The band's liege of followers have been a little depressed since the guys announced they will take an indefinite break once their current tour ends. Despite the bleak absence from touring and recording, the year 2016 won't go without its accolades, as the foursome will be honored with an impressive six Guinness World Records, including one for having the biggest fan base on Twitter. With a whopping 23.3 million followers on the social networking site, 1D should realize just how much they are loved. Be sure to catch their show in Buffalo, New York this Thursday, Sept. 3 at the Ralph Wilson Stadium. Tickets are in-demand, but we do have some still available starting at just $45.

8/26/15 - Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably have heard the alarming news that boy super group One Direction are officially planning to take a one year hiatus starting after their On The Road Again Tour wraps up later this month. Fans everywhere are shocked by the news, especially given that the guys reported being just fine following the departure of former band mate Zayn Malik. The guys have tried to reassure fans, saying that the break will not be permanent. They simply want to take some time to refresh and potentially even explore solo projects before rejoining one year later. Regardless of what happens, you may only have eight more chances to see 1D live before their tour concludes in Foxborough, MA on September 12.
8/21/15 - Liam Payne of One Direction is one of the hottest singers in the world these days, but that doesn't mean life is easy for him. After some comments at a recent concert, he was accused of being a homophobic. Now, he has taken to Twitter to defend himself, stating that what he said was simply misconstrued. He also apologized for the misunderstanding saying, "I'm sorry to those I offended." Thankfully, none of this drama will affect the band's touring schedule, much to the delight of the droves of 1D fans. They will perform at Rogers Arena in Toronto on Thursday (Aug. 20) and then travel to Chicago, Illinois, for a show at Soldier Field. Tickets for both shows are available for purchase now, starting at $39 and $52, respectively.
8/6/15 - Fans of One Direction have been anxiously awaiting new music for some time now, and that wish has finally been fulfilled! They have officially performed their brand new single, "Drag Me Down," live for the first time in Central Park as a part of Good Morning America. The huge crowd sang along as Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne took turns singing lead vocals. If you live in the area of Baltimore, Maryland, you can be a part of the next screaming crowd and sing along to all of 1D's greatest hits. They will be live on stage at the M & T Bank Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 8 and we still have some tickets available with prices starting at just $43.
7/30/15 - If losing band-mate Zayn Malik couldn't stop them, nothing will. One Direction and their fans proved just how true that sentiment was last night at an unforgettable performance at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium. It was one of the hottest days on record for the city, but that didn't stop tens of thousands of fans from turning out to support their favorite foursome. In anticipation of the extreme heat, concert organizers adjusted some of their usual policies to keep fans hydrated. Everyone was permitted to bring in a sealed bottle of water and medics were readily on hand to combat dehydration and heat stroke. Organizers also brought in extra misting fans to keep concertgoers cool. The guys of 1D and their fans both agreed that once the show started, however, all they could feel was positive energy.
7/23/15 - Can you believe that One Direction is already five years old? It seems like time flew by as the band took on their whirlwind adventure after auditioning for The X Factor back in 2010. Originally coming to the show separately, the judges had the insight to put the five guys together to form a group, and the rest is history! If you haven't watched the video of them getting the news about the formation of 1D from the judges, you definitely should! It's a heartwarming story that will remind you of just how far they've come and just how much passion they have for what they do. On Sunday, July 26, they will perform live at the TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota and we have your tickets for $52 and up.
7/16/15 - If you are a big One Direction fan, this may be old news to you, but rumor has it that Louis Tomlinson is expecting a baby! His relationship with Briana Jungwirth has been no secret, the two met earlier this year after his breakup with a longtime girlfriend. Although they have not yet confirmed the news via social media, it will sure be fun to watch Louis be a dad, and to watch Harry, Niall and Liam become "uncles!" This news has not affected any part of 1D's North American tour, which is happening now. They are all set to appear on stage this Friday, July 17 at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia. Tickets are on sale now, and prices start at $38.
7/9/15 - The North American leg of One Direction's tour has officially begun. After playing in San Diego, California, which is their first stop, the British band will move up the west coast, eventually playing three shows in Canada. One Direction will only be playing in each city for one night, so be sure to secure your spot at the show nearest you early. Tickets are still available for the show in Santa Clara, Seattle, and all their shows in Canada. Right now, tickets for their Santa Clara show, on July 11th, are starting at $56, but they are going fast. On July 26th, they will return to the United States in Minneapolis, Minnesota, then move down through Kansas and Indiana. Keep an eye on their tour dates to see when you can catch them live.
