...aaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back
Two weeks. Ouch. Boy am I shite at updating my loyal fans (and capitalising on new ones). The more astute among you have probably already realised why this is. Two words: Comedy Festival.
Aside from a busy and dare I say successful season - actually yeah, it was successful and here's the proof - there was all those other brilliant shows to see and experience.
Aside from the scads of brilliantly funny shows from the likes of Sam Simmons, Tom Ballard, Steve Sheehan, Maria Bamford and Bo Burnham, here are some other MICF highlights - in no particular order or detail.
*Scatalogical humour with Paul Foot at a Hungry Jack's at 4am
*Secret Santoni Cabaretoni at The Tuxedo Cat
*Good friend/medical practitioner/living partner Dr. Professor Neal Portenza getting a special mention in the Golden Gibbo nominations.
*Dr. Brown's Clown Classes: tough, revealing and rewarding.
*Reggie Watts murdering the HiFi bar
*single-handedly starting a crowd singalong of Come On Eileen on the final night of Festival Club prior to Dave Callan's DJ set.
There's probably many more besides, but most importantly are all the wonderful people who came out and supported Al's Music Rant. If you were there, I thank you, I had brilliant audiences every night - no matter the size - and without a good audience, there is no point. Your laughter, support (and ticket revenue) are what keeps it all ticking along. So here's to the next show...
Now it's time to bring some life back to the pages that inspired the show to begin with.
The A/V Room
Remember that little collection of music video posts a while back?
No? ...really? it was quite memorable, got a lot of feedback about that one. I have a real love/hate relationship with music videos, as detailed by the lil' sorta-manifesto accompanying the original post. But collating the best videos scattered across the internet for my own nefarious purposes was a lot of fun. Plus in the intervening weeks there's been some more that have actually tickled my fancy, of course there's a million more that I hated, but let's stick to the good stuff shall we?
Kimbra - Cameo Lover (Dir: Guy Franklin)
Kicking us off is the most excellent Kimbra, an AMR perennial. The next single from her IMPOSSIBLY anticipated debut Vows (trust me, as soon as I get my hands on that sucker, you'll know about it). The colourful, exuberant, punchy, Motown-lish sing-a-long gets a colourful, exuberant, puncy video to match. My only criticism is that Ms. J would never go for such a cookie-cutter hunk, pink three-piece suit or no.
World Order - Machine Civilisation (Dir: Genki Sudo)
I can't claim this one at all, I'd never heard of Genki Sudo let alone World Order before, discovering it all via Stereogum; but absolute gems like this are too good not to share. If you have even the slightest interest in choreography, or human movement, you owe it to yourself to watch this. Nice little tune too, like a Japanese Postal Service to my ears.
Ghoul - The Slip (Dir: John-Paul McElwee)
Another steal, this time from Dom Alessio's brilliant blog, over at his triple j Home & Hosed page, where he premiered the clip from one of my (and his) favourite new acts, Ghoul (featured briefly before here). The simple narrative conceit, a depressive bender... in reverse, is so brilliantly realised. I love how it kind of forces you to piece together the story as you're watching as well, with no clear answers by the end. Man, just makes me want to go all Tyler Durden and hit rock-bottom.
Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders - Cold Feet (Dir: Steve Rogers)
The Ex-Expatriate bassist (now there's a confusing lil' sentence) Tim Rogers, not to be confused with You Am I's Tim Rogers (this is getting messy) has released a new clip directed by Steve Rogers, but not the Steve Rogers who is Captain America (god this is like Inception). This moody little piece is the taster for his third album, Hurtsville and the first with full backing band The Dreamlanders which features the talents of Laurenz Pike of PVT, ex-Mercy Arms guitarist Kirin J Callinan. Now let us never venture into such complicated six- degrees-of descriptions again!
Wiley - Action In Numbers (Dir: Us)
We've sort of seen many of the elements that make up this video before - the multiple artists, the colour minimalism, the rewinding - but it's hard to fault it when it comes together so well. Wiley is either having a ton of fun performing his bucket list of music video 'things' and hiding it very well, or he's just a really focussed rapper-artist, or something. The best bit is him hopping over his own arm - middle left about two min in.
Fleet Foxes - Grown Ocean
The soundtrack to this assemblage of faux-super 8 footage is the closing track from the group's epicly good sophomore album, Helplessness Blues. If watching this doesn't make you want to grow some extravagant facial hair and become a folk troubadour, you either lack the spirit of adventure or you're female. It's not even the beardiest, folkiest cut from the album - that honour probably goes to the Simon & Garfunkl-meets-prog-rock of Sim Sala Bim or The Shrine/An Argument. All this talk of the album, and not the above video, has probably given the game away, this is really just a chance to flag what is probably gonna be one of the albums of the year.

