Donate through Triumph over Tragedy here:http://www.indiegogo.com/TriumphOverTragedy
For the uninitiated, give a snapshot of Triumph over Tragedy and how you came to be involved with the project. You live in Ohio what about this disaster – that struck nearly half-a-nation away – compelled you to put together the anthology?
In the days immediately following Hurricane Sandy, I found myself both awed and saddened by the devastation I saw on the news. In the past, I've donated money for various relief efforts, but the gesture always felt somewhat hollow to me. Disasters have ripped apart people's lives and homes, and here I am, sitting on my couch in my nice, warm living room, donating a measly fifty bucks.
I wanted to do more, to give more, but my familial obligations precluded me from physically going to help while economic constraints prevented me from giving more.
That's when inspiration struck.
I'm an indie author (at the moment) and have enjoyed some success. My novels have been floating around the top 100 bestselling Historical Fantasy at Amazon for a while now.
In recent years, I've attended a few conventions as an author and made some professional connections. I reached out to a number of authors I knew, inquiring if they would like to donate a short story to an anthology, the proceeds of which would all go to Sandy relief.
A bunch said yes, emailed their contacts, and…well, things sort of took off after that. Turns out, people like helping people.
Which author are you most pleased and most surprised to receive a story from for the anthology?
Sorry. But with a few Hugo award winners, a Nebula award winner, a couple NYT bestsellers, a fantasy legend, and a couple hot names of the present, I can't pick just one.
Silverberg was a big surprise for sure. As was getting a story entirely out of the blue from the Marion Zimmer Bradley's Literary Trust. Elizabeth Bear, Timothy Zahn, Tobias Buckell, Michael A. Stackpole, Michael J. Sullivan…
On what other projects are you working/editing?
My own.
Prophecy, which is Volume II in my debut series The Children of the White Lions, came out at the end of September and promptly hit #9 on the Historical Fantasy bestsellers list at Amazon. I had no time to enjoy, however, as within a week I was getting emails: "when's book three?"
I'm working on it…really. I wish I could write at 1/100th the speed some people read. Currently, I'm at 128k words, which is slightly past the halfway point. A big book, you say? Yes, but I like big books (as long as they're good), so that's what I'm writing.
I have two other things going, too. One is an entirely separate novel that has been knocking around in my head for a while now for which I finally wrote some chapters. The other thing is super-secret that I can't tell anyone about. Seriously, I signed a NDA and everything.
What can you tell us about yourself and why you've become so enamored of Speculative Fiction?
Write what you know, yes? Well, I've always enjoyed reading fantasy, so…
When I was younger, I read Tolkien, of course. T.H. White, too, and others. When I was in high school, I read Magician: Apprentice by Raymond Feist and really enjoyed it (along with the other three books of that series).
As time passed—I went to college, graduated, got a job, got married, had kids—my free time evaporated and I stopped reading. A few years back, my family and I were going on vacation, and I went to the book store to get something to read for the trip. I stumbled over Magician by Feist, remembered liking it when I was younger, and bought it. I breezed through it (and the other three books of the series, again), and then discovered that Feist had written numerous more books set in the world of Midkemia. I made time in my life to read again (farewell, television) and read them all, after which I moved onto some other authors. Some I liked, some I did not.
After three bad books in a row—predictable plots, stereotypical characters—I commented to myself that "I could do better than that." I challenged myself to try, and here we go. It's been a learning experience, I've made a lot of mistakes (if anyone finds a first edition of Progeny, you'll see them all), but I wouldn't be where I am now without them.
How long did it take you to finish Progeny from thoughts about what you wanted to write to the current version?From the moment I decided to write to when the first edition was done, about a year. Mind you, I did all my writing in the evening and on weekends. When I was done, I had produced a 312k word behemoth of a book in a vacuum where I was utterly ignorant of the market and publishing industry, Turns out, no one wants to take a chance on an unknown whose first novel could double as a doorstop. Oh, that and the writing needed work, something I didn't know that at the time.
I self-pubbed and, amazingly, began to build a readership. That edition had been out for a while and I was working on the sequel when the opportunity to get Progeny in front of a big agent presented itself. I sent it off, as is, and waited.
A couple months later, I got a polite 'no, thanks' back along with a list of reasons why. Realizing I agreed with most of them, I set aside Prophecy and started to re-edit Progeny. My craft had improved since I had started writing, although I still had more to learn ( hindsight is 20/20 and all that). In the end, I cut 50k in length while actually adding a few necessary chapters. That was Second Edition.
Proud of that, I queried a bunch of agents (in which I included my book sales and marketing efforts), had a number ask for the manuscript, and sent it off. Some offered representation, some said no. One agent—who I really, really wanted—liked the portion he saw, but said it was overwritten (still) and didn't have time to go through the whole thing to see if he could fix it. He said if I waited a few months on my decision, he'd give it a shot. I, of course, said yes.
I took yet another look at the manuscript and realized that, yes, there was still a lot of fluff. So, I edited it. Again.
And cut more words. Again. 20k this time.
That edition, the third, is currently available.
If you were to start from when the book was just an inkling of a thought to its current state, about two-and-a-half years passed. Of course, in that time, I also wrote the sequel and fifteen short stories that, if added up, are another full-length novel.
With two books in the series thus far published and a number of shorter stories, which of the two do you find more rewarding?
The series. The shorts were fun, and actually helped me solidify some details and background (they're all prequels to the series), but journeying through the series is the fun part. It's an epic story, and I don't use that word lightly. Progeny starts out with three kids, their entire world more or less the village in which they grew up. By the end of Prophecy, they are so far removed from that place—in every sense you can imagine—it's strange to think of them ever being there to start. Each book opens the world—and them—up a little more, forcing them grow and adapt.
I've always known the arc of the series, what generally happens in each book, but I'm constantly surprised where the characters take me as I write. Some storylines wrote themselves.
How many novels will you be writing in The Children of the White Lions series?
The plan was four. But halfway through Progeny, I adjusted my plans to five. Halfway through writing book three, and I'm still set on five.
Being a father with a full time job, your wife must be supportive of your writing endeavors. How do you find the time to write and work onTriumph over Tragedy?
I have no idea.
My writing has definitely slowed while working on the anthology. I only have about four hours a day to spend on editing/writing, after kids are in bed and while my wife works on her nursing paperwork.
That being said, I still write. I am compelled to write. Sounds a little silly, but I don't know how else to explain it. I have a half-finished novel (and series), begging me to bring it to a conclusion. There are storylines in there I want to see play out, scenes I can picture in my head that I need to put on paper, conversations that I have been setting up since the early chapters of Progeny that I can't wait to write.
If you love something enough, you find the time.
Outside of SFF/Speculative Fiction and perhaps even in direct contrast to SFF, what are some hobbies?
What's a hobby?
Honestly, I don't have much time for them anymore. Writing started out as a hobby, but that's no longer the case.
I'm a Cincinnati native, so I'm a Reds and Bengals fan, although I get to watch fewer games than I used to. Our family got a puppy a few months back, so the kids, wife, and I like taking him to the dog park (he's a Lhasa Apso, but likes running with the big dogs). My wife and I ride motorcycles, Harleys, which also happens to be the name of our dog (minus the 's').
Other than that, not much. There simply are not enough hours in the day.
Thanks for the questions! And don't forget to check out the Triumph Over Tragedy anthology! Almost 40 stories and 180k words of awesome!

