VMA Main Stage Designer Aimed To Blow Minds With Set

'It looks more like a big city and less like a stage,' Florian Wieder explains.

Los Angeles — When you settled in on the couch at home on Sunday night to watch the 2011 Video Music Awards, it probably felt like you were going back to the future. As in years past, the main stage for the show was a visual spectacular. This year the theme was time travel, and the stage's designer was intent on making you feel as if you were on a mind-tripping journey.

"We met up half a year ago and [VMA Executive Producer Jesse Ignjatovic] came up with the idea to create a time tunnel," explained VMA main stage production designer Florian Wieder of the psychedelic set that looked like a cross between an alien landing ship, the floor of a 1970s disco and the baddest midnight laser-light show ever. "That's one of the reasons why the whole design is based on a tunnel that is right in the center of the stage."

Like the pre-show, which shared some of the same curvy, intergalactic whimsy, the main broadcast mixed undulating wave forms with bright, pop-art-style colors and a black and white theme to set the stage for a galaxy of performers, including Adele, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Kanye West, Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Bruno Mars, Pitbull and Ne-Yo, newcomers Young the Giant and Chris Brown.

From the flames, smoke and sparks that showered the stage during Kanye and Jay's surprise set to the towering pop-art images of Amy Winehouse that flashed on the screen as Bruno Mars paid tribute to the late "Rehab" singer, Wieder's creation was alive with flavor and rich imagery for the entire broadcast.

"We have a lot of movement," he said. "The whole set is pretty much a video surface ... [which] helps us to get different looks and put different colors on [the screens]."

And though he said that some people commented that the structure of the staging had an almost aquatic, whale-like look — making it feel as if you'd been swallowed, Jonah-like, into the belly of the beast — the Munich, Germany-born designer said he did not take his inspiration from the sea. He actually took it from the notion of extending the time tunnel into the audience so that they could feel like they were part of the show.

And the audience members inside the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles were involved, thanks to a number of spaces around the meandering stage that allowed fans to be right up close to the action. They were even more in the mix during Young the Giant's set, in which the band appeared to be performing under a floating dome that was not actually there.

With 250 fans from their Irvine, California, hometown flown in to watch the song from the comfort of the stage, they set up shop near the back inside the tunnel as graphics of flashing white lights behind them made it seem like they were inside some kind of "2001"-style vortex. "I think it's a very interesting space concept because we created that very, very strong physical structure as a stage and there is some audience placed within the stage," Wieder said. "And then we have some ribs and these ribs extend the stage itself into the house. I think it's a good way to connect the audience and the artists and the set so it becomes more of an event; it looks less like a stage as people are used to seeing in a theater. It looks more like a big city and less like a stage."

Mexico's Calderon berates U.S. after casino attack (Reuters)

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) ? President Felipe Calderon declared three days of mourning on Friday and demanded a crackdown on drugs in the United States after armed men torched a casino in northern Mexico, killing at least 52 people.

Under intense pressure as violence soars, Calderon said he would send more federal security forces to the city of Monterrey, where gunmen set fire to an upmarket casino on Thursday in one of the worst attacks of Mexico's drugs war.

Lashing out at corrupt officials in Mexico and "insatiable" U.S. demand for drugs for fomenting the violence, Calderon urged Congress to stamp out drug consumption and stop illegal trafficking of weapons across the border into Mexico.

"We're neighbors, we're allies, we're friends, but you are also responsible," a somber and angry Calderon said to the United States in a speech after meeting his security advisers.

Pledging to step up the fight on organized crime, Calderon said Mexico was under attack from "true terrorists", and told all Mexicans to come forward and denounce those responsible.

"They aren't and cannot be the ones in charge of our streets, our cities and our future," he said, shortly before departing to Monterrey to take stock of the situation.

President Barack Obama called the attack "barbaric" and said his government stood shoulder to shoulder with Mexico in the battle against the gangs.

"We share with Mexico responsibility for meeting this challenge and we are committed to continuing our unprecedented cooperation in confronting these criminal organizations," Obama said in a statement issued by the White House.

Washington provides money and resources to Mexico in the drugs war, but joint cooperation has been damaged by mistrust, a botched U.S. plan to track down weapons smugglers and the killing by suspected hitmen of a U.S. customs agent in Mexico this year.

