In my last post I talked about how popular – and common – wikis are on the web. But why aren't there any for the voluntary sector? Surely they don't only work when people are talking about the Muppets or Star Wars? I liked the comment posted on the last blog: surely the culture of volunteering in the voluntary sector would make us, as a group, ideal candidates for maintaining successful wikis?
There are two clear trends we've noticed at KnowHow, which suggest the time might be right for us all to embrace wiki collaboration as a form of learning how to do our jobs better.
more >
So, I thought it was appropriate to follow my introduction of iKnowHow with a post that had a bit less about cats and more about what a 'wiki' actually is.
Most of us will know about wikis from the huge site Wikipedia; the free, collaborative, multilingual internet encyclopaedia. Wikipedia is without a doubt the most successful wiki ever - with over 100,000 regular contributors and a total of 20 million articles written by volunteers around the world. According to Alexa, it's the 6th most popular website in existence.
But it's not just Wikipedia. There are thousands of different types of wikis across the internet, from the enormously popular Muppets Wiki to the infamous WikiLeaks. In short, wikis are commonplace, we already use them and they're here to stay. more >
KnowHow NonProfit , part of NCVO, is the online hub for nonprofit people to learn and share what they have learnt with others. It provides support on anything and everything to do with running a nonprofit. In 2011 they received a grant from Nominet Trust to explore how community editing (wikis) could be used by the voluntary sector to share knowledge.
Hello and welcome to the new KnowHow NonProfit blog that will chart our progress through a project that could change the voluntary sector as we know it. More on that in a moment. more >

In the hundred years between the publication of Die Braut von Korinth and the first (posthumous) performance of the one complete act of Chabriers Briséïs, Goethes ballad had become a minor cult with French writers and composers. Camille du Locle had adapted it as the libretto for Dupratos La fiancée de Corinthe, which was produced at the Paris Opéra in 1867; Anatole France had written a verse drama Les noces corinthiennes, a frank celebration of paganism, in 1876 (Henri Büsser made an opera of it forty-six years later); and Ephraïm Mikhaël had collaborated with his symbolist colleague Bernard Lazare on a dramatic legend in three acts, La fiancée de Corinthe, which appeared in Paris in 1888.
By the time Chabrier got to work on the story the Liebestod element had become the principal and culminating feature. The vampire had disappeared, to be replaced by a bride who returns from the dead to claim her long-promised husband, as in Goethes ballad but now with no predatory intent. Both these developments had been made in Mikhaël and Lazares La fiancée de Corinthe which, though the structure was to be reshaped and the names of the characters changed, is clearly the basis of Briséïs. A significant refinement in the operaintroduced, presumably, by Catulle Mendèsis that the Christian-convert mother condemns her pagan daughter to a life of chastity as a bride of Christ not merely to save her own skin but so that she might continue to pursue her missionary work among the unconverted Greeks. Most important of all, the lovers union in death at the end of Briséïs inspires a reconciliation between the conflicting elements of Christianity and paganism.
The background to the three-way collaboration between Mikhaël, Mendès and Chabrier is obscure but it is not difficult to work out what must have happened. It is surely not coincidental, for example, that Chabriers first recorded reference to the Briséïs project was made in 1888, the year in which Mikhaël and Lazares La fiancée de Corinthe was published in Pariswith a dedication to none other than Catulle Mendès. The likelihood is that Mendès saw the operatic potential in the dramatic legend, proposed to Mikhaël that they should collaborate in creating a libretto on the same subject, and suggested the idea to Chabrier. Certainly, it was in April 1888 that the composer wrote to Ernest Van Dyck (the Belgian tenor whom Chabrier had coached for the first Paris performance of Lohengrin in 1887 and who was now much in demand for Wagnerian roles in Germany) to tell him that although I dont yet have the libretto of my dreams, we are working on it andbig secret, keep quiet about it, you alone know thisit will be by Catulle Mendès, who is the only man capable of setting up a real lyric drama.
If Chabrier over-estimated Mendèss literary abilities he was not alone among his contemporaries in doing so. Debussy was to see through the fashionable reputation to the (as Dukas later described it) Parnassian bric-à-brac underneath when he abandoned his ill-advised collaboration with Mendès on Rodrigue et Chimène in 1892. But Chabrier was quite happy with the very beautiful verse Mendès had written for Gwendoline, their first operatic project, and he was confident that Briséïswhich he described as a paraphrase in three acts and four tableaux of Goethes ballad The Bride of Corinthwould be tender, poignant, super-passionate.
