Will The "Veronica Mars" Kickstarter Revolutionize Indie Film?
Crowdfunding has been a way of life for indie film for years, but with fractions of the $3.7 million (and counting) banked by Veronica Mars. Could indie films ever measure up?
It's been a week since Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell broke the internet with their Kickstarter campaign for a feature film version of Veronica Mars. In less than 24 hours, the film reached its $2 million goal, securing an unprecedented deal with Warner Bros. Digital for distribution, marketing, and promotion. Over the subsequent week, some 56,700 backers have donated a running total of $3.7 million to the effort — a rough average of $65.50 per donation — blasting past the previous Kickstarter record for a feature film project several times over. In just seven days, this plucky teenage gumshoe has managed to rewrite the rules for crowdfunding a movie production budget, causing many professionals in Hollywood to give sites like Kickstarter a serious new look.
The day the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign started, television producer Shawn Ryan tweeted, "Very interested to see how this Veronica Mars kickstarter goes. Could be a model for a Terriers wrap up film." Zachary Levi told Entertainment Weekly he was already contemplating a Kickstarter campaign for a Chuck feature film. Showrunner Bryan Fuller said to The Hollywood Reporter that he's now seriously considering discussing with Warner Bros. how he could revive Pushing Daisies as a feature film, despite his reservations about the budget he would need. (On the other hand, Joss Whedon told BuzzFeed that, for now, a crowdfunded Firefly film is "a total non-Kickstarter for me.")
With the bright media spotlight so suddenly fixed on crowdfunding, it may surprise observers new to the phenomenon to learn that, before Ms. Mars and her Neptune, California, crew showed up to the party, Kickstarter had already successfully raised nearly $100 million for independent films. About 10% of the films at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012 and 2013 were funded via Kickstarter, as was the 2012 Oscar winner for Best Documentary Short, Inocente. For four years now, crowdfunding sites like Seed & Spark, Fractured Atlas, Indiegogo, and Kickstarter have been helping cash-strapped indie filmmakers build their production budgets, finish the final edits, and screen the finished films at festivals.
Most importantly, they've also connected filmmakers with their audiences in a profound way. "Almost as important as getting you funds, those sites build a community around your project," says writer-director Jonathan Lisecki, who raised roughly $30,000 for his delightful romantic comedy Gayby via Kickstarter and Fractured Atlas. "It creates a level of excitement and anticipation for your film, at least from the people who feel like they are a part of it."
And for many in the indie world, it's not nearly clear yet how Veronica Mars' runaway success with crowdfunding will affect this still-developing economic ecosystem.
"When I look at [Veronica Mars on Kickstarter], I can only think, Oh, good for them, but it has nothing to do with me," says Ava DuVernay, writer-director of the 2012 indie darling Middle of Nowhere. "That's a show that had huge national exposure on television for however many seasons it was on, week after week. It's a venture that will eventually be supported by a corporate structure. It's wonderful that it happened for them, but for me, as an independent filmmaker who literally makes films for less than a half million dollars — my last film [budget] was $200,000 — what's happening there is outside the context of true independent filmmaking."
Echoes Lisecki, "There are hundreds and hundreds of films each year that are asking for, like, 25 grand, 30 grand, 50 grand. I'm not quite sure how many people could pull off $1 million." To wit: Big Gay Love, starring Lisecki and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Nicholas Brendon, just reached its modest $20,000 Kickstarter goal after 27 days of trying. Veronica Mars cleared that bar in a matter of minutes.
The Mars model isn't a complete outlier, however. Producer Josh Penn — who worked with nonprofits to fund the Oscar-nominated Beasts of the Southern Wild but has turned to Kickstarter to help finance two documentaries — is more sanguine about what Veronica Mars means for crowdfunding. "It shows that crowdfunding can work all scales of projects," he says. "It really opens up the possibilities of what can be made. These [crowdfunding] tools were being used for much, much smaller projects only. I love the idea that there's a way to do something totally independently just because people believe it should be made. … It's a whole new model for filmmaking."
For Penn, one of the caveats to Veronica Mars' success — that it had a huge built-in audience itching to support it — only proves that established indie filmmakers should consider their own fans when planning their next films. "If we had gone out three years ago and said, 'We want to make Beasts of the Southern Wild on Kickstarter,' we would not have been able to fund the entire movie," he says. "If we went out now and said, 'We want to make Beasts of the Southern Wild 2' — which we don't want to make, for the record — I think maybe we could. It would be an interesting experiment to see if we could be able to garner enough support to fund an entire film like that."
At the very least, indie filmmakers can be more ambitious with their fundraising goals — but only to a point. "The lesson for independent filmmakers here is not that you can go out and raise $3 million," says Josh Welsh, co-president of Film Independent, a non-for-profit organization that helps indie filmmakers (and puts on the annual Indie Spirit Awards). "Filmmakers need to have a sense of reality to what's really feasible to accomplish. At the same time, they should not be too modest in their aspirations. I encounter both of these [issues] with filmmakers."
Welsh says that a smart, focused, energized crowdfunding campaign has the very real potential to make upwards of six figures. "If your total budget is $500,000 and you're able to raise $200,000 on Kickstarter, that's incredible," he says. "Non-refundable money — [where] you don't have to pay an investor back — is a huge asset to your film. To me, the space where you're seeing the most impact of Kickstarter right now is in low-budget, quality filmmaking."
Ah, but there's the rub. Veronica Mars' success has also called attention to a looming concern with crowdfunding: Backers do not receive any kind of equity in the projects they're supporting. "This is something that folks who've been watching [crowdfunding] for a while have always thought about," says DuVernay. "What if it's a hit? If this thing hits number one at the box office or if this starts to become financially viable through all its platforms — DVD, VOD, transactional streaming, international [distribution] — are the people that invested in it worth nothing in terms of being recouped in any way? It's interesting. I don't think it's ever been tackled seriously because nothing's made that much money to really warrant that kind of question having to be answered."
"That's just the nature of the [site]," counters Beasts' Penn. "People have the choice to not donate. Kickstarter is a tool saying, 'I believe in this. I want it to get made.' The return of it, sometimes it's the prizes, but more and more I think the return on it is that the thing exists. … There's a lot of reasons why people can be excited about things besides just making money."
Very soon, though, that sentiment may be moot. Last April, Congress passed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, which, among its provisions, allows for equity-based crowdfunding up to $1 million — meaning, in theory, a grandma who gives $100 to her granddaughter's documentary could see that money back, and then some, should the film make a profit. The only holdup: Until the S.E.C. rules on how "crowd investing" could even work, no one can take advantage of it. A ruling, however, is expected soon.
"If the S.E.C. says you can raise equity through crowdfunding," says Film Independent's Welsh, "that will open the door for all kinds of filmmakers to raise substantially more money through crowdfunding than they currently do. At that point, you're essentially going to be able to buy shares in a film through a crowdfunding site. That will be a game changer."

