We all know that consumer reviews work online, so it makes sense to apply this tactic in an offline setting, on TV, print ads and elsewhere.
I'm writing this as a result of the recent launch of Reevoo Everywhere, a new product designed to enable brands to use reviews across different channels, but it's perhaps surprising that this hasn't been tried before, or at least not so I've noticed.
So, can this tactic work, and how can brands use reviews offline?

cookies, IP addresses and individual search histories. In the

awareness of their rights and the challenges to them, by using clear
and understandable language. It also recommends helping users understand
the default settings of their profiles - which should be privacy-friendly
- and make informed choices about their online identity. The Recommendation

It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they do battle with the pirate-hating Queen Victoria and team up with a young Charles Darwin, but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!

Reid Gates claimed two wins and two meet records at Saturday's Frank Woodburn Invitational. Gates cleared 6 feet, 8 inches to win the high jump, and soared 21 feet, 9.25 inches to win the long jump.
A total of five men's records were broken at this year's meet, hosted by Palisade High School and held at Stocker Stadium in Grand Junction. The other three records were claimed by Coal Ridge High School, which won the meet with 121 points. Cedaredge scored 76.5 points to place third out of 21 teams.
Dante Markley placed in four events, including the 200 (2nd, 23.37), the 300m hurdles (2nd, 42.31), the 110m hurdles (third, 16.73), and the 100-meter dash (5th, 11.6). Markley is ranked in the top 10 in the state in each of the four events.
Austin Williams hasn't yet competed at a state track meet, but that is likely to change. On Saturday, Williams won the shot put with a throw of 51 feet, 2 inches for the win. The throw is also the best recorded this season in Class 3A competition.
Williams (not to be mistaken with William Austin of Paonia) also landed in the top 10 in state competition in the discus, throwing 139 feet, 7 inches to place third.
Gates also competed in the 200m, and placed fourth with a time of 23.49. Shane Gates placed fifth in the high jump, and Steton Brewer placed seventh in the 100 hurdles and fifth in the 300m hurdles.

Finishing third was the 800m team of Summer Herman, Rachael Latta, Rebecca Deal and Mackenzie Kehmeier (1:50.47), and the 400-meter team of Herman, Amber Jenkins, Latta and McHugh (51.65), and the 1600m team of Kenzie Henderson, McHugh, Freeman and Kehmeier (4:15.97).
Henderson also placed fourth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 62.06. Kehmeier was 1-100th of a second away from placing third; she placed fourth in the high jump with a height of 4 feet, 10 inches.
Deal finished third in the long jump with a distance of 15-05.25.
All four of the relay teams that placed Saturday are currently ranked in the top three in state 3A competition. The 1600m team is ranked first.

Jason Lange, an adult industry promoter, agrees with Redner that Tampa-area clubs probably won't receive a windfall because of the RNC.
"A lot of people are thinking it's going to be a super home run, but it's not," said Lange, who has booked some private parties for RNC-goers and is bringing in porn stars as entertainers at certain clubs during that week. "The Mitt Romneys aren't going to go into adult entertainment clubs."
Nonetheless, police have cracked down on strip clubs recently. During a recent sting at several area strip clubs, Tampa officers arrested 16 women on prostitution charges at area strip clubs. A news release said officials were trying to deter prostitution and human trafficking during the upcoming convention. No one was arrested at Redner's Mons Venus club.
Other strip club owners in Tampa are more optimistic than Lange about seeing more customers; 2001 Odyssey's Kleinhans said he's put in a VIP area for the RNC, complete with a private entrance around the side of the club, so anyone who wants to sneak in unannounced can do so.
Redner refuses to do that for his customers.
"I can't play to that part of human nature," sniffs Redner. "If you gotta hide from what you're doing, you shouldn't be doing it."
Folks have been wondering what Redner will do during the RNC. Will he protest and get arrested, like he did when President George W. Bush and his brother, Jeb, held a Tampa rally in 2008? Will he offer some outrageous promotion at The Mons? Tip reporters off if a famous politician comes into the club?
Nope. None of that.
He's going to be in Vegas, for a gentlemen's club expo. He's the keynote speaker.
"I went back and forth on whether to go," he said. "But really, my presence isn't necessary."

A recap of a couple of fun 'you got your music in my ruby' tools, a few gem updates, and a few useful gems to add to your toolbox on this edition of Ruby5. We recorded before the announcement, but its worth noting that Rails 3.2.5 was released last night.
This episode is sponsored by New Relic. New Relic gives you performance monitoring, tracking, and reporting of your web applications.
Running your own CI with Drone and Docker, building web-based RubyMotion apps with Under OS, funding for the Hello Ruby book, rubygems.org operating costs, Rails 4 assets on Heroku, and turning your text on its head with flippit all in this episode of the Ruby5.
It's pattern-mania this week with: interactors, adapters and components-based architectures. Omniref allows us to take a step back to look at dependencies between popular Ruby libraries and we learn about RubyMotion gotchas for Rails developers.

