¡ Congratulation to Marianne Schäfer & André Schäfer !
The 33rd DOK.fest Munich celebrates the cinema experience. See nine strong films from the festival programme on five evenings in the auditorium of Deutsches Theater. Only premieres will be presented for this extraordinary occasion. After the screening, the stage will be handed over to the directors and their team so they can present their film in person. The public, international guests and industry representatives will have the possibility to connect with each other at reception events and to round off the evening's viewing in the Deutsches Theater's courtyard.
From the late 1970s, under the direction of Sigi Daiber, the MAXIM, one of Munich's oldest cinemas, became a stronghold of alternative film culture and played a part in the beginnings of DOK.fest Munich. When the end of the venue seemed to be inevitable, four cinema enthusiasts reinvented the MAXIM.
The Munich based director & producer Peter Heller tells about it: CINEMA FOR LIFE [MAXIM LEBEN – EIN ALTES KINO ERZÄHLT] More information and pics of the new venue NEUES MAXIM are just one click away.
In her films Helga Reidemeister contrasts the inflation of what is factual with the reality of experience: her precise and unerring view of the apparently insignificant reveals the crux of human relationships. The 2018 retrospective presents a cross-section through four decades of her filmic achievements.

The DOK.forum sees itself as a think tank for the documentary film industry and marketplace for innovative projects. This year again we invite you to develop visions and impulses with a diverse programme of panels, workshops and case studies. Urgent media policy issues are discussed as well as technical trends and new formats. During the recent years, the DOK.forum has established itself as a meeting place for the German-speaking industry.
This year, the DOK.forum will focus on the future of a highly competitive format – the cinema documentary. We bring together decision-makers and filmmakers in Munich to draw up concrete proposals for action.
The DOK.forum programme 2018 for download.
The DOK.forum Marketplace invites the most exciting concepts for documentary film, composition, series, webdoc, VR and interactive media to Munich. At moderated roundtables filmmakers discuss their projects in development with commissioning editors, producers and distributors – in the competition for prestigious awards and fundings. The events focuse on the German-speaking co-production area with special offers for international delegations.
The Marketplace Masters Pitch - the only public format of the Marketplace - offers interested guests the opportunity to get an insight into exciting project ideas and the development process of documentary films. Four filmmakers from Latin America are invited as this year's guest delegation.
Five teams of directors and composers pitch for the German Composition Funding Prize. The aim is to strengthen cooperation between directors and composers.
In moderated roundtable sessions, 25 teams present and discuss their projects with commissioning editors, producers, distributors, sales agents and funders at eye level.
Three rough cuts and two finished films from this year's festival programme are presented to distributors and sales agents.
Nine students of our partner film schools get the special opportunity to present their projects to important decision-makers in a protected environment.
Playground Documentary is a brand new format at DOK.forum, carefully developed for our international industry guests.

It aims at sharing expert's insights and giving space for an active audience to create visions for documentaries. The sessions will be held in English. Admission is free, please register here.
After three intensive days, the DOK.forum Marketplace ended on Saturday, May 5th with 150 international guests, strong stories and newly formed partnerships. In addition to roundtables and open pitches, we were also able to offer curated one-to-one meetings for the first time this year. In partnership with Documentary Campus, the international Masters Pitch focused on German and Latin American projects and presented groundbreaking keynotes on the topic "Is TV now VoD?". We would like to thank the participants for their inspiring projects and passionate pitches, the experts for their valuable and concrete feedback and of course our partners who made the ideas and co-production market possible.
Doc Circuit Montréal, RIDM's documentary forum, will grant for the first time full festival and industry accreditations to the filmmakers Teresa Camou Guerrero for the film project CRUZ as well as to director Eva Weber and producer Sonja Henrici for IN DER STILLE DER NACHT.

iPhone Dominates AT&T Q1 2012
By Chris Davies/Updated: April 24, 2012 7:51 am EST
AT&T sold 5.5m smartphones at the start of the year and saw data revenues surge almost a fifth year-on-year, the carrier revealed in its Q1 2012 financial results today, with revenues and income both up. The company saw $31.8 billion in consolidated revenues, up $575 million from last year, and with wireless revenues up 5.4-percent year-on-year to $16.1bn; wireless data revenues contributed $6.1bn of that, climbing a full billion from Q1 2011. Meanwhile 4.3m iPhones were activated in the quarter.
That suggests that the iPhone continues to dominate AT&T's smartphones overall, though since AT&T only quotes iPhone "activations" (i.e. including hand-me-down devices) and smartphone "sales" it's hard to know for certain. The carrier activated 5.5m smartphones in total, a growth year-on-year but leaving Android still trailing significantly behind Apple's device. Overall, smartphones accounted for over 78-percent of AT&T's postpaid device sales, and almost 60-percent of the carrier's total postpaid subscribers use such a device.
Good news for AT&T's bottom line, then, as smartphone subscribers have an ARPU (average revenue per user) 90-percent higher than their featurephone brethren. Postpaid APRU grew 1.7-percent for the quarter, and data use is strong, with more than 70-percent of smartphone customers opting for AT&T's bigger bundle packages.
Meanwhile data-enabled devices – including tablets, tethering plans, aircards, mobile hotspots and other data-only devices – grew in subscriptions by 70-percent year-on-year. Around 30-percent of AT&T subscribers have 4G-capable devices.

