So, back to Augusta Stagecoach Road. There's very little on the internet about it. I have Walter Edgar's massive tome on the history of SC and I don't see it mentioned in there, though I admit to not having read the entire book. From the scraps of information I was able to find, I believe it is part of the old stagecoach route from Savannah to Augusta. Nathaniel Twining, a stagecoach entrepreneur with ventures around the Southeast, announced on April 19, 1796 a stagecoach service between Savannah and Augusta. It became the first successful service between the cities. An earlier attempt, in 1786, failed in less than a year. I think Twining's route is what I was on. Travel by stagecoach lasted until approximately the decade before the civil war, when travel by train became more popular.
I was uneasy about whether I was supposed to be accessing this property. I didn't see any fresh tire tracks, and wild turkey season wasn't to begin for another week, so I chanced it. As I passed through the gate, I noticed a small sign on it but didn't stop to read it. I think it had "______ Land Company" but I'm really not sure. I saw no glaring "POSTED" or "NO TRESPASSING" signs anywhere on the property during my entire visit, and I didn't encounter anyone else, thankfully.
This piece of land was just gorgeous. I wish I'd taken more photos of the land itself instead of just the road. And there were many roads and paths offshooting the road on both sides. I was sorely tempted to do some exploring in there, but I stuck to my "pink line". The two-rut road at the beginning gave way to grassy paths, then became two-rut again, followed by a regular sandy dirt road. I had one exciting moment when I crested a hill at speed and was greeted by a hardpack eroded area with some ruts on the other side, but I stayed on the gas and made it through without incident.
At the end of this large land parcel was another open gate, though it did have a lock hanging on it. Augusta Stagecoach road continued straight ahead. [Back at home, I looked on Hampton County's website to try to determine the land's owner, but the site didn't have a GIS search (it was by name)].
Continuing on Augusta Stagecoach Road (Google Maps omits the word "Stagecoach" from it at times), I took a right on Crab Orchard Road, a dirt road that heads to the river. This road turned out to be one of the highlights of my day. It went from dirt to wide woods trails. I was again blessed by the open gate genie:
It got a little muddy in places.
When I could tell via my GPS that I was right next to the river, the trees gave way to really thick brush that someone had bush hogged nice wide paths through. These paths hugged the bends of the river, had some whoops in them, and were way fun.
The brush was so thick outside of the paths that it was hard to catch glimpses of the Savannah. I encountered this fallen tree but was able to get around it on the right side.
After 15 minutes or so of riding this section, I came upon an area where the brush was thin enough to walk through and get to the riverbank. I sat for awhile sipping water and just enjoyed being in the moment.
By now it was after noon, so I saddled back up and headed back out Crab Orchard Road.
Then I headed South on Augusta Stagecoach Road. Next up, Hamilton Ridge WMA.

What's so good?
By Jason Grishkoff | Aug 26, 2013 | Total plays: 7,853
"Cardigan" is his latest single, released by the British label Anjunadeep. We're counting ourselves lucky to have an exclusive premiere of the full length track, which features a glorious buildup and spacey female vocals. Clocking in at just over four minutes, this song is perfectly suited for a late-night dance scene, perhaps somewhere in Berlin?
If you find your interest piqued, you'll be able to grab a copy of the band's two-song EP (alongside the track "Awake") over at Beatport.

Search and view the world's best educational videos.
We're a video learning platform.
Video's at the heart of the way education is being changed by technology. This holds true for educational institutions and those who are simply curious about life.
But we think education is under-served by video technology. High quality videos are hard to find while lots of dross is pretty easy to stumble into. And searching for the pearls amid the clutter is time consuming.
In short: we think the world where video meets education "could try harder"… as your old school report used to say.
We believe Mobento can help by organizing content better, being brutal in quality control, and being top of the class in innovation.
Here's what we bring:
1) Comprehensive – Mobento video will be a one-stop hub for learning videos.
2) Quality – This is a library and a library has librarians. That's us. We'll be rigorous in only uploading high quality, fascinating videos from established academic institutions and learning organizations. For example when we launched on day one we only had 200 videos. Not many by You Tube standards but it delivers about 150 hours sourced from some of the finest speakers at Stanford, Yale, Khan Academy and TED. At Mobento, less is more.
3) Mobento Search – Since we're bringing together such a wonderful collection of video content we owe it to our users and speakers to make it properly searchable. But searching video the way we wanted to simply didn't exist. So we figured out how to make it exist. We think you'll like it. Mobento Search instantly searches the entire video library for the words that were actually spoken. We're very proud of this. In fact it's hard to believe that this won't be the standard way of searching ALL videos within the next ten years.

