Hagood Mill
SC Picture Project / Pickens County / Hagood Mill
Hagood Mill, managed by the Pickens County Cultural Commission, is an 1845 gristmill and one of the Upstate's historical and cultural treasures. The site was established prior to 1793 by Bailey Anderson. The creek that powered Anderson's mill was known as Anderson Mill Creek. William Jennings purchased the mill and surrounding property in 1793 and operated it for 10 years. When Jennings died in 1803, his widow and their son, John, continued running the mill.

Mrs. Jennings eventually remarried Joshua Smith in the early 1820s. The mill property was ordered to be sold by the court and enforced by the Pendleton District Sheriff. Sons of Jennings contested the sale and hired a barrister for court proceedings. The Jennings retained some of their property but a majority was sold to a wealthy neighbor, Ben Hagood, who was buying a lot of the property in the area due to an economic recession.

The Jennings had sold all of their property by 1825. Once Hagood purchased the property, the creek powering the mill became known as Hagood Branch or Hagood Creek. The property was transferred to Benjamin's son, James Hagood, in 1845. The mill could have been built by James Hagood but it likely could have been designed by a millwright and slave labor used to completely rebuild the mill using hand-hewn logs on a fieldstone foundation. Some pieces of the former mill were thought to have been used in this construction.

The Hagood family continued operating the mill on and off for more than 100 years, producing grits, cornmeal, flour, and animal feed. The mill's waterwheel, which stands 20 feet tall and four feet wide, is among the largest in the state, if not the largest.

Based on a 1999 interview with Ben Folger Hagood, who was born in 1925, the mill operated sporadically between 1930-1960 with operations ceasing production in 1960. The property was donated to Pickens County Museum Commission in 1971. According to Harold Wayne Turner, a resident of the area and a helper in the work completed, restoration of the mill began in 1973 with an inoperable waterwheel, the wheel was restored in 1978. The mill underwent renovations again in the late 1980s with building reinforcement, and finally by 1996 the mill was operational. The waterwheel and sluice (a sliding gate for controlling the flow of water) have been been replaced.
The restoration of the mill site included developing the property as a living folklife museum. Mill stones not just from Hagood Mill but other nearby gristmills were collected and displayed on the grounds, as seen below. Following the revival of the mill, two historic cabins were relocated to the property and restored, allowing visitors to experience nineteenth century rural Upstate dwellings.

The older of the two cabin is called the Murphree-Hollingsworth Cabin. It was built along the Twelve Mile River in Pickens around 1791 for the Reverend William Murphree, pastor of Secona Baptist Church in Pickens. A series of owners followed over the subsequent decades, with Columbus Lafayette Hollingsworth purchasing the cabin and property in 1868.
The Hollingsworth family lived in the cabin as they built a larger family estate called Twelve Mile, which burned in 1965. Eventually Hollingsworth descendants donated the cabin to the Pickens County Museum, which relocated it to the Hagood Mill site and restored it.
The "newer" cabin was built by Benjamin Hagood for his family some time after he purchased the property in 1825. It originally stood about a half mile from where it now rests and was moved once prior to being relocated to its present spot. An unusual interior room leads historians to believe that it was built as a store or trading post with a safe place to store inventory. It is known that Hagood did operate a store at his mill complex, which was a popular community gathering spot.
In 1960 the cabin was moved from its original location to the rear of property owned by Harold Davis. Davis's son, Billy, had offered the cabin's owner, W.E. Findley, $60 if he could disassemble the structure and rebuild it at his home. The offer was accepted, and the Davises rebuilt the historic cabin, where it stood until 2001. When the Davis property was sold in 2001, the log structure was purchased at auction by Dr.Larry Brotherton of nearby Easley. After briefly using the cabin for storing timber, in 2003 he donated it to the Hagood Mill Historic Site to be restored.
The Hagood Mill Historic Site continues adding relevant exhibits to the site, creating a popular historic attraction in this rustic corner of the Upstate. A reproduction blacksmith shop and cotton gin were erected on the grounds, seen above, replicating the vibrancy of a rural nineteenth century mill village. Interpreters are on hand to demonstrate not just milling – the ground goods are also for sale – but also other artisan trades and crafts practiced at the time, such as blacksmithing and quilting.
The mill is open to visitors from Wednesday through Saturday for tours and demonstrations, but the site's biggest draw is its Saturday events. On those days, up to 2,000 visitors may descend upon the grounds for a day of music and folk art. The festival-like events also draw many musicians, from traditional string bands to blues to gospel. Noted pickers such as Nick Hallman – pictured below – regularly entertain people with their traditional bluegrass sound. The mill grinds every third Saturday, all year long.
Another interesting feature of the Hagood Mill Historic Site is the soapstone boulder sitting on the grounds, seen below. On the ancient rock are two bowls, carved by Native Americans 5,000 years ago. They were crudely shaped with flint chisels and broken off before being shaped. The boulder was brought to the area in the 1950s by Harold David.

Petroglyphs
The newest addition to the Hagood Mill Historic Site is a collection of petroglyphs, or Native American rock carvings, found on the site in 2003 and thought to be 1,000 year old. They were discovered by Dennis Chastain and Mike Bramlett, locals who were searching for such artifacts and struck historic gold. The first finding was a 30-foot-rock with a carving of a human figure, the first rock carving depicting a human figure discovered in South Carolina.
Twelve years after the discovery of that petroglyph and 31 others, the rocks are finally on display within a special building designed for viewing the ancient carvings. TThe building rests on the location where the petroglyphs were found. Features of the building include special lighting which helps visitors view the hard-to-see carvings and an audio program that explains the petroglyphs and their designs. Of the 32 petroglpyhs on display, 17 depict human forms, including the "Refrigerator Man," a stick figure with a rectangular body nicknamed due to its shape. A replica of Refrigerator Man can be seen on the building in the above photo.
Hagood Mill is listed in the National Register:
Hagood Mill is a good example of the simple, functional building style employed by South Carolina upcountry pioneers in the first half of the nineteenth century. The gristmill and wooden water wheel remain as originally constructed with no alterations or additions and is one of the few such mills still in existence in South Carolina. Built in ca. 1826, the mill is an unpainted, two-story clapboard building mounted on a fieldstone foundation. Early construction methods are evidenced by hand hewn logs notched and pegged together to form the framework. Hagood Mill was built by James E. Hagood who served as clerk of court for Pickens District for many years. The mill was once part of an early commercial complex including the Hagood Store which no longer exists. Both mill and store were gathering places for residents of the surrounding agricultural area who came here frequently to have grain ground into flour and grist and to purchase supplies.
Reflections on Hagood Mill
Gary DuBose of Seneca, 2016 © Do Not Use Without Written Consent
Gary DuBose, whose photo can be seen above, says: "Hagood Mill is a popular attraction in Pickens County. Originally established in the early 19th century, an operating mill has been here for many years. Recently, a new water wheel was added and additions have been made to the property. Events are held here monthly and are free to the public. Highlights include blues, bluegrass, and old-tyme music festivals. In addition, a rare set of prehistoric carvings have been found on the site. A museum was built around them and is open during events."
Denise Campbell writes: "A Saturday spent with church friends led us to the Historic Hagood Mill. The mill was running and many people were there enjoying the day. Being at the mill took us back into a time period we knew nothing of but thoroughly enjoyed and respected."

