Buy Cialis 20mg Online – Best Drug for Erectile Dysfunction
Cialis is a drug containing the main ingredient known as tadalafil. It can be said to be the successor of the drug Viagra after the latter was known to be effective in male sexual disorder called erectile dysfunction. It was invented by a company in biotechnology research work- ICOS and later it was marketed by the joint venture between the Eli Lilly and ICOS or ICOS Lilly. You can get pill in four different potencies in the market- 5mg, 10 mg, 15 mg and 20 mg.
These are almond shaped, slightly oval and yellow colored pills. It is also used for the treatment for the pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) which is a rare disorder under name of Adcirca with same chemical ingredient. Cialis 20mg without prescription is also sold online as generic for quite reasonable prices. It is a FDA approved drug and more effective than Viagra or any other drug for the cure of erectile dysfunction and can be easily used with lesser restrictions. The extended description of the drug is as follows:
Why one must use cialis for ED?
Male impotence or erectile dysfunction – in any case when male person can't produce sufficient erections to perform sexual act.In case of diabetes mellitus where nerves are easily involved and blood circulation is even affected.In bad cholesterol problems, where blood supply is hindered due to formation of the plaque in the arteries.Male impotence arising from stress, everyday tensions and worries, psychological diseases and nervous breakdowns causing improper sexual functioning. Cialis can act best to treat this temporary condition and drug can be stopped when stress subsides and sexual functioning is restored.
Erectile dysfunction caused by hypotension and other circulatory disorders.Better results than Viagra
Approved by FDA and been through extensive trials and clinical studies Lesser side effects longer duration of action up to 36 hours, hence known as the "36 hour pill" Available as cheap cialis 20 mg.
Mechanism – how it works?
Cialis is PDE 5 inhibitor and it belongs to PDE5 inhibitor class of drugs. It works in the similar way as the Viagra and levitra. The cGMP is formed in the smooth muscles of the arterial blood vessels of the penile tissue on sexual excitation. The penis is inflated like a balloon with excess of blood flowing into widened arteries due to this chemical messenger. The enzyme called PDE5 is responsible for the getting the penis back to the flaccid state which done by removing the cGMP from the smooth muscles of the arterial walls.
This enzyme is stopped to act by the drug with its main ingredient tadalafil. As a result, the penile tissue can stay erect for loner time and this ingredient can stay in action for as long as 36 hours but this doesn't mean that the penis will remain erect for 36 hours. One gets erection only after sexual excitation as it happens normally. If there will be no cGMP there will be no PDE5 and in turn there will be no erection! Hence, sexual excitation remains to be the factor for causing an erection and cialis works by helping the individual to get fuller erection.
It has nothing to do with the time of erection and ejaculation. In some studies it's known to improve the libido and increase the time of sexual act but there's no direct mechanism proving its action on sexual drive and time of ejaculation.
Thus, it's not a medicine for premature ejaculation, lesser or higher sexual drive but it's used for the treatment of inability to get fuller erections in case there are no or partial erections. In a study it was proved the women are more satisfied with harder penis and feel better orgasms, thus, erections play a key role in satisfying your spouse or your partner. Cialis is a boon for men with ED and it's the best cure that works for 36 hours at stretch so that you never need to repeat a pill like Viagra.
How to use cialis?
For best results and cheaper price use generic cialis 20 mg from internet, reputed drug store like ours. Take 5 mg to 20 mg dose in 24 hours and don't repeat the drug unless your doctor prescribes so. You can repeat a 5 mg or 10 mg pill in 24 hours but no need to repeat the 20 mg pill in 36 hours. It will work for such a long duration, thus, it's quite handy to take it once a 36 hours. Take the drug with plain water and avoid any fruit juices just before or after taking the drug. It must not be taken along with special class of drugs called nitrates. You may take the drug along with meals unlike Viagra that needs to be consumed empty stomach.
Take cialis tablets 20mg just thirty minutes before sexual activity and it will do wonders to your life in the bedroom. Believe us, its far way better than Viagra, well researched and best equipment in the market to satisfy your woman with least side effects like heaviness of the head, slight nausea, blurred vision, and dizziness in first few days of usage.

Members of the SC National Guard's 133rd Military Police Company — which lost three members killed and five others wounded in a suicide blast in June — will return Sunday to South Carolina from Afghanistan.
Officials plan a 10:30 a.m. homecoming ceremony for the 150-member company at Florence's Veterans Park.
"We're planning a very short welcome home ceremony and we would like to have as many people as we can attend to give (the unit) the warm, heartfelt welcome they deserve," said Capt. Darian Fennell, of the Timmonsville-based 51st Military Police Battalion.
The company has been deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom for about nine months.
Three soldiers — 1st Lt. Ryan Davis Rawl, 30, and Sgt. J.D. Meador, 36, both of Lexington, and Sgt.1st Class Matthew Bradford Thomas, 30, of Easley — were killed when a suicide bomber wearing an explosives-filled vest attacked a checkpoint in a crowded market in Khost Province. In addition, two Afghan police officers and at least 14 civilians were killed.
The unit, nicknamed the Palmetto Regulators, was training Afghan police security forces.
Rawl was a Richland County sheriff's deputy when not deployed. Meador was a former correctional officer at the Lexington County Detention Center. The two, as well as Thomas, were married, and all had children.
Five other SC Guardsmen were wounded in the attack, though their names have not been released. But a spokesman issued a statement that the injuries included "broken bones, shrapnel wounds and amputations."
It was the bloodiest day of the Afghan war for the SC National Guard, which has deployed more than 12,000 troops there since the war began in 2001.
"We're not going to concentrate on that," Fennell said. "This isn't a memorial. We've had our memorials. This is just about getting them on to their families."

