The Mary Project
We are Gladiolus Productions and I am Kylie Hitchcock, creator and author of The Mary Project. This story was written from the heart and is a beautiful tale of a friendship between two women from completely different worlds.
We want to bring this story to life because it is important for us to share this compelling tale! Set in the heart of 'The Big Apple' and the Australian Snowy Mountains, the adventure begins in the very first scene of this full-length feature film. You will laugh, frown, and maybe even cry a little... It is a coming-of-age story that everybody can relate to.
By giving to our campaign, you will not only be involved in the creation of a wonderful motion picture, but in addition you will also be contributing to the start-up of a new production enterprise that will be extremely committed to the visual medium. Our company is in the heart of one of the most creative places on earth and in turn that gives us access to an array of highly talented performing artists and very talented crew.
Here are the details:
- We have very carefully established our start-up budget and require $5,000. This will allow us to commence production and to acquire the necessary equipment, source professional crew, register our company, and attain appropriate licensing, insurance, and location fees to start production of The Mary Project!
What do friends of The Mary Project get in return for their money?
Friends of The Mary Project can contribute at all levels:
- $20 friends will receive a digital copy of the film as it first becomes available (expected release summer 2015);
- $35 friends will receive all of the above plus a film credit;
- $50 friends will receive all of the above plus a signed copy of the script (Writer, Cast, Director and Crew);
- $75 friends will receive all of the above plus The Mary Project Poster;
- $100 friends will receive all of the above plus a Skype meet and greet with the actor of their choice;
- $150 friends will receive a digital copy of the film and an extra role in the film (NYC or Australia locations only - travel and accommodations NOT included). You will be fed, get a credit as a FEATURED extra, have your hair and makeup done for set, and hang out with the cast and crew for the whole day. You will be guaranteed screen time in the film;
- $250 friends will get a VIP pass to an advanced screening (travel and accommodations NOT included), receive a digital copy, and a screenplay signed by the Writer, Director, Cast and Crew;
- $500 friends will be given an Associate Producer film credit and will be invited to the official premiere (travel and accommodations NOT included); and
- $1000 friends will be given an Executive Producer film credit and be invited to the official premiere (travel and accommodations NOT included). Plus all other perks.
We highly anticipate reaching this goal, but if we don't - any funds we receive will provide critical assistance to get The Mary Project started!
Other Ways You Can Help
If you can't contribute financially but want to help our project, there are a number of ways you can do this:
- Use your amazing social media skills and know-how to get the word out and make some noise about our campaign on Facebook, Twitter or other social media sites. You can use Indiegogo share tools, as well.
- Film crew professionals (in any medium) can contribute their time and expertise in exchange for a feature film credit. In addition, you will also have the opportunity to work on a fun, professional, and efficient set! We would love to hear from you.
The Mary Project
It can be easy to get stuck, stagnant, and lost. It can also be easy to take a wonderful life for granted. Delayed coming-of-age and untimely circumstances are critical themes that are important in telling this tale. Working through fear and embracing it can be risky, and just when you think you are comfortable with your life - think again. That's why this film is important to us and we are convinced that you will agree when you see The Mary Project.
For now - until the first trailer and principal photography are released, we thank you for your interest and please stay tuned.
Please send any information requests to email@example.com.