With the spotlight shining on the Hollywood and British talent, Cult Hub is tracking the progress of some of the younger actors to have graced the small and big screen. In the first of our series of interviews we introduce Maxwell Chase – a child actor born in Washington but relocated to Los Angeles to make his dream of becoming an actor a reality. In his first ever interview, he talks about his starring role in his first feature film Rolling, how he felt when his short The Percipient was selected at the Cannes Short Film Corner and provides some sound advice for other young actors wanted to get into the industry.
Cult Hub: Tell us a little bit about yourself?
Maxwell Chase: I grew up in Spokane, Washington with my Mom, Dad and older brother. I went to Catholic school for 6 years where I was bullied heavily because I was much smaller than all the kids in my class. In 4th grade I was the size of the 1st graders and obviously different from everyone, so in 5th grade I stopped going to school and started homeschooling. I homeschooled until last year when I finished high school and am getting ready to take college courses online in the fall. I began Tae-Kwon-Do, a Korean martial art, when I was ten and won gold medals at three tournaments in "poomsae", or forms competition. I earned my black belt in 2009 just a few weeks before moving to Los Angeles to become an actor. I'm also a huge baseball fan! My favorite teams are the Mariners and the Yankees. I also like to skateboard on my custom longboard.
CH: How did you get into acting?
MC: I couldn't tell you the day I decided I wanted to do it because I just remember always wanting to become an actor. My mother has told me that one day, out of the blue, I came home from school and said I wanted to be an actor. I couldn't pursue it at the time because I was about to under go a number of surgeries for ear reconstruction. I was born with bone deafness in my left ear as well as Microtia (a congenital deformity) causing my ear to be very small compared to my normal sized right ear. I was very self conscience of it, so my parents brought me to California to have an entirely new ear created. Then 3 years ago, my mother and I finally packed our stuff and moved to L.A. while my dad stayed in Washington to work and support my career. And here I am!
CH: What was it like taking a starring role in Rolling which focused on exploring adult themes, such as drug addiction and sexual identity, on the backdrop of a high school environment?
MC: It was actually really fun! We spent 2 weeks working from 5pm to 5am almost everyday in a very beautiful school with a fantastic crew and cast. It was interesting to work with such a talented cast who fit so perfectly into the setting, each person having a distinct and very different character from the rest. We had everything from a totally shy nerd to a narcissistic snide druggy and then there was me who plays the quiet, most normal kid in the entire film! It was definitely straining on my character, Tim, to deal with all the drama and issues that went on during the film. Drake, my opposite in the film, is a wanna be movie director who is willing to do anything to make a good movie, no mater the cost. As the movie progresses we start butting heads, putting a major strain on our friendship. I loved every second I spent with those guys. "Rolling" is soon to be released OnDemand and will be available on DVD July 17, 2012! Here's hoping for a sequel ; )
CH: The Percipient, which will be showcased at Cannes Short Film Corner later this month, is a different kind of project exploring the realms of thriller/horror. Are you experimenting different kinds of genres to see what you like to work on in the future? Will you be going to Cannes to promote the movie?
MC: I want to work on everything I possibly can in the future! As long as I am on set, working with great people, I will always be happy. I play a bully, J.R., in "The Percipient" and have had roles that are comedic and serious but what I am most interested in is much more dramatic, gritty projects. Which I will be able to start working on more as I get older.
Unfortunately, I will not be attending the film festival in Cannes this year but would like to some day. However, our producer will be there promoting "The Percipient" in hopes of making it into a full length feature .
CH: You were born in Washington but relocated to Los Angeles to become an actor in Hollywood – was it a difficult choice to make and how are you coping with the change?
MC: It was very hard to make the decision to move. It is an especially hard situation for me personally. My parents are still together, yet we are living in two seperate households, in two seperate states. My father works in Washington and my mom is a stay at home mom. My friends and family live in WA, so it's incredibly hard not being able to see them very often. I see my Dad a few times a year, he is here visiting right now in fact and I see my friends and other family members far less than that. I have made some new friends down here and I make sure I remember how hard my dad works for me to stay here, so that drives me to do the best I can.
CH: You've worked on a lot of shorts and TV shows but what would be your ideal movie role?
MC: I would like to work on a dramatic crime film about taking down a mafia boss. And, if I could choose the character, I would play a troubled cop who has been put in charge of a small group of guys who are undercover in that mob boss's gang. Real dramatic, gritty, dealing with all the stress it takes to make sure the boss thinks you're on his side, from playing favorites with him, to testing your morality for him. Seeing how far you would go do get a job done.
CH: Would you like to emulate a Hollywood actor you admire?
MC: Well I don't want to imitate anyone else's acting or performances, but I would like my career to follow the way Leonardo DiCaprio's has gone. He has been in some amazing projects, from his earlier roles in "Catch Me If You Can" and "The Departed", to his more recent projects like "Inception". All of those types of projects are genres I would be interested in working in.
CH: As well as being in front of the camera, you can be found behind it and observing other departments at work. Are you feeding your knowledge of how a group of people make a film or are you just curious?
MC: I like to see what kind of crew I am working with, I want to be able to get along with everyone and make sure our atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I want to get to know them like I get to know my fellow cast members. Because they are just as much a part of the movie as we are, and we all need to work together to make whatever project we are working on a success. I am feeding my knowledge about what goes on behind the camera as well, it takes a lot of work to make a film, and if sometime in the future something happens to a crew member, or they just need an extra hand, if I am available, I want to step in and help in whatever way I can.
CH: What do you like doing when you're not working?
MC: Same as every other teenage boy, socialize, play video games with friends, and skateboard. Me and most of my close buddies can get pretty rough with each other, which usually leads to lots of wrestling. All in good fun of course! We just like to ruffle each other up because we know we are tougher than the other. : )
CH: What advice would you give to other young actors wishing to make it in the industry?
MC: Don't do it! There is so much competition already! Haha, I'm joking! But seriously, if you do want to make it, just be yourself, take classes and take all the advise and help you can get. It's a tough business to get into, but the rewards are absolutely worth it.
CH: What is Maxwell Chase doing next?
MC: Going to classes, making sure I keep growing as both an actor and a person, getting auditions, and working here and there. Nothing big in the works right now, but there definitely will be!

ot long after news broke earlier today (March 21, 2014) that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) had parted ways with lightweight striker Melvin Guillard (details), another longtime veteran has received his walking papers.
Ivan Menjivar.
"The Pride of El Salvador" (25-12) probably saw this one coming. After jumping out to a 3-0 start in his UFC return back in 2011, the former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) standout went just 1-4 and is currently riding a three-fight losing streak.
His manager, Mitch Mayberger, talks to MMA Fighting:
"I will be feeling out offers and discussing with Ivan and his head coach Firas Zahabi and doing whatever works best for him. He is a gem of a human being and been a pleasure to work with so I will always be by his side to help accomplish any goals he has. Love the guy."

