All my TV shows, FREE for everyone.
It's no secret that making great TV shows about overland exploring is why I was put on this Earth. Well, at least I think so.
This month I posted a video about a really great 4x4, that had lots of accessories attached to it. It was built as an example of what can be done by this company. But once the video was put up on YouTube, they weren't happy. They felt it was a negative reflection on them that the vehicle was now so seriously overweight and that its C of G was so high, it was unpleasant and unsafe to drive.
From my point of view, there are two ways of looking at it.
Firstly, the vehicle is a showcase of what can be done. "Look at us. We can do a lot of really cool stuff." In truth, the equipment was not designed all to be fitted to the same vehicle. There is no surprise that it's so heavy. As a showcase, it looks stunning, but the beauty is skin deep.
The other way of looking at it is, if an experienced accessory maker does that for themselves, then why wouldn't they do it for a customer? And they wouldn't. They know that it is overweight. Hence their valid concern that it could be construed the wrong way.
This begs the question, should they have done it at all? Surely it would have been better to build the 'perfect' vehicle, and get everything right. In this example, they lost site of the package in an effort to show off its bits, and it sends mixed messages. It is actually an excellent example of how too much gear can ruin a vehicle. And this is the message I was trying to get across in the video.
I acquiesced and removed the video and replaced it with my comments about the vehicle's weight issues removed. I did this because it was paid advertorial. I am ashamed to announce that it is the very first time in over 200 4x4 videos and TV shows that I have done this.
I commented about the weight because weight issues are important when designing an overland truck. And I wanted to share my experiences. Because that's what I do. But in this case, I couldn't.
My shows have to be financed. They are not overly expensive to produce because I do most of the work myself, but they are not cheap either, largely because of the distance required to shoot them.
Since I made my first series in 2005, motor and accessory manufacturers have sponsored my shows. But, as an unbreakable rule, I will not have my work 'passed' before it goes on air. As a result, I have struggled to find backers and been blacklisted my more than two motor manufacturers because they were truly put out by a negative comment. These include Land Rover the first Discovery-2 and its appalling traction-control that digs great holes in the ground to get grip. And the Ford Ranger V6 auto of 2006, which remains the worst 4x4 I've ever driven. These scars take a long time to heal, even though in both cases I have reviewed their later models without any significant criticism because they no longer deserved it.
As a result, it has become more and more difficult to get sponsorship. This is despite my audience growing like never before, due largely to my YouTube channel. In July this year, it was averaging 1,2 million views a year. Not high in a global sense, but exceptional when it comes to niche interest videos. Today, the average exceeds 2,1 million views a year – that's 6000 a day. The growth is phenomenal. This is part because I'm now attached to a top multi-channel network to promote the shows, and the regular stream of videos I've been creating.
This growth begs a question. If I uploaded all my shows (an additional 76 full-length episodes), not currently on YouTube, what would happen? YouTube ad revenue is so small that it doesn't really count. It would just about pay to insure my 4x4. But there are two other significant outcomes that may results.
The channel gets so big that manufacturers come to me and ask me (not visa-versa) to use their vehicles. And then I can set the terms. The secondly is Patreon.
Crowd funding is now commonplace and known as much for its failures as its spectacular successes. Patreon is a crowd funding system that will permit me to release all my previous work for all to see – for free – and leverage a small amount from the most eager viewers. This will enable me to produce more, better, and more exciting videos.
We released our Patreon campaign last Monday at 5pm. By 6pm the nest day we had achieved our first modest goal of $100 per video. This means that another 26 shows will be released on YouTube over the next six or so months. The amazing thing is, this cost so far is being shared by only 29 people as many have chosen to pay way more than $1 for a video. They are evidence of the magic of this system in that they have decided the value of the content for themselves. Also, the beauty is that even those who don't want to pony up anything, still get to see the shows.
Our next goal is $500 dollars. Then it goes from $1000 and the way up to $12000. To find out what is promised when that milestone is reached, you will have to click here.
So, if you enjoy the 4x4 shows I produce, please get involved, even in the smallest way. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a world of difference.

I'm ditching my hi-lift for a better idea
Hi-lift jack versus air-jack.
During shooting of 4WD-season-4 I visited my old pal John Rich at Stoney Ridge to drive the new Isuzu and to get it stuck. This was successful, although I have to admit, the Isuzu put up a struggle. In John's riverbed, finally we managed to bog it down to the belly. The plan was to demonstrate the use of an air-jack. Takla makes the best one I've seen, and they asked me to "Give it a meaningful test". So I decided that I should give it the ultimate test – to see if it could, practically speaking, replace the Hi-lift jack.

