How it all started
"Rock Against Cancer" was an idea thought up by John "Grubby" Callis (sound engineer) Andy Scott (Sweet) and Richard Baulu of The Kings Arms, All Cannings in 2010, and after 2 years of planning we managed to launch the show back in 2012.
Our aim is to raise awareness and much needed funds for Cancer Charities and exceed the £50,000 target we set ourselves back in 2010. And also to make a large donation to local needs in and around All Cannings and the hope is that in the future they will be able to put different events on for local residents.
The last five years' success was fantastic and we've managed to raise over £152,500 for the charities so far – thanks to you all and the wonderful support of the artists that came to the sleepy village of All Cannings.
If you were lucky enough to go to one, or really fortunate and got to go to all of the previous concerts, you'll know what an exceptional event Concert at the Kings is. We have been privileged to have had some of the finest musicians join us, many of whom have truly shaped the course of music over the years.
Not many events can boast this many headline acts from the previous three years: Brian May, Roger Taylor, Jeff Beck, The Boomtown Rats, Squeeze, Lindisfarne, Howard Jones, Mike and the Mechanics, Midge Ure, 10CC, The SAS Band with special guests, The Straits, Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, Big Country, Los Pacaminos with Paul Young, The Sweet, Patti Russo, Suzi Quatro, Kerry Ellis, Animals and Friends, Benny Gallagher, Chris Thompson, Marmalade, The Fabbagirls, Kiki Dee, Madeline Bell, Fish, Tom Robinson, The Queen Extravaganza's Marc Martel, Dr Feelgood, The Blues Band, Georgie Fame, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich, The Strawbs, The Troggs, Jake Meekin, The Greasy Slicks, Funkin Skunks, Bad Sounds, Drench, Idlewood, Lauren Thalia, and Nellie Bell.
Hosted by Bob Harris, Johnnie Walker, Mike Read and Dan Chisholm – and all playing on hot, sunny days in a small village in Wiltshire.
By purchasing a ticket to "Concert At The Kings" you are already making a donation to cancer charities and a big thanks to everyone who has shown their support by doing this. By purchasing any merchandise, food, drink and other items that will be available at the event, will also add to what we can donate to the charities and the area's schools, churches and many more local causes.
John "Grubby" Callis and Andy Scott are still in the process of fighting prostate cancer so they both know more than most about how important this is to us all and to raise as much awareness as possible, We can make a change so please come and join us on another fantastic star-studded day.
A huge thanks to everyone who is supporting this event both near (All Cannings) and far (Scotland). You know who you are and Grubby, Andy and Richard hope to raise a glass in your honour come the big day.
We all know friends and family that have been affected by Cancer and realise the huge need for investment in research and support needed at this time and with all your help WE WILL BEAT THIS THING
Thank you once again and have a fun day
Grubby x, Richard and Andy.

Icon View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion
Icon view in Mac OS X Mountain Lion is a free-form view that allows you to move your icons around within a window to your heart's content. Check out the figure to see the icons in the Applications folder in Icon view.
To display a window in Icon view, click the Icon view button in the toolbar (shown in the margin), choose View→As Icons from the Finder's menu bar, or press cmd+1.
Learn to love the Icon Size control in the lower-right corner of Icon view windows or in the top-right corner when the Sidebar and Toolbar are hidden.
The Finder's View menu also offers a few commands that might help you glance through your icons more easily:
Clean Up: Choose this command to align icons to an invisible grid; you use it to keep your windows and Desktop neat and tidy. (If you like this invisible grid, don't forget that you can turn it on or off for the Desktop and individual windows by using View Options.)
Clean Up is available only in Icon view or when no windows are active. If no windows are active, the command instead cleans up your Desktop. (To deactivate all open windows, just click anywhere on the Desktop or close all open windows.)
If you've taken great pains to place icons carefully in specific places on your Desktop, cleaning up your Desktop destroys all your beautiful work and moves all your perfectly arranged icons. And, alas, cleaning up your Desktop is not something you can undo.
If any icons are selected (highlighted) when you pull down the View menu, you see Clean Up Selection rather than Clean Up. If you choose this command, it moves only the icons that are currently selected.
Clean Up By: This new command combines the tidiness of the Clean Up command with the organizational yumminess of the Arrange By command.
This command sorts the icons by your choice of criteria, namely:
Name (shortcut: cmd+Option+1)
Kind (shortcut: cmd+Option+2)
Date Modified (shortcut: cmd+Option+5)
Date Created (no shortcut)
Size (shortcut: cmd+Option+6)
Label (shortcut: cmd+Option+7)
It's similar to the Arrange By command, but this one's a one-time affair. After you've used it, you can move icons around and reorganize them any way you like.
Arrange By: This command rearranges the icons in the active window in your choice of nine ways, which happen to be the same nine options (ten if you count "None") in the Arrange pop-up menu.
Unlike Clean Up By, which is a one-shot command, Arrange By is persistent and will continue to reorganize your icons automatically. In other words, you can't move icons around manually in an arranged window.
One last thing: The Clean Up and Clean Up By commands are only available for windows viewed as icons; the Arrange By command is available in all four views and remains in effect if you switch to a different view or close the window.
To stop the Finder from arranging icons in a window, choose None from either the View→Arrange By submenu or the Toolbar's Arrange pop-up menu, or use the keyboard shortcut, cmd+Control+0.

The Apple Cider Boat - Absolute Ploughmania
The boys at the Apple have been working hard over the winter months. No longer do you have to leave the warmth of the sun to trundle into the depths of this converted Dutch barge to order yourself a pint. That's right, there's now an outside bar that will be used during the busy summer. When filled, the seating area outside this beloved cider venue (in fact it was voted best cider pub 2014) will resemble something of a Westcountry Oktoberfest, such is the increased scale of the place (note to self, form Wurzels / Oompah fusion band)... We popped along to The Apple (twice) to check out the new bar addition as well as sampling from this years crop of ploughman's lunches. I opted for the Frenchman's (Creamy French Brie, Murray's Duck & Peppercorn Pate, Onion Marmalade, Fig Relish, Pickled Onion along with an assortment of Biscuits, Herberts Farmhouse White bread and finished with Mixed Leaves and a Heck's Cider Vinegar Dressing. That list just about fit on the board (N.B ONE OF THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE TIMES TO USE A BOARD.)
I also took Shonette along, as she was knocking about the office complaining that I shouldn't ask her such high brow questions as "which Shakespearean ghost would you be" so early on in the week. Shonette opted for the Cheeseroller's (Westcountry Mature Cheddar, 1st Grade English Blue Stilton, Farmhouse Pickle, Apricot & Ginger Chutney, Pickled Onion, Assortment of Biscuits, Herberts Farmhouse White bread, with Mixed Leaves and a Heck's Cider Vinegar Dressing.)
Bristol Factoid: The most popular ploughman's so far this year at The Apple is actually the Spaniard's (Serano Ham, Mexicana Spicy Cheese, Wild Garlic and Basil mixed Olives, Red Pepper and Tomato Salsa, Chilli Jam, plus biscuits etc)
Whichever Ploughman's you choose, you won't be disappointed. At around £9 and boasting a wealth of locally sourced ingredients you could say that the value for money is Brie-lliant. The Cheeseroller left us... head over heels. I could go on and I will. It's ABSOLUTE PLOUGHMANIA. What a PICKLE we've found ourself in. Ok, I'm finished. Just grate... Shut up it's my blog...

