"Howard Original" (2020): Filmmaker Natalie Rodriguez on her Homage to the Warped and Wonderful World of the Writer
December 7, 2020 John Smistad Leave a comment
As some of you may have gathered by now, I am a writer. I enjoy writing. I have a passion for it. I write from my soul. I write every day. And every day I believe I improve a little bit more. Including becoming incrementally better at withstanding and surviving the constant barrage of diabolical doubt, rewrites of rewrites, pitiless rejection and self-flagellation that goes part and parcel with this most lonely of pursuits. So why do I, and so many other otherwise seemingly sound people on this planet, do this for crap sake? There are no easy answers. At least none that I've found at any rate.
How about this? We just do. Hey, who says writing has to always be profound?
Filmmaker Natalie Rodriguez is a writer. She composes original stories for the movies that she also directs. Her latest effort, "Howard Original", explores the world of the screenwriter in a decidedly unusual and provocative manner. I've seen "Howard Original". And for the second occasion now, I had the opportunity to talk with Rodriguez about her work.
"Howard Original" is about writing. The inspiration. The creative influences. The process. The satisfaction. The pride. And, alas, the pain inherent in relentless rejection and frustration. Share with us why you write, Natalie. What keeps you writing?
When Kevin (Michaels, "Howard Original" co-writer and star) and I first met, we always talked about the writing process as both an indie filmmaker and someone who writes for a studio. That was what, ultimately, created and built the story and world of HOWARD ORIGINAL – those thoughts, worries, and fears of making it and not making it in the entertainment industry. Very much Like HOWARD, what keeps me writing is truly the joy of creating that world, whatever it may be. As we also see in HOWARD ORIGINAL, those characters and the story's world certainly becomes part of the writer(s)' life; we care about the characters and want to find out their reasons and goals in life. That is how we felt about sharing HOWARD's story – why he was so frustrated and wanted to finish his long-overdue script.

The actress audition scenes in "Howard Original" are uniformly involving and hilarious. We get the feeling that, though on face outrageous, this is likely not too far from the "real world" experiences. As a filmmaker and an active professional participant, is what we see here on screen what you experience in audition rooms on a regular basis?
We had a lot of fun working with the different actresses that day. Sadly, I can say that many of my peers – both actors and actresses and behind the scenes people such as myself – have heard stories of casting calls gone wrong or many producers faking casting calls to get a date (you get the point) with certain actors. It truly is disgusting how many stories I, myself, and I know Kevin heard over the years. Usually, when I ask some of these peers, who experienced racism or sexism during a casting call, on what they do afterward or during the audition(s) itself, most of them respond with, "Nothing". The saddest part is how many of the actors are even told by their agents and managers, or by the standards of 'Hollywood,' to "shrug (it) off' and just "take" these type of inappropriate comments or suggestions. I certainly think that is changing, especially with the pandemic happening many unions look to be locking down on specific rules and regulations which should have happened years ago.
**Also, major shout out to Space Station Studios for letting us film at their location; they, unfortunately, closed down due to COVID-19**
Darianna Parra is quite good in the role of your alter ego in "Howard Original". The film also reveals her to be one helluva dancer, as well. So we're all curious. Is the talented Ms. Parra doing due justice to your own moves, Natalie?
Darianna was FANTASTIC and we were fortunate to have her on the HOWARD ORIGINAL team. Those dance moves were a mix of improv and choreography. The dance was choreographed by MS. DARIANNA and KEVIN and I sort of suggested what HOWARD would do. Like you always hear with most feature film productions, that shoot date was crunch time, and, in fact, we were losing the sun fast and being outdoors we had maybe around an hour tops to get in that dance sequence with (the characters of) RODRIGUEZ and HOWARD. I wish I was a dancer, but, sadly I am not – I definitely need DARIANNA to give me more pointers. I remember when we shot the dance sequence, Daryl Hall, who is also our film editor, and I were sort of dancing/shuffling around DARIANNA and KEVIN during the dance sequence. Most of the time, I was standing behind DARYL and holding onto the back of his shirt so our shadows would not reflect on-camera. It was my first time filming a dance sequence, too, which (is) something I always wanted to do :)
I have now seen both of your feature films, having reviewed your debut treatise on mental health, "The Extraordinary Ordinary", earlier this year at this link:
https://thequickflickcritic.blogspot.com/2020/09/first-time-feature-filmmaker-natalie.html
These are two very different stories, and show a decided range in subject matter that interests you. What other areas of our human condition are you investigating for future releases?
Thank you so much for watching The Extraordinary Ordinary! I am super proud of both THE E.O. and HOWARD ORIGINAL. I love dramas and comedies and definitely want to continue to pursue both. Earlier this year, I was supposed to dive into directing a horror-thriller script of mine, INNER CHILD; but of course, due to the pandemic, it was necessary to postpone until it was safer to be on set again. Something that a lot of peers do not know or might remember, and I am sure I can say the same for KEVIN too, our shorts and TV and feature film sizzles were always different genres. Some of my favorite earlier shorts were a series called THE D, which is about twenty-something-year-old men dealing with the aftermath of a breakup. That was also the first time I worked with a male ensemble. KEVIN was also one of the first people to watch that series. I think that is why KEVIN and I bond on a creative level, because we always want to branch out and try different genres, rather than sticking to one or something that we are individually known for by our peers. We actually talked about that not too long ago, wanting to always try something new story wise and continue to grow.
Kevin Michaels
Kevin Michaels co-wrote the script for "Howard Original" with Rodriguez and stars as the titular character. I asked Michaels about his inspiration as an actor for this uncommon and broad-ranging role.
Your character of Howard occupies a space far beyond obnoxious. Did you bring to your most eclectic performance the characteristics of those you have actually encountered in "the biz"? I would hope no. I anticipate otherwise. ;]
Howard, as a character, is an amalgam of everyone I've met in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, more baddies around than good, and for acting purposes, caricatures of themselves already, so you don't need to adapt much. I've seen a lot of entitlement. Very few people practice gratitude for having jobs. They complain about gatekeepers, secretly wishing to be gatekeepers. I know that sounds pessimistic about the industry, but that's the place that Howard comes from.
"Howard Original" recently made its virtual worldwide premiere at the Silicon Beach Film Festival, streaming on the Roku Channel. The movie is now screening virtually at the Culver City Film Festival through this Thursday, December 10.
Rodriguez says that her film is also available for potential screening globally by submitting a request through IndieSeats at this link:

Cesc Fabregas has hit out at Arsenal claiming he is only an Arsenal player because the club will not allow him to leave.
The Spain midfielder also says he believes there is no reason why he cannot play in the same team as Barca stars Andres Iniesta and Xavi.
Fabregas said: 'Barcelona did all they could to sign me but Arsenal told me I had to stay, that there was no way they were going to let me go.

