Cineaste: Winter 2009
"Its critical thunder eclipsed at the time by the more lushly funded Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey (both of which brokered in discomfiting speculation about mankind's origins and destiny), Night of the Living Dead seems the more influential work forty years after the fact," argues Richard Harland Smith. "Eschewing heady preoccupations of past and future, the film grounds itself in the moment, favoring infection over evolution as a vector for change.... As it was ripped off, remade, referenced, and sequelized, the film's logline incubated to emerge as archetypal an American narrative as the frontier myth."
In a companion piece, part of the "Special Focus" on contemporary horror in the new issue of Cineaste, Robert Cashill reviews five new books on horror. More books under review: Peter Tonguette on two books about Vincente Minnelli and Henry K Miller on The Tenth Muse: Writing about Cinema in the Modernist Period and Moving Forward, Looking Back: The European Avant-Garde and the Invention of Film Culture, 1919 - 1939.
"With the introduction in 1967 of the first affordable portable video camera, the Portapak, filmmakers, artists, and purveyors of radical media suddenly found themselves armed with a motion-picture apparatus that offered a host of new tools and potentialities, new methods of expressing ideas and capturing reality, a new medium whose nature and parameters cried out for exploration and experimentation," writes Jared Rapfogel. "And in the decade or so of the medium's infancy, an explosion of exploration did indeed occur, as a host of pioneers set about mapping the possibilities offered by video. Given the enormous volume of creative activity that transpired in video's infancy, and the vast range of approaches, the project of encapsulating this period is an inherently daunting one. But Surveying the First Decade: Video Art and Alternative Media in the US, 1968 - 1980, the ambitious DVD box set organized and produced by Chicago-based Video Data Bank - one of the most important, committed, and longstanding of experimental video distributors - manages the task with great aplomb."
More DVDs: Adam Bingham on Criterion's Nikkatsu Noir collection, Jonathan Murray on The Saragossa Manuscript (related: Lee Arizuno in the Quietus on The Surrealist Visions of Wojciech Has, a season currently touring the UK), Amy R Handler on Kino International's Gaumont Treasures, 1897 - 1913, Martha P Nochimson on Ashes of Time Redux and, again, Adam Bingham, here with a roundup of releases of work by Maurice Pialat from Masters of Cinema and Artificial Eye: "Viewed today, six years after his death and twelve years since his last work, he emerges as a key figure in the development of that austere, uncompromising strain of French cinema that would achieve prominence in films like Louis Malle's Lacombe Lucien, Sandrine Veysset's Will it Snow for Christmas?, and Bertrand Tavernier's The Bait, and which today finds its nadir in such figures as the Dardenne brothers and Bruno Dumont. Pialat's early works anticipate these films' microcosmic stories of broken families and corrosive personal relationships, their emphasis on predominantly working-class characters and environments, and their concern with existential self-definition and the extent to which characters' identities and subjectivity can be shaped by personal agency as opposed to the environment and familial/social milieu in which they live. What is surprising, no less than it is astonishing, is how early in his career Pialat cemented this particular esthetic, and at a time when there was almost no audience for works of committed social realism."
"In his second feature, The Maid, Chilean director and cowriter Sebastián Silva draws on his own memories of family domestic help, still quite common among the middle class in contemporary South America," writes Megan Ratner. "Rural emigrants to the city, these women often begin in their late teens, tending to one family for decades. The film captures exactly the hived-off separation and inadvertent intimacy of such a live-in servant. In their Sundance Festival double prizewinner, Silva and cowriter Pedro Peirano expose this peculiar normality and the shifting female power that keeps it in precarious balance."
Interviews: James Morgart with Stuart Gordon, Cynthia Lucia with Cédric Klapisch and David Sterritt with Christopher Trumbo. Festival reports: Dennis West on Karlovy Vary, Richard Porton on Toronto and Gary Crowdus on the Montreal World Film Festival.