originally published 6/1/2010
I made the proposed changes to my pattern. I'm pretty methodical about this. I use 9×12 envelopes to store my patterns in. On the outside I write things I want to remember. Like "use 5/8″ SA" . That's different from my usual SA. It may be months or years before I use a pattern again. I want something that will jog my memory that something is different. I also list on the right hand side any pattern alterations. My tops are pretty stand "remove 1′ from BW length; make 1″ narrow shoulder adj". So it's typical that I have 4-5 comments on the envelope fronts. But pants. My gosh, with pants I fill out the right hand colum flip the envelope over and start writing on the back. No I haven't ever filled up the back yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't filled up the front for these particular pants. But I did list the changes I wanted to make on the envelope and tick them off as the pattern was adjusted.
This is the 3rd pair from this pattern. I suspect I will wear the first 2 pairs several times and then discard them. The problem with perfecting a pattern with multiple versions is that eventually I don't want to wear the first versions. Nonetheless, I'm making small design changes to each pair. To the untrained eye, which is about 99% of America, it will look like I'm working a different pattern. This time I've traced off a pocket from a pair of RTW shorts. You know how black doesn't photo well? Dark brown doesn't either. So the photo I had, doesn't tell a story and I didn't bother to upload it. Oh how to describe it. It resembles a jean front pocket except that the opening is larger and the pocket is appliqued to the garment. It is a patch pocket. Typically, I fully line this type pocket with something very light and then turn it inside out so that I get nice smooth curves. My brown shorts pocket, has a facing at the hand edge. I thought this was very interesting. So I traced off the pocket, constructed a facing and stitched the two together. I topstitched with a gold colored thread (but not real jeans gold). It looks fabulous. Except now I'm looking at the other side wondering how am I going to get a nice smooth curve on that side. I had forgotten that I lined this type of pocket just because that was the easiest way for me to get a perfect curve. Oh let's face it, that was the only way I get a perfect curve. — In case this is a little vague, I stitch the pocket and lining right sides together along both curves leaving the top and side open. Press. Turn and press some more. — So now I'm looking at the pocket wondering how I'm going to get the other side to look good.
Unfortunately, I've had disruptions to my sewing. First I took the day to go to Lake Charles Francis. Lovely day, relaxing, mind clearing. I was under shade the entire time and have 2nd degree burns on the tops of my feet, front arms and directly under my chin. We think the lake must have reflected the light and burned those areas. I didn't feel it and DH didn't see me burning. End result is I've spent the last 3 days hidden in the house. Even going outisde makes my skin burn. Last night I was no longer lobster red, just red, and I started itching. So I'm healing. You'd think that would give me more sewing time. Well no. We had a hail storm that broke all windows on 2 sides of the house, beat the siding unmercifully and created 4 bad leaks in the basement. One of the leaks is in my sewing room. I spent one day just cleaning up the debrie and tried to use the carpet shampooer to suck up the rain water. The shampooer didn't suck very much, but the carpets are still horribly wet in those areas. I'm reluctant to sew at my electronic, computerized sewing machine while sitting with my feet on a puddle of water. Also, our house was a rental at onetime, converted to apartments for a while and now once again a single-family-dwelling OURS. We were told by the former owner that pets were not allowed. Period. People couldn't have pets and live in this house. Yet we are both clearly smelling cat urine. It is unmistakable. Even if the insurance company doesn't pay, we will be replacing those carpets. We are burning incense. You'd think we were a couple of hippies from the sixties. But no, we just trying to cover up the cat urine.
Back to the shorts. In addition to the patch pockets, I'm going to ease the front to the waistband instead of using the 2 tucks. I'm using a light blue rayon. Last fall I sorted fabrics again and this time I pulled out lengths that were under 2 yards and placed them in 1 of 3 stacks 1) under 1 yard 2) 1 yard 3) 1.5 yards
Since then I've really been working these small amounts. Now that I know where they are, if I need a small amount I look in one of these 3 stacks first. Shorts take between 1 and 1.25 yards. I went throught 1.5 stack and found a light blue rayon that has a linen look to it. I haven't done the burn test, but the drape and what I remember from the first garment I made tells me it's rayon not linen and not cotton and defintely not polyester. I probably would have made a blouse out of this, but because I need shorts and need material that I won't regret using, this fabric is becoming my next version. I suspect it will again look a little dressy. So I'm also changing the hem. I will turn up the hem only once, which will make the shorts just a little longer. At first I planned to straight stitch with matching thread. But now I'm thinking I should use the blind stitch. I am doing some contrast top stitching. Right now I think I will topstitch only the pockets and belt carriers. I want to be able to easily adjust the front waistband seam and the inseam. Too much topstitching and I'll give up on alterations/adjustments. Especially since I like to use the straight-triple stitch for topstitching.
Well, I hope I can report more progress tomorrow. First I've got to see if the carpet has dried out .

2010 Chihuahua Express: Injured Racer Update
Anonymous said...
I found this blog browsing and thought you should get latest news. In both cases you have reversed the pilot and copilot names. Luis Angel is in critical condition in ITU. Two surgeries have been carried out, one to assess brain swallowing and second to fix broken hip and arm. He's evolving positive after surgeries and with good chances. Gerardo is OK at home. Nanan mass service was last week and it was unbelievable the number of true friends that were there. Very emotional. Thanks

2010 Chihuahua Express: Day 2 (w/speed stage video clips & way too many photos)
I *think* the overall winners were Rodrigo and Rodolfo González in the green Maserati with Mockett/Fuentes winning the PanAm Class (3rd overall) and the #40 blue Studebaker 2nd in the PanAm Class (4th overall).
After last night's solemn race meeting, and the decision to continue racing, the morning was quiet as well.
Dennis and Eugen get ready for Day 2.
Thierry and Todd prep for the day.

