From the DNR

Before venturing out to campgrounds, trails and public water accesses statewide, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) advises people to check online or call ahead to avoid surprises.

“Winter weather is always a challenge to public water access,” said Nancy Stewart, DNR public access program coordinator. “Because of the late ice out this year, DNR crews have been unable to inspect and repair launch ramps or put the docks in at the DNR-operated public water access sites. We will get them ready as soon as possible, but we are at the mercy of Mother Nature right now.”

Meanwhile, at Minnesota state parks, the cold weather has kept water shut off and RV dump stations closed at many campgrounds.

“Winter conditions persist at Gooseberry Falls State Park and many other parks around the northland,” said Park Manager Audrey Butts. “We’ve had some folks arrive with camping reservations without knowing in advance what to expect – which has been unplowed roads and a foot of snow in their site.”

As for roads and trails, the DNR anticipates the need for temporary closures in state forests, state parks, recreation areas and wildlife management areas, due to wet conditions.

Road and trail conditions are deteriorating rapidly this spring, and many are not yet firm enough to support vehicle traffic without being damaged.

The temporary closures could remain in effect until sometime in May, depending on weather conditions.

For updates on lake ice out or conditions at specific state trails or state forest roads and trails, check the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov.

People can also call the DNR Information Center at (651) 296-6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays.

For conditions at state parks, check the visitor alerts on the individual park pages at www.mndnr.gov or call the parks directly.

DNR’s ‘PlayCleanGo’ program kicks-off new campaign to curb invasive species spread
From the DNR

Minnesota’s terrestrial (i.e. land-based) invasive species outreach program known as, “PlayCleanGo: Stop Invasive Species in Your Tracks,” is kicking off a new campaign, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said.

“The campaign aims to do two things: encourage outdoor recreation on Minnesota trails, parks and recreation sites, and to educate and create awareness among outdoor recreationists about terrestrial invasive species,” said Sue Burks, DNR’s forestry invasive species coordinator.

A variety of media, including handouts, social media, online advertising, email marketing and events will be used.

The program will also continue to partner with government agencies, community groups and retail stores to further educate the public.

Campaign themes include “Give Invasive Species the Brush Off.” and “Wipe ‘em Off. Wipe ‘em Out!”

“PlayCleanGo” encourages outdoor recreation such as off-highway vehicle riding, hiking, biking and horseback riding on Minnesota trails, parks and recreation sites, while following these simple steps to help stop the spread of terrestrial invasive species:

• Arrive with clean gear.
• Burn local or certified firewood.
• Use local or weed-free hay.
• Stay on the trails.
• Before leaving, remove mud and seeds.

The campaign was developed in response to the increased emergence of terrestrial invasive species, which are land-based plants, animals and micro-organisms that are not native to a particular area.

They are also species that are capable of causing severe damage in areas outside their normal range, harming the economy, the environment or human health once they become established.

The term “invasive” is reserved for the most aggressive nonnative species capable of changing site or living conditions for the worse where they establish.

According to Burks, a few of the common invasive species found on land include earthworms,

Canada thistle, common buckthorn, wild parsnip and the two fungal species that cause Dutch elm disease and oak wilt.

Emerald ash borer is a terrestrial invasive species relatively new to the state that has the public concerned about the health of their ash trees.

The program is a joint effort of interagency and community partners including the U.S. Forest Service, University of Minnesota Extension, Minnesota departments of Agriculture and Transportation, Explore Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Visit www.playcleango.org for more information on stopping the spread of terrestrial invasive species and how to become a partner.

DNR urges homeowners to resist pruning or removing conifers with red needles until late spring
From the DNR

Conifers growing in Minnesota have had a long, hard winter with plenty of opportunities for winter injury, according to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

By now, many people have noticed conifers full of brown and red needles, especially along highways.

People might have seen the conifers in their yards, or along buildings and driveways, are turning red or brown.

In spite of their appearance, people should not prune or remove the discolored trees.

Chances are good that the trees are alive and healthy beneath their mask of red needles.

Buds were well protected during the winter and will grow once spring arrives, said Jana Albers, DNR forest health specialist.

The most evident damage, caused by de-icing salts, occurred on white pines growing along highways.

This salty water settles on the pines and is absorbed into individual needles, killing them back starting at the tips.

Other damage to conifers can be caused by winter drying, or needle dehydration.

“Throughout the winter, each passing car sends up clouds of salty water,” Albers said. “Winter injury is also caused by strong, dry winds, many days of bright sunshine.” and low relative humidity that dries the needles

Some trees or groups of trees seem to get winter injury every year.

It is likely the trees are stressed due to poor site conditions.

Native tree populations are adapted to their location.

Moving seeds or seedlings 100 miles north or south of their site of origin can result in damage due to winter injury.

Prevention techniques:

• When selecting trees to plant, choose species that are adapted to local growing conditions.
• Avoid planting white and red pines, balsam fir and white spruce within 150 feet of a highway to prevent salt damage.
• Avoid planting yew and arbor vitae on south or southwest sides of buildings or in sunny and windy locations.
• Erect temporary barriers around conifers susceptible to winter burn. They can be made of plywood, burlap, tar paper or plastics.
• Just after the snow melts and prior to bud break, rinse de-icing salts off both conifers and hardwoods.
• Reduce or eliminate the use of de-icing salts.
• Replace trees that have severe winter injury year after year. They are not in the right location and will only decline due to needle and twig loss over a period of many years.
• Keep conifers properly watered throughout the growing season and fall. Decrease the watering slightly in September to encourage hardening off. Water thoroughly in October until freeze-up.

DNR reminds landowners to identify property lines prior to starting construction projects
From the DNR

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds homeowners and landowners living adjacent to state of Minnesota-owned lands to learn where their personal property lines are located before starting construction projects this spring.

State law prohibits construction on state land.

“Any type of residential construction, such as homes, garages, drain fields, septic tanks, driveways or additional out-buildings, prohibits the use of these lands by the rest of the public,” said Dave Schuller, DNR statewide lands coordinator.

If a construction project occurs on state-owned land, the landowner may be charged with trespass violations.

If there is construction on state lands, the project is generally removed and the land is restored at the private landowner’s expense.

To avoid this, the DNR urges people to do their homework before building near any publicly-owned land.

