Storytelling - LaRezisto (LG15)

Emma's feeling quiet right now, but only because her spirit's getting
stronger. - Claire

Storytelling - LaRezisto (LG15) on LGPedia

The outfit Emma is wearing is the same as that which Bree was wearing in the videos preparing her for the ceremony; white t-shirt and jeans. She also holds onto her shoulder, as if there was something there, like the bandage Bree had on.

Throughout Emma's story, she is clearly taking cues from someone off-camera - presumably Claire. Emma actually spends more time looking above and away from the camera than she does looking into it. This might be a deliberate way of communicating that she is being monitored as she talks.

The Hopi believe that Tawa and Spider-woman were lovers. Once, when Tawa dreamed of creatures, Spider-woman made them from clay and wrapped them in a magic blanket that brought them to life. When they decided to make humans, the blanket did not bring them to life. So, Tawa and Spider-woman sang the "Song of Life," which brought them to life.

Avatars versus Virtual Worlds

Stardoll Hits Ten Million
We spoke with CEO Mattias Miksche in July to discuss the importance of avatars versus virtual worlds, and he emphasized the importance of identity and realism over immersiveness.

"“It took the world about two hundred millennia to achieve a population of 10 million; Stardoll did it in just over a year,” said Stardoll CEO Mattias Miksche."

The way us fans can help

by Virginian9000
on Fri Oct 19, 2007 2:44 pm

It is Glenn and Jeromy's responsibility to increase the fanbase and the view counts of their product. However, no one says the fans can't help.

Glenn made a true statement on breefm Wednesday, everyone who sees this series seems to like it, and i feel like this series just needs to get in front of more fans. There are two ways fans can help, and I am sure some will think of more:

1. The e-mail address to ask youtube to feature a video is [email protected] Ask youtube to feature the videos. While the first video you ask youtube to feature may not get featured, the youtube editors have said that repeated requests from multiple users for a video or one of a series of videos to be featured does play a role in who they decide to be featured. So, send those requests in.

2. Another way to get more people to watch the videos is youtube comments. Usually when a redearth88 vid is first posted, discussion starts on the youtube video site, the blog, the lg15 forum, the maddison atkins forum, and the IRC channel #maddison. If you throw in anchor cove, and the fact that maddison chatter spills over into the #breefm, #outofgame, and #hammy channels as well, you can easily have a nine way bifurcated conversation going. While this is usually fantastic to have these comments in so many places, it does place the videos at a disadvantage when it comes to getting the video on the most discussed videos list.

The last video by Rachel was only about 4 comments away from breaking into the "most discussed youtube videos for today". I started replying to people's comments, and it broke through. . .for about a couple of minutes, until one of the other most discussed videos picked up some comments, and the honor went away.

The next time a video is posted, post all comments on the youtube video. Have a theory? Throw it on there. Reply to other's comments and theories. If the conversation is kept mostly there, the video will easily hit the most discussed list for that day, and possibly the low end honors for the weekly totals. Most of the time, the top vids in the most discussed area have like thousands of comments. We are not going to get there, but we could end up on the third page of the most discussed list if we try. Glenn does usually post vids in the "people & blogs" section, which is the most popular section. It makes it harder to make the category list of most discussed, but it is also the most viewed section of youtube. Getting on the most discussed list in the people and blogs category is big.

I don't mean meaningless comments, either. That would defeat the purpose. Start a conversation by replying to others' comments. Act like you are chatting, just do it on the comment board (no rickrolls please, lol).

You know those ppl that can make a point with only a paragraph? Well, that's not me at all. So, sorry for the long post. I think we as fans can easily help J and G increase the view count and fan base. Also, more views and more comments can only help if and when J and G are showing this to potential advertisers or whatnot.

If everyone is able to do either (or both) of those suggestions, it would be a huge help toward getting the series in front of a larger audience!

Thank you for your continued support! It really means the world to both Jeromy and I!

RE: UFO Over New York City: Richard Feynman Comments

Richard Feynman is a physicict whom Bree has studied and enjoys. She tells a story from one of his books in Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!). She also has a picture of Feynman on her MySpace account.
Feynman was involved in the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. He later won a Nobel Prize for his contributions to understanding the behavior of subatomic particles. Several of Feynman's books became best-sellers, because of his ability to explain complicated physics to ordinary readers.

On This Day In LG15 History

October 19, 2006: Gemma, played by Jackie Jandrell (a friend of Jessica Rose), posted her first video to youtube: Nut Kills Man.

Fierce debates over whether Gemma was a canon character were put to rest when Bree posted her video Hi Gemma on Oct. 25.

Gemma is notable as the first major addition to the original lonelygirl15 cast of Bree and Daniel. Gemma posted 13 vlogs between October 19 and December 6, 2006, as well as appearing in a suite of OpAphid related videos later in December which pointed to the conclusion that Gemma was an OpAphid agent and killed by Brother. However, like most "deaths" in the Breeniverse, the proof of death was ambiguous enough to allow for Gemma's return to the series at a later date.

Gemma was the character who first identified Bree's religion as "The Order", and that the shadowy men following Bree at that time were known as "Watchers."

Consortium's user-generated content principles extend far beyond fair use

"As we reported earlier today, a group of major players in the video content area have banded together to come up with a set of user-generated content principles. Using the oddly-capitalized tag "Encourage creativity. Respect Intellectual Property,""

"The problem with relying on filters is that they don't "get" fair use. Filters can't distinguish between outright copyright infringement and the legitimate use of short sections of copyrighted material for parody, criticism, or educational purposes."

New copyright consortium looks to set agenda for handling online video

"Media companies including Viacom, Microsoft, MySpace, Fox, NBC, and CBS have joined forces to develop a common standard for handling copyrighted video online."

