There's an art to packing. Learning this art will help you make the most of any photographic expedition and enjoy it more.
Do pack the essentials. Don't pack too much. Traveling with too much is hard to handle, tiring, and can be costly. Less is more – up to a point.
Pack light, washable, quick-drying, versatile clothing that's comfortable for both walking and casual dinners out. Wear a good pair of light, waterproof hiking boots. Use sun protection: sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses. Have waterproof rain shells (jacket and pants) on hand. Use light gloves, hat, long underwear, and a warm light sweater or pullover when it's cold. Layers rule.
The right bags can make your journey easier. Wheels save you wear and tear. Make sure your camera and/or computer bag fits under an airplane seat or in overhead compartments. (I use LowePro Mini Trekker and Roadrunner bags.) Check your clothing but carry your gear on with you to protect it from being damaged or stolen. If you're ever forced to check your gear, carry on one camera and lens around your neck.
Cameras and Lenses
Always carry a backup camera. If one is damaged or stolen, you'll still be able to shoot with the other.
Choose the right lenses. I travel with lenses for three ranges – wide, medium, and long. I rarely walk with all three lenses. Lens shades are important. Polarizing filters are the most useful filters.
Dust and Moisture Protection
Protect your equipment from moisture and dust. I pack all of my lenses and cameras in sealable plastic bags. (I use Ziplocs.) Pack a small cloth to wipe down damp equipment. Consider using a rain cover for your camera. (I use Aquatech covers.) Bring a sensor cleaning system. (I use Visible Dust products.)
Image Storage
Invest in a few large-capacity media cards so you don't have to stop shooting in the field. (I use SanDisk 16 gig CF cards). Download onto one portable hard drive and backup to a second. (I use LaCie 500GB Rugged drives.) When you fly, carry one at all times.
Customs How-To
On the web, do a little research on traveling to your destination and determine if a carnet (an official government document proving ownership) is recommended. Even if it's not, travel with a copy of the insurance policy that lists your equipment and serial numbers.
Before you travel, take the time to get organized and be prepared. You'll make better photographs and enjoy traveling more, too.
One more note: Blurbarians, enter the South Africa Photo Safari Sweepstakes for a chance to go on a 10-day photo safari with John Paul Caponigro. You can't win if you don't enter, so give it a go!

Written by George Freedman, DDS Friday, 31 October 2008 19:00
In First Impressions, George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience.
bluephase G2
Much like the high-speed handpiece, the curing light is an indispensable operative tool for the dental practitioner. Early composites were cured with ultraviolet lights (which can possibly damage unshielded eyes). Composite technology quickly evolved to visible (halogen) light-curing units, which are safer, faster, and easier. Effective new polymerization initiators cured composites quickly. (It's easy to forget that in the early composite days, the dentist held the restorative in place with a matrix, relatively motionless and moisture-free, for 4 minutes or longer to attain a successful self-cure polymerization). In time, xenon-powered PAC lights, ultrapowerful halogen lights, and argon curing lasers competed with the standard curing unit. None, though, made as immediate an impact as LED (lightemitting diode) units, which have largely replaced halogen in dental practices. The early LED units had a narrow curing spectrum that did not cover all the common initiators, leaving many flowables, provisionals, and sealants unpolymerized. Ivoclar Vivadent's new bluephase G2 LED curing light has polywave LED technology (380 to 550 nm) that cures all dental restorative materials. The lithium polymer battery permits both cordless and connected functions, allowing continuous operation, should the charge become exhausted. The internally vented cooling fan allows for extended periods of operation without shutting down. The bluephase G2 produces a continuous 1,200 mW/cm² through a 10-mm wand that covers even large posterior restorations. Its probe-tip focusing technology offers excellent residual light intensity, even as the distance from the tooth increases. Both composites and adhesives can be cured in just 10 seconds, regardless of shade. The bright, built-in LED screen provides an informative display that fully informs both the practitioner and the assistant of the operational status at any given time. For more information, call (800) 533-6825 or visit ivoclarvivadent.us.com.
