Thousands of Orlando motorists are using a social network to share live traffic alerts through a smart phone app called "WAZE."
Developers in California say the name is just a play on the word "ways", as in, "there are many ways to get there."
An estimated 90,000 Orlando drivers or "WAZERS" report what they see as they drive to their respective destinations .
With a simple click of an icon drivers can update everything from : construction, police presence, traffic jams, even red light cameras.
WAZE Communications Officer, Michal-Habdank-Kolaczkowski, says the WAZE Craze has 24 million subscribers around the world.
In Florida, Habdank-Kolaczkowski says Orlando has the most users followed by Miami with 60,000 and another 40,000 in Tampa.
"We're thrilled to see the act of sharing road information quickly becoming a cultural norm," said Habdank-Kolaczkowski. "We all have to share the road, shouldn't we also share in the responsibility of keep those roads moving?"
27-year-old Michael Wagner of Altamonte Springs started using the WAZE app in June 2010 and hasn't stopped since. Wagner, a graphic designer, says he uses the system everyday.
"It's helped out a lot with delays, police reports, accidents all of that has helped out especially on I-4," Wagner said.
Wagner says you can actually interface with Face book and Twitter to file traffic reports and let the social networks know where you are.
We rode with him on I-4 West Tuesday night . When we stopped at a red light the WAZE started providing traffic updates including police presence and a vehicle on the shoulder on I-4 West.
The closer you get to the hazard the system lets you know by actually counting down the distance.
Some drivers even reported heavy rain near Disney World and Celebration.
It's the reporting and sharing by drivers that makes WAZE unique.
The company says it is constantly "working on new features to help drivers" including toll road updates and gas prices.
A spokesperson says to expect more great updates in the coming months.
You can download the APP directly from your phone at no charge. Just go to waze.com or m.waze.com.

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup quinoa flour
- 1/4 cup corn flour (not cornmeal; corn flour is finer)
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour (cornstarch or arrowroot would be okay, too)
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds (or flax meal)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup soy milk (or other nondairy milk)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
In a large mixing bowl, mix together all flours and the flax seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the remaining wet ingredients. Use a fork to mix wellfor about a minute. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes and preheat a large, heavy-bottomed, nonstick pan, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat.
When pan is hot, spray with a thin layer of cooking spray and use an ice cream scooper to pour batter and form pancakes. I usually make two at a time, but do as many as you can fi t. The pancake should start to form little air bubbles, but not as much as "normal" pancakes do, so don't worry. Cook on one side for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 minutes more.

I had 4 sticky spots on my hardwood floors from some duck tape I had used to adhere a rug to the floor. Probably not the wisest form of adhesive haha… none the less, the rug is no longer there, which has left 4 nasty looking sticky spots on my floor, big ones. I was going to go out and buy some goo-gone to remove the sticky stuff… but my mom said "I bet you can figure out a DIY recipe." So I did!
I found one that actually works and had to share. Its super simple
3 parts baking soda, 1 part oil (I used cheap canola oil, my floor doesnt care if its gmo)
I just eye'd this measurement btw. It isn't rocket science :) – poured in my baking soda into a mason jar (small one) and then poured on top of it a little oil. Stirred it up and it made a paste… It wasn't super thick, was kind of like syrup you'd pour on pancakes. I then used a tooth brush I had for cleaning and went to rubbing. The spots I had were very sticky… VERY very sticky… so it took some work rubbing this to get it off… but it did come off!! ALL OF IT.
SO I saved a trip to walmart and used two ingredients I already had at home to get the job done.
Amazing what a little baking soda will do. I swear, baking soda is awesome. I use it for everything now.
Hope this works for y'all! :) Pin this if you use it to share the love.

April 24, 2009 The U.S. electric grid is a complex network of independently owned and operated power plants and transmission lines.
April 24, 2009 In a series of stories airing this week on Morning Edition and All Things Considered and published here on NPR.org, we examine the costs, the politics and other challenges of upgrading the country's electricity grid.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103417561/103423426" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 27, 2009 The nation's electricity grid is facing a crisis — it's outdated and unprepared for increasing demand and a future that includes more renewable sources of energy. A new digital smart grid is part of the picture envisioned by advocates, as is building new electricity infrastructure.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103327321/103516775" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 27, 2009 Bringing renewable energies like wind and solar power onto the electric grid is the first step toward making the grid both green and smart, but engineers and power companies must also find solutions to the challenges of renewable energies, which don't produce consistent, reliable power.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103526574/103546419" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 28, 2009 To create a new energy economy with much more solar and wind energy, thousands of miles of new transmission lines must be built across the nation. But finding suitable locations to place the lines is incredibly complicated without a federal body to oversee planning.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103537250/103559303" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 28, 2009 By installing a smart meter on her Pennsylvania home, Tammy Yeakel and her family are able to save nearly 20 percent on their electric bill each month. They can track their energy consumption in real time on a Web site provided by her power company, PPL.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103437607/103584620" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 29, 2009 In many remote areas of the country where wind is plentiful, no power is harnessed from the land because there aren't enough transmission lines to carry the electricity. And though the Plains offer untapped electrical potential, grid managers worry that the erratic nature of wind could make the grid unreliable.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103575144/103596909" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 29, 2009 The push is on to make the nation's aging electricity grid smarter, so it can handle our growing demand for electricity. Many assume that a smart grid will also be a green grid — delivering clean electricity and helping to address climate change. But that's not necessarily so.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103415232/103618979" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 30, 2009 As plans are made to revamp the U.S. electric grid, many in the electric industry see their job as a simple one: to keep the lights on. But others, including Xcel Energy, are bringing smart grid technology — and new business challenges — to entire cities.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103438965/103642512" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 30, 2009 A large sector of the work force that runs the electrical system in the U.S. is expected to retire soon, depleting the supply of workers to maintain the grid and keep the lights on. So power companies find themselves training new workers to repair and maintain some very antiquated equipment.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103629929/103675970" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
May 1, 2009 The Obama administration has been heavily promoting the development of more renewable sources of energy, such as wind and solar. In the wake of the housing bubble, some are speculating about whether a renewable energy bubble might be on the horizon.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103631430/103698973" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
May 1, 2009 Plans are under way to beef up the nation's electricity transmission grid. At the same time, conservationists are trying to reduce the vast amount of power wasted in homes and offices. If we used energy more efficiently, would we need to spend billions of dollars on a new grid?
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/103713402/103728903" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
April 27, 2009 The prospect of building a national, modern electric grid shares many of the same political and social challenges that President Eisenhower faced when pioneering the national highway system in the mid-1950s.
April 27, 2009 An improved electric grid could potentially make electricity more reliable, more efficient, cleaner and perhaps even cheaper. But what would it cost to actually build it, and how much would it save?
April 30, 2009 Across the Pacific Northwest, large pieces of electrical infrastructure, both old and new, speckle the landscape. From gigantic cooling towers to dams along the Columbia River to the new wind farms sprouting up on hillsides, electricity has worked its way into the fabric of the land.