What you can do You can help limit the damage of emerald ash borer by taking steps to inform yourself about this invasive species and the ash trees it affects. Simple steps to inform others can also be beneficial to your community and the forests within the region that you live.
Volunteer Opportunities MetroParks is introducing the MetroParks Tree Corp. volunteer project. The Tree Corp. will help Miami Valley residents and their families learn about the life cycle of trees while restoring our forests.
This opportunity includes the Forest Foster Family program, Master Silviculturist service learning program, and other reforestation volunteer opportunities.
Would you like to get involved? Opportunities are available now!
MetroParks plan for action There's no getting around it: Ash trees in our parks that have been infected by the EAB will die. We essentially have two options:
There are pros and cons to both methods and cost factors for each. Removal fees are high, but one-time expenses. Inoculation isn't as expensive but must be re-applied every two to three years for the next 15-20 years.
Five Rivers MetroParks has identified and is chemically treating 600 native ash species. Many more trees will be removed before they become a hazard. With your help, we can limit the effects of the EAB and still enjoy native ash in our parks for years to come.
If you are looking to treat your ash tree, make sure you consult a certified arborist.

5 simple Illustrator tips
21 Nov 2013
For most of the design work for the web and for iPhone/iPad GUI design, I prefer to use Photoshop, in combination with illustrator. In case of illustrations, icons, or other vector-based work, I jump into Illustrator. Once finished, I paste my creation into my Photoshop document, either as a Smart Object or a Vector Shape layer, because flexibility means everything. Illustrator has made a great step towards web oriented design work, and a lot of things you can do in Photoshop are possible with Illustrator. Take for instance the Graphic Styles. In Photoshop you have Styles. You might think it is its counterpart, but I believe both can not be compared. Let me give you an overview of how Illustrator's Graphic Styles work and what is possible…

Designing an infographic on a subject that sparks more than just your interest is always a fun challenge to do. This time Grinta! magazine asked me to design one about the Tour of France, and more particularly about the question that comes to mind of many cycling fans: 'What does a pro cycling team take with them to the Tour of France?'.
Sometimes I wish all job requests could be like this one. Then again, I'm the last person to complain as I get to do what I love on most days. What I want to say is that some projects just give me such a joy to work on. These favorites of mine usually have an illustration part. One of them was this infographic about women and cycling for Grinta!, a Belgian magazine all about cycling. Today I'll explain the steps I took during the design process, and also share some details on how I created some of the graphs…

Today I want to share some of those, but first… my sincere apologies for the delay. This wouldn't have been possible without my readers, you guys and gals are awesome!

INTRODUCTIONIn Windows Server 2003, server clusters that are configured to use a majority node set (MNS) quorum model can force the Cluster service to start when less than the required minimum number of cluster nodes are participating in the cluster. The following formula is used to determine the minimum number of cluster nodes that are required: (<Total configured cluster nodes>/2) + 1 For example, a 4-node MNS cluster requires a minimum of 3 nodes to be considered functional ((4/2) + 1 = 3). To start the Cluster service by using the MNS quorum model method, use the ForceQuorum registry key, or use a startup parameter, such as the /forcequorum switch.
Note The ForceQuorum registry key is located under the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ClusSvc\Parameters MORE INFORMATIONIn Windows Server 2008-based failover clusters, the cluster configuration information is tracked across all nodes in the cluster and on a witness disk, if one is configured. A Paxos tagging process is used to guarantee consistency of the cluster configuration across all nodes and on the witness disk. The Paxos algorithm is used for guaranteeing consistency across distributed systems. The algorithm is used by the Cluster service to guarantee data consistency when updates to the cluster configuration are propagated across all nodes in the cluster. In Windows Server 2008-based failover clusters, the Paxos tag consists of three numbers. Each number is separated by a colon. For example, a tag may resemble the following: 3:3:276 These numbers represent the NextEpoch number, the LastUpdateEpoch number, and the sequence number. Ideally, the Paxos tag should be the same across all replicas of the cluster configuration. The Epoch numbers are changed every time that the cluster is formed. The sequence number is changed every time that an update is made to the cluster configuration. The synchronization process in a cluster sends out a proposal to all the nodes in the cluster. The proposal consists of a sequence number and a proposal number. A cluster node checks its local copy of the cluster configuration to see whether it has a newer sequence number or a higher proposal number. If the node does not have more current information (higher numbers), the node sends an acceptance back to the proposing node. If most of the nodes in the cluster (a "consensus") send back an acceptance to the proposing node, the data is sent to each cluster node to be incorporated locally. When a cluster node joins a cluster, the node sends its Paxos tag information as part of the joining process. If the Paxos tag information for the joining node is older than the current cluster configuration, a complete copy of the cluster configuration is pushed to the node as part of the joining process. This copy of the cluster configuration is known as a cluster registry hive. This behavior guarantees that all nodes that are joining a cluster have the most up-to-date configuration information. The Paxos tag format in a cluster can change only in the following two scenarios:
2007/12/31-15`35`55.889_4:2007/12/31-15`35`55.889_4:294 This format guarantees that the nodes that run the Cluster service together with this Paxos tag format will have the golden or authoritative copy of the cluster configuration. Any node that joins the cluster will automatically have this copy of the cluster configuration pushed to it during the joining process. Therefore, when you decide to force the Cluster service to start on a specific node in a Windows Server 2008-based failover cluster, it is important to select the node that has the most up-to-date cluster configuration information. Otherwise, some configuration settings may be lost.REFERENCESFor more information about the MNS quorum model, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784005(WS.10).aspx For more information about the Paxos algorithm, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Beach Party on the Threshold of Hell : Plain Awesome!
MehTwo of my favorite films of all time are Shaun of the Dead and Army of Darkness. To me it looks like Beach Party on the Threshold of Hell may very well be on that list soon! This movie looks simply put, fucking awesome. I encourage you to checkout the trailer which is our latest featured video: Watch Beach Party on the Threshold of Hell
The history of New America unfolds; the year is 2097 A.D. Two decades ago, the great nation of The United States fell forever. Now, the survivors must re-emerge from the ashes as the founding fathers of a brutal and bizarre new nation. And so, a new kind of political race begins.
We join Tex Kennedy, driven by the passionate objective to unite this battered nation, as he journeys to the deadly future capital of New America, notoriously known as the Threshold of Hell. Standing by Tex's side are his two robot companions and a fabled young woman known through legend as "Cannibal Sue". As Tex's epic journey progresses we learn how a young appointed king, his murderously jealous cousin, a giant sea snake, the great, great, great grandson of Fidel Castro, a powerful communication radio tower, and the spawn of Satan himself, all hold a vital presence in the New American mythology.
Through the strange adventures of Tex Kennedy, the humble and terrifying birth of New America began. The events of this fantastical dark comedy will create our early heroes, our early villains and shape the history of our new nation forever.