Overlord's Stuart Cooper's 10 Criterion Collection raves
Does the man dream the machine or the machine dream the man? American-born director Stuart Cooper’s epic, stoic, willfully peculiar Overlord (1975) is a hybrid of fiction and fact, of the Futurist and the post-modern, tracking the preparations of one supremely ordinary 20-year-old soldier, Tom Beddow (Brian Stirner), one Tom among tummies, as he trains to become part of Operation Overlord, or D-Day. More soon about the DVD edition, but for now, in an ongoing Criterion Collection tradition, Cooper offers 10 personal Criterion favorites. One fave among the raves: “The Battle of Algiers, for its originality, objectivity, and political power. I studied it while I was preparing Overlord. I admired a quote of Pontecorvo’s: “Technically U.S. directors keep improving. But this technical expertise hides an emptiness that keeps getting bigger. They’re very good at saying nothing.”
[LOOK] A close-up of the human face: Jessica Lynch
By Ray Pride - Tuesday, April 24th, 2007
Again, simplicity itself: a C-SPAN single position shot, medium-close on the human face. Jessica Lynch, a working class woman who joined the Army to gain the opportunities for an education that would allow her to make a career teaching children somewhere near her hometown Palestine, West Virginia, who was injured in battle in Iraq in 2003, the details of whose capture was fabricated by person or persons in the Department of Defense. I can hardly get past the first few seconds: that shy smile after she repositions the microphone in front of her is devastating. An all-American face. An all-American hero. It’s good she’s alive.
[LOOK] The US Trailer for John Carney's Once
By Ray Pride - Monday, April 23rd, 2007
If you pick up the Spring 2007 Filmmaker magazine, among the features you’ll get that you can’t get online is my interview with John Carney, the director of Once, and Glen Hansard, the star and co-composer of this lovely small film. I’ll have a different interview with them on Indie in late May when the picture’s released. Close to perfect, sez NY Times’ A. O. Scott? It may well be the best music film of our generation, sez ChiTrib’s Michael Philips? Getting warm, gentlemen. Getting warm.
Year of the Dog, 2007 (1/2 *)
A PORTRAIT OF MENTAL ILLNESS BROUGHT TO THE FORE BY THE DEATH OF A LUMP OF A DOG NAMED “PENCIL,” The Year of the Dog stars Molly Shannon as Peggy, a drear crackpot, a bore with no life beyond office job and needy hound, a life wasted away between grande Starbucks. Writer-director Mike White, who wrote Chuck & Buck and starred as its gay stalker with reveries (and arias) of prehensile sexual exploration, expanded on his statement that his directorial debut is a “comedy that’s not funny” to Filmmaker magazine, “I find it funny, but it plays at such a deadpan level for so much of it that I feel like some of the comedy is missed” Or missing, perhaps? “And there are also so many minor keys in it. My preference for comedy is something that’s played so straight that, in a way, you’re wrong-footed. I think it’s a comedy; it definitely plays for laughs, but it plays with the audience. As somebody who sees a lot of movies, when something’s not pre-digested, it’s very pleasant because you’re like, ‘I don’t exactly know how to take this.’
Interminable, morally and psychologically incoherent, it is a soulless bore. Brightly lit, bluntly framed and criminally dim, The Year of the Dog is Todd Solondz light, as infuriating as a stone in a shoe on a 90 minute walk somewhere you wouldn’t want to go. This is a failure worthy of sustained contumely. It seems to go on for hours. Dog is more tedious than it is skin-crawling; it’s the kind of movie you’d expect the people who don’t just walk out would light up the room with the soft blue glow of their cell phones. You miss the steady yet soulful hand of director Richard Linklater on White’s script for School of Rock.
Jeff Daniels on why Dumb and Dumber is art
By Ray Pride - Sunday, April 15th, 2007
“Oh, yeah, Dumb and Dumber. Did all those fart jokes hurt your reputation?” Boris Kachka asks Jeff Daniels in New York Magazine. “You lose your membership in the serious-actors club, so it took me a long time to get over that.” Kachka suggests Daniels’ roles in The Lookout and on stage in Manhattan Theatre Club’s “Blackbird” are a “bit more challenging than Dumb and Dumber, I’d imagine.” Daniels: “Yeah, but I visited Walter Reed in February and met these vets with horrible injuries. And every single one of them knew Dumb and Dumber. It made them laugh. You can’t tell me it doesn’t matter when a guy with no legs and half a face is laughing through his painkillers, reenacting a scene from Dumb and Dumber. That’s art.”

Red Road: A word or three with director Andrea Arnold
I’ve got a couple of pieces coming up in the late Spring issue of Filmmaker, including a chat with John Carney and Glen Hansard, respectively, writer-director and male lead-co-composer of the marvelous musical Once; here, for the nonce, from Sundance 2007, is a snip of conversation with Red Road‘s writer-director Andrea Arnold and her remarkable lead, Kate Dickie. “It’s usually dangerous, and sometimes insulting to directors to talk about influences, but it is shorthand to get at the work. Certainly, Red Road is going to be aligned with Rear Window and movies by Michael Haneke, like Caché.” ARNOLD: Yeah, I’ve had that lots. [Find the homonymic error in the last graf and I have a shiny nickel for you.]