Man who stabbed woman to death in wheelchair gets life in prison
Shawn Lopez gets plea deal
BRIGHTON, Colo. - A man charged in the stabbing death of a 67-year-old woman in a wheelchair cried in front of a judge Friday and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
Shawn Lopez, who just turned 22, struck a plea deal in which the remaining 10 in the case -- including charges of sexual assault, robbery and kidnapping -- will be dropped, The Denver Post reported.
Lopez was sentenced to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole. Before he begins serving that jail sentence he will also have to serve six years for an escape charge he got while in community corrections just 12 days before the stabbing death.
The murder occurred April 25 at an Aurora shopping center at 15075 E. Colfax Avenue. According to information in arrest affidavits, Lopez told police he killed Francine Reade, "because he wanted to know what it felt like."

Hi Guys,
Now that I received the okay for this from support, I'm making a call for anyone interested in doing interviews with us at Voluted Tales Magazine.
We're a new speculative fiction ezine, read in browser, tho we may do a pdf version sometime down the road.
We've featured a couple of graphic novel interviews already and we're looking for more artists to balance out the flood of writers submitting to us.

We'll also feature live links to all of your sites, portfolios, daz and sales outlets for your work.
Ask any questions, the lines are open…

Shania Twain Arrives At Las Vegas Show On Horseback
Shania Twain arrived on horseback Wednesday (November 14) to inaugurate her two-year stint at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A crowd of several hundred people lined the famed Strip, waiting to catch a glimpse of the "Still the One" singer as she cantered along atop the glistening steed.
Earlier this summer, upon announcing the event, Twain noted that fans can expect a visual and audio feast when they attend the concert series.
"My vision is to bring the atmosphere of each song alive through multi-dimension sensory and share the journey of my life and career with the audience from a unique perspective," she said in a statement.
Twain's run, entitled "Shania: Still the One", opens December 1 at Caesars Palace's 4,300 seat Colosseum.

Melanie decides to pass on her chance at attending Johns Hopkins Medical School to be with Derwin after he is recently chosen to play for the San Diego Sabres as the new third-string wide receiver. As Melanie tries to adjust to her new lifestyle, she meets Tasha Mack (Wendy Raquel Robinson), single mother and manager of Malik Wright (Hosea Chanzes) who is a charming star quarterback for the San Diego Sabres and Kelly Pitts (Brittany Daniel), the satisfying wife of Jason Pitts (Coby Bell) who is a thrifty star player for the San Diego Sabres. With the help of Tasha and Kelly, Melanie learns how the game is played amongst the women behind the athletes. The Game originally aired on the CW before BET Networks picked it up in 2010.

Dr Oz: Hair Damage Prevention Tips
Dr Oz was joined by Jennifer Goldstein, Prevention Magazine's Beauty Editor, who said that people damage their hair every single day without even knowing it. Main culprits include styling products that give off excessive heat; another way we damage our hair is by not trimming the dead, split ends on a regular basis. Also, the more you process your hair with dyes and shampoo, the more damage you may be doing to your hair.
Dr Oz and Jennifer did a sponge experiment to demonstrate their point. Three sponges were used to represent the oil our hair contains at the ages of 30, 40, and 50. An audience member squeezed the contents of the first sponge (30- year-old hair) into a dish and a lot of oil fell out. Then the audience member squeezed the second sponge (40-year-old hair) and some oil fell out. When the audience member squeezed the third sponge, (50-year-old hair), barely any oils fell out. This demonstrated that as we get older, hair tends to dry out, giving it a lifeless, dull appearance.
Dr Oz: Damaged Hair Remedies
To keep hair from looking dull and dry, Jennifer Goldstein recommended that you not wash your hair every day. It is not necessary and frequent washing strips your hair of the natural oils. You should also never flat-iron your hair on a daily basis (one to two times per week is okay). I loved it when Jennifer, the Beauty Editor, injected that, notwithstanding the best practice, she in fact uses a flat-iron every day. I guess the tip was meant for everyone else! Jennifer also recommended a few hair products to keep your locks strong and healthy, which are as follows:
Dr Oz: Caviar Anti-Aging Shampoo
Caviar Anti-Aging Shampoo is a moisturizing shampoo that should be used in place of regular shampoo.
Dr Oz: Josie Maran's Argan Oil Hair Serum
Josie Maran's Argan Oil Hair Serum is a product that protects the hair from excessive heat that comes from blow drying and flat-ironing.
Dr Oz: Redken Time Reset Corrective Defense
Redken's Time Reset Corrective Defense is a leave- in treatment to protect the hair.
Dr Oz: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition
Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition is a triple protection conditioner that may be used after every washing.

Sep 5, 2013: It has become clear to us with time that we will not be able to complete the World at War Online due to being unable to continue to fund its development. If you ordered a copy, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can send you a refund via Paypal. Please include the name under which you placed the order. There is a small chance that we will try to complete what we have so far and release it as a free download.
May 22, 2012: Dark Blue trees are now available in the parts for all games section. The price has increased a bit due to increased production costs. We hope to have some dark green and gray trees available soon as well.
Feb 21, 2011: Deluxe World at War area control markers are now avaialble in the parts for all games section. These are twice as thick as regular axis and allies ones and they are printed on both sides. The extra thickness makes them easy to pick up (regular axis and allies ones are too thin). Dual side printing makes them easy to identify (regular axis and allies ones are blank on one side)
July 5th, 2010: Chips are now available in green and black (the black looks really slick!), in addition to red and white. We have packs of green and black available in the parts for all games section. The World at War Online continues to progress yet we still have no date on the Alpha or Beta version release.

July 8th: The alpha version of World at War Online is nearly completed. All major programming elements have been completed with the exception of server support, which will be redesigned and ready later on with the beta version.

A release date for the alpha version will be posted very soon. Xeno extends a thank you to everyone for their patience.

Dec 1: The Other Games section is re-activated, thank you for your patience.
Nov 28: IMPORTANT: We have stopped taking orders from our "Other Games" section because we have been bombarded with so many orders that we need time to pick and pack them and delete what is sold out from the database, and we do not want disappoint people ordering things that are sold out. We left access to the "Other Games" section open so that you can see what you might like to order (if it isn't sold out) once we are back up and running, but it is not presently possible to add products to the shopping cart (until we catch up). We are most definately sold out of Queens Gambit, and will ship the ones we have to the orders received first. We hope to be back up and running to take orders by the morning of Dec 1rst, and sincerely thank everyone for their interest and apologize for the inconvenience.

