Yesterday's Power To The Pixel Forum at the BFI Southbank featured addresses by leaders in the field of digital media, presenting think pieces and case studies about the art, technology and business of storytelling in the digital age.
Power to the Pixel's founder Liz Rosenthal opened by noting how the industry view of cross-media production has changed. New sources of financing are starting to appear. Although there is still the prejudice to overcome that cross-media is still viewed as expensive marketing or a fad, the general move has been from a model of scarcity to one of abundance.
Today we must try to understand the audience's needs more than ever. This overarching importance of understanding and serving the audience, based on what the audience wants, seemed to be a theme of the entire day's sessions.
In the Forum's keynote address, "Storytelling V: The Audience Strikes Back", Sean Stewart [pictured] of Fourth Wall Studios explained that there have been five pivotal phases in the development of storytelling through human history: 1.) "Old Blind Guys" (The Bard), 2.) Theatre (Serial Bards), 3.) Books (Scalable Bards), 4.) Movies (Parallel, Scalable Bards) and 5.) the current Digital Storytelling (Crowd-Sourced Bards). Stewart noted that technology is key to driving forward each of these storytelling types. Stewart notes that technology forces us to change the way we tell stories.
The central feature of this "Fifth Era" of storytelling is democratisation via new technology and democratization is a paradigm that is very challenging to the existing media structures. We are used to a having absolute control over the narrative with audiences as passive consumers. Stewart explains that those days, whether we like it or not, are over. "The barbarians are at the gates. If you're used to being a tyrant, you might want to at least consider shifting to a constitutional monarchy."
Ingrid Kopp, director of digital Initiatives at the Tribeca Film Institute, shared her thoughts and experience on transmedia - thoughts "that keep me up at 4am", she said. She has been especially interested, through the Tribeca Institute's new media grants, in developing and supporting non-fiction cross-media material that addresses issues of social justice.
Of particular importance is to encourage people to create their own socially relevant media and to get away from the "White Saviour Industrial Complex" so common in the world of documentary. She emphasised that hacking culture is the way forward for media, which may include much trial and error as creators and producers try to experiment and expand the form.
"Say Cheese", the presentation by Paul Tyler, founder of Copenhagen-based Handling Ideas, addressed how technology influences not only the stories we tell, but our very behavior. The technology affects us in subtle, unconscious ways. To illustrate, he asked four attendees if he could take a photo of them, but secretly took a short video clip. Showing the clip revealed all the subtle, automatic ways we respond when a camera is pointed at us, from bunching together so we will fit in the frame to positioning our hands, body, spine in ways most friendly to the technology. We become obsessed with platforms and the devices that our stories will be accessed through, rather than the experience of the users. It is essential that we understand what the user experience is for each technology.
Tyler said we should give up trying to figure out how audiences will interact with future technology. What the technology itself will be is hard enough to predict, let alone the implications of that technology for human behavior. What we ought to devote our energy to is trying to learn how users and consumers are acting right now. "We should say no to future thinking, it's about now thinking."
Wayne Fletcher, innovation partner at advertising powerhouse McCann Erickson, offered insights in understanding audience behavior in the digital age, saying we must always try to see storytelling from the audience's perspective. We must think like the consumer and put ourselves in the shoes of the audience. He recognized this was not always an easy task and that one way to solve it was to look closely at the motivations people have to consume.
Motivational psychology has been Fletcher's field of study for many years and he has sought to learn what motivates people to consume media. At the most basic level, people use media to connect and disconnect - that is, to connect to their fellows and to disconnect from the everyday stress and experiences of their everyday lives. Media has become so ubiquitous that the absence of it produces trauma.
Fletcher cited a recent study in which a variety of people were asked to abstain from all media for 24 hours. The resulting experience included anxiety, feelings of loneliness and emptiness, and a "missing limb" feeling of having to reconnect to their devices. Fletcher said this increased understanding of the users' relationship to media will help create greater value in the stories we tell. "In transmedia, we tend to think channel first. We can no longer thinking about stories distributed across platforms but about ideas moving through them. We're not in the business of creating novelty, we're in the business of creating value."
Wendy Bernfeld of Rights Stuff gave an overview of the complexities of distribution in the digital age. Echoing Paul Tyler, she observed "You can't future gaze until you see the present." She noted that even in the past few months the digital distribution has been rapidly changing with screens and means of delivery blurring. There has been an explosion of online and VOD distributors, which present challenges to traditional exhibitions deals as well as offering great opportunities for new financing models.
She sees a new role for producers and that producers need to get involved at the earliest stages of development to try to look at different distribution possibilities early on. Films now might be available digitally before, after or simultaneously with their showing on theatrically. Bernfeld says producers should deliberately play with the windows, which can create new opportunities for funding and distribution.
In the first case study presentation, Mahyad Tousi, cofounder and CEO of New York's BoomGen Studios, offered a look at how story can be explored through what he called "sustainable storytelling". BoomGen's latest project, "Operation Ajax", is a historical piece inspired by the CIA overthrow of Iranian president Mohammed Mosaddegh in 1953. The project moves from graphic novel, to a graphic novel academic edition, a game and finally an animated feature film, all carefully designed to maximize the material and to present different aspects of it to different audiences. The interactive graphic novel has been recently beta tested by junior high school students in Silicon Valley who responded to the interactive elements and dramatic narrative.
Loc Dao, head of digital content at the National Film Board of Canada, gave an overview of the extensive transmedia work sponsored by the NFB and look at some of upcoming projects, which include a collaboration with Guy Maddin and an open source hardware experience called Black Box, developed in collaboration with Lance Weiler.
Producer Peter De Maegd presented a case study of "The Spiral", the transmedia thriller series which De Maegd has pitched at Power To The Pixel two years previously, and which just concluded to much critical praise. Cally Poplak and Tim Jones of Egmont Press presented a case study of the new multi-media app for the acclaimed War Horse, which features a variety of ways to interact with novel, including historical background, a live performance of the book by author Michael Morpugo and extensive supplementary video footage.