Bottle poured into NB globe... Thanks Chad! A very hazy burnt orange color with a two finger head, good retention but not a ton of lacing. Smell is a mix of the two yeasts, lots of fruity esters. A light malty sweetness but the belgian yeast strain definitley becomes the more dominant of the aromas. Not much in the way of adjuncts or malt in the smell. Taste follows smell - huge belgian yeast flavors up front, cloves, very spicy, some saison yeast follows, lightly sweet malt finish. Some roasted barley and european hops, but they are overshadowed by the intense yeast flavors. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a heavy active carbonation that is somewhat distracting. Overall, not a bad American take on a belgian, but I would like to have tasted more of the spices that were added to this brew rather then the spicy yeast. Needs a bit more balance.

Extra from DavoleBomb, thanks!
A: Pours a pale amber with a huge, ridiculous fluffy white head. Fades at a medium pace, zero lacing.
S: Big bright and crisp aroma. Quite peppery. Some apple. Light toasty bread with some belgian yeast. Some grass in there too.
T: Up front it's grass with some lemons and orange. Yeasty bread in the middle with some wheat maybe? Turns earthy and spicy with some pepper towards the back end. Finishes grassy with apples and little bit of funk.
M: Medium bodied, crisp and refreshing.
O: Not a bad saison at all. Smooth and refreshing. Fairly simple and enjoyable. Great summer beer I would say.

Awesome extra from davolebomb
Pours a hazy deep orange with a huge slightly tan head...not really the most attractive looking beer.
Belgian yeast dominates the nose in a very good way with some banana in there
The taste is a little funky on the first sip but after a few it becomes a very nice mandarin orange like taste with some slight black pepper on the end
Mouthfeel is light and dry like a good saison should be carbonation is still pretty lively even after 2 years in a cellar
Overall for its age and what it is(troegs test batch) this beer is pretty dam good...it would be nice to see something like this go into seasonal production

Thanks to Davolebomb for hooking me up with this one.
Poured from a 12oz bottle into a tulip glass.
A: Pours a very lively, clear amber color. A big, two finger off white head lingers on top. Some spotted lacing is left behind.
S: Lots of spices up front. Big blast of black pepper and lots of belgian yeast aromas. There is a flowery and somewhat fruity aromatic quality as well.
T: Matches the aroma quite well. Lots of spices, belgian yeast, and a mild fruitiness all meld together. The spices are very prevalent though, a little too much for my liking.
M: The feel is pretty much what you want with a summertime saison. It is somewhat dry with a moderate amount of carbonation. There is a nice crisp and light bitter finish, perfect for a summer day.
O: There wasn't anything spectacular about this saison, a worthy example of the style nevertheless. The spices were a little on the intense side for my liking, but overall, not a bad offering.

Bottle poured into a tulip glass. Beer pours a hazy copper with two fingers of foamy head. Head dissipated quickly to a thin film, leaving no lacing. Plenty of tiny bubbles rising quickly from the bottom of the glass.
Nose if fruity esters, apple, bubble gum, biscuit malts. Yeast spice notes as the beer warms a bit.
Taste follows the nose, fruity esters and malt sweetness. A bit more caramel in the flavor than in the nose. Fairly dry finish with a lingering apple fruity ester flavor.
Medium body with plenty of fine carbonation, soft on the tongue but very carbonated.

Thanks to StormKing47 for sending me this bottle.
The beer pours a yellow-orange color with a large white head. The aroma is very fruity and very sweet. I get quite a bit of orange and Belgian yeast, along with some candy corn and circus peanut notes.
The flavor is better than the aroma. I get a lot of orange citrus notes, as well as some sugary sweetness and some Belgian yeast notes. The alcohol is well hidden.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Thanks to the Central PA group from the Gang Bang BIF for this bottle!
The Scratch Beer Dash continues. This leg pours a cloudy straw topped by a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises fake pine, caramel, and powdered sugar. The taste holds notes of caramel, (real) pine, balsa, and honey. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a kinda syrupy feel. Overall, a pretty decent saison, but one that suffers from a strangely off smell. I didn't get much of the spicing, either, making me think this one may be a casualty of age right now.

Pours a dark gold into the glass with a robust white pillow-like head. Great color, though definitely not as light as your typical saison. If I had to guess I would have said the abv was on the high side based on the color and texture (but would have been incorrect, of course).
Smell is very spicy, clove and a peppery smell, with sweet notes and slightly more clove as it warms. The spice is aggressive, but not to the beer's detriment.
Taste has the expected spiciness on the front end but I don't feel like it quite keeps it together. I'm going to chalk that up to the age of the brew, which hasn't done as much as you would think to damage the overall brew.
The middle palate on this beer has a pretty aggressive carbonation, but that eventually fades into a nice fleeting sweetness.

Thanks to ShadesOfGray for another scratch beer! Poured into stemless chardonnay glass...
A- It's alive! As the cap popped the foam crept up and almost overflowed. Pours hazy copper rust color with a very large fluffy head.
S- Awesome saison aroma. Very funky and citrusy. Malt and hops blend very well in this aroma. Superb and enticing to continue.
T/M- Funky, but subtle. Biscuit malt comes out. Is there wheat in this? Some floral notes and a touch of oranges if you search for it. There is a medicinal off flavor that lingers. Light and tingly on the tongue.
O- Started great with look and smell, but the taste is off. Not as crisp and delicate as I like my saisons. The off flavor and overpowering malt presence took this down a bit.

