Kevin McNeil has sailed his Star boat in big regattas on Santa Monica Bay. Andy Horton competed in the 2007 Olympic Trials for Star class on the same body of water. That combined experienced has helped the Nightshift team post consistent results in an extremely tricky venue this week.
Skipper Kevin McNeil (blue polo shirt) keeps his eyes forward while trimmer Dave Scott (white hat) checks the telltales on the main during Thursday's action in the California Cup. Nightshift was Boat of the Day for the second straight afternoon and leads the 15-boat regatta with a low score of 14 points, seven better than Flash Gordon 6 and Plenty .
McNeil has done a superb job of steering while Horton has been solid calling tactics to help Nightshift string together six strong races to open the California Cup, being held on Santa Monica Bay.
Conditions on the ocean course off Venice Beach for Thursday's action were quite similar to the day before (eight -twelve knots out of the southwest) and Nightshift was dialed in again. McNeil steered the Annapolis entry to a splendid score line of three – four - one to earn Boat of the Day honors for the second straight afternoon.
'We had another good day. Our starts were not as good as yesterday and we got into a couple tough spots, but our boat speed was excellent and we were able to work our way back to the front,' McNeil said. 'Andy made some great calls out on the course and our crew work was outstanding all-around.'
In Race six, Nightshift rounded the first weather mark in fifth place. Two legs later, the plain white boat with aqua blue deck was leading the fleet around the top mark as it headed for home to post its second bullet of the regatta.
'We've done really, really well on the runs. That was the key to winning the last race today,' McNeil said.
Horton agreed with that assessment and credited McNeil with skilled steering under spinnaker. 'Our downwind speed is the best it's been since I started sailing with this team,' the veteran professional and Vermont native said. 'Kevin is doing a really good job of driving to take advantage of when the puffs and waves come on.'
Horton isn't sure the previous experience he and McNeil have on Santa Monica Bay has provided a major advantage, but said familiarity with the unpredictable conditions gave them a certain awareness that is helpful. Nightshift has finished no worse than fourth in six races so far and has a low score of 14 points, increasing its lead in the overall standings by three with Thursday's performance.
'You need to have your eyes open for anything. You really can't see the pressure on the water. So instead of sailing against the wind, you need to sail against the other boats,' said Horton, adding that Nightshift cannot become cautious now as it attempts to maintain the lead for two more days. 'If you start to get conservative and over-thinking it in this place, it's going to be over. We have to continue doing exactly what we've been doing.'
Flash Gordon 6, skippered by Chicago architect Helmut Jahn, got the gun in Race four and posted the second-lowest point total on Thursday. Four-time world match racing champion Ian Williams is calling tactics for Jahn, who also notched a third on Thursday and holds second in the overall standings with 21 points.
'We are happy, but we would be a lot happier if we were winning the regatta,' Jahn said with a laugh. 'We are only halfway through so there is still time. I think we could be a bit more consistent. We finished fifth in the last race on Wednesday and sixth in the last race today. We have to find a way to get rid of those high numbers.'
Principal race officer Peter Reggio reeled off three races in rapid succession with assistance from race committee personnel from host California Yacht Club. Plenty, the New York entry skippered by Alex Roepers, totaled 11 points on the day and dropped into a second place tie with Flash Gordon 6.
2015 China Cup International Regatta - Day 3
One of the most impressive performances on Thursday came from skipper Michael Shlens and his team aboard Blade 2. A Corinthian boat comprised entirely of amateur sailors, Blade 2 surprised the 15-boat fleet by leading from start to finish in Race five.
'We are very, very excited to win a race in such an incredibly competitive fleet,' said Shlens, a Palos Verdes resident and King Harbor Yacht Club member. 'We had a beautiful start and punched out very quickly. It makes a big difference when you can sail with clean air and we worked hard to hold the lead. You have to be able to hit the shifts out there and we were fortunate to able to do that.'
Shlens has campaigned an Express 37 for almost two decades and also races a Melges 30. This is his second year in the Farr 40 class and first time competing against the professional teams that regularly do the International Circuit.
'It's been a big transition and we're on a huge learning curve,' Shlens said. 'We've really had excellent crew work so far this week, which makes sailing the boat a real pleasure. This boat is so crew dependent. I'm getting a feeling the helmsman is the least important person aboard.'
Shlens had high praise for the performance of tactician Greg Tawaststjerna along with the jib and spinnaker trimming of Alan McGashan. He credited Eric Arndt with doing an excellent job of rig tune prior to the regatta.
'What I'm most pleased about is that we're getting better with every race. We are improving and that is what is most important,' Shlens said. 'Winning that first race was wonderful, but I was more proud of the third race when we finished eighth. We were over early and started way behind, but had the speed and crew work to pick our way back through the fleet.'
The California Cup continues on Friday and concludes on Saturday. For information, please visit website.