Bitsie Tulloch (Aunt Alex) Update

Here is an excerpt from Bitsie Tulloch's listing on imdb:

Tyranny (2007) (in production) .... Alex
"Quarterlife" (2007) TV Series (filming) .... Dylan Krieger
Vacuuming the Cat (2008) (post-production) .... Corrine
Lakeview Terrace (2008) (post-production) .... Nadine

Tulloch has the leading role in Quarterlife , a show scheduled to premier on MySpace online on November 11th with a full launch on the 12th, and second billing in the listing for the movie Tyranny (where she coincidentally plays a character named "Alex"), currently in production.

It appears that Quarterlife aims to build an online community on their website alongside the professionally produced show. The website says
quarterlife.com is a social networking site for creative people. Whatever your interest - photography, writing, music, filmmaking, dance, design - quarterlife.com will help you go to the next level. Connect with like-minded people, gather information about schools, grants, and internships.

Who will be the new co-star of RedEarth???

Glenn says that we can expect to see a familiar face as co-star in up coming episodes of RedEarth. The question is: Who will it be.

We want to know who you think it will be!!!!!!!

Leave a comment below with YOUR idea of who it could be, and we will see who gets it right:)

My sixth sense is telling me that it's going to be someone that we've never seen before but heard of... Cassie anyone?

I would like to see more of Bitsie Tulloch (Aunt Alex), but with Linc out of the picture, they probably need a male character.

The original Adam from Maddison Atkins and Joel Frady are dead as far as we know, but Adam Lamar is still around, and could work with Rachel if she is a student at SFA.

Since Glenn and Rachel are based in California, it is probably someone out there. Voyboy maybe? ;)

I think it might be Glenn himself.

Given that Becki Kregoski was so secretive about her next move (see email to Killthesmiley), neither confirming nor denying her involvement with LG15, and since she has stated that she is moving out of LA (to Nacogdoches?), it is quite possible that "Taylor" will be the character jumping from LG15 to RedEarth88.

ok... i thought he couldn't use any of the LG15 characters, so I assume it's not Gemma or Taylor or anybody like that. if it was Becki, she'd have to be a different character, right?

Gemma: If you buy she was under mind control, you could argue that last we saw her she was captured and reprogrammed.

Taylor or Spencer: If Bitsie can go on to Quarterlife then why not?

Maddison or Adam: They could show up with no memories of what happened.

Clara: They share the same advisor.

Episode commentary: Cut To The Chase - lofisyndicate

We were spotted, but I think we're okay for the moment. However, I don't want to risk being followed again... It's hard to form a strategy when I don't even know who we're up against. Also, it's becoming difficult to keep secrets from Rachel--especially when I need her to trust me.
I think it's time to rendezvous. Get in touch with me ASAP.
PS. Do I have you to thank for the assist back there?

Cut To The Chase - lofisyndicate on LGPedia

Greg Gallows asked about the warspy device. While Glenn was working at CNET he saw someone on the street looking at himself on a security camera. You can grab the public signal using a warspy device.

In LG15 it would probably have been shot down because it was too complicated for Bree/Daniel to build. With cut to the chase he originally intended to use real surveillance footage. It presented legal problems regarding ownership of the video. If someone is not consenting to the shoot it gets tricky. Hence Glenn has to simulate "the look". It was shot in the Encino area close to where a lot of LG is shot (its also the area where the cowboy was shot and the clinic video).

A lot of people appreciate an action video and the warspy device is key to how those are done. Kevin Rose ( digg.com) has a video that shows how to make one.

Bory asked about the name RedEarth. The name is very old. It suggests very interesting things.

Zoey asked if 88 is a reference to the year Rachel was born. Glenn said that is one of them, but there is more!

Virginian9000 asked how J and G plan to expand the fan base for Maddison Atkins

Glenn - cant go into detail but the fans can do something. The series name is RedEarth88: it covers everything so think of it as an umbrella for Maddison Atkins, Rachel, Lofisyndicate, Warpylol. You can watch RedEarth and just get a straight narrative. The other characters will exist in a more grey area with ARG elements.

There is another component of the RedEarth88 series that has not arrived yet. Expect to see a new co-star: a familiar face in RedEarth. Glenn enjoyed working in stealth for the first few weeks. The bio on the 12th street house site was set up previously for other projects.

What can we do?
a) Tell people to check out RedEarth88.
b) Secondly you can sent e-mails to youtube to ask for it to be featured: [email protected] Youtube actually has someone who picks out content to be featured. Tahcyon and Opaphid numbers are not that far away from being in the top 100. If RedEarth88 could get the youtube partner program that would be huge!.

There would be more OpAphid videos but they take approximately 5 days or more to produce. For every one that has been posted, several have not finished the production cycle.

The Rachel videos are more straight forward. Sara is a fantastic actress: the best Glenn has ever worked with. The universe is wider than our views of it (the tag at the end says a lot).

They would like to get RedEarth88 out infront of investors but they just have not had time.

Roytheboy asked: how do you get funding?

Glenn - had saved up enough money (journalism, consulting etc) to put down a down payment on a house,....and then he got the idea for OpAphid and decided to take a chance. Zero income from LG15, OpAphid etc so he has basically gambled.
Glenn said he cannot talk about where he was two weeks ago: a story that was reported on this blog.
"The Untold Saga of the Cowboy": now auditioning.
Post your videos on YouTube. Deadline Oct 24.
IPOD OPERA (What is it?).: A YouTube group. Glenn had different accounts. OpAphid, Warpylol etc. It is called that because its an anagram for Operation Aphid. The group was set up early on when he was still figuring things out. There might be some members dropping out and there might be some people being added....so stay tuned. We have seen Warpylol is not affiliated with OpAphid so are they on different sides of the fence or still working together? People have speculated and some of it is correct. The concept originally was the idea of an official group that players could belong to or have some affiliation with.

You have core ideas and you have ideas that you would like to do. The core story has always been solid. With the looser part it can be interesting because you can find new shades.