Homeowners should contact their local zoning office to make sure they are in compliance with any property line setbacks.

Those who suspect they may have already constructed buildings or encroached on lands owned by the state of Minnesota should contact a local DNR area office.

Question of the week
From the DNR

Q: Spring flooding season is fast approaching. How does the DNR monitor water levels in streams and rivers around the state?

A: The DNR operates more than 80 near real-time telemetry stream gages across the state that provide critical stream flow and level data to communities and agencies before and during floods.

Field crews are out all year maintaining these stations and more than 100 other stream gages, insuring the information will be available when needed.

The DNR maintains close contact with the National Weather Service and other agencies, coordinating and providing information not only during floods but during drought conditions as well.

St Patricks Day

Ok, I have decided I am definitely not the best blogger.  I love to try new recipes and see how they turn out, however after a full day at work, I am not always up to cooking while taking photos and then blog them.  I sometimes get halfway and make the food while taking photos then don't have the energy to actually do the blog, not very inspitring I know.

I did make some biscuits and cake for St Patricks day and since I did take photos of them I guess it's never too late to show you.
I am such a huge fan of the Red Velvet cakes I blogged last time that I used St Patricks day as an excuse to make green ones.  My friends at work (who are my tasting experts) were not at all impressed by bright green cakes.  They loved the red and purple ones, and the blue cream filled ones went down ok too, but they really drew the line at green ones.  Mind you they still ate them.  The photo doesn't really do it justice though, it was seriously bright green in natural light but I didn't really capture that in the photo.
I just bought myself a few new icing tips and wanted an excuse to try them out.  So I decided to make biscuits and ice them with a shamrock on top.  Then I decided to make it more difficult for myself.  I really felt like some chocolate chip biscuits and that thought led to why not ice the chocolate chip biscuits.  Yes great idea until I was icing them, and discovered a first attempt at icing should not be on a bumpy biscuit.  I think they turned out ok, but you can be the judge of that.

Chocolate Chip Biscuits

125g butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
½ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon bicarb
250g choc. bits
½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts

Cream together butter, sugars and vanilla.
Add egg and beat well.
Stir in sifted dry ingredients.
Fold in choc. bits and nuts.
Drop teaspoons of mixture onto a greased cookie tray.
Bake at 190 c for about 12 minutes.

1 comment:

  1. They look like shamrocks to me, ego, definitely not bad for a first attempt!

    (listen to me, sounding like I've actually done it myself, HA!)

johnny depp and terry gilliam on set Terry Gilliam on Dark Knight, Tintin and Transformers

Johnny Depp and Terry Gilliam on the set of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (Universal)

We’re still hearing a lot of response to our biggest article this week, “Terry Gilliam: The heir of Fellini and the enemy of God?,” but the story isn’t quite done yet.

Gilliam, the director of “Brazil” and “Twelve Monkeys,” is a man of fiery opinions and during our two interviews (covering three hours and spread over two days) he lobbed a few Molotov cocktails in different directions. So, with quotes that didn’t make it into that first article, we bring you the World According to Gilliam:

transformers dark of the moon Terry Gilliam on Dark Knight, Tintin and Transformers* On “Transformers: Dark of the Moon“: “The latest ‘Transformers’ movie was on the plane coming over to Los Angeles. It’s horrible and there’s all these phallic things going on. I just couldn’t even deal with it. C’mon, leave some room for me, as the audience. The audience is totally excluded, you just sit there and watch the explosions. I couldn’t tell you what the movie was about. A lot of the audience is happy not to get involved. They’ve been working some [awful] job all day long and you just want to go out to a movie. That’s fine, that’s great. But I prefer something that catches you off guard and makes you think and feel and walk out different from when you came in…with ‘Transformers,’ with the building falling down and everything, there are great images but how can people slide down a crashing building without consequence, without physics? It’s just numbing. The movie hammers the audience into submission. They are influenced by video games but in video games at least you are immersed, in these movies you’re left out. And in the movies, humans are only there to fall and run around and, somehow, go through windows without getting cut to shreds.”

* On Hollywood scores: “John Williams is a great musician but, wow, enough John. It isn’t his choice, of course, it’s the directors who allow him to take over a film and tell you exactly what you should be feeling every second of every minute of the film. I want people to come out with very different ideas of what the film is so they are real participants in the film as opposed to just paying observers. Most films now won’t let you in.”

* On “The Adventures of Tintin“: “I don’t want to pick on certain films but it’s opened in Europe and I’ve seen it and it’s also relentless. Unrelenting. Can you just slow down for a moment? There is no arc of the character for once, at least, it’s just, ‘Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, and now get ready for the sequel.’ Technically, it’s phenomenal. The chase scene is extraordinary but it’s strange that everyone is excited that it’s a single camera move but, um, it’s an animated film!  Big deal. I read one article that said that they had to put several Tintin stories in there to pack it out. But actually you didn’t. Just tell one and slow down a bit and let people breathe. I think there’s an insecurity because it’s not even a roller coaster anymore; because at least a roller coaster slows down at some point and has dips and tension.”

* On Steven Spielberg and James Cameron: “I always wanted to do more with the camera when I was younger. When I first started seeing stuff that Spielberg was doing I remember thinking, ‘God, how does he move the camera like that?’ That’s brilliant.’ And even Jim Cameron, too, I was so envious of that stuff. I know I can’t do it. I don’t have the money to do it. And I don’t actually quite have the skills. The closest I ever got was stealing the tracking shots from ‘Paths of Glory‘ for ‘Brazil.’ All those tracking shots of Kirk Douglas in the trenches, that’s where I got it from. Those were the most elaborate shots I ever did. My stuff is really old, classical [stuff]. There’s a wide shot, a mid-shot and a close. [Instead] it’s about using juxtaposition or you counter something and let the ironies float through. To me it’s always been about the ideas. It’s not the technical skill because I’ve been limited in that.”

dark knight poster Terry Gilliam on Dark Knight, Tintin and Transformers* On digital effects: “They are a Damocles sword. Any of this stuff you use is just a tool but there’s this rush now for photorealism and it bothers me. There’s so much overt fantasy now that I don’t watch a lot of the films because everything is possible now. There’s no tension there. Where’s the tension? Is it possible? Will you succeed? Will gravity take over? None of those things are part of the equation anymore. The denial of reality and consequence was fun when these movies began but now it’s been 20 years of this stuff. I keep waiting for the public to get fed up with it but then I worry that now it’s been here so long the audience is trained that this is what movies are meant to be.”

