Goa, India — For Nigeria to participate at subsequent film festivals, it needs to produce better quality movies which can withstand digital screening, Mr. Shankar Mohan says during the 43rd International Film Festival India (IFFI) in Goa, India.
Mohan, who is the director of the festival, said a major challenge many face is that films are still done in video which poses a problem during screening. He said it would be a lot easier if they were in celluloid.
Earlier, the event brought together an all female panel of four directors in the world cinema. They were Krizstina Deak, Director of 'Aglaya,' Dovile Gasiunaite, Director of 'Narcissus,' Filiz Alpgezmen, Director of 'The Stranger' and Christine Francois, Director of 'Secret of the ant children'.
At a media parley, the women shared their views on Indian cinema and gave an entire outlook on their perception about Indian cinema and its existence for 100 years.
Gasiunaite, from Lithuania, said her film is about a talented musician. "In the movie we have used professional musicians performing throughout. This was done to enrich the film and provide a better musical touch to the entire project."
On the other hand, Deak from Hungary described hers as a very strong emotional film that takes place in a circus. Although, the location was Circus but the main intention was to portray relationships.
Alpgezmen, from Turkey, said, "as a director, this is my first feature film. It talks about the journey of a woman living in France. She comes back to Turkey to revive her bond with her home country. This film highlights her trip to Istanbul." According to her, "earlier in Turkey the films had to be shot in Istanbul. The film is a story of a stranger and how the actress portrayed as a character that gets affected by various emotional phenomenon."
Drawing a lot of debate and conversation was Christine Francois' movie which is based on a true story of a child considered to be a witch, because he was breached at birth and came out legs first.
The story set in Benin Republic, the child's origin, was one many participants could relate with as they had similar cases in their home countries.
Francois said "I'm a writer and filmmaker. The actors who have worked in my project are amateurs. This is a medium to express the position of the subject and about spreading awareness about child infanticide."
Speaking about how their movies are received in their various countries, all the directors said Hollywood movies always scored over local language movies.
"The new James Bond movie 'Skyfall', when it was released, had millions of viewers at the cinemas," said Alpgezmen, adding that "but mine had only about 150,000."
They said the lack of audience and market were responsible for meaningful, non-commercial cinema and agreed that film festivals are the right and great platform for showing their movies.

Jeffrey Scott Brooks
BLOUNTVILLE — A Northeast Tennessee man has been indicted on more than six dozen counts of sex crimes against minors, stemming from the alleged discovery of child porn while he was previously living in Kingsport.
Jeffrey Scott Brooks, 39, of 1153 Highway 321 in Hampton, was arrested Friday on a warrant in Carter County. He has since been transported to the Sullivan County jail in Blountville.
On Jan. 15 a Sullivan County grand jury returned true bills against Brooks on 79 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. The now unsealed indictment states the incidents occurred on or around May 10 of 2012, with the images containing a minor engaged in simulated sexual activity that's "patently offensive."
More on the case is available from our partners at the Kingsport Times-News.comments powered by Disqus

Window light.
I have this candle that's not really a candle. It's really just an incense holder. The wax is soft, and you just can jam them down in there. It's taken on this ritualistic voodoo quality now, with all the leftover wood sticks of burned incense. It's sitting on a piece of scrap sheetrock, that I've so elegantly converted into a tabletop to hold a lamp.
Last night, I went to two art openings, and I think I got up today, inspired to work with a still life.
Not sure this is really the final image, I think I'm going back up there and reshoot it. Reshot it. ASA 6400, (my new love ASA), with the 45 tilt, stitched, wide open. ASA 100, with the 45 tilt, stitched, wide open.
And then, below, a portrait of a friend of a friend's child, today. Pretty, soft window light, with the Mamiya contraption.

I like that new version of the incense. It definitely seems more finished then the previous version. Also, thanks for making high ISOs look so good. It's giving me ideas many ideas.
hi Mark,
when you love pretty noise and that 1.9 mamiya you should try the mamiya ZD with this lens. shoot it at iso 200-400 and you get the prettiest noise (especially when done in RAW-Developer) in a nice 4:5 frame. Handy for times when you want to shoot outside – wide open – and still want that grainy noise.
I'm starting to also like digital noise ("should I dare say "grain"?) quite a lot, specially in BW. Lovely lense too!

