After discovering the music of The Polyphonic Spree in late 2012, I made the ambition to create a music video for their first album in 6 years. After emailing the band's manager, Chris Penn, I was able to get an advance copy of the album, some 8 months ahead of the public release. After selecting a song, the creation of the music video took 6 months of self-financed and independent production.
The Australian comedy duo The Umbilical Brothers were a treat to have on set. Their brand of physical comedy (as seen in their worldwide tours, and children's programme 'The Upside-Down Show') melded well with a satirical takedown of trendy 'one-take' music videos, specifically the fantastic clip for OK Go's 'This Too Shall Pass'. I love it, but I've always been interested in what happens on the failed attempts at a video of that style. They brought with them professionalism, and all of the original puppets they've used in their 20-year career. They were on board with the crazy idea I had, and helped create the physical routine you see in the video.
The production of the video itself was a gargantuan effort, involving a warehouse rental, practical effects, 17-hour work days, nearly 700 square meters of black plastic, and over 600 table tennis balls. Luckily, we were helped out with friends and family donating objects, and nearly 20 people helping out on the shoot day.
My producer Kara Schlegl co-ordinated with construction genius Patrick Gallagher to construct all of the gags/devices, in just five days. The cinematography by Jack Crombie (assisted by David May) involved a total of 12 continuous takes, split over two warehouse rooms. The Umbilical Brothers themselves are actual collaborative geniuses, used the music to help designate where gags should be located within the warehouse.
Although it was a physically and mentally demanding shoot, we rallied together and produced something that can sit alongside the other fantastic endeavours of both The Polyphonic Spree and The Umbilical Brothers. And for it to premiere on NPR's 'All Songs Considered' was incredible, for a journey that started with an Australian director in his bedroom.
In 2013, the video won 'Best Video' at the Dallas Observer Music Awards.
Here is a behind the scenes look at how we did it:

Save the date: Reunion Weekend June 3-5, 2016
Presidents Newsletter 12-05-14
Dear Families and Friends,
The holiday season is upon us, and final exams are quickly approaching. As one student said to me Sunday night, "Doc, what a terrible way to ruin the holiday season- finals prevent me from shopping!" My response of "spend less time texting and buy online!" was maybe not what she wanted to hear, but it made sense to me! I know that the week of vacation for Thanksgiving made Christmas come even faster, so the pressure is on for everything, but we're in the home stretch and our students will be headed home for their much-deserved breaks before we know it.
Enrollment for Spring will be very close to what it has been this Fall. We will also welcome back 86 students who studied abroad in the Fall, as well as 40-45 transfer students.
Food Services- always a challenge
Throughout the Fall I have talked to students about the variety of food, the quality, and service in the Callahan Center Dining Hall. There is also a comment board where students write daily messages and post requests. The comments are about what we'd expect – mostly that the food and atmosphere are good, but lamenting the fact that it is not the same as home! However we do receive occasional complaints, and we do our absolute best to address them all as best we can.
This year we invested a great deal into the building- new equipment, increased staffing, and the best possible food with multiple options. I know of no college in our area that provides more. I am concerned, therefore, when I get letters that say sons and daughters truly dislike the food. I am at a loss to answer the few intense concerns that are written directly to me. While I can say that I disagree, that it's impossible to please every single person, it would not be in anyone's best interest to approach it that way. I understand we all have different needs and expectations.
However, we have put forth extensive effort to ensure the dining experience is more than satisfactory for every student, and to learn we may not have achieved that makes me wonder what additional steps we can reasonably take. So I am inviting any parent who wants to visit on a typical day for lunch or dinner to come and try it out. This way you can find out for yourself and then let me know what you think we can do to improve it. If you would like to participate, please call my office and we will arrange for you to get a complimentary meal pass. My only expectation is that you email me with some feedback about your experience and any suggestions for improvement. Until I hear specifics, I feel that the Callahan experience is superior to most with very caring and dedicated staff. They work hard to meet everyone's expectations and I'm proud of the meal options we provide to students every day.
In my January newsletter I will share the results of our fall student survey – this is done each year and is very useful for revealing issues that need addressing.
The Social Club
I am pleased to say that the new social club (name to be announced after Winter break) will open at the end of January in the lower level of the Wax Center. It will provide a great spot for evening and nighttime socializing. The social club will have the following: A bar with beer and wine for those 21 and over, high- and low-top tables with combined seating for all ages, movie theater, dance floor, lounge chairs and sofas, fireplace, and of course, multiple large screen TVs. The venue will include non-alcoholic nights, 21 only nights, karaoke, and much more. The final touches, which will be completed in the summer, include: game rooms, a large outdoor patio, and fire pits. By September, it will be a great place for students to take a break and provide an inviting space for them to visit with friends on campus.
Senior Housing Construction
We're very pleased with the progress of our new senior housing, which will be going up behind the current Mods and will provide 287 new beds on campus. In the interest of time and to improve efficiency in the construction process, the majority of the interior spaces are being constructed off-site, and will be transported to Endicott for assembly and finishing. You can read more about the process, and how far modular construction has come in recent years, in this article by Bergmeyer Associates, the architects working with Windover Construction on the project. The building is slated for completion in fall 2015 and we plan to have students moving in August 2015! Dr. Wylie has some innovative plans regarding student-leadership in the building, and we look forward to seeing those new ideas implemented in this great space.
Community Service
It has been amazing to see the entire Endicott Community rally together to provide presents for families in need this holiday season. Our annual partnership with Beverly Bootstraps Adopt-a-Family program and HAWC once again saw gifts flying off the table to be donated. Athletics, in particular our football and dance teams, continued their partnership with the Key Program with their "Toys for Touchdowns Drive". This year other athletic teams joined in the tradition of giving, including promoting an Unwrapped Toy Drive at our Men's and Women's Basketball home opener. Several clubs and organizations provided random acts of kindness on campus, adopting a local family and partnering with Wellspring to provide gifts for families in transition. How wonderful it is to be part of such a giving community!
Business Office
Billing- The Bursar's Office would like to remind our families that spring semester statements are available here. The due date for the spring semester billing is January 5, 2015. Student accounts must be financially cleared in order to participate in athletics, check into housing, or to attend classes. Please check the clearance status on COAST to ensure that students are financially cleared. If the status is "Not Cleared," please contact the Bursar's Office at the email address or telephone number below so that we may assist you with financial clearance:
1098T Forms- Internal Revenue Code (Section 6109) requires that students provide social security numbers to the colleges they are attending so that a Federal 1098T form may be issued. Under Federal law, all colleges are required to produce 1098T forms for all students enrolled in courses for credit each calendar year. The 1098T forms are issued in January of each year and filed on an information return by Endicott College. Those who intend to take Federal tax credits for tuition and fees must produce 1098T forms and proof of payment to comply with IRS requirements. Students who failed to provide a social security number to the College at time of enrollment will receive a Federal W9-S form in December requesting this information so that we may file a complete 1098T form on your behalf.
Change of Residency Status
If you are interested in changing your residency status (from commuter to resident or resident to commuter) please note that this must be done on or before December 15 to avoid losing your $500.00 continuation deposit. Minimum requirements for approval for off-campus housing include:
All Change of Residency forms are subject to approval. The Change of Residency Status form may be found here.
Spring 2015 Course Registration
The registration period was scheduled from October 22nd through November 19th. During this period, students met with their academic advisers to discuss their academic plan and to select the courses for the spring. Students must carry a minimum of 12 credits to be considered a full time student, and students with a GPA of 2.0 or higher may register for 18 credits at no additional cost. Students who have not yet registered or need to add an additional course(s) may do so prior to the closing for the holiday break. The schedule adjustment or Add/Drop period begins on January 26 and runs through February 2. For assistance with registration, students may reach the Registrar's Office at 978-232-2065.
Internship Program
Many freshmen and sophomores will be participating in internships during the winter intercession, and the Internship Office would like to remind parents and students of the following information:
Final Exams and Grades
The final exam period for this fall semester is Monday, December 15 through Friday, December 19. Final grades are due within 48 hours of the final exam. For exams being held on the last day of finals, Friday December 19, grades are due by the end of business on Monday December 22. Students may access their final grades by logging in at MyEndicott.
Health and Counseling
The end of the semester can be really stressful for all of us - final projects and exams can lead to an increase in both stress and physical sickness. If your son or daughter needs extra support, please encourage them to reach out for counseling. To set an appointment they can call (978) 232-2106, stop by the office in Callahan Center 120, or go to counseling.endicott.edu (from a computer connected to the Endicott network) to complete a brief online questionnaire. If they are feeling physically run down and getting sick, encourage them to email email@example.com, call (978) 232-2104 or walk into the Health Center in Callahan Center Office 118. We are here to help your student finish up the semester as healthy and successful as possible.

