Phase 1 of Coleman Boulevard Revitalization kicks-off with lane shift between Fairmont and Pherigo
By Sully Witte
Main street? Where's that?
Well folks, it's coming. It'll take two years, but designers say it's worth the construction headache.
Talk of revitalizing the Coleman Boulevard corridor is nothing new, and it and it has gotten more serious in the past five years. A revitalization master plan developed in 2008 with significant public and business input has resulted in numerous zoning and development guideline revisions that encourage mixed-use developments within a "Main Street" setting.
A major component of these previous efforts involves reconstructing Coleman Boulevard itself to create a landscaped median, on-street parking opportunities, increased travel opportunities for bicycles and pedestrians and a vibrant activity zone between the roadway and buildings fronting the street.
As such, the town is currently performing a design upgrade on the one-mile portion of Coleman Boulevard between Shem Creek and the Chuck Dawley/Ben Sawyer Boulevard intersection (at Royall Hardware). A major design element also includes a multi-lane roundabout at the Chuck Dawley/Ben Sawyer Boulevard intersection.
The speed limit will decrease along the boulevard as the project is designed to turn Coleman Boulevard into a destination rather than a pass through.
Bill Eubanks, creative director of Urban Edge Studio (part of Seamon, Whiteside & Associates), said the corridor plan approval process included public workshops but no more than 20 people showed up, Those public opportunities included a week-long charette, multiple public meetings and public hearings. The amount of public input opportunity was unprecedented, he explained.
"The master plan was to make that old Family Dollar store the catalyst for the whole project," he said. "The main reason the first phase of the road construction is happening there is because that's where the main building project is underway. And on-street parking is part of the draw for the boulevard to help support retail uses there."
The Phase I road construction contract was awarded to Gulf Stream Construction, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Beach Company which is developing the apartment complex called The Boulevard.
This multi-use facility is made up of 325 apartments, 12,000 square feet of commercial space and a three-story parking garage. It is scheduled for completion in the summer. Located across the street from Brookgreen Town Center, another Beach Company project, it's the first major step in establishing a pedestrian-friendly main street for Mount Pleasant along Coleman Boulevard, a vision born in 2006 and solidified by a 10-year plan adopted by the town in 2011.
• An eastbound lane shift is slated over the next 60 days between Fairmont and Pherigo Streets on Coleman Boulevard.
• The lane shift will utilize the center turn lane to allow for two eastbound travel lanes.
• Drivers traveling on the eastbound lane of Coleman Boulevard can access the Brookgreen Shopping Center area at the intersections of Fairmont and Pherigo.
• Area businesses will remain open to the public during normal business hours.
• Sidewalk and bike lanes will be closed on the eastbound side during construction.
Ed Barbee, Transportation Construction Liaison Officer, will be handling inquiries about the Coleman project. Most recently, Barbee was the public liaison for the Highway 17 widening project and the Johnnie Dodds Boulevard improvement project.
He said most of the work will be done at night and crews will try to maintain two lanes at all times. "But this is a construction project and things change," he explained.
• Drivers traveling through the project's construction zone are asked to be aware of equipment and crews working in the area at all times. Drivers are encouraged to go slow and allow additional time to reach their destinations safely.
• The public is also asked to notice traffic control signs, reductions in speed limit and message board information, and to note that all road work is dependent on the weather.
The construction will add a median, on-street parking, decorative lighting, benches and signage as a part of the overhaul. Once complete, the entire boulevard will have the same look and feel.
"We do not have a downtown and once complete, this will kind of give us an identity," said Barbee. "That's the positive – but we will have to deal with construction for up to two years."
Some property and business owners along this stretch of Coleman are not happy with the master plan. Tony Page, of Page's Okra Grill, worries that removing the center median will hinder first response vehicles.
Barbee said that the fire and police department were consulted during the design process and responded that they wouldn't have any problems responding to emergency situations with the center raised medians.
Page said he has been told by town officials that this first phase is a test run. Mount Pleasant Town Administrator Eric DeMoura and Barbee assured the Moultrie News that the project has been approved and Phase I is not a "test run."
Page however questioned what would be used as measurable criteria to determine if this design works.
He also questioned why a road construction project would start in the middle of an area in question. "In my opinion, it is because it would make it much easier to lease the residential units in the new Boulevard development," he said.
But Barbee said, "Phase I of the construction along Coleman Boulevard is being done due to an opportunity for the two contractors involved to coordinate their construction to tie the common areas to be provided by The Boulevard complex into the Coleman Boulevard revitalization project," he explained. "This is an example of government and the private sector working together to accomplish a goal that will be more cost effective to both parties."
Eubanks, of Seamon, Whiteside & Associates, said the road design will not hinder first response vehicles. From the police chief, to the fire chief and public services officials - everyone is "totally comfortable with everything as well as the provisions. "There are places in the median where emergency vehicles can cut across the median," he said.