Fer - famous as usual.
Thierry and Eric, rumored to be having fun.
At the first service stop Todd reminded me about the nail in the tire of the Cliquot Chico so I grabbed Christian Dumolin and told him about it. His crew knelt down by the tire and ran their hands over and shook their heads no at me. I said we could see it plain as day at the start of the speed stage and searched for the picture on my camera. The guys were pretty doubtful so I shrugged my shoulders and walked away. I stopped by about 10 minutes later and they had just removed the screw and the tire was leaking loudly. About a half hour later one of the mechanics handed me a shorn off screw and gave me a big smile and said thank you.
Todd had about 100 Matchbox race cars in the truck to give away. When we'd go slow (rare with Rene driving) through a small village we'd hand them to kids on the street. At the first service stop I stuffed a bunch in my pockets and handed them out. Like sharks tasting blood in the water, before I knew it I was surrounded by about 10 little boys, all asking for CARRITOS! I took them back to our truck and handed out the rest of them, hassling them a little bit by asking how many each wanted. Most of them said, "!TRES!" I'd argue a bit, just to practice my Spanish and tell them I already gave them 3. I gave them some of the 2009 LCP El Jefe postcards ("!TARJETAS!") and some K&N Filter stickers Steve Waldman's wife had given us.
The screw in the Cliquot Chico (Falcon) tire.
My new amigos, Brian and Kevin.

More of my new friends.
Eugen and Dennis taking off for more mountain speed stages.
While waiting for the speed stage ahead of us to open up we gave a Matchbox car to this little guy and his dad was very excited about the race, just opened this new restaurant called El Bandido and when I asked him if he could bring us a dozen tacos in 3 minutes, he said he needed 10. But we didn't have 10 minutes so it seemed it was goign to be another day without breakfast or lunch. We chatted with him, learned about how he came from Phoenix and his brother had a mechanic's shot there. After he left we were just about to take off and Todd suddenly took off his team shirt and said, "Go give this to our new friend." I hopped out of the truck, since the restaurant was on my side, ran inside and as I handed him the shirt he handed me a freshly prepared taco - he was just about to run it outside for me because I had told him I was really hungry. Great trade for me!!El Bandido Restaurante! Baja tacos yummmmm.
The final push to the Copper Canyon - more curvy, steep, mountain speed stages.
Marc and his broken Studebaker.
After a speed stage we came upon Marc Devis and his navigator on the side of the road. He broke some kind of steering rod and drove it like that through the last speed stage. He said he also lost all oil pressure so it seemed Marc's day was done, even though it wasn't noon yet. Too bad as he was in the lead yesterday for the Pan Am Class.
We had left our trailer back at the last gas station service stop since Dave and Brian were ahead at the Copper Canyon with a trailer. We checked on Marc, gave him some big bottles of water and said we would check on him on the way back, and if Dave's trailer was empty he could hop on. He said his crew was coming but we had not seen them all day, and we did not know them to ever travel with a trailer.
After quite a climb and hundreds of tricky curves we arrived at the Copper Canyon overlook - simply spectacular! The native Tarahumara Indians are beautiful people, brightly clothed and selling handmade baskets and jewelry, and bolts of colorful cloth. About half of the children don't wear shoes, or very minimal soles strapped on with rope. I remember the Tarahumaras coming to run the Leadville 100 Ultramarathon in Colorado......and winning without shoes!
From Wikipedia: The Rarámuri or Tarahumara are an indigenous people of northern Mexico, and are renowned for their long-distance running ability. Originally inhabitants of much of the state of Chihuahua, the Rarámuri retreated to the Copper Canyon in the Sierra Madre Occidental on the arrival of Spanish explorers in the sixteenth century. The area of the Sierra Madre Occidental which they now inhabit is often called the Sierra Tarahumara because of their presence.
Current estimates put the population of the Rarámuri in 2006 at between 50,000 and 70,000 people. Most still practice a traditional lifestyle, inhabiting natural shelters such as caves or cliff overhangs, as well as small cabins of wood or stone. Staple crops are corn and beans; however, many of the Rarámuri still practice transhumance, raising cattle, sheep, and goats. Almost all Rarámuri migrate in some form or another in the course of the year.
Second service stop of Day 2 on the rim of the Copper Canyon.
Tarahumara shoes.
Boys will be boys! I also love that his shirt says Ski Country. Another little boy had a shirt that said Ice Fishing.
Rene shops for bracelets the little girls were selling.
......"and the freedom of my spirit."
It was wonderful to be touristy for almost an hour - another thing we don't really get to do on the LCP. I walked to the edge of the canyon, wandered through the gorgeous lodge sitting on the edge, shopped a bit and purchased some bracelets, a necklace and a wall hanging of an elderly Tarahumara Indian.
After the final service we retraced our steps back. The Chihuahua Express is an out-and-back each day, and each day goes a different direction out from Chihuahua so there are three different landscapes to enjoy. Today has been the most enjoyable so far, I love this area and the people are so beautiful.
Not too long after departing the Copper Canyon rim we came upon two racers on the side of the road. As I mentioned earlier, it is always a welcome sight to see them, even if their car is out of sight, and even if the car is totalled. We always try to slow down or stop, depending on traffic, to find out if they need help. Often as they are waiting for their support vehicles they will give a thumbs up to passing vehicles. We were on a tight uphill curve and because of the heavy post-speed stage traffic, we couldn't see their vehicle. As we continued around the corner we saw their helmets resting upside down on road posts, then we spotted the blue Porsche that must have skipped a bit off the road and gotten hung up in the wicked and deep concrete gutters.
We continued along and as we approached El Bandido restaurant again, Todd offered to run in and get a dozen tacos while we went ahead a half mile to hook up the trailer again. We arrived at the same Pemex as several hours ago and my little friends were still there and still asking for CARRITOS. We were out and I felt bad, but that didn't stop them from continuing to ask.
Jake and Gerie with fake grumpy faces.
Todd listens to Eugen and Dennis.
More of my smiling amigos. I told them, "I'll see you next year!" and they looked at me like I was crazy.
When we caught up to the next speed stage the Touring Class was just taking off. I have to admit that I shook my head when I saw some of the cars with no safety equipment at all in the cars, just helmets. I backtracked to take this picture of a green Ford Fusion that I hadn't seen before.....and the driver wearing a motocross helmet. WTF. The Solana Corvette was two cars ahead of him; the Porsche was behind him.
I heard later that the Touring Class usually ran the stages before everyone else, but at some point during the day they were relegated to the back of the pack and they had to wait for quite a while.
The rest of the day went smoothly until we came upon the second fatal accident of the race, which I wrote about in an earlier post. There is not much to say, it is so sad and feels so unecessary.
I did hear that on the final transit of the day one race car towards the back of the regular pack was cruising at 90mph and passed by the Corvette pulled over on the side of the road. Not too much later they said the Corvette absolutely blew their doors off going about 90 mph faster than them. That is fast.
It might have sounded to someone like an exaggeration but it was not. The official account said the Corvette was going 280 kmh (175 mph). This on a transit on a two-lane divided highway with public traffic. Public traffic means normal speed cars and semis, farmers going slow in pickups, families going slow in tiny economy cars, people turning on to the highway, you name it. The guys then saw a large plume of smoke in the distance......they figured it was a dust tornado or a farmer plowing dusty fields. Unfortunately it was the fatal accident and they came upon it about a minute after it happened. Having EMT experience, the one guy didn't have to get very close to the Corvette to know there were no survivors. By this time there were other people on site moving towards the Porsche.
We came upon the crash site about 30 minutes later. Todd had been sleeping in the back seat and when I saw all of the cars my brain tried to convince me it was a lineup for the next speed stage, even though I knew full well we were done for the day. Funny how your brain tries to protect you with denial. I shook Todd's arm once and spoke but he didn't wake up. I looked up again as we got closer and Rene was saying, "Oh no...." I shook Todd again but got no response. But the third time I shook him harder as I knew it was a terrible accident and our hearts sank.
I am so sorry this had to happen.

