About this Event
Jeff Mattson + Friends
DSO lead guitarist Jeff Mattson has been a leader in NYC's Jamband scene since its inception, starting with the Zen Tricksters and making his name nationally with The Donna Jean Godchaux Band, a short stint with Phil Lesh & Friends, and now Dark Star Orchestra. Never without a guitar in his hands, Mattson has teamed up with current DSO – and former ZT – band mate Rob Barraco to form Mattson/Barraco & Friends, which has recently added bassist Rob Friedman to the fold to form a psychedelic, electric band that jams with the best of them, exploring the classic songbooks that inspired them, including Dylan, The Beatles, and Grateful Dead, not to mention an original tune here or there. If it's a good song, they can find a way to jam on it.
Jeff Mattson (guitar, vocals) is a master of eclectic styles. A founding member of the legendary jam band, The Zen Tricksters, Jeff a guitar wizard whose playing ranges from rock & roll to blues, bluegrass, country, jazz, and folk, with a healthy dose of psychedelia. In addition to his full-time job as lead guitarist in Dark Star Orchestra (he was invited to join 2009 when founding member John Kadlecik left for Furthur), Jeff also plays with longtime compatriot Donna Jean Godchaux in the Donna Jean Godchaux Band with Jeff Mattson. Jeff is also a noted songwriter who contributed songs to DJGB's latest release, Back Around (Heart of Gold Records), and his work is prominently featured on five other albums (Donna Jean & the Tricksters [2008], For Rex: The Black Tie-Dye Ball [2006], Shaking Off the Weirdness [2003], A Love Surreal [1999], The Holy Fool [1996]). He is known for delivering heart-wrenching vocals as well as his ever-present desire to explore new musical terrain with his fellow musicians. Jeff was asked to audition for Phil Lesh & Friends in the fall of 1999 and in October 1999, Jeff and then Zen Trickster keyboard player, Rob Barraco, played three shows with Phil & Friends at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco.
Rob Barraco has played music on both keyboard and guitar since the age of 6 and has been a professional musician all his adult life. For over ten years in the '80s and early '90s he was keyboardist for the hit TV show The Cosby Show and its spin off It's A Different World.
Rob toured with R&B sensation Freddie Jackson in the late '80s before joining The Zen Tricksters. Rob spent eleven years touring and recording with The Tricksters turning out two studio albums and playing live shows across the US and Canada. It was their second album, A Love Surreal, that caught Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh's ear.
Phil summoned Rob and Trickster guitarist Jeff Mattson to play a series of shows in San Francisco and then on to tour the country double billing with Bob Dylan. That band included drummer extraordinaire John Molo, boy wiz Derek Trucks, and the ubiquitous Warren Haynes. The following year one of the great jam bands of all time was formed with Phil, Rob, John, Warren and the guitar giant Jimmy Herring. This band would forever be known as The Q (short for The Phil Lesh Quintet). They went on to tour the country for three years and put out one studio album, There and Back Again.
In 2002 Barraco joined with the original members of the Grateful Dead for the Alpine Valley reunion shows and then toured with them in 2002 and 2003. In 2004 he joined Chris Robinson's New Earth Mud. In 2005, he toured with Dark Star Orchestra after the tragic death of keyboardist Scott Larned, joining the band full-time shorly thereafter.
Rob has one solo CD co-written with Robert Hunter titled When We All Come Home.
Tom Barraco has been playing drums since the age of 5. As the son of Rob Barraco, Tom was exposed to music at an early age. Growing up in Huntington, NY, he recorded and toured with various local rock bands. Tom has also frequently shared the stage with Dark Star Orchestra, and in 2006 he recorded percussion on his father's solo album When We All Come Home. Tom then attended Five Towns College, where he studied drums and percussion under notable jazz and Broadway drummer Azande Cummings. Tom has been drumming in Mattson/Barraco & Friends since the Fall of 2013.

Stanford Cloud Workshop at the Computer History Museum Reveals Hardware and Software Innovations to Power the Future of Cloud Computing
Speakers from Industry and Academia Describe R&D Efforts to Meet the Future Needs of the Data Center and Cloud
The Cloud Workloads session focused on new methods to improve performance and power efficiency in large data centers.
The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) session overviewed the premises and emerging solutions for NFV.
Monique Morrow, CTO Services at Cisco, joined Shaikh, Liu and Professor Kozyrakis in a panel discussion "Data Center Resource Management: Virtual Machines vs. Containers vs. Bare-metal". Morrow led with the perspective that virtualization and software defined networking in both the data center and the cloud are now firmly established, and data center operators, telco carriers, and end users are expecting the hardware and software providers to deliver ever increasing benefits in flexibility, speed and cost. Morrow stated, "We will see an evolving mix in resource management technologies and strategies over the next few years, as data center and cloud operators strive to serve the high expectations of their users for continually more flexible, fast and affordable service."
The student poster session displayed cloud related research by students from Carnegie Mellon University, San Jose State University, Stanford University, and the University of Toronto, representing the collective contributions of 25 students, professors, and industry researchers. Christina Delimitrou of Stanford was awarded the Best Poster Award for her research entitled "Improving Resource-Efficiency in Cloud Computing". Delimitrou studied a large cluster at Twitter managed by Mesos, and designed a new cluster management system that automatically explores the large space of options for an efficient way to pack workloads onto compute nodes. The system was tested by Delimitrou over a range of workload scenarios, including combinations of distributed frameworks and low-latency, stateful services, both on a local cluster and a 200-server EC2 cluster, increasing utilization while providing higher application performance. The Best Poster Award and $500 check were presented to Delimitrou by executives from the Workshop Platinum Sponsors - Monique Morrow, CTO Services at Cisco, and Amer Haider, Vice President, Corporate Development at Cavium (see accompanying photo to press release).
Monique Morrow, CTO Services at Cisco, commented, "This was an excellent event! The caliber of the speakers at the Stanford Cloud Workshop was very impressive. These Workshops are a terrific opportunity to network with leaders in the field and meet with many talented grad and undergrad students from leading universities. I was really pleased to see the strong turnout and the energy of the students from Stanford, as well as from Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon."
Bob Brennan, Senior Vice President at Samsung commented, "An IAP Workshop is a great conference to discuss disruptive technology trends. The Workshop format provides a structured yet informal setting for give-and-take discussion, and it was wonderful to interact with so many academics and talented students. Samsung is delighted participate in IAP Workshops for their R&D value, and our recruiting team enjoyed the enthusiasm of the students in the Career Fair session during lunch."
Mukhtiar Shaikh, Distinguished Engineer at Brocade commented, "The IAP Cloud Workshop at Stanford was extremely worthwhile for me and my Brocade colleagues; offering a forum to network with leading academic and industry stakeholders regarding the future needs of the data center. Our HR and university recruiting teams also made many new contacts at the workshop. We view university collaboration to be a key component for R&D and new product development and look forward to future IAP Workshops."
Dr. Brian O'Krafka, Chief Architect and Fellow at SanDisk commented, "The IAP provides a unique opportunity for a cloud storage solutions provider such as SanDisk to interact with leaders in academia and industry across the entire solution stack from components to software and data center infrastructure. The student poster presentations were truly excellent, and I was delighted the Q&A for my presentation extended well into the break after the session, reflecting the strong interest from students and industry alike in our work on cloud workloads."
Kin-Yip Liu, Sr. Director, Systems Applications Engineering at Cavium, stated, "I am very pleased to participate in activities like these in an area where industry-academia collaborations are essential to push innovation forward. It also was great to see our HR and university relations teams meeting with many students in the Career Fair session during lunch. I greatly look forward to IAP workshops in 2014."
Paul Rad, Vice President Open Cloud Research at Rackspace and Director of Cloud and Big Data at UT San Antonio stated, "At Rackspace, we view our collaborations with academia to be instrumental in driving open source technologies and standards like OpenStack and Open Cloud. The IAP Workshops are truly outstanding venues to interact with fellow researchers and talented students who are developing the next generation of cloud technologies."
Professor Onur Mutlu, IAP Board Advisor, the Strecker Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and the inaugural winner of the IEEE Computer Society TCCA Young Computer Architect Award stated, "This was a terrific workshop, a delight to participate along with so many academic and industry colleagues, and the many students from Stanford, Berkeley and, of course, Carnegie Mellon. I view interactions with our industry colleagues like this as key to informing our research activities, and greatly look forward to hosting an IAP Workshop in 2014."
Dr. Jim Ballingall, Executive Director of the IAP summed up, "According to university program rankings such as U.S. News and World Report, 3 of the top 5 computer science and engineering programs in the world were represented at the Stanford Cloud Workshop. We are pleased with the high level of industry participation, and the breadth and depth of expertise represented. We also want to thank the students from the Stanford Tau Beta Pi and IEEE chapters who assisted the IAP staff with checking in and badging the Workshop pre-registrants, as well as publicizing the event on campus."
IAP membership and attendance at IAP Workshops is free for university professors, staff and students. Industry attendees must be IAP members or invited by the IAP. For further information, see http://www.industry-academia.org/event-stanford-workshop.php