It's hard to find people smoking on the UC Davis campus these days. On a recent visit during summer recess, nobody was smoking in the quads or social areas.
According to a recent survey, more than 90 percent of students at UC Davis are nonsmokers.
When asked their reaction to University of California President Mark Yudof's quest to make all UC campuses smoke-free by the end of 2013, the students shrugged.
"I honestly don't know why people are bothering so much," said Treva Kennedy, 22, a senior linguistics major at UC Davis. "I don't smoke, and I don't like it. That's why it should be kept away from buildings."
"But it's a personal habit, and a ban won't break an addiction," she said.
A number of students, however, agreed that the issue becomes more complicated for international students who are accustomed to cultures where there is less of a stigma attached to being a smoker, and, as some suggest, where smoking is still considered cool, as it once was in the United States before successful anti-smoking campaigns.
"It's extremely common to see at least three to four students outside the dorms alone smoking," said Adam Khan, a reporter for the Aggie, the UC Davis campus newspaper.
"It seems to be more prevalent in the international community and outside the international dorm. Those who smoke don't stick to the 25-foot rule (banning smoking from a building). In my (international) dorm especially, students smoke right outside the front door."
Some students questioned why smoking outside needed to be further regulated.
"Why shouldn't you be able to smoke if you are far enough away from someone else?" asked Sebastian Reyes, a Costa Rican student working toward a doctorate in genetics. "Rules are different where many international kids come from. But I guess if you're here you have to follow these rules."
Khrisha Shah, an Indian student at UC Berkeley, describes smoking as more of an international student habit on her UC campus. "For the Americans I knew who smoked, it was more while drinking or socializing."
David McCourt, a visiting lecturer at UC Davis' political science department, is from Great Britain. "People here just don't smoke. It's so rare, in comparison to where I'm from. I was just in Italy, where people smoke everywhere. I can imagine that it affects students from Latin America and Europe," he said.
The San Jose Mercury News reported this year that a survey of smoking at UC Davis found that 8 percent of students smoke, and 10 percent of faculty. The national average rate of all smokers is 19 percent.
Up until now, smoking, which is legal in the state of California at age 18, has been allowed at UC campuses in designated areas that are more than 20 feet away from buildings (at varying distances, depending on the campus), to comply with California smoking regulations.
In the California State University system, only the Fullerton campus has committed to be smoke-free by 2013.
Kimberly Nava, director of news services at California State University, Sacramento, said the campus is "definitely moving in the direction of making the campus smoke-free."
Currently, none of the 10 University of California campuses is smoke-free. Yudof raised the issue in January in a letter to the chancellors of each UC campus.
"As a national leader in healthcare and environmental practices, the University of California is ready to demonstrate leadership in reducing tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke by creating a smokefree environment on all of our campuses," he wrote.
Yudof said all the UC medical centers, including UC Davis Medical Center, are smoke-free. Nationally, he said, 586 university campuses are smoke-free.
Yudof defined "smoke-free" to mean the prohibition – in indoor and outdoor spaces – of smoking, using smokeless tobacco products and unregulated nicotine products.
Brooke Converse, a UC spokesperson, said the ban intends to be educational and not punitive. "We want to discourage smoking to promote healthy habits."

San Francisco D.A. clears BART cop in fatal shooting of homeless man
A BART police officer will not be changed with any crime for fatally shooting a a knife-wielding homeless man in the San Francisco Civic Center station last July because the officer was acting in self defense, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon has decided. The announcement means no criminal trial will result from the death of Charles Hill, whose shooting touched off protests against the transit agency. But a civil lawsuit against BART will continue.

Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
Greetings all,
I'm a long time lurker with grand plans of building an igloo style WFO and outdoor kitchen.
We have talked about this at work and the other day my boss was talking to his uncle who said "Do you know anyone who wants a free pizza oven, it came with the house, I don't use it and it's taking up too much of my shed."
My boss was there on the weekend and took this photo so I know what I'm up for:
He said the base is about 2.4m square.
So here's the catch/where I require your experience and advice.
What is the best way to disassemble, relocate and store the oven without completely destroying everything?
Would anyone care to speculate at what the weight might be and how long it would take 2 or 3 blokes to disassemble and load up the pile of oven.
Any help is much appreciated.
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
Interesting problem you have there. It would be hard to answer your questions without knowing more about how the oven was constructed and insulated (ie. How big is it? Was it built with fire bricks or casted refractory panels? Was it insulated with insulating bricks/ceramic blankets or a layer of perlcrete/vermicrete? I'll assume you don't know the answer to these questions. However, based on the picture it looks like it might be a type of commercial oven which are often constructed with prefabricated refractory sections/panels for the dome and hearth floor. It would be tricky to salvage something like that.
As for weight you are probably looking at 1500# or more depending on the size of the oven and base construction.
I am a HUGE fan of reclaimed materials, but I've got to say that I am skeptical that this would be worth the effort, unless the owner is willing to pay you to remove it. I understand that firebrick is really expensive in Oz so maybe it would be worth it to you (assuming you can salvage these materials). If it is not constructed of firebrick and is constructed of casted sections instead, I suspect that much of these materials (and your time) would be wasted in the process.
Good Luck, let us know what you decide to do.
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
It certainly is an interesting dilemma you have. Were you able to get a fork lift into the picture you might be able to do some interesting stuff. Like removing the chimney and flue and cutting the whole thing off below the slab. If you have to take it apart completely (don't get much into a wheelbarrow) it would be almost better and easier to spend your energy in starting from scratch.
Your bosses uncle would probably want to keep and use it if he got a bit of therapy. :)
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
You could cut a hole in the roof and hire a crane.
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
Get the floor material if you can and build one yourself. I'm with ATK on this, I doubt the effort is worth it.
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
Thank you everyone for your input and creative solutions :)
Unfortunately a crane is out, although I would love to be able to just pick it up and bring it home, it is just completely impossible to get to the shed, even from neighboring yards.
My understanding is the oven is 25-30 years old, the present owners purchased the house in 2000 and haven't had the inclination to use it in this time, now he wants to get it out of the way so that he can get his lathe and table saw into the shed.
The previous owners were an Italian family who used the oven almost constantly.
I'm fairly certain construction is brick, not refractory panels panels, but no clue as to the insulation or render layering.
I am told the external size is approx 2.4 metres/8 feet, I don't have the space or need for an oven this size and am really only looking at it as a source of materials.
Has anyone dismantled an oven before? Are there any techniques to employ to aid in the process?
I'm still undecided but pretty keen even if just to reverse engineer how it's made and get a few bricks.
Thanks again for your help,
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
Then get a sledge hammer to it and retrieve the bricks, then build your own.
Re: Disassambling/Relocating an WFO
For an oven like that size since you don't need all the material, giving it the sledge treatment might be a good idea...though I wouldn't bash the whole thing apart with one.
I would knock hole in the roughest looking top section of the dome and from there, use a chisel to chip off the cladding...if you have a pneumatic chisel or a combi hammer ( hammer drill/chisel) that would speed things up.
Working from the top down, I would only remove enough cladding to work a few courses at a time, so that from that point all you need to do is loosen and remove the bricks in each course.
Doing it that way saves a lot of material and avoids putting fissures in the brick from the impact of a sledge.

