|I agree. The first one rocked. comedy, with a touching story about the lonely kid no one likes.

|When I was a kid, after seeing Meatballs (the original), I wanted to go to a summer camp like Camp North Star. BTW- how did they come by the title Meatballs anyway? I don't recall any reference to it in the film anywhere. Was it something that might have wound up on the cutting room floor, or am I just not paying close enough attention? I digress. But, like Police Academy, some bozo in Hollywood thought it would be a brilliant idea to capitalize on a hit and run it into the ground with lame scripts. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on January 18, 2010, 11:16 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote

I know several of you watched the "Restoration Wild" program on Animal Planet network Friday night because you emailed me. It features my daughter's family property in NC and I'm in the end of the show where all of the friends and family show up for the reveal. It is still available on Comcast ON DEMAND until 11/9. The producer did a great job editing all of the video. My grandson did all of the aerial shots of the waterfall property and my son made the sign that is on the building. My daughter's beautiful mosaic hangs inside the building. It was all very exciting and I'm glad I was there for the reveal. Click on the photo to enlarge it and see the waterfall as well as the building.

I watched and even saw you as you entered the building. But I watched on a replay on Saturday. I don't know what time since I pulled something in my back and had taken some medication and was drifting in and out of sleep. The building is lovely and your daughter and her husband have done well in following their dreams.

What a gorgeous photo of the property! I thought they did an excellent job of creating a building that looks like it has been there for about 100 years. Your cactus bloom is really nice! Mine has never had large blooms like that.
Also, I've been wondering what type of batting you use?

I had one question about the show. Was the tractor barn that they took the material from not being used? They really didn't say anything about that. Those were some very nice thick board on the tractor barn and to reuse them on the getaway was perfect.

Just watched the show and what a beautiful build it was! The way they lit the waterfall so you could view it at night was a wonderful and unexpected feature.
Very cool that you are one of the first people to enter and give a reaction shot! Your daughter's mosaic is truly beautiful and perfect for the space and to honor the farm but I have to ask --- have they commissioned one of your quilts for the space too?
- November 9, 2015 at 8:28 AM

I watched in on demand last night, interesting show and gorgeous place! It just needs a few quilts!

http://tinyurl.com/yugou9 September 2, 2007 OUR family wants to thank Susan King for "A Timeless '3:10 to Yuma' " [Aug. 26]. "Yuma" is my favorite western that my father, Glenn Ford, made and a classic in the genre. I've always felt that it could stand up to all the western films released in that decade [the '50s], including "High Noon" and "The Searchers." That it's being remade again speaks to the dearth of [original] writing talent in the film business today; that it's shot in color with lots of gunplay -- it saddens us that they couldn't leave that one alone. My father got very little recognition during his lifetime from the Academy -- no nominations or tributes. The thought that now one of his best films will be remembered by the younger generation as a sidebar to what I expect to be an unworthy comparison makes our family very sad. Peter Ford Beverly Hills

I think we're all in agreement on this one. Yuma kicks ass!

for the myopic storyboarding comments. Yes I understand the hamfisted reference to comic-book movies (read a few decent ones and you'll see they're NOT the same and don't function the way a board does for a film) and sure he has a point there with years' worth of 'iconic poses' being restrictive but the stuff about just following what's pinned to the wall makes me crazy. And yes, I admit I'm biased here, but it seems like he's just repeating a tired and innacurate story. I don't think Mangold is the even the type of director that would let himself fall prey to what he talks about if he DID use them.
 It's like saying that Hitchcock movies or every animated movie ever has no life. Or it's like saying that Hitchcock and Steven Sommers/Paul Anderson (the shitty one) movies are the same/lousy because they were storyboarded within an inch of their lives. What sort of backwards thinking is it to blame boards as the common denominator rather than the director who lets themselves be strangled by that? Maybe Mangold isn't a huge Spielberg fan based on his comments about that ostentatious style of filmmaking, but there's a textbok example of someone who gets stuff boarded and can throw it away on the day for on-set inspiration knowing he'll have the important stuff shot and the rest is gravy. Why blame the boards and not the director? Unless I've misunderstood owing to my bias it seems like the tail wagging the dog. There are many advantages to boarding but the disadvantages surely lay with someone who can't utilise them properly.
 Having said all that I'm not against James Mangold at all and I really enjoyed his movies with maybe the exception of Girl, Interrupted. Not that I hated that either by any means. I guess I just get my back up having talked to more than one director with scared eyes wide about how they heard boards can "kill" a movie. And there's the whole conspiracy thing of board artists being diminished or not receiving credit because somehow it downplays the auteur mistique that a director might not be seen as the genius who comes up with every shot. All very silly and it's not like they don't have enough on their plates anyway!