The forthright Sarah Polley directs: could she make a Battle of Algiers?
By Ray Pride - Thursday, April 12th, 2007
“As a director, [Sarah] Polley is a rarity because of her youth,” writes Kira Cochrane in the Guardian, “but also because of her gender. She recounts the story of a friend, “an incredibly intelligent woman, who was making a film, and was meeting quite a famous actor about it. The actor eventually turned her down, saying, ‘I’m just used to working with people who are more like mad visionaries.’ I thought that was interesting, because, in fact, we’re still at a point where women aren’t allowed to be mad visionaries. We have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we’re responsible, that we can handle it, that we’ve got all our ducks in a row … most women who direct always come in on budget, always come in on schedule, and if they were wild and irresponsible it would not be put down to brilliance, but to a general flakiness.” In the extended profile, Polley mentions upcoming acting projects a couple of scripts. “Would she like to combine her interest in politics with her film-making? “I’d love to,” she says, but “I think it’s so rarely done well. It’s really hard to make a useful political film, and, at the same time, make a great film artistically – I feel like the Battle of Algiers did it, and a few Ken Loach movies … That would be my ideal, though, and one of the main reasons that I want to be a film-maker is to combine those things. But I think it’s one of the trickiest things to find a delicate and graceful way to do.”
[LOOK] John Hillcoat's "Funeral For A Friend" promo
The Proposition director John Hillcoat brings the weather indoors in this nice promo for the song “Oblivion,” by the band Funeral For A Friend.
Grindhouse (2007, ***)
THE NOTION OF SECRETING SOME CHEETOS PUFFS AND AN OIL CAN OF FOSTER’S INTO MY SHOULDER BAG into last week’s past-my-deadline all-media Grindhouse screening at Chicago’s AMC River East 21 held momentary allure, or perhaps packing a flask, in honor of the mid-adolescent shake-‘n’-bake tradition of drive-ins and dollar houses in decades past, but I resisted, yet still experienced the exchange of deliciously bitchy talk-out-louds from nearby audience members and the apposite spectacle of a late-coming, morbidly obese woman clumsily tramping on my feet and blocking the screen in the oversold auditorium and loudly dubbing me a “motherf–ing little white c—sucker.” (Free shit makes me stupid, too.) I could almost smell the scorched, foul carpets and seats of the Loop’s late and lamentable UA, McVickers, Woods and pre-civic-ized Chicago Theater venues. Other rancid things comprise the 191-minute spectacle, thrilling and dismaying in equal, vivid measure. Also of interest is writing about the film after its cataclysmic opening weekend, with mooted plans by distributor The Weinstein Company to perhaps pull the $90 million-plus investment from theaters and to release Robert Rodriguez’s twangy, frenetic Tex-Mex-neck zombie Planet Terror separately from Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, a sadistic, even nihilist, limb-scattering car-crash demolition derby opus and girl-gawking trash-talk epic (aka “Gone in 60 Footrubs”).
[LOOK] Alex Cox directs Iggy Pop & Debbie Harry
By Ray Pride - Monday, April 9th, 2007
In honor of the completion of a new feature by Alex Cox, Searchers 2.0, Screengrab’s Faisal Qureshi digs up this sweet little video from 1990, as the duo cover Cole Porter’s “Well Did you Evah?” for the Red, White & Blue Aids project.

My Wish For UK Prime Minister
As a resident in London with voting rights I have political opinions and I am committed to playing my small part in improving the quality of life in my community, so here is my political wish list for Our Prime Minister:- Do not blame ethnic minorities or immigrants for the breakdown of family values in London. Ethnic minorities do not have much influence in the economic balance of London and are more or less victims of the more powerful forces of the local corporate system. Do not blame hip hop music for the "gang culture" in London. History shows that gangs existed in London even before Hip Hop became mainstream. Just look at the movies featuring local gangsters. Black boys are not the only children with a crisis of identity. Most children are facing crises on different levels. Do not pander to the media that highlights failings amongst ethnic minorities but suppresses crises amongst local people. Do not force feed cultural influences on people with varied trad
Boris Johnson is a SEO Strategist
How Boris’ Remarks Affect Rankings After the interview, news pieces started popping up across the SERPs. The BBC, The Guardian, The Independent, Huffington Post, The Sun, the Express, The Mirror, The Daily Mail, The London Economic, and many, many more are dominating the news section of Google, all referring to him and his supposed new hobby. And in the title of every single piece of coverage? His name next to the word ‘bus’. Let’s look at this as if it were a content marketing campaign you were running for your client. Say the KPI was increasing the rankings of a specific keyword, or perhaps more generally the branded key term. Any marketer undergoing a link building campaign waiting for press to come in would consider the above coverage as a huge success, no doubt monitoring closely what affect this would have on your client’s rankings.

You are invited to Boris Johnson's book launch
The following is a message from Boris Johnson, The mayor of London. (Dear Londoners) I love London. I love its vibrancy, its energy and its can-do spirit. That's why I ran for Mayor in 2008 and it's why I'm running again. The strength of a city lies in its people - from the famous, the infamous to the heroically obscure. From an earlier Mayor of London Dick Whittington to the tireless volunteers working to turn around London's next generation. All whose endeavours have built the place we call home, I salute. Which is why I decided to write a book about the people who made the city that made the world. And I want you to join me in a celebration of these fellow Londoners. Just reply to this email ([email protected]) with your full name and phone number to get a free ticket to attend the launch of my book, Johnson's Life of London, on Thursday 10th November at 7pm. Tickets will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. The first 200 people to respond will

Get Well Soon Boris
“Whatever political persuasion the whole country is united in wanting our PM to get fit and well as soon as possible #BackBoris.” source: https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/
I have been speaking to people about the forthcoming London Mayoral Elections and trumpeting the virtue or the prospect of Boris being "the one." What is always noticeble is the chuckle and resignation that Boris Johnson is not serious. I find this quite surprising because I believe that a little humour goes a long way to uplift spirits. Of course, we need to put issues into perspective and be sensitive to those who feel differently about some issues. Let's not abandon the great British sense of humour. I think it's the best in the world. As London Mayor, Boris will make living in London a lot more fun!
No Need To Be Afraid of Boris
The current furore over Boris being a racist is simply laughable. You cannot just paint a person in anti-black paint on the basis of criticising black people, be it in a comical way. The trouble with the contemporary do good-ers is their lack of insight into the dynamics of modern communities. Ethnic minorities are perceptive enough to spot a racist and are intelligent enough not to waste time or effort in futile anti-racist protests that do not serve any purpose whatsoever. The key issue is oppression, abuse and cruelty. I believe that anyone who stands against evil and promotes a sharing, caring and sustainable community in which everyone no matter their creed lives peacefully is worthy of praise. While it is impossible to please everyone, in my opinion, Boris has the conviction to improve the quality of life for all in this (London)community.
Boris: Let's work together to win a second term
"London - for me - is the best big city on earth. Securing a second term would enable us to lengthen that lead and guarantee its rightful position in the world for another generation. And for that - I need your help ." - Boris Johnson