LEGO Batman Walkthrough
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | >> |
The Joker's Masterpiece |
First order of business: build the generator; it's not exactly fully functional yet, so push the two pillars atop the steps nearby to uncover a lever. With the Scarecrow, pull the lever, which raises the electric generator only halfway. Have Joker power it up and cover the rest of the distance to the top. Leap off and head around the top floor. The goal is to unclip the chandelier from the two hinges holding it to the ceiling. Smash the controls on both sides for it to send the chandelier crashing to the floor, breaking a couple of things in the process. (A little chaos never hurt anyone...)
Assemble the wooden ramp up to the big double doors. Convince the lad inside the booth to open the doors for you; he simply can't say no to the Scarecrow. As you make your way through the gallery, keep a lookout for three unique cases and smash them up for a LEGO canister. The first one was back in the first big hall.
Plant explosives at the base of the gargoyle statue on the right and assemble the lever. Then step on both buttons simultaneously to collect a LEGO canister.
Before heading through the first big double doors, venture more to the right and double jump up to the higher level platform. Set an explosive at the metal door and, with the Heat Protection Suit, brave the searing hot air to find a hostage. If you want a red power brick, you will also need to push the colored blocks into the appropriate spot that matches the color of the fruit with the color of the block. |
On the way up the steps, fire at the security panel behind the lasers with the Joker to shut them down. Grab the LEGO canister and continue up. Aim for the LEGO pieces that assemble into a crank and rotate it. Power up the generator and head through the unlocked door.
With a double jump character, jump up to the tall platform on the left and push the statue down. From this, you get a LEGO canister. |
Upon entering, a high tech security camera dispenses a huge puff of toxic gas that lingers around the exit and the top of the stairs. Luckily, the Joker can withstand the sweet smell of the poison, so have him head up the stairs and to the right. Follow the path up to the top, where you will find pieces to build into a fan. This fan causes only some of the gas to dissipate, so you need to build another to remove the rest.
You need the Sonic Suit to be able to acquire the LEGO canister from the glass display case in the center. |
Move now to the left of the stairs and hit the switch. Bash the fuse box to short-circuit the laser machinery. Bash the blue and white tiles to loosen them up, and use them to complete the checker-patterned floor. Push the heavy object along the floor so that the Scarecrow can now lend a hand.
At the top, place the metal bars in the proper spots and have one character jump up and onto the top of the tall pillar. The other character proceeds to push the pillar toward the right. Jump off and build this fan to open the door.
The elevator requires power. Smash the paintings along the right wall to enable the lever above. Break the gargoyle statues to build a crank. As Scarecrow, rotate the crank to lower the platform, at which point the Joker hops on. Install the metal bars on the wall and hop across to the lever. Upon hitting the lever, a bunch of LEGO pieces tumble out of the chutes. Judging by the color, the pieces create a Joker generator, which juices up the elevator.
Get a super strong character to batter down the wall on the left. Inside is a LEGO canister. In the lower right corner of the area, a pipe with very hot steam blows continuously upon a lever. If properly outfitted, say with the Heat Protection Suit, you can activate this lever. Proceed to blow up the shiny metal gates in the center, as well as use the Sonic Suit to remove the glass. Once you finish building your creation, you are rewarded with a LEGO canister. |
Assemble a base board, which stacks against the barrels and helps you overcome the fence. Climb up the tower of crates and double jump to the LEGO canister. After pulling the lever on the right, push the box along the floor until it reaches the end. Move to the electric generator and turn it on to transport the box to the other side. Pull the lever again for another box and transport it over as well. It will come out the other side as a LEGO canister.
Sink into the toxic filled area and bash up the objects here. Create a box from the scraps and pull the lever to lift it up. You now have two boxes that you may or may not know what to do with. Ah, but you do.
Back on the other side of the fence, near the elevator, double jump up to the lever handle to open the shutters below. Mind control the civilian inside and force him to do your bidding. Who ever said crime doesn't pay? Certainly, they never got a LEGO canister for it. |
Jump into the orange control area to begin operating the crane. Pick up each box and load them atop the two orange panels on the floor. The bridge extends to Scarecrow, and he can now proceed to persuade the guy in the booth to let them leave.