One of series of actions that lead to HP's change of heart on phasing out the worst toxic chemicals from its products.
Which company will be following HP's lead and taking the first step in tackling the growing problem of toxic electronic waste by committing to remove hazardous chemicals from its products?
HP joins big industry names like Sony, Nokia, Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson who are leading the industry by positive example on toxic chemicals. Companies like Acer, Apple, Dell, Fujitsu-Siemens, IBM, Lenovo, Panasonic, Siemens and Toshiba have so far failed to follow the industry leaders.
HP's change of policy didn't happen overnight. Back in 2003 we found that one of their computers contained particularly high amounts of a toxic chemical. Subsequently we confronted HP with the reality of their lack of action at their European headquarters, asked awkward questions when the HP boss visited China and finally turned up at their world headquarters in California with a special message for their staff. Thousands of concerned people wrote to HP about its chemicals policy and technology media covered the "Greenpeace versus HP" showdown in full.
Which company, currently ignoring the issue of toxic electronic waste, wants to be the next focus of our campaign? We'll be laying down that gauntlet to the remaining companies while they are busy showing off their latest offerings at the world's largest electronics fair, CeBIT, in Hanover, Germany.
The electronics industry will be hard at work promoting its ever faster, smaller and smarter gadgets but it cannot continue to ignore the dangerous explosion in electronic scrap (e-waste) containing toxic chemicals and heavy metals that cannot be disposed of or recycled safely. These high-tech gadgets often end up dumped in Asia and taken apart by hand in primitive, highly polluting and very definitely low-tech manner.
By removing the toxic chemicals, companies make it cleaner and easier to recycle their products. Companies that take responsibility for the whole lifecycle of their products from cradle to grave ensure that their products last longer and cause less pollution. Our vision for the industry is one that produces cleaner, longer lasting, more sustainable products that don't contribute to the growing tide of toxic, short lived products currently being dumped in Asia.
Our toxics campaigner, Martin Hojsík will be asking the electronics companies where they stand on these issues at CeBit and he has a suggestion for next years event; "The motto for this years CeBit is 'digital solutions for work and life', we want next years motto to be 'digital solutions without pollution'!"
Without the help of concerned citizens we wouldn't have victories like this. Become a Greenpeace cyberactivist and join a winning team.
Help keep us in action. In order to ensure our independence, we don't accept donations from corporations or governments; we rely entirely on people like you.

Following the publication No. 147 of Afrobarometer prepared by Pauline M. Wambua and Carolyn Logan, the Center for Research and Opinion Polls (CROP) has organized on May 18, 2017, a dissemination of findings on the theme "Togo's judicial system marked by popular distrust, perceptions of corruption". The event took place in the Hibiscus conference room at Agora Senghor. Speakers were Hervé Akinocho, Director of CROP, Ekoutiamé A. Ahlin, Researcher at CROP and Dr. Kodjo A. Kuakuvi, Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Lomé. Participants include on the one hand administrative and institutional authorities, journalists and academics. On the other hand, representatives of international organizations, embassies, civil society organizations, and non-governmental organizations were also present. The data used for the analysis is derived from the six (6) series of Afrobarometer surveys conducted in Togo from October 12-24, 2014.
Findings shows that, despite the efforts of the Togolese government in recent years -efforts that were supported by a number of technical and financial partners, including the European Union Delegation and the UNDP- in terms of improving access to justice, the judicial system remains characterized by a lack of confidence from the citizens. Hence, only 37% of respondents reply that they trust courts "partially" or "very much". In addition, 48% of our respondents believe that most or even all judges and magistrates are corrupt. In Togo the contact rate with courts is low (11%), and those who do believe access to the justice system is difficult due to the long delays (48%), the complexity of the judicial system (44%), the lack of counselling and legal aid (39%), the carelessness of judges (36%), and the high costs (28%).
According to the representative of the CNDH at this dissemination, the results presented reinforce the findings on the ground and have the merit of providing figures enabling civil society to better support its arguments during these advocacy with authorities and donors. The practitioners present, while recognizing the problems raised by the results, put them back in the context of a Togolese judiciary system facing a lack of resources which would explain in large part these difficulties and the slowness in the implementation of key reforms such as legal aid. The exchanges ended with the call of the representatives of the sector to get closer to them so that the reflection can be continued in order to understand the causes of the difficulties of the justice so that that approaches of solutions can be proposed.

