Bless Me Father Bob…..
Jan 4
In Stories at 7:53am
You know, it's a new year, and it's time to download the card, freshen up the pixels, clean the lens elements and confess all those photographic sins, which for me, really, are too numerous to count or catalog. As 2009 faded in the rear view mirror, I figured it was time to see Father Bob.
Here's what I propose. Write in about your most egregious photographic sin of the last year, decade, whatever. We'll cruise the comments and pick out the 5 best whoppers and put them up on the blog with, uh, some commentary within a couple of weeks. The 5 most colorful or unusual screw ups, missed exposures, bad calls, blown jobs, or lollapalooza mistakes….be they as simple as leaving the lens cap on, or as serious as shooting Canon:-)…we'll send an autographed copy of Hot Shoe Diaries. Determining the 5 "winners" is solely at the discretion of the management.
Now, these are sins committed with a camera in your hands, or at least nearby. If you had one of those production jobs in Vegas, and the model didn't show up, and the permits weren't valid, and the rental car battery went dead, and the client was a screamer, and you were so distracted you shot the whole day for this big movie poster on jpeg basic….and that night you decided to ease your suffering by shooting and starring in your own personal version of Hangover, well, the details of those evening endeavors, as they say, should remain in Vegas.

This Just In…..

Hot Shoe Diaries was the number one reader's pick for the arts and photography category on Amazon for 2009.
Pretty cool. I've gotten some wonderful feedback from folks who really enjoyed the book and I thank everyone for the kind words that have been sent my way. Very appreciative of the support, and thanks for letting Amazon know about it!
It's been an interesting week. There was the good news about the book, and then Lynn, my studio manager for 18 years, was going back and forth with a major multi-national who had a check for us, but had the wrong address listed. It batted around the GPO in NYC for a bit, and was returned, so thankfully, they called and got it all adjusted properly and re-sent it. (As far as Lynn's longevity with me is concerned, rest assured I am extremely appreciative. I just called Rome, and tried to put her name on the list for beatification as a saint. They asked, well, has she performed any miracles? I said, "Are you kidding me? We're still in business!" The line went dead. Maybe I shoulda emailed?)
We anxiously awaited the check. This could be it! What a great week! First the Amazon rating, and now, a check! The one that puts us over the top! No more worries! Livin' large. Next trip to LA, book me the Walter Iooss memorial suite at Shutters on the Beach!
It showed up, and frankly, it was disappointing.
Eighty two cents? Jeez. Undaunted, I went into a convenience store and walked up to the very nice lady at the counter and asked if there was anything in the store I could buy for .82 cents.
She looked at me hard, and didn't even have to say, "Are ya stupid, or just plain crazy?"
I assured her I was not, and that I knew it was a little weird, but my budget limit was eighty two cents.
She tried to be helpful, but was having a hard time thinking of stuff. I suggested a box of Tic Tacs but no way. Tic Tacs are like, around $1.55 most places, except Kennedy Airport, where they are $17.26. The little boxes generally have 36 individual tic tacs, which makes them about 4.3 cents per, so I could have converted my check into 19 of those minty little guys, but they don't sell them individually.
Newspaper? Not even close. Refrigerator magnet? I got the look again. I got outta the store, lest I discovered hassling the clerk early in the morning might lead me to discover eighty two cents could possibly purchase a big noise and a used shotgun shell.
But hey, things are okay. I just got notification from Delta that I'm in the million miler club. Million miles, just on Delta. Sheesh. Evidence, perhaps, of a life gone wrong? Dunno. But it worked out this morning. On a non-refundable coach class ticket, I got an upgrade to first! Way cool. I was thinking on it, you know, anticipating the delights of the first class cabin. Eggs Benedict? A Mimosa? Pigs in a blanket? A foot rub? An exclusive first ever in the air viewing of "This Is It"?
Not quite.
Breakfast. Oh, well. More tk….
Early on a Monday Morning….
Sep 14
In Stories at 1:54pm
Monday always comes early, right? Been having zero dark thirty Monday calls since I picked up a camera. Today, 3am. Out the door at 3:45. Start of the week. Cab ride through dark streets to another plane. Not even the sanit trucks are out. Upside? No getting stuck behind school buses.
Years ago, it was simpler and more complicated all at once. I lived in the city and, like a lot of shooters, used a car service to get to the airport. Mine, believe it or not, was called Ding-a-Ling. Swear it's true. It being the time of magazines having more than a couple nickels to rub together, photogs would routinely travel heavy—15, 20 cases of stuff—all on the airline. Hence there were times I would order up two or three Ding-a-Lings. The assistant and I would load and roll, a little Ding-a-Ling motorcade to the airport.
Airlines back then would grant a shooter a media rate for excess bags without a Papal fiat. You could get all your stuff on board for about $25 a pop. If you knew the skycaps, and I did, a quick Benjamin would make all your bags disappear into the hold of the plane, and no one would bat an eye. Those days, wisely, are gone.
In addition to the skycaps, I of course got to know the drivers, and there was one guy who I seemed fated to ride with more than others. He drove #22. He was an older gentleman from Queens who was born to be a NY cabbie. He had a big time NY accent and an even bigger inquisitive nature, not to mention the gift of gab. After a few rides he knew if you were up or down, if the baby had a fever, what you did on vacation, if things were going well at the office, and if you got along with your mother-in-law.
Which I did. She's an ex-mom in law now, but she's a nice person who used to visit on the weekends when my oldest, who's about to be 24, was just a baby. She lived in Brooklyn, with her other daughter, who we can call Mary, along with Mary's husband and their two young boys.
It was a Canarsie house with lots of frenetic Brooklyn personality, so in other words, it was mayhem. The boys were small, but growing like weeds, as boys do, and were bouncing off walls, as boys do. Given the challenges and vicissitudes of modern life, grandma found herself being mom a good deal of the time. Cooking and cleaning and homework and all the nuttiness of raising kids was back on her plate. She couldn't just spoil 'em and give 'em back at the end of the day. There was always talk about everybody moving out and giving grandma back her house, peace and quiet, but it didn't happen. Despite her energy, she was really wearing thin.
After visiting one weekend, she got good old #22 to go back to Canarsie, a pretty long cab ride. Given the gregarious nature of the occupants I have to imagine the conversation was lively.
And that very Monday, I had one of those early calls. I threw my stuff in the trunk, and, still in my morning ether, settled into the back seat of, you guessed it, #22. I was barely conscious, 'cause Caity, at the tender age of six months, had decided sleep was boring.
My friend the driver twisted in his seat, pulled his glasses down to the end of his nose, and looked at me with world weary, knowing, New York eyes. He didn't say hello or good morning. He arched his brows and brought his finger up up by his face, the way one does when one is about to utter an undisputable, immutable, truth. "Mary should move out! It's not fair to your mother-in-law!"
In so many ways, New York is a small town…..
Photog of the Future?
Sep 8
In Friends, history, Stories at 9:04am
I like it. I've certainly lost weight, and have the lean, mean look required for success in the intensely competitive arena of the photographic marketplace nowadays. Strong, elongated, prehensile fingers, and at first glance, it would seem, opposable thumbs which are always useful. This of course was conjured for me by the irrepressible Mr. Hobby of Strobist, who recently mentioned an article on the HSD in this month's Digital Photo Pro. He's done things like this before- taking my face and placing it in the movie poster for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
This is great. David and I spoke last week and I told him such ramblings fit perfectly with two goals I have for the rest of my career: A) Never take myself particularly seriously; and B) Have fun.
Not the first time David and I have gotten a touch, well, goofy, witness our Dubai antics (Shot by the equally goofy Bobbi Lane)…..
Of course this type of activity–a creative imagination plus a bent sense of humor plus knowledge of Photoshop plus access to the internet does create a climate the nuns used to warn us about. You know, "idle minds," etc. We were urged to go to confession for having an idle mind, which, when you are talking about the mind of a 10 or 12 year old boy, is never particularly, you know, idle. I never really feared confession, to be honest about it, 'cause the priests I would be confessing to back in the day seemed to be in such a perpetually booze fueled state of serenity that virtually nothing you could say to them in the confessional was overly troubling to them, and they would mete out relatively light penances. You would, you know, confess all sorts of goings on in the typically X-rated big top of the youthful male mind, and they would come back with a gin fumed mandate to say five Our Fathers.
Five Our Fathers seemed cheap admission to the realm of my imagination, truth be told. Kinda like paying a nickel to go to a particularly colorful peep show.
I digress. What the ever prescient DH has actually construed with the Gollum idea above is, I think, nothing less than the….Photog of the Future. Hear me out.