Aug 27: Xeno's oversized World at War Custom Map is completely sold out and no longer available. We did find some copies of the Classic Map which has been unavailable for years, and have made it available in the Xeno Products section on the left.

Well, it's nearly six months into the new year and we already have seen some wonderful (and less than wonderful) baby names from top celebrities world-wide. Below, Mallory Moss, co-founder of BabyNames.com, lists the most recent contenders for best baby names of 2015.
Now that we know the most eagerly awaited baby name of the century, I, co-founder of Babynames.com, will break the name down in meaning and popularity... and let's not forget heart.
In honor of the second child of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, we've rounded up up the favorite hotels of the British royal family -- from the spot where Kate spent her wedding eve, to the Queen's go-to Caribbean getaway.
As the baby countdown gets underway with the commencement of Kate's maternity leave, speculation abounds as to the baby's intended name.
With the coming of Spring 2015, we're noticing more and more baby bumps. Mallory Moss, co-founder of BabyNames.com, presents her list of the most eagerly awaited celebrity babies. From weeks to months, these babies are on their way to stardom!
In 2001, Prince William and Kate Middleton were students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The art history majors (William would change hi...
Children are not replicants. Naming people after relatives gives them a persona before developing their own. Both girls and boys need to have their own journey in life and that means creating the mystique associated with their names.
2014 was a year of significant progress for the environment. To be sure, we still face plenty of very daunting challenges (you know the list). But there was also a lot of very significant progress to celebrate. Around the world, governments, businesses, nonprofits, and communities successfully came together to protect nature in a big and powerful way.
In case you missed the media frenzy on the coma box in your living room, Prince William and Kate were in New York City recently to hang out and see a play. But it's not what they did in NYC that was interesting. It's how they got there.
The fight to save the world's wildlife is about much more than the beauty of the animals or the illegal activity that would destroy them. Our wildlife is essential to preserving the biodiversity of our world and to expanding our understanding and appreciation of human and animal life and evolution.
This past Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge swept into New York City for a whirlwind three-day trip. They met Jay-Z, Beyonce and LeBron James at a Brooklyn Nets versus Cleveland Cavaliers Basketball game in Brooklyn.
It is true and it did happen just a few days ago: Julian's Auction Beverly Hills has put up for auction a slice of Prince William and Duchess Catherine's 2011 wedding fruit cake.
I think that Kate and William wipe snotty noses and get up for night feedings just like the rest of us. And because I wish someone had given me more information about what it's like to be a parent of two, I'm sharing a few unsolicited words of warning.
Like every mama with HG, she'll blame herself for this. No matter how much she wants this baby, she'll feel guilty. George's life will change, and Kate will miss precious time with him. And that's perhaps worse than the sickness: being stuck in bed when your child needs you.
World Elephant Day is recognized on August 12, an appeal to all global citizens to help conserve and protect elephants from the numerous threats they face. A few days after learning of the death of Satao I met up with beloved scientist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall to discuss the elephant crisis.

Stylish Dress Book - Dress 'N'
Rock & Roll Rachel. The muted red tones with a hint of gold and orange are just lovely.
Stylish Dress Book. It is very straightforward and fast to make. I only recently purchased this book and am already planning a few projects with it. I purchased the English version of it, and while I don't have a problem with using any Japanese patterns books, it is nice being able to read the text :)
Happy sewing!

The GBA has been good to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, which has seen several new games appear every year for a while now. Most of these have been straight interpretations of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, with one of the key exceptions being last year's Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards, which introduced an overlying RPG element to the standard card battling action. We got to check out the upcoming sequel to The Sacred Cards, Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, and it looks to be following closely in its predecessor's footsteps.
The demo we played put us in the role of an unnamed duelist who joins up with Yugi and his best friend Joey to recover various millennium artifacts that have been scattered across the globe in order to defeat an evil entity known as Reshef the Dark Being. As we ran around the game, with chubby little versions of Yugi and Joey following dutifully behind us, we noticed that the game's visual feel was similar to many 2D Japanese RPGs we've played before, including the brightly colored environments and superdeformed character sprites.
Wandering around town, we talked with various NPCs, and found a budding young duelist who was itching for a match. This introduced us to what appeared to be the game's main battling mechanic, which essentially emulates a standard Yu-Gi-Oh! card game. As we dueled, we noticed that the presentation seemed a little more simplified than what has been seen in dedicated Yu-Gi-Oh! card games for the GBA, though the mechanics still worked fine.
It looks like those who have already had their way with Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards should know what to expect from Reshef of Destruction, and with the game's June 29th release date, they won't have to wait long to see it for themselves. Stay tuned to GameSpot for further coverage of this GBA RPG.

The H.U.G. The Hypsizygus ulmarius Garden Patch, Hypsizygus ulmarius
Moderately Easy to start this variety.
A great ally for most garden vegetables, this aggressive Garden Oyster mushroom unlocks nutrients from straw, sawdust, and organic debris, feeding the roots of underlying plants. Ideal for over-wintering and mulching, or early Spring planting where straw is overlaid, the HUG kit is a natural way to recycle nutrients and grow gourmet mushrooms at the same time.