How can I watch while they strip us of our humanity and not rebel?
Open letter to the people
Editor's note: An abbreviated version of this open letter was published in the March print edition of the Bay View. This is the full text. Prison authorities would not allow Marritte to mail this letter directly to the Bay View, so it had to be relayed by another activist.
by Marritte Funches
But again the beautiful people at the Bay View newspaper have renewed my strength to carry on without resorting to barbarism. They have encouraged me to remain an example of intellectual strength for my young comrades, to help them know that we can win, without resorting to gangsterism and blood letting, but instead by placing our faith in the people, and out-thinking our enemies. Since there is not a single (honest) attorney in Amerika willing to help me engage the courts, I have been developing a process to put aside the pain, so that I can focus on learning civil law and file a lawsuit to expose those pigs myself, by myself.
There is more corruption going on here than people might believe. For example, locked in these cells, inmates must rely on the pigs for everything: to bring the phone for legal calls, to bring grievance forms, cleaning supplies, mail … everything. Most important, we have to rely on them to be alert in emergencies. Those with diabetes, heart problems and seizures must rely on the pigs to answer their call button in a timely manner. But often we go for days waiting for such basic necessities as toilet paper and soap because the pigs are too busy playing computer games, watching movies, or surfing the net … No shit. They put computers with these capabilities in every unit here at Ely State Prison – of course outside the reach of inmates! Your tax dollars hard at work.
On Jan. 6, after 27 days of fasting and an incredible effort on the part of the pigs to interfere and frustrate my fast in protest of what has been happening to me, Rickey Egberto and numerous other men being denied medical care, I was all but forced to end it. But I learned a great deal and reaffirmed much that I already knew – such as there is no greater cruelty than that orchestrated by man.
On Dec. 29, 2008, after a sleepless night due to severe kidney pain, I had just dozed off, when no less than 20 pigs in full riot gear, and brandishing taser guns and cans of chemical agent, woke me up saying that Warden Bill Donat (of Nevada State Prison) made a special order to have me transferred back to High Desert State Prison. No protocol was followed. I was not allowed to pack. In fact, my property was not even coming with me.
By this time I had lost over 21 pounds and I was very sick. I was in no shape to travel a long distance. The pigs ordered me to "strip out now! Or we're coming in and we will hurt you!" Now at my best, or rather my worst, I actually could have put up a fight. I've faced such odds before, even won some, at least by convict standards.
But the truth is that a child could have whooped me at that point. The pigs knew this. So I am not sure what the psychology behind this show of force was, other than they knew they were in violation. It was easy to see how sick I was – my medical situation had not even been diagnosed, let alone treated – or maybe they just took the opportunity to impress themselves.
So I was forced to strip naked. "Open your mouth, show me your tongue, between your lips and gums. Do you have any plates or partials? OK, bend forward and run your fingers through your hair; show me your ears! Step back (he pulls out a flash light); lift your penis, now your sack. Show me your hands, turn around and lift your arms. OK, now your left foot and wiggle your toes, now your right foot. OK, bend over, spread your cheeks and give me three good coughs …"
This is what it means to "strip out." And here at Ely prison, if I want to go outside to the little concrete enclosure for an hour, I have to strip out three times. Take a shower; strip out twice. On top of that, they make us get on our knees for everything. Anytime the pigs put the shackles on us or take them off, we have to get on our fuckin' knees. In the shower, after a pool of filth has built up from however many men showered before you, these pigs want us to kneel in that too.
Suffice it to say I don't leave my cell much. My sink is my shower. This little box is my yard. It kills me to see the look on these pigs' faces when they tell these men to get on their knees. Some have been getting on their knees for so long they don't even have to be told anymore. Years ago someone said to me, "Why are you so rebellious all the time? You're only causing more problems for yourself." And my response was: How can a person know what it is to be a human being and watch that being stripped away and not rebel?
I apologize for getting off topic there for a minute. This shit is just crazy. If you will, please bear with my pain.
Okay, so this mob of pigs walks me out of the building under gunpoint. There are several more pigs on a catwalk above my head with their guns trained on me. They have driven the transport bus up the hill and through the yard in front of the unit, something they've never done before. I have lost so much weight that, if not for the chains criss-crossing my body, my hands, my feet, my waist, my clothes would have fallen off. It was a beautiful sunny day, but very cold.
I got on the bus, which is a converted Greyhound with no windows, just little portholes that you would have to be over 6 feet tall to see out of. So the bus itself is a big cage. That's where they put me. There were other inmates on the bus, most of them fish.
After maybe two and a half to three hours on the road I had developed what felt like a migraine headache, with shooting pains through my skull, like lightning flashes. I became nauseous and weak. After a while I noticed my nose was bleeding, but I could not even wipe it with my sleeve, because my hands were chained to my waist.
I stood up to get the pigs' attention, but before I could, I just blacked out. There was hardly any room to fall, so when I fell, my body ended up in such a contorted position that my neck and back are still fucked up. The inmates called "Man down!" I was out for five to ten minutes.
When I came to, I could hear the pigs talking about stopping and calling an ambulance. It took all my strength, but somehow I was able to get back into the tiny seat. I was awake, but really out of it. My head was exploding. My body wanted to vomit, but there was nothing in my stomach, luckily.
The pig in charge had called Warden Donat and, rather than getting an ambulance, Donat ordered them to drive the two and a half to three hours back to Nevada State Prison. Once there, I was taken to the prison medical facility at NNCC (Northern Nevada Correctional Center), next door to NSP (Nevada State Prison). But I did not get any medical treatment – not an aspirin, not even a cup of water.
Then, somehow, the nurses found out I had been fasting, and one of them said, "Well, that's what happens when you don't eat, fuckin' asshole." The other nurse said, "Fasting – oh, I've heard about that. He must be one of those Muslim people." I thought about pointing out that Christians, Jews, Buddhists and most other existing religions practice fasting, but I did not have the energy.
I was then taken to an isolation cell, away from any other prisoners, stripped naked, and left there with nothing but an orange jumpsuit and a blanket. I remained there for five days, continuing my fast. The pigs loved it. They ate my trays each time I refused one, especially the special New Year's meal.
On the 2nd of January 2009 another mob of 15 to 20 pigs in riot gear, carrying tasers and chemical agents, stripped me out, chained me up and put me in a van headed to where I am now (Ely State Prison), under the cover of predawn darkness. We did stop once along the way for a bathroom break. I got to smell the fresh morning mountain air.
Once here, the Ely pigs made it very clear they believed I'd been checkmated. The head caseworker told me, "When you're done with your, fast, let us know." He walked off with a smirk on his face. Behind him was the property Sgt. P. Hunt who told me the paperwork on my property had been "lost." So I was sent to another cell with nothing but a jumpsuit and a worn out blanket.
A snowstorm hit that night. I got a sense of what it must be like in the Arctic – the walls radiating cold like slabs of ice. The pigs kept me that way until just a couple of days ago, when they were sure I was not fasting any more. They took everything from me that they could think up a reason to take: my books and other literature from DePaul University, religious items, personal writings, as well as the affidavits I had from the men in the unit with me at NSP who witnessed all the bullshit that was taking place. I had managed to send out the most important documents for safekeeping.
Nothing has changed in regards to my medical situation. I still do not know what exactly is causing my symptoms, only that these pigs can no longer deny that something is wrong. That I am back here at Ely State Prison, though, means they intend to let me suffer.
After speaking with an attorney in Reno who had expressed interest in taking my case, it turned out that he was just another snake trying to take advantage of a desperate situation to get money. But I am not discouraged. I will continue to stand up and speak out. And with your help, I will expose the corruption going on: the misappropriation of your tax dollars, the murder of mentally ill inmates, the wanton and unabated violation of people's civil rights and humanity, the medical neglect and more.
We need your help
But I need your help. I'd like to set up a website where we can post the actual documents and stories of men who are suffering. I'd like to find someone skilled at Internet research, so we can use the Freedom of Information Act and other investigative techniques to uncover and expose these crooks hiding their crimes under the cloak of "protecting the public." We have made dozens of calls, sent even more emails and letters. They've called our bluff. And if all you were willing to do was send some emails, then we were definitely bluffing.
But this is no card game. I am fighting for my life! And so are Rickey Egberto, Kevin Lisle, Terrence Brothers, Charles Randolph and a lot of other men. This is not necessarily about whether or not men and women in prison deserve basic health care. This is about what type of society we want to live in.
