As part of my thesis research into the past, present and future realities of Detroit housing, I have started to use representational devises as a means of speculation. The current work seeks out opportunities, not in the present or future, but embedded in the past.
This current work explores possibilities for what I am calling functionalDETERIORATIONS which are those operations that seek to reframe distress as additive or generative to architecture instead of subtractive.
this is ongoing research and their will be much more coming, but for now some images...
you can check out the entire set at my new website... http://designGOOD.us
Agree with vado as usual - this totally kicks ass.
Some of the images are both captivating and thought provoking.
One question though, why have you chosen to work entirely in the digital realm and further, have you at all considered site-specific work?
I get the feeling that exploring some of these same ideas through real materials and the houses and sites themselves could potentially add a whole new level to your research.
Oh lord. I especially like the random clipped on Bucky dome. You completely capture what Detroit is about - half burned out house/half blob or wiry lines.
As an expatriated detroiter I think the concept is interesting, but these explorations are rather blithe and mildly offensive. instead of treating these houses as purely sculptural objects (i.e. ruin porn), I'd be much more interested in seeing some sort of additive "program" that reflects the people and culture of these neighborhoods and region.
I'm sure you're well aware of the Heidelberg Project - but that was borne out of an act of desperation - not a student sitting comfortably in their studio making pretty pictures on a computer 40 miles away in ann arbor
Hey Guys,
Thanks for a great feedback! These are exactly the type of responses that can help move my thesis forward.
IamGray: Your thoughts are right on track. The digital exploration to date has been a way to projectively envision these sites in different ways. However the main objective of my thesis is to produce a site-specific work in Detroit. The project will hopefully reflect the work of my thesis advisor, Catie Newell (http://cathlynnewell.com/).
I have just begun looking into potential sites and work will (hopefully) commence within the next several weeks. As you said, the injection of real materials and circumstances will add a new dimension to the project.
toasteroven: As I mentioned above, the work shown here is just a portion of a larger thesis endeavour that will hopefully move away from ideas of "ruin porn" and into areas which reframe how we look at the post-industrial city.
also, my chair is not very comfortable...
rad stuff.... check out this project, I think it has some correlation to your work:http://blogs.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2012/02/an_unmissable_architetural_ins.php
toaster obviously makes great points. I'm decidedly *not* a fan of Detroit ruin porn, as a Cranbrook grad I have spent plenty of time considering Detroit and think it's a fascinating place that needs real creativity about how to change. There have been many interesting approaches, with varying success. I hope your thesis project goes well.
But I was really just looking at these as generic-city houses, not Detroit specific.
Detroit is a very complex beast - it is not your generic "post industrial city." The city is currently being taken over by the state government - it's probably the first city in america where its citizens will have absolutely no control over who their leadership is.
You want to "reframe" how we look at the "post industrial city?" start with something that actually empowers the people who live there.
Very cool images. From them I see a photoshopped, glorified ruin porn. I'm sure you could write about it, but I don't see the speculative dimension about the future of Detroit housing. You make Detroit look very sinister and toxic - which is partly true - but from a restorative point of view, a false direction. These streets are more somber than toxic. And your resolution is a bit airy. As a Detroiter, I'm more interested in what occurs in the physical environment.
I'm always suspect about work based in Detroit that talks about propositions. I would argue that Detroit should forget about its past and reinvent itself. Is your work purely aesthetically driven as is what appears to be the case in Catie Newell's work?
Wow! I actually love these depictions of Detroit and their housing situation. These images kinda have a "Akira - Ghost In The Shell" Anime feel to them. I assuming "Film Noir" was the concept for these pieces. Anyway these are are great. Will put this page on my computer's favorite list.

A mother got shafted with a whopper credit card bill after her son racked up charges playing an online game, Asahi News reported earlier today.
The teen pestered his mom to let him play an online game (Asahi doesn't specify which). The junior high student and his mom made an agreement that he'd only play the free-to-play bit.
However, the kid got really hooked and began shelling out for in-game items, racking up a credit card bill of ¥240,000 (US$2,500). "I didn't know they cost real money," the teen was quoted as saying. Well, yeah.
The mom apparently consulted with her local consumer affairs bureau to figure out what she should do. Hint: Don't enter your credit card information in online games!