Declaring that his score would be the last word in modernism, Chabrier confessed that he did not know if it would be French but he was sure it would not be Wagnerian. I try to inoculate myself with the aesthetic of the man of bronze, he said, but never with his music. In fact his music is harmonically ten years ahead of its time and is very French except where it is too plainly reminiscent of Wagner, which is mainly in the more dramatically significant modulations and in the shape of some of the leitmotifs.
In August 1888 Chabrier reckoned that it would take him sixteen months to get to the end of Briséïs. Six years and one month later he died having completed the first act and leaving no more than a few variably decipherable sketches for later episodes in the opera.
There are many reasons for Chabriers failure to achieve what he regarded as the climax of his lifes work. There were early delays caused by Mikhaëls apparent unwillingness to get on with it, which the composer found intolerably irritating (although, had he known that the unfortunate poet was to die at an early stage in their collaboration, at the age of twenty-four, he would obviously have been more understanding). Chabrier had money worries at this period too: so, although he was a hopeless teacher, he had to give lessons and devote time to writing music which he could readily sellhence the composition of some of his most delightful mélodies, including a setting of Mikhaëls Lîle heureuse and the farmyard songs to words by Edmond Rostand and Rosemonde Gérard. He had to keep travelling to Germany where, thanks largely to the efforts of Felix Mottl, his operas were far more in demand than they were in France. His wifes already delicate health was deteriorating. Most distressing of all, his old nurse, Nanine, of whom he was inordinately fond and who had lived with him all his life, died in 1891, leaving him unable to work for months on end.
He could probably have coped with all that but for the basic problem that, at the same time as he was making a supreme effort to expand his creative resources, his final illness was inexorably contracting them. On a visit to Bayreuth in 1889 he had seen Parsifal for the first time and (with Van Dyck quite extraordinary in the title role) found it overwhelming: One comes out after each act absolutely overcome with admiration, bewildered, distraught, with tears running down ones cheeks. If he did not at first have Parsifal-esque ambitions for Briséïs he certainly had by now. But, as he forced himself to work on a structural and moral scale he had never previously envisaged, the paralysis associated with the terminal stage of syphilis was advancing on him.
Even as he finished the first act Chabrier seemed to sense that he would not get much further: Mottl could perform the first act, which I finished orchestrating the day before yesterday, he wrote to Van Dyck in Germany on 29 September 1890. I have worked my guts out, he added inelegantly but ominously. He played what there was of the work to his friends in Paris and left for his country retreat at La Membrolle in Touraine to hide himself away like a sick animal.
It was not until the end of March 1894after a period of years spent mainly at La Membrolle where he could scarcely bear to let the score of his dear Briséïs out of his sightthat he finally gave up and got Vincent dIndy, the best-equipped among his composer friends, to undertake to finish the work for him. When eventually called upon to do the job, however, dIndy, for all his good intentions, had to extricate himself from his promise. He was dismayed to find that what he had been led to believe would be just a matter of orchestration would really be a labour of composition from a few fragmentary sketches; and, anyway, he could not possibly work with Mendèss libretto.
Chabriers heirs had no more luck with Antoine Mariotte, Alfred Bruneau, Claude Debussy, Georges Enescu or Maurice Ravel, all of whom were invited to complete the work at one time or another. But, as the composer himself was aware and as dIndy so wisely pointed out, what there is of Briséïs can be perfectly well played and sung in concert and will be very interesting in that form. The first act was, in fact, introduced to the world by Charles Lamoureux at a Chabrier memorial concert in Paris on 31 January 1897. The first staged performance took place in Berlin in January 1899 under the direction of none other than Richard Strauss (who seems to have remembered something of the work when he came to write his Salome) and the first Paris Opéra production opened four months later.
Scene one
In spite of his large-scale structural ambitions in Briséïs, Chabrier still preferred to construct his scenes as a succession of separable (if not exactly separate) numbers. While rejecting Wagnerian declamation, which he considered very boring, he insisted nonetheless on threading a Wagnerian network of leitmotifs through his orchestral textures. As he confessed, it was a long and meticulous job involving the twisting and torturing of themes which he was determined not to present in a string of literal repetitions.
Whatever the problems, Chabriers motivation rarely seems anything but spontaneous. There is an appealing freshness, for example, in the rising and falling sixths of the serene sailors song at the beginning, and the Briseis motifintroduced by the strings at the point where Hylas first mentions her name and then repeated in all kinds of variants before her first appearanceis as graceful as it is brief. The painful message of the harmonies associated with Briseiss first mention of her sick mother is clear from the first tritone. On the other hand, which god it isOlympian or Christianwho has given Thanasto temporary relief from her illness and who is briefly represented by a firmly diatonic melody in the orchestra, is not made clear at this point. Hylass invocation of Eros, the intervals of his vocal line gradually expanding over an ostinato of bounding octaves, is an extraordinary expression of pagan energy.
