The eXperiment
Horror-action short movie, that I shot using a small Canon S110.
Horror-action short movie, that I shot using a small Canon S110.
I was close on getting a Panasonic LX100 for its 4k video, but then I found a deal at Amazon for the Canon S110, for just $180 (1/5th of the LX100's price). The S110 doesn't have 4k or full manual control, but it does have the bare minimum to be able to shoot nice videos: exposure compensation & lock, manual focus, flat colors, an ND filter, and 1080/24p at a good bitrate. If you half-press the shutter button, it also gives you the shutter speed, so you might be able to lock the exposure at a shutter speed close to 1/48th, to achieve an even more filmic look. The camera has a larger sensor and faster lens than most P&S cameras, so for the price, it was a steal. I haven't shot anything interesting with it yet, but so far, I like what I'm seeing.
I've been a vocal supporter of Canon in the past, both for their dSLRs and their P&S cameras, but rest assured, these days are over. Canon is left behind in dSLRs when it comes to video, while they consciously removed existing video features from their new P&S (exposure lock and custom colors are now omitted from most new P&S), making them utterly useless. I sincerely can not recommend any new cheap Canon P&S anymore for video, while their 3 year old models performed better in terms of feature-set.
Sony has made some evolutionary steps in the right direction, but it's Panasonic who has come to its own with their 4/3s cameras (particularly the GH4), and their P&S line. Their latest offering, of their popular LX line, is the LX100, arguably the best P&S ever. It comes with a large 4/3s sensor, a very fast f1.7 lens (with a 43mm thread to add filters!), 24p/30p/60p frame rate, 100 mbps bitrate at 4k resolution (!), full manual control, and some color control too.
Basically, it makes it the perfect video camera for indie filmmakers who don't want to bother with lenses (e.g. if they shoot guerrilla-style all over the place), while retaining the large sensors found in dSLR-type cameras. The 4k quality you're going to get for $900 is unparalleled too.
Now, if you don't want to bother with 4k editing (which can be slow), then the tiny Canon EOS-M mirrorless camera is still the best bet (coming with all the video features one would expect from a Canon dSLR). It's now selling for about $230 on eBay, as new, which makes it very cheap for what is capable of. You'd still need to buy 2-3 lenses for it though. Overall, with a wide prime, and a cheap zoom you're probably be paying about $500. Which is still cheaper than the LX100's $900. But you don't get 4k or the ease of mind of using a P&S.
Personally, for the type of videos I shoot (art-type stuff), these are my best options right now.
I've written 1-2 such articles in the past, keeping the cost below $500. But this article actually aims to acquire professional-looking results, and so you'd need about $1500+tax for that. Which is still dirt-cheap if you think about it. You will also need a minimum of two people as crew, to help you with the shoot (in addition to the actors). One will have to take care of the audio part, and the other one the lighting, clapper, and decor, while you're shooting and directing.
Camera + lens: Canon EOS M + 22mm kit lens: $325
Best video camera for the money. It outperforms others in the sub-$500 range in bitrate, fps choice, color control, audio controls etc. And it comes with a really good lens! You will have to shoot with a "flat" color profile to get the best out of the camera (install the Technicolor CineStyle), and you will need to disable continuous autofocus in the settings.
Additional lens: 18-55mm STM kit lens, $130
If you're going to have a second lens, this one is also very good and versatile for the price! These two lenses made for the EOS M are both very good.
0.6 ND filter: 43mm Tiffen: $15
0.4 ND filter: 52mm Tiffen: $10
ND filter for the two lenses when shooting under bright sun. Lets you open up the aperture more!
43mm lens hood for 22mm lens: $9
52mm lens hood for zoom lens: $8
Avoid sun flares for the two lenses.
Lens cleaning kit: $10
Trust me, you don't want dust on your footage!
Two UV filters, at 43mm and 52mm for the two lenses: $10 both
This is mostly about protection of the front glass rather than anything else. Modern cameras don't really need cutting down UV.
Class-10 SDHC cards: 32GB, 5 of them: $100
Always backup after finishing shooting to a laptop & external drive (double backup).
Batteries: Opteka LP-E12 2000mAh: 7 of them, $100
You only have 30-40 minutes of video recording on these batteries, so you'll need quite a few.
Fluid-head tripod: $45
The tripod head must be fluid for video panning.
Revo SR-1000 Shoulder Support Rig: $80
For run & gun or action sequences.
Revo Stabilizer: $140
If you must follow the subject down the alley or through a house, that's the accessory you need.