Sorry, this is a long one with lots of words, but I write this in hopes of helping anyone who may run a marathon someday, or specifically the rock and roll marathon savannah.
As you may know, I ran the Rock n Roll Marathon Savannah last Saturday. We got to Savannah last Thursday night. I wanted Friday to be pretty low key and casual, and didn't want to feel rushed. I actually spent most of the day on my feet Friday, which was something I DIDN'T plan on doing, but it all turned out okay! We went to the expo to pick up my bib and just spent some time scanning everything.
I have never done a Rock and Roll race before, but have heard great things. Clearly, I was very excited to run the Rock and Roll Marathon Savannah.
While I used to be nervous and freaked out about the distance, I was actually pretty excited to run the 26.2. I was mentally and physically prepared for the marathon. This video made me laugh a little before the race.
Saturday morning (race day) started early. We got up at 4 am and I had my typical pre-race breakfast, some coffee, water with nuun, and oatmeal with peanut butter, yogurt and fruit. I prefer this peanut butter because it's simple on the stomach.
We were parked by 5:45 and started walking the mile to the starting line. I wanted to conserve as much energy as possible, so we walked slowly. It was chilly! I had a long sleeve shirt and long pants on.
Once I went to bag drop, I put the pants in my bag, but kept the ratty long sleeved shirt, which I ended up ditching at mile 3. Here are some cheap long-sleeved shirts if you don't have any. Highly recommend grabbing some before the race so you don't end up giving away an expensive piece of tech wear.
By 7:15, I was lined up in my corrale. The rock and roll marathon savannah race started at 7:30.
It was certainly an exciting atmosphere. I was actually really hungry before the race started, so I opened my first Huma gel and had half of it (the pomegranate is my favorite flavor). Numerous people had told me to start slow, and Ed reiterated it. He told me not to run faster than 9 minute mile pace for my first 2-3 miles, then I could speed up a little bit depending on feeling. I stuck to the plan, which set me up well. I felt really good for the majority of the race!
My pace started to slightly increase after mile 3. Despite being overly excited, I kept reminding myself that I had SO LONG to go. So, I just did what felt natural.
At this point, I continued to feel good. I finished my 2nd full huma gel. Though I wasn't "hungry," I had been taking bites every mile or to prevent myself from getting hungry or depleted at any point. I also planned my huma gels before a water stop was coming up, so then I could wash it down with water. I also kept my own water bottle with tailwind in it, which also provided me with calories, carbohydrates and sodium. Another key player I couldn't have gone without!
I grabbed some water from every water stop and I think that really helped. You want to make sure you don't fall behind on your water intake. If that happens, you can't catch up and your performance will suffer. So it really worked for me to have a sip or two at each stop alongside a swallow or two of gel.
I was finding my groove, as I expected. Once I got out of the large crowd and masses, I knew I was running my race. The race would start to split at the half mark, so I kept telling myself to make sure I still had a lot left at that point. It can be really depressing to reach the halfway mark, see people finishing, and know that you still have a couple hours of running left. The half marathoners stayed straight to finish, while the full looped left on the Harry Truman Parkway.
Miles 12-14 were pretty bland because we were just on the freeway. I think there was maybe one band, but there were none to very little spectators, and nothing to look out. Honestly, I'm not sure why they included this in the race. It was pretty boring, and would be even more brutal on the way back. My half marathon time point was right around 1:51.56. I was ahead of my goal pace, but tried not to freak out.
The course got a little bit better at these miles, as we turned into the Medical University Center and then went through Savannah State University. This was probably my favorite part. The students were out cheering, the atmosphere was lively, and I had hope that the end was in site, and I was still feeling good. We went through the campus and essentially did a big loop.
My 20 mile time was under 3 hours (my goal), right around 2:50. Around mile 20, though, my entire lower body started hurting. My shoulders were getting sore too, but I knew I had to keep powering through. My pace started to slow a tiny bit, but I was still feeling relatively good overall. I knew I still had some miles left in me so I started relying on the "pump up" songs from my playlist. My focus was on the consistent fuel and water. It was helping, because I realized that body was adapting to and using the carbs and water.
Essentially, we were back on the Harry Truman Freeway at this point. This was my least favorite part of the race. There was a slight hill with mile 22. At this point, I was really hoping we'd get to the city streets soon because I needed some scenery and people cheering. There was no crowd support or spectators at this point, and people were beginning to hit the wall at this point.
I started wondering when I would see Ed and my parents and I was starting to feel like I needed them. Ed had run the half (he finished 7th by the way!), and I knew he was tracking me on his phone, so I knew he would find me. Just after mile 24, right before we headed off the highway, I saw him. He snapped this photo and started running alongside me and telling me what to expect for the remainder of the course.
Ed was so encouraging, telling me how great I was doing. While I was encouraged that I was way ahead of my goal time and finish, I knew the last two miles would be the hardest yet.
Ed knew I was hurting but he kept reminding me to drop my arms and run relaxed. Lucky for me, he helped me navigate the half marathoners who were still on the course so I could pass them. He told me my parents were waiting by the finish line when I asked if they had arrived. Hearing that gave me the extra boost of motivation I needed.
I took my headphones out and just listened to Ed's coaching the last two miles. He told me how great I was doing and that I was almost there. Even after mile 25, the final 1.2 miles sounded really far. I just kept telling myself, "10 more minutes," "9 more minutes," and kept counting down.
While it's hard to feel any bit appreciative when you're in that much pain, I tried to remind myself how lucky I was to even have this experience in the first place. I took in the scenes, the people, the weather, and even my hard earned sweat. I began feeling appreciative, but tired and overwhelmed at the same time. ALL THE FEELINGS!
About half way through mile 26, race volunteers and workers started cheering loudly and saying I was almost there. Then, I heard my dad cheering, which was just what I needed for the final boost. Funny story: He figured I'd be exhausted by this point and he would be able to run alongside me to the finish. However, I was running Ed's pace and blew right by him. He couldn't keep up but he got a great video! By the way, Hurdy was my highschool/college nickname.
For the final minutes, I just kept telling myself how close I was and how hard I had trained for this. It was the most pain I'd experienced in running, my bottom limbs felt numb and I felt like I was going to throw up. These are not exaggerations! The finish line seemed farther and farther the closer I got.
Whatever I had left in me, I used. I thought I saw the finish line, yet it ended up being a slight right turn, which was quite devastating. The finish line was still maybe 300 yards away. I had just given everything I had left in me, thinking that was the finish line! At that point, I just did the best I could.
Upon crossing the finish line, it took a few seconds for it to hit me. I HAD FINISHED A MARATHON! I was tired, sore and shocked and just wanted wtaer. People were handing me chocolate milk, water, bananas, gatorade, etc. My parents and Ed met me at the finish line and it felt so good to be done. I grabbed some water and a banana, and headed out to Forsyth Park, where people were gathering after the finish.