7/2/15 - If you feel a huge heat wave coming in from the Atlantic next week, it's because Britain's hottest band, One Direction, will hit American soil as they begin the next leg of the "On The Road Again" tour at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California on July 9. Harry Styles has said that the European shows have been a smashing success, and that they are excited to bring the music to the United States and Canada. He also states that they are also working hard on their next album. Although no release date has been set, he says that they are "buzzing with the new stuff" and that they already have some great songs lined up. Tickets for the San Diego show are still available, with prices starting at $57.
6/25/15 - The guys of One Direction are having a big week amid their On The Road Again Tour, which is currently in its European leg. They recently had the opportunity to have a bit of fun while showing off their charisma and acting skills. The remaining foursome is set to release a new fragrance called "Between Us," which is the fourth perfume they have released as a band. The guys created a hilariously ridiculous advertisement to promote the new fragrance, claiming it will be made of "Niall's tears." Meanwhile, former One Directioner Zayn Malik is taking things a bit more seriously. He and Joe Jonas were recently spotted at the Valentino show at menswear fashion week in Paris, France. The rest of 1D will kick of the North America leg of their tour in just two weeks.
6/17/15 - Although the guys of One Direction are adamant that they are doing just fine following the exit of band mate Zayn Malik, a certain industry insider seems to thinking differently. The guys' mentor, who happens to be the notorious former American Idol judge Simon Cowell, thinks the foursome may ever recover. Cowell clarified by saying, "I don't think they'll ever be over it completely because they started off as a five piece, so they're always going to miss him." Despite the skepticism, the guys of 1D are moving forward with their massive On The Road Again Tour. They clearly still have the support of their fans, as shows continue to sell out at impressive rates. Tickets to the opening show on July 9 are still available at prices as low as $34.
6/8/15 - The members of One Direction have reached out to one young fan after she was involved in a horrible crash while riding a roller coaster. Leah Washington and several others were trapped for more than four hours after crashing into the back of an empty carriage, causing the need for doctors to amputate one of Leah's legs. The boys from 1D were unable to visit her in the hospital, but reached out via video, inviting her to meet them backstage at an upcoming concert when she is well. These kind acts are not unique for One Direction, and is just one of the many things that makes them so special. Their tour kicks off in the United States next month and includes more than 20 stops. Show them your support by purchasing tickets in a nearby city today!
6/4/15 - Fans of boy band and super group One Direction are still reeling following Zayn Malik's departure, and now there's rumored to be concern over whether or not Harry Styles will follow his footsteps after the conclusion of the band's massive On The Road Again Tour. Styles talked to reporters this week, reassuring fans everywhere that he's staying put, at least for the moment. Styles does admit that he has "lots of goals" he feels he must achieve, but right now he and the rest of 1D are just trying to focus on what's going on right in front of them. For now, that means the tour and working on their next album and first without Zayn, which is set to debut at the end of this year.
5/28/15 - As if One Direction fans needed any encouragement to get excited and blow up Twitter, the four guys are teasing their followers about their upcoming album. Now that Niall, Liam, Harry and Louis are a foursome, the sound will undoubtedly be different, but Niall has stated that their old school sound is still prevalent throughout the work. While they work hard in the studio, they also have to get ready for their upcoming concert tour across the United States and Canada, which starts in July and includes over 20 stops through September. 1D fans should purchase their tickets soon, as a tour like this one will undoubtedly sell out. See them on stage at the TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on July 26. Our ticket prices start at $42.
5/14/15 - Although fans are still recovering from Zayn Malik's choice to leave One Direction, his absence hasn't slowed the rest of the guys down at all. The four man band recently earned the high honor of being crowned number one on Billboard's Hot Tours chart during the week of April 22, proving fans are happier than ever to support their favorite boy band. The guys are so in demand, in fact, that rumors are already flying about yet another world tour that could take place as soon as next year. Promoters of the group say that they're "riding the crest of a wave" of popularity and want to keep the hype going. The guys are currently on tour in Europe and will head to North America in July.
5/6/15 - Many of you will be staying up way past your bedtimes next week, as One Direction will make an appearance on The Late Late Show on May 14. The guys from 1D have a longstanding history of antics and camaraderie with James Corden, who is the new host of the television program. One time, Corden tattooed a picture of his face on Niall's backside and another time he kissed Harry right on the lips in a segment they called "Kiss Cam." What fun things will the foursome be up to next? That remains to be seen, but we do know that they will be on tour in the United States this summer. With seats selling out quickly, this isn't a purchase you want to put off. Purchase your One Direction concert tickets from us today!