Scene two
One of the more Wagnerian of Chabriers motifs is the one which, striding up from the bass in fifths and fourths, accompanies the vows of Hylas and Briseis as they swear by lauguste Kypris (or Aphrodite) to love each other until their very last days. More characteristic of Chabrier, and even more significant dramatically, is the legato three-note descending phrase associated with Briseiss apparently eccentric but actually ominous insistence that love must survive beyond death and into the tomb. Echoes of the lovers joyous anticipation of their wedding dayBriseis singing from the shore, Hylas from the shipare combined with a varied repeat of the sailors song as they set sail again. Several of the foregoing themes are reviewed in the orchestral interlude accompanying Briseiss reflections as she is left alone at the end of the scene.
Scene three
The suffering tritones reappear at the beginning of the third scene, both in the orchestra and in the choral exclamations of Hélas!. One or two other painful motifs associated with Thanasto contrast most effectively with the tenderness of the melody symbolizing the daughters love for her mother as Briseis first addresses Thanasto in Mère, qui me portais
But the most memorable melody of the sceneand potentially one of the main themes of the operais the triumphant march tune which, in her missionary zeal, Thanasto twice sings to the words Pour quau jour des moissons superbes. If the presence here of a clear echo of the Chanson de lalouette from Le roi malgré lui is frustratingly puzzling, the significance of a new vow motif in descending minor thirds, introduced as Briseis promises to give her life to save her mother, is all too clear.
Scene four
The last sceneChabriers supreme creative effortbegins with an orchestral development and choral apotheosis of a simple diatonic theme briefly anticipated earlier and associated now with Apollo. The Catechist enters with his own motif in a fanfare of trumpets and prays for Thanasto in Gregorian chant. But far from insisting on the difference between them, Chabrier combines the Christian and Apollonian themes in a grandly ecumenical orchestral gesture. So the way is prepared for the eventual reconciliation between faith in the Olympian gods, now invoked with crown-imperial harmonies by Stratocles, and the radiant Christian message of the Catechist. There is no prospect of reconciliation of the dilemma facing Briseis, however. After a conflict between the motifs representing the two vows, her own to Hylas and her mothers to God, she is compelled to comply with the latter and is banished to a life of chastity, accompanied by the melody representing her love for her mother and the latters triumphant march theme.
In his pleasingly affectionate but often misleading little book on Chabrier, Francis Poulenc gives a brief (and inaccurate) description of the events so far and adds, I do not know what would have happened in the following acts. But it is all there in the libretto, which was published complete (with the vocal score of the first act) in 1897. Once she has made the Christian vows necessary to save her mother, Briseis kills herself and then calls upon Hylas to join her in the nuptial gravewhich, after breathing in the deadly scent of the flowers she offers himhe joyously does, to the wonderment of Christians and pagans alike.
This recording is of a concert performance given in Usher Hall during the 1994 Edinburgh Festivalthe first performance ever in Britain, and the first for a long time anywhere.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions. Most screening is aimed at primary prevention and identifying the risk factors associated with the development of CAD and angina .
Screening Tests
High blood pressure is one of the most critical risk factors for CAD. Your doctor should check your blood pressure as a part of each exam. If you have chronically high blood pressure, your doctor may advise you of ways to monitor your blood pressure at home.
If your doctor suspects that you are at risk of developing CAD, you may have an EKG performed. This test records the electrical activity of your heart through electrodes attached to the skin. A "normal" EKG does not mean you are free of CAD, since most early changes are not seen on this test. But an EKG can sometimes document damage from an old, "silent" heart attack , as well as irregular rhythms.
These are especially important in checking for diabetes (blood glucose) and cholesterol levels (total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL). C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, is associated with CAD and may be a helpful screening test in high risk populations. Although, the correlation between CRP levels and the extent of CAD is low.
Your doctor may order chest x-rays to check your heart's size and to check your lungs for signs of lung congestion.
Also known as coronary artery calcium scoring, this noninvasive x-ray examination detects calcium levels in the coronary arteries, expressing the findings as a "calcium score". Calcium build-up is a marker of CAD.
ED has been found to precede CAD by an average of 2-3 years. One study found that men with type 2 diabetes and CAD were almost eight times as likely to have ED as diabetic men without CAD.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) , the hardening of the arteries outside of the heart, is also a marker for increased cardiac risk. An ankle-brachial index measurement is done to screen for and diagnose PAD. Blood pressure is measured at your ankle and at your arm. If blood pressure is lower in your ankle, it indicates that an artery between your heart and your leg may be blocked. Atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries is a systemic disease, and its presence in one area of the body increases your risk for disease in other areas as well.
