Hutt City
14,523 people in the Hutt City had a tertiary qualification in 2013.
Education Qualifications are one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as Income statistics and Occupation data, Hutt City's Education Qualifications help to evaluate the economic opportunities and socio-economic status of an area and identify skill gaps in the labour market. Level of Educational Qualifications in a population relate to a number of factors including:
- The age of the population (e.g. older people tend to have more vocational qualifications, while people in their twenties and thirties are more likely to have a university degree);
- The professional or working ambitions of people (to seek education as youth or retraining as adults);
- The opportunities afforded to people to continue studying beyond compulsory schooling; and
- Immigration policy
Derived from the Census questions:
'What is your highest secondary school qualification?', 'Apart from secondary school qualifications do you have another completed qualification?', and 'Print your highest qualification level and the main subject.'
Persons aged 15 years and over

Mick Jagger, staring 60 in the face, lamented the lack of women's lingerie thrown onstage at a Rolling Stones concert in Germany--but said that a few pairs of men's underpants were hurled from the crowd. Jagger, 59, said on Thursday there seemed to be fewer women in the crowd at the start of the European leg of the Rolling Stones "40 Licks" tour in Munich's Olympia Hall on Wednesday. "It was all men," Jagger said at a news conference, noting a lamentable absence of the lingerie that is normally thrown at the band from the audience. However, he said, he did see a few pairs of large men's underpants on the stage. "I don't know what that says," Jagger said, laughing. "They left all the girls at home or whatever, I don't know. Usually we get a few bits of underwear on the stage. Last night there were a few Y-fronts."
A sell-out crowd of 12,000 cheered the rock band's two-hour show. "I think it's a great place for us, big crowd, people turn up," Jagger said. "That's where you want to start. You don't want start in place that's slightly marginal, a small place where you are not sure of your audience."

Household takeover boosts HSBC profit
HSBC has matched expectations by posting a 33 per cent increase in annual profit driven by its takeover of US lender Household.
The bank says its pre-tax profit jumped to $US12.816 billion from $US9.65 billion a year earlier.
The consensus forecast was $US12.91 billion, according to the median estimate of 10 analysts polled by Reuters.
HSBC's $US14.8 billion acquisition of Household in 2003, its largest ever, and its expansion in Mexico account for 70 per cent of the profit jump.
HSBC shares are down 0.63 per cent at 869 pence in early trade.
The stock has gained 8 per cent in the past six months and is the fourth-best performer of the UK's 11 listed banks.
Provisions for bad debts rose to $US6.093 billion from $US1.321 billion a year earlier, largely in line with expectations, with almost all the rise due to Household.
The Household deal transformed HSBC, boosting its presence in north America and bringing it high-margin consumer lending.
It also made HSBC a riskier investment by adding borrowers with bad credit records and increasing bad debt provisions.
HSBC says Household's credit quality improved in the second half of 2003 and there were grounds for optimism that this trend would continue in the first half of 2004.
HSBC is almost the last of the UK commercial banks to report results for 2003.
Lenders' profits have been buoyed by consumer borrowing and corporate bond activity amid low interest rates.
HSBC's profit figure is the largest reported by a British bank, topping the 6.16 billion pounds announced two weeks ago by Royal Bank of Scotland.
The bank recommended an interim dividend of 60 US cents a share, an increase of 13 per cent.

Unanswered: Scoring a Quiz
I making a personality quiz that goes like the following.
User takes a test to determine which type of person they are more like. So there will be say 5 types, each given a percentage of 100 that they are closest to at quiz end. The test has 50 questions, plus a age question and a sex question. Each test has 5 possible answers. The user clicks through radio button to fill out the quiz. No sweat so far.
My issue is in the test scoring, this is were i get confused. When making a test, each answer is weighted to fit a specific personality type. The weights are shown on screen as +6 thru 0 thru -6. (In code as 1-13, zero the default get 7 points). I have tried a few different scoring algos but non seem to be accurate. One other thing, I have to assume that a value other than zero WILL NOT be chosen when building a quiz.
1st try - Multiple count of all questions times 7 (7 is middle or 0 on scale), then divide by total points gotten from weighted answers. This ends up being something like 350/372 = 94%. This is all good till you get a score like 350/352 = 99%. In percentage you can assume that the second score is higher, but in reality the first score had the greater point spread.
2nd try - Add the highest value (up to 13) from each questions answers together for each personality type, then divide by total points gotten from weighted answers. This ends up something similar to the above try, but with higher percentages going to those personality types with answers that have no weights attached to them.
OK so now that i have written this Im really thinking that the quizzes will not work if weights are not set to other than zero (aka 7 points). Am I totally off here? Can anyone lead me in a proper direction. Thanks much for helping my keep what hair is left on my head.

Why can't you use session variables to help you with this? Store the answers into session vars then call them out when you need them. You should be able to do your math on them from there.