Amazing. This is my favourite song on the portal. Simply astounding. The track seems as if it were meant to confuse the listener, not quite sure of what's happening. Whenever I try to think of the tune, I just can't remember it until I listen again. You are truly a genius. Simply amazing work.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Astounding audio
By far this is my favorite song you've produced so far and for that matter, my favorite in the audio portal. What makes this song so great is the way you composed all the different aspects of the audio; letting it build to certain points and those very tastefully-placed moments of silence.
I really hope you continue to make audio like this, earcandy of this quality is hard to come by for me.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Really liked this good job
Nice track :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Quite hypnotic
This was a really cool song to listen to, because it had such a great spirit to it. It was hard to pinpoint the exact thing, it was like you were just trying to confuse the listener. The best part is how it consistently keeps up its insanity. I could have sworn that I heard some music that was from the "Matrix" movies used in this. It is the sort of song that can go with really any surrealist work that focuses on action. When I think of a "sick" song, I usually think of something disgusting, but what do I know?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Nice work
Loved this track, sounds very well composed, transitions worked out nicely, and well as the beats :D
keep up the good work.

Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.
) first-quarter 2012 earnings of $1.54 a share beat the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of $1.50 and surpassed the year-ago earnings of
$1.23. Profit (attributable to the company) shot up 26% year over
year to $116.2 million on the heels of a healthy double-digit
growth in the top line.
Revenues cruised 20% year over year to $2,288.3 million, also
exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,139 million. The
company noted that its results were boosted by strength across a
host of industries including energy, aerospace, farm and heavy
equipment, and semiconductor. It saw higher sales volume and prices
in the quarter, which supported revenue growth.
With respect to volumes, tons sold jumped 13.8% year over year
and 11.2% sequentially in the quarter. Average prices per ton sold
went up 5.3% year over year and 1.3% sequentially. Carbon steel,
aluminum, stainless steel, alloy, toll processing and other
sales represented 52%, 15%, 15%, 12%, 2% and 4% of total revenues,
Financial Position
Reliance Steel exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents
of $70 million, down 9% year over year. Net debt-to-total capital
ratio was 29% as of March 31, 2012, compared with 25.7% as of March
31, 2011. The company has adequate liquidity to expand its existing
operations organically and through acquisitions.
Outlook and Recommendation
Looking ahead, Reliance Steel believes that demand will continue
to improve steadily except for the energy and aerospace industries,
where it anticipates higher growth. Further, the company noted that
the pricing environment still remains uncertain for certain metals
it sells. Based on these expectations, Reliance Steel forecast
earnings per share in the range of $1.40 to $1.50 for
second-quarter 2012. The current corresponding Zacks Consensus
Estimate is $1.52.
Reliance Steel has tremendous earnings capacity with its broad
and diversified product base, along with wide geographic footprint
that positions it well in the industry. The company continues to
evaluate and execute additional growth projects, given the
prevailing economic conditions.
However, the non-residential construction market, which is the
company's largest end-market, continues to be the weakest link. In
addition, raw material prices are expected to remain volatile.
We currently have a Neutral recommendation on Reliance Steel.
The company, which competes with
Metals USA Holdings Corp.
) and Worthington
Industries Inc.
), retains a Zacks #2 Rank, which translates into a short-term (1
to 3 months) "Buy" rating.

Fox has released its schedule for the new year, and Bones is not on it. If and when the second half of Bones season 11 will air is to be determined. While this doesn't mean the long-running procedural has been cancelled, it hardly seems like a good sign. Despite flagging season 10 ratings, Fox renewed the series for an 11th season.
As of November 5, 2015, the eleventh season finds Bones, over all, down in the ratings. To date, it is averaging a 1.23 in the 18-49 demographic, with a season-to-date average of 5.34 total audience members.
While star David Boreanaz is looking forward to the end of the show with season 11, new showrunner, Michael Peterson, is on record as saying he wants a 12th season and more. The cast of Bones includes: Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor, »

Last season, it looked like Bones might be coming to an end after 10 seasons. The network has bounced the series all over the schedule and the ratings have come way down over the years. Will the numbers start to rebound in season 11? Will this Fox series be cancelled or renewed for a 12th season? Stay tuned.
Bones revolves around a married couple who use their skills as an FBI agent (David Boreanaz) and a forensic anthropologist (Emily Deschanel) to solve difficult cases. The show's cast also includes Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor, Tj Thyne, and John Boyd.
The ratings are typically the best sign of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available -- usually the next day, around 11:30am Est/8:30am Pst. Refresh »

Fox must be drinking its milk, because "Bones" is still going after 10 years. From 20th Century Fox, Far Field Productions and Josephson Entertainment, the quirky procedural centers on a highly skilled forensic anthropologist and an FBI agent, played by Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, respectively. The unlikely partners take on homicide cases involving human remains that most forensic specialists can't handle. Other series regulars include Tj Thyne, Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor and John Boyd.

