Park Update
Yellowstone National Park
Non-Commercially Guided Snowmobile Access Program — Yellowstone National Park Lottery is now open for winter 2014-15 permit access.
Yellowstone Self-Guided Snowmobile Tour — New Opportunity!
NEW for the first time in over 15-years is the opportunity for a limited number of people to enter Yellowstone as a self-guided group. This provision is known as the Non-Commercially Guided Snowmobile Access Program (N-CGSAP). You may now register as the guide and take your family or group into Yellowstone National Park to see the park as few people ever experience. The National Park Service is allowing up to five snowmobiles (single or double rider) to enter the park each day as a group. So grab the family and head on up to West Yellowstone this winter.
If you own a park approved snowmobile or need to rent one of ours, we are here to help make it happen.
As with most government procedures, it can get rather confusing . So in order to make it simple, just call us at 800-221-1151 to speak with one of our reservation and vacation specialists.
The National Park Service announced the launch of the N-CGSAP on September 3, 2014.
SeeYellowstone.com recommends taking the following steps to navigate the N-CGSAP and plan your vacation effectively. If you would like information about our guided snowmobile tours, please call 800-221-1151 or click here.
- You must first enter the lottery selection (Sept. 3 – Oct. 3, 2014) for registered visitors on the recreation.gov website. (After completion of the lottery selection, any dates that remain open for visitors to receive permits will have them issued on a first-come, first-serve basis.) Visit www.recreation.gov and register for the dates you would like to visit Yellowstone National Park. The group leader that registers is considered the guide for that group and must be 18-years old by the first day of your visit. You must have your confirmation number and dates before going to step #2.
- Secure rental snowmobiles by contacting SeeYellowstone.com or verify that your machines meet the standards to enter Yellowstone as defined by the National Park Service. Check the approved snowmobile list here.
- Make lodging reservations in West Yellowstone. SeeYellowstone.com can make your lodging, snowmobiles, and rental clothing into a customized package for you. By contacting our vacation planners, they can make lodging reservations at the same time you secure snowmobile rentals.
- Have each snowmobile operator complete the online Yellowstone Snowmobile Education Certification program, which will be available starting November 2014. Each operator must also have with them a state-issued driver's license.
- Organize and gather your equipment including but not limited to snowmobile specific clothing (not ski clothing) including a helmet, and a survival kit including a complete first aid kit for each member of your party. *SeeYellowstone.com will provide a FREE required park approved first-aid and survival kit when you rent snowmobiles from us. Also when renting from us, you will receive hands-on rental machine orientation and snowmobile safety and operating instruction.
- Check in with a ranger at the appropriate gate on the morning of your trip. Snowmobiling hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.—plan to be out of the park by 9 p.m. on the last day of your trip. If you have a one-day trip, you must leave the park by 9 p.m. of that day. *All Snowmobile rentals are available beginning at 8 AM, and for safety reasons must be returned by 5 PM.
Be aware of the weather—winter conditions can and do change rapidly in this high-mountain region. The park will not offer trip refunds due to poor or severe weather conditions.
Give a copy of your itinerary to a trusted friend or relative in case of emergency.
Come see Yellowstone this winter, and experience sights that few people have ever seen.
Three Bear Lodge has been taking snowmobiles and snowcoaches into Yellowstone for 40 years, and we are excited about this new self-guided opportunity. Last year we introduced a new concept snowcoach, the Yellowstone Grizz. So plan to take snowmobiles one day, and then relax and take a guided tour on one of our snowcoaches the next. Click here for information about our snowcoach tours.
Winter Use UPDATE
Update: February 16th 2014
The "Winter Use" plan in Yellowstone nears completion.
Over the past 15 years, much uncertainty regarding snowmobile and snowcoaches access has existed as Yellowstone completed a number of Environmental Impact Statement. Each of these had different outcomes. During these years public access in the winter was sometimes quite tenuous. Through it all we have championed the charge to keep Yellowstone open.
Finally, October 23, 2013 the Federal Register published the Final Rule which provides for snowmobile and snowcoach access over the next ten years. Once again the public will be able to plan with certainty their vacations well in advance, knowing the Park will be open.
Exciting times are ahead. The vehicles that will be used in the future must meet the new NPS standards using the Best Available Technology (BAT). These oversnow vehicles will be less intrusive on the environment and will also provide greater visitor comfort and safety.
For example, See Yellowstone Tours Inc. helped design and has contracted with SnoBear USA to build a new snowcoach from the ground up to be environmentally friendly and more economical while providing greater guest comfort. We unveiled this new concept snowcoach, named the "Yellowstone Grizz", Dec. 15, 2014 exclusively for use in Yellowstone. The Yellowstone Grizz pictured here has the allure of a unique over snow vehicle that "begs" to be ridden through the beauties of Yellowstone in the winter. It was built with many environmental features not available in the retrofitted snowcoaches that we and other operators currently use.
Whether by snowmobile or snowcoach, you may plan on your Yellowstone vacation with certainty. Some of the operators may change but the public is assured access into Yellowstone Park in the winter for the Next 10 years and probably beyond.
We will update this page as and when new information is made available.
Spring Road Openings:
(Provisional dates)
The approximate dates that roads will open to motorized, wheeled vehicles are as follows:
Update: March 17th 2014
The North Entrance to Northeast Entrance at Silver Gate and Cooke City, Montana is open all year. Please note that this road is closed to east/west travel just east of Cooke City from late fall to early spring.
The approximate dates that roads will open to motorized, wheeled vehicles are as follows:
- April 18: Mammoth to Old Faithful; Madison to West Entrance; Norris to Canyon.
- May 2: Canyon to Lake; Lake to East Entrance (Lake is one mile south of Fishing Bridge).