Today, the post-and-core procedure is one of the most commonly performed restorative treatments around the country. As more and more patients are electing to keep their teeth (versus extraction), the post-endodontic restoration is an increasingly important part of the dental armamentarium. The function of the post is to provide an anchor within the canal system of the endodontically treated tooth, thereby anchoring the core that retains the restorative crown after preparation. For more than a decade, LuxaCore has been the dental profession standard for tooth restoration after endodontics and before the crown. Now, Zenith Dental DMG has introduced the LuxaPost, a root post that combines the highest manufacturing quality with a distinctive ease of use. It must be considered that the post is basically designed as a dentin replacement material and thus should act as one. This means high flexural strength, dentinal coloration, and excellent adhesion to both tooth and core materials. LuxaPost has high flexural strength, allowing it to bend with the dentin rather than fracturing due to functional stress, and it has a high transparency that provides a superior aesthetic result. LuxaPost combines with the popular LuxaCore to form a mono-bloc that effectively prepares the post-endodontic dentition for crown-and-bridge procedures. Retention grooves in the coronal segment of the post provide additional physical retention for the core material. Luxa-Post is tapered to minimize internal preparation of the root system, is supplied in 3 sizes that are readily distinguishable through a color-coded application system, and is easy to trim with high-speed instruments. LuxaPost creates a reliable retention of the core build-up material where there is insufficient coronal structure remaining after endodontics. For more information, call (800) 662-6383 or visit zenithdental.com.
Venus Temp C&B
Temporary restorations place the dental practitioner on the horns of a dilemma: the temporary restorative material should be functional, aesthetic, strong, resistant, resilient, and comfortable. Yet, it should also be easy to fabricate chairside, cement, and remove. Early provisional materials were powder-and-liquid methyl-methacrylates that were difficult to manipulate, difficult to fabricate, smelled bad, tasted horrible, and looked worse. Over the past 25 years, provisional technology has evolved from methyl-methacrylates to composites. Temporary restorations are increasingly easy to fabricate chairside and within minutes. The technique utilizes a template made of the patient's natural or restored dentition prior to tooth preparation. Heraeus Kulzer has introduced its Venus Temp C&B as part of its Venus flagship restorative brand, a group of high-quality products that marry direct composite and indirect porcelain solutions into one single restorative family. Venus Temp C&B is a 2-component, self-cure dental provisional restorative material comprised of multifunctional methacrylate esters. Very importantly, however, it is free of methyl-methacrylate. Therefore, Venus Temp C&B has no bad smell or taste and no horrendous shrinkage during polymerization. It protects prepared teeth from external chemicals and maintains the occlusal relationships from tooth preparation to cementation, simplifying final cementation and reducing the need for chairside adjustments, a fact greatly appreciated by both the practitioner and the patient. Venus Temp C&B has excellent aesthetics, allowing the patient with the provisional restoration in place to enjoy the final restoration's aesthetics while functioning effectively with the product's unique combination of strength and beauty. As with all innovative products, while Venus Temp C&B's enhanced properties can be readily understood, they must be seen and used intraorally to be really appreciated. For more information, call (800) 431-1785 or visit the Web site heraeus-kulzer-us.com.
Spee-Dee Build-Up
Core build-up materials have undergone a major evolution. Once, amalgam was the ideal build-up choice prior to crown preparation; amalgam, however, bonds to neither dentin nor enamel and often leaves a "tattoo" on adjacent hard or soft structures. Strong compressively, amalgam has virtually no shear strength whatsoever. Resin-based core materials appeared in the mid-1980s; unfortunately, neither the bonding agents available nor the resin materials were up to the task. Today's resin core materials, and their associated adhesives, have excellent properties that make them very useful in both the long and short term—relatively easy to place and functional for patients. Pulpdent's Spee-Dee Build-Up is a dual-cure, multipurpose core and tooth build-up resin that releases fluoride for both antibacterial and dentinal-strengthening purposes. It is radiopaque on post-treatment radiographs (not mistaken for tooth structure or decay). Once initiated, dual-cure Spee-Dee polymerizes even in the absence of light, and it is self-etching and self-adhesive to dentin. Etching and bonding agents are optional, eliminating several time-consuming and clinically sensitive steps from the build-up procedure. Most importantly, Spee-Dee's resin chemistry is moisture-tolerant in an area that often has moisture control issues. Spee-Dee cuts like dentin; rotary instruments do not shatter while creating the ideal crown preparation. The automix cartridge's angled tips offer controlled and comfortable dispensing. Spee-Dee can also be used for vital tooth buildups, recementing post-and-cores, as a permanent luting cement, base or liner, or to repair lost restorations and broken splints. Patching broken cusps and porcelain is a snap. Spee-Dee Build-Up is a one-step post-and-core build-up material that ensures a homogenous polymerized internal structure, creating the monobloc that is so highly desirable with direct restorative procedures. For more information, call (800) 343-4342 or visit the Web site pulpdent.com.