Nyala - Ethiopian Cuisine
NyalaNyala is a family owned and operated restaurant that has been serving the Los Angeles area since 1988. Nyala's dedication to quality has made it a favorite of LA Times restaurant critic Elmer Dills.

Ethiopian CuisineEthiopian cuisine characteristically consists of spicy vegetable and meat dishes, usually in the form of wat (also w'et or wot), a thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread, which is about 50 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter and made out of fermented teff flour.
Ethiopians eat with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of entrées and side dishes.Utensils are rarely used with Ethiopian cuisine.

Earth tones, tribal art and African music set the scene at this Little Ethiopia mainstay. Ethiopian cuisine centers on colorful, complex stews (called wots), finely chopped salads and saucy vegetables. Though utensils are available, the authentic way to enjoy this fare is by scooping it up in traditional injera bread — a delicately sour staple rather similar to a pancake. Complete your exotic escape with a smooth honey wine or frosty Hakim beer.

Though the Tucano has the appearance of a traditional riverboat it is still a thoroughly up to date and modern yacht. The vessel was built entirely new using sophisticated equipment, materials and advanced construction techniques.
From the electrical and water systems to the advanced propulsion and navigation systems, Tucano offers all of the convenience, security, and comfort of a modern yacht. There are individual air-conditioning thermostats in every cabin. The vessel has state of the art communications and navigation equipment so that no matter how far into the world's greatest wilderness the vessel may explore, there is still contact with the outside world.
The traditional design of the M/Y Tucano has had another wonderful advantage, the beautiful finish details of the 19th Century. The cabins, Salon, and main corridors are crafted of exquisite solid wood raised paneling. The deep amber color of the varnished wood is accented by polished brass hardware found throughout the vessel. The walls are decorated with framed botanical prints as well as antique maps from the great era of exploration. The Tucano experience offers the classical elegance of a bygone era but combined with the capability and the spirit of modern exploration.
Life aboard the Tucano
The Amazon cruises are active and guests spend most of their time off the vessel exploring the forest, but when on board, the Tucano offers plenty of space to spread out and contemplate the wonders of nature. With over seventy large windows, the Tucano is bright and airy. The cabins and the salon are air-conditioned and have elegant raised wood paneling in the style of the 19th Century steamers that cruised the majestic rivers of the Amazon.
A Generous Salon
From this large space, filled with windows and situated at the front of the vessel, guests are treated to fantastic vistas of the wilderness surrounding on all sides. Meals are served here and guests have a library of choice books on Amazon wildlife.
Large Observation Deck
The top deck is open and has a large shade canopy. It is a wonderful place to spot wildlife or soak in the vastness of the Amazon. There is space to catch some sun and watch the Macaw parrots screeching across the afternoon sky.
Middle Deck Balcony
This wide balcony faces forward and is a serene spot to relax as the Tucano winds her way along the forested shore. It is also a good place to observe monkeys jumping from one vine to another and pink dolphins leaping into the air.
Accommodations aboard the Tucano
All of the cabins on Tucano are outside cabins with large windows, private baths with showers, and air-conditioning. There are two categories of cabins. Yellow Category cabins are the larger cabins and have beds side by side. The Green Category cabins are smaller and have above and below berths.
Green Category Cabins: The four cabins in this category have above and below berths with a single size mattress above and a single sized mattress below. These are cabins numbered 1, 2, 7, and 8. These cabins are significantly smaller than the Yellow cabins. But they are nonetheless comfortable outside cabins with large windows, private bathrooms, and air-conditioning.
Yellow Category Cabins: The five cabins in this category are large and have beds side by side. They are numbered 3, 4, 5, 6, and 0. Cabin "0" has a queen size bed beside a single bed.
Triple Cabins: Some of the Yellow Category cabins can accommodate three travelers. This is helpful for families. In cabins "3" and "4" a third narrow bed can be placed between the single beds.
|Green Category
Four cabins, upper and lower berths, outside cabins with large windows, private bathrooms, and air-conditioning. # 1,2,7 & 8.
|Yellow Category
Five cabins, two lower berths, outside cabins with large windows, private bathrooms, and air-conditioning. #3-6 & 0.