Resilience, appreciation of diversity and developing tools to challenge bullying was the theme for Studio BÆs ōHappy to Be Me 3.0ö summer art camp.
The week long camp, which ran Aug 18 to 22, enlisted students 7 to 17 years of age to work with artists Jean Esther and Angel Perez as well as Boyertown Area School District art teacher Nancy Yurkovich.
The studio, funded by a grant from Berks County Community Foundation through the recommendation of the foundationÆs Youth Advisory Council, is adding Happ Ś the 68th bear to the Bear Fever collection.
Prior to the camp, students and adults were welcomed to submit words or imaged related to a Superhero.
Elements from those ideas and designs were considered and incorporated into the design by the artists creating the final design for the bear.
ōSuperheroes do the right things at the right moments, showing they are brave and kind and healthy and happy and respect and appreciate other people,ö explained Jane Stahl, Studio BÆs Director of Community Relations and co-coordinator of the Bear Fever project along with her husband Paul, at the launch of the project . ōSadly, bullying behavior can be found anywhere and can have serious effects on those victimized,ö she noted.
Beginning in September, those individuals that were a part of the project will visit Boyertown area schools and organizations to showcase the sculpture.
The Bear Fever collection is an ongoing community art project.

The Pyongyang Playbook
One persistent misperception about North Korea is that its provocative international behavior is unpredictable. In the last two years alone, North Korea has held four U.S. citizens hostage; fired a long-range missile over Japan; conducted further nuclear testing; and, most recently, torpedoed the South Korean warship Cheonan, killing 46 sailors on board.
In fact, Pyongyang's methods have been remarkably consistent since the early 1960s, when Kim Il Sung, the nation's founding dictator and its current leader's father, purged all potential rivals and consolidated power. Its strategy has been to lash out at its enemies when it perceives them to be weak or distracted, up the ante in the face of international condemnation (while blaming external scapegoats), and then negotiate for concessions in return for an illusory promise of peace. Incapable of competing with economically flourishing South Korea, the North can rely only on military and political brinkmanship to make up ground. This has been a stunningly successful game plan for the isolated, impoverished nation that sits amidst the world's most powerful status quo states, including China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United States.
North Korea's policy toward the Obama administration has closely followed this time-tested strategy. The United States has a long and undistinguished history of playing into the North's game plan. However, the Obama administration has deviated from this pattern and adopted a policy that U.S. officials have dubbed "strategic patience." The White House has attempted to remain calm in the face of

Khloe Kardashian in Ripped Jeans
Kim and Khloe Kardashian made their way through LAX airport in Los Angeles, California to catch a flight out.
Khloe wore a pair of ripped and shredded skinny jeans with a long cardigan and some heels. These almost look like they are a custom pair of jeans with the rips on them. Do you like them? Buy similar jeans online at Shopbop.com.