I wanted to address Half Vader's comments because they are thoughtful and I wanted to make sure that (before a debate ensues) I had been articulate in expressing my feelings about storyboards. 1) I have nothing against storyboards and I have used them making all my films, particularly for scenes that require logistical, fx, stunt or technical planning. 2) I (personally) don't feel married to my storyboards when shooting if / when something more interesting or poignant reveals itself on set. There are many / most scenes I don't storyboard at all but I don't think this makes me a genius, I just think it means I am collaborative with my DP and actors etc and am following my own heart. I am not trying to tell anyone how to make their films. 3) When making a CG heavy film (YUMA is very analog), I think storyboards are more than a plan, they are the film itself as the live action is but one element to be married with other elements later and the storyboards are the bible holding this expensive process together. That is one way to make a film but not my way thus far. I love animated films (and worked on a mediochre one for Disney years ago with some of the famed Disney storymen) and I understand that process is a brilliant one, but one built for animation, a process that does not involve changing light or live actors who might do things that are brilliant and your boards might not have planned for -- please note that even Phil Harris's and Louis Primas's vocal stylings CHANGED the way those sequences were fastidiously planned in JUNGLE BOOK 4) I enjoy many films that were extensively storyboarded, as I said in the interview, its just not my style so far. 5) I deeply admire Spielberg and he is less of a obsessive storyboarder user than you think. I am told he is amazing on his feet with nothing but a finder. But it wouldn't matter to me if he was a devotee of storboards, I love his work. 6) Hitchcock shot coverage despite all his publicity efforts to make it seem otherwise. 7) My original point was about the western in particular and how as a director you can get so tickled to be working in such an iconic genre that you can easily lose the humanity of your story if you aren't vigilant. Finally, there is a scene late in YUMA in which Russell reveals something of his childhood to Christian's character. Russell choose in rehearsal to try delivering this monologue looking downward, eyes averted, very counter intuitive choice for an actor's "big moment" yet I realized what he was doing was brilliant and bold. I improvised the shot structure in reaction to this decision so that the moment he looks up and finally reveals his eyes would be powerful. This may seem mundane but it is an example of what I am saying. If I had already had this scene fully "imagined" and sketched out on boards I might have doubted his choice as it was "contradicting" my vision. Of course, the boards themselves are never the problem, they are just paper, it is the attitude of the film maker regarding them as Vader smartly points out that can in some situations be destructive. I agree. I presume Vader is a graphic artist so I guess hit a hot button for him/her..

But I have to disagree with some of your statements regarding the lack of Hollywood money being pumped into the western genre. It comes down to the same reasons remakes, especially of horror movies, are in vogue. Money and quality (or lack there of). Zombie's Halloween, could have been worse, could have been better, but it's a guaranteed opening weekend. And westerns, or at least most of the ones that have been made recently, aren't lending themselves to that. Three Burials (which I consider a western) is a good movie, but not an opener. Crap like Outlaws with young hip Hollywood "talent" were built to be but didn't preform. I hope your film makes a ton of cash, but quality aside, I won't be surprised if it won't. What the genre needs is the same kind of thing that brought it back in the mid to late sixties - a visionary new style, a la spaghetti, and it's torch bearer Leone. I'd love to see some low budget productions head in that kind of direction, but move the style forward. I thought RR might be the guy to do it after I saw El Marichi and Desperado, but as of yet, there isn't too much to write home about. I can even respect films like Nick Cave's The Propisition attempting a more lyrical approach, but that does not make a good, or even more importantly (in the realm of kickstarting the genre again) successful film. Basically, I'm just saying we need better westerns, one after the other, because a genre on life support can't blow it's chances, especailly if it wants a revival similar to what Lord Of The Rings did for fantasy.

I don't consider what you are doing to be the same kind of morally bankrupt attempt we've been seeing so much of lately. Sounds like a labor of love... and not to sound like a kiss ass, but that's the most you can ask from any filmmaker, misguided or otherwise... regardless of talent, which I don't think you have a plethora of.

(if it's cool to call you that), I do appreciate it. You're right that I'm a board/concept artist and therefore maybe I overreacted a bit as I alluded. I did try to divorce my subjective role as a board artist though from my comments about the objective use of boards in the collaborative process of filmmaking. As I guessed you seem to have a very inclusive opinion of all the pieces of the puzzle rather than an ego-driven exclusive one and I particularly enjoyed the comments about the sound mix as it pertains to levels and giving each thing its due.
 I must admit that I didn't get that the board comments were in pointed reference to you making this particular film/western and the specific issue of context/appropriate use. You can understand I'm sure my issue of many parts of pre being downplayed in the media and therefore the fans' slanted view of them. Similar to the misunderstanding about directors' motives and how for example emotional logic can be as or more important to storytelling and tone than straight out literal logic. On these boards I see many fans taking an incredibly literal view of things whether appropriate or not and often don't realise the emotional logic consideration can extend to physical things like design for example. Another reason I tend to play Devil's Advocate and bring up "the other side" of things!
 The boarding thing does bring up one more point however. I actually use stunt/action sequences as an analogy for how boards (especially in respect to effects sequences) can (note the CAN) disrupt the director's style when it comes to cinematic storytelling, as action sequences can likewise be driven by altered considerations, like safety and chiefly not showing a stuntman's face and therefore change lenses to give the impression of danger or camera position or framing so as not to give the double's game away. I'm intentionally leaving digital face replacement out here for simplicity's sake.
 Getting back to Spielberg for convenience' sake, everyone loves the scene in Raiders with the truck (oh to concede the point yes you're right he doesn't board as much anymore and as I said he does throw it away but conversely he is getting more into pre-vis), but surely you'd agree that the considerations of digging the ditch meant a forced profile shot so as not to show the ditch and actual slow speed of the truck, and other typical rear and long shots to not reveal the double's identity. Of course the pace and editing was masterful, which helps! I'm just saying that even in 'analogue' days the director's general flow of shot progression could be altered in the same way as a 'typically boarded sequence'. Can we agree, or agree to disagree here? Hopefully I'm not coming off as too full of myself. I don't mean to.
 Great story about Rusty's "looking down" buildup/setup.
 Yep there was a lot of press manip with Hitchcock being a showman was pretty good at it himself but one of the reasons for the comment was about a film whose name I can't remember for the life of me where the studio was panicked because he wouldn't and didn't shoot coverage. I need to go look that one one up I guess!
 Anyway thanks again for your response, - Matt.