Josephus, also known as Flavius Josephus (abt. AD 37 - abt. AD 100) was a 1st century Jewish historian of priestly family who survived the Destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and settled in Rome. He was originally known as Yosef Ben-Matityahu (Matthias in Greek).
Josephus wrote an account of the war addressed to the Jewish community in Mesopotamia in Aramaic which is now dead. He then wrote a history in Greek covering a broader period - from the Maccabees to the fall of Jerusalem. This book, the Jewish War, appeared by 79. The majority of the book is based on the events of his own life, including those of his own administrative experience.
Jewish Antiquities, (written c. 99) composed again for Greek readers, is a history of the Jews from the Creation to the outbreak of the war in the late 60s. At the end of the Antiquities is an autobiographical section in defense of Josephus's own conduct at the end of the war when he cooperated with the Roman forces of Vespasian.
Josephus's Against Apion is a defense of Judaism against classical religion and philosophy stressing the antiquity of Judaism and its scriptures against what Josephus pointed out was the relatively more recent traditions of the Greeks. Some anti-Seminic allegations by Apion are addressed there as well.
Jews have mixed feelings regarding Josephus. He was unquestionably an important apologist for the Jewish religion, particularly at a time of major upheaval, while his history of the Jewish Revolt, though sometimes questionable or self-serving, is an important source of information for the events at that time. Nevertheless, his personal conduct during the war is a point of contention because he abandoned his position as a rebel leader and joined the Roman camp. Later in life he returned to his Jewish roots.

The Midcoast Conservancy will use the U.S. Forest Service money to buy the land it now leases for the Hidden Valley Nature Center.
The Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson operates on private land its parent organization leases from the land's owner, but that's about to change.
The Midcoast Conservancy recently was awarded a $400,000 grant it will use toward the purchase of the center's 1,000 acres in Jefferson. A spokeswoman for the organization didn't respond to a request for comment.
The grant was awarded by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program, which provides grants to local governments, tribes and qualified nonprofit organizations to establish community forests that will provide economic and environmental benefits as well as education, stewardship and recreation opportunities.
"We are thrilled that the U.S. Forest Service appreciates what a special place we have in the Nature Center," the Midcoast Conservancy board chairwoman, Susan Russell, said in a news release.
U.S. Forest Service Deputy Chief of State and Private Forestry Vicki Christiansen said the proposals they received grew directly from the communities that presented them.
"They will become important economic, recreational, and educational cornerstones of their communities," she said.
According to terms of the grant, all projects selected must guarantee public access and community members must be involved in developing a forest plan to determine the long-term goals for the forests. Midcoast Conservancy received support from U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King, U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, the American Forest Foundation, the town of Jefferson, Whitefield Elementary School, Juniper Hill School and the Central Lincoln County YMCA.
Hidden Valley Nature Center and the Midcoast Conservancy joined forces last year. Executive Director Jody Jones said this grant is further proof of that the merger has been a success.
Currently, the conservancy leases the land for the nature center from private owners. It functions as a community forest for more than 10 nearby towns by employing and demonstrating Forest Stewardship Council-certified sustainable forestry practices. It shares ways to use forest products to support livelihoods, providing employment through forestry, recreation, and place-based educational programming, engaging area schools and nonprofits in experiential learning at the Nature Center, offering community-driven programming to build recreational skills and place-based knowledge, and providing accessible recreational opportunities.
The release states that the receipt of the grant money is a significant step for the conservancy toward ensuring public access for future generations.

NAB 2010 Report: Dedolight and Matthews Studio Equipment
I'm just back from the NAB show in Las Vegas (that's the National Association of Broadcasters, an organization that goes back to 1922 when radio was the only broadcast medium). It's a huge show, covering every aspect of television and radio and there's always a lot to see and learn. Russ Carswell, our sales director, was with me and we were part of the Dedolight team from Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
Dedolight is a big, important, and growing part of our business. As a lot of you know (and if you don't, just browse the Dedolight category on our site), it is a truly unique system of continuous 'hot' light that is used by thousands of photographers, video shooters and filmmakers all over the world. These days, with cameras shrinking in size (and sometimes price tags), it's more important than ever that lighting be extremely portable with finely controlled output that adapts to every possible shooting situation.
This year, we helped Dedolight introduce some new accessories for their LEDZilla on-board LED light, designed for small video cameras, as well as the new HMI 1200-watt head. We first showed LEDZilla (technically the DLOBML) at NAB last year; the response was tremendous and the demand has never slowed down. LEDZilla carries on the tradition of Dedolight design, innovation, and engineering, and is made with the quality that has always gone into every Dedolight.
Among the new items will be a miniature soft box, a 'Chinese lantern' head, and what looks like a miniature 'light saber,' all of which will use the same bayonet mount as the current LEDZilla optics. Dedolight believes LEDZilla is a great new "platform" and is expanding the system to support more and more usage scenarios. The new accessories will be available this summer.
Getting back to the topic of camera gear getting smaller every year — I want to share some of what I saw at the Matthews Studio Equipment booth. Matthews is a U.S. company whose products are in (it seems) every studio and on every location shoot in the world. If you don't know them, you should. What I saw that got me really excited is their new line of MICROgrip equipment. It's a series of components designed for table-top shooting and the mounting of small gear in just about any set-up and configuration. Imagine a grip head that fits in the palm of your hand, made with the same precision as its big brother. Like most photographers, I'm always looking for products that, on location or in the studio, will let me put my lighting and still life subjects exactly where I want them. For the same reasons that Dedolight is so great because the lights don't get in the way of what I'm shooting, small grip gear makes life a whole lot easier for table-top shoots.
Look for further impressions from NAB 2010 on my blog over the next few days!

All it takes is one small pebble, a slight dip in the ground, a slick patch of ice. A little misstep and you've snapped an ankle, twisted a ligament, sprained a muscle.