Audiotechnica Mono Microphone: $55
This is a good mic for the money. You convert to stereo in post-processing (Sony Vegas can do this). If you want an even better mic, you can go for this Senal one, for $99. Finally, have extra batteries for your mics.
Wind muff (aka "dead cat"): $29
For the times that there's a lot of wind while shooting.
Boom pole: $49
Must-have accessory if you're serious about audio. Forget mounting the microphone on the camera and be done with it. It will never sound right that way. You need a "booman" to hold the pole close to the actors.
Headphones: $30
For monitoring while shooting. If you're recording audio via the camera, you're wearing the headphones. If you're recording via an external recorder, the booman is to wear the headphones.
3.5mm extension cable: $9
This one is good for 25ft (7.6 meters). Please note that if the cable touches itself while tangled, or other electrical cables, you might get audio noise.
Audio monitoring splitter: $26
So you can monitor via headphones while recording (since the camera has only one jack).
Microphone Attenuation Cable: $35
To cut off noise that is usual on non-phantomed 3.5mm mics, especially when using such long extension cables.
Lights: $134
Lights and audio are more important than how good your camera is. They literally "make" your movie. There are various tutorials online on lighting. If you have the extra money, prefer this model instead, which has a third, "fill" light. If you need more, or less light than these light bulbs provide in a shooting situation, you can purchase and use different watt bulbs.
Reflector: $17
To stop shiny, unprofessional-looking faces. Get your actors to do their own make-up btw. Ask them to bring their own clothes, but you will need to instruct them as to what kind of clothes, and what color.
Reflector Holder Arm: $32
Reflector stand: $21
Spring Clamps: $8
So you can clamp the lights/reflector in more places for more interesting lighting looks.
Light meter: $50
It helps you figure out how to be consistent between shots regarding lighting, especially outdoors where the light varies with time.
Clapper Board: $5
Important, especially if you're recording audio externally and need to sync audio in post-processing.
Gaffer tape: $13
Even NASA uses tape, it's one of these things you should always have around. Also useful to place it on the ground, so actors know where to stand while shooting.
Food for cast & crew: $50
A lot of people would be willing to come and help your movie for free, but they get grumpy and they lose interest easily if they're not fed. This is a known fact among filmmakers: always feed your cast & crew.
Canon EOS lens adapter: $100, or from Fotodiox for $60 (some claim that it doesn't support IS).
This allows you to mount the rest of the Canon lenses (and with an additional adapter, Nikon-mount lenses), should you already have such lenses lying around.
Macro: Raynox DCR-250: $70
It lets you shoot macro on the cheap, should you need such shots for your movie.
External Recording: Tascam: $100
This is only useful if you have a dedicated audio guy, rather than just a booman. If you record via the camera, you, the shooter+director, will do the audio monitoring. But if you buy this, you will need the guy who holds the boom pole+mic to actually control the audio recording too, and he needs to have a good clue of what he's doing. Otherwise, skip this, it will be a hindrance rather than a feature. Audio, just as lighting, is not easy to master.
Lavalier mic: $20
It's tricky to use one of these between two or more actors, but some shots might require it. Don't use more than one of these mics though, or you'd get into audio-mixer hell.
Sandbags: $24
So the light stands don't trip over so easily.
Rails + follow-focus: $265 + $200
You don't really need these, but hey. Let's indulge!
Sony's Vegas Pro 12 was released a few weeks ago, and in my opinion, this is the most substantial update the application has seen between major releases in the last few years.
I've been using the application for a few weeks now, and aside from a few bumps that I expect to be ironed out in free updates, it delivered the goods as expected.
Here is a sum of the new features:
– The explorer view now supports back and froward and smart tags. Very handy for those who like to be tidy.
– Now you can change the properties of multiple files at once! That's one of the things that was very painful for me back when I used to use Cineform AVIs, and Vegas used to get wrong their field order.
– Smart proxies. If you don't own a fast CPU or an OpenCL graphics card, you can still edit fast using proxies. Vegas can automatically create them, you edit with them, and then it exports using the original, high quality version.
– Layer Dimensionality is a new plugin, similar to Photoshop's Layer styles.
– There's an A-B roll style editing now for those who need more precision over their frames, overlaps etc.
– New shortcuts to trim the beginning or the end of a clip in a single stroke (before, you had to press "S", and then manually delete the event).
– A new plugin for color matching two different events/shots.
– LAB Adjust and L*a*b* Color Space Histogram, which works in conjunction to the Color matching plugin.
– Most of the audio plugins have now being ported to 64bit.