Looking back, I don't think I "hit the wall" at any point. The consistent fueling with my huma gels (4 total) and water really helped. I avoided the gatorade by all means since I practiced with it once and got stomach cramps immediately. I also had my own water bottle with tailwind that I sipped on when the water stops were further than I thought or I felt thirsty immediately.
After the race, I got a quick 5 minute massage on my shoulders and legs and drank some chocolate milk and Michelob Ultra beer, since they were giving it out for free. Great refueling if you ask me! And we got these sweet jackets as marathon finishers!
It was such a fun finishing atmosphere and I would love to someday race the Rock and Roll Marathon Savannah again.
My finish time was 3:41.57, which I was thrilled with. I was the 190th finisher overall and the 42nd female out of 1151. In my age group, I was 11th. I'm proud of these accomplishments. It's amazing what the body can do and a relief to see all of my training pay off.
Take a minute and be proud of yourself, for something…anything at all. Tell me. I'm linking up with Hoho Runs and Misssippipiddlin for the Weekly Wrap!
I am running my first full tomorrow morning and I am freezing out!
Hi Sylvie, thank you. How did your first full go?? I hope it went well! I carried a plastic water bottle until it ran out, and then I just got water at the aid stations. I practiced running when holding a bottle and that helped me mentally!
Wow this is awesome! Good for you, it must feel great to be a marathoner! I have been thinking about doing a marathon but I need to train for it, a lot! I am an avid runner just have never put anything together for a race. How long did you train for? How long do you suggest training for? weeks, months, years? Again, good for you! This is a huge motivator for me. Thank you!
Hi Lindsay! My training plan was about 4-5 months out, but I have been running consistently (10-13 mile long runs) for the last year or so, so I did feel that my body felt primed. If you feel like you have a good base, 6-8 months may be a good training season but it really just depends! Let me know if you have any specific questions, I have a few posts on my blog about marathon training under the Running Section!
Hi, thanks for sharing us a video and great post.
Do we ever plan on being on our feet all day before a marathon? I bet it was hard not too in such a beautiful city. I've visited only for a few short hours which left me wanting to explore more!! I hope to get back there!
Sarah, YOU are a MARATHONER!!! Doesn't it just feel awesome lady? You trained hard for this and dug deep, deeper than you ever though but you finished and finished strong!!! A huge Congratulations to you!
HUGE congrats!!! What an amazing first marathon!! You rock!
Thank you Nicole! Currently planning it… haha!
Thanks you EMILY! Are you planning on doing another soon?
Congratulations ! That is an amazing time for your first marathon. You make it sound so easy ! What training plan did you use ?
Doesn't the accomplishment feel great ? When is your next one ?
Thanks, Karen! I just combined a few random ones and my husband (who used to be a college coach) made a few tweaks. I hope to do another in the spring maybe…any recommendations?
Wow, congratulations on your marathon, what an amazing job for your first time!! I'm running my first one in Philly this weekend and I've started to get a little nervous, lol!
Good luck Janelle! Just remember that you have done all the training and to just relax!
I expected the same thing from myself. I think each race we can use as a learning lesson for the next!
Congrats on your first marathon! You "rocked" that race! Way to go.
I need to start having either oatmeal or yogurt in the morning again! :O That yogurt looks so good! Congrats + great job on your first marathon–you should definitely be proud! <3!!! That's such an amazing accomplishment!
Congratulations! Say it with me, you are a marathoner! And a speedy one at that! A great time for your first one. Did you catch the bug? Will there be other marathons in your near future? Enjoy your recovery!
Wow, what a way to kick off your marathon career! 🙂 Such great pacing and I love how Ed coached you in at the end. Congrats to him too!
Thank you! It was a life saver to have him pacing!
Congrats on that amazing strong first marathon! I'm so impressed with your steady pacing and strong finish! You must feel so happy!
Thank you Wendy! Such a great feeling to know I completed one and had fun with it!
Congratulations on an amazing first marathon! You worked very hard and the yummy icing on that cake was the race experience itself.. You should be very proud. I watched your Dad's video. You were smoking that pace late in the race. That jacket is very nice. It makes me want to run it now! Thanks for linking, Sarah!
Thank you!! You should run it next year 🙂 It was a fun race!
Congratulations!!! What a great first marathon! I also ran my first marathon the same day. It didn't go as well but still a good experience!
Huge congrats to you, Jennifer! Running a marathon in itself, no matter the circumstances, is a huge accomplishment!
Fabulous job! So so so so so many congratulations! You ran a solid race and yep, you hit the pain cave, but you didn't let it defeat you! FANTASTIC!
Congrats on such a strong and smartly run first marathon! Your husband is so encouraging – it's so sweet to read!
I didn't take in enough water or electrolytes during the first half of my marathon and it's what set me up for a rough half of the race. You were so smart to hydrate and fuel consistently!
I made sure to put a huge emphasis on the hydrating since so many people told me similar stories. I guess we just learn from every race!
Way to go, girl! Congratulations! That is a huge achievement!
Oh my goodness what an accomplishment! It sounds like you had an amazing race. Hearing from all the marathon finishers in the past weeks has made me really want to run one. Although I don't have the time to train now, it's a great goal for the future. For now, maybe I'll try a 10 miler or half. Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks, Meah. You have plenty of time to run one, so I wouldn't rush it. The 10 mile distance is actually my favorite race!
Wow. Aha – this was so intense to read!! I felt like I was reading a thriller novel… I kept wondering what was going to happen and just wanted you to pull through!
And holy man did you ever. You are giving it in that video!! What is so awesome is I can feel all the love and support beaming out of Ed and your family. Having Ed run beside you must have been such a feeling of support and encouragement. They were all there for you!!
I didn't mean for it to be like a thriller novel but I'm glad it kept your attention! 🙂 Ed is a life saver, such a keeper he is. I am enjoying catching up on so much rest!
Wow HUGE accomplishment!! Congratulations! Sounds like an awesome race!
Oh my God I know exactly how you feel! I started crying before the race in the starting chorale because I couldn't believe I was there! The last 6 miles really are the pain cave aren't they? You did so well!
Such an awesome race!! It sounds like you ran really well. You definitely gave it everything you had and its awesome that you never really hit the wall. How great that Ed was able to run at the end with you! Im sure that his encouragement helped alot. Congrats again!
His encouragement definitely helped! I'm glad I had fun with it…I was really hoping I wouldn't hate the marathon distance, but I think I want to do another!
Wow you were BOOKING it at the end in the video! That's awesome! Congrats again on being a marathoner and thanks for sharing your experience! I've only run halfs so I've never tried to use gels or anything like that. That's definitely something I'd want to try for a full!
Thanks so much, Liv! Do you want to try a full someday?
Yes, definitely! I'll probably wait till after college since I'm usually operating on slightly reduced sleep and energy haha and training for a race may not be in the cards right now but I want to ASAP!