This condition is related to CAD, but research is inconclusive and the relationship is not clinically significant enough to recommend measurement of IMT as a screening tool.

The study also examines how the right technology, people and processes are critical to the success of an organization's BPI center.
The webinar will be presented by Ted Ardelean, Director of Marketing for Océ Business Services and Holly Muscolino, Research Director for IDC, on April 12th at 2 P.M. ET. Highlights include the following:
BPI challenges and critical success factors
How optimizing BPI centers can improve downstream business process efficiency

Maryland Safe and Supportive Schools (MDS3) Initiative
What is the MDS3 Initiative?The MDS3 Initiative is funded by a grant awarded to the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) by the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools at the United States Department of Education (CFDA#84.184Y). The Initiative is funded to develop a sustainable state-wide system to measure school climate, the school environment, student engagement, and school safety in high schools. Participating schools will receive training, resources, support, and coaching in the implementation of evidence-based programs (EBPs) to meet the needs of their students and school community. Sheppard Pratt Health System and Johns Hopkins will collaborate with MSDE in the implementation and evaluation of the Initiative.What is the purpose of the MDS3 Initiative?This Initiative builds on the State's 11-year Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Initiative, which has supported implementation of the universal, School-wide PBIS model in over 900 Maryland schools. Additional support and more intensive interventions are needed for high schools to provide a continuum of strategies to meet the needs of their students. The MDS3 Initiative provides the opportunity to meet this need to improve school climate and reduce discipline problems, bullying, and substance use problems through the implementation of multi-tiered interventions. The data, coaching, professional development, and ongoing technical assistance provided through the MDS3 Initiative are designed to improve conditions for learning and, as a result, student achievement.What Does MDS3 provide?An online climate survey was developed by John Hopkins University in the winter of 2010 and administered to students, parents, and staff at all enrolled participating high schools in the spring of 2011 and 2012. This climate survey will be administered annually through 2014. Schools were randomly assigned to one of two groups: intervention schools or comparison schools. Upon completion of the survey in the spring, a climate profile score is provided for participating schools and is posted on this site, as required by the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. The intervention schools use their climate data to identify and prioritize specific needs for their school. Based on these needs, the schools select one or more interventions from a menu of Evidence Based Practice (EBPs). Sheppard Pratt Health System assigns Climate Specialists to each school to facilitate the implementation of those strategies with high fidelity. The schools in the comparison group have access to the survey data and receive an annual honorarium for their participation. Finally, at the end of the grant period, the comparison schools will receive the training in the EBPs selected by the school.What will take place as a result of this funding?The overarching outcome of the initiative is to improve the conditions for learning in participating high schools which will be accomplished by:
There are twelve (12) Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and 58 schools engaged in MDS3. Through a formal recruitment process led by MSDE, LEAs and their schools were enrolled in late 2010 and early 2011 for the remaining 3.5 years of the grant in the MDS3 Initiative (winter 2011 through summer 2014). Schools in the intervention condition receive training and on-site coaching and technical assistance in the implementation of one or more evidence-based programs that meet the specific needs of their school. Schools randomized to the comparison condition have access to the climate survey results, receive an honorarium for their participation, and receive training in the selected evidence-based programs at the end of the project (summer 2014). Climate profiles scores for schools in both conditions are posted here on this site.It is important to understand that the posted scores have been attained through the responses to the climate surveys with the inclusion of existing incidence data for each school (details follow). The creation and posting of these scores is a requirement of this grant and much consideration has gone into its calculation. However, there is no way to determine the "value" of the scores, at this time. It is important to view these scores as an initial calculation of BASELINE data collected through the early administration of a newly developed Climate Survey. We anticipate that as the grant continues and multi-year data become available, some conclusions may be drawn, but that is not the case at this time.

A beret and Tam (O' Shatner) cap started as a flat wool cap that was worn by peasants, but after the 1920's it was worn more as a fashion statement. They then were adopted into the military. They are commonly worn pushed to one side. Tam style hats set themselves apart from a beret in that it has a toorie or pom pom in the middle as well as an external headband. We offer these caps in cadet, military, bow knit, camo, fleece styles. These are great caps for all genders. Our crocheted, herringbone, mohair and plaid caps are perfect for little girls and fall and winter outings.

Bus Stop Backpack Game This is a great idea to keep children busy during down times (bus stop, bus duty, bus ride home, etc.). -Find a plain, flat spot on the backpack and create a tic-tac-toe board using velcro and any inexpensive plastic toy pieces (or make your own game pieces from craft foam). Draw the tic-tac-toe board on the backpack with a permanent marker. Then, attach velcro in each square of the board. Last, attach the other side of velcro to each game piece and put them on the board. Make sure you have five of each game piece. The game pieces can be nicely stored in one of the outside pockets of the backpack. See more games for kids |

Hertz Furniture's reception desks have great features that will be appreciated by receptionists and clients alike. We have various shapes, sizes and layouts that can suit different spaces. Many of our reception desks are part of larger office collections so they can be matched perfectly to other office furniture.
