Description of problem:
gnome-sound-recorder does not work.
when I press the record button nothing happens.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start gnome-sound-recorder
2. press the record button
What sort of sound card do you have?
it is a standard IBM Thinkpad T20 . here is a message from dmesg.
Crystal 4280/46xx + AC97 Audio, version 1.28.32, 06:10:42 Jul 11 2003
cs46xx: Card found at 0xe8122000 and 0xe8000000, IRQ 11
cs46xx: Thinkpad 600X/A20/T20 (1014:0153) at 0xe8122000/0xe8000000, IRQ 11
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: CRY20 (Cirrus Logic CS4297A rev B)
it used to work in previos Red Hat releases
Doesn't work for me either. It acts like it's recording, but I get
nothing. And it also crashes occasionally while I'm testing - like
when trying to re-record nothing. :)
I have audio on the motherboard - the chipset is VIA 8235 which is AC
97 compatable. Listening is fine - recording does not work.
Gnomemeeting tells me that my driver doesn't support full duplex.
I tried uninstalling a whole bunch of the default Fedora audio
software in hopes of getting alsa working, but I'm finding the
dependencies to be far and wide.
Hopefully this will get resolved soon.
P.S. Microphone works fine - I've used it under windows xp without
incident. Feel free to contact me if you need me to test something.
I take it back. After I was able to install the alsa driver it
started working.
I cannot save wavs recorded by gnome-sound-recorder without getting a
segfault. Occasionally, the wavs are usable, but not if they're of any
size (more than 20 or 30 seconds). If the wav file would've been of
any size (say 2 minutes worth), opening the resulting wav causes a
segfault in gnome-sound-recorder. I also get the occasional segfault
during recording.
This is a backtrace that resulted from the crash after trying to open
a file saved by gnome-sound-recorder that should've been 2 minutes (or
o) of audio (g-s-r crashed during the save process):

gnome-sound-recorder crash strace
the latest gnome-sound-recorder crash strace log file
I got SB Live! 5.1 and it crashed with me as well. I think there must
be some conflict b/w OSS and ALSA.
I looks like this is very related to the "gsteamer-properties"
problem. If you try to run the test and the Input is ALSA the app will
crash. But if I change it to OSS..when I do the test I just hear
static...also after switching this to OSS I launch
gnome-sound-recorder and it doesn't crash...but it doesn't record
anything either.
My Dell C600 laptop with a clean install has the issue where you hit
record and it just stares at you.
it stopped crashing for me, too.
now it just does nothing when you click on the record button.
I get a seg fault when I hit the record button, default settings.
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
I open Gnome Sound Recorder and click on the Record button. I hear a
system sound indicating the button was clicked, but the button stays
red and nothing else happens. This works on my system in an FC1
install, but did not work in FC2T3 nor does it work in final FC2 from
a fresh install. My sound card is onboard C-Media CM8738. It plays
gnome system sounds fine, plays .ogg files fine and plays the test
sound in the Soundcard Detection applet. Sounds work fine playing
DVDs in Totem.
Same thing here too. Pressing Record does nothing. Sound card is
onboard Realtek ALC650.
I get the same behaviour with ALSA on FC 2.
I have a Intel onboard sound system and also a USB (webcam) mic. The mic
works fine on gnome meeting.
Doesn't work for me either.
I have SBLive!5.1. Listening is fine - recording does not work.
I tried gnome-alsamixer, all sliders are up, but nothing happens -
gnome-soundrecorder crashes, apps record silence.
I'm new to Linux - please help me. I can't use VoIP in Linux!
P.S. Microphone works fine - I've used it under Windows XP. Feel
free to contact me if you need me to test something.
dickmobbis @nospam@ bigmir.net
For the people experiencing crashes - can you please get a backtrace?
See: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi
For the people just getting silence: Can you try going to Sound and
Video->Volume Control, and turning the volume on "Mic" and "Capture"
all the way up?