Obviously, lean and mean, as I have noted. Doesn't eat much. Could probably subsist on a diet of rainwater and bark. Remember in the movie, he would jump into a stream, grab a fish, and just start eating it raw? So, imagine the Gollum photog gets booked into a hotel that has one of those aquarium displays with over-sized koi in some algae infested waterway near the reception desk. No bills for dinner! ( I've never completely figured out the indoor lagoon thing in lobbies. Why would you want to sit and have coffee and a bagel next to an under tended, foul smelling water display invariably complete with a drizzly waterfall effect that makes it sound for all the world like your table is right next to the urinals in the men's room?) No matter. This raw fish meal practice would thrill the accountants at a place like Time Warner, 'cause it would cut T&E substantially. Not that it has gone up all that much. They haven't raised the per diem there (last time I checked) since the 80's, so you are still supposed to spend something like five bucks for breakfast, twelve for lunch and hoo boy, 25 balloons for dinner. Get crazy! This of course means that if you go to Denny's for breakfast and have a French Slam and a large OJ, you're on your own dime for eats for the rest of the day. Your per diem is just as burnt as the toast.
Gollum knew the secret passageway into Mordor, remember? That means the Gollum photog would be most likely devious enough to slide, unaccredited, into virtually any presidential tight pool, at least for a few frames.
Clothing. Uh, minimal, obviously. The means no special wardrobe to be purchased even for extreme conditions, and certainly no dry cleaning bills. This type of expense has always nettled the accountants. The legendary story that rattles the hallways of the Geographic is of a shooter who was assigned to an extremely cold location and promptly went out and expensed a hugely costly fur coat. The powers that be of course bounced that piece of paperwork back to the wayward journalist. It was turned in again a week later, with the exact same total and a note that read simply…."Find the coat."
That brazen display of contempt for the accounting process of course is mild by comparison to that of the China correspondent for Nat Geo circa the 40's. I cannot confirm this, but legend has it this particular scribe received a telex from home base stating, "Mission accomplished, return to HQ." To which he replied, "Confirm. Can I bring my junk?" To which home base replied in the affirmative. Several months later, an ocean going freighter with a full blown Chinese junk strapped to the deck steamed into the Washington ship basin and the individual in question lived on it for several years.
I never had the benefit of working in those days of shenanigans and largesse. When I came along, the accountants were slowly, Gollum-like, hissing in the ears of the powerful, and loopy, frivolous, "gifts for natives" expense accounting (an actual category in the old Geographic daily log books) was rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Closest I came to a whopper was during the first launch and landing of the space shuttle. Hank Morgan, David Strick and I were out in the vast nothingness of Edwards AFB, trying to figure out which corner of the sky the shuttle was gonna drop out of. Hank being Hank, said something endearing like, "So long, sucker," and brought the hammer down on his rental. I plunged after him, which was a mistake, cause given the dust trail he was churning at 100 plus mph I could see absolutely nothing. But I figured as long as it was dust, it would be okay. If the cloud turned to flames, then chances are Hank met with something truly unfortunate, and I should slow down.
A tremendous crack reported from the undercarriage of the car, and while it still drove well enough, I noticed my gas level was heading south as fast as a dropped rock. Much perhaps, like the rock I had just run over, which plowed a canal in the gas tank wide enough push a supertanker through. Holy shit. David and I started pulling gear outta the trunk like crazy, thinking that a vehicle with a hot engine in the desert sun in the middle of a lake of gas had disaster stamped all over it. I called the car rental outfit and complained that their vehicle had malfunctioned and hadda get towed from somewhere in a couple thousand square miles of desert. They called me two days later, and hadn't yet been able to find it. Yikes.
I started thinking then about how I could creatively use my expense account to incrementally cover the cost of a Buick Regal. You know, a few high priced dinners, lots of Manhattan cab rides, a camera repair or two…..Sheesh. They did find it, thankfully. But you know, if it was the Gollum photog, there would have been no rental car needed. Food for thought….more tk.
The blog's been a touch erratic. (Okay, remember who writes it.) But definitely having ups and downs. Truth is, I've been completely knackered of late. It's been harder than usual for my pinball machine of a brain to make it to the keyboard. Fatigued. Get up in the morning, and feel like going back to bed–right away.
Plus my legs have been killing me. No surprise there. Trust me, after being a photog for 30 odd years, there's not too much on my body that don't hurt. My legs have taken the biggest beating. When I started in this game, it was standard operating procedure to use a camera bag (Domke was the way to go) and walk, run, adjust, bend, climb, scurry, jump, sing and dance all day long with a 40 pound anchor on your shoulder. This is the reason the x-rays of lots of photogs spines look like the S curves at LeMans.
My back, being of Irish descent, remains intact, thankfully. But the knees and ankles–yikes. I think about the offensive linemen in the NFL, the big guys. They pretty much shoot their lower extremities to hell and back in the course of a 5-10 year career. A fast cha-cha to Limpville. For photogs, it's more of a slow bump and grind. You basically throw your knees in a blender and hit stir instead of liquefy. It takes longer, but the end result is the same. After an average Olympics, for example, for about a week I'll unfold out of bed like an unwieldy, collapsible card table. When I was shooting the Sydney Games, for instance, my first few steps of every day sounded like I was walking on bubble wrap.
But lately, with both the pain and the fatigue meter spiking, my wonderful wife, Annie, blessedly (and sternly) greeted me at the door and turned my sorry ass around and pointed it at the doctor's office. Pop diagnosis? Lyme disease. I pretty much concur. Had a bout of it before.
First got it in Nashville, on assignment for SI. I was shooting Mike Reid, former pro football player turned singer-songwriter, and lighting his house from the outside, traipsing my lights around his garden.
Then shot in a local theater….
Noticed at the end of the day I had picked up a tick. Hmmm. Not much I could do about it, cause my next stop was Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost tip of the continental United States, and one of the true garden spots of all time. My ultimate destination was Cooper Island, a tiny stretch of ice and sand a bit off the off the North Coast. I was shooting a cover for the New York Times Sunday magazine, and was going there to profile George Divokey, an ornithologist who had been studying a colony of birds on Cooper for over 20 years. His copious notebooks of their behavior had become an empirical, indisputable record of bird biology to be sure, but additionally, very significantly, global warming.
Had to helicopter out there due to the ice conditions, and the weather had us socked in for two days. Welcome to Barrow.
I was staying in a shack of a hotel, feeling worse and worse, and by the time I got choppered out (small bird, had to lash all my gear onto stretcher boards out on the skids) I was running about 103 fever or so. No source of heat on the island, except the cooking stove. Had a pup tent, out there shimmering around in the icy wind. I crawled into my sleeping bag and started dosing myself with antibiotics I had in my old Nat Geo medicine kit.
It's all a little fuzzy now, but I basically spent two days sleeping and taking doxycycline. Poor George thought the magazine had really sent a deadbeat. Out there they give you a PLB (personal locator beacon) which, if you punch the button, means the Coast Guard rescue choppers are on the way. I remember looking at that thing. The magazine was paying me the princely sum of $350 bucks a day to shoot this, and I thought, ya know, I don't wanna die out here. Had all sorts of fever induced imaginings. Like my remains would be eaten, along with my Kodachrome, by a polar bear and crapped out on the tundra, and then found many years later by a team from the National Geographic, and somehow the pictures would be published, albeit in a different magazine.
Spent 8 days out there with George, his research assistant Tamara Enz, call sign Tango Echo, and the birds.
George is a great guy, very dedicated scientist. He did enjoy the fact that when I returned to life, I was very hungry, and started cooking up a whole bunch of Dinty Moore stuff with red pepper and anything else spicy I could find in the food locker. Also, the article did him some good, cause he ended up on the Letterman Show of all places, which had to help his fund raising. We're still in touch, off and on.
But the antibiotics are kicking in! Feel better today than I have in two weeks, and I'm driving everybody in the studio nuts. I think they're gonna hide my prescription. Got some energy back, thanks to my doc, and my regular breakfast of cheerios, skim milk, a banana, a couple of those little red sudafeds, and 8 cups of Cafe' Bustelo.
Good thing too, cause there's a bunch of stuff in the pipe. On a plane tonight to Italy. Then, in couple weeks, a commercial gig I be looking forward to. Great folks, fun to work for. Got a Geographic job cooking now, and a story coming out in the June issue. More on that stuff, as they say, tk….

Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Six in 10 Greeks say elections should be held by Feb. 19, a date tentatively set during government-formation talks last month, an opinion poll showed.
Of the 2,000 people questioned Dec. 1-8 by MRB, 26.7 percent said elections should be held right away while 34 percent said they should happen by Feb. 19. The poll was published on the website of Proto Thema newspaper today.
Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos's interim government hasn't set a date for elections and will adopt more fiscal measures if it's in the country's best interest, Minister of State George Stavropoulos told reporters yesterday.
Papademos, appointed on Nov. 11 as head of a government backed by three of the five parliamentary parties, is trying to meet a three-month deadline to secure loans under a 130 billion- euro ($169 billion) bailout for Greece agreed to by European Union leaders on Oct. 26.
More than half of those polled, 55.1 percent, had a negative opinion of the interim government while 60.1 percent said it would fail to meet its goals.
If an election were held now, the Pasok party of former Prime Minister George Papandreou would garner the support of 15.1 percent of likely voters while the New Democracy Party, led by Antonis Samaras, would be the choice of 26 percent. The nationalist Laos party, which is also part of the interim government along with Pasok and New Democracy, was backed by 6.2 percent.
The Communist Party of Greece would receive 11.6 percent of the vote and the Coalition of the Radical Left, or Syriza, would get 7.4 percent, the poll suggested. Both Syriza and the Communist Party declined to join the interim government. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.1 percentage points.