Additionally in the spring, before park roads open to motorized vehicles, some roads are open to non-motorized recreational vehicles such as bicycles, roller skis, and roller blades. There will be some administrative vehicles traveling the roads at this time so be careful.
The summer season runs from approximately mid-April to the beginning of November.
Park Areas, Entrances and Roads open on different dates and are dependent on weather condition. Once an Entrance/Road opens, it is open 24 hours a day. The only exceptions are caused by road construction and weather-related restrictions.
Approximate closing dates
October 9 —Roads close to the public at Tower Fall to Canyon Jct. and Long Lake via Beartooth Pass to the Montana Stateline. (GATES CLOSE AT 8 A.M.).
November 4 —all park roads closed to the public at 8 a.m. except from the North Entrance to Upper Mammoth Terrace, and Mammoth via Tower Junction to Northeast Entrance. Cooke City via Colter Pass to the Long Lake gate is not maintained for wheeled vehicle travel.
Fall weather is unpredictable; roads may be closed temporarily by snow or other weather conditions. Snow tires or chains may be required. Please Note: The section of the Beartooth Highway (Highway 212), between the junction of Highway 296 and Red Lodge, Montana, closes in winter on a schedule determined by amount of snowfall. Travel between Red Lodge and the Northeast Entrance is not possible on Highway 212 until it opens again in the spring.
2014-2015 Winter Oversnow Vehicle PROVISIONAL Road Opening and Closing Schedule

The top four and relegation places in this season's Premier League may already be decided ahead of Sunday's final day of the campaign, but there's still plenty to play for.
For each place a team can gain in the final table, they will pocket an extra £1.2m, so there's a lot still at stake.
Here's a closer look at the figures.