I know there's a question of the week, but right now, my brain is divided between two tasks: making revisions to a new novel (my first standalone), and gearing up for the release of Evil in All Its Disguises on March 5th. It's pretty much impossible right now for me to think about anything else. My brain just isn't big enough.
Reviews are starting to come in for Evil, and they're enthusiastic. (Oh, would you like to read them? Click here.) Thanks to my phenomenal Forge publicist, Aisha Cloud, I have my biggest tour ever planned. I get to return to some wonderful stores I love (BookPeople in Austin, Murder by the Book in Houston, the Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, the Tattered Cover in Denver, Ben McNally Books in Toronto, Book Revue on Long Island), and I get to visit a lot of new-to-me booksellers (Mystery One in Milwaukee, Once Upon a Crime in Minneapolis, Book Cellar in Chicago, Mysterious Galaxy Redondo Beach in LA, Book 'Em in Pasadena). New York's wonderful Mysterious Bookshop is once again hosting my launch party (March 5th at 6pm; if you're in NYC, please come!). I'll also be at the Tucson Festival of Books and at Left Coast Crime. Full tour details are on my site. (And, um, if you want to pre-order the book, scroll to the bottom of this page. All of the stores I'm appearing at take pre-orders, and they can hook you up with a signed copy.)
Today's the last day that my debut novel, The Damage Done, will be on sale for $2.99. If you want to start with the first book in the series, grab it now. (Preferably from the iBookstore — they've been incredibly supportive of my work.) My second mystery, The Next One to Fall, came out in paperback earlier this month. I'm a big fan of paperbacks myself, so I hope that will help it reach a wider audience.
This is an incredibly exciting time for me. My acknowledgments in Evil in All Its Disguises are longer than ever, and there's good reason for that. I have a lot of people to thank. Hopefully, I'll see some of you on tour, so I can express my gratitude in person, too.
PS I'm giving away my last ARC of Evil in All Its Disguises on the blog today. Want to enter? All you have to do is comment on this post. (You'll also need a mailing address in the US or Canada.) The draw will be just before midnight Eastern tonight!

Upcoming gig picks : Drill Festival, Les Enfants Terribles and Bleeding Hearts Christmas party
In a rare return to our gig picks posts, here's three gigs that have caught our eye:
Drill Festival is this weekend. There's a fantastic line up featuring LOADS of Brighton bands from big names like The Wedding Present, Blood Red Shoes and British Sea Power alongside upcoming bands like Speak Galactic, Dog in the Snow and Luo. You can read the whole line up on Drill's Facebook page, but rest assured you won't be disappointed.
Things have been a bit quiet from Les Enfants Terribles since their regular venue The Blind Tiger closed down earlier this year. They're back next wednesday with out of towners The Away Days heading the bill, supported by locals and Morning Smoke.
Last, but by no means least is the Bleeding Hearts Christmas party. The Bleeding Hearts Club went into hibernation after their Christmas party two years ago to focus on putting out records (by the likes of Crayola Lectern and Cuz as well as upcoming releases from Clowwns and Seadog), but they're back for a one off event at the Rialto Theatre on Dyke Road next Monday. Expect some great festive music from some of the old familiar faces. You should also be able to pick up a copy the Random Acts of Vinyl Christmas 10″ mentioned in our last blog post too.
Spectrum's October showcase at the Dome Studio Theatre
This gallery contains 15 photos.
Spectrum in association with Resident records are putting on monthly gig's of new Brighton music, following on from the long series of similar events they curated with Source magazine. October's gig at the Dome Studio Theatre featured four bands on … Continue reading
Weekend Gig Picks
Last weekend's gig pick post was all about quality not quantity, and we promised we'd be back this week bigger than ever. We're still not scrimping on quality but we're probably featuring more gigs this week than we ever have done.
We're going to kick things off with a couple of gigs happening tonight. Normally we treat Thursday as the start of the weekend, but when two of favourite bands are playing we'd be fools not to give them a mention. IYES play their first ever headline show at the Prince Albert, which we're very excited about. We've been huge fans since we first heard Lighthouse at the end of the year, and they haven't disappointed since. Best of all it's a free gig! Elsewhere, down at the Blind Tiger, Brighton Music Blog favourites The New Union are supporting Let's Buy Happiness.
Thursday night is where we normally start our weekend gig round up, and the weekend proper is starting strong with Calico headlining Sticky Mike's Frog Bar. Support comes from 900 Spaces and Blackwell, and it's four pounds to get in. Meanwhile, Normanton Street are playing at the Mesmerist.
On Friday some more of our favourite bands are supporting at the same gig. Pawws are supported by the fantastic GAPS and Dog in the Snow (as well as Saint Savanna, who are local and new to us). And it's a free gig – Green Door Store, you do spoil us. There's also a free gig at the Blind Tiger, headlined by Transformer, with support from Eagles for Hands, whose new EP we love.
Saturday night's big gig is the Physics House Party taking place at Sticky Mike's. As well as the awesome Physics House Band, AK/DK, Alphabets Heaven and Suffer Like G Did are also playing. Over at Fitzherberts, Speak Galactic and Soft Arrows are playing at a night called Ruff Stuff, where Owen from Speak Galactic and some of his old bandmates from Cinemascopes are unveiling a new project called Merlin Tonto.
Rounding off the weekend nicely at Sticky Mike's, Esben & The Witch play the Brighton leg of their national tour promoting Wash The Sins Not Only The Face. At the Green door store, there's an event to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Gram Parsons early death in 1973, aged only 26. There's loads of local bands getting involved – the list includes The Self Help Group, Dollboy, and Amy Hill plus various members of Laish, The Repeat Prescriptions, Super U, The Standard Lamps, Woodland Blue, The Pooh Sticks, Lolly & the City of Flies, Redlands Palomino Company, Englemann Spruce, and Lost Dog. Get there early enough and you'll also get to see Pete Wiggs from Saint Etienne DJing before the live acts.
Weekend Gig Picks
It's a bank holiday weekend, so we've got a bumper round of gigs to tell you about this week, extending all the way out to Monday.
On Thursday night Juice FM return to the Haunt for a series of gigs showcasing local bands that they're calling IntroJuice-ing. On the first of these DrDr launch their new EP with support from Dirty Damn Humans and Vaude Villains. It's also the first night of Fragile Creatures residency at The Blind Tiger, and they're joined by Mynie Moe. As well as that, TigerBiteFever launch their Love Is Strange EP at Latest Music Bar.
There's another two launches on Friday night. Speak Galactic and P For Persia launch their split 12" at the Green Door Store, and yourgardenday launch their Flat Stream EP at St Andrews Church.
Late night on saturday at Sticky Mikes, The Repeat Prescriptions play their last show for a while, supported by The Space Agency.
At The Edge of the Sea is a festival curated by The Wedding Present which has been running at the Concorde over the August Bank Holiday Weekend for a good few years now. This year The Wedding Present play George Best on Saturday and The Hit Parade A-sides on Sunday. Support comes from his 90s pop incarnation Cinerama playing the two sides of their debut Va Va Voom across both nights, and a whole host of supports including Brightonians Dog In The Snow, Pete Fij & Terry Bickers and Monster Bobby.
Finally, if you're still standing come Monday night, get down to the Green Door Store where Kill Moon headline, with Puppet Kings, The Hunger Pact and The Downing Street Years also on the bill.
Speak Galactic / P for Persia split single
On Monday 26th August two of Brighton's finest space rock terrorists are putting out a split EP entitled "Aegis Arctic Alp" via Cupboard Music, Beatabet and Fcking The Night.
One of favourite live bands P for Persia take on side A with three tracks – Rainbow Flux, Saint Luanne and Uncanny Valley (see video below). Side B passes the baton to Speak Galactic, who we've raved about on many an occasion, who only contribute two tracks – New Inventions and Magnified Destiny – but the latter does clock in at around 18 minutes long.
Both bands deliver out there soundscapes that complement each other's sound really well – P for Persia's are more guitar based, punctuated with their trademark 8 bit bleeps, Speak Galactic's start off more synth based, but there's definitely saxaphones in there and seeing their live setup who knows what's going into making the noises they do.
The EP is coming out on translucent purple 12″ vinyl, or as t-shirt with a download code. The release party is next Friday at the Green Door Store, where both bands are playing, with support from Cousin.
Weekend Gig Picks
Here's our gig picks for this weekend coming up. We'll keep things short and sweet this week since this isn't the only post we'll be putting up tonight.
Thursday night's pick is Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, who's playing at the Prince Albert, supported by Jennifer Left. Meanwhile, at the Pav Tav Luo and Marvin Molina provide support for Sheffield's Kimmy Yeah.
On Friday night The Resonators headline the Blind Tiger. If dub isn't your thing then Flash Bang Band are playing for free at Northern Lights. There's also a Brighton Rocks night at Sticky Mikes, with The Victorian Hunter, The Evil Son and the Frank Melena Band.
Saturday night sees Milk & Biscuits playing a Glastonbury warm up gig at the West Hill Community Centre alongside Traams and Speak Galactic with lighting from Innerstrings Light Show. Unusually, it's not a BYOB gig and there'll be a bar. Meanwhile all weekend at The Gladstone it's their Gladstonebury festival

