The latest edition of the "Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers" -- an ambitious program that, true to its title, brings new narrative or documentary feature films and their makers to venues across the South on a semi-regular basis, through April -- returns to Memphis at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 18) at the Malco Studio on the Square.
The first film couldn't be more appropriate: "How to Make Movies at Home" is a comedy about a group of D.I.Y. filmmakers that feels threatened when its home base of Hillport, Maine, is chosen as the location for a major network television program.
In particular, the town's self-appointed auteur in residence, verbose and scrappy waitress-by-day Jonah (Elizabeth Lardie), who favors heavy eyeliner, torn fishnets and the occasional fedora, believes the incursion of a free-spending professional crew will be a challenge to her merry band's integrity, freedom of expression and -- on a more selfish level -- coolest fish-in-a-small pond celebrity.
The movie's cleverly designed closing credits, presented as a sort of scrawled flow chart of shared responsibilities, name Morgan K. Nichols as "director, writer, producer, editor, etc. etc." Nichols will be at the Memphis screening to introduce his film and answer questions afterward.
In "How to Make Movies at Home," his third very low-budget feature, Nichols impressivley juggles the intertwined and sometimes romantic connections of a large cast of characters while inserting lessons in film craft and even film history into the story. A bit about German Expressionism comically recreates a scene from "Nosferatu"; more practically, Jonah demonstrates how a digital camera attached to a rollerskate and pulled on a line can function as a sort of low-angle Steadicam (or perhaps UnSteadicam), and how a smooth, elevated plank can serve as a short track for a dolly shot.
Jonah is proud -- even prideful? -- of her amateur status and her intentionally threadbare esthetic.She says she doesn't want to be "an industry stooge... I currently have complete creative control... I'm just trying to wring a little joy and meaning out of life." However, a hopeful young production assistant (Erik Moody) suggests the no-boyfriend-having Jonah's vaunted independence may be more a sign of fear than integrity; he challenges her to be more than "the Orson Welles of movies made in someone's driveway." And yet Jonah's wariness is not entirely unfounded, as we realize when an obnoxious TV producer (Oded Gross) tells Hillport's mayor: "We need your town. It's the perfect combination of tax breaks and a nostalgia for a world that never was. Or whatever."
The new Southern Circuit series represents the second time Memphis has been included on this "Tour of Independent Filmmakers." In 2011-2012, the touring films were presented at the Buckman Performing & Fine Arts Center at St. Mary's Episcopal School. Among the more auspicious selection that season were "Mississippi Damned," directed by Tupelo's Tina Mabry and shot by Bradford Young (cinematographer on the current "Ain't Them Bodies Saints"), and "Woodpecker" by Alex Karpovsky, who has since found fame as the acerbic Ray Ploshansky on Lena Dunham's HBO series, "Girls." Karpovsky incorporated some of his Memphis experiences into his hilarious and highly recommended followup feature, "Red Flag," which screened during the 2012 Indie Memphis Film Festival; he also recruited some Memphis crew (production manager Robin Salant) and actors (including Caroline White) for the project.
Below, you will find the full schedule of the new season of Southern Circuit films. To reiterate: Each film's director (accompanied at times by other participants) will be present to introduce and discuss the movie. All screenings are at 7:30 p.m. at the Studio on the Square.
Tickets are $8 each, or $6 for seniors. Admission is free for students and Indie Memphis, which is hosting the series here thanks to the sponsorship of the Department of Communication at the University of Memphis. The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers is a project of South Arts, a 38-year-old Atlanta-based nonprofit regional organization with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and other sources.
The schedule:
-- Oct. 16: "Birth of the Living Dead," by Rob Kuhns and Esther Cassidy. Now, THIS one I'm really looking forward to -- a documentary about the origins and making of George A. Romero's culture-changing (yes, I said it) 1968 zombie masterpiece, "Night of the Living Dead."
-- Nov. 20: "GMO OMG." Jeremy Seifert's activist documentary examines the controversy over GMO's -- the "genetically modified organisms" or "biotech foods" that are becoming more prevalent in our diets thanks to corporate copyrighting of seeds and other legal and technological developments.
-- Feb. 12: "The Iran Job," by Till Schauder and Sara Nodjoumi. Memphis basketballs fans are very aware that many of their favorite Tiger hoops stars pursue professional careers overseas after they fail to make an NBA roster. This documentary follows former Jacksonville University basketball star Kevin Sheppard as he accepts a job playing in Iran, where he discovers "politics is impossible to escape," even on a basketball court.
-- March 5: "Finding Hillywood" -- yes, that's Hillywood, not Hollywood. Leah Warshawski's documentary affirms the positive power of film and art in general as it examines the birth of Rwanda's film industry and looks at the pioneers who struggled to bring local movies to the rural communities of the country's rolling hillsides.
-- "The New Public," by Jyllian Gunther. This documentary follows students in and out of the classroom during the first four years of a new public high school in Brooklyn.

