5 Below the Line Lessons from David Fincher's House of Cards
When Netflix handed David Fincher the keys to a $100-million production called "House of Cards," nobody knew what was going to happen. Would the investment pay off? Would Fincher flounder or flourish in television? Is it still considered TV even if it never broadcasts over the cable pipes?
by Evan LuziBehind the Lens
"House of Cards" is now Netflix's most-watched title.
Consider me an accomplice to that success: over the course of a weekend, I watched the entire series — exactly what Netflix hoped would happen.
During the post-binge hangover, I tried to quench my thirst for more "House of Cards" by reading interviews with several key members of the production and I stumbled across one with David Fincher that was particularly revelatory.
During the course of this interview with Empire, Fincher drops hints here and there about what it's like to work with him. And what we can glean from these brief responses are some insights that, perhaps someday, help get you on a set run by Fincher himself.
(Side note: he's always been a favorite director of mine — even if I've been unfair to him in the past — because he's more open than most about the actual filmmaking process. For instance, there's a behind-the-scenes moment from The Social Network blu-ray in which Fincher gets under the skin of a boom op for casting a shadow on the wall: "We can't be having that shit," he says emphatically.)
1. Medium Matters — But It's Still Not an Excuse
Shooting for the iPad: it's so odd. The monitors we use on set are bigger than that. When you think of the idea of this thing being crushed down to this tablet I do get wistful. But it also helps. You think "They're not going to see that the focus pull was so late".
Format matters. More people should acknowledge that. It's easy to prove, too.
As a camera assistant, how often have you watched a focus pull on a 5″ onboard monitor thinking it was crisp and sharp only to cringe when it's blown up on a 27″ monitor and actually a little buzzy?
As a production designer, have you ever seen an "unreadable" sign in the background only to sit in a theater and spend the entire time dissecting each word of the sign?
Format and viewing medium makes a difference in more ways than we care to admit. We like to think the experience of watching a movie is similar whether you're doing it on a phone, a tablet, a laptop, or a TV. But it's not. And it affects our job.
As Fincher mentions, it can hide mistakes — like focus pulls, boom shadows, or set continuity.
But that doesn't mean it's an excuse to slack on the job. It's not permission to assume mistakes will be hidden when the production only ends up on YouTube. A small-format production doesn't grant you approval to skirt responsibilities.
It does, however, grant you leeway after the fact. It gives you the ability to stretch what was once impermissible into something that will be OK.
Fincher gives the example of a late focus pull: on the big screen, the lateness is glaringly obvious as we are subjected to a moment of blurry footage. On a phone with heavy compression though, you won't even blink an eye.
2. It's Your Job to Enable the Talent
I try to create an environment where – and there's a lot of pressure on everybody – but I want there to be the least amount of pressure on the person who is performing. I would rather have the day be more excruciating for the focus-puller than it is for the person playing Francis. I want Kevin to be able to give himself over to a process that's just, you know, playing dress-up.
And in order to do that I put pressure on everyone around them. I mean, we can't be changing ties after take three: "Oops! This is the wrong tie for this scene because in the next one he's in the car and he has the blue tie on." I can't have that.
I've written about the idea of the invisible camera assistant before, but Fincher encapsulates the concept perfectly in this excerpt. He wants to put all the pressure on his crew to be perfect so that the actors and actresses can feel free to perform — failures and all.
Fincher is more willing to accomodate talent over crew. Is Spacey having a hard time hitting his mark? Then ignore it. It's tough for the focus-puller, but at least Kevin Spacey feels less pressure to nail the T-mark. Now he can lose himself completely into the role of Francis.
Is this fair? Maybe not, but that's irrelevant.
Basically, Fincher demands crew adapt to the performance — not the other way around.
That's something I find almost all directors want — though some won't be so ruthless about it. But you'll garner a lot of respect if you take this attitude upon yourself.
Is an actor constantly missing their mark? Don't complain to the camera operator or the director, find a way to work around it without destroying the "flow" of the talent.
Are the performers tripping on the dolly track? Find another way to shoot the same move. Can you lift the track? Or adjust it?
It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and time-crunch of a shoot and think your job is the most important. Often as below-the-line crew we (mistakenly) feel as if shooting the scene is just an obstacle between setups.
But the performance, the magic, the one take that's "perfect" isn't an obstacle — it's the whole reason you're there. If anything, the missed focus pulls, the dolly in the way, the light that needs a scrim, they're the obstacles.
What I'm saying and what Fincher is getting at is the performance is what matters, and thus the performers must be enabled by the crew to put their best foot forward. If that means making your job harder as a crew member, then so be it.
Of course, there are always cases where crew need the talent to make concessions in order to get a shot (like using a dummy prop, cheating an eyeline, or walking over dolly track). The idea is that you do whatever is in your power to avoid those moments in order to give talent as much freedom to perform as possible.
3. Fincher Can't Care that You're Tired
I spent way too much money, I spent way too much time thinking about this. I spent way too much time coaxing and cajoling to get that. We can't leave this until we have the moments that it's going to take to make this work. We can't. We're doing everyone a disservice. You can't allow it to exhaust you. You have to keep that focus and that concentration and you have to get what you need.
I mean I have thrown the flag and called it on account of rain: I've had situations where you say, "This person is too tired to continue, so…" I've had situations where you have an actor and you realise, "They're not there anymore. We're going to have to pick this up some other time." But for the most part… You're doing it for the fucking Blu-ray, man. Blu-ray is forever.
I mean, part of what you get paid to do is to ignore the discomfort of those around you, because you have to go, "I get it! But I didn't fly Stellan Skarsgård all the way here and put him up in a hotel and make him learn 18 pages of stuff only to say, "Oh, OK, that's pretty good, let's move on!'" I came here to juice that! I came here to squeeze that. And I came here to see what else is there.
This quote came during a part in the interview where Empire mentioned that, while they were visiting the set, the day went very long and a lot of the crew wanted to go home.
They asked if Fincher cared.
He said, "Can't care," and then continued speaking into the quote at the top of this section.
There are days in the film industry that suck. Days that definitely feel like work. And those are usually the days that drag on for 15 hours or more. You're tired, cranky, and could give two shits if there's more coverage needed because all you want is your bed.
But Fincher raises this point: the blu-ray is forever. Maybe you don't care that there's more coverage needed, but he has to go into the edit bay and squeeze out a scene that's OK for people to watch over and over again.
So, which is a higher priority for the director: you getting sleep or the perpetuity of his art?
Sometimes you're on the wrong end of that one.
As below-the-line crew, we're sometimes treated like grunts in boot camp and the drill sergeant doesn't care.
That may sound harsh, but ultimately what Fincher is doing is looking out for everyone by holding out on those occasions that he does. By not giving in to a crew that wants to go home, Fincher is upholding the integrity of his project and making sure the end result is something to be proud of 8 months down the line when you've forgotten about the 4 hours of sleep you missed.
(That said, keeping a crew long past 12 hours consistently is inexcusable and shows a lack of discipline and planning. There are proven safety and health risks involved with over-working and I do not condone testing those limits. I am mostly referring to the occasionally long working day.)
The caveat, of course, is that the production must be worth working your ass off for. Not every director is David Fincher and not every production is worth slaving an extra 6 hours on. That's unavoidable.
But even if you feel that way, the director will still believe they're doing God's work. You should be mentally prepared for this.
A director or a producer may sympathize, apologize, and feel terrible for keeping a crew long past the 10 or 12-hour mark, but like Fincher is saying, they spend way too much money to leave an incomplete project. So while you check your watch one more time, you have to at least be aware that you aren't going home until the director or producer feels like it's time to go home.
You don't have to like that, but you do have to learn to live with it – or be prepared to speak up against it and potentially walk away from the gig.
That said, this quote provides only a limited perspective on Fincher's habits as a director. Just because he kept his crew late one day does not mean it's a regular thing nor that he enjoys doing it. Based on some first-hand accounts, he values sticking to the standard 12-hour day which enables him to draw more water from a drying well of time when it's sometimes needed (as was the case on the day Empire had visited).
4. Sometimes You Work Beyond the Best Take
In fact, interestingly enough, that scene that you're talking about, the take we used was four takes before the end. And I said, "That was really great. I don't think we'll get better than that… but I want you to try." And we shot more takes after that and didn't use them. But that was the thing. We got it. It all worked.
"One more for safety" is a phrase all crew are accustomed to hearing after nailing a great shot. The camera hit its marks, the actor nailed their lines, and the lighting looked beautiful, but, just in case, you're going to try and recreate that magic.
Fincher is just confirming what crew have known in their heads every time they hear a director beg for "just one more" take: it's probably not going to get better.
Most of the time, these additional takes go downhill. The variations don't play right, they don't have the same timing, or the stars don't align. Still, as a creative, it's hard to move on when there's the fleeting pursuit of perfection.
What this translates to is more work for the crew. It means another exhausting 2 minutes of shouldering that Steadicam or another stressful focus pull or fending off hunger for a few more minutes before lunch.
Yes, it's true — the safety take can, in some regards, be deemed useless work. But that's just the nature of working on a film set. You will have to sit through many takes that will seem unnecessary at times.
What's important to note in Fincher's statement, however, is the ending: "it all worked."
Though the extra effort may seem unnecessary, the director gets what they want. OK, so he technically got what he wanted before all the hooplah about 5 more takes, but if you lump the entire day together, the ends should justify the means. The extra takes are what give a director solace to move on, both physically and mentally, to the next scene. Without indulging those neuroses, one could argue the rest of the film suffers.
Plain and simple: don't be surprised to find yourself doing extra work when working below the line.
5. Keep on Rolling When There's a Bump in the Track
There are times when there's a bump in the track or a boom mic comes in, and it distracts you for a second, and then you go, you can hear it through your headphones, "We're rolling". It's rolling, we're falling downhill. We're working. And those are times when the bumps in the track, the boom mic and shit, doesn't matter.
When things get rough — whether it's because you've missed a focus pull or you're tired from a long day — take solace in the fact that sometimes the rough patches don't matter. This works on all level of a film production:
Messed up moments in a scene can be skipped in an edit
A minor mistake on set will be forgotten in a day if handled appropriately
A scuff-up with a producer can be smoothed over with drinks
Don't get distracted with the stuff that, ultimately, doesn't matter. Like Fincher says, you're working. There is no time to stop and ruminate on what has happened. You have to push forward, find a solution, fix it, and keep going.
So you buzzed the focus? Get it back in focus for the remainder of the scene.
So you got heated at a crew member and exchanged some words? Apologize and make amends.
So you slated a scene wrong? Make a note on the camera reports and don't mess up again.
You'd be surprised how many mistakes do take place on a film set and how often they are just smoothed over or worked around. God knows I've shouldered my fair share of screw-ups.
But I never let them get to me. I took responsibility and then found a solution.
You have to going.
You have to keep rolling.
You have to keep falling downhill.
In Fincher We Trust
Not every director is going to be like David Fincher. In fact, most won't. They won't have the same work ethic, the same attitudes, nor the same experiences that have led to what Fincher believes is the right way to run a set.
Still, what Fincher demands from his crew isn't uncommon: a high skill level, positive attitude, relentless work ethic, and their trust in him.
So while you'll encounter all sorts of flavors of directors, producers, and production personnel throughout your career, it's not a bad idea to work towards the ideal of the type of crew member David Fincher would want to hire.
If you're lucky, someday you may find yourself 18 hours deep in a shoot with David Fincher huddled in video village.