Conforce Time Dilation EP
- Words: Steve Kerr
- Label: Delsin
- XLR8R Rating: 7.5/10
Ultra-proficient Dutchman Boris Bunnik has been focusing on his electro-themed Versalife project lately, and he's set to release its debut LP in March. It's his more techno-oriented Conforce moniker that's brought him more accolades, however. Two albums strong at this point, Bunnik isn't about to let the project fall by the wayside. Time Dilation, recorded for occasional home Delsin, finds him continuing to push Conforce's steely muscularity.
That said, Conforce records are often more flexible than they're given credit for. On recent releases, particularly 2011's Escapism album, Bunnik dropped his tempos to a more narcotic pace, and widened their emotional pull with a range of gleaming synthetic motifs. Time Dilation, by contrast, is a mostly monochrome set of tracks. "Nomad" reminds of a busier Milton Bradley in its tripping drums and maze of delay trails, which are underscored by plume-like atmospherics, smothered organ, and malignant drones. On "Receiver," Bunnik continues the sense of austerity with a stealthy, hydraulic rhythm, squashing gusty pads and frantic bleeps in the process. On the flip, "Last Anthem" opens a rugged, stomping charge, which is softened by the entrance of forlorn, slow-moving pads. After a substantial build-up, the floodgates open and the track moves into a series of even more furious sections, again broken up by insertions of pads and drilling synths. "Embrace" closes the record on a sluggish tack, as its stumbling drums are buffered by a low-slung bassline and wet, dubbed-out chords. In spite of the looseness of Bunnik's initial arrangement, an odd tension arises as those elements are consumed by unnerving ambience; one waits for the rhythm to regain strength, but it just winds tighter until the end. Although it's less floor-friendly than the other three tracks, it showcases the subtle dynamism that's made Bunnik such a reliable operator.

New Country House with a Rustic Past
Liz and Ed Flynn bought a heavenly slice of Vermont lakefront with a teardown house. Instead of completely rewriting history, they designed a home that sticks to the old places footprint, repurposing its charms.
By Brooks Peters
Refurbish Old Finds
The furnishings constitute a conscientious recycling effort. The vanity in the master bedroom was passed down from Lizs grandmother; the dining table is fashioned from repurposed barn wood. Liz even saved items from the original cabin, including the pair of navigational charts framed and hung in the dining room. She also saved a slew of 50s-era board games, like Sorry! and Parcheesi.

Hartson resigns as Wales assistant coach
John Hartson has resigned as Wales assistant coach with immediate effect, the Welsh FA has confirmed.
The ex-international striker served under Chris Coleman during the recent World Cup qualifying campaign, and has cited other commitments as a reason why he cannot continue in the role.
– John Hartson, stepping down.
I have enjoyed every moment of my time with Wales. Everyone knows how passionate I am about my country.
The work I now do as a pundit for the BBC is taking up more and more of my time.
With another child on the way I need to spend some time with my growing family. I have learnt a lot working with Chris (Coleman), Kit (Symons) and Osian (Roberts).
I wish them and the players all the best for the future and really hope they qualify for the UEFA European Championships in 2016.