Fiber Lite
The science and art of illuminating the operative site have been advancing rapidly in recent years. Dentists, like medical surgeons, have decided that maximizing visual acuity in the work site is not only important, it is essential. Suitable lighting provides much-improved diagnosis, greatly enhanced treatment capabilities, and thus better treatment outcomes. Fiber-optic light handpieces have been the standard of care for several decades, and most dentists will not consider high-speed tooth preparation without targeted illumination of the target site. Diagnostics is more old-fashioned; the mouth mirror is positioned to catch the overhead light's best rays in order to reflect in the mouth for better visualization. The multipurpose Microlux has had many roles in the illumination and transillumination of the oral cavity and associated structures. Now, AdDent has introduced its Fiber Lite plug-in accessory. The Fiber Lite is a disposable, 1-mm light guide developed for endodontic and periodontal procedures. The Fiber Lite is thin enough to assist in the illumination of the root canal system during endodontic treatment. By placing the light guide in the gingival sulcus, tooth and root fractures can be readily identified by transillumination.
The enhanced sulcular illumination clearly locates previously invisible deep calculus and tartar, both for the dentist and hygienist. The Fiber Lite can also be used for transillumination interproximally to aid in the detection of early proximal caries in posterior teeth. The narrow width of the Fiber Lite allows it to be used in surgical procedures (among others) where bright, pinpoint illumination is required. A problem that can be visualized can be treated. The Fiber Lite makes that visual access a reality. For more information, call (203) 778-0200 or visit the Web site addent.com.
Ray 3-W LED Headlight
Yesteryear's overhead dental lights were adequate for an amalgam age. Today's resin materials, microcomponents, and aging dental providers require more light at the surgical site. Ideally, the light moves with the practitioner's head rather than originating in a remote overhead source. Headlights have been a part of the dental armamentarium for years; unfortunately, the weight of the light and batteries became rather uncomfortable as the practice day progressed. The rapidly increasing use of magnifying loupes exacerbated the problem—how to get both magnification and lighting into the same small over-the-eye space without weight and without discomfort. High Q Dental, long a provider of excellent lighting solutions, has introduced Ray, a 3-W LED headlight that proves that function and affordability are not mutually exclusive parameters. Ray's lightweight optics deliver high light intensity into the surgical field; a flip-down orange filter protects light-sensitive materials when necessary. Ray's rechargeable lithium battery pack delivers 8 hours of clinical use from the tiny, lightweight belt-clip battery pack, where it is virtually unnoticeable. The bulb is a 3-W, 50,000-hour LED unit that is likely to outlast most dentists' practices. Its intensity is variable between 2,200 and 3,200 foot-candles. Ray weighs 0.7 oz, negligible when placed on the forehead with a headband or clipped to magnifying loupes. (Adaptors to most major bands are provided). The headband is fully adjustable using top and rear knobs. Installation could not be simpler: charge the lithium battery, connect to the light, and clip it on. Turn on as necessary. Ray is usable worldwide (110V to 240V), but outlet adaptors may be needed). Ray 3-Wt LED Headlight is the bright idea for the illuminated dental practice.

The stagehand strike on Broadway wages on, forcing curtains on all but a few shows and sending the holiday tourist season into a tailspin. It blunts a tradition that started all the way back in September 12, 1866, back when things like unions and fair wages and musicals based on movies and popular ABBA songs weren't really a consideration.
