Illiteracy, extreme working conditions, child labor, amongst others, are common concepts in the region. Told in first person narration, these stories move people to tears.

Team Collaboration
We were, and still are, quite worried about merchandise carriers. So we chose the topic and got our research started. But something was missing… we wondered how much people knew about it in other places in the world. We got in contact with Krishna, from New Hampshire in the USA, who immediately put his hands to work.
Mayra told us what her mother experienced when she was living in the region. This was a starting point for us to organize a content list for the website and divide the tasks for each member. In one of the meetings Vero said "we have been told about it, but we have to go there and get the information by ourselves".
We told the headmistress at school about our high expectations with this project, and after some meetings with our coaches, she decided not only to authorize us to travel there, but also to join us in our journey providing the means of transport to do so.
Having knowledge about people's feelings there, Mayra felt it would be significant for her to be in charge of the "life stories" section. Belén organized the research work and helped Verónica to prepare and analyze the interviews, as well as the school talk. Inspired by observing a little girl during our visit to Villazón, Cony proposed to make some drawings about one of those child's thoughts. She also kept taking notes during the whole trip, so she offered to do "the journey's diary" section. As regards Rodrigo, we can say that he did quite a hard work with the design, always listening opinions and suggestions about it. He gave movement to Cony's drawings and added the scripts for deaf people visiting the site. After putting in order the material collected, we shared it with Krishna. He planned a campaign for spreading the word to kids about our age who gave their opinions. He concluded his work with an emotive essay. Besides, he helped with the language.
The hardest moment we face was getting the merchandise carriers' interviews, because one salient characteristic of people in the region is that they are very shy, so it is difficult to get them to speak. We were so worried about not getting their experiences that we immediately proposed not taking personal photos while listening to their stories, and just two of us met them. This proposal worked quite well.
In spite of being quite a hard topic to deal with, we had a great time sharing opinions, organizing online and personal debates. Every decision was made taking into consideration the acceptance of all team members, always supported and guided by our coaches.
Co-operative work was the basis for creating this website
Team Diversity
Our team consists of members not only facing a different language but also a different socioeconomic background, due to Argentina is still a developing country. The digital bridge between the US and Argentina was lessen by the effort all team members did to keep in touch
English was a great challenge. On the one hand Mayra, Vero, Belén, Cony and Rodrigo taking extra English lessons after school and, on the other hand Krishna was doing his best to help with team members' writing skills. It is not only a matter of knowing the language but also learning about each other's culture to understand the feelings, moods and life perspectives.
Personal interests were always present, above all when dividing the tasks, sometimes influenced by their previous experiences or knowledge of special issues. Such as considering that this situation should be known in South America we decided to include a Spanish version of the site for people around us.
Each one has diverse ideas about life but we all agree in one fundamental basis: solidarity.