Cannot record sound although it plays fine. Has not been an issue with
2.4 series kernels, only after upgrading from RH9 to FC2 The soundcard
is SB128 ALSA installed, using Audacity/Gnome-Sound recorder and
gnusound, no crashes, modprobe.conf below
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1370
install snd-ens1370 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1370 &&

/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1370
I have the same problem described by Phil Barnes above. The actual
recording process is fine, and the recorded file can be seen in /tmp
(e.g., /tmp/gsr-record-Untitled-12893.5EQjWV), but "Save" and "Save
As" don't work. However, this is almost certainly not related to the
main bug reported here, so I've opened a new bug #130617.
Please do not close #130617 as a duplicate of #100774 unless it can be
determined to be the same problem, which is unlikely. Bug #100774 is
described as nothing happening when record is pressed, which is NOT
what happens in #130617.
after upgrading to gstreamer-0.8.5-1 from rawhide, this bug seems to
have gotten fixed.
if people can confirm this I will close this bug.
I upgraded my FC2 to gstreamer-0.8.5-1 from rawhide, and the behaviour
is different. Pressing record now "appears to record". If I try to
save the file, it acts as though it is saving it, but it does not
create the file.
it creates the file for me.
*** Bug 132555 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
*** Bug 130617 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Seeing "Save" and "Save as" problem as described in bug 130617 (which
has been marked as a duplicate of this bug) so I'm registering my
interest in the problem against this report. Sound recorder worked
fine in RH 9 and FC1. System is a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop.
Ok so I'd like to make a decision soon whether to keep the sound
recorder or remove it. Has anyone here tried FC3 test2 or rawhide?
Did the sound recorder work for you?
Works for me in FC3t2, didn't work before.
With FC2 I see the same as described in comment 34 plus a fully
reproducible crash. To reproduce:
1. start gnome-sound-recorder
2. click "Record", record 1-2 seconds
3. click "Stop"
4. click "New", the a second window
5. in 2nd window, click "Record", see Error "ALSA device "default" is
already in use by another program."
6. click "Close", get Segmentation fault
With FC3 RC5, results are not much different. But since this is in KDE
and I used "yum install gnome-media" so I could try
gnome-sound-recorder, probably I don't quality as tester. Some symptoms:
* When I click "Record", I see no activity whatsoever except
"Recording..." in the status line. In File Information everything is
listed as "Unknown". File Size is ~1 KiB only. After clicking "Stop",
Length is 0 seconds.
* When I "Open" a WAV file and play it once, the next time I want to
play it I get an error dialog "Internal GStreamer error: pad problem.
File a bug".
* I seem unable to "Save As" an opened existing WAV file.
* Playback stutters near the end of a WAV file and file sounds
corrupted. Small pieces of the end of a file loop two times or so.
Geez, over a year and it still doesn't work!!!
gnome-sound-recorder seems to be working fine for me on a newly
installed Fedora Core 3
Record works fine within the tool under FC3.
However the saving of the file doesn't work.
1. A file in /tmp is created upon startup.
[go2002@primary tmp]$ ls -al gsr*
-rw------- 1 go2002 go2002 0 Dec 23 21:52 gsr-record-Untitled-6051.caCQfH
from the strace log
[go2002@primary tmp]$ grep gsr- ~/log
2. If I then click on record I see a second open in the strace log.
3. When I stop I see the file got written with some info:
[go2002@primary tmp]$ ls -al gsr*
-rw------- 1 go2002 go2002 285265 Dec 23 21:53
4. Now when I go to save it to disk I see the following in the strace log:
[go2002@primary tmp]$ grep gsr- ~/log
"/home/go2002/savefile.flac") = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link)
5. However if I don't close the tool I can copy the same file to my
home disk and rename it and load that in and play it back fine.
So your workaround is to just find the 'gsr-...' file in /tmp and copy
that before you exit. Must be an easy fix. No idea why the rename
above is failing.
saving to a file works fine for me.
The "save as" option is incorrectly implemented using the function rename to
move the temporarily created file on /tmp to the destination directory. The
rename function can not be used to move files to different file systems !

NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee State football team closed out camp with its final scrimmage on Saturday afternoon. The offense started fast, moving across midfield on all three drives of the live portion of the scrimmage. The defense stood tall and forced a punt on the first series, while the offense converted on the second drive as Treon Harris hit Mahlon Medley on a 15 yard touchdown pass. A Latrelle Lee sack and a tackle for loss by Justin Culpepper put a stop to the final drive.
The Tigers focused the rest of the scrimmage on situational plays. Harris was up first in the third down session with eight chances from various distances and was followed by Michael Hughes with seven plays.
The Big Blue continued with the two quarterbacks getting a chance to move the unit from the shadows of the goal posts, starting from the three yard line. Harris then ran two drives of a four minute drill with the lead before Hughes ran a two-minute drill while trailing.
The scrimmage closed with two overtime possessions. Kullen Wells ran the first series which ended in a 34 yard field goal by Coby Weiss. Harris engineered the second drive, which missed scoring as Mitchell Boudreaux's field goal attempt went off the right upright.