At a time when the largest theaters in Manhattan were all below 14th Street, the 3,200-seat Niblo's Garden on Prince and Broadway was one of the largest and most popular. In fact, it wasn't merely a theater but an entertainment park of mid-19th century fancies. William Niblo, an upper class PT Barnum of sorts, opened his version of a showy Las Vegas hotel in 1828, with elaborate gardens, gaslight illumination shows, vivid dioramas, traveling circuses, fireworks displays, and plenty of open saloons to keep his patrons happy. A theater was included in this complex, for many years one of the most popular amusements in the city.
In 1866, a variation on the usual theatrical spectacle debuted at Niblo's that soon proved to be his most popular offering. Plays had featured popular songs in the past, and variants of operas (or rather, sung plays or 'ballad-operas') were popular. But in September, The Black Crook debuted, with odd traits at the time that have now come to typify the modern musical.
It's considered the first American musical by many scholars for three reasons: 1) it included newly written songs with previously adapted music; 2) it included a flashy chorus of leggy dancers; 3) its success spawned a slew of 'extravaganzas' that evolve right into today's modern musical productions. By most accounts, it was also, from our perspective, really, really awful.
Evokative of German melodrama, "Crook" was really just a terrible play by Charles M. Barras that Niblo manager William Wheatley had refitted with a troupe of recently unemployed French dancers from another show that had the fortune (in William's eyes) of being booked in a theater that had just burned down.
The plot was all fainting spells and sulfur smoke. Young Rodolphe is enslaved by a sorceror Hertzog, who must grant the Devil the soul of one innocent every New Years Eve. Rodolphe saves a white dove from peril which just happens to be a good witch in disguise -- Stalacta, Fairy Queen of the Golden Realm -- who rescues him and sends all the bad guys straight to Hell. Damn it, why hasnt this thing been revived? I smell Tonys!
Well, for one, if you can believe it, the musical ran five and a half hours long each night. Despite this, it was a huge success, running 263 performances and, in a proud American tradition, spawning a sequel, The White Fawn.
The key to its success wasn't the drama, but all those sexy girls in flesh colored garments and a bevy of dazzling light and shadow effects that were lavish and magical. From a review from the New York Tribune: "One by one curtains of mist ascend and drift away. Silver couches, on which fairies loll in negligent grace, ascend and descend amid a silver rain." Although I'm sure they're nothing compared to the muses of today's Broadway version of Xanadu, they must have been spectacular at the time.
And, in keeping with perspective of our current strike, according to Mark Caldwell's New York Night, the show employed 80 carpenters and "twenty gasmen" just to run the elaborate mechanics.

Oscar Forecast: Oscar Veteran Actors and Directors
When Meryl Streep took home the Best Actress award for The Iron Lady last year, some commentators called it a "lifetime achievement award," implying that she beat out the competition more due to her body of work than her performance in that film. Others have speculated that veterans are more likely to win Oscars because they are more talented than their peers – the reason they are veterans in the first place.
But does any of this actually correspond with the facts? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, is no. Despite the beliefs that veteran actors win more awards for their talent or their career achievements, veterans actually win 17% less often than relative newcomers.
Here, we will define an Oscar veteran as an actor who has received more than five nominations either in the lead or supporting category. There are currently 33 members of this exclusive club, with the newest – Denzel Washington – just added this year thanks to his sixth acting nomination for his role in Flight.
In the 84 years of Oscars (excluding this year), there have been, coincidentally, 84 acting nominations for those I have defined as Oscar veterans, counting only nominations after their first five. In these nominations, only 14 times has a veteran emerged victorious, for a rate of 16.7%. The overall average for acting nominees is 20%, since one out of five wins each category. Technically, before 1936 the number of acting nominations varied each year, but the first Oscar veteran was Norma Shearer, who did not receive her sixth nomination until 1938 for Marie Antoinette.

Oscar nominations have many of us scratching our heads this morning…
What a crazy morning. As Oscar tends to do, they delivered their annual "WTF?" but instead of them inserting their nominees, they took out the nominees. Insane. Simply insane.
My reactions to the nominees are below:
Best Picture
• Amour
• Argo
• Beasts of the Southern Wild
• Django Unchained
• Les Miserables
• Life of Pi
• Lincoln
• Silver Linings Playbook
• Zero Dark Thirty
I'm so happy I was wrong about Amour getting trumped by all the loud December openings. It's well deserved. The only surprise (and to some it isn't a surprise) is Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained making the cut here over Moonrise Kingdom, who many thought would make the cut. As we trickle down through every category, and if you already saw the Best Director lineup, this looks like a race between Lincoln, Life of Pi, and Silver Linings Playbook at this point.