The History of McCarthy’s Marina
McCarthy’s Marina, originally called “City Dock,” was the hub of the island starting in the early 1900s. During this time, river steamers brought residents and visitors along with supplies to the island. Starting in the mid-1920s, Charles and Annie Randall (“Mom and Pops” as they were affectionately called) operated a grocery store, fish house and a gas pump at the end of the pier. Mail boats and service-run boats dropped off ice, food, passengers and even Sunday dresses. These daily ferries served as the lifeline to the islands until the Sanibel Causeway opened in 1963.
In 1940, Andy Rosse, a local fishing guide, and his wife Dessa, took over ownership of the City Dock. The City Dock now known as “Andy’s Fishing Pier and Waterfront Saloon” was the place to be on Captiva, especially on a Saturday night. During this time, they hosted famous Americans such as J.N. “Ding” Darling (who loaned Andy the $800 purchasing price of the city dock) and Adlai Stevenson. Fun Fact – Dessa & Andy Rosse’s former cottage on the marina property now serves as McCarthy’s Marina & Captiva Cruises’ office.
In 1986, Paul McCarthy founded Captiva Cruises, a premier eco-heritage tour company focusing on the environment and cultural history of Southwest Florida. A few years later he purchased Andy’s fishing pier now known as McCarthy’s Marina. Paul was active in many local organizations and generously committed his time to benefit the community and conservation efforts.
The current owners of McCarthy’s Marina and Captiva Cruises have proudly worked at the marina for over 20 years. They continue to maintain its status as a family owned local business and a hub of the island.

GameSpite Journal 12: Pulseman
Accessing games never really became an issue by the time the Genesis came out. Most stores understood the popularity of the hobby and stocked as many games as their shelves would allow. Sadly, those games that didn’t either stayed in Japan or got slapped onto an early online service like Sega Channel. Pulseman, one of the best works of Pokémon developer Game Freak, demonstrates the shamefulness of letting fantastic games languish in the obscurity of the import scene or primitive online experiments.
The game doesn’t feel terribly innovative or fresh at a glance, as it plays much like any other of the hundreds of colorful platformers that graced the Super NES and Sega Genesis. You navigate the main character across platforms as you defeated enemies along the way towards the end of the level. But superior, inventive level design (as well as some striking art) gave it an immediate advantage over everything else on the market. The game feels effortless exactly because it’s familiar even as it adds new elements, the exact same quality that keeps people coming back to 2D Mario games.
But it’s the game’s central mechanic of being able to launch and ricochet yourself that truly pushes every aspect of the game to true heights. Reminiscent of the Rocket Knight and Sparkster games, Pulseman can launch himself into enemies and to higher platforms by turning into a ball of energy, bouncing off everything he runs into. Game Freak built the levels around this mechanic, giving each stage not only a greater vertical element than most games, but more complexity in the normal horizontal progression that took the ricochet effect into account as well. Making your way through the levels is truly a joyful experience.
Sadly, few people ever experienced this brand of joy. Though it released as a standard boxed game in Japan, we only saw it as a Sega Channel download. This Internet-based service may have been ahead of its time, but that proved to be a bad thing as far as getting people to participate. Internet connections still lacked the speed and ubiquity necessary for such a service to be the norm. That, coupled with the steep subscription fees, meant that most people never bothered with it. Worse still was the fact that Pulseman released on Sega Channel unlocalized, and though it ends up being a non-issue as far as playability, it was enough to scare even more people away from a game that already had an albatross around its neck.
It’s truly a shame, because Pulseman deserves to be a classic in the same league as Mario and Kirby, two series that Pulseman feels very similar to in that they all staunchly adhere to platformer conventions while simultaneously twisting them with fresh mechanics. Today, it finds itself on the Wii’s Virtual Console, a service much better suited to its times than Sega Channel ever was. Now, free of the baggage that initially doomed it, the world can finally experience this would-be classic properly.

MetManMas says:
Pulseman is fragile (dies in three hits, can’t use his electrical powers when submerged in water), but he makes up for it with diversity in what he can do. He can do an electric swipe, he can kick, he can use a somersault kick (with extremely exploitable invincibility frames), he can travel along wires in energy form, he can dash forward a few spaces (easy static charge), and he can use his charged electricity to shoot arrows of lightning and fling himself about as a ball of light.
The third stage…I’m surprised that got into the final version and Virtual Console port as is. The casino stage is quite a site, but that flashing…well, “everything” looks like a seizure waiting to happen a few years before the Pokémon anime incident.
Really, it’s stuff like Pulseman and Drill Dozer that makes me wish Game Freak would get to do more odd projects outside the Pokémon money machine. Speaking of, I’m still hoping we’ll get a localization of HarmoKnight eventually.
Kayma says:
I really need to play Pulseman. I loved Drill Dozer to death, and ya know, Pokemon wasn’t so bad.
Also, MetManMas, not sure what region you’re in but HarmoKnight is definitely getting a US eShop release, because there is still some good in the world.
Chicago Frank says:
Really enjoyed Pulsman, it did need fine tuning, but fun experience all around though. Drill Dozer is still one of the best GBA games, in fact I would put that, Aria of Sorrow, Metroid Zero Mission, Astro Boy and Mario & Luigi as the best the GBA had to offer imho. As for Pokemon. . .always loved the little bastards but I also despised the games, so damned ploddingly slow. . . .Pokemon Ranger was enjoyable but all that damned swirling got annoying fast. Don’t forget Mario & Wario, that game rocked.
@Kayma Yeah, I’m in the US, but I didn’t know it had been announced for localization yet. How recently was this?
Anyway, great to hear it! I have interest in picking up a 3DS of some sort in the next few months for the upgraded version of Monster Hunter Tri, so I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it if it’s not already on the eShop by the time I get one.
Valvados says:
This is totally off-topic, but I didn’t know where else to say it. Any chance we could get more Evangelion episode reviews JParish? I was really enjoying those. Though I don’t mind the Trek musings, you’e Evangelion reviews seemed more in-depth and manageable. I listened to the Evangelion podcast on 1up but would still be interested in the episode-to-episode breakdown. :)
I’m hoping to write one tonight! I watched episode 4 last night.
@MetManMas It was in the last bit of the latest Nintendo Direct, along with some sort of odd Puzz Loop rip-off.
Tokyo Crash Mobs, you mean? It’s not a ripoff….
I dunno, man. I mean, it’s not as egregious as Zuma, but that game look like Puzz Loop with photo graphics. That… that doesn’t mean it won’t be perfectly fun!
No, I mean it’s by Mitchell. It’s a sequel.