Braised. Braised. Braaiiisseedd.
I don't think it's a very appetising word and would probably never order anything braised in a restaurant. But I wanted to play cooking with claypot again.
It makes you feel like you're doing legitimate cooking when you could be making the same dish in a normal pan. What fun!
It's about pretending to be cool in the kitchen, when actually you're nothing more than a greedy food enthusiast who pretends to cook well (but doesn't actually), and doesn't like to tell people you cook because they might actually get you to cook something for them and then they would realise that you actually aren't very good at cooking. They might berate you after that for having a food blog. Phew. Perhaps I won't turn Publicise on after all.
Before you think I've cracked slightly, let's move quickly on to the recipe.
Braised Tofu with Mushrooms (In a Claypot)
Recipe again adapted from Rasa Malaysia. This is pretty much my go-to website for Chinese-y type recipes. The original recipe is a porky version but mine is vegetarian. Except for the fishcakes I added afterwards, because certain males in my family won't eat tofu and believe it causes them to grow breasts (it's a myth everyone!!!)
1 packet of tofu, cut into cubes and drained
1 packet of fishcakes, sliced – totally optional, I added this later
5 Chinese dried mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablesp sweet soya sauce – it's better to use kicap manis, but I used Chinese dark thick soya sauce because I didn't have any. If you do this, up the sugar to 1/4 teasp
1/2 tablesp oyster sauce
1 teasp soya sauce
1/8 teasp sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablesp water + 1 teasp corn starch – to thicken rather than anything else
A single chopped spring onion – I used more..I don't like wasting half a packet
White pepper to taste
- Precook the tofu and fishcakes (if using). You can either deepfry, or stick it in the toaster oven (lightly oiled). If you toast it, flip it after it turns golden brown. Drain off the oil on paper towels.
- Heat the claypot (slowly) and dump in garlic and a little oil. Fry the garlic until it's golden brown.
- Chuck in the mushrooms, tofu, and fishcakes (if using).
- Pour in all the sauces and the 1/4 cup of water.
- Cover the pot, and leave everything to braaiiisseee for 15 minutes over low heat.
- Stir in the corn starch mixture.
- Throw on the spring onions.
- Eat your warm, comforting meal from the claypot with rice.

Life is never fair though.
It's not meant to be fair. No one can have a perfect life and no one can have the exact same life. It wouldn't make sense, it wouldn't be real. No one would progress and change, no one would feel.
I think the biggest reality of the unfairness of this world is death.
I remember when my aunt died of cancer. I remember how I didn't take it well. Even if she lived in California and I saw her maybe once a year, having to watch such an incredible, kind, brave woman battle cancer and die from it was so hard on me.
I didn't know how to cope.
I was asked to sing at the funeral and I remember struggling to get through it, my emotions and tears taking over my voice. My uncle still loved it, he told me so, but I remember being ashamed, feeling that I had ruined a beautiful moment.
I was lost at the time.
I grew up in the LDS church and we are taught that there is an afterlife. That we are sealed to our families for eternity. That we will see our family members again after we die.
We never truly lose someone.
But when my aunt died, my heart was lost and I didn't believe it. I didn't believe that I would see her again. And it felt so unfair that this amazing woman was just gone.
There was a moment in my life that changed me.
I had been broken for a long time. I had been viciously cutting and burning myself. And one night in college I ran away and I found myself on the steps of an LDS church building in the middle of the night.
And I prayed.
And I didn't feel anything after. There was no light from heaven, there was no prompting, there was no comfort. My pain didn't disappear it didn't diminish. In that moment, nothing changed.
I didn't know it at the time, but my entire life would shift from that moment on.
It was slow and gradual, but my heart began finding the light again. And I believe with every part of me, that it was not a coincidence that only a week later I would meet the man who would later become my husband, and who I believe is my soulmate.
God is good.
He teaches us when and how we need to be taught. He has a path and a plan for our lives. It's never easy or fair or what we want. He knows what's best.
I know I am sealed to my family for eternity.
My family means the world to me. My parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, in-laws, husband, and my beautiful baby girls. I know we are all part of a bigger plan. I will see my aunt again. I will see my grandpa again. And I will see my angel baby again.
The world lost a great man.
President Thomas S. Monson passed away. He was a prophet of God. He inspired me. He spoke, and I couldn't help but listen. He would tell me to do something and I wanted to go and do it. I think, more than any apostle in the LDS church, he was the one that helped me find myself when I was lost.
He is not gone, though.
He is now reunited with his sweet wife. And his words have resonated in the hearts of many people and will live on for eternity. And while he may not dwell on earth anymore, he will always live in our hearts and in our memory.
Death is not the end.
And our lives have so much more meaning than we could ever imagine.
And I love knowing.

Screen Actors Workshop Curriculum:
The backbone of our curriculum is Stanislavski's Method; based on the principal that acting finds its expression in people's responses to other people and circumstances. However not all actors respond to the same technique: Therefore our curriculum incorporates the best elements of Stanislavski combined with the most effective techniques of other proven methods including Meisner, Chekhov, Morris and Mamet. Blended with these methods are our own proven techniques, developed throughout many years of teaching experience. By not limiting our curriculum to any one particular method or technique, our unrestricted approach ensures our students receive a comprehensive, dynamic and well-rounded education.
- Comprehensive training in screen performance and technique
- Numerous levels of study available – from beginner intro to camera to cutting-edge advanced classes
"To Grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it is his dedication."
Marlon Brando