This semester brought a new year for STAND Carleton and along with it new faces and ideas. I am pleased to say that we have a strong and dedicated group this year.
My team and I were really excited to promote the MP e-mailing tool during Holocaust Education Week. We had a computer set up on our table, an idea suggested to us by the STAND U of T team, with the e-mailing tool opened so people could access it. We got a good number of people at the table who wanted to e-mail Stephen Harper right then and there about Canada's commitment to genocide prevention. Those who didn't e-mail wanted me to write down the website where they could get more information and e-mail anytime they wanted, so standcanada.org was heavily promoted.
We have also been working on creating a STAND chapter at the University of Ottawa. Right now we are in the process of promoting with posters and encouraging those we know at Ottawa U to start a chapter. With our close proximity to the Parliament buildings, it would be great for both universities to work towards to goal of making genocide prevention a cornerstone on Canadian foreign policy. The groups can be combined under a broader STAND Ottawa. If anyone from Ottawa U is reading this and are interested in starting up a STAND chapter please do so! We here at STAND Carleton are always happy to help.
Kaleigh Norkum is President of the STAND Carleton chapter. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2012
Sleep disorders affect as much as 34 percent of the U.S. population - a virtual epidemic.
In recent years studies have begun to link chronic partial sleep deprivation to serious physical health consequences. Regularly catching only a few hours of sleep can hinder metabolism and alters hormone production in a way that is similar to the effects of aging.
Chronic sleep loss may speed the onset or increase the severity of age-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and memory loss. Researchers have shown that just one week of sleep deprivation altered subject's hormone levels and their capacity to metabolize carbohydrates.
Insomnia is the inability to sleep during a period in which sleep should normally occur. While occasional restless nights are often normal, prolonged insomnia can interfere with daytime function, and may impair concentration, diminish memory, and increase the risk of substance abuse, motor vehicle accidents, headaches, and depression.
Insomnia is occasionally a symptom of an underlying medical or psychological condition, but it may also be caused by stress (from work, school, or family) or lifestyle choices, such as excessive coffee and alcohol consumption. About 50% of insomnia cases have no identifiable cause.
Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
If you report symptoms of insomnia or sleep disorders to your physician, he or she will first obtain a detailed sleep history by asking questions about your sleep patterns and sleep quality. The primary care physician may recommend a sleep specialist or a sleep disorders center where brain waves, body movements, breathing, and heartbeats may be electronically monitored during sleep.
Preventive Care
The following lifestyle changes can help prevent insomnia:
Studies reveal that healthy sleep habits are essential for treating insomnia including:
Dr. Stuart H. Garber, D.C., Ph.D. has been practicing holistic medicine since 1981. He has lectured to medical, dental, chiropractic and acupuncture groups in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. In 1997 Dr. Garber became the first person in the United States to receive a Ph.D. degree in homeopathy. He is the developer of Dr. Garber's Natural Solutions line of condition specific biotherapy formulas that are sold in Whole Foods Stores in California, other retail outlets, through doctors offices and his website. The sleep formula is the number one seller in the product line. He practices in Santa Monica, CA where he also conducts research in homeopathic medicine.

It was an interesting experience delving into Vineyard National Bancorp's 10-K annual filing today. If you don't know what you're looking for, you might pass up important information while getting lost in financial jargon.
You can find the 148-page Securities-and-Exchange document at: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/sec?s=VNBC
Check out my story on the business tab of our web site, or look at it right here: "Bank's problems mount."
Bank's problems mount
Perhaps it's the best way to describe Corona-based Vineyard National Bancorp, the holding company for Vineyard Bank, which has 15 branches in Southern California.
Besides, that's how the all-knowing Federal Reserve Board expects to describe the bank in the future – in a "troubled condition" – according to the company's 148-page annual 2007 report.
It's a rare phrase, only used for banks mired by mounting losses.
Vineyard is so troubled that it's on the hunt for money to satisfy regulatory requirements. The bank's connection with the Inland Empire's real-estate mess is emerging as it reports millions of dollars in loan losses.
On May 1, the bank said it was talking with one party about a capital infusion.
"Such discussions are ongoing," the report says.
But the money may not be available when needed, the report says. And even if it's available, a deal might not be on terms acceptable to Vineyard.
The story gets uglier.
Vineyard's stock could be delisted from the NASDAQ exchange because the company didn't file its 10-K annual report for 2007 on time. The late report was filed Monday.
Why the delay?
Vineyard has been juggling some hefty issues over the last six months, one of which is a proxy battle.
Former CEO Norman Morales is trying to gain control of the bank. He resigned in January but was then given the green light in April by an independent inspector to nominate his very own board-of-director candidates at the company's upcoming annual meeting.
Some stakeholders expect Vineyard to announce its yearly meeting date this week.
But even if Morales board candidates are approved by shareholders, that team might not win approval of the Office of Comptroller of the Currency in Washington. The national bank regulator has the power to do this if it designates a bank as being in "troubled condition," which it's already done to Vineyard.
Investor Jon Salmanson, who is helping Morales in his proxy contest, could not be reached for comment.
The proxy battle is only the half of it.
Vineyard announced Friday the termination of its executive vice president and chief lending officer, Michael Cain, while also eliminating the position of chief lending officer.
Experts disagree over whether Vineyard is looking to be bought out by another holding company or looking for a private equity firm to come to its rescue.
But in the meantime, the bank has hired a financial adviser to help it explore options for raising capital.
The bank reported so much in loan losses over the last two quarters that it's suspending stock dividends "for the foreseeable future," according to the May 1 financial statement. Vineyard doesn't satisfy certain asset-to-liability ratio requirements under California law.
For 2007, Vineyard made a loan loss allowance of almost $49million – more than double its allowance for 2006 and more than triple for 2005.
Vineyard also said it had $142million in "substandard loans" for 2007. It means there's a possibility the bank will take a loss on some of those loans "if the deficiencies are not corrected," the report says.
Recently, the bank reported a first-quarter loss of $16.6million because of a $26.9million loan-loss provision for construction loans originated between 2005 and 2007.