Carla Stewart says
I grew up within walking distance from the mill. I spent my childhood playing in the woods looking for the "Indian burial ground." As a teenager I ran a trail through the woods from my house to the mill (because the road was kind of dangerous to jog on.) I would always stop and rest on that rock were the real Indian carvings were found. I think it's ironic that all those years I really was among Indian artifacts. My brother and I played in the mill quite often and ran inside the wheel. I'm surprised we were never hurt as I'm sure it's not a safe thing to do. Anywho, just felt like sharing my story with you and I enjoyed reading your information.
Harold Wayne Turner says
They started restoring the mill in 1973. They restored the wheel in 1978. How do I know I helped Jack Folger restore it! I walked on the property in 1973 to bring my father a sandwich. James Turner also helped to restore the mill. I remember it well because my first wife and I had just separated, having nothing else to do I started helping.
Thanks so much for letting us know this updated information, we have credited you in the text above. Appreciate the help!
Reed Severance says
I am the current miller at Hagood Mill. A little clarification on mill history as printed above. First off, this is the most accurate version of mill history I've seen produced. The variations are incredible. That said, here's a couple of items.
1. We do not know when the Jennings acquired the mill. I have a February 1793 land conveyance showing Anderson's Mill Creek. That tells me the mill was there in 1792 if not before.
2. Joshua Smith did not try to sell the property with it being contested by John Jennings. The property was ordered to be sold by the court and the Sheriff of the Pendleton District enforced that order. The Jennings sons contested the sale and hired a barrister for the court proceedings. Ben Hagood, very wealthy and living a couple of miles away, bought some of the property. The Jennings retained some, but by 1825, had sold that as well. I have copies of conveyances based on the court ordered sale of the property. There was a depression or severe recession about 1819. This may have caused debts to be accrued and the court ordered sale. Hagood was buying everything in sight at this time since people were forced to sell their property for debts.
3. The son, James Hagood was 19 in 1845. He may indeed have had the mill built, but it is likely a millwright was hired and slave labor used to build the existing mill. Some of the wooden members do not match the majority of other members, so those may have be reused from the Anderson / Jennings Mill.
4. Based on an interview in 1999 with Ben Folger Hagood who was born in 1925 and went to the mill as a child, the operation of the mill was sporadic from about 1930 on till about 1960. His recollection is that the mill stopped operation before 1960, but we use 1960 as the year based on this source. I have transcripts of this interview.
5. Restoration has been in fits and starts beginning in 1978 (waterwheel – not operable). Again in late 1980's (building reinforcement) and finally in 1996 made operational. Volunteers have done the majority of the work. Something is always being fixed as this is a working mill.
6. The waterwheel and sluice have been replaced.
7. I will see if I have anything on L.C. Pace. I do remember reading there was a single miller operating both Meece and Hagood Mill.
8. We grind all year on 3rd Saturdays.
9. There is pressure for the site to make money. People who want the site to remain mostly undeveloped and be a place for education and interpretation of folk ways and history need to speak out loudly and often. The site belongs to the people of Pickens County. It would be a shame if a few individuals in government direct the site to veer from what the people want.
Hello Reed, thank you so much for providing such a detailed comment. Feedback like this is invaluable and we have gotten the text updated with your information, we cannot thank you enough!
Bobby Pace says
I've always heard that my Grandfather ran Hagood Mill for awhile? I'm not sure what year or years he did or if he did, but it seem what I can remember I was maybe three or four years old and now I'm 70, I do know for sure he ran Meese's Mill and my uncle ran the store there, My uncle might have ran the store at Hagood also, My Grandfathers name was L.C Pace and my uncle was Howard Pace. If you have any info about this please respond to me, Thanks for your help.

We do not see anything listed for this year at Hagood but be sure to check out our Calendar of Events! We try to keep everyone up to date on the happening events in South Carolina! https://www.sciway.net/calendar.html
T.Catani-Haynes says
I really love this place, but kinda of fear that maybe TOO much may be added to it. It would be a shame to turn it into another "Dollywood" just to make a few bucks. We live out in the countryside and must pass it every time we go to and from town. It always looked so pristine; much like driving through a long ago place in time. We hate to see that change. Seems like that amphitheater in town could do the job of providing a place to entertain tourists. With all this "development" comes more cars, more traffic, more noise, etc. I dread having to get to town (or anywhere else) when the mill has some big (and likely more frequent), music event going on. I guess we'll just have to go well out of our way to avoid all the frenzy and human congestion, now… Oh, well… I guess big city tourist commercialism has found Pickens at last… So sad… Gonna really miss that beautiful, quiet, historic country road.
We visited the Hagood Mill a couple of years ago. My great grandfather use to work at the mill. While there we bought some of the wonderful tasty grits. We would like to have get some more and wondered if we could order on line somewhere? We live in Colorado and can't get back this year. Thank you.
Hi Deb! You can order Hagood Mill grits from the following website:

Danny Carnes says
I'm an Upstate artist & photographer. I wanted to come by an take some pictures of Hagood Mill, and was wondering if the mill still stands and is open to the public
Hi Danny! The mill currently opens each weekend to grind grain into grits, corn meal and flour. On many weekends, visitors can visit and learn about traditional arts and folk life from over 20 demonstrators of such crafts as milling, blacksmithing, quilting and the like. You can call the mill at 864-898-2936 to find out more! Hope this helps – SCIWAY

Singapore's SC Capital buys Melbourne office for US$73m
Singapore-based SC Capital Partners has bought a Melbourne office on behalf of its opportunistic RECAP fund series for A$107.08m (US$72.6m) and plans to splash A$40m refurbishing the asset.
The 19-storey office building is located at 412 St Kilda Road and above the new Anzac train station, which is part of the $11bn Metro Rail project.
"This acquisition confirms our belief in the St Kilda Road office market," said Suchad Chiaranussati, chairman of SC Capital Partners. "With vacancy at sub-6%, the lowest since July 2001, supported by limited supply and robust tenant demand, the property is very well positioned to deliver strong performance."
The 16,285 sq.m. former Victorian police headquarters is currently vacant, with refurbishments expected to start in early 2020.
Local investment manager Artifex Property Group will oversee the refurbishment, with the refurbished property scheduled to re-open its doors for occupiers in Q1 2021.
"This will be the most significant office regeneration project the St Kilda Road precinct has witnessed in the past 20 years," said Mark Frinsdorf, director of Artifex Property.
The Metro Rail project, which is scheduled for completion by 2025, features five new underground train stations and 9km twin rail tunnels running underneath the city.
Other major Melbourne office deals this year include Dexus' A$1.476bn acquisition of the 80 Collins Street precinct in May and the A$830m purchase of 242 Exhibition Street by Charter Hall and Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board in July.
The transaction comes after SC Capital raised US$850m in the final closing of fifth RECAP fund in May this year.
Founded in 2004, SC Capital has $6.8bn in assets under management.
Colliers International's Trent Hobart and John Marasco handled the off-market sale.