– You can send/receive project files from Avid, FCP7/X, DaVinci, Premiere and After Effects CS6. I tried this with Premiere, it worked wonderfully for simple projects.
– You can change the shape of a mask.
These are pretty much some of the features I always wanted from Vegas Pro, and there are here now. This is the most powerful release to date. The only three features missing for me are: a color plugin like the freeware (but buggy) AAV ColorLab, the ability to "re-light" a scene, and automatic tracking. Hopefully in Vegas Pro 13!
Finally, in addition to Vegas Pro 12, Sony release a package called "Visual Effects Suite 2″, which includes the very capable HitFilm 2.
If you've been reading this blog for a few years now, you KNOW how I had been a Canon fan girl for their consumer digicams in terms of video. Their previous digicam non-DSLR cameras were steadily getting better and better video controls, and that was something to cheer for. They were outperforming all other manufacturers by getting the *basics* of video right: exposure compensation, exposure lock, custom low colors, good frame rates at good bitrates, and some models even had manual focus and focus lock.
I was even, unfairly, called biased by certain people, for pushing these Canon digicams. But I'm not biased about hardware, I'm a hard realist. There were definite, true, and important reasons why I'd suggest Canon in the past (if your goal was artistic videography).
Well, the newer Canon cameras, starting last year, weaned off such abilities! FEATURES WERE REMOVED one by one, model by model. We are now at the point where the expensive, high end P&S digicam S110 does not even have exposure compensation/lock. This is obviously done so their more expensive dSLRs sell better, and their camcorder department doesn't die. It's an ARTIFICIAL way of keeping business afloat. That's not what the market wants, it's what Canon wants. Consider that the video section on the S110 manual WAS REMOVED too. Yup, removed. Where there used to be a whole chapter on video usage in the manual (in EVERY ONE of their P&S models), now there's *none*.
For all that is worth, I can not suggest Canon to anyone anymore, when it comes to video mode in P&S digicams. What makes it even worse is that the other digicam manufacturers haven't step up to the challenge to take over what Canon left behind. Most of the cameras from the other manufacturers also miss exposure compensation & lock, or they use fucked up frame rates. When it comes to semi-serious videography with these pocket cameras, they ALL SUCK, even if that was NOT the case 2 years ago!
I mean, they got to the point where they offered 1080/24p and 720/30p at good bitrates last year. What they should have done this year is to keep the old features and push their frame rates to 1080/30p/25p/24p and 720/50p/60p (just like in their dSLR range). I'm not asking for other crazy features here, neither I'm asking for full manual control. But when they go out on purpose and they remove the most basic of controls, exposure compensation and exposure lock, something that has been there since early 2000s, there's something sinister at work there.
So, what to do? Get a dSLR or micro-thirds camera that happens to have the whole nine yards when it comes to video. Or if you prefer a camcorder, get the ones that cost over $1000 that also come with the whole nine yards. Since you can't go for a good-enough $200 P&S digicam for video, shell the cash and get something appropriate for over $1000. At least you won't be ripped off by buying a P&S digicam for $500 and not even get the video features that were present in a $100 Canon digicam just 2 years ago! So my suggestion is, either go all in, or try to find older models, second hand.
I personally still use my older, SX230, which is the BEST small camera for live shows, amazing mic quality on loud shows, and it still has all the other needed video features too. But it's not the best in terms of other things (e.g. it has a slow lens). The S100 from last year is also good video feature-wise (if you ignore its hardware faults), the last of its range to support all the basic video stuff that are needed to make a video look professional, and not like a piece of shit cellphone video.
And let's not forget that Canon only announced the full HDMI-out for the 5D MkIII recently after a third party firmware group said that they hacked in that feature. So basically, someone has to squeeze Canon's balls before they actually offer what their hardware CAN do, but they refuse to put the software behind it to support it. Even if HDMI support might have engineering costs, this is not a case of "software costs" to the video features mentioned above, because the software for the specific features WAS ALREADY THERE. Instead, they've been CONSCIOUSLY removing them PROGRESSIVELY. As in, a strategy.
So, fuck you Canon, you are corporate shills and you suck donkey balls.
Update: The S110 manual I had access at the time of the writing did not mention video, but the updated manuals did, and they do mention exposure compensation and locking for the S110. The issues do remain for most of their newest P&S models though.
Blender is an open source 3D package, very powerful for its price (free). The Blender Project premiered recently their 4th "open" movie (free source footage, project files etc), titled "Tears of Steel". The Blender community has been very positive about it after seeing Blender's abilities on a real movie, rather than in pure animation. The shot tracking is very good (an Achilles' heel previously for Blender), but I personally did not like the quality of the VFX or the animation (let alone the acting/script/direction, but these are beside the point here).