Which medicines can I take safely in pregnancy?
Many medicines – even over-the-counter remedies – are not recommended during pregnancy, although fortunately if you have taken any without knowing you were pregnant, they are unlikely to have had any harmful effect on the fetus. However, you should always check with your doctor if a particular prescription drug can be taken during pregnancy, and check with a pharmacist if you are buying a non-prescription drug. Even if they are technically safe, you may find that some medications (such as indigestion remedies) affect absorption of vitamins and minerals, so it is best not to take them unless strictly necessary.
Are infections a risk in pregnancy?
Many women worry that an infection might affect their pregnancy, but I can reassure you that infections such as the common cold, 'flu, throat infections, gastroenteritis, and general tummy upsets are not dangerous for your pregnancy or your baby.
However, if you have been exposed to diseases such as chickenpox, rubella (14), or measles and you have not had the disease yourself or have not been immunized this can be a cause for concern and you should consult your GP.
Chickenpox This is a highly contagious virus that is extremely common among young children, but which is unlikely to affect your pregnancy or your baby if you catch it. If you contract chickenpox during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, it is unlikely to cause you to miscarry or to affect the embryo. If you contract it between weeks 8 and 20, there is only a very small risk (1-2 per cent) of it affecting your baby.
Measles One of the most contagious viral diseases, and if contracted during pregnancy measles can lead to miscarriage and to infection of your unborn baby.
In the worst cases, it can result in the death of the baby if infection occurs near delivery date.

Casting at the Darkness (Four AD&D Games)
For my part, D&D is not my role-playing game of choice. I am a White Wolf man, through and through, preferring stories where players are pushed hard emotionally. But I have rolled a d20 here and there in my time, and I know my THAC0 from my Save vs Poison, Paralysis, and Death. I have less patience for RPG video games, however, as they are basically the masturbation of gaming - what you do when you can't get the real thing. But there are four, count them four D&D games to have come out for the NES, and because I am a faithful blogger, I have played all four. For you.
We'll start with the bad - Heroes of the Lance and Pools of Radiance. These are two games that just did not come together for me. Heroes of the Lance had a breathtakingly clunky control scheme that led to a mass of death and a general failure to understand what seemed like they should be basic functions of the game like "how do I switch characters" or "How do I hit this short guy who my sword swings over the head of." In this regard, it was not entirely unlike my experience reading the Dragonlance books on which it was based.
Pools of Radiance, on the other hand, I am actually more or less unable to review in a sensible manner. Because the game is actually, astonishingly, worse than its sequel. This is an impressive feat, because its sequel contained a bug whereby it would delete your entire hard drive when you uninstalled it. I mean, maybe there's a good game in there somewhere. But here's the game I played - first, you spend time rolling a character. Then, you start playing the game, which begins with a several minutes long tour of the city. The city consists of numerous repetitions of the same wall and door, none of which are labeled in any way so as to orient you. Then you are left in front of a dungeon that is crawling with monsters. Being as this is a D&D game, you enter the dungeon.
There you are swiftly cut down in one hit, you get a game over, your character is deleted entirely, and you have to create a new one and sit through the several minutes long tour of the city. Again.
Seriously. In my half hour, I didn't get any further than this.
We should stop here, and note that what interests me about roleplaying games is that they are an emotional medium. The focus on forcing players into using the first-person and thus into a sort of active method acting is interesting to me. Because it creates the opportunity to carefully construct dramatic and powerful emotional moments.
Video games are a fascinating medium, and I love them, but the only emotion they generate with any reliability is white-hot rage. And so they are a poor medium for role-playing. Role-playing is also a fundamentally social experience. It is about creating a narrative that is experienced vividly by a small group of people, and is inaccessible to everyone else. So I should modify, a socially anti-social experience. But it is an intense shared experience, and this is what makes it interesting. It is intimate. One has strong emotional ties to ones gaming buddies. I have friends I rarely talk to except about gaming, and yet those friendships are still some of the most intense and significant friendships I have.
That said, Hillsfar, in its own strange way, does capture the feeling of a D&D game. You run around confused and directionless, get into dungeons, are arbitrarily punished for things you do not entirely understand, and, when things go badly, are kidnapped by bandits and robbed with no chance of defending yourself. It is, in short, an exact clone of D&D when played with an overly sadistic DM. I have to stop short of calling the game fun - I have no desire to go back to it. But playing it, one constantly feels as though one is on the brink of having a really good time.
Finally, there is Dragonstrike - at once the worst and best use of the D&D license. Where the other three games attempt to produce something resembling the D&D experience, in Dragonstrike you are a dragon. You fly over land, and burn shit up. Or freeze it. Or whatever. It's straightforward. It's fun. The first boss is kind of killer, but it leaves me with the feeling that I could get good at the game and enjoy it.
This is perhaps the thing I like most about video games. Even a truly great video game is not, generally speaking, high art. That doesn't make it uninteresting in the slightest, and it doesn't make it a stupid medium. But it is, for better or for worse, about fun.
But it does make it a poor substitute for RPGs.