Athletics Updates
Endicott's winter sports programs are off and running while several fall teams have seen some of their student-athletes receive additional postseason accolades. There are only a handful of home games before campus breaks for the holiday season so make sure you catch the Gulls in action before the New Year! The department welcomes all students, alumni, faculty, staff, and supporters of the College to join us at any of our events on campus but you if you can't make it to a game please visit our athletics website (www.ECGulls.com) or follow our Facebook (Endicott College Athletics & Recreation), Twitter (@ECGulls), or Instagram (@ecgulls) feeds to stay up-to-date! Here are a few notes on our teams currently competing:
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT TOY DRIVE – On December 3rd at the men's and women's basketball doubleheader against Gordon, the Endicott Athletic Department conducted its annual toy drive and with nearly every student-athlete, coaches and administrators, families and friends, the Endicott Community, and members of the student body contributing a brand-new, unwrapped toy the department was able to collect nearly 800 toys. These toys were donated to several different organizations around the North Shore with the hopes of making this holiday season even more special for underprivileged children in our region. Thanks to all who participated in this incredibly successful toy drive!
MEN'S BASKETBALL (4-2, 2-1 CCC) – On Saturday, December 13th at 1:00 p.m., Endicott hosts North Shore rival Salem State in their final home game of the first semester. The Gulls have won their last two games, both over conference opponents, including an 88-70 win over previously undefeated Eastern Nazarene on the road. At 80.0 points per game, Endicott is one of the top scoring teams in the CCC while playing some of their best defense in recent seasons, allowing 64.3 points to opposing teams.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL (3-4, 1-2 CCC) – Women's basketball hosts NEWMAC foe MIT on Thursday night for a 7:00 p.m. tip-off in MacDonald Gymnasium looking to end a recent two-game losing skid.

