbreaker," she said. "It was truly a dream job. I thought I was going to be there forever."
Nonetheless, Bassett hopes to turn bad luck around. "Now I think I want to start my own bookkeeping business," she said. "This laptop is so timely."
Mary Simun did not enjoy reading as a child. But in college, she discovered her love of reading, and hasn't stopped yet.
To make up for lost time, Simun spends her Friday afternoons volunteering at the Friends of the Redondo Beach Public Library store. Friends of the Library is a non-profit organization that supports libraries nationwide. The Redondo Beach chapter was established in 1985 to provide resources not covered in the city budget. Diane Chillington, the personnel coordinator of this chapter, said the Redondo Beach library has become slightly more dependent on the Friends since the economic downturn last year.

...thanks to Andy W. for the tip
A New Jersey librarian's (LISNews' VERY OWN ANDY W!!!) lighthearted Facebook petition for a Ben & Jerry's library-themed ice cream flavor might just come to fruition -- or should that be chocolate-swirl-ition? Launched in early June, the petition has picked up momentum as summer temperatures have risen -- there are currently more than 4,800 members in the group, and folks from as far away as Canada and England have volunteered flavor ideas. If you haven't joined the facebook group yet...DO IT NOW!
Suggestions included Gooey Decimal System (dark chocolate alphabet letters with caramel swirls in hazelnut ice cream), Rocky Read (vanilla with chocolate-covered nuts, chocolate chunks and raisins) and Sh-sh-sh-Sherbet! (either lime or chocolate/vanilla).
But, like an autodidact left free to roam the stacks, later ideas have strayed from the original to embrace anything bookish, related to authors or reading or titles.
More from the LA Times Blog.
[Kudos to Andy! He's most likely a dynamite librarian, but he's also got the right stuff for marketing. Libraries need that, now more than ever.]

Feedback & Requested Changes
The following represents my feedback regarding the current state of STO and some tweaks which could hopefully be minor updates with immediate/large improvements to game play. Please keep this thread with constructive feedback.
1.) Duty Officer (DOF) Assignments: Increase the maximum number of DOF Assignments In Progress by +12 per each ?Duty Officer Roster Slots-100? or by +3 per each ?Duty Officer Roster Slots-25? purchased from the C-Store; making for a maximum of 54 assignments in progress at a roster size of 300.
2.) Starfleet/Klingon Academy: Provide cool-down timers for DOF Recruitment Assignments (for all 4 of the various Personnel Officers at each academy).
3.) DOF Assignment Chains, Biological Investigations (Gamma Quadrant Commodity Chains): Make the subsequent steps in these assignment chains always available shipboard once a chain has been started.
4.) DOF Assignment, Resettle Colonists: Make this assignment always available at a major starbase (SOL, DS9, K7, etc.); it is too critical to obtaining Colonists for the many colonial missions to not be readily available. The scarcity of this mission makes it difficult to do Colonial assignments.
5.) Bridge Officers (BO), Candidate Roster: Increase the maximum number of officers in our Bridge Officer Candidates list; preferably make it unlimited (see the next item as to why).
6.) Bridge Officers, Inventory: Make Bridge Officers directly transferable to inventory and allow them to be moved around once in our inventories (also allowing them to be put in various bank spaces, especially the fleet bank). Currently, they can wind up in inventory if you receive a BO while your Candidate Roster is full but then it is stuck in a specific inventory slot until you return them to the candidate list; many people have taken to e-mailing or returning BO?s from the Exchange in order to put them in to inventory since the Candidate roster is so limiting.
7.) Item Currency: Put all currency in the Assets tab of our inventory. Contradictory to previous STO announcements, we continue to get new forms of currency that take up inventory space. Please move these to our Assets tab (i.e. Lobi Crystals, Encrypted Data Chips, Borg Salvage, Reman Datalogs, Computer Core Fragment, bound Defera Invasion Resources, etc.); some of these may arguably be ?items? but when it comes down to it they are currency for a special vendor.
8.) Account Bank: I know this one is ahead of the full release of this bank space but I really hope that any character on an account will automatically pull items from the account bank if a required item is not in the personal bank space when there is a need to fulfill requirements for a DOF assignment (just like it pulls now from the personal bank space).
9.) Account Bank: Again, ahead of the full release but I really hope Tribbles will not breed in this bank space (as in the fleet bank space).
10.) Deuterium Surplus: Increase the stack size of this consumable to at least 20 (currently at 5).
11.) Consumables: Increase the stack size of all consumables (batteries, hypos, food, etc.) to 250; matching commodities and resources.
12.) Pets: Have all non-combat pets stored only on our Skills menu, rather than take up inventory space.
13.) Fireworks: Have this item stored in our Skills menu, rather than take up inventory space.