Khloe Kardashian in Alexander Wang Leather and Denim Jacket
Khloe Kardashian was snapped while catching a flight out of LAX and wearing her Alexander Wang Leather and denim jacket. It has been a while since we've seen a celebrity wearing a mixed material jacket, like this one with leather sleeves.
They were popular a year or so ago, but I still think they look relevant now, especially given the current popularity of denim jackets. Hopefully we see Khloe wearing this a few more times this summer. You can buy Alexander Wang online from Shopbop.com.
Khloe Kardashian in Rag & Bone Zipper Capri Jeans in Shredded
Khloe Kardashian was pictured checking out some properties with her sisters for their new store at SoHo in New York City yesterday.
Khloe wore her Rag & Bone Zipper Capri skinny jeans in Shredded with a black cardigan, top and heels. I actually think this might be one of my favourite looks on her! I love the jeans as the wash is beautiful, but they fit Khloe really well too! What do you think of them? You can buy these jeans online at Rag & Bone.

Khloe Kardashian in JET Skinny Jeans in Scratch and Fade
I think on any given day, there's a Kardashian at LAX Airport! It seems like the majority of the photos we see of the family, are of someone catching a flight. The most recent member snapped there, was Khloe.
For her flight, Khloe wore her JET Skinny jeans in Scratch and Fade with a white t shirt and black leather jacket. We've seen her in these jeans a couple of times and it looks like they've gotten more broken in with each wear. It looks like the knee distressing has gotten bigger and a little more ripped. That is one thing that I love about jeans with holes and distressing, they really become customized after being broken in, and the distressed spots take on their own look. Buy JET online at Singer22.com.

Heinrich Petersen (31 March 1904 – 9 May 1945) was a Standartenführer (Colonel) in the Waffen-SS during World War II. He was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross ; which was awarded to recognize extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership by Nazi Germany during World War II.
Early life[edit]
Petersen was born in Sonderburg on the island of Alsen in Denmark - at that time a part of the Prussian Province of Schleswig-Holstein.
He was a member of the NSDAP (party number 1.964.574) and an early volunteer for the SS-VT (SS number 134.299) joining in March 1933, serving with the III./46 SS-Standarte in Dresden.
In April 1934 he was posted to the SS-Junkerschule in Bad Tölz as an instructor with the rank of Untersturmführer (Second Lieutenant) until August 1935, when he was transferred to the SS-Wachtruppe Brandenburg which was renamed in 1938 as the III. Battalion, 2nd SS-Totenkopfstandarte Brandenburg.
In November 1937 he was promoted to Sturmbannführer (Major).
World War II[edit]
In October 1939 Petersen was given command of the II. Battalion, 3rd SS Totenkopf Infantry Regiment, 3rd SS Division Totenkopf until February 1941. During his time in command he was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class in May 1940, the Iron Cross 1st class in June 1940 and the Infantry Assault Badge in November 1940, which was awarded for having taken part in three or more motorized infantry assaults.

It was while in command of the 13th SS Gebirgsjager Regiment that Petersen was awarded the Knight's Cross on the 13 November 1943 just after being promoted to Standartenführer (Colonel) on the 9 November.

We are a family of 5 which includes 3 small kids ranging from age 3 to 7.
As I went through reading some of the reviews and "negative" experiences my husband and I couldn't help but chuckle. For starters, you're camping.... You're not at a 5 star resort. Although, the park DOES HAVE a resort for all you campers who don't actually want anything to do with the nature aspect that comes with camping. If you don't like hills, go to the resort. If you don't like animals (including bears) go to the resort. If you are annoyed with having to clean up after yourself to keep bears away, go to the resort. If you don't like walking to a bathroom possibly up a hill, go to the resort... Otherwise, the only annoyance is the other campers; whether loud or messy, but we survived them, too. lol!
Dorst was a lovely area... We were on a hill but didn't mind since it's part of the natural setting. We were still able to find a level spot to place out tent at the bottom of the hill. We had a beautiful meadow and small babbling creek behind us. WARMING: Dress in layers. Tank, tee, hoodie. We were here at the end of June, and during the day the shade is hoodie weather, and the sun spots are tank weather. So it was a bit of bipolarness, but just added to the experience. Nights are cold so dress warm for that.
Since you are camping, if you don't have an RV prepare for dark walks to the bathroom, and the bathrooms don't have light. Again, you're camping, so even having a working toilet is a luxury. Just pack some good flashlights, and have a set bathroom buddy team.
I LOVED seeing the bears during the day! Everyday we saw at least one, but never trying to get into anyone's things... Kinda more on the sidelines waiting for night fall. *Dun, dun, duuuuuuun!!!* Yes, you will hear bears poking around at night. Remember, they aren't in your home, you're in their home. MOST the people who complain about the bears is because they don't properly clean up after themselves. We were at Dorst 3 nights. The first night was pretty peaceful... Dear in the meadow, and walking by the tent, and one bear sniffed our tent and moved on. The second night we were woke up from a bear getting into our neighbors left out cooler. It was very load and sounded like it was breaking into a bank with glass breaking rather than the little cooler. Since no one else was daring to face the bear, my husband got out and went over with a bucket and scared it away. Later that night another bear sniffed our tent and carried on (it wasn't gonna bother us since we had nothing it wanted on us... keep it clean people). The last night wouldn't you know our neighbors didn't learn their lesson and the bear came back! LOL! At this point is was very exciting to me to hear them out there! I only wish I had night vision video to get some great wildlife footage!! The bears truly aren't scary.... They can get big, they are bears so that's normal, but they are really use to having people around, and they're use to people scaring them away at night. Just think of them as big pesky raccoons. They just want a snack and I promise they don't want the snack to be your face. Now if there were Mountain Lions around that would be another story, but luckily we didn't meet any of those while there! Now THAT would be scary!
Great hiking trails right on Dorst, not too far a drive to gas/shops, close enough to the Giant Forest to drive and enjoy those trails.. Just amazing! We're already talking about going back! WITH a portable shower this time. lol!