I read all the reviews before I got this phone and I was a bit scared of the outcome. This is the best phone. I have two or three bars in my house but it works just fine and outside it has all the bars. This phone can do everything an Iphone can do without the price!!! I watch YouTube videos, go to Facebook,check my emails and the list goes on. Please don't rely on the other reviews, get the phone and see if it works and if it doesn't simply take it back to your nearest Warlmart. Just make sure to keep it charged because the phone takes alot out of the battery.
This phone is nice! The screen is larger than a Samsung in size! If you want an up to date phone that has WIFI and also has a free 4G SD card for extra storage,free hands free headset, the latest Android apps, you can watch YOUTUBE videos! Endless themes from the Google Play Store,custom ringtones from Zedge, Adobe pdf reader, and more for only $45 dollars a month! Everyone will be jealous you have this phone!
It is not called Hauwei Ascent II it is Huawei Ascend II their own company messed it up with spelling it wrong. Besides it being wrong on here, it is a great phone for the price. I spent less than $132.00 or so with tax, phone and phone insurance. My other phones have been older phones, and flip phones and this phone seems to have what I wanted and more. Very easy to use, I think anyone can use it being young or older.
I love this phone!! I was thinking of going to another company but when I saw this phone and the price, I decided to give it a try and it was a very smart decision (if I say so myself.. :))
I bought this phone because of the screen size and other features that the other phones don't have and this one does for less money. It is a wonderful product for the money! The ONLY problem was the camera. Does not take good pics....but that's it! I live in subs ATL and I have a signal always!
alright so i had been looking at this phone for a while. i checked my zip code on this site to make sure i would have coverage and of course walmart said that i would. so i was very excited to see that my local walmart had this straight talk phone i couldnt believe it because they were out of stock online forever so i purchased the phone a couple of days later i tried to activate it and they told me "the technology of this phone will not work in your area" what sort of technology does this phone have?? lol anyway well i had to take the phone back and everything just dont believe walmart's zip code check because it obviously dont work.
Don't let walmart website fool you. The zip code entered is not correct! I purchased this phone to make sure I still had covereage where I work and it doesn't work at all!!! Even though walmart says the zip has good coverage. The phone itself is great, sleek, thin, fast - I like that part, but the overall coverage is probably going to force me to return the phone for a better coverage area.
The phone its self is very nice the touch screen works good, and has many apps. The only thing is the service, I have seen this problem happen to most the people who have this phone. It runs off Sprint towers, which aren't to good. I liked my old straight talk phone better just for that reason, but overall I love the phone. Just as long as you don't mind a few dropped calls here and there.
The phone gets hot then shuts down, not able to turn it back on without putting it in the freezer to cool off. Tried taking it back to Wal-mart the day I bought it and was told this is normal for these phones. Service is also terrible, always dropping calls!
The processor is slow and can't handle multiple web pages.
The battery over heats when using for more than 8 min.
The package is misleading, it says it holds a long charge but doesnt.
I literally have to charge it every three hours for it to stay alive. If you dont ever call anyone or text anyone or go on the web, yes the battery will probably last 12 hours.
But if you want to lead a normal life the battery will last 1 hour.
Other than that... Straight talk is great service but they should find better phones for consumers to buy than this peace.
This phone is the absolutely the worst phone I have ever owned. First of all, when turning it on or rebooting, it won't completely load so I have to take the battery out several times before it works, secondly, it freezes alot and acts sporadic at any given time. The battery is downright awful. Huawei should just stop making phones period if this phone reflects their other phones. DON'T WASTE YOU'RE MONEY ON THIS PHONE!!!!
I have to say, I was nervous after reading the negative reviews. But I have to say this phone surpasses my expectations. I live in Phoenix Az. and the reception and signal is great! What is most impressive, is the battery. I had the LG Optimus Q and the battery would run down and the phone would bake with heat. This phone charges in half the time. The speaker is phenominal and is user friendly. I hope this company comes out with bigger screens!
THIS PHONE STINKS!!! Well for starters I was informed this phone was on either Verizon or At&T...well it's on the SPRINT network and I don't like Sprint and don't get any servicewhere I live from Sprint towers. I had no service from PA to NY or from PA to OH and every place in between. The touch screen doesn't work half the time and when the phone rings the volume is all the way up and I still cannot hear it even when it's in the holder handing off my hip with no additional sounds around. The other problem I have is when I am ever on the phone the touch screen seems to work well because it will hang up on the person I'm speaking with and dial someone else for no reason at all. Half the time I cannot even get onto the internet becasue the connection always seems to be lost. PHONE IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE AND STRAIGHT TALK WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
However, I do like Straight Talk for the most part as long as I can get a phone on the verizon towers since that is the only type of service in my area.
My friend keeps asking me how much I got this phone for and he won't believe me. XD
He keeps saying how there's no way I could get that phone that cheap!
The only problem I find is that there isn't much space on it (but that just means I need to get a bigger SD card). And that the phone dies pretty quickly
My husband and I was so excited to find phones prepaid. We did a lot of checking and making sure that they work in our zip codes. Well everything was fine until I found I could not talk on the phone, much less use the web site at my home. Now I will need to figure out something. I can't afford to keep buying phones. Be careful what they say about service in your area.
Does everything it's supposed to do. The only cons to this phone are the processor and the fact that it runs off of Sprint towers. The CPU is 500 MHz....could use a 1 GB. I have a lot of Android Apps installed. Does fine unless I try to run to many at the same time. It does occasionally "bog down" when you over do it on multitasking, but there's usually no need to. Sprint has pretty poor coverage overall. If you use it mostly in an area that has good Sprint coverage, no problem. When traveling, it seldom drops calls. Battery life doesn't do as well as it should unless you have a good app to kill those unneeded tasks Android insists on starting up, whether you want them or not. I use Advanced Task Manager and Speed Boost together and get pretty good battery life. Great GPS....Google Navigation and all the Google Maps features work great. I never have upgraded from the 4GB SD Card and have plenty of room for lots of Android Apps, a lot of Music and cached map data. WIFI reception is better than most. Auto-connects with any WIFI Hot Spot you have in memory. There are better Android phones available, but they cost 3 to 4 times as much. I'm happy with mine, with the exception of it running on Sprint towers. That's because Sprint has poor coverage around my home. Anywhere else, it does fine. I recommend this phone to anyone who can't afford to spend $200 or more for a phone.
Overall I would like the Huawei Ascend 2 if the sprint network wasn't so poor. I live in the LA area and have lost my calls while using this phone many times. I'm taking it back for an AT&T network Straight Talk phone. I'm coming off an iPhone with AT&T and the Android os is comparable to the iOS but not as refined, but it's okay for what I use it for because the AT&T phone is too much money.
I was so excited to get my new phone that I ordered from Wal-Mart. So, I drive 36 miles to my nearest store - pick it up - get it home and activated it. WELL - tried to activate it and well GEE that phone don't work in my zip code. Funny thing was that when I ordered it on the web site it said that it would work in my zip code. I had o problems retuning the phone or getting a refund. But I was sooooo disappoited that it didn't work and I had my heart set on that phone. I think somebody needs to fix something on the web site. Or at least check it out first.
This phone is a great phone i had a little problem but after i rebooted it it works perfectly fine. Battery life is typical for any android phone over all i recommend this phone to everyone.
The phone is pretty nice and works well. However, the battery life is pretty short. It will MAYBE last a day. Its short battery life is pretty much due to all these apps that run (google, wi-fi, maps). Some of them you can't turn off so there's really nothing you can do about it using up the battery juice. I get really good reception at my house, but in other places (work, two minutes away) I'm a little worried because I don't even get one bar of service. It seems to go in and out. I'm hoping it's just one area and it will get better. The camera is 5.0 megapixals but the color looks pretty gray... So far I like it though... it has a lot of cool features for a Huawei phone. For texters, it's great! LOVE the swype feature!