All it takes is one small pebble, a slight dip in the ground, a slick patch of ice. A little misstep and you've snapped an ankle, twisted a ligament, sprained a muscle. Ariat Men's 10002460 Hermosa XR Redwood EH Steel Toe Lacer Boots are a little bit taller than ankle-high, which means you'll get a little bit of extra protection. It must just be the difference between standing on your own two feet...and falling flat on your back.
These tall, dark red boots are constructed of premium full-grain leather. High-quality full-grain is all-natural, easy to clean, and hard to wear out. The leather in the uppers of the slip-resistant boots is also incredibly flexible, so it moves naturally with your steps. Padded collars create a soft, comfortable fit for you. The extra durable hardware finishes off the durable design, too.
The X-static thermodynamic lining has anti-static properties to resist static energy and heat-creating friction. The safety toe boots also have fringed kilties extend over the toe areas, adding a touch of handsome detail. Ariat's Cobalt XR technology reduces stress on your body by using the right combination of cushioning, stability, and flex.
The tough outsoles are attached to the rugged leather with strong stitching. This creates a durable, flexible bond for you. The rugged soles on these men's boots are designed with 90-degree heels to provide added lift and ladder-climbing support. Molded external heel protectors guard against wearing and abrasions as well.
The sturdy soles are also oil-resistant, which prevents damage from corrosive chemicals. Slip-resistance helps you find grip even on slick surfaces when you're wearing these steel toe boots. Rated for electrical hazard resistance, Ariat Men's 10002460 Hermosa XR Redwood Steel Toe Lacer EH Boots absorb up to 600 volts of dangerous electricity. The steel toes meet all ASTM F2413-05 requirements for impact- and compression-resistance. All it takes to correct missteps is one great pair of Ariat boots.
Ariat is a very durable and reliable brand. They fit me well and keep my feet comfortable and protected all day long. Best work boot out there!
Boots look good on my husband and he likes the way they fit. True fit. He would buy them again he likes them that much. His ratio on the booths is a 10. We also got them for fifty dollars less then other companies who offer same boots.
Thank you... I am very pleased with your store and I plan on shopping here more.
Ariat 10002460 Men's Steel Toe Redwood Hermosa Work Boots is being added to your cart.


THE two-month-old baby who was taken to the Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona on Friday 4, after being allegedly mistreated by his father, has died today at 2:15pm.
The baby boy was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a bruise on his head, a fractured arm and also give broken ribs.
Despite being in a 'stable' condition for days, the baby has since passed away, according to medical officials.
The two-month-old baby had been treated beforehand at the Hospital de Calella.
The Síndic de Greuges de Cataluña, Rafael Ribó, claimed last week that there was a lack of information, communication and coordination between the social and health services that were implicated in the baby's case.
Rafael Ribó had demanded new rules to protect babies from this kind of abuse.
The Pineda del Mar town hall and the Department of Labor, Social Affairs and Families of the Generalitat have reportedly agreed to appear in an upcoming court case for the child.
An investigation has been opened by the Directorate General for Health Planning and Regulation of the Department of Health to investigate any previous assistance that the baby made of received in different medical centers in the past, including the Hospital de Calella.
According to the Spanish press, additional information surrounding the case is being gathered but has yet to be released.

Features > Save System
what was I gonna say yeah so on friday hopefully, maybe, one of our developers dylan is gonna be streaming a little bit of development and talk a lot about what he's doing he's been working on this new save system format ooh which had like no effect on anyone playing the game but it might be interesting it might be interesting and it has a big it has had a big impact on us for us going forward working on the level, so it's a it's a pretty big significant improvement for us at least so the only way for us really to highlight that is to have dylan talk a little bit better would that, would that affect like the auto saves at all, so I don't think it will I when I air quotes I don't think it will but dylan did look at like that part of it and like maybe I can improve it a little bit so he's I don't know I don't want to promise anything because I don't know if this was like if I misunderstood him but it sounded like it might be a little bit better like no huge improvement but he did notice that he had like this test say that it was running, and he said that like it would save in like whatever time it was and he got a little bit of improvement and he and that was a fairly big save, so he said that yeah maybe a little bit better but I don't want to make any promises because I've only tested like a few save files, and you know it's very like when it comes to optimization and like you know generally how the game run and all the like complications that people run into like the way people can build makes it so that there are so many like constellations and combinations of things that we haven't like yet noticed or like thought about so, like when we've been testing we've found like oh in this use case there's an issue and that's a fairly easy simple fix and there's just a bunch of those types of use cases so when we've been testing saving and we noticed like oh it's a little bit better like that doesn't necessarily mean that it's better overall because we've had in the past where like we've done tests and it looked like ah there's no significant improvement and then when people in community play it and we're like wait there's a significant improvement in community, at least how people are reporting it so it's kind of hard for us to know sometimes so it might be that but fingers crossed maybe but anyway at any rate he'll be able to talk a bit more about exactly what it means and he's a cool guy so you get to like meet him and hang out with him yeah he's all right, so that's coming friday hopefully we'll we'll post on our socials and whatnot when when when things will happen hopefully we can do more of this in the future, have more we we did in the past we had a few dev streams where people would, stream while working yeah we're trying to get like more devs, involved now yeah, and like trying to get them like scheduled in as well and that doesn't take too much away from the game because like for example anna we made a video I don't know if you guys have seen it check out youtube, I made it I made a video with anna our 3d artist and she showed off some stuff, and you know that's a just a few hours of her time and we're not going to have her on for I don't know like a month or two or three because there are other people to highlight right so it's only like three four hours of one person's time, taken away so like those things you get to meet people you get to see, their work flow you get to see some of the just the in-game behind the scenes stuff and it doesn't really take away you get to meet them and then it doesn't really take away from the, dev, time at all yeah I posted a link, of that video in chat if you're into like because this is like the first time we've ever showcased any 3d artist I believe yeah yeah so I think it's a pretty big deal, so if you're interested in like the 3d, like artist aspect of of creating our game I highly recommend it because she goes really deep into like maya and how she sculpts and, models the assets which is a real like significant like I don't think people understand how how much time it takes to create those assets, yeah and you'll learn a bit more she showcases a little bit of shaders, some textures the different tools that she uses it's it's really nice and she's cool I say that about everyone that's on but like it's because I only picked the cool people the rest of my garbage I'm kidding it's a joke it's a joke camera ah cut to commercial [ __ ], hashtag cancel js yeah technical difficulties, so yeah if yeah highly recommend checking that out if you're into 3d art and want to know more but we're we're also using blender now so it's it's like tiny bit outdated I guess or, well all our 3d areas blender now I mean I mean it's kind of outdated because she used older files right yeah like she did the manufacturer before we switched I mean the work process is still the same and like it's still showcasing three I like how yeah yeah how it works like she wasn't showcasing software necessarily apart from subs and painter yeah anyway it's cool check out the video it's it's really really cool