Q: Task update on Windows Forms I am trying to design an application which creates a new employee data for an organization. My requirement is when a new employee record is being created by any existing user there is a main form of the application on which I need to show that an existing user has created a new user. For example, if the existing user is A and new user is B then the message on the main form should be as mentioned below:
A has created a new User B.
I am stuck in the place where I am not able to understand how to display this message on my main form.
For this do I need to keep listening to the database and in case any new row is created, then display the message accordingly or there is some other way as well as I do not want the application to keep hitting the database unnecessarily.
I am new to C# and so stuck here and need help.
Regards
Vineet More

The FireStudio Mobile is a ten-input, six-output professional recording system that combines two PreSonus XMAX™ Class A microphone preamplifiers; six line-level, analog input channels; S/PDIF digital input and output; MIDI I/O; and headphone monitoring with separate gain control. The FireStudio Mobile beats any and all competition when it comes to flexibility and input count. You can record a whole band with the FireStudio Mobile.
True 48-Volt Phantom Power – Even When Powered By Your Laptop!
Here's a dirty little secret: bus-powered mobile interfaces from other manufacturers deliver much less than the full 48 volts of phantom power that is specified by microphone manufacturers. This means even the finest condenser microphone can't work at optimal internal gain levels, potentially compromising sound quality even before the signal gets to the mic preamp!
PreSonus president Jim Odom and his team of engineers went the extra mile and created an "internal switching power plant" that lets the FireStudio Mobile convert computer bus power into a full 48 volts of phantom power, as well delivering 30 volts to power the superb mic preamps.
High Voltage. The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Most off-the-shelf, op-amp-based designs run on power rails of 10V to 18V. Higher-voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs, and a richer overall sound.
Discrete components—not op-amps. We only use genuine transistors, resistors, and capacitors. Op-amps add noise, coloration, and harshness to a signal. Our discrete design delivers ultra-low noise and transparency.
Class A. Class A circuits have no crossover distortion and deliver purer, clearer, and more musical results than the Class AB designs that are found in many preamps.
The net result of the XMAX preamp design is high headroom, low noise, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response, and—most important—musicality and transparency, with smooth highs, solid deep lows, and everything in between.
A pair of 3-LED level/clip indicators let you check the signal levels for channels 1 and 2, and a button enables 48V phantom power for the two mic channels. Also on the front panel are gain knobs for the two mic/instrument inputs and for the main stereo outputs and a stereo headphone output with gain knob. Gain for the mic inputs ranges from –10 dB to +70 dB; the high-impedance instrument inputs range from –30 dB to +50 dB of gain. Finally, a power/sync indicator LED shows whether the FireStudio Mobile is receiving adequate power and is correctly receiving word clock.
On the back are 6 more balanced, ¼-inch line level inputs for channels 3 through 8, plus a DB9 connector that accepts a breakout cable (included) to provide stereo S/PDIF digital I/O and MIDI I/O. You get two FireWire 400 ports: one port connects to your computer, and the other can be used to connect a hard drive or to daisy-chain any FireStudio-family interface, including the StudioLive 16.4.2 digital mixer, allowing you to integrate the FireStudio Mobile into a larger system.
FireStudio Mobile's A/D/A converters have a dynamic range of 118 dB for unbelievable clarity.
Synchronization to your computer is stable and robust, thanks to JetPLL™ synchronization technology. JetPLL incorporates noise shaping to virtually remove all audio-band jitter, ensuring near-perfect clock performance and optimal converter performance when networking two or more digital-audio devices. JetPLL quickly locks to any digital format through a wide range of frequencies and is extremely robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. As a result, you'll experience better stereo separation and clearer, more transparent audio.

