Let me preface this by saying that any similarities to existing voice-over artists’ slogans are purely coincidental. But it’s time someone addresses the lazy approach to voice-over slogans. Wikipedia says:
Advertising slogans are short, often memorable phrases used in advertising campaigns. They are claimed to be the most effective means of drawing attention to one or more aspects of a product.
Some voice-over slogans are indeed short and memorable, but they’re not effective. They sacrifice what I call “casting efficiency” for the sake of being clever. Being clever is not the goal; neither is just being memorable. Think about the TV commercials you remember. Most of them are clever; and though you remember the commercial, you cant remember the product was. It’s no different with voice-over slogans.

Route to obesity passes through tongueObesity gradually numbs the taste sensation of rats to sweet foods and drives them to consume larger and ever-sweeter meals, according to neuroscientists. Findings from the Penn State study could uncover a critical link between taste and body weight, and reveal how flab hooks the brain on sugary food. "When you have a reduced sensitivity to palatable foods, you tend to consume it in higher amounts," said Andras Hajnal, associate professor of neural and behavioral sciences at Penn State College of Medicine.

An Operator Repairs: Hard To Understand

  • Nov. 18th, 2008 at 1:53 PM

Forgive me for this, but I was cleaning off my desktop--you know, when I say that I still think of a damp cloth and maybe some lemon pledge--but I digress. I was trashing little files cluttering up my desktop, when I came across this list. I don't even remember where I got it or who wrote it but I kept it because I thought it was fun. Yes, its over, the whole bloody mess, and today Obama even invited McCain to sit down and imagine how he can be useful in his golden years, so touching. But I can't help reproducing this list for you, just to rehash the good ole' days of incredulous befuddlement as we held head in hands trying to understand how any voter with an IQ two points higher than a fence post could be undecided.

So I give you, "Trying to understand"


* If you grow up in Hawaii and were raised by a single Mom and your grandparents, you're "exotic”, “different" and not a real American.

* If you grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers you're a quintessential American.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* If you name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* If you graduate near the top of you class from Harvard Law School, you are an elitist who's not a real American and certainly not qualified to be President of the U.S.

* If you attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, OR finish close to last in your class at the Naval Academy, you're well grounded and the most qualified to hold the two highest offices in the U.S.

* If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife to marry the heiress the next month, you're a maverick and someone to be looked up too as promoting Christian values.

* If you teach children about sexual predators, you are irresponsible and eroding the fiber of society but if while Mayor of your small town, you charge rape victims a fee for rape kits you are to be applauded for your leadership.

* If, while Governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only programs, providing no other sex education option in your State's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's ; however if you can't remember how many houses you own, your wife is one of the richest people in America who inherited her money and wears dresses every day that cost several thousand dollars, the two of you have more in common with and can relate better to "real" Americans than the snooty Harvard Law graduates who paid their own way through college and law school.

* If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that hates America and advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.


Oh, I get it.

When you think of Victorias Secret, images of super hot chicks in sexy lingerie come to mind. But there is currently a lawsuit against Victorias Secret, and allegations of the VS brand bras containing formaldehyde are being investigated. The ladies behind the lawsuit state that the Victorias Secret bras caused severe itching and nasty rashes. Sounds sexy eh.

So as planned I got to visit my old school at Capilano today to help out the students who were looking for an actor. One interesting bit was that when I attended the place was a college and now it has been upgraded to a university.
It was a pretty simple 3 minute shoot and it seemed ore like it was a practice film for the production students more so than trying to make a sophisticated film. There was one scene where my character was supposed to get tossed over a balcony. The whole scene was shot on a set that the student built.
At first hey didn’t really know how the person could toss me over this platform without me getting hurt and so they originally suggested that I simply sit on the edge of it and the guy would push me down. Again, they were worried about my safety which is always great to hear.
However, I thought that would be a bit corny and unrealistic and so fortunately with my martial arts background I was able to devise a simple stunt that would make it look like the guy really tossed me over. It was great that I knew how to fall without hurting myself and that is always an important factor when doing these types of acrobatic stunts. In the end, it seemed like it turned out well.
Wasn’t too bad overall as it was about a 2 and a half hour shoot. Had fun visiting the old school again.

#001 "Laughter is the best medicine. So, if you laugh at your problems or at least see the humor in them, they are then easier to overcome."

#002 Stay persistent in all things. Everything worth anything takes time to build.

#003 If I am worried about what the future holds, I need to slow my roll and concentrate on what's in front of me right now, today.
Today is now, and it's always today...If I go to sleep and wake up is it tomorrow? No, it becomes today.
So, it's always today, no matter what time it is or where I'm at. Today is all I have, tomorrow is a mystery, and yesterday is history.

#004 "I must always look at this process of growing and learning as a continuous life-long process, not as an event.And, Having a bad moment doesn't mean I am having a bad day."

#005 It's not about what I can get out of a situation, meeting or relationship; it's about what I can add to it."

