For a number of years, the proliferation of storage start-ups has been a positive (albeit relatively small) contributor to the economy. Now, some, if not many, fall by the wayside (creative destruction, anyone?), but those that succeed more than make up the difference. (If you haven't heard that before, you have not been paying attention to the U.S. presidential race.) AppAssure is one of the successful companies. Founded in 2006, the company has grown from a few founders to 230 employees, boasts 6,000 customers, service providers, and partners world-wide, and points to 194% growth in revenue year-over-year for 2011. (And that is on top of even more explosive growth the two preceding years, so the base was not that small.) All in all, this is remarkable.
So why has AppAssure been so successful in a data protection market that is traditionally dominated by a number of well-known products from IT vendors large and small? Well, traditional products were originally designed around data-protection requirements for physical servers, not for the virtual servers or the cloud infrastructures that are evolving rapidly today. AppAssure may have been prescient, the company may have benefited from serendipity or, more likely, it may have been a combination of the two. In any event, AppAssure appeared in the market at the right time with the appropriate architecture to effectively deal with physical, virtual and cloud data protection infrastructures.
Replay4, AppAssure's product software, can perform three critical data-protection functions--backup/restore, archiving and disaster recovery--in a mix of physical, virtual and cloud environments. Replay4 eliminates the need to run traditional backup jobs through a continuous backup protection process. On the flip side, this means that a virtual or physical machine can quickly (within seconds as a recovery time objective and 5 minutes as a recovery point objective) resume running from a backup, while at the same time verifying and guaranteeing reliability of the recovery process. That recovery can be done on a cross-platform basis to dissimilar hardware (which is very good, as IT doesn't have to worry about exact matching, especially in a virtual world). The data can be restored at a very granular level from blocks to files to objects, which is very important in that partial restores, such as a single e-mail, are much more common than full restores.
All that means is that AppAssure is a very sophisticated user of snapshot and replication technology, though it also employs data deduplication and compression technologies to generate significant space savings. Now, whether other vendors can do the same is not relevant because the combination of these capabilities has proven to be very attractive to AppAssure's sizable customer base.
Few, if any, IT vendors can provide everything that the information infrastructure demands, but every key vendor wants to make sure that it has a strong storage and storage management story. Dell has obviously made invigorating its storage portfolio a major strategic focus for several years, and the acquisition of AppAssure is a reaffirmation of that strategy. Data protection is an important part of any storage portfolio, and Dell should find it valuable to have a data protection solution like AppAssure that plays in the ever-growing virtual and cloud worlds, in addition to the more traditional physical data centers.
Moreover, as part of Dell's strategic focus on software, AppAssure will help emphasize the increased importance of data protection beyond just traditional DAS and SAN storage. After all, Dell sells into more than 80% of the world's 25 largest cloud and Web 2.0 companies (including Google and Yahoo), has been the largest seller of VMware licenses for years, and has a dedicated Hyper Scale computing group focused on developing/selling highly virtualized cluster and cloud solutions. AppAssure fits in nicely with those efforts.

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code S24.11
Complete lesion of thoracic spinal cord
Diagnosis Code S24.11
Short Description: Complete lesion of thoracic spinal cord
Long Description: Complete lesion of thoracic spinal cord
This is the 2019 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code S24.11
Not Valid for Submission
The code S24.11 is a "header" and not valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
Code Classification
Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T98)
Injuries to the thorax (S20-S29)
- Injury of nerves and spinal cord at thorax level (S24)
- Injuries to the thorax (S20-S29)
Information for Patients
Spinal Cord Injuries
Your spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs down the middle of your back. It carries signals back and forth between your body and your brain. A spinal cord injury disrupts the signals. Spinal cord injuries usually begin with a blow that fractures or dislocates your vertebrae, the bone disks that make up your spine. Most injuries don't cut through your spinal cord. Instead, they cause damage when pieces of vertebrae tear into cord tissue or press down on the nerve parts that carry signals.
Spinal cord injuries can be complete or incomplete. With a complete spinal cord injury, the cord can't send signals below the level of the injury. As a result, you are paralyzed below the injury. With an incomplete injury, you have some movement and sensation below the injury.
A spinal cord injury is a medical emergency. Immediate treatment can reduce long-term effects. Treatments may include medicines, braces or traction to stabilize the spine, and surgery. Later treatment usually includes medicines and rehabilitation therapy. Mobility aids and assistive devices may help you to get around and do some daily tasks.

McNeil-PPC Issues Voluntary Consumer Recall Of Listerine Agent Cool Blue
McNEIL-PPC Inc. announced a voluntary nationwide consumer recall of all lots of the GLACIER MINT and BUBBLE BLAST flavors of LISTERINE AGENT COOL BLUE Plaque-Detecting Rinse after the Company determined that the preservative system is not adequate against certain microorganisms.
The Company has been in full communication with the FDA regarding this issue and the decision to implement a voluntary recall. The Company is recalling all bottles of AGENT COOL BLUE Plaque-Detecting Rinse, an estimated 4 million, from both retailers and consumers.
The Company conducted a thorough assessment and concluded that the risk of illness in healthy individuals following use of this product is very low. However, there could be a significant health risk to individuals with weakened or suppressed immune systems. To date, there have been no consumer adverse health events reported that are related to this issue.
The recall affects all existing bottles of AGENT COOL BLUE Plaque-Detecting Rinse. Consumers should discontinue using and properly discard the product, and may obtain a full refund through calling the Company's toll free consumer line 1-888-222-0249 and mailing in the back label, including the UPC code. Additional information can be found at the product website http://www.agentcoolblue.com.
Introduced in 2006, AGENT COOL BLUE Plaque-Detecting Rinse tints plaque blue for better brushing. Consumers can readily distinguish this product by the cartoon character on the front of the bottle. Only AGENT COOL BLUE Plaque-Detecting Rinse products are affected by this action. No other LISTERINE branded products are affected and they remain safe and effective for use as directed.
"We have voluntarily initiated this recall of AGENT COOL BLUE Plaque-Detecting Rinse because our primary concern is that consumers have complete confidence in the safety and effectiveness of our products," said Paul Sturman, President, Consumer Healthcare North America, McNEIL-PPC, Inc. "This voluntary action is in keeping with our longstanding policy of providing timely and effective consumer information about all our products."
AGENT COOL BLUE Plaque-Detecting Rinse has been sold to consumers through supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchants and other retail outlets, and is sold to dental professionals' offices nationwide. The Company is contacting dental professionals and retailers directly as part of their recall notification process.