But one wild, howling waste his mind within:
But one wild, howling waste his mind within:
Addled his brain that nothing he could see;
A dunce! to read essays so loth to be!
Perverse in bearing, in temper wayward;
For human censure he had no regard.
When rich, wealth to enjoy he knew not how;
When poor, to poverty he could not bow.
Alas! what utter waste of lustrous grace!
To state, to family what a disgrace!
Of ne'er-do-wells below he was the prime,
Unfilial like him none up to this time.
Ye lads, pampered with sumptuous fare and dress,
Beware! In this youth's footsteps do not press!
But to proceed with our story.
"You have gone and changed your clothes," observed dowager lady Chia, "before being introduced to the distant guest. Why don't you yet salute your cousin?"
Pao-yü had long ago become aware of the presence of a most beautiful young lady, who, he readily concluded, must be no other than the daughter of his aunt Lin. He hastened to advance up to her, and make his bow; and after their introduction, he resumed his seat, whence he minutely scrutinised her features, (which he thought) so unlike those of all other girls.
Her two arched eyebrows, thick as clustered smoke, bore a certain not very pronounced frowning wrinkle. She had a pair of eyes, which possessed a cheerful, and yet one would say, a sad expression, overflowing with sentiment. Her face showed the prints of sorrow stamped on her two dimpled cheeks. She was beautiful, but her whole frame was the prey of a hereditary disease. The tears in her eyes glistened like small specks. Her balmy breath was so gentle. She was as demure as a lovely flower reflected in the water.
Her gait resembled a frail willow,
agitated by the wind. Her heart,
had one more aperture of intelligence;
while her ailment exceeded (in intensity) by three degrees the ailment of Hsi-Tzu.

I'm fairly sure most (all) of us feel parent/child incest is wrong, and for fairly obvious reasons.
However, if a brother and sister are very careful about pregnancy prevention or, better, one or both of them is unable to conceive, what would be wrong with it?
BTW, I'm NOT trying to decide whether to do it with my sister (LOL). This is just a question that came to mind while in a discussion with another person.
Views: 23123
At least your topic kept the "love" within the same species!
Thank you, Josh Westhoelter. That was so much clearer.
So... I believe gay sex is 100% fine and so is gay marriage. It's consensual, it's love, it's only 2 people, it's really not different at all than a straight couple doing these things. The only difference is there is no chance of an accidental pregnancy between the two gay people. And no chance that even if they used all that science has to offer, in this day and age no 1 child could be comprised of both of their DNA - although if they tried, they could get quite close in some cases, choosing a sperm donor or egg donor of one of their opposite sex siblings or something.
To some degree I agree with the points that if we allow gay marriage we should also allow brother/sister marriage (and the same is true if you swap out "sex" for the word "marriage).
I do think there are a few key differences though that are important.
Accidental pregnancies can very rarely be 100% avoided. The two most common "permanent" ways to avoid pregnancy still fail: The rate of failure of about 1 in 2000 vasectomies which is considerably better than tubal ligations for which there is one failure in every 200 to 300 cases. If an accidental pregnancy was to occur, new rules would have to be put in place that don't apply to same-sex couples. OR maybe they wouldn't, maybe them choosing to procreate is fine? Do we force incest (the subset of rape) victims to terminate their pregnancies if they don't want to? I don't think we do. It's illegal for them to have incestuous sex, right? But once a father impregnates his daughter through rape, even if the gene pool is all messed up, is she actually forced into an abortion if she doesn't want one for whatever reason (presumably religious super "pro-life" reasons but there could be others)? I don't think she is. I don't think anyone is ever forced into an abortion in the United States at least. Tell me if I'm wrong.
This law could change but should it? I'm not sure, but the question arises.
The other difference that is a significant one is the idea of well, brothers & sisters are, the vast majority of the time, raised together. There are many documented cases of brother/sister rape and it'd be somewhat important to figure out if it was way more likely that incestuous relationships would be some form of rape. We would not want to make this legal if it makes rape more likely, or other issues arise that relate to the rape side of incest.
The two most common "permanent" ways to avoid pregnancy still fail: The rate of failure of about 1 in 2000 vasectomies which is considerably better than tubal ligations for which there is one failure in every 200 to 300 cases.
People take all sorts of chances when having sex. For example, having it drunk, even though alcohol can cause various birth defects and developmental issues. In that case, all we do is warn. We don't forbid people from having sex when drunk. We expect people to behave responsibly, including if they suspect they may have done something ill advised. We don't forbid men and women (mostly women it would have to be) from having sex under the influence. We hope they do the right thing if they make a mistake. Why should sibling incest be any different?
Because a third human being is thrown into the mix. It's not really morally acceptable to "force suffering" of some kind on a new "genetically messed up" child. That's why it's different. That's the whole point. It's not about the couple getting pregnant. It's about the pregnancy potentially not being aborted and the child who is produced. It's about if it should be legally okay to force the abortion on the woman or the couple, or if it's not that big a deal for that child to exist when compared to all of the other types of children allowed to be brought into existence, or... etc. That was my only point.
The chance of something bad happening for genetic reasons is actually not huge even in cases of incest, and yet we let people pair up with each other without barging in to see if there might be some unfortunate pairing of genes. I don't get the hysteria over sibling incest when they are being responsible about pregnancy. If they're either sterile to start with or are serious about not getting pregnant then I'm not worried about it. In the vague chance that a pregnancy might occur anyway, they are likely to believe in abortion (I doubt if they'll be hyper-religious). Anyway, if we are so hot to prevent genetic anomalies, then we should be looking at every single coupling, not just marital partners but all boy/girl sexual relationships.
The shortest answer, is that my sister's so ugly, that when she was a kid, Mom had to hang a pork chop around her neck, just to get our dog to play with her - the poor kid had to sneak up on a glass, just to get a drink of water!
Genetically speaking, and face it, pregnancy is almost always an issue, no matter how much care is exercised, the likelihood increases in such instances, of two recessive genes combining to pass on a negative trait, than with two unrelated people. But the truth is, that many positive traits can be reinforced and passed on that way as well, as has been evidenced in horse-, dog-, and cattle-breeding programs.
In ancient times, such unions were far more common among royalty, in order to preserve a familial blood line. Bottom line - again, never completely eliminating the pregnancy factor - civilizations are simply stronger and more disease-resistant, that have more genetic diversity.
It certainly puts a whole new slant on the phrase, "Oh, Brother!"
Very interesting. And pleasantly brief as well. (I hate it when people don't present arguments on their own but instead want me to watch a 45 minute video. If you understand the argument, present it yourself.)
At risk of having your ire directed at me, you might want to read these two articles (They are not long and they present the research so much more eloquently than I could):
Interesting discussion by the way, you definitely poked the nest with a stick on that one.
Those studies divide into two aspects.
1) the genetic part
2) the psychosocial (taboo) part
We know that it's a taboo. No news there. And while the genetic aspect is well-known and accepted, it's still a fact that the original post was based on "suppose the couple didn't produce offspring," this eliminating the genetic factor as a consideration.
My argument is, as per a previous post, that if one pair of siblings form a relationship and it becomes seen as normal by their peers, then it is natural that others will will copy them and eventually, somewhere down the line, offspring will be produced, by accident or design, then that will be seen as normal, etc.
It is human nature and therefore, I think, should be discouraged, as it is now. As per the two articles, it is probably genetically inbuilt into most of us to not procreate with our siblings.
As an ingrained (and thus nonrational) taboo, there's little risk of it becoming commonplace or "normal."