4/28/15 - As their massive On The Road Again world tour continues, Liam Payne and the rest of One Direction recently sat down to discuss their upcoming album. Although many fans are still grieving Zayn Malik's departure from the band, Liam and the remaining members are trying to keep fans optimistic about the group's future. Payne says that the group's fifth album is "coming together really well," and that fans can expect a slightly different vibe on the new release. He says the guys are trying to channel Oasis and produce a sound that will "have a longer shelf life." The guys are currently on tour in Europe and will head to North America later this summer. Although their first show in the US is months away, some dates are already selling out.
4/23/15 - As fans anxiously await One Direction's arrival in North America on July 9, they are no doubt keeping up with the ongoing Zayn Malik saga in the meantime. Malik break millions of hearts around the world when he left the band a few weeks ago, leaving fans to wonder what would become of the group. Malik has remained largely quiet on the subject, other than mentioning that it was a difficult decision and that he wishes the rest of the guys nothing but the best. He broke his silence this week, taking to Twitter for the first time to deny allegations that personal relationships troubles were the reasons he left the band. Come show the remaining One Direction foursome your unwavering support when they begin the North American leg of their tour in July.
4/17/15 - Getting over the loss of Zayne Malik has been difficult for the other members of One Direction, but they are doing their best to stay positive and help keep fans from being depressed for too long. They took some photographs of just the four of them, and are trying to move forward as a foursome. In a series of Tweets recently, Harry, Liam, Niall and Louis have hinted that they are back in the studio writing and recording new music with the help of some frequent writing buddies, such as Jamie Scott, who helped pen hits such as "Story of My Life" and "Midnight Memories." You can hear for yourself the new songs as they hit the States this summer. Tickets for all scheduled shows are on sale now!
4/8/15 - The guys of One Direction recently sat down to give their first interview as a foursome following Zayn Malik's departure two weeks ago. In the interview, the guys admitted that they are completely "gutted" over Malik's decision to leave. They also said, however, that they are growing confident as a four-piece and are still determined to carry on as strong as ever. In fact, band member Louis Tomlinson confirmed that the four remaining singers are 100% committed to staying together and continuing on as a band. Malik also had the opportunity to talk about his departure, reassuring fans that there isn't any bad blood between him and the rest of his former band mates and that he wishes them nothing but the best in the future.
3/31/15 - As their massive On The Road Again World Tour rolls forward, One Direction continues to march on without bandmate Zayn Malik, who broke millions of hearts last week when he announced he was leaving the band. The remaining foursome is currently in South Africa, where they played a huge show at Johannesburg's FNB Stadium on Saturday night in front of nearly 100,000 cheering fans who came to show support. The guys were extremely grateful, stopping repeatedly throughout the set to thank fans for choosing to spend the evening with them. While no one mentioned Zayn overtly, there was a bittersweet moment during "Through the Dark" when Liam had to leave the stage with tears in his eyes. The South African leg of the tour concludes tonight in Cape Town.
3/26/15 - It's a bittersweet day for One Direction band member Zayn Malik and his fans around the world. The band announced on their Facebook page today that Malik has officially left the group. Rumors started flying last week after he left the On The Road Again Tour, which was in the Philippines at the time, in order to decompress and spend time with his family. Malik is reportedly the most susceptible to stress from publicity, and it seems he has finally reached his limit. Malik spent five incredible years with One Direction. While he is the first to apologize to fans he has let down, he also justifies his decision by saying, "I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight." The rest of the 1Ders will continue as a foursome on their world tour.
3/20/15 - As their massive worldwide On The Road Again Tour continues in Singapore and the Philippines, One Direction band member Zayn Malik was recently forced to take a break from the tour due to stress. His band mates have stated in the past that out of everyone, Malik struggles the most with being in the spotlight. While he's healthy physically, Malik left the tour to decompress and spend time with his family in the United Kingdom after reaching his emotional limit on Wednesday. The rest of the 1Ders are worried about their band mate, but they still plan to go ahead with their shows in the Philippines without Malik. There is no word on whether or not Malik plans to rejoin the tour at later dates.
3/13/15 - Stemming from England and Ireland, the five members of One Direction got their start in 2010 after appearing on The X Factor. Since then, they have gained serious traction not only in the UK, but also in countries all across the world. Their popularity was in full force as they took the stage Wednesday night to a crowd of 30,000 adoring fans in Singapore. The appearance of Harry, Niall, Liam, Zayne and Louis also drew record-breaking buzz on Twitter for the country. Over 100,000 Tweets were sent out referencing the concert.