A more money is flowing into the markets and more money hit the markets last month.
-- since the dot com air we're talking the last decade twenty point seven billion dollars of inflows were recorded in the month the January that's the most since April.
-- 2000 but my next -- says this is happening to -- eight.
What is happening in the US economy Scott -- the united advisor -- market practices there.
All right -- saying that this is all despite the fact that the economy does not look good in your opinion Scott what's the problem.
A lot of things surrounding take your pick out one thing that I think directly impacts consumers and how much money they have to invest as it is wage growth right I mean.
If you look at wage growth just in the last say employment numbers it's it's -- existed in fact it's flat to just slightly up over the last one in two years and if you adjusted for inflation.
By the way it's not up it's actually negative so.
-- people don't have as much money -- discretionary incomes that are not putting as much money to stocks because they know the economy's not great.
Household balance -- -- talking about house a -- kids what we have seen.
The housing market continued to recover really turnaround in many people's opinion and -- also saying that unemployment number.
Kind of jump up a little bit but still these inflows still the movement into the equity markets is that because this is cash has been on the sidelines the people -- to put to work all our.
Is it because the bond market is such a bad option right now.
I think that's totally -- -- I think money is flying out of bonds faster than you can counted and what's happening as.
Share with money market rates again near zero should that it has to go somewhere and and the way to get that return of that total return.
With dividends included is equity markets so you have to go in.
To say stocks here if you're in -- bond say because you don't wanna guys see the deterioration -- prices rates go up as they have been around the world in both.
In the US and other countries -- you have to see other money look for something and that's going to be equities with dividends.
I I guess what it's -- really do about you know this is the lesser of two evils that and you know fair enough what their earnings so far certainly a lot of companies are beating but and the estimates -- lower.
At the same time several times you come on the show several times and talked about.
High yield corporate bonds.
Do you study and that and to be fair here that spaces as not really done -- well -- in like money is leaving that space as well do you stick with us.
Well I connected is very young and -- -- bonds have been pretty good considering.
They've given you almost an equity like return -- with half the volatility it's kind of like.
The hamburger that has half the calories and all that all the -- taste because really high yield bonds -- if you look at the bonds space right if you look at high grade corporates you look at US treasuries.
Those yields are are compressed I -- they're down around 2345%.
High yield Jason you can still get 789%.
And again not a lot of bill vol.
Sodium daily market's got -- who were looking at those charts not sure if you can see it but the returning to -- -- the last three months the return has been negative.
An even over the last year because like a 1% returns or even on LQG what's that's I'm asking you -- staying with that as it seems like.
A lot of money has moved to wave from that -- Yeah and -- it is more the high grade corporate -- the high yield is more -- Ph.D.s of the world that.
Al-Qaeda is still does have.
A higher yield and C a treasury bond does which again I think you're gonna start seeing a lot of outflows coming from.
An offensive on equity is and you know lot of daylight today I think our viewers are gonna kind of feel the same way as -- saying the data -- a 136 points.
You -- got a couple of ways sector plays that we can be defensive if things go south and the market to sectors like Scott.
Yeah how about sectors here -- a consumer Staples XLP people have to buy shampoo toothpaste and toilet paper.
And you know what happened in New Orleans in the Super Bowl last night -- like utilities and you can't tell you look that good dividends and they act defensive when the market gets nasty.
Okay maybe even -- there was a stock play you until the play out a New Orleans I'm gonna be a little more picky than I would have been yesterday afternoon or Friday it's a good point.
Scott Martin thank you very much for going to be following earlier thanks thanks got.
Currency of them.

Posts tagged: batch sync dailies
The shoot I mentioned in yesterday's post, was the first project we recorded audio on-board of the dII.
It was also the first project I used Resolve (9) on for conforming and grading.
So how do you get the audio, embedded in the DNG frames, in a format no single decoder can read at this time, synced to the DNG sequences?
I'm not going to do much explaining about 1 & 3 in this post, 'cause it's been described elsewhere. Namely:
To do 1., download the Audio Tool and the minimalistic user guide for the tool from the Ikonoskop site.
To do 3., I refer you to page 258 (less minimalistic) of the wonderful Resolve Lite manual. "Open the Conform page, then Right-click the Master timeline in the Timelines list, and choose Link to Audio From Selected Bins …"
But what about 2.? Well, the Ikonoskop Audio Tool has three possible output formats: WAV, AIFF and BWF. Only one of the output formats supports Timecode, namely BWF. But Resolve 9 Lite only reads WAV. So the only solution at this time seems to rewrap the BWF's as WAV's. I used the first tool I came across: Name Munger. It changes the extensions extremely fast.
Update: as of version 1.1 it's no longer necessary to rewrap the files - the option BWF creates WAV files with timecode.

