So So Gay is a website for the 'tech savvy, politically aware, fashion-conscious, and well-educated' among you; but what is its editor-in-chief Andy Wasley like? Find out in today's Media Interview, where we find out about his work on the website…
About the publication:
What was the inspiration for starting So So Gay?
So So Gay started life as a personal blog, but in 2010 it started to attract more writers. We started to develop the site into a magazine late last year, including a full editorial structure and regular forward features planning. Now we have a team of nearly 30 brilliant writers, and we cover everything from opinion and comment through to exclusive interviews and reviews.
Who reads it and how many of them are there?
A typical So So Gay reader is a London-based gay man aged between 18 and 34 who is tech-savvy, politically aware, fashion-conscious and well-educated. That said, I'd like to think that there's no really typical reader; we try to cater for all tastes, and we aim to attract readers from all over the UK. We currently reach nearly 40,000 readers per month.
What subjects do you cover? What stories are you most interested in covering?
We're keen to break the idea that gay men are only really interested in hot boys and celebrity stories. There's a place for those subjects, of course, but as well as those we cover politics, health, current events and features, and we have a thriving arts and culture section.
What makes you different from the other outlets in your sector?
We want to make sure that So So Gay is an intelligent, interesting and fun magazine, so we try not to be limited to one dominant theme. Some publications are fantastic for fashion shoots, celebrity gossip and pop culture, for example, but we want to be much more diverse than that. We make sure that our lighter content is always set alongside some of the more serious journalism that we've become known for. I think we're also lucky to have grown from being a blog into being something much more credible and accessible. Blogs are great, but I think our readers respond well to So So Gay's more professional style of reportage.
How do you decide the features, news stories and interview subjects?
As editor-in-chief my main concern is that the magazine has a distinctive voice, so I respond well to pitches that are a little quirky or take a different angle on a subject than you might expect. My editorial team and I discuss potential news and calendar hooks well before we need to run articles about them so that we have a chance to seek volunteers from within the writing team.
Do you plan any features far in advance?
Absolutely. We operate like any other magazine, planning out our forward features months in advance. In a sense, we're trying to make a link between being an online magazine and a print one; print publications will often take a theme for each issue. We do that each month, and start looking out for potential interviews and features very early. Our current theme is health and fitness. In July we look at families and coming out, August is arts and culture, and in September we'll be concentrating on youth and university.
About you and freelance journalists:
Do you pay for contributions from freelance journalists?
As a new publication we don't have enough funds to pay freelancers at the moment. What we can offer, though, is space for talented writers to pick up bylines in the most popular and fastest-growing online LGBT lifestyle magazine in the UK. And I'm no Arianna Huffington; when we can afford to pay for contributions, we'll do just that.
Do you like freelance journalists to get in touch with you directly to pitch ideas? And if so,how?
I'm always happy to hear distinctive, quirky and original pitches. I prefer a short paragraph outlining the story, any unique or exclusive angles, how many words the writer can produce, if there are any stills available, and when he or she can submit copy. Pitches should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. I won't read whole articles that are sent to me speculatively as my inbox is already overflowing!
Name the three most important attributes that make a freelance journalist stand out for you and would make you use them again?
Originality, reliability and enthusiasm.
If you can, tell us about the best approach you've seen from a freelance…and the worst…
Nothing too quirky here, I'm afraid; the worst approaches are invariably those where people haven't proof-read their own copy, or where poor spelling, punctuation and grammar render it unusable. We did have one guy who used to file an awful lot copy that appeared to have been copied from other publications, but we have a very effective sub-editorial team who spotted it and that writer no longer writes for us.
I've seen lots of really great approaches, though, and they usually outnumber the lower-quality submissions. One recent approach led to a freelancer joining our writing team to produce a weekly diary about his efforts to achieve 'the body beautiful'. He's a great writer and we're very excited to have him on board.
About PRs:
Do you work closely with PRs or do you keep them at arm's length?
I work on the basis that if a PR has been helpful, I'm likely to be helpful in return. We've built some close links with a particular music agency who have delivered some great interviews for us, and we're also in contact with some fantastic press teams at charities and other organisations.
If you could make one change to the way PRs deal with you, what would it be?
I'm realistic; PRs are very, very useful people, especially those that don't spam my email with pointless promotional press releases! So So Gay never runs unedited press release copy, unlike some of the smaller and newer gay blogs or magazines, so a badly-written or florid press release will never see the light of day on our site. It would also be great if PRs sent low-res, 72dpi stills instead of 300dpi behemoths, because I find too much of my and the subs' time being spent in Photoshop getting pictures down to a useable size for a website.
How should a PR approach you about their client?
I'm usually just interested in the facts – most importantly, why should my readers be interested in the client? What makes the client stand out? Can we have an interview and, if so, can we have exclusivity for a time? A lot of press releases read like over-excited fan-mail; that's a big turn-off because it makes it harder to spot unique angles. Every music PR thinks his or her new client is the most amazing musician in the country. Tell me something original and I'm more likely to look at the client in the same way.
What information/input from PRs is most useful to you?
Just the facts, really. Our writers will take the factual content and write up an original article, which should be something a good PR is interested in if they want their product or client to stand out. If there's a hint of purple prose or a template email, I'm probably not going to read much beyond the first sentence. We also need press-quality stills, reduced to 72dpi for web.
When is the best time for PRs to contact you & what is your deadline for contributions?
I keep some very odd hours! I'm happy to receive emails all day, but might not be able to reply within working hours. As an online magazine we can be extremely flexible with deadlines, but if someone has promised something to us we do expect them to deliver.
About you:
Describe a typical day at work: What are you editorial duties/responsibilities at the outlet (e.g. commissioning, subbing, features, interviewing)?
I have three jobs, so typical is an odd concept! My main day job takes my focus from nine to five, but I usually start thinking about So So Gay's content first thing in the morning and immediately after my day job. As the Editor-in-Chief I plan out the monthly themes, assist with sub-editing, plan the weekly editorial grid, liaise with writers who are looking for help or advice and make sure copy looks right on the site. I'm also responsible for the magazine's sales strategy, which is going to take up more of my time soon.
I don't get to write as much as I'd like to, but I try to make sure that I submit a feature or major interview each month.
What interests you most about your job?
The main thing is working with some incredibly talented writers who are looking for an opportunity to show off their work. I find it incredibly gratifying to see So So Gay's theatre and DVD reviews quoted on posters and DVD covers; what a fantastic accolade for an aspiring writer. Other than that, of course, I love writing. It's my first passion and I try to make sure I have a chance to flex my creative muscles regularly.
Where have you worked previously, and how did you end up in your current position?
I was a Royal Air Force officer for seven years and left to work in PR back in 2008. I still do PR as an RAF reservist and have been to Afghanistan twice since 2009. I started writing for So So Gay as a blogger in 2010, and took over as Editor-in-Chief in January this year, when we started our real push to professionalise the magazine.
Do you tweet? Why, why not?
I certainly do – @andywasley. I'm quite an opinionated guy and Twitter provides me with an outlet for airing points of view and engaging in debate. It's also great for interacting with friends and keeping people up to date with things; I've just returned from playing rugby in Amsterdam, for example, and was able to keep my team's followers up to date with the scores while I was over there. And this is a bit sad, perhaps, but I have a weakness for 'lolcats'. Twitter is full of them.
What's the best advice you've been given?
'Start every day by eating a frog'. The idea is that if you get the most ghastly part of your working day out of the way first thing, nothing worse can follow. Hopefully that means you can enjoy the rest of the day. (I have never actually eaten a frog.)
What media do you seek out 1st thing in the morning?
I'm a news junkie. Before I'm even out of bed I've usually caught up with the headlines on the BBC News website. I listen to Today on Radio 4 before heading to work, and usually read the New York Times, the Guardian or Wired on my iPad when I commute.
If you could time travel what time would you go to?
I'd like to revisit my graduation from the Royal Air Force College on 30 May 2002; the best fireworks display and the most amazing party of my life.