CBS (ended 1975)
Dodge City, known as the Sodom and Gomorrah of the plains, is a typical frontier city of the late 1800s
with typical problems ranging from rumored Indian raids to bank and stage robberies, cattle rustling, and family feuds. All of these must be dealt with within the law and that task falls to Matt Dillon, US Marshal (James Arness).
Dillon is a man who prefers the use of logic over the use of the gun but the nature of the people passing through Dodge doesn't always leave him that choice. Aided by various assistants and deputies over the years (played by Dennis Weaver, Burt Reynolds, and Ken Curtis), he does his best to keep the lawless element out of his town and his territory. Matt often solves his crimes through keen observation and deduction, an innovative approach for the times.
Crucial information about cases is often provided by his beautiful companion, Long Branch owner Kitty Russell(Amanda Blake), while they drink beer or whiskey in her establishment. Matt also often exchanges banter or bounces his theories off of the crusty town doctor, Galen Adams (Milburn Stone).
Ep Guide
NBC (ended 1973)
White-haired Ben was the proud patriarch of the Cartwrights, the family at the center of one of TV's most beloved
and long-running series. Their ranch, the Ponderosa, was 1,000 square-miles (600,000 acres) in size and sprawled from mountainous shores of Lake Tahoe to the desert terrain near Virginia City in the Nevada Territory. Ben oversaw his frontier empire with the help of his three sons: Adam, Hoss, and Joe. The series was set in 1859 when the series began and would progress through and following the Civil War.
---------------------------------- Series creator and producer David Dortort, who oversaw the series during its 14 year network run on NBC, says he first first got the idea for the series writing the 1953 episode of "Fireside Theatre" titled "Man of the Comstock."
---------------------------------- By 1959, NBC wanted a big filmed series to promote the sales of color television sets. NBC was the only network investing in color programs since its parent company RCA owned the electronic color transmitting system used by TV. "Bonanza" was just the type of show the network needed to "show off" its living color. In its initial season, it floundered in the ratings on Saturday nights against CBS' "Perry Mason"; it's said its renewal had a lot to do with its being shot in color. In the second season, "Bonanza" more than held its own in the Nielsens. It was the network's decision to move the series to Sunday nights that allowed it explode into a Top-10 hit.
---------------------------------- "Bonanza" differed in many ways from the dozens of other westerns on the air during its run. It relied more heavily on the characters than it did on action--though there was plenty of that. Good and bad weren't always as simple as "black hats" vs. "white hats"; many times, good people didn't live happily ever after. Despite that, Ben imparted a high code of ethics upon his sons. Among the principles:
1-Intolerance and bigotry were not acceptable. The Cartwrights often came to the defense of Indians, Chinese, and others who were the targets of the narrow-minded.
2-Once a man had paid his debt to society and was released from prison, he deserved a clean slate and a chance to start over.
3-The land was sacred. Ben's greatest business headaches came from his refusal to allow his land to be polluted and destroyed for profit. When the Cartwrights cut down a tree for lumber, they planted another. Their environmental concerns remain unique for a television series.
---------------------------------- Ben's path to his dream home of the Ponderosa (named for the Ponderosa Pine, plentiful in that area) was a long time in coming. He was a seaman, acting as first mate for Captain Abel Stoddard, when he met his boss' daughter Elizabeth and fell in love. She died after giving birth to first child Adam. Leaving the sad memories behind in the Northeast, he traveled to St. Louis and opened a trading company. He met and married the Swedish stunner Inger Inger Borgstrom who loved horses and shooting. She gave birth to son Hoss en route to the frontier, but was killed by an arrow during an ambush. Moving to New Orleans, Ben became an importer/exporter and fell for Creole beauty Marie DeMarigny. He made her wife number three and finally made it to the West. They established the Ponderosa and she gave him another son, Joseph. Marie died several years later in a riding accident. The story of each of these romance were detailed in individual episodes early in the series' run.
---------------------------------- The high mortality rate of women encountered by Ben and his sons, known jokingly as the "Cartwright Curse," became a running gag among comedians and viewers alike. If a female became a love interest to any of the show's men, even money says she'll be sick, dying, or dead by the end credits.
--------------------------- Location filming kept the series from feeling "studio bound" and gave
a chance to highlight its color cinematography. Though much
filmed on a huge sound stage at Paramount Studios, scenes were regularly shot on the studio's outdoor "Western Street" and on locations throughout Southern California and Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The rising cost of shooting at Paramount eventually forced a move to the Warner Brothers studio in Burbank. To explain the new appearance of Virginia City, Season 12 began with "The Night Virginia City Died" where a huge fire destroyed the "old" town.
---------------------------------- Changes inevitably took place among cast members during "Bonanza"'s long run. After several years of complaining about being held back from a movie career, Pernell Roberts was finally sent on his merry way after of Season 6. Prior to that, amid fears of Roberts' departure, Guy Williams was brought in for a few episodes as Ben's nephew Will Cartwright. It's said the cast resented his character being added and he disappeared after five appearances. Beginning with "Sense of Duty" in Season 9, David Canary joined the cast as Ponderosa ranch foreman Candy Canady. He practically became a Cartwright, appearing in roughly a third of the series' total episodes. He disappeared with no mention at the end of season eleven after failing to get a raise from producer Dortort. Young orphaned teenager Jamie Hunter did become a
fourth Cartwright son when he was taken in by Ben in Season 12 and legally adopted in "A Home for Jamie" the next season. In the wake of Dan Blocker's death following Season 13, the cast was beefed up. David Canary returned as Candy (reportedly Michael Landon personally asked him to appear) and Tim Matheson was added a Griff King, a young man paroled into Ben's custody who was hired as a ranch hand.
---------------------------------- The loss of Blocker left a hole that simply couldn't be filled. This, combined with the show's move to Tuesday nights after eleven years on Sunday, dealt the series a death blow. Ratings took a nosedive and
aired it final episode in the middle of Season 14 on January 16. 1973.
---------------------------------- After all these years,
remains hugely popular. Besides the quality of the program itself, having filmed in color has kept it from looking "old". Episodes began to be released by CBS/Paramount on DVD beginning in 2009, and were uncut from their network airing with all the original music intact.