Let's face it. What is happening in these prisons is torture, and the bigger ideological question is this: What purpose does incarceration actually serve if there is no real opportunity for redemption or rehabilitation? What is the point if all they are going to do is lock people up who are already undereducated, many with emotional or psychological issues, coming from broken homes and communities that are more like war zones than nurturing neighborhoods, treat them like animals, dehumanize and humiliate them?
Then what real expectation is there that these men and women, a lot of them still children, can ever actually make it out of prison with the necessary social skills to lead productive lives? And my position is if there is any sincere sentiment at all in these people claiming authority over us, and they are unwilling or unable to create job training and other relevant programs, then do not criminalize and penalize us for creating our own. Stop subjecting individuals like myself to these conditions amounting to torture, simply because you disagree with our views or because we hold you to the standard your position carries.
Whoever out there may be reading this, I am interested in seeing from you, your thoughts and opinions, your ideas. While the beautiful people at the SF Bay View have been doing everything they can to get the word out about what is happening here in Nevada, and specifically my situation, there have been a couple of people doing what they can to help behind the scenes. Mr. MacKay, who works with an organization based in Michigan called Humanity for Prisoners, and Mrs. Annabelle Parker of The Netherlands. Both truly beautiful people, but who have organizations and projects of their own.
So while I look forward to continuing to work with them in a limited capacity, I still need YOUR help to expose the web of corruption here in the Nevada prison system. We need a watchdog group to hold these wardens accountable.
Warden E.K. McDaniel
Due to my medical situation and the constant interference from these prisoncrats, I have been unable to talk about the fact that the warden here at Ely State Prison, E.K. McDaniel, is the ringleader in a circus of criminal claims. He arrived here from Oklahoma in 1994, I believe it was.
Back in Oklahoma, McDaniel held the title of deputy warden of security of Oklahoma State Prison and he ran the same program he implemented here, except those inmates were not having it. Several men died and guards were taken hostage in the ensuing conflict, one of the most deadly prison riots in U.S. history. E.K. McDaniel was exposed as a sadist and a criminal and he was run out of town.
After making his escape to Nevada, he found some fellow good ol' boys willing to give him a shot and, cutting costs at any cost, he made himself an invaluable asset to the higher ups. This time, E.K. was more Machiavellian in his tactics. Within the first six months he fired everyone in the administration he thought would not be with his program. He put in place Dwight Neven as his associate warden of operations and Bill Donat as his associate warden of programs.
Once E.K. McDaniel got all of his pieces in place, he flooded the general population with known rats, child molesters and psych patients, ensuring that there would be numerous inmate on inmate conflicts. Wars broke out between the different groups, and then the races. E.K. McDaniel loved it. He used this to lock the prison down, at the same time slashing all the programs that were not federally mandated.
And if his intentions were not clear in the beginning, they became clear when he shut down half of the entire general population units and made them disciplinary segregation units. He shut down the entire school building, the gym, and took away everything or anything that would give us something constructive to do.
He has cut the food budget so many times that we are down now to basically breakfast and dinner, much of which is inedible. So you are lucky to get one good meal a day. He has raised the canteen prices more times than I can count. And where the money is that is supposed to be put aside for prison programs like Christmas celebrations or educational movies and the like is a mystery.
Just last night I pushed the call button in my cell to ask the pigs if they could call the nurse. After 20 to 30 minutes with no answer I looked out the window of my cell door, and I could see into the security bubble. The pigs were in there watching a movie on the computer system I told you about.
A little recent history of Nevada prisons
I believe former Director of Prisons Jackie Crawford was a real reformer, not like these pretenders claiming to be advocates who really only have their self-interest in mind. I had one lady tell me that she is a prisoners' rights advocate, but she would only do what was beneficial to her or her husband who was in the pen; otherwise she would not help. That shit fucked me up, blew my wig back. First the prisoncrats told Jackie Crawford, OK, you want to change things? Take the head warden job at Lovelock prison and let's see what changes you can make.
She took it, and while I would not agree with everything she did, like creating a level system that discriminates against convicts who refuse to snitch, the woman did some really good things. But the prisoncrats were cunning in their deception. Just when Jackie Crawford was beginning to receive a lot of praise for what she was doing at Lovelock, the governor gave her the job of director of prisons, and I am sure she thought then she would be able to really change things.
But she was like a lame bunny in a sea of snakes. Every little thing that went wrong at any of the prisons was blamed on her. She was put under incredible pressures and had no real support. After a couple of years it all took its toll. She became physically ill, took a severance package and disappeared.
That is when this clown Howard Scumbag, I mean Skolnik, took over, a good ol' boy himself, and an admirer of E.K. McDaniel. The scene was set for an all out invasion. And the Octopus (E.K. McDaniel) spread its tentacles throughout the entire system. Having trained Neven and Donat for 10 years on how to pimp the system, commit murder, and suppress any subversive elements that may rise up, it was now time for them to get a prison of their very own, where they could carry out their master's lessons.
And so, when you see me go from here to High Desert State Prison, where Dwight Neven is now the head warden, and then to Nevada State Prison, where Bill Donat is now the head warden (Editor's note: Donat "retired" unexpectedly on Jan. 31, 2009), and you saw the harassment, torture and medical negligence continuing from place to place, and then my ending up right back here, this was no coincidence. I know each of these master pigs personally.
They have sent their underlings, correctional officers and inmates alike, to kill me. Or at the very least get me to shut up. They have beat me while I was handcuffed and shackled, taking a fistful of my hair and slamming my face into the concrete floor until my entire face was bloody and bruised.
They have broken bones in my spine, my nose, and on one occasion several of them finally got me down and held me while one took a running start and kicked me in the face with steel toed boots, ruining my once handsome smile. It was okay; I never used it much anyway. They have put me in cells with known enemies, and set me up to be shanked by skinheads. But every time they were either ineffective, or I sent them running back embarrassed.
Their latest attempt was to charge me with the prison murder of a known rat/child molester, in prison for raping and stabbing to death a young girl. Knowing I had nothing to do with it, they had to pay another known rat/rapist to lie against me. Facing the death penalty, I defended myself, and won. This was in September of 2007. They were exposed and embarrassed. And that is when all this other bullshit started.
Now I am not telling you all of this to brag or boast. And I am not telling you anything we here do not already know. It is all on record. My reason for telling you this is so that you can see the hell that men and women in this position must go through in hopes of holding on to their humanity and protecting that of the younger generations.
Imagine the good hard-working people, mothers and fathers, being forced into committing petty crimes right now to keep food on the table or to pay their mortgage because of this recession. These are not bad people. They are just trying to make it in a society and social structure (capitalist extremism) that cares more about corporate interests than people interests. And a lot of these hard-working good mothers and fathers, youngsters too, are getting locked up. Coming to prisons just like this one.
Now, due to the recession, it may be easier for you "squares" out there to relate because it is hitting you too. And maybe you thought about putting that can of sardines in your pocket when no one was looking, or walking out without paying. So maybe now you can see yourself in that position, just trying to make it.
But where I was born and raised, and in every impoverished community in Amerika and on the planet, there has never been a time when there wasn't a "recession." A lot of these people in prisons are good people, just like you. And with just a little support, to help us help ourselves, a lot of us can make it out of prison without becoming hardened criminals full of anger and hate. We can make it out and lead productive lives building up communities, raising our children, and making the future a better place for everyone.
This is what I have dedicated my life to, and this is why I need your help. I do not want your money. Neither I nor anyone associated with me will ever ask a dime of you. I only ask that you volunteer your time. I need at least one person who is good at researching and finding things on the internet. I also need someone who is either an attorney or friends with one, not to take my case – I will fight these pigs myself – but to assist in some very minor ways that will be of great help. Even if you feel you have little time and no skills to offer but moral support, that's okay. Please write in. I want to see from you.