We need the crowd behind us - Neill

THE SAMBA dancing has been put aside and reconnaissance has been the main activity for the Socceroos ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.
>>> click here to see the socceroos' presser
Only an under-strength Iraq sits between the Socceroos and their ticket to Brazil for what would be a third straight World Cup appearance for Australia.
After a comprehensive 4-0 win over Jordan a week ago, it would appear the biggest challenge for coach Holger Osieck is to ensure his squad aren't already thinking about the sands of the Rio beaches.
While Iraq are out of contention for qualification and with a young and inexperienced squad making the trip to Sydney, it would seem a formality the home side will get the job done.
On the eve of the biggest qualifying match in years, skipper Lucas Neill is adamant no one has looked past the challenge of toppling Iraq.
"The atmosphere's been very low-key in a positive way," Neill said. "Everybody's been very calm. The manager and the senior players have made sure no one's talking about dancing the samba.
"Nobody's in Brazil yet. The fact is We need one game, one win. Then we can start thinking about all the dreams coming true.
"There's no easy games in football. Football at any level and any opponent needs to be respected.
"Just because you don't know anything about them doesn't mean they are not good. We've never underestimated any of our opponents."
Osieck was giving little away about his starting line-up for the ANZ Stadium clash, only confirming all 26 members in the squad were fit and available for selection.
While it would be a surprise to see any changes to the side that has performed so well over the last fortnight, the same can't be said for their opponents.
Iraq's two most experienced players Younis Mahmoud and Nashat Akram have retired from the national side meaning the majority of the squad is made of young talent on their way to the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey later this month.
Osieck admits the unknown make-up of the Iraqi side, coupled with the fact they have nothing to lose, makes them a dangerous proposition.
"You should never underrate the new generation. We know from their Olympic team as well they have a lot of potential," the German said of Iraq.
"They want to impress as well. They have a new coach, they want to make their mark and they want to get a starting position in the team.
"They will challenge us. They will not hide and knowing all Iraqi teams are athletically educated, have pace and good technique.
"They will definitely give us a tough time. But we are prepared I can assure you."
When asked what impact the fans can have in getting the Socceroos over the line, Neill said: "Iraq's a team that's not going to be intimidated.
"They are a team of fighters, possibly because of the nature of the way they been brought up. It's going to be difficult we have to get into them early.
"But the way the crowd can help is by singing the national anthem like they did in the Uruguay game all those years ago which was hair standing up on the back of your neck stuff.
"From there it gives the boys that buzz to go out and start well and put Iraq immediately under pressure."
While a victory will ensure progression to Brazil, anything less will make for a nervous few hours before the other game in the group between Jordan and Oman.
If Australia draw or lose, they will need Jordan to avoid a defeat to remain in the automatic qualifying spot, otherwise they will fall into the lottery of the play-offs as the third best team in the group.
• Earlier the NSW government revealed the Cahill Expressway alongside Sydney Opera House and leading to Sydney Harbour Bridge would be renamed Tim Cahill Expressway for the next 48 hours to celebrate the Socceroo legend.

Scientists Will Soon Drop Antimatter to See How It Behaves in Gravity
Filed to:antimatter
The ALPHA experiment at CERN

Antimatter continues to behave just like regular matter, no matter what tests scientists throw at it. And in the face of yet another new challenge, antimatter has again refused to crack.
In a new study, physicists attempted to find differences between matter and antimatter—confusingly, also a kind of matter, but with the opposite charge and other differences. It's like an evil twin. Confusingly, the universe has way more matter than antimatter, for no clear reason. Physicists haven't found the specific differences they were looking for when studying the antimatter version of hydrogen, called antihydrogen, but they have demonstrated a way to study antimatter better than ever before.
Physicists group the universe's matter in several ways, but the one that has inspired perhaps the most interest from us non-physicists is ordinary matter versus antimatter. Every particle has an antiparticle with the same mass but opposite charge (and other properties), like its mirror image. Immediately after the Big Bang, there should have been an equal amount of matter and antimatter particles. When the two meet, they annihilate into energy, leading people to say things like "the universe shouldn't exist." But for some reason, the particles that make up you, me, the Earth, the Sun, and virtually everything we see are mostly ordinary matter. Only one in every billion particles in the universe is antimatter, according to CERN.
"The antimatter physics community is trying to find the matter-antimatter difference at different frontiers," Gunn Khatri, a physicist at CERN who was not involved in the new study, told Gizmodo, "Every step made is getting us closer to answer one question: 'Why is antimatter so much less common than regular matter?'"
Scientists hoping to understand antimatter have a tool at their disposal called the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN. This machine produces, and slows, the proton's antimatter counterpart. ALPHA (the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus) combines these antiprotons with positrons, the antimatter counterpart of electrons, to form an antihydrogen atom.
Once the researchers trap the antihydrogen atoms, they probe them the same way they might study a regular atom. For each round of the experiment, ALPHA scientists shot 500 antihydrogen atoms with laser pulses, causing the atoms' electrons to jump into a higher energy state. The electrons then drop back down, and the antihydrogen atoms release photons with a characteristic wavelength. This is the well-known Lyman-alpha transition, used frequently in astronomy to study very distant objects.
The researchers measured the photons that came out, and they were essentially the same as the wavelengths you'd expect from a regular hydrogen atom, according to the study published in Nature. At this point, researchers continue to see that properties they hoped might differ between matter and antimatter appear to be the same. But this experiment has an important second use: "We want to use it to do laser cooling of antihydrogen," Jeffrey Hangst, the spokesperson of ALPHA at CERN in Switzerland, told Gizmodo. "This is the first demonstration" that their new laser-cooling method is doable in experiments.
Physicists use lasers to trap and cool atoms to temperatures extremely close to absolute zero. Observing the electron jumping up an energy level and releasing photons in response to a laser pulse in antihydrogen is a "decisive technological step," according to the paper. It demonstrates that scientists may soon be able to laser-cool antimatter atoms as well. That will allow them to perform more precise measurements.
ALPHA, for example, will soon be upgraded with equipment that will allow it to drop antihydrogen atoms to see whether they interact with gravity differently than hydrogen atoms do. This will be another important test.
This has nothing to do with CERN's transport-antimatter-with-a-truck folks, but it's still important research. Any difference between antimatter and regular matter will ultimately help us determine why all of the universe's matter didn't just annihilate to nothing after the Big Bang. Folks like Hangst don't know what they'll find in their experiments, but every new result drives them to keep searching.
Said Hangst: "We're just after the truth."