 * On Christopher Nolan and “The Dark Knight”: “The car chase stuff in ‘Dark Knight’ is a video game; it is shot-for-shot, as you would get it in a video game like Grand Theft Auto. He’s got a weird balance; he understands all of that — the energy of it — so he chooses to put it in there yet he’s also a very intelligent filmmaker who can do all sorts of things. He’s incredibly good. With ‘Inception,’ I wondered why all of the dreams were action movies. Don’t people have other dreams? And what’s interesting about the films are they are asexual. Maybe that’s the problem. Women can represent danger in them but no one seems to be having sex in these movies. In society overall, we have all this porn, 24 hours a day, so everyone can [masturbate] but I wonder is anyone having real sex anymore? I ask myself these questions.”

    Gilliam isn't that great a filmaker. Tideland SUCKS and so does Mr. Parnassus

    • fstone says:

      Sometimes i want to see a movie that makes me think, and sometimes i want to see a movie that doesn’t make me have to think. To be fair, Terry is naming kids movies. Kids, dont think of things like gravity, and all that. Kids have short attention spans, so there always needs to be action happening.

      • Rich says:

        Enjoyed both those films and think Tideland is a masterpiece. Obviously we can all have different opinions, but you seem to be under the illusion your own opinions are facts.

  2. Ant says:

    I think it’s great to have true veterans opinions about what they are spoon feeding us in the movies now. I used to love nothing more than to go to a movie. Now I can hardly sit through an entire film. There is no emotion at all. Kind of like poker with fake money, every other idiot is all in and why not? Now Ill admit that if done properly, using all the latest tech, it can be a worthwhile outing, like Avatar on Imax. Avatar just thrilled me and made me smile the entire time, very fresh no matter how old the story might have been. However, as Gilliam suggests, these skills and or expensive cameras are not available to everyone and a lot of the films are trying to mimic the sensation of something like Avatar with poor writing and no tech, and failing miserably. As far as film scores

  3. Staldo says:

    A psychedelic transformers movie directed by Terry Gilliam would kick so much ass. I agree there is way too much setting up for sequels. The Golden Compass was an incomprehensible mess of a movie because of it.

  4. dwake says:

    Sean, get mad. You probably love Transformers.

  5. Richard says:

    He makes some valid points.

    Good to get a top director being honest and not just being political.

    Tintin was unrelenting. Transformers 3 did spoon feed you into mindless apathy. Nolan's films are too clinical and a little sexless. John Williams has regressed.

    Most modern films are just edited too fast these days. The best films were made in the 70's when there was time for characters and not just dense plot.

    • Jae says:

      Its funny how people say "the ole days." There were alot of things that happened in "the ole days" that is not good anymore. Medicine has advanced, more opportunities for women and minorities. Of course there are pros and cons of the things between then and now. I saw the 1980's version of Man on Fire. Boring as hell. The 2003 version was ten times better. I wish people would stop hanging on to the past and start looking through the wind shield.

  6. stephen says:

    Your the tool, not everyone needs to agree with the loving fanboys that drool over terrible films that focus on style rather than substance. It's called an opinion, and he makes some good points.

  7. MR. says:

    I actually agree with him on everything. If you can do anything with special effects, the only limit is creativity, and it seems that it is becoming hard to do something with CGI besides SPECTACULAR BULLSHIT, instead of story integrated visuals to engage and involve an audience.

  8. WilWa says:

    He is absolutely, 100%, correct.

  9. Colonel Mustard says:

    Gilliam is a good film maker, but I disagree with a LOT of what he's said here.
    Doesn't like Transformers because it's a fast paced action movie. Well, why would someone like Terry Gilliam even watch Transformers. It's clearly not his type of movie.
    Doesn't understand why Inception's dreams are all action movies? It's because it IS an action movie! You dope!

    Not everyone has a deranged artistic mind like you, Mr Gilliam.

  10. fvddfdgd says:

    somebody should shut your mouth!!! pay some respect.

  11. Sue says:

    I think Terry's comments are refreshing and I agree with several of them. Different strokes for different folks.

  12. Evan says:

    I think he's been in the industry long enough to have these opinions. harsh as they were they were actually well formed, unlike a comment just saying for him to shut up and go back to the grind-stone. his movie's aren't nearly as popular or as well received as the directors he calls out, but his ideas are very interesting and with stronger backing and more confidence they could be just as good if not better than most of the movies that are currently at the top.

  13. Jack says:

    What part do you object to? Someone having an inside view of film making and voicing it about people that are idolized? Or that you don't consider his movies that great. Essentially you are saying he can't have an opinion because you didn't like 12 Monkeys…

    As for the actual interview, it's nice to see someone willing to actually say what they think. He is quick to admit that he's not a technically skilled director, so his feelings will obviously differ. His points about lack of immersion and movies just bludgeoning audiences is an astute one. Used to be that the occassional movie would be unrelenting and it would be intentional, but even movies that were trying to make a point, like Law Abiding Citizen a year or two ago, fail because they push action over substance…

  14. john says:

    though gilliam's movies have been declining in interest for me over the past decade, i see that his mind is as sharp as ever. he's 100 percent right on all points here, and the truth is hurting poor sean.

  15. mortimer says:

    gilliam's the perfect man to take on the flaws of the hallowed Inception. namely, why did all those dreams have such precise logic? nothing i've ever dreamt had any logic at all. dreams are a creation of the irrational mind, the subconscious. it does not have a precise clock, or a consistent set of symbolic imagery. it is chaos. dreams are a wonderful playground for a filmmaker like Fellini or Gilliam to explore. I thought Nolan fell flat on his logical face with that one.

  16. batty says:

    i wish you'd discussed Blade Runner with Gilliam. I've heard he loathes that film, which most of the world considers a classic. I would love to hear what he considers are its flaws…

  17. Rick says:

    Spot on Terry, Spot on.

  18. McGuiver says:

    I like him, but calling out John Williams? Really? John Williams?

    He's made some thoughtful movies, but what I think he fails to realize is that sometimes its more powerful when the movie isn't so ambiguous. When it just says "this is what I have to say".