Prediction – 7 for 9 (missed Amour and Django for Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Moonrise, and The Master at #10)
Predicted Winner – Lincoln
Snub – Moonrise Kingdom, The Master, The Impossible
Best Achievement in Directing
• Michael Haneke – Amour
• Ang Lee – Life of Pi
• David O. Russell – Silver Linings Playbook
• Steven Spielberg – Lincoln
• Benh Zeitlin – Beasts of the Southern Wild
I spoke about the possibility of Benh Zeitlin sneaking in for Best Director when DGA was announced and his film is a director's type of film. What's more insane is it came at the expense of three big Oscar favorites, Ben Affleck, Kathryn Bigelow, and David O. Russell. When it comes to Affleck, I discussed back in November that Oscar may not have fully forgiven him or take him seriously yet as a director to be taken seriously here. It's sad because he's delivered three solid films under his directorial belt that are worthy of citation. I'm glad Argo managed the Picture nom though but George Clooney as a Producer probably had something to do with that more than Affleck.
I can't explain why Bigelow missed. Is it the woman card? The controversy surrounding the film at the moment? Not sure at all. Tom Hooper directing a musical and missing makes sense. They Academy at large doesn't go all the way for musicals unless the Weinstein Company is pushing it or its 40 years ago. Congratulations Ang Lee, you are officially in the running to win your second Directing Oscar. Russell is in the heat of the race too. Can't believe what we [...]

"Flight" screenwriter John Gatins on Denzel Washington and his fear of flying – OSCARS
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: A major Oscar player for Paramount, Robert Zemeckis' "Flight" opened to positive reviews (76% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and a healthy weekend take of $24.9 million.
The number was incredibly steady for Zemeckis, who returned to live-action for the first time since "Cast Away," and carried under his arm a riveting performance by Denzel Washington in service of a commanding script credited to John Gatins.
Audiences might have been surprised by the depth of "Flight." Largely advertised as a plane-crash thriller – piggybacking off Zemeckis' equally gripping crash shots from "Cast Away" – the awards-friendly drama is far more interested in the moral fiber of the pilot who landed the damaged commercial airliner, Whip Whitaker (Washington), a struggling alcoholic. Look beyond Washington's career-topping turn, though, and you'll find plenty of dark material to explore in Gatins' script, which is where I started a recent conversation with the "Flight" writer. Here's John Gatins:
I love the film. It really caught me off guard, though I imagine you are hearing that from a lot of people.
I actually just read Roger Ebert's really interesting commentary on the film. He'd already given the film a rave review, which was really cool and interesting, But he's just written a really interesting piece that's an analysis of Whip's character that was incredible – really moving, really interesting. It has been nice. There are a lot of columnists and movie writers tackling thoughtful and thought-provoking pieces about the movie, which is always fun.
That's funny. I wanted to start with that, because it's always refreshing speaking with someone after their movie has come out. So often, it's before, and people aren't sure how it's going to play. The marketing campaign did an interesting job of hiding the film's true emotional intent. Are you happy with the way the picture was received? In what direction is the conversation swinging?
People's immediate reaction … I've actually spoken to a number of critics and film writers who've told me that they've seen the movie twice. On a second viewing, they start focusing on a lot of different elements. Denzel's performance is so amazing that it's the thing that really resonates with you [the first time through]. You think about him, and you think about his character. I think on a second viewing, people begin thinking about the themes of the movie – fear, and what do I still believe [...]
Denzel Washington joins the Oscar race, promotes "Flight" on Letterman
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: My immediate impulse after catching up with Robert Zemeckis' "Flight" this week was to Tweet, "Welcome to the Best Actor race, Denzel Washington."
The longer I let the movie sit, though, it seemed like a 140-character reaction to a film that attempts – and accomplishes – so many difficult emotional maneuvers was slight and diminishing. "Flight" deserves" more than that. So much more. But for the record, welcome to the race, Mr. Washington.