Attention Grillmasters, I Need Your Help
I have lost my propane mojo. I don't know what's up. What I do know is I asked you guys how to cook perfect ribs a while back and now I cook perfect ribs. I don't want Google results, I want results like my friends and neighbors. See if you can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
We're going to use burgers as an example here because that's where I'm having the most problems. I'm having too many flare ups and getting burgers that aren't done in the middle. Now, let me state I again, I have had wonderful results doing the things the way I'm currently doing them, it's just something has gone whack in the last six months and I can't figure it out.
I use regular fresh ground beef. The 73% stuff. I like my burgers juicy and sometimes the lean stuff can give you some really dry burgers. Sometimes I mix the seasonings in, sometimes I just put them on. I guess I make the burgers about as thick as a deck of cards.
My grill seems to have one flame level. I let it get hot and throw the burgers on. I try to get a little char or sear on each side, then let them cook. This seems to be where things go wrong. I can't really get the grill to back off and just let the burgers cook, it just seems to get more out of control.
I cleaned my grill to try to get the excess fat and or juices out. I've tried turning the grill flame lower, but once again that seems to make no difference. Do you think I'm using too fatty meat, or making the burgers too thick?
I am really about ready to chuck this propane grill and go back to charcoal. It makes no sense that a propane grill would be harder to control than charcoal, but at least with charcoal you're not dealing with any food residues in your fire source at all.
While you ponder my problem, here's a weird Hank Hill video I found.

Kingfisher has rolled out a new innovative campaign, 'The Singing Cricketers' where they are out celebrating on the streets of their respective cities interacting with their fans and shooting their own film, singing and dancing to the 'O la la Leo O' jingle.
According to the press release, this is the first ever campaign by the cricketers themselves shot entirely in a selfie mode – using hand held phones, cameras, selfie sticks and drones. The TV campaign took 24 international cricketers & close to a 1000 fans to create this.
This season of T20 Premier league Kingfisher is proudly associated with six of the eight teams - Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rising Pune Supergiants, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab.
Speaking on the campaign, Samar Singh Sheikhawat, Senior Vice President, Marketing, UBL said, "True to the tagline 'Divided by teams, United by Kingfisher', the newly launched television commercial for this season's T20 extravaganza captures the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship that binds the teams together. Our latest campaign highlights the game of cricket as more than a sport; it is a medium that brings together diverse people in celebration and revelry. This is in perfect sync with Kingfisher's positioning as the Original Social Network – some of the best memories are made while watching a game of cricket and sipping on some cold Kingfisher brew!"
In March, Kingfisher introduced theSpecial Edition Cricket Pack, which combined the love for the game and the power of the innovation, to bring this experience in to every consumer's hand. This was followed up by a new TV commercial themed around its campaign 'The Original Social Network'. Building up the crescendo, the iconic 'Oo la la le lo' advertisement hit the screens, featuring cricketers.

Elevation, latitude, and weather collide at Sunshine Village to allow the resort to run the longest ski season in Banff. Western Canadian skiers and snowboarders planning trips can get a pass for lift access for this spring.
Spring skiing and snowboarding cruises strong at Sunshine Village until May 20. Its location flanking the Continental Divide in the Canadian Rockies allows lift operations to continue a couple weeks longer than other Banff resorts.
Spring passes permit Western Canadians to get on the slopes at Sunshine Village for unlimited lift access instead of paying the window rate of $83 per day for adult tickets.
The spring pass costs $399 for adults. Skiing five days will get the value from the pass. If your local ski area closes down in April, you can get another month of skiing at Sunshine.
Other age group rates for spring passes run $299 for students and seniors or $149 for children. A midweek pass, valid Mondays through Thursdays, costs $299. Families with kids can benefit from the family pass for $799.
Skiers at Sunshine Village can pack more runs in their days this spring. Starting March 21, lifts stay open longer until 4:30 p.m. for the remainder of the season. Jackrabbit Quad stays open until 5 p.m. to give you time to grab a beer on the Trapper's patio before skiing down.
Sunshine Village also pulls out the spring events: barbecues, live music, and the annual Slush Cup. Starting April 27, live music creates the scene in the village on Saturdays and Sundays. The free concerts run through the end of the season.
The final event of the season — the Slush Cup — will celebrate its 85th spring of splats into a pond. The Slush Cup takes place May 20.
Spring passes for Sunshine are available for purchase online here. For trip planning this spring, consult Ski Big 3 for lodging packages here.

