  15. Wisdom from George Carlin +++++++++ "Don't make the same mistake twice" seems to indicate three mistakes, doesn't it? First you make the mistake. Then you make the same mistake. Then you make the same mistake twice. If you simply say, 'Don't make the same mistake," you'll avoid the first mistake, won't you?" ++++++++++ It's a great country, but it's a strange culture. This has got to be the only country in the world that could ever come up with a disease like bulimia; gotta be the only country in the world where some people have no food at all, and other people eat a nourishing meal and throw it up intentionally. This is a country where tobacco kills four hundred thousand people a year, so they ban artificial sweeteners because a rat died. +++++++ This is a place where gun store owners are given a list of stolen credit cards, but not a list of criminals and maniacs. And now, they're thinking about banning toy guns - but they're gonna keep the real ones! ++++++ What's wrong with having a prison in your neighborhood? It seems to me like it would make it a pretty crime-free area, don't you think? You think a lot of crackheads and pimps and hookers and thieves are going to be hanging around in front of a freaking prison? Nope, they ain't coming anywhere near it! What's wrong with these people? All the criminals are locked up behind the walls, and if a couple of them do break out what do you think they're going to do, hang around? Check real-estate trends? No way, they're freaking gone! That's the whole idea of breaking out of prison: to get as far away as you possibly can. ++++++++ Next time you're at a wishing well ask to see the manager. Tell him you've been coming there for 10 years and none of your wishes have come true. Either you gimme my money back or I'm poopin' in the well!

  18. Gunshots give 'Repo Games' dose of reality By Mike Blasky LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL Posted: Apr. 26, 2011 | 10:08 a.m. You couldn't ask for a better plug for a new reality show. While filming in North Las Vegas on Monday night, the production crew of "Repo Games" was the target of an angry gunman who mistakenly thought his vehicle was being repossessed. The show debuted Tuesday night on Spike TV. North Las Vegas police Sgt. Tim Bedwell said no one was hurt in the incident, which began about 9:45 p.m. in the 2900 block of Vigilante Court, near Centennial Parkway and Losee Road. Bedwell said Carlos Enrique Barron, 40, stormed out of his home and got into a physical altercation with a crew member driving a production van. Barron told police he taught in the Clark County School District, Bedwell said. The Nevada Department of Education's website lists a Carlos E. Barron as a licensed teacher since July 2004. Officials with the Clark County School District could not be reached Tuesday afternoon to say at which school Barron taught. In Monday's incident, Barron's vehicle was not being repossessed. The crew actually was looking for another car on that street, Bedwell said. But Barron pulled a handgun on the crew and began firing, Bedwell said. Police said they believe some shots were fired at the crew and some were fired in the air. When officers arrived, Barron barricaded himself inside the home. Just after midnight Tuesday, he escaped through a back window and was taken down by police dogs. Barron was treated at North Vista Hospital for minor injuries. He was booked into the North Las Vegas jail on charges of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon and obstructing a police officer.

  20. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2011/04/on-location-going-mobile-in-hollywood-.html On Location: Going mobile in Hollywood Comments (2)(24) April 19, 2011 | 2:02 pm Hollywood production is going mobile. Two local technology companies, Sample Digital and Technicolor, have introduced applications that now allow production and studio executives to view “dailies” — scenes from movie and TV shoots — on their iPads. About 15 million iPads were sold last year and the computer tablets have become wildly popular among studio and production executives, who frequently bring them to creative meetings to take digital notes on screenplays, among other tasks. Seeking to tap into the demand, Los Angeles-based Sample Digital last week began selling an application that enables production executives to view and comment upon the day’s shoots, scripts, visual-effects shots and trailers directly on their iPads. The idea is to give harried studio executives around-the-clock access to the movies and shows under their watch. The company, which manages the digital workflow for more than 100 TV shows and films, spent six months developing the app. “We noticed that a lot of senior executives like the idea that they can walk around and begin to have access to content on the fly whether it’s in a boardroom or in a car or a hotel room,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, chief executive of Sample Digital. Viewing dailies on mobile phones is a far cry from the days when studio executives and directors would huddle in screening rooms to watch the daily reels, or “rushes,” and select which scenes to leave on the cutting-room floor. Until a few years ago, dailies from shoots were typically stored on DVDs and then shipped to various locations, a process that became more costly as production increasingly moved out of Hollywood and projects took on multiple financing partners. More recently, dailies are delivered online and accessible on PCs and laptops, which aren’t as easy to lug around as a tablet. “Everybody in the entertainment industry needs things immediately, and this is giving people what they want immediately," said Bobby Williams, vice president of postproduction for Lionsgate Television, which has been testing Sample Digital’s iPad application, called dax/Mobile. The studio plans to use the system on such productions as “Mad Men,” “Nurse Jackie” and “Boss,” the new Kelsey Grammer TV series that is shooting in Chicago. Once the day’s film or video shoots have been synchronized with audio and encoded for video streaming, a technician known as a data wrangler uploads the dailies onto the Sample Digital website. Approved customers tied to a given production connect to the site via their iPads, viewing a playlist of the day’s sequences. They are able to comment and select preferred “takes,” which are then passed along to an editor to assemble in a “rough cut” of the day’s shooting. The app costs only $4.99 on Apple’s iTunes store. But the real money for Sample Digital comes with the required subscription-based digital workflow system, which runs $1,250 to $2,000 per TV episode and up to $15,000 per movie. Customers must also pay a fee to encrypt the streaming video to prevent illegal copying. Technicolor also recently introduced an application that works with both the iPad and Android systems that gives its customers mobile access to dailies and other content. “Tablets have kind of taken over the world like a freight train," said Bob Hoffman, spokesman for the French-owned company, which has a large operation in Hollywood. “We’d see a lot of executives come to meetings with them and they’d all have an Android or an iPad," he said. “It was just an obvious move for us.” -- Richard Verrier

  22. Vacancy: Sound Recordist Employer: Beatrice Jauregui Location: Washington DC Duration: 1 day, starts 04/30 Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis. We need an experienced sound recordist to help with a documentary film shoot happening in Washington DC Saturday 30th April (and possibly the evening of 29th April, same location—details forthcoming). We will be shooting a memorial ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, so professional decorum, respectful discretion and sensitivity are a must. There may also be some production work (including interviews and conversation capture) at nearby hotels with participating veterans both before and after the ceremony.