Random Thoughts For Tuesday
For the 1,00oth Time - I Never Tried The Breastmilk!
Why is this the only question I get from soon-to-be new Dads when their wife isn't around? Not questions about sleep, diapers, what is an appropriate age for Chuck E Cheese, etc. I hope this isn't a question I just get - because that would be really weird.
And to answer the question: I only know of one guy that did this - he was out of creamer for his coffee (that still gives me the chills!)
Father's Day 2007 Has Come and Passed
I was allowed to sleep until 8 a.m. until my daughter jumped on me yelling "Happy Birthday Daddy!" with a card she colored. Then we headed to Pasadena for the Art Chalkwalk and classic car show where I stood with some other dads staring at car engines with my arms crossed nodding in agreement about parts I knew nothing about.
Wanted: Anybody Have a Spare Cow?
I'm not sure when it happened, but somehow I can now have small conversations with my daughter (I can't even say how much I love these.) Yesterday:
Daughter: Daddy, I wanna buy cow
Me: A Cow?
Daughter: A COW
Me: Do you have money? You need money to buy a cow. But first you need a job to get money. And you need skills to get a job. Have you put any thought about your skills?
Daughter: Daddy....I wanna buy bunny rabbit!
Planning The 2nd Birthday Party
My idea for a small birthday party with about 6-8 kids around my daughter's age has been compromised. We've opened it up to family, which pretty much blew away the guest count (darn you family!) Gymboree has a limit on kids (22) and now we're trying to choose between friends or family.
And we can't just invite a few family, because the ones who aren't invited might mail me a horse head.
I'm also considering getting one of those balloon making people (one who doesn't dress as a clown.) But one who might agree to dress as Colonel Sanders (he can make chicken balloon animals...!)

You'll be glad to know that I'm the #1 hit for the google search phrase, "drinking wife's tasty breast milk." I'm quite proud of that one.
And yes, it was damn tasty. - 10:46 AM
- Whirlwind said...
Moe kept telling Husband "Happy Birthday" as well.
Can you have 2 parties? A friend one at Gymboree and Family one with Col.-Sander-making-chicken-balloons-guy somewhere else? - 10:55 AM
- Jenster said...
You're going to have to be careful as your daughter gets older. It's obvious she's very smart. :o)
- Absolutely Bananas said...
you didn't try the breast milk? And you call yourself a man???
- Whit said...
I never tried it either, but I got pretty good with my aim. I could nail a fly on the nightstand without even waking my wife.
Must come from my days back on the dairy. - 1:33 PM
I'll sell you a cow. To you?.. Three magic beans. A bargain at twice the price.
- Rick Andreoli said...
Breast milk in the coffee... Hmm.... Does that make it a real Coffee Mate?
- Darren said...
It's sounding like you might end up with Elvis making balloon animals. I'd stick with a party for friends.
- Stay at home dad said...
I can see you've really got this father negotiation thing down pat, C-T Dad. Another couple of minutes and I bet you'd bargained her down to a small furry toy...
- Tuesday Girl said...
nobody believes you didn't try the breastmilk. Even if you didn't, nobody believes it!
- Haley-O said...
I remember being hurt when my hubby wouldn't just taste it! I mean, baby's drinking it -- so it can't be that gross.... But, I understand why you guys would think it's gross. I never really thought about it much -- maybe cuz i'm a girl.
The monkey's 2nd birthday party is getting out of control, too. I said JUST A FEW FRIENDS, and it's turning into A LOT of friends. We're having it at a gymboree type place (but better) -- with instructors and an indoor playground, etc. Doing it this way takes A LOT of the work out of it for me.... - 12:40 PM
- kittenpie said...
First off - what kind of crazy family do you have that 22 kids won't cut it?! Wow. You might need to move.
And you know when you put milk in a bottle and warm it and you're supposed to test the warmth on the insde of your wrist, and then you have a drop of milk running down your wrist, so you just lick it off? Really? You've never done that? - 1:13 PM
- creative-type dad said...
kittenpie -- I swear, my family (mom's side) are a bunch of rabbits. If they sneeze, another kid comes popping out...
The wife did the breastfeeding thing, or when she froze-it had some pre-determined microwave time.
Tuesday Girl -- that's the problem! I'm just going to say it taste like Folger's Crystals.
Absolutely Bananas -- If it helped me gorw chest hair, then maybe.
Whirlwind -- No, two parties would cost too much. I would much rather have my family stand in the parking lot tailgating and BBQ'ing ribs. - 1:22 PM
- carrie said...
I didn't try the breastmilk either.
Carrie :) - 2:01 PM
- pixie said...
Wow -- I don't think Hubby ever got that question. And now I'm afraid to ask him.
The convo between you and daughter is priceless -- make sure your write these down in her baby book. Volcano has quite a few -- I had to start a word document and he's on his 8th page.
As for the party, best of luck to ya. Both my kids birthdays are in December, so I always have double the parties, friends AND family. No sympathy. - 2:37 PM
- L.A. Daddy said...
I'm glad I never got the breastmilk questions. Ew. I know it's natural and all, but for some reason it seems kind of creepy.
However, I have no problem drinking the stuff from a goofy looking cow. Of which, I don't have for sale. Sorry. - 4:34 PM
- painted maypole said...
my father in law is a dead ringer for colonel sanders. no kidding. he would get asked all the time if he was colonel sanders. but you would have to fly him in from Michigan.
- creative-type dad said...
painted maypole - If I fly your father-in-law out here, I'm never going to let him go back.
I MUST see a picture...
pixie - I'm not too good at the baby books. We have them and they still have the default baby picture on them. I guess this thing is sort-of-one. Except, I'm not sure I want my daughter to read any of it... - 10:53 PM
- radioactive girl said...
I remember when I was little and my mom was breastfeeding my brother my dad DID try it. I remember it very clearly because then my mom asked me if I wanted to try it and I replied "I wouldn't even drink it when I was a baby, why would I drink it NOW?" I was 6.
I don't think my husband ever got that question, but he definitely did not try the milk.
Chicken balloon animals would be pretty cool. - 2:56 PM
- Ruth Dynamite said...
Maybe if I had my own cow, I wouldn't have been as curious to taste the milk. Because I did. From a tall glass. (glug glug glug)
OK - maybe just a droplet on my fingertip. My husband? Not a chance. - 3:47 PM
- jeneflower said...
That breast milk question is hilarious and not surprising at all.
- Mrs. Chicken said...
that girl of yours ... genius!
- aimee / greeblemonkey said...
I honestly can't remember if Bryan tried the breastmilk or not. I will have to ask him. Not sure if he will admit to it if he did, though.
And we did b-day #3 at Gymboree. Luckily I was able to confine it to 7 kids even with their 20 kid max. It was an awesome party. Have fun! - 5:08 PM