World market price for nickel stabilized
World market of nickel faces recession
World prices for nickel show an upward tendency. Brokers and traders say that in the market of metals undergo a "nickel race " due to the brisk demand of the Asian steelmakers that increased the world nickel prices to a record level for the recent 13 years. If the monthly average price of actual nickel on LME was $9968 in September, the October price has increased up to $11051, and for the first decade of November - up to $12002. The metal reserves are still remain on the level of 33 thousand tons. And at the same time a backwardation is observed at the London metals exchange that also maintains the high prices. This situation is characterized by exchange prices excess for cash metal over the prices for the goods with three month' delivery. The least has a price of $11990 per ton.
This year is unusual for nickel market as the prices for nickel has broken the limit of $10000 per ton, comparing with the price of $6500 per ton in November of the previous year.
In the last quarter of the previous year there prices were under stagnation, but from the beginning of a new year the market has never remained the same. The brisk demand of China could be mentioned as one of the objective reasons.
Nickel consumption by the new, already existing and developing manufactures in Finland, USA and Belgium resulted in the situation when even the release of 60 thousand tons of "Norilsk Nickel " reserves was consumed by the market and price "race" remained stable.
To some extent a 13 weeks strike in a factory of the Canadian company Inco was the reason of that "race". During this period the exchange reserves have sharply decreased.
But even after the dispute had been settled and "Norilsk nickel " reserves had been released to the market its fundamental bases have remained in force and continue to maintain the prices.
It is most likely that in a medium-term forecast the high prices will remain as there is still a high demand and the possibility of significant volumes of nickel release to the market is low due to the absence of new "nickel" enterprises.
Irrespectively of the main reason of such growth (financial speculation, reduction of deliveries to the market or other factors) according to the estimation of MEPS agency experts the price for metal will hardly fall below $10000 per ton in the nearest future .
At least, the broker company Man Financial working at LME, determines the support of $10530 and resistance of $12100 per ton within the short period in its report dated November 11.
The present situation in the market has certain effects for the suppliers of stainless steel.
The companies which have the special system of adjustment in case of alloy prices increasing were ahead of those who ought to negotiate the price with the consumers when nickel prices go up.
МEPS believes, that some large Asian manufacturers have to struggle for profit even when the demand for stainless steel is high as the prices for the raw material is growing.
It is now under the discussion that how the high prices for metal can change the brisk demand for stainless steel down.
Many ultimate consumers have already adjusted to the floating prices, but nickel now is so expensive, that they are forced to search for alternative options, buying the grades with low content of nickel.
Some stainless steel' manufacturers are concerned about the present situation and started new researches to develop an alternative manufacture of materials with the low content of nickel.
Experts are researching the carbon steel alloys with the high content of chrome and manganese as a substitution for the grades which contain nickel.
If these efforts will have a success the medium-term forecast period will be characterized by nickel containing grades loosing their dominant positions on a market.
However it will not solve a problem completely as demand for stainless steel grows up to 5-6 % each year.
One of the reasons of a sharp rise of the nickel prices are fears about the long-term reduction of deliveries of this metal.
As a matter of fact it looks as three projects of cheaper and fast extraction of nickel from ore using so-called method of acid leaching under high pressure, work under that method began in Australia at the end of 1990s.
But yet they did not lead to reduction of prime cost of nickel extraction, nor to increase of productivity of this process.
Failures of these projects which would allow to increase considerably manufacture of nickel, have disappointed manufacturers who were going to open new production on their own deposits.
As the increase of manufacture was planned by consumers of nickel, refusal of these projects can lead to excess of demand over the offer.
So, the same Canadian company Inco has declared, that two its large projects, one in Labrador and the second in New Caledonia, can begin manufacture of nickel not earlier than in 2006. Besides Inco has suspended construction of a new factory in Goro last December as the cost of this project has grown up 40% to $2,1 billion and to continue the construction there is a need of financial help of the French government but the negotiations did not give any results.
Australian analytics recommend to operate all nickel deposits.
New nickel projects have to be invested
to satisfy growing world demand for this metal and to reduce the price, - declared the chairman of Australian CSA during the conference on metals and concentrates which took place on the 5th of November, 2003 in Melbourne.
Because of growing demand for nickel especial from the part of Chinese steel industry the world market requires its additional deliveries.
Taking into account, that the developing of a new nickel deposit takes from 5 to 8 years, CSA consider, that in 2004-2006 for satisfaction of demand it is necessary to put into operation all deposits of nickel which are at the stage of development.
The main sources of increasing of nickel market deliveries during this period should become Canadian sulphidic copper nickel deposit Voicy-Bay, which will provide 20 thousand tons of nickel in 2006 , and also New Caledonian deposits of French Eramet Group where by 2006-2007 it is planned to increase annual release of metal up to 13 thousands.
However, in CSA estimation, it would be not enough to decrease world prices for nickel to a comprehensible level and it is necessary to invest other nickel projects.
The representative of the world second nickel manufacturer, Canadian Inco, Steve Mitchel considers, that price "rally" is connected with growth of demand for nickel in China.
He says that this market has a tendency to grow up to 28 % each year, two thirds increasing of the world demand falls on China. We plan to increase manufacture of nickel up 40 % approximately to 294 thousand, but only by 2006. "
Sudden increase of nickel prices made the manufacturers panic. First of all it is based on the use of the alternative to the usual stainless steel can lower demand for nickel, and also plunge nickel branch into a long depression.
Some experts consider, that in such case the manufacturers of a stainless steel will reduce the content of nickel in their products that will allow to lower the nickel prices.
Universal increase of demand for nickel is explained also by sharp growth of new number of factories which manufacture the stainless steel all over the world.
By experts estimation, capacities of factories which manufacture this kind of steel have grown in 2002-2003 up to three million tons.
The brisk demand is basically supported by Asia, especially China which became the world's largest consumer of stainless steel, outrun USA and Japan since 2001.
China satisfies their needs for this steel on two third due to import.
President Inco has recently declared, that he expects the growth of consumption of stainless steel in China up to 10%-20 % each year at least before 2006.
At the same time the majority of analysts expect, that in the ensuing months the nickel and stainless steel markets both expect recessions and rises. The period of consolidation should come even in China.
Some analytics, however, do not see any opportunities for growth of the stainless steel market in long-term prospect, but the majority of them believe that the situation for the manufacturers will improve in 2004.
Their forecasts are based on a low level of reserves and growth of demand of construction and motor companies while the recovery of American and European economy in the next year.
If these forecasts will be justified, by the next summer the nickel and stainless steel prices will have only one tendency - increase.

I think they've made clowns out of Walkers. Walkers were meant to be ridden all they thru fields and keep rider comfortable.
My barn is all Walkers, and show. Most barefoot. The majority of TWH are not flashy freaks, I'm at a show barn yet none of the horses here are padded. There's actually only a small group (as compared to the normal TWH) that are padded up .
My horse has a head nod, I never trained for it. It took her some maturing to have that happen. You need a relaxed horse and work the walk , and walk your way up into a faster walk , and lengthen the stride. Some are born having more talent than others. Some need alot of practice. Mine does this willingly on her own. It's taken a few years, tho.
Those padded up stallions you see in ads for breeding-well, they are bred to be on the pacey side so the big lick is 4 beat. If they've had all that work to be a big lick horse, how do you know that the horse is truly a quality walker? You don't.
People can have alot of problems with keeping their horse from pacing. Someone told me once "if you don't want them to pace, don't let them!"

Essence Sun Club Summer 2011 Collection
Summer's almost here kids! w00t! Any blockbusters you're wanting to see this Summer? This morning I was looking at the trailer for Fright Night and proceeded to yell in outrage that Colin Farrell had more scenes in it than Ten. No fair people….this is his first time in a Hollywood flick (HP doesn't count) , give him some air time plus we are all lovin' on that rather rad Criss Angel look he got going on there (not!). Yeah, well, after seeing their clothing of choice for him I'm thinking we need to haul this pic back out again!
Regardless, I'm such a fond fan of the original I'm really looking forward to the hot mess of a remake, it could be good…maybe?
How about you?
Any movies you're looking forward to this Summer?