Breakside Brewery | 820 NE Dekum St & 5821 SE International Way, Milwaukie
A delightful lineup of standards (a mighty stout, a woozy IPA) and mad-science oddities (Aztec Ale, with habanero chiles and cacao nibs) made three-year-old Breakside the new social heart of the Woodlawn neighborhood. (Manager Travis Puckett calls the Northeast community "our life force.") During a sunny recent visit, kids darted around tables and earnest beer geeks talked hops at the bar. Meanwhile, a huge new brewery complete with an adults-only taproom in Milwaukie gives Breakside the capacity both to brew on a near-industrial scale and conduct countless more small-batch experiments.
You're Drinking: Sane? Go for the floral Woodlawn Pale or a seasonal wonder like the malt-licious Kellerbier. Feeling ... insane? Try out the 10-percent ABV Aztec—especially the limited-edition version aged in bourbon barrels.

"The purpose of the academy from its foundation has been to give young people a broad symmetrical training for usefulness, and to lay a solid foundation for any work they may do in a more advanced school. The academy was located in a rural section removed from the contaminating influence of city life, where the teachers and students might devote a part of their time to agriculture and other industries,"as quoted from History of Wood County authored by George O. Jones.
At the height of its existence, the Bethel educational institution consisted of boys and girls dormitories, post office, school farm of 100 acres in size, two barns, carpenter shop, bee house, and two staves. The Bethel academy's average student population was 130 students during the 1920s.

Russell Brand speaks out against GQ awards show after he was ejected
Comedian Russell Brand was kicked out of the 2013 GQ Men of the Year Awards after he made jokes about one of the event's sponsors, Hugo Boss, and the brand's connection to the Nazi party as he accepted the Oracle Award. In light of the event, and his subsequent boot from the rest of the evening, Brand is opening up about his side of the story ... and it's an interesting, highly intelligent, at times hilarious, and most times brutally honest long-read.
"It must have been a while since I've attended a fancy, glitzy event, because as soon as I got to the GQ awards I felt like something was up," Brand says in his essay on The Guardian. "The usual visual grammar was in place -- a carpet in the street, people in paddocks awaiting a brush with something glamorous, blokes with earpieces, birds in frocks of colliding colours that if sighted in nature would indicate the presence of poison. I'm not trying to pass myself off as some kind of Francis of Assisi, Yusuf Islam, man of the people, but I just wasn't feeling it."
Brand goes on to describe the events of the night, interjecting with his brutal personal feelings about paparazzi, the media, and glitzy events. "In case you don't know, these parties aren't like real parties. It's fabricated fun, imposed from the outside. A vision of what squares imagine cool people might do set on a spaceship. Or in Moloko," Brand says. "I also don't drink, so these affairs where most people rinse away their Britishness and twitishness with booze are for me a face-first log flume of backslaps, chitchat, eyewash and gak."
Brand was at the event to accept the Oracle Award, which he found somewhat ridiculous given the definition of oracle. "Thankfully, I have a sense of humour that prevents me from taking accolades of that nature on face value, or I'd've been in the tricky position of receiving the GQ award for being 'best portal to a mystical dimension,' which is a lot of pressure," Brand says. "Me, [Brand's friend] Matt, and Noel [Gallagher] conclude it's probably best to treat the whole event as a bit of a laugh and, as if to confirm this as the correct attitude, [Mayor of London] Boris Johnson -- a man perpetually in pajamas regardless of what he's wearing -- bounds to the stage to accept the award for 'best politician.' Yes, we agree: this is definitely a joke."
However, when Brand made his infamous comments during his acceptance speech, he soon found out that not everyone felt the same way he did. "I said the 'oracle award' sounds like a made-up prize you'd give a fat kid on sports day -- I should know, I used to get them -- then that it's barmy that Hugo Boss can trade under the same name they flogged uniforms to the Nazis under and the ludicrous necessity for an event such as this one to banish such a lurid piece of information from our collective consciousness," Brand says. "I could see the room dividing as I spoke. I could hear the laughter of some and louder still silence of others. I realised that for some people this was regarded as an event with import. The magazine, the sponsors and some of those in attendance saw it as a kind of ceremony that warranted respect."