After 26 years in our beautiful home at the Marian Center, the Montessori Institute of Milwaukee must move…but instead of this being a burden, we are looking at it as an opportunity. It is an opportunity to be more centrally located to our schools and an opportunity to be more accessible for our out of town students. Housing options and public transportation are going to be more convenient; restaurants and coffee shops will be in walking distance.
However, the building is in need of some care and love and revamping in order to create a space that meets the needs of our trainees and our community. We are committed to keeping training costs as reasonable as we possibly can, so we are looking for contributions to beautify and update our new space.
What will the money be used for? Replacing the carpeting, repairing and painting the environments, installing sinks in both the lounge and the primary practice environment (yea!!) and moving costs (from the fourth floor of a building with no elevator!). All donations are tax deductible.
Every dollar counts! Here at MIM, we try to make ourselves and our products (workshops, materials, etc) as affordable and available as possible. It is not often that we ask for donations from our community, for we are in service to you. But now we also find ourselves in need of some support and assistance from you. Are you willing to contribute to creating our new environment? We hope so!
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Know that we cannot do our work without you and it is our hope that you feel the same. Our goal is to serve an ever increasing number of children around the world. Please help us meet that goal!
Thank you for your donation! Your donation is helping make our new environment a home. We appreciate your contribution and welcome you to come by and see the new space.

Good throughput in relation to specs. Padded feature set. Wireless access control policies.
Issues applying interface setting changes when connected wirelessly. Dated performance compared to newer routers on the market. No Gigibit Ethernet.
Bottom Line
EnGenius' Dual Band Concurrent AP Router (ESR7750) is decent router, with good features and throughput that will serve less rigorous networking needs.
Features and Interface
The EnGenius ESR7750 does not have the same slick interface as EnGenius' ESR9885G gaming router. The ESR7750's dated interface reminds me of router software from years ago. The interface however, does give access to some robust features, just as the gaming router's did. For instance, you can enable the firewall and power saving capabilities to work on a schedule. There's also a monitor to display the bandwidth of both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The problem with the monitor though, is that the display refreshes every five seconds, making it impossible to get a lengthy look at the bandwidth charts. Unfortunately, I also found no way to control that refresh rate.
The EnGenius ESR7750 can perform all the conventional tasks of competitors like NAT, port forwarding, QoS, UPnP, and static routing in lieu of NAT. URL blocking works well: when I entered "craiglist" as a keyword and no clients on my network could get to the craigslist site. Blocking happened immediately without having to restart browsers and lifting the block happened just as quick. URL blocking is not an effective overall parental control strategy, however, because you have to manually enter specific URLs and keywords. Trying to manually enter all the bad things on the Internet the kiddies might stumble across would be foolhardy. Still, it can be handy for blocking selected URLs, as needed. There are routers out there with specific parental controls such as Netgear's N750 which uses the Live Parental Controls cloud service from OpenDNS.
There are some other useful options with this router, although they aren't so unique as to not be found on other competing routers. For example, if you have a problem running an Internet app from behind NAT, the ESR7750 allows creating virtual DMZ hosts. Also the firewall has native protection against DDoS attacks—a feature you'd want if you are hosting your own web server.
As I navigated through the interface I discovered you can enable wireless access control based on Mac addresses and you can also apply connection control policies on each SSID.
There are quite a few advanced features with this router. It could work for a smaller business because of its AP functionality and access control policies. Yet, I did have some problems applying settings when connected wirelessly. At some points after applying a setting, the interface just hung. I did not have the same issue applying settings via a wired connection to the router.
The EnGenius ESR7750 is a 2x2 antenna router. Its performance, is of course, not a match for the newer 3x3 routers now on the networking scene. Consider, though, that there are not many wireless adapters in the client devices we use like tablets and laptops, that are compatible with the faster 3x3 routers. So for most client devices except the latest on the market, it's a sufficient router, but the 3x3 routers with compatible adapters have faster throughput.
As shown in the chart below, newer routers have throughput rates in the triple digits. Because of the ESR7750's hardware it's fairer to compare its throughout to other routers with similar hardware specs such as Buffalo's AirStation Nfiniti and Cisco Linksys' WRT400N (all highlighted in yellow):
Click here for benchmark results.
There is barely any performance difference between the three highlighted. For a small home or business network, the ESR7750 would be fine, as long as there aren't any high-throughput demands like video conferencing or streaming high-definition video.
A Decent Performing, Full Featured Video
EnGenius' ESR7750 is a solid three-star router. It doesn't wow with performance, because of its hardware specs, but it can perform fine as an AP or router for a smaller network without demanding throughput needs. It's available for under $100, which is a good price for a dual-band. It's certainly not an innovative offering, but for simple networks that may want more advanced features, it's not a bad bet. Still, for not much more, you can pick up our Editors' Choice dual-band router, the Netgear N750 and get more than twice the throughput wirelessly, as well as fast wired connections via four Gigabit Ethernet ports.

BERLIN (Jul. 1)
The general press, commenting on the anti-Semitic excesses of the University of Berlin yesterday, which brought about its closing for a period of two days, demands today that the university immunity rule be rescinded, and the entrance of the police permitted to quell disturbances whenever essential.
This demand is offered as an alternative to the proposal to keep the university closed for the entire semester should the university authorities fail to receive bonafide assurances from the Nazis that the attacks will not be repeated.
The University Senate meets today to decide whether or not to accede to the demand of the Nazis that the Jews be refused admission to the central hall. This, the University rector, Dr. Heinrich Lueders, declined to promise yesterday.
The Social Democratic students today publishes a warning that they will use force if the Nazi terror against the Jewish students is renewed.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" and the "Vossische Zeitung" demand punishment for the Nazi students.
The "Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," a semi-official organ of Chancellor Franz von Papen, avoids the Jewish issue, and asserts that the riots are harming the country. Therefore the Nazi disturbances and those of the Left Wing adherents must be prohibited.
The Nationalist students, whose program is closely associated with that of Herr Hitler, state today that they disagree with the Nazi demand for the ouster of the Jewish students.