Defensive Coordinator Garry Fisher
- On the positives for the defense on the day
"I thought we flowed around really well. The guys are starting to gel together and learn how to play together as 11. We did a good job getting to the ball, getting after it and just playing team defense."
- On the progression of the defense during camp
"It's been a long camp, but it's given us a lot of time to have a lot of walk throughs and help the guys understand the details of the defense. We've really come a long way from the spring. Every day, the guys have been learning something and moving forward as far as learning the progression of the defense, so it's been a good camp."
Offensive Coordinator Jeff Parker
- On what he liked from the offense today
"I thought the guys competed at a high level. I was very pleased with the way they went out and competed. It's little warm. We had a three-man rotation at the tackle and a few guys who are still out with injury, but I thought they sucked it up and competed hard on the offensive line. It was our focus to try to run the ball a little bit and count on those guys, and I think they did a heck of a job."
- On how far the offense has come
"I think they've done a great job. We had a transition at the quarterback position and we have a couple of new offensive linemen, so we started from the ground up. We wanted to make sure everyone knew the calls and what we're trying to get accomplished on offense. I think everyone is caught up, so we're about to put a few more things in – a little more than expected."

My husband and I met online, we've been happily married for the past 8.25 years. It's funny because everyone is always shocked when they hear how we met. Oddly enough, My mom and step dad met online too. Must run in the family (Eugene and I met first though!) I was watching a commercial yesterday that said 1 in 5 couples meets through dating sites.
I don't know what the statistics were 8 years ago, but I'm sure they were less. The best part is we didn't use a dating site, just a random trip in a Yahoo Christian Chat room. I can't imagine what they will be when Lexi is dating age (that's 30 right?)

Pouring: A Look at Fostering Independence
At Tumbleweeds one of our favorite questions is "How are we fostering independence within our classroom?" We think about how we can foster independence in your child from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. Perhaps it's having a strong connection and bond with your child so they feel safe to explore. Maybe it's allowing your child to test our their ideas and give them ownership over their own learning. It could be through allowing them to help another child. It also happens during mealtime. Mealtime offers us Tumbleweed teachers a wealth of opportunities to explore and work on fostering independence. The child may have the chance to sit at the table, serve themselves, self-feed, decide when they are done eating or want more, clean up their own area, and many other seemingly small tasks that aid in fostering independence. One such act is pouring from the pitcher into their own glass. Cohort 5 has been working hard to master this particular act over the past few weeks!
Moving towards independently pouring first begins at a very young age. In the infant classroom children are bottle fed. When they have the desire and strength to hold the bottle on their own, they may be encouraged to do so. Once a child sits up on their own we will feed them at a small table with a plate and cup. If there is more than one child sitting up and ready for the table we all sit together for mealtimes if the childrens' schedules allow for this (ie they are all eating at the same time). When we pour into the cup we try to make sure to model the technique that we want the children to one day use for themselves: one hand on the handle and the other supporting the pitcher.
Once all the children are eating two snacks and one meal together we move to a bigger table that accommodates all of us and the teacher begins eating with the children to model serving, pouring, and portion control. The teacher may often talk aloud about their own thoughts and activities at mealtime. This shows the children when the teacher is full, when they want more food, and the actions they take in response to these wants and needs. At this time children are encouraged to begin serving themselves. When children begin to pour is often a personal decision for each teacher. For me, this time came when the children began to show interest as I poured for them. They would all watch carefully as I moved the pitcher to the table. Each child looked on with great curiosity as I poured the first cup of water or milk and didn't take their eyes off the pitcher until the last cup was poured. In my classroom, this meant that we were ready to begin pouring on our own.
In the picture above IS is working on pouring into his cup. I stand behind him and hold on to the pitcher with him- one hand on the handle and the other supporting the weight of the pitcher so the milk does not come rushing out. I relax my grip so he can feel the weight of the pitcher for himself and the tricky balance of getting the milk to come out at just the right speed.
Here HH is pouring into his small mug. Today I let my grip relax quite a bit with HH. He only needs a small amount of help to balance as the pitcher is not very full. Another important mantra here at Tumbleweeds is that we only help as much as is needed. I am mindful of this when I help to pour HH's milk and let him do as much as he feels comfortable with today.
Each child is at a different stop on their journey to self pouring. This is also part of how Tumbleweeds fosters independence. We focus on each child's individual needs and abilities rather than expecting them to master something as a group all at once. We are able to do this effectively due to the relationship we build with each child. When your work with a child is built on the bond you have with them, fostering independence becomes a journey for both you and the child.