In 1999, after decades of colonial and military rule, Nigeria began a transition to democracy. Government, non-governmental organizations, and individuals are now working together to ensure the growth of a free and fair Nigeria. The MacArthur Foundation is a long-term partner in these efforts. We have worked in Nigeria for 17 years, making over $68 million in grants to support its future.
The MacArthur Foundation does not embrace any ideology other than a commitment to free expression and reasoned discourse. Wherever we work, we try to give good, smart people the chance to exercise their talents and apply their ideals to the benefit of society.
Our work in Nigeria falls into three main categories:
The primary purpose of our grantmaking is to en- able local citizens and organizations to help shape Nigeria's democratic future. Members of our Abuja office staff are all Nigerians and are deeply committed to their country. Through our grants, we seek to demonstrate the possibilities for meaningful partnerships among the growing community of non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and public institutions. We are pleased to present this report, which describes MacArthur's programs in Nigeria and lists the organizations that are currently receiving our financial support.
During my seven years as President, I have vis- ited Nigeria five times. On each visit, I have been impressed by the tremendous progress underway. That is not to underestimate the challenges ahead, which are serious and daunting. But I believe there is reason for optimism given the energy and commitment I have seen among people across the country, people addressing Nigeria's challenges directly and working for a better future.
Central to our involvement in Nigeria is an ongoing dialogue with its citizens. We welcome your comments and questions, which can be sent to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you.