A- Hazy amber color with a huge head, pour it carefully. Even with a careful pour you will have to wait for the head to fall before you can get all of the bottle in your glass. Head falls slowly and leaves some nice lace on the glass.
S- Banana, clove, pepper, coriander, orange peel, and Belgian yeast notes dominate the nose.
T- Taste follows the nose with the finish being very dry and crisp with a slight bite of hop bitterness and sour funk.
M- Medium in body and high in carbonation . Clean and refreshing summer beer.
O- Nicely done beer, an easy drinker, and the 6% ABV isn't over the top. Too bad it was a one off, this would be a great seasonal offering.

It was the scratch beer festival night! i had spent a good deal of time collecting these and finally tracked down the last of what i needed and put them all down in a massive tasting. Split with my brother in law and his buddy on 5/6, these were all split into 6 ounce samplers.
Great pour here just cloudy as could be with a huge head of white that seriously looked like it could go on for ever. Settling down after a few moments it left quite an impression on the sides of the glass and really left some nice, intricate lacing all along. Aroma is light grassy notes, pears, apples, touches of a light peppery spice and lots of grain that seemingly brought it all together. As I take the first sip, a wave of light, well carbonated and crisp, clean flavor washes across the palate. Light grasses, heather, herbal flowers, touches of spiced apple and a light tartness that cleans the palate quite well. Very smooth as each sip is seamless and very easy to finish. Long, dry ending leaves you thirsty, yet satisfied and allows the subtle fruit notes to really pop.
Overall a very solid Saison

Many thanks to Thorpe429 for the extra! 12oz bottle into a Corsendonk tulip.
Saison De Mueze sports a radiant orange-creamsicle body permeated by a central stream of bubbles rising up from the laser etching to support a massive, fluffy cap of light custard head. Aroma is good, with lots of Belgian yeast esters combined with pale malts to add notes of coriander, tangerine flesh, clover honey, and spiced bread.
The flavor amps up the spice on the front of the palate, with a spritzy carbonation level that tears across the tongue, leaving leafy, vegetal hop notes, wheat, and bread crust in its wake. A light fruity/earthy funk is left in the aftertaste. Body feels light, but a bit harsh in its bubbliness whereas the Belgian counterparts make Saisons that are more gentle on the palate. The spice wears at the tastebuds after a while, but this is still a well-made American version of the style.

Pours a hazy amber with a nice, 2-finger white head that hangs on for a while bit leaves no lace.
The smell is fruity (lemon) along with some funk.
The taste is similar to the aroma with an increased level of funk along with orange. There is noticeable yeast and a spicy bit in the flavor as well.
Mouthfeel has active carbonation and medium body.
Overall: This is a very tasty Saison that is easy to drink. There'd be no problem having two or three of these even though I wouldn't mind just a bit less carbonation.

Very lively beer. Hazy bronze color with a massive head that held on for a long time. The head settles to a thick cap with a moderate amount of spotty lacing left on the glass.
Definate Belgian yeast aroma. Mild spice notes compliment the pale malt. Not as big as I was expecting but more traditional.
The flavor has fruit elements that were missing in the aroma. Yeast esters have hints of pears and apricots. There is a faint tartness before spice comes in the finish. Has some nice complexity.
The carbonation is not harsh despite being very lively. Has a nice texture and mouthfeel.
I was expecting a lot more spice from the brewing process but the result is a slightly tart, fruity saison.