Senior nursing major Kayleen Whall currently averages a double-double at 13.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.
MEN'S ICE HOCKEY (6-5-3, 2-4 NECHA Patriot East) – In their final weekend of competition before the holiday break, the men's ice hockey team hosts Central Connecticut State on Saturday, December 13th at 7:30 p.m. before traveling up to UNH to take on the Wildcats at 4:00 p.m. Freshman business management major Kyle Webb currently leads the team with 12 points on five goals and seven assists.
WOMEN'S ICE HOCKEY (5-2, 2-1 IWCHL North) – Every since their season opening loss the women's ice hockey team has been on a roll, winning five of their last six games and nearly upsetting North Shore rival Salem State, the defending IWCHL champions. Senior forward and interior design major Samantha Parr is the team's leading point-getter with nine on three goals and six assists. The team hosts Saint Anselm (Saturday, 2:00 p.m.) and Boston College (Sunday, 2:00 p.m.) in their final two games before break.
FIELD HOCKEY – Senior forward and international business major Emily Sawchuck was named field hockey's first-ever All-American, earning First Team honors by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association.
FOOTBALL – Senior nursing major and wide receiver Nate Lewis (Second Team) and graduate student defensive end Andrew Holfinger (Third Team) were both named to the D3Football.com All-East Region Team for their efforts this season.
MEN'S and WOMEN'S SOCCER – Both the men's and women's soccer programs were recognized for their academic excellence from the 2013-14 season with National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Team Academic Awards. The women's team has earned the honor in five straight years, the men in two of the last three seasons. Women's soccer also saw senior defender and athletic training major Clare Mansfield (Third Team) as well as junior exercise science forward Paige Marinelli (Fourth Team) be named NSCAA All-New England. Mansfield and senior hospitality management major Katie Donnelly both played in the New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association Senior Bowl along with other top seniors across Division I, II, and III.
WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL – Senior biology & biotechnology major Jessica Petrucci competed in the New England Women's Volleyball Association Senior Classic after recording multiple career-highs this past season.
MEN'S VOLLEYBALL – At the start of the New Year, the men's volleyball team will return to campus early to begin preseason practice before their 2015 campaign begins on January 16th-17th at the Kean Invitational in New Jersey.
On behalf of the entire community we wish you all peace, health, and the belief that we can, if we choose, make our lives and the lives of those around us better, and together make the world a better place.
Happy Holidays,
Richard E. Wylie

text: Depressed by life in Dublin and eager to get away from the big city, young professional Molly (Ruth Bradley) relocates to a quiet commuter town, but grows uneasy by the fact that her neighborhood is all but deserted during the daytime hours. Later, when burglars break into Molly's new house, she quickly breaks down and buys a high-tech alarm system. Unfortunately, not even the comforting presence of Molly's new boyfriend (Aiden Turner) is enough to alleviate her anxiety, which quickly begins to spiral into paranoia as she suspects she has become the target of some rather vicious criminals. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Despite decades of work to stop it, littering is still a pollution problem in the U.S. and around the world.
While litter cleanups are important, the best way to reduce litter is to change the behavior of litterers. This often involves showing litter, and those who create it, as uncool, unclean and just plain gross. Through the years, many public service announcements – some funny, some sad, some terrifying – have been created around that messaging. Here are just five from the U.S. and around the world.
The granddaddy of all anti-littering ads is the famous Crying Indian. The ad was first broadcast on Earth Day in 1971, when environmental awareness was coming to the fore. Though there has been much controversy around the actor (it is believed that Iron Eyes Cody was actually Italian American, not Native American), the ad remains powerful and moving today and has been widely credited with raising awareness and action for the environment.
Up next: It's all about the wildlife.

Great to see an Australian ad in your picks - I'm all for protecting the environment and keepin' it beautiful! All my sea creature friends thrive in a clean ocean-makes me sad for how people pollute it:((.
I'm an optimitic crustacean though and am calling on more young Australians to create ads to inspire people to stop littering. Check out some of the old Aussie ads on my YouTube Channel ( http://www.youtube.com/user/Kevinthecrab) or see my facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/Kevin.the.crab)-would love to hear from you! Kevin the Crab
My parents were still talking about the Iron Eyes Cody ad in the early 80's!
Keeping a green planet is everyone's responsibility. Individuals, family units, corporations large and small... We can't expect our planet to fix garbage and pollution on so many levels.
Michael P. What you have described is "deflection," we are told to keep your eye on the Big Story, American's production of garbage, thus litter.
While you keep your eye on the litter, guess what the corporations have been doing in your name, pollution on a corporate level, usually, in the end, the taxpayer cleans up the mess.
While the true intentions of the founding corporation remain a subject of debate, they would, in the end lose their grip on the message or at least of it...and the People end up being the winner, with cleaner roads, streets, parks, along with a new awareness about corporate greed vs need.
Keep America Beautiful, the group behind the impactful "Crying Indian" ad is documented as an industry front group. They were reportedly established to serve the industry's interests around issues regarding waste management. For example, laws against single-use bottles which impacted these companies.
It's possible to conclude that the products and packing companies behind this organization benefited from these campaigns by redirecting the blame for litter away from the producers of single use items to the consumers who failed to dispose of them. The collosal waste from packaging still exists and its widely accepted as normal--now the waste stream is just better managed. Witness the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to see our waste problem is still very much alive. Question is will the responsiblity to solve this problem still rest with citizens (a.k.a. "consumers"), or can we rightfully saddle corporations with responsibility for the wasteful product designs they are pushing us? We need to see the packaging industry more honestly as spewing pre-consumer garbage and creating more of a problem for the ecology than they solve through convenience.
Noted , thanks !
I, too, remember this add. It was very impactful!
I remember when the Crying Indian ad was first aired in 1971 - I found it a moving ad. Certainly it would have been smarter for the producers to use an ACTUAL NATIVE AMERICAN ACTOR but it's still a good message and effectively delivered.
I really liked this article, the crying indian one is my favorite

Escape Reality: Come to King Richard's Faire
Presented by King Richard's Faire
August 30 - October 19, 2014
King Richard's Faire, New England's largest and longest-running Renaissance Festival, announces its 2014 season, to run August 30 through October 19, 2014 on weekends and Monday holidays (Labor Day, Columbus Day). Tucked away on 80 acres of beautiful, enchanted forest off Rt. 58 in Carver, Mass., King Richard's Faire now begins to prepare for its 34th season offering guests a full day of live, interactive entertainment for all ages, including new liger cubs, daring knights jousting on horseback, and eight stages filled with song and dance, stunts and storytelling. Every Saturday afternoon, the King's Stage offers special themed contests and events to add variety to the festival-like entertainment lineup.