I shudder to think the amount of time I've invested in Pool of Radiance. I even completed several story events of the game. I think I almost figured out what the game was about.ReplyDelete
You can cheat the brutal character killing to an extent by importing a character you've just made and happened to survive a few fights into a new game with a new party and repeat those fights for experience. That said, my brother must have devoted more time than I ever had patience for because we had a perpetually level 6 fighter with maxed strength stats that somehow made it into every single party, and was still only marginally useful.

I understand I'm late to the party, but frezno brought me here with his relaunch and I'm reading it all from the beginning. I believe I can add a few comments here and there that may be interesting.
I'm always with the "blind" gamer until I actually run across something I and countless others love. That's when the lack of research, lack of reading the manual can really get to a person reading the thoughts of someone who has never really played the game.
There are ways to approach a beloved game or any entertainment that you happen to not like. It's actually fairly simple; You just have to do a quick wikipedia search, give a short history of the game and why it's so popular, then give your opinion saying "but I hate it."
But blood can boil when someone goes into a game that has achievements of being ported to almost every machine at that time, sold tons of copies, was the start of the legendary "Gold Box Games" of which at least 9 games came out with practically the same graphics, is in the CGW hall of fame and places consistently in the top RPG's of all time...
I understand that the game in its NES form is crap in a sense, though it is still basically the same game. It should not have been ported to a platform for children who don't have attention spans. It was made for the Commodore 64 and ported to the Amiga and DOS, and it's meant to have a keyboard.
You likened computer D&D to masturbation. When you can't have the real thing, you go there. Well, what do you think caused millions to be absorbed in computer games over the years????
Console VS. computer gaming are two different beasts. Two different markets. Consoles were for children, computers were for very intelligent adults with some money. You didn't see many platform games on computers for a reason, just as you didn't see too many RPG's on a console.
I feel extremely lucky in that my father was a computer nerd. I've seen that most people our age were either given an NES or a computer but the parents had no idea what the hell the thing was. This caused children to develop a life long love for games that were easy enough for them to like at the time. This is why games continue to get dumber and dumber as they get more advanced.
My dad had a C64, which I barely remember. Then he got an Amiga for himself, and an NES for the kids. I got to watch the adult play games that he liked, as well as play games I liked. When it came to the NES, adults never touched it, beneath them. I could watch him play games for hours, and I would get lost in the world watching. I have a very unique perspective in that I understand both the NES and computer worlds of that time, and enjoy them both.
I feel a need to defend these types of games as they get beat up on far too much these days. The children of that time are now the ones reviewing them on YouTube and blogs. The adults of that time are not doing this kind of stuff, so the history is being told by people that were 5 years old when these games came out and grew to only like games that did not require a manual.
Some games require a manual and more than a half hour. This game could take months to complete. If you're on a journey to find yourself, I'd think you'd have a much better shot getting into an adventure that gives you lots of time to think rather than games you throw away in a half hour.
These games were made for nerds, and they cost $80 at the time! They sold for that much because it was 30 times the size of Super Mario (which was huge for the console world) and people loved the stories and adventures these things took you on.
Now I've only been to a couple "real" D&D sessions, and I could just as easily describe those as a big "circle jerk" to use your sexual metaphors. I'd rather be alone in front of a computer honestly. I'd rather "play" with myself than "play" with a bunch of nerds. lol
Part 2ReplyDelete
I understand the rage you feel with video games... I played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I screamed at the TV, I threw the controller. But I could also from a young age find serenity in a game... When I beat Super Mario 3 the first time I listened to the end music for a half hour. Watched my dad play Civilization, Pirates, RailRoad Tycoon, and MANY D&D games, and I always felt I was missing something with the console games. These were worlds he got to play in, I had to play in a basement.
While I have huge attachments to the NES games I played as a kid, I have greater attachments to the computer games I played, because those were amazing in my eyes. My favorite games of all time is probably Wing Commander because of its story, and Might and Magic 6, as in 1997 being 12 years old it was the first RPG I was intelligent enough to play... And it took me a year of real life to win.
I'm just pointing out there are games that are "technically" terrible no matter how you look at it, and there are games that are bad only to the beholder. It's good to research everything just a little to understand what you're going into.
Imagine someone who had never seen a Star Trek movie comes up to a Trekie and starts saying shit about one of the most beloved franchises of all time? Ton's of people hate Star Trek, but they understand tons of people love it and just say "I don't get it" and that's fine. These D&D games on the computer were extremely successful and loved. They are technically good games even if one does not understand them.
Enough of the criticism... I'm just starting with your blog and have thus far loved reading about the connections you make between the games and your (at the time anyway) broken life. You will probably hear from me again. By the way, what's with this blogspot 4,096 character limit for a reply? Isn't the point to get a long conversation going that twitter and facebook can't compete with? :)