HEY HELLO and HAPPY MOO YEAR to everyone in the HeiferHood!
I know many of you are long time readers - but hoof-loads of you are brand new, too (so hey, howdy doo, and how YOU doin'?) ... therefore.... in case you're new to the hood, here's a little pic of me - before (and before, and before) and now.
When I meet new friends for the first time and the subject of weight loss or weight loss maintenance comes up - my ears always perk up. Why? Because I get it.
I was pushing 300 pounds and could barely make it off my couch for the next round of Mountain Dew and cookies. The only weights I lifted were double-stuff Oreos by the caseful. It wasn't a great way to live. Not at all.
One day I decided to make a change - it's like a switch in my brain was flipped on - and I decided it was time to lose the weight. I subscribed to a popular weight-loss program after losing 40 pounds on my own and stalling out with any more weight loss.
I lost another 70ish pounds, and that was about 6 years ago - and I haven't looked back.
There's a common fallacy that losing weight is hard (which it IS!) ... but maintaining that loss should be easy, simple, no - hassle.
NOT. WRONG. NOPE. NEIN. NO WAY JOSE.
Enter.... one of the best weight management tools I've ever laid my little heifer hoofs on.
What's this little magical Lovidia you speak of, head heifer?
Lovidia Puts You in Control - Eat Less Without Feeling Hungry! Lovidia is a patented formula that uses Gut Sensory Modulation™ (GSM) to reduce hunger. In the simplest terms, Lovidia helps you feel satisfied with fewer calories, making you feel as though you've eaten more than you have. This allows you to reduce the amount of food you eat without feeling hungry. And when you can cut calories without feeling hungry, it's easier to lose weight.
The Lovidia Difference! Lovidia is not a drug, and it doesn't come with a long list of unpleasant and possibly dangerous side effects. It doesn't contain caffeine or other stimulants, fat blockers or diuretics. Lovidia's proprietary hunger-control formula contains only natural GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredients, so it does not cause jitters or other unpleasant side effects typically associated with weight-loss products. Lovidia is an easy-to-take pill that helps you control your hunger and lose weight naturally. Lovidia is not a "magic pill", i.e., a pill that allows you to eat whatever you want and as much as you want. There is no magic pill and there will never be a magic pill.
The ingredients in Lovidia have been clinically tested in multiple double-blind, placebo controlled studies and have been shown to be both safe and effective.
Take one Lovidia tablet with breakfast and one Lovidia tablet with lunch. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
Now. Why do I love it?
Because, crazy as it seems, THIS STUFF WORKS. I was skeptical. I was. I even told Marty, the prez of the company, that his little fancy skittle pills didn't interest me. :-) No really, I did. Then a year later, I agreed to try them. Imagine my shock when they actually worked.
(Disclaimer: I received this product to sample in an exchange for my honest review). And I LOOOOOVE it.
Of course, I wanted to see some SCIENCE behind this magic pill. Because really, there is NO MAGIC PILL. (And there's not, this stuff isn't magic - it's a TOOL). If you're looking for the "how does this work" aspect - have a look HERE.
Here's the breakdown, the heifer-dealio. It controls my hunger. Short and sweet. I take it when I'm supposed to, and I'm just not hungry. Plain and simple. Does it negate emotional eating? No. But it makes life a WHOLE heck of a lot easier because my mind is not focused on food all the time.
The little carrying case is well-loved, I keep it with me in my purse and it's always got my Lovidia inside. So yeah it's a little dirty. I do love the case though - very small and goes everywhere with me.
It takes the guesswork out of eating for me - I eat right, I eat proper portions, and in between when my MIND would normally tell my body it's hungry (which, really it's not - it's thirsty, etc)... I'm just not hungry. I don't THINK about food and therefore, I'm not eating mindlessly. Lovidia helps control my hunger and is the best tool in my weight maintenance toolbox!
If you're on the fence about trying Lovidia - feel free to use my discount code runheiferrun20 for a 20% discount. Good thru 1/31/18.

This time the turn was for Amorphis - Tuonela and for My Dying Bride - Like Gods of the Sun.