Lofisyndicate is an organisation that has an interactive component. We did not really get to explore that but there will be more in the future. People can serves as part of the organisation as it gets expanded in the coming weeks and months. It could go beyond iPod Opera.

One BAD idea that was never done: People were trying to work with OpAphid. If you pissed off OpAphid you could be declared fair game which mean that the other players would harass you (cf Scleintology Operation Clam Bake). OpAphid did that a little on peoples profiles. Why was it a BAD idea: If you are playing the game you could mess with OpAphid back. It also seemed like borderline harassment.

Brother - in character interaction:
Glenn used to have a lot of phone numbers so he could definately have messed with people but he went way out of his way not to harass people.
Rachel's theme: Glenn wrote the track
The story behind the videos is often just as interesting as the videos. For example:
Safety concerns with Watcher using numb chucks: Amanda is the voice of reason.

In "Human Ransom," Miles dad hooked up the building. Greg was the one who threw the FLASH BANG and he did it two times in a row!!!! It was a stripped can of soup that was modified in after effects to give it that look It was probably a small can of Cambells soup.
Dehteraew: how do you say the name? It is "we are the D" in reverse (a referene to the D in OpAphid) The recent video Farewells was not part of RedEarth88. It included LG footage and Glenn said he would not do that. Glenn wished Logan Rapp all the best in other projects.
Teaser: the scoop on RED TERRITORY ....NEXT WEEK.

With all this said, one really big mystery remains. When will we see Glenn " Juggle for World Peace"?

    Thewinekone was one of the many youtube artist that helped propel Lonelygirl15 into it's fame. If you are a regular viewer of his video, you will know that Tony (thewinekone) has a very funny mind that resides for the most part in the gutter.
    Unfortunately, however, due to the new crack down by YouTube Moderators he received an email notice warning him about his "vulgar" jokes. However, while this is occurring spammers are spamming youtube channels, people are posting videos with womens breasts as their main image, people are using bots and underage girls are dancing around in thongs and bras.

    So I, Kill the smiley, am asking you to help save Thewinekone! He helped make this community what we are today, lets show him our gratitude by making our voice heard by the youtube community! Make a video declaring your disturbance with this action while they are letting worse offenders run ramped undetected.
    On top of that, make sure Tony knows that you don't want him to leave YouTube (as he's considering doing!)

    (This video does have cursing)

    If you've made a video response send me the link, I'm going to be covering this next week on my show on Bree.FM

    Where Is Becki?

    In response to many fans' inquiries regarding Becki's status on lonelygirl15, she sent this e-mail to fan Killthesmiley.

    Becki Kregoski:

    "I'm doing a lot of filming for other projects right now, and in the middle of moving out of LA. As for LG15, I can't confirm or deny ANYTHING. Besides, it's more fun to keep the mystery about what's happening, isn't it? :) We'll just have to watch and see, that's all I have to say about it (and all I can say). Hope you're having a good weekend!"

    While it does not officially confirm or deny anything, it does seem to imply that, because she is moving out of LA, where lonelygirl15 is filmed, Becki will not be appearing many future lonelygirl15 videos.

    A warning from Killsthesmiley:

    Who is Dr. William Arscott?

    Dr. William Arscott is a character in Maddison Atkins. He is Clara Stokes's cinematography professor and academic advisor at Stephen F. Austin. He assigned her the topic of "Maddison Atkins and Adam Wilmott's deaths" for her final thesis. There has been much speculation as to his motivation for doing so.
    Also, in Rachel's video Where Does The Time Go?, she thanks her film professer, Dr. Arscott, for giving her an extention on her project. The idea that there are two Dr. Arscotts in the story is very far-fetched, so viewers are left to assume that they are one in the same and that Rachel attends Stephen F. Austin with Clara.

    Everything You Need To Know About Maddison Atkins

    Chapter two of Maddison Atkins follows a lazy film student named Clara Stokes as she attempts to complete her thesis on the deaths of Maddison and Adam. She arranges meetings with many people involved in investigation of the deaths, as well as people involved in the events leading up to the deaths themselves. However, after finding the accused murderer dead, Clara realizes that she's in over her head. She quickly became withdrawn, gets terrible nightmares, and refuses to work on her thesis any longer. She begins drowning her sorrows in alcohol. Maddison's father, Gregory Atkins tries to entice Clara to continue working on the project, offering her money to continue doing so. Additonally, Marla Singer, an online friend of Clara's, tries to help by visiting her, but does not have any luck.
    Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, a young girl named Rachel receives a film assignment from her professor, and begins putting together video diaries chronologizing her life. She talks about her ex-boyfriend Jordan and her worries about an STD test. Elsewhere, a young man named Linc receives instructions to protect Rachel. The two meet and go on a date, but Rachel quickly becomes mad when she finds out Linc's intentions are to protect her, not to date her. She dumps Linc, and goes for her STD test. However, things do not go well there, and Linc ends up having to rescue Rachel from a mysterious doctor. Rachel and Linc go on the run, but soon get kidnapped by OpAphid.

    Maddison's journals

    While she was alive, Maddison Atkins kept a journal detailing her life. These journals were kept private from her online friends for a long time, but have since been released through a series of puzzles by Marla Singer. This article tracks the journal entries made public thus far.

    Marla's Puzzle

    On September 15th, 2007, Marla posted a video, called The Journals, stating that she didn't feel comfortable reading Maddison's journals to us. To make it up to people, she decided to create a "tiny game" for us. This hint about a "tiny" game suggested that we should look for a tinyurl. By looking at her YouTube tags, we were able to find an unusual one - 25w2un. We put this together in a tinyurl and came up with http://tinyurl.com/25w2un.