Hi guys,
So I'm leaving soon to start my W&HV in Australia and I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row before I do so. As much research as I've done since being granted my visa back in October, I still feel unprepared. It's just one of those big jumps in life I guess, and I tend to worry to the point of fretting at times. But who better to ask about the things I still can't find answers to than you guys! The things that would have been pointless purchasing months ago, I must now make final decisions about, and would love anyone's input. My apologies if this is too lengthy. I just didn't want to flood the board with tons of posts, but will break this up if it's too large. And future apologies if I forgot a question and so throw in another random thread later on. Many thanks! And one more thing, I'm sure I've asked questions that have been asked before, but I like to hope that mine are narrow enough that they can be answered directly and haven't been asked in such a way already. I've been following this forum for months and appreciate everyone's input.
1) I'm applying for a bank account before I get there and have narrowed it down to either Commonwealth or NAB. Which bank has more branches, or more accessible branches? Does anyone have any likes or dislikes about one or the other? Does anyone suggest another bank instead?
2) Can anyone, who has gone through immigration on a working holiday visa, especially American, give their account on what going through the check point is like? I'm already planning on contacting them to ask if I need to bring any specific documentation with me aside from my visa info and my passport, but I'm curious if they'll even ask for it. I'm curious what other's, who have gone before me, experiences are like.
3)I'm also planning on ordering a SIM card. From what I've gleaned, Vodophone, Optus and Telstra are my best bets. Vodophone I've read, has better prices (and is running an excellent special through March, doubling your data. I'm nearly sold), but Telstra has better coverage outside the cities. Again, I'm wondering if anyone has any personal experiences with any of these companies or use the mobile service of another and can recommend them.
4) I land in Sydney and plan on setting aside a week to see the sites and get myself a little more acclimated with the Aussie lifestyle (and time zone!) and, unless I miraculously find a job or make good friends, I plan on hoofin' it down to Melbourne. I'm already entranced with the cafe' lifestyle as well as I have cafe' experience and hope to land a job in such. I've read a lot about Melbourne but would love a first hand account from anyone. I considered Byron Bay as I have friends there, but I heard once that it's not exactly got a backpacker friendly job market. Thoughts on this as well?
5) Neighborhoods! Is there a quality map that anyone knows of that has burrows and districts mapped out, if it included a description that would be outstanding. Trying to job hunt on Gumtree and Seek is proving quite difficult trying to tease apart Broken Hill from Surry Hills (bad example, I know) and what each area has to offer from a local's standpoint, not an encyclopedia's. Wikipedia and Google Earth are just too disjointed and I'm not getting a true feel for the area and most travel sites don't break areas down far enough, as far as every day things to see and do, and what's within reasonable travel distance.
6)How to Pack? Packing for a working holiday is proving interesting because you're doing a little of both. Settling in one place for a little while where you may share a flat with some mates and also basically back packing and going about the country on the move for weeks. I've read of other holiday makers packing a large carry on/traveler's backpack as well as a rolling luggage but the more I think about it, it seems to me this may not be feasible if you end up traveling for stretches at a time. Thoughts?
7) Traveler's Insurance. One of my visa requirements and just a good idea in general, is obviously traveler's insurance. Holy cow is this a doozie. So many options. So many companies! I want quality coverage but I don't want to break the bank and pay for things I'll never use. Yes I will probably do some hiking in the Blue Mountains, no I do not think I will be sky diving. What companies have y'all used before? Pluses? Minuses?
I appreciate anyone's help!! And if anyone happens to be in the Sydney area the second week of February and wants to hang out with a fun chick from America in her early 30's who'll talk their ear off then let me know! (I squeaked this visa out at the last minute, if only this sort of thing was common knowledge in the states, I'd be in Ireland too!)

Rekkof Aircraft, the Dutch company trying to bring Fokker F70 and F100 twinjets back into production, has said the uncertain status of the Fairchild Dornier regional jets and the demise of BAE Systems' Avro RJX program have boosted its prospects. The firm has now joined Embraer and Bombardier in the race to win an order for up to 60 regional jets from German regional operator Lufthansa CityLine.
According to Rekkof president Jaap Rosen Jacobson, an increasing number of operators, including several existing Fokker operators, now view the 79-seat F70 and the 107-seat F100 as lower-risk alternatives to new-generation regional jets. "They want solutions to their [operating] requirements without teething problems," he told AIN.
Jacobson also claimed that operators have expressed "doubts about the future of the Embraer factories." Asked to elaborate, he suggested that some operators, with whom he has been negotiating, doubt whether the Brazilian airframer can meet the development and production commitments for its new regional jet programs (the 170 and 190 models) and whether its business plan will prove viable in the long run due to the high levels of investment required.
"Customers are also now showing less interest in other alternative aircraft such as the Boeing 717 and the Airbus A318," Jacobson concluded.
Rekkof has also been holding talks with prospective F70 and F100 system suppliers. It hopes to resume production by the fourth quarter of 2004, subject to relaunch orders being secured. Anticipated annual output at its prospective factory close to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport would be around 45 airframes.

The SpiritLed Woman podcast is empowering women weekly to follow their purpose in Christ and boldly walk in faith. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
God has cleansed our hearts and made them pure so that we can stand in His presence. We can continue to praise our mighty Lord--to sing, clap, dance, celebrate, get soaked in His presence and be overwhelmed by His grace.
Offer Him Your Heart
One thing that can stop us from being truthful worshippers is feeling as if we have nothing to offer to God. Feeling empty-handed with nothing to contribute to the relationship with God can stop us from plunging boldly into worship.
God says, "I don't need your talent. I don't need your gift. I don't want all the stuff that you can do. I just want you. I want your heart."
God doesn't want what you are going to be or what you would like to be. He wants all that you are today.
When we worship Him, He is exalted, and our problems shrivel in His presence. Everything about us—the good, the bad and the ugly—is decreased as we focus on Him.
Offer yourself to God in worship. Let that explosion of faith force you to praise His name and offer your attention to bless Him. Through your worship, love and obedience, you will bless God because He looks past all the stuff of life and looks straight at the heart.