ATTRACTIVE yields offered in the two-year bond auction on Wednesday was greeted by investors' deep appetite, reflecting the sign of steady liquidity in the economy.
Results posted by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) show that 35bn/- was offered, but it was oversubscribed to 160.82bn/-, which is five times more. The government, however, took the same amount offered for tendering. Yields increased slightly to 14.29 per cent compared to 14.26 per cent in December.
The rate has been one of the major determinants that drew attention of investors in government papers. The returns above the inflation rate of 12.1 per cent as of December, last year, has also been the factor behind outstanding performance of the bonds.
Continued over subscription on government securities in recent days portray healthy liquidity as more cash chase few investment opportunities. Ninenteen bids emerged successful out of 97 received, an indication that some bidders tendered below the price offered by the bank.
The highest bid price was 89.7/-, lowest 82.09/- while minimum successful price was 88.52/-. The Central Bank has been applying tight liquidity measures as a way of curbing inflation, although it has been used cautiously to ensure equilibrium in the market.
Pension Funds, insurance and few micro-finance institutions which are among the key players in the long-term instruments expected to make a significant showcase in a bond with considerable market turnout. But most of the commercial banks make part of the giant investors and dealers in the short-term maturities with over 60 per cent market share.

Claire Beale: The long, hard road to creativity takes time
By Claire Beale, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 13 September 2012 08:00AM
I love Malcolm Gluck's account in last year's D&AD Copy Book, which described the long, leisurely process of advertising creation at DDB 20-odd years ago.
When faced with a brief, Gluck would first write down several dozen possible opening lines of copy, before committing one to the virgin sheet of saffron-yellow paper sitting in his typewriter. Then he'd write down pretty much everything he could think of around the subject in question.
What followed was a rhythm of working that was mostly characterised by pauses when he did everything but (consciously) work. He'd tackle the Times crossword, "organise an evening with a distant young lady", have a three-hour lunch – "several bottles of lovely wine were consumed (with possibly Calvados to follow)" – after which he'd discard anything he'd already written (it was "tosh") and begin the whole process all over again the next day and for several days.
After a few more weeks of mulling, the results were pretty promising. In fact, this way of working produced creative excellence the like of which we don't see too often any more, Gluck reckons: "I have not seen a print ad or a TV or cinema commercial in the last 20 years which would have been signed off at DDB (let alone the early AMV or CDP)."
Advertising agencies can't generally afford to work like that any more. We live in a world defined by digital deadlines and constant connectedness; time has become a luxury. Yet great creativity can't be turned on on-demand.
It's so interesting to read about Dave Dye's creative process in answering a recent brief from D&AD (page 28). Long lunches, the Times crossword and flirting with women don't figure in his account, but he too spent several weeks not answering the brief.
Dye was invited to come up with a treatment for the cover of D&AD's 50th-anniversary Annual. That's a big deal. But 49 other people were also invited to submit a design; only one would be chosen. So it's an even bigger deal, particularly when the other 49 include such people as Rankin, Paul Smith and John Hegarty. Dye spent ages sweating over the one-word brief: "Creativity." After a whole "fantastically irritating" month, he'd got nowhere. Except that getting nowhere in the end got him exactly where he needed to be. A month of sweating, followed by two hours of feverish brain-dumping, and there it was: a creative idea all about looking for a creative idea.
It's fascinating to see the creative process as the end result rather than the route to the result. And it's good to be reminded that though advertising is now more about fast-turnaround and instant results than long lunches and crossword distractions, allowing yourself time to percolate away at an idea can still produce the best creative results, even if it's the sound of a deadline whizzing past that actually forces the idea out.

Residents of Southwark and Lambeth are benefiting from a radical new approach to 'joining up' services across the NHS and local authority social care.
This week Southwark and Lambeth Integrated Care goes live across six local 'Community Multidisciplinary Teams'. This one of the first major schemes of its kind 'integrating care' in the UK and includes a multi-million pound investment in preventative community services. Local people have already had a major role in shaping our vision and will continue to have a leading role as members - all are invited to become involved through a Citizen's Forum, which meets for the first time on February 18th.
Sir Ron Kerr, Chief Executive of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Senior Responsible Officer for the programme, said:
"Integrated Care is an opportunity to transform care and experiences for our local population. Our local hospitals are committed to working jointly with community colleagues to help keep people healthier. We hope that, as a result, people won't need to come to hospital as often. "
Dr Femi Osonuga, Jo Cleary and Sir Ron Kerr are leading the programme as joint chairs of the Integrated Care Programme Board.

Well, I got to aci machine Tool sales and service and the beaver wasn't too bad and still was a good deal but he had like eight bridgeports lined up. The beaver was a little big and the motor looked smaller than the bridgeport. So the guy gave me a deal on one of the series ones he had. It has the 2j2 head on it with variable speed and power downfeed. It also came with a power feed on the x that needs just a little work and glass DROs on the x and y but there missing the display but I have been looking and you can get one for pretty cheap. Even if its not the same brand all you have to do is change the pin out to match the machine. I ended up getting the mill for $1500.
Mark showed me around the place he had everything. CNC everthing he used to be an SOT and produce machine guns. He was working on a bowling ball cannon when I came he had the barrel in one of his CNC lathes. He put the mill on the back of my truck for me with a huge forklift. Then I went to cincinnati to eat at pappadeaux spent the night then headed back home.
To move the machine I used a 2 ton engine hoist and a come along. I backed my truck up the hill then put the lift up to the head removed it then put it on a dolly in garage. Then I took the ram off with the lift. After that the hardest part started I got some chain, bolts and washers and used the X that holds the ram to lift the rest. I backed my truck in my garage and lifted it off the bed then drove the truck out from under it. I got it all put together then a couple days later cleaned it up really good I don't have any pics of that but I will post them later.