FF- Lace Up Dolls
Road Trip? Rainy indoor day? Long flight? These fun lace up dolls are great for keeping little hands busy. It's a mix between a paper doll and a lace up card. Print on card stock, cut out on the solid line, laminate (I'd highly recommend this step), use a standard hole punch on the dotted circles and tie a shoe lace or string to the bottom of the girl only, then you can change her outfits by overlaying and lacing on her clothes. *make sure to cut out the white face on the princess doll so her face will show through. Happy lacing!
Oh, and did I mention this is free? Click here to download the pdf.
**11/7/11: UPDATE Click here for the lace up doll. (the above link doesn't work anymore.)

Horizon League Wrap & Tourney PreviewPosted by Brian Goodman on March 1st, 2011
Jimmy Lemke of PantherU.com is the Horizon League Correspondent for RTC. With the conference tournament set to tip tonight, get a leg up on all things Horizon in this week's recap and postseason preview.
Tournament Preview
To be perfectly honest, the Horizon League Tournament is stacked to allow the top two seeds the ability to get into the tournament, and it's hard to argue with the success – each of the co-champions has won in the NCAA Tournament since the current format began. The funny thing is, hot teams really should be able to win the thing, and this year is no different. Except the hottest teams, Milwaukee (nine conference wins in a row) and Butler (seven) are the two best programs running into the Horizon League Tournament. The way those teams played, against the top teams all the way down to the bottom of the conference, was good enough to warrant the double-bye.
Butler's side of the bracket features some really tough teams. Cleveland State is a co-champion, the first such team to have to go four games to win it. Wright State split with Butler, and both Green Bay and UIC played Butler tough during the conference season.
The Milwaukee side of the invitational features Youngstown State, who very nearly beat everyone ahead of them at the Beeghly Center; Loyola, who actually won in the U.S. Cellular Arena against the hosts; Valparaiso, who had the #1 seed until eight days ago; and Detroit, who has all the talent in the world and fought their way into the #5 seed on the last day of the regular season.
Butler will have to play Cleveland State or someone else on their side of the bracket just to get to the conference championship, but make no mistake, they've got someone that they're looking forward to playing. Fast forward to the 4:35 mark.

A Message from COC General Director Alexander NeefBy Alexander NeefPosted in Alexander Neef
I came to the Canadian Opera Company in 2008 from France, where I was the head of casting at the Paris Opera.
Flying into Toronto, I remember a sense of extraordinary excitement about opera in this city. Seeing its landscape of glassy skyscrapers, I knew I was embarking on an exciting new phase in my artistic career in a place that welcomed and celebrated opera's provocative, empowering storytelling.

Fans are not happy with Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. That much is for sure.
He threw his third pick-six in as many games, and his second-play on Sunday helped the Seahawks rally from a 20-3 deficit to beat the Texans 23-20 in overtime.

I am gauging interest in a Season Long Football Daily Fantasy Style. The rules are as followed :
Each week you draft your lineup in the Custom League on site to be determined (most likely draftkings)
Each week we will have a Weekly winner but all scores will be added up at the end of the year to determine a Season Long winner
It can be paid or free. I was thinking if paid, a $10 or $20 buy in for the season, prizes go to top 3 highest scores at end of year(60%,30%,10%), and a $2 buy in weekly going to the top weekly winner.
Weeks 1-17 and would be the Sunday - Monday Slate, Draftkings scoring applies.
Weekly scores and results would be posted in forum and on excel
It's something I thought of, Post here if interested and what do you prefer for buy in. Ideally would like to get at least 4.