You wouldn't use a rake to fix your car engine, nor would you paint your house with a set of bath towels, but yet most women apply makeup with incorrect or nonexistent tools. A good set of the five beauty tools below will make your application more precise and more attractive, with the added bonus that you will use less of your makeup.
A great makeup bag keeps everything clean and away from the rest of the things in a larger bag. It should be easily identifiable (I like prints, like this one), and made from a sustainable material, like this one in organic cotton. Ideally, you'll carry your makeup tools in another small bag away from the makeup itself.
e.l.f.'s eye liner brush will turn any eyeshadow into a liner. Use dry to get a smudgier look, or add a touch of water to get a concise line. And it's made from vegan bristles, recycled ferrules and bamboo handles.
To get your eyelashes looking perfect and clump-free, and to keep eyebrows tidy, it's good to have a combo eyelash/eyebrow brush. Once you start using one of these, you'll never go back.
A hand mirror is worth keeping in your makeup bag; often the mirrors on compacts are covered in powder and pretty unuseful if you need to actually see any detail on your face. These by GRAIN are made in various different patterns in the Pacific Northwest (USA) out of mirrored glass, bamboo, wool felt, and hemp twine. GRAIN supports ethical design and is also a member of 1% For The Planet.

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost." Martha Graham

When I started Bitter Balcony I had two goals in mind:
1. Give John a platform to do his journalism in a proper platform.
2. Start a conversation.
I succeeded on the first goal, but mostly failed on the second point, which I wasn't very happy about. When I review a film I try to make points that are accurate to my personal perspective on the film. I also use my knowledge of filmmaking to point out obvious and some not-so-obvious flaws in the particular film. I have always been open to, and hoped for, differences of opinions to be pointed out for discussion. This happened a few times and those few times were great. However, those few times were few. Despite not starting a conversation there were other unexpected side benefits that I was able to use to my advantage from Bitter Balcony.
Crypticon Seattle. I started out interviewing people like Eric Morgret of Crypticon simply to help support, a then local, convention that I thought was worth supporting. Eventually, I was invited to speak on panels on various topics, all related to film and most times horror films in particular. I had panels with friends and with writers of films like "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child." The panels were very entertaining for both the panelists and the audience as some would lead to heavy audience interaction. The conversations that would sprout during some of these panels was wildly informative and entertaining. I eventually became more involved in helping the convention with their website and film festival judging, amongst other minor roles.
MIFFF. Alongside my being included in Crypticon in various roles I was also invited to be a film judge for MIFFF for a few years until its sad closure a few years back. Judging films for a film festival is a very informative double-edged sword. I saw some utterly fantastic films (example: HENRi) and many more mediocre to fairly bad short films. I'm not bitter about the bad ones though. The bad films are the ones that show you what not to do in your own personal work. I would recommend judging films for a film festival to anyone who wants to make their own films. It's a very educational process and every once in a while you'll be inspired by a film that was submitted which blows your mind. At one point we screened the uncut version of "Srpski Film" which landed people in UK and Australia in jail for screening it publicly. Thankfully, we got away with it.
Filmmaking. Eventually, I was able to use the connections I made through the site to get actively involved in making original film works. It started with "The Shunned House" which won several awards during it's worldwide run in film festivals from LA to Switzerland. I only edited that one and did some sound design, but that eventually grew to my making a number of short films, a web series and a feature film.
Workforce (web series): It started out as a joke amongst co-workers, but I took those jokes and made a web series. The web series was originally planned to run for 6 seasons and a "movie." The "movie" being a 30-minute ending to the series, which would close out the narrative for the three main characters. Unfortunately, friendships can be unstable and slowly I lost the cast and couldn't recast to finish the story, so I shot an ending that only required myself.
"Forms and Shadows" A.K.A. "Monsters." I attended a stage read through of a script titled "Monsters." It involved a few friends of mine, so I volunteered my time to help edit. Eventually, I was hired on as the editor and the director of photography. We shot the film for under $5,000 and now have a full feature film. Despite the years that have gone by we haven't finished it. Making a feature film is hard work. It takes time and dedication, but when you are making a film for under $5K it also takes a lot of free favors. That has bit us in the ass as far as sound, so we linger on until we find a sound engineer and a musician to score the film.
The experience of making a film was super educational, very fun to be a part of and full of a lot of great memories. There were weekends that were 16-ish hour days of work, but despite how tired I left the set that night to get back up at 6AM the next morning for a similarly long day it was worth it. The editing process taught me a lot about writing too. There are things that work on the page that don't work on the screen, so you have to move things around and edit for the screen.
Cinema Sluts. I was invited to be a guest on the "Cinema Sluts" (Cinema Tri-force on iTunes) as, potentially, their bitterest guest. Recording those two episodes was a lot of fun it just, unfortunately, turned out to be covering films I didn't particularly care for. Perhaps that's part of the fun, but at times I would like to share my positive opinion on films that I like. That last point leads us to…
