In Premiere Pro CS5 Essential Training, author Chad Perkins shows not only how to edit video with Premiere Pro, but he also explains how to use video to tell compelling stories. This course covers the Premiere Pro workflow from a high level, providing a background on how projects go from start to finish before diving into basic clip adjustments, such as color correcting scenes for more dramatic impact, applying transitions effectively, and slowing down and speeding up clip playback. The course includes creative techniques, such as making titles and removing a green screen background from a shot. Exercise files are included with the course.
In this movie, we're going to look at making the most basic of video edits and these edits that we're going to look at in this movie are actually the most common techniques that you will be using as you edit video, even when you get super pro and everything. Most of what we are going to be doing is we are going to be taking this clip here, this RideBy clip, and we are going to be trimming off some of this stuff in the beginning. We are also going to be trimming up the end a little bit as well. So what I am going to do is I am going to move my Current Time Indicator around this B-roll_ RideBy clip. We'll start at the beginning. As you can see, it takes a little while for the camera to kind of get situated and the bikers are way in the background and they stay there for a while, and this is very common with video clips because it's customary on a video shoot or a film shoot for the cameras to start rolling and then for the director to yell "action!" and start everything in motion afterwards.
So it's very common that the first few seconds, even the first few minutes, of a take are just kind of junk that you got to get rid off. So I am going to move my Current Time Indicator, and this is referred to a scrubbing by the way. So I am dragging my Current Time Indicator around and I get a live update while that's happening, even though not too much is going on. Then I am going to move this out to about here. This looks like a good spot. There is already action kind of happening, so the viewer doesn't have to wait for these bicyclists to kind of get into view here. So maybe around 12 seconds and 21 frames in, that's where I want to start this footage.
So we need to trim off all of this section right here. Get rid of that. So what we are going to do is make sure we have the regular black arrow selected from the Tools panel. You might have noticed earlier in this chapter, I had this docked to the right-hand side. That's actually where I prefer it to be. I'll talk about how to do that in the next movie on the interface. But what we want to do here if wherever your tools are, is select the black arrow, and that's the tool that you want to have most of the time. It is very versatile tool and it changes based on what's going on. So as I put the Selection tool over the beginning part of this clip on the left-hand side here, you'll see that it kind of changes to be this red bracket.
It kind of looks like a bow and arrow. Now what I am going to do is I am going to leave my Current Time Indicator where it is because I can use that as a guide and as a helper when I am cutting. So I am going to get this icon and then click-and-drag to the right and by the way, you want to make sure you don't have this icon. See how the red bracket is pointing the other way? That's bad stuff. That's actually going to trim the end of this clip, which is totally fine. So I am going to go back in and get that correct icon, drag to the right. You notice through my program monitor up here, I am getting a live update as I am trimming this.
So it's showing me what the new first frame of this clip is going to be. Well, I actually don't really need to worry about that because I put my Current Time Indicator where I wanted this edit to be. So what I can do is go over here and as we get close to it, it would be like the suction cup that just sucks it up and that will indicate to us that we are actually now on that same line, that same frame, with the Current Time Indicator. So we can let go of the mouse and then we have this big gap in footage. So if we scrub this now, it's totally black and empty.
So what we need to do is click-and-drag on this clip and move it to the left to make it come on earlier. Now again, we are getting this vertical black line that you could see and what this is, this is the snap feature. This is the same thing that we just saw with the Current Time Indicator, although the red line of the Current Time Indicator kind of hit it. But as we move around, you notice that these black lines all around the clip at the beginning and the end are snapping to other key points in the Timeline. So what I want to do is I want to line this up right there so that the first frame of this clip goes to the last frame of the B-roll_train clip that precedes it and our program monitor should look like it does now over here.
It should look like that with the train on the left-hand side and then we can let go. The snap feature is very handy. Make sure that your clips are all lined up and you don't have big blank gaps in your presentation, and this snap feature is controlled here by this little magnet. If you ever want to turn it off to get some more precise control, just click it to turn if off, but almost all the time, I leave this feature on. I really enjoy-- especially as a new user you want to leave that there. The next thing we need to do is trim the end because it's a little bit too long now.
As we will learn in video editing as we go through this training series, we will learn that long clips are not a good thing and in the world of video, ten seconds is a very long time. So what we are going to do is grab the end of this clip and we are going to trim it in the same way we trim beginning of the clip. Click on the end and drag it to the left and we are going to move this until the end is lined up with the cut point below it down here, and we'll get again the snap line and then we can let go and now we have made a complete edit. We have gotten rid of the junk at the beginning of the clip and we have made it so that the clip that we are seeing here is the most exciting part of the clip and again, as we'll talk about later, that is really the key of video editing.
We don't want our viewers to sit here and look at the most boring part of our clip when we have got more juicy stuff to show them. So this is the good stuff and now this is what's part of our presentation. The best of the best is what we are going for in editing.