NEW YORK (AP) — Time magazine selected Pope Francis as its Person of the Year on Wednesday, saying the Catholic Church's new leader has changed the perception of the 2,000-year-old institution in an extraordinary way in a short time.
The pope beat out NSA leaker Edward Snowden for the distinction, which the newsmagazine has been giving each year since 1927.
The former Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected in March as the first pope from Latin America and the first Jesuit. Since taking over at the Vatican, he has urged the Catholic Church not to be obsessed with "small-minded rules" and to emphasize compassion over condemnation in dealing with touchy topics like abortion, gays and contraception.
He has denounced the world's "idolatry of money" and the "global scandal" that nearly 1 billion people today go hungry, and has charmed the masses with his simple style and wry sense of humor. His appearances draw tens of thousands of people at a clip and his @Pontifex Twitter account recently topped 10 million followers.
"He really stood out to us as someone who has changed the tone and the perception and the focus of one of the world's largest institutions in an extraordinary way," said Nancy Gibbs, the magazine's managing editor.
The Vatican said the honor wasn't surprising given the resonance in the general public that Francis has had, but it nevertheless said the choice was a "positive" recognition of spiritual values in the international media.
"The Holy Father is not looking to become famous or to receive honors," said the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi. "But if the choice of Person of Year helps spread the message of the Gospel — a message of God's love for everyone — he will certainly be happy about that."
It was the third time a Catholic pope had been Time's selection. John Paul II was selected in 1994 and John XXIII was chosen in 1962.
Besides Snowden, Time had narrowed its finalists down to gay rights activist Edith Windsor, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Time editors made the selection. The magazine polled readers for their choice, and the winner was Egyptian General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who didn't even make the top 10 of Time's final list.
Associated Press writer Nicole Winfield in Rome contributed to this report.

The United States and Israel are set to add Israelis to a fast-track immigration system.
Yediot Achronot reported Thursday that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman have agreed to add Israel to the "Global Entry" program. The agreement was negotiated during a recent trip by Homeland Security officials to Israel.
For a $100 fee, frequent business travelers undergo a thorough security clearance. Once cleared, they enter the United States through a biometric fingerprint check, skipping passport checks.
According to Yediot, six countries already had joined the program—Britain, Holland, Qatar, Austria, New Zealand and Japan—and 250,000 American citizens have registered.

Try three gigs a weekend – Friday, Saturday and Sunday – for four weekends starting on Friday 26th July and running to the weekend beginning Friday 9th August – all-Scottish bands and four of the twelve from Argyll.
This tease-fest of music is the fourth Galley Gig Fest run by the much loved Galley of Lorne hotel, restaurant and bar in Ardfern, on the Craignish peninsula.
We can do the tease thing too – you can see from the overall poster above just what's programmed in for the giggers over the four weekends – but you'll have to visit the Galley Gig Fest 2013 website here to find out which weekend each of these is on and in what combination.
And once it starts, this sort of programming gives you recovery time between one fest-feast and the next.
This is a cracking idea for a summer festival – and, west coast weather being what it is, it cleverly avoids putting all its gigs in one casket with Dead Grateful.
All gigs start at 21.00 and run until closing time at 01.00am – and they're all free.

Forget the glamour positions. As the 2013 NFL Draft got under way Thursday night, the big guys in the trenches stole the headlines.
Offensive linemen were taken with six of the first 11 picks and eight of the top 20, beginning with former Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher, who was selected No.1 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs. Jacksonville followed by taking Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel at No. 2, and the Eagles took Oklahoma tackle Lane Johnson at No. 4.
Only Miami, which traded up to take outside linebacker Dion Jordan at No. 3, prevented tackles from a clean sweep of the top three spots. A fourth offensive tackle, Alabama's D.J. Fluker, was selected at No. 11 overall by the Chargers.
In addition, two guards were chosen in the top 10 – Jonathan Cooper to the Cardinals at No. 7 and Chance Warmack to the Titans at No. 10.
The first offensive skill position player taken was Baltimore native and West Virginia star Tavon Austin, who is headed to St. Louis. The Rams swapped spots with the Bills, moving up eight spots to take Austin, the dynamic playmaker who played high school ball at Dunbar.
The first -- and only -- quarterback taken in the first round was Florida State's E.J. Manuel, who was selected at No. 16 by the Bills.
That was one of five trades in the opening round. The first involved the Raiders, who traded the No. 3 pick to Miami and then took Houston cornerback D.J. Hayden at No. 12. San Francisco, meanwhile, traded with Dallas, moving up 13 spots to take LSU safety Eric Reid, who was linked to the Ravens in many mock drafts.
There was some speculation the Ravens might trade up to take one of the marquee tackles in the draft, but that did not happen and the price tag to move up from No. 32 to the top five would have been prohibitive.
Unlike last year, the Ravens did not trade their first-round pick, using it to select Florida safety Matt Elam. General manager Ozze Newsome said the Ravens entertained no trade offers while they were on the clock.