Bursar Main Menu
Refund Policy
Refund of tuition and fees may be requested only upon written application for withdrawal from school. The withdrawal form should be completed in the Office of the Registrar. No refunds will be made to students dropping a course after the drop/add period. Refund checks will be made payable to the student, regardless of who may have paid the fees. Credit card payments will have refunds credited back directly to the credit card if the refund is not associated with financial aid (loans, grants and scholarships). Refunds for withdrawals will be mailed starting the ninth week of the semester. All withdrawal refund checks will be mailed to the student's address as listed in the Registrar's Office. Students may elect to have check refunds sent to their personal checking accounts via Direct Deposit. How to set up Direct Deposit. eRefunds take 1-5 business days to reach student checking accounts.
The refund amount for students withdrawing from the institution shall be based on a pro rata percentage determined by dividing the number of calendar days in the semester that the student completed by the total calendar days in the semester. The total calendar days in a semester includes weekends, but excludes scheduled breaks of five or more days and days that a student was on an approved leave of absence. The unearned portion shall be refunded up to the point in time that the amount earned equals 60%. Students who withdraw from the institution when the calculated percentage of completion is greater than 60% are not entitled to a refund of any portion of institutional charges. Refunds are based on the withdrawal date of the term's calendar days, not how many times the individual classes have met. Withdrawal dates and corresponding refunds are based on the date the withdrawal for all term courses becomes official, or when the official withdrawal process is complete. The withdrawal process is not complete until all the paperwork and appropriate signatures have been obtained. See Registrar or Enrollment Services for details. See Fall 2013 Official Withdrawal Refund Schedule for Session A (16 weeks). For shortened sessions, see Bursar Office for details, or email Jessica Weaver, Assistant Bursar.
Students who register for classes, pay fees, and formally withdraw from school cannot re-register for that term.
Refunds are not made for late registration, late payment or graduation fees.
A refund of all tuition and other mandatory fees will be made in the event of the death of a student at any time during an academic term.
Students who attend multiple sessions within the same semester may only qualify for a refund if they withdraw from all of their classes. Sessions are withdrawn according to the schedule of the class whose first day of class occurred earliest in the term. Students are ineligible for refunds for any sessions if one session has already been completed for a grade in the term.
Summer Semester Refunds
Summer refunds are based on percentage completed over multiple terms, depending on courses enrolled in each session. The Summer 2013 refund schedule for Session A applies to summer courses running the full ten weeks of the Summer 2013 term only. Summer 2013 Session B and Session C courses have five week refund schedules. Please see the Bursar's Office for more details if you are enrolled in multiple Summer sessions and would like information about withdrawal refunds. Due to the varying length of courses offered during the summer, refunds are based upon the individual course length. Due to the multiple lengths of summer semester classes, refunds for withdrawals and cancelled classes will be mailed at the end of the semester.

Another year passed, another crop of films come and gone.
We publish our list now, at the cusp of 2011, because we needed an extra ten days or so to collect our thoughts — and to steal the time and search under the sofa cushions for the extra money to see every possible movie.
The first list you see is the official Company list. Farther down you'll see all of our individual lists, a special list from Paul, and an explanation of how the Company list was computed.

3. Exit Through The Gift Shop
4. Black Swan
5. Carlos
6. The Fighter
7. A Prophet
8. True Grit

Finally Serious Men
by Giampaolo Bianconi
True Grit, dir. Joel & Ethan Coen (2010)
My previous opinions on this blog can attest to my cagey relationship with the Coen Brothers. Some films—like The Big Lebowski—stand out as undeniably great, while others—anything from Miller's Crossing to No Country for Old Men—seem a little too content with their supposed perfection for me to find them genuinely good. True Grit, though, appears to demonstrate a new direction for the Coen Brothers. (more…)