Often buried in seemingly random and unpredictable corners of Fox's schedule, "Bones" continues to be exhumed every spring. Fox announced on Friday (May 8) that "Bones" has officially been renewed for an 11th season. The renewal, which was expected but also still long-in-coming, came the morning after "Bones" drew just over 4.5 million viewers and a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49 for a two-hour airing, both numbers up from last week. Fox's renewal lists regulars Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Tj Thyne, Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor and John Boyd all locked down for next season. There is, however, a change at the top. Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson will be taking over as showrunners, with Stephen Nathan taking "a temporary step back to work on other projects for Fox," though the network homes to have him back at some point during the season. Fox didn't mention an episode count. The 10th season finale for "Bones, »

Recently, TV Line talked with Bones' Dr. Jack Hodgins star, T.J. Thyne, and he spilled a few, interesting new spoiler teasers that we can expect to see take place when season 10 starts back up with its 2nd half. It turns out that Booth and Brennan will try to hide their 2nd preggers secret for as long as they can. We'll also see Angela and Hodgins get pretty heated at each other, and more. In their spoiler conversation, they said: "The Fox drama is again in the family way as Brennan and Booth attempt to keep the news of their second pregnancy a secret from co-workers. Meanwhile, Hodgins and Angela face "a good amount of conflicts," T.J. Thyne reveals, especially when the topic of spirituality vs. science is brought up after Avalon receives a message from Sweets.

My latest watercolor on yupo paper, I used watercolors and watercolor crayons. Here are some pictures retracing the steps I took.
Painting tutorial, watercolor landscape on yupo paper : Wheat Fields
{ 13 comments… add one }
Amazing process and a fabulous result as always Sandrine.. enjoyed it very much
Thanks Padmaja!
I was able to paint on top of the non workable fixative, but it changes the smooth property of the paper.
Thanks Holly, I will experiment more with fixatives see what works
This is lovely, Sandrine, and thank-you again for posting your process with Yupo as I am just learning what I want to do with mine. The ones I have done, I fix with Krylon matte fixative and have no problem. Beautiful golden landscape!
Thanks !, I will try the Krylon fixative for watercolors on yupo. I know some watercolor societies won't accept any varnished watercolors, I wonder if fixative might be an issue…
I don'tknow the answer to that about fixative and shows. In the multi-media shows, here, it is not a problem. I have viewed several tutorial videos by artists that work on Yupo. One does not fix the work and the other does. I have not tested if the fixative really works by adding water to mine after….too afraid to.
What fixatif do you like to use with yupo? The uv matte on I tried dulled my painting quite a bit, wondering if you have any favorites.
I am not using fixative when painting with just watercolors because they will be framed under glass anyway. I am using fixative when I add dry pastels with other media on yupo paper, in that case I use krylon workable fixative, it darkens a bit the pastels but I didn't notice an effect on the watercolors.
Hope this helps.
I found a threat on wet canvas where artist CH Clements says she is using krylon clear varnish on her watercolors on yupo :
Thank you for showing your process. When you say you glazed the sky, did the new paint remove the old paint? I find that when I try to glaze on Yupo I am never successful.
Thanks Lindahal !
I also found glazing tricky on yupo paper, you need a very soft brush and the most important thing is never to let the brush go two times on the same spot, because once it's wet the paint will lift very easily. If you manage to pass only one time on any area it should work.
Keep the posts coming, they encourage me to paint. I love the challenges of Yupo and work work is lovely. I particularly enjoy the way you show your process.
Thanks Holly, I am very glad to hear that

I am not a expert at this and I started with adsense ads on one of my websites a few months back.
Why is there a difference in the amount shown in reports and Payment history? I mean the total of all time report (ads + search) dose not tally with the monthly Payment History. No matter how I check the sum till Oct 30 dose not tally with the Payment History total.
Do they deduct some charges or why do the totals not tally?