Catch all five together as they take the stage in the United States and Canada for the North American leg of the tour this summer and early fall.

2/25/15 - Rumors have been flying this week over whether or not Harry Styles has plans to leave his One Direction band mates in pursuit of a solo career. According to some sources, Styles hopes to make edgier music in the future, which is not something he's poised to do with 1D. While tabloids have been having a field day over the subject, Styles insists he has no plans to leave the band anytime soon. This isn't the first time the gang has had to deal with false media reports, as they also recently shot down rumors that band mate Zayn Malik has plans to start a solo rap career. Whether you believe the gossip or not, you can catch all five of the One Directioners live in concert in North America later this year.
2/18/15 - With several months to go until the North American leg of their 2015 On The Road Again World Tour kicks off, the British boy rockers of One Direction recently surprised fans in Japan with exciting news.

The guys played several shows in Sydney, Australia last week before heading north to Brisbane as the Australian leg of the tour continues. It hasn't been all no work and no play, however. The boys had a chance to enjoy some downtime in between shows to catch a fun filled cruise around iconic Sydney Harbour.

2/4/15 - The British boy rockers of pop super group One Direction are just about to embark on their massive world tour later this week in Australia.

Band members Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson have recently been collaborating with Chad Kroeger of Nickelback fame in the studio. Robin Diaz, the drummer for Daughtry, posted a picture on Instagram of the three playing instruments and smiling. The guys of One Direction have also recently been working with American rapper Juicy J, leading to further speculation on what their next album will sound like.
1/30/15 - One Direction is set to start their world tour in Australia on Feb. 7, and the band has announced that they will be joined in Australia by singer Samantha Jade and the band McBusted. One Direction's massive fame has helped their opening acts in the past, as shown by the now famous 5 Seconds of Summer, who once opened for One Direction. In fact, the band is so influential that One Direction recently made the Debrett's 500 list of most influential people in Britain. This list has been coming out since 1769 and includes lists of people in 24 different fields, including music, art, sport, stage, screen, and war and peace. American fans will have to wait until July for this influential band to hit the shores for the US leg of the tour, but tickets are still available for most dates.
1/23/15 - One Direction, the British pop group singing sensation, was the top touring act of 2014 with an estimated 3.4 million ticket sales that earned well over $250 million. This year, the band is set to break their own record with the highly anticipated On The Road Again 2015 tour. They will visit several continents, starting in Australia just month and finishing in their native U.K. this October. The band admitted that sometimes it can get lonely on the road, especially when touring for over six months continuously. While they can become frustrated by being stuck in hotels and vans over time, all One Direction band members agree that little nuisances are well worth the joy of seeing and entertaining their global base of fans.
1/15/15 - The five guys from One Direction have become so popular that they are known in every corner of the world. With their unparalleled success as a band, they have tried to pay it forward, and are also some of the most charitable musicians in the industry today. They have been especially generous in the realm of cancer research. They gave a portion of their 2014 ticket revenue to the Stand up to Cancer campaign and raised over $750,000 to fund a charity involved in researching Hodgkins lymphoma cancer in 2013. With more endeavors in the works for 2015, it remains to be seen what charities they will set their sights on next. The North American leg of their next tour will begin on July 9, 2015 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA.
1/9/15 - Fame and stardom inevitably lead to being a part of the rumor mill created by the media, and the five guys from One Direction are definitely not immune to this. After a recent Twitter hack, one of those rumors stated that Niall Horan was leaving the band. The other members showed their resilience to the rumors by making a joke about it. For an entire day, they acted as if the rumor was true, taking to Twitter and acting as if Niall was ousted. Lucky for 1D fans, Niall is staying in the group, and they will be on a huge worldwide tour that will put the guys in North America this summer. This is a tour that will undoubtedly sell out quickly, so fans should not wait to purchase their tickets.

Their 2014 "Where We Are" tour was the highest grossing tour of any artist in the world, further proving their dominance in the pop music scene today. Currently they are preparing for yet another worldwide tour, and it is appropriately titled "On the Road Again." This time around they are scheduled to take the stage in Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America.

One Direction 2013 Take Me Home Tour
Following a performance of their new single "Story Of My Life" on GMA this morning, One Direction announced a stadium tour for 2014 dubbed
"Where We Are"

Harry, Niall, Zayn, Liam, and Louis released their third studio album, Midnight Memories, Monday and it is already topping charts in nearly 100 countries. The worldwide success of the British boy band will certainly lead to sold out concerts across North America as the boys perform top hits like "Best Song Ever", "Story of My Life", "What Makes You Beautiful" for millions of screaming fans. The boys recently took home two American Music Awards for Favorite Album (Pop/Rock) and Favorite Band (Duo/Group, Pop/Rock) and will perform as musical guests on SNL December 7th.

It's more entertaining than Drudge's usual "Hey, It Snowed Somewhere Today!" links. Snow anywhere, to Drudge, is proof that scientists everywhere are lying about global warming. The opinions of sixth graders are about as relevant.

Job Stability in the United States
Two key attributes of a job are its wage and its duration. Much has been made of changes in the wage distribution in the 1980s but little attention has been given to job durations since Robert E. Hall (1972, 1982). The authors fill this void by examining the temporal evolution of job retention rates in U.S. labor markets using data assembled from the sequence of Current Population Survey job tenure supplements. There have been relative declines in job stability for some of the groups that experienced the sharpest declines in relative wages. However, the authors find that aggregate job retention rates have remained stable. Copyright 1997 by University of Chicago Press.