This Old Gun: J.P. Sauer & Sohn Model 1913
Submitted by: David Williamson
Website: http://libertyparkpress.com
There are no comments on this story
Post Comments | Read Comments
J.P. Sauer & Sohn of Suhl is the oldest firearm manufacturer in Germany, having been founded in 1751. The firm has produced all manner of firearms, including self-loading pistols starting around 1905, beginning with the 7.65 mm Browning-chambered (.32 ACP) Roth-Sauer repeater. This handgun, however, did not bear the Sauer imprimatur, and though the guns were marked with Sauer & Sohn�s name, they were not a Sauer design. That distinction would have to wait almost 10 years when the company came out with the first semi-automatic pistol devised and produced solely by Sauer & Sohn�the Selbstlade-Pistole Modell 1913.

Gunshots pierced the frigid air as people ran in all directions, screaming and trampling each other. In his rearview, he saw a woman on the ground bleeding.
NY: Supreme Court to Hear Case on New York's Gun Permit Law
The Supreme Court is preparing to hear a gun rights case that could lead to more guns on the streets of New York and Los Angeles and threaten restrictions on guns in subways, airports, bars, churches, schools and other places where people gather.
Guns and Gear for an Alaska Caribou Hunt
Savage�s new 110 Ultralite weighs just 6 pounds thanks to its polymer stock and carbon fiber barrel. Chambered in .280 Ackley Improved, the rifle is reliable and accurate and suitable for just about any North American game. Its stock allows for comb height and length-of-pull adjustments, and the adjustable Savage AccuTrigger came set at a crisp 2.5 pounds. MSRP: $1,595; savagearms.com.
Review: Tisas 1911 Bantam Carry 45 Pistol
About the time of the 1911�s 100th birthday, we were solidly in the age of the polymer pistol. A decade later, subcompact polymer-pistols chambered in 9 mm have become the most popular handguns for self-defense. Given that landscape, it might seem odd a company would invest in the production of a new line of 1911 handguns. The truth is, there�s still a demand for the old warhorse, especially compact and lightweight variants in the original .45 ACP chambering.
New NY 'Ghost Gun' Law Makes DIY Firearms a Felony

Beigel Unfinished Receiver Act" before an invited crowd of masked anti-gun advocates and Democrat lawmakers.

8 Military Weapons and Technologies That Were Too Advanced for Their Time
It�s always fun to talk about bad gun ideas, but what about the good ones that were before their time? Throughout the history of firearm invention, some designs that were actually superior for their era didn�t get adopted at the time. That could have been because they were too advanced for military tactics of the day, too expensive, to slow on delivery, or just good old-fashioned politics got in the way.

OUT OF ROCK BOTTOM: Packers to build off of confidence for playoff run
Published by admin on Wed, 11/16/2022 - 1:53pm
After describing the week nine loss to the Detroit Lions as “rock bottom,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not ready to give up on the season after a week 10 win against Dallas.
“I felt like that was the bottom and it was only up from there,” said Rodgers. “I think a lot of the battles that we face are between I and I — between the person that can go out there and dominate, and knows that they can, and the little voice in your head that tries to knock you off that confident perch that you’re on.”

Packers Rookie Class Update
Having collected three of the first 34 selections in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers had a chance to add some instant impact to a team coming off three consecutive 13-win seasons.
With the season entering the stretch run, the Packers maybe haven’t quite gotten what they had hoped for from their 11-man class. The arrow is pointed up, though.
Five players have started at least one game. Linebacker Quay Walker has played about 80% of the snaps. Zach Tom has started games at left tackle and left guard. All three rookie receivers have scored touchdowns.