15.) Azura Personal Comm Code: Have this item stored in our Skills menu, rather than take up inventory space.
16.) STF, Prototype Borg Tech: Make this item always rolled for on Greed/Need rather than given to a specific player. We often run STF?s as a Fleet and many times the same person receives the tech over and over again while the other players get skunked (we have one player with 6 mark XII deflectors while the rest of his team (regular same group) has received a combined total of 1 deflector).
17.) Tribbles: Given the work necessary to breed end-tier Tribbles (Nielson, Yu, Zinc, Daxter, Griffis), they should have their specific boosts increased to be more beneficial and equivalent to the now widely available Very Rare Tribbles; these Tribbles have fallen into greater disuse since their stats were ?normalized? (i.e. there is no good reason to breed them anymore).
18.) Environmental Suits: I was happy to see on the Tribble Test Server that there are new environmental suites with various defensive stats for Season 6. Given the high Dilithium cost of the suits sold at the asteroid by Brol, they should have their stats increased; it is just not worth the really high expenditure for a color but having increased stats reflecting the next higher tier would make the purchase acceptable.

And like his music, the rocking black head-to-toe will never go out of style, which is why you can see Cash rocking all-black in the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s with equal success and badass-ness.

Oscar winning Director James Cameron speaks during his participation at the TagDF, an event on music, film, gaming and digital art in Mexico City, Wednesday, July 3, 2013. (AP Photo/Eduardo Verdugo) ORG XMIT: MIN2013070916323522
The King speaks
Even James Cameron is complaining about the ubiquity of three-dimensional movies. "I do not think Hollywood is using the 3-D properly," he says, calling it "too automatic. It's one thing to shoot in 3-D and another to convert to 3-D," he said. Cameron called out two of the biggest moneymakers of the season as transgressors: " 'Man of Steel,' 'Iron Man 3' and all those movies should not necessarily be in 3-D. If you spend $150 million on visual effects, the film is already going to be spectacular." Mind you, Cameron's not going to stop using it, because he does it right.
The final reel
When Will Smith (age 44) replaced Ben Affleck (age 40) in"Focus," Kristen Stewart (age 23) bowed out, citing the too-large age difference between her and Smith. Replacing her is Margot Robbie, also 23. … Joseph Gordon-Levitt is rumored to be Doctor Strange in an upcoming Marvel movie. … From action movie to soap opera? The title of the Tom Cruise-Emily Blunt film "All You Need Is Kill" has been changed to "Edge of Tomorrow." … Ron Howard and Tom Hanks are on board for "Angels & Demons," set for release Dec. 18, 2015. … Reese Witherspoon will star in "Wild," based on Cheryl Strayed's bestseller.

Linsanity Is Alive: Don't Stop the Presses
NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- When Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks rose to fame in February, novelist and ghostwriter Alan Goldsher wasted no time putting together a biography on the NBA's newest sensation. His e-book Linsanity: The Improbable Rise of Jeremy Lin was published by Vook on Feb. 20.
But Goldsher made no plans to release a print version of his e-book in the U.S.
"This project was all about immediacy, and the speed of its production was what made it special," said Goldsher. "If we used a traditional print model for a Jeremy Lin bio, the turnaround time would have been, at the very least, three months, but probably more like six, so we'd be looking at an October release date."