By John Spence, MarketWatch
BOSTON (MarketWatch) — For exchange-traded funds that invest in U.S. stocks, the middle seat has been quite comfortable.
The $12.2 billion SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF /quotes/zigman/585450/delayed/quotes/nls/mdy MDY +0.0079% recently pushed above its 2007 peak, while funds tracking blue-chip indexes — such as iShares S&P 500 Index Fund /quotes/zigman/259938/delayed/quotes/nls/ivv IVV -0.16% and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF /quotes/zigman/588977/delayed/quotes/nls/dia DIA -0.34% — remain below their pre-crisis levels.
Bond bubble about to burst?
SmartMoney's Janet Paskin reviews five ominous signs that the recent huge run-up by bonds could be threatened.
For the one-year period ended Feb. 4, the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF was up 38%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.18% by nearly 12 percentage points.
Small-capitalization portfolios such as iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund /quotes/zigman/260873/delayed/quotes/nls/iwm IWM +0.19% , meanwhile, are approaching their 2007 highs but aren't quite there yet.
"So many investors get caught up in round numbers in the Dow /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.33% and S&P 500," said Chris Kimble, head of investment-research firm Kimble Charting Solutions.
The Dow's ascent past the key psychological level of 12,000 has garnered headlines, while the S&P 500 recently vaulted over the 1,300 mark.
Yet the outperformance of U.S. midcap indexes "shows investors need to focus on relative strength," said Kimble, who recommends SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF.
"Midcaps look like we didn't even have a crisis in 2008," he said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
Another popular ETF for midcap stocks is iShares Russell Midcap Index Fund /quotes/zigman/288466/delayed/quotes/nls/iwr IWR -0.14% , with more than $6 billion in assets. The target benchmark comprises the 800 smallest stocks in the large-cap Russell 1000 Index.
The average market cap of the ETF's components was $8 billion at the end of 2010. The portfolio's top five holdings were Cummins Inc. /quotes/zigman/223917/delayed/quotes/nls/cmi CMI -1.13% , Priceline.com Inc. /quotes/zigman/90481/delayed/quotes/nls/pcln PCLN +0.42% , NetApp Inc. /quotes/zigman/109935/delayed/quotes/nls/ntap NTAP +1.20% , Weatherford International Ltd. /quotes/zigman/35200119/delayed/quotes/nls/wft WFT -2.39% and Eaton Corp. /quotes/zigman/13017293/delayed/quotes/nls/etn ETN -1.30% as of Feb. 7, according to manager BlackRock Inc.
/quotes/zigman/714403/delayed/quotes/nls/spy SPY 196.62, -0.33, -0.17%
Michael Rawson at research firm Morningstar Inc. said in a recent analyst report on the ETF that midcap shares have historically provided a slight performance premium relative to large-cap stocks.
"Midcap stocks tend to be more volatile because of narrower economic moats and a greater sensitivity to macroeconomic risks, but with this greater volatility comes ... the expectation for higher returns," Rawson wrote.
However, the analyst warned that the performance of smaller stocks "can vary drastically over time," while the return premium "has reliably appeared only over periods of a decade or more."
Other ETF options to consider in the space include iShares S&P MidCap 400 Index Fund /quotes/zigman/260785/delayed/quotes/nls/ijh IJH +0.01% , Vanguard Mid Cap ETF /quotes/zigman/1484922/delayed/quotes/nls/vo VO -0.26% and Vanguard Extended Market ETF /quotes/zigman/1479122/delayed/quotes/nls/vxf VXF +0.06% , Rawson said.

UCCS commencement a milestone for Paralympian
December 18, 2013 Tom Hutton, (719) 255-3439, (719) 351-6519, email@example.com Phil Denman, (719) 255-3732, firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - It's tough to top the thrill of a Paralympic opening ceremony.
But a graduating University of Colorado Colorado Springs student thinks the December 2013 UCCS Commencement Ceremonies will come close.
Bryce Boarman, 23, of Colorado Springs, a prospective graduate of the UCCS College of Business Sports Management Program, will join an estimated 450 other prospective December graduates during a 2 p.m. Dec. 20 ceremony at the Colorado Springs World Arena, 3185 Venetucci Boulevard. There, CU and UCCS dignitaries will offer remarks and officially confer degrees.
Four generations - siblings to great-grandparents - will cheer for Boarman Friday. That's two more generations than were able to visit London in 2012 when he represented the United States in the Paralympic sport of seven-a-side football or, as it is known in the U.S., soccer. He turned 22 the same day as the opening ceremonies.
"It's going to be cool in the same way," Boarman said. "Getting to the Paralympics was an achievement just as finishing my degree is an achievement."
As an infant, Boarman was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, an umbrella term for a congenital non-progressive, non-contagious condition that restricts body movement, often the legs and hands. Early on, Boarman developed an "impossible is nothing" philosophy that led him to the soccer field at age 6 and, eventually, an invitation to play on the U.S. Paralympic team.
"I've had people ask me if I could go back in time and be born without a disability, would I?" Boarman said. "I got lucky. For me, this has been a blessing. I've gotten to travel the world and play soccer."
Bryce Boarman leaves the field at the 2012 Paralympic Games
Even before graduating from UCCS, Boarman is working on the next chapter in his life, enrolling as a graduate student at the University of Northern Colorado. He sees additional education as a necessary step toward his goal of a professional position in sports, possibly with the U.S. Olympic Committee or a national governing body for amateur sports. A job, and his favorite class at UCCS, sports marketing, was top of mind as he talked this week.
"Marketing deals with the events and interaction with athletes," Boarman said. "I don't necessarily want a job where I'm in the office all the time. I'd like to be around the sport itself. Choosing marketing or the event management side of things gets me more involved."
As in past years, commencement ceremonies will broadcast live online. To watch the approximately 90-minute ceremony on Dec. 20, visit www.uccs.edu/commencement/fall-ceremony.html.
The ceremonies will be rebroadcast on Comcast Channel 20, and posted to YouTube with closed captioning provided by the UCCS Office of Disability Services and Communication Access Services. For a schedule of the broadcasts, and other details, visit www.uccs.edu/commencement.
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs, located on Austin Bluffs Parkway in Colorado Springs, is one of the fastest growing universities in the nation. The University offers 37 bachelor's degrees, 19 master's and five doctoral degrees. UCCS enrolls about 10,500 students on campus annually and another 2,000 in online programs. For more information, visit www.uccs.edu.