Barbee explained that the fire and police departments were consulted during the design process and responded that they wouldn't have any problems responding to emergency situations with the center raised medians.
And, as the look of the boulevard begins to improve, Page questioned whether the functionality of it would work.
"Here you have a new residential unit going in and a grocery store across the street that does $20 million in revenue a year. That could easily put another 1,000 cars a day on an already overburdened infrastructure," he said.
According to Barbee, "the design team used sophisticated, complex simulation models to determine how traffic will flow through the areas and included these factors in the design."
"And the Coleman Boulevard Revitalization Advisory Board (CRAB) did not want to adversely effect businesses on Coleman with the design, but I think preventing patrons from accessing them is adverse," Page said.
But, Eubanks rebutted that, stating that more than $60 million has been invested by companies along the boulevard so far. Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union, Triangle Char Bar, Juanita Greenberg's and Moultrie Middle School were all built within the guidelines of the plan, he said. "What more proof can anyone need?"
He added that any new construction or renovation must still get approval from the town's Design Review Board.
In addition, "we're coming out of a recession," said Eubanks. "More construction probably would have happened if we wouldn't have had a recession."
George Brewer, property owner of Moultrie Plaza, served on the CRAB. He approves and supports entirely the initiative to make Coleman Boulevard an attractive, viable main street. "I applaud much of the plan's components," he said.
He referenced the mast arms and attractive plantings and the removal of power lines as positive features to the corridor.
"In fact, the allowances for the varying height and density will reflect a true main street," he said.
He explained that while some may see the first initial tall building as an eyesore, the varying heights will begin to make sense when other buildings are constructed at taller levels. "You can't have every building at 50 feet," he added.
There are things other than on-street parking that need focus, Brewer said, such as storm drainage. Eubanks said drainage is addressed in the overall plan. Brewer called the existing drainage woefully inadequate. He had to personally fund a parallel storm and sewer system on his property across from Moultrie Middle School to absorb the overflow drainage from Coleman Boulevard, he said.
Barbee said the existing storm drainage system is undersized and incomplete in some areas and the new construction will improve the system and bring it up standard. "We are not increasing the area of pavement that now exist," he added.
Brewer said the on-street parking, given the limited available right of way, forces the elimination of the center median. What is planned is a raised median, which will result in right turn in, and right turn out for most properties (except at signalized intersections). He claims this will force motorists to cut through residential areas. Eubanks maintains the plan won't.
Barbee explained that the right in - right out scenario will help cut down on accidents. "Local motorists will continue to use neighborhoods as they always have; however, motorists visiting the area will normally remain on the main roadway," said Barbee.
"A classic truism in commercial real estate is that if a property is a non-destination use, such as a gas station, and it is difficult to get to, that property has had a value depreciation and business reduction. This scenario will force customers to move on to an easier property to access," Brewer said.
He said that properties on West Coleman Boulevard with intermittent medians will be more valuable because they are more accessible.
Brewer said he knows that the reduction in value is not the desired intent of town council.
And, he said, Coleman's current configuration already forces motorists through residential areas so they can access signalized intersections. He fears what a right turn in, right turn out scenario will do.
And lastly Brewer said the ultimate insult is where the on-street parking will be implemented - on the south side of Coleman Boulevard (the Moultrie Middle School side of the street) beginning at Shem Creek and through the proposed round-about.
Brewer said there are a variety of different things wrong with the plan "in light of the reality."
"It appears to be a rush to make Disney perfect."
Moultrie Plaza has several egress and ingress options, but the new plan will limit those. Most motorists will enter and exit on Simmons Street primarily, he said.

Barely 3 Years After The Revolutionary Film "The Secret", America & The World Faces Its Worst Financial Crisis in Decades
Is the Law of Attraction Just Hype?
Why – if the Law of Attraction is being used by millions – did America just face its worst job crisis since 1974, and a crumbling economy?
"The 11 Forgotten Laws That Make The Law of Attraction An Unbreakable Force"
Bob Proctor – one of the key figures in "The Secret"- believes that the Law of Attraction is incomplete, and for the first time reveals the 11 Forgotten Laws that will finally uncover the Law's true potential.
"This Is Highly Recommended Without Exception"
"It Has Taken My Business To Another Level"
My Dear Friend:
Let's face it: The current global recession does not seem to be recovering very fast.
Yet, didn't the movie The Secret offer such hope three years ago? It seemed like a bright future that with millions of new converts to the Law of Attraction, a new era of prosperity and abundance will be ushered in.
Perhaps you are one of them.
You faithfully followed each and every one of the 3 steps. Yet the results you "attracted" were dismal at best. If you have any doubt about that…
Just look at the wreckage around you
The financial system has collapsed. More and more major banks are dropping like flies.
And to make things worse…
You're the one who's paying the price
CNN published an article October 7th reporting that 8/10 Americans are stressed out by all these happenings. This year alone, 760,000 jobs will be lost. And that's just the pre-bailout statistics.