If I am unable to respond immediately, as I have a lot of studying and work to do, another member of the August Initiative will contact you and keep you updated.

Right now it is just myself and a few other convicts. But we are committed.
16 thoughts on "How can I watch while they strip us of our humanity and not rebel?"
I have read other articles in the last few months that have made me change my views of our Nevada prison system. I am a tax payer in the state of Nevada who knows anyone can end up in jail / prison if the right situation was to come into your life. If what these stories such as this one reported here are actually true? I believe the American people should do something! Not enough people are willing to get involved.
Certainly not any Nevada lawmakers are willing to open some kind of investigation even while the information and evidence in so many cases are fact based and able to prove (abuse of authority under the color of law) and out and out abuse of humans no matter civil rights! Where the hell is the ACLU and all of these other alleged human rights folks!?
Funny that I only see them when cameras are pointed in their direction. It is certainly the only time I ever see Mr. Jackson.↓
I have someone very close to me within these prisons in Nevada and I can attest to the fact that these stories are VERY much true, sadly.
I just wanted to comment and say another sad story by Marritte. I can't wait for the day that he is finally treated for his illness. It's sad that people have to go such lengths as this to get even the basic of care.
He is not the only person fighting like this and it's sad a state would have such a sadistic view on how to handle real illnesses and go home and night and sleep a good nights sleep.↓
MARRITTE> why don`t you man up you arab faggot.learn how to spell "AMERICA", 3/4 of your story is pure fucking bull shit. the rest is policy.you don`t complane about getting on your knees to give head to your cellie. every inmate strips out according to nev. revised statue. you think your special, the train bus officers have to check thier weapons at the sally port. the only time have seen the sqaud with weapons on the ground. is to pick up a high risk inmate! they have to lock the prison down. if you was too sick to walk to intake,the aclu must love a scumbag like you! i was an c/o at ESP for 8yrs. your fasting tells me you just want attention! ihave seen fasting before,it don`t work! they should charge you for your care! gee i wonder why your kidneys are messed up? eating is good for your health i`m sad to say; also you shoull pay all court costs. you are a menise to society is the reason your in prison. not a permanent vacation. your a sorry bullshiter, but a good lier. your friend in lock down must be atrouble maker .some inmates like lock down,they don`t have to make dicisions, and they feel safe!see you in my bad dreams.↓
This level of abuse and cruelty is unacceptable anywhere! Marritte needs treatment and so do the other men and women entombed in Nevada's deadly prisons. Thanks to the Bayview for continuing to provide a voice to these victims of that state's sadism.
Marritte is a great writer and his story is powerful and haunting, so thank you also to Marritte for having the courage and the willingness to take on this task.
I hope we don't let you down.↓
Human Rights
Thank you Marritte for telling us this terrible, raw, story you and others have to live through. It is good that you and others hold onto your decency, humanity and solidarity. But the price is high, and it should not be like this.
Thank you Bay View for publishing the stories of Marritte and others, and giving us the opportunity to help fight injustices like these. I wish it would not be necessary!
The ACLU filed a lawsuit against ESP for medical neglect and misconduct, here are more details: http://www.aclu.org/prison/medical/34366prs20080306.html
I only hope it is effective. Several websites have now been established to publish information about what is going on inside the Nevada prisons, thanks to Marritte and other people who fight for justice and human rights.↓
sounds like the sf bayview paper is a left wing bleeding heart liberal communist, just like our marksist leader& PELOSI. IF YOU BELIEVE 10% OF THIS BULL, YOU HAVE BEEN DUPED. YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE BEFORE PRINTING. MAYBE NV. SHOULD SUE YOUR SUCKASS PAPER. I WORKED AT ESP FOR 8YRS. what say you? MAYBE HE SHOULD BE IN PERU MAX PRISON THAT PIECE OF CRAP THAT KILLED THE ALABAMA GIRL, AND THE PERUVIAN GIRL! INMATES LOVE TO COMPROMISE PEOPLE. THE ACLU ARE COMMUNIST TOO, WHY DON`T YOU KISS TWO MUSLINS, "abomalong"& POPA SMERF THAT WANT THE MOSQE NEAR THEGROUND ZERO .YOUR PELOSI & HORSEFACE HARRY. NOW THEY ARE A PIECE OF WORK.↓
Just because
I am so sick of all this poor me crap from him and some of the others. Do you even know what they are in prison for? I bet if you really knew what they were in for, you wouldnt be crying this poor me crap and supporting them.↓
Well I will gladly tell you why my son is in ESP. He sprayed someone with pepper spray. That's right pepper spray! He got 5-8 years in the worst prison in the US. He has been in the hole for 6 years, beatin', abused and treated worse than anyone could treat an animal. They know you can do nothing about it until you exaust your grievinces, so they keep returning them and never let you get a grievence through. The people there are sick and twisted, a million times worse than the ones locked up. My son will never be the same. I only hope and pray he survives and is not the next one found dead of unknown reasons. All this for pepper spraying a man that deserved it. You tell me if this is justice.I am disabled and raising his son. The military cannot torture people but ESP can! I don't get it.↓
the other white meat
Maybe if you didn't commit crime..you would not be there…instead 60K of my tax dollars goes to pay for your criminal ass to be there..kill yourself already!↓
meat. Didnt you read what the father said? He is in jail for PEPPER SPRAYING SOMEONE. That doesnt deserve a jail sentence in an overcrowded system when there are murderers running free out here in East Oakland. Sounds like barely a misdemeanor, if that. The system needs serious fixin man.↓
Does anyone know anything about the latest death on 4/4/09, George Reyes 49 years old and it appears his time was to expire on 4/14/09? How many more? I want to file a complaint against every medical person that works there with the Nevada Nursing Board. Does anyone know names of staff other than Joe Brackbill and Greg? My brother died as a result of these people. I want justice. Does anyone know a guard named Cobb.↓
Christine C
Ok!! to all you inmates haters and ignorant people…Do you realize that we have alot of over sentenced inmates in our jails? Aot of over charged inmates in our jails? You must know that Nevada Justice is the most corrupt or dont you?? No you rather sit there in your ignorant bliss and pass judgment and pay with YOUR tax dollars for the lawsuits that are coming out of these prisons.. I would love to see your ignorant face when someone you love gets hard time years in Ely for smoking pot or stealing a pack of gum, gets sent to a concentration camp type prison like ELY ran by a sadist and criminal that forces your loved one to transform into a monster. Watch them catch another case for defending himself because guards let him get raped, then he spends time in the hole 23 hrs a day with 2 meals a day not even enough to fill a 7 years old belly. Meanwhile this "wondeful" adminstration doing there job.. adds 5 more years to his sentence because he defended himself..It's only when this happens will you say "ahhh, this is wrong"..Thats whats going on in our prisons, not everyone is there for violent crimes there are alot of paper criminals in Ely..Wake up and learn before you speak, it is people like you these closet criminals with sadistic menatality like Skolnick our modern day Hitlers is why we have these problems with this country…Pray you never have a loved one in Ely, pray that you never are in the company of some else that commits a crime, pray that a child molester never hurts your kids forcing you to seek retalitation and prison sentence, pray you never have to defend yourself against another and you win, pray you are never wrongly convicted under mistaken identity in a rape or other circumstance..And in the meantime pray for forgivness that you have become so ignorant…
Good Luck↓
the inmates get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, SOME TIMES WHEN THE PRISON IIS LOCKED DOWN THEY GET A SACK LUNCH,ISSUED AT BREAKFAST OR AT LUNCH, I HAVE SEEN AMIN. WORKERS& EVEN THE WARDENS& MAINTAINTS WORKERS MAKING SANDWICHES FOR THE INMATES LUNCH..SO DON`T BE COMPROMISED BY THE INMATES, THEY ARE PASTMASTERS AT COMPROMISING FREE PERSONS& AND STAFF. .EVERYONE IS WRONGLY IN PRISON! FAVORITE LINE , MY PARTNER DID THE CRIME AND IA`M DOING THE TIME! SHOULD MAN UP & DO THIER TIME . i was a c/o for 10yrs.and i know what i`m talking about. only 1or2% are innocent. about 75% come back to prison because they like it or there nice upstanding citizens! sorry to burst your bubble!↓
i am sorry to inform you that the court system put your son in prison! not ely max state prison ely nv. i worked at esp for 8yrs.i think your son has too much time on his hands! you don`t go to lock down for being a good guy, and or gased unless you don`t comply ; they give you a choice with the shift commander talking to the inmate. the same proceedures are in place as when i was there1 YOUR SON SOUNDS LIKE A TROUBLE MAKER! i was in vietnam,if they think waterboarding is bad,try a 12v battery and jumper cables hooked to your testicles,or the nipples of a woman. now thats torture! if your son has got roughed up. it was that he would not comply. i don`t belive his story, sorry.↓
first of all i knew a few people in ely one is still there but have cut all ties off from him yeeeears ago maybe 10 yrs ago because he let prison get the best of him and became a skin head, when he wasnt like that on the streetz at all…he was a down ass white boy kicked it with nothing but black people…but now hes a rascist son of a bitch(jerry holman),as far as people gettin treated wrong up there i believe it lol i do watch lock up raw on msnbc on saturdays…msnbc should go ESP so the whole country can see……..i think the inmate is exsaggerating a lil bit because ive seen some of the prison buses nd they do have windows,but who is to say,we are not there there for we do not kno…!!!! but ill pray!!!!!↓