Went to comment on brdad's comment in the thread and boom.... it was closed! Go figure....
What's up with that?
Went to comment on brdad's comment in the thread and boom.... it was closed! Go figure....
What's up with that?
Yeah so was I...Comment that is.
Anyway, I do have an Android, and most of the time I do log my FTF's. Sometimes I have to rush off to work and I will do it later. The FTF hounds up here just aren't as high strung I guess or not so I would notice. I do know that many of the FTFers around the area don't have a smartphone. Oh well.
Happy Trails!
You know, I don't know if it is that we are high strung down here..... I just think we are a close group of friends who runs for caches when they are published. We never get upset with each other, but we sure like to tease and compete. And fortunately we all have smart phones. But I think what bothers me is when people purposely don't log an FTF quickly, even when they have the capability and know the importance to other cachers in the area. When someone who has over 5000 finds and has been caching for 6 years, gets an FTF and says in their log that they saw the notification on their smart phone and were in the area, and then they go and get the cache. Yet.... they know that they are in an area where competetive FTF runners are on the prowl on a regular basis......and still refuse to log quickly and wait five hours.... that is a shame.
I regularly run to NH down here for FTFs. Merenner and I saw several caches sit unfound for a week outside of Alton NH in the Belknap mountains so we ran over early on a Saturday morning. I didnt have cell service until I got up onto the peaks where the caches were located and then I did have service, so luckily I was able to log on location. But as we were driving out, a truck was coming towards us and on the plates it said BOATERS. Like many Geocachers, this person had vanity plates just as I have SERIOUS on my plates. And I recognized the name BOATERS from looking at caches in NH. SO I pulled over, rolled down my window and said "Just so you know, you're now running for second to finds...". The driver in the truck turns and looks at the two other people, and then turns back and smirks and says, "We have no idea what you are talking about. We were just going for a hike. However, it appears that we forgot something back home, so we will turn around and head out once you drive by". Obviously, they were cachers running for the FTF but decided to turn around and head home. They never did even bother with the caches once they knew we had found them.
I am not a cacher who won't bother if I am already on my way and close by, but sometimes if the cache is found, I may change my plan a bit and grab other caches before I get there, or go run an errand first or adjust my priorities.
So I take a vacation from full time caching and something as STUPID as this pops up? WOW! I'll post my FTF when I am good and damn ready. If you have an issue with that say it to my face and not in some snarky log post. Really people is this what this passtime has become: A bunch of juvenile techno geeks whining that people aren't INSTANTLY logging FTFs? I can't really post what I really feel because it would get this thread locked and tossed, but you can use your imaginations.
Where the hell is that thing?
Wow EvilHomer. You really ARE evil ;-)
Yeah, I'm posting a snarky log. You're right. Probably because I have never met you, and probably never would, and I'm not driving up North to say it to your face, unless you pay for my gas. I will be up that way for the next two days finishing my Delorme Challenge grids though. You can watch my SPOT map page and see where I am at every ten minutes if you feel the need to track me down. In that case, I'll politely tell you what I think. And then buy you a case of Duff Semi-Imported beer ;-)
Point PROVEN.
Where the hell is that thing?
You had a point?
I do not own a smart phone..( no comments from the peanut gallery ) but I do sometimes hike. If I were to come across an FTF in the woods, it would be some time before I would be home to log the cache. That might well be more than 5 hours. Not everyone plays the same way, and with the same technology. I cache because I enjoy it, and I will always grab the find. If I can find it....
Why not live life like it is your last day....instead of pretending to be a member of the Peter Pan Club and believing you will be around forever.
Team2Hunt. Do you own a normal cell phone? my number is 641-5711. You can feel free to call me next time from the trail that you happen upon an FTF and I'll happily post a note on the cache listing so people know it has been found. There are actually several cachers down here that will call myself, or others when they get a FTF so we can post a note on the page for them since they don't have a smartphone.
I got two FTFs on my 1000+ mile, 30 hour (no sleep) trip cleaning up the Northern Woods Delorme Grids yesterday. One was On the Way to the K.I. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...e-9d6da8102cbf
The other was Dagget Erratic http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...3-31d28105cb83
Both I logged on site even though I was quite far from civilization.
The funniest part of this complete conversation is the large number of Geocachers who do not come onto this site or chose to just not read it. They will not even know that this is an issue to anyone because all they know is the rules and requirements required by groundspeak and geocaching.com. other than that it seems to be a non-issue to most Geocachers.brdad your idea did sound like a way to play another game within the game though.