The eventual rebirth of Bitter Balcony as a podcast. Bitter Balcony slowed to a halt, but was revived as a podcast that ran for four episodes, which garnered over-500 listens per episode. I found that astonishing. I never thought the podcast would gain that level of interest in only 4 episodes. Unfortunately, like with most things, hardships entered the frame. Recording a podcast requires a quite place, time and a coordination of schedules to have the conversation that would become the podcast. At the time, John and I were 3,000+ miles apart, so Skype issues and Google Hangout issues would complicate matters leading to a bit of frustration. These frustrations lead to a good episode being hard to hear because of recording issues and long gaps between episodes. We also were fortunate enough to get one of the Cinema Sluts lead podcasters (Matt) to join us for our coverage of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchise. Matt added a little extra something that helped make that particular episode a lot of fun.
Why then is Bitter Balcony essentially dead? I have a few frustrations with film lately. I find it a chore to sit through most movies whenever I attempt to watch a film. I think movies have become so overly formulaic that they are predictable to the point of boredom. With the rise of technological advancements that make movies easier to make, sharper and of much higher quality it seems that better technology does not inherently transfer to better films. The hero movies are the same thing over and over. Major films, in general, have become so safe and without any risk taking in story that makes me feel like I've already seen everything. Sadly, I also feel like I've seen everything done better by films that came before the film I'm paying $15-ish dollars to see.
My own filmmaking died out over time, too. I was making films and music videos for bands like Q5, but I started to find that I was making films for other people and my voice was never really getting out. Don't get me wrong, I loved making those films, but there was a bit of emptiness because script after script that I wrote would just sit on a hard drive. That eventually wore me out and I stopped making films. I haven't abandoned making films by any means, but I am taking a long break from it to start fresh at a later date.
So when watching films is a chore and making them doesn't really stir something up in me I walked away. Film is still my passion. Storytelling is still my passion. There is nothing like watching/writing something that stirs up an emotional reaction. Writing reviews for bland movies that I don't hate or love, what I find the vast majority to be, is a bore. Those reviews are hard to write because those movies have failed to stir up anything except resentment for wasting my time and money.
In conclusion, I've become mostly bored with modern films. This isn't to say that there isn't the random surprise like "Broken Circle Breakdown" or "Eva," but they are few and far between. Since Bitter Balcony was intended to be a feature film review site it died out due to my growing interest in television, which is taking risks and is, at the time of this writing, pushing better narratives than feature films.
In the meantime, don't support bad cinema and maybe watch some more television. Let the blandness of the majority of films kill itself and hopefully it'll come back as something more willing to take risks and not placate to the formula that is known to draw in the greenbacks.
I'd like to send a personal thanks to Eric Morgret for being one of the main factors of getting me involved in so many projects. Thank you, sir. You are a good man and a good friend.
I also thank all of you who have supported us over the years. You humble me by giving us your time and genuinely seeking out our opinions on movies.

An epic journey through Africa by a man who fell in love with a magical and disappearing world and then transformed himself into a warrior on the frontline to protect it.
Staging heart-pounding, espionage-style raids, Ofir Drori and his organization, The Last Great Ape (LAGA), have put countless poachers and traffickers of endangered species behind bars, and they have fought back against a Kafkaesque culture of corruption. Before Ofir arrived in Cameroon, no one had ever even tried. The Last Great Ape follows a young Ofir on fantastical adventures as he crosses remote African lands by camel, on a horse, and in dug-out canoes, while living with exotic tribes and struggling against nature at its rawest: charging elephants and hyenas, flash floods, and the need to eat river algae and snails to stay alive. The story moves from places of extreme beauty to those of the darkest horror: the war zones of Sierra Leone and Liberia. Ofir begins to work as a photojournalist in order to expose his shocking encounter with war victims and child soldiers. His experiences forge in him a resolution to become an activist and to fight for justice. The search for a cause eventually leads him to Cameroon. When Ofir discovers that no one is fighting to disprove Jane Goodall's dark prophesy that apes in the wild will be extinct in twenty years, he decides that he is the man to step in; because he knows he can make a difference, he sees it as his responsibility. And LAGA is born. The Last Great Ape is a story of the fight against extinction and the tragedy of endangered worlds, not just of animals but of people struggling to hold onto their culture. This book reveals the intense beauty and strife that exist side by side in Africa, and Ofir makes the case that activism and dedication to a cause are still relevant in a cynical modern world. This dangerous and dramatic story is one of courage and hope and, most importantly, a search for meaning.
Ofir Drori is an Israeli activist based in Central Africa. A former army officer, educator, journalist, photographer, and adventurer, he has spent the past decades in two dozen different African countries. He founded LAGA in 2003 and leads various efforts against corruption for conservation, democracy, and the rule of law.
David McDannald is an American writer, who lives on a ranch in the West Texas mountains. He splits his time between caring for the cattle herd and traveling in Africa and South America. He has published fiction and nonfiction in various magazines and journals. He and Ofir met in Kenya in 2000 and they became best friends.