Create your list Push to Amazon with 1 click Wait for sales Place orders with 1 click
Now you can sell tons of products on Amazon without any datafeeds!
Just create a list of items and push them in bulk to Amazon with just 1 click.
Then wait for orders to come in... It's really that easy!
During the months of May and June we tested our latest Amazon Dropship Tool to see if it would yield any results. We simply picked random categories and submitted a few thousand items.
To be clear, our Amazon account was brand new with no history of sales.
Well, in 2 months only we generated $5,175.47 in gross sales.
Amazon will capture the payments from your buyers for you. Once you have processed the order and once the tracking code is provided to Amazon, they will deposit your profits into your Bank account.
When you first signup for a Professional Amazon Seller account, you will be guided on how to link your account with your Bank so Amazon can deposit your profits.
One of the main advantages of our Amazon Dropship Plan is that we automate the import of tracking codes to your Amazon account. This means that tracking codes will be sent to your Amazon account as soon as they are provided by the supplier, thus you will avoid any delays.
As you know Amazon is very rigorous when it comes to shipping on time, so this feature will certainly help you keep Amazon happy at all time.
You will need to signup for a Professional Amazon Seller account.
You can signup for a professional amazon seller account using the URL below.
==> http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller-account/mm-product-page.html/ref=mm_sys_soa_pro_surl
Yes absoutely. You will be able to control the prices of items on your list with a global markup or by changing prices of items individually.
You will also be able to choose from various markup methods so you can fine tune the prices as you wish.
We will help you with each return request. You simply need to inform us of the order number and the reason for the return. We will also need to know if your buyer wants a refund or if your buyer prefers to return the item for an exchange.
Our team will then contact the supplier to get a RMA number along with the return address which we will pass on to you. You can then inform your Amazon buyer to follow the same instructions and a refund will be issued as per the supplier return policy once the item is received at their warehouse.
Once you have setup your markups and made changes to your prices, you will be able to see your estimated profits in your main list. You will also be able to sort your list by profit and apply bulk changes to fine tune your selling prices to meet your profit goals.
This feature is great because you will immediately see which items will yield positive profits and which ones will yield negative profits, in which case you can make an immediate change on those prices to address the issue.
Currently our Amazon plan is for USA and Canada Amazon accounts only, so with this plan you will only be able to sell in the USA and Canada. We can help you with orders in the USA and Canada. If you want to ship to other countries you will need to process your orders directly with the suppliers.
Not all our integrated suppliers provide UPC codes, which are requried in order to find products on Amazon. When you sell on Amazon you can only pick products from our list of suppliers that have UPC codes. This is the reason why not all items are available, however you can easily browse products by Amazon products only so you can quickly narrow down the products with UPC codes only.
Avoid the common problem of Amazon matching UPCs with the wrong ASIN
UPC codes are universal code numbers used throughout the markplaces however Amazon uses its own internal item numbers referred to as ASIN numbers. Amazon will try to match the UPC codes of your imported products to its own database of products to locate the corresponding ASIN number which is then used to display the item name and image. Occasionally Amazon will mistatch the UPC with the wrong ASIN number which can results in problems with pricing.
Our new Amazon Push tool fixes this issue in two ways
A) We pre-validate many of the items for Amazon by assigning the correct ASIN numbers to each item
B) You will also have the ability to validate your list of items by comparing items from your list with the Amazon product images and item names as matched using the UPC code.

Rule number one for air travel – check your flight before you leave for the airport. Of course, it helps if the airline actually lists that sort of information on the internet, or has an easy to call hotline. Ours doesn't. But, thats what your friendly hotel staff should be for, we just weren't that bright this morning.
Our Vietnam Airlines flight has been "delayed" nine hours – from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM. The staff said, "no problem, go to your gate and we will feed you lunch and dinner". Some how passing 9 hours on a chair and eating airport food didn't sound fun. So we went the taxi voucher route to the Dong Khoi district. I picked the district because I thought 1) we need to use the internet to contact our hotel (and ride) in Hanoi and let them know about the flight change, and 2) we need to pass a lot of time.
Traffic took care of an hour for us. Getting "directions" to an internet cafe ate up another hour, so it is now 11 AM. Still better than sitting in a terminal. Finding a net cafe was particularly hard – usually you can't swing a cat with out hitting a moto driver, a cyclo, and an internet cafe. But it was complicated by other factors…
I hadn't had to deal with the "face" aspect of Asia culture too much. Mostly just to keep things light when in negotiations. But today I think I've figured out another aspect of "face". If someone hesitates while giving directions and is a bit vague (general hand sweeps or points), then there might be a good chance that they are making it up. I'm assuming it is seen as better to give a wrong answer, than none at all.
Not knowing that some of the answers might not be so informative, we had a bit of a wild goose chase before we figured out we should only trust some answers. For the Harpers fans:
Saigon's Index for Internet Cafe directions
(aka the rough statistics for the last hour and a half)
- Total number of people asked for directions: 21
- Total number of people that gave directions: 20
- First person to give a correct answer: 11th person
- Total number of people that gave correct directions: 3
Good times.