Among quite possibly the most prevalent electrical wiring issues is regarding how to wire a switch. Whilst applying switches at your house is kind of uncomplicated, wiring a single may not be that straightforward for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are different kinds of switches, but for this instance, let us say that you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally widespread change (along with the easiest).
There are actually a few hues of wires in the normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them on the terminal screws - one on top plus the other within the bottom screw in the switch. The white wire serves like a source of uninterrupted electrical power and is also normally related to a light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire into the ground screw of one's switch.
These measures would commonly be sufficient to produce a typical switch operate with out a challenge. Nevertheless, for those who usually are not confident that you choose to can accomplish the job correctly and safely you superior permit the professionals get it done alternatively. Right after all, there is a purpose why this undertaking is one of the most typical electrical wiring inquiries requested by many people.
For many purpose, the way to wire a ceiling fan can also be certainly one of essentially the most frequent electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this job, you need to use one switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it is really only a make any difference of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan to the black wire on the switch. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire really should be related for the black wire of your switch in addition.
You will find causes why these are generally by far the most generally requested electrical wiring questions. Just one, a lot of assume it truly is simple to do, and two, these are typically the popular electrical jobs at your home. But then you definately mustn't set your security in danger inside your purpose to economize. The stakes could even be a lot better when you attempt to save money and do an electrical wiring job devoid of sufficient awareness or experience.