GATES: I met a young captain on my first visit to Afghanistan at a forward operating base, Tillman, right on the Pakistani border. And I was walking with him and he was training Afghans, he was building roads, he was meeting with village elders, he was providing basic services, and he was fighting a war. And I turned to him and I said, "be hell of a thing go back trying to sell shoes now, wouldn't it?" And the complexity of the job that we have given these young people, and the amazing thing is how these young captains and NCOs have risen to the occasion.
This is a war that is being fought at the local level by lower level officers and NCOs and troops. The generals can set the umbrella, can set the stage in terms of the overall strategy. But whether it works or not in a way I think not seen before in war, it really depends on what these younger officers and NCOs and their troops are doing.
McFADDEN: Speaking of commanding officers, I want to ask you just now that the dust is settled, General McChrystal, I know that you suggested his appointment to the President, I know that you believed that he was the right man to lead us in Afghanistan. And my impression is that you were hoping that the President wouldn't fire him. Now, six months later, was he the right man for Afghanistan?
GATES: I think he was the right man, and the truth of the matter is General Petraeus has, I think, in significant ways continued the campaign plans that General McChrystal put together.
McFADDEN: What went wrong?
GATES: What happened was was an unfortunate thing, a tragedy in many ways.
McFADDEN: Do you understand why it happened?
GATES: No, not really.
McFADDEN: Have you talked to him?
GATES: Ah, not since he retired, no.
McFADDEN: So it's...
GATES: But but I think we were very fortunate, and I will say, I mean one of my concerns was that losing General McChrystal would be a big setback in our effort in Afghanistan. And again, we have all these tens of thousands of young people out there with their lives on the line. And it was actually the President who suggested to me, well how about sending Petraeus out there? And that, for me, said okay, we will not lose ground in this war if we send Dave Petraeus out there.
McFADDEN: Do you think the President did the right thing in firing McChrystal?
GATES: I think so. The truth of the matter is General McChrystal took responsibility for this on himself. He behaved, I thought, with extraordinary integrity.
McFADDEN: Tough situation.
GATES: Very. Welcome to Washington.
McFADDEN: I mean you always are the Washington outsider, yet you've been there 40 years running the joint! How's that work?
GATES: [laughter] Well I think...
McFADDEN: I mean every speech you start with a little kick in the pants to Washington, right?
GATES: Well that's because it's a guaranteed laugh every place in the country.
McFADDEN: Yeah.
GATES: I mean Will Rogers used to say, I don't make jokes, I just watch -- I just watch the government and report the facts! [laughter] And, so you know, I mean they're cheap laugh lines, but you know my...
McFADDEN: How do you really feel about Washington, Mr. Secretary?

Little People Dealing With Big People Problems
The journey from infancy through childhood and adolescence to adulthood is already difficult and confusing enough for both parents and children. Add the volatility of a father struggling with the ravages of Combat Trauma, and you've got a truly mystifying voyage.
The primary instinct of every parent – especially of mothers – is to protect their children. But within your heart this instinct is competing with several others as well: to be supportive, honoring and protective to your husband, to preserve your marriage, to keep yourself safe, to maintain a harmonious and loving household, to pursue your relationship with God…the list could go on. It's more than you can figure out on your own, but not too much for God – and He wants to help you with it:
But if any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He is generous to everyone and will give you wisdom without criticizing you. – James 1:5 (CEV)

America's most testosterone-fueled news channel just had itself a little chat about gay CEOs. It went about as smoothly as you might expect.
New York Times columnist Jim Stewart was on CNBC Friday morning discussing the mystery of why chief executives in Corporate America aren't outing themselves left and right. He has a new column -- with the very New York Timesy headline "Among Gay CEOs, The Pressure To Conform" -- about former BP CEO John Browne, who has only discussed his own sexuality after retirement.
Stewart, who is openly gay, expressed surprise that none of the gay CEOs he talked to for the column -- and there are many, apparently -- were willing to go on the record about their experience.
At which point CNBC anchor Simon Hobbs interjected:
"I think Tim Cook is fairly open about the fact that he is gay at the head of Apple, isn't he?"
There followed approximately four seconds of utter silence -- an eternity in television time -- while the other four people on the set each looked like they might have pooped their pants just a little bit.

Rain gear
From the "for what it's worth" department. I can highly recommend a Coleman rain suit (2 piece) from wally world as an "extra" just in case. I buy two sizes large for fast donning and doffing. Packs small. Keep the receipt. If you don't end up using it, return it for a refund.

I'll second the suggestion above. I have tried all manner of rain suits which as so called rain suits and won't leak...they all DO!!! The only thing that will not leak after many hours in the rain is a solid rubberized material similar to the Wally World type suit. Yes it won't be super comforable or allow for breathing but you won't be sitting in a wet diaper after an hours of heavy rain either. You can help the sweating facter by wearing less under it...keep the armour and ditch a few warmer layers to get the right heat insulation factors. You may not look like a true high class adventure rider in your Wally World Rubber suit but you will be dry and so will the rest of your clothing. Drying out riding clothing is very difficult when you don't get enough warn sunny days to do so.
Take my word for it, You WILL get rained on almost every day when inj the far north. Maybe for a few minutes or a few hours even a few days. It's not IF it's WHEN. Same goes for the prairies but there you can see the storm hours before it hits and sometimes you can ride around it if you choose. Plus you can gauge when it's best to stop and suit up. It will take some time for the first few times to get everything on in time and pack away the other clothing you strip off to stay cooler.
Sorry to go on but you will find it to be true.......I hope this helps.
Oh....buy the biggest yellow submarine suit that will fit over your riding jacket....it will be a good thing to look like a big yellow banana as well once the visibility goes for a turd.

Deal. I will stop and buy a rain suit at my first Walmart or similar store. Worth the investment. It's pretty funny, I have two big rain suits at home that I throw on over my (car) racing gear.
Guess I'll be adding a third to the garage.
JULY 2nd :: A blessed life.
As I sat at work, everything began to dawn on me. I thought it was the coffee on an empty stomach. That creeping feeling of nausea. But it hung with me for hours. It was finally settling in that I was about to take off for a month on the road. Most of it on my own.
Prior to this, my longest solo motorcycle trip was 3.5 days. And a total of 2000 miles. In truth, I probably have only 5,000 total miles of motorcycle experience. So 11,000 miles weighs a bit daunting.
I only had one remaining item that I was waiting on, beyond that I was entirely packed. By the time the bluetooth iPad keyboard case arrived, I was already three hours behind. My goal is to avoid riding in the evening as much as possible. Get up early, get to camp, enjoy the sun setting. Goal not achieved. On day one.
My wife and dog set off an hour ahead of me. We're spending the next day and a half relaxing at the cabin. Fishing. Grilling. Just spending a beautiful day together.
Many friends ask how Carley is taking it. Surprisingly, she's taking it well. She's wrapping up her thesis and preparing for boards. But that's just the surface facade. As she takes my photo I can see her getting choked up. It's really going to hit her a day from now when the family gather's around for a blessing and I depart early morning for Manitoba.
I'm blessed in many regards, great wife, supportive family (with a nervous mom at home), an employer who pushes people to pursue their dreams and gave me the time off to do this.
I sit here, excited. But still a bit nauseous.