Programming External Flash Memory with "C:\projects\Papilio\loader\zap-2.0.7/hardware/zpuino/zpu/bootloaders/p1_250k/zpuino-1.0-PapilioOne-S3E250-Vanilla-1.0.bit".
Error: SPI Status Register [0x00] mismatch (Wrong device or device not ready)..
The last two lines indicate that an unrecognizable flash type was detected. The SPI flash on my board is an SST M25P40VP. After digging a bit more it appears that the M25XX family of SPI flash devices isn't supported in the loader. Although the flash is marked as an SST, it falls in the Numonyx/Micron category because SST was one of the partners that formed Numonyx. The manufacturer ID for the M25XX parts is 0x20, which is the same as Numonyx/Micron in the loader code. The only Numonxy/Micron parts supported are the newer N25XX family, which have a memory type = 0xBA while the M25xx parts have a memory type = 0x20. Hence, the above error makes sense.
The loader source file where the SPI flash types are defined is progalgspi.cpp at https://github.com/GadgetFactory/Papilio-Loader/blob/master/papilio-prog/progalgspi.cpp Here is the relevant section of code.
Is there anyone who'll volunteer to rebuild the loader for windows with the above changes? I'm primarily an mswindows guy and just enough of a linux person to get bogged down in rebuilding, whereas an expert could do it rather quickly.
After the loader is rebuilt can I simply replace papilio-prog.exe in my ZAP IDE at <somewhere>\zap-2.0.7\hardware\tools\papilio\papilio_loader\bin\? Or do I need to replace more files?
I'm a bit puzzled why the SPI flash on my Papilio One is not supported by the loader. I assume that I have a very old board and the M25P series wasn't used on very many Papilio Ones, otherwise this issue would have likely been reported already.
Now I can burn a bootloader (or any other bit file) into my Papilio One board. After burning the bootloader I attempted to load the sample sketch. Unfortunately the attempt to load was met with the following error.
The above error indicates that the lack of support for M25PXX SPI proms in the papilio programmer is also lacking in the bootloader, since I suspect the same or similar SPI functions are used. M25PXX support will need to be added to the bootloader before sketches can be successfully downloaded to this Papilio board.
Should I push the modified progalgspi.cpp to the repository?
I just went through my emails and found some correspondence dated August 13, 2010, related to the purchase of this board this order from gadgetfactory. I forwarded the email to the support@gadgetfactory.net email address from whence the original email was received. Let me know if that's not a good email address.
The order number was 72.
While I understand that you don't want to help counterfeiters, it doesn't appear that this is a counterfeit board (based upon email correspondence and my memory). I think it's a good idea to have support for as many SPI flash devices as reasonably possible. The added space is minimal to support the additional family. I do know that this is a popular SPI flash family, as I've used them in several designs.
Ahhh, ok, that is pretty old! I don't mind adding the support for that chip to the Papilio Loader. But I would like to get you setup with a newer board, if that was order 72 then its most likely a board I built by hand... Let me send you a new board and you can keep that old one if you would like. If you send us an email to support@gadgetfactory.net with a link to this forum thread and an up to date shipping address we will get you a new board in the mail.
In the meantime I'm firing up linux to make you a executable with the changes you are requesting.
It's late and I'm too tired to look closer at it right now, will have to look more tomorrow.
I *believe* I now have an executable that will program the bootloader bit file into the memory, and that I've been able to successfully do this. What I haven't been able to find are the source files that make up the bootloader, as it appears that the code the writes the sketch into the SPI flash doesn't support M25PXX parts. Either that or something else is not quite right.
However, it has support for the M25PXX parts, so if this is what's in the bootloader, then the 'Unknown flash type, exiting' error when attempting to program a sketch is puzzling.
Can you point me to the source files that make up the actual bootloader?
The code snippet I provided had a syntax errors - nested if-elses usually get me. I'll email you the corrected file that allows the programmer to build correctly. I tried to push the file to the repo, but it wasn't being allowed. This is my first time working with git, so I probably overlooked something obvious.
Agreed on resuming tomorrow. I have to call it a night also. Thanks for your help and feedback. I'll send you a message per your request.
Here is a compiled version of the papilio-prog.exe with the changes you requested.
Can you run the programmer by hand with extra "-v -v" argument ? Might be a know timing issue with S3E boards.
I was able to successfully rebuild papilio-prog.exe for Windows yesterday and used it to program the bootloader from the ZAP IDE. In the log window I could see a message indicating that the verification was successful, which indicates that the M25P40 SPI flash can be successfully programmed. I only tried it once, but could try to program it multiple times tonight and see if it programs consistently. In that case, the SPI programming would be validated.
If this is the file that's included in the XC3S bootloader, then it has the needed support and it's puzzling why it doesn't work.
Alvie - I seem to remember have a similar experience getting the correct ID with the SPI flash when porting ZPU to the Nexsys 2 board.
I'll put my Bus Pirate analyzer on the SPI lines tonight and see of the correct ID is being returned.
Getting this to work isn't critical, as this particular Papilio One can simply be retired or replaced. Instead, now it's bugging me why it isn't working. If you can just point me to the relevant files and any needed general instructions, I'll do the rebuilding of the bootloader and testing on my end and report the results here.
You are better off using xc3sprog application, papilio-prog is a fork of that application.