Pan-African Programme for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) [1999-2007]
PACE Documents & Reports
SOMALI ECOSYSTEM RINDERPEST ERADICATION COORDINATION UNIT (SERECU)
SOMALI ECOSYSTEM RINDERPEST ERADICATION COORDINATION UNIT (SERECU).pdf (1.071Mb)
This final report of Somali Ecosystem Rinderpest Eradication Coordination Unit (SERECU) provides an overview of project justification and objectives, achievements, constraints, lessons learnt and suggested recommendations. SERECU was established within AU-IBAR to manage and coordinate a time-bound regional program with the end point being the verification of absence of rinderpest infection, and OIE accreditation of rinderpest freedom for the entire Somali Ecosystem (SES) countries. The initial 6 months SERECU work-plan and cost estimate worth 955,000 euros was endorsed on 22nd November 2005 to start operations immediately alongside the main PACE Extension work-plan and cost estimate. The operations did not start until 1st January 2006. After 10 months of operation, an Addendum was prepared and endorsed for an extension phase of 4 months (November 2006 - February 2007), bringing the total project cost to 1,818,928 euros (equivalent KSh. 160,700,247 ® exchange rate: 1 euro = 88.0268 KSh). The overall objective of SERECU is to contribute to poverty reduction of those involved in livestock-farming sector through eradication of rinderpest and control of major trans-boundary diseases. The project purpose is in line with the first specific objective of the Extension Phase of PACE and was to develop and implement a harmonized and coordinated strategy for rinderpest eradication from the Somali ecosystem. The project had four expected results, namely: n SERECU established and functioning for technical and logistical support to national disease surveillance and control systems n Rinderpest surveillance systems in the Somali ecosystem coordinated and areas of rinderpest infection or freedom clearly delineated based on risk assessment approaches as agreed with concerned countries n Harmonized rinderpest eradication approach applied by veterinary delivery systems in the SES n Final rinderpest eradication strategy prepared, endorsed and coordinated Important achievements during the 14 months of operation are: o SERECU has strengthened dialogue among the countries and with IBAR, as a means towards ensuring coordinated and harmonized field investigations and integrated epidemiological data analysis o Stakeholders in the SES have been sensitised and are more committed to rinderpest eradication efforts as demonstrated by signing and upholding of memoranda of understanding between individual countries/ institutions and AU-IBAR SERECU Final Report iv o Gaps and needs in veterinary delivery systems in the SES for underpinning future interventions in the eradication of rinderpest have been identified o Cooperative linkages and productive working relationships have been reinforced with international stakeholders such as FAO GREP, 01E, and International Reference laboratories. o A proposal has been developed and submitted to the OIE seeking to adapt the Chapter on Rinderpest and the accompanying surveillance requirements of the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code to the specificity of mild rinderpest in achieving freedom from disease. The outcome is awaited at the May 2007 OIE General Assembly and will henceforth influence the future progression of countries along the OIE pathway, particularly Somalia. o Mathematical modeling of mild rinderpest was done using available data and the results of this analysis are consistent with either fade-out of infection or an inter-epidemic period where disease persists in remote communities. The results have contributed to the formulation of final rinderpest eradication strategy. o Ethiopia and Kenya achieved OIE recognition of disease freedom on zonal basis in 2005 and 2006 respectively and both have now applied for freedom from disease at country level (outcome awaited in May 2007). Somalia declared countrywide provisional freedom from rinderpest in January 2007. o A final strategy for the eradication of rinderpest focusing on demonstration of rinderpest freedom, guarding against any risk of rinderpest resurgence and achievement of OIE accreditation of freedom status has been formulated and advanced as contained in SERECU Phase Project Proposal (2007- 2009). Should the verification process identify rinderpest endemicity, the strategy and planning will be adapted accordingly. o A project proposal (both Technical and Financing Agreement) for SERECU phase II (2007- 2009) has been drafted and forwarded to the European Union for their consideration for funding. Conclusion and Recommendations SERECU was operationalised under the aegis of AU-IBAR and has functioned effectively, and dynamically managed its activities, and thereby set a basis for the necessary continuity of a coordinated rinderpest eradication process beyond PACE. This model could be duplicated in other ecosystems/regions to control/ eradicate other trans-boundary diseases. For the future, the following recommendations are put forward. i. An immediate follow-up by specially constituted teams including AU-IBAR, SAHSP, FAO and the 3 SES countries should be conducted in sero-positive sites in SERECU Final Report Somalia and contiguous areas of neighbouring countries as soon as the security concerns are resolved. The results of the mission should shape the final eradication strategy. ii. The outcome of the concept note submitted to the OIE in August 2006 for the adaptation of the Rinderpest Chapter should be actively followed up, as will further guide the eradication strategy. iii. AU-IBAR/SERECU has prepared and submitted to the EC a proposal for a two-year follow-up project. The support of this proposal is necessary to further consolidate the achievements made by PACE/SERECU. SERECU should be sustained and strengthened to provide the needed analytical and operational assistance at national and SES regional level. For the next phase, the current SERECU structure and staff should be maintained if and where possible to harness the valuable experiences gained from the regional approach and the strong linkages so far developed with implementing partners. iv. PPR vaccine trial for the protection of cattle against rinderpest started under PACE should be concluded under phase II of SERECU. v. In SERECU Phase II it is proposed that other selected trans-boundary diseases be addressed as a way to add value and optimize on the eradication efforts for rinderpest