    On October 13th, 2007, Marla posted a video, called Fuck. Oh well. In it, she said that she had posted a journal entry by accident, and since Clara would probably never see it anyways, she would continue posting them. In her video's tags, she included two unusual ones: 338 and lex. Putting them together, we were able to come up with a tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/388lex .

    "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" - Cowboy Style

    Improvisational Cowboy Style Reinterpretation of Mark Antony's speech from William Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR.

    Here is the original speech:

    Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
    I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
    The evil that men do lives after them;
    The good is oft interred with their bones;
    So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
    Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
    If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
    And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
    Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest -
    For Brutus is an honourable man;
    So are they all, all honourable men -
    Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
    He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
    But Brutus says he was ambitious;
    And Brutus is an honourable man.
    He hath brought many captives home to Rome
    Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
    Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
    When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
    Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
    Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
    And Brutus is an honourable man.
    You all did see that on the Lupercal
    I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
    Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
    Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
    And, sure, he is an honourable man.
    I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
    But here I am to speak what I do know.
    You all did love him once, not without cause:
    What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
    O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
    And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
    My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
    And I must pause till it come back to me.

    Sonia steals the moonchild?

    According to LGPedia:
    Sonia was one of the party guests from the party that Jonas, Daniel, and Alex went to at Rebecca's house. Sonia is Carl's girlfriend and a friend of Alex. She is apparently drunk while talking to Daniel. Daniel interrupts a conversation between her and Carl, which Carl gets very angry about, though Sonia insists it is fine. Sonia and Carl later appear with Bree in Sing With Me as apparently brainwashed members of the Hymn of One, and they appear at the HoO seminar.
    Sonia later appears in Nothing More, Nothing Less and A Family Affair, appearing in tune with her song and devoted to the Hymn of One. Her appearance in Spreading the Song, however, reveals not she is not content with the answers she receives from the Hymn of One, and wonders if there is any truth to what "those kids" have been saying about her religion.
    In We All Make Mistakes, Sonia tells us she was in the HoO, but has since learned of the LG15 videos and realized how evil it is. She also says that she has information on the HoO that will help TAAG and that she plans to use the information to help fight the Order
    In They'll Do Anything, Sonia steals the moonchild.

Diving Into The Depths of Chatroulette... For Cash?

Over the past few weeks, the online webcam chat site Chatroulette has risen from the depths of the internet to become the latest craze, being demonstrated numerous times on news and comedy programs alike. If you're not familiar with the site, you probably shouldn't feel like you're missing much; while it is strangely addicting running into new strangers and seeing if they will be willing to interact with you, the site is sadly overrun with men feeling the need to pleasure themselves for the camera (despite the presence of a feature to report inappropriate chatters). If you feel the need to know more, you can find articles or videos about the site on pretty much any news site in existence.

But this article is not to discuss the banality of the site itself, nay! We're informing you of a (semi) new contest created by UK company French Connection utilizing Chatroulette. The contest in of itself sounds simple enough: log on to Chatroulette, romance someone and convince them to go out with you, and then send a log of your success to the blog admin at French Connection to be entered for a chance to win a £250 voucher to the store. The rub here is that the majority of people on Chatroulette are quick to move on to the next person, and catching their eye (much less hitting it off enough to snag a date) is incredibly difficult.

If you think you've got what it takes and can handle several inadvertent exposures to male genitalia, you should probably read the full rules here. The competition is open to UK citizens over the age of 18, and there's less than one week left to enter.

Even if you don't enter, Chatroulette may be worth checking out once, just to say you did. And, hey, you may even run into one of the numerous celebrities that are checking it out at the same time.

  1. I saw evil renegade's baby carrot dick on chatroulette.

  2. and you licked your computer screen lustily.

  3. you couldn't have seen renegade's dick on chatroulette since he doesn't have one.

  4. It definitely had become an over night hit. Thanks for the article Shiori!!!!!!

    OK - Promise Raines, 16, Tahlequah, 7 June 2015

    Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

    "When from a long distant past nothing persists, after the people are dead, after things are broken and scattered, still alone, more persistent, more faithful, the smell and taste of things remain poised a long, long time like souls, ready to remind us, waiting, hoping for their moment amid the ruins of all the rest, and bear unfaltering in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence the vast structure of recollection."

    Runaway teen considered ‘endangered’
    Monday, June 29, 2015 10:42 am

    Cherokee County sheriff’s investigators said Friday that a runaway girl missing since June 8 is now considered an “endangered runaway.”

    Undersheriff Jason Chennault said the medical problems of 16-year-old Promise Raines led to the change.

    Found with her father:

    Promise Raines was found in Illinois with her father in Carthage, Ill. Jeremiah Raines was arrested and the 16-year-old was taken to juvenile detention.

    When Raines first went missing, deputies believed she may have had help from a 20-year-old male friend. It's not clear when or where Raines joined her father.

    According to the Hancock County Jail, Jeremiah Raines was arrested for obstructing justice and harboring a runaway.

LED lamps are more affordable and efficient than was expected I

<< Go Back Posted By:administrator on Mar 24,2015in Industry News

LED lamps from quality suppliers are far beyond industry and expert forecasts as they are rapidly reducing in price and improving in energy efficiency. In addition, major consumer and professional lighting companies have announced their intention to switch to 100% LED by 2016.

Halogen lamps have been the most popular lighting choice among European consumers. With 477% sales growth across Europe between 2007 and 2013, halogen sales were higher than expected by the European Commission, according to a market research report. Consumers meanwhile avoided CFLs, with sales of energy-efficient CFLs in decline since 2010. This unexpected shift away from CFL support halogen undercut the anticipated energy savings from phasing out incandescent lamps.

European policy leaders are making a decision whether to keep, amend or delay the final stage of an existing law that would shift the market totally from halogen to LED lamps starting in Sept. 2016. According to a new analysis, LED lamps have already been much more affordable and energy-efficient than was expected.