New case of mad cow disease discovered in California; First since 2006
Updated 6:50 PM ET
(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON - A new case of mad cow disease has surfaced in a dairy cow in California, but the animal was not bound for the nation's food supply and posed no danger, the Agriculture Department said Tuesday.
John Clifford, the department's chief veterinary officer, said the cow from central California did not enter the human food chain and that U.S. meat and dairy supplies are safe. It's the fourth such cow discovered in the United States since the government began inspecting for the disease to keep the food supply safe.
"There is really no cause for alarm here with regard to this animal," Clifford told reporters at a hastily convened press conference.
Clifford did not say when the disease was discovered or exactly where the cow was raised. He said the cow was at a rendering plant in Central California when the case was discovered through regular USDA sample testing.
This was an atypical mad cow case, said Jim Roth of Iowa State's Food Safety and Public Health Center, in an interview with CBS News. The cow's own brain proteins "misfolded" and caused the disease spontaneously and the cow did not catch the disease from bad feed or from another cow.
Atypical mad cow is not known to be transmissible, so neither animals nor humans could get sick from this cow.
Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), can be fatal to humans who eat tainted beef. The World Health Organization has said that tests show that humans cannot be infected by drinking milk from BSE-infected animals.
The disease is always fatal in cattle, however. There have been three confirmed cases of BSE in the United states, in a Canadian-born cow in 2003 in Washington state, in 2005 in Texas and in 2006 in Alabama.
The Agriculture Department is sharing its lab results with international animal health officials in Canada and England, Clifford said. He said the California cow is an atypical case in that it didn't get the disease from eating infected cattle feed.
In people, eating meat contaminated with BSE is linked to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, a rare and deadly nerve disease. A massive outbreak of mad cow disease in the United Kingdom that peaked in 1993 was blamed for the deaths of 180,000 cattle and more than 150 people.
As reported by CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews, there have been three deaths in America from mad cow disease -- a brain-wasting infection with no cure -- but all three victims had spent many years eating beef overseas. No American is known to have died from consuming U.S. beef since the increased testing began nine years ago.
There have been a handful of cases of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease confirmed in people living in the United States, but those were linked to meat products in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There are two concerns, reported Andrews. Beef exporters are already worried consumers in Asia will hear the words "mad cow" and slow down purchases of American beef. And even though the atypical form of the disease is not known to be a problem, no one knows what causes atypical mad cow or how many cases are going undetected.

Q&A: Plastic Piping Systems
How do I know plastic plumbing products are safe for use?
Most state drinking water regulations and local plumbing codes require PE and PEX tubing and fittings conveying drinking water to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61 to ensure components will not contribute harmful levels of contaminants to drinking water. All U.S. model plumbing codes and 46 of the 50 U.S. states require PVC drinking water system components to meet the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 61.
What is NSF/ANSI Standard 61?
NSF/ANSI Standard 61: Drinking Water System Components-Health Effects is the American National Standard for health effects of drinking water system components. It establishes the health effects requirements for the chemical contaminants and impurities that are indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components and materials used in drinking water systems.
NSF/ANSI Standard 61 is overseen by the NSF Drinking Water Additives Joint Committee comprised of representation from the regulatory community, the manufacturing industry and user groups. The American National Standards Institute accredits NSF standards development procedures to ensure a balanced committee of stakeholders develops the standards in an open process. The NSF Council of Public Health Consultants, a group of 30 representatives from academia and local, state and federal regulatory agencies, provides technical advice on and oversight of the NSF standards.
The NSF Health Advisory Board is a standing task group that consists of toxicologists from the U.S. EPA, Health Canada, state and provincial agencies, industry and private consulting firms. This group is responsible for reviewing and approving all allowable contaminant concentrations that are published in NSF/ANSI Standard 61.
How are plastic pipe, fittings and system components tested?
First, we perform a formulation review of the material to determine what possible contaminants could leach out into drinking water and what type of chemical extraction testing is necessary. Our policy does not allow lead as an ingredient within plastic pipe formulations.
We expose products to formulated exposure waters, and then analyze these exposure waters for contaminants. We use three separate formulated waters during product exposure: pH 5.0 and pH 10.0 (with 2 mg/L available chlorine for PE pipe and fittings) for extraction of metallic contaminants, and pH 8.0 for organic-based contaminants.
PE products are tested at an ambient temperature of 73° F (23° C). PEX tubing samples containing water are heated to 140° F (60° C) for domestic hot water systems or 180° F (82° C) for commercial hot systems.
Products are conditioned by exposure to the formulated waters (with the addition of 2 mg/L available chlorine for PE products) for 14 days, with water being changed on 10 of those days. We then analyze the water collected from the final 16-hour exposure period for contaminants. Any contaminants found must be below EPA or Health Canada levels for regulated contaminants. For non-regulated contaminants found, NSF/ANSI Standard 61 sets health based pass/fail levels based on review of available toxicity data using the risk assessment procedures in annex A of the standard.
What types of analyses are performed on PEX tubing?
Water exposed to PEX tubing and associated fitting systems is tested for the following contaminants as required by NSF/ANSI Standard 61:
- VOCs (Volatile organic compounds)
- Semi-volatile compounds (base neutral acid scan by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy)
- Phenolics
- Regulated metals including antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium and thallium
- Methanol
- Tertiary butyl alcohol
- MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether)
- Any other potential contaminant identified during the formulation review
These test methods are capable of detecting contaminants in water as low as 4 parts per billion (4 ppb) and lower, equivalent to a 0.0000004 percent concentration.
What types of analyses are performed on PE pipe and fittings?
Water exposed to PE pipe or fittings is tested for the following contaminants as required by NSF/ANSI 61:
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Semi-volatile compounds (base/neutral/acid target and scan by GC/MS)
- Regulated metals including antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium and thallium
- Any other potential contaminant identified during the formulation review
What types of analyses are performed on PVC products?
Water exposed to PVC products is tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phenolics, residual chloride monomer (RVCM), antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium, tin, thallium, phthalates (for flexible PVCs) and any other potential contaminant identified during the formulation review.
How do I know if plastic plumbing products meet this requirement?
Plastic pipe, fittings and system components meeting the health effects requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 61 bear either the NSF-61 mark or the NSF-pw (potable water) mark on the print string. The NSF-pw mark indicates the product meets the health requirements of NSF/ANSI 61 as well as the performance, long-term strength and quality control requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 14: Plastic Piping Components and Related Materials.
If a PEX product has only an NSF-rfh mark, this indicates the product has only been evaluated for radiant floor heating applications.
If a PVC product has only an NSF-dwv or NSF-sewer mark, the product has only been evaluated for drain, waste and vent applications or for sewer applications, respectively.
Where can I find NSF listed products?
NSF certified products can be found in our online listings.
What ensures the product consistently meets these requirements?
For products listed for potable water applications, NSF performs at least two unannounced audits of each production facility annually. During the audit, we verify the quality control tests being done by the manufacturer and that there are no modifications to the product formulation and processing. In addition, we collect samples for laboratory retesting of each product family on an annual basis.
Whom can I contact for questions?
If you have questions about the testing and certification of any NSF certified product, contact our Consumer Affairs Hotline at 800.673.8010 or our Regulatory Affairs Hotline at 877.867.3435, or email email@example.com.
Who is NSF?
Founded in 1944, NSF International is committed to protecting and improving human health and the environment on a global scale. NSF International is a global independent organization that provides standards development, product certification, testing, auditing, education and risk management for public health and the environment. Manufacturers, regulators and consumers alike look to NSF International for the development of public health standards and certification that help protect the world's food, water, health and consumer products.
In 1990, the U.S. EPA replaced its own drinking water product advisory program with NSF standards, including NSF/ANSI 61, for all materials and products that treat or come in contact with drinking water. Today, most plumbing codes require certification to NSF standards for pipes and plumbing components in commercial and residential buildings.