The last year has been a turbulent one for perennial everyman group Old Crow Medicine Show. Their career, especially with the most recent release, Carry Me Back has seen more success than the members could ever have dreamed of, but this has come at cost.
Exactly a year ago this month it seemed as if there would be no more OCMS with the quiet announcement on their website that the group was on hiatus. Shows were canceled, and up into 2012 there was little word from the band on whether there would continue to be a band. But then a strange thing happened. Critter Fuqua, an original founding member rejoined the group from the certain obscurity of solo projects. Fair enough, but as touring resumed another longtime member was conspicuously absent. An additional quiet post notified fans via their website OCMS would be parting ways with Willy Watson. Bands break up and lose members all the time. This is nothing new, but to consider Mr. Watson was not only the lead singer but also wrote a near majority of the groups material. It leaves one to wonder what the hell exactly happened–a listen to the new album only furthers this confusion.
Politics are politics, whether they be on a national agenda between two diametrically opposed political candidates in an election year or within the confines of a band discovered by chance busking outside a drugstore, who only became minorly famous through half-pirated Dylan lyrics. In either instance, it will be years before the dust settles and the truth surfaces on the reality of the situation. What is apparent at the moment, is the stink created within the fan base by the separation with Willy Watson. To OCMS devotees, this is the equivalent of the Beatles quietly parting ways with John Lennon. Sure McCartney, see Ketch Secor, can and does write good songs, but there is an undeniable aspect of imagination and soul that lies securely outside his abilities. A listen to Carry Me Back reveals this.
Taken as a whole, the album is a fine piece of work. It really is. There is nothing about the project done in poor taste or without thought, but then again, there's nothing about the record to pull you into the joy and pathos of past OCMS albums. Take for instance the track "Levi." It's narrative piece that follows the life and death of the protagonist from boyhood to an early death bleeding out in the sand of Iraq. Its a decent song by its own merits, but then take it and compare it to similar themes found in "Methamphetamine," off of Tennessee Pusher. The former is a straight forward critique of the war, and it shouldn't go without mention that that protagonist wasn't some flight of fancy, rather is based on a real soldier who was really shot to death during Operation Iraqi Freedom. See the chorus:
"Levi, Lord they shot him down/
10,000 miles from a southern town."
This is fine and well, if not adroitly direct. Now compare it to a line from "Methamphetamine," a subversive explanation concerning the draw of such stimulants to the nations impoverished.
"Cos when it's either a mine or the Kentucky National Guard
I'd rather sell him a line than be dying in the coal yards."
The song containing the second line is comparable to Nabokov's Lolita. It neither asks you to condone or understand a sinister act, but it does go a great length to paint the extenuating factors most will never glimpse. The first instance off the latest album doesn't require much thought and though it tugs at the heart strings because of real world implications, it merely has a decent message–"war is a horrible thing"–combined with the potential for mass appeal.
Perhaps mass appeal is the design behind Carry Me Back. The album is certainly the groups best selling, placing on more than the sorely overlooked Bluegrass charts unlike past albums. It is also interesting to note its release through Dave Mathews' own ATO label as opposed to Nettwerk which had carried the group the entirety of its career.
On Carry Me Back, the highs aren't as ecstatic as we have come to expect from classic OCMS, and neither are the lows so bone crushing. There are a number of sing alongs, a tune or two such as openers "Carry Me Back," and "We Don't Grow Tobacco," that are fine enough by their own merits, but the album as a whole suffers for inspiration, especially the latter half. For long time listeners, Willy Watson's high lonesome vocals are sorely missed.
With all the recent changes, the bigger label and greater exposure, the quiet shifting of positions within the group screams to imply a power struggle. Its hard to listen to the album and not get some sense of a political atmosphere. There remains a definite sense of the everyman struggle, and a signature prewar sound that has become the band's hallmark, but much like a campaign spiraling out of control as election day nears Carry Me Back seems like its trying too hard to sell itself to too many people.
Raymond E. Lee
Raymond E. Lee's intentions are pure. He writes for money, pussy and fame. Broke, single and unknown his work is comparable to your father's drunken rants at the television.

The Harder They Come Blu-ray Review
In 1972 a record came out called The Harder They Come. It was one of the most influential recordings of all time. It brought Reggae and Ska to an American audience. It was so immensely popular both her and in Jamaica it ranks 119 on Rolling Stones greatest albums of all-time list. It took a form of music that was at the time only played in Jamaica and made it an international success. Jimmy Cliff, the man responsible for the music was granted the highest honor that can be given from the Jamaican government for his work. He is one of only two musicians to hold the Order of Merit. And this album in question is actually a simple soundtrack from the film The Harder They Come.
The Harder They Come stars singer Jimmy Cliff as Ivan Martin. He has just moved to Kingston Jamaica to live with his mother when he meets a man named Jose who take shim to see Django. The original Django, the best western ever made. He loves it and begins to love big city living, as he came from a small town. He manages to get a couple odd jobs, working for a church and running errand for a record producer. He finds and rebuilds an old bicycle for a means of transportation. He also writes songs. One of those is called "The Harder They Come" He ends up recording it for a record company but only makes $20.00. He needs money so Jose gets him a job selling weed.
Things are going good for Ivan until he demands more money from Jose for all the work he is doing. Jose doesn't take kindly to this and sets Ivan up to get busted on his next deal. Things go south when the cop stops him, but Ivan grabs a gun and shoots the cop. He escapes only to be cornered again by multiple cops who he shoots down. Not only does the heat get turned up high on Ivan, but on all the other drug dealers in the area who are shaken down by the cops looking for Ivan.
Now as all of this is going on the record company decides to start playing his song as he is now basically a local celebrity for being a cop killer. The song hits it big, thus creating even more pressure on Ivan to escape the country. So he can hopefully live out the life of a Reggae superstar.
Filmed in Jamaica on a small budget the film was an instant hit. The accents in the film are so strong that when the film made its way to the states subtitles were actually added. It was a big hit during the midnight movie boom of the 70's in NY and was praised by critics and fans alike. Its considered a classic and it has been updated to not only a novel, but as a stage play in the UK as well. The soundtrack, as I stated in the beginning was a hit that brought Reggae music into American culture.
Cliff, who had not acted before this film was absolutely fantastic as Ivan. He gives a great performance and even came to the states to perform on Saturday Night Live in 1975. He did not pursue acting as his main focus unfortunately and continued to concentrate on his music career, which was incredibly successful. He recorded man albums that were both popular here as well as in Jamaica. He even worked on the Hakuna Matata song from the Lion King soundtrack. And for genre fans he was also heard in the Steven Seagal masterpiece Marked For Death.
The Harder They Come has had many various releases on home video here in the states, but now its getting the full treatment it so richly deserves. Shout Factory under their Shout Select Banner has picked this up and given it the collectors edition it needs. The video is simply outstanding. It looks as though it was filmed yesterday with digital camera its so clean. The audio, especially the soundtrack thunders through your speakers. This is a beautiful release of a classic film, that Shout Factory is famous for. And not only do you get a ton of extras on this 3 disc set you even get director Perry Henzels lost film No Place Like Home. Look at all of this

Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter Builds Local Connections after Pandemic Shutdowns
Dominik Doemer
"I was thrilled to meet with SSN scholars because timely, insightful commentary from academics is a critical part of our state's ongoing dialogue about important issues." - Ryan Sanders, Commentary Editor, Dallas Morning News
The Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas has been growing for years. With a population of over six million, it is an economic powerhouse and a diverse part of the state that is constantly evolving. That's exactly why Dallas-Fort Worth SSN chapter leader Eugenia Gorina was excited to help build out the chapter this year.
"North Texas is a region that is very economically and socially vibrant. But the area is also grappling with the impacts of fast economic growth and a variety of social and political challenges that come with that, from school finance to the energy transitions," she told SSN. "So in developing this chapter, I have a vision that the conversation between academics, policymakers, and also general audiences here can be more robust. The region has the potential to shape itself in ways that are reflective of fundamental democratic values and social and economic progress, and academics can play a big role in that."
Eugenia Gorina
The idea for a Dallas-Fort Worth chapter started in late 2019 when SSN hosted an in-person policy workshop for scholars in the area. The event brought together researchers from universities across the region to learn about how their work could impact policy, both federally and in their backyard. But when the COVID pandemic hit just a few months after the workshop, it shut down any subsequent in-person gatherings and put an extra strain on the capacity of engaged local scholars, making organizing a new chapter a difficult task. Nevertheless, SSN members including Alex Piquero, Meghna Sabharwal, and Timothy Bray helped to start the chapter amidst the upheaval caused by the pandemic and laid the groundwork for what's to come.
Now, a couple of years later, the Dallas-Fort Worth SSN chapter is building momentum with Eugenia Gorina and Timothy Bray as co-leaders. And to start things off, the new chapter organized an OpEd writing workshop that taught local academics how to translate their research into compelling and timely opinion pieces for news outlets. The workshop featured two editors from the local Dallas Morning News, the top newspaper for the region, who share Gorina's vision for the role academics can and should play in north Texas' future:
"I was thrilled to meet with SSN scholars because timely, insightful commentary from academics is a critical part of our state's ongoing dialogue about important issues," said Ryan Sanders, Commentary Editor for the Dallas Morning News. "Researchers provide data-informed, non-partisan opinions on policies that affect our readers. The better informed readers are, the better our journalism is. The better informed voters are, the stronger our democracy becomes. This is what we need more of!"
The mission of SSN is also something that directly speaks to Gorina's research interests and areas of expertise. As an Associate Professor of Public and Nonprofit Management at UT Dallas, Gorina researches government financial sustainability, including work on city fiscal health, as well as work on migration and its economic and social effects. "In my research, I definitely see the value of sharing with people professional knowledge on how the state that many Texans are used to seeing rather negatively is in fact fundamentally important to the working of society," Gorina said.
Looking forward to the spring semester, Gorina and Bray are excited to once again bring researchers together for an in-person policy engagement workshop similar to the workshop that kicked off the first efforts at organizing a Dallas-Fort Worth chapter years ago. The chapter also hopes to build their relationship with the Dallas Morning News to offer more opportunities for local researchers to share evidence-based arguments on some of the top issues in the state. And at the same time, Gorina and Bray are conducting outreach to local civic organizations, policymakers, and scholars to build out the network of the chapter, including organizing roundtables on some of the top issues in the region, like k-12 school funding. With the many changes that the north Texas region is experiencing, the chapter hopes to bring research and evidence to bear on critical policy decisions that need to be made in response.

Now featuring Ethan Hawke, Ansel Elgort, Jack O'Connell and Miles Teller.
After casting Gemma Ward and Julia Nobis for their women's campaign in spring, Prada chose to go in a less nostalgic direction with their men's ads. Enrolling a cast of Hollywood stars such as Ethan Hawke, Ansel Elgort, Jack O'Connell and Miles Teller for spring, the images were shot by Craig McDean. The campaign features our favourite stars handling daily household objects with an intensive degree of focus. Because why feel the tangerine with your hands when you can use a knife?


Last Monday, Megan (SDMF Marketing Manager), Maddy (Events) and I drove down to the Southern Highlands to visit Triple Care Farm. This was an important trip for me, as the current Volunteer Marketing Assistant, because it 'put a face to a name' and I saw firsthand the cause that I have been working for and the impact that it has on real people, not just the statistics I've read.
My sense of anticipation on the drive down was balanced by the lovely weather which heightened the programs unique and comforting environment. First of all, the facilities were spread out encouraging me to appreciate the surroundings as we moved from the main building, to the gym and then to the music rooms. When we walked around, our Visitor passes allowed us to act like flies on the wall and see first hand the students working on individual projects. One of the girls, who was about my age, was building a book shelf for her 1yr old nephew while one of the boys over in the garage was working on a toolbox.
I found the integration with the surroundings really special. Not only was there an orchard, but also small herb gardens for the students to look after. This brought together a sense of responsibility and feelings of reward as the results were visualised. The presence of horses and chickens detracted from any sense of isolation while we walked around.
As I was shown around the day program I was continually surprised by the practicality of almost everything. For example the sandpit in the classroom was there in case the students got fidgety.
During the visit to the detox program at David Martin Place I learnt a lot. The facilities were incredible. It took me a moment to get my head around the resources required for the detoxing process. Each bedroom was fully equipped with technology that could be adjusted to suit individual needs whilst maintaining an extremely safe environment. This includes air conditioning and heating, a rain shower head built into the ceiling, and cardboard coat hangers. I found it a bit confronting that the guys I spoke to who were so calm and friendly but were also relying on the support of the nurses to get through this challenge which was an example of how strong they are. They shared stories from their stay about kangaroos coming all the way up to the house and how they had seen a wombat for the first time.
The staff were so in touch with the program which I guess is a key to its success. They shared jokes with the students about who the champion of Uno was and how they taught the students to bake coconut cookies.
By the end of the day I realised the multifaceted nature of the rehabilitation program and the importance to nurture every aspect of it. It was great to see how lives are being changed here.