Got questions about becoming a coach?
Wondering what it takes to become a professional life coach?
Listen to a live class.
Check out the course overview.
Each week you are eager to learn and embrace more knowledge on Life Coaching. It is great information that is very useful as you build your Life Coaching Business!
The training was beneficial to me even in my personal life. It helped me to set goals and to examine different aspects of my own life. The best aspect of the training is the business component. By the time you complete the training your business will be fully operating. The training was priceless. Lisa was very down to earth but yet still professional and knowledgeable.
I really enjoyed the WCA Train to be a life coach live program. It was exciting to attend each week, the material is relevant, challenging, and totally prepares you to start your own Life Coaching Practice upon certification. Lisa is amazing, full of encouragement, enthusiasm, and supports all of her students to succeed in their life coaching practices.
This has been the most important career move of my life. I could not be more excited about receiving my certification from World Coach Academy!
Be ready to hit the ground running.
The training that I received at WCA was invaluable to my to my journey of becoming a successful life coach. The knowledge that I received not only prepared for the clients that I am and will be coaching, but it helped me to find out things about myself.
I loved the live lessons. And interacting on FB and knowing I always have support is amazing.
The training was excellent! I was not sure what to expect, but I didn't believe that I would be doing so many self-discovery exercises. I had no hesitations about registering, I really connected with the Director and we both felt this was the right choice. She is an excellent Business coach and Empowerment Coach. I felt I could learn a lot from her and I have!
OMG!!! I would say that this is probably THE most thorough training that ANYONE can receive and for the price that WCA offers this at is UNHEARD of! I know of plenty of people who have life coach certifications and paid 5 times the amount of what WCA charges and they didn't get half as much out of it as I did. I am so extremely grateful to you Lisa for the opportunity of a lifetime. I shall make you proud!
I now understand the true value of coaching and just how powerful it is in helping someone to reach their goals. All of the principles and techniques I've learnt on the course, I'm using on myself. I'm growing as a person, setting goals and working towards them. As the course is online I didn't think I'd have a lot of support. I was very wrong, Lisa is there to help and guide us every step of the way. Her energy and passion for coaching is infectious.
I had knowledge in health and wellness with dreams of becoming a health coach, and WCA taught me how to get clients, lead sessions, and manage the business aspect. I was completely lost in these areas before the training.
It works. Many programs provide you with similar information and steps to become successful, but WCA actually requires that you complete each of the steps in order to complete the course. WCA holds the student accountable for fulfilling their goal of becoming a certified life coach and owning a business.
People should know that this school is the real deal!! By the end of the program you will be a CERTIFIED LIFE COACH ready to go out and fulfill your purpose. The training really propels and prepares you. Watch out!!
It was not just training to get a certification, I have now set new goals and I am enthused to see them through next year. Their lessons are simple, precise and not at all complicated.
You get so much more value than what you are paying for, plus you get to be certified in your niche. I don't know of many programs that offer this.
Lisa is great and I will so miss hearing her voice every Tuesday!

Redirect TV output from iTunes?
Discussion in 'iMac' started by macstatic, Jan 18, 2012.
I've got my iMac (iMac 8.1) running MacOS 10.6.8 connected to a TV and would like to know if it's possible to redirect video output on an application basis? Basically something like re-routing audio with Soundflower, but with video instead.
For instance, I would like to watch a movie from iTunes on the TV while someone else in the family checks mail etc. on the Mac at the same time. Is there a solution for this?
I had no problem with this on a Windows PC almost 10 years ago. Its NVIDIA video card had an S-video connector which I connected to my TV, and whenever I watched any videoclip etc. on the PC it would simultaneously output that to the S-video connector. No fumbling around with settings or configurations.
Please tell me that this iMac (2008 model) and MacOSX Snow Leopard isn't so lame that I can't do that?
I know Apple would love for me to fork out some extra $$$ for an Apple TV, but seriously.....!
PS: I found another thread which explains how to make QuickTime Player show videos selected as "Full screen" to output automatically to an external screen (such as a TV). But since I have all my videos organized in iTunes it's not a very practical solution. It also doesn't solved the issue of playing Youtube, streaming etc. videos from a web browser on to the TV.
Well, sorry, but this is exactly the problem that Apple TV is designed to solve, and you know Apple won't solve anything with a cable that it's already solved without one.
I'm wondering if your previous solution was something specific in the nVidia software. Seems odd that it specifically output only video (regardless of the source). 10 years ago I had a Gateway Destination, and it just gave me the whole blipping computer screen on the TV.
The Apple video output cable isn't the issue, but software is.
Since Quicktime Player 7 and VLC can be configured to output full screen video to an external display it just shows that it can be done. That's why I was hoping for a "redirect" type application that could help those apps (iTunes among others) that don't have this option built in.

Toponymie
Villa Bosci.

La commune fut créée en 1793 sous le nom de Ville du Bois, l'article fut ajouté en 1801 dans le Bulletin des lois.

Histoire
À l'origine, simple hameau de Nozay, il dépendait de la châtellenie de Marcoussis jusqu'à la Révolution. Ce minuscule hameau s'étant constitué au carrefour de la forêt d'Aqualina (forêt d'Yveline) et de la forêt de Séquigny (forêt de Sainte Geneviève-des-Bois), se nommait Villa Bosci.
Il y a quelques années des outils en silex taillés, furent trouvés dans les champs, par les maraîchers. Puis dans les cartulaires du prieuré de Longpont, nous relevons le nom de Boscis Guildonis Adegavensus ; c'est-à-dire le Bois de Monsieur Guy d'Anjou. Il va croître à la croisée des grands chemins gaulois, allant de Villejust à Montlhéry et de Marcoussis à Ballainvilliers en passant par Nozay. Au bord de la grande voie reliant Lutèce à Orléans.

Ce n'est qu'au  dans un aveu de dénombrement destiné au roi Charles VI de France dit le Fou daté du , qu'apparaît le nom de La Ville-du-Bois, sous la forme suivante: " Fief tenu par Jean de La Neuville de Nozay et de La Ville du Bois". Le village s'appelle donc Nozay-La Ville du Bois, jusqu'à la Révolution.