Over the last few weeks, HTC has been rolling out Android 4.1 to several of its handsets. The update started trickling out to the international HTC One X a few weeks ago and managed to land stateside on the HTC EVO 4G LTE late last week. Now, we're getting reports that the Jelly Bean update for the HTC One XL has been released in Taiwan and Singapore.
The 3.17.707.1 update for the HTC One XL weighs in at 658 MB and includes Android 4.1.1 with HTC Sense 4+. New features found in the Android 4.1 update include Google Now, Project Butter, offline speech-to-text and advanced notifications. Sense 4+ is accompanied by a handful of UI tweaks, an updated camera app with Sight Seeing mode (allows you to launch the camera app by pressing the power button) and a new gallery app which sort images by events, time and also maps them out by location.
If you have not already received the OTA update notification, you can try to manually ping HTC's update servers by going to Settings > About > Software updates > Check now. As with the Android 4.1 update for the HTC One X, we expect this update will eventually work its way to other countries around the globe.
The Android 4.1 rollout for the HTC One XL is good news for those who own the AT&T branded HTC One X since both devices share the same internal hardware. We're hoping AT&T and HTC will be able to wrap up testing within the next few days and deliver the update before the New Year.

Wow, what a year it's been! During the past year, I have dedicated all my time and energy to helping Bella Luna Toys grow into my vision for it.
Last February, this blog was created. By May, I began work on building a whole new website for Bella Luna Toys that I'd hoped would feel as warm and welcoming as a Waldorf kindergarten classroom. I spent most of my summer in front of the computer adding new products, uploading photos, and writing and re-writing product descriptions. Finally, in mid-October the new site was launched after more than a year of planning and dreaming.
I barely had time to catch my breath before the holiday orders started pouring in—so briskly that I had to recruit the help of four angels and elves to help me get all the children's presents wrapped and sent off in time!
Now, in these final days before Christmas, things are starting to slow down enough that I was able to enjoy some lovely time with family this weekend (eldest son Harper is home from college for Christmas!) and to help "trim the hearth and set the table."
I am filled with gratitude for all the words of support and appreciation that I received from so many of you along the way; to my husband Max for his love, encouragement, and good cooking; to Harper, Liz and Heather for their help in getting so many beautiful toys off to their new homes; and especially to Laurie Heriz-Smith for becoming my right-hand angel this season.
Wishing you and your families every blessing at Christmas time, a holiday filled with love and joy, and a new year full of play!

Petraeus testifies: Libyan raid was terrorist attack
Associated Press
Testifying out of sight, ex-CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress on Friday that classified intelligence showed the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack, but the administration withheld the suspected role of al-Qaida affiliates to avoid tipping them off.
The recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not to alert them that U.S. intelligence was on their trail, according to lawmakers who attended Petraeus' private briefings.
He also said it initially was unclear whether the militants had infiltrated a demonstration to cover their attack.
The retired four-star general addressed the House and Senate intelligence committees in back-to-back, closed-door hearings as questions persist over what the Obama administration knew in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and why its public description did not match intelligence agencies' assessments.
After the hearings, lawmakers who questioned Petraeus said he testified that the CIA's draft talking points in response to the assault on the diplomatic post in Benghazi that killed four Americans referred to it as a terrorist attack. Petraeus said that reference was removed from the final version, although he wasn't sure which federal agency deleted it.
Adding to the explanation, a senior U.S. official familiar with the drafting of the points said later that a reason the references to al-Qaida were deleted was that the information came from classified sources and the links were, and still are, tenuous. The administration also did not want to prejudice a criminal investigation in its early stages, that official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the process publicly.
Democrats said Petraeus made it clear the change was not done for political reasons during President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
"The general was adamant there was no politicization of the process, no White House interference or political agenda," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. "He completely debunked that idea."
But Republicans remain critical of the administration's handling of the case. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Petraeus' testimony showed that "clearly, the security measures were inadequate despite an overwhelming and growing amount of information that showed the area in Benghazi was dangerous, particularly on the night of Sept. 11."
In fact, Petraeus told lawmakers that protesters literally walked in and set fire to the facility, according to a congressional official who attended the briefing. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens died from smoke inhalation. Petraeus said security at the CIA annex was much better, but the attackers had armaments to get in.
Separately on Friday, the Democratic leader in the Senate rejected a request from John McCain and two other senators for a Watergate-style congressional committee to investigate the Benghazi attack.

POW/MIA Remembrance will be the theme for Monday's Memorial Day ceremony in Hood River.
Conducting the "Table for One" ritual will be a highlight of the annual observance.
"This is the first time most people will have ever seen this ceremony," said Dennis Leonard of American Legion. "Table for One" is a long-standing tradition at Legion gatherings, where a symbolic place setting is laid at the dinner table to commemorate those lost in action.
"We'll do it a little differently, and (separately) put every item on the table, while Huskey narrates," Leonard said. The slow placement of those everyday items will serve as a ritual and time of contemplation.
"It's a very simple, dignified ceremony to remember the ones who did not make it home," Leonard said.
The event starts at 11 a.m. at Idlewilde Cemetery on the Heights. It involves armed services organizations and their auxiliaries community groups, businesses, and students. The community is welcome to attend.
The ceremony will include presentation of wreaths and reading of 19 new names on the Bud Collins Walk of Honor, where a total of 109 plaques pay tribute to local men and women who served the U.S. in the military.
The ceremony will also feature a reading of 18 newly added names to the Japanese-American monument, which was installed last Memorial Day.
Sexton Bob Huskey will also announce plans for phase 3 of the Walk of Honor, a large stone engraved with the name of every veteran from Hood River County.
Huskey said the ceremony will also pay honor to World War II soldier Mike Kight, who was lain to rest in White Salmon on May 18. Kight's remains were found this spring in The Netherlands, where he had died during the pivotal Operation Market Garden in 1944.

Child, 12, hit by vehicle in Burlington
Child, 12, hit by vehicle in Burlington
City police said a 12-year-old was hit by a vehicle Tuesday morning.
It occurred in the 1500 block of Morningside Drive.
In a news release, police said a 35-year-old driver "was passing two stationary vehicles when a 12-year-old child came from between the two vehicles into the path of Kiensier's vehicle."
The mother of the child had stopped her SUV so the child could exit and wait for the school bus, police said.
The child was taken by his mother to Alamance Regional Medical Center for treatment of injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Burlington police at 336-229-3503.