The best DIY shows in Denver in October

The best DIY shows in Denver in October

DUSTIN WONG & TAKAO MINEKAWA at RHINOCEROPOLIS | 10/23/13 Dustin Wong first gained notice as a member of Baltimore's passionately exuberant post-punk band Ponytail. In that outfit, Wong's guitar work gave the band a wiry sonic detail that made its songs even more exciting. When Ponytail split in 2011, Wong moved out of Baltimore and embarked on a solo career of largely instrumental guitar music. What's made Wong's solo work remarkable since then is that while its drawn immediate comparisons to the music of Hella and perhaps Marnie Stern, there is a compellingly narrative quality in his use of sound and melody, rather than just merely serving as a display of his considerable technical prowess. Wong is currently touring with Takako Minekawa in support of their collaborative album Toropical Circle.

SAT | ESMERELDA STRANGE at MOUTH HOUSE | 10/5/13 Esmerelda Strange has been a bit of a gypsy during the course of her musical career. Having been based in San Francisco and Seattle, Strange now resides in Denver. As a solo artist, Strange has put together an act that draws on the Vaudeville tradition, and her performances are almost as much performance art as musical. Singing in both Spanish and English, Strange brings the irreverent spirit and energy of punk to her songs, which are also infused with elements of cumbia, Norteno and, yes, gypsy overtones.

TUES | CURSE! at RHINOCEROPOLIS | 10/08/13 Jane Vincent was once a member of the Baltimore-based band Abiku, and in that group, she helped to create disorienting, noisy, yet tuneful, visceral and jittery pop music using drum machines, 8-bit sounds and various other instrumentation. With Logan Terkelsen, formerly of Pfister, Vincent formed CURSE!, a duo that moves beyond what both Vincent and Terkelsen had done in each of their previous projects. There's a certain densely physical quality to the music that's darker and kindred to the sound of fellow travelers of unconventionally psychedelic music, Indian Jewelry. CURSE! is touring in support of its latest release, the confrontationally hypnotic and riveting Between The Wardrobe & The Wall.

FRI | HORSE LORDS at GLOB | 10/11/13 Horse Lords is a quartet from Baltimore, Maryland that has transmuted the classical background that exists within the band, whether traditional classical or modern classical, and channels those skills through the influence of American avant-garde composers like La Monte Young and James Tenney. The result is a music that has technical prowess to burn but which is playful in its use of alternate tunings, eccentric rhythms and its use of multi-media elements in the shows. Sonically, Horse Lords have more in common with modern experimental guitar bands like Hella and Skeletons than with any particular tradition, which makes the group not just an interesting live band but one that is energetic and compelling.

FRI | PEPPER GRISWALD at MOUTH HOUSE | 10/11/13 Pepper Griswald is not the name of the grandmother that was tied to the roof of the station wagon in the National Lampoon's Vacation, but rather it is a band from Albuquerque, New Mexico, with an offbeat and irreverent sense of humor. Witness song titles like "Cuz Bklyn, Ya Know?," which appears on a release called Ancient Herd, whose cover bears a blue whale swimming on the surface of a sea of sand through cacti. Musically these guys are partly instrumental, psychedelic rock with a paradoxical heavy edge coursing through the center -- it's as though the band realized it liked doom or drone metal but didn't want to be like every other band mining that musical territory, so it brought in melody and very unconventional dynamics.

SAT | NAMES DIVINE at RHINOCEROPOLIS | 10/12/13 This Chicago band and its sprawling membership has, in some ways, the kind of commune/cult vibe that San Francisco's Sleepy Sun had early on. Inspired by both Neil Young and Jandek, Names Divine has an informal, countrified flavor to its bluesy psychedelia, and though it may look like some hippies have taken over the venue for the length of the band's set, there is a moody heaviness to some of the act's material that should dispel such notions. The group's eclectic flavor clearly comes from a deep well of constantly evolving creativity, just as its moniker suggests.

SAT | JACK'S SMIRKING REVENGE at 7TH CIRCLE | 10/12/13 Alex Pelissero started Jack's Smirking Revenge -- the moniker a reference to Fight Club -- as a solo project. His politically charged folk-punk anthems and songs about personal frustrations and triumphs are delivered with a charming, nervy energy and unaffected wit that elevates the music. In recent months, the solo project has become more of a band, and as a three piece, Jack's Smirking Revenge has allowed Pelissero to stretch out even more as a vocalist and performer, as opposed to being solely responsible for keeping the rhythm, which has made the music even more dynamic and impactful.

THURS | PONY TIME at RHINOCEROPOLIS | 10/17/13 This Seattle two-piece met in 2009 when the two members were helping a friend move a stereo. Though in more than one sense a garage rock band, Pony Time definitely bucks convention. Luke Beetham plays bass and baritone guitar, giving the group's energizing sound a rich, melodic low end, while Stacy Peck's drumming is on the brighter more spiky end of the sonic spectrum, lending the music its irresistible momentum. Yes, there's a bit of that Great Northwest sound in the band's music, but the songs are also rooted in the primal beats of riot grrrl punk and the cathartic release of Thee Milkshakes.

FRI | GRAVE RAVERS #20 at RHINOCEROPOLIS | 10/18/13 This marks the 20th edition of the now long-running showcase/residency of experimental electronic music often held at Rhinoceropolis or some other off-the-beaten path venue. Think of it as being like a '90s rave without the volume of people and even more underground. Featuring breakcore artists like the U.K.'s Microphyst and the Parliamentalist, alongside Spanish breakcore collage artists Santisima Virgen Maria and techno-breakcore wunderkind, the Portland-based FoxDye, Grave Ravers #20 promises to be a night of aggressive, beautifully disorienting music.