I wants the palettes.
Anything for you?
5/19/11 12:35 Tina:
I just got some Essence things the other day. Sadly, my Ulta's don't have those items in store yet and online those eye palettes are out of stock. (wails)
Their new nail polishes are to die for though…I see myself owning most of them. haha!
5/19/11 12:39 lexi:
I somehow stumbled upon these blonde-brunette bronzers a while back…I think they're avail in the UK already (of course, right Musey?!?! we Yanks always miss out). I was immediately interested.
I would like to check out these bronzers since they are matte. also, I just ordered a new Royal & Langnickel brush that it supposed to be awesome for bronzer/contouring – like a large version of the MAC 109. It is their SILK line C180.
bully for me
5/19/11 12:50 lexi:
also- just went to the Ulta website, these bronzers are alreaddy temp. sold out! meh.
I want to get one of their gel liners, too – the color sounds cool (did some google image searches): Gel Eyeliner in London Baby
5/19/11 12:59 Audris:
I can't believe the price! Much likey 😀
5/19/11 14:47 Daisy:
The products are great but I can never find the trend products at the Ulta stores near me.
5/19/11 15:33 auroragyps:
Looking forward to Fright Night too. The original scared the bejeesus out of me. I was thrilled to hear Tennant was going to be in it thinking, "Oh, I can totally see him in the Roddy McDowall role (which I loved). Stuffy Brit in tweed… very Rupert Giles." Then I saw the pics & thought it was a cool & modern twist. The fact that you hardly see him in the trailer is an insult. Please, we know who Colin Ferrel is & we get he's a dangerous vampire, but please. Now I'm kind of worried they may have botched this, making it more of a "crazy psycho neighbor" movie instead of a classic "vampire next door" one.
Also, loving the Essence stuff. Hoping to get to the most local Ulta next month.
5/19/11 18:13 emily:
I don't know anyone else who loved the original Fright Night- it's kind of a random choice for my favorite movie of all time, but it's there nonetheless along with Heathers and (inexplicably) Grease 2.
5/20/11 3:51 emily:
AWESOME- I like you a whole bunch more and I already liked you quite a lot :). Evil was the best part of Fright Night!
5/20/11 9:42 JoElla:
ooh I want those shimmer bricks and the bronzers! I love a cheap priced shimmer bricks! I don't care who makes them, I actually find them to be on par as my Bobbi Brown Shimmer bricks! (Honest and truly!!)
And those bronzers look like they will promise not to turn orange on me!
5/20/11 12:39 Miss D:
Welcome to Fright Night…for real! XD
Oh my gosh, Fright Night is one of my favorite movies- I pretty much know the whole script! And Chris Sarandon is so hot in it (why the "Charlie" character in this so ugly I'll never know).
Anyway, I'm seeing this w/my cousin b/c she's such a big fan of Colin's but we both think this won't be nearly as good as the original.
*sheds a tear*
BTW- Thanks for posting the trailer Muse!
5/20/11 17:11 Miss D:
Okay, because you like Christopher so much, I'll have to pay close attention to the Evil Ed character (I have never seen this actor before).
2/13/12 15:18 Amy Winehouse:
That mascara is sooooo NOT GOOD! D:
so 1 tip, don't buy that !!! it has hairs on it…

Companion forum thread to:MYOG Goes to the Mountains
Not having a lot of time, I only browsed the pictures in this article. I looooooooooove how the pack looks. It really looks closely to how I'd make a pack. Can we get more details? I'd love an MYOG article about this pack, but at a minimum I'd really like more pictures.Eins
Jamie,Great trip report, very nice pictures and writting. Thanks for making the time to post, your efforts are appreciated. I would like to see BPL continue with such articles. The site has a number of diverse individuals with similar abilities.
A great report highlighting both the MYOG ethos as well as how we go about putting that gear to good use. Great story and photos!
Nice trip report. The pack and tent look excellent ^_^
thanks for the write up, really enjoyed that
Great job on all the gear. You put those with underused sewing machines to shame!
Great write up Jamie. Enjoyed the read.
Well told story with excellent pictures. Great job on your MYOG.Terrific mileage especially when you throw in all those trips up the fire tower.Lots of black bears in the Smokies for sure!Thanks for your good work.
Enjoyed your trip report. Gear looks great too.
Jamie,I was bitten by the MYOG bug in 2009 and I am not in search of a cure. :-)There is nothing like the satisfaction of making your own gear, taking it out on the trail and meeting up with success.Congratulations on doing both and thanks for sharing your experiences with us. The pictures were great but I have yet to be able to find the bear. ;-)The gearlist is great. It is always nice to be able to "peak" into another hiker's pack and learn from what is or is not carried.Thanks again for all the good work done on your article.Party On,Newton
Great trip report and beautiful pics to go with it. Thank you for sharing.
that was a great read! thanks.
Hey, good story and photos. You inspire me to do some MYOG projects. Most of my MYOG projects to date have been merely modifications of commercial gear. Your tent looks interesting. As for a sleeping pad pack, well, mine would absolutely have to have 2 thin aluminum stays as in my REI Cruise UL 60. Tried the mattress-as-pack-frame and tried it again with no satisfaction above 20 lbs. Sometimes I need to carry food for 10 days plus 3 L. of water for dry stretches here in the southwest. That can put me above 25 lbs.Keep on posting about your MYOG gear. Very interesting.
Edited by Danepacker on 08/11/2010 13:40:23 MDT.
All, Many thanks to everyone for reading and commenting. Also I really appreciate Addie's help. She makes the process of submitting an article painless and does the hard work of getting it ready for the site. Jamie
Jamie, well done. The article was well writtten, included a nice mixture of gear, lists and story. A great read with pictures! BPL needs more articles like this!Michael
Adding to the chorus -- yes, great write up! Thanks!
Looked at your website.Very nice set of gear you have there.Nice article.
A good read. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Really enjoyed it.
cool trip for sure. I was there at 29 a few weeks later with friends & scouts. Bear was in camp all evening & morning. I have Ray-Way tarp,net tent,quilt & GG homemade pack. ray way homemade as well. will post some pics if figure out how

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- For five decades the city of Bowling Green has held a junior golf championship tournament and Wednesday afternoon the 50th champion was crowned.
Warren East's Christian Tooley and Bowling Green's Jackson Berryman needed a playoff to finally decide a winner but when the final ball filled the cup it was Berryman reaching down to claim victory.
"Me and Christian walked down the fairway and neither one of us had been in a playoff before, ever. So it was our first time we didn't really know what to expect and I just got lucky, pulled through,' Berryman said.
"Losing in front of your friends isn't fun but at the same time this is a really well ran and fun tournament and Bowling Green Parks and Rec really put on a good tournament, it was a lot of fun," Tooley said.