It's amazing how revealing show runners can be when they don't know if they have another season or not. If they're guaranteed, then it's all "no spoilers," but V is on the bubble. At WonderCon, producer Scott Rosenbaum was spoileriffic about the season three we hope to see.
Hobbes will be central to the season premiere:
Scott Rosenbaum: Yeah, absolutely. The arc that I thought was beautiful about him was that he was responsible for killing Joe and then Erica falls in love with him and what happens when she finds out. That's definitely something that I'm going to continue on in the next season. I sort of said it in the panel that I think one of the first missions she's going to have is to find Hobbes because he has information that they have to have and they need him alive. I want to watch Erica have to see if she obeys that order or disobeys that order.
The resistance will join project Aries:
Scott Rosenbaum: Definitely. In my mind, Project Aries is the resistance. There's no version left of the scattershot Fifth Column. The idea is now that Erica and the members of Fifth Column that are still alive will move in and join with Project Aries and Project Aries will be the true resistance to the visitors.
From now on, V will always be as awesome as the season finale:
Scott Rosenbaum: The version of the show that I would've done from day one is the finale. That's who I am as a writer, that's my voice. I was asked to slow things down tremendously. That was hard for me to do because that's not my instinct. I did the best I could with it and the good news is there's no going back now, so if there is a season three, no one can tell me any logical reason [to go back]. I do believe the best days of the show are ahead of it and no one can rationalize not moving in the direction now that the show's moving in because we've already sort of laid down the groundwork for what it will be in season three.
We could see more of John May and other Vs.
Scott Rosenbaum: I'd always planned, in a version where there was a lot more episodes that I could do, that we would see more of him. It's impossible for me to know because if I'm going to do a flashback episode, I wouldn't mind seeing Diana back on the V planet or Anna when she was younger and how Anna became who she was. I think that's a little more resonant now because we're a whole season away from John May, but given enough episodes, I like the character, I like the actor.
Tyler is dead for real:
Scott Rosenbaum: I will say this and I won't give any more of this. Tyler's character is dead because that is something that I needed to move Erica into the next phase. She needs to find out about that. As far as the audience disliking him, I feel bad because I feel partially responsible that I didn't write an interesting enough version of him. I started after episode four so some of that groundwork was laid down but I like Logan a lot and I think Logan's really talented as an actor. Unfortunately this one role for him just seemed to grate fans the wrong way. But no, Tyler's character is 100% dead.
Expect another 13 episodes midseason at best, but V could always be the next Fringe:
Scott Rosenbaum: Probably that's the most likely, it would be a midseason. The other thing, depending on what ABC picks up, they have a lot of pilots they're thinking of picking up and there are some holes there. Who knows? Maybe they decide we need a lead in for some of these shows so at least we know we have people watching. It's really hard to predict because I don't think anybody thought Fringe would get picked up for 22 episodes. A lot of people thought that show was going to get cancelled. There are a bunch of shows that have much higher ratings than that show did that aren't going to get picked up. Anything can happen, but if I had to bet I would think more likely it'd be midseason.
The things you didn't like weren't his fault:
Scott Rosenbaum: Sometimes I get bummed because things that people want are things that were out of my control. I say, "I was going to do that but I couldn't do it for reason A, B, C or D." In this day and age with a lot of shows more and more, I think you're going to see it increasingly happen over the next couple years is audiences are becoming more specific on network TV. The passion and dedication those viewers have can keep a show going.

T. Christian Miller of the independent, non-profit news organization ProPublica recently won the prestigious 2010 Selden Ring Award for Investigative Reporting. Editor & Publisher reports that it was a collaboration between The Los Angeles Times and the non-profit news outfit that produced Miller's winning report into abuses of insurance coverage for private contractors in war zones.
Just last week, the winners of the George Polk Awards in Journalism - usually given to courageous and skillful reporting - were announced, NPR's On the Media explains. Among the usual big media winners was a surprising win - the anonymous Iranians or Iranian who captured the death of the 26-year old protestor Neda Agha-Soltan on tape in the violent aftermath of the Islamic Republic's contested elections of June 2009.
Although an investigative piece on insurance coverage for private contractors in war zones and footage of a woman dying on the streets of Tehran may seem quite different, these two journalistic efforts have something in common - neither of them came from a big, traditional media outlet. They are the product of a non-profit organization in one case and what is assumed to be a bystander in the other one. These two winning entries highlight two growing trends in media and journalism: investigative journalism and user-generated content.
These two trends may not be new, but their recognition through major journalistic awards is a tribute to their growing importance.
Investigative journalism today
From the days of Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, and Upton Sinclair, investigative journalism has been around for a while. Its funding; however, had usually come from established newspapers or magazines.
Traditionally, the Selden Ring Award for Investigative reporting has gone to big-name newspapers. Past winners have included The Boston Globe, the New York Daily News, The Washington Post, and The San Francisco Examiner.
This year it was a journalist from ProPublica, a non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest, that took the top prize. Another of ProPublica's collaborations also made it to top three finalists, as E&P reports. The organization, which was created about a year ago with funds from the Sandler foundation, aims to bridge the gap in the funding of investigative journalism.
While "profit-margin expectations and short-term stock market concerns" are making it increasingly difficult for "nearly all of our nation's news organizations" to afford the "the sort of intensive, extensive, and uncertain efforts that produce great investigative journalism," ProPublica funds 32 investigative journalists through donations and funding from foundations, according to its website.
A whole newspaper might not be entirely funded by these alone, but plenty of non-profit, investigative journalism organizations have flourished recently, like the Bay Area News Project, Oakland Local, and just last month, California Watch.
The fact that ProPublica's work with the Los Angeles Times was recognized with an award that tends to be given to major newspapers shows that high-quality investigative journalism can come from a non-traditional news outlet. It also shows that newspapers are no longer the only ones with the funds or credibility to provide information in the public interest.
Newspapers' revenue is decreasing, as well as the resources they possess to fulfill their civic duties, such funding investigative journalism and pursuing lawsuits that guarantee the Freedom of Information Act. The fact that other news organizations can fulfill this important role once reserved for newspapers is encouraging for non-traditional news organizations and the citizens they benefit, if not for newspaper publishers. In other words, non-profit investigative journalism news organizations can pick up where the newspapers left off.
Citizen journalism and user-generated content
This year, the prestigious George Polk Awards in Journalism also recognized a less-than-traditional piece of work: the graphic video of a young Iranian woman dying at a rally in Iran.
The dramatic footage, seen by millions around the world on video portals like YouTube and major news outlets, like CNN, shows the graphic death of Neda as she arrives at a protest site in the streets of Tehran. Her untimely death became a symbol for the repression of the ruling Iranian regime and for the movement that challenges it.
The people or person responsible for the footage, caught in a cell phone camera, is not known, and his or her video was recognized over other entries from traditional news outlets.
In an interview on NPR's On the Media, John Darnton, the curator of the Polk Awards, said that it was not the violence but "the fact that this one piece of video footage seemed to rise above all other means of getting news out of Iran to the outside world" that grabbed the judges' attention.
Darnton added that the awards received entries from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, but that "in a strange way, they almost all cancelled each other out...none of them rose above the others."
When asked if a bystander, a simple civilian who happened to be in the wrong place at the right time, deserves a journalism prize by host Bob Garfield, Darnton admitted the awards had previously focused on honoring professional journalists for the last 60 years, but recognized that citizen journalism has a lot of value in our rapidly changing world.
"We felt that it was time to, in a sense, say we're all in a new world now. Yes, there are professionals out there, but there are also people I call bystanders who are capable of recording important events, in this case, just with a camera on a cell phone, and transmitting it to the outside world."
Darnton believes that citizen journalism can compete with professional journalism.
"There's no reason if what they actually send out there has news value that they should not be considered, I think, for an award."
Even though his or her video was created by chance, with no journalistic intent behind it, the use it served made it worthy of an award.
The recognition of the anonymous bystander who recorded Neda's death underscores the ever-growing importance of citizen journalism in producing and distributing news content. This kind of journalism -- spread widely through platforms like YouTube or CNN's iReport -- is even more important in places where media outlets are not able to operate openly. In addition, with the technology and the platforms we have today, anyone can break a story on anything anywhere if they are equipped with nothing but a smartphone.
The move toward citizen journalism is on the rise. Just recently, the French daily, Le Parisien and its national arm Aujourd'hui created a user-generated section of their site, in conjunction with Citizenside, a citizen photo journalism agency. The Australian public broadcaster, ABC, has started featuring user-generated content on its website too.
These awards, usually granted to professional journalists from established news outlets, were given to a non-traditional, non-profit news organization, and to an anonymous eyewitness from Iran this year. Although these are far from your usual winners, their recognition points to the growing value of non-traditional news outlets and user-generated content in providing news content. Their importance seems only set to grow.