Amish Mafia
The reality TV series
Amish Mafia
depicts the real-life exploits of Amish 'fixers' in Lancaster County.
[Collected via e-mail, December 2012]
Curious about that new show on the discovery channel "Amish mafia". Seems to be conflicting info about whether is a documentary, entirely fictional, partially true, based on partial truth etc. the show itself seems pretty absurd, somewhat believable at times but more curious about whether such groups actually exist within the Amish world.
"The Amish Mafia". After watching one episode I am wondering if this is a made for TV series, for entertainment purposes only, or if this is supposed to be a true story. There are several things about it that don't line up with what I know about the Amish. However, I also realize that things aren't always what they seem on the surface. A comment was made on Facebook about the series and I would like to find out the truth before I call the producer and state my objections
On 12 December 2012, the Discovery Channel debuted the reality series
Amish Mafia
, a program which follows the exploits of Lebanon Levi, who, with his three assistants (Alvin, Jolin, and John), works as a "fixer" to protect the close-knit Amish community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, tackling issues such as tracking down the driver of a car who ran into a buggy and confronting a community leader who has been engaging in regular liaisons with a prostitute at a motel:
Untrusting of outside law enforcement, some Amish in Lancaster County, PA have for many years regularly turned to a small organized group of men for protection and justice. Discovery's new series
Amish Mafia
provides a first-ever look at the men who protect and maintain peace and order within the Amish community in Lancaster.
Lebanon Levi is the Amish insider who holds the power and serves as protector of the community for a price. He exists above the law and occupies the role of police, judge and jury. Levi's team engages in a life outside of Amish and
community codes as he quietly exerts his influence and control. Levi's brand of order is precise as he seeks to keep outside forces from infiltrating the Amish community,
while keeping the principles and morality within the community in check.
Levi's team is lean and fearless. Alvin is Levi's right hand man and nobody gets to Levi without going through Alvin first. A lifelong friend, Alvin is at first glance an average passive Amish community member. However, he has a dark side, a past, and most importantly, Levi's complete trust. Alvin will protect Levi at any cost.
Other group members include Jolin, a Mennonite who serves as Levi's foot soldier, and John, the youngest member of the group. As a non-Amish member of the group, Jolin has the freedom and ability to carry out punishments of all levels against offenders. John, the junior member of the group, is the son of the late former protector who maintained peace in the community for many years before Levi took power. John struggles with his desire to follow in his father's footsteps and take Levi's place as the head of the group.
This is a side of Amish society that exists under the radar, and the Amish church denies the group's existence. Amish Mafia provides eyewitness accounts of the incidents, misdeeds and wrongdoings within the Amish community, as well as a rare look at Levi and his team members who work together to maintain harmony.
Just how much "reality" (if any) is portrayed in
Amish Mafia
has been the subject of much debate, especially given that Discovery maintains the show portrays "a side of Amish society that exists under the radar, and the Amish church denies the group's existence." The consensus of critics holds that the show is both fictional and fully scripted and exploits the reluctance of the Amish to publicly speak out about negative and unrealistic portrayals of their culture. The
New York
Times noted in a review of the series:
The truth of the events portrayed in "Breaking Amish" has been widely contested, and the veracity of this new show is likely to be the subject of just as much debate.
An early credit warns of "select re-enactments," and since we're never later told whether we're watching staged scenes, it's fairly safe to assume that everything is staged. (A closing credit clarifies that
are based on eyewitness accounts, testimonials and the legend of the 'Amish Mafia'.")
The fictional vibe is reinforced by the clumsiness of the shakedowns, which seem stiff and awkward even for Amish country, and by the enthusiasm with which the four principals break the law on camera: shooting out a car window, cutting off a suspected adulterers buggy on the road and forcing their way into someone elses motel room.
Reality TV doesnt get much cheaper or crasser than this, and just to clinch its rock-bottom status, the show fills out its picture of rural menace by momentarily citing the 2006 mass shooting at a Lancaster County Amish school. Mostly, though, it gives us repeated images of its rural desperados waving shotguns and assault rifles and making threatening gestures with baseball bats. (The only time a weapon is used in anger is against that defenseless windshield.)