In honor of Columbus Day, here are pics of our Sunday dinner of good old red-sauce Italian food from Mamma Mia's. (Yes...there we went again.)
Mamma Mia's has been an institution in Plymouth, one town over from Carver, for what seems like forever. When Mumma found out that Mamma Mia's was opening a restaurant in Carver and that it was going to be around the corner from where she lived, she practically swooned. We did, too, because we had our Christmas, birthday, and Mother's Day gifts figured out in perpetuity: gift certificates! We started with the antipasto. Cold cuts on top of a salad...how bad can that be?
My family--my grandparents and my mom and dad--used to make tortellini, or "tootalings" as I
used to call them, from scratch. Tootalings in broth from Mamma MIa's is one of my favorite things in the world to eat, and baked ziti with melted cheese, thin slices of meatballs, and lots of sauce is another.

this article pointed out a very common moden behaviour of comsumers which is that their communication habbit has shiffted from receving all messages and information to selective ones only and those are commenly the ones thats short. This article pointed out the importance of understanding people's communication behaviour and as a marketer, we should design ads thats fits the behaviour of comsumers which is make it easy for comsumers to understand and short. A good marketer should be able to understand how to be communicate effectivly with comsuers.

But I reckon some of the ads on todays media are too short that it doesnt get any message across.
Theoni Paulse's comment, April 9, 2013 11:56 PM
As long as the ads that are short get to the point staright away and don't creat confusion between the brand and the message. Sometimes long ads drag on for too long and teh mesage is lost

Obama is about to start a new war. But please, do not talk about it. That would get you banned by the ......TwinkleTeam...... whose sole purpose is to destroy this forum and push for the Democrats.

Alright...maybe it's not "major" exactly...but I will take any excuse to quote one of my favorite movies ;)
As if I don't talk about myself enough on my blog...here are some more random tidbits about...you guessed it...ME :)
1. What is your all time favorite race or sporting event in which you participated?
This is a no brainer...my favorite race was the Kansas City Marathon. I think it will always be my favorite and most memorable. I have actually been struggling lately with "what's next?" and with how to get myself excited and motivated for another race. I mean seriously, I am not sure I can top it!
Another easy one...mint chocolate chip ice cream. When we were little this was always our special little treat. I remember how excited we would get when our mom would pick up a pint of Edy's Mint Chocolate Chip and a package of ice cream cones!! I blame my mom for my unhealthy addiction to mint ice cream :)
It is SO hard to pick just one. I know everyone says this...but I had an incredible childhood. However, if I have to choose one, I would say that reading the Highlights magazine with my dad was one of my favorite things about my childhood. My grandma bought me a subscription to that magazine every year and I remember that every time that it came in the mail I could NOT wait until my dad got home. We would read that thing cover to cover and he would even let me find all the pictures in the picture find first :)
4. Favorite sport/sports team?
Chiefs, Royals, Sporting KC, Pitt State, K-State...pretty much anything KC related :)
Speaking of...who's out there rooting for the Royals tonight? I know I sure am...while I am definitely ready for baseball season to be over and to get back to my regularly scheduled programs in the evenings I sure wouldn't mind seeing the Royals win the World Series. The last time that happened, I was only 1 year old!
5. How did you become a blogger?
In 2010 I went through a pretty tough break-up. I had allowed myself to be in an unhealthy relationship for far too long and I was struggling to "find" myself. With the help of a good friend, I made an unconventional New Year's Resolution for 2011 and I decided that I would blog about my adventures along the way.
My resolution was to start stepping out of my comfort zone and being more spontaneous...hence "What the heck...why not?" I decided that I was going to stop over-thinking things and saying yes to more often and getting out of my comfort zone. It was seriously the BEST thing I could have done. I made tons of new friends, experienced some amazing things, and yes...you guessed it found myself :) Totally cheesy, yes...but that New Year's resolution was so successful...and fun...I've continued the tradition for the last few years...and plan to continue...as long as I can keep coming up with ideas!
Now that I am thinking of it...anybody have any fun ideas for next year? I'm stuck...and time is a tickin'
6. Favorite place to travel?
My favorite place so far (and somewhere I would LOVE to go back) is Big Sky, Montana. I went there a few years ago with a big group of friends and got to go dog-sledding, snow-shoeing, zip-lining and I even got to drive a snow-mobile through Yellowstone National Park. I want to go back and do all of those things again, and I would love to go back in the summer as well.
7. What is your favorite food/dish/meal to cook?
Does ordering pizza count? I hate cooking...I don't have the patience or desire. Lucky for me, AJ LOVES to cook! One of the top 10 reasons I love him ;)
8. Favorite song?
Another no brainer...Push It by Salt N' Pepa. This song is so fun and upbeat and always makes me smile! It's forever on my playlist and was even playing as I crossed the finish line of my first half-marathon :)
9. Do you have fur kids? If so, how many and what kind?
I have a dog, a 10 year old Yorkie named Gracie...but I have this weird thing about calling her my "kid" or anyone calling me her "mommy" I don't know why...I'm just weird like that I guess :)
10. What is one item that you always have with you?
My water bottle. I never ever go anywhere without it...unless I lose it...Which has been known to happen a time or two...or ten. Becauase of this I have a very impressive collection of Camelbak water bottles in my car :)
Alright...now that you know way more about me than you ever cared to know it's my turn to nominate some of my very favorite bloggers!! Make sure to check them out...I promise you won't be disappointed! :)