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
This proves the old adage, "It's an ill wind that blows no good."
I'm pretty sure most of the credit goes to a complete lack of leadership in the Senate. Why do they even bother to get up in the morning? Oh yeah, to rake in the bribes.
Great campaign for Democrats to run on: raising taxes on the dead and their families
Thieving Democrats can be counted on to pick our pockets. Even with nails on the coffin, they find ways to get their grubby little hands in and take what isn't theirs.
Yeah, and now they want a RETROACTIVE law to tax estates starting 01/01/2010 even though they can't pass such a law until later in the year. Wonderful people. Vote 'em all out in 2010. Keep track of who votes for this.
Should idiots like Cindy McCain who never worked a day in her life, and inherited her money from her Mafia-connected father so she can continue to take drugs and hang around doing nothing forever?
I don't see why she should - she did nothing to earn it. Republicans want to tax those who make little money - if they are poor - but the richest who never work and yet have a luxury life? Oh, they shouldn't pay a cent for all the government legislation they benefit from.
Given that the red states are the poorest in America, when are the citizens of those states stand up and demand lower taxes for themselves rathere than have to pay taxes that the richest don't pay?
Dorothy Myers - why shouldn't the richest who INHERITED their money not have to pay a cent for all the government help they get? They didn't earn the money - their parents or grand parents or great grand parents did.
Why do you want to support a life of luxury by those who haven't earned a cent from working?
Is it because you think someday your parents might win the lottery and then you can wait for them to die, so you can take the money?
Bill Glasheen wrote:
Thieving Democrats can be counted on to pick our pockets."
Did you personally inherit a large sum of money? And now are sitting on your behind not working since you already have enough to live on?
In other words are you one of those poeple who think the world owes them a living while you do nothing at all to earn any money? People like Cindy McCain whose gigolo John also lives on her inherited wealth?
DaveinPhoenix wrote:

You have to have inherited at least a million bucks to have to pay the inheritance tax.
I'm supposed to feel sorry for them if they have to pay some of it in the taxes that otherwise you and me have to pay?
To all you wealthy readers out there, make sure you lock your bedroom door every night in 2010 and check under your car's hood before you start the car. With all the love expressed on these WSJ message boards, you never know............
Suppose we think that our parents (and grandparents etc.) economic heritage belongs to us by nature, in the same way as do our names, our DNA, and our moral ideas; that is, suppose we thought that inheritance was a matter of natural right and natural justice. Would it not then be clear that for government to take it away from us, in any measure, is presumptively the kind of injustice called stealing?
The idea that even the smallest part of our parents' inheritance may be rightly taken away from us by government because "we didn't earn it" assumes "we" means only ourselves; it assumes that each of us comes into the world without being part of "we" extended in time and hence have neither a rightful claim on, nor duties of gratitude towards, the blessings bequeathed to us by those who gave us life. This "presentist" individualism denies that our lives are an inter-generational set of rights and duties. This denial sits well with those who think we (i.e. those now living) have an unlimited right to dispose of (even dispense with) our heritage, whether economic (taking our inheritance), liberty (taking over our power over our health care), intellectual (what great books?) or moral (redefining marriage). Thus does individualism dispose each generation towards revolutionary change and unlimited government.
Makes for some strange bedfellows. Doesn't it?
When the government "earns" our undivided trust, maybe we'd have a different take on a program of double taxation and confiscation to salve the envy of the crowd who just won't face up to playng the hand they've been dealt. If you don't like your cards and the game, get up and leave the table -- don't overturn it for everyone else or write rules that turn people away.
Love the logic of these posters: it's ok because it's not you or me getting screwed. No actual justification for the estate tax, just "they can afford it". It's as if inheritance is inherently an injustice that must be rectified.
I guess we're all free to rob those who we feel don't deserve what they have.

text: When I first take the photo, I try to get as close to "full frame" as I can. Then later when I print, I will crop as needed. I do this for 35mm and 120 film. When shooting large format, I will be contract printing, so I just try my best to go "full frame" all the way through. It has nothing to do with any philosophy for or against cropping. For example, if I really missed the mark with the 8x10, I have no problem cutting the print down to 5x7 (cropping by chopping?). I'm not a purist, I'm a pragmatist. Whatever works within the confines of the medium and tools.

adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) prevents the body from producing enough cortisol.
Production of cortisol is controlled by the action of ACTH. ACTH is produced
by the
pituitary gland. This gland is controlled by
hypothalamus in the brain. If either the
hypothalamus or pituitary gland is damaged, less ACTH
is produced. This can lead to problems with the adrenal glands and reduced
cortisol production.
This may be caused by:
The symptoms of secondary adrenocortical insufficiency are similar to
those of
Addison's disease. (But darkening of the skin
and high levels of potassium in the blood are not present like they are in Addison's disease.)
With secondary adrenocortical insufficiency, only cortisol is low.
The adrenal glands can still make normal amounts of aldosterone. Symptoms
Diagnosis starts with a medical history and physical exam. If
your doctor suspects adrenal insufficiency, he or she will check your blood
cortisol and ACTH levels. You may have imaging tests of the
adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, or the hypothalamus.
If your doctor suspects secondary adrenocortical insufficiency, you
may get infusions of ACTH on 2 days in a row. In most cases, your
adrenal glands will make cortisol by the end of the
second treatment. This is true even if you
have problems with the
pituitary gland or
hypothalamus. If possible, your doctor will treat the condition that is
causing secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. Your doctor may start treatment
during the testing if he or she thinks adrenal insufficiency is likely. If
it turns out that you don't need treatment, you can stop treatment after testing is
CT scan or
MRI can be used to see
if there are signs of damage to the brain or pituitary gland (such as a
tumor) that is causing adrenal failure.