Fifty years after Hannah Arendt examined the dynamics of conformity in her seminal account of the Eichmann trial, Beautiful Souls explores the flipside of the banality of evil, mapping out what impels ordinary people to defy the sway of authority and convention.
Eyal Press is an author and journalist based in New York. His work has appeared in the New York Review of Books, the New York Times magazine, the Nation, the Raritan Review and numerous other publications. He is the author of Absolute Convictions: My Father, a City, and the Conflict That Divided America. A 2011 Schwartz Fellow at the New America Foundation, he is also a past recipient of the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism. Sean Runnette, a multiple AudioFile Earphones Award winner, has produced several Audie Award–winning audiobooks. He is a member of the American Repertory Theater company and has toured internationally with Mabou Mines, an avant-garde theater company. Sean's television and film appearances include Two If by Sea, Copland, Sex and the City, Law & Order, Third Watch, and lots and lots of commercials, for which he apologizes.
"This thought-provoking and moving narrative highlights the different ways people react to moral quandaries and, at its best, makes us question the role our own passivity or acquiescence plays in allowing unconscionable acts to happen on our watch." ---Publishers Weekly Starred Review

We had a lovely room overlooking Big Ben and Parliament. The view was so wonderful, the nights were spectacular watching the boats and the river lights. The weather was warm and balmy and the walks along the river embankment were spectacular. The hotel is in a perfect location, the staff superb and the service top notch. I shall return again soon.The County Hall Marriot is a perfect holiday hotel. - Marilynn
Once entering the hotel, we felt welcome greeted by friendly,smiling
faces, from the staffs. As well as, from the guests.
Our room was great; trendy, clean and comfortable.
I also had a Spa treatment, at the hotel. Once entering the Spa, the staff at reception were warm and welcoming. Beautician was friendly and shared great knowledge on the products and treatment given at the Spa.

Fantastic location, right next to the eye so walking distance to Westminster, Trafalgar Square etc. Good restaurant on site but many places to eat (Italian, sushi, Mediterranean) across a range of prices right opposite hotel, plus a small supermarket. Family room was actually big enough for a family. 3 proper beds (2 singles and a double). 4 mugs in the room and plenty of towels. Comfortable beds with a choice of pillows. Excellent 'all you can eat' breakfast, all fresh with lots of choices. Sp - Anonymous
The location was fantastic. Easy walking to Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, 10 Downing Street, London Eye. There was a Starbucks across the square which was great for morning coffees and a good Italian restaurant as well. The waterloo underground and train station were close by for all other transport. The rooms were very clean, and the staff very helpful with directions and booking a taxi for our trip to the airport. We had 2 triple rooms on the 10th floor with our daughters - Anonymous
The hotel was spotless, staff very attentive and polite. Food was also of a high standard in the blue boar restaurant. We went for my 50th birthday and they upgraded the room and also laid on complimentary fruit, chocolates and a bottle of champagne. Much appreciated and went down well. This hotel is perfect for the sightseeing tourist as 5 minute walk from westminister or Buckingham palace with easy access to tube and shopping. Loved it and will go back. - Anonymous
Tudo foi ótimo. Pudemos contar com um funcionário do Hotel Park Plaza County Hall, Alex Biaggio, Brasileiro, extremamente educado e prestativo, que nos deu todas as dicas sobre o melhor de Londres. Aproveito a oportunidade para agradece-lo por escrito. - Carlos
The facilities were superb, the gym is the best we have experienced in London, the breakfast buffet was an excellent selection. The room design was good. We come to London a lot and we will definitely be booking here again - Anonymous
The Thistle Royal Horseguards was excellent value for money. It was extremely central to everything in London. All the main attractions are just a few minutes walk away. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent. Very impressed and would highly recommend to others. - Matthew
Great location for sight-seeing, welcoming comfortable attractive Hotel, family-friendly, my 7 year old says 'it's really tidy and nice'. V good cocktail bar and restaurant at Hotel, 'Caxton Grill'. We ate there with 2 children. Accommodating, great food but expensive. Compared to other London Hotels the rooms were of a good size (for London). - Anonymous
Courtesy and helpfulness shown by all the staff. - Melva
Fantastic location. Doesn't need to be self catering though, so much to do close by I only spent 4 hours in hotel. Day staff were very accommodating. At the end of the day, it's a student building for most of the term, It was quiet, clean with a great view over london ( the back view is the scene from the end of sky fall where James Bond is on the roof) I would happily stay here again. I would rate this a good place to stay if on a budget and you are more interested in London than - Anonymous
It was a quiet and clean apartment in a great location. It was easy to walk to almost all the tourist attractions. There were several pubs nearby that had great food. The staff were available and helpful, particularly one lady who helped us a lot when we were expecting some tickets delivered. (I wish I remembered her name) We would stay here again. - Anonymous