Have Gun - Will Travel
CBS (ended 1963)
Paladin was not your normal gunfighter. He was an educated and a traveled man. A West Point graduate, he served
as a Union officer during the Civil War. After the war, he went west and became a high-priced 'gun for hire.' He was based at the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco and enjoyed the finer things in life. He dressed in fancy clothes, enjoyed fine wine, gourmet food, opera, expensive cigars and he could play the piano. He read newspapers from all over the West looking for situations in which he could help, for a fee. Sometimes Hey Boy, the Oriental porter who worked at the Carlton, would bring Paladin a letter or 'wire' asking for his help. Usually, within the first few minutes, he was dressed for 'business' and on the trail. When working, he dressed completely in black including a black hat with a band of silver conchos and a custom holster with a silver chess knight on it. He carried a custom made pistol which was perfectly balanced and had a rifled barrel. He preferred to settle problems without violence whenever possible, but if forced to fight, he excelled. A master marksman and a quick draw, he was a match for most any man. And for those 'difficult times' he kept a derringer hidden under his belt, which saved his life on many occasions. His rifle, which was rarely used, also had a silver chess knight on the stock. This leads us to believe it was as carefully made as the pistol he carried. Before resorting to violence, Paladin would put his rich education and experience to work to try to find an alternate solution. In spite of his profession, he had a deep respect for the law and would often turn on his employers if he found they were the guilty party.

Hawaii Five-O
CBS (ended 1980)
Hawaii Five-O was created by Leonard Freeman as a series that not only featured law and order issues but also
presented the beauty of the Hawaiian islands.
The original cast featured Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett, head of Hawaii Five-0, with James McArthur playing Danny Williams (replacing Tim O'Kelley from the pilot), Zulu as Kono Kalakaua and Kam Fong as Chin Ho Kelly. At the end of the 1971-72 season, Zulu left the series after a disagreement and was replaced by Al Harrington as Ben Kokua. After Leonard Freeman died, Al Harrington was dropped with no reason given, after 10 appearances in the 1974-75 season although his episodes were scattered throughout the year.
Douglas Mossman helped to replace the 'Ben' role in later episodes as Frank Kemana. By the 1976-77 season, supporting character Duke Lukela, played by Herman Wedemeyer, was so popular that he was given star billing on the show, following Kam Fong. When CBS delayed making a decision on the show's future at the end of the 1978-79 season due to falling ratings and the perception of poorly executed stories, James MacArthur took the opportunity to leave the series after 11 years.
The 1979-80 season saw major changes in the show. William Smith, as James 'Kimo' Carew, was bought in to replace James MacArthur, and the producers also added a new female Five-0 member, Sharon Farrell as Lori Wilson. Completing the new line-up were existing Five-0 member Duke, and Moe Keale as Truck Kealoha. CBS finished Hawaii Five-0's prime-time run on April 5, 1980