Urban coyotes
April 15, 2014 February 3, 2015 7 minute readby Deborah Secular
Coyotes live in the Bronx? Yes.
Near the Bronx/Westchester border. (Photo: GothamCoyote.com)
"Since the nineteenth century, coyotes have expanded their range north, south, east, and west. Traditionally a species of the open plains, coyotes have come to occupy rural, forested, and urban landscapes. A breeding population on suburban Long Island is all but inevitable, leaving just the question of when. With healthy populations in the northern and western suburbs, New York City lies at the front of the Eastern coyote's range."
This remarkable description of our newest four-footed neighbors comes from an evocative blog post by Dr. Mark Weckel, naturalist at the Gotham Coyote Project and researcher at the American Museum of Natural History.
We contacted the experts at the Gotham Coyote Project for more details, and learned the following:
"We don't have any evidence that they're permanently residing anywhere other than the North Bronx," said Dr. Chris Nagy, colleague of Weckel's at the project.
Let's back up a second. Coyotes may now live year round in the Bronx? (Not that a coyote would know where Westchester ends and the Bronx begins.)
Originally a Midwestern species, the coyote first arrived in the Northeast in the early years of the twentieth century. It was first sighted in New York State in the 1920s, according to Weckel, an ecologist who studies coyote migration. And sightings have become more common in the northern reaches of New York City, where the Bronx borders Westchester. "By the late 1990s, [coyotes] had come to colonize all of New York State, except for Long Island," Weckel told us.

The Gotham Coyote Project uses remote camera traps to track the local coyote population, and some of their images can be seen on their site. The cameras have helped prove the presence of coyotes, but they are of limited help when it comes to measuring the size of the population, because coyotes are hard to tell apart. Tigers, by comparison, have unique stripe patterns that allow scientists to identify them based on photographs. "With coyotes," Nagy told us, "you can't tell the difference reliably."
But there are other methods to track who is who in the native coyote scene: Nagy plans to use scat surveys. "You can get DNA from the poop, and you can identify individual animals," he said. Nagy also casts doubt on claims that urban coyotes have a genetic difference from rural populations. "Certainly there's evidence that they kind of have different life history patterns," he said, but noted that it was inaccurate to divide coyotes into "the urban guys and the rural guys. "In New York," he said, "it's a very very gradual transition," from urban to natural habitats. And, he added, "There's intermixing along that gradient."
"Usually when you're trying to manage wildlife, it's really more about managing people and getting the community behind you," said Nagy. "People are really where the work is located." So making people comfortable is the best step to smoothing human/coyote cohabitation.
Nagy acknowledged that the risk posed by coyotes is "not zero," but said that with a few precautions, it is minimal. "Compared to dogs, it's nothing; compared to vehicles, it's nothing; compared to pollution, it's nothing," he said. Still, researchers agree that studying coyotes has value beyond quantifiable results. Weckel, who has worked to include high school students and interested citizens from the project's outset, said it helps with "blurring the line" between nature and city.

From the coyote packs that may have taken up a steady presence in city parks in the north Bronx (Gotham Coyote Project doesn't reveal the locations of their research sites, for fear of disturbing the animals), and beyond city lines in Westchester, an occasional migrant comes far south into the metropolis. Several coyotes have traveled down into Manhattan. There was a famous visit to Central Park in 1999, followed by 2006, and then a series of visits in 2010. These wild adventures ended in capture and the carrier case, but with plenty of camera attention and public fascination beforehand.
Coyotes' adaptability is evident in their very presence around us in the Northeast. After humans wiped out previous top predators in the region, like the Eastern wolf and the cougar, coyotes came in to fill the unoccupied niche. As Mark Weckel puts it, "the coyote is a parable for how Americans have historically interacted with nature…it's a conservation success story, but there was no conservation plan." With the kind of drive that suits life in the big city, coyotes are bringing the wilderness to us.
Weckel and Nagy were featured on PBS in January, in a Nature episode about urban coyotes — with the buzz-friendly name 'coywolf,' as the Eastern coyote does have a bit of wolf mixed in. Excerpts below:
Researchers are continuing to investigate whether the coyote's adaptability – so evident in its presence in farflung habitats – has shown itself on the genetic level.
Javier Monzón, a postdoctoral fellow at Stony Brook University, led the first study that showed how the Eastern coyote is genetically distinct from its Western ancestors. Drawing on previous research that had identified sequence differences between dogs and wolves, and between dogs and coyotes, Monzón investigated the hypothesis that Eastern coyotes had hybridized with wolves since their arrival.
After finding significant similarities between wolf and coyote mitochondrial DNA, which is only passed from a mother to her offspring, Monzón concluded that male wolves had been mating with female coyotes, but not the other way around. He also found that coyote samples from farther East had more genetic similarities with wolves than their Western counterparts.
Now, Monzón is looking to further his knowledge on the genetic impact of coyotes' changed surroundings. According to his research, it seems coyote evolution has proceeded rapidly, with variation introduced by wolf hybridization as its "main driver."
Differing with Nagy, Monzón believes there are measurable genetic differences among coyotes within the Northeast, depending on their habitats. "Urban coyotes are genetically different from forest coyotes," he said, adding that "forest and urban are different from rural coyotes," as well.
In his study, he sampled 427 coyotes, from agricultural, forested and suburban/urban testing sites. To account for coyotes' range, he allowed a radius of approximately nine kilometers from the sampling site. He found genetic differences in one urban group of coyotes, which included samples from suburban/urban sites near Cape Cod, Boston, Albany, and Portland, Maine.
How fully 'urbanized' could Eastern coyotes get? Daniel Bogan, an animal behaviorist at Siena College, who studies coyotes in Westchester (and leads workshops on how to coexist), isn't ready to draw conclusions. While he said coyotes might adapt their behaviors within their lifetimes, "I don't think that there are major evolutionary changes occurring just yet in their interactions with people."
"In a large scale, if you're thinking about all of New York State, they've been moving from more natural areas to more urban and rural landscapes," he said, acknowledging that "because the natural areas are chopped into small pieces, they end up having to using multiple remnants," forcing coyotes to travel through developed areas.
But, according to Bogan, coyotes rarely linger near development, and have not adapted to a trash-intensive diet as they move closer to cities.
Still, he said, "It's just amazing to me how capable this animal is of just existing in so many different landscapes." While he was not ready to draw conclusions, he tentatively pegged coyote's success to factors like their reproduction, which occurs rapidly, begins early in their life cycles, and yields many offspring.
Coyotes have long figured in North American mythology; like Prometheus, in Native American cultures Coyote stole fire and gave it to man. Mark Weckel notes the coyote's symbolism to a city undergoing its own rapid evolution in the face of change:
"At a time when urban conservation is red hot and we talk about farming rooftops, greening our streets, or restoring wetlands, all with an eye to a more sustainable, resilient, 'natural' city, the coyote should be our mascot, our flagship species."