Student Innovation Team's Exciting Plans to Redesign the Counseling Office
April 17, 2019
Student Innovation Team is a group at MHS that works to create a better school environment and a better experience for all who spend their time here. Members dedicate themselves to a year-long project on a topic of their choice, ranging from safety issues on Frontage Road to the wellness of students. Mara Hansen, Kaelin Hansen, and Curtis Bird are members of this team, and they have an important goal in mind: giving the Counseling Office a makeover. So, how are they going about this, and why is it necessary?
"I remember sitting in one of the chairs lined up against the wall and feeling like I was at the doctor's office," recalled Hansen.
"It can be hard to talk about personal problems sometimes, but the last thing we want is a student to shy away from help to avoid additional discomfort – especially in a space where you should feel anything but. I feel really fortunate to have such a wonderful counseling staff that is always there for us, and I think they would benefit from a new space as much as the students in our building would," Hansen said.
So what changes can we expect from this Student Innovation Team group?
They started with the obvious: the walls and the furniture. Rather than having rigid rows of chairs, they plan on providing a variety of seating options that can assist students needs and preferences, like whether they want to sit alone or with their peers.
Then, when talking to the counseling staff about repainting the walls, they proposed the idea of a mural. They brainstormed some ideas and hung them in the office in question. This allowed students to vote on their favorite mural design, as well as what type of music they'd like playing in the waiting area. Even simple changes can change the atmosphere dramatically, and this group hopes their ideas will do just that, especially in a positive and comfortable way.
Jennifer Stout, a counselor here at MHS, shared her hope for students to find comfort here.
"Counselors are here to help support you, to get to know you, and to help celebrate your success," she said. "We want the Counseling Office to be a place that is welcoming and supportive for all!"
Student input in these types of projects is important; it gives them a chance for their voices to be heard and helps to make direct change for not only themselves but for many to come. This will be an important change for the Counseling Office in creating a more welcoming environment where all students can feel comfortable.

Harry Potter star James Phelps makes theatre debut as Woody Allen
PUBLISHED: 16:41 08 February 2013 | UPDATED: 16:41 08 February 2013
The intimate stage of a small fringe theatre in the depths of Holloway may not have the glamour of a multi-billion pound movie franchise, but actor James Phelps isn't complaining.
After making his name as Weasley twin Fred in all eight Harry Potters, the 26-year-old launched his theatrical career at the Pleasance Theatre this week.
He stars in a surreal tale about a tall, blond Catholic teenager with one very odd mission in life – to be Woody Allen.
Speaking ahead of yesterday's opening night, he said: "I've always wanted to do theatre but never got round to it.
"Now I'm doing my first show and I'm in the lead, although I'm surrounded by pros who have done it all before. I'm nervously excited."
Phelps plays 18-year-old John O'Leary, who realises in a moment of epiphany that being the famously neurotic Jewish comedian and filmmaker is all he wants to do, despite the obvious barriers.
It comes as quite a shock to his mother when he switches faith, begins learning Yiddish and embarks on a stand-up career.
He said: "The best way to describe the play is 'quirky'. There are a lot of jokes from different Woody Allen material and it's a bit naughty as well in parts.
"My homework involved watching all his movies and trying to mirror his performances on stage.
"Getting the New York accent down was a challenge and I've had to learn some Yiddish.
"It will be interesting to see what everyone thinks, because it's really funny on the page.
"We keep getting in trouble with the producer for laughing too much."
Phelps was cast in Harry Potter at 14, alongside identical twin Oliver who played George Weasley.
He says he would not change anything about his decade as part of the most successful film series ever.
"I do miss it, but a lot of us in the cast still meet up quite a lot," he said. "I still play cricket and golf with some of the guys. We don't hang out on screen but we still meet up off screen."
One thing he doesn't miss is Fred Weasley's ginger hair. He's also relishing performing without his twin by his side.
"It's been quite fun not working with him," he said. "I mean that in a nice way! It's fun playing the one character on its own.
"I'm sure my brother has been wanting to do something like this – maybe he can be my understudy."u
n The Boy Who Was Woody Allen is at the Pleasance Theatre in Carpenters Mews, N7, from tonight until Saturday. From 7.30pm, tickets £10-£15, call box office on 020 7609 1800.