The CGI still looks like VFX animation and not realistic. It looks fake. Camera tracking is good, modelling seems ok, but lighting and animation aren't. There are no shadows to talk about, everything it's too HDR-ish. If that's what Blender can do in 2012, then color me unimpressed. That's no Hollywood-worthy CGI. And let's not forget that this movie was produced by the Blender guys themselves, with hand-picked Blender artists.
Unfortunately, that quality is not even good enough for TV anymore. Sure, there have been worse VFX on TV than what Blender can do, for example the re-imagined version of "V", but thing is, there have been better ones too. Back in 2010, Stargate:Universe had some amazing VFX in some episodes, more realistic than anything I've seen on TV, before or after. An even more important point for TV is the time it takes to do things with the app (since their deadlines are extremely strict). Blender is not that easy to use, Maya can do better in almost half the time.
That doesn't mean that Blender is useless. It's not. You can't beat its price and features in the advertising sector (which doesn't require extreme realism, it mostly needs some animation tricks), schools (for obvious reasons), or as a hobbyist artist. Blender can also prove to be a life-saver for indie filmmakers who primarily have the time to deal with Blender (rather than the money to buy other packages). So it's got its uses in the world.
It's just that I don't see it being able to compete for Hollywood movies and serious TV shows. It kind of echoes The Gimp, actually. Good-enough to doodle around, good-enough to do something worthwhile if you have the extra time, but if you're really serious, you better get Photoshop.
Unofficial music video for John Maus' track "Lost" from his album "A Collection of Rarities and Previously Unreleased Material".
Original video footage by Rowan Lee Hartsuiker. Footage is used with permission, and was re-cut to the beat of "Lost". Rowan shot this on a Canon HV30.
My second unofficial music video for John Maus. This one is animation too, but abstract-geometric instead. Made me realize the many limitations of Sony Vegas Pro when it comes to animation (I'm moving to After Effects).
If the Vimeo 1080p version is too slow for you, you can try 720p on YouTube.
I always loved John Maus' song "Quantum Leap", but I suddenly got inspiration to do a video for it early in February. After two months of work, my first animation is ready. This is by far the longest video work I ever done, so I put my best self in it. It's not perfect (there's pixelation in some scenes), but I think the overall lo-fi result is good, considering that I didn't use animation-specific apps that automate things. I sketched on a Wacom tablet and Photoshop, editing was done on Sony Vegas Pro 11, while the lasers in the final battle scene were made in After Effects CS5.
Update April 15th: A digital painting of John Maus I did tonight over a few hours (painted over a still frame, and then posterized). Not a great piece of art obviously, but hey.
Update April 20th: Top-5 tips to animate your comics.
I emailed John Maus for permission to post the video btw, but never got a reply back. After lots of thinking about it, I decided to publish it. Find below credit links for the Creative Commons "Attribution" & NASA background images used in the video, in order of appearance. I hope I didn't forget anyone.

DEFINITION of 'Super Floater'
A floating-rate collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) tranche whose coupon rate is determined by a formula based on an interest-rate index such as LIBOR. The coupon rate is leveraged i.e. it moves more than one basis point for each basis point change in the index.
A super floater can also refer to a leveraged floating rate note whose coupon rate changes are magnified (ratio greater than one) when the reference interest rate or index changes. Since their coupon rate moves in the same direction as interest rates, super floaters are suitable investments in a rising interest-rate environment.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Super Floater'
As an example, a super floater coupon may be determined by the following formula: 2 x (one-year US$ LIBOR) - 4%. So if the one-year LIBOR is 3%, the coupon rate would be 2 x 3% - 4% = 2%. To prevent the coupon rate getting negative, a floor rate on the coupon is usually specified.