Exeunt Omnes, pursued by Wyrm
Posted 28 June 2012 - 11:32 AM
Will he make it? The future of Kaliphlin may depend upon it.
Painter's notes:
The sand, the sand. Our blessing and our curse. It is a tradition in Kaliphlin that we all break our heads on sand dunes in free builds. This is my monochromatic essay on that topic. Does the world really need another Sand Wyrm, after BrickMaestro's excellent portrait? Maybe not, that was definitive; but there are several varietals in our desert seas, and it is wise to be acquainted with the main ones. This is one of the blood-and-whites.
A few techiques I was trying out here. After Daniel Marches, I wanted to experiement further on the diagonal. The wyrm is on the diagonal and also tilted skywards, fixed at one end and resting on bricks at the other. In the great Dune tradition, this is actually a triangular Wyrm core, held together (on a good day) with Travis bricks and tilting bricks. I quite like it, and this may have an afterlife as a tower. I have never really gone in for Black Fantasy, but my 2 year old tells me that this is "too scary", so I consider it mission accomplished. I wanted to add at least one point of articulation to the Wyrm, but I couldn't find a way to do it without sacrificing the integrity of the cylinder, any tips are welcome.
Posted 28 June 2012 - 12:08 PM
Posted 28 June 2012 - 12:44 PM
And the Wyrm itself looks quite fearsome, the tentacles in the middle of it's mouth are a nice touch.
Keep up the good work

June 8, 2012
Even if I wanted to it would not be possible to write my weekly blog without a reference to the Jubilee. Albeit at the time of writing (Thursday) life is beginning to get back to normal. It really was an exceptional weekend where the whole country seemed to have become caught up in a significant level of hysteria – I mean excitement! The only parallels that one can draw are indeed with other Royal occasions – the death of Diana, the death of the Queen Mother, and the Wills & Kate marriage – all occasions that the vast majority of the population threw themselves into with enthusiasm and gusto. Some of the residents living here at Nightingale House have lived during the reign of other monarchs but primarily they have grown up with the Queen. Everybody remembers how young and beautiful she looked on the occasion of her coronation and indeed today she is both immaculate and dignified in her appearance.
Notwithstanding all of this, one senses that had there not been a Jubilee that our newspapers over last weekend and this week would have been very thin. If one were to remove all the pages dedicated this week both in the serious and the popular press there really would not have been much left.
We now have a very brief pause before we enter into period of euphoria which may exist only for a couple of days in the European Football Tournament. And once that's over it will be full on into the Olympics build up and then the Olympics and then the Paralympics. Then around about September life might start reverting back to normal – albeit we'll be on the slow build up to Christmas.
All of these occasions are very exciting, very interesting and naturally bring people together mainly in a positive way – which cannot be a bad thing. Unfortunately, however, such events could potentially be considered to be a form of escapism. Whilst we are waving our Union Jack flags on the banks of the River Thames, shouting on our football team in the Ukraine (or at least in our front rooms) we're certainly not focussing on the far more difficult and harsh realities that face most people on a day to day basis.
Governments and particularly this government must delight in the opportunity for all of this escapism. A nation which is happy because of a Royal event or because we won a football match or because we successfully hosted the Olympic Games is one that is not focussing too much on all of the problems which our government is either having to grapple with and/or indeed in some cases causing.
A euphoric and happy nation will I am sure by definition add a couple of points to any government's poll rating – albeit this may be short lived. I am sure that if Gallup or Populus had carried out a market research survey at 11.00 pm last Monday night after the Jubilee concert, ratings would have been soaring!
Unfortunately however we must keep coming back to reality. The government has many problems, some of which are of its own making. One problem I am sure which is of its own making is the avoidance of some of the harsh issues and problems which need to be addressed in relation to funding of older people. It may well be that David Cameron and Nick Clegg may not have this issue coming back to haunt them but rather a future government of a different colour. Collectively governments seem to be of the view that if they avoid problems for long enough, the problems will somehow go away. I don't think, however, this bears much semblance to reality.
I strive always to be diverse in the content of my blog. And this week I want to move onto a totally different subject. I have been unable to find any link between what I am about to write and the above. And this is the subject of Cliff Richard. When Cliff Richard recorded Summer Holiday and the Young Ones he was indeed a very young man. Today he's not quite so young. In fact he's considerably older. If one would have watched the Jubilee concert with the volume on mute then Cliff would have been very impressive both in terms of his own movement and more particularly the movement of his accompanying dancers. If one were then to turn the sound back on, one might have a bit of a shock. Cliff's voice is no more. He does not have the voice which he had when he originally recorded the Young Ones. He needs to recognise it. He cannot carry on forever. I would not limit these comments of course to Cliff – much the same has to be said about Elton John and a number of other singers that I can name of similar vintage. Notable exceptions from the Jubilee concert, ie people that do still have the wherewithal to carry it off are Stevie Wonder and Tom Jones! Basically some people need to know when to call it a day. Some do. Some don't.