I've used a ton of screamers in my day and find the pod screamer to be very very good! If yours is that much better, then you are a very lucky person! But I bet you can't control the drive with your expression pedal, the output with the exp2 and the treble with the tone knob on your guitar (assuming you are using a Variax)
Posted 05 June 2013 - 02:45 PM
I found my old two pedals noisy as, probably failing components in them.
You might also try bringing the outs from the pedals to the loop return on the HD and place your FX Loop where ever you like. It might be that some noise and tone suck is running the pedals straight to the HD's Pre Amp when really the pedals are like a pre amp.
Don't know for sure but worth trying the configuration.

US Secret Service startled by lizards

United States Secret Service agents were taken aback on seeing large water monitors wandering the grounds of Government House during security inspections yesterday ahead of US President Barack Obama's visit.
They mistook them for the ferocious, carnivorous komodo dragons found in parts of Indonesia, a Government House source said.
Thai officials calmed their nerves, explaining to them the creatures are relatively harmless.

4 I've seen a lot worsePosted: 09/05/2012This is not a bad film,it kept me entertained and you could see how something like this,however unlikely,could happen.Certainly worth the price.

5 This book got me started on Laurie LeePosted: 24/12/2011An absolute gem,loved it from start to finish and subsequently went on to read the two follow up books.I know this was written some years after his journey but he manages to capture 'that moment in time' perfectly.This is a book about the awakening of a young man through travel and also an interesting historical document of 1930s Spain.

1 The Killing (US Version)Posted: 11/10/2011Don't bother with this,compared to the Danish version it's absolute rubbish.In every way the characters and story line are far superior in the original.Unfortunately I watched the US version first;don't waste your time,learn another language,the guitar,paint the front room instead.

I believe in words. I believe in voices, the unique cries of human beings as they pour their soul out into the sky. But most of all, I believe in stories.
Stories, be they written or spoken or painted onto the walls of caves, reaffirm our humanity. They give us back our own heartbeat, that dull pulse of blood, but more than that they give us our minds. They let us reach back and see where we've been, what we felt, what we believed. They form a mirror, let us see who we are, who we were.
And I believe that everyone has a story that deserves to be heard. But more and more I'm seeing that only some stories get told. You have books for children fully admitting that people have different bodies…but where is the admission of different minds? Why do no main characters have mental illness, or attention deficit, autism or dyslexia? Where are the movies about synesthetes, those with OCD, those battling depression?
This is not just a problem of children's literature, it extends across all literature, all media. That crucial world of our inner landscapes, if deemed inferior, atypical, is all too often silenced. And this silence rings loud in the ears of those individuals who find their stories untold. It tells them that their unique set of experiences, the entire world they gather in their hands and eyes and ears, is nothing worthy of hearing or seeing. It prolongs the silence and the suffering of those who battle with their own struggles with no ear or eye to turn to, forcing them back into the shadows and robbing them of their dignity.
But we all have minds and we all live out our own stories. We all have voices worthy of being heard. It is time we start letting them be told.

Interferon stimulated genes are associated with peginterferon plus ribavirin treatment response regardless IL28B alleles in HCV/HIV coinfected patients
Rallon NI, Lopez-Fernandez LA, Garcia MI, Benguria A, Fiorante S, Soriano V, Benito JM. AIDS. 2012 Nov 28. [Epub ahead of print]
Infectious Diseases Department, Hospital Carlos III, Madrid Pharmacogenetic Laboratory, Hospital Gregorio Marañón, Madrid Genomics Unit, Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), Madrid European University, Madrid, Spain. *These authors contributed equally to this work.
The interaction between interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) expression, IL28B genotypes and hepatitis C treatment outcomes has been mainly evaluated in the liver tissue from HCV-monoinfected patients but with controversial results. Herein, we examined whether more easily accessible peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) could be used for this purpose in HIV-HCV-coinfected patients, a population in whom HCV-induced liver disease progression occurs more rapidly and treatment response is lower.
Gene expression profiles were examined using the human whole genome Agilent microarray platform in PBMCs collected from HIV/HCV-coinfected patients that had completed a course of peginterferon/ribavirin therapy with validated outcomes. Patients were split out according to the achievement of sustained virological response (SVR) and IL28B rs12979860 genotypes. The GeneSpringGX software was used to select genes differentially expressed in the different groups.
Nineteen HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy and having undetectable plasma HIV-RNA were examined. Global gene expression profiles showed 42 genes differentially expressed according to treatment outcome and 56 according to IL28B genotype. Common genes were not found and functions differed for genes belonging to either group. Whereas at least 26/37 repressed genes (70.3%) in SVR patients were ISGs, none of the 56 differentially expressed genes in carriers of distinct IL28B variants were ISGs (p < 0.0001).
Baseline expression of ISGs in PBMCs from HCV/HIV coinfected patients influence the response to peginterferon/ribavirin therapy, regardless IL28B genotypes. PBMC specimens can reliably be used for evaluating ISGs expression in clinical practice.