PEORIA HEIGHTS Ill --The streets of Peoria Heights will be filled with color once again this weekend.
It's part of the 2nd annual Chalk the Walk event which is held throughout Tower Park and the Village Hall parking lot.
The event is expected to bring in more than 500 artists, amateur to professional.
They will be creating art, with nothing but chalk, the sidewalk and their imagination.
"That's the great thing about chalk, said organizer," Stephanie Turner. "It goes back to your childhood when you sat on the sidewalk and played with Crayola. This is the same thing but a little bit better quality. You get better color out of it. You don't have to be Van Gogh to sit and play with this. You can make something wonderful and anyone can do it."
The event is free to the public and will run from 10am to 5pm.

On July 25, the New York State Assembly Tourism, Arts, and Sports Development Committee got one step closer to finally legalizing the sport of MMA in "The Empire State" when Governor David Paterson appointed Melvina Lathan as chairperson of the New York State Athletic Commission.
Lathan has an accomplished background in boxing, having judged 235 professional boxing matches, including 82 title fights.
While many boxing professionals (and purists) are quick to denounce the sport of mixed martial arts, Lathan isn't one of them.
From Lathan's interview with the Newark Star Ledger:
"I believe that at some point (MMA) will have to be sanctioned in New York. Obviously, I can't say as much as I would like to say because it really happens through the legislative process here, and I don't want to say anything that will hinder its progress. But I feel positive because it is a fast-growing sport and one of the most popular sports. It is an intense sport, it is a difficult sport, but it is so different from boxing. I believe that there is room for the two sports, but you can't compare them. A lot of people are afraid of what they don't know. If they were more educated about sport ... it would be easier for them to accept it."
Lathan is set to assume duties at the beginning of 2009, when current chairperson Ron Scott Stevens finishes his five-year term.
While it's refreshing to hear her enthusiastic approach, she does recognize that most New York lawmakers suffer from an education deficit. To help rally the cause, the UFC is leading the charge with some of its more popular NY-based fighters to help spread the word.
Enter former UFC welterweight champion Matt "The Terror" Serra.
Alongside disciples Pete "Drago" Sell and George Sotiropolous, Serra came to the UFC 88: "Breakthrough" viewing party last night at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in New York City to help further the cause.
From Serra:
"I'm a New Yorker, so of course nothing would make me happier than fighting in my home state. I like going to Vegas as much as the next guy, but its crazy to think that some antiquated law is keeping us out of a place like Madison Square Garden. You know the kind of money [Manhattan] could make with a UFC pay-per-view? Look what they did at the Target Center. We got some passionate fans here and we would blow the roof off this place."
Serra has been one of the driving forces behind MMAfacts.com -- a Web site the UFC recently set up to help legalize the sport of MMA. Part of the movement is to get MMA fans to visit the site and send an INTELLIGENT and COHERENT email to their local legislator calling for action.
Well, what are you waiting for?

growler purchased at the brewery april 28/2011 and kept refrigerated. sampled may 8/2011.
pours deep dark brown, neither black nor opaque, with a small cap of fine tan head. the head drops slowly and leaves a thick layer of lace as it falls.
aroma is good. earthy and herbal hops. bit of wood. big malt presence - whole wheat bread, biscuit, and cracker. faint alcohol. anise and light roast. hints of coffee and milk chocolate, but still not coming across as something like a stout or porter. lightly fruity. nice caramel character. bit woody.
taste is great. dark and milk chocolate dipped noble hops. earthy and herbal, with a nice accompanying light piney character. slightly toasted white bread. cracker. hint of biscuit. there's a bit of american porter character, but lighter. bit of alcohol. faint caramel. touch of dark fruit.
mouthfeel is good. just under medium body. slightly below medium carbonation level.
drinkability is great. nice balance. good depth and complexity. tasty and drinkable. it doesn't go overly far into IPA territory, and where it does it sticks to the more herbal side of things than the assertive citrus+pine combo. certainly lives up to the "session" part of the name, even if about 1% higher than such things usually are. it just seems like a beer you could easily drink all night. damn tasty.