There is no comparison between Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin, except this:
Gone is the overt de jure racial divide of yesterday, but present is the subtle de facto racial divide of today. Even to this day, Reverend King's words ring remarkably true, "...when you stand at 11:00 on Sunday morning ... you stand in the most segregated hour of Christian America." King's observation is a euphemism regarding America's self-segregation.
Gone are the dignified men and women singing spirituals and praying for those who would harm them, but present is that choir of rapt souls who sing racism to mute ...

Kelly Osbourne is mourning the loss of her pet Pomeranian, Noodles.
"My poor baby girl Noodles is sick," the "Dancing With the Stars" alum tweeted Tuesday. "She had a seizure and they don't know why. I'm taking her to see a specialist two hours away for a brain scan."
Osbourne, who adopted Noodles in March, nicknamed the pooch "Noody Bear." Three months later, the puppy's health took a turn for the worse. "I can't even look at my baby girl without crying," Osbourne tweeted. "She just looks so sick and helpless."
A veterinarian performed a brain scan and delivered some bad news: Noodles was suffering from brain swelling.
"Noodles is not going to make it," Osbourne, 26, wrote. "She was born with a brain defect and I have to put her to sleep today. I'm devastated. I just can't believe it."
When one of Osbourne's followers criticized her for putting down her puppy, she defended her decision by saying: "She was not in peace. Her brain was swelling in her head. I don't play God! It was unfortunately necessary!"

26 October 2009: A little over five years ago, this web site was the first legitimate site to publish the actual videos of men and women being beheaded by Islamic terrorists. We provided our visitors with the actual films to show the horrific, nearly unimaginable brutality committed by the Talban and al Qaeda terrorists in the name of Islam. We did so to provide Americans a real world view of the satanic brutality our brave troops were fighting. Westerners in general and Americans specifically, however, seem to have short memories.
For those who have forgotten, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST...
THIS IS WHAT IS SANCTIONED UNDER ISLAMIC SHARIA LAW- according to their own words and shown by their own actions.
WARNING: This video is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC & VERY DISTURBING.

Cruise was great, commentary was Ok, the audio system was not the best though it was somtimes hard to hear the what was been said, enjoyed the outing and have recommended to friends and colleuges.
Very relaxing cruise, plenty to see along the river.
Lunch was great.
Great day out. Worth the money. Food great. But no high chairs or change table for my one year old grandson.
The trip was fantastic value for money and the Lunch was brilliant. The staff however were rather miserable. We all work in the entertainment business so we're constantly on our staff to keep it cheerful and vibrant, a little bit of this on board would not go amiss. Apart from this it was fabulous. Thanks
Good, would have liked to have more choice for gluten free food and more choice for non alcoholic drinks
Micheal C
Had a great time, will do again
Deborah K
Overall was a good trip. Could not hear commentary at all,too quiet. Food was fab and cheap beer too!
The watercraft was very comfortable, the staff helpful and the 3 hour trip was extremely enjoyable. It was our wife and I first time in Perth.
Gregory R
United Kingdom
A nice day, views were good although we were docked for about 20 mins to half an hour at the Fremantle terminal. Not a huge problem, but would have liked to spend the whole time on the river.
Darryl F
Could not hear what the announcer was saying.
Bev F
This was a gift for our mother, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We all had a very relaxing day and enjoyed our lunch. Thank you.
Christopher P
Wonderful service - great lunch. A perfect Father's Day.
Staff were friendly views good, food average
The cruise and the lunch they served was very nice...
The photographer's photo was poor quality even when he supposedly redone them. Water leaked on our table and food was average.Commentator was good.
My family and i enjoyed are cruise very much and hope to do another soon.
Little commentary regarding sights. Lunch was average.

Your hypocrites at work. One hand out for fed monies or anywhere else they can get their hand outs from but vote right wing and claim the so-called 'liberal' Democrats are socialists and are ruining the lives and fabric of independant less-government 'patriots". Pathetic. I'm all for helping those in need but when religious beliefs encourage big families with no regard to personal responsibility to support them - no way. I have never seen anything like this anywhere and I've been everywhere.

So why is it that only illegal aliens and illegal mexicans benefiting from these
government funds? Please tell the citizens of Utah who is benefiting? It doesn't
seem to be the american people.
Is it just me or has any one noticed that the americans in Utah are no longer called citizens or americans? We are called Utahans now so they can include all the illegals being harbored in this state.
It's criminal to call yourselves citizens or americans, we no longer can have pride in our country. We are americans, we are citizens, we are proud of our country, no illegal can take that from us even if the news media has disassociated itself from america.