FHProductionHK is a Hong Kong YouTube channel. Started in 2012, the channel produces comedic videos that focus on social issues in Hong Kong.

It was created by Darren Cheng and Kenrick Ho who wear bear masks to hide their faces from the audience. Cheng wears a Teddy Head mask () from the Japanese fictional bear Rilakkuma, while Ho wears a Stitch or Blue Head mask (). FHProductionHK has a large following from people in the post-90s generation. The channel's videos are inspired by Stephen Chow and Hollywood films.

FHProductionHK makes money through receiving YouTube advertisement revenue and producing sponsored videos. FHProductionHK's videos have repeatedly been ranked in YouTube's yearly "Hong Kong Top Ten Trending Original Videos", including in 2014 when its video "My Days As a Student in Hong Kong (Part 1)" () ranked first.

History
FHProductionHK is a YouTube channel created on 19 January 2012 by the Hongkongers Darren Cheng and Kenrick Ho, who had been acquaintances for over a decade. They chose to include "Production" in the name since they thought it sounded powerful. The pair always wear masks to hide their appearances. Cheng assumes the role of Teddy Head () while Ho assumes the role of Stitch () or Blue Head (). Cheng puts on a Rilakkuma mask from a Japanese fictional bear. They do this owing to Ho's shyness and disinclination to showing his face on camera, as well as Cheng's desire to match Ho. Cheng said he does not want viewers to believe he is trying to become famous. FHProductionHK used to have an office at the iPlace industrial building in Kwai Chung.

By 2013, the duo had produced 18 comedy videos focused on adolescent life and had achieved a large following from people in the post-90s generation. To film their videos, they used a digital camera affixed with adhesive tape to a piano stand as their tripod. Cheng and Ho relied on an online forum to conjure topics for their videos that appeal to their audience. Cheng, who had been a science student at the City University of Hong Kong, frequently included science topics in his skits. He routinely used a stream of convoluted statements to go into detail about straightforward scientific concepts. Cheng's short videos are inspired by the Hong Kong actor Stephen Chow and the longer ones by Hollywood films. Ho made vlogs about how Hong Kong people had wages in the tens of thousands and explored whether they needed to find part-time jobs. Additional vlogs he made were about delivering takeout, collecting cardboard, and aggressively buying crunchy chicken wings to eat after making  (US$). Their most viewed video by 2013 had received nearly 700,000views and was titled "Boys Have a Say 2", a satirical video of an adolescent boy complaining about his annoying girlfriend. In 2014, they started talks with an artist management company with the aim of entering the entertainment industry. The talks did not go smoothly, so they did not ink an agreement with the company. Instead, they established a company to self-manage their channel.

The South China Morning Post said in 2013 that FHProductionHK "takes on current issues and social phenomena by delivering a hilarious minutes-long speech". According to HK01, FHProductionHK "has a humorous style and down-to-earth material". The Oriental Daily News said the channel's videos were "hilarious and mo lei tau" and "down-to-earth pieces that reflected the aspirations of young people". East Week found in 2015 that "the cartoon headpieces give people a deep and special impression" and FHProductionHK "is highly sought after by netizens because of its thought-provoking sharing of sentiments". The Hong Kong Economic Times in 2015 cited the channel's comedic video "My Days As a Student in Hong Kong" () as providing a great answer to a relative's question to a student, "You're studying that branch of study. How will you make money in the future?"

In 2016, the channel had a four-figure advertising revenue from YouTube, which Ho said was challenging for them to make a living on. As Hong Kong has a small number of residents compared to other areas and as the channel makes Cantonese videos, it has fewer viewers and thus revenue compared to foreign channels and channels that made videos in English. In 2019, the channel had over 500,000subscribers and its videos routinely had hundreds of thousands of views with some videos reaching twomillion views. By 2019, compared to its earlier years, the channel's YouTube videos had a significant decrease in views down to a few hundred thousand. It previously made one video per month but in 2018 had released only seven or eight.

On 18 June 2019, Teddy Head made a video titled "The Use of Two Million and One People" () that he posted on YouTube and Facebook reminding Hongkongers to register to vote in time for the 2019 District Council elections. The title referred to the number of people that demonstrators said had attended the 16 June 2019 protest against the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill. In the last minute of his video, he played a song from Hinry Lau as background music and the Hong Kong Economic Times said the video "seemed to mourn the 15 June death of a protester at the Pacific Place". On 8 September 2019, Cheng and Ho formed a team called "Chicken Wings Two Bears" () to take part in Hong Kong Wing Day, which with 579participants broke the Guinness World Records for the "most people grilling/barbecuing simultaneously". At the event, they participated in a competition to roast the most delicious chicken wings where they received a popularity award. At the D2 Place shopping mall at the Lunar New Year Festival in 2021, FHProductionHK set up a stall where it sold Teddy Head and Stitch eye covers.