Fall 2010 Preview: Ten Best Bets
by Jake Teresi
I fear this may seem late, but, really, what have I missed so far? You should be thankful I didn't get your hopes up about The American, which seemed to have a lot going for it, but which opened last week to mediocre reviews.
Never Let Me Go (limited September 15)
Music video director Mark Romanek adapts the first Kazuo Ishiguro novel since 1993′s The Remains of the Days. Going from Jay-Z's 99 Problems to a high literature is an odd transition no doubt, but, judging from the trailer, he might bring to the film the visual flair that the Merchant Ivory literary adaptations of the 80′s and 90′s lacked. The film is populated by a renowned but not haughty cast of Carey Mulligan (abandon Shia LeBeouf, for godsakes), Keira Knightley, and Happy Go Lucky's brilliant Sally Hawkins.
The Town (September 17)
Wide-releases in September don't get much better than this. Ben Affleck's follow-up to the surprisingly powerful Gone, Baby, Gone returns again to Eastern Massachusetts (which was portrayed gloomily but perfectly by Affleck before). With excellent casting – Jon Hamm finally stepping out of the 60′s and on to the screen, Jeremy Renner post-Hurt Locker, and the always reliably crooked Chris Cooper – a compelling thriller structure and the potential of the plot not tripping over itself in the third act like Baby, this could be the film of the year.
Wall Street 2: Money Never Dies (September 24)I want to not promote this movie because of Shia LeBeouf, but, despite my belief that he is overused and untalented and undeserving of Carey Mulligan's affections, I have to admit it's a fairly inspired use of him here, although who overlooked Joseph L-G? Much has already been said about the perfect timing of this movie and of Oliver Stone's much awaited return to form, and I won't repeat it here (having just done exactly that). And watch out for Josh Brolin, genius.
Waiting for "Superman" (limited September 24)
I hate the presumably legal "quotation." We're not going to mistake this for the sequel to Superman Returns, which, if it ever comes out, should be avoided like the plague. Getting past this negativity, let me give this little, important documentary some buzz for our couple dozen readers: My friend saw this at Sundance and said it was the best documentary she had seen in years. Unfortunately, it merely adds to the laundry list of needed national reforms – but education, of course, is a fucking crucial one. Can you picture an even dumber generation? Fortunately, Shia LeBeouf is not approached by the documentarians for his opinion on the subject.
The Social Network (October 1)
When it was announced a Facebook movie was in the making and would be directed by David Fincher, I was puzzled. It seemed as implausible and far-fetched as a Monopoly movie produced by Spielberg. I wasn't aware of the scandals that erupted out of its creation, which, if you go by the trailer, seem pretty intriguing. I thought it was frivolous at the time, but, really, thinking about it, Facebook is one of the most interesting and important inventions of the last decade. By putting the entire social experience of college [and high school] online, it dominates our culture and shapes our collective unconscious. This is Fincher's chance to retreat from the Academy's good graces and make up to his fans for the ill-conceived Benjamin Button.
Inside Job (limited October 15)
Here's a real thriller. Turns out the economic meltdown was easily avoidable, if only Matt Damon narrated in our heads and not just in scandal-docs. Director Charles Ferguson (the excellent No End in Sight) interviews everyone from George Soros to prostitute-enthusiast Eliot Spitzer to uncover the truth and get us angrier than ever. It's the last in a year of economic documentaries (Casino Jack, Freakonomics, We Want Your Money) but may be one worth waiting for, as it was voted best film of Cannes.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1 (November 19)
The movies have been progressively getting better, Emma Watson's been developing nicely, and the last book is easily the best. It's also in 3D, and one can hardly wait to see Ron Weasley's raging erection popping out of the screen.
Black Swan (limited December 3)
After seeing that trailer, how can you resist? Without being sure whether it's a gripping work of art or the hokiest guilty pleasure of the season, I was thoroughly mesmerized. More Requiem for a Dream/The Fountain in style than The Wrestler, Darren Aronofsky still considers it a companion piece to his last, seeing as both are centered in worlds that require demanding performances, though he seems to have thrown out the Dardennesque gritty realism for psychological nightmarish fantasy. Almost all reviews coming out of Venice have suggested the film displays Arofonsky's distinct talent, though the Hollywood Reporter claims it is indeed a "guilty pleasure, a gorgeously shot, visually complex film whose badness is what's so good about it." This is not to be missed – it is a film that will be loved and hated, but will, most importantly, incite discussion.
True Grit (December 25)
I'll say that I'm both turned off by the fact this is a remake of a famous Western and such fodder for next year's awards ceremonies – I mean, come on, it's the Coen Bros., it's a remake of a famous film that won John Wayne best Actor, it stars academy favorites Josh Brolin, Matt Damon, and last year's winner Jeff Bridges, and it opens on fucking Christmas. Of course, that's no reason to believe it won't be fabulous.
Another Year (limited December 29)
English director Mike Leigh (Secrets & Lies, Topsy Turvy, Vera Drake, Happy Go Lucky) is nothing if not consistent. He reunites here with Turvy's Jim Broadbent and Drake's Imelda Staunton for an ensemble comedy that looks at the loneliness and narrowing options that come with growing old. Reviews have been stellar, but that's no surprise.
NOTE: I'm upset that these films that are all either American or English, but that's how it goes this season, I suppose. Julian Schnabel's Miral is a letdown, as is ZImou's remake of Blood Simple, and Biutiful, after Babel, I can't muster enthusiasm for.