Red Radishes Stuffed with Blue Cheese
- 45 red radishes
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 pound blue cheese, softened
Trim the root ends of the radishes so that the radishes stand securely and with a 1/2-inch melon-ball cutter scoop out a small cavity from each stem end, dropping the radishes as they are cut into a bowl of ice water. (The radishes may be prepared 4 hours ahead and kept chilled in the ice water.)
In a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a bowl with an electric mixer, cream the butter and the blue cheese and transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Transfer the radishes cavity side down to paper towels and let them drain for 5 minutes. Invert the radishes, pipe the blue cheese butter decoratively into them, and arrange the radishes on a jelly-roll pan. Chill the radishes for 1 to 2 hours, or unitl the filling is firm. Arrange the hors d'oeuvres decoratively on a platter.

COLUMN: Live owls waste of $15,000
I was informed that these would be living, breathing, defecating owls. Absolutely the real thing.
Then they told me the price tag: a whopping $15,000. And that was just for the building they would have to construct for these poor birds.
That figure doesn't include the cost of food, maintenance or owl crud-removal.
Now, who is making these proposals, anyway?
Can't you guys think of better ways to spend $15,000?
Really. I could have a great time coming up with ways to spend $15,000.
Let me give it a try.
* Improve Central Kitchen. This must be the number one complaint on this campus. CK gets lower approval ratings than Lyndon LaRouche at a Republican National Convention.
* PARTY! What better way to spend university cash than on glorious, hedonist, worldly pleasures?
* Donate the money to charity. If we chose to propagate the wishes of this university's benefactor and namesake, Mr. William Marsh Rice, then we would certainly and immediately direct these funds to the local chapter of the hungry off-campus students.
* Buy 30 tons of licorice. I love red licorice. If any of you are having a tough time finding me a present for my birthday (April 23), just buy me a mound of licorice. You will never see me happier.
* Construct a building for the squirrels instead. It could be a sort of petting zoo. Maybe we could change our mascot to the Friendly Squirrels.
* Build a new statue. This campus just doesn't have enough statues. Build a statue of me. Sacrifice animals in my name. Pray to my statue daily.
* Offer any local politician a bribe. Find out just how shallow the morals of our elected officials really are.
* Give the money to the Mafia (not the MOB). Ask for a hit man to take down Bevo.
It really is too bad that I don't have the personal authority to tell the SA how to spend that $15,000.
Certainly, it would be a project that would give me much amusement. Enjoy the nice weather, kids.
Just remember that all your buddies from high school who chose to go to some snotty Ivy League school in the Northeast are standing in two feet of snow and won't see the sun again until March. Happy holidays, everybody.

Lydia Long: Economic solutions to crime and education
America's war on crime must look at the full range of solutions and pay special attention to giving those who are most likely to turn to crime the skills and incentives to make better choices.
Economists suggest we should consider new crime-fighting programs that are based on economic principles. With close to SEVEN million people under correctional supervision, states cannot afford to continue supporting huge prison populations. Texas alone spends more than $3 billion per year operating its correctional system.
It's time to examine some economic solutions to crime. Economic theories of crime are based on the premise that crime is a choice. Hedonistic calculus is the premise that most of us have a lot to lose if we get caught, if we commit a crime and generally the temptations of crime are not strong enough to outweigh the costs. However, the calculus for an unemployed dropout with readily available criminal options and few licit prospects is likely to appear quite different. While character and culture can influence decisions, bottom line, crime seen as the best available option. The threat of arrest and imprisonment is sharper for those who have something to lose, so giving at-risk people a bigger stake in the law-abiding life is a deterrent to crime.
In today's labor market, people who don't have high school diplomas have poor job prospects and very little to lose in economic terms, so it's not surprising that two-thirds of the inmates in state prisons are high school dropouts. In about half the states, it's legal to drop out of school at age 16 but between the 1960s and '80s, some states increased their minimum age to 17 or 18. Those changes provide a natural experiment in the effects of extra schooling on crime. Researchers found that people in the birth cohorts that were forced to stay in school longer had lower crime and incarceration rates as adults than their predecessors did. One extra year of high school reduced arrest rates for young men by about 11 percent.
At a time when state budgets are under severe strain, an increase in mandatory school attendance would be a huge burden. But, additional money for schools could come out of the states' prison budgets. If prison sentences were adjusted to reduce the size of the prison population by about 400,000 people (the best estimate is that longer prison terms account for about a third of the increase in the nation's prison population), spending on corrections would decline by about $12 billion, enough to fund an additional 1 million students per year.
Additional schooling would have a range of positive effects beyond crime reduction. People who earn high school diplomas enjoy better health, improved employment prospects, and greater success in forming families. The same can't be said about those who serve longer prison terms.
As a nation we have the highest incarceration rate in the world.
Currently, our prisons warehouse individuals who use incarceration as an opportunity to hone their skills. They have nothing to lose and nothing invested in our community, and thus no reason to stay out of prison. Prisons are no longer a viable solution to crime control. We need to stop funding our crime control solutions on emotions and turn to economic long term solutions.