There was much critique by speakers of the centralized nation-state. Especially the way in which the form the nation-state takes erodes and assimilates the colorful diversity of society through engineering the creation of a singular language, culture, and nation. In the same vein, speakers lauded the importance of democratic confederalism as a model, put into practice in Rojava, which nourishes and protects each ethnic and religious group within its system. In this context, there was also an emphasis on the ecological pillar of democratic confederalism, described as a way of encompassing each unique aspect of the various languages, cultures, religions, and peoples present in Rojava. As Sînam Mohammed, European Representative of the Democratic Self-Administration of Rojava, simply stated: "Our aim is to bring about unity in diversity."

Most ponds can benefit from an effective and efficient skimmer, like Oase's Swimskim. Available through Swell UK at the very best UK prices, Swimskim units are imported from Germany, where they are made to the highest standards for longevity and effectiveness.
With an powerful and reliable integrated pump, SwimSkims float on the surface of your pond, tackling surface scum produced by the waste from your fish, proteins, and floating debris, literally skimming off the unattractive bits that end up in your pond, otherwise ruining the clear look of your water.
The larger models are part of Oase's CWS, or Clear Water Systems, guaranteed to produce crystal clear effects when used appropriately, in conjunction with an established filter system.
Not only that, but the Oase Swimskim helps to oxygenate your water too! Low oxygen levels can cause a pond to really suffer, effecting pH levels and more importantly, causing your fish stress as they gasp for air at the surface, unable to breathe properly through their gills.
Swimskins churn the water a little, helping to add extra oxygen to the water so your fish are happier, especially useful in the hotter months where oxygen levels can get precariously low.

On last night's show, I reviewed the many instances of bias on display during the first Trump/Clinton debate. One particular example stands out:
Donald Trump once mused on the Howard Stern Show about a US invasion of Iraq, but he actually opposed the war when the prospect seemed more likely.
Debate moderator Lester Holt twisted his into a "gotcha" moment in Hillary's favour.
But why didn't Holt ask Clinton about war; unlike Trump, she was in the Senate at the time, and voted for the invasion.