December 1, 2015
A 19-year-old was upgraded to fair condition Tuesday after being hit by a Caldwell police cruiser.
The accident happened just before 10 p.m. Monday on Highway 21.
According to the Department of Public Safety, James Keith Erwin was crossing the street when a squad car driven my Officer Cougan Hignight hit him.
Erwin was taken by helicopter to Scott and White in Temple, where he was upgraded from critical to fair condition Tuesday.
DPS is investigating the crash and officials say they will check Erwin's blood for drugs and alcohol. Erwin was wearing dark-colored clothing and was not crossing at a crosswalk, according to DPS officers.
In June, Officer Hignight was involved in a Caldwell shooting of a suspected robber. Hignight suffered a gunshot wound before killing suspect Louis Avrin.

text: Randy, thanks for being a great student. You followed the procedures and went home with several nice prints to frame. When one sees the mechanics of carbon printing it makes it easier to make progress. Carbon printing is a labor of love and it was nice to show you the whole process. The real bonus was sending you home with some nice carbon prints to frame.


text: dudes riding hard for the wackness of lil b, its also the reason Rap music aint took as serious no more and basically a clown show. Dudes like Lonely Island boyz getting it in, when about 10 years ago them dudes wouldnt even be allowed into any hip hop circle what so ever. Rap music lost cause the fans are frail and stupid. Its become a parody of itself, and it aint even funny.

OK, so it appears I might not get the whole political undertones of the previous post, but I have to agree about the support from others. Maybe they will all come out of the woodwork once something more firm is proposed....who knows.
But, I do think there needs to be a reality check here as well. While there are 51k members, how many of these have actually been active over the last 3 months? How many of these would buy the book? I think you would be struggling to sell 500 books, let alone 1000 or 2000, so the price will reflect this. As for POD (and based on Blurb), I would say you won't get away with a book for less then $50

Transylvania University's Morlan Gallery hosts a variety of exhibitions from September to May with an emphasis on work made within the last decade from Western and non-Western viewpoints. A "laboratory of thinking," the gallery encourages experimental installation, performance, and digital artworks, as well as more traditional media, such as painting, photography, and sculpture. Morlan is located on the main floor of the Mitchell Fine Arts Center, situated just off Fourth Street between North Broadway and Upper Streets, where parking is free, close by and ample, especially after 3 p.m. Click here for our campus map, driving directions, and parking lot locations.
The gallery is open weekdays, noon to 5 p.m., and by special appointment, simply call the gallery director at (859) 233-8142 to make arrangements. All events are free and open to the public, just go to the Calendar Overview to learn about our offerings this year!
The Morlan Gallery participates in the Lexington Gallery Hop, a self-guided tour of the visual arts in downtown Lexington, KY. Patrons visit the sites of their choice, beginning at any location. It occurs 5-8pm on the third Friday of January, March, May, July, September and November. Hop began 27 years ago and continues to be the premier event for the visual arts in Lexington. Admission is always free and sites present a new exhibit for each hop. Most sites offer refreshments for guests. We hope to see you in the Morlan Gallery at the next Gallery Hop!
Transylvania University's Morlan Gallery was launched when the Mitchelle Fine Arts Center was dedicated in the fall of 1966. Named after the late Mrs. Myrtle Critchfield Mitchell, president and chairman of the board of the Coca-Cola bottling plant of Lexington, the Mitchell Fine Arts Center was Transylvania's most ambitious physical plant undertaking up to that time.
|Art professor Dan Selter helping with the Morlan Gallery remodel as photographed for the March 1979 "Transylvania University Crier."
The Halford and Perywn Morlan Gallery was a tribute to the then late Halford J. Morlan, who was described as a "distinguished physician and churchman of Phoenix, Arizona, and to his wife, Perwyn Morlan, an artist whose work will long be treasured."
In 1978, Nancy Wolsk joined the university staff as a part-time instructor of art history and part-time gallery director. At the time, Wolsk said of the Morlan Gallery, "I am not displeased with the basic design of Morlan Gallery." However, the walls —which were covered with brown peg board—were an "optical frenzy" and were niched by structural beams.
That simply would not do.
With scarce funds, major wall construction was completed by professionals, but all the finishing work was left to Wolsk (now Dr. Nancy Wolsk, associate professor of art history) and art professor Dan Selter (now emeritus) and three dedicated work study students. It was a very long and difficult task that included filling thousands of nail holes, sanding the walls by hand, and donning respirators to seal the walls with polyester resin that reportedly filled the entire campus with a horrendous odor. The gallery was finally completed with the much appreciated help of a Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity pledge class.
Still in its original location—the main floor of the Mitchell Fine Art Center on Transylvania's historic campus—Morlan Gallery continues to offer art work that challenges, encourages a variety of viewpoints, and features work from artists around the world and around the corner. The peg board walls are thankfully long gone, but the pioneering spirit endures.
Founded in 1780, Transylvania is the nation's 16th oldest institution of higher learning and is consistently ranked in national publications as one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. Nestled in the heart of Lexington, Ky., Transylvania and the Morlan Gallery are vital parts of this creative city.

A few weeks ago, I made a full meal on the grill, grilled green beans, grilled vidalia onion, and some awesome grilled short ribs. The following are three recipes, techniques really, for making barbecued beef short ribs, cooking them start to finish on the grill, pre-cooking them and finishing them on the grill, and cooking them sous vide and finishing them on the grill. (If you don't have a wood or charcoal grill, I really don't recommend doing short ribs this way.) Use whatever your favorite barbecue sauce is, store bought or homemade. (I need to do a homemade barbecue sauce post! Anyone wants to make suggestions, feel free in comments.) I recommend the first method because it results in a deeply smokey flavor, and is a good excuse to hang out around the food and Read On »