Palo Alto, CA -- HP was selected by DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. to deliver the technology behind The Croods [1], pushing the boundaries of modern imagery for this prehistoric animated adventure that is anything but primitive.
DreamWorks Animation leveraged technical resources throughout HP to create the most advanced graphics to date for the family comedy. HP Converged Infrastructure [2], comprising servers, storage, networking, services, management software and workstations, as well as HP printers and digital rendering, provided the seamless, high-performance foundation needed to meet the studio's artistic demands.
"Cutting-edge digital manufacturing requires a huge amount of compute power and orchestrated collaboration across our studios," said Derek Chan, head, Technology Global Operations, DreamWorks Animation. "HP Converged Infrastructure ensures that our filmmakers have the technical resources they require to bring their creative vision to life and deliver amazing films to our audiences."
The production of The Croods required more than 80 million render hours to generate visual images from 3-D models. To bring to life characters such as Grug, the overprotective dad, and Eep, the teenage rebel daughter, DreamWorks Animation relied on HP ProLiant servers and HP Enterprise Services in render farms across four geographic locations: Glendale and Redwood City, California; Las Vegas; and Bangalore, India. High-performance, continuous compute power delivered by HP solutions enabled DreamWorks Animation to render the large amount of data required to produce the film.
Additionally, HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 server blades provided the studio with more than 40 percent higher throughput, and improved performance by more than 42 percent per watt compared to previous generations. As a result, the studio increased render capabilities to an average of 500,000 jobs a day.
To create the exotic creatures and intricate landscapes that the Crood family encounters, DreamWorks Animation artists used HP's ultimate workstations, the HP Z820 and Z800. Featuring dual Intel Xeon processors, the HP Z820 Workstation is up to 50 percent faster than its predecessor, allowing artists to work on large, complex scenes across multiple shots, characters and films in an interactive environment.
HP Z800 Workstations also were used in the new DreamWorks Animation state-of-the-art recording studio to capture the imaginative inventions of Guy and the warm laughter of Gran. Further enhancing the user experience, HP's Remote Graphics Software allowed artists across studios in Glendale, Redwood City and Bangalore to collaborate in real time on a single desktop display.
Building on a relationship that began in 2001, DreamWorks Animation relied on HP for nearly every facet of technology animation in the production of The Croods.
Key benefits include:
HP hardware, software and services supported The Croods from ideation to completion, allowing DreamWorks Animation to complete the production and deliver the cutting-edge graphics their fans expect.

Rena Sofer always seems to land ethnic roles. As the newest regular on NBC's "Just Shoot Me," Sofer plays Vicki Costa, a hairdresser from Brooklyn, whose name is Greek, but whose ethnicity is undefined. It's reminiscent of her Emmy-award winning role of Lois Cerullo Ashton, the brassy Italian Brooklynite she played for five years on the soap opera "General Hospital."
She's also known for playing journalist Rachel Rose, the stereotypically ideal Jewish woman who goes out with a Reform rabbi (Ben Stiller), in the 2000 film "Keeping the Faith."

Ever think you would see your campus president in a swimsuit? What about in front of a third of the student body? And all for a good cause? Well, you can think again, thanks to a group of DePauw University seniors challenging their president, Dr. Brian Casey, to a swimming race for what started as some old-fashioned competition but turned into a $5,000 venture for the senior class gift fund.
"I tend to talk a big game, but when it comes to swimming, I think Dr. Casey has the same personality as I do. He told me any stroke, any distance – he would beat me," remembered Alex Kriegshauser, the senior responsible for instigating the challenge.
Dr. Casey has room to talk. The former Division I swimmer was a captain while competing for Notre Dame and continues to swim most mornings with DePauw's Division III swimming teams.
An added element of intrigue (which helps this story become relevant to this blog, mind you) is how this challenge played out in the world of social media.
After the challenge was set, the confident president took some unique initiative and issued a dose of pressure to the competitors via YouTube.
"I went to one our students who was working on another video project and I said, 'I need to make a trash talk video for this' and we did it completely on the fly," Casey said.
Here is Casey's challenge:
So, it was official. This little idea for a swimming challenge was bound to be something bigger – and so it became the Splash for Cash. It needed rules. It needed a goal. And most importantly…it needed a rivalry!
The Rules: Casey and Kriegshauser agreed on the rules: Kriegshauser could field a team of four swimmers to compete against Casey in a 100 meter swim. Casey, though, made sure that no current or former DePauw student-athletes were on the team as an effort to make the race more fair.
The Goal: It was determined that the loser would have to find a way to get $5,000 into the senior class gift fund: Casey would write a check, and Kriegshauser would be responsible for coordinating fundraising opportunities to reach the $5,000 mark before graduation.
The Rivalry: Kriegshauser just couldn't let Casey have the last word, so he enlisted his production crew and issued a response. From the front steps of Casey's house, nonetheless.
The videos caught on and the challenge eventually became a big campus event.
"Once the videos went up, you could feel the event explode," Casey said. "The night of the race, we were turning students away at the door because the facility only seats 380."
Well, the outcome of race didn't work in Casey's favor, and he will be warming up his check-writing hand soon. But aside from showing his competitive side, he also solidified himself as a forward-thinking, humorous guy that can still rock a Speedo with confidence.
And chances are this isn't the last challenge we will see on video.
"Hopefully he will call for a rematch soon. Maybe he can get a faculty team to take on our student team," taunted Kriegshauser.
"This story is not finished, yet," Casey replied.
"This was my first communication to our students on YouTube and it certainly won't be the last."
Sounds like a "stay tuned" is in order.