Best of luck! That's a lot of seat time for having 5,000 previous miles experience! Well, a lot of seat time from my perspective, being also of the 5,000 miler club (mines spread over the last 5 years, sadly!). Oh, and you have electrical tape twice on your list :).

I'll share some info with you. Throw the plans out the window.
As many on here (including myself) say, adventure starts when things don't go as per plan.
Strict deadlines / schedules and ideas lead to stress. That's not what riding is about.
Learn to adapt. Play it as it comes. Enjoy. Smile when things aren't going well, and enjoy it for what it's worth when things are going great! It's not easy, but it's something we all need to strive for.
If you swing by Calgary, AB let me know. Spare bedroom or I can let you know where / what roads to take if needed. I'm also 30 and live in a house that I only share with a friendly Doberman. There has been massive flooding here this year so plenty of back roads are washed out.

Living in the North, I'll agree with the need for a cheap rain suit. I wear "waterproof" gear as well, but keep a cheap suit in a saddlebag to throw on as well. Cheap insurance to keep warm and dry on days when you've got to make a lot of miles and there's nowhere to stop and warm up.
I'd disagree with the suggestion to ditch the machete though, I have had one on the side of my "go-bag" for a few years now, and you're right about the serrated / saw blade being a good idea. Crazy handy if you're camping.
Speaking of which, if you need a hand or a place to stay on your way back from the Dempster, drop a line, I'm on the way to Whitehorse. (On the tent space thread)
You'll have a great trip, enjoy it, take lots of pictures to convince your wife to come with you next time.
Back in a town with roads, motorcycles, and beer. Bliss.

Looks like great preparation. Sometimes you might want to loosen up on your schedule though and fly by the seat of your pants.
If you need anything, I have a large garage you can work on your bike and several bike related tools. I'm in Central Alberta if you are coming thru.
Take care and be safe.

July 3 :: Resting at cabin :: Cuyuna, MN
Luckily, my wife's family has a cabin on the way up north. So rather then piling on a ton of miles in a single day, I planned to leave a buffer day and spend the 3rd up on the lake.
I assumed that I would be a wreck, freaking out that I'd forgot something. But the big ass spread sheet of gear meant that I packed everything I needed.
So I was able to focus some attention on spending time with my wife. We went out fishing twice. Somehow she scored nine fish, walleye among them, to my zero fish. Given that we were using identical bait/lures, I'm not quite sure what happened. But it is pretty remarkable watching her reel in her prize.
On the 4th, I plan to get up early and be on the road by 7:15am. Oddly, the nervousness has gone away.

July 4 :: First real day :: W. MN, NE N. Dakota, Manitoba
I woke at 6:30 and was ready to go by 7:00. My wife's whole family got up early to send me off. I could tell by the tremble in her dad's voice that he was apprehensive, but trying still to be supportive. Much like my parent's when it comes to car racing and motorcycle stuff.
As they sent me off, our Springer Spaniel decided to chase me down the road. Ordinarily, this behavior would have annoyed me. But as I looked in my rearview mirror I could see her dog grin full force. So I slowed down to a few mph and let her run along side me. Then stopped and waited for my wife to catch up. All things considered, it was pretty damn cute.
As it's Independence Day, the small town of Crosby, MN does a parade down their Main Street. At 7:15am people had already set up chairs and coolers to hold seats. It kind of made sense that the seats were all empty. Further reminder that I'm doing the next two weeks on my own.
The ride through western Minnesota, eastern North Dakota and into Manitoba is extremely boring. I'm just considering the plains my "toll" for when I get to the good stuff. I had originally put my sights on Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. But when I arrived at 3:15pm, I wasn't wiped and figured I should press on. I picked up another 80 miles or so and made it to Minnedosa, MB.
The campground is clean. But the tenants are bordering on gypsy. Some kid in underwear keeps running through my campsite. He's probably four. And I have no idea who/where his parents are.
The riding was uneventful. Just long. Fast. Straight. I did manage to go pretty deep into the reserve fuel (30mi), but all was well. Range anxiety is always something that plagues me. I need to learn to just fill up every 1.5-2hrs and take a stretch. It would probably also behoove me to actually put gas in the rotopax.
I've paid my loony for a shower, washed my riding clothes and am now prepping some cheddar mashed potatoes and veggie bacon bits (what?!). I suspect that after 500 miles today, I'll probably sleep well.