Who says the Samsung Galaxy S4 should only come in one size? Samsung unveiled its flagship smartphone just two months ago, but a new smaller-sized Galaxy S4 is on the way. Dubbed the Galaxy S4 Mini, the phone is expected to act as a light version of its larger cousin.
Nearly one year ago Samsung released its Galaxy S3 Mini in the U.K., which featured the same nature-inspired design as the S3 on the outside but lighter mid-range specs on the inside. But this time the Mini is expected to come to the U.S. We'll likely learn more at Samsung's London press event on June 20th. Here's what we expect.
Same Design, Smaller Body
Samsung has yet to confirm that a Galaxy S4 Mini is in the pipeline, but that hasn't stopped a few images from making their way to the Web. The company allegedly posted a photo of the smaller S4 on its official apps webpage before quickly taking it down. Of course, this isn't the only purportedly leaked image. Anonymous Weibo user known as PunkPanda posted a photo of what is believed to be the Galaxy S4 Mini alongside the full-sized Galaxy S4. The alleged smaller smartphone sports the same curved shape as its bigger brother, but with a shorter body and a smaller screen size.

Dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Processor
According to leaked benchmarks that appeared on German website All About Samsung, the Galaxy S4 Mini may run on a Qualcomm dual-core Snapdragon 400 CPU, rather than the S4's more robust 1.9 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor (U.S. only, octa-core Exynos for international). The Mini is also expected to come with Android 4.2 out of the box.

4.3-inch Display
The miniature Galaxy S4 is expected to come with a smaller 4.3-inch touch screen display, marking a .7-inch difference from the full-sized 5-inch Galaxy S4. According to All About Samsung, the S4 Mini will feature a resolution of 960 x 540 (qHD), unlike the Galaxy S4's 1,920 x 1,080 resolution (full HD) touch screen.

8-Megapixel Camera
The Galaxy S4 Mini is expected to come with an 8-megapixel back camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing shooter capable of 1080p video. Many standard flagship smartphones such as Apple's iPhone 5 come with 8-megapixel cameras as well, but the Galaxy S4 is among the few along with LG's Optimus G Pro that boast a 13-megapixel primary camera.

U.S. Availability
Samsung Mobile's Marketing Chief reportedly told Bloomberg Businessweek that the Galaxy S4 Mini will be sold on the United States. When Samsung launched its Galaxy S3 Mini last year, it was only available in select non-U.S. markets such as the United Kingdom. There's no telling when the smaller-sized S4 could hit the market, but Samsung news blog Sam Mobile reports that the phone will launch in either June or July. We're expecting to hear more at Samsung's event in London on June 20.

The trustees of Modern Church are delighted to congratulate our General Secretary, Revd Canon Guy Elsmore, following the announcement today that he is to become the next Archdeacon of Buckingham in the Diocese of Oxford.
Guy, currently the Area Dean of Toxteth and Wavertree and Rector of the St Luke in the City Team in Liverpool, has been General Secretary of Modern Church since July 2013.
After the announcement today Guy said: "Both in ministry in Liverpool and in my work with Modern Church, I have found myself working with others to express a theology that connects with real life and hence to reconnect the church with the 90% who have lost all sense of connection with us. I look forward to bringing that thinking and experience with me as I take up my new role, serving the parishes of Buckingham as archdeacon."

KU News Release
May 25, 2011
Contact: Cody Howard, School of Engineering, 785-864-2936
Jayhawk Motorsports team earns top 10 finishes in two national competitions
LAWRENCE — The Jayhawk Motorsports team finished in the top 10 in two recent national Formula car competitions.
The team earned ninth place in the Formula Hybrid competition and ninth in the Formula SAE Michigan competition.
This year marked the first time KU had designed and built a car for the Formula Hybrid competition, held May 1-4 in Loudon, N.H.
"I think KU's participation in Formula Hybrid opened a lot of opportunities to students to take part in a great project," said Jayhawk Motorsports team leader Abby Rimel, a senior in mechanical engineering. "Competing for the first time was a challenging undertaking, but a number of students really rose to that challenge. Passing the technical inspection and finishing in the top 10 was a great accomplishment this year, and we're optimistic about the prospects for improving in the future."
At the traditional Formula competition in Michigan, held May 11-14 in Brooklyn, Mich., the team finished ninth out of 121 registered teams and fifth among qualifiers from the United States. The team's performance was highlighted by a first-place finish in the autocross portion of the competition — a 60-second race around obstacles with speeds reaching 70 miles per hour. Jayhawk Motorsports finished its autocross run 15 seconds faster than the best time in 2010. The team also finished fourth in presentation and eighth in endurance, which is a longer version of the autocross competition, held on a 13.7-mile course.
The team won two sets of tires for its first-place finish in the autocross portion of the competition and another set tires for its combined score in the autocross and endurance competition.
Focus now shifts to Formula SAE California, set for June 15-18 in Fontana, Calif.
"We are confident that the car is very fast and the team is eagerly looking forward to traveling to California for a chance to place even higher," Rimel said. "We are currently planning vehicle testing and putting efforts toward ways we can improve performance in some of the static events. Hopes are high that the team can potentially do very well."

This project, located in the heart of Albert Park, started as a dilapidated block of flats on a 390sqm plot of land which were then demolished to make way for a single dwelling that is more appropriate for the residential character of the neighbourhood.
Many difficult challenges were faced including compliance with conservative local planning and heritage restrictions, fulfilling the client's extensive brief, whilst pursuing architectural design ideas in order to bring personality and character to the built form.
Internal spaces are zoned and individualised by their rich material use and spatial quality. The central reflection pool and study pod plays with the idea of what's inside and what's outside. Together, with the careful placement of openings, the sounds of the water feature and strong visual connections to lush landscaped outdoor areas, a sense of spaciousness and tranquillity is achieved.
The enormous master bedroom on the first floor is a place of sanctuary with a large his & hers walk-in-robe that leads to a master ensuite. There is also an extensive deck from the master bedroom that looks out to leafy street views of the area.

Frank Lloyd Wright Biltmore Hotel Stained Glass – Leicester
In 2015 we were asked to create a Frank Lloyd Wright style set of double glazed panels based on the historical stained glass window featured in the Biltmore Hotel in Arizona. The image on the right is the original design which is on show at the hotel in the USA.
Our Overlay Stained Glass design was created with every section of the glass being coloured except for the outer border. We used our standard antique lead strip. Most of the coloured sections were plain transparent colours with a few wisp colours to give an abstract effect.