Okay, $2.5 was spent to do this. Let's see a breakdown of what it cost for each
home weatherized, each food delivery, etc.
Then compare the costs and number of people served by non-government agencies- the LDS Church, Salvation Army, etc. Which is helping more people at a lower cost?
This press release is simply propaganda from the White House trying to convince people that they are not wasting money. But, they are. Big time!

a good thing and some people make it bad. if the goverment had had control over banks and wall street we would not have the problems we have now. instead they gave huge tax breaks to the ultrarich and capital gains breaks to the peope that have almost broken america. the goverment was made to watch out for the little people too. we need to come together the enemy is the robber mentality of huge oil companies and mega corporations that control prices and get tax right offs. they run everything with money and graft. when there was asurplus of fuel we had no lower prices.

New NASDCTEc Officers Take Lead as CTE Adopts Common Standards, Prepare for Reauthorization
Silver Spring, MD - (July 27, 2012) — Officers of the National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium (NASDCTEc) commenced their one-year term this month. The officers take the reins at a time when the Career Technical Education (CTE) community moves forward with implementing rigorous and common standards for CTE, advocating for fiscal support, building increased visibility, awareness and support and preparing for the reauthorization of the federal legislation that governs CTE.
"This is such an exciting time to be part of the Career Technical Education (CTE) community in this nation. Quality secondary and postsecondary CTE programs provide individuals with options and pathways to success in our global economy. I am honored to serve members of this association that is committed to enhancing access and opportunities to quality CTE programs," said Marie Barry, NASDCTEc President and State Director of the Office of Career and Technical Education at the New Jersey Department of Education.
NASDCTEc officers include:
- President, Marie Barry, New Jersey Director of the Office of Career and Technical Education
- Vice President, John Fischer, Vermont Deputy Commissioner, Vermont Department of Education
- Secretary/Treasurer, Scott Stump, Colorado's Associate Provost for Career & Technical Education
- Past President, Dr. Patrick Ainsworth, Ed. D., California Assistant Superintendent and Director; Secondary, Career, and Adult Learning Division; Department of Education
In June, NASDCTEc unveiled the Common Career Technical Core (CCTC), a state-led initiative to establish a set of rigorous, high-quality standards for CTE that states can adopt voluntarily. Forty-two states, Washington, DC, and Palau declared support for the development of the CCTC, which were informed by state and industry standards and developed by a diverse group of teachers, business and industry experts, administrators and researchers.
NASDCTEc's advocacy work will focus on preparing for the reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act and ensure that the legislation will support states in advancing high-quality CTE amid tough fiscal conditions, as well as continuing to build visibility and support for the CTE: Learning That Works for America campaign.
About NASDCTEc
The National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education (NASDCTEc) was established in 1920 to represent the state and territory heads of secondary, postsecondary, and adult career technical education (CTE) across the nation.

World's Top 10 Killers: Non-disease Related Causes of Deaths
The following is a list of non-disease causes of human deaths worldwide.
According to the World Health Organization, about 58 million people died in 2005, mostly from diseases and the rest from non-disease related causes.
1. Road Traffic Accidents
Car driving is one of the deadliest undertakings in the history of mankind. Road traffic accidents is one of the leading causes of non-disease related deaths with an estimated 17 million annual deaths. It is also one of the leading causes of death of children ages 9 to 18 with a record of 260,000 deaths per year.
2. Suicide
Suicide, the intentional taking of ones own life is the second highest non-disease related causes of death. Suicide may occur for a number of reasons, including depression, shame, guilt, desperation, physical pain, emotional pressure, anxiety, financial difficulties, or other undesirable situations. The World Health Organization noted that over one million people commit suicide every year, and that it is one of the leading causes of death among teenagers and adults under 35. There are an estimated 10 to 20 million non-fatal attempted suicides every year worldwide.
3. Violence
Violence, the expression of physical force against self or other is another leading cause of death of thousands of human being worldwide. WHO estimates that each year around 1.6 million lives are lost worldwide due to violence. It is among the leading causes of death for people ages 15-44, especially of males. Violence can vary from between a physical altercation between two beings where a slight injury may be the outcome to war and genocide where millions may die as a result.
4. Falling
It's quite surprising but falling is a major cause of personal injury, especially for the elderly. Builders and miners represent worker categories representing high rates of fall injuries. The WHO estimate that 392,000 people die in falls every year and 47,000 children die of falling per year.
5. Drowning
Unbelievable it may seem but Drowning is a leading cause of death especially among children. There are 175,000 children dying of drowning every year. Drowning is a process resulting in primary respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in a liquid medium.
6. Poisoning
According to statistics, 55,000 deaths are recorded every year in the US. Worldwide record shows that 45,000 children die of poisoning annually.
7. Fire
Fire is another leading cause of death. The primary risk to people in a fire is smoke inhalation (breathing in smoke; most of those killed in fires die from this, not from burns). Large percentage of people who died of fire is children numbering about 96,000 per year.
8. War
We are all aware that war is very devastating but it is not already the leading cause of death but still thousands are killed every year because of war. War is a reciprocated, armed conflict, between two or more non-congruous entities, aimed at reorganizing a subjectively designed, geo-politically desired result.
9. Alcohol Use
Alcoholism kills about 1.9 million worldwide per year with about 85,000 in the US. Alcohol, specifically ethanol, is a potent central nervous system depressant, with a range of side effects.
10. Drug Use
Illegal use of drugs is another leading cause of death with thousands of death per year. Some of the most commonly abused drugs include alcohol, tobacco, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, and opiates, opoids and their derivatives which typically have opioid agonist actions though some don't (e.g. morphine and it's derivatives like heroin (3,6 diacetylmorphine, codeine, dextromethorphan an NMDA antagonist opioid with no opioid activity.)