Korean Cultural Festival Brings Hunter Community Together
Roughly 220 Hunter students, family members, faculty and staff came to enjoy an evening of Korean food and culture at the annual Korean Cultural Festival held this year in Flushing, Queens on Saturday, Nov. 16. Participants learned a Korean folk song, wrote their names in Korean with brush and ink, and cheered as Hunter staff members modeled traditional Korean garb. Those were just a few highlights at the extravaganza, sponsored by the school's Korean American Parents Association, the PTA, and the High School. The annual event is a "fun" raising event, bringing the school community together to share an exquisite banquet of traditional Korean foods, and to enjoy traditional Korean performances, games, and arts and crafts. To the right, Dr. Fisher, Hunter PTA co-president Judy Weinstein, 12th grade student Sueun Hong, and HCCS director Dean Ketchum stir the many ingredients of the communal Bibimbop, Korea's signature rice dish, to kick off the banquet.

Asymptotic Behavior of the Exchange-Correlation Energy Density and the Kohn-Sham Potential in Density Functional Theory: Exact Results and Strategy for Approximations
2019-10-01T16:00:15Z (GMT) by
The present work is a review of two analytical properties of the exact exchange-correlation (xc) functional in density-functional theory. These properties are the asymptotic behavior of the xc energy density per particle and the asymptotic behavior of the Kohn-Sham potential, in finite many-electron systems. The derivation of the asymptotic forms for both quantities is reviewed, employing the concepts of the adiabatic connection and of the xc hole with relation to the first quantity and the electron exact factorization approach for the second one. Furthermore, it is shown that the correct asymptotic behavior of one of the aforementioned quantities does not guarantee a correct behavior of the other. In this process, a new quantity, the xc hole response function, is defined and its exact exchange part is analytically derived. The extent to which existing xc approximations satisfy the named exact properties is reviewed and the relationship between correct asymptotics and freedom from one-electron self-interaction in DFT is discussed. Finally, a strategy for development of advanced approximations for exchange and correlation with a correct asymptotic behavior is suggested.

Russia's Internet Market Predicted to Post Double-Digit Growth
MOSCOW—Russia's Internet market will post double-digit growth in the next few years, but the speed of growth will slow as the market reaches maturity, a new study shows.
The market is likely to grow an average of 15%-20% per year to 2018, driven mainly by advertising and e-commerce, according to a study conducted by the Russian Association for Electronic Communications and the Higher School of Economics.
Russia's Internet market has grown quickly in recent years as the number of users has spiked. Now some 66 million people—around half the country's population—are online, the most in any European country. Russia's Internet industry last year made up 1.3% of the country's gross domestic product.

Meet the real-life Singham who stood up against Sabarimala protestors
- +0
- +0
Amid intense protests in Kerala against two women pilgrims entering Sabarimala, a video of a real-life Singham - a cop standing up to protestors and trying to curb the violence - has gone viral.
Ever since the Supreme Court's landmark verdict on Sabarimala was delivered on September 28, 2018, Kerala has been a hotbed of protests. Amid the rising concern over the safety of women devotees trying to reach the holy sanctum, security across the area has been beefed up.
Recently, a video of a Tamil Nadu cop has been gaining a lot of attention online as he was caught daring protestors to torch a state-run bus.
Being hailed as a real-life Singham, the cop was identified as Sub-Inspector Mohan Iyer, who was deployed near Kaliyakkavilai, close to the Tamil Nadu and Kerala border, where the video was shot. Faced by a mob of protestors, Mohan stood up against them.
In the video, one can hear him saying, "If you're a man, come touch the vehicle."
Several protestors have carried out attacks on public transport vehicles during the ongoing protests, and even called a day-long strike on Thursday against the entry of two women, Bindu and Kanakadurga, in the Sabarimala Temple.
In an interview with the News18, Sub-Inspector Iyer said,
First, I tried to talk to them but they were not listening. The protestors were threatening that they will pelt stones at the bus and also to attack the driver. So, I spoke in our area style. This is common in our area. Immediately after that, the protesters dispersed.
For his act of bravery, Iyer has been awarded a citation letter from the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) Managing Director Thachankary with Rs 1,000, reports One India.