How Jimi Hendrix's 'Are You Experienced' Revolutionized Rock Guitar
Bryan Rolli Published: May 12, 2022
The history of rock guitar — and rock music in general — can be split into two periods: before Jimi Hendrix's debut album and after.
It's difficult to overstate the impact of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's earth-shattering Are You Experienced. On a micro level, it plucked the musician born James Marshall Hendrix out of chitlin' circuit obscurity and launched him onto the biggest stages around the world, turning him into a countercultural icon and archetypal guitar hero. On a macro level, it helped the LP supersede the single as the definitive medium through which rock artists could stake their claim for greatness, and it blended blues, acid rock, psychedelia and R&B in previously unthinkable ways. Not bad for a first try.
Although the Jimi Hendrix Experience burst onto the scene as a fully formed creative entity, the genesis of the band and its debut album were spontaneous and scattershot. In summer 1966, Hendrix caught the eye of the Animals bassist Chas Chandler, who was moving into more management and production as the band splintered. Chandler was captivated by Hendrix's set at Cafe Wha? in New York's Greenwich Village and flew him to London to perform and record in September of that year. By early October, he had linked up with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell, and the newly minted Jimi Hendrix Experience scored their first gigs opening for French pop star Johnny Hallyday in his native country in mid-October.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience first entered the studio on Oct. 23 to record their version of "Hey Joe," a bluesy murder ballad written and copyrighted by Billy Roberts in 1962. Problems quickly arose when the feedback from the band's distorted Marshall amps hindered the recording, and Hendrix struggled to capture an adequate lead vocal. "'Hey Joe' is a very difficult song to do right and it took forever," Redding wrote in his autobiography, Are You Experienced. "The Marshalls were too much for the mikes, and Chas and Jimi rowed over recording volume. That 'loud,' full, live sound was nearly impossible to obtain (especially for the bass) without the distortion, which funnily enough became part of our sound."

To make matters worse, Chandler had blown his budget on the laborious "Hey Joe" sessions, which meant the band would have to write an original song if they had any hope of recording a B-side. Within a day, Hendrix concocted the driving "Stone Free," quickly teaching it to his bandmates and banging it out in the studio. More originals soon followed, including the raga rock-influenced "Love or Confusion"; the languid "The Wind Cries Mary," inspired by a fight Hendrix had with his girlfriend, Kathy Etchingham; and the acid-rock stomper "Purple Haze," whose scorching guitar solo features the first-ever use of the Octavia effects pedal, which produces a note one octave higher than the one played. Rather than rehearse religiously before hitting the studio, Hendrix taught his new songs to Mitchell and Redding on the spot, and they knocked them out in a handful of takes.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience released "Hey Joe" as their debut single in December 1966. It quickly rose to No. 6 on the U.K. chart, prompting demand for a speedy follow-up, which came in the form of "Purple Haze," released in March 1967. The song shot to No. 3 in the U.K. and earned a rave prerelease review from Paul McCartney, who listened to it for the Melody Maker's "Blind Date" feature and enthused, "Fingers Hendrix. An absolute ace on the guitar. This is yet another incredible record from the great Twinkle Teeth Hendrix!" (McCartney would do Hendrix another solid when he recommended the Experience to play the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, where they delivered a star-making performance and Hendrix lit his guitar on fire in one of the most iconic scenes in rock history.)

With two Top 10 hits under their belt — and a third, "The Wind Cries Mary," burning up the charts and heading toward a No. 6 peak — the Jimi Hendrix Experience were primed for stardom by the time they released Are You Experienced in the U.K. on May 12, 1967. The album dutifully scaled the charts and peaked at No. 2, exposing listeners to previously unheard levels of distortion and making other guitar virtuosos — such as the mighty Eric Clapton — want to weep with feelings of inadequacy.
Are You Experienced sported a different track listing when it hit U.S. shelves in August 1967, with Reprise Records ditching the smoldering blues jam "Red House," the electrifying "Can You See Me" and the springy, Cream-like "Remember" in favor of the proven hit singles "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze" and "The Wind Cries Mary." (Thankfully, since 1997, CD reissues of Are You Experienced have compiled all 17 tracks onto one disc, so listeners no longer have to play favorites.) It also featured a new album cover, the psychedelic, fisheye lens portrait with which the LP is most commonly associated, as Hendrix thought the original cover "made him look like a fairy," according to the U.S. cover photographer Karl Ferris.

Although all of the Are You Experienced singles flatlined in the U.S., the album became a sensation on underground FM radio, ultimately rising to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and selling 5 million copies. But its impact can't be measured in numbers alone. With its genre-bending opuses and volcanic six-string freak-outs, Are You Experienced shifted the paradigm for hard-rock guitar playing and showmanship. Any guitarist who has ever cranked the gain knob on their amp and wrung a power chord from their axe owes a debt to Hendrix. In 2005, the Library of Congress added Are You Experienced to its National Recording Registry, reserved for recordings deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States."
The Jimi Hendrix Experience would release two more landmark albums, 1967's Axis: Bold as Love and 1968's Electric Ladyland, before Hendrix's death on Sept. 18, 1970, at the age of 27. Both albums found the guitarist expanding his sonic palette, but his debut remains the most blistering, concise demonstration of his virtuosity and pop smarts. "Are You Experienced was one of the most direct records we've done," Hendrix told Hit Parader in 1969. "What it was saying was, 'Let us through the wall, man, we want you to dig it.'"