RE: Scoring a Quiz
Oi... Don't be afraid to use 0's and 1's. Computers take very kindly to this concept
Your problem isn't PHP code, either, it's math. And I understand, when ever I get things too complexed out in my mind I go balistic. I'm very simple minded.
This is what you gotta do.
Maybe this example can help:
PHP Code:
print "";
print "
What kind of pet are you?
";
print "Let's Find Out!";
if(!$_REQUEST['done']) {
print "<form action='". $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ."' method='post'>";
print "<input type='hidden' name='done' id='done' value='1'>";
print "
";
print "How do you feel about hair all over the furniture?";
print "<SELECT name='q1' id='q1'>
<option value='1'>Doesn't Bother Me</option>
<option value='0'>Don't Like it at All</option>
print "
";
print "Do you enjoy walking 30 minutes everyday?";
print "<SELECT name='q2' id='q2'>
<option value='1'>Sounds great!</option>
<option value='0'>Not quite me.</option>
print "
";
print "Do you hate constant noise?";
print "<SELECT name='q3' id='q3'>
<option value='0'>Yes!</option>
<option value='1'>Nope!</option>
print "
";
print "Are caged animals rediculous to you?";
print "<SELECT name='q4' id='q4'>
<option value='0'>Yes</option>
<option value='1'>No</option>
print "
";
print "Do you like it when your house reeks like rodent crap?";
print "<SELECT name='q5' id='q5'>
<option value='1'>Oh Yeah!</option>
<option value='0'>Yuck Eww What? No!!</option>
print "
";
print "<input type='submit' name='submit' id='submit' value='Check
print "</form>";
} else {
print "
";
print "Score: $result/$total
";
if($result==5) {
print"You're indeed a dog person!!";
if($result==4) {
print "Dog or cat maybe?";
if($result==3) {
print "A pet bird may be in order..";
if($result==2) {
print "Settle for a guinne pig.";
if($result==1) {
print "Get small mice just so you can feed them to a pet snake
because you hate animals!";
if($result==0) {
print "I don't know how you got to this page, but you really don't
like animals!";
On some questions, the points are reversed to the negative answer, to throw off the person taking the poll. Like this: Do you hate noise?
you get a point for saying "Nope!" and 0 points for saying "Yes!"
If all the points add up, you should get a dog. If you end up with no points, then you shouldn't get any animals at all. There are 6 possible outcomes.

The Long March to Single-Payer Healthcare
Obamacare Is Only a Stop Along the Way
The Obamacare insurance exchanges opened right on schedule Tuesday amidst widespread reports of frustrations and failures in launching the nationwide system.
Many of the federal and state exchanges were not prepared to handle the traffic. There were concerns about customer privacy and fraud. Confusion was the order of the day.
At the same time, Obamacare remained mired in the Congressional crisis over funding the government. In addition, the healthcare program is set to be tangled in the looming battle over raising the national debt ceiling.
The people least worried about Obamacare's troubles are Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi. They know the healthcare program is doomed to fail. But that's the point. It is designed to fail. Then the Democratic Party can move toward the century-long goal of single-payer healthcare.
Before he was elected president, Obama told a union audience that single-payer healthcare was the target. He stated clearly that a nation as rich as America should have healthcare for everyone. But first, he said, the nation needed to elect a Democratic President, House, and Senate.
The first major step towards single-payer healthcare occurred in November 2008 when Obama was elected, along with a Democratic House and Senate. Then Obamacare became law in early 2010. Two years the Supreme Court said the law is constitutional
Now the left wing march towards single-payer healthcare is rounding the turn. Mandated insurance is on sale through state and federal exchanges. The law kicks into high gear on January 1.
The law is a classic entitlement program – the transfer of wealth from one group of citizens to another. Obamacare will lurch and stumble, always subject to political change. But once the subsidies start flowing, it will be difficult to reverse.
The pitched battle in Congress proves the point. Democrats know that all they really need to do is hang on and get the program underway. The so-called glitches will be painful and even embarrassing, but Democrats will keep their eye on the long-term prize.
Republicans need to sweep the White House, the Senate, and the House to stop Obamacare. Only then can they fulfill the wishes of the majority of Americans and put a stake through the heart of Obamacare for good.
The next battleground is the 2014-midterm elections. The Democratic Party desperately needs to hold the Senate majority and take a shot at winning the House. Nevertheless, with Obama in the White House, the veto pen is ready and waiting.
Barack Obama wants one major achievement for his presidential legacy – single-payer healthcare for everyone from cradle to grave. He's at least halfway there. That's why Republicans need to fight Obamacare at every turn. It's not too late to derail the train.

EC: Tracerco Personal Electronic Dosimeter
Hardware - Handheld test, measurement, calibration: The Tracerco Personal Electronic Dosimeter (PED) is the first intrinsically safe contamination and radiation monitor that records both cumulative and real time exposure to radiation. This is a Control Engineering 2014 Engineers' Choice finalist.
Tracerco has developed a personal radiation monitor with a much more intuitive user interface. The unit is perfect for radiation specialists and those working with radiation on an irregular basis. It is safe to use in potentially explosive environments (Intrinsically Safe), robust and reliable. For non specialist users, the display system features graphical outputs and a simple diagram of a person that fills with colour depending on radiation dose received over time.
When developing this device, Tracerco gathered inputs from a broad cross-section of users of personal radiation monitoring devices. Ease of use was a highly desirable factor alongside intrinsic safety and robustness. It was noted that existing personal dosimeters were complicated to operate, difficult to read (very small screens) and users continually consulted operational manuals.
The Tracerco PED gives exceptional performance whilst being as simple to use as possible. The monitor is easy to clean and decontaminate due to its smooth clean lines. It is shock proof so can withstand being dropped and its display easily readable due to the revolutionary AMOLED screen.
The software interface, DoseVision, has been developed with input from experienced users. The result is an intuitive software interface of a standard typically seen within the consumer marketplace.
What we have achieved through good product design and thoughtful consideration of customer needs is a Personal Electronic Dosimeter with global mass market appeal.
Patrick Nelis — Radiation Focal Point, Baker Hughes:
"We had a need for a personal electronic dosimeter that was easy to set up, easy to use, robust, and intrinsically safe. The Tracerco PED has filled that gap perfectly, and quickly found favour with our workforce. So, yes, we are very pleased with it indeed."
Knut Inge Andersen — Environmental Technology Specialist, Statoil:
"The Tracerco PED's main advantage is simplicity of use combined with reliability."