Inspired Refinement: 2018 Audi Q5 Review
We take the new Audi Q5 for a spin to find out what has changed
By Anubhav Sharma
Change is a big word, and it is usually followed by a lot of questions. What has changed, why has it changed, how did it change and so on. The most important one, according to me, is did it need change? See, I completely subscribe to the philosophy of ‘why fix it if ain’t broken?’. While that may work for lazy bums like me, for carmakers change has become a necessity. Competition and changing customer demands have made it a necessity. I remember studying, a while back, that a normal product cycle would be 7-9 years where the product would get a mid-life update around 4-4.5 years. But in today’s world, where people change products before you could complete reading this intro, the product life cycle is much shorter. So, the new Audi Q5 is here and let’s find out what has, er, changed.
First glances may not tell how much has changed on the outside, except most people might do a double take and say, ‘Isn’t that the Q7’? The family look is very evident and the new Q5 stands proud as the baby brother of its capable elder sibling, the Q7. The big hexagonal grille and the signature Matrix LED headlamps look good, while the shapely belt line gives the new Q5 a more taut look. However, at the back, you could be forgiven if you thought nothing has changed since the tail-lamps have almost the same shape. The LED pattern in the tail-lamps is new and it does give a cleaner look to the rear. Overall in the looks department, it is more about fitting into the family rather than making neighbours jealous.
The bigger change (sorry, the word is just stuck in my head now) is on the inside and the overall effect is pretty good. Audi’s latest design language makes its presence felt and you can’t shake off the familiarity if you are used to being inside Audis. The 8.2-inch infotainment screen doesn’t fold in, like in the A4. Then there is the Virtual Cockpit which looks very good but is again from the Q7 and A4; the switches are neatly organised, again like the Q7 and the A4, and the choice of materials and quality is also somewhere between the Q7 and the A4. Familiarity certain breeds comfort in this cabin, though; everything is where it should be and unlike other cars you won’t need a manual to figure out things. A couple of minutes in the car and you’ll be using it as if you have owned it forever. That’s what I think technology should be do, make life easier for us.
Audi’s familiar MMI also gets an upgrade and I really think this is one of the easiest infotainment systems to use, across segments. You can interact with the main MMI display though a large knob, a trackpad and four buttons. It’s a lot like the trackpad on your laptop and makes doing all the mundane things like changing the radio channel or some settings quite easy. True to being an Audi, the new Q5 is loaded with features, like electric front seats, powered tail-gate, a big panoramic sunroof and a wireless charging station for phones that are Qi-enabled. The cabin upgrade carries over to the rear seats as well, with an improved seating position, reclining seats and space comfortable enough for two full-sized adults. A third person could fit in, but may not be too happy after a long ride.
There is change under the hood as well and that’s something I initially wasn’t too happy to hear. The new Q5 comes with only one engine option as of now, the tried and tested 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel which makes about 190 bhp and 40 kgm of torque. The same motor does duty in the A4, the A5 and the A6. Well, this is a family that shares, evidently. But again, this isn’t a drawback as the engine doesn’t let you down. The new Q5 is quick; Audi claims 0-100 kph in 7.9 seconds, but it is not going to scare you while it does that. It’s like being in a business-class seat when your plane is about to take off — you know it’s going fast, but it’s all smooth and quiet inside. Don’t get me wrong, the new Q5 can handle all the spirited driving you throw at it. But it will remain dignified and calm through out, cocooning you from the world outside. The 7-speed dual clutch S-tronic gearbox is a perfect match for the engine, shifts are quick and super smooth. It does not like stop-and-go traffic much, especially in Dynamic mode, but rarely chooses the wrong gear even then. Stay in Dynamic if you are heading up the hills or driving out to meet some corners, since body roll is minimal in this mode.
A wise man once said the more things change, the more they remain the same. As a package, I think that sums up the Q5 aptly. It offers modern technology, sophistication, good design, decent fun while driving, refinement and a comfortable ride — and it does all of the above with a freshness to it. Yes, there is familiarity, but it is nothing which will put you off. In fact, it makes you feel at home. A refined, luxurious and comfortable home which can do pretty good triple-digit speeds. When change brings good things with it, I am all for it.

Wings of Desire (1987)
An angel tires of his purely ethereal life of merely overseeing the human activity of Berlin's residents, and longs for the tangible joys of physical existence when he falls in love with a mortal. (PG-13, 128 min.)
"Wings of Desire" is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts—fears, hopes, dreams—of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, is movie poetry. And it forever made the name Wim Wenders synonymous with film art. [Janus]
Starring: Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Otto Sander
Director: Wim Wenders
Genre(s): Drama, Fantasy, Romance
"A beautiful, literate and romantic piece of cinema."
— Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine
"A soaring vision that appeals to the senses and the spirit."
— Desson Thomson, Washington Post
"One of the few truly great movies to come out of the '80s."
— Douglas Pratt, Hollywood Reporter
"Wings of Desire is one of Wenders's most stunning achievements."
— Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"Wim Wenders returns to Germany with a sublimely beautiful, deeply romantic film for our times."
— Variety
"Wim Wenders’ astonishing, award-winning fantasy drama depicts life in a divided Berlin through the eyes of angels."
— Joe Clay, Times (UK)
"A stunningly made valentine to the city of Berlin, which has never been more imaginatively or more beautifully filmed. A joy from start to finish."
— David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia)
"It's hard to think of another movie of its era that makes the viewer so fully feel like a denizen of its setting; the roving, dollying, craning camera makes angels of us all."
— Bill Weber, Slant Magazine
"Though Wings Of Desire has a classic look, its mood and style is New Wave in every sense of the term. The synthesis of deep thought, leisurely pacing, and stunning visuals is in the spirit of work by the young European filmmakers of the '60s and '70s."
— Noel Murray, The A.V. Club

Textappeal | KitKat’s Secret To Success In Japan
post-template-default,single,single-post,postid-1139,single-format-standard,ajax_fade,page_not_loaded,,qode-theme-ver-3.1,wpb-js-composer js-comp-ver-4.11.1,vc_responsive
How Kitkat Made It Big in Japan
KitKat’s Secret To Success In Japan
The Japanese food market can be particularly hard to crack for foreign brands. Ask Mars, who have finally managed to get M&Ms and Snickers onto Japanese shelves after thirty five years of hard work. This is only part of the battle though. The next step is competing with domestic brands that dominate the packaged food market in Japan thanks to their unrivalled insight.
A worthy rival has been found in the form of KitKat. So what is its secret to success? KitKat’s popularity in the Japanese food market can be attributed to solid investment by Nestle since its launch in Japan in the 1970s. Consumers in Japan have a notoriously short attention span, with products battling to stay relevant in the market. KitKat has constantly been innovating new flavours, such as green tea and wasabi, to keep the Japanese public interested in the product. Nestle have produced over 200 limited edition flavours.
See also 6 Traditions to Know Before Heading to Japan
KitKat have been successful because they have been able to satisfy the exacting demands of Japanese consumers in terms of product quality and packaging. Luck may also have played a role in the product’s success. The name KitKat resembles the phrase “Kitto Katsu” meaning “surely win”, a term of good luck in Japan. This explains why the chocolate bars are so popular during exam time which runs from January to March in Japan.
Behind The News
Nestle have understood what it takes to be successful in the Japanese market and adapted their strategy accordingly. Instead of marketing KitKat primarily as a snack for people on the go, they are often sold as gifts due to the limited edition status of certain products.
Winning over Japanese consumers represented a challenge for Nestle but also an opportunity to make an inroad into the Asian market. Thanks to smart cultural and consumer insights, the chocolate coated wafer has come a long way from its humble origins in 1930s England, to its global success.