Did You Know 'Deep Blue Sea' Originally Had a Different Ending That's Never Been Released?
Everyone has a handful of films they're just compelled to watch at least once a year. For me, quite a few of those are made by the maestro of the B action movie, Renny Harlin. As it just so happens, this past weekend I was getting my Harlin fix with the incomparable double bill that is Deep Blue Sea and Mindhunters (if you've never seen this batty gem, you're sorely missing out), when fellow Harlin aficionado Fred Topel informed that he'd once seen a different ending to the movie that has never been publicly released.
Obviously the below contains spoilers for Deep Blue Sea. Then again, if you haven't seen Deep Blue Sea at this point, you're not really living, anyway, and so spoilers will have no emotional effect on your dead heart.
In the released film, Thomas Jane, LL Cool J, and Saffron Burrows all make it to the surface. One supersmart shark remains, though, and manages to make an instant meal of Burrows right as she's trying to swim to safety. The audience is on board with this death, though. After all, Burrows was the Dr. Frankenstein behind the entire operation. Sure, she's sexy and there's some tension between her and Jane's character, but Deep Blue Sea is a horror movie after all, and she needs to get her comeuppance.
Originally she didn't.
Fred Topel happened to catch a test screening of Deep Blue Sea soon after moving to L.A. in 1999, and in the version he saw, Burrows not only survived, but pulls off a crucial harpoon shot. The test audience hated this, though. And unfortunately for Harlin and the studio, this screening was only a month before the movie was set to open. So they did a very quick reshoot at Universal Studios' tank, did the ending with only Jane and Cool J surviving (the latter gets to shoot the harpoon in this one), and chomped Burrows to bits with a CGI shark.
Now, if you're thinking Topel might just be misremembering this little detail, he actually asked Harlin about it a few weeks ago. Here's part of what he had to say:
Yeah, it was one of those great surprises where we thought, okay, we hope it works. At the test screening, as you might remember, the audience was really with the movie and when Sam Jackson gets eaten, the audience was screaming and laughing and we thought, okay, it's a home run. When it came to the last seven minutes of the film, all of a sudden it just fell flat like a pancake and people kind of hated it. We were like, what the hell happened?
It just shows how sometimes you can be clueless and you're so deep in the project that you can't read the audience's mind. Basically what had happened was that the audience felt so deeply that the scientist character, the woman who was behind the whole experiment with the sharks, that it was all her fault. In their minds, she was the bad guy and in our minds, she was the heroine and we thought saving her was the key. Basically, we had test cards that said, "Kill the bitch." It was an amazing revelation.
Harlin goes on to further explain the fixes and why you need to trust audience reactions, so you should give it a read if you're a fan of the man's films. And if you are, you'll also like this enticing tidbit Topel scored about Harlin's next movie, Hercules 3D:
I have a battle scene that lasts six minutes that is all one shot, and covers a sea battle and ground battle and hand to hand combat and sword fighting, spears and bows and arrows and flying boulders, all done in one shot that never cuts. I'll give you that spoiler. That's one of the biggest shots I've ever created.

Democracy, prosperity linked
Last month in Mexico City, I walked through the halls of the Palacio Nacional, and I couldn't help but feel the impact of Diego Rivera's powerful murals depicting four centuries of Mexican history, remarkable testament to the long journey from subjugation to thriving democracy. Not so long ago, naysayers doubted that the growth of democracy in Mexico and elsewhere across the Americas would translate into better lives for the people who live there. But the story of modern-day Mexico and many other countries proves that democracy and economic stability are partners. In fact, when I travel to other regions of the world struggling with modernity and skeptical of democracy, I tell them to look to the Americas as proof of the progress that's possible. The last decade has been a story of democracy and economic achievement in Latin America and the Caribbean. The region's economies grew at a rate of 4 percent a year, trade with the United States nearly tripled, and more than 73 million people were lifted out of poverty. This transformation didn't happen overnight, and it didn't happen by accident. Rising prosperity was produced by sustained efforts to open and integrate markets, encourage innovation, and recognize that a society achieves real prosperity and economic stability by embracing inclusiveness. As the United States joins other governments of the hemisphere this week at the annual assembly of the Organization of American States in Asunción, Paraguay, we will rightly celebrate the region's economic progress and highlight the clear link between democracy and prosperity. But as we celebrate the gains, we're focused on the road ahead. The path we need to follow is crystal clear. Leaders across the hemisphere need to set aside racial differences in favor of inclusiveness, advocate for the rights of women, and recognize that sexual orientation is a private matter. They must build on economic progress by opening markets to free trade and expanding opportunities for young people eager to enter the work force. The United States is committed to working with our partners to achieve these goals. That's why we support initiatives like the Inter-American Social Protection Network, which promotes best practices on social protection and access to basic services for vulnerable groups throughout the hemisphere. It's why we give direct support to partners across the Americas, like the major, multi-year investment we are making to bolster Colombia's efforts to improve access to justice and combat human-rights violations in areas recovering from conflict. And it's why President Obama created the 100,000 Strong in the Americas initiative, which aims to dramatically increase the number and diversity of student exchanges across the hemisphere. Investing in education and opportunities for our young people is investing in our hemisphere's future. Inclusive development requires effective and accountable democratic institutions. And it requires the kind of confident leadership the Organization of American States demonstrated in expertly monitoring recent presidential elections in Panama and Colombia. Through its flagship Inter-American human-rights system, the alliance defends freedom of speech, protects civil society, and holds all the hemisphere's governments — including my own — to universal democratic principles. This work is particularly important at a time when some have proposed a false choice between development and democracy. In fact, the Americas have shown that the opposite is true: Accountable, democratic governance is the surest way to expand social and economic opportunities. Indeed, peace, security, and development are the core objectives of the OAS itself, and the reason it remains the world's oldest and most vibrant regional alliance. But we can't rest on our past. All the members of the OAS must redouble their commitment to those objectives. The United States is deeply committed to working with our OAS partners to ensure that progress continues and that the Inter-American Democratic Charter is fully implemented. That's why the OAS General Assembly was my first visit to the hemisphere after becoming secretary of state last year. And it's why I asked Deputy Secretary of State Heather Higginbottom to represent the United States at this week's gathering in Asunción. We can be immensely proud of the hemisphere's positive trajectory. But for that trajectory to continue, the United States and our OAS partners must adhere closely to our shared values of inclusion and democracy. The citizens of the hemisphere deserve nothing less at a time when so much more is possible.