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Deputy Johnson was killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call. His patrol car was run off the road by a drunk driver and hit a tree. The drunk driver fled the scene but was later apprehended. However, the grand jury declined to indict the suspect. The man was arrested and convicted of a later arson in which several firefighters were injured.
Deputy Johnson was survived by his wife and two sons.

An ongoing Salt Lake Tribune poll, currently posted on their main page, may reveal an important reason why mainstream Americans are not enthused about either the war in Afghanistan or the radical climate change mitigation proposals put forth at the recent U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it's the economy, stupid.
The Tribune poll asks respondents to rank the following issues in order of their importance in the coming year.
A. War/terrorism
B. Environment/energy
C. Jobs/economy
And here's the breakdown of 715 responses so far (rounded to the nearest .01):
-- C, A, B: 47.97 percent
-- C, B, A: 24.89 percent
-- A, C, B: 14.68 percent
-- B, C, A: 7.69 percent
-- B, A, C: 2.38 percent
-- A, B, C: 2.38 percent
The bottom line: Over 72 percent of respondents believe the economy is the most important issue. And nearly 48 percent of respondents believe that not only is the economy the most important issue, but that the environment is the least important issue.
This doesn't mean that Americans don't care about the environment. It simply indicates that Americans are growing increasingly unreceptive to the environmentalist message. This is because the environmentalists are too moral, too radical, and too intolerant. By framing the environment as a moral issue, they've transformed climate change into a theology brooking no dissension; dissenters are demonized as heretics rather than having their concerns legitimately addressed. And telling someone who's just lost his job that his taxes will go up to help Third World nations pay for climate change is a complete non-starter; it is ludicrous to believe that most people are so masochistic as to be willing to finance their own oppression.
Americans are less skeptical of security, but are turned off by excesses. Consider that Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, a rock-solid paleoconservative who supports a strong national security posture, renewed his opposition to whole-body scanners even after the alleged "attack" on a Delta airliner in Detroit. This is not only a reaction against the fact that we've transformed our airports into soft "gulags" nationwide, but also demonstrates resentment of extraconstitutional measures such as the infamous "no fly" list. Our refusal to use profiling also hinders airport security; if we know that a certain group of people have a greater propensity than most to attack airports and airliners, we should be directing increased scrutiny towards that group of people. Two-year-old babies and 78-year-old women do NOT hijack airplanes.
Prospective political candidates need to take these priorities into consideration to be successful. They should be heavy on the economy, responsive on security, but light on the environment.

We're loving the latest style selections by 14 year old Disney actress Bella Thorne lately. In the past week, the star was spotted donning some very stylish looks and trends while attending the annual Easter hunt at the White House, Nylon's 13th anniversary celebration and Marvel's 'The Avengers' movie premiere.
While egg hunting at the White House, over the weekend, Bella wore a three stripe colorful BCBG knee length dress with zebra print Sam Edelman shoes.
On Monday night, Bella was snapped arriving at the Nylon magazine 13th anniversary party held at the Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles. This time she wore all white in a white spaghetti strap tank and skinny jeans. She did add a touch of color with a cute pair of two toned green and blue strap sandals.
And just last night she was spotted wearing a blue and black BCBGMAXAZRIA dress and Michael Kors sandals at 'The Avengers' movie premiere in Los Angeles once again.
The 'Shake It Up' actress is quite the fashionista. We'll have to keep our eyes out for her and her fashion evolution. Are we loving Bella's fashion selections?
We're gonna go with yes! Keep up the great style Belle.

Citizenship for foreigners who lay their life on the line for our country really should be a no-brainer.Meaning non-citizens who join the American military should get an expedited path to citizenship (this is close to becoming reality). I don't really see how anyone could object to that proposal. Everyone else at TDAXP agreed.
So, from Rude Pundit, I bring you this:
Alex Jimenez's wife, Yaderlin, faces deportation because, yup, she's illegal. The woman pictured cuddling with her Army hubby may be sent back to the Dominican Republic, where she would have to stay for ten years before she could apply to come back. Her status as an illegal immigrant was discovered because, yup, Alex applied to get her a green card and legal status. The cruelest irony, if there isn't enough here, is that because Alex Jimenez is missing, a judge has put a hold on a hearing over her status. So now Yaderlin Jimenez gets to wait for the inevitable news that Alex was treated like a beef cow in the slaughterhouse and whether or not she's allowed to continue to live in the country that her husband suffered and probably died for.Nothing to say about it really. It's just disgusting.
The Rude Pundit would like to see Malkin and Dobbs and Tom Tancredo standing at an airport, watching Yaderlin led to a plane to take her back to Santo Domingo. Maybe they could manipulate the corpse of her husband, an all-American puppet hero, so it waves good-bye and good riddance, that no sacrifice is enough to get into their special club of citizenship.

We had a great stay here. The location is excellent right near Sherbrooke Metro station and to the St Laurence park. St Denis is a great street near some nice restaurants and bakeries etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the umbrella left in the wardrobe! Nice african decor and very comfy bed. It was helpful to be driven to the coach station with all of our luggage.
Only downsides: The coffee makers were slightly dodgy and the hairdryer was rubbish! Air Conditioning not great either.
Overall a lovely stay.