TUES | WHILT at 7TH CIRCLE | 10/29/13 Based on what this Denver-based band says about itself, it has taken the path of excess to the palace of wisdom where the Electric Wizard Sleeps in that Cathedral. But really, this outfit's music sounds like it tried to find the heaviest, most crushing, sludgy sound imaginable in crafting its songs. Maybe they're playing in drop C, or using a heavier gauge strings -- whatever the actual formula, Whilt's metal is osmium compared to most other bands' aluminum. And it's not a joke, all humorous references aside. This band's oceanic compositions definitely take you on an emotional/psychological journey through a cosmic realm of supernatural peril.

Debate rages about food aid to North Korea

Published on 10 May 2011

The U.N. says hunger is driving some North Koreans to eat more wild grass, and humanitarians are pressuring the U.S. and South Korea to send food. (..) The U.N. report from March paints a stark picture: More than 6 million North Koreans, about a quarter of the population, need urgent international food aid. The World Food Program said last month it is launching an emergency operation to help feed 3.5 million hungry people in North Korea.

Whirligig is now on Steam

Well just under a week ago I uploaded the first version of Whirligig to Steam. This is a big thing for me and is the first time I've ever put anything I've made up for sale. A one person project is a big task to take on especially as I've had to work on it part time. Well below is 'the announcement' that I've put all my cards on the table, hat into the ring or neck on the line.

Why are you selling a free player?

So I've been working on this player/maker thing for around 2 years now and I've spent a long long time trying to make it a useful tool for just watching films or working with media in a production environment. I've done this for the joy of working in VR and looking to the future of making my own interactive experiences. Well now I think it's at a stage to see if anyone else would like it. I was sent a Vive  by Valve which was coool and I started working on interaction with their controllers. They also gave me a steamworks account and a way to put Whirligig on the Steam Store. So as the first step was done for me I thought it would be a good idea to get it up and running on the Steam store and see if people wanted it. As far as I could work out I couldn't find any way to put it on for free (I'm sure there is I've seen other stuff for free). So I've put a reasonable price on it, I think $3.99, less than a pint of beer, at least here in the UK to see what happens.

I want to continue working on this player/tool and to do so I need time and hopefully feedback from the community to find out what people and want. I think that although there are other video players out there, that there is a place for Whirligig amongst them. It has some unique features and I am constantly updating it to try and make it even more useful. With your support I can carry on that development and make it an even better tool for everyone.

What about the free version?

I don't want to get rid of the free version. I think the free version is a good way to get people using VR as a video format and it has some good features that makes it stand out. So I'm going to continue to release free versions. What might happen is the free version might become a demo version on the Steam site. I don't intend to have a crippled unusable version. It will play the films in the same quality and with the same features. But the paid version will have some interesting inclusions. More of which, next.

What does the paid version offer over the free version.

The paid version has full VR control without the need of the keyboard. It should turn the Whirligig experience into a much nicer experience for all.

Example of the Vive controller interaction.

Better rooms for that living room effect

Better rooms for that living room effect

The above examples show some of the advances in the player for the paid for version, including a far nicer looking room.

I also intend to update the paid for version a bit more regularly. The great thing about steam is that I have an ecosystem for me to release the player in. It has forums, pushes out updates to users, beta options and much much more. An ecosystem such as this is a proper place to have a product to allow it to grow. With something like this I can communicate and work with the community to help make the player better. This is something that is quite difficult to achieve when you just have a website and dropbox account.

A little bit about the steam site

I've released it as Early Access. This is because at this stage although it been out for a while it still needs proper feedback from the platform it's being distributed on and also when I finally go to release it I want to know that it is at a stage where it is documented well and free from the bigger of the bugs. Although it has a homemade feel to it I want it to be useable and enjoyable. Once I'm happy that Whirligig is at a stage that can be released I'll then release it and have a stream of betas that will add more features for the most adventurous of us.

So what do you want from us then? Is it just our money, it's just our money isn't it.

No, dear god no. I've put it up for a small amount because I'm hoping to be able to continue to develop it. With sales comes the ability for me to make time (I'm currently in a full time job as well as making this player). I'll also be able to invest money into better video plugins, assets to make more rooms and work with others to make the experience better for everyone. It will give me a chance to be able to add much more advanced features such as watching 3d blurays, watching with friends from anywhere around the world, advanced production support such as Spout support, planetarium rooms for dome production and integration with other programs such as PlayblastVR (currently it has it but there is alway room for improvements) or even After effects.

If it is supported then it will be possible to add these features or many others that I haven't even thought of yet that can be suggested by you. I also want to continue my development of making Whirligig so customisable it can be used in promote other people's work, be used in demonstration environments and also my muse that is to make an adventure game in it :)

So if you do buy it you can help me by reviewing it on Steam (I would really much prefer positive reviews but if you have to, tell me what's wrong with it) get on the forum and report bugs, make suggestion, talk amongst yourselves.

I think Whirligig can be far more than just a player and I hope to be able to make this happen.

And finally

I've just updated the Steam version of the player with bug fix updates and control updates to help people having problems with the d-pad. I will be updating the free version tomorrow with these updates so that everyone can benefit.

So if you buy Whirligig on Steam, thank you very much, I look forward to hearing what you think. If you are downloading it for free from here then also let me know what you think. Either way I hope you enjoy using Whirligig and I hope to be impressing you some great updates in the future.

Until next time.

Over and out.

  • 20 handpicked store leads with detailed buyer info, email & snail mail.
  • Powerful & simple online system to manage outreach & responses.
  • Unlimited expert wholesale coaching and support.

Why it matters:

  • Avoid $10-$15K trade shows & take wholesale into your hands.
  • Get organized with a simple system to add stockists.
  • Always know exactly what to do next to gain accounts.

Our Promise to You

We know creative freedom matters. So we have no contracts, no commitments, and you can start, stop, or change plans whenever you want. Give it a try -- love it or get 100% of your money back in your first 30 days.

Need help deciding if Wholesale In a Box is a good fit?