Faux fur patchwork jacket: H&M || Velvet burnout top: Urban Outfitters (old) || Necklaces & western belt: Vintage || Ripped knee jeans: Topshop || Platform boots: Vagabond
Starting the week with one of those outfits I've been wearing very often lately, I'm not leaving the house without some faux fur in winter. I bought this cute faux fur jacket in patchwork multi-colored details at H&M a couple of months ago when the winter collection started to drop. Back then it was a bit too warm for the unusual hot autumn weather, but now it's just right enough cozy. I combined it with a dark grey skinny jeans from Topshop (I can't live without my ripped jeans, even in winter..), some black platform boots by Vagabond and a burgundy velvet cut out top I got on sale at Urban Outfitters around 2 years ago. I really love the combination of colors I'm wearing in this outfit, to me black/white/grey/burgundy matches perfectly!
For the accessories I went for golden/bronze tones and did some tribal necklace layering. Both necklaces are vintage and originally from Kuchi and banjara tribes. My favorite jewelry!
Have a successful new week, lovers!

Biosse, Godfrey impress in front of hometown fans with dominant wins at Twin River
LINCOLN, R.I. (July 19, 2012) ŌĆō With yet another dominant performance in front of his hometown fans, Vladine Biosse proved the city of Providence still belongs to him until further notice.
Fresh off his masterful win over Joey Spina, ŌĆ£Mr. ProvidenceŌĆØ (14-1-1, 7 KOs) dominated Canadian challenger Michael Walchuk (9-6), stopping his opponent after five rounds Thursday night at the Twin River Event Center for his second consecutive win and first knockout since April of 2011.
Biosse punished Walchuk from the opening bell, dictating the pace of the fight, while Walchuk spent most of the night covering up trying to avoid damage. Biosse picked up the pace in the fifth, landing a series of damaging flows, forcing WalchukŌĆÖs corner to stop the fight at the end of the round.
BiosseŌĆÖs win highlighted an exciting night of professional boxing, presented by Jimmy BurchfieldŌĆÖs Classic Entertainment & Sports, the third installment of Twin RiverŌĆÖs Thursday Night Fight Series.
Thursday was also a successful homecoming for former world-title challenger Matt ŌĆ£Too SmoothŌĆØ Godfrey of Providence. Fighting in front of his hometown fans for the first time in five years ŌĆō and at heavyweight for the first time in his career ŌĆō Godfrey (21-3, 11 KOs) made a triumphant return, stopping Bartonsville, Pa., native Jesse Oltmanns 10 seconds into the fifth round with a barrage of rights and lefts.
Godfrey dropped Oltmanns with a quick right hook in the second round and then hurt him again toward the end of the fourth. Sensing an opportunity to end the fight, Godfrey came out swinging at the start of the fifth and staggered Oltmanns with an overhand right, forcing the referee to step just 10 seconds into the round.
The six-round special attraction between super middleweights Keith Kozlin (7-3-1, 4 KOs) of West Warwick, R.I., and Reynaldo Rodriguez (6-5-1, 3 KOs) of Woonsocket, R.I., lived up to expectations as Kozlin dominated in the rematch to earn a 58-56, 60-54, 60-54 unanimous decision victory.
Kozlin established his presence from the opening bell, scoring early and often with his signature left hook, at times landing at will. Rodriguez kept moving forward, trying to work the body, but KozlinŌĆÖs defense was nearly impenetrable, and RodriguezŌĆÖs lack of head movement proved too costly to overcome. After the two fought to a draw last summer, Kozlin promised heŌĆÖd train harder for the rematch and win convincingly, which he did Thursday.
After several months of taunts, both online and in person, ŌĆ£The Vermont BullyŌĆØ Kevin Cobbs (5-0, 1 KO) answered the bell Thursday in dominant fashion, outdueling QueensŌĆÖ Donte Wiggins (1-1) to earn a unanimous 39-36, 39-36, 39-36 decision. Wiggins promised a quick knockout at WednesdayŌĆÖs weigh-in, but Cobbs kept his composure and wisely fought on the outside, using his reach advantage to frustrate his opponent. With Wiggins needing a knockout in the fourth and final round, Cobbs secured the win with a knockdown, catching Wiggins on the temple in the closing seconds.
Welterweight Luis Cruz of Manhattan made quick work of ProvidenceŌĆÖs Jansy Rivera in the opening bout, dropping Rivera twice en route to a first-round knockout at the 1:28 mark in the professional debut for both fighters. Rivera survived the first knockdown in the opening minute, but Cruz continued to apply the pressure and finished Rivera for good with an overhand right.
In just his second professional fight, Springfield, Mass., lightweight Zack Ramsey (2-0, 2 KOs) scored another impressive knockout, this time stopping veteran Damon Antoine (10-39-2) with 49 seconds remaining in he final round. Ramsey dominated from the opening bell, sending Antoine to the canvas in the second, third and fourth rounds before earning the stoppage in the closing seconds.
Veteran Benny ŌĆ£The BossŌĆØ Costantino (7-2) of Warwick, R.I., suffered another setback in his comeback attempt as hard-hitting Dennis Ogboo (7-5, 6 KOs) of Lexington, Ky., earned the stoppage at the 1:04 mark of the final round. Ogboo utilized his height advantage, keeping Costantino at bay with his stiff, right jab, but Costantino kept fighting, doing the majority of his damage on the inside.
Early in the fourth, Ogboo backed Costantino against the ropes and unloaded a series of combinations, forcing Costantino to take a knee. The referee stopped the fight when Costantino could no longer continue due to an eye injury.
PawtucketŌĆÖs Thomas Falowo (7-1, 5 KOs) avenged the first and only loss of his career in May in dominant fashion Thursday, forcing game challenger Rahman Yusubov (8-9) of Dallas to retire after the fourth round.
The always-busy Falowo dominated from start to finish, unloading on Yusubov with his typical flurry of lefts and rights. Unable to sustain any additional damage, Yusubov quit at the end of the fourth.