    Don't get me wrong, I like Gilliam a lot. But there has to be both kinds of films. He's starting to sound jealous of the massive success of some of his contemporaries.

  19. ollie says:

    Just shut up? They asked him these questions mate, and he clearly knows not all movies are for everyone he described an understanding of how people would find these movies appealing and followed up with explaining and he doesn't and this is why.

  20. Tony says:

    I personally agree with Gilliam some what, I do like these movies that he's bad mouthing though I mean they have there place in entertainment but I mean Inception could have been better if there hadn't been such an obsession on the action in the movie and it needed a better ending. But I don't feel there's enough quality drama's coming out anymore and I mean stuff like Forest Gump or what dreams may come, or a good suspense movie like the usual suspects. there is stuff like that coming out for sure the king's speech for example, but what else? Even though I like these movies I think even with all their CGI and extreme situations they don't hold up to more realistic style action I mean die hard was awesome because of that, real explosions and a man in a difficult situation getting tired and bleeding but pulling through I mean look at the matrix movies the first was great! second and third sucked! Because they got too heavy in the CGI and pulled away from the story plot too much.

  21. the mook says:

    actually, as a highly critically acclaimed professional he is the only person in a position to judge his peers, you mate are one of the nets many faceless idiots. get a life before you try and take down a legend, seriously, sean 'i'm an internet loser and i'm 12' going up against this legend? don't make me laugh.

  22. Joe says:

    Yeah Gilliam! How dare you have an opinion that does not match my own and then have the audacity to voice that opinion during an interview in which you are asked to give it! The sheer nerve.

  23. Doop says:

    It's called being passionate about something, tool.

  24. Strolden Polliche says:

    What was the last film you made? Gilliam is an unequalled master of cinema, an artist with inimitable style
    and passion. His opinions may differ from your own, but really, who are you? Nobody.

  25. David says:

    Ive read interviews with him before and he always sounds bitter about this and that id go out on a limb here and say his bitter about his lack of talent he dose have and anyway would Chris Nolan or any of the names above say anthing of a negative nature about his films having said that they would have good reason too his films are aften messy and contrived and at times make no sense i mean The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus comes to mind and whats with bagging out John Williams okay you might not like his scores but why go out of your way to publically criticise a legend of cinema maby to bring him down to his bitter level who knows his a doosh.

    • Kenny says:

      …it’s called PUNCTUATION. Ever wonder why all of those little “funny spots and stuff” are always on your computer and your phone? Look into it…

    • MeMeMe says:

      Wow. You managed a full stop at the end there. Bravo. I'm guessing you in the unrelenting audience bludgeoning camp.

      • Sartre says:

        Just saying, He's been very unlucky with his production, so his films get quite messy because like for example, Ledger died in the Middle of Production you see…

  26. Mark says:

    I actually agree with a lot of his points. Especially that of Transformers 3 "hammering the audience into submission" with it's unrelenting, irrelevant and nonsensical action scenes. Gilliam has a load of great ideas for film, unfortunately his best effort of late has been The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, which wasn't very good, at all. 12 Monkeys is amazing, Brazil is even better.

    I wouldn't say he was a 'ridiculous idiot'. He's speaking on what he believes film (as a medium) is. Not all movies are for everyone, but people are entitled to their own opinion on them, especially if you are one of Hollywood's most experienced directors with several massively celebrated films under your belt.

  27. Burnett says:

    Wow! Just to think that there was a stage in his career when Gilliam said he would never talk s— about other filmmakers (he mentioned it in a 2006 article for Empire magazine). I find his comments about Nolan to be strange, too, because Gilliam’s films are highly asexual. Sometimes, they are emotional and romantic (12 Monkeys), but he seems to view sexuality in a cartoonish and garish manner, failing to commit to the seriousness of the feeling/emotion. Just compare the work of Gilliam and Bruce Robinson in adapting the work of Hunter S. Thompson to the screen. Whereas Robinson seems unafraid with tackling sexuality, Gilliam views it in an infantile and childish manner. In fact, the only film that seems to deal with sexuality in an overt manner is Tideland, in which the girl and an older, disturbed man is heavily sexualised.

    Anyone that slams michael bay gets brownie points! Transformers is just an awful awful film

  29. carlos says:

    he should have more respect. in 60 years people will remember j. williams and his contribution to cinema, as well as spielberg. not that much with him

  30. komododgarg0n says:

    Twelve Monkeys, the Fisher King, Brazil, Time Bandits, Monty Python – not gonna be remembered? Really? Really???

    I may not be impressed with his recent stuff but I think it's great a filmmaker actually has an opinion instead of sucking up all the time like so many others do.

  31. Dan says:

    I understand his bitterness: these movies are keeping him from directing anymore and he's frustrated. I get it. Do I agree with him? I probably would about Transformers, but as for Spielberg and Williams? Nah. If it weren't for that duo, I wouldn't give two shakes about Terry Gilliam, because I wouldn't appreciate film nearly as much.

    It's really sad, because I'd watch every movie Terry Gilliam could make and not be easily disappointed, though it'd be surprising if he ever made one again. I really enjoyed Dr. Parnassus, even though I was the only person at the showing I attended. But that's part of the appeal. I definitely think he's underrated and given the resources, he could pound out a pretty fine film. It wouldn't be for everyone, but it would be great for film geeks and his fans. I would like to see more movies that aren't so predictable and stupid. Movies that take risks. I think the way to go is just to try and make those on the indie circuit and just let the response do the talking. Occupy Hollywood!

  32. Darkhawk says:

    I tend to agree with Mr. Gilliam's sentiments, even if his own work hardly stands up for them. He has truly made some very good films – 12 Monkeys, Munchausen, Time Bandits, and (the only really great one) Fisher King among them – but this does not change the fact that he gave in to his wilder (and worse) tendencies many decades ago. Garbage like Parnassus is filled with CG anyway, so not sure what his point was there. Nevertheless, even a Michael Bay Transformers film is a less offensive audio-visual assault than s*** like Parnasses, Tideland, Grimm, and the list goes on.