How can I recover my crashed hard drive?
Episode 1517Skyler from
Skyler's laptop drive crashed during the saving of a large file. Now the drive can't be seen by the computer. He tried seeing it in SpinRite and it doesn't see it either. Leo says that laptop had a so-called "fusion drive" which was half hard drive, half SSD drive. The technology was designed in a time when SSD drives were too expensive, and it really wasn't that great performance wise. It could be the spinning drive died, or the SSD drive died. Try rebooting into your BIOS and see if the BIOS sees it. If it does, then it could be a software issue.

And then there are these two fairly new discs, which I actually got a few weeks ago.
The DR program is a known quantity from the radio broadcast of the concerts last year. It's remains a wonderful program; and I continue to wish someone would cast her as Vitellia again...soon...and somewhere I can hear her (and hopefully see her, too.) I also wonder, as her voice darkens wonderfully, if she (and any impresario) would consider taking on Dorabella. She'd be awesome in any variety of interpretations (insane, oversexed, neurotic, naïve, or any combination thereof.)
The GG program is completely new on my radar. Also, taken from live performances last year, this concert contains the usual suspects as far as arias go, but GG has made an effort to create a program with an overarching theme. While the DR concert had an entire Mozart piano concerto in the middle of it* (not included on the CD), GG's disperses the four movements of Symphony no. 36 throughout his program (and not in symphony order.) On paper it sounds messy and/or contrived; but in hearing, I think it works quite well.
These discs (as well as the Clemenza I mentioned yesterday, plus both recently observed Zauberflöten) call for separate posts that are more review-like (vs. the wow! look what I found! type of post.)
*I still think there was a missed opportunity here to program the concert aria (with piano), "Ch'io mi scordi di te? ... Non temer, amato bene;" but for some reason they didn't ask me when they were planning the concert.

The hat turned out great, I think. I am the one who wrote the pattern/chart for the NIN hat.
I've made two versions of the hat, myself, to test it. The color work part is a bit thicker than the other parts of the hat. When you wear the hat...it will stretch it out a bit and not look as funky.

Limavady United 3-5 Ballyclare Comrades
Bluefin Sport Championship leaders Ballyclare Comrades cruised to a deserved win, despite Robbie Hume's hat-trick.
Clifford Adams' side were always in control and in truth could have won by a bigger margin, as attacked minded players Adam Gray, Adam McCart and Jason Johnston tormented the United back-line all day.
Limavady suffered an injury set-back just before the kick-off with Lee Harkin having to replace Ryan Logue in the warm-up, but it wouldn't have mattered who the Roesiders selected, as it was a terrible day at the office.
United took the lead on three minutes as Graham Crown's pass released Joel Bradley down the left, his low centre wasn't the best, but the ball caught out Comrades keeper Paddy Flood and fell kindly for Hume, who gleefully turned home his 14th goal of the season.
Soon after Comrades should have levelled things as Johnston's close range side footed effort deflected off Johnny Watt and came back off the post.
In an action packed opening ten minutes United went close again but Gerard Gill blasted over Hume's right wing corner.
United's terrible run of injuries continued as Graham Crown injured his hamstring and was replaced by Hugh Carlin.
The visitors equalised on 24 minutes as Gray made no mistake with a low left footed strike from 20 yards, which found the bottom corner.
The Roesiders' 3-5-2 formation wasn't working in the first half, as Comrades continued to pile forward, as they were afforded too much space especially in midfield.
Comrades deservedly took the lead on 48 minutes as Gray's left wing cross found an unmarked Stewart Nixon, who headed home from six yards.
Minutes later the visitors added a third as Thomas Robinson's delivery found Johnston and he headed home, giving United keeper Paul Wells no chance.
On 55 minutes another delivery into the United box caused problems but this time Nixon somehow headed wide from six yards.
Soon after United pulled a goal back from the penalty spot, as Hume slotted the ball low into Flood's bottom right hand corner, after Adam McCart handled Lee Harkin's initial effort.
The comeback didn't last long as Comrades added a fourth when Gray volleyed home from the edge of the box and they netted a fifth thanks to McCart's powerful header.
United's miserable day continued on 67 minutes as Watt was rightfully sent-off after picking up a second yellow card for a late challenge on Gary Brown.
In the closing stages Hume completed his hat-trick, side footing home low into the bottom left hand corner, but this was scant consolation for what was a shocking performance by the Rathmore Road men.
Limavady United: Wells, Devlin, Crown (Carlin 14), Watt; Harkin, Gill, Law, King, Owens; Hume, Bradley.
Ballyclare Comrades: Flood, Youle, McCart, McQuitty (Chalmers 73), Dobbin, McIlveen, Brown (Parker 68), Gray, Robinson (Woods 73), Nixon, Johnston.