Spirits are high as a group of high school juniors and seniors walks across campus to the Gallery, where they will hear filmmaker Ryan Darst speak on the importance of connections and social skills, which he said "makes you a fully rendered adult." |
Nearly every 11th- and 12th-grader in the county showed up in their business attire to meet and greet college and career reps at the fifth annual College, Career and Transfer Fair at Feather River College on Sept. 18.
Busloads of students from around the county as well as Westwood and Loyalton descended upon FRC's campus for an up-close and personal encounter with representatives from 29 different colleges and 67 career booths.
Students rotated through three activities: guest speaker independent filmmaker Ryan Darst spoke to students about the fair's theme, "Hack Your Life"; a networking session with postsecondary education and career reps; and an FRC alumni panel discussion.
The fair opened with a brief video created by Enactus president Chris DeHart, who depicted the Hack Your Life theme. The popular phrase refers to making plans and applying entrepreneurial skills to reach your goals and make your life what you want it to be.
Darst showed clips of his award-winning film "Dreamworld" (which played in its entirety Sept. 17 at the West End Theatre), and encouraged students to "load up your hard drive." Darst emphasized the importance of work and life experience and social and software skills.
Darst used his own experiences as a springboard from which to demonstrate the importance of having a job, any job at all, that would inevitably help a person achieve his or her ultimate career goal. He stressed that the connections made even at the lowliest job could be the "big break" needed to boost a worker's career.
Local FRC alumni panelists Amy Churchill, Tyler Pew and Seamas Gallagher answered questions related to choosing their career paths and finding their passion.
The three-hour event culminated in a relaxed lunch hour where students could further network with college and business reps, roam around campus or engage in conversation with guest speakers, organizers, teachers and students.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDDC 112258 AFDDDC AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 558 PM CDT Tue Mar 11 2014 ...Update to aviation for 00Z TAFs... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) ISSUED AT 316 PM CDT TUE MAR 11 2014 A strong upper level system will pass across western Kansas this evening. Just ahead of this feature, a mid level baroclinic zone will develop, and there will be just enough mid level moisture and lift to help generate some light precipitation, mainly along interstate 70. Rain can be expected at the onset as a nearly dry adiabatic layer will extend 2000 ft below the freezing level. However, continued cold advection and wet bulbing will cool the boundary layer enough for snow to reach the ground near or after 00z. Some accumulation of snow is possible, but due to the brevity of the event, amounts should remain less than an inch at Hays and Wakeeney. Due to the high winds, measuring this snow will be difficult at best. A high wind warning is still in effect for much of western Kansas, with a wind advisory further east. Temperatures will drop into the mid 20s to near 30 degrees by Wednesday morning. In the wake of the upper level system, Wednesday will still be breezy, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 50s. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) ISSUED AT 309 PM CDT TUE MAR 11 2014 A relatively active spring-like pattern is in store with frequent frontal passages through the extended (days 3-7) period, which will result in temperature fluctuations and chances for rain or snow by the weekend. Thursday will bring warm dry and breezy if not borderline windy conditions as mixing ensues by late morning and early afternoon. Warmer temperatures will be achieved largely to downslope winds with warmest temperatures approaching 70 degrees perhaps focused farther north across west central Kansas counties where the 850 mb thermal ridge will be. Temperatures elsewhere should be at least 65 degrees and up by the afternoon. Temperatures overnight Thursday and Friday morning will be influenced by a relatively warm boundary layer to begin with, clear skies and at least some mixing near the surface, which could result in mild lows barely falling into the upper 30s in the far west. Once the dry frontal passage occurs, temperatures will likely moderate slightly upward again on Saturday back into the 60s, with yet another surface frontal boundary affecting the area Saturday night or early Sunday. A shortwave digging into the southern High Plains is indicated will bring an upper deformation zone across the area with potential for a weakly organized band of rain and rain or snow depending on the thermal profiles realized. The remainder of the period heading into Monday appears continued slightly normal or near normal conditions with highs the 60s and lows in the 30s. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening) ISSUED AT 600 PM CDT TUE MAR 11 2014 Two concerns for the TAFs... 1) winds and 2) MVFR cigs. First, winds will be northerly 30-35 kt with gusts to 50 kt early and then decrease 10-18 kt overnight. An increase of NW 15-20 kt is expected tomorrow by late morning. MVFR cigs will be possible tonight with VFR conditions expected after 04Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Focus Key Fob - Talk To Me
Posted 11 February 2013 - 03:22 PM
Had a very curious issue on saturday with my 05 Focus Titanium 2.0TDCI (115k on the clock). Havent noticed anything odd with the car for a while..no juddering, no funny noises, no flashing lights...nothing. Its been perfect. Anyway..got in the car saturday morning turned the key and the car wouldnt start...it would crank but not actually fire up. Obviously this made me look at the dash to see if any warning lights had flashed up and on the digital display it said 'Engine System Fault'. I tried starting it 3 more times and pressed the accelerator a little but it didnt work.
So after looking online for solutions and after doing the dashboard trick (which showed no error codes apart from D900, but its always said D900) i called the AA out. AA man showed up got me to try and start it...nothing happened. He suggested i try starting it with the second set of keys....I didnt get a 2nd set when bought the car a couple of years ago (private sale). So he then opened the bonnet up and took the engine cover off and suggested i try again. Bingo...it started with no problems and after leaving it running for 10mins the 'engine system fault' warning went away too. He said that he thought it was a 'immobilizer synchronisation issue'. I dont know if it was just a coincidence that it worked after taking the engine cover off?
Used the car today and everything seems fine. Im reluctant to get a second key cut and programmed as ive heard it can be as much as £180. Also i presume the key fob has a battery in?? I dont think this has ever been changed so was gona try and change it...is this a simple task? will it have to be re-programmed if i remove the battery? And also does anyone know where the receiver is in the car that talks to/recognises the fob? The key fob does seem to work fine and can unlock the car from a good 20ft away....but surely the battery will need changing soon as the car is 8yrs old. what do you guys think?

