In psychogeography, a dérive (French: [de.ʁiv], "drift") is an unplanned journey through a landscape, usually urban, on which the subtle aesthetic contours of the surrounding architecture and geography subconsciously direct the travellers, with the ultimate goal of encountering an entirely new and authentic experience. Situationist theorist Guy Debord defines the dérive as "a mode of experimental behavior linked to the conditions of urban society: a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances." He also notes that "the term also designates a specific uninterrupted period of dériving."[1]
The concept of the dérive has its origins in the Letterist International of the 1940s, an artistic and political collective based in Paris, where it was a critical tool for understanding and developing the theory of psychogeography, defined as the "specific effects of the geographical environment (whether consciously organized or not) on the emotions and behavior of individuals."[1] The dérive, an unplanned tour through an urban landscape directed entirely by the feelings evoked in the individual by their surroundings, served as the primary means for mapping and investigating the psychogeography of these different areas.
The dérive continued to be a critical concept in the theories of the Situationist International, a radical group of avant-garde artists and political theorists that succeeded the Letterist International in the 1950s. For the situationists, the dérive was a technique for exploring an urban landscape's psychogeography and engaging in new experiences. According to situationist theorist Guy Debord, in performing a dérive, the individual in question must first set aside all work and leisure activities, clearing their minds of all their usual motives for movement and action, then let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.
Dérives are necessary, according to situationist theory, because of the increasingly predictable and monotonous experience of everyday life in advanced capitalism.[2] The dérive grants a rare instance of pure chance, an opportunity for an utterly new and authentic experience of the different atmospheres and feelings generated by the urban landscape.[2] Debord observes in his Introduction to a Critique of Urban Geography:
The sudden change of ambiance in a street within the space of a few meters; the evident division of a city into zones of distinct psychic atmospheres; the path of least resistance that is automatically followed in aimless strolls (and which has no relation to the physical contour of the terrain); the appealing or repelling character of certain places — these phenomena all seem to be neglected. In any case they are never envisaged as depending on causes that can be uncovered by careful analysis and turned to account.— Guy Debord, Introduction to a Critique of Urban Geography[3]
Several groups have adopted the concept of the dérive and applied it in their own form, including many modern organizations, most notably the London Psychogeographical Association, Wrights and Sites (notably the mis-guided drifts of mythogeographer Phil Smith) and the Providence Initiative for Psychogeographic Studies. Since 2003 in the United States, separate events known as Provflux and Psy-Geo-conflux have been dedicated to action-based participatory experiments similar to the dérive, within the context of psychogeography.

Let $x$ and $y$ be unique real numbers. How do you prove that there exists a neighborhood $P$ of $x$ and a neighborhood $Q$ of $y$ such that $P \cap Q = \emptyset$?

Hint: open intervals of length $e$ centered at $x$ and $y$ are such neighborhoods, and if $e$ is small enough, they will not intersect. How small does $e$ have to be for this to happen?
Without loss of generality, assume $x < y$. then $x\in(-\infty, (x + y)/2)$ and $y \in ((x+y)/2,\infty)$.
As an alternative approach, prove (or reference the fact) that for any two distinct real numbers $x,y$, there is a rational number $q$ lying between them. If we assume (without loss of generality) that $x<y$, then $(x-1,q)$ and $(q,y+1)$ do the trick.

Today marks the beginning of the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East 2014 in Boston, MA.
This year the convention turns 10, and no expenses were spared.
As the first major open gaming convention of the year, there are a lot of announcements that developers and publishers will be trying to make.
As thousands make their way to the convention center today, the social media hype remains intense, with rumors of announcements flying everywhere!
Naturally there is also a little bit of friendly competition and each companies wants to leave this glamorous weekend with the goal of having produced the best or most controversial announcement that will stick in peoples mind for months (or at least until E3 in June).
One company that is on everyone's radar this weekend is Blizzard.
The gaming mega-house has recently hit the gold mine with highly successful games such as "Hearthstone" and "Diablo III: Reaper of Souls". Their upcoming expansion to the highly thriving World of Warcraft series "Warlords of Draenor" is also sure not to disappoint and highly anticipated. However, the game that seems to be generating the most hype lately is their newest announced project, Heroes of the Storm.
"Heroes of the Storm" is Blizzard's new take on the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) genre.
Bringing back popular characters from all their games (regardless of franchise) and giving the users a high definition, yet cartoony Warcraft 3 type experience, Blizzard has truly captivated their audience and have seemingly produced a masterpiece.
Today, much to the public's joy, Blizzard didn't waste any time and instantly made an announcement regarding "Heroes of the Storm".
There will be 4 new playable heroes that players will be able to enjoy.
These heroes, as seen in the picture released with this article are:
- Brightwing
- Zagara
- Murky
- LiLi
Are you looking forward to playing these characters? Which Blizzard game have you been looking forward to?