MetLife highlights need for adequate life insurance,
especially among women
by Bruce Shutan
Women may live longer than men, but that doesn't
mean that they should have less life insurance protection than their
male counterparts. However, MetLife research finds that a gender gap
persists with regard to life insurance ownership.
"One of the most common trends we see in the benefits space is
that Americans are underinsured for life insurance and that it's
even a bigger issue for women than for men," says Todd Katz,
senior vice president of MetLife U.S. Business.
MetLife's 7th annual Employee Benefits Trends Study found that
working women generally hold only about two years worth of their salary
in life insurance, whereas working men have about three years worth of
their salary. Those amounts are considered insufficient in most cases,
regardless of gender, and can leave families unprepared. The impact of
being underinsured on an employee's beneficiaries can be
Additional MetLife research shows that about two-thirds of women are
concerned about their family's financial future in the event of
their own premature death while about half of men voiced such worries. A
key place to make an impact on a family's financial safety net is
in the workplace with employee education, since more than half the women
surveyed don't believe or aren't sure that the amount of
life insurance coverage they have is adequate.
Raising awareness
The economy has led to greater employee appreciation of workplace
benefits, and non-medical benefits, such as a life insurance, are a
growing influence on employee loyalty. For example, according to the
MetLife study, 69% of employees say non-health benefits are a strong
influence on their workplace loyalty up from 51% in 2007 – and
despite difficult personnel decisions, employee retention remains
employers' top benefits objective.
To help eliminate the differences in life insurance coverage, ensure
appropriate coverage levels and improve benefits satisfaction, employers
and brokers can do a great deal to empower female employees to be more
aware of their needs and make more confident decisions about their
financial future, according to Katz. "We think a few strategic
actions can increase the overall value of the employee benefit plan for
all stakeholders."
He further observes that the economy has become "a catalyst for
employees to move from intent to action in terms of taking steps to
determine their needs to deal with a premature death or disability. It
is important to encourage these employees' actions with effective
benefits communications, particularly as they are looking to their
employers for information and assistance to help guide their benefit
Women especially have said they welcome personalized information
about the right amount of insurance to purchase and how much it will
cost, as well as learning more about their employee benefits. In fact,
according to MetLife's 7th annual Employee Benefits Trends Study,
49% of working women and 43% of working men said it would be easier to
make benefits choices if they received a personalized benefits
Strategic Steps
Employers are uniquely positioned to take a leadership role in
helping their female employees maximize their life insurance coverage,
to take action and solidify their financial safety net. MetLife suggests
a variety of strategies to help both employers and their employees
accomplish this goal.
For example, Katz encourages employers to tailor communications
specifically for their female employees. "Life events such as
marriage, divorce or the birth of a child remind employees that their
financial needs can change as their lives change. Creating unique
messaging tailored specifically for female employees around particular
life events can increase awareness around the need and benefits of life
In addition, employers should offer the opportunity to purchase
supplemental life coverage through the workplace. This gives all
employees a method to purchase additional levels of coverage based on
their personal needs with the ease and convenience the workplace
Katz also suggests promoting life insurance during a period other
than during the annual open-enrollment season. For example, he believes
that an off-cycle enrollment, which includes ongoing communications with
employees throughout the year, helps employees feel more engaged in the
benefits process.
Finally, MetLife suggests employers offer a variety of online tools
and other educational resources to help all employees understand the
amount of life insurance coverage they need and help them easily enroll
in the right plan.
"By understanding and implementing these strategies, employers
can help their female employees make more confident decisions about
planning for their financial futures," says Katz. "Focused,
engaged and confident employees are the end goal for all

"If you've not already downloaded iOS 6.1 for your iPhone 4S, please hold off for the next version while Apple fixes 3G performance issues," reads a text message sent out by Vodafone to iPhone customers.
The provider of wireless services carrying iPhones worldwide has released a statement this week advising owners of Apple smartphones to refrain from upgrading to the latest software update.
The reason? Intermittent issues with cellular connectivity on 3G. Vodafone says Apple is aware of the issue and suggests that a fix will be released soon.
"We're aware of an issue caused by Apple iPhone 4s handsets that have been upgraded to iOS 6.1 which impacts performance on 3G," Vodafone said in a statement on its website.
The carrier explained that affected customers "may occasionally experience difficulty in connecting to the network to make or receive calls or texts or to connect to the Internet."
"Apple is working on a solution to their software issue," the carrier confirmed. "While Apple's investigations continue, we would recommend that anyone who has not yet installed iOS 6.1 on their iPhone 4s should delay doing so until Apple has confirmed that their problem has been fixed."
The warning comes a bit too late as millions of customers worldwide have already taken the plunge. Roughly seven million of those have already jailbroken their devices using evasi0n, a hack tool from an emergent team of coders called the "evad3rs."
New threads on Apple Support Communities discuss the never-ending battery life issue on various iDevice models, including numerous iPhones on iOS 6.1.
However, it is worth pointing out that some customers are actually seeing improved battery life after the update to iOS 6.1.
One user identified as Michael Ginsberg says "I upgraded to iOS 6.1 a few hours ago and I must say that my iPhone 5 (previously running iOS 6.0.2) is getting insane battery life."
"I have been using my iPhone for almost 45 minutes, standy [sic] for 2 hours and the iPhone is still at 100%. This is just crazy."

British Studies At Oxford Dean Publishes Six-Volume Cultural History of Gardens
Publication Date: 6/24/2013
Dr. Michael Leslie's Cultural History of Gardens (Bloomsbury Academic) is scheduled to be released in July. This set of six volumes covers over 2,500 years of gardens as physical, social and artistic spaces, combining the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on gardens through history. In addition to contributing three separate essays on verbal representations of gardens, Leslie served as editor of the "Medieval" volume and general coeditor (with John Dixon Hunt) of the entire series.
Leslie teaches courses in the Department of English and also is Dean of Rhodes' British Studies At Oxford. The founding editor of The Journal of Garden History, he chaired the Committee of Senior Fellows in Landscape at Dumbarton Oaks and has published on early modern culture and the intersections between literature, art history, history of science and agriculture, and garden history.

2013 Ford Fusion Energi Earns Five-Star NHTSA Rating (W/Videos)
Still overweight
The competition package is a joke! it is just a way to get money out of the consumer. The competition package m5 should be what the stock m5 is... if I am paying 6 figures after options it better be the best the company has to offer not some watered down version just so they can justify selling a slightly hotter version of their supposed hottest sedan... it isnt even like a weight saving package it is just a slight power bump and suspension tuning... the only package worth paying more for on an m5 would be a csl one not this bean counter performance "upgrade" to make money.

"Both sides have behaved badly and will have to step back from the precipice, if Kerry plays it right.