Newton Mayor Setti Warren has just announced that he will be a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Republican Scott Brown.
As mayor, Warren said in a press release that he has put Newton back on a financially sustainable path, while maintaining critical community services. He also said he has saved Newton taxpayers $8 million while delivering two balanced budgets. The Warren press release says he intends to remain a strong, involved, and hands-on mayor throughout the upcoming campaign.
Warren is an Iraq War veteran, and served a year-long tour of duty there as a naval intelligence specialist, before being elected mayor. He also worked in the Clinton White House, and has been the New England Regional Director of FEMA. He has served as John Kerry's point man for small businesses in Massachusetts.
Warren's campaign will officially kick-off tomorrow, Tuesday, with a service breakfast at American Legion Post 440 in Newton. Mayor Warren says he will speak about his values of shared responsibility and about his plan to serve Massachusetts. A press conference and media availability will follow.

I have managed to find the best nasi lemak special in Sibu while having lunch just now. It's located at Huang Chuang Cafe near Methodist High School.
The stall is a Muslim stall and it was recommended by Fang Ling who is something of a regular diner over there.
The nice lady at the stall will ask if you want curry chicken or ayam masak hitam (chicken with soy sauce).
You can also choose the parts of the chicken you prefer (drums are popular, as well as thigh meat).
The nasi lemak special is served with sambal and a fried egg on top of the fragrant santan (coconut milk) rice. The chicken is served on a separate bowl.
Faye went for the ayam masak hitam. It's really good – not too spicy, with flavorful hints of cinnamon.
Fang Ling and I went for the curry chicken. The curry is spicy, yet with sweet overtones. The place doesn't add santan like it's going out of style too. It has just the right balance of spices and coconut milk.
The best thing about it? It only costs RM 3.50.
12 Responses to "The best Nasi Lemak Special"
damn that looks good. subang jaya SS14 230pm nasi lemak does the trick for me. yes, she really only opens for business at 2pm, but the fried chicken is never ready before 230pm. but no way for RM3.50 here!
Aiyo i prefer this than my regular nasi lemak :( usually the best i can get for RM3.50 is fried drumstick with one whole boiled egg.
But this is better ish. Too bad u don't work in Kuching if not u can feature kuching food hahaha wait i got visit sibu then i will drop by here to have a taste if it's still open!
Hey HB, just heard that you are back!!!! YAY for me…..I am visiting Kuching in July for 3 weeks and reading your food blogs are playing tricks on me…I can literally taste the damn food in my mouth! :-)
nasi lemak?!? masak hitam!?! fried egg?!? teh c peng??!?
*googles recipes*
see you all in a bit!
*gets cooking*
Nothing special with the Nasi Lemak, its more to add on side menu to me.Anyway the curry and masak hitam chicken looks delicious.Its been a while didn't see you cook maybe post 1 next time ;p
For me, the main ingredient that makes nasi lemak taste good is the sambal. If the sambal is good, it has already scored 70/100. Other 30 is for the nasi, ikan masin/bilis and other side dishes.
Curry ayam is not the important part cos the original version nasi lemak doesn't included curry ayam.
I do like SUGARBUN's nasi lemak. I enjoy their sambal, don't know about other la. U can go have a try. Can choose with or without curry ayam.
PS: I am NOT promoting SugarBun here. Just to share my opinion.
that is hell cheap! is like.. AUD1.20!!!
if i ever get to go there, i will eat my gut out!! ;)
Next time u should try to eat Umai.
Hey Bro, I don't know how you do it, in case u're wondering, I'm talking bout sixthseal. Where and How do you find time to do all these updates in such a short while. Base on what i gathered from 6thseal, u're working full time, u socialize a lot, and you PLAY hard, (not to mention GALS), after all these, yet you still can post up so many updates….!!! Just one word, impressive!!! 6thseal the best! Peace !
sighs asian food non for me till I go back….
essentric: You know, the best nasi lemak I ever had in KL is at the nasi lemak palembang stall at Wisma Genting in Jalan Sultan Ismail. It's very popular and it's simply divine!
DeV|LisH: I am actually going to Kuching this coming Saturday for the long holidays! =D
Skwermy: Great! We can meet up if you're in Kuching in June/July. I'll be heading to Kuching this Saturday too.
JW: I have always wondered what ayam masak merah and ayam masak hitam actually uses for its gravy…
Roland: I might if I have access to proper kitchen facilities. Since my parents don't cook, our kitchen is rather neglected since we all eat out.
Wilson: I agree (with the sambal thing, not the Sugarbun thing). Sugarbun's nasi lemak doesn't do it for me. Their curry chicken rice is good though, and their fish fillet kicks McDonald's in the ass.
P/S – I don't mind anyone promoting Sugarbun since I actually own Sugarbun shares. Seriously, I think I've mentioned it before on the blog.
cynthia: I wonder if it would get through the (in)famous Australian quarantine if it's frozen before shipping. Probably not coz of the egg and sambal.
Fa: I have eaten umai made by one of my Melanau friends. I've had the commercial stuff in Mukah too. Where is a good place for it in Sibu? I know Little Rock House (?) Cafe advertises it on their menu.
nightsun: Oh well, at least it's nostalgic to look at the photos. ;)
Myst3: Thanks for the support bro! I missed your comment the first time round coz MT filed it under spam. Just saw it today while spring cleaning.
Anyway, about sixthseal.com – the reason I can do this is coz I don't sleep much. I have a full time job, social obligations and relationships so after all that is done, I get home at around 12 am, maybe 1 am and I write. I can write pretty fast so probably one entry would take me half an hour or an hour the most (including photos). It's 2:26 am now and I'm still awake. I wake up at 6:30 am so I get less than 4 hours of sleep each day. Don't know how long I can keep this up though. :)