Union Jack Collection from Viscount David Linley
Filed under: Cigars, Decor, Men's Style
The latest design from bespoke cabinetmaker (and nephew of the Queen of England) Viscount David Linley is a line of elegant accessories featuring an inlaid Union Jack motif. Consisting of a humidor, jewelry box, tea caddy, cufflink box, and large and small picture frames, the exquisite and extremely British pieces pieces are finished in walnut with the flag artfully rendered in a marquetry of burr oak, burr walnut and ripple sycamore. Like Linley himself, the Union Jack boasts a royal lineage; the flag originated in 1606 after King James I of England was crowned, uniting the kingdoms of England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. The humidor, for about $2,000, is lined with Spanish cedar wood and has a built-in humidifier and hydrometer to preserve cigars. The jewelry box, for about $1,800, is lockable and lined in red faux suede with a compartmentalized, removable tray. The tea caddy, for about $1,000, is available in a limited edition of 25 pieces, and comes complete with a supply of Fortnum & Mason Royal Blend loose leaf tea. The cufflink box, for about $650, is lined in beige faux suede. The picture frames come in a large and small size for about $440 and $400.

American Idol winner Phillip Phillips was in the MUCH studio yesterday to perform two songs from his hit debut album The View From The Side of the Moon and to chat with New.Music.Live. host Lauren Toyota in front of a live audience. While the conversation included everything from Phillips recent tour schedule to his attempt at a Canadian accent (check out his 'aboot' reference in the clip), the topic quickly turned to his feelings towards American Idol.
When asked about the new judges, including Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban, Phillips said "It's definitely different. It's a new season. I'm done, I don't have to worry about it." But will he be watching Idol when it premieres in January? Find out in the clip after the jump!

Dolley Madison slept here. As did three presidents: William Henry Harrison (1841), John Quincy Adams (1848), and Zachary Taylor (1850). Harrison's three-month stay was three times longer than his presidential term. All the presidents' bodies have since been moved to their home states.
Today, Congressional Cemetery, which boasts of being "in the shadow" of the U.S. Capitol, is overshadowed by a more prominent cemetery -- Arlington. But the Johnsons are devoted to keeping Congressional's memory alive. At least as long as they are alive. And then maybe, just maybe, beyond.

London Cycle Club Opening Night
All photos © James Purssell
The hotly anticipated Rapha Cycle Club London opened its doors to a big group of friends on Friday night. Over 350 people squeezed into the new place for some fine wine, beer, and a host of gourmet treats. The place was so busy, in fact, that many couldn't hear the accordion player hired to serenade the club-goers. One of the highlights of the evening was watching a replay of the day's Tour stage, a huge roar going up as the big screens showed Mark Cavendish rocket to victory in Brive-la-Gaillarde.
A nigh on perfect time to open the store, Saturday and Sunday saw more crowds flowing through the Club to watch Wiggins and company romp to an historical Tour de France win in Paris. British cycling couldn't really ask for more now could it? Champagne was handed out to folks on Sunday as Les Rosbifs celebrated in the French capital.
Rapha's flagship location in Soho in the heart of London will be serving up the finest cycling products, accessories, gourmet food, drink, coffee and, of course, live racing. Events and rides will also take place. For more info visit the Cycle Club page »
Club location:
85 Brewer Street, London W1F 9ZN - map
Opening Hours:
Monday to Friday - 7.30am to 9pm
Saturday - 8.30am to 7pm
Sunday - 10am to 6pm

Watched the Tour there on Sunday, nice place but please sort out the alcohol licence! Realise you don't want the place to turn into just another Soho bar but would be nice to have the odd beer without needing to order food each time. Especially as the place lies almost directly on my ride route home from work.