The Tourico Holidays team traveled to the friendly city of New Orleans, Louisiana for the premier North American travel trade show IPW (International Pow Wow) June 18-22. With a new look and feel to our booth, 35 delegates across the Product, Sales, Marketing, and Ancillary teams set forth with a message of "Bringing the World to You". As the leading wholesaler in North America, IPW 2016 was able to communicate Tourico's ever-growing global presence, with the attendance of Sales representatives from around the globe. Most notably, 4 delegates from Asia-Pacific—3 of whom were from our Chinese Sales Team.
Tourico was able to catch up with many of our partners at the show, as well as add more products to our 25+ Series of Activities (global list of activities that are 25% or more off retail), which created the opportunity for more ExclusiveDeals to be added to our hotel inventory. Tourico even hosted a few interviews with select partners.
The next IPW will be hosted in Washington, D.C. in June of 2017.


Remove barriers to the full and equal participation of women who face multiple barriers to development.
At the Global level, there are powerful theoretical grounds to substantiate that there is an intrinsic linkage between debt and governance, reduction in conflict and sustainable socio-economic growth and development. Significant debate has taken place at global level as well as within key regional and national policy-making fora surrounding the issue of Good Governance, conflict resolution, decentralisation and socio-economic development. In addition, there is abundant empirical evidence to show that many of the developed nations established the necessary conditions and conducive environments that allowed the smooth move towards democratisation, peace and stability, devolvement of power, and ultimately leading to economic growth and development.
In Africa, the late 1990s witnessed a growing realization across several states that debt and governance, peace, stability, and decentralisation are prerequisites for equitable, inclusive and sustainable socio- economic development. This has been manifested in various United Nation's declarations on Good Governance, Conflict resolution and decentralisation. GLAFAD International Journal (GOJODAG) allows academics, policy makers, local and international organisations to share up to date issues related to Debt and Governance, Conflict Resolution and Socio-economic Development.
The aim of GIJODAG is to become a leading centre of knowledge practice and development in Debt and Governance, Conflict Resolution, Decentralisation and Socio-economic Development in Africa. The aim is further to contribute towards development through quality research, advocacy and capacity building.
The Journal is managed by a Chief Editor assisted by two Deputy Editors as well as an editorial officer who receives articles from contributors.
Articles from contributors are expected to be peer reviewed before publication by two or three academic referees.
Upon submission, all authors should make sure that sources listed in the references pages are used accordingly which gives credit to authors whose work they use and avoids plagiarism. It also provides support for their assertions and arguments and helps readers to find more information on the subject.
The Chief Editor is in charge of the peer review process. All articles received are pre-edited in order to assess whether they meet the Journal requirements. Once that process is completed, all articles are sent for peer review to selected academic in the field. The editorial officer keeps contact with all contributors in order to forward them comments made by the peer review team. The article is finally accepted once the peer reviewer is satisfied with the content. The production process is controlled by a GLAFAD production editor, works towards the inclusion in a specific issue of the Journal, and then online publication.

Over 300 Tanzanian Women Married by Kenyans Protest Lack of IDs
By John Wanjohi Mon, 09/07/2020 @ 01:05pm 764 views 1 comments
Over 300 Tanzanian women married to Kenyan men in Taita Taveta County have spoken about their suffering over lack of identification documents.
The women narrated their tribulations during a meeting with the Taita Taveta Human Rights Watch lobby group, where they appealed to the government to issue them with national identity cards.
Some of them who have been married and lived in Kenya for over three decades said lack of IDs has denied them inheritance, loans, health services, among other privileges, despite being legally married to Kenyans. Their children and grandchildren are Kenyan citizens by birth.
46-year-old Rafa Salim, who has been married to her Kenyan husband for 21 years now, said she would be leading a better life is she had an ID.
"You have to bend very low to get loans in empowerment groups using your husband's ID card. Other groups and microfinance institutions do not accept a third-party identification card," Rafa said.
The 300 hundred are among at least 1,300 Tanzanian women married to Kenyans in Taita Taveta County. The high number is attributed to the county's proximity to Tanzania and cross-border trade in the porous Taveta border.
They called on Interior CS Fred Matiang'i to order local authorities to issue them with the crucial documents. The women were left out in last year's Huduma Number registration exercise.
Shamila Yahya, who has lived in the country for 17 years, says they also lack passports and Tanzanian IDs. This makes it impossible for them to enroll in the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) and other government programs such as Linda Mama medical scheme.
Another woman, Lillian Msheri, said: "We are here because of love, the only documents we have are marriage certificates and affidavits. Let the government formulate a way of assisting us."
Civil society group, Kituo cha Sheria promised to petition the government to issue the women with IDs, saying their rights have been violated.
"The constitution is very clear on dual citizenship for foreign spouses. We shall compel the government to look into the matter," said Zedekiah Dika, a legal officer at Kituo Cha Sheria.

There are legal steps one should take to get ID, if he or she is a spouse of a Kenyan.

Manila (Agenzia Fides) - The celebration of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the Gospel in the Philippines (1521-2021) has been extended for another year due to the coronavirus pandemic. As Agenzia Fides learns, according to the previously developed plan, the impressive official opening ceremony of the event - which will be the culmination of commemorations and pastoral and missionary activities scattered throughout the territory of the archipelago - was scheduled for April 2021, but will now take place in April 2022. The decision to move the date of the historic event is due to the health crisis that the nation is crossing, highlights Msgr. Pablo Virgilio David, interim president of the Philippine Bishops' Conference. "Due to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to change the schedule of our celebration of the 500 years of Christianity, which will be extended for a whole year, until 2022", he added.
The Filipino Bishops agreed that the observance will start on April 17, 2020, Easter Sunday. 2022 will therefore be the Year of the Missio Ad Gentes. The National Historical Commission of the Philippines has earlier affirmed that the site for the historic Mass was held on Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte on March 31, 1521.
In recent days, the Diocese of Maasin began a 200-day countdown to the 500th anniversary of the 1521 Eucharistic celebration on the Island in 1521. The Catholic Church also commemorates the anniversary of the first Christian baptism on April 14, 2021, an event that will be spearheaded by the Archdiocese of Cebu, in the south of the Philippines.
The Bishops' Conference decided to organize a nine-year preparatory cycle (from 2013 to 2021), assigning a particular theme to each year, with the aim of deepening and reinvigorating the missionary character of the Filipino church to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines.
To this end, each diocese has organized programs and initiatives of missionary animation and training for priests, religious, catechists, teachers, laity with the aim of promoting and sensitizing the People of God, starting with children and young people.
The Bishops also moved the International Mission Congress (IMC) and the 2nd National Mission Congress to April 2022. In this period the Bishops' Commission on the Clergy decided to organize a series of conferences on the history of the Church in the Philippines.
Spanish missionaries brought the Christian faith to the Philippines 500 years ago and today the country with the largest Catholic population in Asia (and the fourth in the world, with 80% Catholics out of 110 million inhabitants) has 86 dioceses. (SD-PA) (Agenzia Fides, 29/9/2020)