In John's riverbed, finally we managed to bog it down to the belly. The plan was to demonstrate the use of an air-jack. Takla makes the best one I've seen, and they asked me to "Give it a meaningful test". So I decided that I should give it the ultimate test – to see if it could, practically speaking, replace the Hi-lift jack.
Why replace the hi-lift?
The hi-lift can be a nasty thing. It's heavy. Weight is one thing that all overlanders have to (or should) worry about. So often the hi-lift is attached to the vehicle in inappropriate places: the roof rack is high up and bad for C of G. On the bull-bar is extremely dangerous. On the tailgate standing up is probably the best. Another alternative is to dismantle it and have the mechanism in the vehicle with just the shaft on the roof-rack. This is probably the best, as the mechanism doesn't get dirty and much of the weight is lower down.
In use it's dangerous, and even experienced users handle it with great respect. It can kick up, and smash teeth and faces. It can jamb at the most inopportune moment, only then to kick up. Once up, the vehicle is extremely unstable. A single person using it to get a vehicle free must be oh so very careful that the vehicle doesn't fall at the wrong moment. However, it can get a vehicle out of a very gooey mess, very effectively and is a lifesaver. When nothing else works, call on the hi-lift. It is just the job.
So the question is, can an air-jack be called upon in equally difficult situations? This was my quest, to see if it could.
On the surface, and air jack does not need a jacking plate and even in the softest ground does not sink in at all. So I don't need to carry a heavy and bulky jacking plate. It can drop to approximately the height of a hi-lift, albeit with a larger surface area. So more preparation is required of the ground with an air-jack. But, add a jacking plate, and the two are about equal.
The Isuzu had sunk up to its belly, so there was a vacuum formed underneath. In this situation, a winch would have to work very hard indeed, where a lift would be required. It seemed an adequate test. John has been using an air jack in preference to a hi-lift for years, and he is one of the few people I know who recovers a vehicle almost on a daily basis, running advance recovery courses as he does. And he ditched his hi-lift some time ago.
The recovery was not only a success but proved to me that an air-jack is like a hi-lift in that it needs knowhow and experience to get the most out of it. But it is safer (can't kick anyone and has a safety valve), more stable, is as easy to make fine adjustments (the Takla version is, with its valve system) and better at lifting a vehicle. Yes, better.
It's better because one does not need to make any modifications to the vehicle to use an air-jack on the front, sides or back. With a hi-lift, the vehicle has to be modified with bumpers or rock-sliders, both very heavy items. It needs far less physical effort to use. And it can easily and more safely be used by a single operator.
On the downside
An air-jack cannot be used as an emergency winch. But, actually, neither can a hi-lift. It can in theory, but not in practice. It requires rope with zero stretch to winch a vehicle at about twenty-feet-per-day. The procedure is painfully slow, in short steps, almost all of which is used to take up slack and stretch. And who carries that much plasma rope in their kit, who doesn't already have a winch?
The air-jack is easier to stow, and can be strapped to a spare wheel on the rack on the back. It's lighter and is not prone to sticking. It can be damaged by rolling over onto a spike, but the good ones come with a repair kit.
All in all, looking at this closely and with the experience at John's, I have concluded that there is only one significant (if you can call it that) advantage the hi-lift has over the air jack, and that is that it doesn't look as macho. And I propose that it is for this reason why most overlanders will not swap their hi-lifts for this ugly, oversized air-spring.

Why is there so much crap on TV?
Since being in the UK, I've had the opportunity to see how the TV commissioning game works. And it's not a pretty sight. During this time I have come to understand (I think) why the standard of TV, in particular non-fiction programming, is so poor.
The way to get a new author's novel past the front desk and into the hands of someone who might recognize it as a possible best-seller is the same as it is with TV shows. It is not an urban legend that Harry Potter author JK Rowling plied publisher after publisher to get seen, being handed rejection after rejection. It was because the system did not allow great ideas to filter up to top management because those on the front line were the lowly privates, not the officers. I imagine thousands of great works never published because of this inept system. Because new authors can now easily self-publish, it has changed the way publishers find new authors. They look for the best sellers, monitor trends, and then when the time is right, offer the biggest authors publishing contacts. They take the risk out of publishing new authors because their 'new' author is already selling. In some cases they make the authors world famous, and in others, kill their work by unfair contracts. But the authors who get no such offers, they can still publish their work and attract followers, and make a good living out of writing.
The TV commissioning system is very similar.
I have a new idea. It's called The Vanishing Act. I think it's the best TV idea I've ever had. With some research amongst my peers, it's been met with universal excitement. Not expensive to produce, it has huge series potential, and will appeal to a wide, middle-class audience and has extraordinary visual appeal. It ticks all the important boxes, so a network should get excited too. Not likely. The trouble is, it doesn't appeal to most twenty-something girls, And that is who has to approve the idea for it to be taken any further. Without getting past them, it's a non-starter.
On the front line of most new program commissioning systems are twenty-something girls. What appeals to twenty-something girls? Not a trans-Africa expedition, or a trek across the Simpson Desert. And not The Vanishing Act. If by chance it does get a second look, then a team of slightly older, but not much more sensible young people get to give it the thumbs-up or down.
The result of this system are programs with gutter trash themes of domestic violence and illicit sex, incest, bank repossession teams, clearing out storage containers (which I should add, is scripted with actors), makeup, cool sweaty men driving cranes and shouting Yee-haa when they successfully move a log, teenage pregnancy and so on. Despite the claims made on the commissioning pages of networks like Sky and Ch4, the system fails to produce quality shows that fill the wide needs of a wide audience. Instead it fills the needs of the lowest common denominator of intelligence in the viewing public. Intelligent people have to hope for something they like on BBC-4, or go to bed and read a book.
The end is in sight for regular, terrestrial TV.
It's again the Internet we have to thank. I'm cancelling my Sky subscription when the one-year contact ends, because everything I want to watch is free-to-air. I look out for BBC documentaries, which are of a very high standard. They rejected The Vanishing Act too, but for a reasonable reason. They liked the idea but felt it was too close to something they have in the pipeline. I must accept this at face value. But Channel-4's response was typical of the system. They said it was too "Straight' and that they wanted more ideas like "The Undateables", a series dedicated to unfortunate people who are so ugly or deformed that nobody could ever possibly want to date them.
To get on the first ladder to a commission, the idea must firstly have a title that resembles a Hollywood movie, it must feature a TV or Hollywood Star and ideally needs to have some degenerative disease as a theme.
The solution.
Stop paying monthly bills for TV you don't watch and instead back independent film producers making things you want to watch. Back crowd-funding projects like those that appear on Kickstarter. Subscribe to websites with shows you like such as 4xoverland.com.