GOJ deaf to car dealers' tax-reduction appeal - ADA warns falling auto sales will kill jobs
Avia Collinder, Business Writer
The delayed effect of new import duties implemented in May is now being felt by new-car dealers, who warn that jobs will be lost without a rollback of the 50 per cent tax hike.
The dealers say the policy shift has resulted in a 30 per cent reduction in sales.
But, they are not getting much response from the Ministry of Finance, whose primary focus is finalising a bailout deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Finance Minister Dr Peter Phillips in May announced an increase in the Common External Tariff (CET) from 20 per cent to 30 per cent for motor vehicles with engines bigger than two litres, including SUVs and pickups.
The vehicles were part of a select group of imports, which also included jewellery and some alcoholic beverages, from which the Government aimed to raise J$1.95 billion of a new J$19.5 billion tax package.
Since the June 1, 2012 implementation of the new duty, dealers say volume sales have been sinking.
Kent LaCroix, president of the Automobile Dealers Association (ADA), said some dealers have maintained sales by sacrificing revenue, through "heavy discounting to get rid of accumulated stock".
LaCroix says the Government is likely to end up with less than J$6 billion in direct taxes usually collected from the sector.
But the Government has not been discernibly swayed by the argument.
"What we asked for in the Ministry Paper and presentation made to Parliament in February was that we understand the Government is having difficulties, we understand IMF discussions are taking place, but what we would like to propose is that no new duties be put in place for another year," said LaCroix.
"Give us a chance to prove that we can make more money," he said.
The ADA head was speaking against the background that the deal brokered between the last administration and the dealers was for J$180 million in additional tax collected in exchange for duty reductions.
Some J$480 million was realised instead, doubling the estimates for revenue, according to LaCroix.
Appeals to the current administration that additional revenue could be realised without increases have so far fallen on deaf ears.
"They have met with us, but we have not received much response. Meanwhile, revenue is going down in the new motor-vehicle segment," said the ADA president.
"We want to go back to duties as they were before May."
Up to May this year, he said, average sales for new-car dealers was approximately 540 vehicles monthly. Since June, sales have been averaging 435 per month.
"There are some dealers that are doing better than others - it all depends on what mix of vehicles they have," LaCroix said.
Still, financial analyst Dennis Chung is not sure that the current fall-off in sales is entirely the result of higher duties.
"While I agree that lower duties will result in greater demand, the reduction they are seeing is not just about higher duties. It is more influenced by the decline in the economy," said Chung.
The analyst, meantime, was not on board with a reduction in duties on all vehicles, saying that, as imports, autos consume foreign exchange.
"The logical thing to do is keep duties high on vehicles over a certain CC rating and bring to zero duties on fuel-efficient vehicles. This would mean more affordability for most and less fuel use," Chung said.
Stewart's Automotive Group reports that its sales are flat, which it links to the increased duties.
"The group finds itself in the position that our sales are flat and the pipeline of deposits are slowing. So rather than looking for growth to sustain our investment, we are looking at decreased revenue," said director Jackie Stewart-Lechler.
Mandate to create jobs
Adam Stewart, CEO of the ATL Group, has labelled the tax policy shift a potential job killer.
"When the duties where reduced, people were investing and employing people. That's what the Government's mandate is to do - to create employment. If your company can no longer manage overheads, of course it will start laying people off. This is counterintuitive to what we need as a people," Stewart said.
He said sales are down an average 18 per cent among brands sold by ATL's various dealerships, which are grouped under the ATL Automotives division.
Stewart said the company has reduced its margins on current stock in order to sell off inventory and make way for 2013 vehicles.
"We have to sell a certain number of cars every month to get to breakeven. In ATL, we have seen a fall of 18 per cent in sales. We have also ended up with a lot of excess stock," he said.
"We have cut our margins to nothing just to sell and get rid of cars. Effectively, this decision has cost my company eight months of its bottom line. We are all bleeding - we have people to pay, insurance costs to meet, mortgages to be serviced. We are selling less cars because people can't afford J$800,000 more or J$700,000 more on a Honda," said the ATL CEO.
LaCroix says 2013 might see staff cuts, if not closures.
The association said about 5,000 are employed by new-car dealers.
"Already we are seeing a decline in the volume of vehicles imported by each dealer and, naturally, fewer units of vehicles in their inventory. Vehicles that are sitting in bonded warehouses are costing the dealers money and are not generating any revenue for the Government," LaCroix said.
Stewart-Lechler contends that increased revenue can be realised through lowering duties.
"When we lobbied to decrease duties, the Government was very sceptical. But, we exceeded their guarantee two times. We are worried now because our pipeline is drying up. Our deposits are down," said the Stewart's Auto director.
We are concerned we are not going to get the growth we need," she said.
The finance ministry did not respond to requests for comment.