TV shows such as 'Say Yes To The Dress' have made wonder: What is the best number of people to take with you when trying on dresses?
Many Brides-2-B on the show take huge entourages with them when they try on wedding dresses. Although I can see the sentimental reason for having, both your mother and the mother in-law-2-be, sisters, grand mothers, bridesmaids etc with you, it is also worth baring in mind that everyone has their own idea about what the perfect wedding dress may be, and their ideas could well differ greatly from your own.
I always feel sorry for brides when they come out in the type of dress they have their heart set on only to have their entourage dismiss the dress or say that they don't like it. I feel even more for the Bride when she then dismisses a dress, that had she be on her own she would have chosen as 'The Dress' because her family and friends don't like it.
Of course women decide to have these people with them because they're the brides nearest and dearest and their opinion is important. From watching more episodes than I care to admit, my advice to any Bride-2-B, would be to advise your entourage what you are looking for, or what type of style you wish to achieve from your dress, so that they may be more considerate of YOUR opinion of the dress you have on before voicing their own opinion.
Lastly I would say that if your guests do voice opinions on the dress/es you are trying on that differ vastly from yours, remember this is your dress, your wedding day and ultimately you should choose a dress YOU love, because all that matters is you love it! When you look back at your wedding photos over the years to come you should be able to smile knowing that the dress you wore on your wedding day was the dress of your dreams.
How many people did you take with you or how many people are you thinking of taking?
Do you regret the number of people you took with you when trying on dresses?

Notes on Post Tags Search
By default, this searches for any categories containing your search term: eg, Tudor will also find Tudors, Tudor History, etc. Check the 'exact' box to restrict searching to categories exactly matching your search. All searches are case-insensitive.
This is a search for tags/categories assigned to blog posts by their authors. The terminology used for post tags varies across different blog platforms, but WordPress tags and categories, Blogspot labels, and Tumblr tags are all included.
This search feature has a number of purposes:
1. to give site users improved access to the content EMC has been aggregating since August 2012, so they can look for bloggers posting on topics they're interested in, explore what's happening in the early modern blogosphere, and so on.
2. to facilitate and encourage the proactive use of post categories/tags by groups of bloggers with shared interests. All searches can be bookmarked for reference, making it possible to create useful resources of blogging about specific news, topics, conferences, etc, in a similar fashion to Twitter hashtags. Bloggers could agree on a shared tag for posts, or an event organiser could announce one in advance, as is often done with Twitter hashtags.
Caveats and Work in Progress
This does not search post content, and it will not find any informal keywords/hashtags within the body of posts.
If EMC doesn't find any <category> tags for a post in the RSS feed it is classified as uncategorized. These and any <category> 'uncategorized' from the feed are omitted from search results. (It should always be borne in mind that some bloggers never use any kind of category or tag at all.)
This will not be a 'real time' search, although EMC updates content every few hours so it's never very far behind events.
The search is at present quite basic and limited. I plan to add a number of more sophisticated features in the future including the ability to filter by blog tags and by dates. I may also introduce RSS feeds for search queries at some point.
Constructing Search Query URLs
If you'd like to use an event tag, it's possible to work out in advance what the URL will be, without needing to visit EMC and run the search manually (though you might be advised to check it works!). But you'll need to use URL encoding as appropriate for any spaces or punctuation in the tag (so it might be a good idea to avoid them).
This is the basic structure:
http://emc.historycarnival.org/searchcat?s={search term or phrase}
For example, the URL for a simple search for categories containing London:
http://emc.historycarnival.org/searchcat?s=london
The URL for a search for the exact category Gunpowder Plot:
http://emc.historycarnival.org/searchcat?s=Gunpowder%20Plot&exact=on
In this more complex URL, %20 is the URL encoding for a space between words and &exact=on adds the exact category requirement.
I'll do my best to ensure that the basic URL construction (searchcat?s=...) is stable and persistent as long as the site is around.

Q: Migrating Silverlight 4 to 5 - Generating references not reusing types - svcutil on binaries asking for certain SL4 binaries I have gone through a lot of posts on stackoverflow but couldnt get to this issue.
I recently migrated from SL4 to SL5 which in turn upgraded wcf ria to v1sp2.
Note : All binaries referenced now are v5.0.5.0, but System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client(web).dll is still version 2.0.5.0 (got with RIA).
After this generating of service references for my wcf service is not able to reuse types in referenced assemblies - its regenerating types causing ambiguous reference.
Using svcutil command to test the binary which contains the types is asking for SL4 version of System.Windows which is not available and thus failing.
svcutil /t:code http://localhost:9357/Service1.svc /r:binarywithtypes.dll

Error: Cannot import wsdl:portType
Detail: An exception was thrown while running a WSDL import extension: System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerMessageContractImporter
Error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
So few questions:

*

*I am assuming that the reason its asking for SL4 binary is because some dependent assembly is still SL4. And from above reference it could be System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.dll.
So where can I find v5.0.5.0 of this binary? (ria sp2 still gives v2.0.5.0)

*Or is there some other reason that generating of references is not able to recognise types in referenced assemblies after moving to Silverlight 5?

*Any other way I can generate references re-using already referenced types?
Note:Things used to work perfectly fine in SL4!
[UPDATE]:Command line tool slsvcUtils is working fine(while VS2010Sp1 is broken) and is able to reuse referenced types.
For others reference, slsvcutils usage:
"%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Tools\SlSvcUtil.exe" /language:cs /ct:System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection`1 /n:*,<namespace> http://localhost:9357/Service1.svc /r:bin\debug\<slDllWithTypes.dll> /r:"%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v5.0\system.windows.dll" /out:"Service References\Reference.cs" /enableDataBinding /config:temp.ClientConfig