Artwork and Imaging Software Creating images for use on the web This document will help you to produce images that can be used on web pages. Other activities in this section are: • Creating and Using Digital Images • Digital Cameras Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Creating images for use on the web Introduction The aim of this article is to give an overview of the entire process involved in creating images for use on the web. Images play an important role in making websites more appealing to the user. The BBC news website (www.bbc.co.uk/news) is an example of how images can be used to make it more interesting to the user. This may seem obvious, but it's surprising how many websites fail to use images often enough, and just use words instead. Can you imagine if some TV programmes didn't bother to show pictures and just used spoken words? Generally, images used on the web need to be of a lower resolution than those used in printed documents. This is due to the time involved in downloading images over the Internet. Files used on the web are generally either JPEG or GIF files. The differences between these two types of file formats will be explored later in the article. Image sources Any image that you can produce on your PC can be used on your website. Images can be obtained from a number of sources. These include: Digital cameras Digital cameras are used in the same way as normal cameras but instead of using films that require developing they produce pictures in a digital format that can be transferred directly to a computer. Digital cameras come with software required to import the images, and often to do basic image manipulation, such as the Kodak software shown below. ITQ Resource Pack Page 498 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Scanners Scanners are used to capture printed pictures in to a computer. Almost all scanners are now flat bed and tend to appear similar to the one shown below. ITQ Resource Pack Page 499 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Web Pictures can be downloaded from the web, and then used in your own websites. Usually this is just a case of right-clicking the image you want to download and then choosing the appropriate option, as shown below Creating new pictures using graphics packages If you are creative, you can generate pictures yourself using computer software such as drawing packages or CAD (Computer Aided Design) packages. Camera phones Some mobile phones now contain digital cameras. An image from these phones can be usually be transferred to a computer, and then used on the web. Video capture Using a mixture of hardware and software, still images can be captured on to your computer from video. These pictures tend to be lower resolution, and therefore ideal for use on the web but usually not as good for printing. Copyright However you choose to obtain your images, you still need to ensure that you have permission from the holder of the copyright before you use them, unless of course you are the copyright holder. It cannot be assumed that because an image is on the web you are free to copy it and use as you wish. Usual copyright laws still apply. ITQ Resource Pack Page 500 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Using a graphics package such as Macromedia Fireworks to adjust the image Once you have created the image you will usually want to tidy it up or manipulate it before using it. You will also want to ensure the file size is kept to a minimum and that the file is saved to a suitable format. These tasks can be done with graphics packages such as Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks. Here we will show how some basic tasks can be carried out using Fireworks MX. The picture of a scanner that you saw earlier was taken using a digital camera. When you use a camera, you naturally take some photos horizontally and some vertically, depending what shape of object you are taking a picture of. When you use a normal camera, this is not a problem because you can simply rotate the photo when you look at it. Similarly, when using digital photographs you need to know how to rotate them. ITQ Resource Pack Page 501 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software In Fireworks to rotate a picture you simply go to the dropdown menu Modify/Transform, as shown below. Now that you have the photo the right way around, you may want to crop the picture. Basically, this means that choose the part of the picture that you want to retain, and everything else gets removed. This is an easy way to get rid of anything surrounding the image that you want the user of the web page to be looking at. In Fireworks, the crop tool is on the left hand side of the screen under "Tools" and is below the white arrow. First you need to click the crop tool and then you need to draw a square around the area of the photo you would like to retain, the square will appear as a dotted line, as shown below. ITQ Resource Pack Page 502 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Once you have drawn the square, simply hit the return key on your keyboard and the image will be cropped. Note however, that cropping too closely is not necessarily the best option. It does require judgment to be used and sometimes it may take a couple of attempts to get it right. Remember that if you're not happy with you first attempt you can simply go to Edit /Undo in the drop down menu or press Ctrl + Z to Undo. Next you might like to adjust the brightness, contrast and colours of the picture. These functions are similar to the controls on your television and basically enable you to get the most out of your picture. However, if a picture is particularly bad you may find it beyond the help of these functions. In Fireworks, these functions are available under the Filters drop down menu. The best way to learn about all the Filters is to try using them all on various images. You will not need to use them all, all of the time, but it's worth taking some time to familiarise yourself with them all. ITQ Resource Pack Page 503 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Filters/Adjust/Colour | Auto Levels is sometimes useful, but you may find its effects too drastic in many instances. The Brightness/Contrast controls enable you to achieve an image that can look more drastic, or subtler. For your web page, you will usually want to think about how your images will go together. For example, if you are giving a picture a "soft focus" appearance, it will contrast with pictures that look harsher. This may make some of the pictures look out of place. ITQ Resource Pack Page 504 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Also you should consider what the