July 5 :: The best this land has to offer :: SK, MB, AB
Up at 6:30am. Breakfast and tear down took longer then expected. On the road by 7:15am. Bike was struggling at initial start, due to the temp. It's a known aftermarket fix, but it righted itself with in five minutes.
I was happy to leave that campground. In the future, I'll know to avoid any campsite that advertises multiple times, miles ahead. It was clean, but loud. Free range kids running everywhere. They had firewood on site, gratis. But it was huge and wet. Regretting not taking a hatchet vs the machete and tactical shovel.
Once on the road, it was more flat, straight, fast. My stop was supposed to be Saskatoon. But I arrived there around 2pm.
Due to my sore ass, I headed to the BMW dealer. They had an Airhawk seat pad for $149. The guy suggested I just tough it out. I agreed. At that price point.
I was also realizing that I didn't bring enough "around camp" attire. So while there, I decided to look at their shirts. A woman talked me into a size smaller then I should have bought. She said I had a chest so I should show it off. She neglected my belly. But she also had the biggest breasts I've seen, so I guess it's relative.
She suggested that I continue on to the border of Alberta and find a place to stay there. As I was on a BMW, she must have assumed that I was hotel'ing. There was f and all in the way of camping in that town. While filling up with gas, I struck up a conversation with a guy and he suggested I head further west to Vermillion.
Glad I took his advice. I'm 200mi ahead of schedule. At a beautiful park. I also, smartly, picked up a four pack of Molson to enjoy at the campsite. Which I'll need as my neighbors are basking in the great Canadian act of Nickleback. Regarldess. It's still better then the last place. Mostly.
It's only 300 miles to Jasper. So I figure I'll push west and then spend the day exploring the area. Anything but sitting on my ass.
With regards to the bike, it's proven to be pretty damn capable. It feels a bit underpowered. But I'm sure I feel and a bit fat, along with my gear. It's fine for cruising at 75mph. But it feels buzzy when pushed to pass slower traffic.
Once, when coasting to a stop, I downshifted and nothing happened. In fact, the gear display was blank. I kept pressing down. Nothing. I was freaking out. Finally, I upshifted and let the clutch out in sixth. Sixth gear displayed. Then I kept feathering the clutch in and out and I was able right it. No idea what happened. Hoping it's isolated.
I neglected to take into account time changes and the effects of the sun further north. It's 945pm and it's still plenty bright enough to read. I'm sure AK, YT and NWT will be even more eye opening. Haven't really seen anything like this since my trip with Carley to Iceland.

ADDISON COUNTY — The year 2010 proved not one to go down in the record books for the local high school boys' soccer teams. All had bright moments, especially early in the season, but ultimately none finished above .500 or won a postseason game.
All four were buoyed by strong individual efforts from players who showed talent, leadership and positive attitude. They are recognized here in the 2010 Addison Independent Boys' Soccer All-Star Team, including high-scoring Player of the Year Timo Krekeler, a Middlebury Union High School junior.
I don't spend all that much time reading and writing comments on newspaper websites, but make a few exceptions for boston.com baseball coverage, Charlie Pierce blogs and Chad Finn columns; for Burlington Free Press articles on high school field hockey and football; and, only rarely, for an occasional Entertainment Weekly article at ewonline.com. In case anyone else out there reads the same stuff, I don't mind outing myself as vermontk (boston.com) or Vermont K (BFP).

VERGENNES — The five Addison Northwest Supervisory Union towns are headed toward another vote on one-board governance, almost certainly on Town Meeting Day this coming March.
Last Wednesday, the full ANwSU board met at Vergennes Union High School with the board subcommittee that this fall has been studying unification. The board then made a formal motion to approve what will be the fifth unification vote in six years.
VERGENNES — In a split vote, Vergennes aldermen last week gave permission for the 16-passenger tour boat "Moonlight Lady" to use the city's free docks for overnight stays next summer.
Aldermen at their Tuesday, Nov. 16, meeting debated whether the dock space reserved for the Burlington cruise boat might better be left open for boaters who make the seven-mile trip up Otter Creek from Lake Champlain — and who might be more likely to spend money in Vergennes — or whether the publicity Vergennes receives from the cruises might be a greater benefit.
MIDDLEBURY — For the first time since 1993, the Middlebury College men's hockey team stands at 0-2. And those two losses came in Kenyon Arena on Friday and Saturday to Tufts and Connecticut College, respectively, teams against which the Panthers had a collective record of 38-8-2 entering the weekend.
But more puzzling to Middlebury Coach Bill Beaney than the results — Friday's 3-0 loss to Tufts and Saturday's 5-3 setback to Conn. College — was the way he said the Panthers played.
After Saturday's loss, Beaney talked about what he saw as the Panthers' lack of fire and effort.
Women's cross country wins title
WAVERLY, Iowa — The Middlebury College women's cross country team on Saturday won its sixth NCAA Division III championship and the school's 31st NCAA title since Middlebury and other NESCAC schools began competing in national tournaments in 1995.
VERGENNES — Kennedy Brothers President Win Grant confirmed on Wednesday that he plans to end retail operations in his North Main Street, Vergennes, building after 50 years — for 41 of which he has overseen operations.
Grant, 67, said the move will affect Kennedy Brothers' nine employees, two of whom are full-time, and 50 craft vendors, who rent between six and 50 square feet apiece in the building's 10,000-square-foot marketplace.
The Middlebury Union High School football team faced off against Rice in Saturday's Division II final at Castleton State College. The top-seeded Tigers lost the game 20-38, accepting the runners up trophy. Andy Kirkaldy attended the game and caught up on the whirlwind season with Coach Dennis Smith afterward.
VERGENNES — Charlotte filmmaker Philip Fass has accepted and begun what he calls an exciting challenge from the Bixby Free Memorial Library Board of Trustees.
In the next 12 months, Fass, 58, plans to complete a 60-minute DVD that will not only express what the Bixby Library has meant to the five communities it has served since 1912, but also emphasize the central role the Vergennes institution can continue to play in the decades to come.
CASTLETON — In Saturday night's Division II final at Castleton State College, the top-seeded Middlebury Union High School football ran into what Coach Dennis Smith afterward called a buzzsaw.
With senior quarterback Christian McCormick (303 yards and four touchdowns passing) leading the way, the No. 3 Knights (10-1) scored 22 straight second-half points to break open a 16-14 game and win, 38-20.

i have a furnished bedroom for rent, only 10 minutes from Loreto square and only 5 minutes to the subway Udine metro. There is a big bed and a couch who can get another bed, so 4 people are permitted inside
i provide blankets, pillows,sheets and towels , wifi connection and even the possibility to use my pc that is inside the room.
Here are something you should know before considering :The apartment is cleaned twice a week , I'm sure anyone renting could appreciate that so I would expect a pretty CLEAN renter. The room is not totally empty like an hotel. So just a part of guardarobe and shelves can be used by you. Sometime i could ask you permission to enter(not in the middle of the night!!) to take something i left inside and that i need.easy possibilities of car parking outside.
I like to hang out with my guests, dinner, drinking, clubbing, so you could have this plus "optional"if you want.
absolutely no guests at home.please no shower from 11.30pm to 7.30 am couse my room is close to the toilette and it could be too loud for my sleeping.