How did the American Legion get started?
The American Legion was founded by American veterans who fought in France during World War I. That war laid the ground work for the creation of the Legion. Therefore, in telling the story of the American Legion and Paris Post 1, it is appropriate to include a brief history of the war. We selected the following article originally written in French to provide that brief history.
IT WAS 90 YEARS AGO THAT THE AMERICANS LANDED IN FRANCE
Saturday June 30, 2007 - the FIGARO MAGAZINE
Translated to English by Edwin N. Canady
Flags up front, the American troops take part in the July 14, 1919
victory parade on the Champs-Elysées
"La Fayette, nous voila!" July 4, 1917, when Lt; Colonel Stanton launched his famous remark at the Picpus cemetery, at the tomb of the French hero of the American war of Independence, the American Expeditionary Force was still composed of only a few thousands of men, a drop of water in the sea of the combatants of the trenches. Yet, the course of the First World War had just changed.
To convince America to enter the conflict was not easy. Since 1914, the allied diplomats and Generals multiplied their missions, often in vain. Principal creditor of France and Great Britain, the United States encouraged the reaching of an agreement, but refused to intervene militarily, even if American volunteers were already fighting on French soil. Those volunteers had joined the Foreign Legion, like Alan Seeger the poet, the Escadrille La Fayette, as Norman Prince, or medical formations such as those of the American Red Cross. They were often in front line, but remained very few in number.
Everything changed on March 19, 1917. Germany, which had multiplied its provocations, resumed its outrageous submarine warfare and sank the American ship Viligentia. That was the last straw. On April 6, 1917, an exasperated Congress voted go to war by 373 votes to 50. But there was a critical shortage of soldiers. The United States had a small professional army. It was very poorly equipped and the only combat experience of its members had been acquired against the Indians, the Filipino rebels, the Cubans or Pancho Villa's Mexicans.
In France, the news of the American entry in the war, although it was only symbolic, was nevertheless a relief. The fall of the tsarists, the awaking of social strains and the collapse of the political movement of reconciliation, the defeat in the battle of the Chemin des Dames and the mutinies had undermined the morale of the troops. The French Army was totally drained; the British were on their knees.
Very quickly, the Americans organized themselves. The vote to have a military draft made it possible to increase troop strengths from 200,000 to 4 million soldiers. The Arrival of General John J. Pershing on June 13, 1917 with 177 Americans including a brass band ignited the population. Cowboys, Indians and Blacks fascinated crowd which was impassioned for more of them to arrive. From then on the numbers of Americans did not stop increasing. In less than eighteen months, more than 2 million men and tons materials, ammunition, weapons and supplies passed through the port of Saint-Nazaire.
From April to August 1918, the American forces little by little joined the front and were then engaged in decisive actions. The "Doughboys" fought at Château-Thierry, Saint-Mihiel, and Belleau woods, in the Meuse and in the Argonne. The German lines were broken and the armistice of November 11, 1918 stopped the advance of the Expeditionary Corps. Unfortunately, the Americans paid a heavy toll. In less than one year, 116 516 Americans were killed and 204 000 wounded.
MILESTONES OF AMERICA'S ENTRY IN THE WAR
1914: (August) Europe was at war. The United States was neutral. (October) the First American enlistments in the Foreign Legion
1916: (April) Formation of the Escadrille "La Fayette" largely made up of American volunteer pilots.
1917: (January 16) Germany proposes an alliance to Mexico against the United States in exchange of a financial assistance and restitution of Texas. (January 31) Germany resumes its outrageous submarine warfare that had been suspended eighteen months earlier after the torpedoing of the British steamer Lusitania. (February 1) the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. (March 19) the Navy of the Kaiser sank the American ship Vilgentia. (April 6) the Congress voted to declare war against Germany. (May 18) the United States institutes a military draft of men from 21 to 30 years of age. (June 13) General John Pershing commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Corps lands Boulogne-sur-Mer. with 177 Americans (July 4) LTC Stanton launches his famous remark: "La Fayette we are here!"
1918: (April to August) the American forces enter in action near the Allied ones. (July 15) overrunning of the of fortification of Château-Thierry. 30 000 "Doughboys" were killed or wounded. (September 12 and 13) battle of Saint-Mihiel. (September 25 - 11novembre) offensive in the Meuse and Argonne, "the largest and longest battle in American history" according to General Pershing.

For years D Fence LLC has kept Michigan familes safe, by surrounding their above ground and inground pools with beautiful fencing.
Any type of fence can be installed to secure your pool area, but most people choose ornamental aluminum fencing. A free consultation with D Fence LLC, will help determine what type of fence is best for you.
Fences around inground pools are not an option, but a requirement to pass final inspection. Local communities dictate their own requirements, so a little homework will be helpful. Typically pool fences have to be at least 4' high from the outside of the pool, looking in, with picket spacing so that a 4" sphere will not pass through, but always check with your local municipality.

Paul McCartney is writing his first stage musical, an adaptation of the classic movie It's a Wonderful Life.
The ex-Beatle is collaborating with Billy Elliot playwright Lee Hall, who also wrote the screenplay for Rocketman, as well as West End producer Bill Kenwright.
McCartney said he'd never considered writing a musical, but after meeting Kenwright and Hall three years ago, "found myself thinking this could be interesting and fun."
Hall said McCartney's "wit, emotional honesty and melodic brilliance brings a whole new depth and breadth to the classic tale."
Frank Capra's 1946 film tells the story of George Bailey, a small-town banker wracked with regret who is shown the value of his life by a guardian angel.
Producers said Thursday they are aiming for a late 2020 launch for the show. Its dates and venue have not been released.

Q: Read text file and copy specific text in different order into new text file using a batch script Hoping for help with a very specific problem. I'm new to batch programming and want to archive the following using a batch file.
Read all lines of a textfile1 and put values in different order into textfile2 with header line.
Example: textfile1 (input file)
From this file I want to read line by line and pick just certain content. The structure is kind of label="Value"spacelabel"Value"space and so on for each line (trying to demonstrate below):
Supplier CountryName="GB" SupplierNumber="1112|DISCOUNT|497" Street="ANDERTON HOUSE" CountryCoded="GB" Name1="ANDERTON BOARD AND PACKAGING" CorporateGroupID="497"
Supplier CountryName="GB" SupplierNumber="113093|AMB HEAD OFFICE|846" Street="Langcliffe Paper Mills" CountryCoded="GB" Name1="JOHN ROBERTS HOLDINGS LTD" CorporateGroupID="846"

Example: textfile2 (output file)
The first line should be a header line for which each label is separated by TAB and underneath I want to write the values found in textfile1 for each field.
If there is no value for a field then I want to add a TAB instead before adding the new found value.
As you can see I only want to pick the values between the quotation marks and nothing else.
The structure of textfile1 is always the same (order does not change) and the labels as well. Each line always starts with Supplier CountryName=
Just wondering if this is possible using a batch file.
SupplierNumber  Location    CorporateGroupID    Name1   Name2   Description POBox   CountryCoded
1112|DISCOUNT|497       497 ANDERTON BOARD AND PACKAGING            GB
113093|AMB HEAD OFFICE|846      846 JOHN ROBERTS HOLDINGS LTD               GB

Any input on this would be mighty helpful, thanks.

You've already spent a lot on holiday gifts, why dole out another chunk of change on expensive gift wrapping supplies? Save some money by using kraft paper (found with the postage supplies) and easy DIY embellishments. Learn how with guest host, and scrapbook diva, Sarah!
Find out just how easy it is to make this year's presents pop with heat embossed wrapping paper and DIY paper bows.
1. Wrap gifts with kraft paper.
2. Moisten stamp with embossing ink and press firmly on the area you'd like to emboss.
3. Completely cover the stamped area with embossing powder.
4. Shake off excess powder onto newspaper or scrap paper so that it can be funneled back into the jar and reused. Your design should be left behind and covered with embossing powder. If a few spots are left blank, re-coat with power and shake off again.
5. Apply heat with the embossing heat gun for about a minute. Stop when the entire design has darkened slightly. The heat causes the powder to melt slightly and permanently adhere to the paper, leaving a raised design.
1. Cut pieces of scrapbook paper 1-2 inches wide and at 3 lengths: 7 inches, 10 inches, and 11 inches. We used a paper cutter with a sliding blade like this one.
2. Cut wedges out of each end of the 7 inch strip.
3. Hot glue the ends of the 10 inch strip together to create a loop. Repeat with the 11 inch strip.
4. Squeeze the loops in half (don't crease!) and glue together.
5. Glue the two loops together (smaller on top) and glue the whole thing to the 7 inch strip.
6. Wrap a 4-5 inch strip around the center of the bow and glue on the back. Use the opposite side of the paper for a contrasting look.
7. Glue or tape the completed bow on top of the present – You're Done!
Where are you in the Wrapping Process?
a. Knee deep in tape and bows.
b. Haven't started. Still worrying about getting gifts.
c. Amateurs! I finished before Halloween.
d. Just a few left.