Reviews & ratings
Overall appreciation
"For value for money and comfort you cant go past upgrading to standard premier, huge seats, meals delivered to your seat and plenty of space, I had a complimentary beer and my partner had a small bottle of wine. could not fault the whole experience, will definitely do it again. "
"Excelelnt and comfortable train but the waiting facilities at Paris Nord are third rate. "
"Great experience, customer service was very polite and understanding when we are a bit late for boarding. Staffs very efficient. Had a wonderful and smooth ride to London. "
"Loved this train trip. It's very convenient starting and ending in the centre of both Londn and Paris. Would recommend to others. Staff were helpful. We ordered a meal for the journey which was delicious! "
"It would be great to have an indication as to which way the seats are facing as I preFer to face forwarD when travelling. All in all it was a good trip, it would be nice to have some porters to help with the baggage. "
"We were travelling as a family of 4 from Paris to London with a reasonable amount of luggage. Check in and security were all very efficient as was the passenger loading. More space for luggage storage would be good. Train left on time and you would hardly realise you we're travelling at over 200kmh unless you looked out the window. Very smooth ride and easy exit at St Pancras. Ticket pricing is a bit of a trap so book as early as you can to avoid a nasty surprise. Avoid the expensive, poor quality canteen and bring your own snacks if you need to. Wifi on board would have been nice. Can't be that hard to provide. "
"The train trip was fantastic and I recommend this way of travel to everyone. Well priced and easy to do. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed with the service from Rail Europe. I ordered the tickets online and they were to be posted to us within 21 working days. However, they took longer than this and my attempts to contact their agent in Melbourne and emails send to them , had no success. Finally, as we were leaving to go on this trip away I had to buy two more tickets online, with the facility to print them out myself, at a cost of another 150 Euros. The day after I purchased them the Rail Europe tickets turned up. No ablility to return them so I had to swallow the cost. "
"For the means of a way to get to Paris it was ok, nothing flash, basic train travel, great food on the train and drink access. It served its purpose of getting us to paris. "
"We thoroughly enjoyed the this travel, it was relaxing, comfortable and fun. There were attendants close by if anyone needed assistance and before you know it we had revived in Paris. It would be helpful if wifi was throughout the Eurostar. "
"What a great way to travel to Paris. So much more convenient than having to travel out to airports. "
"Wonderful trip. Would definately use the service again! "
"Had an accident, needed major surgery, so had to cancel the whole of my European holiday. The ticket I bought from London to Paris was non-refundable. Will try again next year when recovered. "
"it would be great if we can choose the side we sit. We were assigned to sit opposite side. One of the member feel sick and vomit. "
"We had a great deal of difficulty finding our way from Paris Gare Lyon to Paris Nord. The directions given at the information booth at Gare Lyon was incorrect and without the assistance of locals we would not have found our way using the underground train system. There should be current transfer information given with the issue of travel vouchers. I couldn't find maps of the train systems posted anywhere in the Paris station. Travellers must also be aware they need plenty of time at Paris Nord to go through security and passport control before boarding the train. "
"A very comfortable "

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Georges Bizet
A grand classical masterpiece, Symphony in C dazzles audiences with over 50 dancers covered in Swarovski Elements and a spectacular finale uniting the entire cast.
Georges Bizet composed his Symphony in C Major when he was a 17-year-old pupil of Charles Gounod at the Paris Conservatory. The manuscript was lost for decades and was published only after it was discovered in the Conservatory's library in 1933. Balanchine first learned of the long-vanished score from Stravinsky. He required only two weeks to choreograph it as Le Palais de Cristal for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1947, where he was serving as a guest ballet master. When he revived the work the following year for New York City Ballet's first program on October 11, 1948, he simplified the sets and costumes and changed the title. The ballet has remained a vital part of the Company's repertory ever since. For the 2012 Spring Season, new costumes for the ballet were designed by Marc Happel, NYCB's Director of Costumes. The new designs were created in collaboration with Swarovski, and the production features costumes, as well as newly designed crowns, headpieces, and earrings, all created using Swarovski Elements.