In a previous article, we discussed strategies for patients and their families to prepare for cardiac bypass surgery. This included tips and suggestions to reduce stress during the pre-operative consultation.
Details vary, but basics are basics.
While every cardiac surgery program is different and the details may vary, the general procedures are essentially the same. Some hospitals, particularly hospitals with large cardiac surgery programs, have specialty intensive care units designed specifically for cardiac surgery patients. Some surgeons prefer to perform more off-pump procedures, while others have specific protocols in place for rapid extubation, glucose control, fast-tracking for rapid discharge and cardiac rehabilitation.
In this article, we will talk about the one of the most stressful times for families and loved ones, the waiting period. Many surgical programs offer updates during the procedure to help reduce this worry, but it also helps to know more about the actual surgery process.
It also means that family members should feel confident enough to leave the waiting room to use the restroom, get a cup of coffee or take a lunch break without worrying that they will miss anything.
But, how long will surgery take? It depends on who you ask, and when the clock begins.
Many surgeons will cite "two or three hours" when speaking with patients and family. While this may be technically correct for the actual surgical time, it can cause undue stress and concern among family members. So – add two to three hours to this figure. This window covers many of the essential pre-surgical activities that take place before the surgeon makes his first incision.
The clock begins when the patient is wheeled away
For family members and friends, the clock starts ticking the moment their loved one is wheeled away, so that's where we will start the countdown. Why is this important? If we don't include the pre-surgical time in our operative estimates, family members are left glancing at their watches and worrying unnecessarily as the clock creeps past three to four hours.
The surgeon might just be getting started, but the family doesn't know that. So it is helpful for people to know that once the patient leaves the room, there is a lengthy process ahead, before surgery ever begins. This process includes several final checklists – patient confirmations like the WHO safety checklist and final preparations to be completed. The blood bank will be notified of the patient's arrival, along with the pharmacy. The anesthesiologist, the surgeon and other team members will come to see the patient in pre-operative holding to review much of the information and answer last minute questions.
The patient is then wheeled to the operating room. At this point, the anesthesiologist will start several intravenous lines for medication administration and hemodynamic monitoring. The patient may be given medication for relaxation or induction of anesthesia at this point. The patient will then undergo an extensive surgical scrub, with hair clipping as needed. The scrub is allowed to air dry for additional antibacterial effects, and additional monitors and electrodes are applied. A foley catheter with a temperature sensor will be inserted into the patient's bladder.
Another checklist will be completed, with the surgeon and the rest of the surgical team. The patient will be draped and positioned for surgery and the surgeon will do a last minute review of cardiac catheterization films before heading out of the room to perform a lengthy hand-washing procedure. Photos of target lesions may be posted for reference during surgery, depending on the surgeon's preference.
The anesthesiologist may place a transesophageal probe at this point. The surgeon's assistant or a secondary surgeon may begin harvesting vein from the patient's leg for use as conduit for bypass grafts.
When the surgeon completes his scrub, he will return to the operating theater where he will be gowned and gloved. The primary surgeon often checks the progress of the vein harvesting procedure as well as the quality of the vein removed before starting.
It is at this point, that he will make his first cut.
After the first incision
After the first chest incision, surgery usually proceeds fairly rapidly. The surgeon will isolate an artery from the chest, called the internal mammary artery to use as one of the grafts, and depending on the specifics of surgery (CPB or off-pump) will prepare the patient for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Then the surgeon will inspect and repair the vein harvested from the leg. Excess tissue is trimmed off, and the vein is measured for an accurate fit (not too much tension, not too much slack). This can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes.
This is when the actual revascularization or 'bypass' portion of the operation begins. Sewing the bypass grafts, weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, and completing the remainder of the surgery may take another one to two hours.
Surgery is over, now what?
Once surgery is completed, the surgeon will come and speak to waiting family and friends. The patient will then be transferred to an intensive care unit to recover from anesthesia and begin the post-operative healing process. Here the patient will be closely monitored by a team of people for those first critical hours after surgery.

iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 and next iPad Mini will have Apple's Touch ID sensor
Firm will bring fingerprint scanner to all non-iPod iOS devices
APPLE WILL CONFIGURE its upcoming iDevices, including the iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 and third generation iPad Mini, with Touch ID fingerprint scanners.
So said KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said in a research note seen by Macrumours, that Apple is planning to bring the Touch ID sensor, which presently is only on the iPhone 5S, to its next generation devices.
Kuo said, "Apple's Touch ID module should see shipments soar 233 percent in 2014. We believe every new iOS device launched this year will be equipped with Touch ID, including 4.7in and 5.5in new iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 2 with Retina display.
"Considering shipments of new products and iPhone 5S sales last longer than in 2013, we forecast unit sales of the fingerprint sensor module to grow 233 [percent] to 120 [million] for 2014."
That's not all Kuo has on his radar, as he also noted that Apple will tweak its Touch ID sensor to enhance its durability, with the firm perhaps looking to use tin. Apple reportedly plans to stick with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to produce the fingerprint sensors.
This matches previous reports, which said earlier this month that TSMC had already provided the first batch of Touch ID fingerprint sensors that will be used in the iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3.
Source code from an iOS update released in April also hinted that the fingerprint scanner will soon be coming to the iPad, adding further weight to this latest speculation. µ

KEVIN CRONIN: The Bike Cleveland board member, who occasionally heads the free Saturday morning social rides that depart from the Ohio City Bike Co-Op, shares what he sees as some of the city's most commuter-friendly streets.
Marginal Road — Pitted but scenic, this lesser-used street runs east-west along the northern edge of downtown. Riders can focus on the lake views while morning drivers clog up the Shoreway.
Euclid Avenue — This main downtown thoroughfare has a dedicated bike lane from University Circle to Cleveland State University. "It's an easy, safe, convenient way downtown if you're on the East Side," Cronin says.
St. Clair Avenue/Superior Avenue — Most downtown drivers use Chester and Carnegie to travel east-west, so Cronin says cyclists tend to use these wider streets with less traffic.

TUPELO – Dirt moved Monday on the $2.3 million Eason Boulevard bridge project, ending a year-long construction hiatus for the city's Major Thoroughfare Program.
About two dozen stakeholders gathered at the project site, near Town Creek, for a brief ceremony. They included U.S. Rep. Travis Childers, D-Miss., aides from Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., Mayor Jack Reed Jr. and members of the Major Thoroughfare Committee.
Also present were representatives from Carson Construction. The Carthage-based company won the contract to build the bridge, which will be finished by late summer or early fall next year.
Construction was supposed to have started more than a year ago, but governmental red tape combined with new funding rules plagued it from the start. Each time the city's Major Thoroughfare Committee thought it had the go-ahead to begin, a new rule or regulation would surface to thwart the process.
The bridge will sit parallel to an existing two-lane bridge that handles both east-and-west traffic on the five-lane boulevard. When it's done, one will take eastbound vehicles and the other will handle westbound traffic, thus alleviating the bottlenecks that occur when all five lanes squeeze onto the single bridge.
Money for the bridge will be provided almost exclusively from federal funds. Of its total cost, $1.2 million is coming from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the federal stimulus bill.
Most of the rest comes from federally earmarked money, said Phillip Harbor, Major Thoroughfare project director.
Any remaining costs will be paid from the Major Thoroughfare Project account, which is funded by city taxpayers in five-year phases. The Major Thoroughfare Committee is halfway through its current five-year phase.
In addition to the bridge, the volunteer-based group is building a road connecting west Tupelo to the Barnes Crossing commercial district. A portion of that project has been completed, but several more sections await construction.