Arizona in the summer
The overland expo, run near Flagstaff, Arizona, was an eye-opener for me. It is not an expo, in the traditional sense. It is an event. Aviation enthusiasts, especially private flyers and those who have dabbled in home-built aircraft, will know of Oshkosh. The EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) yearly gathering at Oshkosh. Wisconsin has been described by some of the world's best-loved aviation writers as, The greatest event in all of aviation. It is where lovers of airplanes, builders of airplanes and flyers come and meet and greet like-minded people. Mostly, they come and see what everyone else is doing with their airplanes. Overland Expo is the overlander's Oshkosh.
I was struck by the huge range of vehicles and the diversity of accessories on display. Gladly, for me anyway, the show did not showcase much off the vast array of tires, suspension lifts and gear aimed at what I regard as the red-neck approach to 4x4: who's got the biggest adrenaline-inducing V8, the most axle articulation and who can shout Yee-Haa the loudest? It is mainly for the 4x4 enthusiast who's primary aspiration is to go overland. Just like me.
Only a helicopter shot would be able to adequately provide an idea of the size of the event. There was an entire dry lake bed (Lake Mormon) on which to camp. And there were thousands of roof-tents and trailers attached to every 4x4 type you can imagine. But one thing was missing – not a single Toyota Land Cruiser 70-series of any type. I always get a homely feeling when I see one, so I spent the week a little home-sick.
While there were most 4x4 makers on Earth represented in one way or another, amazingly, I saw three Steyr Puch Pinzgauers. The motorcycles section was vast, with a huge array of kit and accessories on display or for sale. The only manufacturer that made any effort at all was Land Rover. A local franchise was involved with a selection of new Range Rovers, Range Rover Sports, LR4s and Evoques giving rides over what looked like a typical, easy-going marketing track. And some North American Land Rovers groups were involved with teaching subjects such as winching, recovery, trailing and overland. It's the love of their marquee that makes Land Rover in many ways unique in motoring. You can say what you like about Land Rovers, no one can touch them for the owners and their spirit of togetherness. It's something to be admired.
As for me, my two seminars on Telling Great Stories with Video, and the presentation TV shows, Solo Across the Kalahari were so well received, that I am busy creating a on-line and face to face teaching product. And I have been asked to present the class at a more formal situation in North America and Canada. I must say, I did enjoy presenting and the great interaction with the students, and look forward to more of it.
But perhaps the biggest revelation of all was, that in parts of the US, overlanding is unbelievably free and accessible. Unlike most countries in Europe and Africa, wild camping is not only legal but encouraged, and safe. In parts of Arizona, and many other states, maps are available detailing rough tracks heading into the wilderness. They are marked with GPS points and keys indication were wild camping is permitted. I had never imagined I would want to return to the US for an overland expedition.
And to my new American friends; Kris, Cameron, Jeremy and Robert. (You know who you are) Thank you for your kindness.

MBX Concept Art by AlexRuizArtWatch
©2009-2016 AlexRuizArt
This environment concept art was done for Grant Morrisons MBX by Virgin Comics. See the trailer here [link]roject=412
You may recognize the middle image as I've already posted it, but I wanted to show the paradise and destroyed versions of it. Definitely easier to destroy a city than to make paradise of it!

Good work.
I enjoyed your piece very much. So much so that I wrote a story based off of this. Of course I took some creative liberties, but hopefully you'll still enjoy it. Falling Through Change.
This is so amazing, i would love knowing how to make environments like you.
Very cool. The second one could be a city in Deus Ex Human Revolution
Fantastic work
A truly great post apocalyptic landscape!
Nice work. I really enjoy the destroyed version of the city.
This is some good stuff..just amazing
nice... O.O
great work
Oh my that's great I love your work
woah this is so beautiful!
Nice artwork.........
I'm torn in two, I can't decide which one I like better the city or the wasteland city...
can you give me 10 points please.
very well done
Awesome work. Each image has great color, depth, and contrast.
this is great work, the colour pallets and epic feel of all three images is mind-blowing. How long did you take on each piece.
You are so good!
Awesome concept artwork.
beautiful work...i can already dream up a story for each scene
Hello there! im Rj CEO of MoyaGames! i saw your drawings and fell in love! you are fantastic! we have been working on this game for a little while. I was featured on local news on T.V. because of this! We have so many original ideas, story, and a beautiful style! I hope you are interested!

wow this is one of the best pictures that I have seen in a while.
It really wouldn't be the same without the destroyed picture
It really wouldn't be the same without the destroyed picture
*starts crying* waaaaaaaaaaaaah! its too awsome!!!!!!!!
Omg, I wouldn't even know how to start drawing this! Amazing detail and everything, I love it
Super Brilliant work here! ^^
absolutely amazing
It was so cool when I realized that all of the images were built on the same landscape! It makes me think of a timeline: first their was this natural paradise with probably some indigenous inhabitants, then some colonists moved in and over a few hundred years they built over the paradise, turning it into a megalopolis, and then finally being destroyed by a nuclear war or something.
this. is. awesome..
god, i wish i was that good, lol..
god, i wish i was that good, lol..
i love how you did the skies in the destroyed environment.
truly amzing! fav
truly amzing! fav
ok, viewing these three pieces had a wow coming out of my mouth of every single one.
very very nice, i don't know which one i love the best, because they are all different from another.
very very nice, i don't know which one i love the best, because they are all different from another.
It kind of shows a progression yeah? This is why I'm an environmentalist
Oh my gosh, can you get any betterer than this. teh way it all comes together in teh first panel, i mean i cant look at the trees and think you ripped them out of a photo.
this is awesome man!!
That top one is my favorite - love the style of it.
Each picture looks progressively less beautiful. Not as in how it is drawn, but you know how it goes once places are mowed over to build cities.
wow, these are amazing landscapes. you have created a sense of depth in all three of the landscape. amazing
I'd like to live in the first section please..
(beautiful work)
(beautiful work)
Incredible work, man... truly
Wow, those are amazing, to see the changes-truly amazing. Love the paradise before it's all taken over by buildings XD. I like the fact that you can still see the river running through-so awesome .
love all 3 of them.. each are very atmospheric and convey the right mood. good work!
La tercera le da un aire a fallout 3 increible... Genial arte, sigue asi de bien!
This is beautiful...
Great... very well done, i have no words to say...