LEHI, Utah — The finish to Real Salt Lake's recent marathon stretch was a dramatic one. The team came from behind in midweek with a late equalizer against Toronto FC to punch their ticket to the CONCACAF Champions League knockout stages. Another late goal against the New England Revolution on Saturday temporarily vaulted RSL into sole possession of the league lead for the first time ever before the Galaxy regained the advantage with a win over Chivas USA on Sunday.
The whirlwind of matches slows this week for RSL, who have only one match to worry about. That match, however, is against the resurgent New York Red Bulls. A 1-0 New York win over the Kansas City Wizards saw the Red Bulls go top of the Eastern Conference, and the reigning champs will be tasked with stopping a bevy of DPs as well as an on form Dane Richards.
Set Piece Magic
Whenever Javier Morales is in the match, Real Salt Lake are more dangerous off of set pieces. His pinpoint accuracy helped the team score both of their goals against the Revolution, one off a free kick and the other off of a corner. The two tallies were number 12 and 13 from set pieces for the club this season, or about a third of RSL's goals this season.
Borchers Scoring Streak
Nat Borchers is on . . . wait for it . . . a scoring streak! The bruising defender has now scored in back-to-back league games to run his season total to two. Borchers is obviously used to playing with the goal behind him as a defender, so it's only fitting that both goals have come with a reverse header into the net. The nearly identical strikes required good service, obviously, but the move is not easy to pull off, and Borchers has done so with ease in the last two matches.
"I got the patent now on the backwards header," Borchers told The Salt Lake Tribune after the match.
Saborio Dominant in the Air
As good as Borchers has been in the air in the last two matches, he'd probably concede that he's not anywhere as dominant as his teammate Álvaro Saborío in that respect. Saborío struck his 10th goal of the year against New England, to go along with his six strikes in CCL action. The goal came via an aerial assault, as have many of his scores this season. It was also his fifth game winner of the season.
"Nothing surprises me with Sabo," midfielder Will Johnson told The Salt Lake Tribune, "especially in the air. He's by far the best player I've ever played with in the air. He just overpowers you."
Frequent Flier Miles
In their recently completed 14-game, 56-day stretch, RSL racked up nearly 22,000 miles of travel across the continent. They were a remarkable 7-1-6 during that stretch while outscoring their opponents 23-12.
The last six games of the stretch were particularly grueling, coming in just an 18-day span. RSL posted a 4-0-2 mark during that period.
Supporter's Shield
Although they currently trail LA by two points in the Supporters Shield race, Real Salt Lake are keeping up with the Galaxy. They have put themselves in a surprisingly good position as they hadn't expected to stay in the race once the Galaxy were eliminated from Champions League action. It seemed at that time that LA had too many advantages in its favor.
The schedule still favors the Galaxy, as they have two out of three at home, while RSL have only one home match left. Interestingly, the sides share two common opponents in their remaining three matches: Colorado and Dallas. The remaining opponent for RSL is New York, who will host the newly minted goal machine Borchers & Co. on Saturday at Red Bull Arena.