Chickens and Change
The age-old riddle about why the chicken crossed the road used to puzzle me as a child. What business did a chicken have near a busy road anyways? To this city-kid, chickens belonged on my uncle's farm, in a cage, or on the table surrounded by potatoes and carrots.
When I moved to rural Turkey, however, my horizons were broadened. With greenhouses and small farms making up the majority of the neighbourhood, chickens run freely around here. Seeing a chicken cross the road is no longer a curiosity but a daily occurrence. I share the street with them on my morning walk, and it's not unusual to find them poking around the yard of our townhouse.
My nearly six years as a village girl have taught me a thing or two about chickens that I didn't know before. For one, they eat garbage. When paying a visit to the dumpster across the street, I usually toss my trash bag from a few metres away so as to avoid being alarmed by whatever creature might be snacking inside, and it's fun to guess if it will be a cat or a chicken. Secondly, they aren't fans of getting wet. I learned this after getting a little playful with the garden hose while squeegeeing the balcony. Thirdly, that whole thing about roosters crowing at dawn? I think that's just the time most people are aware of it, due to the lack of other sound at that time of morning. The ones around here crow at all hours of the day and night with no regard for the position of the sun. And finally, I've learned that if you throw a chicken out a third story window, it will flap its wings (I daresay it will fly) and land safely on its feet. It's best not to ask how I know this. :)
|Our road in its pre-paved state
During its eleven years in power, the ruling Justice and Development Party has certainly lived up to the second half of its name, and our neighbourhood's face has definitely been enhanced as a result. Recent years have seen improvements such as a sewage system, paved roads, some sit-down bus stops, and a new park on the corner with fancy one-size-fits-all exercise equipment. And last month, another development: we got a sidewalk. It's not on our street, exactly - ours is still a mixture of gravel and asphalt that's been flattened into something vaguely resembling pavement over the last few years - but on the bigger road that our street connects to. When we moved here six years ago, that road was just a wide stretch of dirt that turned into one big mud puddle when it rained. There was one squat apartment building with a bakkal (corner store) on the bottom floor, and another apartment complex down at the end, and in between that, a whole lot of rocks and nothingness.
When they paved it several years ago, the kids were all thrilled. Aside from the bus four times an hour, a few cars and the occasional horse-drawn gypsy "recycling carriage" there was hardly any traffic. It was a perfectly flat open playground in which to play and ride bikes, and they were more likely to have to pause a football game (soccer, for you North Americans) for a passing herd of sheep than anything else.
|Apparently someone thought there weren't
enough seats at the bus stop!
Every time I pass a new foundation being laid, I like to prophesy the arrival of Starbucks to our neck of the woods, but so far all we've ended up with are apartments, a curtain store, a cracker factory and a furniture store that I'm convinced is really front for some mafia operation, as I've only ever seen a total of maybe three customers ever walk through the front door.
Our lives changed most radically when, after a few months of living here, they built a Gülgen - a big-ish grocery store (think halfway between a 7-11 and a Safeway) - about an eight minute walk down the road from us. At that time, we didn't have a car yet, so it meant the difference between having to do a big shop whenever we were in town with vehicle-endowed friends and being able to pop down the street to grab chicken for dinner. There is a big sale on the sixth of every month, and our neighbours likely wonder if we are hiding ten extra people in the house for the amount of toilet paper and boxed milk that goes from the car into the house that day. Even after a stock-up trip, we still seem to need to make a run there every couple of days, and as a result of us being such loyal (or is it forgetful?) customers, the cashiers know our names, and vice versa.
For all the convenience of a big store with good prices, Gülgen's arrival hasn't been good for everyone in the neighbourhood. Of the four bakkals (corner stores that sell essentials like flour, oil, Coke, bread and cigarettes) within walking distance of our house, two of them closed down due to lack of customers after Gülgen opened. It feels a bit like those made for TV movies where a Wal-Mart arrives in town and the bakery and the Candy Shoppe with an 'e' are forced to close their doors because they can't compete.
Looking ahead to the changes that are sure to come as the city arrives in our "village," I have mixed emotions. Sure, I like the fact that there is now an ATM a ten minute walk from my house. And, yes, I'll be happy when we get a cafe in which I can sit and sip coffee while I work. But I also know that the advent of traffic lights and the inevitable McDonald's will change life here for good. And in the end, I'd rather keep my dirt road and take the bus into town for my coffee. I like things the way they are.
What are the chances that I'll still share the road with goats and sheep on my morning walk or be blessed with a bag of greens from my neighbour's field as I pass her on my way home? Will we be able to hear the voice of the eskici (collector of "old things") and the watermelon seller and the carpet fixer guy above the din of car horns and storefront music? Will there be room left in the olive grove for the ladies to make fires to bake their flatbread? And will the chickens be able to learn to look both ways before crossing the road?
If the fact that I saw these chickens using the sidewalk the other day is any indication of their ability to adapt to city life, I'd say they'll fare just fine. I only hope I can make the transition as smoothly.