  33. Gorriate says:

    I confess I do not like much some films made by Mr Gilliam. Moreover, I can admit that none of his films is possibly perfect. But, anyway, he is the most inusual, fresh, bold, valiant and intelligent fantasy film creator I can remember. His fantasy films tell simple stories in many complex and different levels, so I understand perfectly his dislike for plain stories with a host of special effects. I also understand that many people may not enjoy Gilliam films. But, lads, his opinion counts and he deserves some respect. So, opinions about his job may be destructive if you wish, but not about the man.

    I agree with him in many points. Williams is an immense composer, but it is true that his music is used to tell the audience what to feel in every moment. And flat plots and characters are so common in movies today, that many old movie watchers -like myself- are simply tired of movies.

  35. Ben says:

    Way to hit it on the head Gilliam. Personally, there is not a single Gilliam movie I don't get immersed in and find myself thinking about what's going to happen next while wondering what just happened at the same time. He perfectly capture's emotion in movies and his "Gilliam-esque" style of film-making often reminds me of what it's like to be a child. I can't stand any movies anymore because there is no Originallity. By far my favorite director, and will continue to impress me as long as he continues to make films.

  36. Jon C says:

    "Working some awful job and they just want to see a movie…" hits the nail in the head! I had enough of "The Transformers" after the first movie, then again I enjoyed the hell out of "The Green Lantern," so what do I know?!

  37. Ron says:

    Just sounds bitter to me…seriously. Chris Nolan's rise over the last decade has been the most refreshing thing to happen to cinema in a while. He doesn't take his audiences for total idiots. If Terry knew anything about Herge's comics he'd know how Tintin is adventure after adventure and should be treated as such. Calling it relentless is way off the mark. Spielberg gave it the proper treatment. He's right about the Transformers films though…totally mind numbing.

  38. Arye MIchael Bender says:

    Terry Gilliam first earned my respect as a Python. His films continue to be amazing explorations of the nature of what we call reality, with an unequalled eye for quirky detail and dark irony. His critique of an emptiness at the core of many films is spot on. And he got right to the heart of what went wrong with 'Inception'. Please, keep making brilliant films Mr. Gilliam!

  39. Mark H says:

    I laugh whenever I hear anyone rubbish Transformers the film for being too loud, brainless or fast. It's a film based on a toy range. Have you seen kids play with toys? BASH! BASH! EEEYYYOOOWWW!!!! DAKKADAKKADAKKA!!KABOOMMM!!! I think Bay has done a BRILLIANT job of realising the sandpit battles of a 4 year old. It's spectacle like a firework display. Trying to make sense of it, to reason with it is a waste of your time and ours. Just go OHHHHHH!!!! and WEEEE!!! like a child and you'll get it.

  40. billy says:

    Gilliam's reach exceeds his grasp … which can be a good thing or a disaster. I like that he takes chances and he's the kind of person that doesn't mind pissing off his peers.

  41. JLR says:

    Terry, I like your movies but just give it up already.

  42. WHATUP says:

    This is the third transformers movie and your still looking for all that, dude look some where else thats not what transformers is all about everyone compaints but they still go to the thearter to watch them, seat down and read a review before you take your butt over to a movie thearter or carrie an ipad like I do or any tablet or laptop on the plane so you can watch something else just in case. COME ON THIRD TRANSFORMERS MICHAEL BAY STOP LOOKING FOR MORE take them for what they are just good fun, giant robots and explosion and as a man I LOVE IT…….

  43. heytommyallen says:

    Ah, 'tis good to read Terry saying what's right. Glad to see he can make comment and someone else will print it…. but that's Hollywood on the negative (yuck-yuck). Now please, will someone give this genius some money so we can have the opportunity put to trash his shit? The world would benefit from trusting in Jesus, I mean Terry.

  44. Roberto Carvalho says:

    About Inception, well you point the asexuality as a flaw in the movie, but I would consider the exposure of a sexual repression to be the main creator of the movie's conflict. The dreams are made by dreams architects and the action is presented as a response to intruders. In solitary dreams people would have normal sexual dreams but in the movie there is always an intruder modifying it towards some specific purposes. I enjoy the many less-tighten ways of conceiving dreams in movies, like yours, but for me the point made by Inception is also valid and express in many ways the paradoxical repression that happen in times of sex bombarded in different themes by the Media in general. You can masturbate but it's not the same, you know..

  45. Jeff Thurman says:

    I agree with Gilliam about Williams. One of the problems with Spielberg films is they all sound the same; Williams is stuck in a Spielberg rut of self importance. The one time Spielberg didn't use Williams was in 1982. Jerry Goldsmith was brought in to score "Poltergeist" and a classic score was born.

  46. Peter Briggs says:

    I want to take issue with Terry Gilliam speaking about his own camerawork.

    Terry: you’re nuts. I’m about to start making a movie, and several times I’ve referenced that “I want this to look like Shot X that Gilliam did in blah, blah, blah…”

    You’re far more inspirational than you imagine, sir. The phrase “Gilliam-esque” conjures up magic in a trice.

  47. estebee says:

    totally agree with him, valid points! nice perspective!

  48. chris b. says:

    Good interview. Provocative comments by Gilliam. He makes a lot of cogent points about how FX and explosions and cardboard characters make for awful movies, and Transformers represents that formula taken to the Nth degree of schlock. That said, dissing people like John Williams is tacky . I think a lot of Wiliams' stuff is too syrupy, but some of his earlier themes — Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones — are Hall of Fame soundtracks. I guess my other reaction is that Terry needs to worry more about his own filmmaking. He's made a lot bad movies. I rented Time Bandits a few months ago for my kids and it was utterly unwatchable. My view is that Fisher King was the last good film he made — it had narrative power and award-winning performances based on compelling characters — but that was more than two decades ago. What happened, Terry?

  49. Ian Schultz says:

    Gilliam loves Blade Runner

  50. Jason says:

    I agree with a lot of what he said, but particularly the part about the musical score. I've noticed that for years, because I love watching older black and white movies. In older movies the music wasn't in your face every freakin' second of the movie. There are actually long stretches where there is no music at all, and this gives the scene time to breathe and the audience a chance to really sink into it and feel however they are meant to feel. Keep the music out of it!