Furthermore, even if you're prudently saving, it probably feels like an futile effort. On top of that, inflation rates are soaring.
The question you could be having in your mind is:
"Is the Law of Attraction Hype?"
But before I answer that, let me quickly introduce myself.
My name is Bob Proctor.
Perhaps a quote from Doug Wead, former special assistant to the President of the United States, best describes me:
"Zig Ziglar may be the master motivator, Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the Soul, the master story tellers; Anthony Robbins may be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is the master thinker. When it comes to systemizing life, no one can touch him."
"I Don't Even Want To Imagine Where My Life Would Be If I Hadn't Met Bob Proctor"
Bob's Teachings Made Me Millions
"When I met Bob Proctor I was 20 years old, flat broke and heading in the wrong direction in life. In addition, I had no idea how I was going to build a life for myself that would have meaning and purpose.
Well, it's been twenty seven years since I first attended his program and what he taught me then and continued to teach me over the years has allowed me to make millions of dollars for myself and others while living an extraordinary fulfilling life.
~ John Assaraf, New York Times Bestselling Author, Founder of OneCoach, Inc.
I'm the best-selling author of You Were Born Rich, and have transformed the lives of millions of people through my books, seminars, courses, and personal coaching.
But perhaps what I'm most famous now at this point is for my appearance in The Secret.
I also want to introduce my fellow teacher Mary Manin Morrissey, who is part of the program I want to introduce to you really soon.
Mary is best known as the author of 2 best-selling books, Building Your Field of Dreams, which was adapted into a one hour PBS special, and No Less Than Greatness. Together with the Gandhi and King Foundations, she addressed the United Nations as national co-chair for the Season of Nonviolence.
This great woman also founded and served for 23 years, serving as senior minister of a dynamic church known as the 'Living Enrichment Center."
She's also one of the main champions of the Law of Attraction.
And together… We want to get to the bottom of this mystery:
Why isn't the Law of Attraction working for you?
So I guess you're probably more than a little surprised. You might be asking:
If I'm one of the main evangelist of the Law of Attraction, then shouldn't I defend it with my life?
You know something, I'm going to admit that this may sound shocking to you. But it is my personal responsibility to declare this loud and clear:
The Movie Based on the Law of Attraction is Pop Culture Fluff!
And we have the entire industry to blame for this.
Being true to their sensational nature, they take an amazing truth and they just amplify the "sexy", less vital bits, and leave out all the rest.
As a result, the Law of Attraction brand that you get today is a really watered down version of the real thing.
Needless to say, when you use the Law of Attraction in reduced media-friendly form, you only scrape the tiniest tip of the iceberg when it comes to its immense potential.
And That Was Precisely How I Felt 40 years ago
You see, the Law of Attraction has been around a long time.
100 years ago, the great Orville Wright said, "Isn't it astounding that these secrets have been preserved for all of those years just so we can discover them." He observed that these universal laws have been around since ancient times, yet people of the modern day have failed to compile them.
Then came Earl Nightingale, the father of the personal growth industry. He planted the seed for the Law of Attraction movement when he said, "We become what we think about".
That was my mantra for a long time. The Law of Attraction in its most primal form.
However, even though the good things did come. Even though I was doing well in a short period of time, I wasn't really getting .
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't ungrateful, it's just that for a technique that was so reputedly glorious, the end result wasn't really all that great.
And in the slump times—*just like some of you now*—I stumbled and fell. And no matter how much I used the Law of Attraction, I kept getting stuck in debt and wasn't moving forward victoriously in life the way I thought I deserved.
Then, I Discovered the Secret to Explode the Full Power of the Law of Attraction
Imagine: After learning what I was about to learn, you'll be able to:
- Uncover answers to the most pressing questions in your life, in the most profound way.
- Upward Bound Thinking: an efficient way of unleashing a positive whirlwind that attracts a flurry of positive coincidences. (Law of Thinking)
- Expect astonishing coincidences—by becoming a prowling lion? Cut failure rate by half with this little-known mental technique. (Law of Attraction)
- Increase your capacity to to attract larger things (Law of Compensation)
- The ultimate crisis survival secret. To escape the storm, you must grin at it. You'll be provided with a step-by-step guide.
- And much more.
I first discovered these truths in 1961…
I met up with a man called Raymond Stanford at the local coffee-house. I was nervous that day, because I had not met him before.
All that I knew was that he gave tremendous lectures about success principles that actually worked—as attested to his hundreds of students with proven results.
He hit the sore spot that I wasn't getting the results I was supposed to get. He suggested that I'll be able to change them once I start studying, once I went beyond the Law of Attraction.
That set me on a path that years later led me to Raymond Holliwell and the book Working With The Law.