images are being used for. Photographs used on a college or student websites obviously need to look interesting and, whereas a technical diagram needs to be clear as opposed to artistic. You should now size your image appropriately for the web page. Remember to keep a copy of the original file though as once you've reduced the size of an image, if you later need to use it larger you will loose quality if you increase the smaller image instead of reducing the original. Go to Modify/Canvas/Image size and ensure that Resample Image is selected so that you will not lose parts of your image. Also ensure that Constrain Proportions is selected if you do not want the image to be stretched. When this is selected, if you change the width the height will change automatically, and vice versa, to ensure that the image maintains its proportions. Click OK to close the dialogue box and your image will be immediately resized. If you are not happy with it, remember to Undo your changes or go back to your original file. When you are happy with your image, save it in the packages native file format (in Fireworks this is .png files). This file will not be used on your web page, but is higher resolution than a GIF or JPEG file, so you can go back to it later if you need to amend the image. ITQ Resource Pack Page 505 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software Go to File/Export Preview to get an idea of the quality of the image when saved in different formats. The best way to learn about these options is to try them out. Above the preview you can see how large the file will be with the current settings. This will update automatically as you change the settings. When you are happy with the settings, click Export… and choose a suitable place to save the file. When you save as JPEG and when you save as GIF Images used on the web are almost always either JPEG files (with the file extension .jpg) or GIF files (with the file extension .gif). JPEGs are generally used where the image has more colours, such as a photograph. GIFs are used for images that are less complicated, such as logos or navigational buttons. If you choose the wrong file type it will have an adverse effect on the quality of the image and the download time. File sizes Generally on the web it is desirable to keep file sizes low. This is because many web users are still using modems and ordinary telephone lines, which mean that web access is very slow. There is no hard and fast rule on the maximum file size that should be used, and the speed of download will be affected by other factors such as the server used, the load on the server (i.e. how busy it is), the amount of images on the web page the code used to create the web page. ITQ Resource Pack Page 506 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software However, it is generally expected that images be kept below 40KB. On Windows operating systems you can tell how large an image file is by right clicking it and choosing properties, as shown below. How to display an image within a web page Web pages are made up of HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language). This can be edited using directly using a text editor such as Notepad, or you can use a web development package such as Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. A tutorial on using HTML is beyond the scope of this tutorial, however, this is the code that is used to display an image:  To explain the code further I'll break it in to sections: <img src="/images/logo.gif" Display the image called "logo.gif", which is in the folder "images". alt="company logo" This "alt tag" is used to display text if the user has chosen not to display images in their Internet browser. It will also often be displayed when a user holds the mouse cursor over the image. width="204" height="27" ITQ Resource Pack Page 507 Section 13 Artwork and Imaging Software The image can be displayed at any width and height. Generally files should be displayed at the correct size, and should not be stretched or shrunk using the height and width options. If you need to display the image at different sizes, it will look much better if you create a copy of your image at its required size using your graphics package (such as Macromedia Fireworks). align="top"> The image can be aligned in relation to the text around it in a number of ways: • top • baseline • middle • bottom • texttop • absmiddle – absolute middle • absbottom – absolute bottom • left • right ITQ Resource Pack Page 508

A little war history and the Purple Heart.
During World War II, nearly 500,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured in anticipation of the estimated casualties resulting from the planned Allied invasion of Japan. To the present date, total combined American military casualties of the sixty-five years following the end of World War II—including the Korean and Vietnam Wars—have not exceeded that number. In 2003, there remained 120,000 Purple Heart medals in stock. The existing surplus allowed combat units in Iraq and Afghanistan to keep Purple Hearts on-hand for immediate award to soldiers wounded in the field.[6]

Thanks for your Service, I hope you win.
Wow I should have put these two together dancing and war injury recovery.
Reminds me of the WWII RAF Ace Group Captain Sir Douglas Bader:CBE, DSOw/Bar,DFCw/Bar, and his book "Reach For The Sky". He loses both legs in AC accident pre WWII and uses dancing along with physical therapy to recovery (he promised his wife he would learn to dance but then the accident happened). He went on to be one of the best pilots in the RAF. He could take more G's with no legs.
Hollywood a great movie, opening scene a Spitfire on a low pass dropping artificial legs to a German Staff car. Read the book you will understand.
The Wounded Warrior Project and the Warrior Transition Bn need to look at Dancing as a path to recovery as it develops agility, spatial awareness, while rewiring the brain to route around the injury.

Malaysian economy expands 5.2% in third quarter
Published on Nov 16, 2012 7:12 PM
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Malaysia's economy grew a better-than-expected 5.2 per cent in the third quarter as domestic demand continued to compensate for a slowdown in exports, the government said on Friday.
The central bank said South-east Asia's third-largest economy expanded due to private consumption and private and public investment in such sectors as transportation, oil and gas, and public utilities.
This managed to offset a further decline in demand abroad for the export-reliant country's goods and services as its key partners, such as the US and Europe, are struggling amid the global economic crisis.