We would love to talk about how you are hoping to grow and see if it's right for you. Email us at

Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t I need to do trade shows to grow wholesale?
How you grow is certainly up to you, but many makers we work with find that the $10-$15K cost of going to a trade show is a big gamble for a small business. With Wholesale In a Box, you're able to grow your wholesale in a more accessible, lower risk way.

What is the success rate? How many stores will I get?
It varies. Some of our customers have gotten 5 stores in their first month, and others saw growth that was much slower than that. We find it has a lot to do with the consistency of how they reach out and follow up, the quality of their product line, as well as how much thought they put into things like their line sheet. There are certainly no guarantees, but for someone that wants to grow and doesn't have the time to do ALL the legwork and planning themselves -- this is a really high-yield way to invest in growing over the course of a few months.

Do you help with line sheets? Storytelling? Email templates?
Absolutely! We love to help our makers with those pieces of the process. You’ll get an in-depth email course after you sign up to help guide you through those steps. Plus, we are available for free unlimited expert business coaching, one-on-one via phone or email whenever you need feedback, an in-depth review, or to bounce an idea off someone!

When you say free unlimited business coaching and support, what do you mean?
You can schedule a wholesale coaching call with Emily as often as you want. Those sessions are priced at $150.00 each for folks outside of Wholesale In a Box. Plus, you can send over samples of your outreach, line sheets, website links, etc. anytime and we'll provide you with feedback for each iteration.

What if I just want to jump on the phone once for help?
Wholesale In a Box subscriptions come with free unlimited business coaching and support. But if you'd like some guidance and aren't a Wholesale In a Box subscriber, we offer individual coaching sessions for makers and creative business owners through One Mill Co.

Do you work with businesses like mine?
Click here to see some of the makers we work with and what folks have to say about Wholesale In a Box.

How did you two get into this?
We have each spent the last decade working with artisan makers and producers and are really passionate about helping these independent spirits flourish. Recently, we noticed that the generation of makers who started on Etsy and at craft fairs are now struggling to get their products into brick and mortar stores. So we decided to use our past experience and our passion to help maker businesses do the work they love in a sustainable way. You can read more about us here.

What if I get busy and need to take a break from outreach?
We offer a $49/month "Cultivate" plan. While you’re on Cultivate we won’t send you new stores to reach out to but you can continue to reach out to any stores from previous months, have access to the app, and cultivate your existing wholesale accounts. You can switch back to the Grow plan and get 20 more stores whenever you are ready.

Eek! That’s a lot of money for my business!
We can understand that! And Wholesale In a Box certainly isn't for everyone. But the makers we work with tend to find that the dozens of hours saved, expert business coaching, and wholesale growth more than earn back the investment.

Do you email the stores or do I?
You do. We have found that stores want to hear from the maker herself. We are not reps or brokers -- we're your secret weapon in introducing your work to stores faster, easier, and most importantly -- more effectively. We give you 20 handpicked store leads per month, an online tool preloaded with your outreach tasks for every single store, and unlimited business coaching to make sure your outreach is professional and effective.

What if I don't like it? What if it doesn't work for me?
We have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Use Wholesale In a Box for a month and if you're not thrilled, shoot us an email and we will give you a refund.

Is there a contract and do you guys take a fee?
Nope! No contract and no percentage of sale fees other than the monthly $119 fee. It renews every month but you can cancel at any time.

Can you give me stores that focus on or stay away from a certain region, such as the Northwest?
Absolutely! Just tell us where you are looking to focus in your survey. We can’t go to the far extreme -- like all 20 stores from just 2 or 3 cities or a single state, for instance -- but if you’re looking to grow in a certain place or avoid a certain place, we can make that a focus of the stores each month.

Who is this not a good fit for?
We’ve found that the people who get the most leverage from Wholesale In a Box are folks who design and make something that they are really passionate about, and that is unique in the marketplace. We don’t recommend it for folks who are large-scale manufacturers or importers of goods, even if they are unique, as many of the stores we work with are focused on handmade goods. We also don’t work well for brands that only want to be in big box or chain retailers.

'Primal Call' -Coyote
14"H x 6"L x 11"W
Edition of 48

The coyote is one of the most adaptable predators in north America. Vilified through the ages, the coyote endures, populating city alleyways to remote deserts. An opportunist in nearly every way, they can survive on the most meager rations of anything available, plant or animal. I remember in my youth, late at night with covers pulled up to my chin, listening closely the haunting chorus and yips as they conversed in the dark. In later years, I found a great respect for them. And although we raised cattle, we never found proof that we lost a calf due to coyote attack.

Conservative Government in denial as the Badger Army gears up for a busy year.

Conservative Government in denial as the Badger Army gears up for a busy year.

Like This Video 1492 wildtalkadmin
Added by January 18, 2016

The Badger Army is a growing group of volunteers from all over the UK that have come together in protest against the Conservative Government’s badger cull. Over the past two years the campaigners have organised 31 protest marches, surveyed for 100s of badger setts in the cull zones, searched for wounded badgers during the culls and patrolled the cull zones at night with the aim of saving as many badger lives as possible.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Badger Army will be busy over the coming years.

Despite the latest figures reported by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) showing that TB in cattle is rising in and around the badger cull zones, Environment Secretary Liz Truss reported to the House of Commons just before the Christmas break that “Our strategy to eradicate bovine TB is working” and announced plans to extend the badger cull to 12 areas of England over the next two years.

BadgerThe Conservative Government appears to be in denial about the failure of the badger cull. After 3 years of culling badgers, the most up to date data released by DEFRA for Somerset shows that in the 12 months to September 2014 the level of new TB incidents in cattle was 297 but in the 12 months to September 2015 this had risen to 320. This is a 7.75% increase in cattle infected by TB.