Overqualified and underpaid amid surplus of high-skilled workers
Michele Sommer led the human resources department at a major U.S. company for 12 of her 20+ years there before losing her job in a restructuring. She then consulted for a year before landing an interim role at a small nonprofit in southwestern Connecticut where she took a 40 percent pay cut.
Sommer, 50, is job hunting now because the non-profit job she started in November is only intended to last 12-18 months. Her advice is "to keep positive, keep at it and keep networking." The Fairfield County resident got job leads from LinkedIn, where she is active in HR groups.
Southwestern Connecticut has a huge surplus of high-skilled workers, with one of the nation's biggest underemployment gaps. Underemployment is defined as when a person works full time at a job not using his or her skills, or when a person wants to work full time but can only secure part-time work. Underemployment is weighing on Fairfield County's recovery and forcing a structural change to the job market, where highly-educated workers displace the less educated for lower-paying jobs.
"In Connecticut, we still have not recovered the jobs following the financial tsunami," said Fred Carstensen, director of the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis in Storrs. He said the underemployed spend more cautiously "and that will flow through to the economy with less demand for restaurants and other discretionary spending."
Broadest measure
The Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates U-6 as the broadest jobless measure including short-term discouraged workers who stopped job hunting, other marginally attached workers and those working part-time for lack of full-time jobs. Connecticut's annualized average U-6 stood at 13.9 percent in 2013, down from a recession peak of 15.7 percent in 2010. Of Connecticut's 1.3 million employed civilian workers who usually work full time, 18,600 worked 34 hours or less due to economic reasons, according to the Current Population Survey for 2013.
There are 175 Connecticut employers currently participating on and off in a Shared Work program, where if an employer cuts at least four workers' hours 20-40 percent for economic reasons, the workers can collect unemployment benefits, said Judi Luther, a Labor Department operations coordinator in Wethersfield. The program started in 1992 and Connecticut is seeking to expand the allowance if an employer has to cut at least two workers' hours 10-60 percent. Luther said there is a U.S. initiative for more states to participate in programs like these.
Chmura Economics & Analytics, based in Richmond, Va., ranked 366 U.S. metropolitan areas for the largest degree of underemployment and Fairfield County came in fourth, topped only by Barnstable Town, Mass., the Washington, D.C. , area and Greater San Francisco. As of 2013's last quarter, the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk area had an 11.3 percentage point difference between labor force supply vs. demand for those with at least a bachelor's degree.
`A lot of competition'
"That means (Fairfield County) should be an attractive place for expanding companies requiring a highly educated workforce. Those firms typically pay well. On the other hand, it says there's a lot of competition for those high-paying jobs if you have a lot of people who are underemployed," said Christine Chmura, president and chief economist of her eponymous firm.
Local employer Stew Leonard's has seen more resumes from professionals. Norwalk recruiting manager Christine Arnette said Stew's tries to keep turnover low with a mix of high school students, new college graduates, moms returning to work and professionals who took buyouts or were laid off. She said Stew's in Norwalk attracted 2,100 applications for its 115 openings in 2013, and the Danbury store drew 1,800 applications for 85 openings. As for the hiring process, "the important thing is someone with a good attitude."
The job search is challenging for recent college graduates and tougher for young people without college degrees. A Federal Reserve Bank of New York study found that while young college graduates take time to transition into jobs using their educations, the underemployment rate for college graduates aged 22 to 27 has risen since the 2001 recession from 34 percent to about 44 percent in 2012.
"There has been a change in the composition of the job market. Studies have shown college graduates are being hired into jobs where you don't need a degree, displacing those without a college degree," Carstensen said. The BLS projected entry-level jobs requiring a master's degree from 2012-2022 will grow 18.4 percent
Networking groups galore
Darien Professionals Networking Group, formed in the mid-1990s to help the underemployed and job hunters, ironically might disband because so many networking groups have emerged since the Great Recession.
Board member Ian Kennedy said, "You as the job seeker have to decide from an economic standpoint whether to take a part-time role, or one lower in compensation, level or title. But the element of the job search doesn't change. You still need a coherent resume, a good elevator pitch and to interview well."
Kennedy, who is also president of Schegg Group, a Shelton-based career management consulting group, said any job hunt is tough, even for those willing to take a lesser role because openings are now widely publicized and attract many applicants. He said hiring managers worry that an overqualified worker might get bored and resume job hunting.
Job hunters said they worry that the stigma of being labeled as underemployed might hurt their job hunting and salary negotiations when the labor market rebounds.
With the recent news that Fairfield County is home to 14 of Connecticut's 15 billionaires, economist Carstensen didn't see the Forbes list as aiding the economy. "High-income people don't create the same demand for goods and services. High-income folks have the propensity to invest and save. You're also not going to eat twice as many meals during the week just because you're a billionaire."

We all had a good shudder when John Travolta and Olivia-Newton John put out a Christmas album. Now we can have a good, collective cry as we watch the first video from their album. The twangy, cloying, altogether unnerving single "I Think You Might Like It" has been turned into a three-minute Christmas cringe-fest complete with odd facial hair, terrible plastic surgery, and Kelly Preston's kids.
If you loved Grease, you'll hate this. In fact, everyone probably hates this. There's no one in their right mind who watches this video and thinks, "Wow, John Travolta seems so straight! And man, I love those hip-breaking dance moves!" You just gotta see what I'm talking about.

A Boulder mother says she's concerned that a Boulder Valley School District abstinence presenter is sending girls the wrong message, equating sexual activity with being dirty.
Laura Binegar said she became concerned after her daughter detailed a recent presentation on abstinence given in her health education class at Southern Hills Middle School. Her daughter described an activity where students spit food into water glasses, then were asked if they would rather drink from a clean glass or a dirty one.
"I trusted the school," Binegar said. "They're telling teenage girls that they're dirty and bad. It sounds like it was just awful. I don't understand what the message was."
The presenter, Brad Seng, said the student appears to have misconstrued the talk.
"One of the first things I say is that it's not that sex is bad or is a dirty activity to be engaging in," he said. "That's not it at all. It's about encouraging young people to make healthy lifestyle decisions. Our method is grounded in truth and non-judgmental."
He said he provides information on sexually transmitted diseases from the Centers for Disease Control, as well as information on "the emotional strife when children choose to be sexually active."
The water glass activity, he said, is a way to engage students. He said students drink the water while eating a snack and mixing some of their snack in the water. Then they exchange glasses. He asks them to drink the water, prompting students to say, "No, it looks nasty."
"It's a way to show them that, if they decide to be sexually active outside of a long-term committed relationship, they're putting themselves at risk," he said.
Seng is the abstinence educator for Boulder's Real Choices Pregnancy Care Center. The center describes itself as "a Christian, nonprofit, non-political organization that helps clients find constructive alternatives to abortion."
Seng said he's spoken to classes at Southern Hills for five years. There haven't been any other complaints about his presentations, according to the school principal and the school district.
Along with presenting in Boulder Valley schools, Seng also has talked at the University of Colorado, Colorado State University and private, religious schools.
Altogether, there are 33 approved organizations on the district's health education presenter list. Teachers choose presenters to augment the curriculum, which takes a comprehensive approach to sex education that includes information about abstinence and contraception. Presenters do not charge a fee.
Binegar said inviting a speaker from a Christian organization violates the separation of church and state.
"It's very clear that he's pushing Christ," she said.
But Seng said he understands the boundaries and doesn't bring religion into his talks at public schools.
Binegar took her concerns to Southern Hills Principal Terry Gillach, saying she was told that Seng is a "great guy" and the school would continue to use him as a speaker.
Gillach said he only saw a small part of the presentation but, based on the teacher's description, it was "completely innocuous."
"He never talks about religion," Gillach said. "He talks about abstinence with kids. It's one method of the many other options students have."
The mother of an eighth-grader at Lyons Middle/Senior High School also recently complained about a similar abstinence presentation. The mother said that presenters affiliated with a faith-based nonprofit, Longmont's Life Choices, are teaching a slanted view of reproductive health in her son's health class.