The Spirit Coming Through

I did this yesterday for my saving a lab a day blog. I was excited because I wasn't expecting what was happening. It's an 8 × 10, working quickly, and the eyes changed everything.
I was being conservative in the shadows but then found myself picking up color from my palette and striking here and there.
My friend came to visit with his 16 year old Lab and said one day while I was having an issue with the canvas and drawing." Just let it come out...There's a Lab there waiting to be seen!"
That's exactly what happened with this piece.

Audi is just Audi
User review on Audi Q5 written by Kapil Arora on 29 April 2015
Kapil Arora's review on Audi Q5 30 TDI Design Edition
Year of Manufacture : 2013 | Driven no. of Kms. : 25000
- Pros: good Performance, good looks
- Cons: luggage space is low
Once you see those four rings in the front, you cant help but stare. Same is with Audi Q5 car that comes with amazing looks. I have the 2.0L model in teak brown colour which looks very good. Performance on road is very good and pickup is great. True pleasure is while driving on highways. Features inside the car are good too and there is enough space for passengers to sit comfortably. Seats offer good comfort.

Health and wellbeing grants
Health and wellbeing grants
We are interested in healthcare projects that support and inform population health and wellbeing in Cambridgeshire, usually in the range of £10,000 up to a maximum of £250,000. Applications must be received by 30 November in each annual round. There is a rolling small grants programme under which applications in the range £4,000 to £10,000 can be considered at anytime. Whilst welcoming other applications, we would particularly encourage applications that:
Are in line with areas of focus for support based on the Cambridgeshire Health and Wellbeing Strategy, especially:
- Support young people within families with mental health, alcohol, violence or substance abuse issues
- Assist working age adults with long-term conditions and healthcare communities that support these issues
- Enable older people to receive help and support in the community rather than needing to go into hospital or long-term care.
- Work at a strategic level in the region to suggest new modes of improving health and well-being which can seed, inform and drive long-term policy and practice.
- For our small grants programme applicants should use the standard Health and Wellbeing form and there is no annual deadline
Grants are distributed at the Trust's discretion to selected charities, institutions and causes. Its reasoning behind its funding decisions cannot be discussed with applicants.
First read the health and wellbeing application guidelines for more about our funding criteria.
Health and wellbeing projects we've funded
Tackling the root causes of poor health
Any GP will tell you that that a huge proportion of the patients seen each day in primary care have problems that are impacting on physical and mental health, but that a GP cannot solve.
Bridging the funding gap
Families suffering from poverty and disadvantage turn to services for a safety net. But what happens when those services lose funding and are no longer available to offer help and support?

It's my guess that we cling to the harsher bits of the past not just as a warning system to remind us that the next Indian raid or suddenly veering, tower-bound 757 is always waiting but as a passport to connect us to the rest of the world, whose horrors are available each morning and evening on television or in the Times. And the cold moment that returns to mind and sticks there, unbidden, may be preferable to the alternative and much longer blank spaces, whole months and years wiped clear of color or conversation. Like it or not, we geezers are not the curators of this unstable repository of trifling or tragic days but only the screenwriters and directors of the latest revival.-Roger Angell, "Life in rerun, now playing near you." >The New Yorker, Issue of 2004-06-07

Souvenir Series, Sofia, and me
In the last couple of weeks, I've decided to shoot a fourth short film, which may be part of the Souvenir Series, or may not. We'll see. It was not in the original outline of the series, and it's out of the order I'd planned to shoot them, but the opportunity and idea presented themselves so clearly, I've decided to at least get it shot, then see where to take it.
Long story short, it's a reconceiving of the baptism/massacre sequence from Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. The scene is a classic, not only of storytelling and dramatic contrast, but of editing as well.
While it has the immediate feel of intercutting--jumping back and forth between simultaneous events--as this Yale film analysis site where you can watch (most of) the sequence points out, it's unlikely that all the other mafia dons in NYC were actually assassinated at the same instant. They call it montage.
Frankly, I always thought they were concurrent events. The baptism scene provides a sense of linear time that is utterly absent from, say, Jennifer Beals' rehearsal/welding scenes in Flashdance. (Gimme a break, she was on The Daily Show last night.)
Anyway, Seeing as how the baby in that scene was a weeks-old Sofia Coppola, and seeing as how I have a weeks-old baby myself now, and seeing as how I'm gonna be hanging out with the Coppolas tonight at a MoMA Film Department benefit, I thought I'd better start shooting.
July 23, 2003
High on my Souvenir Series
"In 1960 I began to experiment with the idea of constructing stories whose subject matter would consist of disparate elements and unrelated characters taken directly from life and fitted together as in a mosaic." That's Paul Bowles, in the preface to his collection of 1962 short stories, A Hundred Camels in the Courtyard, which Anne Galloway heaped praised on recently. [Anne also posts Bowles' complete preface.]
Bowles' stories were intended as bridges or intersections between the "two worlds" spoken of by Moroccan kif smokers: the world of "natural laws" and the kif world, which each kifhead perceives "according to the projections of his own essence." To a nascent filmmaker, reading "projections of his own essence" is like a gateway drug for the rest of Bowles' ideas. Now I ever smoked kif--never had kif brownies, even--but I think I get what Bowles is saying here, man.
As we rushed to edit my first short, Souvenir November 2001, Krzysztof Kieslowski's Dekalog became an inspiration for a series of shorts exploring some aspect of memory. I'd need some thematic connection or other--Ten Commandments? Opera? Rooms in a hotel? All about Glenn Gould? Each one's 11:09 plus one frame long? Opera? Use the LumiËre's original camera?--right? As the title of my second short suggests, I'm settling on months. Does that mean there'll be twelve? In addition to the two, I've got six written or outlined. We'll see if the conceit holds up.
For some of the compilations above "uneven" is the best thing that can be said about them. For a one-director project (that's not Animatrix), it may not have to. Slacker's apparently random daisy chain reads as a Richard Linklater monologue (or the voices in his head). And Jill Sprecher's excellent Thirteen Conversations About One Thing shows a mosaic of stories can be successfully, er, interwoven.
In any case, though, Bowles' kifworld experiment sounds most like the serendipitously revelatory approach I've been not quite able to articulate. So now I'm bogarting a hundred camels for my wannabe Chekhovian slices-of-life film? I must be high.