Respecting Meatby Emilia |
By supporting local farmers for meat you maybe ignoring & perpetuating the existence of factory farms, learn the term "conscientious carnivorism", via the Atlantic.
I published this post almost two years ago, at the end of summer—but a chance email today thanking me for the technique dropped into my email box today and I thought let's put it up again at the start of grilling season. I'm not always real quick on the uptake, but I eventually get around to the right way, and the right way for perfect (and safe) burgers is to grind your own meat and make sure to include the right amount of fat (I don't believe that the cut is that critical). (For safe, raw ground beef, see this recent post on steak tartare.) Yes, I still buy ground beef occasionally but when I want to make a really good burger, I always grind the meat myself. Why go to the Read On »
Kalbi, Korean BBQby Emilia |
A great addition to your summer recipe list. Kalbi are sliced beef short ribs that are marinated and grilled, via Food 52.
I've been loving Jonathon Sawyer's Greenhouse Tavern in downtown Cleveland recently and after a joyous meal there not too long ago Donna asked to hang out and shoot. She'll be posting a gallery soon but the above is of one of my favorite dishes to eat, period. I can almost never help myself from ordering it when I see it on the menu. It's also something that's inexpensive and great to serve at home, and easy if you have a grinder (or a sharp knife—some of the best tartare I've had is roughly chopped beef). Chef Brian Reilly (pictured above) made it for us the other day. Greenhouse grinds beef tenderloin to order with an old fashioned hand crank grinder, seasons it with salt and pepper and olive oil, puts a soft poached egg on Read On »


text: EuroGamer: "You can't accuse Vergil's Downfall of being more of the same, and Ninja Theory should be commended for offering up a punchy side dish with action that boasts its own distinct flavour. Whether you'd rather just return for a second helping of the main course is really just a matter of taste, though it's still hard to not walk away thinking that Vergil's a fighter who's condemned to stay in Dante's shadow." 7/10

"Education should indeed be responsive to the needs of society. But this is not the same as regarding yourself as a service station for neocapitalism. In fact, you would tackle society's needs a great deal more effectively were you to challenge this whole alienated model of learning. Medieval universities served the wider society superbly well, but they did so by producing pastors, lawyers, theologians, and administrative officials who helped to sustain church and state, not by frowning upon any form of intellectual activity that might fail to turn a quick buck." Terry Eagleton on good form.
"Where you see gadget, I see process. Moreover, where you see prose, I see poetry: for the UK will continue to have no manufacturing all the while it has lost its collective sense of the poetry of production. The ignominious application of production line metaphors to (the actually very creative) industrial life has helped alienate people from the process of making: whereas Lean Manufacturing instead helps to reconnect workers with the project as a whole, by seeing waste as a thing that erodes value, and that corrodes the relationship between customer and producer by making it unnecessarily fragile and contingent." There's lots to recommend in this piece. I'm not sure I agree about software, even ignoring my vested interested and perspective, but there's so much else of value in here. I think this paragraph spoke most to me, though.
"When a product is connected to the network it has two brains. A little local one that can perform cheap calculation, and a big one in the network that can do potentially anything at all: massive facial recognition, searching all of Amazon, advanced artificial neural networks, whatever." It's great that Matt's writing so much again – but "little brain, big brain" is a great explanation of the concept.
"Command line work isn't a separate task that should live on its own—it's an integrated part of your natural workflow. DTerm provides a context-sensitive command line that makes it fast and easy to run commands on the files you're working with and then use the results of those commands." This looks great. Will report back on it.
"This is where I write about social & political stuff, mostly relating to sex. Yes, there's going to be a book. As an ex-sex worker, you can imagine what my bias is. Nevertheless, I am also a scientist, so will do my best to present the evidence base for each post." Brooke's new blog. This looks like it could be good.
"I am currently using heart measurement equipment for an experiment as part of my PhD and for fun (N=1 isn't usually great Science) I thought I would bring the equipment home last weekend and see what my heart looks like when I am playing a mutliplayer game of Halo Reach (Slayer DMRs on Zealot – Blue Team). Here is what I found."
"Leave the libraries alone. You don't know the value of what you're looking after. It is too precious to destroy." I know that the rhetoric works better as a speech than in writing; still I can't help but agree with this. It tugs at things important to me, and what a small village public library meant for my childhood.
"I missed the selection, the album art, and the dusty trays and hand-written CD-Rs. The absence of the compact disk reminded of another format that had recently gone away: the 3.5" floppy diskette. The Floppy Stereo attempts to recreate that ceremony within a single device. An album's playlist file is stored on a floppy disk, complete with the album art. When it is loaded, the playlist is read and retrieves the songs from my MP3 collection." There's a similar tactility in the 3.5" disk to, say, an eight-track cart. I like that.
"The history of roads is the history of ourselves: our desire for community and our fears about its fragility; our natural instinct to expand the possibilities of life set against our premonitions of death, destruction and loss; and our fierce arguments about what is valuable and beautiful about the world. But this history, like the road itself, is full of loose ends and detours, unfinished stories and stalled narratives."
"Code-Point Open is a dataset that contains postcode units, each of which have a precise geographical location."
"This is a proposed draft of the Don't Be a Dick license for open source projects. The purpose of this license is to permit the broadest feasible scope for reuse and modification of creative work, restricted only by the requirement that one is not a dick about it." Much to recommend here.
"…we haven't been able to find the right publishing partner for Quarrel. Despite the game being finished, super polished, and everyone who plays it having great fun with it, we've slowly been remembering why we got out of the traditional games industry for so long and escaped to Interactive Television in the first place: this industry doesn't value good games. Players do, but the games industry doesn't. Instead it values low risk games – not even "calculated" risk games, just low risk." Such a shame; Quarrel has been looking great, and Denki know their games; it's absurd that this is the outcome facing Denki in 2010.
"Those of you who watch a lot of Hollywood movies may have noticed a certain trend that has consumed the industry in the last few years. It is one of the most insidious and heinous practices that has ever overwhelmed the industry… I speak of course, of THE COLOR GRADING VIRUS THAT IS TEAL & ORANGE!!!" Oh dear. An entertaining follow up to that great Stu Maschwitz post on 'porange'.
"10 years ago, on this Friday in March of 2000, the Dot.Com bubble burst in the UK." [This is very good, Simon Wistow!]
"Institutions are platforms / Sketching in things". Chris' introduction from the #mbsp SXSW panel; really good stuff, and that was only the introduction! Would have loved to have seen the whole thing.
"Somewhere in the future, a picture of David Minor—in jeans and a tie, face beatific under a studio light, sleeves rolled up to expose the Eugene Debs quote tattooed on his arm—is berthed in a database table in off-system storage, waiting to be remade." Lovely, sharp, writing from Joel Johnson.
"It boils Digital Britain down to three Ms – media, music and movies – myopically ignoring the pioneers of new technology, and ?
showing a blind spot for all creativity outside the so-called creative industries… Instead of empowering digital Britons, the bill follows the lead of music and movie corporations, who already apply a presumption of guilt to their customers. Instead of treating the web as a platform of possibilities, it recasts it as a tool for mass theft." Excellent, excellent leader from the Guardian on the frankly scandalous digital economy bill.
"…maybe this is the best of both worlds. An audience that, having crossed the barriers to entry, is by its nature more invested in our work; a public profile by which we have the means to occasionally reach into the mass consciousness, but which affords us the freedom to continue experimenting with subject, form, and style; an industry which is truly international; which is capable of producing both multi-million dollar blockbusters and single-creator labors of love (and releasing both on the same platform); which manages to be neither too big nor too small, and is the more vital, unique and exhilarating for it. We are a medium for us, and while there are more and more of us every day, we'll never be for everyone. In a way, that's beautiful." I think Steve's about right.
"I did a set of four walks in Austria; two long ones, two short ones. I did some "daystreaming" where using bits of technology I was updating my location, status and pictures as I walked." Ambient information gathering, whilst taking in the outdoors, and all for charity. Lovely.