Notes from 5/16/11
A - Pours black with less than one finger of brown head. Head is somewhat persistent and leaves some nice lacing.
S - A lot of coffee, citrus and pine up front. I smell some sort of mint as well, along with some dark bread malt.
T - Similar to smell with more chocolate in the taste than the nose. Good amount of roasted malt on the finish. Very enjoyable.
M - Mouthfeel is light/medium with good carbonation. Earthy bitter finish.
O - This is a nice full flavored and very drinkable black ale. For all the complex flavors, it still has a nice lightness to it.

Tap at Founders.
Dark cola pour, finger of tan head retains well. Sticks to the glass surprisingly well.
Roasty, malt and coffee. Quite a bit of coffee.
Whole bunch of coffee. Some roast malt and dark chocolate. Healthy dose of piney twang. Cocoa and more roast coffee.
Lighter bodied. Like a cheap coffee thin, though this is not necessarily bad like it sounds. Large flavor for the lightness. Great session brew.

These notes have been hanging around my phone since KBS release day when I enjoyed this beer with TCGoalie. I am glad he added it because I have been far too lazy to do it myself.
Session noir is served up a very deep blackish brown and is surprisingly opaque. It was served up with no head at all, but the fine folks at Founders were quite busy that day so I will not complain.
The smell is mostly citrusy and piney hops of front with a slightly smoky and roasty presence mixed in. It also has a bit of a tangy fruitiness that I found set it apart a bit from most other highly hopped black ales.
The flavor is crazy mix of citrus, pine, chocolate and a touch of char. All flavors are very well integrated. In fact, they may even be too well integrated for my taste, sort of like mixing all the paint colors together and getting brown. This is a very dry beer with plenty of bitterness.
The body is on the lighter side of medium and it has a fairly nice smoothness to it. The finish is very dry with some nice hop bitterness and astringent roasted malt character lingering after I swallow.
Overall this is a pretty decent sessionable black ale. While I have a bit of an issue with different flavors competing with one another, this is a problem that a lot of these types of beers have. I think that overall Founders did a pretty good job with this beer, though I would rather crush a few Endurance ales if I had the choice.

On tap at the brewery last Friday. Served in a snifter.
Pours near black with a good creamy off-white head. Good retention and a bit of spotty lacing on the way down. The nose starts out with a great coffee and mild roast aroma. Behind that comes some nice piney bitterness. The flavor combines the roasted malt and pine-hop character quite well. Nice bitterness coming from multiple angles. Light coffee as well. Light body with a nice, dry finish. Highly recommended. Founders wins, as per usual.

Pours black with good lacing. Not much more to say here...solid.
This smells of crisp pine and citrus hops alongside chocolate malts fills my nose.
I enjoy the taste of this one. Mild chocolate malts meet mostly pine hops to create an enjoyable taste. A bit of smoky flavor creeps in adding a small bit of variety. The complexity of this is low, but it is billed as session worthy. I concur.
The carbonation is low creating a better mouthfeel than if this was carbonation heavy. It adds a feature that differentiates this from a run of the mill brew. The feel is medium though each inch if this beer is broadened to create maximum mouthfeel effect.
This is a session black ale that is certainly worth a try. It has been on tap for a couple of weeks, I'm surprised I'm the first to review it.

Thanks to warnerry for sharing his growler.
A- A pretty dark brown liquid with a thin but creamy brown head that leaves nice lacing as it works its way down the glass.
S- Some citrus with a bit of a roasted aspect. There are notes of coffee and chocolate. Pretty aromatic.
T- Citrus-y with a nice roasted aspect. Caramel and coffee are noticeable. Tasty but not intense by any means.
M- A nice creamy body and leaves a bit of a coating in the mouth on the finish.
O- An excellent session beer- good flavors without much of a punch.

Growler picked up at the brewpub, also had on tap there. Thanks grub!
Pours a clear dark ruby reddish black, dark and brown away from the light, a bit of colour in the edges, thick and chunky light tan head forms and settles down to a medium ring around the glass and a solid layer, tons of lace sticks everywhere.
Smell is really nice, chocolate wafer roast, big biscuit, some caramel sweetness, light chocolate milk, grapefruit and some pine, orange peel, floral, lightly spicy, juicy, with some big and roasty malts, but still light.
Taste is really nice, chocolate milk, chocolate wafers with a bit of espresso, biscuit, real nice hoppiness, malt balls, light grapefruit, sweet orange peel, light fruitiness, a bit of raisin and cherry, balanced finish, super smooth.
Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, real chewy for the ABV with low carbonation. Goes down too easy, really nice, great mouthfeel, just enough character to keep it interesting and low enough ABV to drink way too much of it. Thanks Russ!

Thanks brew3crew for bringing this :)
Pours a thin brown with a decent amount of frothy head. Smells chocolatey and coffee heavy. A touch of hop presence on the nose and the tongue. A very light roast coupled with coffeeness. Super drinkable . Smooth and light. Definitely would love to see this bottled

A-dark black with nice tan head

T-almost exactly like it smells. Lots of coffee notes. Almost z bold taste. Love coffee flavors but this is way too much coffee
M-medium body and smooth with a nice coffee after taste
O-nice beer just way too much coffee.

Thanks to Chad for sharing this one. Served in a Lost Abbey Rastal Teku glass.
A - Finger-plus of tan foam that settles to a thin cap and glass-coating lace. Pretty close to black body, with a glint of ruby when held to the light. I'm always impressed when a beer looks good in this type of glass.
S - Roasty, sugar cookie, powdered cocoa, light floral hop character, some pungent Centennial orange character as well.
T - Flavor is a nice collection of sweet and roasty malts, like smoke and char, and floral and citrus hops. There's a bit of tar in the finish that I don't care for, and frequently get from beers with certain specialty malts, but otherwise this is quite pleasant. Obviously no alcohol here.
M - Zesty carbonation, a touch gritty, but otherwise medium-bodied. Clean finish with light dryness. Goes down easy like a "session" ale should.
D - Other than the char finish that I didn't enjoy, this was a very enjoyable beer of which I could drink a lot. Would have it again if it showed up on-tap, as it would be a nice, flavorful, low-ABV option to have.