Project Description
Because of their unique properties derived from confining and guiding light in a hollow region rather than in a solid material, hollow optical fibers hold a great promise for a wide range of applications, including high power delivery, gas sensing, metrology, sensing, quantum optics and in particular optical communications.
Remarkable breakthroughs at the ORC over the past few years have shown that data can be transmitted over long distances in a hollow fibre, travelling much faster than in a glass fibre and with comparable data transmission capacity (>50 Tbit/s). For wide deployment of these fibers in data transmission applications, it is however imperative that their attenuation is reduced further. Significant progress made over the past few years has led to the understanding that surface scattering, leakage and microbending contribute to the ultimate attenuation and need to be reduced.
In this PhD project, the candidate will work within a world-leading team to develop theoretical models and/or experiments for the studies of loss mechanisms in hollow fibers, and to develop adequate loss reduction strategies for next generation hollow core fiber technology.
A fully funded PhD position is available for UK applicants. EU students with no external funding can contend for a small number of competitive scholarships. Students from overseas who have secured some external funding are also encouraged to apply.
To discuss any details of the project or arrange a visit, please contact Professor Francesco Poletti, (http://www.orc.soton.ac.uk/people.html?person=fp), email: email@example.com.
The PhD programme
The project will be hosted at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), a world-leading institution in optical fibre technology for the past 45 years. With more than 90 state-of-the-art laboratories and 200 researchers working in all areas of photonics, the ORC provides an outstanding interdisciplinary environment for students to grow. Besides, its cluster of ten photonics spin-out companies provides a natural career paths for PhD graduates.
The group has an excellent track record of publishing in high profile research journals and in leading international conferences. Former PhD and postdoctoral researchers from this group have made successful careers in Universities worldwide or as scientists and business leaders in industry. The quality of our research outputs, the cluster of spin-off companies and the worldwide network of successful alumni place the ORC amongst the top institutes worldwide for doctoral research.
The ORC PhD provides a solid education for a research career, http://www.orc.soton.ac.uk/phdprogram.html. In the first year a structured training programme runs in parallel with the research project, provides a gradual transition from a taught degree to the open-ended research. Students will present their work at conferences worldwide, first-author papers in leading academic journals and will emerge from the PhD with skills at the forefront of glass and fibre optics research https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2_6yNQamkU.

When I scrape a cluster of seed off my legs, I try to tell myself that they are a great native plant. They serve as a food source for deer and birds Lots of insects such as weevils, beetles, leaf eating larvae and aphids eat them, many of which are then eaten by quail. Best yet, they are the host plant for caterpillars of the Eastern Tailed Blue, Everes comyntas, and the Gray Hairstreak, Strymon melinus. OK, I guess the trade off for a picture like Jon Rapp's below is worth a little scraping of my pant legs.

John Carpenter is Ready to Score Another Halloween Film
It looks like the Master of Horror is already on board for another sequel.
By Chris Morse
After all the chatter surrounding the success of the latest Halloween movie, it would seem that another film is all but confirmed at this point. Some questions have remained, such as who will stay involved and will all of the recipes of success remain intact if the franchise continues under Blumhouse? It is looking like the answer to those questions will be a resounding "yes" with the remarks on the topic made from John Carpenter himself.
In an interview with Consequence of Sound, which has yet to be fully published, the Master of Horror was asked about his time working on David Gordon Green's sequel and what might lie ahead for the team responsible for The Shape's revival. In a surprisingly revealing fashion, Carpenter noted that he loved working on the latest Halloween project and that he'd be happy to score the sequel as well.
This is huge news considering that Carpenter's involvement is one of the major reasons this latest movie happened at all. Producer Jason Blum simply was not comfortable moving forward on the franchise without its creator and it would seem that he's willing to come on board once again, which bodes very well for Michael Myers' continued resurgence after last October's instant classic.
Since there is little doubt another Halloween sequel will be happening, you can bet that we'll have more to report on in the coming months once another sequel is officially green-lit. Be sure to follow all the latest on the franchise here on Dead Entertainment.
Halloween saw Jamie Lee Curtis return to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago. The film also starred Judy Green (Ant-Man, Jurassic World), Andi Matichak (Replicate, Orange is the New Black), Will Patton (Armageddon), and Virginia Gardner (Runaways), with James Jude Courtney and original actor Nick Castle (Escape from New York) starring as Michael Myers.
The film was directed by David Gordon Green and released on October 19th.
Jason Blum Talks Potential Halloween, Get Out Sequels
One of these is a given while there is one very specific requirement for the other to happen.

Hi there!
Wow...it seems f-o-r-e-v-e-r since I've been by for a visit. I've had fun "catching up" on your posts I've missed while away on my trip. I enjoyed them all. I always enjoy your crock pot recipes. Congrats on winning a new one. Let us know about it once you try it.
Our trip was fun although I barely had time to do a post on my own blog, which meant I didn't get to visit anyone. I've got so much "catching up" to do, but I'll do my best.