I have two laptops in front of me, running continuous pings to my gateway (router) and to google. One computer pings both targets fine and doesn't time out. The other computer, an Asus G73JW laptop, occasionally times out. This makes browsing annoying because loading websites sometimes times out, network operations (like file copying) times out, etc.
I've updated my wireless card drivers. During this test, I'm sitting beside my router to minimize distance.
I'm at a loss. What would be a good next step in diagnosing this problem?

Any narrative work of fiction with a running time of 30 minutes or less will qualify as an International Short Film in the non-competition section. The film has to be produced in the last 3 years ie not before January 2012.
Any narrative work of fiction with a running time of 30 minutes or less will qualify as an International Short Film in the non-competition section. The film has to be produced in the last 3 years i.e not before January 2012..
We can accept a low quality screener, however if the movie is selected, we would require a high quality file for screening.
Although we have accepted both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD formats in the past, it has proven to be more efficient to use to one standardized format for viewing submitted films. For that reason, we ask that you do not submit a physical disc in any format other than DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R Dual Layer, or DVD+R Dual Layer. You may not submit discs that will only play in a Blu-Ray player, even if they are burned to a standard DVD.
In almost all cases, this is determined by the primary source of the film's funding. If 50% or more of the film's financing came from sources within the INDIA it qualifies as a INDIAN Film. If more than 50% of the film's financing came from international sources, it qualifies as an International Film. Please select your submission category based on the primary source of financing, but we do reserve the right to make a final judgment call based on a number of other factors, such as the primary shooting location, language(s) spoken in the film, and the nationalities of key members of a film's cast and crew.
After you have completed the online application, you will also give us a link of uploaded film (part of the application form)
Yes, but only if it has changed significantly. We are not interested in seeing the same cut again -- it should be a complete reworking of the previous version that was submitted to us. If you are in doubt, it probably hasn't changed enough.
We will make every effort to play your DVD, but in the event that we are unable to view your film, we will attempt to contact you to request another copy using the primary contact information that you provided on your application. However, there is no guarantee that we will get your replacement disc in time, and we must give preference to those who sent in a working copy to begin with. For this reason, we ask that you make absolutely sure that your DVD plays all the way through BEFORE you submit it to us!
Sending in replacement cuts after you have already submitted a prior version of the film can cause a great deal of confusion throughout the screening process and it is also not fair to those who sent in a cut prior to their selected submission deadline. We reserve the right to disqualify, without refund of any or all submission fees, any applicant who attempts to avoid submission fees by sending in a replacement cut of their film after their selected deadline has passed. WE WILL ONLY VIEW THE FIRST CUT OF YOUR FILM THAT WE RECEIVE!
No, we require a final cut version of your film.
From a legal standpoint, you must clear all copyrighted material included in your film before you can publicly screen it. However, SSFF does not check to ensure that you have obtained clearance for these materials at any point during the application process, nor will we be held responsible for any inclusion of uncleared materials in your film. It is the sole responsibility of the entity submitting the project to secure permission from the copyright holder of the material in question, whether it is music, stock footage, or any other elements that could violate an existing copyright. Films that are accepted into the Festival must sign a waiver stating that materials used in the film do not violate any existing copyright. Quite often, rights holders offer reduced rates for festival films, so you should contact them directly to avoid any possible rights infringements.
You may submit as many films as you'd like. We do not offer reduced rates in fees for multiple submissions. If you submit three films, you must pay the submission fees for all three of them. Please do not submit multiple projects on the same DVD. If we receive a submission with multiple films on one disc, we will only consider the first film included.
We will contact you via e-mail, Please make sure that the e-mail address you provided on your application will be operational at that time. If your e-mail address changes after you've filled out the application, please update us with an email. We will not be held responsible for any failed delivery of notification!
Beyond film screenings, we arrange panels, seminars, workshops etc.,.
TThe Director of the Festival has the authority to settle all cases not covered by the present rules. All appeals maybe addressed to the Festival Director. All disputes regarding the festival are to be dealt within the jurisdiction of Bengaluru..
Refund requests for the upcoming BISFF 2015, all payments are nonrefundable for any reason, including but not limited to illness, acts of God, or travel-related problems. Badges are non-transferable and are the property of BISFF..
Any narrative work of fiction with a running time of 30 minutes, will qualify as Student Short Film in the competition section. The film has to be produced after January 2014. A signed letter has to be submitted on the same. If the film is found to be produced before this term, it will lead to disqualification. All students need to submit scanned/photocopy of their Student id's along with the film..
Any narrative work of fiction with a running time of 30 minutes or less will qualify as an International Short Film in the non-competition section. The film has to be produced in the last 3 years.
Films should be uploaded online. Link for submission: http://bisff.in/submission-form-pay.php
Yes. We will accept a link to your film on Vimeo, YouTube or any other video streaming or download site. If you choose to submit an online screener, please be sure to put the link of your film into your application. Simply uploading the film is not enough. The file size must be less than 2GB. Once your upload is complete, you MUST view the uploaded file in its entirety to ensure that everything is in order..
Films with running times of less than 30 minutes are classified as Shorts. Films that are 30 minutes or longer are classified as Features. You should select your submission category based on what the final projected running time of the film will be, including credits.
We require that all films that contain significant non-English dialogue include on-screen English subtitles. We actually prefer even English films also to have English subtitles, so our audience clearly follows the conversation..
FOR COMPETITION SECTION: Any film submitted for 2015 Festival consideration must have been completed POST January 1st, 2014 FOR NON-COMPETITION SECTION: Any film submitted for 2015 Festival consideration must have been completed POST January 1st, 2013 .
Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we are unable to contact each applicant individually if we do not receive his or her film. It is your responsibility to make sure that your package makes its way to our office.
If your film is a short (less than 30 minutes in length), it is still eligible even though it has been broadcast on television. However, once if it gets selected for the festival, the movie has to be removed from online channels, till the time festival gets over.
No, we require a final cut version of your film.
No, if you are sending are submitted via post or manually, you do have submit with an application form.
No, we encourage filmmakers of all ages to submit their work. However, we do have separate category specifically related to young /student filmmakers. All submitted films will compete against each other for available slots in each program. If you are under the age of 18, and a student, if your film is accepted, we will require signed, written permission from your SCHOOL before we are able to screen your film..
You can mail us on our email to keep us updated. We will use the public contact information from your application to contact you regarding problems with your submission and to notify you of your acceptance status, so please ensure that this information is always kept up-to-date.
For final project during the film festival, we will only accept HD quality in DVD or downloadable version from a link provided by you.
The use of cameras or of other recording equipment is strictly prohibited during any screening or program.
No cuts or changes will be made in the films by the Festival management for any reason.
Roman Polanski, Martin Scorcese, James Cameron, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Christopher
Nolan, Girish Kasaravalli, Vidhu Vinod Chopra...you are in truly great company if you are a
short filmmaker. Some of the greatest artists of our time have made short films to develop their
trademark visual style and explore themes that would recur in their longer feature length films.
Exceptionally imagined, tightly scripted, powerfully told short films move audiences, and Suchitra
Film Society is proud to come up with a platform to showcase such talent.
Filmmakers from all across the world, students and professionals alike, are encouraged to send their work (short fiction only) that will be curated by some of the best minds in the industry, and screened at BISFF '14 in Bangalore. In its fourth year, BISFF has established itself as a unique audience experience that premieres the best short films in a competition and showcases shorts by past masters. Additionally, the festival offers hands-on filmmaking workshops and features panels with thought leaders in the industry. Suchitra hopes that BISFF will enable young filmmakers to learn from masters, collaborate with other creators, and offer the film loving public a visual treat like none other.