Viddyoze was recently overhauled to give you the most bang for your buck...
...and make every part of your experience truly world class, including:
Out with the old, in with the new. Our latest animation engine allows for more speed, more renders...and much higher quality animations. Consider this your V12 engine to endless creation.
Say goodbye to wasting time — you can now preview your render before starting the process, ensuring it's exactly up to your expectations, and way beyond.
She's a beauty, she really is. We completely overhauled the UI, designed for a seamless and integrated user experience unlike any other. Sometimes our users just sit there... and stare.
We added even more templates, with now over 170 templates and 20+ bonus ones waiting for you on the other side.
Whether you want to make your own business look like it belongs in the Fortune 500, or you want to sell animations to clients for the best hourly rate you've ever earned...
Now, you can make it happen.
By 2019 80% of the worlds internet traffic will be video (…that's almost 4 out of every 5 buyers coming to you through video).
Using videos on your landing pages increases conversions by 80%
64% of consumers say they're more likely to buy a product after watching a video about it
But here's the thing: everyone else knows video is the future of marketing as well.
And that means the competition is HUGE.
Video alone won't give you an advantage. It's time you got an upgrade.
There's over 400 hours of video uploaded to YouTube EVERY MINUTE. These days, just having a video won't make you stand out.
Scary, right?
Sorry, we're not done yet, now it's time for some tough love…
It doesn't matter how good your content is.
It doesn't matter how clever your sales video is.
If you're not putting out jaw-dropping videos, with pro-quality effects, then you're dead in the water when it comes to video-marketing.
There's no contest.
The video with animations blows the other so far out of the water it's going to land somewhere in China.
And let's be clear:
THAT's precisely the effect you need your videos to have. Because when you're packing production like that, your videos do what you NEED them to do…
Grab attention
Keep attention
Convert attention into action
Let's be fair – a LOT of people will pay that.
But do you really want to?
Of course not. And you don't want to lay down a thousand-plus dollars on After Effects either, not to mention the ridiculous learning curve.
Sure, you can do that if you really want to...
Now you can create your own studio-quality intros, social actions, transitions, outros and more in just a few clicks... without any previous design experience, without waiting weeks on your contractor... and without wasting money on the same marketplace designs as everyone else is using.
Amazing, right?
And that's just a small taste of what you can do with live action animations.
It's basically unfair to your competition.
I mean unless you're going up against Universal Studios your competition is going to take one look at these stunning live animations…
(And once they've picked up their jaw off the floor)
They're going straight home to tell their wife and kids they're done. It's all over. They've quit.
Because this isn't something you can do with AfterEffects.
This isn't something you can do with ANY other video animation platform.
Before this, "LIVE" wasn't something you could just do from a computer.
You needed models. You needed actors. You needed a film crew.
If you wanted one, you had to go to a custom agency, who would charge you THOUSANDS for a minute of footage.
We hired the models. We hired the actors. We hired the film crew.
And we produced 100 incredible templates that blend stunning live-action footage with Viddyoze's cutting-edge cloud rendering technology.
So now you can produce results like this in just a few clicks:
It doesn't matter how many years of animation experience they've got.
If they're Disney, you're Pixar. The only way they can get what you've got is to pay you a fortune for it.
Until then, you'll be delivering live action stings that they simply can't match.
And you can do it in minutes, even if you've never made a video before in your life.
Get outstanding studio quality animations and next gen live action animations for any video in just 3 clicks
Make high-class pro-videos to sell more products and services
Raise your prices and establish yourself as a real professional

And you've seen how they're forced to cough up $80 for a single animation of Viddyoze quality...
And That Creates A HUGELY PROFITABLE OPPORTUNTIY For You.
Just sign up to freelance services, or offer animations locally… and leverage the huge, desperate and growing need for video.

Or you could go the other way.
Because your animations are produced in a matter of moments, instead of days, you could easily charge as little a $50 per animation and make a quick killing...
…just make sure you reinforce your door first, because clients will be trying to knock it down to get at you.
And at $50/animation you could make back 10x what it costs to acquire the Viddyoze commercial licence in less than a day.
…and even the highly lucrative commercial licence letting you sell animations to clients for a huge mark-up… you can get it all for just $97!
But we can't guarantee this price will be around for ever.
If you come back tomorrow and see the price marked up 100% don't blame us. That's just bad timing.
Right now however, the timing could not be better.
Right now, while everyone else is slaving over AfterEffects or paying $80 every time they need a logo sting, you can be firing up Viddyoze and creating something truly beautiful.
Maybe you'll even be the guy everyone else is giving $80 to.
And the best bit is…
You can test out Viddyoze with no financial risk at all.
Try out Viddyoze today while the opportunity to lock in unlimited access for a fraction of the public price is still available.
Test Viddyoze out for 30 days. If you're not 100% satisfied, for any reason, simply send one email to our friendly support team and we'll refund you 100% of your investment here today without hesitation. That's a promise.
If you want to create videos that will leave your audience awestruck, and compel them to act, then there is no better time to start than right now.
Don't let this opportunity slip the net… then suffer a pang of regret every time some other video out performs yours and steals all your traffic.
Instead, choose the option that suits you best below.
Lock in the lowest price you can.
And start making the best videos your friends and colleagues have ever seen.

WOW! I am really blown away with this.... Very impressive software indeed. Very fun and easy to use! I made 3 videos in about 10 minutes... I'm speechless... Thank you for making this software a reality. Rock Solid!
Tony Thunberg
I received access to Viddyoze just a few minutes ago, with no previous training or setup I rendered 2 clips and downloaded within 5 minutes. This is the most exceptionally easy to use software I have found to date… It's really 'Friggin' Awesome, this will be my favorite 'Cash Generating' software for a very long time.
Tlynn Griffith - Video Monkey Productions