Apple vs. Samsung juror: Knew after first day that Samsung had wronged Apple
Manuel Ilagan, one of the jurors in the landmark U.S. Apple vs. Samsung trial, which resulted in a sweeping $1 billion victory for Apple yesterday, has revealed that they, the jury, knew after the first day that Samsung had wronged Apple. The revelation comes as Ilagan began speaking to CNET's Greg Sandoval about what was going through the jury's mind during the trial and the deliberation that followed.
Well, there were several [pieces of compelling evidence]. The e-mails that went back and forth from Samsung execs about the Apple features that they should incorporate into their devices was pretty damning to me. And also on the last day they showed the pictures of the phones that Samsung made before the iPhone came out and ones that they made after iPhone came out. Some of the Samsung executives they presented on video from Korea, I thought they were dodging the questions. They didn't answer one of them. They didn't help their cause.
The jury not only found Samsung in violation of several Apple patents, but in willful violation, which could potential increase damages in the post-trial phase that follows. Samsung will try to get the decision reversed or the damages lowered, Apple will try to get Samsung devices banned and the damages as much as trebled in some areas.
While a jury in one case, in one jurisdiction can't be extrapolated into the larger, world wide Apple vs. Samsung patent dispute, the narrative Apple was able to tell, the momentum given to them by the victory, and what Ilagan is revealing about this jury's take on the strength of Apple's case should be carefully considered by all parties going forward.
CNET's interview with Manuel Ilagan is ongoing. You can follow along via the link below.