I got a spare key cut and coded for mine, £140 all in! its a local south east company (I can dig out the details if you want?)
With regards changing the battery its easy, stick a flat blade screwdriver in the little slot under the ford logo space on the rear of the key and push the screwdriver body down with it locked into the upper body of the fob, this separates the lower half and the upper half of the key - pull off the key bit and then open the dob, replace battery and realign the two parts.
quick google search will show you how to do it

get it cut at timpsons around £10-20 than get a mobile locksmith to programme it or buy the fob and call a local auto locksmith to come out cut and code either way if its a sync issue it means the original key is worn so another will be needed

AS for the key, watch out, some local locksmiths will come out, cut the key, or try to program it, and if they cant, they claim its a faulty key with no warranty, and you lose all your money and still buy a new key... I went with the £140 as it was the cheapest I could find for a cut, coded, and warrantied key, whilst at the same time, they came out, and connected to IDS (I suspec) and removed all the other keys.. Not bad for an hours work, labour was only £60

When you turn ign on, the ecu looks at the imformation on the chip. If it likes what it see's, the engine should turn over and start. If it dosnt like what it see's, the engine will not turn over.

In VAG keys, there were problem whit the RFID chip coming loose inside the key, witch made it to bee too far from the receiver around the ignition. So it would be good place to start hunting by checking that the chip is solidly inside they keyfob

Natural range of Quercus lobata |
Quercus lobata, commonly called the Valley oak, grows into the largest of North American oaks. It is endemic to California, growing in the hot interior valleys and foothills. Mature specimens may attain an age of up to 600 years. This deciduous oak requires year-round access to groundwater.
Its thick, ridged bark is characteristic and evokes alligator hide. The Valley oak's deeply lobed leaves assist in identification.
Description and ecology[edit]
The sturdy trunk of the Valley oak may exceed two to three meters in diameter and its stature may surpass 30 meters in height. The "Henley Oak", in Covelo, California, is the tallest known North American hardwood, at 151 feet (46 m).[1]
The branches have an irregular, spreading and arching appearance that produce a profound leafless silhouette in the clear winter sky. During Autumn leaves turn a yellow to light orange color but become brown during mid to late fall. In advancing age the branches assume a drooping characteristic. Its pewter-colored rippled bark adds to the attractive aesthetic of this species.
Typically, leaves are five to ten centimeters in length and are roundly and deeply lobed. The leaf width is approximately one half its length. Each leaf is matte green with an underneath pale green appearance; moreover, the leaf is covered with abundant soft fuzz, yielding an almost velvety feeling. When a fresh leaf is rubbed or broken, an aromatic scent is exuded, evoking a forest odor. The wood is a dull brown approaching yellow, and it has not been used extensively for milling.
Over most of the range, acorns fall in October. A variety of mammals and birds eat them, including the Acorn Woodpecker, Western Scrub Jay, Yellow-billed Magpie, and California ground squirrel.[2] The acorns are also attacked by bruchid beetles, but can survive moderate levels of infestation.[3] Surviving acorns all germinate in their first winter, and none remain by mid-winter. The acorns are medium to dark brown and range from two to three centimeters in length. The caps have deep stippling and are found most often as singlets, but occasionally as doublets. The Concow tribe call the acorns lō-ē' (Konkow language).[4]
Globular galls up to several cm. in diameter are frequently attached to twigs of mature specimens of Valley Oak. These house the larval stage of small indigenous wasps Andricus quercuscalifornicus. A related wasp species, A. kingi, produces small galls shaped like Hershey's kisses on leaf surfaces. The valley oak is the only known food plant of Chionodes petalumensis caterpillars.
Like many oaks, Valley Oaks can tolerate wild fires. Although smaller individuals may be top-killed, most resprout from the root crown[5]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Valley oak tolerates cool wet winters and hot dry summers, but requires abundant water. It is most abundant in rich deep soils of valley floors below 600 meters in elevation. Valley oak is found in dense riparian forests, open foothill woodlands and valley savannas. Commonly associated trees are Coast live oak, Interior live oak, Blue oak, Black walnut, California Sycamore and Digger pine.
The Valley oak is widely distributed in: the California Central Valley; many smaller valleys such as the San Fernando Valley (original Spanish place-name from oak savannah), Conejo Valley, and Santa Ynez Valley; the Inner Coast Ranges south of the Eel River; and the Transverse Ranges from the Tehachapi Mountains to the Simi Hills, Santa Susana Mountains. It is also present on Santa Cruz Island and Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the most picturesque stands are found in Sonoma Valley, Round Valley in Mendocino County and the southern Salinas Valley near the up-river reaches of the Salinas River.
Valley oak is of the White oak evolutionary lineage, which is officially known as the subgenus Lepidobalanus. This subgenus comprises numerous oaks from California and elsewhere, which species share similar leaves, acorns, bark and wood pulp. Early settlers used a variety of common names for the Valley oak including: White oak, bottom oak, swamp oak, water oak and mush oak. The Spaniards, because the tree looked like the white oaks in Europe, called the tree "roble".
Historical accounts[edit]
(This needs references; in fact the entire article is largely devoid of references)
In 1792, the English explorer George Vancouver noted on his expedition through the Santa Clara Valley, after seeing an expanse of Valley oaks: "For about twenty miles it could only be compared to a park which had originally been closely planted with the true old English oak; the underwood, that had probably attended its early growth, had the appearance of having been cleared away and left the stately lords of the forest in complete possession of the soil which was covered with luxuriant foliage."
In the year 1861, William Henry Brewer, the chief botanist for the first California Geological Survey wrote of the Valley oaks that he saw in Monterey County: "First I passed through a wild canyon, then over hills covered with oats, with here and there trees--oaks and pines. Some of these oaks were noble ones indeed. How I wish one stood in our yard at home....I measured one [Valley Oak] with wide spreading and cragged branches, that was 26.5 feet in circumference. Another had a diameter of over six feet, and the branches spread over 75 feet each way. I lay beneath its shade a little while before going on."
The Hooker Oak of Chico, California, was once the largest known Valley Oak. When it fell on May 1, 1977, it was nearly a hundred feet tall (30 m) and 29 feet (8.8 m) in circumference eight feet (2.4 m) from the ground.
The Tragedy Oak in Hanford, California, was at the same place where the historic Mussel Slough Tragedy gun fight happened in 1880. Six victims of the shooting were carried to the porch of the Brewer house, which was shaded by a tall oak tree. The tree became famously known as the Tragedy Oak. Sadly the tree fell down in a storm in 1995. A part of its trunk was donated by the Warmerdam family, that then owned the land that it grew on, to a nearby school called Pioneer Elementary School.