Zemeckis' return to live-action played the New York Film Festival earlier, and is ramping up toward its Friday release. Hurricane Sandy tried to slow down Paramount's publicity push on Monday night. Instead, Washington appeared on David Letterman's late-night talk show, which taped without an audience because of the adverse weather conditions.
Clips of Washington on Letterman are below. They're fascinating for various reasons: He's always a compelling interview; he has a tremendous character and a powerful film to promote; and there's the eerie calm of no studio audience. Watch for yourself.
"Flight" is a must-see, an Oscar contender that delivers a right-cross to its audience after a devastating (and masterfully executed) plane-crash sequence. The movie might not be what you are expecting from the trailers – it's far more concerned with the pains of alcoholism, and the moral quandaries that face a flawed hero. But it's a stellar return to live-action for the director of "Cast Away," and just might be one of the best movies you'll see this year.

OSCARS – Looking at the Best Actor Contenders
The Oscar race is beginning to formulate itself. As it stands the Academy Awards have positioned themselves to be the wildest of wild cards of the Oscar season. Since Oscar ballots are due January 3rd, the nominations will be one of many awards ceremonies coming down like wildfire.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards announce their nominee choices first beginning on December 10th. The Broadcast Film Critics Association will name their best of the year with the Critics Choice Movie Awards being announced the next day on December 11th. The Hollywood Foreign Press will follow-suit with their Golden Globe nominations on December 13th. Mark my words; those four days will likely be the most important and telling aspects of the awards season. If you start hearing the usual suspects, back-to-back and over and over, Oscar will be referring to these groups for citations for their own nominees when they're announced on January 10th.
As the New York Film Festival has officially come to a close, Ang Lee's Life of Pishowed itself as a formidable contender in categories like Best Picture and Director. The "secret" and surprise screening of Steven Spielberg's Lincolnsolidified itself as a serious threat this year. While the film will land categories like Picture, Director, and Lead Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis) without skipping a beat, co-stars Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field placed themselves firmly in their respective categories. As Paramount Pictures gears up for their awards campaign,Denzel Washington has been the talk of the town for months for his performance in Robert Zemeckis' Flight. The closing night of NYFF and the very positive words for the film will be sure to bring Denzel back to the Oscar race since his win forTraining Day (2001). In a more surprising turn of events, the film itself is good enough to be considered for other categories like Best Picture and Supporting Actor for John Goodman.

OSCARS – Denzel Washington takes 'Flight' to new heights!
Robert Zemeckis' latest film Flight starring Academy Award Winner Denzel Washington is not only thoroughly entertaining and terrifically structured, it encompasses a soul that Hollywood hasn't really delivered in quite some time. The film, that closed the New York Film Festival, is simply one of the best films of the year.
Flight tells the story of Whip Whitaker, an airline pilot that saves a plane and nearly all its passengers from a certain death. When an investigation is carried out to look into the details of the crash, Whip's troubling lifestyle begins to surface. Writer John Latins creates a dynamic and an internal narrative confrontation for viewers to become immersed in a story full of mental struggle. It's a unique and very engaging story that stands as one of season's best efforts.

"Blade Runner" Screenwriter Hampton Fancher in Talks to Pen Sequel Idea for Director Ridley Scott
HollywoodNews.com: Hampton Fancher is in talks to reunite with his "Blade Runner" director Ridley Scott to develop the idea for the original screenplay for the Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free, and Bud Yorkin produced follow up to the ground-breaking 1982 science fiction classic, it was announced by Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove.
The filmmakers are also revealing for the first time that the much-anticipated project is intended to be a sequel to the renowned original. The filmmakers would reveal only that the new story will take place some years after the first film concluded.
The three-time Oscar-nominated Scott and his "Blade Runner" collaborator Fancher originally conceived of their 1982 classic as the first in a series of films incorporating the themes and characters featured in Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", from which "Blade Runner" was adapted. Circumstances, however, took Scott into other directions and the project never advanced.
Fancher, although a writer of fiction, was known primarily as an actor at the time Scott enlisted him to adapt the Dick novel for the screen. Fancher followed his ?Blade Runner? success with the screenplays, ?The Mighty Quinn? (1989) and "The Minus Man" (1999). He has continued to write fiction throughout his career.