Hey Seattle fans,
We all know we are going through a rough year up here in the Emerald City. Our Mariners lost more than a 100 games, the Sonics are gone, the Huskies went 0-fer, even our beloved Seahawks had a crap year. Despite all the struggles and losses, I as a life long Seattle fan, implore you all to not give up hope. We need to stick by our teams now more than ever. Show the Seahawks next week in their last home game that they are our team and no matter what, we bleed blue and green. Show Coach Holmgren how much we appreciated the last ten years he gave us, and that we love him for the heights he brought our team. Don't let this sports hell discourage you. Seattle sports will rise again. We will be back in the Super Bowl, the Mariners will once again return to greatness, the Huskies will be a college powerhouse again, the NBA will….ah..who am I kidding with that one…but you get my point.

The state of Massachusetts is home to Dunkin Donuts®, Fenway Park ®, more than one hundred colleges and universities — and now me!
On my extended list of things to do prior to moving was to choose a new bank. To start I developed a list of features that were important for my next bank to have.
- Access to branches and ATMs in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and greater New England.
- Free Online Services like Internet Banker and Bill Pay
- No minimum balance and no fees tied to the account
- Use of direct deposit and a check card
With this list in mind, I set off to search the websites of a few banks I had in mind based off of personal recommendations. Surprised to see that free checking wasn't as readily available as the last time I opened an account, I utilized findabetterbank.com and bankrate.com to aid my search. Both sites allowed me to select features of an account and made recommendations from there. These results took my attention to two local Boston-area banks that still offered free checking, but a limited branch and ATM network. No deal.
At this point, I was starting to wonder if an internet bank was the way to go. Most online banks offer no fees and access at any ATM free of charge. I was almost sold, but then realized the fine print stated all transactions were subject to a two-business-day hold. Hmmm, I'm not completely comfortable with the idea of my transactions not posting right away. Moving on…
In the end, I chose a larger regional bank that had offices in Pennsylvania the entire way up to Maine. And tons of ATMs in Boston. My account is fee free as long as I can complete five debit card transactions a month, which I feel I can. Services and features important to me were available and each time I complete several different types of transactions I can earn cash back.
For anyone looking to switch banks I'd recommend prioritizing features that are important to you, seeking a personal recommendation, using a search engine to maybe bring to light some banks you weren't aware of, and in the end go with what is easiest for you.
As I prepared to head off to Boston for grad school, I found a new appreciation for what I've learned about banking. Financial literacy is no joke and is even more important in times of economic uncertainty. Walking into a situation like opening a checking account or taking out a mortgage with some confidence that you'll be able to understand the process and make the best choice is the first step for anyone to be successful with their finances. That's why this blog and initiatives like Teach Children to Save have been some of my favorite projects to work on. Thanks for reading, and I hope you continue to enjoy the posts written by my fellow bloggers. – Katelyn, who promises not to become a Sox fan.

Mali: Islamic Supremacists Silence Musicians
29th November 2012
"'They say sharia forbids it,' says Rakiatou Wallet Tannal, an aunt of the newborn girl, referring to Islamic law. 'That's their sharia, not the sharia of Muslims.'"
Unfortunately, that is not the case.
Hadith Qudsi 19:5: "The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance." (The Hadith Qudsi, or holy Hadith, are those in which Muhammad transmits the words of Allah, although those words are not in the Qur'an.)
Muhammad also said:
(1) "Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance."
(2) "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress."
(3) "Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage."
(4) "This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones." Someone asked, "When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?" and he said, "When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful."
(5) "There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful …." — 'Umdat al-Salik r40.0

26 cases against travel scam accusedComment on this story
Pretoria - There are 26 other cases being investigated against three people arrested for an alleged travel scam and the murder of a Pretoria policeman, the Pretoria North Magistrate's Court heard on Monday.
"Currently there are 26 cases opened by complainants against Zambezi Tours and Safari that are still under investigation," Constable John Ramollo said, testifying as to why the accused should not be granted bail.
"Cases have been opened all over the country against the company in Sinoville."
Renette Wright appeared with Salome Klopper, while Wright's husband Hendrick Jacobus Wright was not present as he was in hospital. The two women were applying for bail.
The three are accused of defrauding Adriaan Petrus Johnson of R26 000. Johnson allegedly paid the money to the Wrights' company, Zambezi Tours, which was selling holiday packages.
Ramollo said the modus operandi of the business was to cancel trips a week before the departure date, with clients never getting their refunds. Klopper was said to be a receptionist and secretary.
They were arrested on July 24 in Sinoville, Pretoria. A police officer, Warrant Officer Ben Strydom, 47, was shot dead during a raid at their house while trying to arrest the husband.
According to police, when Hendrick Wright saw the police, he tried to escape through another door of the house but Strydom caught him. He allegedly drew a firearm and shot the policeman before fleeing.
While travelling on the Moloto Road, he stopped his car and shot and wounded himself.
Ramollo said the accused mostly defrauded pensioners.
He told the court how the Wrights planned to skip the country before they were arrested.
He said passports were discovered in a car when they were arrested.
"Accused one has a passport and she was leaving the country. She has a business in Namibia. If she is granted bail, she could leave and we won't be able to find her," said Ramollo.
Ramollo told the court the two were flight risks and should not be granted bail. He said they did not have fixed addresses and employment.
He added that the address given by Wright was that of the house they were arrested in - a house she was leasing and was allegedly moving out of. The house was empty when police arrested them.
"She had rented he house from Just Letting but she was planning to move out of the house and she did not have a new address. Accused two (Klopper) gave us an address in Bon Accord and the house owner told us that Salome has been renting since January," he said.
Magistrate Pierre Wessels asked Ramollo if he did not consider a person leasing a property to have a fixed address. He explained that Renette Wright was planning on moving out of the property which she was leasing and therefore did not have a fixed address. Ramollo said all three had outstanding warrants of arrest in the Northern Cape.