SPIEGEL Interview with Umberto Eco: 'We Like Lists Because We Don't Want to Die' – SPIEGEL ONLINE – News – International"The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order — not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopedias and dictionaries." Eco on lists.
"Today, the UK government's Department For Transport unveils a new browser-based MMOG, created by New York-based developer Area/Code.

Code Of Everand is the result of over two years of work with the Department For Transport by Area/Code principals and designers Frank Lantz and Kevin Slavin, not only because of its size and ambition, but also because of the complexities of developing it for a government body… We spoke to Lantz, Slavin and Simon Williams, who led the project at Carat, the Department For Transport's media agency, about what Code Of Everand is, how they pulled it off, and why they think it could prove that games can be a powerful platform for learning." Edge interview.
Wonderful, wonderful interview with Eggleston. So much care and attention in the work and the way he describes it; so many lovely illustrations. The "color scripts" alone are great, but really, it's all worth your time.
"…the print method buffers the output. The easiest way to get around this (for a situation like the above) is to set the sync property on $stdout." Aha. That's where I've been going wrong!
"The Guardian is prevented from identifying the MP who has asked the question, what the question is, which minister might answer it, or where the question is to be found. The Guardian is also forbidden from telling its readers why the paper is prevented – for the first time in memory – from reporting parliament. Legal obstacles, which cannot be identified, involve proceedings, which cannot be mentioned, on behalf of a client who must remain secret. The only fact the Guardian can report is that the case involves the London solicitors Carter-Ruck, who specialise in suing the media for clients, who include individuals or global corporations." Oh, I'm looking forward to the next Private Eye.
Receipt as information design. Cabel is right: why do you get this *after* the meal? Other than that: an interesting move, and good use of space.

CONSIDERING THE COST OF MY LIVE STOCKS, THIS UNIT IS WORTH IT'S PRICE. WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER IN THE NEAR FUTURE Does what it says on the tin, but short of perfect By Tony on 9/13/2011 Tony would recommend this product to a friend The backup unit is housed in an aluminum housing that's been painted white. It has flanges on the rear with holes for mounting screws, although unfortunately it does not come with any screws. It does, however, come with 2 fused connecting cables that can be used either for 2 pumps or a pump and a 2nd battery. Interestingly, this battery backup unit can also be used for the new EcoTech LED lighting units in addition to the pumps, which means it's a much more complete backup solution if your setup is all-EcoTech. The battery packs are apparently not user-replaceable. The built-in trickle charger has a small and light side-mounting "wall wart" that incorporates a status LED. My unit came fully charged and worked properly when I tested it by cutting off power to the pump. It remains to be seen whether it will work for the full 72 hours advertised with an MP10, but so far indications are good. Recommended over a traditional UPS because it can be hidden away and because it will have a much longer runtime.