After devouring it, suddenly it all made sense…
WARNING: Not All Teachings on the Law of Attraction are Created Equal
You see, there are many well-intended people in the industry, but unfortunately, they do not fully understand the Law of Attraction.
Without even realizing it, they teach you only one small part of the truth, but they make it sound like the whole truth. The unfortunate side effect of this is that when students from these teachers find little success, they turn away as disbelievers to the Law.
Were you one of them?
Please remember this point, if you get half-truths, you will only get half the benefits. Or worst, you might get NO results at all!
And that's just for starters.
If you're in good economic times, it's all fine and dandy. You might be a little disappointed, but you're able to get by.
But once times are bad like now, even getting by is now impossible. Your stocks are going down. The US government does not seem to know what they're doing. Inflation is going up.
And worst…
Your invested time, money, and even has dwindled away.
At this point, you really need something that works. You don't want any more pop culture fluff. You want a technique that will genuinely help you as opposed to hindering you.
In other words, you need a miracle. You need that magic pill that can pull you out of these hard times and recession-proof your wallet.
You want to be a cut above your peers and rise up in your career as opposed to fearing for your job.
You want salvation.
And here's the good news—and I've never been more serious than right now.
You need the Law of Attraction more than ever.
However, here's the hidden part of the equation.
After studying Holliwell's book, I realized—to my utter surprise—that there are actually an additional 11 other Laws.
Things like the Law of Forgiveness… Which contains a mental trick that transforms debt into abundance—nearly overnight.
Or the incredible Law of Increase, where you'll discover the secret route to tap into higher consciousness and pinpoint accurate answers for all your most pressing questions.
And then there were new breakthrough teachings of the Law of Attraction never taught before. For example, did you know could exponentially amplify your odds in successfully the things you want with a just a subtle tweak to your practice of the Law?
Simply put…
The problem wasn't that the Law of Attraction was deficient, it was because it was incomplete!
So here's my point…
You Are Just Moments Away from Discovering the 11 Forgotten Laws that Makes the Law of Attraction an Unbreakable Force…
With headlines like "How Scared Should You Be?" and "The Second Great Depression" screaming from the news-stands, I don't blame you if you do feel a tiny bit intimidated.
But what if I tell you that it doesn't matter if you have made grave financial mistakes—how the crisis seems to be affecting you a lot worse than it should… How worried you are about what the future holds… If your job or business is at stake… Or even how faithfully you tried using the Law of Attraction and yet the results seem DISMAL at best.
Here's the thing—I believe that the Law of Attraction is at less than a fraction of its immense potential for you—simply because the rest of the world did not tell you about the 11 other laws.
And what they didn't tell you has clearly affected you!
You see…
Because you don't know the other laws, you're faltering at every little challenge—instead of magically transforming every stumbling block to greater and greater success. With just a mental tweak your obstacles instantly become opportunities.
The absence of the other laws may be making it harder to break away from that dead-end job and live a recession-proof life. But now, you could be just a technique away from breaking the chains of mediocrity and becoming excellent in everything you do.
Yes, you now have the opportunity to live the abundant life you deserve.
Here's the important point…
Now… For the First Time Ever… These 11 Laws Are Yours…
Mastering these laws are the difference between getting by and getting rich. Use them to make all the money you want.
And here's the good news.
Can You Picture Attracting Every Single One of Your Innermost Desires in Just An Hour a Day. We'll Teach You All 11 Laws.
Yes. Attracting the right coincidences to get ahead is a law. Miraculously hitting the right networking events is a law. Having a full charge of enthusiasm without being hindered is a law. Lifting the curse of stress and anxiety is a law.
The secret to taking control of your volatile circumstances is just a matter of knowing and obeying the forgotten laws. Then, all the things once seemed so out of reach will now be seem as easy as tying a shoelace.
Success is made to order.
"Bob's Teachings Spurred me into Action"
"For 7 years before learning Bob's teachings, I TALKED about opening a healing center. I never actually did it until I met Bob Proctor. His teachings were what spurred me into action. Two months ago (August 1st, 2008) I opened my first Spa, just 6 months after starting Bobs program.
The spa is already profitable in month 2 (which is crazy!).
Life is better than it has ever been for me. I will forever be grateful for what Bob did for me in getting me to act on my desires. THIS IS POWERFUL!"
~ Misty Amburgy – Ocean Shore, Washington

Then by uttering the secret sentence we reveal to you, a great thing will happen. Financial survival has transformed into financial revival. You will no longer scrimp and save but be embraced by the fullest abundance of the Universe.
Or have you been cheated off business deals, exploited by your boss, or worse? Then the Law of Forgiveness is just what the doctor called for. Again, play it, close your eyes, hold your fist tightly and resist the urge to run because these principles are not easy to learn.
Once you give it a shot, you'll suddenly realize that you've encountered redemption. It's almost as if everything wrong has been totally washed away. It's a spa for the soul that flushes out all toxic emotions.