Ayahuasca Healing Retreats
This is truly a Magical Opportunity!
The Ayahuasca Healing Retreat is an adventure into the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. The power of this ancient place helps to reconnect each person to the whole, to the earth, to nature, to themselves, to god. By venturing deep into the jungle and feeling the tranquility and peace of this vast paradise, one's vibrations begin to harmonize with the flow of nature, slowing the mind down to a level of subtle observation. The rainforest is old and wise, beyond human comprehension, and it contains the answers to questions that humans cannot ascertain by themselves.
A visit with a Peruvian shaman, called a curandero, is an opportunity to discover the answers to many of the personal questions each person has. Through the use of medicinal plant preparations, teas, and by attending ayahuasca ceremonies, retreat participants are freed from the causes of their illness or sorrow and begin to heal their afflictions. With the help of the spirits of the Amazon, the curandero guides each person towards a state of total health, at peace in the body, mind, and spirit.
The Ayahuasca Foundation offers two different ayahuasca retreats led by don Enrique's brother, the curandero don Ronor. The ayahuasca retreats are either two or three weeks long and feature either six or nine ceremonies, depending on the retreat. All of the retreats feature additional treatment beyond the ceremonies, including plant baths, vapor baths, inhalents, purgatives, massage, counseling, meditation, and any internal or topical medical treatment that might be required to heal particular illnesses or afflictions.

As long as ignorant cunts talk this kind of shit:
Why is McDonald's considering and even trialling Halal meat in a Christian country? I find this grossly inconsiderate to the majority of the English people who are Christian and would have issues with eating meat prepared in such a way
…I\'m going to be on the side of the likes of Rowan Williams purely on an \"enemy of my enemy\" basis.
1) halal animals do not suffer any more than conventionally-killed animals. If you cut something\'s throat with a sharp knife, it loses consciousness long before the pain from the throat wound cuts in;
2) if you give even the slightest flying fuck about animal welfare (rather than just about sticking it to the darkies), you won\'t be eating at Maccy D\'s anyway;
3) Jesus stated quite explicitly that Christians are not bound by dietary rules and are allowed to eat meat prepared along the lines of any other creed, Jewish or Roman. While Mohammed wasn\'t about in Jesus\'s day, given that halal is a toned-down version of kosher it seems unlikely that the lovey-dovey beardie chap would\'ve been too grumpy about the whole thing.
If you\'re a vegetarian [*], you\'ve every right to criticise halal. If you only eat super-turbo-happy-meat and have got some in-depth scientific research which confirms that having your throat cut is much much worse than being shot in the head with a bolt gun, then you\'ve some right to criticise halal. If you\'re neither, you\'ve every right to fuck off and die.
[*] perhaps \"if you\'re a vegetarian who doesn\'t drink industrially-produced milk or eat industrially-produced cheese\": a free-range-but-halal-killed animal has a much better life and death than an industrially-farmed dairy cow.

cute but....
There are really cute shoes and would be easy to walk in if they would stay on your feet. There is about a 1 inch hidden platform. I usually wear 7.5-8 but I had to order 8.5. The perforated part is too loose at the top of your foot so you tend to walk right out of them. They are so baggy they look like they're on the wrong feet. No need for a zipper! I tried to put a ribbon thru the perforated part and tried to make them tighter but they are so cheap they rip. I am out $120 + shipping for 2 pair! The royal blue is a great color and matches with the lapis blue cord blazer perfectly, if you like to be matchy. If you have wide feet these shoes may work for you, however the shoe bed is too short, even at an 8.5 for me. No way I could go to a 9. If you can buy a larger size and have wide feet then I might recommend for you. Shame, they are cute!