All in all a high quality product easy to use, saving the savvy business owner time & money, over & over again.
James Ford
Can I start with saying thank you to Viddyoze Team. This software is super simple to use,and the layout easy to navigate.
I was shocked as with no knowledge in this field, I'm creating new videos in less time than it takes to boil a kettle or send the email to the outsourcer! This is a must have for anyone that creates or intends to make videos online.
The time saving alone is just insane, something that would take hours takes 2 mins. This is so easy to use my 12 year old is using it without asking for help. If you like the simplicity of "Select, Customize, Confirm", I would without question say buy this right now.
Ian Wicks
I have a new client for whom I'll be doing a bunch of instructional videos for a big product launch, and Viddyoze is going to give them an extra bit of sizzle. The logo reveals and intros/outros are my faves, and they'll give my videos a professional, polished look that will have the client thinking that I'm some kind of video production savant sitting in a studio full of expensive editing equipment!
Kristen Berdard
Just wanted to give you props on the new Viddyoze software. I love the simplicity and speed of it. Last night I created 2 different logo reveals in under 5 minutes TOTAL! This is exactly what a busy video marketer needs to create quick intro/outro animations.
Steve Walther
With Viddyoze you can create different types of 3D animations that can be added to your videos. You can create video intro, outro, transitions, logo stingers and social animations.
Although it sounds complicated or time consuming to create it is in fact very easy and fast. It only takes literally three steps to create 3D animations with Viddyoze. And because it's a Software as a Service application there's nothing to install in your computer. Just Log into your Viddyoze account, choose the type of animation you want to create and off you go. In three steps and three minutes you can have a rendered 3D animation.
I wanted to run a simple test and see how quickly I could create an intro, and outro and put it together with a video clip using Camtasia. It took me around five minutes to create and render both intro and outro clips!
James Moux
Once I was inside of Viddyoze, I saw many possibilities. As an entrepreneur, this software can be one of the best investments for your business. It's affordable & easy to use. 2 Minutes and your video has a pro status!
Lemy Yusento
The Viddyoze team have solved the problem of quickly, easily and affordably creating intros, outros and logo stingers that grab viewers by the eyeballs. They set out to create a low cost, simple to use, automated solution and in my opinion they knocked it out of the park.
And, they have done it with a cloud based app that does the job better, faster and with more flexibility than anything on the market today. Even better, it doesn't create simple text animations. It creates 3D animations that look better and hold attention better than anything I have in my video creation arsenal.
In addition to creating original animated videos for clients I offer lower cost marketing videos created with industry specific templates that I customize with business intros and outros. Of course, the challenge has been quickly and easily creating those intros and outros with the animation software I use... or outsourcing them to save time. Both have their challenges and limitations.
Viddyoze solves the problem for me in a big way. I love the variety of templates and the ability to change colors and control the way the final work looks. Viddyoze instantly became a go-to app for me and I can see me using it for all kinds of projects.
Harold Brown
At last, video marketing made easier and very newbie friendly too.
I was lucky to have the opportunity to test Viddyoze. Here's my honest opinion. It's extremely simple to use and takes just 5 minutes to learn how you can quickly create 'killer' video intros, stringers, outros and lots more from a wide range of professionally designed and eye catching templates.
If you produce videos for Internet Marketers or like me, for local businesses this is a tool you can profit from. Will I be buying it when launched? "DEFINITELY."
Martin Lloyd
This is the missing link for professional video-creation. It's the easiest way to produce professional looking modern video elements that boost and polish your videos. This online-software looks very clean and tidy - 4 easy steps and you are ready to enjoy your creations! Me and my clients are absolutely amazed. Now video-production gets much quicker and looks very high-quality for everybody.
Ivan Galileo
No. We offer a template club subscription, but this offer on this page is access to the Viddyoze core offer, featuring 170 high quality animations.

I personally believe the web is one of the most important inventions in the history of mankind. It's right up there with the printing press and radio/TV, but just one notch below things like fire and agriculture. It's only a few decades old, but has already had a huge effect on the world and mankind that inhabits it. Not all the web has brought is positive, but then, is there something out there that has done so?
Few people know, but the reason the web has been as successful as it has been is because CERN released its foundations into the public domain. The twenty year old document in which they announced this is, therefore, one of the most important documents in computing.
- W 3 basic ("line mode") client
- W 3 basic server
- W 3 library of common code.
CERN's intention is to further compatibility, common practices and standards in networking and computer supported collaboration. This does not constitute a precedent to be applied to any other CERN copyright software.
CERN relinquishes all intellectual property to this code, both source and binary form and permission is granted for anyone to use, duplicate, modify and redistribute it.
No patents, no copyright, no royalties, nothing. CERN's James Gillies is clear: "Without it you would have had web-like things but they would have belonged to Microsoft or Apple or Vodafone or whoever else. You would not have a single open standard for everyone." He's right.
Without CERN removing all artificially constructed legal barriers, we wouldn't be where we are today. Commercial entities like Microsoft and Apple want to lock you into their products - had they designed the web, you'd have to pay through the nose for patents, they would have actively blocked and killed competitors trying to use their version of the web, and they would have made a dreary place with little to no innovation.
This week, the document turned twenty. A document which, perhaps more than any other, proves that while closed technologies can change markets, open technologies can change the world.

Hinostroza leads Americans past Canada West to win World Junior A ChallengeNHL.com @NHLdotcom
YARMOUTH, N.S. - Vince Hinostroza scored twice and added two assists as the United States scored four unanswered goals on Sunday to beat Canada West 6-3 and win the World Junior A Challenge for the fourth time in five years.
J.T. Stenglein had a pair of goals for the Americans, while Austin Cangelosi and Alex Kile also scored.
Seb Lloyd, Evan Richardson and Brandon Morley all scored in the second period for Canada.
"This was a complete team victory," said Brett Larson, head coach of the U.S. junior select team. "We got goals from our big scorers, everyone blocked shots and our goaltender (Eamon McAdam) made key saves."
The Americans took a 1-0 lead on Stenglein's first of two goals on the night. Sheldon Dries made a no-look, backhand pass from the left corner to the top of the left circle, where Stenglein ripped a shot into the net.
Hinostroza cut across the low slot and capitalized on the power play to make it 2-0 at the 16:32 mark of the first period.
Canada West responded with three straight goals over the first 10 minutes of the second period to take its only lead of the game.
Lloyd scored for the Canadians 59 seconds into the middle period, then assisted on Richardson's goal less than four minutes later.
Morley scored 9:31 into the period for Canada's first and only lead of the game.
Cangelosi tied the game 3-3 as he sped into the Canadian zone, took a pass from Hinostroza and flipped a backhand shot into the net at 12:31.
Less than three minutes later, the U.S. regained the lead, 4-3, when Stenglein banged in a perfect cross-crease feed from Luke Johnson.
Early in the third period, the U.S. maintained its narrow lead by killing off two minutes of five-on-three power play time for Canada West.
"I thought the turning point of the game was killing the five-on-three in the third period," said Larson. "We stayed composed and disciplined and stuck to our plan to play as a team and it paid off. I'm extremely proud of this group."
The Americans established a two-goal cushion 9:05 into the final period on a Kile tap in. Hinostroza drew the defence's attention to the left side before slipping the puck to Kile at the right post.
Hinostroza completed the scoring with 2:54 to play on a breakaway in which he was tripped by a defenceman, got back on his feet and deked the goalie to his forehand.
McAdam turned aside 26 shots for the Americans, while Jonah Imoo made 23 saves for Canada West.