As the owner of two Gigi's Cupcakes stores in Athens, Georgia, I am so delighted to share my favorite cupcakes with you! After spending five years living in the middle of Georgia Bulldog country, I have fallen in love with this exciting community, and I wanted to bring something equally exciting and fun to our neighborhood. Gigi's uniquely decorated cupcakes are made fresh daily and since variety is the spice of life, we keep things interesting with over 80 incredible flavor varieties offered throughout the year!
Before finding Gigi's Cupcakes, I spent my entire career in the healthcare industry looking after the health and well being of others. I decided I wanted to try something different, and as a devoted cupcake fan, I began looking into opening a cupcake shop of my own. While on a hockey trip to Huntsville, Alabama with my family, I stumbled across the Gigi's Cupcakes website and was intrigued, but then fate stepped in and took things one step farther.
We had some free time before the first game and decided to stop by the mall to do some window-shopping, and right in front of us was a table display of Gigi's cupcakes from a recently opened store nearby. Mesmerized by what we had just seen, we took a trip to the store the very next day and we were hooked! After sitting on the idea for over a year, I finally decided to make my dream a reality.
My goal as the owner of Gigi's Cupcakes in Athens, is to bring everyone happiness through cupcakes. Whether giving them or receiving them – they are bound to make you smile! I hope that you will come by and visit us, to share your smiles and to let us be a part of your special occasions and celebrations!
Gigi's says their cupcakes are baked with love, and during Childhood Awareness Month, they proved it.
Every Saturday in September, each Georgia Gigi's location baked special "Gold Ribbon" cupcakes, and all proceeds from the sale of those cupcakes were donated to CURE Childhood Cancer. Customers who purchased these cupcakes were entered into a drawing each week for an autographed baseball signed by 2014 Hall of Fame inductee and former Atlanta Braves pitcher, Tom Glavine. At the end of the month, customers were entered to win an autographed photo of Glavine.
"Thanks to the enthusiastic support of our fans, Gigi's gave away 32 baseballs, eight photos, and, more importantly, raised $4,200.00 to help fund childhood cancer research! ," said Deena Coughlin, owner of Gigi's at The Forum.
The check was presented today to Kristin Connor, Executive Director of CURE, by Coughlin (owner of Gigi's at The Forum) and Judy Kenney (owner of Gigi's Marietta/Kennesaw). Not pictured were participating owners Sarah Harberts (Buckhead/Peachtree City), Bobbi Zastre (Athens), Gil Lyons (Sandy Springs), and Jennifer Cooper (Columbus).

Human Capital: Education and Agriculture
This chapter presents a review and synthesis of effects of education in agriculture, summarizes major contributions, and suggests major research gaps in the literature. Although growth in knowledge enables skill acquisition and specialization of labor, which generally raises labor productivity, and technical change, the dominant effect of agriculture has been technical change. A puzzle remains why schooling does not have broader direct impacts in agriculture. Furthermore, as we proxy education or general intellectual achievement by schooling in our empirical research, this has led to biased interpretations of impacts when general intellectual achievement of school graduates changes over time and perhaps in nonlinear ways.

Composition to a Confidant, Lover, and Friend
Monday, September 30, 2013
Shadows of despair
longing for our conversation
Realizing you're no longer there
elicited by our connection
Concern about your wellbeing
Longing for your presence
In a war against my past distress
The barrier meant for protection
Has caused cardiac unrest.
Now aches behind these walls
The mind that's usually agile
Has now choked and stalled
Toward a deserted dead end street
Sacrificing my happiness
As a result of past deceit
Or push for another chance?
The right direction can not be discerned.
Until I dig my heart from the sands
The hope of what I'll again be
Our meeting was orchestrated from above
Love in my heart for you is for eternity.

A Journey of Hope
Each time the screen illuminates
I smile in hopes that it's your face I see
It's reading your kind words that brighten my days
Giving life to the hope inside of me.
The desire I feel inside is one I thought had expired.
To lay in your arms and experience your presence
Longing to be soothed by your effervescence.
Of All the anguish I have allowed to take over my heart
The pain I've internalized...Can it now depart?
To a place of darkness where I will no longer reside
Filling me with light rather than being empty inside
The presence of your name in my inbox
Or your picture across my screen.
Chips away at the concrete encasing of my emotions
And the fear suppressing my dreams
Illusions of a place and time were happiness was sublime
No longer a distant image of days and times gone by.
Dreaming of a journey with destination yet unknown
From cyber space to face to face; possibilities untold.
Monday, March 25, 2013
As I close my eyes to clear my head
Visions of you enter instead.
Glimpses of your effervescent smile.
Thoughts of your presence across the miles.
The aroma of your aura consumes my nostrils.
Imagining your caress it all seems possible.
That I...
Can almost taste your sweet saliva on my lips.
Feel your massive hands on my hips.
My imagination running wild...
Producing giggles resembling a child.
Overflowing with radiant bliss
Just from your soft touch or a gentle kiss.
Random visions traverse through my cerebrum
Leaving me longing for freedom.
My mind struggles to resist
But the mental and physical desire continues to persist.
Acquaintance has not yet been made.
Your countenance have not yet my eyes laid.
Continuously visualizing that one sweet day
Recognizing its inevitability so come what may.
An unexplainable mind-body connection,
Is it destiny or some absurd obsession?
Or possibly a piece of existence,
That we have been missing?
The undeniable communing of our spirits is out of this world.
The level of discernment makes my head swirl
Words, thoughts, ideas, experiences
Can all of this possibly be a coincidence?
The yearning to know is more than I can bare.
Curiosity will linger until a face to face glance we share
Is it love,lust or loneliness...all of the above is my guess.
Until we decipher this celestial mystery neither of us will rest.
So putting common sense aside
Detouring from where right and wrong reside
Following the gravitational pull and celestial alignment.
Pursuing our own yearning to a place of fulfillment...
Monday, February 18, 2013
Destiny's Journey
The essence of success
The sensation of feeling
Your heartbeat in your chest
The knowledge that this battle is just the beginning of a struggle
An ongoing journey to destiny made for no other
The obstacles and roadblocks would make most turn away
In Limbo