From FUEL TV:
Overeem's Future, Gustafsson And SilvaDiscuss Fight, Florian Sounds Off On PEDs And A UFC 149 Fight AnnouncementTonight
Show airs Tuesday nights at 10:00 PMET/7:00 PM PT
LOS ANGELES, CA – On this week's "UFC Tonight," Host Todd Harris,Analyst Kenny Florian, and Insider Ariel Helwani discuss Alistair Overeem'sfailed drug scan and who a potential replacement would be for his title fightat UFC 146 with Junior Dos Santos. Plus, we look ahead to the Fight Night onFUEL TV in Sweden this Saturday. Alexander Gustafsson joins the show via Skypeto discuss his main event with Thiago Silva. We also have a UFC 101 with MarkMunoz, a fight announcement on UFC 149 and Kenny Florian tees off on fighterswho cheat in MMA by using performance enhancing drugs.
Quote of the Week: "UFC Tonight" Analyst Kenny Florian on PEDs inMMA: "As a clean fighter, the whole issue of performance enhancing drugsin MMA really pisses me off. This sport is about honor, technique anddiscipline. As a fighter, if you use PEDs, how does it feel good knowing thatyou won using them? Don't do it, dummies!"
"UFC Tonight" Insider Ariel Helwani on Alistair Overeem testingpositive for elevated levels of testosterone: "Overeem tested a 14-1testosterone to epitestosterone ratio level. Nevada has a limit of 6-1. He canrequest they test another sample of his urine. If he wants to fight, he needsto appear on April 24 in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission andexplain why he tested that high to get his license. The UFC is waiting to seewhat happens on April 24 to make a decision about the fight."
Florian on Dan Henderson as a possible replacement for Overeem: "You'vegot to love Dan's enthusiasm to fight for the heavyweight title. But thereality is Dan Henderson is a small 205, and he really should be at 185."
Florian on Mark Hunt as a possible replacement for Overeem: "Hunt is aheavy handed fighter and has a granite chin, but he hasn't beaten the topopponents and doesn't have the resume to fight for it yet."
Florian on Fabricio Werdum as a possible replacement for Overeem:"Fabricio Werdum is almost there. He was phenomenal against Roy Nelson.Maybe he's a fight or two away from it."
Florian on Alexander Gustafsson: "Alexander Gustafsson is a young, talland lanky fighter with a heavy right hand. He's a very dangerous finisher at205."
Alexander Gustafsson on fighting in his home country: "I'm super excited.I'm super motivated. There's no pressure at all. It's a dream come true. I'mjust doing what I love to do."
Gustafsson on if Thiago Silva's long layoff will factor in the fight: "Ihave no idea. I'm prepared for the best Thiago – I hope it's the best Thiago tofight on Saturday."
How Gustafsson has changed since his last loss to Phil Davis: "I'm a wholenew fighter since my loss to Phil. I've been learning a lot from my loss. I dothis full time now. Everything I do is MMA now. I live it, eat it and sleep it.
Gustafsson on Thiago Silva's strengths: "He's a really good grappler andhe's strong from the top. I have my game plan and tactics, and I'm going to domy thing."
Florian on Thiago Silva: "Thiago Silva is a big 205. He's a black belt inBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has some heavy ground and pound. He's definitelylooking to finish Gustafsson and I can't wait for the fight."
Thiago Silva on his upcoming fight with Alexander Gustafsson: "In thisfight, I'm going to fight like a true warrior. Everyone knows my style. When Igo into the cage, I'm going to do or die. I'm going to be ten times moreaggressive than anyone's ever seen me."
Helwani on Alessio Sakara's mindset after not fighting for two years:"It's really good right now. It's been a rough two-year stretch for him.He's lost a person he considered to be his father, who was his trainer, priorto UFC 116. Then he lost to Chris Weidman, and then he tore his ACL. He's beenon the sidelines and hasn't won in two years. But he's back fighting Stann, andhe feels no pressure and loves the match up."
Helwani on first Afghani fighter in the UFC: "Remember the name SiyarBahadurzada. A lot of longtime MMA fans have been waiting to see him fight. Hewas supposed to debut in January, but he broke his hand before the fight. Hetold me that growing up in Afghanistan really shaped who he is. He told me lastweek about a time when he was younger and walking with father and brotherthrough a firefight and they had to step over dead bodies. He's one of thehardest punchers at 170."
Helwani on Dennis Siver's move to Featherweight: "He told me recently thatguys at 155 are getting bigger and stronger, and felt he was at a sizedisadvantage. But he also told me he could move back up after this fight, sodon't close the door at 155 yet."
Florian on Siver's first fight at 145 against Nunes: "He has to make surehis weight cut goes well. Then he has to mix it up and keep Nunes guessing inthe fight."
Kenny on if Brock Lesnar's legacy hurt with move back to wrestling: "Ibelieve he should be in the Hall of Fame because he's a world champion. Everytime he fought, he brought in the biggest Pay Per View audiences."

Also the wedges may not cover areas that have similar density thus tricking you into believing something that's not quite right. If you do a test using the full 60 seconds and it comes out too dark you can half the time (expose for 30 secs) and halve the segment times, etc.