"Mafia" is supposedly about protecting the Amish, but of course the primary victims here are the Amish. What little tension the series generates depends on portraying them as backward and helpless, and on playing off their reputation for simplicity and rectitude by depicting them as philandering frauds. Theres some low comedy in the methods the "mafia" employ, staking out a motel like
private eyes and enforcing church rules against adultery as if they were a Muslim morality squad administering Shariah law.
David George expressed similar skepticism about
Amish Mafia
Im a native of Lancaster County and have an extended family full of Amish people. If the Amish mafia were as vital to peace in the county as Discovery suggests, someone like
me — especially
with my youthful strays off the straight-and-narrow — would at least have heard of these gangsters, if not have had a few run-ins with them.
However, much as with "Breaking Amish" and other "Amishploitation" productions, the characters in "Amish Mafia" are misrepresented as having been plucked from the core of the Amish community when, in fact, the individuals involved are either on the outer periphery of Amish life, outright fabrications, or are vulnerable or classless enough to make for the kind of personalities TV audiences could find compelling regardless of religious or ethnic affiliations (the business of tabloid and reality television is premised on an ample supply of such people). In the case of "Amish Mafia," thuggery and self-promotion certainly appear to be higher priorities of the featured "bosses" than the tenets of Amish religion.
Lancaster Online
tried to track down the bona fides of the
Amish Mafia
cast and found them lacking:
Lebanon Levi
On the show: Levi is the leader with a criminal past who meets clients and other appointments inside a hay-lined barn office. His alleged rap sheet was displayed in the debut episode as proof.
Reaction: Jeffrey Conrad, a local defense attorney and former prosecutor who has litigated "scores" of cases involving the Amish, said he asked his Amish connections directly about such a person.
"Who?" they responded, according to Conrad. "Across the board, no one heard of him."
A little fuzz-y
On the show: Listed atop Levi's "rap sheet" and mentioned by a show narrator as the arresting agency is "Lancaster County Police."
Reaction: Hard to dispute, there is no such thing. There is a Lancaster City Bureau of Police, but no countywide force.
Bad business
On the show: Members of the "mafia" are shown walking out of local stores tucking away envelopes of money, allegedly earned by protecting local merchants.
Reaction: At least one local business depicted in the show says it just isn't true. The business claims it never paid out protection fees.
Down by the river
On the show: Claiming to be based in the heart of Amish country — southcentral Lancaster County — one scene shows characters John and Esther chatting on a river bank.
Reaction: Locals are shaking their heads at this one, too. Many recognized the backdrop as a riverside park in Columbia, where the Amish population is next to nil. Not to mention, the location is on the county's western edge, which would represent quite the hike in a horse-drawn buggy.
One Columbia resident said: "I actually saw them setting up for the scene at the Columbia River Park while I was working. Totally staged."
As Elizabethtown College professor Donald Kraybill, a prominent researcher of Anabaptist culture, and others observed, genuine Amish folks wouldn't appear on camera, as the faith forbids it.
Michael Shank took an even harsher view of the series in the
Washington Post
If anyone thinks that the Discovery Channel is about actual discovery of, say, science, history, space, or tech, as their Web site claims, think again. Or if you think that its sister company, The Learning Channel (TLC), is about learning new insight or information, you are mistaken. After TLC's first run of the reality television show "Breaking Amish," with paid persons assuming the roles of rebellious
the Discovery Channel has produced a more scripted "Amish Mafia," admitting on their site that scenes are reenacted. The show brags a behind-the-scenes "first-ever look at the men who protect and maintain peace and order within the Amish."
They are wrong. The only thing that makes this endeavor a "first-ever" is that it's perhaps the most offensive production yet from Hollywood regarding Amish people, after a long litany of offenses, from "Kingpin," "For Richer or Poorer," "Amish in the City," "Deadly Blessing" and "Witness" among many others. Unfortunately, this trend of Amish and Mennonite mockery is nothing new.
Since their Christian faith doesnt support "graven images" (see the Ten Commandments), and since the Amish prioritize humility and view pride as a threat to community harmony, you wont see Amish spokespersons appearing before the press to defend their culture from a Discovery or Learning Channel attack. For Hollywood, then, they make for easy attack and a prime target.