A: Yes, Reviews of Chekhov Have Been A Great Influence On My Work
"I had a professor once who said that as Chekhov got older he lopped off the eventful beginnings and twist endings of his early works and that quivering middle was the mature short story." -David Edelstein, SlateHere's to you, David Edelstein. Geez, I love you more than you could know. This sentence (the phrase "quivering middle," actually), in a movie discussion I'd already posted about, convinced me to some changes in S(J03). Ch-ch-ch-changes? Well, I lopped off the ending, for starters. And there was that schmaltzy, obviously un-quivering scene with the clock radio. Gone. At first I was afraid, I was petrified. But when I heard Chekhov'd done it, well, ain't no stoppin' me now. [I have stopped the...cheap trick...of making insipid oldies music references, though. Boston, Chicago, you may proceed.]
So while I must confess to not having read much Chekhov, I have read several articles about Chekhov, and they have alternately inspired/influenced/condemned me. There's John Bayley's NY Review of Books. Review. And those previously untranslated short stories in Harper's, the ones where a friend I'd lost track of turned up in the translated byline. And a few more here and there. Cart, Horse. Horse, Cart, I know, but if I'm going to continue making naturalistic short films, I think I'd better study Chekhov a little more carefully. And I hear he wrote scripts, too. (image: nybooks.com)

New Script, and the Souvenir Series
Early in the editing of Souvenir November 2001, I decided to eventually expand the short film into a related series of shorts, all ultimately interconnected a la Kieslowski's Dekalog (See the movie index for more references).
A couple of weeks ago, it became clear that the original documentary project which spawned greg.org could fit in this Souvenir series in some way. The result of this confluence: Souvenir January 2003, a short film about a man's quiet appreciation of ironing. Look forward to your comments.

Watching Mike Mills for 90 min
When I saw an hour and a half on Sundance Channel blocked out for Meet Mike Mills, I couldn't figure out how interesting he could possibly be. 90 minutes with Scorsese, sure. But 90 minutes with Mike Mills? Naturally, I HAD to watch it.
Turns out they showed the entirety of his shorts, Architecture of Reassurance and my favorite, Paperboys. It's one of the most unassuming films in a long time, and it's got a really engaging, smart view of a world many adopted New Yorkers have fled. (Architecture is actually about a girl who longingly wanders around an oppressively homogeneous suburban subdivision.
Paperboys figured into my first documentary project, adding to my conviction/hypothesis (depending on the day) that a studied look at rural life could be interesting.
Mills also directed the some of my favorite Gap ads (did that phrase just chase you all away? hello? ...hellooo?), the ones inspired by West Side Story, which is one of only four musicals I can stand. (For your purchasing pleasure, the others are Moulin Rouge, South Park and Umbrellas of Cherbourg.)
Mills' videos, commercials, and some shorts can be seen in the archives at The Director's Bureau site, which has one of the only Flash intros I don't mind watching. Work and info from his partners, including Roman and Sofia Coppola, is also available on the site.