  51. Barra says:

    At least nolan will NEVER direct shitty movies the grimm brothers

  52. Sophie says:

    It's interesting that he picked up on the "sexlessness" of Nolan's films. That's something I actually appreciate about them. Mainstream Hollywood films frame sex in a certain way, and I'm sorry, but they hammer it in your head. I personally think that Nolan is concerned about issues that may be a little deeper than sex. He doesn't have time for it, similar a bit to Terrence Malick, though the two of them are VERY different filmmakers obviously. But Inception was overblown in my opinion

  53. Stewart McAlister says:

    Mr Gilliam's work has spanned decades, fads, tastes and further he has survived all this time in an industry which, to the casual observer, seems often determined to prevent him from ever working again. The sheer amount of work produced by this gentleman over the years is testament to the determination required to succeed in an industry dominated by financial models and how well one fairs in a media driven popularity contest. Thankfully it is still possible to see genuine originality with a hint of a decent budget from time to time; storytelling for the sheer hell of it. Long may he continue to make original work and inspire others to do so. It may not always be to my personal taste, but a world without his vision of cinema would be a duller world indeed. As to those complaining with regard to his criticisms of other film makers, I thought that freedom of speech was one of those All American inventions. Oh…. Wait a minute…….

  54. bondjamesbond says:

    Cronenberg, now Gilliam have spoken up about these types of films/filmmakers and just how overated they are. For those of you who say these two aren't good filmmakers, you're so very wrong.

Since coming into existence online casinos have made quite the splash. For the most part people are no longer held back by the boundaries of where they live and the laws that govern the area.

There are however several things that one needs to look for when they are seeking out the online casino of their choosing.

Some only focus on one or two games, and some offer other games. Whichever you want to play, search around to find the best for your needs.
[url=http://www.redlotuscasino.com]online casino[/url] http://www.redlotuscasino.com casino Gambling is not without risk, though. As with anything on the internet, there may be scam sites.

Spring in the Arctic

Spring, in the Arctic means playtime to the locals. Each day brings more daylight, warmer temperatures and more trails that are open and maintained. Hence, this is the time of the year when Finns living in the south come north to play and to ski.

Some might argue that the landscape isn't as spectacular in spring as it is in the midst of winter since the sun melts the snow from the trees and you no longer have the 'fairy-tale' feel. However, this is probably more than compensated for by the warmer days (generally -5 to -15C, even though the nights might still be very cold) and increased daylight hours.

However, daytimes tend to bring much warmer temperatures and you may need to take off your outer layers in order to be comfortable whilst active. This is a great time of year, therefore, for the multiday safaris - particularly for those who don't want so much of an extreme adventure. Families hoping to participate in longer safaris with children, for instance, are encouraged to wait until late Spring when there is a more relaxed pace and plenty of time in the evenings to tell stories, play with the dogs, sauna and recap the day.

It is safe to say that we will be mushing, with clients, through the end of April and it is fairly safe to say that we can keep the shorter trails open until at least mid-May. Very occassionally, we are still skiing on frozen lakes at the end of June. However, this is not something that can be counted upon.

At the end of the season we have a second transition period (generally from mid April through the first week of May) when we tend to have fewer clients but those that do come can still take part in very intensive training sessions. At this time of year the dogs are fit and the guides experienced enough to really play with whatever conditions are out there. Sometimes they are great, still, and we train all day on sleighs. Sometimes they are icy and we may have to quit training for a few days at a time for the safety of the dogs and at one point the snow melts but the temperatures are still cold enough for the dogs to run. Hence, when the snow finally goes at some point in May and the lakes thaw, we bring the quadbikes back out and fine-tune running skills for older dogs by training things like GEE and HAW whilst at the same time giving the newest pups their first chance to train before the warm summer days dictate that it is time for a well-earned holiday.

More information can be found, here, about the husky guiding camp which we run, annually and farm activities and tours which are possible year-round, and summer activities like kayaking may also be possible depending on the temperature. Information about other autumn activities availabile in Enontekiö as a whole can be found from the location section which goes into a lot of detail about the wilderness areas, national parks and hiking trails that you might like to explore. NB: Late August to early October are arguably the best times of year here for hiking and biking and you will be amazed by the autumn colours which sweep the landscape from east to west.

In spring, local entrepreneurs organise Hetta Snow Adventure Week and Ice Fishing Contests. Kilpisjärvi, in the western ‘arm’ of Enontekio, attracts many spring tourists for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling (particularly for Norwegians). Guided trips are arranged by accommodation sites, and Kilspisjärvi also boasts its own Snow Adventure Week Program. Many tourists ski to the Three Countries Border Marker, visit Siilastupa Information Point or explore the regions many nature trails.

Soon after this time, the snow goes - usually within a period of two weeks - and we are into the end days of spring. These are cool, crisp and fresh and it is genuinely a nice time to be in the Arctic.

Review: Lenovo Legion Y520

by Parm Mann on 11 July 2017, 16:30

Tags: Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), Lenovo (HKG:0992)

Quick Link:

Add to My Vault: x

The PC gaming market was reported to have been worth a cool $36 billion in 2016, and the biggest names in the industry are lining up to take their slice of the pie. They don't come much bigger than Lenovo, who in recent years has injected new life into its growing gaming portfolio, culminating with the launch of the Legion Y520 and Y720 laptops back at CES..

Both systems have now filtered through to UK retail, and we've been able to spend some quality time with the more affordable Legion Y520.

Priced from £950 and outfitted with latest-generation processor technology from both Intel and Nvidia, the Legion Y520 promises mainstream gaming performance in a portable form factor from a well-known brand. The sub-£1,000 price point is key, as Lenovo will battle against the likes of the Asus ROG Strix GL753VD and the Acer Aspire VX 15 in this crucial market segment.

First impressions are favourable. The Legion Y520 measures 25.8mm thick and weighs 2.5kg, making it a reasonably sleek gaming solution, and though Lenovo hasn't been able to resist the red-and-black cliché, the patterned lid looks surprisingly stylish. The display bezels are somewhat large, as is the case with most gaming laptops, yet Lenovo's overall build quality is good and the paintwork does a decent job of repelling fingerprints.

What's more troublesome is UK availability. Over in the States customers can visit and choose from a range of five models, priced from as little as $780. Our friends across the pond have plenty of choice at competitive price points - including an option for meatier GeForce GTX 1060 graphics - but in contrast the Legion Y520 homepage for the UK simply states that "there are no models available at this time."