Scott also will produce with Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove as well as Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO's of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.
The original film, which has been singled out as the greatest science-fiction film of all time by a majority of genre publications, was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1993 and is frequently taught in university courses. In 2007, it was named the 2nd most visually influential film of all time by the Visual Effects Society.
State Kosove and Johnson: "It is a perfect opportunity to reunite Ridley with Hampton on this new project, one in fact inspired by their own personal collaboration, a classic of cinema if there ever was one."
Released by Warner Bros. almost 30 years ago, "Blade Runner" was adapted by Fancher and David Peoples from Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and directed by Scott following [...]

Vasectomy Reversal Quick Facts
- There are two types of vasectomy reversals: vasovasostomy and vasoepididymostomy.
- A vasovasostomy is usually the surgery of choice for vasectomy reversal. It involves stitching the cut ends of the vas deferens back together under microscopic control.
- A vasoepididymostomy is performed less frequently and is a more complicated procedure requiring more expertise at microsurgery. It is performed in situations where sperm is blocked from getting to the vas deferens because of excessive inflammation or scarring in the epididymis, a tubular structure located behind the testis. The vasoepididymostomy connects the vas deferens directly to the epididymis.
- Vasovasostomies usually takes between two to four hours to complete. A vasoepididymostomy can add another one to two hours to the procedure.
- The vasectomy reversal procedures are typically performed with general anesthesia with the patient going home on the same day.
- Vasectomy reversal recovery is typically rapid. Light duty work and refraining from heavy exercise and sex is recommended for the first two to three weeks.
- Possible risks or complications include postoperative pain, infection, swelling, tenderness, bruising and internal bleeding. There is also a chance of failure, in that the reconnection of the vas deferens may not take place.
- Studies of vasectomy reversal results show the return of sperm to the ejaculate in 70 to more than 90 percent of men, with increased chances if the reversal is done within the first two to three years after the vasectomy.
- After vasectomy reversal the overall chance of pregnancy ranges from 30 to 70 percent depending on the time since vasectomy.
- Vasectomy reversal is expensive (generally from $5,000 to $15,000). This surgery is usually not covered by insurance.
- Approximately two to six percent of vasectomized men ultimately seek reversal.
- Men most often desire a reversal vasectomy after remarriage, the death of a child or improved financial circumstances.

|The only way I knew how to pull onto the wall was by having that tooth chew up my left hand pointer finger when 99% of my weight was on it. Just getting off the ground and into the first stem is strenuous because of the size and orientation of the footholds. This is essentially a double overhanging dihedral with opposing foot chips that eases up with height. It really helps to be flexible and stretch the hamstrings but especially the lower back as it was tweaky on the right side for me.

Well, this is the 2nd 2ww for this TTC. So far I am doing well and not overthinking every little thing like last month. I am determined not to "waste" an HPT. I convinced myself last month of symptoms and tested with a BFN and had AF two days later. So, I think the "wasting" is out of my system. LOL, I hope!
This morning DH rubbed my belly and said he hoped good things were happening in there. Yup, me too!!
I am not temping even, just BD and see what happens. I don't even know exactly what CD it is. Let me think....maybe 16 or 17?
FX ladies! May this cycle be the one for you!

Information About Independent Living in Tacoma
Tacoma, Washington, is a mid-size port city located on Puget Sound, a complex system of estuarine waterways off the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years, the area was occupied by American Indians, mostly of the Puyallup people. A small sawmill was constructed in 1852 by a Swedish man named Nicolas Delin. What really put Tacoma on the map was its establishment as the terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad around 1864. Nicknamed the City of Destiny, Tacoma was formally incorporated on November 12, 1875. From a population of 1,098 in 1880, as of the 2010 census Tacoma had grown to 200,000. This translates to a population density of 3,865 people per square mile, slightly higher than Denver, Colorado or Houston, Texas.
The region enjoys a Mediterranean Oceanic climate. This means it is warm, but not hot, in summer; cool, but not cold, in winter and rare is the month when it does not rain. From the 1930s to the late 1990s, the city was famous for its 'Tacoma 'roma, ' a distinctive local pong caused by the local paper industry. Between the abundant evergreen trees, the constant rainfall and the comforting presence of Mt Rainier in the background, Tacoma independent living is green, pleasant and odor-free since sulfur emissions were reduced shortly before the new millennium.