Play Ball!: Howard McGillin, Chryssie Whitehead, Patti Cohenour, Nancy Anderson Star in Damn Yankees, Starting March 7
By Andrew Gans
The Paper Mill Playhouse's production of the baseball-themed musical Damn Yankees begins previews at the New Jersey venue March 7 prior to an official opening March 11.
Directed by Mark S. Hoebee with choreography by Denis Jones, performances will continue through April 1.
The cast is led by Howard McGillin (Applegate), Chryssie Whitehead (Lola), Christopher Charles Wood (Joe Hardy), Joseph Kolinski (Joe Boyd), Patti Cohenour (Meg Boyd) and Nancy Anderson (Gloria Thorpe) with Ray DeMattis (Van Buren), Susan Mosher (Sister), Jill Abramovitz (Doris), Steve Czarnecki (Rocky), Gary Lynch (Welch) and Mike Cannon (Smokey).
Rounding out the ensemble are Giovanni Bonaventura, Grady McLeod Bowman, Scott Brateng, Dick Decareau, Taurean Everett, Justin Henry, Corey Hummerston, Robin Lounsbury, Robbie Roby, Ryan Steer, Lauren Elaine Taylor, Vaden Thurgood and Anna Aimee White.
With a book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop, music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, the classic musical features such tunes as "Whatever Lola Wants," "Heart" and "Six Months Out of Every Year."
"When a devilish dealmaker offers Joe Boyd the chance to take his beloved Washington Senators to victory over the 'damn Yankees' in return for his soul, Joe takes it. But as the Senators' stats soar, Joe realizes he's losing his wife and looks for a loophole. Enter sizzling-hot temptress Lola, a charter member of the Home-wreckers Hall of Fame. Who will win? We're not telling!," according to press notes.
The production also features musical direction by Ben Whiteley, scenic design by Rob Bissinger, costumes by Alejo Vietti, lighting design by Tom Sturge, hair and wig design by Charles LaPointe and sound design by Randy Hansen. The production stage manager is Kathy J. Faul.

Street View Trike Chased by Train
In Brazil the Street View trike has been hitching a ride on a number of boats to capture imagery of the Amazon. In Canada and Switzerland the Street View camera has been mounted on snowmobiles to capture Street Views on piste.
Now, in Switzerland, the Street View trike has been attached to the front of a huge and powerful locomotive to capture Street View imagery of the Rhaetian Railway. The rail journey from Albula and Bernina has been on the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites since 2008 and soon we will all be able to experience this beautiful journey via the magic of Street View.
If you can't wait for the new Street View imagery to appear on Google Maps you could have a look at this video map of the Glacier Express that I created a few years ago (and miraculously still seems to work). An even more impressive video map is the Trans Siberian Express map produced by Google (from Moscow-Vladivostok).
Or you could check out this video of the Street View trike in action on the Albula and Bernina line.

Chantal Chamandy was born in Alexandria, Egypt, raised in Montreal, and is of Greek and Lebanese descent. Given the multicultural background of the singer/songwriter, it was, perhaps, fitting that such an international figure was the first permitted by the Egyptian government to hold a filmed concert at The Pyramids of Giza, the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The one off show, Beladi, A Night At The Pyramids With the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, took place on September 7 and was filmed for DVD and television, to be broadcast on PBS in March 2008. It has also been licensed for broadcasting distribution around the world by Europe Images International/M5.
With the singer performing 18 songs in five languages to a crowd of more than 5,000 — accompanied by dancers from Montreal, belly dancers, and the principal dancer of the Cairo Opera House Ballet Company, Ahmed Nabil — the show required a dozen cameras (supervised by French director Gérard Pullicino) and a huge lighting rig to cover the immense expanse of the The Giza Plateau, the site encompassing The Pyramids and The Sphinx.
Chamandy herself was the artistic director for the event, and Matthieu Larivée designed lighting, with Guy St-Amour designing sets for the massive undertaking. "When they called me to say that they wanted to do a concert of Chantal co-starring The Pyramids, I thought that a great challenge," says Larivée. "It's easy to just do a full blast of lights, but I wanted to highlight the edges of The Pyramids and do something different."
St-Amour adds that his goal was not to recreate or concentrate too heavily on the history of the site, but to use the shapes and lines in a more contemporary way. "There is Egypt — this country of mystery and big geometrical realizations and architecture," says St-Amour. "I said to myself that I could not compare anything in the world to this site or even approach what was done 5,000 years before. Thus, I kept the geometrical history, and I made a full set renderings to propose to Chantal — but really a lot of different ones — and we finally found something that fit well on the site — subtle but of good taste." Éric Tendi worked with St-Amour on renderings in advance, and FranÇis Farley assisted on site.
St-Amour adds that his inspiration came from the site itself as well as from the singer. "In the past, I was fascinated by Egypt and its history," he says. "Then, to create a concept for a scene at a site full of history, was to me more than an honor. What inspired me at first was Chantal's and [her husband] Greg's determination — their desire to succeed — and the originality of the kind of show that Chantal wanted to offer to the public — a show and not only that, but also a song recital," says St-Amour.
Larivée, who worked on the project for a year, was also responsible for working with the director on the correct stage placement for the show, not an easy task since the land around the monuments is not at all level. "After we first scouted the site, we asked for the land plot, but nobody had it," says Larivée. "So we got it from Google Earth. We used SketchUp and downloaded to Wysiwyg, but there were actually roads missing. You decide the stage needs to be here, for example, but all of a sudden, there's a road there."
The placement of the stage ended up situated so that the camera shots for the HD DVD shoot would pick up one Pyramid and The Sphinx. "I saw we needed too much lighting and power to light all The Pyramids for each shot, so we used Kephren, the most interesting pyramid, as the main background and the others for side shots," says Larivée. This also marked the first time The Sphinx has been lit for such purposes. "We had to work around the fencing and barriers — which are there for the tourists — surrounding The Sphinx, but they also had scaffolding set up for repairing the monument," Larivée adds.
Larivée and his team, including assistant LD/programmer Valy Tremblay — whose company Proluxon also provided the in-house Wysiwyg services for preprogramming — and programmer Hubert Gagnon, were all onsite to program the show. While getting the right camera shots was not problematic once they had the stage where they wanted it, one major issue was the lack of a roofing or tower structure over or around the stage and no way to have a backdrop to cover the monuments — which would have defeated the purpose anyway — so all the gear had to be placed on the sides of the stage or on the floor. In addition, the use of no truss and no unusual staging meant using loads of scaffolding instead, a process that added to the timeline. "They even moved a road and built a wall through our site just a few weeks before our setup, and of course, without letting us know," says Tremblay. "Final positioning and construction had to be revised drastically on location. But as we were expecting some messy situations, we were very well prepared and kept adjusting our rig and schedule accordingly to the real onsite situation."
Communicating during load-in also proved problematic, as the team learned upon arrival that using any sort of radio communication was not permitted. In addition, a daily light-and-sound show that is part of the site's normal tourist activities until midnight was not halted for the set up of Chamandy's show. The crew, therefore, installed gear at the various locations all day using a pick-up truck to get to each part of the site and then worked through the night on programming.
Transporting and cabling all the fixtures on this immense historical site was another job unto itself. "We would take a road out to the further pyramid, but the pick-up would sink into the sand," says Larivée. "So there were times when we were pushing the truck. We tried with a donkey; we tried everything. After 10 days, we finally got a bigger pick-up with larger tires."
Zap Technology BigLite 4.5 units were used at the corners of The Pyramids to blast light along the edges of the structures. "The brightness of the BigLites helped us a lot in lighting up the Pyramid and the Sphinx, reaching a height of 300m," says Gagnon. Griven Kolorado MK3 architectural 2.4kW HMI wash units were also used on Pyramids Kephren and Keops and on the wall at the bottom of The Sphinx. "The MK3 also surprised me with their power on the surface of Kephren," adds Gagnon.
The control plan included using three programmers/operators, each assigned to his own part of the rig: Gagnon, the main programmer, managed all the stage musical looks and the main cue list of the show; Larivée and Tremblay managed elements around the perimeter, with Larivée concentrating on controlling intensity and some effects, and Tremblay focusing on The Pyramids and The Sphinx. "Having three programmers with free access to the whole rig/show file at the same time is still a new group task even for senior operators," says Tremblay. "A group synergy is an indispensable add-on to get the most of such a powerful system. From that synergy, a solid team procedure can emerge."
Preprogramming for many of the songs took place in Proluxon's studio and the rehearsal studio in Montreal. "There was no other way to get the most out of our rig in that short time line," says Tremblay. "From approval to the concert — this was one month — nearly 600 fixtures spread on a square mile of 'sacred land.'"
Because of some delays with scaffolding and a few staging issues, the lighting load in ran late, leaving the programmers only two nights of full programming. "We had to do a lot in advance but also on Wysiwyg in a hotel room during the load in," says Gagnon. "Due to the delay in the installation, we didn't get a rehearsal, so the show for the three of us was the first time we saw the final result. We were a bit nervous!"
The system consisted of MA Lighting MAnet with four grandMAs (one for each operator and one backup) and eight NSPs. All DMX for The Pyramids and The Sphinx was transmitted wirelessly via a Wireless Solution system that Gagnon says pleasantly surprised him, as it transmitted up to 1,200m. "We could jump in our own 'world' at any time in the process, while Hubert was crunching almost 1,000 cues via Wysiwyg," says Tremblay. "Using this very strong MA network feature — multi-user plus word filters — we could easily work on the whole rig or any parts, according to our availability." Tremblay also managed all DMX data/patch, the MA network, and the wireless DMX requests.
The lighting department also kept a spare grandMA at the hotel — a sort of portable Wysiwyg studio — and to take it to the more remote locations at the site for testing and basic positioning. "These days, I couldn't imagine managing this size gig any other way," says Tremblay. "What a nice night it is to be traveling with a grandMA in an old pick-up truck, firing up our rig as we traveled in the desert."
For the stage performance itself, Larivée used a mix of Vari-Lite and Martin fixtures, LED units from Color Kinetics and PixelRange, Robert Juliat followspots, conventionals from Strand and James Thomas Engineering, and atmospheric effects from MDG. An Airstar balloon played the role of the moon, which the performer specifically requested.
Undertaking such a monumental — literally — project was challenging, yet rewarding, from all reports. "Anyone who worked in these conditions will agree with me: everything was hard and painful," says Tremblay. "We knew that, and we also knew we couldn't afford to be on our own and would use many local recourses. When it's hard, you can make it harder!"
And the designer himself was extremely pleased with the results of the team's hard work and the clarity of the show. "We were shooting HD, so we had a good field of depth. When you see the result, it looks almost like scenery," says Larivée.
Talk about aging gracefully — 5,000-year-old scenery doesn't look so bad. Beladi is currently being developed into a live touring show. The HD DVD will be released in Blu-Ray and 5.1 enhanced surround sound.