Unlike classic office desks, reception desks are distinguished by raised counters which offer many benefits for both receptionists and clients. Transaction counters provide a convenient space for filling out forms and distributing important information. They also separate the receptionist from what might be a noisy or distracting work environment. Because a receptionist often sits in a more open space that might include guest seating, raised reception counters create a separate personal workspace that is slightly removed from the hustle and bustle. Many reception counters also offer additional storage features such as letter organizers. These are especially convenient for keeping the documents that are needed on any given day easily accessible.
Because receptionists are often busy and need to stay extremely organized, reception desks need to offer enough storage space for office supplies and filing. Most desks come with two pedestals. Pedestals are either full length or ¾. You can choose pedestals that have only file drawers or a mix of box drawers and file drawers. If you work in a school office or doctor's office, more file drawers might be necessary to keep all of the paperwork in order. When ordering an office desk, the weight capacity of the drawers should be verified to ensure that your new furniture will accommodate your storage needs.
In additional to the usual pedestals there is often the option of a pencil drawer. The pencil drawer sits directly under the desk surface. It offers a great place for your most often-used office supplies such as favorite pens, scissors, paper clips or spare staples. Some of the reception desks have lined drawers for a more luxurious look and feel.
In the modern workplace, computers are a necessity. Computer-friendly desks eliminate clutter and make it easier to arrange a work space. Most reception desks come with built-in wire-management grommets. These make it easy to route cables toward a power source without running wires around or along the work surface. The less wires there are on the desktop, the more space there is for other necessary items.
Pull-out keyboard trays are another great desk accessory. They maintain an open workspace because they sit under the main work surface and easily slide in and out. A keyboard tray also helps position the body in a healthy posture, which reduces aches and pains.
Hertz Furniture carries reception desks from some of the leading office furniture manufacturers. You can choose from DMI, Mayline ABCO or High Point in a variety of styles and finishes.

From canvasses to costumes, this girl is on fire
By Myriam Gabriel-Pollock
It's early September in New York City, and though it's a balmy 85 degrees outside, in this cozy hotel suite with costume designer Trish Summerville it is nothing but cool. After all, she's here to accept the award for Costume Designer of the Year at the Style Awards, which kicks off this year's New York Fashion Week. Summerville is known for her edgy, memorable work on the costumes seen in 2011's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," for which she won a Costume Designers Guild Award for contemporary film. Next we'll see her eye-popping, fabulous costumes for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," which opens November 22.
Bing: More on Trish Summerville | See 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' photos
Summerville's work on "Dragon Tattoo" led to a successful collaboration with H&M: a 30-item fashion line inspired by Lisbeth Salander's hacker-chic wardrobe in the film. The leather jacket, ripped shirts, army pants and distressed hoodies were signature pieces in a collection that signified Salander's tough, intense aesthetic; women obviously loved the wearable, trendiness of the clothes, as the line sold out in record time.
"Hunger Games" fans looking to channel Katniss Everdeen will be thrilled to get their hands on Summerville's latest collaboration. In a partnership with high-end fashion retailer Net-a-Porter and Lionsgate Studios, a new line called "Capitol Couture by Trish Summerville" will roll out this fall, in time for the release of "Catching Fire," the second film in the phenomenal "Hunger Games" series. Sixteen ready-to-wear pieces—clothing as well as jewelry and leather goods—inspired by the film will be available exclusively on net-a-porter.com.
We spoke to her about her work and inspiration for "Catching Fire."
MSN Movies: Were you already a big fan of the "Hunger Games" films or books when you were asked to do the "Catching Fire" costumes?
Trish Summerville: To be totally honest, I didn't really know it, because I had been working a lot. Once I have down time is when my reading begins to happen. And it's in the same way as before I did Dragon ["Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"]; I had just gotten Dragon Tattoo the book to read it. And then that came up. So it was ironic. So for this one too is when I got the call for it, the movie hadn't come out yet. And so I had heard a friend of mine's daughter was talking about Katniss Everdeen, how amazing Katniss Everdeen was. So I started wondering, "Who is this Katniss Everdeen...what are these books?" And then I got the call for this and went to see the film because there wasn't quite a script yet, and then started reading the books.
Your mind must have been firing off: "Okay she can look like this, or like this..." I can only imagine.
It's so much to cover. For any costume designer, this is such a great project because it's expansive as to what you can do. So there was constantly...everything I wanted to fit in, how I'm gonna do all this, what's our color palette for each thing. It's a lot.