We use this camera for recording when a more professional video footage is require. Examples are high profile visitors although it is only 1080i we find this adequate as there is currently no requirement to play back at true HD.
It is a good size with adequate low light capabilities. Has a Carl Zeis lens and good optical zoom. We tend not to use the digiatal zoom but it is capable of x80.
It is capable of recording 7hrs HD high quality and 11 hrs HD long play so no issues here.

My publicist chick and promoter dude are beginning to grate on me after only the first season. Is there a way to get them to QFT so I can race in peace? I can't skip their blabbering with or anything.
According to this thread, if you want to remove the voices, you need to find the file 'en_generic.nfs' in the audio speech folder and delete or rename it.
According to some people, this kills all voice audio in the game, including the co-driver voice, so you might not want to take this option if you want that voice to remain in game. Others have claimed that it doesn't remove the co-driver voice, though, so it is really a gamble.
I just accidentally discovered, that if I switch the game (on pc) from full screen to windowed, it cancels whatever voice is talking. THen I can switch back and continue playing. Weird, but it works.

Summaries for CMAHP Gene
Sialic acids are terminal components of the carbohydrate chains of glycoconjugates involved in ligand-receptor, cell-cell, and cell-pathogen interactions. The two most common forms of sialic acid found in mammalian cells are N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its hydroxylated derivative, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). Studies of sialic acid distribution show that Neu5Gc is not detectable in normal human tissues although it was an abundant sialic acid in other mammals. Neu5Gc is, in actuality, immunogenic in humans. The absense of Neu5Gc in humans is due to a deletion within the human gene CMAH encoding cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase, an enzyme responsible for Neu5Gc biosynthesis. Sequences encoding the mouse, pig, and chimpanzee hydroxylase enzymes were obtained by cDNA cloning and found to be highly homologous. However, the homologous human cDNA differs from these cDNAs by a 92-bp deletion in the 5' region. This deletion, corresponding to exon 6 of the mouse hydroxylase gene, causes a frameshift mutation and premature termination of the polypeptide chain in human. It seems unlikely that the truncated human hydroxylase mRNA encodes for an active enzyme explaining why Neu5Gc is undetectable in normal human tissues. Human genomic DNA also shows evidence of this deletion which does not occur in the genomes of African great apes. Nonetheless, the CMAH gene maps to 6p21.32 in humans and great apes indicating that mutation of the CMAH gene occurred following human divergence from chimpanzees and bonobos.