What? Drugs are at 10 and Falling is at 4. Thats just crazy. Would have thought each of those things would be swapped on the list. Very interesting read Nobert.

Very interesting article! You've done your research. It's sad to think that many of this can be prevented.

Well done my friend Another interesting and well researched article

Where would natural disasters like, tornados, floods, land/snow slides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions & their fallout, etc be in the list? Their stats would be very high I would think.

Hamah Things to Do
A Pictorial Day Tour to the beautiful ...
These Pictures which paint thousands of words. If you happen to visit Syria, it is a must to have a break to visit even just drink a cup of coffee or taste a Syrian Cuisine in a Restaurant on the Riverside where you can also enjoy the pictorial beauty of the Landscape with all inclusive the the nature of Orontes River, the greeneries of the Valley...more
Qal'at Ash Shmemis
Built on top of an extinct volcano, destroyed by an earthquake, rebuilt by an Ayyubid governor of Homs in 1229, the castle is still looking proud on top of the hill overlooking the surrounding desert oasis.This is the first stop of our Palmyra tour, about 30kms away from Hama, the location is a bit away from the highway though it can be seen from...more
Beehive Houses in the Village of Sarouj
The second stop of our Palmyra tour is the traditional behhouses made of mud in the small village of Sarouj. There are I think about 5 cone shaped houses connected to each other in one line.We entered the main gate and we were greeted by the young guy, a part of the family who still lives there. There are chickens around and we were invited by one...more
Walk around town
Just as I always do, I take long walks - be it morning, afternoon or evening - around town or cities. I wandered around Hama's central area, watch people, observe cultures, it's the holiday - Eid - season, so people are busy wandering around town. You'll always find things that's quite interesting just walking around. If you're hungry sit at one of...more
The Clock Tower
Standing tall and proud in the middle of the main intersections of the city of Hama, besides the governor's office and most government offices around it. The hotel whe I stayed is beside it.more
Norias of Hama
There are 17 norias - giant water wheels used to route water to aqueducts to feed agricultural areas. Hama produces half of the country's production of potatoes and pistachio nuts and other vegetables and fruits that is evident in the markets around the city.The norias seems to be only a display nowadys along the orontes river, which is not far...more
Beit al-Azem (Azem Palace)
Like its namesake palace in Damascus, Beit al-Azem of Hama was built by the governor of Damascus Azem Pasha in the 18th century. This palace, however, pre-dates the Damascus one and had been built before Azem Pasha was appointed governor of Damascus. It is thus smaller, and is now converted into a small local museum.more
Krak des Chevaliers
When I came to Syria, one of the places I wanted to see most of all was Krak des Chevaliers. It is, after all, in the words of T. E. Lawrence, simply, "The finest castle in the world." Paul Theroux called it, "The epitome of the dream castle of childhood fantasies." What is it in our childhood that makes us dream of castles? Is it, I wonder, the...more