"Family Man" Craig Campbell and Tony Ramos met on a flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas. Tony Ramos was on his way to get married, Craig Campbell was on his way to attend the ACM. It must have been fate that brought the two men together because Campbell agreed to sing at Tony's wedding.
Campbell's current single "Keep Them Kisses Comin" is climbing the country music charts, and on April 8 Bigger Picture Group shared the video of Craig Campbell singing at Tony Ramos and his bride Crystal's Vegas wedding. In the video, Craig Campbell says he is "fixing to go sing at this guy's wedding that I met on the plane." Tony Ramos and his bride Crystal's reception was at the Hilton Garden Inn.
Campbell comments, "Pretty cool! Burger King in the parking lot". His piercing blue eyes twinkling and a mischievous smile, Craig comments, "I can imagine it's gonna be crazy! All these rednecks from Georgia in Vegas to get married."
His easy-going nature is what makes Craig Campbell a fan favorite. In the video one can clearly see that the groom is moved to tears as he greets Craig. In the four minute video, Tony explains how he met Craig at the airport. The couple's guests tell how much they enjoy his music and one comments that "He's supposed to be on that awards show."
Campbell performed his current hit "Keep Them Kisses Comin" from his CD "Never Regret". In addition Craig sang one of the most emotional songs, "When She Grows Up" for Tony's dance with his daughters. Sitting on a stool at the reception with just his voice and his guitar, Campbell moves the guests to tears. In the video Campbell is show performing "All Night to Get There" and "Fish", both from his self-titled debut CD.
Fans can follow Craig Campbell on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and find tour dates on Craig Campbell's website.

TUESDAY, July 31, 2012 (MedPage Today) — Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who fail on treatment with a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor (sold under brand names such as Remicade, Humira, and Enbrel) may have a better response if they switch to rituximab (Rituxan) rather than trying a second TNF blocker, a comparative analysis suggested.
Patients who began taking rituximab were significantly more likely to have a moderate or good response on the clinical criteria established by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), according to Darren M. Ashcroft, PhD, and colleagues from the University of Manchester in England.
Those who switched also had a greater chance of having a significant improvement in physical function , the researchers reported in the August Arthritis Care & Research.
As therapeutic options for rheumatoid arthritis have proliferated, the clinical dilemma of choosing among them has arisen.
About one-third of patients stop anti-TNF therapy within a year, either because of adverse effects or a lack of efficacy.
Some of these patients have done well on another TNF inhibitor, but one earlier study suggested that disease activity and inflammation might be more favorable if patients switched to rituximab.
Rituximab differs from the TNF inhibitors, which target an inflammatory cytokine, in that its mechanism of action is through depletion of B cells.
To compare the two strategies, Ashcroft's group analyzed data from the British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register for patients who had adequate data on either the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) or the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).
The two types of patient data were analyzed separately to increase the statistical power.
Among patients analyzed according to DAS28 data — reflecting disease activity — 941 had switched to a second TNF inhibitor and 387 began treatment with rituximab.
The rituximab group tended to be older, had higher DAS28 scores, and were more likely to have other conditions as well as rheumatoid arthritis.
Among patients with HAQ data — reflecting patient-reported physical function — 693 used a second TNF inhibitor and 244 switched to rituximab.
For these patients, those on rituximab again were older and had more additional health conditions.
In the disease activity analysis, changes in DAS28 scores were similar, at −1.3 in patients on rituximab and −1.2 in those on an alternate TNF inhibitor.
However, EULAR response rates were higher in the rituximab group, with 17.1 percent having good responses, 37.7 percent having moderate responses, and 45.2 percent being nonresponders.
Corresponding rates in the alternate TNF group were 13.5 percent, 33.8 percent, and 52.7 percent, the researchers reported.
Actual remission was more common in the anti-TNF group, though not significantly so).
This may have been related to baseline differences in DAS28 scores, according to the researchers, and once baseline characteristics were adjusted for in the propensity score calculation, there was a significantly greater likelihood for a moderate or good response with rituximab.
In the analysis according to physical function, the changes in HAQ score were similar, at −0.11 in patients on a second TNF inhibitor and −0.13 in the rituximab group.
But patients in the rituximab group more commonly achieved a 22-point minimum clinically important improvement in their HAQ scores.
However, the majority of patients on both treatments did not have a clinically important improvement in physical functioning, "which may suggest an irreversible physical disability in those patients who already have failed 1 anti-TNF therapy," Ashcroft and colleagues observed.
Limitations of this analysis included a lack of information as to whether treatment failure was considered primary or secondary, and inadequate data to explore factors that might predict response.
In addition, it included only patients who had failed a single TNF inhibitor, and in clinical practice patients may have taken two or more of these agents.
Future research will be needed to assess responses in patients with multiple previous TNF inhibitors, and also to examine the effects of switching to newer agents such as abatacept (Orencia) and tocilizumab (Actemra).
"These results suggest that, in clinical practice, for patients who had failed a first anti-TNF therapy, it may be better to start [rituximab] at this point rather than switching to a second anti-TNF therapy," the researchers concluded.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 22 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sah0905 Great Buy Especially On Sale This is a sturdy, attractive bookcase. Easy to assemble. Lots of shelf options. Works well in my small office - lets paint color show through, not too "heavy". January 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MGW13 Excellent value for purchase I saw it in store and was able to pick up the same day. Easy to assemble and is very sturdy. Also came with a kit to anchor to the wall. Made of solid wood and not MDF! would recommend with desk which we also purchased. August 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by AELV Very happy! I've been very happy with the Campaign Bookshelf. It was relatively easy to assemble solo. It's very solid - no wobbles - and it looks fantastic. It also arrived fairly quickly. I do think it's a wee bit on the expensive side, but overall I'm very happy! March 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by researchnut A bookcase that is easy to assemble, sturdy and attractive! Decided on this purchase due to other reviews and the positive ones were absolutely correct in my experience. I do genealogy research as a serious hobby and it was terrific to get all of my library together in one convenient location in my office. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsB Love this bookshelf! I have nothing negative to say about this bookshelf. It was easy to assemble, has a great, rustic look, and is sturdy. We were very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend this product. February 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeachChris Perfect match with Campaign Desk Sturdy, perfect size and the match to the Campaign Desk couldn't be better. I put it together by myself in approximately 2 hrs., and that was with a cast on one arm. I love the industrial type of look in my new home office. My only complaint, and it's not related to the item itself, was the Fed Ex delivery man. If I didn't catch him dropping it off, he was leaving it at the bottom of my stairs to home entrance, in front of my garage. I would have expected him to come to my door and either leave it there (huge entrance upstairs) or at least ask. January 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julz13 The product looks just like the one in the store. We were very pleased with how quickly the bookshelf was assembled and how much space it offers. We love the rustic look and sturdiness. December 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jojosadvent Wonderful Look, Great Value, Straightforward Assembly What a lovely piece. The grey-washed wood is dignified yet warm and would complement many styles. It's sturdy and a functional use of space. Like another reviewer mentioned: the assembly is fairly simple and easier than IKEA products and feels remarkably solid. If you think the price is too high, I challenge you to find anything at all comparable that's less than $500. I'll be buying another with my next paycheck. :] October 4, 2013