Christopher Guest's Family Tree Debuting This Spring
Per the network, Family Tree is a "single-camera, documentary-style" series starring O'Dowd, Tom Bennett, Nina Conti and featuring Carrie Aizley, Bob Balaban, Ed Begley, Jr., Maria Blasucci, Matt Griesser, Christopher Guest, Don Lake, Michael McKean, Lisa Palfrey, Jim Piddock, Kevin Pollak, Amy Seimetz, Meera Syal, Ashley Walters and Fred Willard.
Guest says he was looking for someone who was both funny and that audiences could relate to when he cast O'Dowd in the lead role. And because the story doesn't seem to have an end, he opted to make Family Tree a series rather than a feature film. Says Guest: "The first four episodes of the show take place in England, where Tom Chadwick, our hero, lives. I wanted to show him moving around to different areas in his search. The next four shows take place in the United States. It can go anywhere from there."
The Plot:
Having recently lost his job and his girlfriend, 30-year-old Tom Chadwick has a rather unsure sense of his own identity. But when he inherits a mysterious box of belongings from a great aunt he never met, Tom starts investigating his lineage and uncovers a whole world of unusual stories and characters, acquiring a growing sense of who he and his real family are.

California State University Launches Veteran-Friendly Engineering Apprenticeship Program with Stellar Microelectronics
Erik Fallis, California State University, (562) 951-4800
Erika Monterroza, California Department of Industrial Relations,
(415) 703-5279
(December 18, 2008) – To begin meeting the goal of 20,000 new engineers for California's workforce in the next decade, the State of California announced the first apprenticeship program of Gov. Schwarzenegger's Engineering Initiative. The program, designed for veterans, will begin in 2009.
The program was formed through the collaboration of California State University (CSU); Stellar Microelectronics, Inc.; California State University, Los Angeles; College of the Canyons; and the State of California.
"Many veterans are leaving today's military service with high-tech skills and unparalleled field experience," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "CSU's professional science programs will put these men and women to work, and produce the certification and degree they need to be successful.
"These programs align with the needs of California's technology manufacturing industry, helping provide the jobs the state needs in order to emerge from the current economic downturn."
Stellar Microelectronics, founded by Alfred E. Mann, is an engineering, design, and production services company for electronics products in the biomedical, aerospace and military markets. The announcement was made today in Valencia, California, concurrent with a ribbon-cutting celebrating a new Stellar Microelectronics highly automated manufacturing facility with a current workforce approaching 300 and the potential to increase to 600.
"In this age of economic uncertainty, Stellar is a rapidly growing company that is in a position to provide jobs to talented and experienced people coming out of our armed services," said Gregory L. Horton, president of Stellar Microelectronics. "Participating in the Governor's Engineering Initiative is consistent with Stellar's philosophy and passion to continue to build the finest team in the industry, which allows us to maintain high growth and onshore competitiveness in a global market.
"Veterans who leave active military duty will receive an opportunity to advance their careers through on the job training and education while being employed in a highly technical environment."
Cal State L.A., in coordination with College of the Canyons, will provide academic direction and support for the apprenticeship program. Consistently rated among the nation's best schools of its kind by U.S. News & World Report, Cal State L.A.'s College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology offers programs in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering; computer science and industrial technology.
"This apprenticeship program is a special opportunity for all of us involved," said Keith Moo-Young, engineering dean at Cal State L.A. "We enjoy building these types of bridges—bringing new students into engineering, giving them knowledge and experience, and connecting them to professional opportunities. We're especially excited to help provide these new opportunities to veterans."
About the California State University

Daryl Hannah is one bad Mother in the new film from The Asylum
Daryl Hannah is all kinds of crazy in Mother, the November 12 DVD/Blu-ray release from The Asylum. I almost didn't recognize her in the trailer; she looks very different, and I will leave it at that.
An A-student's life is turned upside-down when inappropriate status updates and photos appear on her online profile. Soon, she learns that even her life is in danger.

I don't know why this movie is called Mother now because this movie was on Lifetime and it was called Social Nightmare. I watched it, calling it Mother and having that photo on the cover pretty much gives away the movie.

Lately, it seems that fewer and fewer people are purchasing tangible albums. I've purchased fewer in the past few years than I had say, 10 years ago. I have iTunes gift cards lying around. So why not use those, right?
I have mixed feelings though, about purchasing music online. Something just seems less valuable about it because I can't hold an actual piece of it in my hand.
Judging an album by its cover
Growing up, I had dreamed of designing album artwork when I was older – without knowing then the reality of the Internet and all its digitalized glory. To be fair, I have designed a handful of albums for local jazz musicians in my career as a designer, but somehow it just doesn't seem as impressive as it would have a decade ago.
There is just something special about a tangible album that is difficult to substitute.
Well-designed packages draw you in. I know quite a few folks who buy wine based on if the label is "cute" or not, others who buy the pair of Bonobos jeans because of the cool box they come in, and some who still judge a book based on how well the cover is designed – no matter how many times their mothers told them not to.
Packaging is important to the retail aspect of so many things, not only music.
We live in a digital world
I know that the digital world has changed a lot of other things in the past decade or so. I used to be better at communication before smart phones, email, and Twitter. I also used to have a different way of purchasing and learning about new things. I now use websites like Amazon, NPR's All Songs Considered, among others.
Sadly, the reality is that a lot of people illegally obtain music in one way or another and most of the time these illegal files don't even have the album artwork attached to it. Nor, do a lot of people seek out the artwork later on and just have an empty box thumbnail popup when an album plays on their computer, phone, or mp3 player.
"There is just something special about a tangible album that is difficult to substitute."
I recently went to Twist & Shout, a Denver area music store, for the first time in years; I used to frequent this record store years ago when I was still really into buying CDs. I stopped in on a whim and while looking through the racks of CDs, I saw a lot of albums I own (that I had purchased from the Internet) that I had never really seen in person – a lot of them had specialized embossing or interactive elements, which you can never tell by your square thumbnail version in iTunes.
If albums don't matter anymore, does design still have a role the music industry? Of course.
Good design will always have a role, even if it changes
Sure, design alone can't save the music industry. The music plays the major role in this. An artist's music still needs to be something that people want to listen to and pay for, as well as potentially see in concert. Nowadays it seems artists are making the bulk of their money from concert sales and related products anyway.
Tangible albums may not matter as much any more, but good design still has an important role for artists.
Designers can influence the purchases of t-shirts, posters, tote bags and other merchandise at band's shows and online, for sure. So maybe the wave of the future is well-designed tickets, and the continuation of awesome swag
What do you think? Can good design save the music industry?