FOOD; Dough A La Mode
By William Grimes
Published: June 6, 2004
I recently grabbed a quick bite at Bar Masa, in the new Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. The bar has a short menu, so ordering was simple. The waiter proposed a plate of assorted sashimi at $85. I accepted. Sea-eel tempura sounded like a nice way to start off, and corn croquettes, in a Japanese restaurant, seemed weird but interesting. My eye wandered to an Asian-style risotto of lobster and black truffles. Irresistible, so why resist? -- although $34 was pushing the upper limit on what was, when you got down to it, a glorified bar menu. The bill for two, with no dessert and no drinks, was about $200.
Spending that kind of money on an abbreviated dinner should have elicited at least a twinge of guilt. Two hundred dollars, for the average American struggling to make do in tough times, is no small thing. I did some soul-searching but found that my only regret was not getting a table next door at Masa, where the owner and chef, Masa Takayama, creates menuless meals of five appetizers and a 15-fish main course. The price is $300 per diner.
In nearly five years of reviewing restaurants for this newspaper, I spent that much, and sometimes more, on dinner. Invariably, the ensuing review, with its heartfelt evocations of foie gras, caviar, Kobe beef, truffles and Champagne, would provoke outrage in a certain class of reader. The letters, and occasionally the voice-mail messages, all expressed the same sentiment: How could you? In a world where millions of children go hungry, where famine haunts broad swaths of Africa and Asia, where the $200 spent on a bottle of Bordeaux could go far to alleviating a destitute family's misery -- how could you?
I wanted to feel guilt. Honestly, I did. But among the many emotions I experienced as a reviewer -- happiness, annoyance, amusement, boredom, bliss, rage -- guilt never figured. I was more likely to get worked up over the price of parking in a garage than I was at the $150 for a splash of 19th-century Madeira or the $50 extra for a sprinkling of white truffles. Parking garages perform a function, but truffles delight the palate, a much higher calling. Unfortunately, in the United States, where even serial killers are considered innocent until proved otherwise, all sorts of harmless pleasures are routinely described as guilty.
May I mount a defense? Most arguments against fine dining as frivolous, excessive and somehow morally wrong rest on one of two propositions, both of them false. The first is utilitarian. The food that goes into my mouth comes out of someone else's. In this Malthusian view, the total food supply is seen as a large pie. Rich people push forward to the table and cut big slices for themselves, leaving their poorer fellow citizens to slice the pie thinner and thinner until, in the end, the truly desperate fight over a single cherry. On an international scale, it is greedy Westerners who load up at the expense of everyone else.
No one, rationally, believes in the pie-chart model. Food surpluses pose as much a problem as food shortages, and famines, it turns out, usually have political causes that require political solutions. There is food available, but the wrong people, like warlords or autocrats, have wrested control of it. But the pie chart lingers in the collective unconscious, or at least in the minds of readers who write letters to restaurant reviewers. The thought of one man feasting at Alain Ducasse while another eats a bowl of rice is intolerable, an economic crime.
There is something amiss in this reasoning. Disparity of incomes and national wealth might or might not be unjust. I'll leave that to others to sort out. But the $500 Manolo Blahnik shoe, the $50,000 car or the $3,000 television set is not, in and of itself, a wrong. And I'm willing to bet that a thorough audit of my impassioned letter writers would turn up one or more of the aforementioned items. For the record, I drove a Honda Civic to many of my dinners, rather than an S.U.V., which means that any potential food guilt should have been prorated by a formula calculating miles per gallon saved. I might also point out that restaurants employ people.
The second objection to fine dining is moral. It boils down to this: It is all right to enjoy food, but not too much. It is all right to eat out, but not to spend too much money doing it. There are two moral impulses intertwined here, the ancient prohibition against gluttony and the more modern Puritan objection to indulging pleasure for its own sake. Add to this ethical cocktail a twist of American pragmatism, the belief that money not spent usefully is money wasted. And what can be more useless than several hundred dollars applied to a six-course French meal that lasts four hours?
Feelings on this issue run high. In 1975, Craig Claiborne, The Times's food editor and restaurant critic, bid $300 at a charity auction for the right to eat anywhere in the world, no expense spared, with American Express picking up the bill. His account of the meal appeared on the front page of the newspaper under the headline, ''Just a Quiet Dinner for Two in Paris: 31 Dishes, Nine Wines, a $4,000 Check.'' Angry letters poured in by the thousands. Even the Vatican spoke out, denouncing the meal as ''scandalous.''

Gun Control redux
When a mass shooting took place in an Aurora, CO movie theater this past July, CNN's Piers Morgan took the gun control demagoguery to Twitter before the bodies were cold.
"Horrendous details from this Colorado cinema shooting. America has got to do something about its gun laws. Now is the time."That particular statement was little more than a emotional reaction, not to mention devoid of any factual context.
So in the aftermath of the tragic murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, Morgan once again hopped on Twitter to enlighten second amendment supporters. Unfortunately for him, he attempted to provide context to the second amendment, something which caught the attention of Carol Roth.
What ensued was Morgan getting verbally gutted for all of cyberspace to see.
Since that exchange took place, Twitterverse has blown up with requests for Morgan to have on Ms. Roth as a guest on his CNN show.
Finally a reason to tune in to Morgan's program......maybe. Stay tuned!

This package supports the following driver models:Fujitsu Windows 2000 Driver
The Stylistic Q555 is a "semi-rugged" 10-inch 2-in-1 device, while the Stylistic Q335 is an 8-inch tablet. Both are available with either Windows 8.1 with Bing or Windows 8.1 Pro.
The portables include pair of convertible notebooks and what the company calls the world's thinnest 14-inch Ultrabook.
Fujitsu's 'split personality' Q702 Windows 8-based tablet will be aimed directly at business users. But has it got the chops to go up against the raft of other Windows 8 devices?
Microsoft's Terry Myerson says the company has released the Mango version of its Windows Phone to mobile handset manufacturers and carriers, who will preinstall it on new smartphones. Nokia has been waiting for Mango to appear before launching WP7 products, but the first to be publicly unveiled will be the Toshiba-Fujitsu IS12T, which is being shown at a press conference in Tokyo at 10am on Wednesday.
Fujitsu's Stylistic Q550 has a functional and robust design. We appreciate the removable battery, while the Infinity Lounge Windows 7 overlay has potential. However, performance is mediocre and internal storage sparse. There should also be a housing on the chassis for the stylus.