A very interesting interview, but I'm worried about Mr. Mangold's thoughts on the western genre being in danger of dying out. Not only do I love Westerns, I write them (e.g., Shalom On The Range by Michael S. Katz--it's OK to chuckle at the title, it's supposed to be a comedy adventure, guys). My take has always been that Westerns aren't more popular because they're typically shot in drab colors, and today's population needs bright colors and gimmicks to draw them in. For that reason (in my opinion), Shanghai Noon did so well: colorful Chinese clothes and settings, kung fu action and stunts all set it apart. On the other hand, Deadwood (which I loved and miss) was nothing but shades of brown and tan and people who watch dramas get bored after a while. I don't see the Old West with Mr. Mangold's cynical view (he sees it as an American fever dream of violence, etc.). Sure, that was part of the West, and I even touch upon such issues in my own writing. But Western movies can--and should-- bring us back to a time when good and evil were easy to discern. I compare it to the resurgence of superhero movies--just try stopping them from coming out now. I think it's because you can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys. And in this day of having to worry about whether your neighbor is a mad bomber or sniper, it's comforting to be presented with material that doesn't present such confusion. Westerns can be that material, too, if presented in the right way. I also agree that some new method of presenting them needs to be found, but it would take a pioneer with vision and power, like Stephen Spielberg producing a Western movie to be directed by John Woo (is Woo still around?).

Hi, I want to thank you for your films (especially Heavy and CL) and for appearing here, as I assume it is you, as black boxes seem hard to come by. I want to ask about Walk the Line. I was an extra there, in Memphis, and also a spy for this site. I always wanted to know if spy reports were something the production cared about, minded, or even noticed. I sent in a scoop after the casting call and always felt I missed the chance to break news about the leads singing their songs, which the woman said but I idiotically forgot to write down. Later, after that was published, someone came up to me on the set, and out of nowhere started talking to me about the opening scene of the script. When I sent my next report to Aintitcool, they didn't print it. I always wondered if I stuck out like a sore thumb and you guys supplied me false information. But I mean that with respect, and I apologize if scoops on this site are something you care about (I have a feeling that this is more like hearing the opinions of an usher whose theater once ran your movie). Also, as punishment, I did a lot of sitting around in period costume in extreme heat in a gymnasium and auditorium, with water coming not so often, and there was this weird adversarial relationship that developed between the extras and the AD or whoever he was, who one day had a black eye? Supposedly all the PAs were eventually let go? Whatever it was, women lifting their 1950's dresses up to so ventilation tubes piping cold air can hit their legs in a 90 degree auditorium is what I think of when I think of Walk the Line. One of the highlights on that film was getting to see you set up a shot. Please keep making movies that matter to you.

 And everyone's heard of 3:10 to Yuma. WTF? That reminds me of the time that Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington said that no one had seen The Manchurian Candidate (because they hadn't). And then the guy interviewing them was like "It's my favorite movie." Does everyone in Hollywood think that the average person only knows what they do?

The National Institute of Communicable of Diseases has said there is no typhoid outbreak in Johannesburg.
Shopprice Australia
Four cases of typhoid detected in Johannesburg over the past two weeks were investigated by the health department and found to be unrelated. A 27-year-old woman died from typhoid at the Charlotte Maxeke Hospital after returning from Malawi and Mozambique recently. The department's outbreak response teams visited the homes of the four patients in Hillbrow, Yeoville, Palm Springs and Edenvale at the weekend to investigate if the cases were linked.
Typhoid is spread by contaminated food or water. Causing fever, headaches, stomach pains and joint pains, it is usually treatable with antibiotics. Gauteng health department spokesman Steve Mabona said doctors, nurses and the public needed to be aware that fever, headache and abdominal pains were symptoms of typhoid.
"Health professionals are advised to test such patients for typhoid. If this is not possible they must be referred to institutions capable of such testing," Mabona said. Mabona said two of the patients had travelled back from Zimbabwe together and a third, who died, had recently returned from Malawi and Mozambique. Lucille Blumberg, deputy director of the National Institute of Communicable Diseases, said that although it was unusual to have so many cases of typhoid at the same time, typhoid itself was not uncommon.
"There are a few hundred cases of typhoid a year in South Africa. It can be serious, but it usually responds to antibiotics." Despite reports suggesting that the typhoid bacteria that had infected the Johannesburg patients were an antibiotic-resistant strain, Blumberg said none of them was. Malaria is the disease to which most travellers are at risk. Doctors routinely test for malaria in all patients who complain of headache and fever and have recently travelled to a malaria region.

A recent strategic planning process revealed a labor force of about 44,000 in Randolph County. Small business owners, their employees and the self-employed comprise more than half of that force. Randolph County Manager Hal Johnson attributes the strength and success of small businesses to low tax rates and location.
"The one thing Randolph County has that no one else does is location," Johnson said. "It is the center of the state and the center of the Eastern Seaboard."
When you factor in a highway network passing through the county that includes interstates 73, 74, 85 and easy access to I-40, the county is naturally set up for success in large industry, agriculture and small business. In addition to attracting and supporting big business and industry, the county's strategic plan includes working with local organizations to develop support networks and resources for continued small business growth and sustainability.
Agriculture accounts for about 15 percent of the county's workforce. The county recently purchased 104 acres on Dixie Drive in Asheboro for the purpose of building the Agri-Business Civic Center. The site is centrally located in the county and state, is accessible from major highways and is near hotels, shopping and restaurants. It will be used to promote agriculture, which accounted for $589 million in revenues in 2015, making it the county's No. 1 industry.
Manufacturing is a significant part of the county's large business and industry, which accounts for about 34 percent of the local workforce. Manufacturing has changed dramatically in recent years due to advances in technology. That is why Randolph Community College has partnered with organizations, such as the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce, Edge Factor, area schools and local industry, to close both the interest and skills gaps that exist in manufacturing.
Collaborative efforts have resulted in the launch of Reality Redesigned, a team competition for teens, and the development of Apprenticeship Randolph, which pairs high school students with manufacturing companies in a four-year program. Successful completion of the apprenticeship, which is free for students, earns each student a Manufacturing Technology Associate in Applied Science degree as well as a portable Journeyman's certificate issued by the N.C. Department of Commerce and U.S. Department of Labor.