Internet Protocol (IP) video is security technology's new frontier. It offers new functionality, extends enterprise command and control, and economizes on installation costs. While roughly 80 percent of the surveillance cameras on the market are still analog, the world is heading toward full IP. The question is: Are you ready?The question confronting organizations is how to migrate sensibly from analog to IP. They are looking for a migration path that does not force them to abandon existing investments in analog technology, but that does not prolong their commitment to it either.IP devices have many benefits, first among them cost. Cost savings begin with infrastructure. A length of Cat-6 cable costs up to 50 percent less than a bundle of coaxial cable, fiber, audio wire, control wire, alarm input wire, relay output wire and power cable. If a security director wants to wire a new building or a new section of the building, it is almost always more financially advantageous to use Cat-6 with UTP conversion devices. If installed equipment uses power over Ethernet (PoE), the savings are even more substantial.Once the IP local area network (LAN) is in place, it is easy and inexpensive to install or relocate equipment. Cameras can reside anywhere on the LAN as they require no special wiring or programming. The technology is plug-and-play. Benefits go beyond cost savings, however. Digital video technology can deliver exceptional image resolution. Security directors have the flexibility to choose from several megapixel rates and formats. IP cameras also integrate far more easily with other devices on the LAN than analog cameras. Most of today's security technology resides there: motion detectors, panic buttons and access control devices. Building controls, voice, data and business applications all reside there as well. Integration among these systems enable exciting new applications. For example, if a breach triggers an alarm, a security director might be able to locate the breach on the building automation system's floor plan and stream video to the closest officerˇs PDA or cellular phone.IP pushes the boundaries of enterprise command and control. When security footage is available anytime, anywhere over the Internet, it becomes possible for a central command center to assume primary responsibility for monitoring a remote site.
Ready to Migrate?Regardless of its benefits, evaluating whether or not to begin migrating to IP requires sober planning. The security director must weigh the pros and cons of IP equipment in the context of his organization. There is an expression in the United States: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." It may be trite, but it contains a valuable nugget of wisdom. If an organization's analog infrastructure performs well, secures facilities adequately, will continue to meet projected needs for the foreseeable future, and has a lifespan that extends out another 10 or more years, there is little need to replace it.Thus, the decision whether to migrate begins with a simple needs analysis. What are the current needs? How will those needs change in the future? If a security director answers yes to any of the following statements, it is time to start down the road to IP:- My existing cameras do not meet my current needs.- My existing cameras are reaching the end of their useful life.- I will be expanding my network of cameras to provide additional cameras.
Hybrid: The Path to IPFortunately, migrating to IP does not mean abandoning existing investments in analog equipment. A hybrid system represents the most feasible path from analog to IP. The key to successful hybrid installations is to seize every opportunity to advance toward digital as occasion arises. Organizations should install Cat-6 cable when wiring new sections or constructing new facilities. They should purchase new IP cameras instead of analog whenever feasible.Not every security installer/integrator has acquired expertise with IP equipment. Migrating to IP may mean shopping for a new technology partner. A good security integrator will get involved early in the planning process, acting as a consultant in identifying current and future security needs. If the integrator has expertise across the entire spectrum from analog to hybrid to IP, he can recommend a solid migration plan tailored to the organization. The plan will make a business case for migration, identifying new investments' cost advantages as well as the new functionality they provide.The information technology (IT) department should also be engaged. IP equipment resides on a standard network. Security equipment may or may not share infrastructure with voice, data and other systems depending on bandwidth constraints. Either way, the IT department will likely have an ongoing role in servicing and maintaining the infrastructure backbone on which new IP cameras reside. Meanwhile, it is not necessary to tear out existing analog cabling either. Select DVRs can convert received video to digital. Then video analytics and security management software can make use of all the organization's surveillance video regardless of whether an analog or IP camera captured it or whether a LAN or coaxial cable carried the signal to the DVR. Organizations rightly worry that migrating to IP video will force them to abandon their investments in analog infrastructure and equipment. An experienced integrator can help them adopt a hybrid strategy that allows analog and IP equipment to coexist seamlessly within a single facility. Done correctly, the hybrid approach enables a gradual, deliberate and sensible migration from analog to IP. It delivers new functionality while conserving costs.

Morning Sue. This is a stunning card. The black and white is a one of my favourite colour combos. The boarder die is beautiful used like this it gives the background a lacey look to it. Another one for me to try.
Best Wishes.

Hello Sue, another amazing card, I don't know how you come up with the ideas. Apart from this being a favourite colour combo of mine, I really like the effect of the white strip between the 2 border die cuts, it looks really different. Have a great day. Bx

Well hi Sue. Today's sample is so dramatic I actually gasped when it loaded. The colour scheme plays a big part with the WOW factor, as I would imagin it would look far less dramatic but equally as beautiful if the more delicate pastels were used. Gorgeous card Sue.

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
I like this card Sue, i like the black and white colour scheme that you have used(now don't faint, someone pick Sue up off the floor as she has just fainted on me, lol). The black is more as a highlight to show off the white and does so perfectly and turns this into such a stylish card that fair enough i don't have the dies for but i have others and i will try to make a card for a friend(they are minimalistic and modern) who will just love it as right down her street. Thank you Sue for your inspiration once more and the talent that you share with us all. Sorry i haven't been in but not been 100 % and today i have my little bundle of joy who is keeping me on my toes,tired ones at that.
Frances, i was so chuffed to see your name as a winner on Sunday flower, i hope that you and the rest of last weeks winners enjoy their prize when it comes out to you. Sorry girls someone is getting fractious here and i am trying to burl my mum's study chair with him in it and type at the smae time, not easy so i will wish you all well with hugs to all my friends that need them,
love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue, I can see the appeal of this card but I am sorry to say it is not for me. I think maybe it is just the size and shape that is putting me off because I love the dies you have used. I know I like to stick to regular shapes so maybe I will have to try harder to make something out of my comfort zone.
Pat L - thinking of you, Sarah and the family and hoping all goes well today.
Elaine H - good to hear Andrew is home, we always feel so much better in our own beds and you can enjoy feeding him up.