Parmi les fiefs : celui de Beaulieu connu depuis le  appartenant à Léon II Balsac d'Illiers d'Entragues, qui le légua à son fils Alexandre d'Illiers de Balsac d'Entragues et que ce dernier cédera le , à Claude Erard, notaire royal, avocat au Parlement. Consistant en Maison et bâtiments, jardin et potager, planté d'arbres fruitiers, contenant 15 arpents et clos de murs. Dont l'avant-cour et la cour d'honneur étaient accessibles depuis la Grande Rue du village. Ce domaine était encore ceint de murs à la fin du . Il fut acheté par François Valentin, (1763-1822) général et baron d'Empire, directeur du haras de Langonnet (Morbihan). C'est lui qui transforma la propriété en 1816, faisant construire la grande maison bourgeoise. La propriété aura pour propriétaires successifs : M. Gille Bert Poyet, avocat,  Brassac et M. Lalain en 1896, qui fait démolir la maison, transformant les lieux en exploitation maraîchère. À sa mort en 1920, le domaine qui revint à sa fille madame de Luget fut vendu aux enchères sur licitation en 1923 et la ville en fit l'acquisition. Une partie fut lotie sur le pourtour de l'étang et le reste aménagé en place verte.

Les métiers de jadis
Au , les artisans et commerçants étaient nombreux. On comptait près d'une quarantaine de corps de métiers : menuisiers (rue des Cailleboudes), charrons (rue Gaillard), maréchaux-ferrants (Grande Rue), forgerons, maçons, charpentiers, bourreliers, matelassiers. Et les vanniers, assez nombreux, qui fabriquaient les paniers d'osier, servant au transport des fraises et autres légumes fragiles ; l'un d'eux se trouvait à la Grange-aux-Cercles. Il y avait aussi les marchands de bois (rue des Cailleboudes), les charbonniers, merciers, journaliers, bûcherons, scieurs de longs, et tous les métiers liés à la vente d'alimentation. Dont les débits de boissons : on dénombre plus d'une quinzaine de bistrots, sur la commune et alentour. On ajoute à cet inventaire un grainetier (Chavignier, dans la Grande Rue), et une boucherie-charcuterie (E. Damiot, également Grande Rue).

Aux artisans et commerçants s'ajoutent les petits métiers à domicile : gens de maison, commis, charretiers, bûcherons, gardes-forestiers, gardes champêtres, coursiers, facteurs, couturières, lingères, coiffeurs, barbiers, saisonniers.
Puis l'exploitation des carrières pour la fabrication des pavés.

Une carrière était située au Gros Chêne, une autre, la carrière Trimoulet était située à la Garenne. les pierres extraites servaient à la fabrication de pavés, taillés sur place. Cette activité occupait une vingtaine d'ouvriers. Les pavés étaient conduits par tombereaux à chevaux jusqu'à la gare de marchandises de La Petite Ville du Bois sur la ligne de l'Arpajonnais. Le second choix de cette marchandise a servi à paver les rues de la commune et celles alentour.

Groundnut is one of the important oilseed crops of India. Several biotic stresses affect in achieving the real potential yields. Cultivation of biotic stress resistant cultivars is an ecologically and economically sound approach. The occurrence of different biotic stresses varies with location and season thus limiting the wide adoption of varieties resistant to one or the other biotic stresses. This necessitates the importance of evolving multiple biotic stress resistant genotypes. In the present study, a set of 184 mini core genotypes along with 12checks were assessed for major foliar diseases late leaf spot and rust and a major defoliator, Spodoptera litura in hot spot location. In mini core, hypogaea botanical group had higher frequency of resistant genotypes to Spodoptera litura (31 %), late leaf spot (33 %) and rust (8 %) when compared to other botanical groups. Among the Spodoptera litura resistant genotypes, eight genotypes viz., ICG 862, ICG 928, ICG 76, ICG 2777, ICG 5016, ICG 12276, ICG 4412 and ICG 9905 had significantly higher pod yield per plant (> 23.2 g) compared to check JL 24 (18.1 g). Among the 184 genotypes of mini core, five genotypes viz., ICG 2381, ICG 11426, ICG 12625, ICG 12370 and ICG 875 were resistant to late leaf spot (field disease score < 4). ICG 2381 had resistance to late leaf spot, rust and Spodoptera litura but had low pod yield per plant and hence can serve as potential multiple stress resistant donor genotype in breeding programmes.

Joseph A. "Doc" Alexander (April 1, 1897 – September 12, 1975) was an American football player, who played center, tackle, guard, and end, and coach in the National Football League.
Alexander was born in Silver Creek, New York, the son of Russian immigrants, and was Jewish. He attended Syracuse University, and played for the school football team—twice being named All American at guard—as he attained a medical degree. He was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954, and also into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
Alexander played for the Syracuse Pros (1921), and played professionally in the National Football League (NFL) for the Rochester Jeffersons (1921–24) and the New York Giants (1925–27). He was a two-time First Team All-Pro, in both 1921 and 1922. In 1925 he was the head coach of the Jeffersons, and in 1926 he was the head coach of the Giants.