Exuma Powerboat Adventure
Special Offer
Book and save 20% compared to another travel site
Leaving the hustle-bustle of Nassau behind, take a high-powered cruise to your own private island in the Exuma chain. You'll ride a powerboat to Allens Cay to feed endangered iguanas then take an exhilarating, high-speed run to your private Bahamas island, Ship Channel Cay.
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
- Snorkel gear included
- Travel by boat and see the sights from the water
- Lunch included
The tiny island is only two miles long and half a mile wide (around 3 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide), with spectacular views in every direction. You'll have plenty of time to explore the island, or just kick back on the golden beaches.
If you feel like snorkeling, there is an amazing drift snorkel just a short distance from the shoreline. You can take a guided snorkel over the myriad corals and watch tiny fish feeding in the untouched, vibrantly colored reefs. Or perhaps you'd like to try your hand at feeding local stingrays and sharks!
Grab a drink from the island bar, then sit down to a banquet of delicious freshly caught island grouper, served with fresh salads, tasty breads, chargrilled steak, tropical fruit platters, chips, dips and other delights. The fully stocked bar (included) has something for every taste, and will keep you refreshed!
After lunch, take a nature tour of the island with guides who will entertain you with colorful tales from the bush. Or take a romantic walk by the water's edge or go for a refreshing dip in the cool, turquoise water. Numerous decks provide a place to sit, chat or just watch the world go by while sipping a cool drink under a giant umbrella.
Sadly, all too soon the time will come to leave Ship Channel Cay for Nassau town, but don't worry, the memories will last a lifetime!

This tour was amazing!
Reviewed by: Deborah P, August 2014
I really enjoyed this tour. The boat ride out to the Exuma Islands was very nice (the powerboat made it quick and breezy). Feeding the iguanas was fun and definitely a new experience. Once we got to Ship Channel Cay, we had activities to do the entire time (if you chose to do so). Feeding the stringrays was very cool and the shark wrangling was something you don't see everyday. It was amazing that we then snorkeled in the "shark waters" but I felt like the staff was in control the entire time. The only thing I didn't enjoy was walking on the rocky beach to get back after snorkeling. Lunch was really good and fresh and the conch salad was delicious. The Captain and crew were very welcoming and professional. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun day. It's a nice break from the resorts of Nassau/Paradise Island.

Mere days after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad hit the American airwaves to claim his innocence in his country's recent deadly crackdowns on protesters calling for regime change, his opposition in the volatile city of Homs was told of an upcoming massacre if it didn't stop demonstrating in three days. —KA
The Telegraph:
On Friday, the security forces tried to curb the unrest by issuing an explicit threat. "We have been given 72 hours to stop protesting, or they are going to hit us hard," said an opposition activist in Homs going by the name Abu Rami.
Nonetheless, demonstrations swept across the city after prayers. People left the mosques and filled the streets, chanting "Syria wants freedom" and "Bashar is an enemy of humanity".
Witnesses said the security forces responded with violence, firing live rounds at some crowds. By last night, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based group, estimated that up to ten people had been killed in Homs.
Abu Rami said the security forces were "going mad in Homs", adding: "They are shooting everything, especially at people going outside from the mosques."

Skinner Blend Polymer Pendant

The Skinner Blend Polymer Pendant project from Jenny Barnett Rohrs for Consumer Crafts is perfect for those of you who love making polymer clay jewelry. It's a super simple project that will give you that perfect pendant to match every outfit!
- Jill MacKay "Swirl" pendant with rhinestones in your choice of gold or silver JMC0351
- Coordinating 7mm jump ring 1880-99 or 1881-10
- 2 Blocks Sculpey polymer clay, pearl or white and orange (or desired colors) PFM1500
- Pasta machine 97340
- Polymer clay blade or sharp knife dedicated to polymer clay
- Pin or small awl
- Slice 1/2 inch chunks from your blocks of clay. Condition the clay individually by kneading with your hands or running through the pasta machine 10-15 times.
- Using the pasta machine, roll your clays individually into sheets about 4 inches by 5 inches. Cut each at an angle as shown in the picture below.
- Gently "smoosh" together the pieces, then fold the clay from the bottom edge to kiss the top edge. The most important thing to remember is that light stays on light, and dark stays on dark.
- Now, using the pasta machine, run it through the rollers. Always feed it into the pasta machine at the fold. Then, folding bottom to top, repeat another 5 times.
- Keep folding bottom to top and running it through the machine until the colors blend and you get a smooth gradient. Make sure your finished clay sheet is at least 1/8" thick.
- Remove the jump ring from the pendant and discard. Lay your pendant on top of the clay sheet, and trim all the way around using a craft knife or tissue blade.
- Using a pin, poke a hole through the place where the jump ring attaches and go through the clay. Place your pendant on a tile or scrap piece of white cardstock and bake according to manufacturer's directions. (HINT: Tent the piece with foil to avoid scorching.) Remove from oven and let cool completely. Add a 7mm jump ring and your piece is ready to wear on your favorite chain!