Swing for the Web--Are We Getting Closer?
style="margin-right: 1em; width: 20%; float: left;" />When I first heard
about JavaServer Faces, way back at the 2002 Java One conference, it was sold
as "Swing for the Web". That caught my attention. I was sick of
"assembly programming for the Web" with HTML, JavaScript, HTTP,
cookies, servlets, and that special form of torture—JSP custom actions.
Ever since, I have pinned my hopes on JSF because it has one thing going for
it: a component model. When I need, say, a progress bar, I want to
leave it to someone more skilled than me to make such a thing out of images,
JavaScript, or whatever. I just want to hook it up to some property that has
a progress value and move on to the next task. After all, when I use a
JProgressBar in Swing, I don't worry about the pixels and
animations either.
In that regard, the first release of JSF was a cruel disappointment. The
standard JSF components are very primitive. The most sophisticated one is the
data table, and it pales in comparison with a Swing
JTable. No
progress bars, trees, menus, popups, or any of the other building blocks that
you want for a snazzy application. I don't want "FORTRAN for the
In the last couple of weeks, I had to hack together a simple system to
support classroom discussions. The instructor puts up a question, students
give anonymous answers, and then the class looks at the collective wisdom and
has a (learning insight|good chuckle). Many instructors use
"clickers" for this purpose—special hardware devices with
voting buttons. But I wanted students to send text and images, not just
multiple-choice answers. (Also, they all already have a laptop, but they'd
have to buy the clicker.)
style="margin-right: 1em; float: left;" />At first, I thought, oh no, don't
make me eat
the elephant again, and I longingly looked at href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails, href="http://grails.codehaus.org/">Grails, or href="http://liftweb.net/index.php/Main_Page">Lift for my salvation. But
then I googled for "Rails progress bar", and the results were depressing. I
noted that NetBeans 6 has a perfectly good progress bar in the href="https://woodstock.dev.java.net">Woodstock component set, so I
decided to go with JSF once again. This time, Swing for the Web seemed within
reach. Here is what worked and what didn't.
- The Woodstock
components look pretty nice—much nicer than anything that I could
put together with my limited CSS skills. For example, the alert component
has some shading, some graphics, all that stuff that I am too busy to
work on. Exactly what you want from a component set.
- The progress bar
worked great. I didn't have to know anything about AJAX. That's good
because I really don't want to know any more about AJAX than about href="http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/">ASN.1. For an application
programmer, this should just be plumbing.
- The
for the Woodstock components is totally wretched.
- The NetBeans
form designer is adequate for dragging together a basic UI, but it
insists on the "Creator" model where each JSF page has a
backing bean with bindings for each component. That may make sense for
ASP.NET programmers, but I hated it. Apparently, this will go away in
Netbeans 6.1. I used the form designer for the initial layout, then
converted everything to plain JSF. I also had href="http://www.nabble.com/visual-web-JSF-page--jsp-and-design-out-of-sync-td14750202.html">other
issues that hopefully will get addressed in a future version of the
UI builder.
- Achieving a
common page layout, with a title bar on top and a menu on the left, is
still way too hard. I want the framework and tools to guide me, not fuss
with page fragments.
- I used the XML JSP
syntax and XHTML for the pages, and NetBeans caught all my silly
formatting errors—a big help. (Why don't I follow that good advice
in Core JSF? I tried, but my co-author and the reviewers all felt
nostalgically attached to ye olde syntaxe.)
- NetBeans is pretty
good about keeping the various configuration files in sync, and I didn't
have to fuss much with
- If I had used
Seam, I could have
faces-config.xmlaltogether, but I ran into some href="http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=253975𾀗">GlassFish
problems. Once href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=299">WebBeans is integrated
into NetBeans/GlassFish, I will definitely go that route.
- JPA was a winner.
Having the ORM and caching for free is nice, and JPQL is far less tedious
than SQL. I spent essentially no brain cycles on persistence. Mostly,
that was because my app is so simple that I never felt the need to export
any entities outside the managed environment. Again, Seam/WebBeans would
make this even nicer.
- I still got
the href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/cayhorstmann/archive/2006/09/the_power_and_p.html">Stack
Trace From Hell far more times than I wanted to. NetBeans did a
fairly creditable effort in trying to scrape what little useful file
name/line number data it could find. This still needs lots more work. For
example, errors in session beans are silently swallowed.
- The NetBeans
debugger saved my bacon many times. It is very savvy about tracing from a
JSF bean to a session bean, bypassing the intermediate layers.
- I tried my
best to use hot deployment, and even hot-switched code whenever possible.
But every time that I edited a JSF page or even a CSS file, I had to
redeploy, redeploy, redeploy, and each time, I stared at the console for
what seemed like an eternity. I hated that. My Rails friends tell me that
they can keep tinkering with their code without ever redeploying.
Overall, I felt that I still had to focus far too much on the care and
feeding of the app server. GlassFish programmers—remember that the app
server is not just a tool to run perfectly working applications, it is also a
part of the development environment!!! We need good error messages and
red-hot deployment to be productive.
Swing for the Web is getting closer. Woodstock,
href="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/">Trinidad, all show promise.
But do we really want all of them? After all, there is just one Swing. And if
we must have them all, they should all play nice in a web GUI builder. href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=276">JSR 276 should get us
there—that started in June 2005. How time flies!
Apart from the UI components, we need more architectural guidance for
mediating between the UI and persistence layer. I think JPA with
Seam/WebBeans is our best bet, and NetBeans should support it ASAP.
All these issues are solvable, and I am hopeful they will be solved. I did
enjoy having the Java API for all those other things I needed to do (such as
crypto, zip file management, image manipulation, and so on). In the end, I
was able to hack together a somewhat nontrivial application using NetBeans,
GlassFish, JSF, and JPA, in a couple of weeks, while at the same time
contending with sick infant twins and a broken clothes dryer. Not bad...but
it could have been one week without the Stack Trace From Hell and redeploy,
redeploy, redeploy.

by iceandfire - 2008-03-24 15:10Have you tried javarebel, to get real hot deployment: http://www.zeroturnaround.com/javarebel/ Never tried it, but seems promising.
by mikeazzi - 2008-01-22 13:50However, to me that seems too little too late. It is somewhat behind the competition, has no video/codec support and is highly dependent on a yet-to-be-released distribution improvement of the JRE. Behind in some aspects, yes, particularly the ones that you mentioned. However, I don't think it's too late just yet. The RIA game is just getting started, and Sun can claim advantage in other aspects, particularly the maturity, richness, and developer mind share of the Java platform. That's why I still think if they throw more resources at this effort, especially where they are lacking, they might still be able to catch up.
by mrmorris - 2008-01-22 13:36"I also hope that Sun would see the writing on the wall and divert all of their resources from the JSF effort toward their RIA one."
Some would argue that it's also what they are doing with the JavaFX (Script) stuff. However, to me that seems too little too late. It is somewhat behind the competition, has no video/codec support and is highly dependent on a yet-to-be-released distribution improvement of the JRE.
by mikeazzi - 2008-01-22 13:25Totally agree with what kweinber said. JSF is pretty much a dollar short, and a day late technology, which has been designed with the full page refresh model in mind. A model which has been pretty much obsoleted by the Ajax movement. So all JSF it is trying to do now is change engines mid flight so that it can fit better within this new Ajax model. But we all know that's not gonna work: That's the impedance mismatch that kweinber is talking about. I think you'd better off pursuing a RIA based approach at this time for whatever JSF has originally set out to accomplish. I also hope that Sun would see the writing on the wall and divert all of their resources from the JSF effort toward their RIA one. Take a look at Simon Morris blog on this topic, he has some pretty good insights.
by kweinber - 2008-01-22 12:42
HTTP/HTML pages loaded on demand and Swing are two different things. JSF hasn't ever worked well because what it is trying to achieve simply doesn't make sense.
If you really want Swing, you should use Swing. If you need it delivered via a browser, you should use GWT (which is as close as you are ever going to get).
JSF will always be a waste of time. The impedance mismatch between a request-based model with all state on the server-end and a stateful, local gui is too great to overcome. The illusion falls apart when you want both local-responsiveness and remote state. You need a coherent, persistent event-context for your event-handling to work and the only way to get that is to run a persistent local gui.