Paolo has a very colorful and decorative apartment. It's near train tracks, so there is some noise during the night. The walls in the building are also a little thin, so you can hear the pipes and neighbors. However, the noise did not create major problems for me personally and he made sure I had everything I needed and directed me to the local supermarket and an excellent pizzeria.
It is a beautiful room and convenient from for the location, we like it!
Thx for paolo for introducing the house. We checked in too early with very late inform to paolo, he needs to work, but he tries his best to give the key to us. And very pleasant that paolo is so considerate that have sent a detailed email to teach how to go to his apartment, and everything about his house. He has also upgraded a bigger room for us, with no extra cost. The location of the house is also nice, very near metro, to get to other places. We really have a good experience in Milan
Una persona pratica, di poche parole, ma molto efficiente, praticamente perfetto!
Assolutamente consigliato :-)
I had a lovely time in Milan. The room was very clean and nice -homelike feeling. Andre is easy-going and helpful, so i'd recommend this to anyone. c:

Ferre by Gianfranco Ferre was exactly as described in the site. genuine fragrance, fast shipping and excellent price. No complaints there!!
Written by gsotos on December 20, 2013Read Review details ►
Gianfranco Ferre for men is my favorite "formal" fragrance. I'm 34 years old and wear it when I'm socializing or special evening events. It is a spicy warm rich scent that makes a statement, but doesn't overpower and isn't "knock-your-socks off" strong! I'd recommend it to those who want a lighter, modern version of Dad's cologne.

Farmers' suicide in Western Odisha
|The neutrality of this article's introduction is disputed. (April 2011)
The Kosal region of India had been a prosperous land with abundant natural resources and a self-sufficient economy. Flooding was not a very well known occurrence in the region; however, there were many occasions of droughts.[citation needed]
The Hirakud Dam, as well as others, was built by the government primarily to decrease the damage by flooding in Coastal Odisha and to facilitate irrigation in the Kosal region. As most of the dams were built in Western Odisha, many villages were displaced. Moreover, the displaced people, mainly farmers, were not given compensation for damages.[1]
The displaced people migrated to other places such as in Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Bargarh, Sonepur, Angul, and the Boudh district. After losing their land and not being compensated said displaced people bought land and lived on small income generated from their small land holdings. Irrigation and rain saved these people from facing severe sustained drought.[citation needed]
Forest coverage of the catchment area of Hirakud Dam which lies mostly in Chhattisgarh, has declined drastically which is evident from browsing catchment area of the Hirakud on Google Earth. Most of the perennial water sources and streams come from the Bauxite holding Mountains due to the water affinity of the mineral. As bauxite and iron ores are being extracted, the water holding capacity of these have declined causing siltation, flash floods etc. during rain and draught during summer.[2] Adding to it unsustainable industrialization and use of water resources by Industry the irrigation in this region has suffered. High level of Pollution due to many small and large industries and indiscriminate deforestation has decreased precipitation and has increased diseases leading either to decrease in yield or loss of crop.
The state government assured farmers in the Kosal region that irrigation in the Hirakud command area would not be adversely affected by industrialization. However, the government has taken all steps to facilitate use of water for industrial use which was actually meant for farmers. Though the industries have huge financial resources to source their own water supply or to increase the water holding capacity of Hirakud, the government has not taken the necessary steps to improve water supplies to the villages and farms[citation needed][neutrality is disputed].
It is reported that more than 60 farmers in western Odisha have committed suicide. It is also reported that forty-three farmers killed themselves towards the end of 2009.,[3][4] Some of the reasons for farmer suicide are: all of them were small farmers, entirely dependent on monsoons for irrigation, sudden Inflation had limited their access to expensive fertilizers and pesticides and all of them had borrowed from moneylenders between Rs 10,000 to 25,000 at exorbitant rates, some as high as 25 per cent.
The issue over farmers' suicide in western Odisha is hotting up. The Biju Janata Dal had sent a three-member fact-finding team to Sagarpalli village in Jharsuguda district to meet the family members and assess the situation. Perturbed over oppositions' attempts to make it issue, BJD decided to send a team for assuaging farmers. It was also reported that a team of high-level Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, led by State president Suresh Pujari, visited Khapsadea village in Sambalpur district where a farmer committed suicide in the first week of October 7. The Odisha govt. has also ordered probe to farmers suicide.[5] [6]