Treasure My Jewel
My mind is not a toy to be played with
Nor is it a hungry wet p***y craving to be f*****d and thrown away
It is a precious jewel to be handled with care
It resembles a freshly healed womb that should be respected
For its creations past, present and future
My mind loves to be stimulated, massaged, and intrigued
It does not respond to manipulation, belittlement, or negativity
To gain entrance into my mental sanctum
You must strip yourself completely of all ill intentions and thoughts of domination.
Be willing to engage in simultaneous exploration of our cranial connections
Desire to learn all the intricate details and complexities of this dynamic piece of artistic perfection.
Not until it has shown respect will it even entertain the possibility
of allowing itself to be possessed, caressed, or infiltrated.
This requires a sense of trust and security.
It's not about love but loyalty.
This jewel if handled with care
Will lead you to a climatic experience beyond compare.
Physical exploration will only provide temporary satisfaction.
Access to my treasure is a journey toward unending fortune.
Delve into this priceless gem so you can better understand
Why your desire to explore this immaculate jewel never seems to end.
Treasure My Jewel!

Swimming names captains for 2013-14
Courtesy: UNDsports.com
Release: 10/01/2013
Release: 10/01/2013
GRAND FORKS, N.D.-- First-year head coach Chris Maiello has announced his captains for the upcoming season. Camille Merwin and Morgan Lynch are the women's captains while Rick Eberle and Dan Jacobson will lead the men's group.
"We are very fortunate to have these outstanding young men and women serve as our team captains this season," Maiello said. "These four individuals have provided vital leadership for our program in a time of transition. I am excited to watch them grow and reach their athletic, academic and professional goals. They will continue to provide leadership and set the example for our program. I have great faith that they will help our program in more ways than just in the competition pool."
Lynch is the UND record holder in three different events (500, 1000 and 1650 free), setting all three at the 2012 WAC Championships. Merwin ranks fourth all-time at UND in the 100 breaststroke, a mark she set at the Conference USA meet in 2011. Her three best efforts last season all came at the WAC meet (100 breast, 100 fly, 200 IM).
Eberle became the first UND male diver to qualify for the NCAA Division I Zone diving meet last season. He is the school record holder in every diving event. Jacobson's name appears in the UND top 10 in four different events (50 back, 100 back, 200 back, 50 fly).
The UND men will join the women in the Western Athletic Conference this season after the league reinstated the sport for the 2013-14 campaign. The WAC Championships are held February 26th through March 1.
UND will begin competition this week when its hosts an intrasquad scrimmage at Hyslop Pool Friday at 4:00 p.m. The season officially gets underway Oct. 12 when North Dakota hosts South Dakota State at 1:00 p.m.

In my application, I am getting feeds(in the form of XML). I need to push these feeds to memcached. The feed expected to last for 24 hours. The reason being, there are some matching process need to happen on this cache. My problem is if the Cache server crashes, all my data is lost. I can't retrieve it. I am thinking to have a messaging queue, so that the feed comes first to messaging queue and then flows to Memcached Server. So that even if the cache server crashes, the data is still with messaging queue.
Is this is a better solution and there can be a better solution to it.
Regards, Debasish

A bad year for the Eagles got worse yesterday, with the announcement that anabolic steroids were discovered in the dorm room where Garrett Reid passed away in August.
Garrett, the 29-year-old son of head coach Andy Reid, was a volunteer strength and conditioning coach with the Eagles. It was no secret that the younger Reid battled addiction throughout his short life, but in the months leading up to his death it was believed he'd found a passion in weightlifting and strength training.
Further testing is required to determine whether any of these steroids were in Garrett Reid's system at the time of his death. Of course, with the controversies that have surrounded professional sports in recent years, the unanswered question is whether the drugs were intended for distribution.
Sports Doc attempts to address that question through the examination of the four drugs found in Reid's room with the help of Daniel Hussar, PhD, professor of pharmacy at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy at the University of the Sciences.