"Going forward, the more challenging international environment would present risks to Malaysia's growth prospects," Bank Negara said in a statement.

The Interior Department is making a big push to the cloud in the midst of transforming its IT capabilities by awarding a set of 10 indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts valued at as much as $10 billion over the next decade.
The Foundation Cloud Hosting Services contract selected a veritable who's who of IT and cloud providers after a lengthy process that was delayed by a bid protest that the U.S. Court of Federal Claims ultimately dismissed.
The 10 contract awardees are Aquilent, AT&T, Autonomic Resources, IBM, CGI, GTRI, Lockheed Martin, Smartronix, Unisys and Verizon.
"Each individual contract has a total cap of $1 billion, so the total value of all 10 contracts may be as much as $10 billion," wrote Andrew Jackson, deputy assistant secretary for technology, information and business services at Interior, in a departmental blog post.
"Individual projects will be awarded via task orders, one for each project, following a one-off competition for the project between the 10 selected vendors," he added. "All of the vendors have gone through an extensive process to gain their position as a contractor for this project. By doing it this way, Interior hopes to ensure the most competitive prices throughout the life of the contract."
The first task order under the contract was issued to Unisys for $44 million to move Interior's financial and business management system to the cloud. Other services to be provided through the contract include virtual machines, storage, database hosting, secure file transfers, Web hosting, and development and test environments.
Other federal agencies can access the cloud offerings under Interior's Foundation Cloud Hosting Services, which can accept requests for quotes and task orders on behalf of civilian agencies and the Defense Department. In this way, the contract acts as a public showcase for those already successful cloud providers.
Overall, Jackson said Interior's methodical, well-planned and competitive process to move to the cloud will lead to expected savings of $100 million annually from 2016 to 2020. Much of the savings will come from the consolidation of hundreds of geographically dispersed federal data centers and a reduction in the number of in-house servers.
Jackson said Interior, which is the chief steward for 20 percent of the nation's land, is a leading IT innovator in the federal government, having transitioned to cloud-based records management and email for its 77,000 employees. Those moves and the Foundation Cloud Hosting Services contract are part of Interior's IT Transformation

Annascaul Black Pudding is an artisan homemade black pudding. The Irish black pudding was first made when Ashe's shop was established in Annascaul in 1916.
The original black pudding recipe has been handed down through three generations of the Ashe family. Continuing in that tradition, Annascaul Black Pudding is handmade by Thomas Ashe on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry.
It is a unique Irish black pudding, is high in iron, contains no artificial additives or preservatives and is low in fat.
Annascaul Black Pudding is renowned for its' smoothness of texture, rich flavour and high nutritional values. Its' versatility makes it an ideal element of many meals such as the traditional Irish breakfast, a delicious snack served on crostini with spicy chutney, canapés of black pudding and rhubarb pastries, black pudding lasagne etc. For such reasons Annascaul Black Pudding is the preferred choice for many of Ireland's best known chefs.
White pudding, dry-cured Rashers and home made traditional pork sausages complement the black pudding. They are also made by hand, using only the highest quality Irish ingredients. Our sausages have half of the fat of competing sausages, are very high in meat content and are described by John McKenna as "peppery, porky perfection". The rashers are dry cured by hand and are thick-cut.
Our newest family member is our pork and black pudding sausage. It is a great marriage of pork and black pudding.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
12 Sep 2011 14:12 GMT | Sport, Football, Argentina, Ghana, Romania
With Asamoah Gyan's career at Sunderland appearing to be over, the Al Ain striker said on Monday he is ready to make a fresh start with the little-known club in the United Arab Emirates.
The striker's move away from the Stadium of Light came as a surprise to many supporters as he has been one of the Black Cats strongest players since his arrival last year and seemed to have adapted to the Premier League well.
It is likely Gyan would have been an important player for Sunderland this season, however, the 25-year-old Ghana international, who helped his country reach the quarter-finals at last year's World Cup, is feeling positive. "I will deliver here, I'm very sure about that," he said.
"I'm really, really happy to be here, at an important club like Al Ain," Gyan said at a news conference, adding that he came to the Persian Gulf emirate "for the challenge and the experience of the place."
The terms of Gyan's deal with Al Ain were not revealed but a move from the Premier League to a small player in the UAE suggests that money may have played a part.
Although Gyan is on a season-long loan, Sunderland coach Steve Bruce said Saturday the player's return was unlikely.
Last year, Gyan became Sunderland's record signing. He scored 11 goals in 37 appearances for the Premier League club.