Shaadi Pride
Rashmi & Anil
(01 July 2003)
I believe that marriages are made in heaven and we only need a medium that lets two people, who are anyways destined to be together, meet. Like in "Bhagwat GITA", when Lord Krishna told warrier Arjuna that "You are just nimit-matra, so just work and I will create medium/results for you".
We experienced this first hand and our "finding our destiny" goes like this;
I (ANIL KUMAR) was on an assignment to IBM NY USA staying in New Jersey City. I came to US on August of 2002 and started working like a diligent IT nerd. But here is a catch,
I had been thinking about getting married for past six months and explored the net and found out that Shaadi.com has very good reach as well as success stories
. One fine lucky day I made my registration (profile id=adhyani) in Shaadi.com.
On D-DAY, 11 Sept 2002 I made a search and there she was, any guesses who "she" in the previous statement is? ;-)). Well you guessed it right! She is Rashmi Singh, (profile id=looking02). I wrote to her that I am interested in talking to her and I got a positive reply from her. We started talking and have never looked back from that day.
We started in standard way, starting with e-mail and then that graduated to calling each other. It seems crazy, we use to talk till late mornings, and sleepy eyed go to our respective jobs next day. We felt a very strong connection and felt really comfortable with each other. We decided we needed to meet. Rashmi has two wonderful kids and we decided that the kids also needed to know me. So one weekend I flew to Arizona and stayed with them for the weekend. The kids really liked me; Rashmi and I decided that we want to pursue this more further. I wanted to be a "full-time" father to my kids :-))
But my job (knowledge transfer phase) with my clients was over in USA and I had to report back to IBM India and for that I traveled back to India on 11 October 2002. I was lucky to be living in an IT connected city like Bangalore. As apart from calling each other through phone we were also using audio and video chat and talked almost every day.
With the time passing the mutual feeling of ours grew and she came to India to meet me in December. Her parents are in Bhiali so she stayed with her folks in Bhilai and I traveled from Bangalore to meet her. I was so scared to meet her parents, but they also were lovely like her. Her sisters also came to meet her and I was fortunate enough to meet them there and get vetted by all of them. We all were ecsatic to see each other. I remember she and I talked for hours, it seemed liked we didn't pause at all. I have never felt so complete with anyone in my life. It is then we decided that we want to be together for our lives. I proposed to Rashmi and she accepted and we got engaged. She had to go back to US and we decided to file for the fiancé-visa and we hope as soon as possible we can reunite with each other, hold each other's hand and live ever happily ever after... We haven't set a date yet but plan on getting married as soon as I am in U.S.
Rashmi & Anil
Shaadi.com Team congratulates Rashmi & Anil. We wish you both a happy future.

13. New Mexico State
WAC champion (24-10)
Takes last shot: Daniel Mullings, a Canadian point guard, is hot at the right time, given his 10-for-14 shooting effort vs. Idaho in the WAC tournament.
Best, worst: Beat Southern Miss, 68-60. Lost to UT-Arlington, 68-47
Outlook: A nothing-special team that went 6-6 in nonconference play, the Aggies benefitted when the top two teams got upset early in the conference tournament.
14. Valparaiso
Horizon League champion (26-7)
Takes last shot: Ryan Broekhoff, a 6-foot-7 senior forward from Australia, leads the Crusaders in scoring and stands as one of the best shooters in the land (46 percent field goal percentage and 43 percent from beyond the arc).
Best, worst: Beat Detroit, 89-88. Lost to Loyola (Ill.), 63-54.
Outlook: Led by coach Bryce Drew, famous for his 1998 NCAA Tournament buzzer beater replayed every March, Valparaiso returns to the tournament for the first time since 2004 and with plenty of experience.
15. Albany
American East champion (24-10)

Jennifer Hudson
The soundtrack for the last week in TV — and virtually every other medium — was provided by the late and lavishly lamented Whitney Houston. Her sudden, untimely death on the eve of the Grammys helped boost that annual spectacular to its highest ratings since the peak of the Thriller furor (a statistic reminding us of the equally resounding loss of Michael Jackson in 2009). LL Cool J, the Grammys' engaging host, opened the show with a prayer — when's the last time that happened? — as the proceedings took on the feel of a celebration and memorial, when they weren't busy crowning Adele the new Queen of Pop. (And how much fun was she on 60 Minutes?)
[SPOILER ALERT: The following story reveals major plot points from the Feb. 15 episode of Revenge. Read at your own risk!]

Some thoughts on a few of the shows that got 2012 off to a (mostly) promising start. Which means I've already forgotten that ABC's grotesquely unfunny Work It exists — and if you thought that was bad, wait until you see (or better yet, don't) next week's comedy disasters: CBS' offensively stereotypical Rob and NBC's rancid hangover of a dud Are You There, Chelsea? But for now, let's accentuate the (mostly) positive.

Hot In Cleveland
Unless you're watching the Orange Bowl on ESPN, tonight's best bets are strictly comedy. (And yes, that includes Revenge. More on that in a few.)
It somehow seems fitting that when TV Land's Hot in Cleveland (10/9c) looks back at how it all began for Melanie, Joy and Victoria, we're thrust into an '80s time warp, because if there was ever a show that felt like an artifact from a simpler, sillier time, it's this one. Betty White gets the set-up: "How did you guys meet, anyway?" Elka asks to kill time outside a stadium restroom. "If there were a TV in view, I wouldn't [care]," she barks, self-reflexively acknowledging what a clichéd storyline this is.
Emily VanCamp and Gabriel Mann
As the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold... but for crazy Tyler (Ashton Holmes), it's best served at a clam bake.
Revenge's seedy and power-driven Tyler will hope to get his due when he holds the Graysons and Emily (Emily VanCamp) at gunpoint at Daniel's birthday party in the midseason return of ABC's new hit drama. Will he succeed in getting what he wants? Find out by watching the first nine minutes of Revenge's return, which includes a sweet reconciliation between Nolan (Gabriel Mann) and Emily. (And the Nolan-Emily 'shippers go wild!)

Emily VanCamp
ABC's Revenge has certainly lived up to its title.
Hardened Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) has already taken down three adversaries who were involved in the wrongful conviction of her father. But as the girl once known as Amanda will soon find out, keeping secrets in the Hamptons is no easy feat.
Fall TV: See the 17 stars to keep your eyes on this year
TVGuide.com chatted with VanCamp on the many layers of revenge in the coming episodes, including the show straying from the revenge-of-the-week story line. Plus: How far will Emily go on her quest for, well, revenge?