Kaleta in for Sabres after sitting out one extra gameby Arpon Basu
MONTREAL -- The Buffalo Sabres will be putting Patrick Kaleta back in the lineup Tuesday for their game against the Montreal Canadiens.
Kaleta was held out of Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Washington Capitals in what would have been his first game back after serving a five-game suspension for boarding Brad Richards of the New York Rangers. Kaleta voiced his frustration in being held out through the media following the team's morning skate Sunday and was reprimanded for doing so following the game by goaltender Ryan Miller.
Kaleta said he and Miller, former roommates on the road, have cleared the air and there's nothing to be concerned about.
"We talked about it right off the bat," Kaleta said. "It was a little misunderstanding. Like I said, he's my brother. I have my blood brother at home, you say things, you fight. But he's my family. I've been his roommate for the past three years, we have an awesome bond together. I have his back 100 percent, no matter what happens."
Sabres interim coach Ron Rolston had suggested Kaleta may need to change the way he plays in explaining his decision to keep Kaleta out Sunday, but his tune changed somewhat Tuesday. Rolston said the decision was based more on wanting to keep his lineup intact following a 4-3 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators, and that Kaleta needs to continue playing his physical style to be effective.
"He's got to play the way he is. If he doesn't, then we're taking away what he gives to the team," Rolston said. "He's just got to find the line that he can play on and below and not go over the line. But if you take away his game, then you take away him as a player, so we want that attitude out there."
Jhonas Enroth will get his fifth start of the season in goal for the Sabres, his second in the span of a week. Enroth stopped 32 of 33 shots in a 3-1 win against the Rangers last Tuesday.
For the Canadiens, Colby Armstrong will be promoted to the third line, with Lars Eller and rookie Alex Galchenyuk, and rookie Gabriel Dumont will be given a shot at center of the fourth line after playing on Eller's right wing the past three games.
Here is how the projected lineups for the Sabres and Canadiens look for their game Tuesday:
Steve Ott - Cody Hodgson - Jason Pominville
Thomas Vanek - Tyler Ennis - Ville Leino
Drew Stafford - Jochen Hecht - Patrick Kaleta
Marcus Foligno - Kevin Porter - Brian Flynn
Tyler Myers - Christian Ehrhoff
Scratched: John Scott, Nathan Gerbe
Injured: Andrej Sekera (knee)
Michael Ryder - Tomas Plekanec - Brian Gionta
Max Pacioretty - David Desharnais - Brendan Gallagher
Alex Galchenyuk - Lars Eller - Colby Armstrong
Travis Moen - Gabriel Dumont - Ryan White
Francis Bouillon - Jarred Tinordi
Scratched: Tomas Kaberle
Injured: Rene Bourque (concussion), Raphael Diaz (concussion), Brandon Prust (shoulder), Yannick Weber (knee)

Press release
IFRS resource accounts imminent, says FRAB
The Financial Reporting Advisory Board has published its thirteenth annual report.
The Financial Reporting Advisory Board (FRAB) today published its 13th annual report, which highlights that the FRAB is encouraged with the progress made by government departments in the challenging task of delivering resource accounts based on international financial reporting standard (IFRS) for 2009-10.
In its 2009 report, the FRAB highlighted that the move to IFRS was a challenging project. However, it noted that the measures introduced by the Treasury, its IFRS trigger point strategy combined with the introduction of additional governance arrangements to oversee the final stages of the IFRS project, was beginning to show satisfactory results. The FRAB reported that it would continue to monitor progress with the project.
Commenting on this year's report, Elwyn Eilledge CBE, who recently stepped down as FRAB Chairman, said:
The introduction of IFRS based financial reporting, leading to the production of the first IFRS based resource accounts to be laid before Parliament, has been a testing exercise for many government departments, but reports received by the Board have indicated that their progress has been very encouraging.
The Treasury expects departments to lay their IFRS resource accounts before the House of Commons by the parliamentary summer recess. The first of these resource accounts has already been laid, and early indications are that all remaining resource accounts are expected to meet the deadline.
Whilst the laying of these resource accounts has just begun, their imminent arrival before Parliament will ensure that the Government is at the forefront of achieving the highest possible standards in financial reporting. All those involved in the delivery of this important project should be congratulated.
The report also acknowledges the Treasury's efforts on ongoing issues of interest to the Board, in particular its work on the Alignment (Clear Line of Sight) Project. The FRAB reports that the alignment proposals, previously agreed in principle by the Board, have now been agreed in detail and are being introduced to improve the alignment of budgets, Estimates and resource accounts.
These improvements include a change to the departmental resource accounting boundary from 1 April 2011, which will result in the consolidation of executive non-departmental public bodies and other similar bodies, which is something the Board has encouraged in many of its previous reports.
Looking ahead, the Board expects to consider publications issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) that may impact on future public sector accounting.