A Blog Series for Microsoft Dynamics Partners by Kati Hvidtfeldt, US Microsoft Dynamics ERP Cloud Lead.
The current market offers opportunities for partners who can present the ERP cloud solution as a strategy that addresses the concerns of C-level decision makers. In this space we typically provide insights on ERP in the cloud from the partner or Microsoft field perspective. Today we offer the perspective of Microsoft Dynamics Technical Director Nancy Lee, a software engineer and 13-year CIO for a midsize customer with 22 locations and 500+ employees.
ERP is the single most important piece of software in the business. It encompasses all corporate financial and customer information, and it defines operations and how businesses invoice their customers. Most C-level decision makers have lived through at least one difficult ERP transition project. However they are often unaware that the high risk and high costs frequently associated with legacy system and vendor integration—up to 50% of the entire project cost—don't have to apply in today's market.
Most C-level decision makers have a vested interested in the success of ERP projects, but they don't all have the same perspective. For the CIO, this is the one project she can bet her career on—shine or fail. With her other responsibilities she has little time for the due diligence needed to prove out the ROI and justify the expense. And this is why a knowledgeable partner is so important.
Businesses with a legacy of painful experiences are not just looking for software: they are looking for STRATEGY and BEST PRACTICES. They want partners to demonstrate creative and productive solutions other companies are using, and to show how ERP in the cloud delivers a positive ROI. Partners who do this well win deals that effectively shift the implementation budget away from hardware to improve their own profitability.
By presenting a cloud strategy you can gain credibility and respond to concerns of every C-level position:
Much like the advent of relational databases, the cloud is here to stay. Partners who are not cloud knowledgeable will lose creditability, and partners who can deliver strategic value will become trusted advisors. ERP in the cloud is a strategy that adds value for customers and prospects while increasing revenue for partners who are ready to embrace it. Visit the Microsoft Dynamics Countdown to the Cloud page on PartnerSource for more information on how to incorporate cloud solutions into your business plans.

TARZAN: Hollywood's Greatest Jungle Hero
Behlmer, Rudy, American Cinematographer
THERE HAVE BEEN many styles of fantasy jungles in books and on the screen. Certainly H. Rider Haggard's concept was not the same as Kipling's or Edgar Rice Burroughs', just as Sol Lesser's Tarzan films of the 19405 and 19505 differed considerably from the interpretation presented in Warner Bros.' 1984 production of Grey stoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. This in turn was a major departure from the mythical jungle milieu conjured up by MGM for its six films featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan during the 19308 and early 19405. Paradoxically, the MGM Tarzans drew little from Burroughs' original concept, but, rather, the impetus stemmed from the studio's 1931 jungle adventure tale, Trader Horn.
Although Trader Horn's cost eventually reached $1,32.2,000 (an enormous sum for the early Depression), it did exceptionally good business internationally. And internationally is a key word. The exotic melodrama involving basic, elementary character interworkings and an abundance of action and adventure did not suffer the fate of other genres that may or may not be popular, or indeed, be able to be understood in other countries and cultures.
What production chief Irving Thalberg and supervisor Bernard Hyman needed was a follow-up. Perhaps further adventures of Trader Horn? Well ... But someone at the studio thought of taking the creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs, "Tarzan of the Apes," and devising an original story that might involve Trader Horn with the ape man. Tarzan, in Burroughs' original 1912 story, is brought up by the apes in the jungle and later sees Jane, who is part of a scientific research party, and abducts her. The primitive and the civilized meet in the Garden of Eden. Basic culture clash. In a sense, this was an inversion of the film version of Trader Horn wherein Horn and his friend discover a "white goddess" brought up by a tribe in Africa. They rescue her, and she and Horn's friend fall in love. Now the above constitutes only a small portion of Trader Horn, the 1927 book, which is essentially a string of reminiscences - at least some of which fall under the category of, shall we say, tall tales. Horn's white goddess had been around for decades in fiction, feature pictures, serials, etc ... And, of course, Tarzan was in some way a derivation from the legend of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, who were supposed to have been suckled and raised by a she-wolf. And there was Kipling's Mowgli in The jungle Book - one more variation on the "wolf boy" myths that had fascinated Europe since the Middle Ages.
Negotiations between Burroughs and MGM began in March of 1931, only a few weeks after Trader Horn was released. In a memo from MGM story editor Sam Marx to MGM executive Eddie Mannix (April 2, 1931), Marx says "Mr. Thalberg is interested in the title and story Tarzan of the Apes." The actual contract, dated April 15, 1931, specified that "Burroughs grants rights to Metro to write an "original story," using character of 'Tarzan,' and any other character used in stories heretofore written by author . . . Author to point out any material which conflicts or infringes upon any story heretofore written by author . . . Consideration: $2.0,000 . . . [and] $1,000 per week for each of five weeks of author's services ..." What this last portion meant was that Burroughs would read the scripts to be sure they were not based (in whole or in part) on his own works.
Bernie Hyman was to be the line producer (or supervisor) under Irving Thalberg, and contract writer Cyril Hume was assigned the script. Hume was an obvious choice. After director W.S. Van Dyke and company returned in December, 1919, from filming Trader Horn in Africa, several writers were given the task of trying to provide smoother connective tissue by way of additional dialogue and scenes to be photographed in the jungles and sound stages of Southern California and primarily on the backlot.
Some of the problems encountered in Africa had been brought on by the sound revolution. …

CHICAGO -- There have been about a dozen media availabilities in the last week and only one game played, which amounts to too much talk and not enough action. Game 2, though, is upon us -- and the coaching wheels are beginning to spin. Three things to watch, then:
1) The Carcillo effect. We know this much, that Dan Carcillo will enter the lineup for Game 2 against the Blackhawks and that James van Riemsdyk will exit. The notion that Carcillo is coming in because the Flyers were terribly outhit in Game 1 or weren't physical enough is kind of overstating things -- but that's what the Stanley Cup Final is about, after all -- a big stage and big overstatements. More on this below.
2) The Parent trap. The other lineup change is that Ryan Parent is almost certainly coming out on defense. Then again, after playing only 41 seconds in Game 1 -- during which he lost his stick and the Flyers gave up a goal -- that decision was pretty obvious from that point on. The assumption is that Oskars Bartulis -- who played a little in the first round against New Jersey -- will be back again. This, though, is not a huge deal. If Bartulis plays 5 minutes, it will be an upset.
3) The goaltender's leash. After allowing five goals and getting yanked out of Game 1, Michael Leighton is back for more. Two points: 1) the defense in front of him was weak, and 2) Leighton did not make a big save, not one. To completely absolve the goaltender here is to deny the reality of the sport. Leighton should be on a short leash. If the Flyers fall behind by 2-0, and there is even the whiff of softness in Leighton's play, Flyers coach Peter Laviolette is probably going to have to go get him, and probably for good, in favor of Brian Boucher (who seems fine physically after Game 1, his first action following two knee sprains suffered in the conference finals).