Series Trivia * Gregory Peck was offered the lead role of McGarrett. He turned it down. * Kam Fong, who played Det. Chin Ho Kelly (1968-78), was an actual officer with the Honolulu Police Department who served from 1946 to his retirement in 1962 to take up a career in real estate. * Other than Wo Fat, other notable adversaries for McGarrett that appeared in more than one episode included mob bosses Henore Vaschon (played by Harold Gould) and Tony Alika (played by Ross Martin), pimp Big Chicken (played by Gavin MacLeod) and the Robin Hood-like Lewis Avery Filer (played by Hume Cronyn). * Jack Lord was the only member of the cast to stay with the series during it's entire 12 year run. Kam Fong (Chin Ho Kelly) left after the 10th season. James MacArthur (Danny Williams) left after the 11th season. * At the end of the episode "A Death In The Family", where Chin Ho Kelly was murdered, Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) books the suspect himself, saying, "Chin would have liked that." It was the only time during the series that McGarrett personally booked a suspect. * The character of Duke Lukela first appeared as an HPD sergeant before becoming a Hawaii Five-O investigator. * The syndicate that Tony Alika headed was called "Kumu". * McGarrett finally caught Wo Fat in the final episode of the series. However, at the end of the episode, Wo Fat can be seen digging into his boot and taking out a file leaving it open for a possible reunion episode. * "Magnum, P.I." (1980) began production soon after this series wrapped its last episode. In order to keep some sort of continuity, reference to characters from this show were included in early episodes of Magnum. However, a plan to have Jack Lord appear as McGarrett never came to pass. Lord retired from acting after the series went off the air. * Chin Ho Kelly (Kam Fong) was the only member of the cast to be "killed off". He was murdered in the episode "A Death in the Family" while investigating a protection racket. * McGarrett was a Naval Intelligence officer before he became head of Five-O. In fact, he was in the reserves and went on active duty from time to time to assist the Navy on special cases. * In the episode "The Singapore File" McGarrett flies to Singapore to retrieve a witness, and returns to Honolulu. Singapore was actually downtown Honolulu. At the end of the episode, they are at a temple in Manila; they were actually at the Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe, Hawaii. * McGarrett actually caught Wo Fat in one encounter, but was forced to give him up because the Chinese government wanted him back in trade for a downed U2 pilot. * Zulu (Det. Kono) was the first of the regular cast to depart the show. He left in the 4th season. * McGarrett has a sister that lives in California. * Like McGarrett, Jack Lord was in the Navy. He was a public affairs officer, attaining the rank of lieutenant. * Before joining Five-O, Danny attended the University of Hawaii and then transferred to the University of California where he graduated with a degree in Criminology. * McGarrett often referred to Kono as "Big Kanaka". * McGarrett often referred to his secretary, May, as "Love". * McGarrett was a Korean War veteran. * McGarrett supposedly had his office in Iolani Palace, the actual palace used by the last kings and queens of Hawaii. This building was in danger of being leveled for a parking lot, but today it has been restored and can be toured for a $20 fee. It has never been used by the state police. * Besides government intelligence chief Jonathan Kaye, another recurring character was policewoman Sandy Welles. * "Danny" was played by a different actor in the pilot. * Several actors played different roles in various episodes before becoming recurring cast members. * Chin Ho (Kam Fong) smoked a pipe. * Al Harrington and Herman Wedemeyer both appeared in different roles on the show before assuming the roles of Ben and Duke respectively. Wedemeyer was in the very first episode playing Honolulu police Lt. Balta. * Despite the attention that Hawaii Five-0 brought to Hawaiian state law enforcement, Hawaii is the only state that has no state police agency. * The hula dancer in the opening montage is played by Helen Kuoha-Torco, now a professor at Windward Community college.
Continuity Goofs for Series
*In some earlier episodes, McGarrett can be seen leaving his headquarters in a 1967 Mercury 2 door sedan. When he reaches his destination, he's driving a 1968 Mercury 4 door sedan. *After the original 1968 Mercury was retired, and replaced with a '74 Marquis Brougham 4-door hardtop, some stock footage was used of the '68 passing or in traffic. *From 1970 to 1976, Al Eben played Doc Bergman. In one episode, "A Bullet for McGarrett", his name is Doc Abraham.
Rockford Judged Top TV Detective: 4 July 2000 (StudioBriefing) The Rockford Files (1974) Jim Rockford has topped a TV Guide survey in which readers were asked to name their favorite TV detectives ever. The magazine commented, "The crimes he solved were hardly complex. And his detective work was rudimentary at best. But from the moment he told a client, 'I get 200 dollars-a-day, plus expenses,' you were hooked." Columbo placed second in the survey, but Jessica Fletcher of the long-running Murder, She Wrote did not even make the top 10, coming in at 13. The top ten are: 1.

Mission: Impossible
CBS (ended 1973)
This 7-year series chronicled the adventures of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), a team of government spies and specialists who
were offered "impossible missions" (should they decide to accept them) by the unseen "Secretary". Although the cast varied over the years, the main characters included The Team Leader (Dan Briggs the first season, then Jim Phelps the other six), The Techno-Wizard (Barney Collier), The Strongman (Willy Armitage), The Master of Disguise (first Rollin Hand, then The Amazing Paris), and The Femme Fatale (Cinnamon Carter, Dana Lambert, Casey, Mimi Davis). The series is best known for its standard (but not invariable) opening mission contact (conducted by a pre-recorded message), the theme composed by Lalo Schifrin, the leader's selection of mission agents from a dossier, the opening briefing, the intricate use of disguises and a typical "mask pulloff" scene near the end of most episodes, and the relative lack of characterization of the characters.