Abra Mine Reaches First Ore, Construction Nearly Complete
Galena Mining Ltd. reported the construction progress at its Abra base metals mine has reached 92% complete at the end of October. Located in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, the underground mine has reached the first ore and plant commissioning continues in several key areas with the project focused on achieving first concentrate production in Q1 2023.
“Reaching first ore underground is extremely rewarding for everyone involved in the project,” Galena Mining Managing Director Tony James said. “To see for the first time what we have predicted and interpreted as the Abra orebody delivers a significant step forward for the project. Record development meters (m) in October has taken the mine to the ore and we continue to establish key underground infrastructure with the completion of the 6-m diameter raise that will serve as the primary return airway.” The processing plant engineering, procurement and construction has reached 97% complete. Structural steel has been completed in October and mechanical installations are at 96% complete. Piping at 80% and electrical at 71% complete continue to progress quickly.
Pacific Energy’s Hybrid 10MW LNG/ solar power station completed full integration with the solar power supply, dry commissioning of the crushing and screening areas was completed in early November and first rock crushing is scheduled for late November. Grinding section dry and wet commissioning will commence in the second half of November and is planned for completion by mid-December. Mine decline development continued during October. A total of 311 m was developed with the decline reaching the 1284 level. October represents the highest individual development month since the first cut was fired in the portal in October 2021. The decline location is 266 m vertically below the surface and is 29 m vertically below the original top of the orebody (1313 level). Underground drilling has now identified mineralization as high as the 1330 level, which is currently being reviewed for potential extraction. The 1300 level ore access drive reached first ore in early November.
The 1290 level horizon is a significant work area for development as underground infrastructure for pumping, ventilation, second means of egress and power are all distributed from this level outwards into the development network. All this infrastructure is currently being established and will result in an increased focus on lateral development and lower decline development in the gshort term. The company said total project construction capital expenditure remains within budget. The key remaining focus is completion of the processing facility and the underground development of the mine. A feasibility study completed during July 2019 envisions an operation with a 16-year mine life producing a high-value, high-grade lead-silver concentrate of approximately 95,000 metric tons per year (mt/y) of lead and 805,000 oz/y of silver after ramp-up is completed.

Early Review: History Rewritten in ‘High Castle’
By Clarence Moye @chmoye Nov 16, 2015
Amazon Studios has recently made available a series of television pilots for popular consumption and voting with an idea toward involving the public in the series order process (we cover 2015’s crop in this week’s Water Cooler podcast). While it remains to be seen how closely popular votes as tallied by Amazon match what makes it to series, The Man in the High Castle was one such series to survive that process. Premiering on Amazon Prime this Friday, High Castle is a gloriously epic small screen production, harkening back to the days of such great 1980s historic war miniseries like War and Remembrance and The Winds of War. High Castle is a beautifully filmed and meticulously created series that boasts a huge and hugely talented cast that could rival HBO’s Game of Thrones for period drama supremacy.
High Castle, in its own way, is as much of a fantasy series as HBO’s record-holding Emmy winner because it dares to reimagine the results of World War II. Here, the Germans and Japanese won the war, splitting the United States into three sections: the Japanese-owned Pacific States, the Great Nazi Reich of the Midwest and East, and a neutral territory called the Rocky Mountain States. The action of the series begins in 1962 with various characters operating within and investigating the American resistance. Much of the action revolves around two characters: Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos), a Japanese-friendly woman caught up in an act of espionage, and Joe Blake (Luke Kleintank), a new recruit to the American resistance.
The action of the series revolves around the transfer of a series of newsreels called The Grasshopper Lies Heavy that depicts an alternate reality in which the Axis powers lost the war to the Allies. The most touching moment of the pilot shows Juliana crying as she watches one of the films, having just seen her half-sister shot dead after giving her the film. Juliana watches what is effectively a propaganda film (although we know it to be reality) with a palpable sense of wonder and wistful longing for the freedoms such a victory would guarantee. The scene is the lynchpin of the pilot, giving the illegal newsreels a vital sense of importance as many die and/or double-cross others in search of them. Aside from spy thrills, the series also pulls back to illustrate a higher level of political intrigue as Adolf Hitler is rumored to be suffering from Parkinson’s disease, and, should he die, his next in command would almost certainly start another war to wipe out America.
The performances within are all accomplished and effectively rendered against the period. As this is a pilot, all of the expected character motivations, relationships, and even identities still haven’t quite jelled yet. You know the main players, but some of the many supporting cast members haven’t fully popped yet. I do expect Rufus Sewell as SS Obergruppenführer John Smith to feature heavily in the series with a potential towards awards attention should the series fulfill its great promise. The true star of the pilot, though, is the filmmaking prowess. Aside from the complex art direction (re-imagining America as either Nazi or Japanese states is eerily and effectively rendered here), the entire production is shot in an amber hue reminiscent of the late 60s/early 70s spy thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen such grand spectacles as The Man in the High Castle on American television. The scale and spirit of those 80s-era militaristic miniseries that captivated audiences are represented well here and translate to the Amazon streaming screen in tact. In fact, it’s a bit of a shame that the series is rendered on the small screen. A project with such ambition and scope should be seen on the big screen which has lately lacked similar examples.
The Man in the High Castle debuts on Amazon Friday, November 20.