Has anyone had tandem wheels with too few spokes? What were the related problems and what is your team wt. and what rims? I know TG likes 36 holes and Zonatandem uses 32/36 but maybe they don't even need that many!
Has anyone had tandem wheels with too few spokes? What were the related problems and what is your team wt. and what rims? I know TG likes 36 holes and Zonatandem uses 32/36 but maybe they don't even need that many!
My wife and I rode on a pair of Campy Sciroccos for over a year with no problems whatsoever and they were 20/27hole wheels front radial spoked and rear G3 style.
I'm 200lbs and my wife is 108, we're both climbers and we ride hard. I put them on as a " try and see" wheelset and we left them on for a season and a half with no truing whatsoever and surprisingly they were plenty stiff enough for us to climb out of saddle and haul butt up hills plus they were tight in fast, hot curves and switchbacks.
Very surprising for an inexpensive set of fairly light wheels.
I've since built a set of DT Swiss 1.1frt/1.2rear on White Industry hubs 32h front and rear. Love these wheels and they're very light, strong.
- Durability: Do they only need to be trouble/worry-free for a few hundred miles / race use, for a few thousand miles / occassional use, or tens of thousands of miles / avid tandem enthusiast use? For teams like us who log 3,500 - 5,000 miles a year on our tandem on a variety of good and bad roads, the last thing we want to be bothered with is any concerns about wheel durability: potholes happen. Being able to smack a wheel into a pothole or road hazard at 25 mph and being able ride finish the ride after patching the flat(s) is my benchmark for day-to-day wheel durability.
- Stability: How hard do you drive your tandem through technically challenging road conditions and how sensitive are you to how your tandem handles? Do you have a short or tall stoker and do you ride clean or is your team less than polished? Do you do a lot of riding out of the saddle? I've said it before and I'll say it again, unless you've done a lot of back-to-back tire and wheel testing on your tandem you may or may not know how your wheel and tire selection influences the handling characteristics of your tandem. Moreover, given that "handling" is the most subjective of all matters when it comes to bicycles and tandems, basing your own decisions on feedback regarding how wheels work well for teams of given weights may or may not be of any value. IMHO, I've seen just about as many folks riding tandems that fit poorly as those that are riding tandems that don't handle as well as they could for certain teams by simply watching their riding lines and the front wheel/arm action of the captain or following them through corners.
- Weight/Drag: Do you have a valid reason for wanting to reduce wheel weight/drag or are you simply pursuing gram shaving for the sake of shaving grams? Shaving off 200 - 400 grams on a tandem that weighs 15,890 grams (1.25% - 2.5%) might seem reasonable; however, the truth of the matter is that the weight you're really trying to reduce is the total weight of the bike and riders which for a mid-weight team might notionally be closer to 175,000 grams where you're now looking at a reduction of less than .002%. There's no doubt about it, lighter and more aero wheels FEEL great and may even shave a few ticks off the clock on your closed-loop times or raise your average speed a few 10ths of a MPH. However, dropping 5 lbs of body weight or improving your fitness will usually do the same thing. Reducing aero drag is analagous to shaving grams for most teams. Of course, the easiest way to go faster with less effort on a two-wheeled machine is to add an engine and tattoos.
- Repairabilty: Back to the observation about our preference for 36h, at close to 50k miles on our tandems, lots of dinged rims but no broken spokes and there are a few wheelsets with well over 10k miles in the fleet and have seen similar 36h wheelsets with 25k+ trouble-free miles. Also, don't forget that parts interchangability and field repair are also things to consider when selecting wheels for tandems. We run 36h front & rear only because it means I can use the same rim for the rear that I use on the front. If we never ventured far from home this would not be a big deal and I'd likely have a 32h front / 36h rear and might even elect to use something like Sapim CX-Ray spokes. However, if for some reason we found ourselves on tour with a damaged rear wheel, the fix would be complicated several fold if we had an unusual or asymetrical wheelset.
- Application specific: If someone really needs racing wheels then by all means they should acquire the appropriate type of wheel for those racing applications. If someone wants to add some bling to their tandem vis-a-vis sexy racing wheels, knock yourself out. Hey, I've got a few sets for our single bikes and I'm certainly not racing: they look great and spin-up with ease. However, they also cost a lot of coin so when and where they get used is subject to some fore thought. My single bikes will usually sport 32h conventional wheels 95% of the time because, god forbid I bash the rim of a Campy G3 Eurus while farting around on a casual evening ride. We will most likely end up with a set of uber-wheels for our tandem as well, but they will see far less use than the 36h day-to-day wheelset unless Debbie finds their ride qualities/comfort to be so far superior to our conventional wheels that she requests them for that day-to-day duty.
Bottom Line: If you don't know what you need, then any wheelset will do... at least for a while.