Judianna Makovsky did "The Hunger Games," and I think she did a great job. I was wondering between yourself and director Francis Lawrence, how did you guys come up with trying to keep certain things the same as "The Hunger Games," and then also moving towards your own vision of how things should look as well?
We had a meeting about it...and one of the things I thought that we should definitely keep that they all agreed upon was the hunting jacket and her boots. Because that's such an iconic thing for her from the first film. We wanted to travel that over to the second film. And then keeping the looks of Districts 11 and 12, having them have the same kind of essence of what they had in the first film, but then to build on it in the second film because we have other seasons. Before we only saw them in summer, and we mainly saw them at the reaping, where they're in their Sunday best. So we never kind of see that.
They're at the reaping, but this time they know who's being reaped. So they don't all come dressed up, 'cause they're not gonna leave and go to the Capitol. 'Cause it's only gonna be Peeta, Katniss and Haymitch that go. And they don't really care how they're going to the Capitol 'cause they're so anti- the situation now. So we were able to change that and kind of build on what they had from the first film for those two districts.
And then all the other districts you didn't see in the first film. So we got to completely do those anew. As far as Panem and the Capitol, fashion changes in the Capitol each season. So we got to completely do an overhaul on the entire Capitol because they constantly are wearing new, better, improved, "what can we have now." So we had a lot of liberties and we could just change pretty much everything.
I changed all the peacekeepers as well because this time around the uprising is starting and there's a lot of tensions. So they needed to look much more intimidating. They needed to look much more fierce and strong. And as well as President Snow, I changed his look completely because it's that same thing. His authority is being challenged. He has to step it up. He has to look more dignified, more regal, more powerful. So we were able to change all that because of the storyline.
That gives you a big, broad --
Big palette to work with. [Laughter]
I read that when you do a movie, you create inspiration boards. And I think in "Catching Fire" you said you created 40 or 60. And hopefully someday they'll be on display somewhere...
I hope so, too! I have a lot of them at my home. And then we were just trying to think, 'cause at one point we took photos of them because we were gonna ship them. And they were like, "Who has the photos?"
And how do you go about creating them? Do you just have canvasses around and you just start sketching?
It's sketches, it's tears, it's fabric swatches, it's yarns, it's color chips. It's anything you could --
It's a collage.
It's a total collage of everything. At one point when I was starting, when people start coming into your department to work, and you have to do the rundown of what each thing means, some were like, "What does that mean?" Because for me a lot of times it's like my boards can be really random. It's just something that inspires me, that I just wanna just throw up there, whether it's an artist's work, or it's a building, or it's bugs, or it's one piece of fabric, or a piece of metal.
For "Dragon," one day I found a piece of barbed wire on the ground. And I cast a bracelet out of it and made that for Lisbeth Salander. And in this, it was the whole thing with the seashells for the fishing district. I wanted to make sure we incorporated just various kinds of shells that they could have in their clothing.
Fans will be happy that you decided to give Finnick no shirt. [Laughter]
[Laughter] Yeah, he has no shirt. He has no shirt and then a low shirt. [Laughter]
I read that Sam Claflin, when he got cast, was like, "I was out of shape, I was this white British guy, I don't work out. And then I'm getting cast as this God-like gorgeous guy." So he's hoping that between the training and the costumes and some movie magic, he'll look like the Finnick that the fans are expecting. And he looks pretty good.
He does! We had this funny conversation when he first came in 'cause we were talking about different things. 'Cause I was saying, "I try to read the fan sites to see what the fans wanna see, what's really important to them." And he was like, "Oh God." And I was like, "But you don't read them?" And he said, "Well, one girl even said, 'Oh my God, Sam Claflin...if it's him I'll just literally kill myself.'"
That's pretty intense!
I said, "If she feels that strongly about that, there's not much you can change." And then at the second fitting and third fitting when he came in, I was like, "You are Finnick. The fans are gonna embrace you as Finnick. There's no better Finnick than you." He's great and he worked so hard and trained so hard. And he's just easygoing and sweet and lovely and a giant goofball. And he completely transformed himself to be Finnick. And he did an amazing job.
Did any of the other actors have any kind of input? Like, "I want to look like this," or "I think I want this accessory." Or did they kind of just leave it all up to you?
I think also too because it's such an interesting story that you can't base... with period films you have documentation of what that looks like, of what people wore, what body shapes they were, how their hair was. But for this because it's this mysterious time and place, and it's all fantasy in your mind of what it could be, it's the future, but we're not sure when. So I think it's once we started doing fittings with them, they would have maybe a few ideas or concepts. But they were really good about me being like, "Hey, I think you're wearing this because here's why, and this relates to your district because of this."