Calderon first ordered a crackdown against the cartels when he took office in late 2006 and several senior traffickers have been arrested. However, turf wars between rival cartels have killed about 42,000 people, battering Mexico's reputation.

The president insists his campaign has weakened the cartels but critics say it simply brought a surge in violence and has done little or nothing to slow the flow of cocaine, marijuana and other drugs into the United States.

The carnage has hurt support for Calderon's conservative National Action Party (PAN), which already faces an uphill battle to retain the presidency in elections next July.

BITTER BLOW

The casino attack is particularly bitter for Calderon because the victims were mainly well-to-do civilians with no link to the conflict, in an area that has traditionally been a electoral stronghold for the business-friendly PAN.

Monterrey, which lies about 230 km (140 miles) from the Texas border, is a relatively wealthy city of about 4 million people and is home to some of Mexico's biggest companies. It was for many years seen as a model of economic development but it has been ravaged by the drugs war over the past two years.

The president was unrepentant on Friday and sought to pin blame for the violence on corrupt judges and politicians in "certain parts" of the country. It appeared to be an attack on the main opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which controls the majority of Mexico's states.

With a big lead in opinion polls, the PRI is on track to oust the PAN from power next year and analysts expect the ruling party to intensify efforts to discredit its bitter rival as the presidential vote nears.

Survivors from Thursday afternoon's attack said armed men burst into the Casino Royale and threatened gamblers before dousing gasoline on the carpets and setting it on fire.

"My wife came here for a celebration," a weeping man told Milenio TV. "She was having dinner with her friends."

Media reports said the majority of the dead were women.

Security camera footage showed four vehicles pulling up outside the front of the casino and waiting while the assailants went into the gambling hall.

Within three minutes, black smoke was billowing from the front doors and people could be seen fleeing in panic.

Dell Vostro 360 unveiled in China, a decently priced all-in-Yuan

Dell's Chinese site just took the wraps off the Vostro 360 all-in-one, which we already glimpsed in some prematurely released support documents. The product page actually calls it the 'Vostro Success 360' to hammer home its productivity focus, as if the inclusion of Windows 7 Professional Edition wasn't enough. Other specs are pretty much as expected: a choice of touchscreen or non-touchscreen variants of the 23-inch Full HD WLED display, Intel i3 or i5 processors with the H61 chipset and up to a terabyte of 7200RPM storage. There's also a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M for those out-of-hours LAN parties. The 4,999 Yuan price tag for the base model translates to a respectable $780, but we've no clue as to when this office beauty will arrive outside the Chung Kuo.

[Thanks, Czar]

Panasonic shrinks its Micro Four Thirds lenses, launches X-series with wide-angle, telephoto zooms


Anyone who's used Panasonic's 14-42mm Micro Four Thirds zoom lens has probably noticed its relatively bulky design, especially when compared to Olympus's counterpart. Today, the company announced a new lens that offers the same zoom and f/3.5-5.6 aperture range in a housing less than half the size when closed, and still noticeably smaller when extended. The first of two optics in Panasonic's premium X-series -- the second is a 45-170mm f/4-5.6 zoom -- it's been billed as the world's smallest digital interchangeable power zoom lens, thanks to its internal zoom motor which lets you adjust the focal length using a side-mounted rocker -- the design is similar to the zoom toggle included with the company's new FX150 superzoom. Priced at $399, it also includes a metal lens mount, instead of the plastic mount used with the existing $199 14-42mm lens.

That second 45-170mm zoom ($449) can replace Panasonic's 45-200mm lens ($349), and while the size difference isn't as dramatic is its smaller X-series sibling, it's still noticeably smaller and lighter. Both lenses include optical image stabilization and feature nano surface coatings, designed to reduce ghosting and lens flare. The 14-42mm lens will ship in October in black and white (for use with silver bodies), and the 45-170mm zoom will ship in September. They'll only be compatible with the GF-2, GF-3, and G3 at launch after downloading a firmware update -- Panasonic is leaving it up to Olympus to release supporting firmware for its own cameras be compatible with all G-series cameras at launch, without the need for a firmware update. Jump past the break for more details from Panasonic, and check out the gallery below -- complete with side-by-side shots for both lens classes.