The Republican Alternative
The Netherlands and Switzerland Compared
Distributed for Amsterdam University Press
The Republican Alternative seeks to move beyond the mere notion of scholarly inquiry into the republic—the subject of recent rediscovery by political historians interested in Europe's intellectual heritage—by investigating the practical similarities and differences between two early modern republics, as well as their self-images and interactions during the turbulent seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Among the world's most economically successful societies, Switzerland and the Netherlands laid much of the foundation for their prosperity during the early modern period discussed here. This volume attempts to clarify the special character of these two countries as they developed, including issues of religious plurality, the republican form of government, and an increasingly commercially-driven agrarian society.

The acclaimed Public Theater production of William Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE came to Broadway direct from its sold-out run in Central Park in 2010. Academy Award®, Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Al Pacino reprised his stunning performance as Shylock in the must-see event The Wall Street Journaldeclared "cries out to be seen by everyone with a passion for truly great theater. The best MERCHANT I've ever seen!"
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is one of Shakespeare's most thrilling and controversial plays, rich with love and betrayal, forgiveness and revenge. The Jewish moneylender Shylock makes a loan to Antonio, a Christian merchant. Their loan contract, steeped in prejudice and centered on the play's infamous "pound of flesh," sweeps the two men and everyone in their worlds into chaos. Only the insightful Portia can imagine a way forward, but for her and those she loves, even "the quality of mercy" has its limits.
"THE PERFORMANCES OF THE SEASON! When Portia, played by Lily Rabe, finally meets Shylock, played by Al Pacino in Daniel Sullivan's absolutely splendid production, the collision lights up the sky. They Invest their scene with such passion and anger that you may find yourself trembling. A REVELATORY PRODUCTION SATURATED WITH PASSION, EXPERTISE AND INTELLIGENCE. THE AFTERTASTE IS THRILLINGLY SWEET." — Ben Brantley, New York Times
"YOU WILL NEVER SEE A MORE EXCITING 'MERCHANT!' Al Pacino is galvanic; this veteran stage actor knows how to nail every line to the auditorium's back wall. Lily Rabe is luminous. Daniel Sullivan's interpretation sweeps you along with such hell-bent momentum that you'll forget there was an intermission." – Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal
"5 STARS! A SPECTACULAR RECKONING WITH A DISTURBING CLASSIC! I am even more awed and engaged by Daniel Sullivan's supremely intelligent 'Merchant of Venice' now that it's moved indoors to the Broadhurst Theatre." — Davie Cote, New York One
"4 STARS! REACHES INTO OUR HEARTS AND HAUNTS OUR SOULS! Where to begin listing the pleasures and insights of this staging? An obvious place would be its star attraction, Al Pacino, who brings harrowing humanity to one of the Bard's most controversial characters. Or there's the radiant Portia of Lily Rabe. But let's start with Daniel Sullivan, the director who steers these leading actors, and the entire company, with such robust intelligence and grace." — Elysa Gardner, >USA Today

There had been speculation the Republic of Ireland internationalist would sign a pre-contract agreement at Goodison Park, but he will instead move immediately from Spartak Moscow for an undisclosed fee.
"It has sort of been a long time coming," McGeady admitted. "There was talk over the summer that something might happen, but I am just delighted it is done and dusted now. I was close to joining the manager [Roberto Martinez] a year ago when he was at Wigan.
"I just want to play for a big club like this and I am relishing the challenge. I have said for a long time now that I want to try myself in the Premier League. It's a dream move. I couldn't be happier."