And they were all really open and really eager to see what my ideas were. Everybody was really great. It was really, really great. The biggest thing I would always kind of ask for them is when we were trying on the Games costumes. Literally, can you do squats across the room and roll around and jump up and down and do jumping jacks, so we can see can you move in this. Because it's the thing that they have the most function in and the most stunts.
Because they're wearing that the whole time in the arena, right? That kind of black and white, gray--it looks really high tech, and really stretchy.
Yeah! [Laughter] Super functional, yeah. I was trying to make it functional physically, comfortable for the actors, making it visually appealing. And then what fits on 24 different body types, 'cause you have 24 different body types. And they're wearing it for such a long period. They're wearing it in the water, out of the water, running up the hill, in the jungle, in the heat, in the cold. And even with the shoes--what could they swim in, what could they run in. So it was really, it was a little bit challenging to kind of encompass all of that.
Was there a character that was a bit more challenging for you to come up with certain costumes for?
I think the thing that was challenging...not being a particular character, but with all the districts...the victors that come forward, the tributes. For the stage interview with Caesar Flickerman, and with the chariot, you have to relate it to what their district does. So some of them are challenging. There's a grain district. There's the lumber district. The power district. So it's like trying to find interesting things that you can do for each one of those that isn't comical, but is a bit tongue in cheek about what their district does, but is still an interesting idea. So that was challenging.
Was there a particular costume you just had so much fun with and really loved?
There's a lot that I love. I really love one of the jackets we made for Jeffrey Wright, who plays Beetee. One of the ones we did for him; we had two different ones. One of the jackets we had just put all kind of gears and electronics. We hand-sewed all these gadgets. It's as if he's working in the factory, he kind of puts things on his clothes, his character. And these are backstories that you don't see. But it makes sense that his glasses, he hooks on with his own wire. And then on his chariot costume, his jacket looks like power surges of different colors. And we have light strips that are sewn onto all of it that actually light up. So those were fun.
And then also for the grain district, Seeder's dress is made out of husk. And then she has a lot of wheat that we hand-sewed onto her dress.
Amazing. We haven't seen these in the trailers yet.
No, and I don't know how...it's sad because there's certain things I don't know how much you will actually see in the film. 'Cause there's a lot of things that you make that you never actually see. So I hope at some point there'll be photographs of it that will circulate. 'Cause her little dress was so cute.
Have you seen the film?
I have. It's not totally complete from what I've seen. But it looks amazing.
Was it just incredible to see your work up there alive, moving?
It is incredible to see your work. But it's also for me the whole overall of it matters so much. Just seeing some of the opening shots are so beautiful. And there's nothing of mine that's in that of this opening. But the shots are so beautiful and so moving, and hearing some of the music that they've laid in--that's amazing and great. The special effects, the visual effects are amazing. So overall I'm so happy for Francis and for everyone who's a part of it. Because it just really is gonna blow people away.
Just the trailers are amazing.
Yeah. The trailer is so good.
It seemed to capture the essence.
And there's a lot of really emotional scenes in it that are really moving that you get a little caught off guard. [Laughter] You're like, "Oh!" You get a bit tripped up.
Are you prepared to sort of be, if not already, a household name? You had the H&M line for "Dragon Tattoo," and now you've got this new line coming up [for "Catching Fire"]. And it's got your name on it: "The Capitol Couture Collection by Trish Summerville!" Are you prepared for this change--to be a bigger thing in the fashion world, while now you're known in the movie world? Now you'll be huge in both.
I hope so. For me, I just stay the course and I take each project as it comes. 'Cause we never know what's out there for us. And we never know what can happen. So I just try and take each project as it comes and really focus and give it my all. Like I was saying, it's like when I get a project I kind of eat, breathe, live, sleep it. I engulf the whole thing. And I kind of do that with each thing that I do.
And I hope that this expands and opens up. 'Cause I wanna do everything. I wanna do a line, I wanna do a jewelry line, I wanna keep doing film. I wanna experiment with everything.
That's what I'm really excited to see. Other than the clothes, I can't wait to see the accessories, the leather stuff.
I think people are gonna really like it. It's interpreted from the film, but it's ready to wear items that you can wear. A part of the reason I didn't do Effie's kind of clothing is because her clothes are so much more over the top. And I think Effie needs to stay that way. She needs to stay couture runway, and a tribute to McQueen in that sense. But the other things that we've done, we've kind of done it and interpreted it so that it's wearable clothing that is functional for your life.
I have to ask you about Katniss' wedding dress. Because we've seen the front, and we see that little bit in the trailer where she spins, 'cause Caesar Flickerman asks her to. And then you see the back of it, you see the shape, you only see the front. And then you see Snow's reaction. How did you and Tex work out how that would look?