Doctor Who (1963)
BBC (ended 1989)
"My name is William Hartnell, and as Doctor Who, I make my debut on Saturday 23rd November at 5.15."
is the longest-running science fiction TV series in history, airing initially from 1963 to 1989. The series told the story of the Doctor, a mysterious traveller in space and time, whose TARDIS can take him and his companions anywhere in time and space. Inevitably he finds evil at work wherever he goes… The series was postponed indefintely in 1989, but fans of the series would not allow it to die, and a whole cottage industry was created around original novels and audio-only productions. There was an abortive attempt to renew the franchise as a series of telemovies in the U.S., but ratings for the pilot were judged insufficient. In 2003, the BBC announced that, at long last, it would commission a revival of

Star Trek
NBC (ended 1969)
Space...The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship, Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to
seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before
The series is set in the 23rd century where Earth has survived World War III then moved on to explore the stars. Humanity has allied with other alien races and formed the United Federation of Planets, and Starfleet serves as its exploratory and military branch. Captain James T. Kirk of the starship
explores the galaxy with a crew of 430 men and women, contacting new life forms, conducting diplomat missions, and exploring the unknown.
Star Trek
premiered on NBC after executive producer and creator Gene Roddenberry produced not one but two pilots to convince them of the quality of his show. The series ran two years but never achieved good ratings despite building a small but solid fan following. A letter-writing campaign convinced NBC to run a third season, but Roddenberry left in protest and the network buried the show in a late Friday night time slot.
After its three-year run
Star Trek
began running syndication where it was discovered by legion of new fans and became a phenomenon. This led to an animated series, six movies, and four spin-off television shows. Despite its short network run,
Star Trek
has become one of the most successful shows in television history.
Aside from its three main stars,
Star Trek
featured a large cast of reoccurring guest stars that includes James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Majel Barrett, and Grace Lee Whitney. Other notable guest stars include Diana Muldaur, Gary Lockwood, Ricardo Montalban, Sally Kellerman, Julie Newmar, Frank Gorshin, John Colicos, Roger C.

Tom and Jerry
CBS (ended 1980)
Tom and Jerry was originally the very first, and earliest of the Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. It went through many phases and
took place from anywhere from inside a house, to anywhere in outer space. The show was of course, about a cat and a mouse, and several other characters. The two never really talked, even though they do sing, yell, gasp, laugh, count, or say "Aha!!"; and that several other characters spoke more often. They would later end up in several TV series, and also in a few movies, however many would say that they didn't like the way the movies turned out. All of the episodes were distributed by MGM. Here's more info about the show in general:
Pilot Episodes
: The Pilot Episode was called "Puss Gets The Boot" and was also the first one with Mammy in it. Tom looked very different and was called Jasper. It was produced by Harman-Ising Productions.
Fred Quimby
: Fred Quimby was the Producer of Tom & Jerry for many years. He is also the Producer of Tex Avery's Cartoons. Tom's fur would eventually become blue.
: These cartoons had more people in them. There were narrators, and many conversations between the adults. Lewis Marshall became an Animation Director, and Hanna-Barbera were the Producers.
: Only seeing the older Tom & Jerry cartoons, and not having enough information on the show, Ted Pierce, Gene Deich, and William L. Snyder and the rest of the crew had trouble in producing their episodes of Tom & Jerry.
Sib Tower 12 Incorporated
: One of the last producers of Tom & Jerry, this version has the famous opening with the yellow background and the red letters (except for the 5 letters O and J) where Tom hisses and Jerry waves. The producer was Chuck Jones, and the cartoons look ahead of their time. There were several new characters, including a yellow bulldog, and Tom's Girlfriend, The Shark, Jerry's Dog, and several robots where Tom was a security operator at a cheese mine. Other people that worked on the show were Les Goldman, Maurice Noble, Michael Maltese, Tom Ray, Earl Jonas, Lewis Marshall, Eugene Poddany, Bill Lava, Dean Elliott, Carl Brandt, Mel Blanc, June Foray, Abe Levitow, Ben Washam, Don Foster, and Walter Bien. They would later do several Dr. Seuss cartoons along with Depatie-Freeling Entertainment, the Cricket seties, Duck Dodgers, and many other Award Winning shows.
: Many years later, Filmation attempted to produce Tom & Jerry. It was a TV show called The Tom & Jerry Comedy Show. It seemed to look like all the Tom & Jerry cartoons in the 1950s and 1960s. They also aired and produced some other MGM cartoons, like the ones that are directed by Tex Avery. The episodes of The Tom & Jerry Comedy Show are mentioned here.

The Wild Wild West (1969)
CBS (ended 1969)
The Wild Wild West ran for four seasons, and featured the adventures of two Secret Service Agents working for President
Ulysses S. Grant. The two men were James West, former Union soldier and current man-of-action, gunman, and womanizer. His partner was Artemus Gordon, a former con man and master of disguise and invention. Together, the two fought various menaces aimed at the United States and President Grant, as well as investigating other Federal crimes. Riding on the post-James Bond spy craze of the 60's, WWW featured not only all of the typical "spy gimmicks" like boot knives, miniature explosives, and spike-firing grapple guns, but featured a variety of criminal masterminds wielding high-tech items (for 1880) like robot squids, cyborgs, exo-skeletons, steam-powered giant puppets, earthquake machines, hallucinogenic drugs, shrinking potions, and much much more. Their major nemesis, the diminutive Dr. Miguelito Loveless, was a master of such gadgets and gizmos. The show's producers and writers mixed all of these with typical Western movie conventions, a nod to the old movie serials, and some modern-day stylings as well to produce a unique series that has rarely been seen since.