This is the card that I made for the Cupcake Craft challenge "cute as a bug". My sister had this adorable Magnolia image, Tilda with a bumble bee. I wanted Tilda's clothes to match the bee but though making her shirt and socks black and yellow would be too much. I was wrong and it turned out adorable. The paper was made by stamping the bee part from a stamp all over a sheet of white cardstock. You can't tell but the bees are embossed. It turned out very well I think.

Singer and multi-instrumentalist RebbeSoul, a decidedly unorthodox voice in popular Jewish music, packs an eclectic armament (guitars, mandolin, balalaika, bass, keyboards, Middle Eastern percussion and digital sleight-of-hand). Sampling widely from traditional Jewish and Arabic music, rock, funk and hip-hop, he forges a danceable fusion defying easy categorization. An anthem to peace in the Middle East, Change The World issues a compelling call in "Shalom," inquiring pointedly against insistent Levantine percussion, "Why can't it be now, why can't it be today?" "Esa Enia," an Old Testament text attributed to King David, adapted by Reb Schlomo Carlebach, enlists the lyrical talents of Neshama Carlebach and rapper Prophet X, with Hendrix-inspired guitar and a driving Middle-Eastern rhythm. In the album's most subtle offering, "Qaafilah" weaves an irresistible bass-and-percussion hook through a tasteful, feedback-dappled guitar solo, yeoman work by Palestinian violinist Nabil Azzam, and a vocal allusion to the Islamic call to prayer. Closing with an affecting vocal effort on "Avinu," a reflective interpretation of a traditional text, RebbeSoul crafts an energetic sound that may just deliver upon the title's promise.

As Lefty Brewer dropped from the sky on a moonless night 70 years ago, he probably wasn't thinking about what he was doing six years earlier to the day.
Instead of a blackened face and Army fatigues, Brewer was wearing a St. Augustine Saints uniform. Trying to beat the Orlando Senators was a lot easier than trying to topple the Third Reich.

Inside the insane 50,000-watt Ibiza speaker stack built by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy
One of the most impressive sound systems on the planet
Image credit: Robert Martin
The sound system is the foundation on which entire genres of music have been built. A hulking, pulsating, blinking mass of wood, metal and plastic that delivers one crucial thing to any party — volume. Without the sound system, we wouldn't have reggae, ska, dub, disco, or funk. We wouldn't have house, techno, synthpop, trance, hip-hop or dubstep. Without the sound system, we'd still be dancing the fox-trot.
No one knows that better than James Murphy, the frontman of sadly defunct LCD Soundsystem, who spent his 20s working as an audio engineer before getting distracted by becoming a rockstar. But Murphy's going back to his roots, working with mashup pioneers David and Stephen Dewaele — better known as Soulwax and 2manyDJs — to put together his dream sound-system for a three-night residency in Manchester namedDespacio.
Despacio is Spanish for "slow," which the Dewaele brothers originally intended to use for a night in Ibiza playing records between 95 and 115 bpm. "We've really been into the concept of taking records and slowing them down on the turntables to produce this swampy, sexier effect," explains David. "When we moved it to Manchester we just stuck with it."
A huge 50,000-watt rig has been designed by the trio down to the very last detail, consisting of eight enormous 11-foot speaker stacks, positioned in a circle pointing at the audience in the center. It's been tuned for optimum sound quality, not maximum loudness. "The system is like a dinosaur, if dinosaurs had survived and evolved along with modern creatures," James says.

He explains: "The old disco systems were just sound systems, really. Big hi-fis, and similar in design to sound reinforcement systems, live systems, public address systems, and jamaican dub systems. Dub systems were the first to get really specific about large masses of people moving around to pre-recorded music. And then disco systems like theParadise Garage system started using some of the hi-fi and dub techniques to make big noises."
"As time went on, smaller, more efficient boxes and drivers were built with minor compromises to the quality but massive advantages in size, power requirements, et cetera. Each time one of these small evolutions happened, there was another small compromise (in my mind) and eventually we wound up with the modern club system. That can range anywhere from a bunch of shit piled up and run in the red to make drunk people not hear other drunk people very clearly, all the way to the modern awesome-sounding club / dance PA rigs, which, to my old-dude ears sound totally sweet if you play modern dance music, but don't tend to reproduce 'Hells Bells' particularly satisfyingly."
Despacio, on the other hand, has been designed specifically to reproduce both modern dance music and "Hells Bells" as accurately as possible. To that end, the trio will only be playing vinyl through the system. "Vinyl sounds better," James says, simply, when quizzed why he's rejecting digital music. "Why do things the easy way?" asks Stephen.
Getting the components right is important, too. They've been supplied by McIntosh, an audio equipment company founded in 1949, just before the very first sound systems were beginning to take shape in Jamaica. Its heritage includes supplying amplifiers for the Woodstock festival in 1969, and creating the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound. "Those amps are 'banuts,'" says James. "Which is a combination of bananas and nuts. All three of us have old Mcintosh amps in our studios and homes. We're longtime fans." David adds: "James is forgetting another very important reason: they look amazing! Those front plates with the blue VU meters are a design classic, and eight humongous stacks with the amps built in and the meters moving in unison will look better than most modern club lighting."
Once the three nights are complete, the system won't be dismantled. "We may eventually find a sacred space on a mystical island and build a shrine where it will live forever," says James. Stephen adds: "We'd love to do a US tour with the sound system, and we imagine that due to the sheer size and weight of the system, we will need three trucks likeEmerson, Lake, and Palmer had. The flyer should be a helicopter shot of the three trucks driving on the turnpike saying MURPHY, DEWAELE and DEWAELE on the roof."