Doesn't this smack of "Vee haf vays of making you enchoy yourself"?
I' rather sorry I saw this!
Surely it was in the '50s or '60s that someone was canning 'pea-soupers' and selling to nostalgic expat Londoners?
I presume you mean 'hara kiri.'
"if it's moving at relativistic velocity, " it'll be travelling through a lot of "large millimetres!:
O K, but visit Knossos and see the flush toilet there dated about 1700 BC, and you'll realise it's not such a complicated business!
Has the LHC found evidence for the existence of Satan?
I'd have expected Miyamoto Musashi to have been cremated.
Yes. Thomas Watson Jnr (of IBM! fame) is believed to have said at some time in the late '50s or 'early '60s: "There is a world market for 11 computers."
("Who would ever want more than 640K of memory?")
A C wrote: "Did that even exist when she graduated in the DDR? My doubts cannot be allayed..."
Quantum Chemistry has existed since the big bang; it is the study of it that is of fairly recent origin.
OK, and if you take a ruler to ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimetre Array) there's no knowing what you may find!
Not Hari Seldon, then?
An upvote from me for the reference to one of my favourite (short) sf stories.
Actually, the human centre of mass is in the pelvis.
"Seriously, is there no limit to human daftness?"
cf Einstein's well known dictum: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity.; and I have reservations about the universe."
I just wonder what the "small" electrode is made of if it can be placed over a single atom? A quark whisker?
And you wouldn't need to check the cat!
And at least one of us lives in Crete!
The photo on that page is from "The Seventh Seal" written and directed by Ingmar Bergman with Max von Sydow as Antonius Block, the knight who plays Death at chess.
And in Greece, the TV license is included in the Electricity Bill, as is the council tax.
Everyone with an electric meter has to pay the TV license.
The council tax amounts to some 6 - 7+ Euros per month in Crete, with bins emptied almost every day!
In the same way as you know when you've run out of invisible ink!
Interestingly, the "poll" in poll tax is not connectrd with polls as in voting, but a reuse of the old phrase "poll tax" where "poll" meant "head."
Who names these things?
Often wondered that; some quite thoughtless!
ALMA - Atacama Large Millimetre Array; What is a large millimetre, and what would an array of them be like?
Plenty of people actually like to go for a run or walk first thing in the morning, before breakfast, to "wake up" the fat-burning mechanism within the body before they consume any carbs.
Interesting to notice the body shapes of those, in travel -type films, found doing Tai Chi in various Chinese parks early in the mornings; very few of them seem to be obese.
Great believer in resveratrol myself!
(Obviouslu can.t use the beer icon!)
The Diet Delusion would be a good start - very thick and a bit turgid, with a huge bibliography. Paper-back edition available from Amazon, and presumably other booksellers.
It apopears that the villain is insulin; a good high protein/high fat diet with low sugar tends to kep then insulin in equibrilium, and it is the large swings in insulin levels that lead on to multiple diseases.
"In the beginning, God said the four-dimensional divergence of an antisymmetric,
second rank tensor equals zero, and there was Light, and it was good."
(Can't remember where I snitched this from - apologies to originator)
I was an avid reader of Len Deighton's works when they first came out, and on later seeing many of them transferred to the screen was surprised to note that the central character had acquired a name. My hazy memory informs me that the only times he was ever addressed by a name in the canon was as "English" by Colonel Stok.; am I wrong?
Remember Emo Phillips's one liner?
"A computer beat me at chess; but it was no match for me at kickboxing."
The "est" is superfluous - perhaps you haven't read much Tacitus?
Worked on testing these - hydraulic head actuators!.
Went on to EDS60s with voice-coil head movements, and with "New Range" we had 100Mb drives with bthe platters running in sealed containers with pessurised Helium; the unit was the size of a fridge-freezer.
I saw that as "manmade walrus" - gave me pause for thought!
You wrote: "Any quantity of virgins over 3 is unlikely going to be *heaven* anyway. Anyone who has a few sisters knows that the recipient is not going to enjoy himself very much.."
And think of 46 mothers-in-law!
For most of my life, the "witty" answer has been "For some fowl purpose." Which led to my making up the following: Why did the dolphin cross the river? For some foul porpoise.
As to wor4king in Data Mines - remember PICK?
¨Ad astra tabernamque¨
I aḿ not happy about that ´que´; it implies an equality between the two things named by the nouns. Remember the great schism, the split between Rome and the Eastern church, was prompted in part by by the inclusion of the word ´Filioque´ in the Nicene Creed.
Etonian graduates, not to forget Fettes, Harrow, Charterhouse, Westminster..... graduates!
Why are we eginning to use th American phrase: ¨high-school graduate¨?
The quote was _inverse_ femtobarns; could be pretty large!
An upvote for the Franziskaner Dunkel!
Tacitus, and most classical Latinists, would not have needed the ¨est.¨
Don´t forget, also, that you _MUST NOT_ silence the ads on TV, nor FF over them on recordings!
¨You could call her Newt for short.¨ And if sheś very small, you could call her ´My Newt.´
You get my upvote for that "unless", a point I have repeatedly had to make to commentards who say "until."
And don't forget the "Lessons have been learnt" mantra
" I'll be buggered if I know how to use a slide rule either." Poor chap! I got my first one at age 11 - celluloid glued to paper glued to wood. Necessary for School Certificate Physics and Chemistry.
Plastic eventually took over, and I've still got a Faber Castell I used much later.: folded dual scale (so 10" was effectvely 20") with reciprocal scale in the centre of the slide, sin, cos, tan scales on the back (not to mention the bibulous shin, cosh, and tanh), and a little KW to HP coversion offset on he cursor..
Who needs a calclator?
Yes, I know, some Japanese whizz-kid with a soroban (abacus) can do it faster!
"Urine from farm animals ..." My first job after leaving school in 1950 was as a technician in a pharmaceutical company development research lab.After settling i, I was given the task of synthesising a number of androgens. Considerable literature research was necessary to find suitable methods. I was amazed at the fact that in those days a major source of steroids and hormones entering aademic and industrial laboratories for investigation was pregnant mares' urine.
Must say I'm a devotee of the Keith Floyd school of cooing myself!
I remember this book well; read in early '50's. Also remember the furore it caused and the accusations that boffins had closed minds.
What happened to Adamski?
And then, later, we had the Von Daenniken oeuvre.
The enforced dismissals is the clincher; responsibility doesn't stop at the clerk/office worker actually making the mistake, they have supervisors and setters of security policy.
A local authority justt laughs at a fine: therre are plenty of taxpayers! Start sacking officers and managers, and you could 'concentrate their minds.'