Update: Panasonic issued a correction saying that both lens will be compatible with all G-series cameras without the need for a firmware update.

Acid Reflux vs. LPRD

GERD LPRD. They may sound top-secret government programs, or perhaps the names of computer programs. But they are actually very common health conditions and is expected to have suffered from one or two. What are they? And what is the difference between them?

GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly called reflux or heartburn only known. LPRD is laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. To understand the causes andRelationship between them, let us look how the body is mounted.

On the back of the throat a sphincter (or muscle) is that when you swallow something, so that the material opens up into the esophagus. Then at the bottom of the esophagus, there is another sphincter that opens into the stomach. Both muscles are closed most of the time, and opens only when something needs to go. There is no policy of openness with the esophagus, you have to knock every time.

One of thelower than for the purposes of this sphincter is to keep the digestive juices of the stomach from splashing into the esophagus. The stomach is material to it of its acids, fed protect natural, but the esophagus has no such protection. So if something happens to compromise sphincter, allowing acid to rise, what does not belong, you feel it. This is heartburn or GERD.

Now, when the acid enters the esophagus and then come to the endIn the past the upper sphincter and into the back of the throat that LPRD. In other words, you should consider what happens if LPRD acid GERD do not know when to stop gushing one.

One would think that would not feel LPRD GERD without the feeling before, but in fact most people who suffer from LPRD not notice any significant heartburn. This is due to be LPRD, the acid all the way have existed until the end of the esophagus andThroat. He remained in the esophagus, it would take some damage and caused heartburn have done. But since it was started, this process is largely ignored altogether.

The symptoms of LPRD are hoarseness, frequent throat clearing, difficulty swallowing, a bitter taste in the mouth and throat pain. There is a ravine in connection syndrome, while GERD is felt in the chest area.

However, while disease and gastroesophageal reflux LPRD have different symptoms can be preventedexactly the same way. Both are caused by stomach acid up, so if you can prevent this, to prevent both conditions. Avoid eating large meals or lie down immediately after eating. Avoid fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and chocolate ? yes, yes, all that fun, but at a price. Tight clothing or belts can also cause acid reflux just physically forced from the stomach.

If you loadedwith either GERD or LPRD, do not worry. In almost all cases, both diseases are relatively easy to treat. Find the cure that can work for you specifically request a certain way, but it's a small price to pay to keep your stomach happy.

Strengthen Your Online Customer Service for A Stronger Business

Posted on August 25th, 2011 by Derek Shuckhart in Internet Business

Your online customer service must be doing the right job otherwise you will create a negative situation for your business. Whether there are order problems, general questions or any kind of issue, that is what your customer service needs to answer. Given below are three effective online customer service tips that you can use right away to improve the assistance you provide to your customers on the web.

You can take a big load off your customer service staff by implementing a simple, yet solid FAQ section. You know the deal with this, but if you do need to get one up on your business site if you currently do not have one. Identifying these frequently asked questions and setting up a database of answers not only helps you give a better customer service, but also makes sure that your focus is on customers that are having more serious issues.

Of course your FAQ?s will be specific to your business but all businesses can benefit from this. Make sure your FAQ section is easily searchable and contains every conceivable question that your customers have.

One excellent and popular approach is with the support desk application. Not all customers are comfortable in picking up the phone and calling your customer service department, which is why providing them with an email alternative can help them get in touch with you easily. The standard acceptable response time is about one business day, but you should always try to beat that so you can make a great impression.

Naturally you have to give people a means so they can contact you in some way. As you know, some folks are shy and will not want to call, and so the email support desk is great. The standard acceptable response time is about one business day, but you should always try to beat that so you can make a great impression.

Do not forget about the search function on your site, and that can complement the FAQ page. There are times when people are looking for a particular thing on your website and may not be able to find it. You do not want people to abandon your site just because they became frustrated. We think you will discover how much people will use this, and then you will see the power of it. So many people are suspicious on the net, and for good reason, so making your online customer service as transparent as possible will help. Getting their suggestions will help you immensely in getting new ideas that will take your customer service to a whole new level.

Look at the writer?s other work in other categories such trading, insurance, credit repairs, web, technology, cosmetitcs, yeast infection (e.g. causes of yeast infections), crafts, automotive, marital relationship and relationships.