The tale of a 1900 port
The story I'm going to tell you today started a few years ago at one of the best restaurants in Spain, Hispania, in the tourist resort of Arenys de Mar, 40 km north of Barcelona. Hispania and its two cooks and owners, sisters Paquita and Lolita Rexach, are a legend. A living legend. They have been serving superb traditional food, using only the very best seasonal ingredients, for over 50 years. And thanks to them (and some others, read on) we had the most amazing breakfast (yes, breakfast!), which some would describe as decadent, involving a bottle of 1900 port among other things. Hispania was originally a very well-situated petrol...

Where Are They Now: Charisma Carpenter, AKA Cordelia From 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'
March 22nd, 2013 9:03pm EDT
You probably remember Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia Chase from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, but did you know she was named after a perfume? Catch up with Charisma with some of the latest photos and fun facts on the following pages.
Charisma was born July 23, 1970, in Las Vegas. Her mom named her after the Avon perfume, which debuted in 1968. At a young age she performed in dance troupes.
After high school, Carpenter traveled Europe and settled in San Diego. There she worked as a cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers. In 1991, Carpenter and some of her friends were attacked by a serial rapist. After her friends forced him to flee, he was caught by local police. The man was sentenced to 56 years in jail after Carpenter presented evidence of his attack.
Charisma's break came when an agent spotter her waiting tables in Los Angeles to pay for her college tuition. Her first role was on Baywatch in 1994.
In 1996 Charisma tried out for the role of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but was instead offered the role of Cordelia Chase. After three years on Buffy, she was offered an expanded role on the spin-off Angel.
The scars her character gets from a fall in the Buffy show are real - Charisma was injured as a child when she fell into an empty pool and was pierced by rebar.
After learning that she sky-dived for her 26th birthday, WB made her sign a clause to refrain from the hobby for the remainder of her contract.
In 2001 she guest-starred in an episode of Lifetime's The Division in an episode based on her real-life rapist attack.
After Angel wrapped, Charisma posed in Playboy in part to celebrate the loss of 50 pounds after her son was born. She told People, "I did Playboy for a very specific reason. Not only was it a good financial move, but it was about the place I was at in my life. I had just had my son and I'd gained 50 lbs. during pregnancy. I wanted to get back to my old self. I wanted to feel desirable and sexy. So I thought, 'What if I went full throttle?"
Charisma tries to sign all of her autographs with a personal greeting, which pleases real fans while cutting down on her autographs showing up for sale online.
Charisma is currently featured in The Lying Game on ABC Family. She has also appeared in The Expendables and its sequel.

FORT McMURRAY, Canada — From his perch behind the wheel of a heavy-hauler truck 23 feet above ground, Lucas Crisby peers out over a seemingly limitless moonscape of black, sticky sand.
Oil has been good to Crisby. With his $62,000 annual salary, he recently sold a starter home and purchased a $338,000, four-bedroom house a few doors from where he grew up. That's a significant achievement for a 20-year-old without a college degree and only a few years of work experience.