Robert Mugabe's stepson Russell Goreraza got married to Gladys Chiwaya on Saturday at a colourful ceremony in Harare.
The longtime ruler gave his wife's first born $US20,000.
Russell Goreraza is Grace Mugabe's son from her first marriage to an Air Force officer. Very little publicity in Zimbabwe is given to Russel, who is much older than Grace's children with President Robert Mugabe.
His father Staney Goreraza was a former Intelligence officer at the Airforce's Intelligence Directorate, and contrary to wild reports in the media, Stanley was not a pilot.
A sources in the inner circle of the First Family and the President's close security confirmed to our reporter that Russel's father jetted into the country sometime last week but he was asked by intelligence officials to play a low profile and not to attend the main event at RainTree, in the outlying upmarket suburb of Umwinsidale.
Mr Goreraza was also asked to handover his son's wedding gifts at a private family ceremony.
Wing Commander Stanley Goreraza is a senior officer in the Air Force of Zimbabwe and the current defence attaché at the Zimbabwean embassy in China.
Goreraza was formerly married to Grace Marufu, then secretary to and now the wife of Robert Mugabe. The couple had one child, a son, Russell Goreraza, who now manages his mother's extensive farm property, Gushungo Dairy Estate.
In 1995, the fact that Goreraza's then wife (Grace) had had two children by the Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe became public. Between 1995 and 1996, Grace and Stanley Goreraza divorced and Grace married Robert Mugabe in 1996.
By 2000, Goreraza was studying in China and he was due to return to Zimbabwe in late 2000. The following January, Goreraza was appointed as Zimbabwe's defence attaché to China. It was also in 2001 that Goreraza was hospitalized in China and visited by Robert and Grace Mugabe.
In 2006, Goreraza was honoured for his long service in the Air Force of Zimbabwe, receiving a bar to his long and exemplary service medal
Those that attended yesterday's ceremony included Zanu-PF chairman, Simon Khaya Moyo, central bank governor Gideon Gono, foreign Affairs Minister, Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, deputy minister Mike Bimha and minister in the President's office, Didymus Mutasa.
Oliver Mtukudzi, backed by the Police Band, and urban groover Roki provided entertainment.
Grace Mugabe sang amazing grace and praised the president for helping her raise Russell.
"I'm a grateful wife," she told the 86-year-old.
Grace Mugabe said she was delighted to be a mother in law and thanked her husband for helping raise Russell.
"I would like to thank Baba VaMugabe for helping me raise this child," she said. "I know you know that I am a grateful wife," she said.
She welcomed her daughter-in-law into the family and warned her son against domestic violence.
"Do not turn this girl into a punching bag," she said. "Gladys is your life partner and you should teach each other."
President Mugabe also praised Gladys saying she was a well groomed young lady.
"She (Gladys) showed us that she is a well-cultured woman. Some would have shown traits of Western culture," said Mugabe. "Everywhere we go — Zambia, Tanzania and Malawi — culture is followed."
He also expressed concern over the increasing incidents of divorce and their impact on spreading HIV/AIDS in the country.
"The incidents of divorce are alarming," he said. "They are disintegrating the families. It leaves the burden on the grandparents."
Mugabe handed over $US20,000 to the newly-weds and told them to guard against divorce, while Grace presented the couple with 20 cows possibly from her Gushungo dairy farm in Mazowe.
As secretary to the president, Grace became his mistress and together they had two children, Bona, named for Mugabe's mother, and Robert Peter, Jr
The couple were married in an extravagant Catholic Mass, titled the "Wedding of the Century" by the Zimbabwe press, after the death of Mr. Mugabe's first wife, Sally Hayfron.
In 1997, Grace Mugabe gave birth to the couple's third child, Chatunga. Grace is popularly known in Zimbabwe as "Dis Grace", a reference to her extravagant life-style while maintaining political responsibilities as first lady.

Local Area
Quaintly known as the 'Island of Eternal Spring', Tenerife may be wholly Spanish but its location just off the coast of Morocco, gives it a distinctly African feel - particularly with its glorious weather.
Fringed with a mixture of golden and dark volcanic beaches, the Island has a diverse interior switching from lush green countryside filled with banana plantations, to the dark volcanic landscapes around Mount Teide. Perfect for a holiday at any time of the year, Tenerife barely has an off-season. It is always alive with activity and suits everybody from sun worshippers to golfers and water sports fans, to families with young children.
For a relatively small Island, Tenerife packs a great deal within its boundaries ensuring that variety will be the spice of your holiday life. From its designated National Parks (fiercely protected yet open to the public) to its wild and wonderful man-made water parks, jungle parks teeming with sea lions and crocodiles and sea life parks with spectacular dolphin shows – Tenerife caters to every palate. Add lush pine forests, plunging cliffs, watersports under and on the sea, world-renowned lively fiestas and duty-free shopping – not just at the airport – and you can understand why more than five million tourists set foot on this Island each year.
Whilst some claim Tenerife has the 'best climate in the world' most would agree that it's not far from being ideal. The big appeal of the Canary Islands is their genuine year-round warm climate. The winter months are arguably 'high season' as sunshine-seekers flock south to enjoy temperatures in their 20s - even on an average December day. Summer can be very warm with clear skies and only occasional rain, especially in the south as the mountainous landscape pushes the rain northwards, but there is scant need for air-conditioning as Tenerife's famous light breezes waft off the Ocean and regulate even the hottest of days.

She trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and is probably best known as Edna Birch in THE ITV Soap Opera "Emmerdale" . She went on to play "Our Rose" in the first season of BBC1's popular sitcom 'Keeping Up Appearances' , but she was replaced in the second series (due to prior commitments) by Mary Millar. Shirley was married to the late actor, Don Henderson. A stalwart of British acting for many years, she also played the part of Beth in ' Knights of God' (ITV 1987), and has been a regular in several television soaps over the years, including 'Brookside' as Madge Richmond (1986-1987), Shirley Henderson in 'Coronation Street' (1993-1994) before moving on to a role in 'Emmerdale'. She also made an appearance in 'Eastenders' as Jane Healey in 1999. Other stage, television and film performances have included: 'Carry On at Your Convenience', 1971 ' The Chinese Detective' , BBC, 1981-1982 '1984' with John Hurt in 1984 'Personal Services' with Julie Walters, 1987 BBC 'Inspector Morse Series – Last Bus to Woodstock', 1991 'Age of Treason', 1993 Mrs Arbuthnot in 'A Woman of No Importance' at Leicester Haymarket in 1997. John Inman (1935-2007) Born Frederick John Inman on 28 June 1935 in Blackpool but raised in Preston, John Inman is probably best remembered as the camp Mr Humphries in the long running classic BBC series of "Are You Being Served?" and his memorable catchphrase "I'm free!" . His father owned a barber shop on Fishergate in Preston. Inman's first professional appearance was at the age of 13 on Blackpool's celebrated South Pier in a play called "Freda". He went on to make his London West End debut in 1969 in the musical "Ann Veronica" at the Cambridge Theatre, alongside Arthur Lowe , followed by a role in "Salad Days" and various bit roles and pantomimes. There followed seventeen months at the famous Windmill Theatre after which he appeared in "Charley's Aunt" at the Adelphi Theatre in the Strand. But it was when he was asked to join the cast at Grace Brothers Department Store in Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft's proposed new BBC Television sitcom, "Are You Being Served?", that he first came to the notice of a wider public. The show was an instant success and ran for some 69 episodes between 1972 and 1985 – it is still shown today in many countries throughout the world. It's celebrated cast included Molly Sugden, Frank Thornton and Wendy Richards amongst others and quickly attracted large viewing audiences. The series was so popular that it was reshot in Boston with an all American cast. It was also remade by Australian Television, with a new cast, except for Inman who was asked to reprise his original showstopping role of Mr Humphries. Inman's new found fame saw him later move on to other series, including the sitcom "Take a Letter Please Mr Jones" with Rula Lenska, in the farce "Bedside Manners", and regular appearances in music hall roles on BBC TV's "The Good Old Days" where he specialised in impersonation's of Wigan's famous old comedian, Frank Randle. He also appeared in "Odd Man Out" in 1977, "Grace & Favour" in 1992 and "Revolver" in 2004. He was the subject of "This Is Your Life" , was named 'BBC Television Personality of the Year' by the Variety Club of Great Britain, and was also voted funniest man on television by the readers of 'TV Times' magazine. His latter days were spent in live theatre rather than on television, and he was a regular figure in summer season shows and Christmas pantomimes. John Inman did a great deal of charity work, was King Rat of the Grand Order of Water Rats, and in the year 2002 was President of the Heritage Foundation. He died of hepatitis on the 8th March 2007 aged 71.