Skip to comments.VIDEO: AP REPORTER LIQUIDATES OBAMA OFFICIAL
Posted on 11/19/2012 1:04:01 PM PST by JesseWatters
click here to read article
Victoria Nuland always looks like she is about to burst into tears.
She also talks to everyone like she is a first grade teacher trying to get everyone to color within the lines.
Yes, she does exactly talk like a first grade teacher!
It sure took a long, long time for her to finally say that rhetorical attacks against Israel were not helpful".
But she just couldn't—just couldn't—come right out and declare that Israel was not engaged in 'terrorism' (or that such attacks were lies...)
I would give a lot to see one reporter with balls jump in Obama's sh*t like this.
Matt was being an ahole!
Ask the question then let her answer. I hate the Chris Mathews method of questioning!
If we can take anything good out of this, it's that at least they acknowledge that Israel has the right to self defense. All the rest of it is wishy-washy crap.
Finally. A real reporter. Where did he come from?
Did he just wake up?
Interesting - the video is now removed. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
That reporter is a bully, a woman hater, and most likely a racist. AP should fire him immediately! I'm going to start a petition on the White House website right now.
Just damn! "This video has been removed by the user".
HA!....they just took the vid down
This is common among Dem feminist "leaders"
Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Susan Rice, Janet Reno, Nancy Pelosi...
It's great to see someone like this AP guy show up their condescending attitudes. Wish it would happan more.
here is the vid:
LEE: You're not telling us anything about... when the Turks come out, when the leaders of Turkey come out and say that Israel is engaged in acts of terrorism and you refuse to say that you don't agree with that... maybe you do agree with that, thats being silent.
NULAND: Matt, we have made a decision that we need to engage in our diplomatic work diplomatically, we have been very clear on where we stand on this. Which is that we don't practice diplomacy from the podium. We have been very clear that Israel has the right of self-defense. Very clear that rockets continue to be fired and land on Israel. We've been very clear that we are working to get this conflict de-escalated. We have been very clear about our concern for the civilians and innocents on both sides who are getting caught in this...
LEE: And yet you won't stick up for your ally Israel when the Turks, another one of your allies, say that they are engaged in terrorism in Gaza.
NULAND: We have been extremely clear about our concern for Israel security and the fact that Israel has the right to self-defense but I am not going to go further than that.
LEE: Why can't you say that you don't agree with the Turks?
NULAND: Because I am not going to get into a public spitting match with allies on either side. We're just not going to do that, okay?
LEE: You think thats worse, a public spitting match between one of your allies is worse than hundreds of people dying every day.
NULAND: I don't understand the question here. There is not a question here, you're just looking for a fight, lets go, say it say it.
LEE: No no no, the fight is already, whats going on over there. And you guys by refusing saying anything about what you're going trying to do by refusing to say whether you agree or disagree with comments that are being made by your allies or others that makes things worse, not better.
NULAND: We of course agree that rhetorical attacks against Israel are not helpful at this moment. Is that what you are looking for Matt?
LEE: Yes
NULAND: Thank you
Problem is, this administration's weasels never answer.
She finally answered the question...but only because he pushed her to do so.
"This video has been removed by the user."
Probably because it showed the Obama Administration in a bad light.
Is anybody surprised this Administration's Department of State doesn't believe in practicing Statesmanship? They don't even possess oratory skills to express their meanings????

10 Cookies for Your Holiday Cookie Exchange
The holiday cookie exchange is, in our humble opinion, one of the brighter ideas to ever come along for the holidays.

If you're headed to a cookie exchange, or just want some fresh inspiration for your cookie plate this year, here are ten terrific recipes. Five are classic — chocolate-dipped macaroons, soft snickerdoodles. Then we switch it up with five fresh picks, like a graham cracker and chocolate chunk cookie, and millionaire's shortbread. Something for everyone, just as it should be, at the cookie exchange.
- 1 Peanut Butter & Espresso Truffle Blossoms
- 2 Gingerbread Cookies
- 3 Coconut Snowballs
- 4 Coconut Macaroons Dipped in Chocolate

(CNN) -- European football clubs are bucking the trend of the worldwide recession, with England's Premier League leading the way after posting $3.4 billion in revenues for the 2007-08 season.
Premier League clubs spent more on wages last season than in any year since its inception in 1992.
The Premier League extended its financial superiority over its nearest rivals in Germany and Spain to more than $1.4 billion, according to Deloitte's Annual Review of Football Finance.
This result from its 20 clubs came despite the British pound's 15 percent devaluation against the Euro currency, Deloitte said.
Italy's Serie A was the fastest growing league, increasing its total revenue by 34 percent to $1.99 billion -- with the return of Turin giants Juventus to the top flight contributing two-thirds of that upturn.
The total European football market grew by $1.4 billion to $20.76 billion, fueled by a $995 million increase in the 'big five' leagues plus the staging of the Euro 2008 finals in Austria and Switzerland.
Deloitte's Dan Jones, one of the authors of the report, said he expected English clubs to continue being profitable despite the uncertain economic climate, but perhaps not at the same "remarkable" rate.
"Between 1992 and 2008, revenues for the top 20 clubs grew at a compound annual rate of 16 percent, compared with 5.4 percent for the UK economy as a whole," he said.
"Revenue increased by 26 percent in 2007/08 and Premier League clubs generated $1.3 million more revenue than their nearest rivals from the other 'big 5' leagues.
"It will, of course, be hard to maintain this pace in the immediate future. The new economic realities may lead to flat match-day revenues. While attendances continue to hold up well, many clubs have frozen or reduced ticket prices.
"However, the stepped increases in the current domestic broadcast deal and the new UEFA Champions League TV deal make it likely overall revenues will edge up."
Deloitte said most of the increased broadcast revenue had been spent on player wages and transfers.
Wage costs in the Premier League soared by $372 million, or 23 per cent, in 2007/08 to reach $1.96 billion -- which represented its largest annual increase since its inception in 1992.
Chelsea were the biggest spenders on $282 million, ahead of champions Manchester United ($198 million), Arsenal ($165 million) Liverpool ($148 million) and Newcastle ($123 million) -- whose relegation at the end of the 2008/09 season could have dire financial implications for the club.
Meanwhile, Premier League clubs' spending on player transfers in both the summer 2008 and January 2009 transfer windows reached new record levels with an estimated $1.1 billion paid out.
Deloitte's Alan Switzer commented: "Despite this increase in wage costs, Premier League clubs improved their wages/revenue ratio to 62 percent and generated record operating profits in 2007/08 of £185 million ($303 million).
"However lower revenue growth in forthcoming seasons means clubs will have to focus on improving cost control -- both wages and other operating costs -- if profits are to be maintained."
Deloitte said while the Premier League's total debt had risen, two-thirds of this was taken up by the top four clubs -- Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United -- and around $2 billion of it was non-interest bearing "soft loans".
"On the positive side of the balance sheet, these four clubs also had £1 billion ($1.64 billion) of assets in respect of investment in stadia and other facilities and a further £450m ($738m) from investment in players," said Deloitte's Paul Rawnsley.