Celtic rejects 'aid' claims on land deals
/ News
Celtic have described claims that the club benefited from 'state aid' in land deals as "preposterous".
The European Commission has asked for details from the football club and Glasgow City Council after receiving a number of complaints about the purchase of land around Celtic Park.
The Commission has not opened a formal investigation but is analysing information.
Celtic said the purchases had been made on "commercial terms at market rates" and it will assist the Commission fully.
A spokesman for the Glasgow City Council said: "The Commission is legally obliged to investigate all such allegations, and the council was happy to provide information."
A statement on Celtic's website read: "Celtic Football Club operates to the highest standards and with the utmost integrity.
"At a time when the club is committed to investing in and improving areas around Celtic Park, not only for Celtic supporters but for the benefit of the local community, it is sad that these baseless accusations have been raised with the Commission.
"Any suggestion that Celtic has been the beneficiary of state aid is preposterous."
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "We are aware of these allegations and we are working with the relevant parties to help the Commission to investigate this case consistent with our role to ensure public funds in Scotland are used in compliance with EU state aid regulations."

Mirrors (2008)
very weak result considering what the idea implied..
Alright, my first movie comment. But on a bad one though: Actually I'm a big fan of mystery/horror haunting movies, but Mirrors could not give anything to me what it promised, i.e. shocking results of the idea of haunted mirrors. In the opening scene i was quite satisfied with the realization of the idea "reflections doing reversed things", but with the fast pace of the storytelling all became more and more futile: Very stereotype things there as the interracial relationship, k.Sutherland having lost his job because of drinking, living separated with his wife, no real character depth neither for his wife or the 2 children (Michael loses big time against any of the 6th sense and ring-kids..), no one believes him, taking pills = seeing weird things.. And yes the fast pace of the story: all of a sudden his sister dying through the mirror grudge (relation?) - and what a stupid exaggerated scene with her breaking out her jawbone.. (done 100 times more shockingly in "the orphanage) (by the way jawbone in German means "kiefer" (so funny ). Then, also all of a sudden help from everywhere, a story unfolds, and then comes the mystery lady (flashbacks also appear quite borrowed from ring, grudge, exorcist etc. ..) Anna. Oh yes, first he visits her relatives (of course, again stereotype, comical country guys, showing him everything he wants. 24-like trained he manages to get to the girl, now old lady, who maybe responsible for the hauntings.. and she is a living nun. OK, she doesn't want to help, so he points a gun at her and forces her and of all a sudden she wants to. meanwhile his family, logically, is fully haunted (movie's already finishing..), just because in the house are also mirrors. ..And water of course, also reflects! WHy the boy is haunted so badly by then, i really cannot say. And the once so schizophrenic nun helps: she (we have to think) dies in an imploding mirror-room, where she was put in her childhood. (because the haunted burned building was a former mental hospital of course) -
and -again - all of a sudden all mirrors implode/explode and everything is fine. Ah wait, no another exaggerated scene to come. She now is a monster and flies through the room attacking Mr. Sutherland. But at the end he kills her. Steps out of the building, and OK, i admit (also good idea (why not more of these..?) everything is reflected. So we can assume Kiefer S. now is a Ghost. This gets a 4. I promise to review a 9/10 movie next time.

Eavesdrop> Hollywood Hits the Beach: Who will live in Michael Maltzan's new triangular house?
Thursday, July 2, 2015
The Editors.
Rumor has it that Michael Maltzan Architecture (MMA) is hard at work on a triangle-shaped Malibu home for one of Hollywood's biggest names. The MMA crew is keeping mum on the client, but we've heard it's not an actor. Geometric coastal living for a director or producer, perhaps?
Malibu modern icon faced with demolition

747 House Sneak Peek
Thursday, June 16, 2011
Sam Lubell.
David Hertz's 747 House in Malibu— literally made from the wings and fuselage of a a retired 747— is not quite done (it's residents are moving in now). But we've been able to get a few pictures of the house from photographer Sara Jane Boyers, who has been documenting the project since June 2008. Hertz obtained the 747 for $50,000, and has used every bit of it in the construction of the main residence and six ancillary structures (note the wing roofs and the engine fountain, for starters). Besides the obvious green-ness of being recycled from an airplane, the house also uses Solar power, radiant heating and natural ventilation. Enjoy these pix and stay tuned for more as the house finishes up.