Jupiter's analyst Gary Stein blogs today about ABC and WorldNow which presented the "Local Media Network" (LMN) an ad network that will serve ads on 147 local television websites affiliated to the ABC, generating a traffic of over 20 million people. Basically the idea is to enhance (behavioural) targeting by sharing information about users. The larger the network, the better the ads served. As Gary points out, we are probably entering the new era of ad networks.

Our skin renews itself constantly by replacing old cells with new ones. As we get older this natural process slows down and we can end up with aged-looking skin. There are many chemical peels on the market but most tend to leave the skin irritated, sometimes even red and flaky. Camocare has a peel that provides the benefits without the cost, Instant Radiance Cream. It still uses the same powerful active ingredient AHA, or alpha hydroxyl acid. AHA's effectiveness is proven, smoothing skin, minimizing lines and wrinkles, reducing blackheads and spots.The difference comes from the organic, soothing ingredients that actually leave your skin feeling calm and refreshed.

Tommy Gregory fires 10 more people today
Posted in the White Oak Forum
#1 Jun 29, 2011
Well he fires 10 more people today and tells them he has to cut people, but he hires back the guy who got in trouble for having a badge and gun drunk in the bar within the last week. He hires the daughter of his IT guru to run the sex offender program. Hey Brian, you should have never sold your soul to the devil. One more year of Job security isnt worth a shit. Ok Rick and Jay come on here and defend this moronic decision. Lawsuits are going to come out of the wood work based on this decision. Hey Sheriff, how do you show your face in public? and how do you sleep at night running these people in the ground, knowing there are no jobs out there with this economy. I know at least 4 out of the 10 names who were fired and are good deputies who did not get involved in your political nighmare you have created. Good luck in 2012, you wont be able to buy a friend or job. Maybe rick can get you a job sweeping floors or Jay can pay you to push him around walmart.

Can anyone explain how Sheriff Gregory fired so many officers but he just re-hired Monday a person that he has already fired once. Thats it he re-hired McKiney the Deputy that was in a St.Marys bar drinking with a departmental badge and gun on in civilian clothes. He also has a non-certified person in a Deputy position with sex offenders yet fires deputies perfectly capable of holding the position and they are more qualified than she is. What are you thinkin you moron of a Sheriff.

#3 Jun 29, 2011
How can this ego maniac get away with his selective view on why and who should be hired and fired. Jay you always speak of Smith and his Thuggies well I think we all see who became the biggest Thuggie Smith ever employed. The now Sheriff Tommy Gregory. This is prime time Thuggism, its not a budget or cutting cost, because you can't continue to hire new people onboard and get ride of the "old ones". This is a very nasty man.

Even though I was adversely affected by the change of Sheriffs,I wished for better days for the friends left behind.So what campaign promises have been kept?Bueller?Bueller?Bueller?
#6 Jun 29, 2011
Bill Smith fired eleven people at once during his last term as Sheriff. Tommy Gregory hired almost all of them back when he took office, and ended up having to fire all of them plus over 100 more. The morale at the S.O. is at the bottom, and it affects job performance and public service adversely. Anyone know who got canned today?

What happened to the campaign promise of doing away with "At Will".
Tommy I supported you but now I want to put a bag over my head in shame.
#8 Jun 29, 2011
Whenever you use my name please spell it correctly with a Y not an I. Regarding the choice the Sheriff made to hire my daughter, it may be important to state the facts. First, she was not hired to perform the Sex Offender Registration. She was hired due to her education which includes a Master Degree in Criminal Justice from Boston University with a GPA of 3.75. Second, the job in question requires a POST certification per the Sheriff's requirements. Lastly, Ms. Cagle must certify to maintain the positon of Evidence Technician and Sex Offender Registration. While any certified deputy or any employee could potentially perform these duties it should be noted the position was opened to all curreent employees. None who applied possessed both a POST certification and a Masters degree. The previous deputy who filled the position held both a Masters Degree and a POST certification. The Sheriff's decision to keep the position at the skill and education level as previously held is quite understandable. Why would he choose to lessen the requirements? Once Ms. Cagle (my daughter) completes her POST certification she will meet what the Sheriff's requirements are for this position. Should she not complete the POST certification she will not be retained in her current job. Meanwhile, she performs her job responsibilities without flaw.
If you want to kick me have at it. I am confident she will be an asset wherever she works and for whomever she works. The citizens of Camden County can be proud of the talents, education, and work ethic she brings to the Sheriff's Office.
#9 Jun 29, 2011
you can have all the school degrees and training in the whole wide world, but if you don't have the wisdom to apply it, you need to go, BFOTT will be leaving for damn sure in 2012, the voters in this county has had enough of his BS.