Logging tapes after slacking
Still too distracted in the aftermath? Project in turnaround? The terrorist subplot deemed inappropriate for our new entertainment environment? No, no, and no. Just the rest of life--including work-related stuff, shuttling between NYC and DC, planning to build one house and to find another in the mean time, on and on--constantly impinging on my time and mind.
Also, recent travel has kept me somewhat out of touch with people who regularly ask, "how's the movie coming? I haven't seen an update on the web." Cue the friends in NYC last week, including one blog coach and sounding board who cracked the whip and told me what I needed to hear: block out the time for working on the movie, to the exclusion of other things.
Somewhat unexpectedly, this weblog is functioning as a catalyst to keep this project moving forward. Not even cart/horse, really; practically harness/cart/horse. [as it turns out, he had his own motivations, too; his thought-provoking entry that mentions this site was in danger of getting stale if I didn't update more frequently. Win-win, Chad. Thanks!]
Screening and logging: another reason it's been easy not to work on the movie is that right now (since the first location in July/August, actually) I'm screening the footage we shot, logging the contents, taking notes, taking stock. This process--time-consuming under standard practice shooting-- is even more consuming because of 1) DV profligacy and low cost ("just shoot 'em all and let the director sort 'em out."), and 2) the Maysles-inspired fly-on-the-wall, unscripted approach.
During the two hours I blocked out yesterday, I screened "Utah 7: LW Follow," a tape shot at my grandmother's house.
Activity: chatting around the table; searching for recipes; starting to make biscuits shucking corn; continuing to make biscuits; negotiating with my young CT cousins for the day's schedule; reading the paper; getting food for one, then another, cousin. It's extremely mundane activity, but my grandmother--who was a schoolteacher for many years--has an unconscious habit of gently narrating almost everything and punctuating her narration with aphorisms, observations, recommendations. "Sometimes it's better to listen silently across the room than to be the one asking all the questions." (a paraphrase).
[note: it's 10:30 AM as I write this, and someone is smoking a fatty right outside my slightly open window. Uptown. Off Park Avenue. They're hanging around, too, not just walking by. It's like it's 1994 or something.]
Image: It's generally pretty static, cleanly framed shots. Enclosed setting is a factor. Not a lot of movement by the subject, really. Also, the almost-impulsive decision to buy-not-borrow a tripod made it a favorite of the crew.
The crew being just me and Jeff, who did most of the shooting, also factored in. Ideally, it'd be more flexible with one more person to focus on sound, mikes, lighting, etc. I remember trying to corral my almost-16 year old cousin into being the boom mike guy, but he successfully evaded us for most of the time.
Technical: The sound sucks regularly. Our new XLR adaptor had a short in it, and there are long stretches where the popping and scratching are so bad, I almost had to mute the monitor. It would've been nice to test everything before getting out of reach of B&H. [note: the replacement's fine, though.]
Light is great. A southfacing kitchen window is all we used. Nice contrast. Some unhappy moments with the wideangle lens. And the graduated filter (for reining in the contrast between sunlight and interior, for example) had a smudge on it. Only for a few minutes, though.
Equipment: This so clearly falls into the, "but it's for the movie project" school of rationalization I shouldn't mention it. Actually, if I'd posted about it two weeks ago, it'd give a too-clear portrayal of how I was avoiding screening tapes. I bought a bag for the tripod at Jack Spade, a store near my old office. Cool store, nice folks. The pitch for the bag was, "it's for carrying blueprints. Or maybe a yoga mat." They can safely add "or a video tripod" to their rap. Here's a review.
Here's a puff piece about the premiere of Jack Spade Films' "Paperboys," directed by Mike Mills. Mike makes Moby videos, too.
There's an authenticity of the actual people and the store and the movie that I greatly admire, which is rendered cringingly fatuous in store reviews and movie premiers co-starring Tina Brown. How susceptible am I, is this project, to being "jaded Manhattanites [getting] a little nostalgic for suburbia?" I'd better make my grandmother executive producer. Back to work.
Actually, I'm leaving for a crazy two-day trip to see some friends whose work is in a show in London.

West Brom's Saido Berahino is seemingly greeted with a vast amount of sensationalised transfer speculation each and every time the next window opens among the Premier League. Could this be the year he finally departs the Hawthorns as many have previously suggested?
He certainly possesses enough potential to make a real success of himself within the English top-flight, but as the striker's attitude has subsequently been called into question after his ongoing troubles behind the scenes at West Bromwich Albion, it remains to be seen just what will come of Berahino's future this winter.
[nnr_content_fire id="2″]
If he could be purchased on the cheap, some fans among the English top-flight wouldn't say no to his once in-demand services this January…
Berahino, the same agent as Reece Oxford and out of contract in the summer. Could be bought on the cheap in Jan. Think he would thrive! ⚒
— Chris Morris (@ChrisMorris90) 20 December 2016
…but whilst Saido Berahino admittedly has a lot to prove within the Premier League…
Berahino is not a good option imo. Awful attitude and has scored about 5 goals since January 2015.
— Khaleem Azam. (@AzamWHUFC) 20 December 2016
…perhaps he could indeed represent a rather shrewd move after all…
would be stupid to say no to Berahino
— Connor???? (@CBCOYI) 21 December 2016
He hasn't exactly excelled at West Brom in recent years, it's true…
Berahino needs to hurry up and leave West Brom. I totally forgot about him.
— Daniel_C (@Danny_Cent) 20 December 2016
…but that hasn't stopped some supporters from wishing to see him at their club this January…
Love it if the toon sign berahino like
— Liam Mulvain (@LiamMulvain) 27 December 2016
…even if many consider Berahino little more than just another overhyped young striker…
Saido Berahino has got to be the worst will-he-won't-he transfer saga of all time. He isn't even that good.
— Alex Shaw (@AlexShawESPN) 28 December 2016
His proposed future among his current employers remains somewhat up in the air…
Why are West Brom offering Berahino a new contract & why would he sign when he never in the squad for WBA this season and only made 5 apps??
— #TeamLH (@Nadal_LH_Fan) 31 December 2016
…yet although Saido Berahino isn't quite everyone's favourite cup of tea these days…
Berahino is overweight & unfit, therefore can't do his job but still gets paid.
What a job to have when you can't be bothered but get money.
— Liam Cooper (@ItsLiamCooper) 21 November 2016
…the player in question will certainly prove one to watch this January, one way or another…
Berahino is an underrated transfer target for us. He has so much ability, so much to prove & he's available on the cheap. pic.twitter.com/3y4A0lYRn8