From 1995 to 1998 he was a presenter on Talk Radio and has been a writer and presenter of history at the London School of Economics. He appears frequently on television and radio, often invited on such programmes as" Question Time" and "Newsnight".

Several television series have been made on the basis of his books, including "Henry VIII" and more recently, "Elizabeth I" which was screened on Channel 4, with the distinction of having achieved the highest ever rating for a history programme shown on that channel. His previous series "King Henry VIII" and "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" also achieved exceptional audience ratings. He is well known throughout the United States because of his role on CBS, communicating the recent sea changes in public opinion within Britain to a wider audience.

A one-time Butlin's Redcoat and resident of Middleton, first came to the public's attention with Granada Television's 1974 series of "The Comedians" which really launched his television career. Later he appeared as the chairman in "The Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club" television series along with Bernard Manning as chairman of a fictitious working men's club in the north of England, mirroring, no doubt, Manning's Embassy Club in Harpurhey. The show ran on television from 1974-1976, and was so successful that it also ran as a stage show at the London Palladium and at the North Pier in Blackpool simultaneously. Crompton's now politically incorrect and critical put-downs of Morecambe were a distinctive trademark of his act – (" I went to Morecambe once – it was shut!") – typical of his style. Crompton published several jokes books in the Mini-Ha-Ha Joke Books series, including "Best Jewish Jokes" and "Best West Country Jokes" in 1970 , and "Best Office Jokes", and "Best After Dinner Jokes" in 1973. Colin Crompton died of lung cancer in August 1985, aged 54, after fighting a 6 month long losing battle.

(An Illinois Nonprofit Corporation)
Adopted October 20, 2016
There shall be, within SPA, a section on pediatric cardiac anesthesia which shall be known as the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society ("CCAS") in order to promote the subspecialty of cardiac pediatric anesthesia and provide education and training to those members of SPA wishing to increase their knowledge of that area of practice.
Section 9.1. Mission Statement of the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society.
The purpose of CCAS is to improve the perioperative care and outcomes, and facilitate technological advances in therapy for newborns, infants, children, and adults with congenital heart disease requiring anesthesia. This shall be accomplished by (1) education, (2) collaboration of members, (3) coordination with other societies having like minded goals and objectives, (4) research, (5) facilitating a multi-institutional database, (6) training guidelines, and (7) advocacy.
Section 9.2. CCAS Administration. CCAS shall be administered as a part of SPA and SPA shall provide to CCAS such office space and administrative services as may be determined to be reasonable or necessary from time to time by the Board of Directors of SPA in consultation with the CCAS Board. In general, the expenses of CCAS shall be expected to be funded through CCAS dues or other revenues generated by CCAS and no liabilities or expenses of CCAS in excess of such sums shall be incurred without the prior approval of the Board of Directors of SPA. The CCAS Board shall annually prepare a budget reflecting reasonably anticipated dues and other sources of revenues, as well as budgeted expenses, and shall submit such budget to the Board of Directors of SPA for review and approval not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each fiscal year of SPA. The CCAS Board may otherwise adopt policies and procedures applicable to CCAS, subject to the advance approval of the Board of Directors of SPA. All funds of CCAS shall be deposited into an account which shall be under the supervision of the Treasurer of CCAS and all requests for disbursements from such account shall require the approval of the Treasurer of CCAS.
Section 9.3. CCAS Members. CCAS shall have members and such members shall be divided into the following classes of membership: Active Members, Affiliate Members, Resident/Fellow/Trainee Members, International Members, and Retired Members. The CCAS Board reserves the right to reject any membership application that it deems not in keeping with the mission and values of CCAS. The criteria for membership in each such class of membership are set forth below:
(a) Active Members. The Active Member class shall be comprised of those physicians who have an interest in pediatric cardiac anesthesia, are eligible to be members of the ASA, are Active members of SPA, have satisfactorily completed the membership application process described in Section 9.4 of these Bylaws, and whose names are shown as Active Members of CCAS on the membership records of the CCAS. Each Active Member of CCAS shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to the membership of CCAS for a vote.
(b) Affiliate Members. The Affiliate A Member Class shall be comprised of those physicians who are eligible to be Affiliate members of SPA. The Affiliate B Member class shall be comprised of those physicians who are ineligible to be members of SPA and persons who are not physicians, who in each case have an interest in pediatric cardiac anesthesia, have satisfactorily completed the membership application process described in Section 9.4 of these Bylaws. Affiliate Members of CCAS will be shown as Affiliate Members on the membership record of CCAS but not on the membership record of SPA unless they also choose to become members of SPA. Affiliate Members shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to the membership of CCAS for a vote.
(c) Resident/Fellow/Trainee Members. The Resident/Fellow/Trainee Member class shall be comprised of physicians who are in an approved residency training program, or are performing post-residency fellowship training. It shall also include trainees in other health care–related fields such as nursing, psychology or pharmacology. These members shall have satisfactorily completed the membership application process described in Section 9.4 of these Bylaws and whose names are shown as Resident/Fellow/Trainee Members of CCAS on the membership records of CCAS. No person may hold membership in CCAS as a Resident/Fellow/Trainee Member for more than a maximum of six (6) years. Resident/Fellow/Trainee Members shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to the membership of CCAS for a vote.
(d) International Members. The International Member class shall be comprised of those physicians who have an interest in pediatric cardiac anesthesia, are eligible to be members of ASA, are International members of SPA, have satisfactorily completed the membership application process described in Section 9.4 of these Bylaws, and whose names are shown as International Members of CCAS on the membership records of CCAS. Each International Member of CCAS shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to the membership of CCAS for a vote.
(e) Retired Members. The Retired Member class shall be comprised of individuals who, as of the date of the request for the change in status of their membership (as described below), have been Active Members or Affiliate Members of CCAS for ten (10) or more consecutive years and who have completely retired from professional practice. Individuals meeting the above criteria may have their membership classification changed to status as a Retired Member by delivering a written request for such change in status to the Secretary of CCAS. Retired Members shall be assessed membership dues as determined by the CCAS Board of Directors and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to the membership of CCAS for a vote.
Section 9.4. Application for CCAS Membership. An individual desiring membership in CCAS as an Active Member, Affiliate Member, Resident/Fellow/Trainee Member, or International Member shall submit to the Secretary of CCAS a membership application in such form and on such terms, including the submission of an initiation fee (if any) and dues, as the Board of CCAS may designate from time to time. Any person who has filed such application and paid any required initiation fee and/or dues, and who otherwise meets the qualifications for membership with respect to the class of membership applied for, shall be designated as a member of CCAS.
Section 9.5. Termination, Resignation and Reinstatement of CCAS Membership. Membership in CCAS shall be automatically terminated for nonpayment of CCAS dues or upon such person ceasing to be a member of SPA and may otherwise be terminated by the CCAS Board for other reasons by pursuant to procedures identical to those set forth in Section 4.4 of these Bylaws with respect to termination of SPA membership. Any member may resign from CCAS by delivery of a written resignation to the CCAS Secretary, but such resignation shall not relieve the member so resigning from the obligation to pay any unpaid dues, assessments, or other charges which accrued on or before the date of such resignation. Reinstatement may ensue upon written request signed by the former member and filed with the Secretary of CCAS, by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of all members of the CCAS Board, and upon such terms as the CCAS Board may deem appropriate, including receipt of any dues, assessments, or other charges imposed by the CCAS Board, including, but not limited to, those previously accrued.
Section 9.6 CCAS Officers and Directors. CCAS shall elect, from among its membership, officers and directors of CCAS. The officers of CCAS shall be a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and such other officers as may, from time to time, be deemed appropriate by the CCAS Board. The CCAS Board shall be composed of the CCAS President, the CCAS Vice-President, the CCAS Secretary, the CCAS Treasurer, a member of the Executive Committee of SPA designated by such Executive Committee to serve as its representative on the CCAS Board, and seven (7) directors-at-large elected from CCAS membership. With respect to its officers and directors, CCAS shall, insofar as reasonably possible, function in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.4 through 6.16 and Sections 7.2 through 7.9 of these Bylaws; provided, however, that the officers and directors of CCAS shall take office at the spring meeting of CCAS held in conjunction with the spring meeting of SPA and all terms of office shall run accordingly, and further provided that the CCAS Nominating Committee be appointed at least 180 days prior to the spring meeting date at which officers and directors are to take office. The person serving as CCAS President shall, during his/her term as such, serve on the Board of Directors of SPA. The CCAS President shall report to the Board of Directors of SPA and shall provide SPA President and Board of Directors with such updates regarding CCAS affairs as may be requested from time to time.