@Tom Jennings: Tom, we had a hell of a time securing a licence to serve booze. And, like your good self, we love a drink or two but this was the only way we could get around rather strict licensing red tape. Bizarre that in the UK getting a licence to serve alcohol is so tricky! Cheers.

Each day I worked one-on-one with renowned installation, sculpture, and performance artist Janine Antoni. I was involved in conversations and idea-building for projects. Janine embraced me immediately and trusted that the skills I learned at Moore equipped me to be a valuable studio assistant. I used skills I learned at Moore—like mold making and concept sketching—and worked as a production assistant on one of Janine's newest pieces. Janine is also a dedicated wife and loving mother who delicately balances all of these roles so central to my own dreams and aspirations. Janine even took the time to critically discuss my artwork.

Design by Ross Lovegrove, 1998. Reflections for a wall lamp inspired by the shape of swimming goggles and the mirror treatment of sports eye-wear lenses. Goggle is an elliptical lamp in Opaline polycarbonate that can be fixed to the wall at a normal or tilted angle, singly or in rows, to create a lively cluster of lights. The color variation of Goggle's flat surface is created solely by the different angle from which it is observed. The lamp's color changes are in fact caused by an iridescent film that exploits in-mold decoration technology to become an integral part of the diffuser. Material(s): Polycarbonate Dimensions: 7"W X 12.5"H X 5.5" Lamp Type: INCANDESCENT, COMPACT FLUORESCENT Bulbs:

Beautiful light and effects, not the best materials.
The goggle is a nice 'fun' fixture for a young hip home. The fixture is not small so check your dimensions if used in a staircase. The dichroic coating changes color with the viewing angle and is a nice detail touch, the fixture body is a translucent plastic and does not feel as sturdy as a glass body. Great fixture for the price! By:Carsten S. , Architect (Seattle)

Doctor Who £799 Tardis ready for Cannock Chase scene
It is an icon of the sci-fi world, famed for transporting the man they call the 'Doctor' back and forth in time.
And while the distinctive blue panelled police box is normally seen on the streets of London or spiralling through the space-time vortex, one has popped up a little closer to home.
The Tardis has been spotted out and about on Cannock Chase after craftsman Alastair Vincent quit his job as a financial adviser and started a business making replicas of the sci-fi icon.
The first one took him three months to design and build, but now he produces around one a week, with a price tag of £799.
The box will soon be transported to the site's main visitor centre in Marquis Drive, Hednesford, in the run up to Christmas.
Father-of-one Mr Vincent, of Muddy Paw Creations, explained: "The rangers at the Chase love the box. So it'll will soon be a feature outside the main visitors centre.
"When they start selling Christmas trees from the end of November, the police box will land."
He said visitors will be wowed by the light at the top which will flash red, green, yellow and blue.
And there are lights inside as well. He added: "They are a bit of fun and I think that they are likely to be used as a shed or maybe a wardrobe.
"I used to hide behind the sofa at the Daleks and can't say I am a fan of the programme but I am sure a lot of Dr Who fans will see the police box and make a connection to the programme."
The 45-year-old, from Hednesford, started making bespoke playhouses and police boxes after taking voluntary redundancy from his job as a financial adviser last year.