In December 2006, my fellow travellers and I were in Hama for only one night, on our way from...more
Hamah Restaurants
Italian... saray
Saray is a fairly new place in Hama. Located on the second floor of a building it offers an excellent view to the Orontes River and it seems to be the favourite place of the young and wealthy people of Hama. Although it is called a restaurant, it seems that the only food it serves is –a quite tasty- Italian pizza, juices and good Italian coffee.more
Fastfood @ the bus station
The closest to a western fastfood I've seen and taken a meal at is the King Food right at the Hama bus station. I was so hungry when I arrived in Hama from Damascus from the long ride, right at the rightside when you exit the bus station gate, you'll see this fastfood. Several tables and chairs in red color motif, the food smells good, I also...more
Fresh Juices
I got caught up a little under the weather. Colds. And before it got worse, I started drinking fresh orange juices, and Hama has a lot of these small fresh juices shop just at the corner end of Quwatly Street opposite end of the Clock Tower along the street of Riad Hotel And Cairo Hotel. Freshly aqueezed orange juice.more
The best falafel in town
The Ali Baba restaurant is just a few walks from Riad Hotel along the Quwatly Street, near the souk. It's a small local restaurant famous for its falafel. There are some tables and chairs inside the resto. Falafel is very cheap and a good on-the-go food costs I think SYP20 or 25? ...or half a dollar.more
Excellent restaurant in Hama
An excellent choice in Hama, Aspasia is a fairly new restaurant located in the heart of the remaining restored section of the old town. A beautiful ancient mansion has been restored and converted into the Restaurant. The elegant main dining room is in the mansion's courtyard (now covered). The restaurant offers a delicious Syrian menu with some...more
Hamah Nightlife
terrace bar
Hama is a very conservative town and most of the restuarants do not serve alcohol. We found it quite difficult to find anywhere to have a drink in the evening. But, in the small Christian quarter there is one nightspot, called Family Club. It is an open-air roof terrace where beer is served and it's open from 6pm until late. Food is served after...more
To The Old Town...
This is the area of The Old Town in Hamah.It's next to the Orontes River & also next to The Al-Mahmuriyya Noria.There are actually several norias (water-wheels) in Hamah.The Old Town is a lively place indeed ! The fountain, the mosque & people are doing their night acts in this area.more
Night Sight From My Hotel...
The photo is showing a nice night sight from my hotel window.It is showing the busy street leading to the Orontes River where the norias are situated.This stretch of road is Sharia Shoukri Al-Quwatli.more
Hamah Transportation
Hama central bus station
The Hama central bus station is not that far from the centrum, and unlike the bigger Damascus's Harasta, this one is quiet, no rush. Or maybe it's not a tourist season?A replica of a noria is in the middle of the courtyard of the station. There are several stores and coffeshops, fastfood, and several bus companies offices. I took the AlAhlia to...more
Taxi from bus station to centrum
There are a lot of taxis waiting right in front of Hama bus station. I paid SYP50 to the centrum. But coming back from centrum to the bus station, I only paid SYP40. The bus station is quite near, only about 10minutes to the centrum.more
Kadmous bus
I woke up early in the morning, took a taxi for SYP50 to the Harasta bus station which is about 15 or less than half an hour from the Souk Sarouja. This is I think the central bus station for regional buses around Syria. A little chaotic but buying the ticket is not a hassle. I went to Kadmous bus office, asked the lady at the window for bus to...more
Hamah Shopping
what name?: warm hand-embroidered coats
I did not find any shop.. but IO fell in love with these coats as soon as I saw them. Eventually I asked a taxi driver about it: he knew where one could be people (possibly in a private house or something).
What to buy: wonderful men coats with decorative embroideries.. all hand made... and normally with sheep skin inside for extra warmth
What to pay: about 100 $ or more for a really good one. A bit too bulky and expensve so I gave it a miss - but it was wonderful.