It's powerful entertainment. [22 Sept 1992, p.A16(E)]
Simultaneously heroic and nihilistic, reeking of myth but modern as they come, it is a Western for those who know and chrish the form, a film that resonates with the spirit of films past while staking out a territory quite its own. [7 Aug 1992]
Clint Eastwood has crafted a tense, hard-edged, superbly dramatic yarn that is also an exceedingly intelligent meditation on the West, its myths and its heroes.
This dark, melancholic film is a reminder -- never more necessary than now -- of what the American cinema is capable of, in the way of expressing a mature, morally complex and challenging view of the world. [7 Aug 1992]
Unforgiven questions the rules of a macho genre, summing up and maybe atoning for the flinty violence that made Eastwood famous. [10 Aug 1992]
But in the genre, as both a movie and a conscious addition to the ongoing celluloid Western mythology, the film is a masterpiece, a stunning and awe-inspiring statement.
Under its leathery hide is a genuine compulsion to de-romanticize Western gunfighting. Every bullet in this movie matters, and by the end Munny's alcohol-fuelled, satanic purposefulness is shocking: in the climax, even his choice of victims has a crazy excess. [10 Aug 1992, p.70]
The cast is universally strong. Hackman, Freeman and Harris don't do anything they haven't done before, but the roles suit their personae to a degree where they approach archetypal status.
Unforgiven is the most provocative western of Eastwood's career, and with Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris along for the ride, it's also the most potently acted.
Exults in the hard-riding romanticism of classic Westerns, but it takes revisionist stock too. It dismounts at places usually left in the dust -- the oppressed lot of women, the loneliness of untended children, adult illiteracy and the horrible last moments of the dying.
It's the actor/director's best movie - and the best Western by anybody in over 20 years. [7 Aug 1992]
If Unforgiven occasionally overstates its case, this is the best work Eastwood has done as a director since The Outlaw Josey Wales 16 years ago.
It is the last great Western ever made, and it will always remain so.
Unforgiven... never quite fulfills the expectations it so carefully sets up. It doesn't exactly deny them, but the bloody confrontations that end the film appear to be purposely muted, more effective theoretically than dramatically.
Plays out its drama with enough old-fashioned sobriety to lend the proceedings a classical air, offering the comfort of familiarity rather than the thrill of discovery. [13 Aug 1992]
Each character in David Webb Peoples' dense, unexpectedly stately, non- violent script (the inevitable gore is employed sparingly) is treated with that same, somewhat distanced clarity.
As enjoyable as most of Unforgiven is, Eastwood's shades-of-gray moralism feels like a whitewash.
As a moral reconsideration of the role of violence in previous Eastwood films, this is strong and sure, and characters who play against genre expectations give the film a provocative aftertaste. The only limitation, really, is that the picture hasn't much dramatic urgency apart from its revisionist context.
Though the movie is riddled with memorable scenes of violence, its pace is slow -- too slow. It has an epic sprawl, but it's not an epic. It's more like a bloated fairy tale. [7 Aug 1992]
If Eastwood had any emotional depth as an actor, the character's anguish might come through.
At the last, we're left with a film that tries to doll up a conventional genre with hints of depth, hoping to disguise the cross-dressing by putting it in the shape of an epic. Murnau, Mizoguchi, Ford, even you authors of the Book of Genesis, rest easy. [12 Oct 1992]