Adobe Delivers Powerful New Graphics Server
Tuesday, September 10, 2002
Press release from the issuing companyAdobe Graphics Server 2.0 Automates the Creation and Reformatting of Images for Network Publishing Workflows SAN JOSE, Calif.--Sept. 9, 2002-- Adobe Systems Incorporated, the leader in network publishing, today announced the newest version of its graphics and imaging server software, Adobe Graphics Server 2.0 (formerly known as Adobe AlterCast). The new software dramatically reduces the time and cost of creating and updating images by automating image production tasks, and integrates easily with asset management and e-commerce applications. Visual communications and branding are essential to successful marketing and sales operations. Images of products and other visuals must be consistent across a range of media, from magazines and billboards to Web sites and wireless devices. With support for network publishing workflows, Adobe Graphics Server 2.0 enables businesses to easily create, update and repurpose high-quality images used in disparate mediums for more effective branding and merchandising. Additionally, businesses can use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive and InDesign software to create new templates that can be automatically updated by Adobe Graphics Server. "In our business, it is vital for the quality of an image to live up to the quality of our product and brand," said Robert Blau, director of E-Business Technology for CHANEL. "With Adobe Graphics Server, our creative team produces a single 'master' image which is reformatted by the Graphics Server to the various sizes and weights we require, while maintaining the same visual quality as the original image. This greatly benefits the production of our brand web site, our syndicated E-commerce site, as well as web advertising. With Adobe Graphics Server, we've reduced the time, effort and cost of producing these images, freeing our team for more complex projects." Tight integration with other Adobe applications and file formats enables businesses with complex workflows, graphically rich Web sites and print materials to set up an efficient process for creating, automating, and delivering high-quality, customized images in multiple formats. The software's new features enable Adobe Graphics Server to be used in both Web and cross-media workflows, while meeting the requirements of asset management and prepress systems. New capabilities include robust support for Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF); conversion of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files to Adobe PDF; enhanced support for image metadata and Adobe Photoshop 7.0 native files and engines; CMYK image manipulation; and clipping path support. Adobe Graphics Server has attracted industry support from leading integrators and partners, including Artesia, Burntsand, Documentum, MediaBin, and Sun Microsystems. With support for open standards and APIs, Adobe Graphics Server runs on major application servers from BEA, IBM, iPlanet, and Oracle. Pricing and Availability Adobe Graphics Server 2.0 will be available for sale direct from Adobe, through Adobe-authorized corporate licensing centers and authorized VARs and System Integrators by the end of 2002. In addition, Adobe Graphics Server 2.0 will be sold with Documentum Media Services and MediaBin Brand Asset Management as part of OEM agreements. The estimated street price in the United States for Adobe Graphics Server is US$7,500 per CPU. An upgrade from AlterCast to Adobe Graphics Server 2.0 is US$2,250 per CPU. More information on licensing and pricing is available at www.adobe.com/products/server/graphics/main.html.

mgm and blockbuster have announced that they will develop a system that will enable consumers to view some mgm films on the internet.
as part of the agreement, blockbuster and mgm will develop a business model for digital streaming and downloading of video on the internet.
joel's opinion
it looks like number 8 on my year 2000 predictions is coming true! i love being right.
anyway, i'm psyched that blockbuster is working with mgm to develop this technology. i'm even more excited that it's a non-exclusive agreement between the two companies.
i was talking with someone about this the other day, actually. my argument was that the technology already exists for you to be able to watch a streaming movie on the 'net and the only limitations are bandwidth and storage space. that said, if two companies with money partner, the problem will be solved pretty quickly.
perhaps the future is not streaming the movies over the 'net but streaming them over a closed connection. in other words, why not have a local access number that i can dial up and then have access to whatever movies i want to see streaming? it seems to me that the movie companies' biggest concern is that the streaming can be compromised. if you have a closed network the compromising opportunities are substantially limited.
it will definitely be interesting to see what comes out of this agreement.
what do you think of watching your favorite movies on the 'net? talk about it in our message parlor.

Whimsical hand painted cat shaped clock with quiet pendulum movement. Oxidos clocks are made primarily from recycled metal scrap and each handcrafted piece is slightly different. The bar the cat rests on is very rustic.
The clock measures about 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" with a lazy back paw creating the pendulum. It is battery operated (battery not included) and arrives in a gift box. What a unique gift for a cat lover!
Oxidos practices the principal of Fair Trade. The name Oxidos comes from the process of oxidation used to create the rusted patina on the metal prior to painting.
The following instructions are included with each clock:
Operation Instructions
- Install a new battery in the quartz movement to activate.
- Turn the knob on the back of the movement, to move the hands to the correct time.
- Never set the clock by moving the Hour Hand on its own. This will damage the mechanism and invalidate the guarantee.
- For wall clock, hang it from the hanger making sure the mechanism itself is vertical so that the pendulum can swing evenly on either side of the hump on the bottom of the mechanism, taking into account that some models are asymmetrical and may need to be slightly tilted to one side or the other to achieve the proper balance. Make sure you use a strong, firmly fixed screw or nail. Tilt it slightly upward to hold the clock tight into the wall.
- The battery should be changed after approximately one year. If the pendulum stops, this is your notice to replace the battery for a new one.
- If a clock hand looses, push it firmly back down the white shaft.
Every care has been taken to manufacture the clock so that it will give you years of enjoyment and satisfaction.

The explosion of Smart Phones and Tablets, Social Media, Cloud based services, Big Data and the Internet-of-Things creates a world in which almost everything exists and moves in a Digital format. The effect hereof is that all 'old and tried' business models have to adapt to this new reality.
Think about the music distribution industry: twenty years ago we had recording studios, vinyl (or CD) record making factories, thousands of shops to sell the records, manufacturers of HiFi equipment. Today artists record their musical creations themselves, upload it in the Cloud and the consumers can listen to the music on the smartphones. Gone are all the participants in the 'old' supply chain for music.
The banking industry is fully busy transforming its business model to fit inside the new digital economy. When will the newspapers follow? And what about all other products and services?
The expert in "Transforming into a Digital Business" knows how to tackle the challenges of transformation. He/she supports the executives of a company (or public service) and is the leader of the transformation program.
All organizations, private and public, will need one or more Expert in Transforming into a Digital Business: It is the job for the future. The training and certification of Experts in Transforming into a Digital Business ensures excellent paid employment.

Ken Franko is a senior member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratory, helping to create the next generation of computational fluid dynamics codes for national defense application. Ken's thesis, Linear and Nonlinear Processes in Hypersonic Boundary Layer Transition to Turbulence, advances the physical understanding of the fundamental processes involved in transition to turbulence of boundary layers on vehicles which travel at speeds greater than 5 times the speed of sound. Understanding the physical processes of boundary layer transition is key to ultimately predicting the heat loads that these vehicles experience. Different aspects of the work have been or will be submitted to the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and Physics of Fluids. In the future, Ken plans to work on the development of computer simulations on exascale platforms.