Members
 Darren Cheng (born in 1991 or 1992) plays the role of Teddy Head () and is a co-founder of FHProductionHK. Around the beginning of 2015, he dropped out of City University of Hong Kong in the final year before he would have received his associates degree to focus on making videos full-time for FHProductionHK. His family and friends largely advised him not to drop out since they thought that if his chosen path did not go well, he could have still fallen back on his university degree. In his first involvement in a movie, Cheng did dubbing work for the animated film The Queen's Corgi. Cheng has a speech habit of mispronouncing his words which FHProductionHK viewers could have thought was caused by the headgear he wore muffling the sound. During his dubbing work for The Queen's Corgi, he had to redo scenes dozens of times owing to mispronunciations.
 Kenrich Ho plays the role of Stitch () or Blue Head () and is a co-founder of FHProductionHK. Around 2016, he graduated from university.
 To Siu Kiu (; born 1990) began acting in FHProductionHK skits in 2013. Cheng has known To Siu-kiu since around 2009. She routinely plays the Kong girl role in the skits. She plays the role of Guanyin, who recruits soldiers, which led to viewers' giving her the nickname "Little Kiu Lady" (). After she starred in the skits "My Days of Being a Soldier in Hong Kong (Part 1, Part 2)" () and "Men Have Something to Say" (), she became a hit. She entered the entertainment industry, performing in movies and television shows as well as in ads for PlayStation and Hong Kong Airlines. Cheng appeared in RTHK, Now TV, and HKTV shows and hosted the ViuTV travel show Outside In ().
 Me Chan () has starred in FHProductionHK videos and is a makeup artist for the channel. She appeared in the skits "The Day of Confessing Love in Hong Kong" (), "The Diary of a Despicable Man Who Is Out of Love" (), and "Women Have Something to Say 2" (). Weekend Weekly said that she gives off the girl next door vibe through her "adorable appearance, sunshine smile, sweetness, and approachable personality".
 Krysella Wong (), known as 波波, performs in FHProductionHK skits.
 Bie Lam (; born in 1992 or 1993), known as 阿Bie, is a model and host. She performed in the FHProductionHK skits "Hong Kong Children's Role Models" (), "My Days of Being Attacked Online" (), and "If I Became a Woman" (). She attended university where she received a degree in journalism and communication. During her university studies, she did freelance film shoots. Her first full-time job after graduation was as a real estate agent which she did until mid-2019 before resigning to pursue becoming an actress. Lam played a female student in the TVB series The Man Who Kills Troubles () starring Vincent Wong and Natalie Tong. It was Lam's debut appearance in a TV series which she landed after the casting team had sought new faces.

Short films and videos
In 2014, FHProductionHK made a short skit with the actress Yuen Qiu in which she played a landlady. Around 2014, co-founders Cheng and Ho invested between  and  (US$ and US$) into making the romance film One Day (). It is a film with romantic vignettes filled with both joy and sorrow and is founded on collective memory. One Day took four months to film. The film is influenced by the Stephen Chow film A Chinese Odyssey and used ideas from numerous foreign works. An Apple Daily review said that "as short film, it is already very smooth" but that the film could be improved through having a more realistic campus. It noted that the classrooms were too empty and could have had more students and a fuller set.

In 2019, Cheng invested  (US$) into making the short film My Small Ghost Soldier (). He has not sought outside funding for his short films. To Siu Kiu stars as an exorcist and Cheng as a ghost in the comedic and romantic film where the two fall in love. The film is slightly over 30 minutes long. In the film, there is a 30-second long segment where To is chained and has her chest grabbed by the ghost whose hands belong to an actress. FHProductionHK released a video titled "Poor Person's Entire Life" () around 2019 where the protagonist is at a loss for what to do, and his mom tells him to do well in school. The film raises questions about whether being able to immigrate is the motivation for studying well and making good money.

YouTube rankings
In 2014, five of the channel's videos were ranked on the "YouTube Hong Kong 2014 Top Ten Trending Original Videos" list. "My Days As a Student in Hong Kong (Part 1)" (), "Women Have Something to Say" (), "My Days As a Student in Hong Kong (Part 2)" (), "Teddy Head Big Prank" (), and "I am From YouTube" () ranked first, third, sixth, seventh, and ninth, respectively. Two of FHProductionHK's videos ranked on the 2015 list: "The days that I chase after girls in Hong Kong" (), which ranked second, and "Modern Hong Kong story" (), which ranked tenth.

In 2016, the channel's video "My Breaking Up Story in Hong Kong-First Volume" () was ranked first in the "YouTube Hong Kong 2016 Top Ten Trending Original Videos" list. Having accrued 800,000 views, the video analysed how men and women interact with each other and depicted the various sad feelings Hong Kong men had when they experienced a breakup. Two of its other videos were included in the list, namely "My Days of Saving Money in Hong Kong" (), which ranked second, and "Single for 20 Years: You Ask, I Answer" (), which ranked fifth. The channel uploaded a video titled "My Days of Retiring in Hong Kong" () that ranked second on the list in 2017 and had over a million views. It instructed men about the actions they should take when they liked a woman. In 2018, three of the channel's videos were included in the same YouTube top ten list: the 10-minute video "Fate" (), which ranked third, the roughly 30-minute video "My Small Ghost Soldier" (), which ranked fourth, and the 10-minute comedic video that touches on destiny titled "Giving up on someone" (), which ranked fifth. FHProductionHK's video "Dama's Logic" (), which ranked eighth on the list in 2019, mocked how strained relationships are between Chinese Damas and Hong Kong inhabitants. The locals in the video bemoaned that the Damas were a nuisance after the Damas played noisy music while they singing and dancing in the road. The video further touches upon the conflicts between Hongkongers and the Hong Kong Police Force during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests.

Sponsored videos
FHProductionHK received requests from brands to make sponsored videos. The videos are posted on YouTube and Facebook. Cheng said that although viewers would rather they not make such videos, they believed viewers would be placated as long as the videos were done well. He said that advertisers paid the channel to do a hard sell of the products and that he had no choice as he needed to make a living. The advertisement videos received criticism from some netizens, but the three advertisements they had made by early 2015 had a negligibly smaller number of views compared to their other videos. The three advertisement videos were "Women Have Something to Say" (), "Time Is Unable to Be Seized" (), and "I am From YouTube" (). FHProductionHK made an advertisement for McDonald's called "Super Chef Competition" (). The channel's primary way to make money is through creating advertisements. Typically half of its advertisement production revenue goes to costs. Over half of the costs is allocated to filming and post-production which is more than what they spend on the rent for an office. Beginning in 2017, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) collaborated with FHProductionHK to make suicide prevention videos after several students had killed themselves in the preceding school year.