GeneCards Summary for CMAHP Gene
CMAHP (Cytidine Monophospho-N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Hydroxylase, Pseudogene) is a Pseudogene. Diseases associated with CMAHP include charge syndrome. GO annotations related to this gene include 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding and CMP-N-acetylneuraminate monooxygenase activity.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for CMAHP Gene
Sialic acids are components of carbohydrate chains of glycoconjugates and are involved in cell-cell recognition and cell-pathogen interactions. That protein has no CMP-N-acetylneuraminate monooxygenase activity and is not able to convert CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) into its hydroxylated derivative CMP-N-glycolylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Gc), a sialic acid abundantly expressed at the surface of many cells in vertebrates (PubMed:9624188). However, it may play a role in Wnt signaling (PubMed:19890979).

Map It Out
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 8:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 8:05 p.m.
When the prospect of a new outdoor trip comes up, I can hardly wait to pull out a map. My anticipation builds as I consult reference books specific to the area, cross-reference that information with my atlas, and then head off to the great outdoors with my research materials in hand to explore.
Ive always relied on my collection of well-worn map books to find my way to these locations, but recently Ive been enjoying a modern variation National Geographics Southern Appalachian Mountains edition of their Explorer 3D mapping software.
The Explorer 3D software is made up of a combination of the data and trail information from National Geographics high-quality Trails Illustrated series of printed maps and the functions of their award-winning TOPO! mapping software products.
The combination of the two products allows users to interact with detailed mapping data in many useful ways.
What this product really allows you to do is to plan your trips, said Dan Ortiz, Vice President of Consumer Products for National Geographic Maps.
There are a lot of things you can do in terms of interactive functions that you cant do with the printed map itself, he said.
For example, the routing tool and 3D fly-thru mode are especially helpful for planning an outdoor adventure. A few simple clicks of the mouse allow you to calculate the mileage and elevation changes along a route, and even fly over to get a three dimensional view of the terrain.
The Explorer 3D software also allows individuals to use their hand-held GPS units to create routes before going afield, or to import routes from the field for future use.
I use the route tool to draw a route, and then in the GPS functionality in the software you can set waypoints along the route and transfer it over to your handheld device, said Ortiz.
Its like pre-loading the trip youre going to take onto the device before you go into the field. It makes it really easy, he said.
Likewise, when youre afield, you can save waypoints that make up a route onto your GPS unit and transfer them back into the software to see exactly where you were.
Ortiz, an angler himself, likes to save waypoints where hes caught fish in the backcountry and import them into the software where he attaches photographs and notes pertaining to his day of angling. This feature is great for logging your outdoor travels.
Its really a fun way to a keep a kind of geo-location journal, said Ortiz.
Maps created in the software can also be saved to JPEG computer files and shared with your adventure companions before or after a trip.
And best of all, for those of us who still want a paper map in hand, you can simply print one out before going afield.
If youre traveling through the Southern Appalachians, try National Geographics 3D Explorer software to help you plan, enjoy, and chronicle your next journey.
And thats my holler for this week!

French food giant Danone has confirmed it is seeking full
compensation from Fonterra for damage caused to its business
following the New Zealand dairy company's botulism scare.
Westland Milk Products has trumped Fonterra by announcing a
final payout of $6.34kg/ms before retentions for a ''tough''
2012-13 season.
Fonterra's forecast farmgate milk price, which rose a further
50c yesterday, could be revised higher still, Westpac's chief
economist Dominick Stephens said yesterday.
Fonterra will announce its full-year result on Wednesday.
Fonterra Co-operative Group has played down the implications
of the whey contamination scare as it pushes ahead with a
plan to double its milk production in China.
Fonterra plays such an important role in the New Zealand
economy, and its presence in the global economic structure,
that news the dairy giant is increasing its farmgate milk
price created something of a collective sigh of relief.
The false alarm over Fonterra's botulism scare in some of its
whey concentrate product has resulted in a relieved food
industry but prompted questions about how testing could have
failed on such an epic scale.
Fonterra has bumped up its forecast milk price for 2013-14
another 30c to $7.80 per kg of milk solids, citing continuing
strong international prices for dairy.
Fonterra has achieved its highest-ever monthly revenue
through the GlobalDairyTrade auction platform in August,
selling 109,664 metric tonnes of product worth $685 million.
Fonterra's contamination scare continues to have little
impact on dairy prices, with this week's GlobalDairyTrade
auction up 2.3%.