The CCAS Executive Committee shall also be responsible for overseeing other CCAS standing committees and reporting to the CCAS President and the CCAS Board.

Hormann has served as the athletic director for the Prosper school district in Denton County since 2015. She will take over a growing athletic program with seven high schools spread across three UIL classifications, including Leander, Cedar Park, Rouse, Vista Ridge, Vandegrift and Glenn.
"On behalf of LISD, we are excited to welcome Jody into this new role," Troxell said in a statement released by the school district Friday. "Jody is a proven and dynamic leader who brings strong leaderships skills with a diverse athletic background. She is committed to academics and to supporting all programs and students."
Hormann first joined the Leander district in 2008 as an assistant volleyball and girls' basketball coach at Leander High School before becoming the head girls basketball coach at Vandegrift. In 2012, she joined the Leander school district's athletic department staff as assistant athletic director prior to taking over the Prosper athletic department.
Hormann assumes athletic director duties from Brad Mansfield, who had served as the interim athletic director since the retirement of Lee Bridges this past June.

During the press junket for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story last week, Lucasfilm screened 28 minutes of footage for attendees, and the reaction was very positive. As people raved about what they saw, director Gareth Edwards was able to breathe a much-needed sigh of relief, and fans already excited to return to the galaxy far, far away had another reason to look forward to the spinoff. After a marketing campaign that delivered one well-received trailer and TV spot after another, it sounds like Rogue One does indeed live up to the hype - though the first wave of full reviews will be the greater indicator.
The film may be riding a wave of positive buzz now, but over the summer the conversation surrounding Rogue One was more doom and gloom. It's well-known now that the project underwent extensive reshoots, perhaps pickups that went beyond what is typical on a major studio tentpole. As the studio worked on fixing the alleged issues of Rogue One, many became concerned about the movie's potential quality. However, those involved with the film believe that the reshoots are an illustration more of Lucasfilm's supreme dedication than anything else.
In an interview with the L.A. Times, Rogue One star Riz Ahmed (who plays Bodhi Rook), discussed the second wave of photography and what moviegoers should take away from the whole endeavor:
"There were a ton of reshoots. But if people want to read anything into that, I'd encourage them to read into it the guts it takes to unpick stitching rather than just try to embroider over it, to make it right. I admire [Lucasfilm President] Kathleen [Kennedy] and Gareth and the whole team for having the guts to go, 'Let's reopen this. Let's do some of this again.' I think it's because they really care — and hopefully that's something that shows when people see the film."
Ahmed makes a good point. The easy way out would be to gloss over any problems the initial cut had, but the team instead decided to take advantage of their endless resources and put in the hard work to make Rogue One right. There's a lot riding on the film, since it is the first installment in the series to take place outside of the main Skywalker family saga. Disney's plan is to release a new Star Wars entry each year for the foreseeable future, and Kennedy has talked about the core saga coming to a close eventually. It's important that these anthology projects are hits from both a critical and commercial perspective; all it takes is one misstep for everything to go awry. If "a ton of reshoots" were required to improve Rogue One, then that's the way to go.
Fortunately, it seems like the tumultuous process was worth it and Rogue One will ultimately go down as another worthwhile trip to the beloved universe. As Edwards told the L.A. Times, some of the best films have infamous stories about how difficult they were to make (with the original Star Wars being no exception). He likened his experience of directing Rogue One to the mission Jyn Erso and company embark on, saying, "You end up feeling like the characters in the film, that we're trying to do this impossible task. Their pretend one is to steal the Death Star plans but the actual one is to make a great Star Wars film." Given that Rogue One has the stamp of approval of George Lucas himself, Edwards was successful.