Tacoma Attractions
Along with the advantages of living in a marine environment, Mt Rainier National Park is only a 90 minute drive south on Interstate 5 and State Highway No. 7. Less than an hour's drive to the west is Olympia, the state capital, and Tumwater, home of the famous Olympia Brewery until its closure in 2003. The Tacoma independent living community wants for nothing as far as shopping is concerned. Replete with malls, boutiques and shopping districts, everything you might conceivably need is right at your doorstep.
Tacoma Senior Activities
The City of Tacoma itself has two senior activity centers. These are Lighthouse Activity Center on the east side and Beacon Activity Center located in the downtown area. Free van transportation is provided to the Tacoma independent living seniors who live within the city limits. As well as participating in programs designed to support independence, improve skills, promote healthy aging and encourage community involvement among the over-50s, these centers also serve as meal sites, where healthy lunches are served Mondays through Fridays.
Tacoma Medical Facilities
Easy access to quality medical services are a critical component of Tacoma Independent Living. St Joseph Medical Center, the flagship hospital of the Franciscan Health System, is a 366-bed regional medical center and Level II trauma center. Of particular interest to seniors are the orthopedic services, heart and cancer centers and diagnostic imaging services. Doctors here are pioneering a new, easy and less painful technique in angiography. A half hour's drive north on I-5 is Seattle's University of Washington Medical Center. UW Medical Center scores well in the 2011 edition of the U.S. News & World Report publication, "America's Best Hospitals." It is also an Aetna Institute of Quality for its cardiac medical intervention and has appeared in the Honor Roll of the U.S. News since rankings began in 1990.
Tacoma Transportation
Successful Tacoma independent living depends on a well-run transportation system. The major public transport provider in Tacoma is Pierce Transit, which provides daily commuter buses to Olympia and Seattle. The ten-year transportation plan for the area includes commuter rail, light rail, high-occupancy-vehicle expressways, regional bus routes and bicycle paths. Discount fares apply for those who are over the age of 65, have a disability verifiable by a doctor or who have a valid Medicare card.
Summing Up
This is an attractive area for Tacoma independent living. The climate is pleasant and recreational facilities, shopping, senior activity centers and medical facilities are all accessible. Special discounted fares are available on public transport for those who are eligible.View Tacoma Independent Living Facilities

Cost of Independent Living in Washington
Washington is one of only seven states in the nation that does not have a personal income tax. However, it has relatively high state and local sales taxes that equate to about 8-9% depending on geographic area. The state also incurs additional taxes on gasoline, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. This is in stark contrast to neighboring Oregon, which has no sales tax, and British Columbia, Canada which has a fluctuating exchange rate and the opportunity for duty-free shopping.
Although Washington residents have the 10th highest per capita personal income in the nation ($52,403 annually in 2009), they enjoy a cost of living that is comparable or even slightly below the national average. The overall cost of living, including housing, transportation, and goods and services, is highest in the greater Puget Sound area. The cost of living is much lower in Eastern and Central Washington.
Utility costs in all areas of Washington State are also significantly lower than the national average due to the presence of the Grand Coulee Dam on Washington's Columbia River. The state is the leading producer of hydroelectric power, producing nearly 30% of the country's net electricity.View Tacoma Independent Living Facilities

Home of white supremacist raided of weapons, South Daytona police say
Published On: Mar 22 2013 11:27:09 AM EDT
Updated On: Mar 22 2013 11:27:51 AM EDT
Updated On: Mar 22 2013 11:27:51 AM EDT
The FBI raided the home of a man on Friday who police say is known as a white supremacist, confiscating 10 weapons and many boxes of ammo.
Kevin Lynch, 49, has been charged with possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana and prescription pills, according to South Daytona police.
Agents found 10 weapons and many boxes of ammo at Lynch's home on James Street. He has been under investigation for the last 8 months as part of a white supremacist group, but the group's name was not released.
Lynch was arrested in 2002 for an aggravated battery charged that was later classified as a hate crime.