The house in the heart of the community in Rathsallagh Estate, Shankill, was purchased by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in 1977 and today An Cathaoirleach, Cllr Cormac Devlin, spoke highly about 'the old lady', as she is known colloquially, and praised the voluntary Board of Management who run the house to ensure community crèches, an afterschool, adult education classes and community groups all use the facility for the good of the local community.
The community, young and old came out to greet the President and children lined Rathsallagh Avenue forming a guard of honour. Local TDs, Senators and Councillors also attended.
Speaking at the event An Cathaoirleach, Cllr Cormac Devlin, said, "We are absolutely delighted to have the President here today to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our longest running community centre Shanganagh Park House. Knowing that the President is very passionate about community we are very honoured that he would take the time to come out and meet the residents and volunteers of Shankill and celebrate with us."
One of the first parents who volunteered some forty years ago to open and run the first playschool is now the Manager of the House highlighting that community spirit and active citizenship is alive and well.

With Economy Booming, Utah Educators Draw Up Wish Lists
With a booming state treasury and a rare respite from soaring school enrollments, 1996 could be the year that Utah lawmakers increase classroom spending, raise teacher salaries, or launch new education programs.
Educators in the state with the lowest per-pupil spending in the country are preparing to scramble for the dollars pouring into state coffers. They are optimistic that the state's strong economy may soon provide more for schools than just keeping up with new enrollments.
The state board of education this month asked the legislature for an increase in K-12 spending of about 11 percent, to about $1.9 billion. Lawmakers in the past five years have signed off on increases of around 7 percent each year.
"The economy is good, our [enrollment] growth is down, and we feel like it's an opportunity for the state to invest in education," said Laurie A. Chivers, the state's deputy schools superintendent.
But what educators see as a perfect chance to significantly boost state aid will likely clash with the state's preparations to host the 2002 Winter Olympics and build new roads and bridges--and with the legislature's eagerness to make election-year tax cuts.
The education department's budget wish list flies in the face of Gov. Michael O. Leavitt's call to tighten belts in the state's $2.6 billion budget. He has asked state agencies to cap increases for fiscal 1996 at 2.5 percent, roughly the current rate of inflation.
Gov. Leavitt hopes to expand Utah's transportation and water systems. Utah's projected population-growth rate for the 1990's is the fourth highest in the country. The influx of newcomers to the state has cooled in the past year, but roads around Salt Lake City remain snarled, a worrisome problem with the city slated to host the Winter Olympics in 2002.
The governor, who will release his budget proposal in the next few weeks, also wants to make sure the state is not caught short if proposed cuts in federal programs are passed by the U.S. Congress, said Tim Sheehan, one of the governor's spokesmen.
"We can't bank on money that we've had in the past," Mr. Sheehan said.
Extra Cash
Talk that the state should assume more of the tab for schools focuses on its kitty of surplus funds. Utah closed the books in fiscal 1995 with a $61 million surplus, thanks in large part to business growth in the state.
Total K-12 expenditures average about $3,500 per pupil, the lowest in the country. The state picks up about 56 percent of the cost of precollegiate education. While that share is well above the national average of 46 percent, it has stayed constant in recent years, according to Patrick Galvin, a school-finance expert at the University of Utah.
Steep increases in enrollments during the 1980's and the first part of the 1990's brought the state's K-12 population close to 500,000 and demanded almost every dime of state school funds, according to Ms. Chivers. But the rise in new enrollment this year is estimated at less than 1 percent, giving the state a chance to catch up and pay for things that have been neglected.
Rough and Tumble
The surplus "will go out on the floor, and everybody will fight for it," said Rep. Beverly Ann Evans, the chairwoman of the House education committee. "This will be one of the toughest sessions we've had in my 10 years here."
With such different interests all staking a claim to the state's extra dollars, predictions are for a contentious legislative session.
Some would like to see the new money go back to taxpayers. In Utah, lawmakers passed $140 million in tax relief last year, but some grumbled then that more needed to be done.
With this rough and tumble on the way, the state board's request does not have a prayer, Ms. Evans said. "It's a dream. We're looking at something closer to 5 percent."

Home / Small Mammal / Bunny 16
Bunny 16 is specifically recommended for maintenance of pet rabbits, herd bucks, and dry does. It may also be fed to performance animals in situations where little to no long-form fiber (hay) is being fed.
A consistent formula using only the highest-quality ingredients to prevent sudden changes in the diet and to improve digestive health and function.
The more biologically available forms of zinc, copper, and manganese are added to provide proper levels of the minerals for optimum health and appearance in all rabbits.
Supports the presence of beneficial bacteria and helps stabilize the rabbit's sensitive digestive tract, ultimately promoting good animal health.
Supports a healthy, functional microbial fermentation in the rabbit cecum and colon, promoting fiber digestion.
Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Wheat Middlings, Soybean Hulls, Wheat Flour, Cane Molasses, Soybean Meal, Calcium Carbonate, Salt, Vegetable Oil, Monocalcium Phosphate, Yeast Extract, Yeast Culture, Dried Enterococcus Faecium Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Aspergillus Niger Fermentation Extract, Dried Bacillus Subtilis Fermentation Extract, Dried Bacillus Licheniformis Fermentation Product, Dried Bacillus Subtilis Fermentation Product, Brewers Dried Yeast, Rice Hulls, Copper Sulfate, Zinc Amino Acid Complex, Vitamin E Supplement, Manganese Amino Acid Complex, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, DL-Methionine, Choline Chloride, Copper Amino Acid Complex, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Ferrous Sulfate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Sodium Selenite, Calcium d-Pantothenate, Papaya, Riboflavin Supplement, Biotin, Vitamin A Supplement, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Calcium Iodate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Cobalt Carbonate.
Bunny 16 may be fed to all rabbit categories, but we specifically recommend it for pets, herd bucks, and dry does. Technically a complete feed, we still recommend some long form fiber (hay) be offered. Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
Management and genetics will affect the use of this product without additional roughage sources. Although this product can be used without hay, feeding a supplemental roughage will reduce the incidence of digestive disorders.
The suggested feeding program above is intended solely as a guide. The variables of management, environment, and breed may dictate changes in the animal's dietary requirements.
Store in a cool dry place. This product may spoil if stored under adverse conditions. Do not feed this product if believed to be unfit for animal consumption.