Of course, given the collective musical talent involved in the project and how often they've worked together in the past, it seems churlish not to ask if there might be some collaboration in their future. "We've been making some 'stuff' and 'things' together for fun over the past few years, but we haven't made any decisions about if / when / how to inflict these dubious mongrel creations onto the world," says James. "The truth is that we've made some amazing music together but 'someone' has been too 'busy' tasting wine and producing popular music, so none of it has been finished yet," David adds.
Despacio is running for three consecutive nights in the ballroom of New Century House during the Manchester International Festival, from July 18th to the 20th.

"New Dunites" is a site-specific art project comprising research, an experimental augmented reality application and an interactive multimodal installation. It investigates a historically rich geographic site in an attempt to articulate and augment the interaction between human and the environment through creating a unique spatial experience that integrates the digital and the physical, of the inanimate and the animate, of the remote and the present, the visible and the invisible.
Embedded in this research and production, we are focusing on the intersection of two distinct concepts: "Archeology of the Media" -a term coined and developed by authors like Erkki Huhtamo, Friedrich Kittler and Siegfried Zielinski, that reflects on today's technologies by linking them to the socio technical deep histories out of which they emerged -and "Steps to an Ecology"- which stems from the work of the philosopher and cyberneticist Gregory Bateson-. Bateson understood "Ecology" not as something given but as a conceptual place one arrives to through careful preparation.


text: Things have been going fairly steadily downhill with my boss. I had wanted to work close to home one or two days a week, and she hard sold me into working 25 miles from home 4 days a week. It wouldn't be so bad except that gas prices here are now $3.20 a gallon, and at 20 mpg that's a lot of gas. Our gas card bill is up over $250 a month since I started working there, and it's not just the increase in gas prices! Plus, she is the type to find fault in everything. I don't mind doing her books, but she doesn't understand them at all so when I have questions about things she gets very defensive. She also is of the opinion that there isn't a right way and a wrong way, there's her way and the wrong way. So, every thing that I do, she hovers over me and watches and then tells me how to do it instead. E-mails, phone calls, filing... She tells me to put people on hold then says "listen to how I do it" and picks up the phone and says essentially the same thing I have said but in a different way. Her idea of training is "look at it, what do you think you should do with it?" But heaven forbid I should do it differently than what she would do! I'm going to tell her today that with gas prices getting so crazy I am going to look for work closer to home or with fewer days. Please cross your fingers that I don't chicken out and that she doesn't have a cow. It has been a very tense place the last few weeks, and I just can't do it anymore. My heart feels like it is going to pound out of my chest every morning!

But I couldn't buy it because it is a 20,000 fine if sold before the 2nd! Can't wait!

Do you have friggatriskaidekaphobia?
Yeah, I know it sounds like a cuss word and I swear that I didn't make it up...friggatriskaidekaphobia is better known as fear of Friday the 13th and from what I can tell, a lot of folks suffer from it. I was surfing around this morning and came across an article on MSN.com discussing how retailers will lose somewhere around $800 million today simply because people are so superstitious that they won't even leave the relative safety of their homes today. (Not me, I've already been to Wally World once today.)
It seems that Friday the 13th packs a double whammy in the field of superstitions. Friday has historically been considered to be the most unlucky day of the week. Ever since the publication of The Canterbury Tales in the 14th century, many travelers have considered Friday to be the worst day of the week to begin a journey. In Christian mythology, Friday has always been seen as unlucky because Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
As far as poor 13, I think it's bad reputation comes more from its proximity to 12 than to real "bad" stuff associated with the number. Twelve has a special place in terms of numerology. There are 12 months in the year, Jesus had 12 disciples, there were 12 major Greek gods, the 12 tribes of Israel- I could go on and on. Thirteen suffers simply for being the next number in line after the great and powerful twelve.
Historically Friday the 13th hasn't always been seen as a bad day. Arguably what put this particular day on the "lock yourself up in the house" map came on Friday, October 13, 1307. On that particular Friday the 13th, King Philip IV of France decided to declare war on the famed Knights Templar. Essentially Philip was jealous of the money and power wielded by the priest/warrior group. Philip planned his power bid well. He issued orders across France that all Knights Templar were to be rounded up on October 13 on charges including idolatry, homosexuality, defacing religious relics, financial corruption and secrecy. According to Philip, "God is not pleased. We have enemies of the faith in the kingdom." The coordinated arrest worked with dozens of French Templars being rounded up and confessing to the crimes- after a lot of torture. Supposedly Philip's executioners slathered the prisoners' feet with cooking grease and then put them over an open fire. Philip gained so much power from this that Pope Clement issued similar arrest orders for the rest of the Templars in Europe.
Conspiracy theorist that I am, the Templar story combined with the superstitions of Friday the 13th have made for some really interesting books to read. One interesting tome that I just finished is Steve Berry's The Templar Legacy (shown above). Thankfully for those of you who are afraid to leave home today, technology has made it where you can just download this to your Kindle and read your way through the bad day. Chin up...Saturday the 14th will be here before you know it.