Hotels in Bahamas
Bahamas hotels offer colorful accommodations right at or near the water's edge. With everything from beach cottages to luxury resorts, hotels in the Bahamas provide something for every traveler to enjoy, whether on business or for pleasure. Pink Sands Resort has twenty-five pastel-colored private cottages with views of the pink sand coastline and their own patios at this luxury getaway in Harbour Island. The resort also has activities guaranteed to make your time on the island worthwhile, like fishing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Green Turtle Club Resort and Marina is situated in the private Green Turtle Cay, and offers waterfront rooms with private docks. The accommodations are only a 10-minute walk from the beach. The Club Restaurant also serves Caribbean cuisine. Pelican Bay at Lucaya is a 4 star spot and is one of the best hotels in the Bahamas. It is in the heart of Grand Bahama Island, and sports palm trees and Bahamian architecture. With a casino, the Port Lucaya Marketplace, and the caves of Lucayan National Park nearby, there is always something new to discover.
This island resort, with six expansive villas and two deserted beaches offers accommodations with white rockers shaded by palmettos and an oversize kitchen where one of the staff cooks breakfast to order.
One of only three hotels on San Salvador, in the Bahamas, Club Med Columbus Isle delivers an amenity-filled escape on an island that still seems as far off the tourist trail as when Columbus came ashore in 1492.
Romora Bay Club rests on the bay side of a terraced hill, the very place to watch golden sunsets on Harbour Island. The resort offers 15 rooms, six of which are suites, and each has featherbeds, comforters, and unique decor with African and Bahamian accents.
Samuel Thurston has built a guesthouse in the dunes. Sammy T's, as he calls his modest inn, has seven clapboard bungalows around a main lodge with a dining room that serves conch stew and grilled lobster.
The earth-conscious hotel, slated to open on Earth Day of 2009, will attempt to be "carbon negative". Developed by Dalu Design and architect David Sklar, the private island will be entirely off the grid.
Oceanview Club, or "Pip's Place" as it is called by locals, is a nine-room complex transformed into a boutique hotel on the famous Pinks Sands Beach of the Bahamas' Harbour Island.
Next to a dockside fish clean-and-grill station conveniently positioned where harmless reef sharks circle for scraps, this marina is the jumping-off point for exploring the northern half of the Exumas and, as the name implies, a favorite anchorage for mariners.
The short ferry ride from neighboring Andros reveals nothing of this private 96-acre barrier island but thick stands of mangrove trees. Secluded Kamalame Cay is the perfect stage for an updated Robinson Crusoe fantasy.
The 12-room Landing has a decidedly patrician vibe. The hotel was conceived by Tracy Barry (whose mother was the first-ever Miss Bahamas) and Toby Tyler, a Sydney restaurateur.
Feast on conch and spend your days tooling from beach to beach—all empty, all extraordinary.
Make all the Rasta jokes you want; there's nothing half-baked about this brand-new boutique resort (which officially opens in July 2008).
When most people hear "Grand Bahama Island" they picture bustling, touristy Freeport. However, 26 miles away from the frenetic crowds is the quiet and relaxed Bahamanian West End.
The name Eleuthera comes from the Greek word for freedom—and this 80-acre property, just a stone's throw from Governor's Harbour, strives to embody the casual, carefree spirit of its home island.
This cheerful little compound of candy-colored beachfront cabanas is the least touristy feeling resort in Nassau/New Providence.

Still alive and well
In response to the firefighters articles, I would like people to know that I am still alive and well excuse the pun.
Im the one Greg Corn helped out of the well 32 years ago and Id like to thank him again for coming down after me. Also, to the rest of the crew for their part in the rescue.
Gregs account of the incident is pretty accurate. I was 40 down and I hung on for two hours until my husband found me and called the fire department for help. I was pretty tired and cold by then.
Thanks again to the fire department and especially Greg Corn for saving my life.