Hi Sue. I had to laugh when I saw today's card as yesterday I made a very similar card with the straight edges of the noble die towards the outside edges of the card and also just before looking at your blog I have just ordered the die you have used in the centre for the sentiment. Spooky eh!
- 21 June 2016 at 12:25
Oooh what a stunning, striking card. So dramatic in the black but can also imagine this in a maroon or navy card. Ideal for a man. It would be the first card your eye would go to on a shelf of cards. Thank you Sue.

Gorgeous card, love everything about it
Unfortunately Sarah's op didn't happen, when they had her anaestheitised and attached all the nerve response monitors there was no output in her legs when she was lying on her back or front only got a response when they sat her up in her normal curved position. She is to have MRI and CT scans tomorrow and then see neurosurgeon on Thursday along with the orthopaedic surgeon who was to have done today's op. Thanks for all your kind wishes for Sarah

There is a joke about Crossfitters that the only thing they talk about is Crossfit. One of the most common of the dozens of variations of this joke claims that Crossfit is Fight Club in reverse: The first rule of Crossfit is that you always talk about Crossfit. The fact that I'm blogging on this topic may be further evidence of the truthfulness underlying this joke.
Much has been said about the "cultish" aspects of Crossfit. It has its own insider language full of terms like WOD, AMRAP, EMOM, Rx, and so on. It seems to do a good job of changing people who do it regularly. People talk about it incessantly.
With beginning regular exercise a year ago at Crossfit Chapel Hill came not only new levels of physical activity, but also exposure to a community and culture that was new to me. In a previous post I talked about how I have spent my adult life mostly surrounded by "church people, minister colleagues, academics, social justice activists, and liberal do-gooder types." Going to Crossfit meant immersing myself in a culture outside of what I was familiar with.
In some ways the culture of Crossfit Chapel Hill is not all that different from the culture of Chapel Hill, a predominantly liberal university town that prides itself on being North Carolina's "pat of butter in a sea of grits." Indeed, one of the coaches frequently wears an NPR T-shirt to the gym and several members workout in T-shirts showing their support for marriage equality in North Carolina.
When I say that the culture of Crossfit Chapel Hill was new to me I am not making a point about political differences, educational differences, or socioeconomic differences. Instead, what is different is a cultural understanding of how the physical self relates to the whole self as well as an understanding of the role of physical activity in life. That is what I am going to explore over the next several blog posts, but first let me say a little bit about the sport of Crossfit itself.
In his Crossfit memoir, Embrace the Suck, author Stephen Madden writes about taking up Crossfit during a kind of a fitness mid-life crisis in his mid-forties. He describes the philosophy of Crossfit this way,
What Crossfit was trying to achieve [was] to prepare us all for whatever life asked of us. I'm pretty sure [this was] meant… in the physical sense. That if we were walking down the street and saw flames leaping from the windows of the top floor of a building, we'd be able to sprint up the fire escape, kick down the door, drag the obese man who had been overcome by the smoke to the door, throw him over our shoulders, and carry him to safety on the sidewalk. Or cradle one twin baby in each arm while descending to the cellar laundry room. Or do one power snatch every minute on the minute for forty-five minutes.
Crossfit, writes Madden, is "based on principles of constantly varied functional movements done at high intensity." What this looks like in practice is workouts that feature calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups, pull-ups, burpees, squats, jumping rope, etc.), weightlifting (clean and jerk, snatch, overhead and bench press, deadlift, etc.), and gymnastics (handstands, exercises involving rings, etc.) in an endless variety of combinations and permutations.
At the heart of all of this is a critique of contemporary American culture and the ways a typical American lifestyle leads to diminished physical abilities. For example, the way we sit reduces our capacity to squat and weakens a chain of muscles that allows us to do important stuff. Or, too much typing on a computer leads to internal rotation of our shoulders and compromises our strength. Through doing these exercises, there's an awareness of regaining strength and mobility that our dominant lifestyle compromises. The future benefits of this form of fitness is that our bodies may remain functional longer prolonging our ability to live independently as we age. In the present, at least for me, there is a greater awareness of my own body, how my muscles and groups of muscles fire, and the way in which my body occupies and moves through space. There is also a greater sense of agency over my own body. This is essentially what I mean when I talk about "embodied" living. That's a topic I'll continue to explore over the next several posts.
But first, a quick story. It was the evening of a Crossfit social at a popular bar on Franklin Street. As the evening grew later, someone decided that it would be fun to see if they could press another member of the gym. The next thing you know, people are taking turns lying stiffly across a pair of barstools while others take turn putting their hands underneath them and pressing them fully overhead. (For the record, I declined to participate in this as either the lifter or the lifted.) Yes, this is another example of the annoying stuff that Crossfitters do, besides talking about Crossfit incessantly. But, as one member of the gym push pressed another, I could not help but admit that this was a culture that was new to me.