MELBOURNE has added to its import army by signing delisted Geelong defender Tom Gillies.
Gillies, 22, was signed to a one-year deal as a delisted free agent before today's 2pm deadline.
All players cut from club lists automatically became delisted free agents and could be recruited by other teams.
The 192cm defender has been training with the Demons.
"As a big bodied, tall defender, Tom fills a need within our playing group," Melbourne list manager Tim Harrington told the club's website.
"Having been part of the AFL system for four years and entering his fifth, we believe Tom has a lot to offer the Melbourne Football Club."
Gillies played 13 games for the Cats but couldn't crack a regular senior berth and his prospects dived when Geelong snapped up Jared Rivers from Melbourne to cover for retired full-back Matthew Scarlett.
The two clubs have swapped several players this post-season, with former Cat Shannon Byrnes now a Demon.
Melbourne dumped a host of underperforming youngsters and has brought in experienced players from other clubs including Chris Dawes, David Rodan and Cam Pederson.

Miss Elaine will be given more air time this season (season two) of the Real Housewives of Miami…
Elaine Lancaster (James Davis)
On the very day fashion icon Gianni Versace was murdered in front of his Ocean Drive mansion—July 15, 1997—James Davis awoke to his first morning on South Beach after relocating here from Dallas. There was a cruel irony in their shared twists of fate, because Davis—much better known today as drag diva Elaine Lancaster—had moved to South Beach because of Versace. "I had been a fashion model in Milan for a while and I got to know the whole Versace family," says the six-foot, two-inch, blond-haired, blue-eyed Davis. "So, I moved to Miami to be close to the Versaces and all of that energy." His dream ended in gunfire before it had begun. Now, three years later, it is James Davis-as-Elaine Lancaster that conjures the same scene-transforming creative magic that Gianni Versace left as his legacy for South Beach. Moreover, it is a testament to Davis's extraordinary will and determination that he did not flee from his newly adopted home when his idol was brutally murdered on the steps of his palazzo.
Instead, Davis channeled his energy into perfecting a character he had begun creating in Dallas—a "10-foot tall blonde with over-the-top glamour." On his first night in South Beach, he went to the now defunct gay club Warsaw. "I started working the next week, hosting the Wednesday night amateur strip contest, and I've been working ever since," he says. His second job was the legendary Fat Black Pussycat at Liquid. After that, stardom quickly ensued. |
Although he has known haute couture designer and nightlife impresario Gerry Kelly since he arrived here, Davis began collaborating with Kelly only last year at Bar Room. "That's where Elaine blossomed," says Davis, who earned a degree in American history from the University of Kansas and owned a high-end home furnishings and gift store in Highland Park, Texas before pursuing his dreams in South Beach. When Kelly became the marketing partner in Level nightclub last November, he brought Elaine Lancaster in as resident house diva. Very quickly, the blonde goddess with "big hair and little dresses," as Davis says, became a local legend. Today, Davis has an exclusivity agreement with Levelamong major South Beach clubs. He works there every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and often works a fourth night. In addition, he performs at special events—locally, nationally and internationally.With focus and determination, Davis has forged a unique, powerful celebrity for himself and a six-figure income that comes from being a star on South Beach and traveling the world with celebrities such as Dennis Rodman and Elton John. He has appeared on the TV sitcom "Wings" and was featured in an HBO special called "Drag Time." He had a role in the Versace murder movie, and later this year will appear with Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds in a new film entitled "The Crew."
And, he says repeatedly, like his superstar friends, he is merely an entertainer; Elaine Lancaster is a character he creates, not some kind of real-life sexual freak or alter ego. "I'm not Elaine," says the soft-spoken Davis, who has never shed his melodic Texas drawl. "Elaine is a character I create." He tries to explain her nature. "Elaine Lancaster is the illegitimate daughter of Burt Lancaster and Lana Turner." What does that mean? "The strength and social awareness of Burt Lancaster and the social graces, elegance and beauty of Lana Turner." But, he adds, there is more to the enigma of Elaine than such a whimsical character analysis. "Elaine is a very elegant, very beautiful, very witty woman," says Davis. "But at the same time, she can swig back beers with the best of them and get down on any level." Most surprising, perhaps, is the fact that, for James Davis, dressing as a woman isn't a sexual experience. In fact, Davis sees no real connection between his gay sexual orientation and his chosen career as a female impersonator. "I'm an entertainer," he says proudly. "I've always known my whole life that I was going to be an entertainer, but I didn't know the vehicle was going to be drag."
Davis is quick to point out precisely what drag is about and to distinguish it clearly from other lifestyles that involve some sort of gender bending. "Drag goes back to the beginning of time," says Davis. "You can see it from the Asian Kabuki theatre days. The term 'drag' comes from Elizabethan times, when drag stood for dressed as girl. Opera had its diva and the theatre had its drag queen." Davis says he views what he does as a sincere tribute to women, not making fun of them. "It's sort of taken from where women leave off today," he says, "because they really don't dress up that much. They don't wear hardly any make-up. So, I just sort of personify my interpretation of what the strong women in my past have been and always will be." He hastens to point out that drag is different from other activities usually associated with sexual orientation. "People who dress in women's clothing for sexual gratification are cross-dressers," Davis explains. "Then there are pre-op transsexuals who walk around with implants and live their daily lives as women. Those I don't consider to be drag queens. That's not an illusion. That's reality. And then there are actors, or drag queens, and that's what I am."