Thanks TandemGeek. My stoker and I are waiting for our Co-Motion Speedster (about 1.5 weeks out...). I've been feeling kinda dumb for ordering more rather than fewer spokes given some of the conversations on this board. Your rational and kind explaination let me completely off the hook.
Truth is, my stoker and I have lost a combined 40 pounds of body weight and have greatly improved our fitness in our first year of serious tandem riding. The wheels will be shiny and new even if they may have a few extra grams because of the extra spokes.
Brewer & Malkin
No, we ride on Shimano Sweet Sixteen tandem wheels, like them and have no problems - 4600 miles. We weigh 275 and race our tandem.
Our assessment of low spoke count wheels...In general, aero trumps weight in wheel design but for the steeper climbs. There is not very good data available for tandems but if you do research on road racing, time trialing or watch professional racing on TV, you will not that the pros use lower spoke count deep dish wheels. And they use them in the mountains unless it is a very steep all uphill TT or road race.
Here is a web site and forum that discusses performance. http://biketechreview.com/forum/ It is dominated by TTs but there is a lot of discussion on wheels, spoke count, aerodynamics and rolling resistance. A deeper rim, low spoke count wheel trumps a 32 or higher spoke count wheel and produces less drag. As the speed increases, the value of aero wheels increase.
My take is that lower spoke count wheels provide added benefit to tandem teams climbing due to lower weight and reduced drag, but provide the most benefit on long rides at higher speeds such as on centuries i.e. less power required for the same speed.
Is is material? I have done my own assessment using the data from http://biketechreview.com/forum/ using 32 spoke standard wheels v lower spoke count wheels and say yes it is.
Having said all that techy stuff, IMHO, I think they look cool, have a high schwagg factor and make the look of the bike. If I had to replace mine tomorrow and all I could get out of a set of wheels was 5000 miles, I would buy them again
Many tandem owners -- present company included -- are merely following the cues of the single bike crowd and moving away from the lowly component wheelsets towards the integrated wheels for a variety of reasons.
While many will cite the plethora of performance data points associated with these wheels to justify their expense, it is indeed the aesthetics / bling / hi-zoot / farkle* / esteem factors that loosen up those wallets to release the extra Franklins needed to acquire them.
We've tasted the forbidden fruit from one manufacturer and were both impressed and dismayed by the performance, noting that there were some trade-offs. We've closed the book on that experiement and will probably embark on another one with yet another set of uber-wheels just to see what they have to offer when compared to our benchmark, 36h conventional wheelsets.
*Fancy Accessory Really Kool & Likely Expensive
I find that 16 spokes per wheel is just the right number...not too many or too few.
Just as Motzart said that his music contained neither too many or too few notes.
I'm thinking some Zipp 1080 rims laced to White Hubs would have a very high farkle factor.
Again, for comparison purposes on weight / cost / configuration of 700c tandem wheelsets:
2,603 grams for a set of Hadley / Velocity Fusion wheels (145mm) @ $650.00** [40/40 x 25mm deep]
2,418 grams for a set of DT / Velocity Dyad wheels (145mm) @ $675.00** [40/40 x 24mm deep]
2,245 grams for the Bontrager Race Lite (145mm) @ $660.00* [24/24 x 30mm deep]
2,207 grams for the Shimano Sweet 16 (160mm, pre '06 models) [16/16 x 28mm deep]
2,077 grams for the Shimano Sweet 16 (160mm, Current) @ $1,050** [16/16 x 28mm deep]
2,047 grams for a set of Zipp 808/White Ind hubs (145mm) @ $2,200** [18/24 x 82mm deep]
2,010 grams for a set of 36h White Ind. hubs / Velocity Deep-V wheelset (145mm) @ $550* [36/36 x 30mm deep]
1,910 grams for a set of 36h White Ind. hubs / Velocity Fusion wheelset (145mm) @ $550* [36/36 x 25mm deep]
1,875 grams for a set of Rolf Prima Vigor (145mm) (Pre-'08) [20/24 x 34mm deep]
1,830 grams for a set of Rolf Prima Vigor (145mm) (Current) @ $849* [20/24 x 30mm deep]

My Santana came with 36 spoke Fir W400 rims and Hadley hubs with 14 gauge spokes and brass nipples.
I haven't weighed them stripped down yet has anyone else?
I'm curious what the weight of the rims and hubs separately is compared to other choices out there.
Still no responses with problems encountered with not enough spokes.
Hey TG, you've twice mentioned some future uber wheels. What's left for you to try, Topolino perhaps? I have yet to read of anyone comparing those wheels side-by-side with other wheels.
2007 Tandem Owners Survey
Frankly, it's pretty hard to get folks to fess up when they drop some serious coin on high-end bikes and equipment that doesn't meet their expectations. In many cases, good-will extended by their dealer or manufacturer in getting a problem solved (or hope that good will may be forth coming) will also temper the remarks that folks will make in a public forum. I myself will employ self censorship now and again for a wide variety of reasons.

What about some tandem spec lightweights for the list? Very expensive but probably not much more than 1kg, plus you save a little weight on the tubulars as well.
By field servicable, that means a damaged rim or broken spoke can be replaced by someone who knows how to build, true and tension wheels using either a spoke wrench or 5.5mm spoke socket driver & tensiometer. Admittedly, replacing a rim or a spoke on the more exotic wheels is far more expensive than with conventional wheels. However, and perhaps surprisingly, the very exotic Topolinos may be easier to work with than the Bontrager, Rolf's or Shimano Sweet 16's as the higher spoke count Topolino wheels don't rely on unusually high tension settings and can be checked using a Park or DT Tensiometer.
As for the cost of repairs, I'm not sure what Bongrater, Rolf or Shimano charge for a replacement rim, but I suspect it's probably on par with the $90 Topolino replacement rim cost. I was also surprised to learn a Topolino replacement hub/spoke half was only $65, plus a $100 core charge that's refunded upon return of the damaged unit.
The Lightweight wheels, as best as I can tell, are not field serviceable as they used carbon spokes that are bonded to the rim. Therefore, a damaged rim or spoke would necessitate a return to the vendor for service.
Of course, the risk with any of these exotic wheels is long-term supportability. I have no doubt I will be able to use a my conventional bicycle hubs until the end of my days via the use of replacement bearings, rims and spokes of my choosing. However, if Bontrager, Rolf, Shimano, or Topolino discontinued their tandem wheel product line for any reason, obtaining any needed proprietary parts or support in the future could prove to be a challenge.

Our rims are Velocity Aerohead mated to Chris King hubs utilizing DT Revolution spokes. Front: 32H; rear:36H.
We weigh just under 250 lbs as a tandem team. We normally ride 5 days a week, year round, on the tandem. We no longer ride aggressively (bit of an age factor there!).
Have over 18,000 miles on the wheelset. One very small problem: broke a spoke nipple on front wheel, at just under 18,000 miles.
Road surfaces in Arizona vary, but most are chipsealed.
Would I get a wheelset like that again.? Yes.
What other wheelset would we seriously consider? Topolino.
Experience with Topolinos: have them on my single racing bike and no issues. Have used the front Topo on our tandem.
Pedal on TWOgether!

personally i ride on 48 spokes front and rear, i don't like broken spokes and i know i can always true a 48 spoke wheel even if i do break one.

WSA - she looks red dun. She has the apricot tone of a red dun foal, as well as the dorsal that clearly runs into her tail. As well as this, she also has some pretty easy to see ear tipping, another dun factor trait, and I think I can also see some faint leg barring in the shot where you can see her legs.
However, that is just a guess based entirely on the phenotype of the foal. Until I know the colours of both parents, I would not be willing to say I was 100% certain. She could just be a chestnut foal with heavy foal camouflage.