5:37 a.m. - 2001-04-25
Ugh. I feel really, really weird. It's probably just a cold. That's what I keep telling myself. But colds don't make you topple over when you stand up. Colds don't make you not want to eat. Colds don't make you stand outside your neighbor's bedroom window and play with yourself even though you're not the least bit attracted to her. I'm sick, I'm tellin' ya. I went to bed last night at 8:00 because I was FREEZING as I sat in my recliner. I had a big velour blanket wrapped up around my like a giant cocoon and I was STILL shivering. So I took my night-time Contac and went and passed out. I actually feel better this morning. I still feel "ugh". But it's a big improvement over last night. Wanna know how sick I was yesterday? I didn't eat lunch. Yep. When it came time to order in Chinese ... Uncle Bob passed. I think that's when everyone in the office knew...this guy is sick. He NEVER passes on Chinese. They wanted to rush me to the emergency room but I stood firmly (well...wobbly) and said "Neigh! For I shall stay and finish this newspaper so that the masses will be able to read the finest in community news!" Well...I didn't say that. I said "Fuck, I feel like shit. How much does it cost to get your stomach pumped?" Anyway...yesterday...bad day. Bad long day. Bad, bad long day. Bad, bad, long, long day. Y'see? That's my idea of humor this morning. I'm in sad shape. Welllll...when Susie went to pick Andy up from Daycare yesterday, she had a surprise waiting for her. A big assed red welt right near his eye. As it turns out, a little girl named Angel (HA!) decided she wanted to kiss on Andy. I don't blame her...he's one fine looking kid. When Miss Robin, Andy's daycare provider told Angel not to kiss Andy, Angel proceeded to take a bite out of Andy instead. CHOMP! Apparently, Andy screamed like a woman giving birth in a taxi cab. His day abruptly went downhill from there. I was a little pissed when I came home to that red mark on my kid's face. Granted, kids will be kids. But Angel is two...Andy's not even six months old yet. Shouldn't the two year old be playing with the other two-year olds and Andy be off limits to her? No wonder he keeps coming home with colds and passing them on to Daddy. The other kids are sucking his face dry. I'm supposed to go interview some author in town today who's written a book about ghosts who haunt all these southern mansions. I'm not gonna do it. A) They called me two months ago to arrange the interview and I haven't heard from them since, even though I told them to "remind me". B) I'm sick as a Englishman in a beef-eating contest. C) If I DO muster up the energy to do anything today, I'm going to go try to scrounge up some door prizes for my golf tournament tomorrow. Wait a second...I doubt there's even one single door on the golf course. Which means...no DOOR prizes. Whew! Looks like I'm staying in t-shirt and boxers all day!! It is my turn to take Andy to day care today. Susie asked me last night. As I stood there, weaving in the doorway, half asleep, feverish, coughing, sputtering... "Are you taking him to daycare tomorrow?" Gadzooks. I was about to hurl all over the carpet and she wanted to make sure she could get those extra 15 minutes of sleep this morning. I almost went off on her, telling her how bad I felt and that I have no business even being in the same house as the baby because I was SICK dammit. Except... Well... She's pretty sick too. Not as bad as me, naturally. Or at least she's not whining as much as me. But she's got a hacking cough. I talked to my sister the other night. She told me something interesting. You know this actress, Marcia Gay Harden? She won best supporting actress for "Pollock" at the Oscars? Well apparently, we went to school with the girl in Greece. She was a few years older than me and I don't remember her at all. But my sister dated her younger brother (Mark) for about a year and was best friends with her younger sister (Stephanie). My sister said she barely remembers her and that she was always too busy to talk to the younger kids. Matt? Mitch? Do you guys remember her? (Matt and Mitch are two of my old buddies from Greece who have apparently found this site) I'm getting dizzy sitting here, so I'm going to go lay down for a while. Take care. Send me mental chicken soup to make me all better.

Framingham Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand
Winemaker's Notes
This 2011 Sauvignon Blanc delivers punchy flavors of passionfruit, grapefruit and redcurrant. Texture is enhanced by some barrel ferment and our signature mineral finish is retained.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Framingham is one of New Zealand's Riesling pioneers, but this shows the winery is serious about Sauvignon Blanc as well. There's a smoky, struck-flint character on the nose, then layers of citrusy fruit on the palate. It's medium bodied, with a long, grapefruity finish."
Framingham Winery
View all Framingham Wines About Other New Zealand
A few other New Zealand areas include the region of Auckland, high up on the North Island, Nelson, sitting to the west of Marlborough, and Canterbury, just under Waipara on the South Island. Most wines in New Zealand will come from a designated area and say so on the label.
Notable Facts
Auckland was one of the first wine growing regions of the country, but now produces very little of New Zealand's wine. It's pretty wet up there so vineyards are planted in the driest spots possible – reds are most popular here. Nelson is the only region along the west coast of the country, producing Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Canterbury's chilly climate is best suited for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.About New Zealand
The country of New Zealand is about 1000 miles from the coast of Australia. It consists of two long islands, end to end, that are approximately the same length as California. Most of the country's climate is maritime due to the abundant coastline. The northern island is warmer and wetter, while the southern island is cooler and dryer. The most popular grapes of New Zealand are Sauvignon Blanc (made most famous by the bright, crisp wines coming out of Marlborough), Chardonnay and the ever-growing Pinot Noir. -

Ian Shere - BUCKEYE, AZ512/18/2014- Style
- Light & Crisp
My all time favorite of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. I've found it almost impossible to buy in the States compared to Kim Crawford or Oyster Bay. Both these others fair well in comparison, but just not quite as lively and clean on the finish. To me, Framinghams will always be numero uno!33/30/2013Renee2234 - New York, NY56/9/2012Related ProductsAlcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.

DU opposition to Navy's airfield proposal heard on Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON, May 18, 2007 – The U.S. House of Representatives said no, Thursday, to funding a new U.S. Navy landing field in eastern North Carolina. Since 2002, Ducks Unlimited has urged the Navy to find a different location for its Outlying Landing Field because of possible negative effects to waterfowl and pilot safety. The proposed site is close to Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is an important area for waterfowl populations.
The House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act includes language blocking the Navy from constructing the airbase at its preferred site, known as Site C. The act defines how the Department of the Defense spends money.
"We are encouraged by Congress' recent action averting a potentially destructive blow to the waterfowl and wetland resources of North Carolina" said DU Director of Governmental Affairs Scott Sutherland. "The health of Atlantic Flyway waterfowl populations is at stake, and the Outlying Landing Field would pose significant risks to naval pilots and the citizens of North Carolina." The coastal counties of east-central and northeastern North Carolina are part of important winter habitat for migratory waterfowl on the East Coast. Base construction would have destroyed significant feeding habitat the birds need. DU and its partners, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, are working to combat wetland loss and expand that habitat.
The Navy held public hearings in March and April throughout North Carolina and received much opposition to the preferred building site in Washington and Beaufort and counties. Senior DU volunteers spoke at all of the hearings opposing construction next to the refuge.
DU also submitted formal comments to the Navy's Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on May 2.
"We believe that the search criteria used by the Navy does not limit them to the selection of Site C and that another site can be found that has significantly less impacts on waterfowl and significantly less risk to Navy pilots," said DU's Southern Regional Office Director Ken Babcock.
The Senate Armed Services Committee should finalize its version of the National Defense Authorization Act next week. It's expected to use similar language to repeal funding for the Outlying Landing Field.
Contact: Neil Shader 202.347.1530 firstname.lastname@example.com
With more than a million supporters, Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest and most effective wetland and waterfowl conservation organization with almost 12 million acres conserved. The United States alone has lost more than half of its original wetlands - nature's most productive ecosystem - and continues to lose more than 80,000 wetland acres each year.