Q: 'Socket connection error' when debugging PHP/JS on Aptana 3 I'm having a problem debugging PHP with JS code through Aptana Studio. Although there were a few people that are having similar problems. I still couldn't figure out the solution.
Aptana Studio Version is 3, build 3.1.3.2
I have MAMP installed on my Mac and I was able to run (not debug) my PHP website from Aptana (I needed to change the Server to 'Use base URL: http://localhost' for my website to run)
I have installed Aptana Debugger 1.7.2 and Firebug 1.10.0 on my Firefox 14.0.1
However, when I try and debug my website, I get a window that says:
Aptana Firefox extension launching...please wait.
Then (after few seconds) I get the error message:
'Launching Firefox - Internal Server' has encountered a problem.
Socket connection error. Please try shutting down and restarting your web browser, and then run 'debug' again'
I restarted my firefox but no dice.

A: Remove Firebug before starting the Aptana debugger. Aptana will install both the Aptana Debugger and Firebug 1.8.3 for you.
To make sure Firebug doesn't update to 1.10, go to "Tools > Add-ons > Firebug 1.8.3 > More", and turn off automatic updates.

A: Had the same error when using Firebug 1.10, which is not compatible with the Aptana Debugger Firefox add-on.
What you need to do: Go to Firefox Add-ons and disable/uninstall Firebug 1.10, and instead enable Firebug 1.8 and the Aptana debugger extension instead.

Yes, JFK Jr did in fact use Forever In My Life for the first dance at his wedding A beautiful and heartfelt love song that never gets old ❤
Didn't Prince perform it himself?
No, Prince did not attend the wedding. They just played the song, or possibly had a band play it.
Prince, during his 1996 appearance on Oprah, played the beginning of the song on his Piano when Oprah asked him to play something for her. He then mentioned that JFK played it at his wedding - I think he had recently wed Caroline.

Considering who the song is about and when it was written, probably just a kind way of saying he cares about her a whole lot and always will whether he's in love with her or not.
It means that he loves her so much, and she means so much to him that he needs a stronger or better word than "love" to tell her how he feels about her.

Didn't Mayte do a version of TMBGITW where it was changed to "Most Beautiful BOY in the World"? Or am I just crazy, and have disremembered this? I am almost sure it was on a You Tube video...
It's true. It was on her "Child of the Sun" album.

I selected "Forever in My Life" for the wedding mix CD that we gave as a party favor at our reception. (Unfortunately, it didn't work out to be forever, but never mind that.)
laytonian
I think the answer begins and ends with "Forever In My Life."
^^^^^ This.
Its musicality and depth come from simple words and it doesn't ramble like "Adore" (which does nothing to me).
Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.
laytonian said:
YES!!!! It says everything about the depth of his love without any added filler. That drum beat gets me every time. And when he did the mash up with IT and the "it's gonna be alright" chant it just makes it the perfect love song.
You know it's a decent love song if JFK Jr chose it as the song for the first dance at his wedding!! 😍 💜
WhisperingDand
elions
"Forever in My Life" always felt a little egotistical to me, referring to his love in the broader context of his own life's trajectory/journey (self), whereas "Adore" is purely about the object of his affection with no caveats (or, totally about another).
[Edited 10/24/19 17:23pm]
Yeah, I dunno, I know everyone loves citing JFK Jr. 'til the end of time, but that first verse and the constant references to "man's journey". You really wanna start of your marriage reminding your significant other of your old days fooling around, juggling hearts, driving "a body to the ground"? Just cut to the chase and talk about her and only her.... not how you're a man merely afraid to "walk on his own".... I mean I dig the beat, but as a romantic sentiment I almost get "Cream" singing in the mirror vibes.... Telling himself "don't be afraid." This is like the song you put on the morning after your bachelor party to convince yourself to go through with it, amidst a first-verse of almost passive-aggressive self-congratulation/borderline regret.
I think it can be pulled off if you're a Prince, or a JFK Jr. or like... a Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, Will Smith in Hitch type. Like if you're rocking that James Bond Smash Adams aesthetic. But for Joe Six-Pack man on the street it sounds a tad lofty... maybe it's just me.
WhisperingDandelions said:
Oh, I disagree. I love the confessional at the start of the song. It emphasizes the fact that he always intended to be a playboy or to "juggle hearts", but that changed when he fell in love with her "I never imagined love would rain on me" - it's a confessional. He's being completely honest about his life and feelings.
I also think it's far from an egotistical song. The lyrics "you are my savior, you are my light", and "you are my hero, you are my future, when I am with you I have no past" are beautiful sentiments toward her. Not sure how much more endearing he could get.
The deep drumbeat and acoustic guitar combo is Prince completely stripped down, which was very unusual for him and makes it more special. It was him baring his heart and feelings. I love every live performance of this, especially the 3/87 show at First Ave. Really emotional performance.
steakfinger
Jughead comes to mind.
Right--but this is why I don't really think it works for anybody who isn't a notorious playboy like a Prince, or a JFK Jr., or a suave movie star. The opening lines make it definitively about Prince in the context of Prince's life. Hardly applicable to the average Joe in a standard marriage where monogamy is the order of the day, not the exception to the rule... I mean it's worth noting the playboy qualities so exude from the lyrics that the character of the person singing song never actually did get married after all--he hopped right back into that "three-ring circus."
Yeah, but, that's much later in the song after he already reminded his future wife of the Felix the Cat endless bag of booty he's turning down in order to be with her, with the constant refrains about "man's journey."
I dunno, I feel like a more romantic sentiment would get direct to the point--the object of his affection--exactly like "Adore" does. No meandering about giving up his playboy life, just completely about love. "Forever in My Life" provides a context that feels wholly exclusive to Prince and not average dude getting married.
See I feel "Crazy You" did this aesthetic more intimate and stripped down, musically at least, and that was right at the start of his career.
He hadn't been around enough to use the "juggling hearts" lyric in Crazy You though. I love the way he set it up in FIML, because he's saying "this is where I was before I met you, but being with you has made me want to stop that". Then he goes on to detail why he wants to be with her forever - all the things she is to him and what she brings to his life. He's saying she is what is good in his life.
I think all very fitting for wedding vows

Write your own marraige vows, not the words of someone else, and save the Pricne stuff for the dance(s). I'd say make your marriage yours and personal, epescially the vows.
WE went with "The One" for the first dance and busted out "Love" later on for a groom and bridesmaids number.
In full disclosure I'm divorced now but I made it 10 years so take any advice I give with a grain of salt and, of course, do what you want.
I just can't imagine using someone else's words to express my own feelings and promises, at least on that sort of stage where the stakes are so high. I've cribbed lyrics and done "I love you" mix tapes and shit but, personally, I think your wedding should primarily be an expression of yourself.