Linda Muse's ringing cellphone interrupted Thanksgiving dinner.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's homicide detective excused herself, abandoning a warm table of friends, relatives, turkey and cranberry sauce — and stepped back into a world of blood and horror. It would be the 32-year veteran's last interrupted holiday. Her retirement was just weeks away.
"Muse," she answered gruffly.
"Guess who we have?" her longtime partner, sheriff's detective Traci Healy, asked. Muse moved away from the table so the revelers couldn't hear. "I don't want to play guessing games," Muse growled. "This is a holiday. Get to the point."
"We have Saenz," Healy said.
"Jose Saenz?" Muse said.
In truth, suspected multiple murderer and rumored Mexican drug cartel hit man Jose Luis "Smiley" Saenz was the only Saenz in her caseload. She just couldn't believe he'd actually been caught. He had eluded local and national authorities for 14 years — Muse herself for four. She set up stakeouts and raids all over Los Angeles to catch "Smiley." She returned empty-handed from manhunts in El Paso, Texas, and Lafayette, La.
Muse and other detectives were so desperate for a break that they'd tracked down Saenz's distant relatives, flown across the United States and staked out their homes over the holidays in 2008 and 2009, hoping the elusive killer would show up.
He never did.
On New Year's Eve 2010, an informant told Muse that Saenz was partying at a nightclub in Pico Rivera. She and a surveillance team swarmed the place. He wasn't there. She heard rumors he was in Canada, Mexico, Los Angeles. But he was nowhere.
Could it be that Saenz, one of the most chilling criminals on FBI's 10 Most Wanted list, had finally been caught? "Yes," Healy told Muse.
L.A. Weekly was the first newspaper to shine a light on Saenz, an Eastside boy who some police believe was trained to kill south of the border by Mexican cartels. On June 17, 2010, the Weekly published an in-depth investigation and a graphic, disturbing, grainy home-security video, apparently of Smiley, taken on Oct. 5, 2008, in Whittier.
In the security tape, a man identified by police as Saenz rocks from side to side, grinning, as he waits on a porch for his friend, drug dealer Oscar Torres, to open his front door. Torres lets Smiley and two other men inside, the video shows, but minutes later Torres, now wearing only boxer shorts, flees out his front door. The man ID'd as Saenz chases Torres into the front yard, and when Torres falls down, holding up his arms pleadingly, the smiling madman empties his gun into Torres at point-blank range.
Police believe that Saenz was livid that Torres, while doing a cash run between L.A. and New York with $600,000 earmarked for Saenz, got pulled over by Missouri state troopers — who confiscated the suspicious fortune. That cash, police believe, was Smiley's.
The front-yard execution, one of four murders Saenz, 37, is officially suspected of, put Detective Muse on his tail and earned Smiley a Most Wanted spot.
"Once we learned who it was, that he was responsible for three murders prior to ours, it was evident that he's a serial killer," Muse says. "He's probably really good for more than the four murders we're aware of."
Authorities say Smiley began young, with the double execution of two gang members, Leonardo Ponce, 18, and Josue Hernandez, 25, on July 25, 1998. Less than two weeks later, Saenz horrified even hardened gangsters by brutally killing his girlfriend, Sigreda Fernandez — the pretty mother of his young daughter.
Police say Saenz and another gangster kidnapped Fernandez, 21, at gunpoint in front of her mother, took her to the home Saenz shared with his grandmother and told his grandmother to leave. Hours later, Saenz's grandmother returned to find Fernandez face-up in a pool of blood on Saenz's bed. She'd been raped and shot in the temple. Muse says it appeared that the cold-blooded Saenz wanted to be sure his girlfriend could never tell authorities about the killing of Ponce and Hernandez.
After that, for a decade, the heartless killer from East L.A. was little more than a rumor.
As a teen, Linda Muse loved true-crime magazines, with their stories of monstrous murderers and the heroic detectives who brought them down. Years later, she worked her way up in the Sheriff's Department, spending a decade investigating child abusers and molesters. She joined Homicide 12 years ago, and has since led or helped probe more than 1,000 homicides.
Muse, in her 50s with curly black hair, who feverishly follows the adventures of author Michael Connelly's fictional LAPD detective, Harry Bosch, could make a fine protagonist: A grizzled and blunt detective, she visits the gym as religiously as she attends church, and she doesn't drink — her drink is a Shirley Temple. But she drives like a bat out of hell.
Just two weeks away from the end of her career, she's haunted by Smiley and how he eluded them. "He's running amok, but we couldn't pin him down," Muse explains.
After Torres' execution, Saenz's name took on an almost mythic quality. Even with a $100,000 reward on his head, no witnesses came forward. Word was that this L.A. kid had become an assassin and kidnapper for the drug lords. Nobody knew what was true.