Release Date: 2007-09-14
Genre: Comedy,
Rating: R
Duration: 1hr 46min
Martin answers an ad to train as a record producer, where he's excited by the prospect of signing undiscovered artists. The company, called Great World of Sound, partners shy, unassuming Martin with the gregarious Clarence and sends them on the road, visiting southern towns where the company has placed newspaper ads and turning motels into makeshift audition studios. Though an unlikely duo, they sign more acts than anyone else at the company. But when Martin takes a special interest in a young girl's "New National Anthem," putting up his own money and following her progress, he discovers that something's amiss with the enterprise. As things threaten to unravel, he's forced to weigh his nagging conscience against both his loyalty to Clarence and his own financial ruin. A playful, contemporary take on the classic American story of the confidence man, "Great World of Sound" evokes conflicted hucksters from Willy Loman and the Mayles Brothers' salesman to the seedy charmers of seventies Altman. With real-life audition footage weaved into the fictional narrative, Zobel's provocative debut explores the outer limits of our desire for celebrity, where big dreams beget bigger illusions, and fame always has its price.

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum is hosting the 'College - Décollage' exhibition of Burhan Doğançay and Jacques Villeglé, two acknowledged international masters, through 13 July.
Curated by Philippe Piguet, the exhibition consists of works that could be regarded as a modern interpretation of the wall painting tradition going back to the earliest periods of human history, setting the stage for an encounter not only between the two artists but between the arts of Collage and Décollage as well. Born in the late 1920's and active in the international art scene since the 1960's, Burhan Doğançay and his collages and Jacques Villeglé and his décollages are being confronted here for the first time. This juxtaposition in the same exhibition of two of the leading artists of their generation is aimed at revealing not only the similarities but also the differences between them. www.peramuzesi.org.tr