Right. JFK Jr used FIML as the first dance song, which is great. Vows should be specific and personal to the couple and their own story.

The wise 1 who understood the law
That was handed down from God long ago
Reflected the true meaning 2 his woman every day
And she surrendered her discerning of it n2 his care and keeping
Because she trusted he would lead the right way
Her children n subjection 2 her and she n subjection 2 the wise 1
The wise 1 n subjection 2 the almighty God
And 4ever is n subjection 2 God
I've Never felt a love that runs so deep
The way we communicate is in the way we breathe
U told me "This is the safest place u'll ever be"
So tie me down, i'm ready
I wonder if i'm the only wisdom that u seek
Open me up, i'll be the best book u'll ever read
If beauty and presence and power were the key
So, stop the car, i'm ready
I question if this is how it feels to be alive
I see ur spirit smile in between ur sighs
Pick me up, wash me down with the color of ur eyes
So if i die 2nite, i'm ready
There will never be nothing more
There is nothing
Bring out the child that resides untamed
Tho our bodies age, the fire still remains
And with each rising sun, our souls interwoven and this is what i call Heaven

Disney's been working through its back catalog of animated films, releasing them one-by-one onto Blu-ray, many presented at home for the first time ever in high definition. The most beloved are receiving special treatments, often dubbed Diamond Editions, with exciting new bonus features packed into multi-disc releases. But that's not the case for all of Disney's new-to-Blu-ray films, as the less popular (or, at least, less marketed) ones are being pushed onto shelves with little more than the films themselves.
Such is the case for three of Disney's animated works that made it onto Blu-ray last week.
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is one of Disney's most underrated films, a masterpiece in art style and musicality. Beginning instantly with the grand opening notes that lead off the film and Alan Menken's unforgettable soundtrack, this film is beautifully presented in its new format. The attention to detail across this film's characters and backgrounds is staggering and its music earns a place in history alongside some of the greatest musical theater ever produced. On Blu-ray, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" has never looked or sounded better.
However, by contrast on the same disc, its direct-to-video sequel is downright awful in every respect. After playing the original and sequel back-to-back, it's immediately obvious how poor the second film looks, sounds, and plays out. With sloppy animation, "Hunchback II" looks more like an '80s Saturday morning cartoon than a feature-length Disney film. It's worth skipping entirely. There are no new bonus features to be found on this release, but fans of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" shouldn't let that stop them from picking this title up, as it's worth the purchase just for the wonderful quality of the original film.
Though "Mulan" is liked by many, it's never quite found its way into the hearts of the masses in the same ways that other Disney princess films have. But Mulan isn't your average Disney princess, taking troubles into her own hands instead of waiting for a prince to save her. It's a story of empowerment that's enjoyable and certainly memorable, even if time tends to forget it in the shadows of Disney's greats like "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty." On Blu-ray, "Mulan" looks good but also shows its unfortunate art decisions all too well. The film plays quite flat, with only simple gradients used to illustrate shading and shadows. After watching "Hunchback," the difference in level of detail is obvious. It's an entirely different art style that helped begin Disney's movement into the "Lilo and Stitch" era of animation.
But like "Hunchback," the direct-to-video sequel to "Mulan" isn't anything worth watching, immediately noticeable as a throwaway story as soon as it's revealed that it surrounds the notion of Mulan getting married. Also, Eddie Murphy's voice is absent, an important piece of the comedic puzzle from the original. And, again, no new bonus features are included, instead only recycling old ones from previous DVD releases. This Blu-ray release offers little to get excited about and owners of past "Mulan" DVDs may want to just stick to those.
"Brother Bear" was part of the temporary demise of Disney's hand drawn animation units. It was the last film to be animated at the then Disney-MGM Studios in Florida before that studio was shut down. And it never received much critical or fan acclaim. But those dark marks aside, "Brother Bear" is actually a good looking film, especially now presented on Blu-ray. The film itself is not great, but its vibrant colors make give a great "wow" factor to high definition displays.
It's worth noting that this Blu-ray release is presented in the film's original aspect ratios, beginning smaller at 1:78-1, widening to 2:33-1 after 24 minutes. That leaves the first several scenes looking rather tiny, surrounded by black bars on all sides, even on 16×9 widescreen TVs. This is surely to confuse those who don't understand the concept of aspect ratios, but it is an artistic decision made by the film's director, widening the scope of the visuals when the movie's big "transformation" takes place. "Brother Bear 2" looks strikingly like the original, release direct-to-video a couple years after. But it's not particularly memorable. Like the others above, this Blu-ray release again does not contain any new bonus features, only inheriting those from previous DVDs. "Brother Bear" is worth a watch, but is not necessarily a must-have.
All three releases are available now from Disney at major retailers on Blu-ray.
All three of these are fantastic releases. Yes. They are simple not offer a lot but they remain great.
I recently interviewed Dave THomas from Brother Bear and Paul Kandel from Hunchback and they personally were excited for these films to finally be getting HD release too.
I have to agree with your assessment of "Hunchback 2". The animation just isn't up-to-par with anything I'm typically familiar with by Disney. I'll still watch it some day, but I'll probably be thinking the whole way through…what did they do to this movie???
Great blog here! Also your website liads up fast! What host are you using?

Q: Backend под Linux Доброе время суток. Решили с другом начать изучать Веб. Он взял на себя frontend, я выбрал backend. В качестве ОС - Ubuntu Server 16.04.3. Вообще мало знакомы с Вебом. Подскажите, пожалуйста, какой язык лучше выбрать: Java или C# (на шарпе полтора года практики (WF, Unity3D), с Java недавно начал знакомиться (Minecraft Modding)) и какие особенности (трудности) с написанием под Linux (всю свою жизнь на Окнах сижу). По возможности можете порекомендовать гайды/туториалы/книги. Заранее спасибо.

A: На чет писать это уже решать вам решать, если знаком c#. Можно писать веб сервисы на Asp.net core.
Я бы сначала начал изучать веб, чем выбирать, так глобально.