Q: Showing that $\lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} \bigg(\int_{0}^{R}e^{ix^{2}}dx-e^{i \pi/4}\int_{0}^{R}e^{-r^{2}}dr \bigg)=0$? In the text "Complex Variables Introduction and Applications Second Edition", I'm having trouble proving the proposition in $(1)$, could this be done through Cauchy's Theorem ?

We wish to evaluate the integral $I=\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{ix^{2}}$. Consider the contour $I=\oint_{\gamma_{(R_{1})}}e^{iz^{2}}$, where $\gamma_{(R)}$ is the closed circular sector in the upper half plane with boundary points $0,R$ and $Re^{i\pi/4}$. Show that $I_{R}=0$ and that $\lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} \oint_{\gamma_{(R)}}e^{iz^{2}}dz=0$, where $\gamma_{{(R_{2})}}$ is the line integral along the circular sector from $R$ to $Re^{i \pi/4}$. Then, breaking up the contour $\gamma_{(R)}$ into three component parts, deduce in $(1)$
$(1)$$$\lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} \bigg(\int_{0}^{R}e^{ix^{2}}dx-e^{i \pi/4}\int_{0}^{R}e^{-r^{2}}dr \bigg)=0.$$ and from the well-known result of real integration, $\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}dx= \sqrt(\pi)/2$, deduce that $I=e^{i\pi/4}\sqrt(\pi)/2$

$\text{Lemma (0.0)}$
Since our function has no poles, one can pick a Contour $\gamma_{R}$ such that:
$$\gamma_{R}^{1}(t) =  0 \, \, \text{if} \, \,  R \leq t \leq R$$
$$\gamma_{R}^{2}(t) =  Re^{i \pi/4} \, \, \text{if} \, \, \, \, 0\leq t \leq \pi$$
$\text{Lemma (1.0)}$
In order to show that $\lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} \oint_{\gamma_{2(R)}} e^{iz^{2}}dz = 0$, one must rely on the ML-Estimates, as formally discussed in $(1.1.2)$.
$\text{Estimation Lemma}$
$(1.1.2)$
Let $U \subset \mathbb{C}$ be open and $f \in C^{0}(U)$. If $\gamma :[a,b] \rightarrow U$ is a $C^{1}$ curve, then in $(1.1.3)$
$(1.1.3)$
$$\bigg | \oint_{\gamma}f(z)dz \bigg  | \leq \bigg( \sup_{t \in [a,b]}|f(\gamma(t))| \bigg) \cdot \int_{b}^{a} \bigg | D_{t}\gamma(t) \bigg |dt.$$
Utilizing $(1.1.3)$ one can achieve the upper bound for $\gamma_{R}^{2}$ in $(1.1.4)$
$(1.1.4)$
$$\bigg |\oint_{\gamma_{R}^{2}}e^{iz^{2}} dz  \bigg | \leq \big\{\text{length}(\gamma_{R}^{2}) \big\} \cdot \sup_{\gamma_{R}^{2}}|e^{iz}|\leq \pi R(e^{R}-0)$$
From $(1.1.4)$ thus we have
$$ \lim_{R \rightarrow \infty}\bigg | \oint_{\gamma_{R}^{2}}e^{iz^{2}} dz \bigg| \rightarrow 0 $$

A: From Felix Martin's comment/hint and taking inspiration from Josh Keneda, I managed to get a solution everything pertaining to the solution can be seen in
$\text{Lemma (1.1)}$
$\text{Lemma (1.1)}$
$\text{Cauchy Integral Theorem}$
$(1.1.3)$
Let $U$ be an open subset of C which is simply connected, let $f : U → C$ be a holomorphic function, and let ${\displaystyle \!\,\Gamma } \!\,$  be a rectifiable path in $U$ whose start point is equal to its end point. Then in $(1.1.4)$
$(1.1.4)$
$$\oint_{\Gamma}f(z)dz = 0.$$
In view of $(1.1.4)$, we can make the following conclusions in $(1.1.5)$
$(1.1.5)$
$$\oint_{\gamma_{R}^{2}}e^{iz^{2}} dz = \bigg( \oint_{0}^{R}e^{iz^{2}}dz + \oint_{0}^{\pi / 4} e^{iz^{2}}dz + \oint_{R}^{0}e^{iz^{2}}dz \bigg) = 0.$$
Clearly, it's trival to see that $z=x$ and in view of $\text{Lemma (0.0}) $ we have the following developments in $(1.1.6)$
$(1.1.6)$
$$\oint_{\gamma_{R}^{2}}e^{iz^{2}} dz = \bigg( \oint_{0}^{R}e^{iz^{2}}dz + \oint_{0}^{\pi / 4}e^{(iRe^{i \theta})^{2}}Rie^{i \theta}d \theta + \oint_{R}^{0}e^{(iRe^{\pi i /4})^{2}}e^{\pi i /4} dr \bigg) = 0.$$
From $(1.1.6)$, one can make the observation
$$\bigg |\int_{0}^{\pi /4}e^{iR^{2}}e^{2i\theta}Rie^{i\theta}d \theta \bigg | \leq R \int_{0}^{\pi /4} |e^{[iR^{2}(cos2 \theta + i\sin 2 \theta)]}|d\theta $$
$$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \,  \, \, \, \, \, \, \,  \, \, \, \, \leq \int_{0}^{\pi / 4} e^{-R^{2} \sin 2\theta} d \theta \leq r \int_{0}^{\pi / 4 }e^{-R^{2}(4 \theta / \pi)}d \theta$$
$$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \,  \, \, \, \, \, \, \,  \, \, \, \, = \frac{\pi}{4} \frac{1-e^{-R^{2}}}{R} \rightarrow 0 \, \text{as}\, R \rightarrow \infty.$$
whereas we have the following developments in $(1.1.7)$
$(1.1.7)$
\begin{align*}\lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} R e^{i\pi/4} \int_R^0 e^{-u^2} \frac{-1}{R} du &= \lim_{R\rightarrow \infty} R e^{i\pi/4} \int_0^R e^{-u^2} \frac{1}{R} du\\ &= \lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} e^{i \pi/4} \int_0^R e^{-u^2} du\\ &= e^{i\pi/4} \int_0^\infty e^{-u^2} du\\&=e^{i\pi/4}\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}.\end{align*}
Combining $(1.1.6)$ - $(1.1.7)$ one can arrive at the following conclusions in $(1.1.8)$$
$(1.1.8)$
$$\lim_{R \rightarrow \infty}\oint_{R}^{0}e^{ix^{2}} = \int_{0}^{\infty}(cos(x^{2}) + isin(x^{2}) \frac{\sqrt[1]{2}}{2}(1+i)dx = 0i + \frac{\sqrt[1]{\pi}}{2}$$
Comparing the real and imagery parts of $(1.1.8)$ gives in $(1.1.9)$
$(1.1.9)$
$$I=\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{ix^{2}}dx = \int_{0}^{\infty}(cos(x^{2}) + isin(x^{2}))dx = e^{i\pi/4} \sqrt(\pi)/2.$$