"It absolutely blew me away"
"I remember the first time I watched the movie "The Secret." It absolutely blew me away. It was in that moment that I realized that I no longer had to let my circumstances control me, I was in control of my own life and of the future I wanted to create.
As soon as I began Bob's coaching program, everything in my life accelerated. I began to live on purpose and discover my gifts. I began coaching, which soon turned into public speaking and now I teach workshops on accelerated goal achieving and I have had massive success with my network marketing company and my personal business, as well as being a published author.

The shish kebab is a dish of small cubes of meat pierced and held in place on a skewer. Using this term as a reference to the act of love adds an exotic twist (brings up images of the middle east were shishkebabs were invented) to the already blunt metaphore of the skewer penetrating the meat.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Led by three Hatters in the top five, the Stetson women's cross country team won the Embry-Riddle Asics Classic on Saturday morning. The men's squad also performed well, placing second out of four teams in competition.
Once again it was freshman Amanda Spring setting the pace for the Stetson women, taking third overall with a time of 20:03.90 on the five kilometer course. Fellow freshman Samantha Hicks wasn't far behind though. She placed fourth less than five second later, crossing the line in 20:08.46.
Sophomore Adrienne DeVita took fifth place, running a time of 20:31.55. Freshman Daniella Godenzi was next to cross the line for Stetson, recording a time of 20:58.35 to place ninth overall. The fifth finisher for the Hatters was senior Sabrina Guzsvany, placing 11th with a time of 21:08.54.
Normally only a team's top five finishers count towards the team's overall score. After tallying up the total scores of Stetson and Embry-Riddle's competing top-fives, it was a 32 to 32 tie. The rule is that the sixth finisher becomes the tie-breaker.
Stetson's freshman Clarissa Consol was the one who got it done for the Hatters on Saturday, edging out Embry-Riddle's Stephany Valesco by just over one second to take 12th place and give Stetson the victory. Console finished in 21:23.69, while Valesco recorded a time of 21:24.86.
The Stetson men place second out four teams, falling to the host Eagles by a score of 26 to 59. Senior Andrew Epifanio led the Hatters with a fourth place finish, crossing the line in 27:28.01 on the eight kilometer course.
Freshman Joe Beery was the next Hatter to finish, placing eighth overall with a time of 28:12.26. Sophomore Andrew Townes took 18th in a time of 29:51.04, while sophomore Cody Malloy crossed the line in 30:23.59 to place 22nd. Sophomore Ryan Hodgins rounded out the scoring for Stetson, placing 24th with a time of 30:45.71.
The Stetson cross country teams will next compete at the FLRunners Invitational on Friday, Sept. 27 in Titusville, Fla.

Tuesday, April 2, 2013
Some of the current political and social debate I'm hearing demonstrates a total lack of consistent logic. It doesn't matter if you view my following list as right versus left, liberal versus conservative, see if you think these make logical sense:
• It's considered racist to require a picture ID from someone exercising their right to vote, but it's somehow not considered racist to require an ID and a background check of everyone exercising their right to buy a gun. Both of these are constitutional rights, but somehow the racism charge gets thrown into the debate about voting. We don't want the wrong people buying guns, and we don't want the wrong people voting. Keep the charges of racism out of it.
• It's considered okay to drug test working people at their jobs or when they apply for jobs, but it's considered discriminatory and uncaring to drug test welfare recipients. This is just another sign of the burdens our country is placing on the people who pull the wagon, while we've reached a record number of people riding in the wagon.
• It's considered okay for the Supreme Court of the United States to interfere with the vast majority of religious teachings in this country by possibly ruling that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right, but you're considered a bigot if you think the court has no business interfering with religious teachings and practices. If the high court rules this is a civil right, then what does that make every institution that doesn't recognize it? It makes them civil rights violators, so where do you think this is headed? Where is the separation of church and state in that?
• It's okay for the president and his family to spend roughly $20 million in taxpayer funding going on vacations since Christmas, and for the vice president to average a vacation a month, including coming to the South Carolina Lowcountry, but those of us who pay the taxes that make those luxurious trips possible are told we must grin and bare it and "share the sacrifices." Everyone I know has cut back on vacations and luxurious living in these tough economic times, so who's not sharing the sacrifices here?
• It's doable for South Carolina to find half a billion dollars to build two more bridges and a highway (that cannot even be designated as an interstate) to John's Island, but it's not doable to find the money to upgrade and repair I-26, which is the economic lifeblood of our tourism and port business. Business and political leaders have for years been decrying the status of our state's existing roads and bridges, but now we're about to build a brand new one that seems to have been forced politically upon the people of John's Island.
• It's okay to crowd downtown Charleston with thousands of tourists for Spoleto, Southeastern Wildlife Exhibition, Wine + Food and countless events at the soon-to-be-renovated Gaillard Auditorium, but it's not okay to crowd downtown with tourists who are boarding cruise ships. This "snobs versus jobs" debate is a wrongheaded idea for a port city that probably wouldn't even be here were it not for ships, the sea and the people who use those ships.