On South Beach, where the drag queen has been a sort of cultural icon ever since the destination began its renaissance in the late 1980′s, Elaine Lancaster has become the queen-bitch diva without peer. Without proper context, such comments might sound brash or egotistical. But Davis provides the context that helps explain his quest to be the Michael Jordan of female impersonators. Such roadblocks can sometimes take the form of outright physical aggression. "About a month ago," Davis says, "I was standing at the bar with some friends when out of the blue this guy, a friend of another drag queen, walked up and hit me in the face with a closed fist." Fortunately, Davis remembered the lessons he had learned growing up with two older brothers who would become professional football players. "I hit the guy on the head with my cocktail glass." On another occasion, Davis, dressed as Elaine, actually punched out an overly aggressive, drunken would-be challenger. "It's not something I'm proud of," Davis says. "But if you allow somebody to challenge you one time, the word gets out 'she's an easy target, fuck with her.' Now, I think people know I'm not to be fucked with. I'm six-foot, two-inches tall. I'm a big man and I know how to fight." In Elaine's world, it all comes with the turf. "A friend of mine once said 'don't put on the wig unless you can fight in it,'" Davis says with a laugh.
But, he says, he is more interested in liberating others from stereotypes than fighting it out in a bar. "When people from Omaha or somewhere like that see me, I hope they go away with a sense of freedom, experiencing a form of self-expression that's unconventional and saying that's okay, " Davis says. "I think what I do frees people up to be more who they are." As an example, he cites the CEO of a major U.S. company he was introduced to at a special corporate event he was hosting at Level. When Elaine first greeted the CEO, the gentleman leaned forward and whispered: "I'm wearing panty hose under this suit." Now that Davis has established himself as both South Beach's premier drag queen and someone not to be trifled with, he says he has even loftier ambitions. "I'd like to write a book," he says. "I've had a very, very interesting life, both as a man and as a character I created." Davis will also mount a one-woman show as Elaine later this fall at a venue to be announced. This year, Elaine Lancaster is serving as national spokesperson for Stolichnaya vodka for alternative markets. In the long run, however, Davis sees himself out of women's clothing and off South Beach. He says he wants to live on a ranch in Montana or Colorado and build an entertainment career that reaches beyond the world of drag. "This is just a stepping stone for me," he says. Superstardom appears to be just around the corner for Elaine Lancaster. Says friend Dennis Rodman, "She will get everything she wants and a hell-of-a-lot more…trust me on that." But Elaine's ever-increasing fame does present James Davis with a problem. He has seen how fame has affected the lives of friends such as Rodman and Madonna. "They can't get through a bite of food in a restaurant without someone coming up and asking for their autograph. I wouldn't want to live like that." Davis adds, "I don't want to have people bother me when I'm not in drag though?I tell them I'm on vacation." Consequently, Davis guards his privacy in public and prefers to not be recognized as the man who creates the fabulous Elaine Lancaster. Says James Davis with a smile, "I hope people don't know I'm that person when they see me on the street or else my drag wouldn't be very good, would it?" |
ADDITIONAL BIO INFORMATION: As if she stepped right out of the pages of a Jackie Collins novel, Elaine Lancaster is as glamorous and beautiful as any of the characters from Collins' "Hollywood Wives". In fact, Elaine took her name from Elaine Conti and Karen Lancaster, two fictional divas in that very book. As befitting a Collins' novel, Elaine's life has been filled with glamour, travel, celebrities, and a few twisted scenarios. One being the fact that the gorgeous Elaine Lancaster is a man when not performing.
The actor (James Davis) behind Elaine was born in Alabama and raised in Georgia, while Elaine was born in the lap of luxury, pampered by all, and spoiled rotten. Like the true diva she became, she managed to spend every dime thrown her way and yet she still yearns for more. Not just more jewels and designer fashions, but more of everything the world has to offer. Driven by the need to be in the spotlight, fame had to be hers, and the world became her stage.
The most sought after hostess, Elaine has worked all over the world in clubs, for charities, for special events (including the Dennis Rodman Starck Club opening [Oct. '96] with Rupaul, Gay Pride at the Roxy with Kevin Aviance, The Elton John Dance for life ballet in Aspen, Co., Code Blue's New Year's Eve Party in Atlanta, 'An Evening with the Stars' Auction and Show in Dallas [which she founded], Hostess for The Aspen Gay & Lesbian Ski Week [the largest gay & lesbian winter event in the world], and Hostess for White Party Week both in South Beach and Palm Springs. Constantly in demand at clubs like Limelight, Bar Room, Liquid, Shadow Lounge, Warsaw Ballroom, Life, Level, Space, Red Square, and Roxy, Elaine travels from city to city working with the likes of Rupaul, Kevin Aviance, Lady Bunny (who has been a dear friend since childhood), disco legend Thelma Houston, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Martha Wash, Lolita Holloway,and Dennis Rodman (also a very good friend. Despite what the tabloids say, just good friends).
The camera loves Elaine, and the Diva Lancaster loves the camera. Her television credits include Entertainment Tonight (4times), Deco Drive, the NBC sitcom Wings, A Current Affair, Inside Edition, Ocean Drive Television, and Hard Copy. Elaine is also hostess for Wild on South Beach, a one hour E-TV entertainment show. Many remember her dynamic appearance in the HBO documentary "Drag Time" which aired in January '98. Recently she made her feature film debut in "The Versace Murder" which was released as a television movie in the United States after a Cannes debut and a theatrical run in Europe '98. Soon to be added to Ms. Lancaster's resume will be appearances in the movies "The Crew", "Fabulous", and a BBC documentary"Miami Undercover". Diva Lancaster has also been fingered by Warner Bros. who, as of this writing, are developing a role in a film they are currently producing, designed especially for Elaine.
Of course the glamorous and beautiful Elaine has to be all looks and no brains, right? WRONG!! Writer Elaine pens a column called go diva for Miami's hottest publication, miamigo. After she takes off her lashes and removes her make-up, she works on "Home Cooking with Elaine". This project is a television show that she is developing for herself, naturally! The cooking that Elaine plans to feature on her show has absolutely nothing to do with food!
Elaine Lancaster landed in South Beach just two and a half years ago and quickly became a local celebrity. Vanity Fair's writer George Wayne even named Elaine the Best Local Celebrity. Both Channel Magazine and New Times selected Elaine as the Best Drag Queen for 1999-2000. Rarely does a publication appear without at least one photo of the tantalizing diva known simply (okay, nothing about Elaine is simple) as Elaine Lancaster. Ocean Drive Magazine profiled Elaine just a few months before adding her friend Dennis Rodman to their pages. Elaine continues to spread glamour, beauty, and share the goodness of her heart with the men of the world while entertaining everyone else. Elaine's world renowned illusion of Cher has been lauded even by Cher herself. Jackie Collins would be proud to have created Elaine Lancaster.