So you are saying because she has a Masters degree tommy hired her...well I be damn! I know some one that has a masters degree, is post cert, has 20 years in law enforcement, and tommy fired them...for NO REASON!! Hell they use to work in same office and dept under Sheriff Smith. So tell me please...are u saying you're daughter is better then this person...I don't think so

As an employee to the Sheriff, you shouldn't be on here adding fuel to the fire. All it does is continue to help stir the pot! Let it lie...don't add anymore negativity to the Sheriff's Office. I understand you are only trying to defend your child, but truth be known by commenting you create more harm. Let it be and this too shall pass. I'm sorry some have chosen you to be a recent target.

He ain't a fat target like BFT, he's a broomstick like rick, but an easy mark I must say.

How do you EX COPS think Gregory can keep all these employees on the payroll?
When he took office he had a budget just under 6 mill. Today it is closer to 3 mill. that is 5 mill smaller than what Smith had.
If one of you can tell me how Gregory is suppose to keep all these and stay within budget, than I will agree totally with you. But you can cut a man budget in half, and expect everyone to keep their job.
Blame the commissioners!

Thanks rick, but why not lay off some of these office girls? Plus why lay off anyone when he's hiring new people? Good to see BFT is still feeding info that he wants you to post here.
#19 Jun 30, 2011
A Deputy Patrol position is NOT administrative.
A Deputy Court Security Officer is NOT administrative.
A Corrections Officer is NOT administrative.
Captain of Criminal Investigations Division is NOT administrative.
Why didn't the Sheriff go to the Commissioners and stand up for his department and his people, instead of "laying off" ten people? He has fired or laid off enough people since he took office. Looks like the thrill would be gone by now.

I can eliminate three people answering th phones that are not certified and all they do is go to lunch with the Sheriff and have the multi thousand automated phone system he bought pay for itself and keep three more deputies on payroll. Tommy don't need Lori Whitlow because he hired William Terell and Larry Bruce, and he also has a Chief Deputy that don't really have any job duties. Lori tells tham all what to do just ask her and the Sheriff or any of the Deputy's. Stop talking because you don't work there and you know nothing. Thaks IT guy for your input but she dose not meet any qualifications for the job. It is proven by the Sheriff himself. You can have all the College Degrees to hang on the wall you wish but if you don't have the heart or desire to be a good cop then it will never happen and then the community is screwed again and so is she.

I will tell you why...because they won't him out of there! The board has to pay for services PERIOD!! They have to give who ever is Sheriff what it takes to run the office. Now would you give him the money when you have all these law suits coming at you...I DON'T THINK SO!

I bet everyone a dollar to a donut that Rick Rogers was the kid that got beaten up in school and had his lunch money taken everyday. I would also bet you that he was the kid that when the teacher left the room that once she returned he would tell on them for talking while the teacher was out of the room. I would also bet you that his parents have told him never to come back the the home State or they would denounce him as a son. These types of things is why our lives will be forever ruined by a tick turd like Rick Rogers.

We gave it a B
Tanya Tucker has always held a curious position in country music. She made her reputation in the 1970s as the chubby-cheeked teenager with the nerve and maturity to sing moody, hotsy tunes like "Delta Dawn" and "Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)." In the 1990s, by contrast, Tucker finds herself perceived as an old pro who's actually younger than a lot of the newer stars who have come up in her wake, including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Vince Gill, and Patty Loveless.
Tucker is also a performer whose promise so far exceeds her achievement. To listen to her expressively throaty vocals-certainly one of the most distinctive voices in the history of country music-you just know she's capable of recording a great album. But she hasn't done it yet-fire to fire isn't it either. What Tucker's 28th record does offer is good, solid product, with a couple of high points and a batch of probable hit singles-those two things not necessarily being one and the same.
After a commercial drought and a failed attempt to cross over as a rock singer in the late '70s/early '80s, Tucker revitalized her career by teaming up with producer Jerry Crutchfield. Together, they created a series of hits that showcased her as a wise, experienced woman who could give as good as she got in the wars of romance, including "Tell Me About It," "Walking Shoes," "My Arms Stay Open All Night," and "Strong Enough to Bend." Toughness and Tucker go hand in hand, and she elaborates on this quality with Fire's "I'll Take the Memories," a stately ballad about the pride of a woman who won't accept anything in a divorce settlement, and "Love Will," a slice of jagged country- blues that features a delightfully wicked drawl. The latter song is tacked on to the end of the album as if it were an amusing afterthought, recorded in the final stages to blow off some steam. But it's here that Tucker's talents are revealed most lucidly. The melody of this bit of loping manic-depression doesn't fit the slicker formula she and Crutchfield have so successfully contrived, but the loose openness of Tucker's phrasing makes you realize that one of her most crucial exemplars is Elvis Presley. Like the King, she lets the lyric lines go slack to communicate exhausted longing, and she echoes his trick of alternating between a murmur and a growl to convey sensuousness. In this way, and in others, Tucker is pleasingly old-fashioned. Even though she lifted her voice to dignify the Eagles' song "Already Gone" on 1993's mushy tribute album Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles, she hasn't let the influence of self-absorbed '70s singer-songwriters permeate the music the way so many young country stars have. (The one time she veers in that direction-on "Nobody Dies From a Broken Heart"-she comes up with the most flaccid performance on the album.)
Her experience pays off again in the title track, a duet with Willie Nelson that is pure pleasure. One reason Tucker could never cut it as a rock & roll singer was that she lacked a feeling for rock's impatience and angst; these are emotions born in adolescence, and by the time she was a teenager, Tucker was already approaching her material as an adult would. "Fire to Fire" isn't much more than a wisp of a song. But hearing her match Nelson's croon with effortless relaxation, you're likely to forget they're singing a tune of soggy piffle, and get caught up in the rich atmosphere of melancholy and regret.
Tucker has had a good decade-long run with the artfully crafted schlock that dominates Fire to Fire. Let's hope that even before the hits of this style stop coming, she finds it within herself to record the sort of passionate, headstrong collection that has seemed inevitable since a young girl from Seminole, Tex., picked up a guitar.