It's actually two different dresses 'cause she's in the wedding dress and then she spins into the Mockingjay dress.
The top one burns off, right?
Right. And so I was working with [Jakarta designer] Tex Saverio on the wedding dress, figuring out what fabrications make it light so that it can spin and she can move in it. And then keeping the cage, the metal piece of the cage; it feels like it's flames and fire. And then there's laser cut pieces around the waist that are laser cut to look like feathers. So it's like white fabric that's just cut in the shapes of feathers. And then having the straps kind of work so that you can buy that maybe the other dress is underneath and this one burns away. So yeah, we did a lot of Skype sessions before he came to town.

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" opens November 22.
Acclaimed director discusses how an ordinary day becomes extraordinary in his latest movie
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Director Richard Curtis' latest film "About Time," a time-traveling romantic comedy, began with a conversation between old friends about happiness and what would make a perfect final day.
Bing: More about Richard Curtis | More on 'About Time'
After writing hit films such as "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill," and directing "Love Actually," the 56-year-old New Zealand-born filmmaker said he was at a time in his life when he realized it would be a normal day with family, friends doing what he usually does.
In "About Time" Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson plays Tim Lake, a charming, insecure young lawyer trying to find his way in life and love, who can travel back in time and comes to the same conclusion.
"I've tried to really write a film that isn't only just about friends and love but about family and children and about losing members of your family, and about protecting members of your family," Curtis said about the movie that opens in U.S. theaters on Friday.
The film reunites actor Billy Nighy, who appeared in "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Love Actually," with Curtis. He plays Lake's father, who tells his 21-year-old son that the men in the family can travel through time to revisit and change events in their own lives.
"About Time" is a bit of a departure for Curtis, whose earlier romantic comedies, although witty and tender, were grounded in reality. But the director thought the best way to show how special an ordinary day could be would be to invent someone who could change what happened in his own life.
Naking every day count
In addition to Gleeson, who appeared in "Anna Karenina" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," the film also stars Rachel McAdams, of "The Notebook" and "The Time Traveler's Wife," as Mary, Lake's love interest.
Stage and screen actress Lindsay Duncan is the family's matriarch, a woman whose style icon is Britain's Queen Elizabeth, and Australian actress Margot Robbie, who stars in the upcoming "The Wolf of Wall Street," is his first love.
Curtis said he chose McAdams for the part because he thought she would be the perfect actress to transition in the film from a young woman on a first date to a mother of three.
He envisioned Nighy as the universal father.
"We loved the idea that people would be able to put their own father in the place that Bill was occupying," said Curtis, who lost both his parents in the last five years.
Set in London and the southwest coast of England in Cornwall, "About Time" follows Lake, who was disbelieving at first but finally gets the knack of time travel. He uses his gift to woo and win Mary after a false start, to help family and friends out of professional and personal problems, and to relive precious moments with his father.
But ultimately Lake realizes that he doesn't need time travel to find happiness and make the most of his life.
"If the movie has integrity it is because I actually believe it would be great to try and be happy every single day with very simple ingredients," Curtis said.
"About Time," which is produced by Working Title Films and is distributed by Universal Pictures, is his third turn as a director. It is likely to be his last after he confirmed media reports he has no plans to direct another film.
"I caught up with what I'm thinking about life," he said.
But Curtis will continue writing and is working on "Trash," a film about street kids in Brazil that will be directed by Stephen Daldry.
"I think there will be other journeys," he said.

Back in February of 1991, Christina Amphlett and Mark McEntee of the Divinyls joined me live in the studios of 92.7 WDRE on Long Island. The song "I Touch Myself" was getting major air play all over the country... so I asked the question. Mark's follow up to Christina's answer was pretty funny. BTW- Christina was a complete sweetheart during the interview, so sad she was taken away from this world at such a young age of 53.

Yesterday I had the chance to chat with Billy Howerdel about A Perfect Circle. We talked about By and Down, the box set that is available on November 27th, as well as what is going on with Ashes Divide, A New Perfect Circle record as well as some personal information. Billy also shares whe he enjoys doing outside of music and a few bands he is into. Their new CD, Three Sixty A Greatest Hits Collection which has By And Down, is available today. I really enjoyed my conversation with Billy. More info at their website and facebook page. You can also follow A Perfect Circle on Twitter. Thanks for listening,
Today, I had a chance to speak with Ray Davies about his new book, Americana, which is a Fantastic Read. The book starts with him being shot in New Orleans and continues to travel back and forth all the way through sharing many stories that make for an incredible book. The use of lyrics in the book tie in beautifully and reading some of the great stories about the Kinks was a blast.