Bah Humbug!
Who makes it through a Christmas season without a "Bah Humbug!" or a "God bless us every one?" Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim are just as much a part of the Christmas landscape as snowmen and Santa Clauses. We can thank Charles Dickens for putting this little jewel of a novella, A Christmas Carol, into our hands today, December 19th, in 1843. You often hear literary works referred to as "instant classics" and A Christmas Carol is the perfect example of such. When the novella hit the shelves in 1843, Dickens' publisher simply couldn't keep up with the demand; people in Britain were absolutely jonesing for the interesting little read.
One interesting part of the Christmas must-have of 1843 is that it almost wasn't published. Dickens wanted to publish a story about Christmas and actually rushed to get it written. He started it in October 1843 and put the finishing touches on it the first week of December, a mere 6 weeks of writing time (something I as a writer bow to Mr. Dickens for accomplishing). When Dickens presented the work to his publisher, they were happy to get it on the shelves before Christmas but only wanted to pay him a very small lump-sum payment. The publishers had screwed Dickens over with such an act before- only paying him an upfront amount and then making big bucks off of his works- so Dickens walked away and published the work at his own cost. A gamble? Most definitely! A success? Even more so- 6000 copies were sold between 12/19 and 12/25 at the equivalent of $20 each in today's money and then SEVEN more publication runs were sold out in less than 5 months.
So what was Charles Dickens trying to tell his readers with A Christmas Carol? Two things actually. First, it is a tale of morality and redemption. Ebenezer Scrooge is definitely a reprobate- cheats, steals, mistreats sweet little innocents like Bob Cratchett and Tiny Tim- but in the end, if he (and we by default) face up to our shortcomings and work harder, we have a second chance at the right kind of life.
Secondly, Dickens wrote this work at a time when Britain was trying to reestablish Christmas traditions. Back in 1644 (December 19th, the same day this book was published) Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell had dictated that the country could not celebrate anything associated with Christmas and in the ensuing centuries, old English traditions had simply faded away. That changed with Queen Victoria taking the throne and her husband Prince Albert blending his own German holiday traditions such as decorating and having Christmas trees in with the royal family's typical non-Christmas plans. Dickens was one of many authors at the time who truly believed that Britain would be a better place if such ideas took hold and were celebrated year after year.
In all the years since its original publication, A Christmas Carol has never been out of print. It has been adapted into plays, musicals and movies. And I would say that Mr. Dickens accomplished his goal- we have our traditions in place and A Christmas Carol is one of them. I fully agree with Tiny Tim, "God bless us every one."

Does one bad apple really spoil the bunch?
We've all heard the phrase, "One bad apple spoils the bunch," but where does this idea actually come from? I know it seems like a common sense thing...if you have a basket full of apples, make sure to throw away any rotten ones so they don't contaminate the good ones. But I think we all know that the literal meaning isn't necessarily what the phrase stands for.
The first known usage of the phrase is found in a list of 14th century Latin proverbs but famed English author Geoffrey Chaucer really put it on the map when he said "Better take the rotten apple from the hoard than let it lie to spoil the good ones there" in "The Cook's Tale" of The Canterbury Tales. The first American usage of the phrase is found in Poor Richard's Almanac.
By the late 19th/early 20th century in the US, it became common to use that phrase to describe the corruption in the Federal government; not everybody in the government was bad but the bad people ruined it for everyone. There was also the idea that if the one bad apple (corrupt politician) isn't removed, it will ultimately corrupt the entire bushel (the whole government).
I supposed that we can always try the "glass half full" viewpoint on this idiom if we look at it figuratively instead of applying it only to apples. Maybe a bad person will actually change his stripes and do the right thing when he sees others doing so. Call me cynical but I'm thinking not on this view.
But since it's Fall and apples are in season, make sure you look through your basket and throw away the bad ones.

Freedom isn't Free
As we sit in our own homes and live our safe and peaceful lives, it is very easy to let it slip to the back of our minds that the reason that we have this peace and freedom is because of the burden shouldered by our soldiers past and present. However, as I paraphrase the words of the great George Washington (one of the veterans we remember today) at Valley Forge, nothing is as important as the fidelity of the American soldier.
The history of Veterans Day goes back to the end of World War I. This war had been so bad that it was referred to as the "War to end all wars." At the time, people truly believed that this was the low point in modern history and we could never see another struggle so horendous (we with the benefit of hindsight know better). The official armistice, or ceasefire, of WWI occurred on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918.
Beginning in November 1919, the European and American world began to honor Armistice Day as a way to remember those who had served and those who had fallen in the War to End All Wars. President Woodrow Wilson made this comment, "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" Our first Armistice Day celebrations included parades and a suspension of all business during the 11th hour of the day.
Over time, as the United States was involved in more wars, Armistice Day was sort of expanded. Rather than simply set aside a time to remember the veterans of WWI, the day became Remembrance Day in Europe and Veterans Day in the US to honor all the veterans of the Armed Forces.
As you wake up today and set about on your normal schedule, please take a moment to remember that freedom truly isn't free. If you have the chance, hug a veteran, shake their hand and thank them for their service to this country. Remember that it isn't just remembering those who are fighing now or those who fought in World War I. Our idea of fighting for our freedom goes all the way back to the American Revolution and gives us a grand history of the American Armed Forces.