• It's okay for anti-second amendment right's glitterati like Jim Carrey and Rosie O'Donnell to enjoy the benefits of being protected by their armed body guards, but people like them ridicule any average American who wants to own firearms in order to enjoy the same protection. Carrey is trying to pass off his recent video as a an attempt at comedy, but most of America isn't buying it.

Article — From the September 1879 issue
Flor Arely Sánchez had been in bed with a fever and pains throughout her body for three days when a July thunderstorm broke over the mountainside. She got nervous when bolts of light flashed in the sky. Lightning strikes the San Julián region of western El Salvador several times a year, and her neighbors fear storms more than they fear the march of diseases — first dengue, then chikungunya, now Zika. Flor worried about a lot of things, since she was pregnant.
Late in the afternoon, when the pains had somewhat eased, Flor thought she might go to a dammed-up bit of the river near her house to bathe. She is thirty-five and has lived in the same place all her life, where wrinkled hills are planted with corn, beans, and fruit trees. She took a towel and soap and walked out into the rain. Halfway to the river, the pains returned and overcame her. The next thing Flor remembers, she was in a room she didn't recognize, unable to move. As she soon discovered, she was in a hospital, her ankle cuffed to the bed, and she was being investigated for abortion.

- Description
Shanghai, one of the most populous cities in the world, has never been pictured in such enormous detail. Let the world experience this fast growing city and understand China is always my dream. Through my telephoto lens, I wish you, the viewer, can blend into the daily life in Shanghai and enjoy your virtual visit.
Before being introduced to Gigapan, I used manual panorama head (Manfrotto 303SPH) and fisheye lens to take spherical panorama and build virtual tours for my clients. In late 2009, I learned about the Dresden 26 Gigapixel image (www.dresden-26-gigapixels.com/dresden26GP ) created by the world renowned German photographer, Holger Schulze. It was then the world largest image. This compelling image absolutely fascinated me. Until today, I still think the Dresden image is one of the most important milestones in man's pursuing of the world largest photograph. A few months later, a new world record was released; it further intrigued me, I decided to give it a try myself.
In March 2010, the first batch of Gigapan EPIC Pro was still on pre-order. Without any hesitation, I boldly placed a pre-order and received this precisely engineered yet inexpensive device in early April. Other necessary equipments were also ordered, by mid-April, all the hardware was ready.
To build the world largest image is not a trivial project; there are many challenges and barriers. To name a few, the density of the camera's image sensor must be high; the optics must have long focal length yet still light enough to be maneuvered by a robotic panorama head; large amount of images must be transferred directly onto a laptop; the devices must be powered for extended hours; the photo location must have large amount of details to avoid empty pixels such as sky, water surface; the weather must be calm so that the camera is less likely to vibrate due to wind; the light condition must be consistent throughout shooting… I know this is an extremely difficult undertaking, but it is worth the effort.
My first attempt was on April 22nd, 2010, the day was partly sunny. I planned to take an image set of 9,000 pictures, but had to stop because of the change of weather condition. I ended up with a set of only 1,500 images. Spring in Shanghai is often cloudy or rainy; I have to wait for the perfect weather. The second time window appeared on April 29th, 2010. That day, I was able to complete a set of 9,000 images; however, I spent too much time to setup the equipment and didn't start shooting until 10:30am. When I was done with the image set, it was almost dark. The image set suffered significant lighting change and only the first 6,000+ images could be used. Back in April 2010, once stitched, even 6,000 images should set a world record; however, I saw the possibility of acquiring even larger image set. Finally, the third time window appeared on May 25th, 2010. Learned from the previous experience, I started very early and got everything ready by 8:00am. The shooting started at 8:30am, with an average of 2.4 seconds per image, I took 12,000 images and finished shooting before dusk. Bingo, now I have the raw data.
Acquiring the images was just the first step towards the goal, to stitch it, post-process it and display it were a long way to go. Since this was a side project, I didn't have much time to work on it. As months went by, I watched people setting new world records almost every month throughout 2010. This year is gigapixel image year. I never imagined such fierce competition. Finally, my image was completely stitched on Sept 20th, 2010. The raw stitch was a 1.24 TB image file. I wrote several tools for post-processing and finally generated the result image of 1,089,248,410,452 bytes (1.09 TB). The 1/1000 thumbnail of the un-cropped raw stitch is also on Gigapan at www.gigapan.org/gigapans/61595/ .
Post-processing and uploading took me another three months, now it is finally open to public. This is not the end of my panorama journey, it is a new start, challenging the limit is an infinite process. New records will appear in the future, it is only a matter of time.

Due to the enormous size of this panorama image, uploading onto Gigapan is also a non-trivial task. I received great help from the Gigapan team, especially Paul Heckbert, Vanessa Constanti, and Randy Sargent.