When extreme weather conditions collide, it can cause quite the mess.
Sunset Beach residents are hoping the king tide along with rain expected today won't cause flooding in homes and alleys the way it did last month.
"Believe me, I'm not looking forward to it if it does," said Sheri DiPietro, whose patio and kitchen were soaked when the last extreme high tide hit.
The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood advisory for counties from San Luis Obispo south to San Diego between 5 and 11 a.m. through Saturday.
DiPietro said her driveway was filled with water Wednesday morning, but that happens to residents in the area once or twice a month.
"We should be fine; the last time that happened was seven years ago," she said of the flooding in December.
King tides are among the highest astronomical tides of the year. The high tides this week will be 6.8 feet at 7:22 a.m. today and 6.9 feet at 8:09 a.m. Friday.
Along with the high tides, rain and high surf could make matters worse. The National Weather Service is calling for building surf today through Friday morning from 6 to 10 feet along some Orange County beaches, although Huntington Beach-based Surfline is only calling for surf of 3 to 4 feet.
The Balboa Peninsula is also susceptible to flooding under these types of conditions.
Newport has a "tidal valve" system installed on the bay side of the Balboa Peninsula and on every street of Balboa Island. The valves keep the ocean water from backing up into storm drains and emptying onto land, protecting about 15,000 homes. The 89 metal valves act as plugs, and most are hidden below ground in large cement boxes. A few hours before extreme high tides, workers shut the valves so that water stays underground rather than flowing into the bay. It's usually a routine operation without glitches – until rain and high surf enter the equation.
In Sunset Beach, plugs are installed in storm drains to block tides from flooding into the street, according to Huntington Beach spokesperson Laurie Frymire. In the trouble spots, Caltrans operates five storm drain bladders, and Huntington Beach Public Works crews operate four storm drain bladders. The crews are on site before the high tides hit to operate plugs, allowing storm runoff to flow away from the streets, Frymire said.
Public Works offers free sandbags to all Huntington Beach residents at the City Corporate Yard at 17371 Gothard St., south of Warner Avenue. The Fire Department CERT provides free sandbag delivery to elderly and disabled residents. To access this service, call 714-536-5974.

Is there anybody out there...
Interested in meeting someone to share in all of life's adventures. I've already done a lot on my own but now I'd like to be able to share those experiences with someone. A bit about me...Im a bit of a goof, but I take life seriously when I need to. I quote funny movies, Im not ashamed of it! I have a serious job that I like and I take it seriously. I don't let it control my life though. I leave work at work. I'm into sports, big Red Sox fan. I like to cook and I like to eat good food, so if you like trying new food things and new places I am sure we will get along. Anything having to do with outdoors is something that really gets me going...hiking, golf, camping,kayaking, photography, traveling to national parks (bucket list!)...you name it! I don't need to be out all the time but I do enjoy going out and being social with friends every once and a while. Perfectly content with just cooking dinner at home with a bottle of wine and a Miles Davis record too. I'm very 'roll with it' type of personality, I really don't let a lot of stuff bother me, life is too short to sweat the small stuff. So if any of this sounds like someone who you'd like to get to know more about, please feel free to ask away!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Baseball, Cycling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
I don't have any pets at the moment, but I definitely would like one soon!
Middle of the Road
I'm a bit of a foodie so I like trying out new places that open up around the city. My standby bars are Blue Monk, Mes Que and Coles...
I listen to pretty much everything...I will even tolerate 'some' country. But mostly I like rock across the board...new, old doesn't really matter. Also have a pretty ridiculous Vinyl collection that your parents would be proud of!
Whatever I want! I create my own fun!

Islanders' Brooklyn debut gets mixed reviews
Sep 22, 2013, 10:29 AM EDT
Last night saw Barclays Center in Brooklyn get its first shot at hosting hockey as the Islanders faced the New Jersey Devils. While the Islanders came away as 3-0 losers, it was the arena being judged the hardest and the reviews are mixed as Allan Kreda of The New York Times reports.
Coaches and players seemed to love Barclays Center. Isles coach Jack Capuano praised the atmosphere. Travis Hamonic also had a rave review.
"It's an unbelievably cool place," he said. "It makes you look forward to being here. I thought the rink was great."
As for the fans, the people who will have to pay hundreds of dollars for tickets, there were some complaints.
"You get the creature comforts of a new arena, but I was unimpressed with the spectator area," 23-year-old Megan Leach said. "There were a lot of terrible sight lines."
When the New York Islanders announced they would be moving to Brooklyn in 2015, fans were curious how a building constructed without hockey in mind, Barclays Center, would work out. Now they have an idea what needs to be worked out before the team is there full-time.

- gmsalpha - Sep 22, 2013 at 10:58 AM
Better to find out now, so the sight lines can be remedied by the time the team is there full-time. Smart move to get a live preview in this early.
- avfanforlife - Sep 22, 2013 at 11:18 AM
Just looked at the floorplan of the arena. Definitely some "NHL Fluff" with this article. Megan Leach is right. Who in their right mind would put a professional hockey team in a venue like that? I'm sure there are some good seats, but (and I probably will not get a chance to see a game there in person) my guess is the Isles need a venue of their own.
- jrocknstuff - Sep 22, 2013 at 11:34 AM
Isles won't ever get another venue of their own. They've been trying to get out of Nassau Colliseum for the past 15 years. They have had at least 4 votes struck down to build again on the island. It was either this or move to Hartford. Still, I'm not quite sure how you fix sightlines? The seats don't move. The rink isn't going to move. I can't see this ending well
- rmmetfwd - Sep 22, 2013 at 12:24 PM
One young lady's complaints amount to "mixed reviews"? I was sitting in one of the worst seats in the house last night (at least according to price) and thought the sight lines were solid. The steepness of the nosebleed sightline might be a bit vertigo-inducing at first, but it's far better than the crap views some fans are subjected to in "buildings built for hockey" like the Prudential Center.
- devilsarethebest - Sep 22, 2013 at 1:05 PM
The Rock was actually built in a way that there are no "bad" seats, you can see the game well from anywhere. I can't confirm because I never actually sat in the nosebleeds but it's what I hear.
- rmmetfwd - Sep 22, 2013 at 2:15 PM
Every new building claims to be built in a way that there are no bad seats. At Prudential Center, the 400s are absolutely miserable. They didn't rake the seating enough.
- 950003cups - Sep 22, 2013 at 2:46 PM
Glad you mentioned that! Too bad there aren't any "400 seats"
You almost pulled it off. Nice try though. Next time you try and act like you have a clue about anything, look it up online.
- amaleader - Sep 22, 2013 at 12:44 PM
at least u guys are better then the devils be happy u dont play at the retirement home.. i mean prudential center
- nj666 - Sep 22, 2013 at 5:02 PM
dont you have a book report to finish?
- MyTeamsAllStink - Sep 22, 2013 at 12:45 PM
fine demolish it and build another one :p
- steelers88 - Sep 22, 2013 at 1:01 PM
Would it be the newest NHL arena?
- rmmetfwd - Sep 22, 2013 at 2:13 PM
Yep, though by 2015 we might have NHL teams in brand new arenas in Seattle or the GTA.
- ryanoffski - Sep 22, 2013 at 3:31 PM
Is the jumbotron not lined up with center ice?
- heynyc61 - Sep 22, 2013 at 3:57 PM
I've been to a bunch of games at the rock. Upper bowl. Lower bowl. Center ice behind the goal. Great place.
- bcisleman - Sep 22, 2013 at 8:41 PM
The pity of it is that the NVMC has possibly the best sightlines in the NHL. If it had just been maintained properly and been given a decent reno, the Isles could have stayed put. Hopefully Barclay's can be improved by 2015-16.
- multiplemiggs - Sep 23, 2013 at 11:24 AM
I was at the game, its not made for hockey plain simple. Yes the scoreboard hangs over one of the blue lines into the zone. I heard talk of them actually turning the rink 45 degrees and stuffing it in crooked somehow. I cant see how thats possible. I have also been to the rock and its great for hockey. its like a bigger barclays center, set up the same inside. the 300s are also steep but its built for hockey. as for the concessions area the rock is much bigger and nicer as to where barclays is smaller.

Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) may be close to picking Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) as its default mobile search provider in Europe after its current contract with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) expires this year, according to people familar with the talks, Bloomberg reports. The deal would be substantial for Yahoo, which already reaches 850 million wireless subscribers through partnerships with 70 operators and OEMs worldwide. A yahoo spokesman declined to comment on the rumor, as did a Vodafone spokesman. The deal has yet to be finalized and other providers are still in the running, according to the same sources.
The deal sounds like many others, in which the search provider becomes the default search engine on phones in hopes of gaining customers by providing an easy user experience, but doesn't prohibit the user from browsing directly to the competition. In the U.S., Yahoo serves AT&T (NYSE: T) and T-Mobile USA. Google works with Sprint (NYSE: S) Nextel, and more recently, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) won the contract with Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) (which is partly owned by Vodafone). In Europe, Yahoo has such relationships with operators including T-Mobile and Telefonica's O2 unit, and may have an advantage with Vodafone since it already sells advertising on its handsets in the U.K.

USB train tickets tested in France
Following the news that 89% of testers in O2's phone payment Oyster trial wanted to use the system full time, it's been revealed that our cross-channel cousins are having a go at something similar.
SNCF, a French train company, is trialling USB "tickets" that use RFID technology - apparently already in use on the network in France.
The USB side of things means users can plug the flash drive into their computers and load money onto the ticket to make future train ticket purchases by RFID.
With advanced security features for obvious reasons, the tickets will have 4GB of internal memory, but measure just 34 x 67 x 8mm, making them possibly even easier to lose than a paper version.

Political Hay
Media Muddles
It's easy to miss the story if its implications run counter to your own agenda.
Folks in the media and America in general seem confused lately. Some of the confusion stems from the Iraq War and some from recent polling in the 2008 presidential contest. Many polls are showing a rise in the fortunes of Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton, while their main opponents, Rudy Giuliani and Barrack Obama seem to be fading a bit. How could this happen?
The liberal media are particularly perplexed at reports of Romney gaining ground. After all, he is a Mormon and so to them he is even more freakish than the run-of-the-mill religious fanatics who inhabit Middle America. And, as they never tire of pointing out, he's a notorious flip-flopper, a trait that has been historically repulsive to liberals since at least, yesterday.
Even more confounding to the left is the loss of support Giuliani has experienced among conservatives. You can almost hear them: What's not to like about Rudy? He's pro-abortion, anti-guns and generally in approval of special rights for alternative life-styles. What are these people thinking?
In the Bizarro world of the liberal media, where they believe they can select the opposition candidate (see John McCain in 2000), the growing conservative repudiation of Rudy is bewildering. They can't comprehend that, at least until Fred Thompson or Newt Gingrich joins in the fun, Romney is arguably the most conservative of the top tier candidates.
And a big reason for Romney's elevation in conservative eyes is that he's beginning to show an inclination to reach across the campaign trail with gusto to take on the leading Democrats. Criticizing them for voting against funding our troops in Iraq, he singled out Clinton and Obama:
At a time when the men and women of our military fighting terrorism around the globe needed them most, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama cast a vote that singularly defines their lack of leadership....Voting against our troops during a time of war shows the American people that the leaders of the Democrat Party will abandon principle in favor of political positioning. Their votes render them undependable in the eyes of the men and women of the United States military and the American people.
This is the sort of red meat that has many on the right drooling. But don't expect Romney's name to appear in many news pieces that don't have the words "Mormon" or "religion" in them. The liberal media, as always, have little interest in stories such as the above, that don't have their best interests at heart; especially those involving Mrs. Clinton.
Speaking of which, it's been reported ad nauseam that both leading Democratic contenders voted against the Iraq War Funding bill. But in denying support for the troops they both claim to "support," the media has ignored that in doing so, they also voted down a minimum-wage increase and further funding for Hurricane Katrina recovery that were piggy-backed onto the bill. One wonders what the reportage would have been had Obama alone taken this stand.
In a related tale of the media ignoring stories that do not advance their agenda, Cindy Sheehan, the mother of the anti-war movement, has announced that she is leaving the Democratic Party and resigning as the "face" of the movement itself. It seems she feels used and abused by her former enablers.
As pointed out by our friends at Newsbusters.org, all of this is of no interest to the media since Ms. Sheehan's antics failed to help them gain the ouster of President Bush, and worse, she is now focusing her strident criticism on them. Proving that even a broken clock is right twice a day, the Peace Mom concluded that
...I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the Republican Party....However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the "left" started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used.
Of course the most under-reported stories continue to be those that remotely suggest the surge in Iraq may be showing positive results; a notable exception being Joe Klein's piece in Time, "Is al-Qaeda on the Run in Iraq?" It is a minor miracle indeed that a major news outlet admits that al Qaeda is even in Iraq, let alone that they may be "on the run."
Should the impossible happen and the rest of the media decide to lift the veil from their own eyes and thus from the hapless Americans still bound by their power, military matters might become more clear to them. And, a few months down the road, they will discover that the Republican primary will come down to a contest between Romney and Thompson. And although that will gladden the hearts of true conservatives, it will be an unhappy awakening for the media.