Owners blame mass DHS Orders, have "never seen ammo shortages this bad"
Steve Watson
Prisonplanet.com [1]
Mar 27, 2013
Gun stores across America are resorting to bullet rationing, with store owners saying they have never seen such shortages in their lifetimes, and blaming huge ammunition purchases by the federal government.
KCTV in Kansas caught up with gun shop proprietors who said they were struggling to keep their shelves stocked, as prices soar in the face of dwindling ammo supplies.
Owner Chris Coad of UT Arms in Kansas City says that he is finding it increasingly harder to find certain kinds of bullets to fulfil orders. The store owner specifically pointed to 9mm, .40 caliber and .22 long rifle ammo.
"We're struggling to get that ammo. We're doing limits on what individuals can buy. Just like your Walmart's, Cabela's, Dicks … everyone is doing a rationing of that ammo right now." Coad told reporters, adding that the trend has gotten much worse over recent weeks, but has been ongoing for three months.
While supplies are few and far between, Coad notes that more and more people are coming to his store to buy guns and take up shooting as a hobby.
Store owners at OMB Guns in Olathe specifically pointed to recent mass orders placed by the Department of Homeland Security, as one reason for the shortages.
"You can't hit a manufacturer with that big of an order and not expect to be delayed down the chain," store manager Andy Bower said, noting that he has never seen supplies at such lows before.
"You know, supply and demand. They're trying to meet that demand they can only work so many hours a day like anyone else," Bower said.
He told reporters that even reloading kits, which enable spent ammo to be reused, are now proving hard to find.
Bower said he has overseen the installation of a virtual firing range, in an attempt to keep profits up and to keep happy customers who want to shoot target practice.
"People that aren't able to come in, spend all that money on ammo and shoot as much as they'd like to they can still have a fun time," Bower said.
As we reported yesterday [2], weapons manufacturers and suppliers to the federal government have also suggested that the DHS's huge ammo purchases, including another recent order of 360,000 .40 cal bullets, represent an attempt to dry up supplies as part of an end run around the Second Amendment.
A caller to the Michael Savage radio show, who described himself as a defense contractor and a licensed weapons manufacturer, said the goal was to "control the amount of market that's available on the commercial market at any time," by forcing manufacturers to hold back stock.
"If they periodically do this in increments, they're going to control how much ammo is available on the commercial market," said the caller, adding that the contracts with bullet manufacturers stipulate that everything made goes to the government as the number one priority before it is allowed to enter the commercial market.

Man gets 3 to 6 years in beating death outside bar
James Sullivan was beaten on St. Patrick's Day 2013 in Kittanning
A western Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to three to six years in a beating death of a man outside a bar on St. Patrick's Day last year.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that 28-year-old Dennis Rosenberger tearfully apologized Tuesday in Armstrong County Court. He was one of four men charged in the March 2013 death of 39-year-old James Sullivan of Chicora in Kittanning.
Authorities said Rosenberger acknowledged having sucker-punched Sullivan, who fell and hit his head on the pavement, fracturing his skull. He pleaded guilty in July to aggravated assault and involuntary manslaughter.
Thirty-four-year-old Keith Brison and 20-year-old Anthony Bove are awaiting trial in November on criminal homicide and aggravated assault charges. Forty-five-year-old Otilio Cosme is awaiting sentencing next month after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

Aramis Ramirez's single helps Brewers snap Phils' 5-game win streak
MILWAUKEE -- Aramis Ramirez is hoping one hit can turn around Milwaukee's struggling season.
Ramirez hit an RBI single with one out in the ninth inning, giving the Brewers a 5-4 victory over the Phillies on Friday night that ended Philadelphia's five-game winning streak.
"We know we are better than we have played so far this season," said Ramirez, who missed 23 games earlier this season with a knee sprain. "I hoping this can be a springboard to get us to start playing better."
The win was just Milwaukee's fourth in the last 11 games and the team is still 14 games below .500.
Jean Segura started the winning rally by beating out a grounder to short for an infield single off Jeremy Horst (0-2). Ryan Braun singled and Segura advanced to third base. Ramirez then lined the second pitch he saw to left field to drive in the winning run.
Ramirez said the win was more impressive because Milwaukee fought back from 4-0 deficit against Phillies ace Cliff Lee.
"Anytime you can come back and get a win against one of the best pitchers in baseball, it is a good thing," he said. "We hung around and got some hits and made it a game. That is not an easy thing to do against a pitcher like Lee."
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was pleased that he got a good outing from starting pitcher Alfredo Figaro, who started in place of the injured Marco Estrado. He went 5 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on seven hits.
"He did well," Roenicke said. "He's got good stuff and he did give us length tonight."
Reliever Francisco Rodriguez (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth inning for Milwaukee.
Roenicke also had a lot of praise for shortstop Segura, who used his speed to leg out a triple in the seventh inning and scored the tying run on an error. He also beat out an infield hit to start the ninth inning winning rally.
Segura has 19 infield hits on the season, tops in the Major Leagues.
"He really continues to play well," Roenicke said of Segura, who is hitting .339 on the season. "He's an exciting player."
Lee allowed four runs and eight hits in seven innings for the Phillies, who fell back to .500. Lee struck out eight. Lee gave up at least one hit in six of the seven innings he pitched.
Lee said he felt good on the mound, despite giving up the high number of hits.
"They've got a good offense, there's no way around it, "he said. "We had a four-nothing lead. I'm still not very happy about giving that up. But like I say, they've got a good offense and they kept grinding and pulled it out."
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said he felt very confident with a 4-0 lead and Lee on the mound.
"I felt like when we scored the four runs on them, I thought he could hold that. He usually does," Manuel said.
Philadelphia grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning. John Mayberry Jr. doubled to left field and scored on a single by Jimmy Rollins.
The Phillies added three more runs in the fourth inning. Hot hitting Dominic Brown doubled to the right field corner and scored on a single by Delmon Young. Erik Kratz then lined his eighth home run of the season to make the score 4-0.
Milwaukee finally got to Lee in the fourth inning, scoring two runs. Yuniesky Betancout's RBI double that Brown got his glove on but could not hold on to scored the first run. Figaro knocked in the second run with a groundout.
The Brewers tied it 4-all in the seventh inning. Norichika Aoki led off the inning with a walk. He scored when Segura lined a triple into the right field corner. Segura scored when Freddy Galvis' relay throw got away from Kratz.
Game notes
Aoki has struck out just 12 times in 263 plate appearances this season, the best ratio in the major leagues. He has gone 59 plate appearances without striking out, the longest streak by a Brewers player since Brady Clark went 60 appearances in 2005. ... Phillies 2B Chase Utley said Friday he believes he can rejoin the team by the middle of June. Utley has been on the disabled list since May 21 with a strained right oblique. ... Brewers reliever Tom Gorzelanny (1-0) will make his first start of the season Saturday against the Phillies' Kyle Kendrick (6-3).