State schools don't verify citizen status
Every student admitted to a state university or college since 2013 has had to sign an affidavit swearing he or she is a legal U.S. resident in order to qualify for the in-state tuition rate. But the system doesn't verify their immigration status.
"Wouldn't you think there'd be a process the university has to enforce or verify? I would," Ladd said Saturday after the New Hampshire Sunday News highlighted the verification issue.
He doesn't think illegal aliens under his bill would falsify documents and risk arrest to save more than $50,000 over a four-year college career.
Many students who entered the United States illegally "were brought here as young people by their parents" and shouldn't be punished because they aren't legal U.S. citizens, he said.
"The U.S. Department of Education is involved in who is eligible for federal students aid; not legal status law," department spokesman Jane Glickman said in an email.
"While the governor has not yet had an opportunity to review the legislation and discuss it with University System officials, she believes that fully including all members of our communities is critical for New Hampshire's economic success and will closely follow the measure as it is considered by the Senate," said the governor's spokesman, Marc Goldberg.
Under the bill, students would have to meet other current requirements for in-state tuition and admission standards. They would need to have lived in the state for at least three years and have graduated from a New Hampshire high school or a program that produced a high school equivalency certificate.
"USNH follows the current law and will abide by any changes," Mantz said.
Currently, students receiving in-state tuition must have lived in New Hampshire for at least one year.
Ladd said the proposed bill requires a three-year minimum for undocumented students. "It's actually more harsh than for an out-of-state student," who may later qualify for in-state tuition by making his or her permanent home in the Granite State after only one year, Ladd said.
"How do we explain to the voters and the taxpayers of New Hampshire they are going to have to subsidize $13,000 a year more to people who came here illegally," asked Rep. Joe Duarte, R-Candia.
"New Hampshire shouldn't be penalizing these students for our federal government not taking action on providing some kind of immigration reform for these students," Mesa said.
"We're talking estimated projections," Ladd said. "Nobody knows. People aren't coming in saying they're illegal."
To calculate how many illegal immigrants in New Hampshire might qualify for in-state tuition under the bill, Ladd started with a statistic from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stating 11.9 million illegal immigrants live in the United States. There are also an estimated 50,000 to 65,000 undocumented students graduating from high school in the United States, according to figures quoted by the National Conference of State Legislatures and others. That means for every undocumented student, there are between 183 and 238 illegal immigrants, Ladd said.
"No matter how we slice the number, the figures are not huge, but most importantly to me, it's not about the numbers but the opportunity for any child who graduates from a NH high school and who meets conditions of this bill to move forward with his or her educational aspirations at in-state costs and to become a productive member of society," Ladd said in an email.
David Ryan, an assistant Manchester school superintendent, said state law requires all students ages 6 to 17 to be enrolled in school.
He said new students enrolling in Manchester must provide proof of residency among other documents, "but we do not require a birth certificate."
"We do not ascertain legal or illegal residential status per protections afforded through the Office of Civil Rights," Ryan said.

Project sharkwatch
A porbeagle swims away carrying the first satellite tag to be deployed on these sharks in UK waters.
Cage-diving with porbeagle sharks off Cornwall is quite a challenge - but it can be done, declares Richard Peirce, following a revealing expedition this summer
, angler Chris Bennett caught a porbeagle shark weighing 229kg, which is the world record.
I wonder how many divers realise that sharing British seas with them is a 36-stone first cousin of the great white!
Bennett caught his shark 400m off the cliffs at Dunnett Head in the Pentland Firth. There is no record of a shark this size being caught off Cornwall but
135-180kg sharks are common both close in behind the surf line and on wrecks and reefs.
Porbeagle sharks are skittish, nervous and avoid humans, so divers will be very lucky to see one. Through my Shark Cornwall cage-diving project I hoped to achieve a world first by finding a way to get into the water with them. So this July I, along with seven volunteers, ran the first porbeagle-specific shark expedition off North Cornwall.
We were aiming for a whole series of breakthroughs. We wanted to be the first to deploy satellite tags on porbeagles on this side of the Atlantic; to achieve the first decent-quality underwater footage plus reasonable still images of these sharks; and to observe them on the surface and work out how to get cage-divers in the water with them.
This summer's unsettled weather was well-established by the time of the expedition, so we were lucky to lose only one the six days planned at sea.
Four of the five satellite tags were supplied by Nick Pade, a student from Aberdeen University doing his PhD on porbeagle sharks, and I provided the fifth. Costing more than ?1500 each,
the tags had to be handled with care - and we needed to be sure that, once deployed, they would stay on the shark.
we were working were kept secret, because these sharks are a very easy target for commercial longline fishing. The last thing we wanted was to provide a map to guide fishermen to kill them.
Our fears were well-founded. The week after our expedition finished, we received reports of a longliner, working only a few miles away around Lundy, catching and killing over 60 sharks.
During our five days working with the sharks we observed a sex mix biased towards females, which probably represented 70% of the animals we encountered. The catching of 60 of these critically endangered sharks, mostly female, will have had a devastating effect on that local population.
I knew that obtaining underwater images, both still and moving, would be difficult, because porbeagles are nervous around humans. Twice before porbeagles had been around my RIB after chumming and I had tried to slip into the water to get shots.
On one occasion I dropped in on the opposite side to where the shark was, and by the time I had sneaked round the back of the boat, it was long gone.
The other time I had repeated the tactic but with only slightly more success. I saw the shark do a fast crossing pass in the distance, angling towards me, but it jinked away just as I was thinking a shot might be possible.
Those of you who have dived with white or blue sharks in chummed situations will know that they often appear almost lazy or laid-back as they make their passes at the cage. But there's nothing lazy or laid back about porbeagles. They're like Ferraris that have overdosed on speed.
I knew that the best chance of getting images lay in remote methods. Once we had footage and images we could then experiment with getting into the water with the sharks.
Simon Spear was the expedition's videographer. Using a polecam, and assisted by Mike Sharland and David Green with a back-up camera, he obtained good footage on day one!
We had five different sharks around our boat, and it could easily have been double that number.
As soon as we had a shark in our chummed area it would find the bait tube. We would try and work it towards the boat by drawing in the tube and getting it close enough to the polecam. We grabbed still images from the movie footage obtained.
I had assumed that the satellite tagging would be relatively easy if we found large enough sharks. We had planned to catch sharks for tagging at the start of the expedition before moving on to the more difficult photography.
As it was, the difficult part had been achieved first. I was delighted that we could now play for the rest of the week!
we deployed four out of five of our satellite tags, which are set to pop off the shark after a certain time, floating to the surface and transmitting data gathered.
We deployed one set for 30, two for 60 and three for 90 days. At the end of these periods, we'd know where the sharks had been. The sharks needed to be big enough to take the tags but not so big that getting them onboard would endanger sharks or humans - sometimes a tricky call. As well as tagging we collected fin-tips for DNA analysis and comparison with porbeagles in the USA.
We had to catch the sharks on rod and line, but did all we could to minimise their discomfort, and all swam away apparently none the worse. At the time of writing the tags have just started popping off the sharks.
In the second week of August we received reports that the longliner that had caught the 60 sharks around Lundy was now catching sharks where we
had been tagging them. At that point we became concerned that the population we had discovered would be depleted, and the tag deployments curtailed.
During the video/photo part of the week I had an excellent opportunity to study the sharks free-swimming near the boat, and to work out how to approach cage-diving with them.
It's a problem well worth cracking, because these sharks would be really exciting to view under water.
They are so wary of us that any potential danger to us seemed offset by the challenge of getting them close enough for a good look or a shot. They are also really reactive to chum.
At one time I thought they were darting in and buzzing the pole camera, before I realised that it was in the water right beside the chum bag.
The mirrored bait tube had proved a very successful tool with blue sharks, and so it was with the porbeagles. They never tried to grab it but always checked it out, giving me hope that we could use it to work them up to a cage.
meant using a cage, but not so much for the safety of humans as to keep them under control in one place. Snorkellers or divers finning around and blowing bubbles looking for and chasing the sharks would mean - no sharks.
If we had the cage over the side from the time of arrival and at the start of chumming, the sharks would approach the boat with the cage as part of the profile. We would have one chum tube 12-15m out, and another clipped on a line floating 2m from the cage, then slip the diver into the cage once the sharks had arrived and got used to the set-up.
Let's hope that cage-diving can demonstrably give these sharks a real live value. This will eventually stop instances of overfishing wiping out local populations.