Jim Kenney, Picture Editor
Dec 16
In Memories, Thanks at 4:38am
Back in the day, when us photo folks toiled away in blessed obscurity, off in the corner of the corporate picture, there were characters. Jim Kenney, the picture editor of Newsweek, was certainly one of these.
To be sure, just like today, the accountants and honchos of that time would continuously fume at this dark art of picture making, wondering why it was necessary, and further, why it cost any money at all, but, blessedly, they didn't understand it. And, like a child who's gotten a toy for Christmas they couldn't really get the hang of, they would poke at it occasionally, look at it from all sides, then realize they couldn't find the on-off switch, get bored, and drop it back in the jumble of the toy chest along with other misunderstood and forgotten gizmos.
This was a blessing. The lack of intense corporate scrutiny back then allowed for all manner of risk taking and outright shenanigans in the magazine picture game, and a blustery original like Jim Kenney could flourish, to the benefit of us all.
Of course, the accountants shouldn't have worried, really. None of us were making any money. Magazine assignments back then were rated at 250 bucks a pop, usually attended by limited expenses. But, as opposed to today, when budget boogeymen have choked off the assignment spigot, magazine jobs were readily had. Especially at places like Time and Newsweek, which were magazines that maintained competitive journalistic mandates to cover many more things than they could possibly publish. The phone rang aplenty, and jobs would seemingly drop from the trees. You would shoot the gig, drop off the film, and pray your slides would hit ink. Then, when the mag was off the stands a week later, you would drop off the pix at your agent, who would try to sell them to someone else. No contracts really existed. It was all just handshake deals. I would always get energized by a call from Newsweek photo. I got assigned all over the lot, from Popes and politics to actors and moguls to characters at Disney.
As a shooter, you could do what was referred to as "the 50th St. shuffle," as Time was located at 50th and Sixth, and Newsweek was over at 50th and Madison. There wasn't overwhelming security at the buildings, so you could always find somebody to buzz you up, and you could grab coffee and hang out in a picture editor's cubicle, hoping they would get so exasperated with your lunatic picture proposals they would give you a day rate to go shoot something just to get rid of you.
Picture agencies did the same shuffle, too, toting packages of slides back and forth to the newsweeklies, hoping to entice interest in a photog's enterprise take of this or that. The big Paris based agencies, Sygma and Gamma, would emblazon their offerings with exclamatory stamps that screamed, "EXCLUSIF! MONDIAL!" Then they would go crosstown to sell basically the same set of slides to the competition. Some of the agents had, well, let's call it a broad definition of the word, "exclusif!"
Two giants were astride all this mayhem, John Durniak at Time and Jim Kenney over at Newsweek. Newsweek was always the budgetarily disadvantaged of the two. Jim Colton who, over in his estimable blog, wrote about Kenney last week, always said that "Time was a hospital, and Newsweek was a MASH unit." But being Avis to Time's Hertz made Newsweek a formidably scrappy competitor, whose nimble picture troops would routinely outfox their bigger adversary.
My earliest adventures in the news game, as limited as they were, came at the behest of Jim, and he was great to work for. I spent time in Northern Ireland for Newsweek, during the troubles, and when things got calm, I dropped down to London and called Kenney to tell him of the move. I remember the conversation. He closed with saying, "If things heat up again, shag back in there and I'll cover you." With Kenney, you always knew he had your back, out in the field. It was a good feeling.
He was a competitor in the best sense of the word. During the JP II's first papal trip to his home country of Poland, we were a Newsweek crew of maybe eight or nine to Time's fourteen or so. Thing was, no matter how many people any pub could muster, nobody in the photo press corps really had the inside track. That belonged to the papal photographers. All of us would be a flyspeck with a huge lens out in a crowd of a million or so Poles, viewing the Pope in miniature despite all the glass we had jammed onto our cameras. The papal shooters, such as Arturo Mari, would be there with him on the altar using a 20mm lens, fer chrissakes. Kenney would rail about this lack of access, and referred to the papal photogs, always clad in a black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie, as "the fucking penguins."
He was an original, larger than life. He was a great editor, at a great time in magazine journalism. And, he was also a good guy to sit and have a beer with when things finally calmed down after a Friday night close. He had a nose for news and a swashbuckling knowledge of what it really took to get good pictures of the news.
Rest in peace, Jim. But then, there's a part of me that hopes not. It's fun to think he might be up there in the great beyond with his intercom phone, barking at some lost soul in accounting who's wondering why a first look at Sygma's output on the royal wedding was gonna cost 30g's.

Well said Joe. Kenney was an original and anyone that ever worked for him always knew he had their backs. He was a good man. Our industry has lost a legend.

I'm afraid you'll be thinking about those days more often as they(we) all grow older and leave this plane of consciousness for another "assignment".
Well spoken McNally.