If there's a time for celebration in Houston, now is not it.
Fresh off a 3-1 aggregate series win over the Philadelphia Union on Thursday, the Dynamo will have less than 72 hours off before the first kick of Sunday's Eastern Conference final against Sporting Kansas City at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.
"I'm a little disappointed in the way the league structured the playoff schedule," Brian Ching said after the game on Thursday night. "I think of all the teams, we maybe got the short end of the stick."
The Dynamo were back at training on Friday, forgoing their customary day off to get a head start on preparations for Sunday's matchup. Sporting had an extra day of rest, having advanced past the Colorado Rapids in their conference semifinal matchup, finishing off a 4-0 aggregate victory on Wednesday to eliminate the defending champions.
"Kansas City is coming up on a quick turnaround," Ching said. "They're tough team at home; just look at the way they put away Colorado. But we're a team that's been playing better and better."
The Dynamo are no strangers to quick turnarounds. When faced with less than a week's rest in the regular season, the Dynamo compiled a 5-5-3 record, including a dramatic 3-2 win over fellow conference finalist Real Salt Lake at home on August 20 and Thursday's 1-0 playoff win over the Union.
"I think this [game] is one of those where you just have to regroup and get ready and not worry about who's had the most amount of rest," Houston head coach Dominic Kinnear said on Friday. "You just have to get out there, and when the ball's rolling, you just have to play the best."
If the Dynamo do get past Sporting, they'll have two full weeks of well-earned rest before the MLS Cup final on Nov. 20 at The Home Depot Center.
"I don't really think about that," Houston left back Corey Ashe said. "What comes into play is who wants it more and who'll be the better team; once kickoff starts, and the adrenaline starts pumping, all the rest issues go away."
Darrell Lovell covers the Houston Dynamo for MLSsoccer.com.

Delafield gun club fights to reopen after woman hit by stray bullet
Incident happened 3 years ago
Delafield city leaders are debating whether to allow the Hartland Sportsman Club to reopen after a pregnant woman was hit by a stray bullet several years ago.
Robert Flemming, who wants the gun club to remain closed, is one of the owners of the Delafield Brewhouse where the woman was dining when she was shot three years ago. "Management cannot guarantee that it would provide a 100 percent safe harbor from any further gunshots," he said at a Wednesday meeting about the club.
Several neighbors of the Hartland Sportsman Club also spoke out against its reopening, including ARCO Manufacturing owner John Barker. His employees eat meals outside. He invited sportsman club members to eat there.
"Come over and have a meal on me, right on that patio. I advise you to do it all the time when the guys are shooting at the range. And you tell me how safe you feel knowing that 209 yards away, you're firing shotguns over and over and over again," he said.
Those in favor of the club reopening include Boy Scouts and their leaders, who use the facility for gun education. "It would help our community because hunters, as it is a big thing here in Wisconsin, deer season, is a good and safe place to help sign in our rifles," said Matthew Schultz, a Boy Scout.
A scout leader said safety was always paramount for everyone at the club.
One of the neighbors who spoke out against the club is a hunting-safety instructor. He used guidelines from the National Rifle Association to argue the range is simply too close to homes and businesses.
Lawyers for the gun club argue new bullet-catchers and other safety features would be installed.
A vote on the issue will be taken at a future date, city officials said.

Crackdown looks like a cartoon. I guess. With the cel-shading and everything. Not sure it needed an animated prequel series, though. What is this, 2008?
It's not like anyone cares about the fiction of Crackdown. About its universe. They care about setting people on fire, and collecting green orbs, and doing those things with their friends, and that's about it!
Still, on the off chance you are a passionate fan of the rich tapestry of inter-character relations and personal development underpinning the game, you should tune into this five-part animated series, the next four episodes airing each week for the next month.
Nice touch getting the narrator to… narrate it, though. He could talk me through brushing my teeth and I'd feel like I just kicked a man over a building.