London's Dickens Museum reopens after makeover
LONDON (AP) — Charles Dickens' London home has gone from "Bleak House" to "Great Expectations."
For years, the four-story brick row house where the author lived with his young family was a dusty and slightly neglected museum, a mecca for Dickens scholars but overlooked by most visitors to London.
Now, after a 3 million pound ($4.8 million) makeover, it has been restored to bring the writer's world to life. The house reopened this month, and its director says it aims to look "as if Dickens had just stepped out."
"The Dickens Museum felt for many years a bit like Miss Havisham, covered in dust," said museum director Florian Schweizer, who slips references to Dickens' work seamlessly into his speech. Miss Havisham is the reclusive character central to the plot of "Great Expectations."
Now, after a revamp code-named — inevitably — "Great Expectations," the house is transformed.
Or, Schweizer said recently, quoting that novel: "I have been bent and broken, but — I hope — into a better shape."
Few authors remain as widely quoted, read and adapted as Dickens is 200 years after his birth. Characters such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim, Pip and Miss Havisham, Fagin and Oliver Twist, are known to millions around the world.
And no writer is more closely associated with London than Dickens, whose accounts of Victorian workhouses, debtors' prisons and the urban poor embarrassed the establishment into acting to alleviate poverty.
He lived all over the city in his impoverished youth and increasingly affluent adulthood, but the house at 48 Doughty Street in the Bloomsbury area of London is his only home in the city to survive.
Dickens lived in the house between 1837 and 1839, a short but fruitful period that saw the birth of his first two children. It's the site where he wrote "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Oliver Twist," going in the process from jobbing journalist to rising author whose serialized stories were gobbled up by a growing fan base.