"I've played in Europe for a while and I'm here to see how is the Asian league"
Asamoah Gyan
Gyan said he needed "a change in environment."
"I've played in Europe for a while and I'm here to see how is the Asian league," Gyan said.
"Hopefully, I will help the team win some cups and then see where my future lies."
Gyan joined Sunderland for the club's record of $20 million. He was previously with French club Rennes.
Gyan is the fourth foreign player the club has signed in recent weeks ahead of the new season starting October 15.
Argentina's Ignacio Scocco, Mirel Radoi of Romania and Saudi Arabia's Yasser al-Qahtani are the three other new players on the team.
Al Ain is owned by Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi. The club finished tenth in the first-division UAE Pro League last season.

WISCONSIN SPORTS ROUNDUP: Bucks open NBA season tonight in New York
The Milwaukee Bucks will open their 45th N-B-A season tonight against the Knicks in New York. Starting power forward Ersan Ilyasova practiced fully yesterday, and he could play tonight after being out since October 8th with a sprained right ankle. The Bucks are counting on a youth movement to help the team win games, while winning the public support necessary for a new arena -- the fate of which could determine the Bucks' future in Milwaukee.

The Bobcats were pushed to overtime seven times-the NCAA Division I record is eight. They went four overtimes against Akron and two each against Marshall and Western Michigan. In all, Ohio punched the overtime clock for 12 periods, two off the NCAA Division I record.

Lifer/Veteran Proposal
I would like to suggest that Lifetime Subbers/300+ Veterans eventually be given a small stipend of Cryptic Bucks. Dstahl has praised the DDO model and they do this. If the C-Store is really about choices and not just +$$$ then this innovation would be something to emulate imho.
DStahl has also said it's highly unlikely that they'll follow that model anytime soon, so I don't see this happening. :)
DDO is also F2P, they only give store points for free to lifers as an appeasement.... Now, should STO go F2P, you might see something like this, but it's not likely to go free anytime soon, as Cryptic is paying HUGE license fees.
Are you kidding? The C-Store is what's funding the game. I seriously doubt Cryptic would give out C-Points for anything short of another survey...unless the game goes F2P...in which case they BETTER give out free points to lifers.
I am a strong opponent of F2P games. They are not free, they cost more than a P2P game unless you adamantly refuse to use MT's. When anyone can play for free, the general sociable quality of players plummet. F2P turns PvP into an Arms Race where the richest players are virtually guaranteed to win a match. Gold sellers thrive on a F2P model and they are even harder to evict than usual.
In a Hybrid Model , I would require a few things to keep playing.
1) Lifetime Subscribers get a substantial monthly allotment of C-Bucks.
2) Monthly Subscribers get a decent monthly allotment of C-Bucks.
3) One server for Subscribers and another for Free Players.
4) C-Store sticks to Cosmetic Items and Character Services. No more 'well you could grind for it for 100 hours' nonsense.
5) No Per-Character Items in the C-Store.
6) A Hard price cap in the C-Store so that we are not paying as much (or even more) than the game costs.
You get points for paying a monthly subscription fee or being a formal life time subscriber. 500 turbine points a month. I am not a life time subscriber for either so it isnt just a perk for life time subscribers. Turbing put it in there as an incentive for subscribing. Really the amount of points you get per month is nothing if you want something from the Turbine Store.
Just saying this from the numerous news letters I get, Testing, and playing Turbine games.
On what kind of ratio would you compare those turbine points to cryptic points? Can you buy about equally as much? (Just asking out of curiousity, I don't know people who still play those games.)
what would we get? 200 cp for playing 300 days? yeah right..lol
Sad but true
I am totally against a F2P model it will make degrade this title and its reputation far worse than it already is.

Full Price
Our Price
Kelvin Wade Entertainment brings Lorraine Hansberry's classic, A Raisin in the Sun, to Atlanta's 14th Street Playhouse. More than 50 years ago, The New York Times said Raisin "changed American theater forever," and it's since lost none of its power to move audiences. Later adapted into the acclaimed 1961 movie starring Sidney Poitier, the drama is the story of the Youngers, a black family living on Chicago's South Side in the late 1950s. When fate lands a sizable life insurance check in their hands, the family -- accustomed to struggling to make ends meet -- tries to decide the best way to spend the money. They consider buying a new home, investing in a business, enrolling in college and more -- but must deal with conflicting aspirations and prejudice at every turn.

My friends and I truly enjoyed the show last night of "A Raisin in the Sun". The cast was wonderful. I didn't know much about the storyline but the actors moved me with emotions.