I'm very curious, for those of you who have attained KCHGA and are willing/permitted to discuss this matter (or if you can simply cite references to other magicians' views on the subject), how you generally think of your HGA's gender.
Male? Female? Both? Neither? Others?
(I imagine there are times for both expressions, but I'm interested in "general/default" for you.)
I have some reasons of my own, pertaining to my own Aspiration, for wondering.
I've seen people arguing that it tends to express as the gender the magician is most attracted to because that makes for being an easier "lover"; but Bro. Proserpinus (see Black Pearl #6) seems to be a straight or at least bi male, and refers to his Angel mostly as male, owing to the solar-phallic nature of the entity. Crowley's is male, but Crowley's sexuality is complicated.
And certainly Abramelin uses the masculine, but this is medieval times; authority figures tended to be masculine.
And as a final qualifier, obviously not everyone will even perceive so much the "lover" aspect of that relationship, since, of course, every Adept and every Angel are different.
My own perception of my own Angel (of whom I have had the Vision, but not yet KC) has shifted over time and so I find myself curious.

Another summer weekend has come and gone and with it another custom bridal illustration is mailed out to a bride. This one is Emily who happens to be a previous client actually. (No, its not her second wedding!) I previously worked with Emily years ago on seven custom Marie Antoinette inspired illustrations for her website, Material Girls.
Emily sent over a entire online album (from her photographer Taylor Lord Photography) of her bridal session photo shoot. It was the ideal way for me to work on a custom bridal illustration. It also didn't hurt that Emily is gorgeous and her stunning Lazaro dress wasn't too shabby either. Its often a bit of challenge to illustrate from the photos clients send over. They can be too small, poorly lit, and rarely have close up shots of the bride and the dress details. This was not the case here though as you can see from these lovely photos.
It was a joy to work with Emily again and I hope she likes her bridal illustration as much as I do! For your own custom bridal illustration or to give one as a gift, you can check out the custom listings in my Etsy bridal shop, Brooklit Bride.
The image above is from Wisteria, I simply photoshopped my illustration of Emily on in there. Emily does plan on custom framing the artwork though and I can't wait to see a photo of it and add it to my client photo album.

It's one thing to watch a movie about the King of England triumphantly overcoming a speech impediment. It's quite another to have that story be the story of your Father, told by a stranger.
But, Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II has expressed her approval of the 12-time nominated "The King's Speech" after she viewed the film in a private screening, "The Australian" reports.
The film chronicles the relationship between King George VI (Colin Firth) and his dryly-humorous speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) as the King overcomes a speech impediment.
U.S. & World
Screenwriter David Seidler is "humbled," according to the "Toronto Sun," if only because it is a story he's waited to tell for decades.
Seidler expressed interest in writing George VI's journey overcoming his speech impediment decades earlier, but, upon consulting the Queen Mother, was forced to wait. The Queen Mum implored Seidler to wait until she had passed away to write about the Royal Family's struggles.
"When her mother asked me 30 years ago to wait, because the memory of these events were still too painful, I understood the intense feelings that were involved," Seidler told "The Australian." He finds it highly gratifying that the Queen herself paid homage to the film.
"The fact that Her Majesty has recognized this is incredibly and wonderfully gratifying."

JOHANNESBURG – Bob Bradley's status as US National Team coach likely won't be decided for another two weeks or so, but USSF president Sunil Gulati said on Monday that he is "disappointed" in the team's Round of 16 exit from the 2010 World Cup.
Speaking with a group of reporters, Gulati explained that while he is proud of Bradley's accomplishments in his three-and-a-half years as US head coach, he feels the team failed to grasp a golden opportunity to progress further in the tournament in falling to Ghana 2-1 in extra time last weekend.
Should the US have won that game, they had what Gulati considers a clear path to the semifinals of the World Cup for the first time since 1930, thanks to a straightforward bracket that would have pitted the US against Uruguay in the quarterfinals.
"It was all in front of us, is the best way of putting it," Gulati said. "We started dreaming after the first round. Thinking about what is possible and unfortunately, we think about what could have been."
And that disappointment wasn't just in on-field achievement, Gulati said.
"The missed opportunity was partly a chance to get to the quarters and a matchup with Uruguay," said Gulati, "but it's also a missed opportunity to stay in American eyes for another four, five, six days, maybe 10 days, when interest is at an all-time high."
The Ghana match was watched by 14.9 million viewers on ESPN, the network said, marking the most-watched men's World Cup game in American history. According to Gulati, with the Spanish-language broadcast figures from Univisión, total viewership for the game exceeded 17 million in the US.
Gulati said he wanted to begin conversations with Bradley on Monday before the coach departed South Africa, but travel arrangements were such that it was more likely those talks would begin back in the US in two weeks' time. The US have a friendly scheduled against Brazil at New Meadowlands Stadium on Aug. 10.
It wasn't immediately clear if Gulati was leaning toward releasing Bradley from his contract, which expires at the end of the year. But he did acknowledge it was possible Bradley may decide to step down to pursue another coaching job, something Bradley hinted at on Sunday.
Should the USSF and Bradley decide to go in different directions – a distinct possibility considering the circumstances – Gulati said the federation would not wait as long as it did to find a new coach as it did in 2006, when Bruce Arena's replacement wasn't named until December.
Bradley was the fallback choice for the US after German legend Jürgen Klinsmann withdrew his name from consideration. Gulati said Monday that he isn't opposed to hiring a foreign coach, but acknowledged that any candidate must have a solid knowledge of the US system, its players and, ideally, Major League Soccer.
Interestingly, Gulati also revealed that he and Bradley held discussions with Fabio Capello in the months before the Italian was named coach of the English national team. Those talks had been over a number of roles, such as a technical-director position or involvement in the US' youth-team system. Ultimately, Capello took the job with the English FA in December 2007.
Gulati was careful Monday not to put all of the US' failings on the players, though he did express disappointment with some of them, without naming names. But he did say the system needs to improve to the point where higher-quality players are cultivated by the USSF academy set-up, as well as MLS.
On the World Cup bidding front, Gulati said that the US' proposal to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup has been well-received – especially thanks to the involvement of former President Bill Clinton, who has been in South Africa for the US' final two games – but that he doesn't expect to hear any ultimate feedback from FIFA until the hosts are named in December.