That's big enough to share a beer with a friend but not quite big enough to feed a monk during lent. German monks would drink up to 5 liters a day!
"Three hundred or four hundred years ago, a group of Paulaner monks in Bavaria …started making a stronger beer, a double beer, called doppelbock," Sorensen said. "The story goes the monks would give up eating and literally would drink this 'liquid bread' to sustain them through their Lenten fast."—CNN
Here's a story about an Iowa man who decided to live like a monk for lent in 2011—beer every day for 46 days!

Great Day's marriage and family therapist, Paul Mavrogeorge, visited Great Day to talk about how to determine what your parenting style to make sure you don't lean too far one way or the other.
Parents who allow children to get away with too much, trying to be a "friends," which means you allow bad behavior to happen.
Parents who are too strict, which causes children to rebel or become sneaky.
Paul says it's important to find someplace in the middle, known as authoritative.
He says it's also important to be consistent. You can't be permissive when your tired and then authoritarian when you're mad.

WalMart, AmEx Banking the Poor
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Last month the FDIC made a big deal out of pointing out that 17 million adults are "unbanked," and 51 million are considered "underbanked," meaning they have poor access to checking accounts and credit cards.
Every big problem like this has hidden within it a big opportunity, as American Express (AXP) and Walmart (WMT) seem bound to prove.
Without banks, consumers rely on check cashing services and pawn shops that take a huge bite out of every dollar going through them. Companies like Fast Cash Financial Services (FCFS) on the transaction side and EZ Pawn (EZPN) on the credit side do big business, as I noted at Seeking Alpha recently, because they have offices where these people live. The margins are enormous.
Past efforts to reach these consumers through technology, prepaid debit cards offered by companies like Green Dot (GDOT) and Netspend (NTSP), have failed, even with celebrity endorsers like Russell Simmons and Magic Johnson, because it's tough to get poor people to trust plastic and celebrities aren't brands. Plus, folks want a physical location, not a virtual one.After trialing this business earlier in the year and seeming to back off due to poor results, as American Banker reported at the time, WalMart and American Express have now decided to go all-in with a prepaid debit card dubbed Bluebird, Yahoo News reports. Bluebird offers the unbanked and underbanked enormous value. These are Walmart shoppers. They can now get money turned into AmEx card value at any Walmart cashier, rather than having to join a single line at the front of the store. This makes a difference. Walmart cashiers don't have glass windows in front of them. Walmarts are clean. Try being a mom living on $30,000 a year -- things like this make a difference. A modest paycheck, deposited directly through Bluebird, will now create free access to 22,000 ATMs in Amex's ExpressCash network. I just checked near my own Atlanta address, and found 15 ExpressCash locations within 1.2 miles of my house. Apparently those no-name "ATM machines" at all the local convenience stores are actually AmEx machines -- who knew? Next year the plan is to roll out paper checks -- nothing gives my neighbors more pleasure than writing checks that won't bounce.

The problem:
We have an application that needs a lot of manufacturer-approved capabilities. It also need to start up on boot. So we figured we could use another sis that has the signed application as an embedded sis and adds a few files with the additional parameters. But then we found that auto-start doesn't work for embedded sis files.
Does this mean we'll have to send the application to be signed again every time we want to change some of these parameters (and this will probably be necessary for every different operator we deploy with)? Is there any way to circumvent this problem?
With Java apps, these parameters would go in the jad file, so we could change them as often as we like without having to send the app to certification again. But Symbian doesn't have jad files.
Any ideas?

Hi, everybody!
May I say "did you want to say a grace" in sense "would you like to say a grace now"? So the word "did" is used not in the past simple form, but in form of subjunctive.