Emerald Lanes and Glass Packs
For those of us who "grew up" in the 80's, it was a time of heavy metal hair bands, leather pants, biker shorts under a miniskirt, big hair, rubber bracelets, and muscle cars. We walked on the wild side, came out of the cellar, and were too fast for love. Light to light racing may have been popular for as long as the street lights have existed, but for the teenagers with bandanas tied around the knees of their favorite jeans, street racing was as much a part of life in the 80's as dark sunglasses and mullets.
With an appetite for destruction, Axl Rose danced his way off the bus and welcomed us to the jungle, while critics looked at what the cat dragged in and hailed Poison as "the Sex Pistols meets Kiss on acid." Monster Rock was what we listened to and Muscle Cars were what we drove, and in most every city across the country there was a strip of pavement designated for the "Street Races," where every weekend we went to satisfy our need for speed.
The late 40's saw the Olds Rocket 88, the 50's sported the Chrysler C300, the 60's rocked with the introduction of the GTO, and while the 70's struggled with inflation and the downsizing of the former muscle car with the production of economical mid-sized cars such as the Ford Pinto, Chevy Vega, and the AMC Gremlin, it still managed to continue manufacturing cars such as the Monte Carlo SS 454, the Dodge Challenger, and the Plymouth Road Runner and Duster well into the mid 70's. Even though Ford recreated the Mustang in the 80's and the IROC-Z was as popular as band t-shirts, the young people known today as "Generation X" still loved their muscle cars, and on Friday and Saturday night—whether on Woodward Avenue in Detroit or Emerald Lane in Dallas—you were guaranteed to see and hear the command of souped-up Chevelles, Malibus, Camaros, El Caminos, and Chargers.
For her, it was a bright-colored belt around the waist, high heels, a polka-dot mid-drift tank top, blue eye shadow, and hairspray. For him, it was the thought of making her his girl, the sound of Mötley Crüe thumping through the 6×9's mounted in the front door, and the feel of the Grant steering wheel in his hands as he parked his cream-colored 1973 Mustang. For all of us, it was the weekend. The guys tuned carburetors, shined chrome, and waxed their cars. The girls crimped and straightened, applied red lipstick, and wore the tightest miniskirt possible. And even though most everyone was underage (the legal age to drink being 18), we always managed to have a case of Milwaukee's Best in an ice chest that fit perfectly behind the front seat. If we were lucky, someone would sneak a bottle of Old Weller from a liquor cabinet and we were ready to roll. The summer air was warm and the pavement reeked of rubber—the ultimate recipe for a good time…and an era.
The "street races" was a place to meet, talk, flirt, race, and show-off. The girls giggled their way down Emerald Lane looking for the hottest guy with the fastest car and the guys lined the side of the street sporting what was under their hood. And while hanging out was fun, the name of the game was cars, which made it impossible to miss the sound of the aluminum Edelbrock heads combined with the 2' True Dual exhaust and Glass Packs coming from the 1973 Mustang. Equipped with a 351 Cleveland, a high lift roller cam, and a Holly 750 double pumper, it was all muscle. Common in the 80's were the added air shocks, 50s, and Keystones that brought out the "bad" attitude that gloved the hand wrapped around the T-handle Hurst shifter in between the bucket seats.
Yes, the '73 Mustang was one of the hottest cars on the street that night, but for the competition to stay alive there had to be a rival.
Parked across the street was the 1949 Ford F100, with its purple coat of paint, chrome running boards, Slots, 60s all the way around, and dual exhaust pouring out the sound of a 327 Corvette engine and 4-barrel carburetor, it rocked—as did its Pioneer Super Tuner playing Cinderella's Shake Me.
Everyone came over to survey the ride, chat to the driver, and hang out in front where—before the night was over—there was sure to be a race between the Mustang and the '49 Ford.
As the night went on, the atmosphere loosened with each can of beer, every glance at the girls that graced the sidelines, and every race that left the starting line. The Vegas, Novas, and Nissan 280Zs burned a few quick races to warm things up; they weren't there to sport big tires and shiny rims; they were out for fun and knew the best was yet to come. But inevitably, before the big race took place, the cops would show up—their sirens barely recognizable over the music, the noise, and the sound of screeching tires. Within minutes, Emerald Lane was vacant—with the exceptions of a few stragglers who couldn't find their keys, their friends, or their cars!
The cops rarely took anyone to jail, or even wrote a ticket. They didn't confiscate our cars or bust us for under-aged drinking. Instead, they made Joe pour out the last of his beer, gave us a warning, and told us to go home.
However, it wasn't an hour later before Emerald Lane was alive again, but this time everyone was wound up. The cops had come, the night was still young, and we hadn't even witnessed the best our world of street racing had to offer.
After a quick glance at the driver of the '49, the driver of the Mustang started his engine and the crowd went from hanging out at the front to running to the end of the ¼ mile raceway to welcome the winner. (Along the way, someone felt sorry for Joe and gave him a beer.) The low rumbling sounds of the Mustang and the '49 could be heard for miles as the drivers revved their engines, burned rubber, and peeled off the starting line with the pedal to the floor. It was the race of the night but many more followed as each guy wanted to match the excitement felt when the Mustang and '49 faced off in the midnight air on a Friday night in 1986.
And, if you ask someone today what good those air shocks did, you might hear something along the lines of, "Nothing! They just made it ride rough and it totally sucked for whoever was in the backseat! But they sure looked good."
Yes, we had the looks that killed; we drove fast, we lived on the edge, and the cops let us off easy.
However, things have changed a lot over 20 years. The clothes have changed, the cars have changed, the music has changed, and the laws have changed. Now there are strict penalties for anyone caught engaging in any type of "speed contest."
According to "Alive at 25," vehicle crashes are the #1 cause of death for people between the ages of 16 and 24. Every year, more than 326,000 young drivers are seriously injured, nearly 6,000 teens are killed in vehicular accidents; more than 3,800 are drivers between the ages of 15 and 20, and more than half of the deaths occur between Friday and Saturday; 41% of those are between 9:00 pm and 6:00 am.
Alive at 25 research shows the leading cause of young driver accidents involves one or a combination of the following factors:
Lack of awareness of the consequences of risk-taking behavior
Lack of experience with complexities of driving
Peers in vehicle with the youthful driver
Driving as a social activity
Impaired driving due to road conditions
In our next issue, MotorSports News will take a closer look at the Alive at 25 Program, the current laws regarding speed contests, the Colorado Graduating Licensing laws, and "Take it to the Track," a program designed by the Colorado State Patrol, Bandimere Speedway, and Alive at 25 as an alternative to illegal street racing.
We will also explore the modifications done on today's "Custom Car." What are the limitations, the restrictions, and the penalties? And we will talk with some talented young drivers who have taken their passion for racing from the st