We've already heard Disney will be rolling out several books and other projects to fill in some of the gaps between the original Star Wars trilogy and The Force Awakens. Here's our first look at the first legit prequel.
The new Star Wars comics have been setting up some extremely fun stories, but now Disney (via Marvel) is getting ready to drop the first piece of its Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens prequel material. Dubbed Shattered Empire, this brand-new comic aims to explore the period between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. More than anything else, this book promises to provide some extremely important intel that will affect all the Star Wars movies currently in the works.
Judging by the cover art revealed below (by artist Phil Noto), it seems the series will star the main heroes Luke, Han and Leia. It also seems to be set in the wake of Return of the Jedi, meaning we'll (hopefully) pick up in the immediate aftermath of the second Death Star's destruction. Despite that victory, it seems there are still pockets of Imperial forces out there needing to be dealt with.
The first issue of Star Wars: The Force Awakens -- Shattered Empire will be released September 2015. What do you think happened in all those missing years?

Millennium Plaza Katowice is the office building divided into three independent office segments, offering more than 10,000 square meters of space in total. At the moment available office modules are located within the C-segment of Millennium Plaza, and these premises are mostly areas with the potential of arranging for future tenants, including small rooms as well as the entire floor, which has approximately 700 square meters. Due to applied design solutions, it is possible to arrange the premises both in the standard of "open space" as well as divided into rooms with individually controlled air conditioning. Additionally, the building is using the system of openable windows, suspended ceilings with lighting and full access control. The building has its dedicated surface and underground parking, each offering about 100 parking spaces, while in the front of the building along the General Sowiński Street about 150 free of charge parking spaces are available.
The building is located in short distance from the city center of Katowice, in the vicinity of the Murckowski junction, which is the intersection of Górnośląska Avenue, so-called A4 highway with the national road no. 86 Warsaw - Katowice. A major advantage of this location is a fast connection to the Krakow, situated about 70 kilometers away, and Wroclaw, less than 200 kilometers away. Getting to the Pyrzowice airport takes about 25 minutes by car, while to the Balice airport about 60 minutes. Millennium Plaza office building is located within the Valley of the Three Ponds (Dolina Trzech Stawów), the recreation area in the south Katowice, with numerous recreational and bicycle paths and tennis courts. Another advantage of this location is the neighborhood of the "Trzy Stawy " shopping center and the local Aeroclub Muchowiec airport, as well as the hotel's rich base, including, among others, Campanile Hotel, Quality Hotel and Park Hotel Diament.


There are two men at your door claiming to work for one of the public utility companies. They may state that they are doing routine inspections and would like to see your meter, furnace or fuse box. While they are both inside your home, one will accompany you to the meter that is usually in the basement. The other man, when left alone, will search your house for valuables, medication or information about you. Remember, never leave anyone you don't know, alone inside your home.
Someone may attend your home asking for directions, a glass of water or change a $50.00 or $100.00 dollar bill into smaller cash denominations. Their goal is to enter your home, while you are distracted, to steal your purse, wallet or other valuables.
A person presents him / herself at your door and says that they are out looking to purchase "antiques or collectibles" for their business. They know that some seniors may be thinking about downsizing and may wish to part with a few items. Unfortunately, it seldom stops with a few items. Before you know it, they have gone throughout your home, selected items they know to be valuable and then offer you a lot of pressure and just a little money for your treasures. It isn't until after they are gone that you realize that you didn't really want to part with these things but "it all happened so fast".
Don't let strangers into your Home!
Someone approaches you and asks you for help in either reading a label on a product or asks what ingredients you would recommend in a certain recipe. While conversing with this person, another individual takes your purse from your shopping buggy. Be extra cautious when approached by strangers.
Always keep all house or apartment doors locked, even when you are home.
If someone is at your door and is requesting access, as in a public utilities inspector, ask to see their credentials and then call the company to confirm their identity. Get the phone number from your directory.
Utility companies usually give you notice when an inspection is due.
Always be alert and cautious when dealing with strangers, either at home or in public.
If you ever have any concerns, call the police.