What a great read! Thanks for sharing Joe…as always I learn & laugh with each of your personal entries about living the life of a photog – now & then! When does the personal memoir get printed?

Keep 'em coming. Best, Jeremy

I really enjoy your blog posts that draw from your deep photographic history. They are full of character, personality and life. I know this blog post was dedicated to Jim Kenney, but I was wondering if you could give the background of some of these great photos. In some cases (e.g. the pope), it is obvious, but in others less so. Your prose, as well as your imagery, is wonderful, and so I'm sure reading the stories behind these pictures would be great!
Joe McNally says:
on December 17, 2013 at 7:54 pm
Hi Gerard….sure, at some point I imagine I'll write a bit about some of these pix. It'll take some time. All the best, and thanks for stopping by the blog….Joe
Jim Donahue says:

3 Twitter Tools for Small Business Ecommerce Sites
- 15-Sep-10 |
Vangie Beal
More Articles »
- Tweet
In what seems like a never-ending quest to stay on top of ecommerce trends, small business and ecommerce site owners are adding social media campaigns, such as Twitter, to existing marketing plans. One thing you should be aware of -- once you start tweeting to customers youll find that using Twitter can be time consuming.
The good news is that there are many free and low-cost tools available to help you better manage your Twitter marketing tasks. Even better is that most Twitter tools are Web-based and very easy to use.
The three Twitter tools picked for this round-up are best-suited to help a small business ecommerce site owner stay on-task with Twitter marking efforts. These Twitter tools will cut down on your Twitter time investment by automating the tweeting process or by providing features that help integrate Twitter into the marketing tasks you already do.
Create a Promotional Coupon with TwtQpon
Small business ecommerce sites will find the Twitter coupon generator, TwtQpon, useful for promoting Web store deals on Twitter. You can also create special reward coupons for your own loyal Twitter followers.
When you visit the TwtQpon site, click on the "Create a Coupon" button and enter the following information in the Web form:
- Your Twitter account name
- The coupon title
- The coupon details (in 140 characters or less)
- Upload a 700 x 300 pixel image
- Specify a coupon code (if blank the coupon will show no code required on it)
- Add a redirect URL (your promotion landing page or ecommerce site URL)
- The expiration date of the coupon
This information is all you need to create your free Twitter coupon. Your Twitter followers will see a Tweet, which is the text you enter in TwtQpon Web form. Customers who click the link are directed to the image-enabled version of the coupon page (on TwtQpon.com) and are then redirected to the URL you specified when they click to redeem. What we like about this Twitter tool is that you can create and publish your Twitter coupon in seconds.
You do have an upgrade option to add personal branding, which is shown on the image-enabled version hosted at TwtQpon.com. The website doesnt specify a fixed price for the upgrade but suggests you enter a price at check-out based on what you think the upgrade is worth. On its website TwtQpon says that the branding service is a way of supporting hosting and development costs.
Schedule Tweets with FutureTweets
FutureTweets by SolidFlux is another useful tool for busy small business ecommerce sites. If you often forget to update your Twitter status or you have difficulties working in regular tweet time this is a good tool to use.
The Web-based service lets you schedule a number of tweets and specify the time you want the tweets to be published on Twitter. You could pick one or two days a week to add multiple tweets that you set to publish at different times. The scheduling aspect will not be noticed by your followers and it will appear as if you Tweet on a more regular basis.
To use FutureTweets you need to give permission for the application to access your Twitter account. Once the connection between Twitter and FutureTweets has been made, you'll find yourself looking at a very simple form on the FutureTweets website.
All you need to do is type in your Twitter message and then select a publish date. You can enter the publish date manually in the form field (e.g. 2010-09-14 15:25) or you can choose the date on a calendar button and select the time by dragging the hands on the clock widget beside the message box on the form.
After scheduling your Tweets youll see a list of all scheduled tweets you have written with a star noting the ones that have been published. From this single Web page you can also edit or delete any Tweet you set using the tool.
What we liked best about FutureTweets is that it offers a simple interface with everything you need on one page so you can go in and schedule future tweets quickly.
HootSuite Social Media Dashboard
HootSuite is a social application that you can use to manage a number of social media tasks in an efficient way from one Web-based interface. The service supports a number of social platforms in addition to Twitter -- like Facebook, WordPress and others.
HootSuite offers several tools that will help small business ecommerce site owners to better manage their Twitter and social media marketing tactics. Some of the tools let you schedule updates across one or more social media sites, and you can also collaborate and manage multiple social accounts that are spread amongst your marketing team.
Small business ecommerce site owners will also like two of the more business-focused tools in HootSuite. The first is the Monitor Mentions tool. This is used to track and gather mentions of your company or brand across multiple social sites. Another business tool in HootSuite is used to review statistics and reports on individual status messages tweets you publish.
HootSuite is a more professional Twitter tool with a focus on the needs of a business user. We like that it offers multiple tools for multiple social media sites in a single Web-based interface.
HootSuite offers a free ad-supported version that lets you monitor and post to five social networks, use 2 RSS feeds, and caps your statistics history to the first 30-days of use. The full unlimited version with all features and one team member for collaboration is $5.99 per month. Additional team members can be added for $10 per month per person.