Apple vs. Samsung juror: Knew after first day that Samsung had wronged Apple
Reading this, I'm siding with Apple. If Samsung's Device's natural evolution went similar to Apple's, then yes. But with these emails, and Samsung's unwillingness to talk, I feel Apple was right.
Apple has insane patent ideas, as in saying "A tap is a zero length swipe" but still, this is willful copying according to those emails.
Hey Rene, I'd love to hear your take on this quote By Jury member Ilagan about Velvin Hogan, Patent Owner.
--"According to Ilagan, jury foreman Velvin Hogan helped make the decision process easier for the jury, imparting his wisdom as a patent owner. "After that it was easier."
--"He (Illagan) says the jury were "debating heavily" on the first day of deliberation — in particular when it came to the bounce back and pinch-to-zoom patents."--
--"I was thinking about the patents, and thought, 'If this were my patent, could I defend it?' " Hogan recalled. "Once I answered that question as yes, it changed how I looked at things."--
--""We felt like we were 100 percent fair, but we wanted something more than a slap on the wrist."--
Doesnt it seem a bit like a Jury of One? In such a technical case full of complicated and foreign ideas to most (Patents, FRAND, Competition) then it seems extremely odd to have 3weeks of information get decided on within 48hrs. So it seems like Velvin Hogan really put himself in the position to dictate what people should say rather than deliberate it so I'm not sure if he overstepped his role or if this is simply how every jury trial goes.
It seems that having a patent owner on the jury is like having OJ on a murder trial. Samsung should've dismissed him during Jury selection because his role as foreman most likely influenced the entire verdict and gave a gigantic reason for an appeal.
I disagree with what i think is your main point: "having a patent owner on the jury is like having OJ on a murder trial". It is not easy to understand how patents work, and having someone with experience can help clarify what can seem unnecessarily complicated. Indeed, it is important to avoid simply reacting on a gut level to perceived similarities and differences in the products in this case. The case is about patent infringement, and you have to look at what the specific patent language says, and how well the ideas behind the dispute (appearance, icons, gestures, overall functionality) are represented in that language, and at the Samsung devices that are claimed to infringe.
By way of background, I too am a patent owner, and I have to say that I despise patent language because intellectual property attorneys make it so arcane that it seems to be deliberately obfuscatory. Like that last sentence, which just means lawyers make it complicated on purpose, as though they WANT infringement cases to go to court so that they can make more money prosecuting them.
Anyway, I think that having a patent owner on the jury made the jury much more competent, and in no way implies bias. Patent owners are not all morally bankrupt; those owners who actually did invent something have a legal right to protect their invention from thieves and copycats. I think it is obvious that Samsung copied, but I have no idea whether Apple's patents are written well enough (and early enough) to legally protect their invention from free copying. There is another aspect to the case: if Samsung is found to have willfully infringed, they are subject to triple damages. The jury decided on the amount of damages, and there is another phase where the willfulness issue will be decided.
Do I think Samsung copied iPhone in its first iterations of the galaxy line? Yes
But I still think the damages awarded were too much. Too much. Considering the jury also dismissed FRAND licenses, which Apple has flatly refused to pay.
I think this sets a very bad precedence for Android OEM's in general, since this means that Apple will be more aggressive towards everyone.
Again on FRAND, isn't it the same issue that made Motorola/Google bear arms and take them to court? Apple should learn to pay what it owes.
And as an outsider looking in, the USA needs to fix it's patent system.
That's my understanding as well. Moto has some FRAND, but also some proprietary patents to litigate. Proprietary would be apples-to-apples.
Apple didn't refuse to license Samsung's FRAND patents, as far as I know. Samsung wanted a cross-license as part of the deal, which they're not entitled to. FRAND means fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory. It doesn't mean extort proprietary patents under threat of standards-essential patents.
But still, we all have to agree, the amount of money awarded to Apple was too much!! A billion? In my opinion, I thought it would go the South Korean way where both parties were awarded damages
Samsung isn't some garage operation. A billion dollars to get a headstart to becoming the world's largest smartphone manufacturer is a bargain.
Extort is an absurdly loaded word. Cross-licensing is a standard part of most patent deals, FRAND or otherwise. Samsung has every right to seek to negotiate their inclusion in the deal with Apple. Doing so is neither fair nor unreasonable; given that most (if not all) members of the 3G consortium cross-license patents as part of their participation, it can hardly be considered discriminatory, either. Apple, for their part, has every right to insist on an all-cash deal if they value their patents more highly.
Apple has not refused to license, but to date they have not paid, either. This is not entirely their fault, as Samsung has undoubtedly not demanded full payment because they are still holding out hope they can get Apple to throw some patents in. At some point, Apple is going to have to pay 2-3% royalties to Samsung for use of these patents, or some lesser amount (free-1%?) plus a few patents. It is not mafioso behavior; it is a pure business negotiation.
That wouldn't change the need to award damages then. It just wouldn't be as large of damages as a proprietary patent (though the FRAND patents in most case are on real technology and not simple concepts that would be implemented in five different ways).
Ahhh, the comment areas in blogs are on fire today with rabid Fandroids. I have a real hard time believing these people are actually being serious with some of their comments... and have to wonder if they have ever understood the word hypocrite.
Why does a person's attachment to their device turn them into such a monster? Brain off, keyboard on.. lets get to trollin' I guess.
There are people who stare the obvious in the face and still find a reason to twist reality. Its worse than sports! People actually believe Apple was the only one using their patents. I have read hundreds that now assume our legal system is BS and the jury was bought off.. yet they feel the actions by the Korean courts were perfect.
If you don't get upset that these people are your fellow human beings, you have to laugh at them. Many still throw out the iSheep and Fanboy thing without a thought on how bad their own fanboyism is showing.
I wonder how far this will go. I need to stop reading comment areas I guess... now when I see someone with an Android phone I immediately assume they are dumb... though I realize the worst of them are the uber techies who make up probably .00001% of the smartphone buying population.
Apple wants it to not look like an iPhone. Doesn't seem unreasonable.
Porsche makes some fugly stuff.
I was with you rightt till your last paragraph, assuming everyone with an android device is dumb is quite fanboyish/troll statement, makes me "wonder if [you] have ever understood the word hypocrite?" Those kind of statements are childish.
Samsung honestly copied the iPhone initially with their older deviecs and its no surprise they lost. I'm looking forward to seeing real innovative products from samsung. No one can deny the beast phone the Samsung galaxy S iii is and it does have a list of nifty features. People have switched from their iPhone 4 and 4s to the SGSiii and like it better than their iPhones it comes down to preference.
Its going to be very interesting to see what the official final look and specs of the new iPhone will be and what the differences will be in terms of software and hardware, its propsed to be thinner with a larger screen. Apple changed the game before and continues to be a trailblazing company with innovative ideas. I'm a little unclear why they changed their mind about 7" tablets since they really shot down the idea before but a 4" screen will be very appealing on the new phone.
And its also going to be interesting to see what, believe-it-or-not, BlackBerry 10 is going to be like, all I've seen so far is crazy screen res., highest html5 test scores, and the new OS ability to read a large amount of different code. Apps can be ported very very easily and it runs "android apps better than android." Be real its not too little too late, the Bold 9900 is a good smartphone and has impressive updates from their previous OS (5, 6) but it comes short of the spectactular UI of the higher end android devices and iPhone OS's. RIM has one opportuinity to make the introduction of BB10 smartphones impressionable.
The industry changes quickly but its good for the consumers to have better choices. To point back to the OP innovation can be inspired from anywhere but copying is imitation and "imitation is the best form of flattery." Even though I'm poking fun at hypocracy, imitation to a certain degree is justifyable in a minor sense but blatent copying is offensive, Samsung really should have made the right changes to avoid this complete mess.
Some of the patents granted to companies are ridiculous. Sorry long post
Before Samsung even needs to appeal, these jury comments are giving Samsung ample ammunition to file a Rule 50 challenge [ http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_50 ] that the jury was not behaving reasonably. In a separate interview, the jury foreman [ http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/08/25/us-apple-samsung-juror-idINBRE8... ] seems to tell a different story of the deliberations than Ilagan. He also said the jury "wanted to make sure the message we sent was not just a slap on the wrist" to Samsung, which would suggest the jury either did not read or ignored Judge Koh's instructions (repeated twice, in sec 35 and 53) that damages are purely to compensate losses and not to punish the infringer. That, combined with the inconsistencies in the jury's first set of answers -- awarding damages for products they deemed not infringing -- would suggest the jury might have been playing a little fast and loose with both instructions and damages, giving Samsung room to try and throw the case out.
That is not to say Samsung would *win* such a motion, but there seems ample grounds here for them to try.
--"He also said the jury "wanted to make sure the message we sent was not just a slap on the wrist" to Samsung, which would suggest the jury either did not read or ignored Judge Koh's instructions (repeated twice, in sec 35 and 53) that damages are purely to compensate losses and not to punish the infringer."--
That's a very good point. it does seem like decisions were made prior to deliberations and that a vendetta was in action based on how quickly they got to a decision. I'm feeling that Velvin Hogan (Patent Holder, Juror, Jury Foreman) had heavily pushed his opinions on everyone else rather than allowed them to have a debate about it.
I'm not saying Apple should have won or lost. I'm saying that an overly influential juror is the only explanation on how so many individual infringements could be unanimously shot down in such a small amount of time. My mom is a brilliant woman, but if she was confronted with a situation like this that is over her head she would easily trust a fellow jurors opinion over some lawyer for a multi billion dollar company.
Given that this whole case was never about the money but more about sending a message to Samsung and the other phone manufacturers, it would be great if Apple would give most or all of the damages awarded to charity. They don't need the money and it would really help to prove the point that it was never about that.
I haven't seen the Groklaw links around here, but anyone who thinks the manner in which this has been judged by the jury is fair should have a read: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=2012082510525390&repost=1
Basically, it seems there are necessary questions to be asked of the jurors, and the result, and Apple's case may not be nearly as strong as made out above.
Before going on a typically long rant, let me state that even the most pro-Samsung observers have to concede that Samsung has been trying to ape Apple's trade dress. (They are getting away with the Galaxy Nexus and S3.) However, the jury's behavior seems ripe for appeal. Some of these thoughts are from the groklaw article DM52 linked, and some are simple observations. (Disclaimer: I am not a Lawyer)
1) Illgan's interview suggests they glossed over discussion of prior art -- something central to Samsung's defense -- because it was "bogging them down," and that they relied heavily on Hogan's experience with his own patent to get through elements quickly. Hogan's patent [ http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7352953.html ] seems to be essentially for a DVR with add-on storage, filed 4 years after patents from TiVO and others on related DVR components, and makes no such reference to their 4-year old patents (or three year old on-the-market products) as relevant. In his interview with the SJ Merc, Hogan said he approached Apple's validity claims as "If this were my patent, could I defend it? -- Once I answered that question as yes, it changed how I looked at things." [ http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_21400423/jury-foreman-apple-v-sam... ] Since I am not a lawyer, I am not sure how much of this is admissible in forthcoming arguments, but, given the jury has stated they skipped much of the discussion of prior art, deferring to Hogan's patent experience, which by definition exists outside of the facts of the case. Moreover, Hogan's patent experience seems...questionable with regard to prior art, so Samsung would seem to have some meat to chew on.
2) The speed of the deliberations. The jury deliberated for 21 hours on 700 questions. If you assume the filled out the first question the moment they entered the room, and took no time out for bathroom breaks, requesting things of the bailiff, rest, or to read a single line of Judge Koh's 109-page instructions, simple math means they averaged one question every 1 minute and 48 seconds. While Hogan's comments about "sending a message" suggests they did not read the judge's instructions, I still find it hard to believe they could come up with solid decisions, much less make calculations as to damages, on each product in that amount of time -- unless they had begun to make those decisions beforehand.
3) While speed itself is probably not a guarantee of inappropriate behavior, the errors along with it suggest the jury did not take adequate time considering the case. The jury, for example, ruled the Samsung Intercept was worth $2 million dollars in damages, even though they had earlier ruled it did not infringe anything. (Numerous errors like these were why the damages award was adjusted after initial reporting.) If they jury cannot keep track of their own decisions from point to point, how can one believe any basis of their calculations?
4) I think one part of the jury's decision was a genuine desire to help Samsung, but, again, it skirts the law. The Epic 4G [ http://goo.gl/xlSGh ] was found to infringe Apple's design patents to the tune of $130,180,894, despite the fact that it has a big logo, hardware buttons, and hardware keyboard. The Galaxy Tab 10.1, which arguably started the whole mess, was found not to be infringing (though was found to be damaging, another error from #3), despite being one heckuva lot more like an iPad that the 4G was like any model iPhone, ever. This suggests to me that the jury, rather than considering just the facts, wanted to slap Samsung down for past behaviors, but leave them relatively unencumbered to do things in the future as long as they work around Apple -- which might laudable as a point of principle, but not something a jury is allowed to do, and seems like a valid point of challenge. (And, now that I think about it, one that could backfire on Samsung, badly.)