Demijohn - Stoneware, Salt Glazed (Fragment) Reg. No: LL 1721
- Summary:
- This salt glazed polychrome demijohn was excavated at Casselden Place in 2003.
Food and eating.
Kitchen facilities in the homes of Little Lon were rudimentary. Few people had ovens or ice chests, so perishable foods were bought fresh daily. Most meals were fried or boiled over an open fire. Families with limited facilities would take their Sunday roasts to a nearby bakery for cooking. Even the poorest residents of Little Lon seem to have eaten a considerable amount of meat. Mutton, beef, rabbit and pork came from the Eastern Market in Bourke Street. Oysters and fish were sold from barrows in Flinders Street. Fresh fruit and vegetables were hawked on the streets by Chinese and Italian vendors. - Acquisition Information:

NASCAR, Tracks To Take Look At Safety Concerns Following Fans Getting Hit By Debris
Published February 25, 2013
STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN: The N.Y. Times' William Rhoden said NASCAR has taken steps to protect the drivers in recent years, but how to protect the fans "is the big dilemma." Rhoden: "Now they've got to focus on, 'How do we protect the fans.' ... It's going to be expensive but there needs to be something" ("The Sports Reporters," ESPN, 2/24). The Wheeler Co. Chair & former SMI President & CEO Humpy Wheeler "predicts Saturday's accident may prompt track owners to raise safety fences or move fans further from the most dangerous areas." He said, "If you put the first row about 30 feet back, and about 14 feet up in the air, that would solve almost every problem you've got" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 2/25). CBS' Mark Strassman noted part of NASCAR's investigation "could include calls to reinforce the fencing or move fans farther back from the action" ("Evening News," CBS, 2/24). ABC's Linzie Janis said, "Experts tell us that increasing safety for the crowds would mean keeping them further away from the action" ("World News," ABC, 2/24). ESPN's Dale Jarrett said, "We're going to have to move the fans back a little. It's great that they have that access to be right there and see these cars stream by at close to 200 mph, but I think we're going to have to move them back" (K.C. STAR, 2/24). NBC's Janet Shamlian said there are questions whether the catchfence "is high enough and are the grandstands too close." Shamlian: "But it's that ability to almost reach and touch them that's always been part of NASCAR's culture" ("Nightly News," NBC, 2/24). Speed's Kenny Wallace: "What I'm looking for now is NASCAR to do something like they did with the 'COT,' the car of tomorrow, when we reacted to Dale Earnhardt and we got a safer car. This is the new thing I'm looking for, 'FOT,' fence of tomorrow" ("NASCAR Raceday," Speed, 2/24).
FENCE DID BEST JOB IT COULD: ESPN.com's Ed Hinton wrote the fence "did the best job, against a harsher test, that catch fencing has ever done." It was the "result of years of research and improvement, after tragedies that took fans' lives." The engine from Kyle Larson's car, and "a wheel and A-frame assembly, tore through the fence." But they "didn't go into the seats." They were "contained on the concourse area in front of the stands. That was huge" (ESPN.com, 2/23). Stewart said, "You look at the structure that we have here at Daytona, it is an awesome structure. But they will look at ways to try to make it better." Stewart: "Everything they've done at this point has made it as safe as they can do it at this time." He added, "We know that parts went into the stands. The thing that's been overshadowed is the fact that a 3,400-pound racecar went into that fence and stayed back in the racetrack side, which is what that fence is designed for." ESPN's Ray Evernham said, "That fence was designed to protect the fans and yesterday, I feel it did a pretty good job of that. There's always a risk with motorsports, and you manage that risk." Everham added, "I was very impressed with the reaction and the preparation of Joie Chitwood and his team put in in the face of something like that. The reaction was as good as I've ever seen at a racetrack" ("NASCAR Now," ESPN2, 2/24). But Speed's Tommy Kendall said, "Everybody says the fence did its job. It didn't. If you lose the Stanley Cup after blocking 99 goals and one gets through, that's not good enough. And this is life or death, so the fences have to get better." Speed's Dave Despain added, "There's not a fence that's going to stop a 3,400-pound car. Heaven forbid there be two of those cars" ("Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain," Speed, 2/24). IndyCar driver Ryan Hunter-Reay yesterday said the current catch fence "acts as a cheese grater, and the car is the cheese." Hunter-Reay: "When it gets airborne, the fence tears it up into pieces. It's an industry-wide problem and one we can fix quickly. It would be revolutionary for the sport, and it's at the forefront of what we've been talking about for five years" (USA TODAY, 2/25).
FANS NEVER COMPLETELY SAFE: ESPN's Jemele Hill said, "I'm not sure you can ever guarantee 100% safety because how can you control debris? ... I look at this as a freak accident and not necessarily an indication that there was negligence" ("The Sports Reporters," ESPN, 2/24). Driver Tony Stewart said, "It's no different than going to a baseball game or a hockey game where you have balls and pucks that end up in the stands and people can't react fast enough. It's unfortunately just part of what can happen at pro sporting events" ("NASCAR Now," ESPN2, 2/24).
CLOUD HANGS OVER FESTIVITIES: SI.com's Lars Anderson wrote what is "believed to be the highest injury toll from a race-related accident in NASCAR history cast a pall over both Jimmie Johnson's victory on Sunday in the Daytona 500 and Danica Patrick's historic afternoon." Many drivers "admitted that the Saturday carnage had left them shaken" yesterday. Even after Johnson "won and the celebratory fireworks were blasted into the sky and Johnson did a burnout on the frontstretch, there wasn't the sense of joy and excitement that usually pervades the garage and the grandstands after the most significant stock car race of the year" (SI.com, 2/24). In Charlotte, Jim Utter writes there seemed to be "an air of apprehension building" yesterday morning before the race. No one wanted to see the crash "repeated," but in the end "the racing took center stage." Utter: "NASCAR begins another job on Monday just as important as putting on its biggest race -- finding out what it can do better to protect the sport's fans" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 2/25). Also in Charlotte, Tom Sorensen writes yesterday's "opening day excitement was muted by Saturday's carnage" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 2/25). In Boston, Michael Vega writes Johnson "wrested away the spotlight by emerging as the convincing winner of a race that was largely devoid of the problems that pockmarked Daytona's previous four races" (BOSTON GLOBE, 2/25). In Orlando, Mike Bianchi writes a "historic victory" by Patrick is the "only thing that could have helped put a happy face on an otherwise horrific weekend" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 2/25).