Gigapixel photography is expensive and time consuming, without the un-conditioned support from my family, this wouldn't be possible.
More Information

The creation of this panorama is intended to explore the limit of photo equipment, computer hardware, network resource and various other contributing factors that limit the size of a panorama image. This is by no means a perfect image; there are many aspects to be improved.
上海是全世界人口最多的城市之一,之前没有任何一张照片以如此多的细节来描绘这个城市。这是一张关于上海的"清明上河图"。我拍摄此图的目的是让世界来感受这个快速发展的城市,让世界来更多地了解中国。通过我的超长焦镜头,我希望您作为一个访客,能够融入到上海的都市生活中,来体验一个普通上海人的一天。 我作为一名久居海外的华人,仅以此图献给我的故乡-上海。
在接触Gigapan之前,我使用Manfrotto 303SPH手动云台和鱼眼镜头来拍摄球形全景并且为我的客户制作虚拟旅游图。2009年末,一个偶然的机会,当我在浏览网站时,我看到了由德国著名摄影师Holger Schulze拍摄的26G像素的德莱斯顿(Dresden)全景 (www.dresden-26-gigapixels.com/dresden26GP)。 当时这是世界上最大的图片。这幅震撼人心的图片让我很久不能平静下来。直到现在,尽管很多摄影师已经突破了26G像素的图片,我仍然认为这是具有里程碑意义的重要图片之一。 几个月后,又有新的世界纪录问世。 自此,我决定,我要为中国也做一幅这样的图片,希望能为中国人争一口气,在国际竞争中占一席之地。
2010年3月, Gigapan EPIC Pro云台还没有正式上市,在没有看到和试用过这个设备的时候,我毫不犹豫地预定了一台。四月上旬,第一批EPIC Pro上市了,我得到了其中的一台。这是一部非常精密的摄影设备,我爱不释手。在四月中旬我回上海出差之前,全部设备都准备就绪了。
想要创造新的世界纪录并不是一件容易的事情,有很多的限制因素。这包括,相机必须有最高的像素密度;所使用的镜头必须是在云台承载范围内焦距最长的;图片必须直接存储到计算机上;拍摄现场必须有办法为设备长时间供电;拍摄场景必须有丰富的画面,要避免大量天空或水面的空白像素;天气必须平静,这样才不会有风带来的震动;光线条件必须在整个拍摄过程中保持稳定… 尽管有很多的困难,我觉得这是值得去挑战的事情。
可以说,拍摄还只是万里长征的第一步,拼接、后期处理、和显示还有很多困难。由于是一个附属项目,我的时间投入很有限,所以进展很慢。而与此同时,2010年,超大图 的世界纪录在不断地被打破,几乎每个月都有新的记录诞生,我只好望洋兴叹。好在我的图片还足够多,但是时不待我。我完全没有想象到竞争会如此激烈。9月20日,图片终于拼完了。未经后处理的图片是一个1.24 TB的文件。我写了一些工具软件进行后期处理,最终图片为1.09 TB。未经后处理的图片的 1/1000缩略图的网址是http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/61595/ 。

Thanks for the effort! we all love it!
Looks very good at low zoom, but last 2 levels of zoom are almost useless... I wonder if it's the lens that does not have enough resolution or too much processing of images? Either way smallest discernible pixels look like they are at 3 levels from maximum zoom. On smaller Panos they are usually 1 level from max zoom.

Alfred, I just want you to know that I show this image to people everyday on my iPhone, and I get gasps everytime I zoom in on the car's license plates and read the brand of AC units in the apartments. People love it! That's the bottom line. Congrats and thank you for the great work and great sales tool for my own imagery. Cheers!
很想知道您在处理这张照片时的电脑配置 谢谢
Hi, this is an enormous achievement as such. my question is: what's the ambition to go further and further in the number of images, since we obvious hit limits due to the available time to consider it being ONE session on location. My understanding is: this will lead to either much faster image capture requirements OR to a new idea: instead of doing everything to get the light conditions homogenous during a session - why not allowing it to change radically and thus show in ONE stitched image the lapse of time and changes in light conditions. This could be also done using individual images stitched later on like in time-lapse. The new firmware if EpicPro supports this and I'm looking forward finding first examples. Briefly: discovering the opportunities provided by EpicPro and the tools is still in progress - we can all still discover something new here. Kind regards Thomas
Great accomplishment. One thing I have been struggling with is getting good image quality when using either a 400mm with 2x extender or a 200 mm with a 2x extender. Because many panoramas need an extended DOF I've had to stop down to f32 or even f45 to get all the foreground and background sharp. Because of this I've had to use a slower shutter speed and high ISO resulting in poor image quality. I shoot with the 7D BTW. What settings did you use for these shots? Also I have considered shooting left to right and pausing to adjust focus as the rows move down. Have you tried this at all? Once again great work!