Screen Actors Guild Awards® Honored with the Environmental Media Association's "Green Seal" Award for the Second Consecutive Year
Los Angeles (October 18, 2010) – The Screen Actors Guild Awards® has been honored for the second consecutive year with the Environmental Media Association (EMA)'s Green Seal, recognizing a production's outstanding efforts to implement sustainable initiatives and promote environmental awareness. The EMA Green Seal was presented for the green practices of the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® at the 20th Annual EMA Awards on Saturday, Oct. 16, at Warner Brothers Studios.
The Environmental Media Association along with its partner, Green Seal, created the EMA Green Seal Program to simultaneously promote sustainable production methods and provide recognition for those in the entertainment industry who've made strides in incorporating such practices. The Program includes film and television productions as well as award shows and galas. The Program's criteria cover all facets of a production and provide a practical and comprehensive guide to environmentally responsible filmmaking and event planning. In each area of focus, the criteria include specific environmental actions in order to help producers focus their greening efforts. The EMA Green Seal Program is designed to be flexible enough that any production can potentially qualify, regardless of budget or size. The Program is based on a self-assessment by the production company on how well it complies with the Program criteria developed by EMA and Green Seal.
In recognizing the SAG Awards® as a Green Seal honoree, the EMA stated: "Congratulations to SAG and Jeff Margolis Productions for their ongoing efforts to green the prestigious SAG Awards for the 2nd year in a row. They built upon their environmental program from 2009 – which included a comprehensive recycling and composting program, local and organic menu, reused stage components and red carpets, and sustainable procurement – with additional initiatives like red carpet hybrid service, a no-idling zone around the Shrine Auditorium, and green crew gift. SAG's dedication to reducing the Awards' environmental footprint has allowed them to achieve a nearly zero-waste event. In addition, SAG has limited production printing and is using double-sided printing wherever possible. SAG is also committed to greening their headquarters in Los Angeles and has embarked on a progressive program to reduce the environmental footprint of the organization's office operations."
SAG Awards executives recognized by EMA for spearheading the production's environmental efforts were Kathy Connell, Producer; Mick McCullough, Supervising Producer; Benn Fleishman, Executive in Charge of Production; Jon Brockett, Awards Coordinating Producer; Chris Carr, Production Manager and Carrie White, Publicity Manager.
The SAG Awards intends to continue and expand its green practices during this year's 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which will be simulcast live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011. Nominations will be announced Thursday, Dec. 16, 2010, telecast live on TNT and webcast on tnt.tv and tbs.com.
The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be produced by Jeff Margolis Productions in association with Screen Actors Guild Awards®, LLC. Jeff Margolis is the executive producer and director. Kathy Connell is the producer. JoBeth Williams, Daryl Anderson, Scott Bakula, Shelley Fabares and Paul Napier are producers for SAG. Gloria Fujita O'Brien and Mick McCullough are supervising producers. Benn Fleishman is executive in charge of production. Rosalind Jarrett is executive in charge of publicity. Jon Brockett is awards coordinating producer. For additional information visit www.sagawards.org.
The Environmental Media Association (EMA) is a Non-Profit 501(c)3 Organization founded in 1989 by Cindy and Alan Horn and Lyn and Norman Lear. EMA is dedicated to harnessing the power of celebrity and the media to promote sustainable lifestyles and believes through positive role modeling the entertainment community can inspire consumers to take action. The organization has grown into a diverse group of industry professionals from film, television and music dedicated to the mission of promoting environmental awareness through the entertainment business and the media. EMA serves as a valuable link between the entertainment industry and the environmental community. For more information visit www.ema-online.org.

The reboot takes a grittier, more realistic approach to Peter Parker's journey to becoming your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and sees the wall-crawler struggling to come to grips with the mysterious of disappearance of his parents. For more on the film, click here for all of our previous coverage.
During my on-camera interview with Denis Leary, who plays Police Captain George Stacy, we talked about how director Marc Webb made working on a blockbuster film feel like an indie feature, if he's seen any merchandise he's liked, playing Armor O' Malley in Gunmen, and the response to the Detroit firefighters documentary, Burn, which he executive produced. Hit the jump to check out the interview, and click on the corresponding links for my interviews with co-stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans. The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D on July 3rd.

Even while you're working, your ProZ.com profile is doing its job. The ProZ.com directory is the largest and most detailed in the industry, and hundreds of outsourcers hire via the directory every day. Profile pages (not job postings) are the most common means for clients and translators to meet.
- And that's not all.
"Totally satisfying. I became a member and it just took 3 months to meet a client. I started gradually by becoming a site member and then a Certified PRO. My investment returned following the first job on ProZ.com."

Abigail Breslin has landed the lead role in contagion thriller Peste based on Barbara Marshall's Black List screenplay. IM Global's Octane genre unit finances and launches sales in Cannes.
Mark Ponderai of House At The End Of The Street fame is directing the story about a plague that sweeps through a town and forces a girl's family to make a devastating decision.
Sheryll Clark produces and shooting is set to commence in September.
"Abigail is one of the outstanding talents of her generation," said IM Global chief Stuart Ford. "Her recent standout performances in genre hits like Zombieland, The Call and the forthcoming Ender's Game make her a perfect fit for Peste."
Breslin will next be seen in August Osage County.