UI sophomore is semifinalist in Cosmo search
   URBANA ? A University of Illinois sophomore is a reluctant beauty who is about to make the national scene.
   With the exception of her roommate, her Delta Gamma sorority sisters don't even know about it.
   Ashlee Vorachek, - daughter of Curt and Holli Vorachek of Springfield, is one of 25 semifinalists in Cosmopolitan magazine's national cover model search. It is an impressive feat when you consider there were more than 5,000 entries.
   The April magazine showing her and the 24 other semifinalists goes on sale Tuesday.
   Judges from the magazine and people who access the Cosmopolitan.com Web site to vote will narrow the field to four finalists, who will be flown to New York City to pose for professional photographs. The final round of voting will start July 4. The ultimate winner will be featured on a fall cover of the magazine.
   The 20-year-old, dark-blonde, blue-eyed Vorachek has never entered any beauty contests, but she has had a taste of entertainment exposure.
   ?I was a dancer and in a ballet company in high school,? she said. ?I enjoyed being on the stage and taught ballet, jazz and tap.?
   ?A lot of people have told me, you should try it (modeling); ?You look like a Barbie,'? Vorachek said. ?I don't mean to brag.?
   But winning a modeling competition is not all-important to her.
   ?I don't want to do it as a career but maybe on the side,? she said.
   Now she is more involved with scientific pursuits. She is majoring in molecular and cellular biology and pre-dental courses. Her goal is to be an orthodontist.
   ?For awhile, I wanted to be a doctor, but the hours are not good,? she said. ?I want to have a family, and working in dentistry is better than being on call.?
   Vorachek is a James Scholar, which means she maintains at least a 3.5 grade average, can sign up for classes early and does an honors project every semester.
   Once a week she and a classmate teach a science lesson to fourth graders at Leal Elementary School in Urbana. She also is a member of the Illini Emergency Medical Services, a volunteer group that provides first aid and CPR for campus events.
   She is a member of the Pre-Dental Club and the Alpha Lambda Delta freshman honor society and serves as recruitment chairwoman for her sorority.
   But none of those accomplishments were part of the magazine competition.
   She said, ?All I had to fill out were my measurements, hair color and eye color ? no activities, interests or grades ? and submit four pictures: with a serious look and smiling, both close-up; a swimsuit full-length picture; and a picture in a short black dress.?
   ?My mom took the pictures; they were just snapshots,? she said.
   It was her mother who told her about the contest in the first place, during winter break.
   ?She said, ?You and your sister should just try it,' ? Ashlee said. ?My sister is a senior in high school. She's taller than me. I was saying, ?Oh, Courtney, you have such a better chance than me.' We were both, like, encouraging each other and we both ended up entering.?
   Vorachek, who is 5 foot 5, got the call from a magazine spokeswoman when she was back on campus.
   ?I was talking on the phone with my mom, and doing laundry, when all of a sudden I got another call,? she said. ?I said, ?Are you sure this isn't a prank call?' Then my phone died; it was a cellphone. I ran upstairs, plugged it into a charger and she (the magazine woman) called me back.?
   ?My mom is pretty excited,? Vorachek said. ?I told her not to tell anyone, that it was kind of like a ?Survivor' thing where we're supposed to keep it secret until the magazine comes out, but she'd already told some people.?