Remember...remember...the 5th of November
Remember, remember the fifth of November
the Gunpowder Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
should ever be forgot.
If you are a movie lover or history geek like me, I'm sure you've heard this phrase or seen the mask many times. It seems to have become the it thing to do for protesters to co-opt right now. But do you understand the history behind why we should remember the 5th of November?
In 1605, England was still reeling from the religious upheavals caused by King Henry VIII's Great Matter (where he converted the country from a Catholic nation to an Anglican one with the king himself as the head of the church. All so he could get under his mistress's skirts!), Bloody Mary's execution of Protestants and the great Elizabeth's idea that there was "One Jesus Christ, the rest is all a trifle." By this point, King James I was on the throne. Yep, the one who's name is associated with the Bible. James, a staunch Protestant, believed that God had put him on the throne and therefore the only person he answered to was the Almighty Himself. All the lesser peons had no right to question any of James' decisions.
James' highhandedness led to dissent amongst the English Catholics. Robert Catesby, a Catholic from the outlying areas of England, led a group of 12 people in an attempt to rectify the situation. They planned to put barrels of gunpowder under the House of Commons (the English equivalent to our House of Representatives) and blow up the building on November 5, 1605, when King James was due to be giving a speech there. The plotters planned to put James' daughter, Princess Elizabeth, on the throne as a Catholic ruler.
OK, you know how something like this goes...somebody rats them out before the big boom can happen. An anonymous letter was sent to a high-ranking noble who called in the troops. When they searched the tunnels under the Commons, they found Guy Fawkes guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder, enough to make a BIG boom! Fawkes was arrested and the rest of the Gunpowder conspirators hauled booty. Seven of the conspirators were captured but Catesby, the ringleader, was among a group killed by the king's guard. Fawkes and the captured compatriots were sentenced to death by hanging and drawing and quartering.
Beginning the next year, the English government officially recognized November 5 as a holiday. Bells were rung, special church sermons were given, all in praise of the king and his government swiftly putting down this horrendous action planned by Catesby, Fawkes and the others. All over England, common people would burn bonfires in remembrance. English colonists brought their November 5th celebrations to the New World, often getting so rowdy with their celebrations that many were afraid to participate.
This is where the story takes a twist though. By the late 19th century, what had been a celebration of the king's actions gradually became a remembrance of the conspirators' actions, having the guts to stand up against a government they believed was mistreating them. The bells were still rung and the bonfires were lit but the effigies burned of Guy Fawkes and the others began to be honored rather than reviled. The word "guy" suddenly represented a common man. In recent years, especially since the graphic novel and movie V for Vendetta, people have begun wearing Guy Fawkes masks as a form of protesting the government. Even the tremendously popular Harry Potter series had a reference to the Gunpowder Plot- J.K. Rowling named Professor Dumbledore's phoenix "Fawkes" after Guy Fawkes.
Each year in Britain, bonfires dot the towns and countryside in honor of Guy Fawkes Day or Bonfire Day, as it's often called. People still stuff scarecrows to burn effigies, now typically representing a soccer player rather than Guy Fawkes himself. Last year's effigy was Wayne Rooney; this year it's going to be Mario Balotelli, an Italian who's playing for Manchester City.
So if you are like me, walking around the house today chanting the rhyme, you can remember why you are supposed to remember the 5th of November.

Happy All Saints' Day
As we all rise from our chocolate hazed over minds and scrub off the zombie makeup to begin the first day of November, it seems like just another day. One of my former students/current Facebook friends commented, "Halloween's over; get ready for Christmas." But from a historical viewpoint, November 1 is an important day also.
October 31, All Hallows Eve, might be day that the veils between the world of the living and the world of the dead are at their thinnest, allowing those who have passed over to walk among us again, but November 1 is seen as All Saints' Day. This is the day that you go to church to pray for the saints, those who spent their lives or even sacrificed their lives for the religious cause.
In 1517, the Catholic Church was so riddled with corruption that German Augustinian monk Martin Luther had had enough. He wanted to protest to the church leadership but he knew that wouldn't do him any good. Any written protest he sent to Rome would be ignored; any spoken protest might end up with him disappearing. So Martin Luther used the October 31/November 1 holidays to his advantage.
He knew that everybody partied on All Hallow's Eve. It was fun to go out and celebrate, ignoring that little bit of fear that spirits were walking the Earth that night. Luther also knew that the next day, November 1, all the party goers would be at church to pray for the saints. This was the perfect canvas for Luther to post his protests.
Before dawn on November 1, Martin Luther snuck up to the front doors of his own church, Wittenburg Cathedral, and nailed several papers to the front doors. On these papers he had listed 95 problems that he believed high-ranking church leaders needed to address. Over time, these problems have been collectively referred to as the 95 Theses.
This was such a smart move to make. Luther knew that everybody might be bleary-eyed from the night before but they would stop to read the papers at the door. And then they would start talking about what was written there. It is often extremely difficult to make changes at the top but if you can get all the people at the bottom to talk change, change happens.
In the end, Luther got the change he wanted, just not necessarily in the way he wanted. The 95 Theses actually ended up sparking a 30 year long set of religious wars that changed history forever. From Luther's ideas, the Protestant Reformation swept through Europe, splitting the Christians in two. This was what opened the door to not only Catholicism but also Protestantism in the Christian world.

A little history about american farm animals
The first domestication of the horses was probably in the steppes of central Asia between 3000 and 4000 B.C. These first animals were kept for meat and milk. As early man became more mobile undoubtedly horses began to be used as pack animals. Oxen were being used in the Middle East at approximately 4000 B.C. for plowing. Progressively they were used on sleds, which were eventually mounted on rollers, with the final evolution of wheels. Early in the 3rd millennium B.C. there is archeological evidence that vehicles drawn by equid, generally onagers or ass hybrids, were being used in warfare. As horses from the north became more numerous the carts moved to the familiar two-wheeled chariot with spoked wheels. Due to his greater speed the horse rapidly replaced other equid as harness animals.
Feed for your Cows
The first cow in America arrived in Jamestown colony in 1611. Until the 1850's, nearly every family had its own cow. The first regular shipment of milk by railroad was between Orange County, New York, and New York City and began in 1841.
Around 9.2 million cows are being milked on 110,000 farms in the United States. More than 99% of all dairy farms are family owned and operated