The experience in England is in marked contrast to the success in Wales where no badgers have been culled for over six years. Farmers and the Welsh Government have implemented a comprehensive bovine TB eradication plan which has concentrated on annual testing of cattle, strict bio-security measures and movement control. New incidents of bovine TB in cattle are reported to be down by 28% in Wales with a 45% cut in the number of cattle being slaughtered. This now leaves 94% of the Welsh heard TB free.

The Badger Army is not the only group opposed to the badger cull. Calls to abandon the cull have come from a host of wildlife and conservation organisations and experts including The Wildlife Trusts, The Badger Trust, RSPB, The Mammals Society, The Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, Animal Aid, League Against Cruel Sports, RSPCA, Broadcaster and naturalist Chris Packham, Dr Brian May and David Attenborough who have all branded the cull as of being ineffective, inhumane and more likely to spread the disease than control it.

0391-1024x765Chairman of the Badger Trust Peter Martin commented “The Government’s own risk assessments stated before the culls began that there was a high probability that cattle TB rates would rise following the badger culls and this was backed up by the country’s top scientists in the field.” He added “In practice the culls have been condemned by independent scientists and vets as inhumane and the sub-optimal way they are being conducted means they have mostly failed to achieve even their basic targets. Unless the government can prove the culling of badgers is working in terms of lowering TB in cattle, this cruel, ineffective and hugely costly policy must be stopped immediately.”

Given the obvious failure of the badger cull to reduce TB in cattle and the level of opposition from the general public, many scientists and wildlife experts are asking the question: Why is Government pressing ahead with the cull?

The National Farmers Union (NFU) is, however, in full support of the cull. The NFU President Meurig Raymond said in response to the news that the badger cull would be extended “Farmers are absolutely ready to go in lots of areas for next year and the year after that. I believe the Secretary of State’s announcement and the determination she has shown will increase the impetus and enthusiasm of the people involved. Farmers are also picking up anecdotal evidence in Somerset and Gloucestershire of herds going clear and are even more convinced culling has to be part of the strategy if they are going to eradicate TB in the next five to 10 years.”

The Latest: Ryan Seacrest denies inappropriate behavior

November 17, 2017 - 10:59 pm

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on sexual harassment allegations against celebrities and media (all times local):

7:15 p.m.

Ryan Seacrest is disputing an allegation that he engaged in inappropriate behavior with an employee at E! News nearly a decade ago.

In a statement Friday, Seacrest says his former wardrobe stylist made the complaint. Seacrest isn't releasing details of the allegation but says he's "truly sorry" if he made her feel "anything but respected."

Still, Seacrest disputes the allegation, which he calls reckless, and describes himself as "an advocate for women."

E! spokeswoman Joanne Park says the network is investigating.

4:40 p.m.

A Los Angeles talent agent says allegations that he sexually assaulted actress Demi Mann are false and egregious.

Cameron Mitchell says in a statement released by a spokeswoman Friday that Mann had been "under consideration" for representation by the high-profile talent agency he worked for, Creative Arts Agency.

Mann filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging that she had been sexually harassed and that Mitchell had forced her to perform oral sex on him twice. She also said she went to a bar with him and then only remembered waking up in her bed with him lying nude next to her.

Mitchell says that after he told Mann she was no longer being considered for representation by CAA she brought the allegations to CAA's human resources office.

Mann alleged in her suit that CAA ignored the allegations and "divorced itself from the matter." CAA says it launched an immediate investigation and suspended Mitchell last month

The company says Mann was never a client of the agency and that Mitchell had formed a personal relationship with her. CAA says that as of Friday, Mitchell no longer works at the agency.

CAA says it will vigorously fight the allegations made in Mann's lawsuit in court.

4:15 p.m.

Vice Media has appointed a seven-woman advisory board to examine workplace issues at the media company following a report in The Daily Beast that Vice tolerated inappropriate behavior and harassment toward women.

Feminist icon Gloria Steinem, who has a series on the Viceland cable network, is on the panel. Other members include Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to First Lady Michelle Obama; Maya Harris, a senior adviser on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign; and lawyer Roberta Kaplan.

The Daily Beast said that some people at Vice cited the company's "Non-Traditional Workplace Agreement," which requires new employees to say they weren't bothered by images and information that some would consider offensive, as an excuse to overlook bad behavior.

The company has said it will investigate specific allegations of misbehavior outlined in the article, which included allegations by more than a dozen women who spoke of harassing behavior and company indifference.

2:40 p.m.

Actress Demi Mann says she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by her agent and his high-profile Los Angeles talent agency did nothing to stop it and "divorced itself from the matter" when she tried to report the assaults.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles alleges sexual battery, unfair business practices and sexual harassment.

Mann charges she was sexually harassed and then sexually assaulted by her agent, Cameron Mitchell, who works for Creative Arts Agency, LLC. She says Mitchell grabbed the back of her head and forced her to perform oral sex in June and again in August.

Mann also says she went to a West Hollywood bar with Mitchell in September and woke up later that night with no memory of what happened and Mitchell lying next to her nude.

She says she tried to report the incidents to the talent agency's human resources office, but no one would meet with her. She says the company "refused to take any action."

A representative for CAA didn't immediately respond to a telephone message seeking comment Friday.

12:05 a.m.

An actress on "Transparent" says the show's star Jeffrey Tambor pressed his body against hers in a sexually aggressive manner during filming and made inappropriate and unwanted sexual statements.

Tambor denies the allegations saying he has "never been a predator — ever."

The actress, Trace Lysette, who is herself transgender, said in a statement to Deadline Thursday that Tambor trapped her and pressed his body against hers in a sexual way on the set of the Amazon show. Lysette urged Amazon in her statement to "remove the problem and let the show go on."

Amazon says it is adding the information to an investigation of Tambor it opened last week when his assistant made similar allegations.

Tambor said in a statement that he is sorry if any of his actions have been misinterpreted or hurt anyone.