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very good
There's not too much to say about this one, but it's not as hard as you might think. You don't even have to think about the puzzles that hard, they can all be solved very easily, and it's not like a rubiks cube where you can get really close to the end, but if you mess up you have to backtrack, for this game, you can get really far and even if you mess up, fixing it is extremely easy.
I gave it a 5, and it almost deserves a 10/10, but since the puzzles weren't that hard, I feel like there should have been 2 more. But perhaps there will be a sequel?
Every day the same dream
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I'm not sure what to think
It was interesting, I think some people think the main game is deeper than it actually is. It should be obvious to everyone that this is how a desk job works.
However, there are interesting parts to it; like the homeless man taking you to the cemetery, "where it's quiet". So I followed that by jumping off the building, so I could be where it was quiet. To my surprise, I woke up again the next day, but then I decided to go to work with no clothes on, I was fired and woke up in the morning and my wife had left me. I went to work again with no clothes, to see what it was like there, but the place was empty, presumably went out of business according to the graph, but then when you keep walking right, you see something strange, I'm not sure if it is existential or an out of body experience, or what? I'm not sure what to think...
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is fantastic!
I just stumbled upon this game while going through the other mounds of crap on here, and oh my god it's amazing! It really makes you think and use your brain in a way that it is not often used for.
I'm not sure what to say, it's just great; although there are some problems with me knowing the shape but forgetting the word for it, lol. But it's not much of an issue yet, I'm at level 47 right now and I think I'm just going to bust my balls until I beat it.
Totally amazing and what an idea, hats off to you.
Larry And The Gnomes
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is a great game, and people should have no problem winning even on hard (I recommend playing on hard, you get some pretty cool cheats that way, and then you only need to play through once), because I believe that hard in this game is easier than the standard mode in Gnomergeddon.
Here's a small walkthrough for the bosses:
The Mage Master: IMO he's the hardest one because there is no set in stone strategy for him. I recommend picking up one of the powered up weapons earlier in the game to help beat him (throughout the first part of the game I used a sword +15, then later picked up a blade +20 poison), just hit him over and over with a fast hitting weapon to make sure he can't let out any attacks.
Every once in a while he'll summon some fist gnomes or some meteors. The gnomes are no problem, and they'll usually drop a health power up to help you out; the meteors are pretty hard, you can sometimes see the shadows of them before they drop so you can avoid them, but if you are too far up on the screen, they'll blend in with the background.
Anyways, just keep hitting him and you'll win eventually.
The Boar: He's extremely easy once you know how to beat him. Just dodge his first attack and he'll go off the edge of the screen. Now go down to the very bottom and wait to hear him trampling towards you, now go up to the top of the screen and walk either left or right, he'll pass you and throw a spear at you (which you'll have dodged from moving). Pick up the spear and wait for him to come trampling by again, he'll usually appear after 4 or so 'tramples', if you know what I mean. Throw the spear at him to stun him, and now pick up your weapon and start bashing him, you can keep hitting him when the boar rears up, but before his hooves hit the ground, jump up and away. Go back to the bottom of the screen & repeat.
The Freak: Very easy as well, start off by picking up a piece of fruit (make sure you're far enough away so he doesn't OHKO you), throw the fruit at him, now pick up your weapon again immediately and run at him and get in as many hits as possible. He'll jump up, and appear on either side of the stage (the one you're farthest away from) and start charging at you; sprint towards him and then jump over him. Rinse & repeat, he is very simple.
The Gnome King: The second hardest boss, but he's easy as long as he doesn't OHKO you (he will if he jumps on you). Start off by running back into the room you came from and hit some of the jars & barrels, an invincibility power up should be in there, run back and get some free hits in. Once invincibility runs out, keep hitting him for a bit and let him hit you to charge up your rage meter; when you get low on life, go back into the other room and pick up another invincibility (ignore any ordinary healths you see for now), run back and start hitting him. Whenever your rage meter fills, make sure to use it because you're invincible then as well. Just keep doing this over and over again, and make sure not to get jumped on (he doesn't do it that often, so it's not much of a worry); you'll defeat him eventually.
Hopefully that wasn't too long or too boring or too hard to read. Anyways, good luck with the game, remember; play on hard!
P.S. It was a great game.
Meat Boy
Rated 3 / 5 stars
The controls are unbelievably crippled
The game itself is very good, but the controls are unbelievably crippled. The hardness does not come from the challenging jumps or mind bending puzzles, or even the memorization of patterns, it's just that you move WAY too much. The second level of the salt factory in particular suffers from this, because if you tap the left arrow key for .0001 seconds, you'll die from the salt on the right, and if you tap it for .00015 seconds, you'll die from the salt on the left, so you have to hit it for .000125 seconds, and then steer to land properly.
Paperclip Physics
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very nice
It's an excellent game, but level 15 is glitchy, you can't go anywhere near the left boundary or you loose control of the paper clip ball. Besides that, it's an excellent game.
Journeys of Reemus: Ch.1
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very nice
Pardon my review on your other game, I don't know why, but that one doesn't work for me.
This one however did, and was very good. Although then again, I switched to firefox instead of using opera, perhaps there is a problem with this game running on opera?
Anyways, very good, I liked mixing the potions the best :)
Journeys of Reemus
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
What the fuck?
This game doesn't even work, I did what I thought I should do, but it didn't work. I then tried again twice, but nothing was working, all I could do was pop the cuccoon, squish the berries, and click the tongues, but that was it. I was puzzled for like 15 minutes, then attempted your walkthrough. Wouldn't you know it, I did exactly what your walkthrough says to do, and I also attempted various other methods, but nothing works, whenever I click on that asshole reemus, he's just like "Hmmm... I have no idea what you want me to do..."
What the hell? Is this just some kind of bug? I can't even progress through this at all, I dunno what's up.
You didn't list this as a bug, so I'm letting you know about it, but damn, it's quite a big one.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I thought it was great
People who say it gets too hard too fast, I agree, it is hard, but only really the second level. The levels should be changed into this order (roughly): 1, 3, 4, 5, 2, 6, 7.
Anyone who can't beat it must be 7 or something, because it's really not that hard, in my opinion, the only hard level is the second one (the sixth one is too, but if you can beat the second, you can beat the sixth).
I thought it was refreshing to see a new type of defence game that is actually a challenge and requires some thought instead of just placing any tower anywhere. the awards system was quite clever too, and they're very useful (especially the rewards you get for getting stuff to level 10).
To those having trouble with level 2: place a bunch of cannons really close to your castle and make sure to take advantage of their range and the way the paths are shaped in the level.
To those having trouble with level 1: play a different game.
The Last Stand.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great Game.
It was a great game, and you are able to play effectively right from the start.
I liked the story, the art was good, the notes were funny, everything was great.
Although some things were odd, some weapons were clearly better than others, though you unlocked them earlier.
Best weapons: Uzi, Shotgun, Barrett (Pardon the spelling).
Were there any secrets? If so, I did not unlock any. I was gonna see if there was a secret if you beat the game with 100% health, but I was reloading my gun when a fat-fast person came out, I was able to shoot them once before they hit my gate, but they survived the barrett and hit me once.
It was a great game though, truly deserving of #1.

The fatal shooting of a 107-year-old man at Pine Bluff brought much attention to Arkansas, and, it's rumored, could earn an "oldest victim" award from the NRA. But the state gunners are not resting on their oars. It appeared momentarily that a state law allowing school districts to arm teachers and other employees as "private security guards" might be toppled by an unfavorable attorney general's opinion. But the state board that commissions private security guards leapt into action and voted to allow 13 school districts to continue using the law. About 60 school employees will be armed and roaming schoolyards as a result.
Some of these schools are probably K through 12, raising the possibility that kindergartners could be brought down by promiscuous gunfire. If so, those would surely be among the youngest gunshot victims. The children who died at Newtown, Conn., were first-graders, as we recall.
We know what will happen if Arkansas children are harvested while attending school, and it won't be legislative action to remove guns from the campus. Instead, legislators and the NRA will cry that what's needed is more guns and more gunmen in school. They'll get their way, too. No matter how many people are shot to death in America — and there were another baker's dozen at Washington this week — lawmakers won't offend gun lovers and gun manufacturers. Are they bought, or just scared? It's disgraceful, either way.