Round-Topped Stela
These two Christian stelae, made after the Arabs conquered Egypt in 642 c.e., reflect new styles from the East. The larger example (71.39.1), which has lost its top section, would have decorated a tomb wall much like the woven wall hangings in homes. Here, exuberant vegetal motifs almost submerge the small crosses. The round-topped stela (69.74.2), which has two lionlike animals in Eastern style and no Christian symbols at all, was made for a woman whose name, Suzanna, indicates that she was Christian. Her father's name, Pachons, suggest that he was not Christian, a possibility that may explain the lack of Christian imagery here.

Former PC Darren Jennings from Saffron Walden guilty of trying to sell story to The Sun
Posted: July 17, 2014|
A former police constable from Saffron Walden has been found guilty of offering to sell a story to the Sun about a "womanising and bullying" colleague.
Darren Jennings, of Saffron Walden, went on trial at the Old Bailey charged with committing misconduct in a public office.
Jennings, 41, who worked for Wiltshire Police, denied asking the Sun to pay £10,000 in exchange for scandalous information in September 2010 and claimed he was "set up".
But the jury of six men and six women found him guilty today following a trial.
The father-of-two, who has been married twice, contacted the Sun about his colleague Sergeant Mark Andrews who had recently been arrested for an assault in custody, the court heard.
Jennings, posing under the pseudonym Robert Stone, sent an email to a journalist saying the married sergeant had affairs with colleagues, including a police community support officer (PCSO), special constable and an ex-PCSO.
He alleged Sgt Andrews took part in a threesome with another male officer and a female police officer and regularly went to a strip bar in Salisbury, prosecutor Oliver Glasgow said.
He went on to claim the officer bullied a colleague who later had a mental breakdown.
The defendant also alleged that the sergeant used excessive force towards members of the public at Salisbury police station and on one occasion slammed a woman's head against a concrete floor.
Sgt Andrews was convicted at Oxford Magistrates' Court of assault occasioning actual bodily harm but that was later quashed on appeal, the trial heard.
Asking for £10,000 for the information, Jennings told the Sun journalist: "I'm taking a massive risk in giving this information and have an enormous amount to lose by doing so if I am found out."
The story was never published and Jennings's contact emerged only after officers trawled through millions of emails in the Sun database as part of the phone-hacking investigation in 2012.
Police linked him to the Sun through an examination of his laptop and home phone records.
When he was first interviewed by police, Jennings claimed that he had problems with Sgt Andrews and other colleagues who were unhappy about his personal relationship with a female officer who became his second wife Rachel.
He said before they got together, Rachel confided in him that Sgt Andrew had made a pass at her and she told him "in no uncertain terms" that it was not going to happen.
Problems at work escalated to the point where Jennings was posted away from Salisbury and he launched a grievance against another colleague, jurors were told.
But when he gave evidence in the witness box, Jennings could not identify any particular officer who had a sufficient grudge against him to set him up by using a Hotmail account under a fake name which was linked to his computer.
Under cross-examination, Mr Glasgow said: "Don't you agree when you look at it and stand back, it does look like you are guilty, doesn't it?"
Jennings replied: "The evidence against me does seem compelling evidence. Even though it is compelling, I will still stand here today, tomorrow, and next year and deny the allegations put before me, because I'm innocent."
Earlier, Mr Glasgow told the court: "His attempt to suggest that he has been the victim of a conspiracy which has seen one or more people plot against him to incriminate him in this sordid affair is just as desperate as it sounds.
"The truth of the allegations is that Jennings has now been found out and has no answer for what he has done."

RE: Solomon and Jennie Wollan
Well thaat is an interesting question. Other researchers have a Martha Clifton as his second wife. They were married in 1893 which is after Mary Jane Dimock Wollman's death. I have not been able to document that marriage so I haven't added Martha to his timeline yet. I have included her as a possible wife in my research notes. There is a 1900 Federal Census for Perry, Putnam County, Ohio that fits the criteria yet I am reluctant to attach. Do you have any ideas?

RE: Mary Franscisco/Sisco
As to whether they changed their family name, yes and no! Some still used the surname Fransisco, others Francisco and some F. Sisco & then Sisco, and in two cases that I recall, the tombstones, read Cisco, although I believe both were in error and should have been Sisco.

Thank You
Hi Skydancr,
Thank you for creating a memorial for Mom (Mary Lou). I just found it today. I'm not ever sure how now. I hope you and your family are doing well. I know Mom always enjoyed hearing from you. Dad and I are ok. The house just seems a bit empty without her.
Be well,

Beverly Headstones
Thanks so much for your time and effort in trying to locate Timanda Beverly Eckhart's headstone. My husband had talked to a county commissioner over the phone, but without success. As you pointed out, many of the old headstones have been damaged. That is why I am so grateful for photographers like yourself who are preserving these headstones. Otherwise, they too might be lost.