Firestorm: the Nuclear Man #25
What a fun comic book.
What a fun comic book.
So far the Jonah Hex revival has been wonderful.
You might have missed it in all the talk of crises and civil wars, but the Black Panther is marrying Storm of the X-Men.
It's funny, I tend to run hot and cold on Robert Kirkman's Marvel series, but I've yet to read a disappointing issue of Invincible .
It completely snuck up on me, but I think I have a new favorite comic.
Talk about going out on a high note.
I've been staring at this collection for about three weeks now, and I'm having trouble finding the right words to describe it.
Remember back-up stories? Back-up stories represented the lost art of providing extra stories for the reader's quarter (or $1.
First of all, that new Spider-Man costume? Hideous.
So a few weeks ago I reviewed Strange Girl #7 and gave it a really positive review.

If you have something to say or want to hear about municipal business on the agenda in , tonight's the night this month.
Lacking a quorum at the last minute, the borough council meeting was switched from Monday to tonight at Borough Hall at 6 p.m., rather than the usual 7:30. And, if you're interested, the Planning Board meets at 7 p.m.
There are a few items on the agenda tonight that may pique residents' interest.
Here's a sneak peek preview:
• Fair Haven, as the lead agency in the new Rumson-Fair Haven Municipal Alliance to Prevent Drug and Alcohol Abuse, is expected to appoint, by resolution, a program coordinator, who will source grants and, well, coordinate the program.
A resolution establishing the interlocal agreement for the Alliance is also on the agenda.
• The borough is in the process of getting a plan underway to incorporate bike paths into the StreetScape program by "establishing and adopting," via resolution, a Complete Streets policy. Such a policy will set in motion the parameters for making the streets more cyclist- and pedestrian-friendly.
• An ordinance is slated for introduction to create the title of director of Engineering and Public Works and assistant director. There is a resolution on the agenda to hire Richard Gardella as the director.
• A resolution is also on the agenda to authorize tailgating for the Tour de Fair Haven bicycle run in August.
• Christopher Rumph has also submitted a letter of resignation from the Shade Tree Commission.
On a final note, there's a strange item on the agenda calling for discussion of "Garbage Can Speed Reminders." Who knew there was a problem with garbage cans speeding through town here? Next time you see one, let us know.

Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture
Helping individuals obtain the skills, technology and resources they need to build successful businesses that drive innovation
The Entrepreneur Curriculum, developed at UC Berkeley, is the effort of many of the full-time and adjunct faculty within the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship. Dr. Jerry Engel led the effort to develop the curriculum. More information on their overall program can be found at Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Haas School of Business.
The Entrepreneur Curriculum is a full academic year of courses that can be offered at the last year of an undergraduate program or in a Masters program. It is best implemented where there are local entrepreneurs who can mentor students or be guest speakers and provide insight on the real experiences. This curriculum targets high technology startup companies and will appeal to entrepreneurs in both the engineering and business disciplines.
Intel sponsors entrepreneurial programs and competitions throughout the world. You can find additional entrepreneur resources, including books and websites here.

Q & A on maintenance26/03/2010
1. I understand that 'no maintenance' surfaces do not exist but are some simpler/cheaper to maintain than others and is this an area of development that you are looking at?
There is no such thing as a maintenance free all weather pitch. That said, with regular care and attention most modern 3G (long pile with sand and rubber infill) pitches will only require 1-3 full maintenance sessions a year (depending on usage). The key to reducing the full maintenance requirement each year is through carrying out regular in-house maintenance. This involves drag-brushing the surface on a weekly basis which will lift the fibres to encourage consistent ball roll and prevent premature and concentrated wear.
Technological advances in yarn extrusion have meant that the development of profiled yarns has been vast over recent years and this has many advantages, including potentially reducing the requirement for maintenance. A profiled yarn is effectively a yarn that has a shape or spine running through it, which not only means the finished grass looks more realistic but it also encourages blade recovery when the product is in use. Rather than a flat or straight yarn, a profiled yarn has built in vertical memory, so once it has been played or trodden on it will spring back upright and return to its original form.
2. Whats the impact of correct maintenance on the performance and lifespan of the various surfaces?
Like anything, correct maintenance will improve performance and possibly increase the lifespan of a product. You wouldn't buy a car and expect it to sustain optimum performance without ever putting it in for a service or MOT. In order to regulate synthetic turf performance, there are a number of industry and sport governing bodies that have set testing standards and issue certification to ensure health and safety and quality measures are met. Regular and correct maintenance should ensure these standards are continually met and will also help to reduce the risk of compaction and contamination within the pitch which could eventually decrease its life expectancy.
3. What does your customers' perceptions and approaches to maintenance tend to be
Although we suggest to our customers that a maintenance programme of little and often is key, there is a varied response to this. Most groundskeepers and caretakers that we have worked with take great pride in looking after their surfaces and implement a weekly regime of litter picking and gentle brushing to keep the turf clean and well manicured. On the odd occasion, we are called out to assess synthetic turf pitches that are underperforming or looking tired and tatty. In most circumstances this is due to a lack of care and little or no maintenance. Budget invariably is used an excuse as to why a pitch has not been looked after but by comparison to the total cost of a pitch installation, maintenance equipment would equate to a tiny percentage and is something that should be considered and built into the budget from the offset. Through a lack of regular maintenance from day1, problems develop in systems, often leading to considerable costs. Usually these costs will largely overshadow that of an initial investment and routine. Regular maintenance is simple and should take very little time if practiced on a weekly basis, fortunately the vast majority of our customers embrace this concept and long-term will reap its rewards.
4. Any tips and advice for facilities that are considering installing synthetic surfaces to get the best out of them.
Top tips from TigerTurf
Always use experienced installation teams, if the installation is poor you will have problems from the start
Ensure maintenance equipment is built into the budget from the offset
Seek advice on a maintenance regime – your predicted usage should determine this
Keep the surface free of litter and natural debris as much as possible
Instil a maintenance programme from day 1 – once a problem occurs it becomes very difficult and costly to rectify
Only allow players to use correct footwear

Mary Kate Olsen was spotted at the grand opening celebration of "Otarian: The Planet Most Sustainable Restaurant".
The actress/fashion designer arrived at the Bleecker Street eatery in New York City sporting a very casual look jeans and a black shirt.
I may not have looked at her twice has she not worn this green Dries Van Noten Spring 2010 floral print jacket.
The jacket is gorgeous.
I'm not usually a fan of Mary-Kate's shabby chic, but I don't hate this look.
For once she doesn't look like she was dragged out of bed.

With "Life of Riley," Zeitgeist Stage Company returns to the relationship comedy of British playwright Alan Ayckbourn, which it does so well. David J. Miller's deft direction finds just the right blend of tragedy and hilarity in Ayckbourn's play about three couples coping with the news of their mutual friend's impending death. In a clever twist, the friend, George Riley, never appears onstage, but the havoc he wreaks on the others' lives becomes fodder for great comic drama as they rally round. Of course, George has a reputation for being immature and irresponsible: One character describes him as a kind of hippie Peter Pan.
All of the people in George's life are at low points in their marriages: Kathryn (Maureen Adduci), wed to dull doctor Colin (Peter Brown), has become a secret drinker; Tamsin (Shelley Brown) seethes as she waits for her husband, Jack (Victor Shopov), to end his latest affair; and George's wife, Monica (Angela Smith), has left him for the stability of a taciturn farmer (Brooks Reeves).