Toilet in Azem Palace
We found what appeared to be one of the world's oldest toilets still in use. The Azem Palace has a toilet, for use by both men and women oddly enough, over which one squats. There is a place for each foot, and one squats rather than sits. Having learned about this type of toilet elsewhere, I have since tended to squat, rather than sit over...more
unique columns
Afamia... among the more normal colums of the cardo, the ones everyone's got used to seeing.. there are some truly peculiar and unique ones. They date back to the 2nd centura and have "unusual carved designs and (...) twisted fluting" - now this description is not my own, but I could not come up with a good one to describe them. Why are they like...more
Hamah Warnings and Dangers
real (or fake) artifacts
Afamia: after paying entrance to the site the warden gave me the following warning - ignore the men who will try to sell you artefacts - most are fake, and if they aren't, then you're doing something illegal buying them. Point taken! I looked around, and saw no one: no such men, and as a matter of fact no other visitors. I was alone. One minute later, out of nowhere, the first guy had appeared, on a motorbike. Did i want to buy an original little statue's head? Good price! i declined, a few times, and moved on. More guys appeared: same statue's head on sale - oh, so very original... even an old dignified man tried to sell me the 14th copy of the same original statue. What can I say? Those statues are clearly fakes... some of the coins that were offered looked a bit more authentic, but the seed of doubt had already been sown. No thanks!
Hamah Off The Beaten Path
Al-Bara - 2nd Pyramid
The 2nd Pyramid is about 200 metres down the road from the 1st, on the other side. You need to walk through an olive grove to get to it. This is the biggest of the three pyramid tombs and the most impressive. Although the top half of the pyramid has gone, probably as a result of the earthquake in the 12th century, the structure is highly decorated...more
Qala'at Shaizar
About halfway between Hama and Apamea, towering over a small village is the Castle of Shaizar. Although the hill had been settled since at least the first century AD, the castle was only built in the 10th century by Fatimid rulers. Since then, the castle has been occupied by several empires and dynasties, including the Byzantines in their brief...more
Situated one hour north-west of Hama, Apamea is a must see for anyone visiting the region. Founded in 300 BC during the Seleucid period, this city flourished under the Romans and remained important until Crusader times. The city was destroyed in the two major earthquakes of the 12th century and was never rebuilt. The archeological site is most...more
Hamah Favorites
Street scene during Ramadan
This is what you may expect to see during the Ramadan period and when people closed their shops to go back home to break the fast. However, two hours later, the whole scene is completely different as it will be lively with lots of people until midnight.more
a little about Hama
Hama... it really has been around for a very long time - actually from the Neolithic Age. From then on everyone seem to have passed by here: Assyrians, Greeks, everyone - yet very little of the glorious past has remained. Hama is basically your typical anonymous concrete Middle Eastern town, with one significant exception: the norias (water wheels)...more

Jeremy--so which should I be looking for in the lens, the fixed or changing aperture?

The problem - lots of NJ traffic!
Most folks who live and work in New Jersey commute to work in their own personal cars. Traffic can be a pretty significant factor in the commute time, and can cause road rage in extreme cases. On highways, traffic is particularly annoying because there's really no getting around it.
The typical approach
Some address this problem through timing adjustments - by leaving the house earlier, they avoid the morning rush. Then, they aim to leave the office early to beat the afternoon traffic. This can work, but it takes a commitment to waking up earlier and thus going to sleep earlier - not particularly attractive for Gen Y. Also, leaving early is not always an option.
A better alternative?
Instead of banking on timing to stave away traffic, it can help to take alternative routes through back roads. Particularly in New Jersey, there are many ways to get from one place to another through various towns. Considering how backed up highways can become, using back roads is a great option that can save time, gas money, and (especially) frustration!
How to start
For a beginner to using back roads, Google Maps is a great place to start. Find home and work, and start to eyeball the general direction and main roads you need to take, starting with your typical commute. If you look up directions, that's probably the route that comes up.
From there, think about what parts of that commute tend to have the most traffic (Google Maps now has traffic information too), and look for ways to bypass those pain points. Perhaps it's entering or exiting the highway at a different exit. Perhaps it's going through small town roads instead of a highway. You may not need to replace your entire commute; start with the most painful parts of it and work from there.
Testing it out
Now, it's one thing to map things out on a computer; it's something different in the driver's seat. This is where having a GPS comes in handy. Thanks to route recalculation, you have the freedom to try new roads on the fly knowing you won't get lost.
Tweaking the route
Once you start using back roads, you'll start to feel more comfortable experimenting with different routes and seeing where they go. As you try new routes, you'll develop a number of options you can choose depending on traffic or preference.
Another way to learn about alternative routes is to talk to co-workers who commute from the same direction. Comparing routes can be a fun way to connect with co-workers, and it can generate different ideas for tweaking your commute. And, if you meet a co-worker who sticks to the highways, you have a golden opportunity to introduce him/her to the joys of back roads!
Try it!
So the next time you leave the office, turn on that GPS and start getting lost (and found) in New Jersey!

LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas police were looking for at least one assailant Thursday after a shooting left a man dead in the doorway of a home east of downtown.
Police didn't immediately name a suspect, and the Clark County coroner didn't immediately identify the victim in the 2 p.m. Wednesday shooting at a residence on Jessica Avenue. That's near Maryland Parkway and Huntridge Circle Park.
Police responding to an initial call of gunfire in the area found that the victim had been shot several times.

Internal Revenue Service agents in Cincinnati used additional "inappropriate" lists to flag certain tax-exempt applications for extra scrutiny, IRS Principal Deputy Commissioner Danny Werfel said Monday.
He declined to say what criteria or terms were on the additional watch lists, but congressional Democrats released a document showing IRS agents targeted groups with "progressive" in their names. "Common thread is the word 'progressive,'" the November 2010 IRS document says. "Activities are partisan and appear as anti-Republican."