The Alice Springs community celebrated the 50th anniversary of the opening of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart church and 90 years of Catholic sacramental life in Central Australia recently with the unveiling of a new stained glass window depicting Jesus and Mary in Aboriginal art.
The huge window, based on the painting of local Arrernte woman Kathleen Wallace, was unveiled during a special ceremony on Saturday, October 12. The jubilee celebrations continued on Sunday, with a Mass celebrated by Bishop of Darwin Charles Gauci.
Parish Priest, Fr Asaeli Raass SVD, says the weekend of celebrations was a long time in the planning.
"Yes, the Parish Council and Finance Committee, the Foundation Team and the Hospitality Team planned it all together over the last year or so," Fr Raass says.
"It involved renovating the Church with the special feature being the unveiling of the window dedicated to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart sisters who worked and persevered in Central Australia since the arrival of Fr James Long MSC in the 1920s.
"And now we, as Divine Word Missionaries, have come and we build on their strength and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus."
Fr Raass says the unveiling of the window was a special day for the Arrernte people.
"It was very special and very moving, for the Arrernte people to be telling their story at the centre of this western church," he says.
"The church is built on their traditional dancing ground and it was very special for the women to dance there again after 50 years. I have never seen them dance together like that and I found it very moving."
The new stained glass window, with its distinctive Aboriginal depiction of Jesus and Mary has managed to bridge two cultures, Fr Raass says.
"If people go into the church now they know they are in Central Australia and not in a Cathedral in Sydney or Melbourne," he says.
"And yet, it is also clearly Catholic. Just a beautiful depiction of Our Lady and Jesus and the Sacred Heart."
Fr Raass says the window painting was a gift to the parish from the Eastern Central Arrernte Catholics.
"It's part of our ongoing process of reconciliation and dialogue with the spiritualities of the First Peoples of the land, involving their art, craft, storylines and how they understand God. It's not an easy process, but we believe it's crucial," he says.
"The artist, Kathleen Wallace, told me that she was so moved when she saw the window in place because she finally felt at home in a western style building. Because in the Arrernte depiction of Jesus and Mary they see themselves in the story of salvation history."
Mrs Wallace told the ABC that she drew on her traditions to design the painting.
"I thought about how my ancestors taught me, their beliefs, and I remembered how they celebrated God in their own way," she said.
"I feel so happy to see it because this is my first stained glass, and I'm so happy to give it to the parish and all of the Arrernte people of this land."
The Jubilee Mass on Sunday, October 13, was also historically significant, with Bishop Charles Gauci delivering an apology on behalf of the Diocese of Darwin and past missionaries for past mistakes.
"It was apologising for all the misunderstandings and ways we have not treated the people well, or haven't seen them on the streets," Fr Raass says.
"A jubilee is about remembering the past, which means saying sorry for all the stuff-ups. It's about acknowledging that in the past, the Arrernte people weren't encouraged to keep their language and culture, and while the missionaries of the past tried their best, we have different understandings of culture now and we can move forward in a different direction.
"There's still a long road ahead, but hopefully, with small steps like this, we will be able to all move forward together."