Surname Saturday: Nathaniel Charles Gordon is not Charles' Father
My proven 2nd great grandfather is Charles Gordon:
Birth: Oct 1801 in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, United States
Death: 22 Mar 1873 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio, United States
Charles married Jane Fickle:
Birth: 6 Dec 1803 in Monogalia, Virginia, United States
Death: 3 Jun 1865 in Worthington, Franklin, Ohio, United States
At some point in my research, Charles was linked as the son of:
Nathaniel Charles Gordon
Birth 1755 in Virginia, USA
Death September 12 1809 in Wilkes County, Georgia, USA
Nancy Gordon
Birth 1759 in Spotsylvania, Spotsylvania, Virginia, United States
Death 7 Oct 1835 in Jones County, Georgia, USA
Two things finally jumped out at me as to the fact that this might not be a correct relationship and I should investigate further. The first was that Charles was born in Pennsylvania. Now, it's possible that Nathaniel and Nancy could have been in Pennsylvania in 1801, but as they moved further south (to Georgia), I think that's not likely.
The second thing was that Nancy would have been 42 years-old when she gave birth to Charles. Although it's entirely possible to have babies that late in a woman's life, when the birth year is 1801, it's a red flag to me to investigate.
So, I decided to look through my source information. I had source information for Charles' marriage to Jane Fickle. No parents are listed. I noticed that the remaining sources were census records back to 1850 and the cemetery record which listed no parents other than "Gordon". So, I personally had no information saying who Charles' parents were. And, I have no idea how I incorporated Nathaniel Charles and his family into my tree. Note to self, don't do this again.
So then I decided to work 'backwards' if you will. I decided to investigate Nathaniel Charles Gordon's source information. I checked Ancestry.com first to see what citations people used for him. I found several references to Nathaniel being a Revolutionary War soldier. That's cool.
Then I discovered a story about Nathaniel. Now I don't mean to be rude, but it was hard to read. Someone copied an email into the story field and didn't adjust any paragraph spaces or line breaks. Just thought I'd remind others to add spaces for easier reading. In any case, in this story there was information about the children of Nathaniel Charles. I did not find 'my' Charles among them. At the end of the page was a link to further information.
On David S Payne's Genealogy page at RootsWeb, he indentifies the children of Nathaniel Charles and Nancy Gordon. He provides some source information. He also lists when and where the children were born. The family was in North Carolina by 1794. Could they have gone to Pennsylvania in 1801? It's possible. But not probable. Additionally, I kept finding no documented (or attempted document) that links Charles Gordon (1801, Pennsylvania) to Nathaniel Charles.
|Now that I'm sure I have the wrong relative linked in Roots Magic, It's time to take them out.
I think I'm safe to say that my 2nd great grandfather is not the son of Nathaniel Charles and Nancy Gordon. So, it's back to the drawing board. And that's okay. Now to amend my records.

Will controversy 'dog' our Wildlife Photographer of the Year opening?
With only one day to go before Wildlife Photographer of the Year opens in our downstais exhibition space, we have seen stories in the media - both here and in the UK - about the winning photograph and questions about its authenticity. Versions of the story are in the Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph.
Our colleagues at the Natural History Museum in London (who run the competition) are following this one up, and we'll post updates on the story throughout the run of the show here.
If you get the chance to come in and see the collection, do drop a comment in here and let us know what you think of that photo - and of this year's collection as a whole.
I have to say that I do still love the photo, but it has lost a bit of its magic once you realise it was staged. There's nothing like seeing an image that captures that rare micro-second moment...

Thanks for that. In fact, I tried your route a couple of times ... and it nearly damn killed me! (On an old hybrid and pretty unfit, mind you.) I should give it another go. In the meantime, I discovered the bike path between Kissing Pt Road and M2, so now I'm riding from Thornleigh to Waitara Station, then following the back roads next to railway down to Turramurra, where I flick across Pacific Hwy on to Kissing Pt Road. About 40 minutes going to work and around 55 minutes coming home, 33km for the return trip. A few steep hills, but that's the only way middle-aged blokes like me will ever get fit!
Hi Simon, that is a reasonable route to use. I use that on occasion to get back Hornsby Heights. If it rains heavily, you might have to find an alternate route because the bike path that continues from Kissing pt rd can get flooded. I only had to deal with 5cm of water once, but I recommend getting off the bike to cross affected area.

A move down the California coast hasn't changed a thing for Fredrik Jacobson.
One week after his best finish in more than a year, Jacobson birdied the two toughest holes at Riviera on his way to a 6-under 65 on Friday and a share of the lead with Sang-Moon Bae going into the weekend at the Northern Trust Open.
The Swede did just about everything well, from his tee shots to his iron play, just what it takes to get around the classic design of Riviera. And it helps to get a little luck, such as a 55-foot birdie putt from just off the green at No. 9 that bumped along until disappearing for an unlikely birdie.
Bae played in the morning and began with four straight birdies, all of them from tap-in range until holing a 25-foot putt on the 13th. He wound up making birdies on half of his holes in his round of 65.
They were at 9-under 133, one shot clear of John Merrick (66) and John Rollins (65).
Still very much in the picture was Luke Donald, who chipped in twice for birdie and worked his short-game magic around the course for a 66. Playing for the first time in two months, Donald didn't look as if he had much rust. He was two shots behind.
Lee Westwood birdied the last hole for a 68 to join the group at 6-under 136 that includes a pair of major champions, Charl Schwartzel (67) and Webb Simpson (66).
Phil Mickelson was lurking, despite a sloppy double bogey on the 10th hole. Mickelson still managed a 67 and was five shots back.
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Colombia's Mariajo Uribe shot a 6-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead over 15-year-old amateur star Lydia Ko and South Korea's Jiyai Shin after the second round of the LPGA Tour's season-opening Women's Australian Open.
Uribe had a 15-under 131 total at Royal Canberra. Two-time British Open-winner Shin had a 67, and Ko followed her opening 63 with a 69.
Ko won the New Zealand Women's Open on Sunday for her third victory in a professional tournament. Last year, the South Korean-born New Zealander won the New South Wales Open to become the youngest player to win a pro tour event and the Canadian Open to become the youngest LPGA Tour winner. She also won the U.S. Women's Amateur last summer.
Michelle Wie, playing alongside Ko and top-ranked Yani Tseng, missed the cut with rounds of 74 and 73. Tseng was 7 under after a 71.
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - Bernhard Langer holed a 9-iron shot from 141 yards for an eagle on the par-4 10th and finished with a 10-under 62 on Friday to take a three-stroke in the Champions Tour's rainy ACE Group Classic.
Langer had three birdies on the front nine on TwinEagles' Talon Course, then played the back nine in 7-under 29 with the eagle and five birdies - including four in a row on Nos. 13-16.
The 55-year-old German star, a 16-time winner on the 50-and-over tour, won the event in 2011 at The Quarry.
Bob Tway was second after a 65, and Tom Pernice Jr., Jay Don Blake and John Huston shot 66.
EAST LONDON, South Africa (AP) - Brazil's Adilson Da Silva opened a three-stroke lead in the Africa Open, completing a 10-under 62 in the wind-delayed first round and shooting a 68 in the second.
The 41-year-old Da Silva had a 14-under 130 total on the East London course in the event sanctioned by the European and South Africans tours. South Africa's Jaco Van Zyl was second after a 67.

As Nick Caldwell already pointed out, you get funny looking overlapping corners in Safari on Mac when using RGBA borders. I've been playing around with it for some time and found that you can tweak the intensity of the alpha channel up or down on two sides that are parallel. (top and bottom or right and left) Example Code:
border: 10px solid rgba(220,220,220,.05); border-bottom: 10px solid rgba(220,220,220,.06); border-top: 10px solid rgba(220,220,220,.06);
This renders a better effect for thicker borders and needs to be tweaked a little for certain colors but overall I find it works well.