text: Sauber: a fantastic result for the team picking up very important points 6 October, 2013 Fourth for Nico Hülkenberg in the Korean Grand Prix is the best result of the season for the Sauber F1 Team, and these 12 valuable points have moved the team up a place in the constructors' championship to seventh. The German driver showed his fighting spirit and spent most of the race fending off other cars. For Esteban Gutierrez he was just eight tenths away from scoring his first points after his race was compromised on the first lap through no fault of his own. The team now heads to next weekend's race in Japan and aims to keep up this momentum. Nico Hülkenberg: 4th Sauber C32-Ferrari (Chassis 03/Ferrari 056): Started on Supersoft tyres, after 10 and 26 laps changed to medium tyres "Today I drove one of the best races in my career so far. I have had cars in the mirrors before, but today there were a lot and it was a bit annoying. Lewis really put the pressure on at the end, especially in the last sector. I knew I needed to get out of turn one well. The car's traction was very good today, so that kept [my race] alive against Fernando and then Lewis later on. We were also very fast on the straight. I had a good start, although on the outside into turn one, which was a loss at first, but then I had a real good slip stream and was able to get past on the outside. A big thank you to the entire team for providing such an excellent car today." Esteban Gutiérrez: 11th Sauber C32-Ferrari (Chassis 04/Ferrari 056): Started on Supersoft tyres, after 8 and 31 laps changed to Medium tyres "I had a very good start, then I arrived at turn three and saw what was going on. I tried to protect my position, my rears locked and that's why I lost a couple of positions. To recover from that was quite a challenge. I had some good fights with Massa and Checo coming from the back. Of course, I wanted to score points today, but this is racing. It's a great experience and will help me to improve my race craft. We had good pace today and are definitely able to fight in the top ten." Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "I am very relieved [that] we were able to keep up our level of performance throughout the whole weekend. We went into the race with high expectations and it is a great feeling that we were able to meet these through our own strengths. Nico put in a superb performance and, once again, great fight, as it definitely was not easy to keep those cars behind him. Esteban had a difficult start, so struggled a bit more. However, all in all it is a great step ahead for the entire team and shows we are working well together at home in Hinwil and on the track." Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: "This is a fantastic result for the team, and we have picked up some very important points in the Constructors' Championship. Looking at what happened in the race, today was a right front tyre management exercise, knowing where to be quick and where to protect the car, and Nico executed that exactly as we wanted. He withstood some immense pressure from a lot of very good drivers behind him. Esteban had a great start and turn one, but was unlucky into turn three, losing track positions due to other peoples' mistakes. From that point on he came very close to scoring his first points, so can take a lot of positives from this race. We aim to carry this momentum forward to Suzuka next week. This is proof [that] the hard work being done in Hinwil is delivering on the track." Subbed by AJN.

Under party rules, delegates from Florida and Michigan can be given only a 50 percent voice in the Democratic national convention this year, according to a legal memorandum to the Democratic National Committee.
Written by lawyers for the Democratic party, it says "the committee can either seat only 50 percent of the delegates or seat them all but give them only half a vote, which amounts to the same thing," reports the New York Times. The two states are being penalized for holding their primaries too early.
The rules committee of the Democratic National Committee is expected to meet on Saturday to address the issue. Reducing the number of delegates from the two states, or discounting their votes, is expected to hurt Hillary Clinton's dwindling chance of winning the party's nomination at the Democratic annual convention in August.

'Are my bones normal doctor?' the role of technology in understanding and communicating health risks for midlife women
Green, Eileen, Griffiths, Frances and Thompson, Di. (2006) 'Are my bones normal doctor?' the role of technology in understanding and communicating health risks for midlife women. SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH ONLINE, 11 (4). -. ISSN 1360-7804
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Contemporary medical science is increasingly saturated with risk and uncertainty, uncertainty which health professionals are obliged to manage in everyday consultation situations, but which patients presenting with specific health problems, want resolution to. This paper provides an overview of literature concerning the medicalization of women's bodies via health interventions such as screening, including the role played by medical technologies in defining degrees and forms of risk and uncertainty which are embedded within and generated by the screening processes themselves. We draw upon an ESRC funded study into the use of health technologies in women's midlife, in order to demonstrate how empirical research can illuminate the links between screening for osteoporosis and the recommendation and subsequent decision by women to use therapies such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The paper explores the centrality of bone densitometry in decision-making about potential risk. Drawing mainly upon data from 24 consultations in specialist clinics, 10 follow up interviews with the women concerned and 7 interviews with linked health professionals, we focus upon the interpretation and significance of the bone scan results. We conclude that, although the technological results are open to flexible interpretation, they seem to confirm the 'at risk' status of many of the women. The scan results appear to assume centre-stage in the consultation discussions, leading both women and clinicians to over interpret their significance as an indicator of risk.