In a sense, um... yeah. Game companies have gotten the art of rewarding down to a science-- every great videogame out there lately is really terrific at balancing the challenge of playing with a suitable reward, whether that be an amazing headshot (along with sound and graphics, usually), epic loot, or just a shiny bit of treasure. That's why we play these things.
So are you being exploited for your money when you hear about Zul'Aman and decide to keep paying monthly to stick around and pay it? No more than when the grocery stores exploit you for profit when you buy food, or when Starbucks exploits you for a tall when you want it. You decide when and where to spend your time and money, and if you'd rather not be "exploited" by Blizzard, you have the right to quit.
Obviously, I don't think what Blizzard's doing is unethical. They're doing their best to make an involving and addictive game. And the reason they're doing that is because that's exactly what we want. Fortunately, as Terra Nova points out, The Age has included a hot nelf pic, so their piece isn't a complete waste of time.

Treasurers today hear the same demands over and over: Get
outside your group, add strategic value to the C-suite and board of
directors and, of course, do more with less. But how?
Tom Kelley, general manager of leading design firm IDEO, will
offer advice to help treasurers innovate when he speaks at the AFP Annual Conference,
October 16.
A self-described "innovation practitioner" whose company's
successes include PNC's popular Virtual Wallet and Bank of
America's "Keep the Change" program, Kelley understands that
treasurers want to innovate but often get caught up in critical
day-to-day tasks. "The problem with innovation lives in what
Stephen Covey would call Quadrant Two: It's the important, but not
urgent stuff," said Kelley. "And the nature of work life today is
there's a lot of urgent stuff every day, and so it's tempting to
set some of that innovation aside.
"And yet, innovation happens."
Kelley believes treasurers should rely on "cross-pollination"
for inspiration-getting ideas from other countries, other cultures
and, most important, other generations. "For the first time in
human history, you need mentors that are not five or 10 or 20 years
older than you. Now you need mentors that are five or 10 or 20
years younger than you," he said. "I call them reverse mentors. I
actually have two reverse mentors, learning from people who are
less experienced than me but have different experiences."
Reverse mentors are the single best way to help translate ideas
into action, Kelley believes. "I have had hundreds of people say to
me, 'Oh, Tom, I tried out the reverse mentor thing and, man, does
that work,'" he said.
As for providing value to CEOs and the board, Kelley knows that
treasurers have plenty of data to share. But he believes that's not
want executives want-at least, not necessarily in raw form. Rather,
treasurers need to tell a story with their information.
"My firm was slow to come around to story-telling, too," Kelley
confided. "It is a really, really important skill in which you take
the numbers and you craft it into a message that is memorable, that
is accessible to the CEO-who may not be a finance professional.
"We used to think that data should speak for itself, but data is
very perishable," he added. "You tell an audience even a single
number, seven digits or less, and they start to forget it right
away. But we-all of us-are carrying around stories that we heard
even in early childhood."
Tom Kelly of IDEO will speak at AFP's Annual Conference in
Miami on October 16 at 8:30 am.

Getting into frozen car door locks?

sometimes it helps using the door on the other side. Had that problem last winter: the passenger side door was less affected than the drivers one. and way too often it's not the lock that freezes but the mechanism inside the door and the part that makes contact with the cars frame. so be sure to apply lots of grease to the whole mechanism. And apply some vaseline or smiliar to the door gaskets, as the tend to freeze too. the more the merrier. and the better they seal, the less moisture you'll get into your door. Depending on your car it may makes sense to add an additiional outside seal to the door, so that less water can enter the door lock mechanism.
if you have the problem every day I guess the only thing that really helps is drying the shit out of that door. And then you can thinkg about on how to prevent new moisture entering it. but first of all you need to get rid of what's already inside.