chtseng, You really need to brush up your geometry. The overlap region is still in the picture, they are not simply gone. Therefore, the way you calculate the image size is completely wrong. People will be laughing at your post.
hi Alfred sorry, I think the correct arithmetic should be: 12000 * 18M * 0.25 = 54G pixels because there are 4 regions (top, bottom, left & right areas) need to be overlapped. Which means, 1 photo only contribute 1/4 area for the panorama if overlap ratio is 0.25.
chtseng, Don't take it as an offense, you will need to catch up some basic geometry. Based on your model, the number should be 12000 * 18M * (1 - 0.25) * (1 - 0.25) = 121.5 G pixels. A more accurate estimation is 112G pixels. The discussion in this thread is about should people alter experiment data or not. Different model may yield different estimation, therefore, estimation should not be used to manipulate output. Anyway, I had enough discussion with a lot of people already. BTW, gigapan uploader does not have problem reporting the uploaded pixels. This is a known fact.
hi I think that GigaPan uploader has error on calculating the pixels for images stitched by autoPano Giga software. if photo's overlap ratio is 25%, then actually only 1/4 center area is used ( deduct top, bottom, left & right , each has 25% overlap). 12000 photos x 18000000 pixels x 25% is 54000000000 pixels, about only 54 Gigapixels.
So engrossing! I wouldn't want to visit a city again without first exploring a Gigapan.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Stetson women's basketball team closed out its most successful season in school history Saturday, falling 66-49 to 11th-ranked UCLA in the First Round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament at St. John Arena.
In her final collegiate game, Victoria McGowan led the the Hatters (24-9) with 14 points and a career-high 14 rebounds. She moved into second all-time in school history in scoring, finishing her three-year career with 1532 points scored.
"Victoria's got a lot of heart," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "She's a big time player. She really carried us in the first half. She can rebound and she can score. It's amazing that the littlest person comes up with the rebound, I still don't get that, but she does."
The 14th-seeded Hatters knew coming into the game that they were going to have to knock down some outside shots to have a chance at upsetting the third-seeded Bruins. Unfortunately Stetson got off to slow start, hitting just three of their first 14 field goal attempts, and trailed 26-7 at the 10-minute mark.
"I think the first 10 minutes killed us," Bria said. "We had some shots but we didn't put them in. If you put some of those baskets in, the game is a lot closer. Overall, in the second half we played a lot better, a lot tougher. I am proud of our kids. I thought we fought. It wasn't an effort problem and it wasn't an execution problem. We just didn't make the shots."
Stetson matched UCLA point-for-point and then some over the final 30 minutes, outscoring the Bruins 32-30. Stetson made a small push right before the half, cutting a 22-point deficit down to 16 at the intermission.
The Bruins continued to use their height advantage in the second half, pounding the ball inside and extending the lead to 24 with 11:52 to play.
However, the Hatters continued to battle, cutting the deficit to 18 on a three-pointer by Jama Sharp at the 8:44 mark and then to 16 on an offensive rebound and putback by Sasha Sims with 5:37 to play.
"It is hard to stop [UCLA]," Bria said. "Our whole goal was to pack in the paint. We were going to try and make them hit outside shots. I thought our zone was very effective against them. They're also extremely hard to score against because of their size and their mobility."
Sims finished with 13 points and seven rebounds, as the Hatters only trailed the rebounding battle 47-43.
Stetson finished the season with the most wins (24) and conference wins (14) in school history, produced the longest winning streak in school history (11), won its fourth A-Sun title and played in its third NCAA Tournament.
"To be back on a national stage and to play against some of the best players in the country does a lot for our program," Bria said. "Our university is an outstanding university and it's a great place but not a lot of people have heard about us. Now, I think they're hearing about us more."

Peridot gems have a rich history dating back many centuries. It was discovered some 3500 years ago on a volcanic island off the coast of Egypt. In medieval times, peridot was often used to decorate churches, and was transported to Europe by crusaders. Over the many years since, peridot has gained so much in popularity that jewelry adorned with this gemstone is in high demand worldwide.
Created by volcanoes, peridot is treasured in Hawaii, where live volcanoes still exist to this day. Ancient Hawaiians worshipped Pele, the Goddess of the volcano. They referred to peridot gems as Pele's Tears because volcanic eruptions have caused the sands of Hawaii to be filled with these tiny, glittering stones. Thought to possess powerful magic, peridot gemstones are believed to not only bring good luck, happiness and strength to the wearer, but also drive away evil spirits.
Esthetically, the vibrant color of peridot compliments various types of gold. Its rich green coloration is enhanced by the calming effect of white gold. When combined with diamonds in a simple white gold setting, an eye-catching, yet elegant effect is created. The warm quality of the peridot is always enhanced by yellow gold. And the latest pairing of peridot with soft rose gold creates a luscious contemporary statement.