Microsoft unveiled new Mango handsets and promised more progress for Windows Phone 7 at WPC this week, as it shrugged off lacklustre enthusiasm among device buyers
Remember those "private cloud in a box" Windows Azure appliances that Microsoft announced a year ago? There's finally a ship date slated for the first of them.
Window Phone 7 officially launches the Mango update that puts "people at the center, not apps" of the mobile communication experience -- and it shows.
Fujitsu has announced a Windows 7 hybrid with a sliding keyboard is going on sale in Japan. The TH Series tablet is a 10.1-inch multitouch slate with a full keyboard that slides out when needed.
There's a new Windows 7 slate coming to town (starting in April this year) that Microsoft is hoping may give the company at least a temporary answer to Apple's iPad and the various Android slates coming to market this year.
Fujitsu plans to bring Azure capabilities into its Stevenage datacentre next year and to start offering migration services for Microsoft's cloud platform
Toyota's Australian division has revealed it will upgrade its desktop fleet to Windows 7 as part of a new four-year IT services deal with its incumbent supplier Fujitsu.
Microsoft is making good on its promise to allow enterprise customers buy Windows Azure preconfigured in datacenter containers from selected partners.On Juy 12, the company took the wraps off the name for this offering -- Windows Azure Platform Appliance -- and said Dell, Fujitsu and Hewlett Packard were all -to sell this offering.
The companies will merge their mobile phone divisions to become the "number one provider of mobile phones in Japan" and improve business efficiency
Fujitsu has stayed committed to Windows-based tablet PC's longer than most, and it's not stopping now. The company has just made its new LifeBook T900 series available on its Website, a 13.
I owned a couple UMPC devices in the past (Samsung Q1 and Fujitsu U810), but then decided to stick with a MSI Wind netbook for my mobile computing needs. James has me actually considering a new slate ultra-portable computer though with his extensive posts on the upcoming Viliv S5 device. This computer is quite compact and has some great specs such as the 1.33 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 60GB hard drive, 4.8 inch 1024x600 resolution touch screen display, WiFi, Bluetooth, integrated GPS receiver, and Windows XP.
Fujitsu is working on a steering wheel-mounted drowsiness sensor that will detect subtle changes in the driver's heart rate and respond with various wake-up calls, including opening the windows, blasting the radio and jolting the wheel. Seriously unconscious drivers might get all three at once.
I find myself suspecting that there is something very strange wrong with Windows XP SP3, or at least with the installation procedure for it. I had been running this Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 with Windows XP Professional for several months when SP3 came out.

Optics and photonics leaders from around the world including President-Elect Philip Stahl of SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, last month presented the widely supported International Year of Light (IYOL) proposal to representatives from United Nations (UN) Member States and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) at the UN Headquarters in New York.
The 16 May meeting was hosted by the Permanent Mission of Mexico to the UN, which, along with Ghana, New Zealand, and the Russian Federation, submitted the original IYOL proposal to the UNESCO Executive Board in October 2012. Following that board's adoption of the proposed resolution, 30 more countries became cosignatories.
With UNESCO endorsement for the IYOL and last month's meeting, the proposal will now move forward towards consideration for adoption by the UN General Assembly.
"The optics and photonics community certainly knows of the importance of light and light-based technology," said Dr. Stahl, a member of the IYOL Advisory Board. "Light underpins the world economy, enables a sustainable future, offers tremendous advances in human health and medicine, and inspires us to appreciate the beauty of our natural world and human culture. But these contributions are often invisible to the policy makers of the world and the general public. The UN declaring an International Year of Light willl help make light more visible and increase its appreciation."
The delegation of senior researchers in New York also included Ana Mara Cetto from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM); Yanne Chembo Kouomou from the African Physical Society; John Dudley of the Universit de Franche-Comt, President of the European Physical Society; and Anthony Johnson of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Past-President of The Optical Society and representative of ICTP, the International Centre for Theoretical Physics.'/>"/>

Evan Smith isnt in the business of dashing hopes, but as a screenwriting professor and a private script consultant, he has seen the curtain close on many dreams.
The business is structured to make it very, very difficult for a newcomer to break in, said Mr. Smith, a professor of radio, television and film at Syracuse Universitys S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. That helps to weed out those who are untalented.
Mr. Smith joined the New-house faculty in 1995 after working in the television-film industry for 16 years. As a screenwriter, he wrote comedy and drama for Paramount, MTM, Fox, USA and other producers. Before that, he was a television development vice president in charge of TV movies, specials and series.
Mr. Smith is also known for his screenwriting seminars and articles and is the author of the book Writing Television Sitcoms. He also serves as a private script consultant for entertainment companies and screenwriters. In 2013, he was one of two professors in the country to receive the Teaching Excellence Award from the University Film and Video Association.
Mr. Smith talked in a phone interview about the challenges aspiring screenwriters face.
Agents and managers find that its not profitable to sign new talent, Mr. Smith said. They make their money off of established talent that isnt so hard to put into the next gig.
For some students and aspiring screenwriters who are full of hope, thats tough to hear.
A hope that is quickly dashed is that they can write a screenplay, send it off to some manager or agent and have that person call back and say, I want to represent you! Sit back and relax, Ill do everything. Thats the fantasy.
But screenwriting takes lots of work and not just the putting-down-words part.
Half of screenwriting is selling, unfortunately, Mr. Smith said. Writers, more often than not, are creative, introspective types. They dont really care for selling. But if they dont do it, theyll never see their work optioned, purchased or produced.
He said the vast majority of submissions that come in to producers are horrible that is, if you can get the attention of a producer.
Sadly, so many people are lured by the excitement of Hollywood that the competition to get your material read is massive, Mr. Smith said. As a result, the people who are supposed to be developing material set up walls to prevent you from getting to them. Its a real paradox.
Location also matters, he said.
Long-distance pitching is not a path to success, he said. Theres one city, Los Angeles, where 90 percent of the stuff is bought, developed, produced and distributed. Maybe New York City has the other 10 percent.
Its also tough for a screenwriter to get an agent, Mr. Smith said.
If you call up 10 agents, at least nine are not going to take your call, he said. And the tenth will try to get rid of you.
The pitch for a screenplay must be concise and brief, usually a one-sentence script summary. In the industry, such pitches are called loglines.
If the logline passes muster with a producer, the screenwriter will be asked to further describe the story.
Theyre listening to you and theyre also looking subconsciously for reasons to pass on your project, Mr. Smith said. If you say a couple of things that are red flags, you are going to hear a pass.
And if a persons script is green-lighted, theres always the problem of trying to get the next one noticed.
Just because you sell one script doesnt mean youll sell another script, Mr. Smith said. Its incredibly hard. But of course, the brass ring is pretty exciting to get your name up on the screen, to be able to work as a storyteller and get paid for it thats very interesting.