You can buy a £949 model armed with a Core i5-7300HQ processor and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics from Currys, but our review sample is strangely outfitted with a more powerful Core i7-7700HQ processor and less powerful GeForce GTX 1050 graphics. This particular configuration feels a tad lopsided and is scheduled to be available later this month from John Lewis and Very at a cost of £999.

If you can find a model that tickles your fancy, the Legion Y520 is the sort of gaming laptop that doubles as an effective everyday workhorse. Lenovo has plenty of experience in making quality keyboards, and that knowledge is in evidence here as the Y520's chiclet implementation is among the best we've seen in a gaming solution at this price point. The keys are well-spaced, there's 1.7mm of travel, the layout is mostly logical and it feels comfortable from the get-go. If there's a caveat it's that the red backlight is somewhat garish, and the sunken shape of the accompanying trackpad takes some getting used to.

There aren't any surprises to be found in the rest of the specification, with Lenovo choosing to pair the Core i7 processor and GTX 1050 graphics with 8GB of DDR4 memory (in a single-channel configuration), a small 128GB Samsung M.2 SSD and a 1TB hard disk for secondary storage. The 15.6in IPS display is provided by AU Optronics and offers an ubiquitous full-HD 1,920x1,080 resolution, and Nvidia Optimus technology is at hand to switch between the Intel HD 630 IGP and dedicated GeForce GPU as and when needed. Don't expect class-leading battery life, however, as Lenovo equips the Legion Y520 with a relatively small 45Wh battery.

After a couple of days' use you begin to appreciate some of the finer details. The display hinge is nice and rigid, the rubberised feet keep the laptop well planted, upward-firing stereo speakers provide a satisfying punch and I/O options are comprehensive. Legion Y520's left side is home to a power connector, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 and an audio jack, while over on the right side you'll find HDMI, a pair of USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader and USB 3.0 Type-C.

Fan noise is kept to a minimum for most tasks other than gaming, and McAfee LiveSafe is the only obvious piece of nagware on an otherwise clean installation of Windows 10. The Y520 is shaping up to be an enjoyable machine, but it will need to offer a level of performance befitting the £999 price tag so let's see what the benchmarks have to say.

Latest figures show the gap between the rural rich and urban poor in Lancashire carries on widening

Latest figures show the gap between the rural rich and urban poor in Lancashire carries on widening. Whilst the rural rich have seen their incomes in absolute terms rise throughout the recession, and incredibly rise faster in the depths of the recession, incomes in poor urban areas have only stopped falling and are now flatlining.

The gap now between urban poor and rural rich has made rural areas inaccessible to many people poor people in urban areas looking for a better lifestyle.
The unemployment tables - a bit crude at constituency level - show that unemployment in rural areas is very low. So how is rural broadband going to generate jobs in a low unemployment area? Green belt and severe local restrictions on any development, be it housing, employment or infrastructure make job creation in these idyllic rural areas very difficult.
Who is going to want to or accept, an arctic lorry travelling down narrow country lanes? Which businessman coming home late in the evening from work in urban east Lancashire is going to want to start another business in his garage or bedroom? How many retirees will want to begin over again making money and employing people?

This follows last weeks GP tables for East Lancashire which I published showing the best GP services were to be found in rural areas and poorest GP services in urban areas, notably my constituency Hyndburn.

All this comes on the back of the Radio 4 discussion on the taxpayer and Lancashire council tax payer subsidy of £32million in a austere times to replace broadband with super fast broadband in rural Lancashire. Questions remain as to the economic advantages the latter will make.

Some of the urban constituencies in Lancashire have had to face some for the deepest cuts in central government funding despite being some of the most deprived with serious social and economic issues.
Great Harwood lost its household recycling centre, one of four such centres closed as part of Lancashire County Council cost cutting. The many thousands who objected to this now are seeing those savings pumped into a £32million rural broadband scheme. It is easy to see why people in parts of Lancashire doubt the rationale of the scheme.
During the Radio 4 debate Rory Stewart MP (Con) from Cumbria said that in his opinion rural people in Lancashire are poor too and struggle to access decent health care services in Lancashire. Evidentially this is wholly incorrect.

The debate has caused a storm with people from as far as Norfolk and Somerset upset at my comments suggesting poor people live in urban areas in Lancashire and rich people live in rural areas arguing that this is not the case where they live. People in East Lancashire have commented that the comments I made were correct and that it is difficult to see what £32million is adding in terms of employment, healthcare etc...

Clearly Norfolk and Somerset are the inverse to Lancashire in terms of need between urban and rural and extending the debate to those areas is beyond anything I said and unfair.

Moaning [LP]

  • 廠牌：Sub Pop
  • 規格：LP

Moaning is a band defined by its duality. The abrasive post-punk trio comprised of LA DIY veterans, Sean Solomon, Pascal Stevenson, and Andrew MacKelvie, began nearly a decade after the three started playing music together. Their impassioned debut album comes born out of the member's experiences with love and distress, creating a sound uniquely dark and sincere. Although the band is just breaking out of their infancy, Moaning's sleek and cavernous tone emphasizes the turmoil of the era they were born into. One where the endless possibility for art and creation is met with the fear and doubt of an uncertain future.

Solomon, Stevenson, and MacKelvie initially met as teenagers while growing up in the San Fernando Valley, and immediately developed a kinship through Los Angeles’s local music scene. The three began regularly frequenting DIY institutions like The Smell and Pehrspace, eventually selling out dozens of their own shows at both venues with their first few bands. Moaning's conception came when Solomon sent Stevenson and MacKelvie the first demo for "Don't Go," setting the tone for the impulsive songwriting that would follow. The three fleshed out Solomon's primitive recordings, adding in MacKelvie's heavy syncopated drumming, and Stevenson's melodic driving bass and synth parts, capturing each member's personality in their sparse and fuzzed out tracks. Like many of their previous collaborative projects, Moaning forces pain up against pleasure, using the complexity of personal heart break to inform the band’s conflicted sound. The band chose the moniker Moaning, admiring the ambiguity the name held, and hoping to reference both an intimate wail and an anguished scream.