Ashes and Snow at The Nomadic Museum
Pier 13, Hudson River Park and 13 St.
Until June 6
Photos by Gregory Colbert
New age Noah transforms a bestiary
Ashes and Snow on Pier 54
By Wickham Boyle
Gregory Colbert, the peripatetic photographer who set up his 45,000 square foot Nomadic Museum on pier 54 on the brackish Hudson River, is for all the world a modern day Noah. His one-man show called Ashes and Snow features over 200 sepia toned, inspirational photographs of exotic animals melding with human partners. In this time of Tsunami, mudslides, melting arctic glaciers and the Senates recent vote to drill for oil in the pristine Alaskan wilderness, we need a new age Noah to collect, protect and deify our dwindling natural masterpieces.
Colbert is a controversial figure in the haute art world; he is an outsider who has chosen to mount his own work by raising all the money to build his own museum that offers him complete control over, well, everything. The fund raising is done through a non- profit entity called the Bianimale Foundation that supports environmental initiatives in Africa and Colberts work. The Nomadic Museum, as you can surmise, will travel all over the world with this exhibiton. Designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban to break down and move, it is comprised of only recycled materials. Shipping containers woven into walls, recycled Indonesian tea bags draped into a diaphanous ceiling, dense cardboard tubes as trusses, sun bleached planking for floors and crushed rivers stone combine to construct a temple honoring the infinite variety of nature. The art world may not like Colbert because he has chosen to do this outside of their purview.
This is an exhibition mounted, like Christos Gates, with no public funds, and with no major museum endorsement. It is the culmination of a thirteen-year hegira, what Colbert calls, Birdpathing. That is following migratory routes in Asia, Africa, and Antarctica and photographing the indigenous populations both human and animal. The exhibition is a wraparound experience that asks viewers to utilize all their senses, it consists of photographs, the innovative setting, elegiac music, and a 45 minute film with narration by Laurence Fishburne from a novel of super romantic letters also by Colbert. It is a huge undertaking for one artist, it has been monumentally successful both monetarily and with many critics; and the multi- billion-dollar art industry does not take this lightly.
The art industry wants the peon public to pay obeisance only at the most modern temples of art, like the newly constructed MOMA. In that museum the admission price is a steep $22 and the art is hung in galleries that do not invite wonder, tears or the susurrated murmurings that ooze from the crowd trekking through Pier 54 at the rate of 5000 a day downtown. When you form the line to purchase a $12 ticket, $6 to seniors and students, with kids under 12 free, you join a phalanx of faithful shuffling into a new temple of art. You share the numinous space with mothers nursing babies, couples sighing and holding hands or quiet, well-coifed matrons nodding approvals. There are naysayers I know, but on the days I swayed to the droning music and took in the images, they were not in earshot.
This building was made of us, it was placed in nature, it was deliberately situated where families, athletes and wanders come to run, bike, skate and commune with the watery frame to our island. Colbert filled it with images that are so inspirational and startling that in this time of altered reality television and special effects we gasp that these photographs are untouched, unmanipulated and raw in their power.
We see a small monkish boy sitting in careful rock pose reading to an equally postured pachyderm. The boy reads and the elephant appears to have folded his trunk over his legs to listen. Colbert insists that respect between species fosters, commands this kind of quiet respect. Any of us who are drawn to interact with animals know the power of wordless connection. In my own house lives an enormous 22-pound part wild cat. He will only visit if you are reading; television holds no sway with him. You must be supine and immersed in print. The projected energy from reading is the vibration that mesmerizes our skittish cat, and these are a but a blip on the screen of what Colbert has achieved, but our personal experiences allow us to connect to art.
We yearn to be drawn into images, sounds, words and spaces that sanctify our often-random existence. Some of the art world would have us scorn Colberts work as narcissistic or derivative. As recent NY Times piece postulates that Colberts images of elephants mimic Richard Avedons 1955 Dovima with Elephants. What I am afraid the critic missed in the seminal high fashion spread is that the elephant was shackled and for my money so was the woman in her high heels, full maquillage and slim couture gown. These were not equals interacting. The world of Colbert, the world of indigenous people, the world of ancient temples and monuments like those shown at Amun at Karnak , Egypt and the Temple of Hatshepsut at Luxor represent a universe designed to eliminate barriers by increasing connection.
When my son was very small he had an endless array of what he called animal dreams, he loved them; they transported his nights into times of wonder. One morning he asked me if adults had animal dreams, and I told him, Only if they are very lucky. When I first met Gregory Colbert in 1992 he had just returned from his first shows in Switzerland and Japan and was pondering his next step. He decided to take the next decade and immerse himself in his fieldwork. But he left me with a recurring dream based on eidetic images of swimming elephants. On random evenings my mind would be awash with the beauty of behemoths weightless and serene. Dont we crave that now, this ability to see images and take them back into our dream world so we can conjure a peaceful harmony with nature, with the world, our island and ourselves. I know I do.
Prehistoric humans drew on caves, they fashioned stories of wooly mammoths, flying monsters and saviors. They revered and honored all the species that surrounded them. Colberts work is a clarion call to return to that kind of parity, a place where we end racism, sexism and even specieism by a mutual respect. That is a tall order for photographs and recycled materials, but the Nomadic Museum on a spring day is the best place to begin this journey.
Ashes and Snow at The Nomadic Museum Pier 13, Hudson River Park and 13 St. Until June 6.

Cheaper Energy Bills and Green Growth
Originally published by UK Liberal Democrats
Nick Clegg has announced that the big six energy companies - EDF, E.On, British Gas, Southern, Scottish Power and NPower, who supply 99 per cent of British homes with energy - will now write to customers every year to specifically tell them what the best tariff is for them and how to get it.
'Going Green has never made so much sense'
The Deputy Prime Minister made the announcement in a speech where he also hit out at people who believe you must dismiss the green agenda in order to deliver growth.
In his speech Nick Clegg said:
"There is a myth doing the rounds in political debate today; that here in the UK environmentalism has hit a wall; that green is for the good times; and that we cannot up our efforts to protect our environment while simultaneously growing our economy.
"But this new wisdom, however persuasive, is utterly wrong. Yes, right now climate change may be lower down some people's thoughts. Yes, we need to be sensitive to businesses' needs. But in so many ways, for so many consumers, for so many firms, going green has never made so much sense."
You can read the full speech here.
Cheaper Bills
Currently there are more than 120 different tariffs on offer by the energy companies and seven out of 10 people aren't on the best tariff for them. The average customer tends to stay on theirs for years, despite the amount of energy they use varying over time. In 2010, 75 per cent of people did not change their tariff.
The Government wants people to save money on their bills whilst also becoming more switched on to the idea of saving energy through green measures to make further savings and protecting the environment.
Nick Clegg said:
"We need to get bills as low as possible. I know that many families are struggling with rising energy bills. We can't control volatile world energy prices. But we can still help people get their bills down.
"We want to see consumers saving money and engage with the energy they use. Precisely the kind of thrift that is good for pockets as well as the planet."
Bills can be further reduced with energy efficiency measures such as installing loft and cavity wall insulation - which the Government requires the big energy suppliers to help households with and provide free to some of the most vulnerable consumers.