By Robb Murray
Free Press Staff Writer
MANKATO — Chris Powers reaches into her cart of groceries and pulls out a jumbo pack of whole carrots.
She hands them to the Hy-Vee cashier and says, "I think we're gonna put these back. If we have money left over, we might take them."
She and her partners load the rest of their groceries up and watch as the total climbs — $33.71, $58.12, $98.94, $124.13.
"Uh-oh," she says. "Take a few of those apples out."
The clerk complies, removing two apples from cute little paper bag with the white handle. New total: $122.43.
"Take one more out.
New total: $120.78. Finally, Powers and the rest of her group can afford the groceries they have. And they did not get to throw back in that extra bag of carrots.
Powers doesn't normally shop like this. Neither do the other members of her group: Barb Kaus of Carlson Craft, Blue Earth County Administrator Bob Meyer and Ridley CEO Steve Von Roekel. But today's visit wasn't about getting groceries. It was about understanding hunger.
The four are all members of the United Way's board of directors. And while they were at Hy-Vee, other groups of United Way board members were at other grocery stores, including both Cub Food locations, the hilltop Hy-Vee and Walmart.
The idea was to give the board an idea of what many families go through every day in the Mankato area and throughout Minnesota. Gov. Mark Dayton has declared January SNAP Outreach Month. SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and is designed to supplement a family's efforts to have enough to eat.
As the United Way groups shopped, they were working on a scenario that, for many families, is very real: Brian Carlson and Jenny Carlson are married with two kids. Brian loses his job and, because of the state of the economy, is unable to find work with a comparable wage. After burning through their savings, the family is forced to seek help.
Given a fictional set of parameters to account for mortgage, utilities and other family expenses, the scenario left the family with $121 to feed a family of four for a week. And that's where the groups began Tuesday.
They took a methodical approach. Meyer was assigned the task of keeping track of their running total on his smart phone. Von Roekel pushed the cart. And Kaus and Powers did most of the filling of the cart.
Kaus, who has shopped hundreds of times to feed three boys and a husband, said she's never had to shop in a manner where every penny mattered. She said she learned something Tuesday.
"To be in their shoes, to feel what they feel ... It's hard," Kaus said.
Meyer said he does a lot of the shopping in his house. And while he doesn't always do it with a calculator in his hand, he says he's no stranger to pushing a cart through grocery store aisles.
Having to keep track of everything in the cart, he said, transforms the experience.
"It adds a certain level of stress to be limited by financial resources," Meyer said.
He said going through this exercise gives them a good perspective on how people are struggling in these tough economic times. In his work with the county, he said he's seen many cases where people come to the county for help. In most cases, he said, it's not people who simply don't want to work. It's people down on their luck who need something to supplement their efforts to get by.
That's what made Tuesday's exercise so valuable. But Meyer said he's not naive enough to think a trip through the grocery store can allow him to know how it feels to struggle.
"Not having to go home and cook all these meals," he said, "that's a perspective we're not going to get."
Powers has that perspective. It wasn't that long ago that she was a struggling college student with a young son she needed to feed. So for her, every trip to the grocery store in those days meant pulling out a calculator and a bringing along a detailed list.
For Powers, Tuesday's exercise was a reminder of how quickly a person's situation can change, and of how little people actually know about hunger.
"I don't think people in Mankato realize how many people are hungry in Mankato," she said.

Moh. Visuals (@MohVisuals) Launches New Site
We always love when a local creative company that we've never heard of before sends in a submission - it makes the local community feel even more established and talent-filled. Enter Moh. Visuals, a 3D Visualization & Design company that has been around since 2005.
We've officially launched our new website. It's been a lot of extra-long hours focusing the content into a message that defines us. We wanted the imagery to speak for itself and convey what we do best: creating award winning, visually resonating, "Our Client Was Blown Away" 3D renderings, animation and design
Moh. is clearly trying to corner whatever 3D market there is here in St. Louis by identifying each individual industry they can help out with support from an extensive portfolio highlighting all of the niches that support 3D Design. Sometimes this inundation of work can be overwhelming to a potential client but it might work to their (business development) advantage in straightforward show & tell instead of having to answer the "Can you do this?" type requests. Maybe less is not always moh…
Shut up - it's been weeks since our last awful pun.

Tether Your iPhone, Even If Your Carrier Doesn't Allow It
Tethering is a great thing. Until recently, I'd been quite unfamiliar with the service, which is fortunately provided by my carrier (Vodafone UK). I found myself in a cafe away from a Wi-Fi network, with more than a couple of hours to kill (and a lot of work to do). After a five minute phone call with a Vodafone rep, I was tethered and ready to go – browsing through the web all thanks to my iPhone 4, which I then loved all the more.
However, not everyone is lucky enough to be with a carrier that allows tethering – with many having to fork out for the expensive alternative, MyWi. Here's what Dev-Team member, MuscleNerd, had to say (via Twitter) regarding that particular application:
For those wise enough to not spend ridiculous $20 on MyWi, look into the $2 TetherMe app now, and yet another in next week.
Wise words from a wise man. TetherMe turns your iPhone into a modem, and allows users to hook up to the Internet in the same way they would through Apple's built-in tethering feature: Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering. However, if you do decide to use TetherMe, be sure to remember that additional charges may be applied.
So, what are you waiting for? If your carrier doesn't support Internet tethering, be sure to check out TetherMe (which is available now in Cydia), and let us know how it works for you in the comments box below! Thanks to iSpazio for spotting this.