From the desert of Namibia to the backwaters of Goa, the mean streets of Mumbai and the ancient forts of Rajasthan and finally to wild and exotic Rio Brazil, Hrithik steals it all by his performance. Take a look at this well shot scene from the film 'Dhoom 2' where Hrithik Roshan brilliantly robs the expensive diamond.

Hi, first post here.
In my past I've designed and attempted to make a few games in various languages, with various engines, but the only problem i seem to be encountering is a writer's block per-say.
I get to a certain point in the creation process where i cannot figure out what to do next, and when i think of something to do next, something else pops up that i feel i should implement first, and it begins a never-ending cycle of unsure-ity.
Of recent, i have started doing a serious development project. It is a single-man project (in vain of Minecraft), and I have most of my ideas planned and down on paper.
The game itself, is an Action-RPG/Craft-RPG, which may at one point become multiplayer (I want to get singleplayer down first, obviously).
The basis of it is kind of like Runescape's skill assortment, meets the gameplay of Dragon Age: Origins, combined with the essence of Monster Hunter. Essentially, one creates a character and enters an open end world where they are free to pursue quests or advance skills as they like.
Now dreams and idea's are all good and fair, but first i must work on the innards before I make the skin.
After my long rant, I come to my question. I have a few of the basics of my game done, including:
Now here I run into my problem, What exactly do i do next? I've pondered on doing a basic HUD, or perhaps working on a map.
If you, the reader, was making this game, what would you prioritize, and what would you feel needs implementing?
If anyone has any ideas of what features i should implement next, or otherwise at all, all contribution would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance y'all.
Probably work on how ai character motion, selection, etc, is going to work. Your project sounds a little large for a one man game and I think that might be the main reason you don't get anywhere.
An actual editor will help, so you can start laying out the basics of a quest. When you make a map, and you want to add something that isn't implemented yet, you will know what tasks need to be worked on.
@fireside: It is a little large, but i'm taking it bit by bit, and working out as much of it as possible so there is as little complication as possible. Also, the ai character motion seems like a good idea to work on, but what do you mean by selection? Do you mean like clicking and selecting NPCs/PCs or internal selecting like aggro?
@Kenneth: The editor is an idea i've never thought of, i might have a try at that.
Thanks guys for your suggestions!
Also, the ai character motion seems like a good idea to work on, but what do you mean by selection
I mean, the enemy needs to select the player by sight, distance, or whatever, and the player needs to be able to select an enemy out of a possible number of enemies. The range of attack has to be considered, short range or long range, obstacles, possible path finding, types of attack, etc. Battles in an rpg are the most important part of game play so they should be given the most thought. One of the best ways to start is to just have the enemy select the player at a certain distance and come towards them.
You make a very good point, and thank you for the detailed explanation, i think that shall be one of the things i begin work on, along with a basic scene editor.
Thanks guys for your insight into this topic!

Citizens of Japan have won a fight against Google to get them to re-shoot all of the photos taken and shown via Google Street View. The argument stemmed around the idea of invasion of privacy, specifically that the cameras could take pictures over the fences around private homes.
Google agreed to re-shoot all of the photos taken for Google Street View of Japanese cities and will lower the height of its cameras to avoid taking photos at heights above private fences. Google has also agreed to blur out license plates numbers as well to further adhere to the complaints of the citizens.
"We admit that there were concerns about the service. ... People said we might have neglected the privacy issue," 'he wrote.' "We took their opinions seriously and made careful considerations."
It was unclear if Google was going to remove all images from Street View or replace them as the new ones were taken.

WASHINGTON (Jul. 12)
President Carter reiterated today that Soviet charges that Anatoly Shcharansky was a spy for the United States are "patently false." In his first public remarks since Shcharansky and Alexander Ginzberg went on trial in the USSR, the President condemned the trials as attacks on all people who love freedom.
Carter's remarks were made at the White House in an interview with West European television correspondents. Asked about the Shcharansky trial, the President replied:
"I think it is an attack on every human being who…believes in basic human freedom and is willing to speak for these freedoms and fight for them. The allegation that Shcharansky was a spy for the United States is patently false. The Soviets know it to be false. They are prosecuting Shcharansky because he represents an element, a small group, in the Soviet Union who are fighting for the implementation of international agreements which the Soviets themselves have signed. I don't believe that this trial will arouse anything throughout the world except condemnation of the Soviet Union….I don't think it will still the dissident voices."
Carter added that the U.S. will continue "through every legitimate means to let the Soviets know of our displeasure…." He noted, however, that "we have no mechanism by which we can interfere in the internal affairs of the Soviet Union, nor determine the outcome of the trial."

The South Korean government has given a US$1.8 million grant to Viet Nam to establish the ASEAN Cyber University.
The money will be dispensed by the Korea International Co-operation Agency (KOICA).
Quach Tuan Ngoc, director of the Informatic Department at the Ministry of Education and Training, and Lee Wook Heon, KOICA Viet Nam's chief representative, signed a memorandum of understanding on the non-refundable loan in Ha Noi yesterday.
"Extension of e-learning and e-training systems will not only contribute to reforming the education environment and human-resource training but is a symbol of the tight co-operative relations between Korea and Viet Nam as well as Korea and ASEAN," Lee said.
As part of the project, the Ha Noi Science and Technology University will develop an e-learning and training and a facility support centre.
The university project comes under the framework of a co-operation deal between South Korea and ASEAN countries that include Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Viet Nam.
Viet Nam meanwhile will support other countries acting within the technology hub.
KOIKA said Viet Nam had the most advanced informatic and technology infrastructure among the four countries.
More than 20 per cent of Viet Nam's State budget is spent on education.
It is hoped the project will raise training standards and boost e-learning in ASEAN.
The ASEAN Cyber University project was initiated at the Korea-ASEAN Summit in 2009. — VNS