ABC (ended 1962)
told the story of the Maverick brothers, Bret and Bart, card sharps who lived during the Old West
era. The show was originally a straightforward adventure tale, but it evolved when the writers began adding comedy to the scripts. Bret quickly became the television western's first quasi-mercenary, a character who would help the forces of justice but usually only if he stood to profit from doing so. When he resorted to gunfire, he wasn't the West's finest marksman. In fact, he was much more likely to outsmart his opponent or slip out the back door once trouble began. The writers also added a foil for Bret - his brother Bart. Bart was more conservative than the devilish Bret, but just as unlikely to join any fight that could be avoided. The two characters began alternating as leads on the show as they journeyed through small towns with odd names like Oblivion and Apocalypse. Along the way, they associated with fellow card sharps like Dandy Jim Buckley and Gentleman Jack Darby. There was also Samantha Crawford, a lovely female rogue who loved to challenge the Maverick brothers to see who could out-con the other.
All these elements helped make
a television western that stood apart from the crowd. Audiences responded to the mix of traditional Western adventure and good-natured humor, making the show an instant hit. Bret Maverick, in particular, became a hero for many armchair cowboys. As a result, the writers began to play up the comedy elements even more, expanding the storylines to satirize other prime time programming.

77 Sunset Strip
, for cameo roles designed to make viewers' heads turn.
continued to enjoy solid ratings through the end of the 1950's, but hit a snag in 1960 when James Garner left the program over a contract dispute. To replace him, the producers introduced a new Maverick cousin, Beau. Beau had been sent to London for disgracing the family name during the Civil War (by winning a medal). Beau would be played by Roger Moore, who would later move on to greater fame as James Bond. The show also briefly added another brother, Brent, played by Robert Colbert, before finally ending its run in the summer of 1962. Since then,
has continued to be a popular member of the cult television pantheon. Its enduring status as a beloved show led to two short-lived follow-up series,
Young Maverick
Bret Maverick

which featured James Garner alongside Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. The follow-ups proved that the magical
mixture of laughter and tumbleweeds was an enduring, age defying source of great family entertainment.

The authentication is done by unlocking the smartcard with a PIN. When a user needs more that 30 seconds to unlock his smartcard the response is "No data received". Hitting the reload button works, but most users will run into confusion when they see default browser error page.
How can I modify that timeout to allow longer timeouts?

We arrived early in the morning & was greeted by a nice young man who offered us tea to refresh ourselves. Our room was not ready as we arrived earlier than expected for check in, they accommodate us as soon as the room was ready.
We didn't know what to expect but was blown away with the hotel! The staff were very helpful meeting us with our every need they were all very friendly and meeted our every request.
They also organised excursions through the hotel and spa treatments.
I treated myself to a hammon scrub which I have never done the lady made me feel comfortable and very relaxed.
We stayed 4 nights at the hotel, it was a beautiful stay. I would defiantly recommend it!
A getaway from the stresses of the city life!

Wooooah this looks amazing. The trees where you live are mega pretty.
This is the last of this year's foliage on the Virginia creeper that grows on the south facing wall of a walled garden in Heathfield, Surrey. In fact, this is in the m7uch maligned Croydon. People think it's all shopping malls, tower blocks and 'sink estates', but it actually has more tree lined strreets and well planted parks and gardens then almost any other borough in Greater London and in Autmn it looks beautiful, especially on a sunny day. More of this walled garden and its sputhg facing wall can be seen here [link] . But there is a lot more than that in our gallery. This wall alone has been photographed hundreds of times and appears in scores of deviations.

New Mexico court restricts high-interest loans
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico's highest court cracked down Thursday on small consumer loans carrying quadruple-digit interest rates.
The state Supreme Court said the high-cost "signature loans" violated the state's Unfair Practices Act and the interest-rate terms were "substantively unconscionable."
The justices capped interest rates at 15 percent for loans by two companies that had been charging an annual percentage rate from 1,147 percent to 1,500 percent.
A $100 loan with a rate of 1,147 percent would carry a finance charge of about $1,000.
The court ordered the lenders to make restitution, repaying consumers any finance charges they paid above 15 percent.
The companies — Cash Loans [auth] Now and American Cash Loans — made the loans from $50 to $300 at offices in Albuquerque, Farmington and Hobbs. The companies' lawyer did not immediately return a phone call and email seeking comment on the ruling and how many consumers would receive payments.
Attorney General Gary King had filed a lawsuit against the lenders after receiving consumer complaints. "We consider it initially a huge win," King spokesman Phil Sisneros said of the court ruling.
Lawyers in the office, he said, were reviewing the decision to fully determine its effect on consumers and other lenders.
The court said the companies started offering the loans to avoid state restrictions imposed in 2007 on payday lenders, including a cap on fees.
The loans often went to the working poor, Hispanics and Native Americans, according to the court, and most borrowers had little knowledge about banking and credit transactions.
Payday loans are between 14 and 35 days. Signature loans are for a year and not subject to New Mexico's payday-loan regulations.
Signature loans, the court said, require only the signature of the borrower as well as verification of the borrower's identity, address and employment.
Payday loans are short-term advances of cash against a borrower's future paycheck or when a lender holds a borrower's personal check and agrees to cash it later to cover the debt.
Although New Mexico lifted most interest-rate caps more than 30 years ago, the court said it imposed a 15 percent limit on the loans because that rate was still in place in state law for contracts that didn't specify an interest rate.
In its ruling, the court pointed out that there had been testimony in the lawsuit about one consumer with a $100 loan who had paid finances charges of nearly $161. The individual would owe only $115 under a 15 percent rate cap, and the justices said the lender must refund the difference — about $46.