#006 Today my wife and I were walking down the street and she pointed at a gorgeous house and commented, "Look, that's a nice house."
In my twisted perspective and warped perception, this is what I FELT like she said, "Oh, damn, look at that! Now, I'd sleep with whoever owns that house, because it's much nicer than the one we live in. That house makes ours look like rhinoceros snot!"

#007 "I don't judge people by what I think they should be doing or by how I would have done it. I judge people by the effort they put into what ever it is they're doing. If they could have done better...they would have.
When I do something, if I don't give it my all, then according to my own judging guidelines I have set myself up to fail or at least fall short of my potential...and people will notice it. Most of all...I will know it."

#008 "I was judging me by my intentions while the world was judging me by my actions."

#009 Barak Obama won my vote from the first time I heard him utter a word. I liked what I heard...and he's Black to the bone. You can't be Black in America and not be Black in America...you know what I mean? O.J. found that out, as did Michael Jackson. Serena and Venus Williams found that you can't be Black in the world and not get treated Black in the world. It's a cold game...racism, and Black's are the last to play it but the first to feel it's sting all over the planet. I don't play the Race Card...I AM the Race Card, and I'll be damned if I get played!

This last weekend (October 27-28 2007) I was one of three actors cast for a collaborative film project that's part of an upper level class offered at UW-Milwaukee. We filmed on location in Kewaskum, WI. The trip up took about 45 minutes and when I arrived, I was emotionally blank. If you haven't been to Kewaskum, it's quite a simple place. The neighborhood were we were consisted of widely dispersed homes, a BP gas station that was connected to Woody's On The Run, and a Ace True Value.

The motel where the majority of shooting took place was a red deal with "1 floor of quality." The name of the motel is the Bonne Bell (pronounced Bon-ee-Bell). The name says it all, the place was perfect for the film, and a disaster for a vacation. I don't stay in many motels, in fact the last temporary residence I had was at the Hilton in Minneapolis.

The shooting was standard taking about 12 hours each day, with lunch breaks in between shooting sections. The crew was, in my limited experience, quite large. There was a sound guy, a boom operator, a camera assistant, a camera man, a director, a continuity person, and countless writers.

My first film experience was a lot of hard work, waiting in line, and freezing my ass off. I am glad I was able to participate in the production of a real film, not some cheesy video production.

Within a Request for Correction appeal response, the NTSB affirms its prior position regarding a Flight Data Recorder (FDR) download file attributed to the FDR recovered from the crash scene of American Airlines flight 77, containing a creation time-stamp preceding the discovery of the said FDR by over four hours.
NTSB General Counsel Gary L. Halbert:
"Finally, you state that "the 'FDR' file 'American 77' contains a 'Modified' time and date stamp of 'Thursday, September 13, 2001, 11:45:38 PM,' indicating that edits and modifications to this file were completed 4 hours and 15 minutes before the FDR reportedly belonging to American Airlines flight 77 was actually recovered," and that, "[t]herefore, the use by the NTSB of information obtained from the 'FDR' file' American 77' ... is obviously in error." This also, as previously indicated, is not an error.

BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams may have many questioning just what 2K Marin has in store for us with such archaic imagery. What or whom survived the last round in Rapture remains to be seen, but what we do know, thanks to a recent quote from 2K representative Charlie Sinhaseni on GameSpot, is that the game is "destined" for the PlayStation 3, Windows-based PCs, and the Xbox 360.While a psychic barnyard animal could have predicted that, what we are still unsure of is if each port of the game will be released simultaneously or not. Hopefully, this time around that will be the case so PS3 users will not have to once again wait a whole painful year to get the game on their system.

Im moving into a house that has a space in the wall for a television. Whats the best tv for a large room? Which technology is better, plasma or lcd or tube?

Tube gives you a fantastic picture, but you better not mind a TV weighing nearly 200lbs (or even more). Plasma is fantastic, it has a quick response time and excellent color. Its also more vulnerable to burn-in from the choices given, but the newer ones have much long lifetimes and are much less problematic about burn-in than old ones.
If you plan to keep the TV for a long, long time, LCD is probably the best choice since it will retain its picture quality for a very long time and still have a pretty good picture. Although, they have the slowest response times of the three (that will only really matter if youre a gamer).

Together, we cannot fail. Not now. Not when we have a crisis to solve and an economy to save. Not when there are so many Americans without jobs and without homes. Not when there are families who cant afford to see a doctor, or send their child to college, or pay their bills at the end of the month. Not when there is a generation that is counting on us to give them the same opportunities and the same chances that we had for ourselves.

We can do this. Americans have done this before. Some of us had grandparents or parents who said maybe I cant go to college but my child can; maybe I cant have my own business but my child can. I may have to rent, but maybe my children will have a home they can call their own. I may not have a lot of money but maybe my child will run for Senate. I might live in a small village but maybe someday my son can be president of the United States of America.

Now it falls to us. Together, we cannot fail.

Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks principals today announced the formalization of their transition agreements as Steven Spielberg and Stacey Snider depart to form their previously announced new motion pictures company in partnership with Reliance BIG Entertainment. David Geffen, who oversaw the transition for DreamWorks, will not be joining the new company.
As part of the separation agreement, the DreamWorks principals’ new company will take the lead on a number of development projects, which Paramount will have the option to co-finance and co-distribute. The majority of existing DreamWorks staff is expected to be offered positions at the new company.
All other projects currently in development will remain at Paramount with the opportunity for the Reliance-backed venture to co-finance several projects to which Spielberg is attached. In addition, Spielberg will continue to produce the “Transformers” franchise for Paramount and will also collaborate on three other Paramount films including, When Worlds Collide.
Brad Grey, Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures said, “We have had a great run with the DreamWorks team both creatively and financially. In particular, it has been a true honor working closely with a storyteller of Steven’s talent and stature. We are also grateful to David and Stacey for their exceptional leadership, creative talent and many contributions to our partnership over the past few years. We look forward to building on our joint successes as Paramount plans for the future.”
Spielberg added, “Brad is a friend and I am pleased to be able to continue to work with him and his team with whom we have shared many successes. We have enjoyed a productive creative and business collaboration with Brad, Paramount and Viacom over the past few years and are enthusiastic about extending the relationship for many years to come. And I have a very special thanks to David Geffen for his far reaching vision that has made it possible for me to steer this new course. His advice and wisdom have always been right on the money. He is a friend for life.”
“We are grateful to Brad, Rob and the entire Paramount team for their generous support and constant creativity. We are very proud of the films we produced and marketed together. We’re excited about this new venture which wouldn’t have been possible without the business genius and loyalty of David Geffen,” said Stacey Snider, Co-chairman and CEO of DreamWorks Studios.
Rob Moore, Vice Chairman Paramount Pictures added, “It has been rewarding to work with the DreamWorks team and I’m gratified we’ll have the opportunity to continue to work together. We wish them the best as they launch their new venture.

Sarah Palin Unveils Palin/McCain Plan for Cutting the Federal Budget

(September, 29 2008) Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin announced the updated McCain Palin plan for cutting the federal budget upon assuming office in January 2009. Among items up for consideration is the sale of Airforce One. Thanks but no thanks said Palin. "The new President doesnt need to waste money on his own plan. At least I dont think so. Do ya? After all, its not like we want to drag a bunch of media types along with us. Then people might continue to think we want to talk to them. And lets face it. Those questions they ask. Theyre hard. On the auction block as well, Marine One, and the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, and what Palin refers to as "some low grade nukular weapons".

We need the money to pay for all of the newborn babies John McCain and I are going to make togetherwhen we end the murder of innocent children by their own mothers by putting an end to Roe vs. Wade. We just know that as soon as those would-be killers see those little bundles of joy, that the pride of mothership will sweep over those women, and they will raise those lovely children to live the American dream, smiled Palin with her typical deer in the headlights grin.

Speaking of mother ship, there is talk that the McCain/Palin ticket is divided over the idea of auctioning that too. While Palin is a supporter of the sale, John McCain has grown fond of the mother ship, and is concerned that auctioning it on E-bay might alert their supporters of its existence. Polls show, however that their supporters are so blind that the likelihood that presence of a mothership will strike them being as odd as the fact that Palin cites neighborhood to Russia as her qualification to handle foreign policy. Palin shrugs off the idea that she might become President in the event of Senator McCains demise. Aw shoot. Hes so healthy. After the igna igna innarguration, Me and Dick Cheney were takin John huntin!

It is unclear whether Congress will approve the planned budget changes, or the sale of longheld assets of the Executive Branch, but Palin after pouring herself another cup of wolf-puppy blood confidently smiled and said Up there in Alaska we get things done and with the help of Todd Palin, Alaskas first dude, I guarantee you these Congress people will do as they are told. If not, heck Well just fire them and sell them on E-bay too.

"This is an extremely important opportunity for me to reveal a significant moment in Canadian history and illustrate the steadfast bravery of the Sikh community who sacrificed so much to help create a more tolerant community within my adopted country," said Mehta in a statement.
Mehta originally intended Amitabh Bachchan to topline the USD 30 million drama, but had to back down because Bachchan didn't have the Canadian citizenship. 'Komagata Maru' is a government financed picture and requires a local lead as per the Canadian norms.
Kumar, who has a permanent resident status of Canada, stepped in to play the role of Gurdit Singh, a Sikh lawyer who represented the 376 passengers aboard the ship.
"I am not used to working with Oscar nominated directors so it is a great privilege for me to work with Deepa Mehta. The subject of this film has moved me, as it is a true representation and a testimony to human struggle for freedom, justice and equality. I want to portray this real life tragedy to the world identifying how injustice was done to innocent people," Akshay said.
"It's an honour for me to play one of the bravest Sikhs, Gurdit Singh, in this tragic forgotten moment in history. I salute those brave souls who sacrificed their lives for justice and equality", he said.
Hamilton-Mehta productions will produce the Canadian drama in association with Kumar's production, 'Hari Om' Entertainment. The shooting for the film will begin in September 2009.