Interview with Michael J. Epstein By David Kempf
When did you first become interested in filmmaking?
I have had a lifelong interest in film and filmmaking, but only really started making films once digital technology made it feel cheap and accessible enough. I had played in bands for many years and had some success with music videos. We worked with other directors to make a few videos that opened some doors for us, including: 2008's The Motion Sick's "30 Lives" video, which was played on a number of TV networks including some secondary MTV channels and ended up in several Dance Dance Revolution games and 2011's Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling's "Episode 1 - Arrival" video, which ended up on Time Magazine's most creative videos list.
After those videos, it made sense that in order to be sustainable, we'd have to make our own videos. So, my partner, Sophia Cacciola and I started buying gear and creating our own videos for almost no money, which were also pretty successful.
I have always loved horror. As a kid, my best friend and I would go almost every day to the video store and look for the weirdest, most outlandish bizzaro movies we could find. We loved browsing the horror section looking for the goriest or more compelling box art and images.
It was just natural that when Sophia and I started making films, we both wanted to work in the genres that we loved most - horror and sci-fi. But I would also argue that genre is a misdirected concept. I sort of like the "fantastique" concept more than I like specific genres like horror or fantasy or sci-fi. I would say that we love and make films that are not based in realism. Nothing is more boring to us than watching something similar to what we already see in real life.
I know a lot of people consider horror to be a "lesser" genre, but to me, true drama is the least elevated genre. By not transcending realism, there is little space for subtext or any content that actually drills deeper into the audience's brain, leaving a lasting impression. Now, that said, a lot of stuff that gets called "drama" is really actually fantastique to me. Bergman, Fassbinder, Cassavetes, Altman, and a lot of other creators transcend reality in their presentation of "realistic" situations.
I just saw Altman's The Long Goodbye the other day, and on the surface, it's sort of a realistic film, but its entire subtext is built around how Marlowe can't fool his cat. It's a fantasy film pretending to be a crime drama. I don't think there is any meaningful difference between the presentation of that film and a good horror film. People considering genre are usually using arbitrary metrics that I do not really agree with as capturing important elements of film. In short, I don't like realism unless I'm watching a documentary.
Do you have any personal beliefs in the paranormal or supernatural?
Not at all. I follow the absolute rules of logic and science in which we must assume something to be untrue or non-existent until we have sufficient evidence to reject that it's possible that something does not exist. I do not think paranormal or supernatural phenomena of any kind meet that criteria.
That said, I grew up obsessed with the paranormal and supernatural. I read every book I could find in the library about ESP, UFOs, unexplained phenomena, etc. I always found the stuff super compelling, despite that, even at a very early age, I didn't really believe in any of it.
Maybe it was just the age and timing, but when I saw Children of the Stones, it really freaked me out and left me with a lasting impression about those sorts of powers and phenomena. When I visited Avebury in the mid-2000s, I still didn't want to touch the stones!
So, I guess even as logical and skeptical as one can be, it's still possible to be freaked out by the suggestion of the supernatural.
Which of your movies is your favorite and why?
It's so hard to pick a favorite. I like things about them all and hate things about them all. It's too easy to remember the challenges and compromises when you look at your work. We approach each film with a different purpose and a different need for exploration, so it's never really easy to compare them to each other in terms of our goals.
I guess if I have to look for external validation, Blood of the Tribades, which originally came out in 2016, has been picking up new reviews and coverage, even in 2019. The sustained interest means a lot to us, and it's even more amazing that we have been included in a number of comprehensive articles on the history of lesbian vampire films. It was such a specific, niche film with the specific goal of exploring that genre through a flipped lens, and getting some recognition for that is really quite moving. One of the newer reviews from this year actually made me cry because of how much the movie spoke to the writer and for them, filled the exact contextual hole in the history of that narrow film niche that we wanted to fill.
Why do you think horror and fantasy movies remain so popular?
Because they are not constrained by realism, fantastique films can use fun, compelling, challenging content to reach well below our surface perceptual understanding of the world. They have the opportunity to recontextualize everything in our lives and to change the way we see our realities. More broadly, to me, this is the specific role of art, and the abstraction of fine and high art is well accepted throughout the world and throughout history. With film, we are really only beginning to see that wider understanding of the break from reality amongst critics and scholars. Fans have known since the beginning! Even as a little kid, I knew horror was different and reached deeper than realistic drama.
We always try to bring something surprising to people who follow our work. We make sure that each project has a purpose and a different goal while ensuring that our DNA is still clearly expressed. We are big fans of theme-driven filmmaking and so far, the constant interwoven thematic threads present in our work seem to be the most relatable element to our audience. We want to start conversations and get people thinking while they have fun watching our movies.
They always start with a kind of existential question. We want to explore who we are and why we do the things we do. A lot of our films are about performative identity and questions about the existence or non-existence of a true self. We love stories testing how the same person sent on deviating paths can find commonality. Sometimes, like in our first film, TEN, this is about how performance shapes the self. When does a performance start to become your reality? For Magnetic, we actually have the same character replicated many times, each embracing a kind of classical path like art, science, or religion. In Blood of the Tribades, we explore the degradation of memory and tradition. And most recently, Clickbait is the manifestation of all of these themes in internet popularity culture. All of these ideas and controversies about social media and the internet really date back to the beginning of human consciousness. And if there are other lifeforms in the universe, these are probably universal questions for all forms of sentience.
Essentially, all great stories are about fears and insecurities and the comforts we might find to address them. We just hope that people can find something useful for navigating their own lives in our work, even if that is just a momentary escape from reality.
What do you think the difference between American horror and British horror movies are?
I am not sure how much of a difference exists anymore, but I grew up watching tons of Hammer and Amicus films, and I think being in an environment that once lived a certain history makes it more compelling to include. American cultural history is so relatively short that we have very little to draw from. There is a lot of American horror about the safety of the suburbs being a lie, for example. That is the greatest American fear from my generation. British horror often explores class subtext or other types of societal structuring that is not as pronounced in the US.
There is probably also a strange history of film dictated by the imposed censorship in each country. I love 1970s Italian films, and a lot of the content was cut for both British and American releases. Filmmakers can only make the movies they can sell, so that historical censorship has certainly led to within-safety-zone boundary pushing, which differs in each country.
I am a bit embarrassed to say that I've read very little of what is widely considered horror. I have never been a big Stephen King or Lovecraft fan, for example. Even with modern writers, I don't tend to be drawn to horror, which works better for me in visual metaphor. These days, I don't get to read as much as I'd like. I find myself watching 400+ movies a year and constantly reading scripts and writing, so my fiction reading tends to be limited to a handful of books a year, sadly. This is quite a turn, as I was an avid reader as a younger person.
When I read, I tend to love more dystopian, sarcastic science fiction or speculative fiction. Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite author. Philip K. Dick is probably second. I also love the humor of Douglas Adams and the imagination of Neal Stephenson.
My all-time favorite horror film is probably Phantasm, and I love the entire series. It's just such a great subtextual exploration of how we cope with and come to understand death across our lifespan. It has so much wonderful imagery and storytelling that I keep coming back to it.
I'm also a huge fan of The Abominable Dr. Phibes, which is probably the most fun movie ever made. Beyond that, I love 1970s Italian films like Deep Red, Short Night of Glass Dolls, Lisa and the Devil, and many, many more.
If we blur genres, I usually describe The City of Lost Children as my favorite film ever. I could probably also watch Barbarella or Death Race 2000 on repeat for the rest of my days.
In very recent years, the new Suspiria is probably my favorite modern horror film.
What do you consider your greatest accomplishment as a filmmaker?
Everything about filmmaking is surreal to me. The fact that I sometimes sit in a packed movie theater watching something I was involved with making still feels like a fantasy every time. Not everyone will like everything, but those moments where you hit someone with something that sticks deep inside of them cannot be surpassed. That is everything I always wanted to do with creating, and when it happens, it means the world to me.
Do you have any advice for new filmmakers?
Everyone is going to try and stop you and tell you that you should not be making films. When I say everyone, I mean everyone. Just be ready for a lot of rejection and a lot of mistakes and failures. If you can cope with that, just keep creating and working hard to get better and achieve something closer to what you envision.
Celebrate your successes, but not for too long. Keep going forward!
I have also solemnly sworn to always answer this question by saying to make sure to shoot your movie with 180-degree shutter angle. I keep seeing indie films at festivals shot unintentionally with shutter-speed technical problems. Don't do that.
We have four micro-budget feature film projects that seem to be going forward. A lot of the timelines on these will just depend on money, and projects collapse all the time, so it's hard to say too much about them yet. The only one we can talk about is a documentary currently in post-production about women's experiences in rock music, as part of the Women of Rock Oral History Project, for which we've been shooting video interviews for years.
Sophia Cacciola and I run the production company, Launch Over, with a primary mission of creating socially conscious narrative and documentary films, especially in the horror and science-fiction genres. We've release four features so far: social satire horror, Clickbait (2019); vampire throwback, Blood of the Tribades (2016); cerebral time-loop trance, Magnetic (2015); and deconstructed murder mystery, TEN (2014).
We hope to see you at the theater!