River Trail Meeting Tonight 5pm at Rec Center
The Animas River Trail North needs you to show up at the Rec Center tomorrow (Weds. 5.25) at 5p to show support for the extension. As you know, this is a great amenity for the entire community. An extension of the Animas River Trail north of 32nd Street to the northern City limits near the Iron Horse Inn has been in the planning stages for more than a decade. The alignments under consideration can be found here:
http://www.durangogov.org/parks/ARTNorth.cfm. It appears that option H (behind the Rec Center) stays in the railroad right of way and impacts the least homes.
Please show up-bring some friends. If there is an opportunity to speak, please express your desire to see the extension happen.
Thanks so much!
Happy Trails,
Devo's Salida Team Race #2 Report
Spring was in the air as the 40+ Durango Devo athletes, parents and coaches arrived in Salida, Colorado for their second Team Race of the 2011 race season. The Rampage by the River was the 3rd race in the Mountain States Cup Series and once again, Durango was represented heavily in every category and event.
The Devo team camped out together 2 miles east of Salida. One of the Devo Moms' Kimberly was kind enough to drive her 5th wheel into camp and provided hot healthy meals for breakfast lunch and dinner to whomever wanted in. It was the first time the team has had the eating part of race weekends perfected. So spoiled now!
Friday nights team preride of the cross country course was delayed by rain, but soon enough, the storm went away and warming up occurred. At camp that night, the team hung around the campfire and joked about our last days on earth.
Saturday morning brought amazing winds. Winds so fast that Sweet Elites Howard Grotts took the second fastest time trial of the day and won the junior cat 1 category. Teammates Sepp Kuss took 3rd and Gino Pastore finished 5th. Gino's older sister Alicia also won the junior women category easily. The U14 boys managed to sweep the podium as all 4 rode very strong with Charlie Greenberg, Keenen Desplanques, Perrin Killeen and Dylan Williamson going 1 through 4. U14 gal teammate, Sierra Trout also won her race. Coaches Sarah and Annie took 1st and 2nd in their categories.
That afternoon, the winds blew us all over the place. Some kids went back to camp and ate more of Kim's great home cooking, some went into downtown Salida and soaked up the scene, parents went for sweet Salida rides, and some took shelter and awaited the brutal Short Track race later that afternoon.
The Short Track was one tough cookie. A longish 3 minute dirt road climb, led to a technical, exposed 3 minute downhill singletrack, making it more of a circuit course race than a traditional short track. The Cat 1 boys went first and it was Devo alumni and Sweet Elite superstar, Howard Grotts all the way from the gun. In the process of winning, he set the fastest time, beating the winner of the pro mens race later that day! Teammates Stephan Davoust and Haakon Sigerslid finished 3 and 4 for another good looking Devo podium. In the Cat 1 womens race, it was Alicia Rose again with the dominating performance, making her undefeated on the year. This is here last race in the States for the next 3 weeks, as she has ben invited to Europe to compete with the USA Cycling junior development program.
In the Pro Mens race, Coach Chad Cheeney and Sweet Elite's Tad Elliott and Colton Anderson all looking to represent Devo. In the end it was Colton taking 4th, Tad 11th and Coach Chad rode off the back in 16th place. Sage Wilderman and Teal Stetson-Lee of Sweet Elite, dominated the Pro Womens race with Sage taking the win by 3 minutes and Teal sprinting for 3rd place on the finish climb. Charlie Greenberg of the U14 boys team rode strong in the last race and wo from the gun. Never giving up throughout the race, his time was the fastest Under 14 time of the day!
That night the team met in Downtown Salida for awards at the Boathouse restaurant. Hands were sore from high fiving as the podium was filled over and over with Durangoans. The festive atmosphere carried over to camp as the team meeting was followed by another great Schwag-Fest. Local cyclists and industry-men, donate cycling goods to Devo and they are given away at each team race to athletes and family. It has turned into a very exciting event.
The sunday race schedule had the juniors going last at 1:30 and 3:30pm. This made for an unusual comfy morning around camp. While most of the team slept, Coach Sarah rode her singlespeed 3 miles into town, rode the race, won the race and rode home just in time for coffee and breakfast.
The Cat 1 and 2 Boys were first to go and it again was Howard Grotts inning by a large margin. His teammate Sepp Kuss pulled out an amazing performance and finished behind him in second place for his best Cat 1 result to date. Teammates Gino Pastore. Stephan Davoust, Levi Kurlander, Haakon Sigerslid and Elliott Saslow rounded out the dominant Devo team performance and finished 4th through 8th! In the Cat 2 Boys race it was Devo rookie Nate Andrews best finish with a 3rd place. Alisha Rose won the junior girls cross country race by 21 minutes.
In the Cat 3 Boys 15-18 race it was first time racer and brand new Devo athlete Connor Yates taking the win with a sprint for the win on the final climb. Teammates Henry Larson, Chase Seivert, Andrew Cunningham and Owen Wertz finished 2nd through 5th. In the Under 14 Boys it was Keenan Desplanques winning and finishing 2nd overall with the start wave juniors, his best finish to date. River Weiss placed second and teammate Bryce Gordan ran in a front flat from a mile out to finish 4th. Teammates Perrin Killeen and Dylan Williamson finished 5th and 6th. The U14 girls race had Seirra Trout finishing 3rd to two of the fastest junior girls in the country. And last but not least, the Cat 3 15-18 girls saw U19ers India Waller and Robin Austin taking 1st ad 2nd.
The weekend was another great success for the Devo program. There were a lot of strong racing performances, but the most memorable part of the weekend had to be the great team atmosphere that was displayed throughout the event. Whether it be the parents cheering all over the course, or the finish line highfives, the campfire stories, the camp chair circles, one thing was common, the Durango Devo's were loving life.