The band's homemade video for an early, home-recorded version of "The Same" caught the attention of Alex Newport, a seasoned engineer and producer who had previously worked with At The Drive-In, Bloc Party, and the Melvins. With Newport, Moaning began working on the tracks that would make up their self-titled release, employing a lush, open ended production quality that had never been at the band's disposal. Tracks like "Artificial" stand out among the recordings, where Moaning used the studio's recourses to take their frantic live arrangement and give it the intensity merited by Solomon's lyrics.

As a whole, Moaning drifts from sentimental to catastrophic, hiding meek and introspective lyrics within powerful droning dance songs, giving sonic nods to some of the band’s musical heroes like, New Order, Broadcast, and Slowdive. The band's youthful attitude is met with the weight of topics like loss, routine, and mental health, reflecting the anxiety towards the status quo that much of their generation faces today. Where many young bands take years to find their footing as writers and performers, Moaning has built up a confidence in sound and vision from the ten years of playing basements, bars, and ballrooms together in their previous projects. Yet, even with their polished exterior, Moaning continues to make the sacrifice of deeply personal anecdotes and emotions to their audience for the benefit of their craft.

OXFORD SPEEDWAY.  Return to NZ Speedways.

   Oxford Speedway runs once a month right throughout the year on about the third Sunday of every month and is located on Carleton Road, Oxford (off South Eyre Road).  It is signposted from the Tram Road turnoff from the Northern Motorway.  Advertising for events and dates is in the Christchurch Buy Sell and Exchange on the Friday before racing.  Racing starts at 11am with the gates opening at 8am.

Visit their web site

OXFORD SPEEDWAY HISTORY  (Between Rangiora and Christchurch)
Oxford Speedway Inc started its life in 1979 as the Oxford Motor Club with the aim of running during the winter months when the likes of Woodford Glen were not racing.  It was established on farm land owned by the Crawford family where it sits to this day.
   The original opening date of the 9th February 1979 was postponed due to weather however despite the threat of another rain off, the Oxford Motor Club was officially opened by the Chairman of the Oxford City Council, Mr B Erikson on the 22nd July 1979.  Highlights of the day included a helicopter display with a lolly scramble dropped from the helicopter.
   Fourteen races were held during that first meeting including Ladies races, C Grade Saloons, Go Karts, Mini Stocks (although probably not the Ministocks that we know of today!), D Grade Saloons and Fender Benders.   The price of admission to the track was $1.50 for adults and children under 15 free.
   In 1995 the club closed for five months to allow for major alterations to be made.  Along with the building of a new office building and control tower, the track was changed from a North/South direction to an East/West direction and from a length of 350m to 420m.  On the 21st October 1995 the new track was opened in conjunction with the club's North Canterbury Championships.  A double decker bus was used to transport spectators to the track.
   In 2000 a new control tower and office building was constructed which provided additional needed space in the office, on the referees stand and upstairs for the commentator and lap scorers.
   Some of the interesting events held by Oxford Speedway over the years include a 4x4 Saloon Event featuring Warwick Leech & Colin Cameron Vs Mark Bradford and Peter Edmonds, Lawnmower Racing, a lolly scramble from a Tiger Moth plane,  a race between a team from Oxford Speedway and Radio Avon, celebrity Mini Stock Races and Streetstock/Fender Bender Soccer.  The club also regularly holds demolition derbys and 40 Lap Streetcar races.  Santa also makes a regular appearance at the Fun Day in December for the kids.
   Grades run by the club include A Grade Saloons, B Grade Saloons, C Grade Saloons, Hobby Saloons, Youth Hobbies, Streetstocks, Fender Benders, Ministocks, Youth Ministocks, Stockcars and Ladies Saloons.  Grades run for club points and trophies for the highest points in each grade are presented in December at the clubs Fun Day meeting.
   Regular yearly features held by Oxford Speedway include the Oxford Speedway South Island Champs at Easter, Oxford Speedway NZ Youth Ministock Champs in July and the North Canterbury Champs over Labour Weekend.
   Entry is $8 for adults and children under 15 are free when accompanied by an adult.  Programmes are available at the gate for $2.  A souvenir stand is also in place along the front straight which sells T-shirts, pens, lighters, drinks and ice creams.

Review of Hack Education

Audrey Watters is an education technology writer who maintains the blog Hack Education. Her articles have appeared on Mindshift, Inside Higher Ed, The School Library Journal, The Atlantic, and more (Hack Education, 2013.) In her own words, Hack Education is blog that is “smart and snarky, one that’s free of advertising and investor influence…, one that’s tracking new technologies but not just because of some hyperbolic ‘revolution.’” (Hack Education, 2013.)

This blog is intended for everyone interested in how technology relates to the classroom, teaching, and learning.

Watters has followed tech-ed trends for the past few years; the 2013 and 2012 lists are displayed on the front page of the blog. These include MOOCS (on both years’ lists) and Anti-MOOCS, the Maker and Learning to Code Movements (both years). Added to the 2013 trends list are standards and standardization; data, privacy, and “personalization”, and; the rise (and fall) of startups.

MOOCs have blown up across the globe, especially within the last year. A quick search of articles on The Chronicle of Higher Education online for “MOOC” returns 441 results, 331 from within the past year, and the first of which is about MOOCs in France. Watters reports on articles from every side of the MOOC debate – the pro- and anti- and ambivalent. The latest post on the blog also deals with MOOCs, reassuring us that they are not, in fact, dead, but may be moving in the direction of corporate training.

Another 2013 is Standardization. Watters writes about “common core” often, in fact it has been in her annual trends list since 2010 when it was created. Common Core provides a single set of K-12 standards in math and language arts and has been adopted by 45 states (Hack Education, 2013) (not surprisingly, my current state of Virginia is not one of them.) It remains on the trend list again this year most likely because in 2014 the first assessments will become available.

In addition to writing about education and education technology, Watters refers readers to “news elsewhere” or articles of interest on the web. They may or may not relate to education or technology, and include such items as vaccine deniers, student privacy, the problem with easy access to information, and more. She also includes information on her book, Teach Machines: The Drive to Automate Education, which she plans to self-publish in late 2013 or early 2014.

Lastly, Watters offers a 3 part ed-tech guide (part 3 coming soon) which attempts to bridge gaps between technologists, educators, and learners.

In all, this is a comprehensive and sometimes irreverent look at education technology that is useful for anyone interested in the future (and the present) of education.