Over the course of its first season, Nikita has become a show about loss and difficult choices as much as espionage and violence. It's no surprise then that one of the principal characters meets a Division-related demise on Thursday's finale (9/8c on the CW).
"Yes, someone dies," Lyndsy Fonseca confirms to TVGuide.com. "Everything that happens in the finale is not just for the sake of killing people or for the sake of a good storyline. Stuff has been kind of brewing for a long time, and I think it's going to be really emotional."
Maggie Q and Shane West
On Thursday's episode of Nikita, Michael interferes with rookie agent Alex's budding romance to teach her an important lesson about working at Division: Love and black ops don't mix.
"Love is part of the past," Shane West tells TVGuide.com. "Michael had a wife, a daughter, a job in the Navy. All of that was taken away from him by someone he thought was his best friend. He joined Division to get revenge and take out bad guys along the way. That's why he's dark, why people ask if Michael could...

Lie to Me
Lie to Me's Season 3 finale dares to ask the question: What if Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had killed one of his closest friends and partners?VIDEO: Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Zuckerberg finally meet on Saturday Night LiveTruthfully, the episode has nothing to do with Facebook, but you can't help but notice the parallels between it and the Oscar-nominated film, The Social Network, which explores the complicated personal and legal entanglements behind the founding of the most popular website on the Internet. In Lie to Me's tale, Nikita's Ashton Holmes plays Zach Morstein, the wunderkind co-creator of a popular dating application who Dr. Lightman (Tim Roth) fingers as the lead suspect in the murder of Zach's best friend and company co-founder.Executive producers Alexander Cary and David Graziano happily wear their influences...

Donnie Wahlberg
Lie to Me (Fox, 9/8c, Monday)Call it the unsocial network, as the "to tell the truth" procedural wraps its third season — let's hope it's not the last — with a strong episode that plays like the murderous flip side of The Social Network. When a murder occurs during the contentious wrangling over profits of a hot social-networking app, Lightman's steely focus falls on the smug creator — or so he says — of the site (played by former Nikita co-star Ashton Holmes in a variation of Jesse Eisenberg's take on Mark Zuckerberg). An hour earlier on NBC (opposite a fresh episode of the much-moved-around Human Target), a pivotal episode of Chuck airs that would have been the season finale if NBC hadn't extended the show's order. It's Chuck vs. psycho villain Volkoff (the very entertaining Timothy Dalton), and that should be great fun...

Is there a 1" coil, or is my only option the Eibach 1-1/2" or OME 1-1/2"?
And if I go with the 1-1/2" coils...will it be front high w/ a sagging rear?
Or, do I just say eff-it and go with the 5100's set at .85?
I don't rock climb or "wheel"...I do haul full loads and tow occasionally.
I got the TSB for load. the lift is nice...but I want to raise the front...maintaining a factory look and ride (just a little higher). I rather have the rear a bit higher unloaded, but level is probably ok.
Also, I'll be upgrading the Dunlap 245/75's for some 265/75 tires in the future.
Thoughts? Opinions?

You probably all know about ICTTechnician.com.
There is another site technet.org.uk
This is is not be confused with technet.com which is Microsoft site for IT Pros
The strange thing is that the forum server has a sch.uk domain.
I wonder if the school knows about it, especailly the jokes forum.

Traditionally, I believe, the odds of pulling a high-end (low numbered, auto, GU etc) were not as good in retail packs/boxes. Nowadays, I don't think the difference is as great (between retail and hobby). Of course, if you buy a hobby box, you're "guaranteed" to get the number of autos/GU/hits listed. I've seen a lot of guys pull some really nice stuff from retail. I think the consensus is, if you're going to spend a couple hundred bucks on boxes/packs, try buying jumbo or hobby boxes (rather than retail). Slightly cheaper per pack cost.

On July 1 2013, the Ministerial Regulation on promotion, advertising and addiction prevention regarding games of chance ("Regulation") came into effect. With this Regulation, parts of the Decree on promotion, advertising and addiction prevention regarding games of chance ("Decree"), dated 7 May 2013, have been further specified. The Decree and the Regulation currently only apply to the (Dutch) license holders, but will in the near future also extend to (foreign) providers of online games of chance.
In this regulatory framework, a balance is sought between on the one hand stimulating that consumers find their way to the (legal) licensed games of chance, while on the other hand avoiding stimulating the participation in games of chance in general. The main rules are that when promoting or advertising games of chance the provider:
1. is not allowed to direct its communications to minors or problem gamblers;
2. is not allowed to advertise together with services or goods of third parties;
3. has to advertise with caution; and
4. is not allowed to depict minors in their advertisements.
Further to these general rules, the Regulation contains the following specific information obligations that have to be observed with every promotional communication or advertisement (please note the different effective dates). These information obligations are part of the duty of care of the license holders to prevent gambling addiction. The license holder:
5. is obligated to point out the minimum age for participating in games of chance with every communication (as of 1 October 2013);
6. is obligated to point out the risks involved with participating in games of chance, by referring to the correct webpage on the website of the license holder (as of 1 October 2013); and
7. is obligated to include a warning in their advertisements that points out the risks involved with participating in games of chance (as of 1 January 2015).
The Regulation also describes in detail the reporting obligations of the license holders relating to their promotional and advertising activities. Among other things the Regulation stipulates that each year, the license holder is required to report on all methods of promoting and advertising and to provide overview of the complaints that were received on its advertising activities.