There is a Hibernate4GWT but JPA will work "differently". GWT is a compiler that takes Java source code and compiles it to obfuscated JavaScript (its far more complex than that but thats the general principal). So currently (GWT 1.4) only Java 1.4 syntax is supported (e.g. no annotations or generics), you can use the 1.5 version from CVS which has support for annotations and generics but it might not be a good idea to serialize a JPA object into the client tier.
Generally the "right thing(tm)" with GWT is very similar to the same concept in Swing, passing a JPA object from a remote tier to a Swing client would work but has security and merge issues. You would be better off hiding the server JPA behind a facade and GWT has a simple RPC mechanism that supports object serialization (you pass Java objects and they dynamically pass into JavaScript compiled code... its really amazing).
by cayhorstmann - 2008-01-22 11:53@christiaan_se: Thanks for that link. I had a look at the article. I guess I don't want to bring the actual Swing to the Web. I just want a Web programming API that makes me productive, in the same general sense that Swing makes me productive for client-side programming.
by christiaan_se - 2008-01-22 06:27A somewhat related and interesting discussion can be found on: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=40037 It mentions some interisting implementions to bring swing on the web.
by mrmorris - 2008-01-22 05:02A few thoughts that came to me while reading your otherwise excellent blog entry: There is not just one desktop Java UI framework, both SWT and QT Jambi represent a significant improvement getting-it-done wise (and has more controls, good luck finding a date control in the JRE). It strikes me as odd that you want to compare JSF up against Swing. Swing is a nightmare to get things done in, based on the extremely vague and cumbersome JavaBean component model and relying on L&F UIDelegates having been architected to everyones satisfaction. The fact that Apple can hold out on a Java 6 for so long and the only complainers seems to be Java developers, is a pretty big indicator that Swing has been a tremendous underachiever. I attribute this to a missing component model, hence, I'm a proponent of properties and events in Java 7. Last but not least, I am surprised you do not bring up the issue of managing layout for JSF using NetBeans. Unlike i.e. JDeveloper, NetBeans insists on positioning everything by pixels - not exactly scalable across the wide medium the browser is.
by perplex79 - 2008-01-23 06:34Interesting article. On the deployment problems: at least with Facelets, you can replace the XHTML templates of a deployed web application directly in domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-apps/.../yourapp_war. Works like a charm for me (without it, it would be redeployment hell as well).
by kweinber - 2008-01-22 23:41
@cay: I am actually not sold on RIA, it is just that I think that JSF can't ever cleanly adopt the clean component model of Swing. I actually find the action-oriented frameworks the most straightforward for web programming.
Why not JSF? Swing is innately event-driven, which essentially means that guis are fancy state-machines. JSF tries to be a client-side/server-side hybrid state-machine, which has recently tried lately to mix client-side and server-side state with Ajax. . . Overall, the concepts are so complicated, there is no way to keep the state straight and the programming model as simple as Swing.
by cayhorstmann - 2008-01-22 21:32
@kweinber, mikeazzi: I am afraid I am not sold on RIA as much as you are. I just want to write a web app. I can live with the limitations of HTML and the page flashes (as long as it isn't in the progress bar :-)) When I said "Swing for the Web", I merely meant "a programming model that lets me focus on components and events".
@gadominas: Thanks for the link to the Wicket progress bar. Unfortunately, that is only with file upload, which isn't what I needed. I heard good things about Wicket. However, I find it unfortunate that each of these projects independently recreates a web widget set. I'd rather have one or two good ones than a whole bunch of mediocre ones.
by badboy - 2008-01-22 20:59You didn't mention about facelets. It makes JSF html authoring friendly.
by gadominas - 2008-01-22 15:38Great articale, Cay. I saw Echo, GWT and some stuff like that, but no one marked "Wicket". Wicket, a lightweight, component-oriented web application framework in plain Java. Even progressbar component is on hands :) http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/upload/single
by vprise - 2008-01-22 08:38GWT is pretty much as close as you can get to Swing For the web, its remarkably powerful and easy to use... I also enjoyed using Echo2, myself and I noticed quite a few powerful frameworks using similar concepts (I came to prefer GWT recently).
Notice that I'm not dissing JSF/JSP, they have their place but they are not very good for web "applications". JSP is great for web sites (big difference).
A web site can employ AJAX but is essentially a document based system whose purpose is to navigate between pages (JSP/JSF rock there and Swing isn't all that great there). GWT/Echo2 and Swing excel in the more "free form" interactive applications, this seems to be the use case you have here.
BTW GWT works rather well with JSP allowing you to combine the strengths of both.
by cayhorstmann - 2008-01-22 11:48
@mrmorris: Thanks for your interesting comments. Not having a date control in Swing is definitely sad. (Or a font chooser...) Just for the record--the NB6 web form designer defaults to absolute positioning (which is pretty useless), but it is easy to turn it off.
@vprise: Thanks for the heads up on GWT. I'll have to look into it more seriously. Does it play nice with JPA?