Funky Fresh | Cover Story | Style Weekly - Richmond, VA local news, arts, and events.
Tabol Brewing will open in North Side later this summer.
Richmond's next brewery will not only fit a different niche in the local market, one of its main ingredients will hail from local sources.
Tabol Brewing partners Nic Caudle and Travis Dise will focus on rustic beers — wild, funky, sour and tart — made in large part with various yeast and micro-biota harvested in Richmond. Rather than the shiny stainless-steel vessels that fill other area breweries, the production area at Tabol is stocked with wine and bourbon barrels for fermenting, conditioning and aging.
Caudle will harvest many of the micro-organisms used for brewing and buy some yeast and bacteria. He says he harvested his first batch of yeast as a homebrewer on a whim and liked the results.
"There's a whole gamut of flavors you can play with that aren't necessarily available commercially," he says.
The use of wild yeast isn't novel in Richmond. In 2013, Jason Ridlon and Malachy McKenna founded RVA Yeast Labs, using their scientific background to propagate local yeast strains from sources such as tree bark, fruit orchards and beehives, and made it available to professional and home brewers. Craft beverage producers have used RVA Yeast Lab products or other wild yeasts, including Three Notch'd RVA Collab House, Kindred Spirit Brewing, Ardent Brewing, Black Heath Meadery and Blue Bee Cider.
Some of Caudle's harvests will appear in Tabol beers, and there's more wild micro-biota in the works.
"I've got four or five test jars going of various things we've found just in this North Side area," he says. "We're hopeful on a couple of them."
Similarly, open-air coolships, like at the Veil, also utilize the wild yeast and bacteria perpetually floating in the air.
Sours and other wild, funky beers have certainly gained popularity recently, but not many Virginia breweries have made them the central focus.
Some of the brews will utilize aged hops, a common practice in Belgian styles like lambic beers since they minimize hop aroma and flavor while still providing a preservative effect.
Fresh local fruits like raspberries and blackberries from Agriberry Farm in Hanover County, which come with their own set of micro-biota, will make their way into some beers. The menu will be sour-heavy, but the owners don't intend to use the popular method of kettle souring, which is quick and results in bright, tart beers like gose and Berliner weisse.
"The wild stuff's just more fun," Dise says. "There's so much more variance. You just don't know what you're going to get."
Which, Caudle says, is good and bad. Each beer offers a different flavor profile, he says, and even Tabol doesn't release one on its own. The brewery may use it as a good blend component with something else.
Nic Caudle will use micro-organisms he's harvested himself, like samples scraped off mulberry trees and honeysuckle bushes, in the beers at Tabol Brewing.
Indeed, traditional sours like Flanders red ales and oud bruins are blends, reflecting additional skills needed by the blender.
Besides the funky and acidic wild beers, Tabol's taps will pour "clean" beers, made in a separate fermentation room.
"We'll make a little bit of most everything. What most breweries do for a side project will be our main focus. And most breweries' mainstay beers will be our side project," Caudle says. "We'll probably have a hoppy beer. We have plans for porters and stouts and barley wines. We'll have our own spin on them, too."
Rather than boxing their offerings into specific styles, though, Caudle says it will use descriptors instead.
"If I say an IPA, people are going to have an expectation," he says. "So we'll say, like, 'hoppy beer,' with 'these hops,' 'this ABV.'"
Having received all the necessary permits, Caudle and Dise have begun brewing and fermenting wild ales, gradually filling barrels in their five-barrel system. Mixed-culture beers take longer to finish, at least eight to 10 weeks and sometimes even months or years, compared to two-week fermentation for clean beers.
Before they can open to the public, they must finalize their large tasting room and large deck, which they're hoping will happen by late August.
Customers will need to go to the brewery to get their hands on Tabol beer — the partners have no distribution plans for the near future.
"Right now, it's a pretty crowded space out there," Dise says. "You can see with other breweries, it's definitely not necessary to put packages on shelves to be successful."

Japan's arena rock act ONE OK ROCK are starting 2017 off on the right foot thanks to the collection of tracks that make up their latest full-length and Fueled By Ramen debut. As their second English-language album (following 2015's 35xxxv) and eighth overall, Ambitions proves there is no shortage of experience among this quartet, and they in turn deliver their most polished and anthemic record to date.
ONE OK ROCK pull upon a more mainstream radio-friendly influence ("American Girls," "One Way Ticket"), but retain their edgy sound in the same vein as acts such as 30 Seconds To Mars and Bring Me The Horizon ("Taking Off," "We Are"). The band also recruited past tourmates 5 Seconds Of Summer ("Take What You Want") and All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth ("Jaded") for welcome cameos, the latter of which—unsurprisingly—the most pop-punk sounding track of the bunch. Overall, Ambitions is a landmark album, and it shows that ONE OK ROCK are certainly ones to watch as they will undeniably continue to take the world by storm.