Beatcroff Slabs (Remix EP)
Available To Order (Estimated Shipping between 1-3 Working Days)
This item is to the best of our knowledge available to us from the supplier and should ship to you within the time-frame indicated. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately
Oberman Knocks ticks off a wishlist of Plaid, Quinoline Yellow, and Uexkull and Adapta (both former halves of Bitstream) to reinterpret the angular complexities of his 'Beatcroff Slabs' album for Andrea Parker's Aperture imprint. Plaid temper 'Degonnt Type Runners' to a swaggering triplet template layered with lucid, spacious harmonics yielding a signature 2nd half flourish of intricate melody, while Bitstream's Dave Connor debuts his Uexkull with a slow, inwardly folding Techno remix of 'Lenkmyte' full of the quirks and electronic sorcery he's known and loved for. Turn her over and Quinoline Yellow turns the convulsing mechanics of 'Pneuquonsis On Return' inside out with a hollowed, detailed inversion, for former Bitstreamer Steve Connor to drop the boot-rumbling bass and whirring electro swerve of a 'Fewton Tension Kords' remix.

|Moore recovering, Batichon coaching, Minter playing hoops
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Tuesday, 04 August 2009 10:17
The Appalachian State football season is right around the corner with the season opener set for Saturday, September 5 at East Carolina (air time, 10 am on WATA Radio).
But some former Mountaineers have been in the news the past several days. Let's begin with offensive lineman Storm Moore. The incoming freshman, according to the Asheville Citizen Times, who collapsed during voluntary workouts in early July suffered a complications concerning his kidneys. Moore, who stands in at 6-foot-3 and weighs in at 275 pounds and played at Timberland High School in St. Stephens, SC, is undergoing dialysis once or twice a week at a Charlotte hospital. Moore, who will be out for the rest of the season, is expected to make a full recovery.
Also, former Mountaineer Hans Batichon has been named a wide receivers coach at Savannah State University, an independent Division I school in Savannah, Ga. Batichon led ASU in receiving his senior year. He caught 58 passes for 819 yards and seven touchdowns. Batichon was a wide receivers coach with Watauga High last fall.
And in basketball news, former Mountaineer Donte Minter has signed a professional contract to play with Consmetal Navarra in Spain. Minter played professionally in Portugal last season. During his senior year at ASU, Minter averaged 14 points and six rebounds a game. In his career, Minter, who transferred to ASU after he spent his freshman and sophomore years at the University of Virginia, averaged 12.8 points and 5.5 rebounds a game in 55 games with the Mountaineers.

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.

But when one of our own — who happens to be of Asian descent — is ethnically intimidated and harassed by a couple of teenage punks, we must act.
For months Bob Chan, of Chan's Chinese restaurant in Spring Lake, suffered in silence. He turned the other cheek.
He never reported to police that someone continually called him, screaming ethnic slurs, telling him to get out of town. He just hung up the phone.
He never reported to authorities when two teens entered his lovely restaurant and screamed at customers. He just went back to work.
And he didn't report when those same teens egged his restaurant in broad daylight. He just asked his workers to clean up the mess.
A community member who saw the egging, however, refused to idly drive by. She called police and followed the teens to help authorities track them down.
Thank goodness for her moral compass. She is everything that's right about Tri-Cities residents.
While this case navigates the legal system, we have to ask ourselves why these teens — one a Spring Lake kid and another from Muskegon — thought that it was OK to do what they did? It was no big deal, they told police.
Where did they learn such bigotry? Why did that hate fester for so long? Why target Chan, who said he feels that he's as American as anyone else?
Perhaps the answers we find will be uncomfortable. But sometimes such discovery leads to a better understanding of ourselves and our community.
We all profess to care about each other and our West Michigan oasis. Let's show it. Let's embrace the little diversity we have, and refuse to allow the kind of hate and bigotry exhibited in this case to become who we are.
