And by 21, she was done.
"I never planned or thought that was going to be it," Kournikova tells PEOPLE as she settles into her new role as a fitness trainer on The Biggest Loser. "My back really forced me to stop. It got so bad; I couldn't tie my shoes, literally. I would be in excruciating pain. I had been doing six to eight hours [of training] every day since I was 5 years old."
At first, doctors told Kournikova that recovery from major back surgery would take three months and then extended the prognosis to six months, and then a year.
"And then I just started going through a growing up period," Kournikova says. "It was very interesting to me to stop playing and to figure out, 'Who am I without tennis?' It was very difficult and scary as hell."
Away from the pro tour, Kournikova says, "I did everything from therapy to 10-hour walks on the beach to discover, and think, and try new things." She cites her family and longtime boyfriend Enrique Iglesias as part of her "support system, who have helped me figure out who I am."
During her time off, Kournikova says she learned to appreciate her pro career, even when others were criticizing her for not winning any singles titles. "I am not a robot," she says. "I have feelings, but I know that I did my best. I am very proud of what I have achieved."
Although she never made a formal announcement that she was retiring, Kournikova admits that her life was following a different path. In 2004, she started volunteering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the USO.
"I loved getting involved in charity work and I felt like that's what my name is good for and that's what I wanted to channel it into," she says. "They showed me a reason to be and to be happy."
Trae Patton / NBC
Kournikova made the transition from volunteer and spokesperson to active trainer when she studied in Miami for her full-time fitness certification, which she ultimately received from the ISSA.
"I am so proud," Kournikova says of her new career. "The last time I felt like this, I was in Iraq and Afghanistan, Russia and Haiti on my charity trips, and then before that it was on the court! I am not doing this just to be on TV. At all. I am able to help and influence people's health and well-being. That is an amazing feeling."
The Biggest Loser airs Tuesdays on NBC at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Twice now, Belgium has relied on a late revival boosted by stamina and its bench to turn desperate situations around at the World Cup.
Yesterday, it was teenager Divock Origi who turned a listless Belgian performance into a late 1-0 win over Russia, enough to qualify for the next round.
Belgium barely contained a reinvigorated Russia for most of the match, yet struck with a blistering late spurt of class and opportunism to turn a bad situation into a wild, fist-pumping celebration for coach Marc Wilmots and his team in the 88th minute.
"Why were we good in last 10 minutes? Simple, the others were tired," said Wilmots. "The Russians were so tired they looked at their feet, and it offered us chances to counter."
After its dour 1-1 draw with South Korea, Russia produced the kind of sparkle and dominance that most had been expecting.
Algeria 4, South Korea 2
PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil — First half strikes by Islam Slimani and Rafik Halliche helped Algeria to beat South Korea 4-2 and become the first African team to score four goals in a World Cup match.
Algeria led 3-0 at halftime, but withstood a stronger South Korean second half performance to claim its first World Cup win since 1982.

Bar-fed VMC makes sense for production machining of complex parts.
Click Image to Enlarge
With a bar fed mill-turn machine, virtually any shape that fits in the circumference of the barstock can be machined on all five sides. A pick-off spindle allows machining of the sixth side.
As shown in these photos, milling and turning can be performed. Workholding is simplified by use of a collet or collet chuck. No special fixturing is required.
In an effort to expand capability, many shops have successfully mastered the use of VMC equipment for five- and six-sided machining, often integrating custom tooling and fixturing to run special parts or challenging workpieces, as well as blanks that need a lot of manipulation. The results have been good, but the cost of part handling, fixturing and multiple setups can still cause the loss of jobs because of price.
usually a short feeder, and eliminate the machine table all together. In its place is a spindle/manipulator that receives the in-fed bar in the work zone.
How it Gets Done
VMCs as Volume Producers
What it Means in Practice
What's Available
true mill-turn center for six-sided machining of con-tinuous feed barstock are not only the cost of the mach-ine, but also the overall cost-per-part, the finish time per part, the reductions in machines and personnel expense to be realized, the variety of materials and part numbers of similar dimension to be made, energy costs, quantities to be scheduled and those often hidden, but real secondary expenses of materials handling logistics. With larger or more expensive parts, and materials that are costly or more delicate in surface integrity, these extra costs must be factored into the equation.

It's not often you can milk a cow, decorate a pumpkin and learn about hunter safety all in the same day.
Visitors of all ages can take part in these activities and more, while learning about the importance of agriculture, at this year's Farm Discovery Tour.
The second Farm Discovery Tour of Morrisons Cove is a free event showcasing local farms and their products on Sept. 17 and 18. Eight farms are participating, each with special events for the family.
Article Photos
Friends Farm near Williamsburg, owned by John Fazinger and Christine Wise, will be one of the stops of this year's Farm Discovery Tour of Morrisons Cove. Wise feeds goats and a calf at their farm.
John Fazinger frames up a new greenhouse at the Friends Farm.
Participating are Friends Farm, Mill Hill Farm, Clover Creek Cheese Cellar, The Idiehl Hunt and Royer Mansion, all in Williamsburg; Piney Creek Greenhouse and Spring Farm Greenhouse, both in Martinsburg; and JB Tree Farm in Alexandria.
The event is the brainchild of Christine Wise, who owns Friends Farm with her husband, John Fazinger. Wise devised the tour with the help of her daughter Rita Biddle after seeing a 15-farm tour in Frederick, Md.
"We started talking to local farmers, and we decided to put together a tour just in the valley. Last year we had 11 participating farms; this year we have eight," Wise said.
JB Tree Farm's opening weekend coincides with the Farm Discovery Tour. Evelyn Bookhammer, who owns the farm with her husband, Curt, said visiting families can decorate pumpkins and visit the 2010 Education in the Arts maze.
"We'll show them [visitors] how we design and lay out a corn maze. A lot of people are curious about how we design the maze and how we accomplish the finished product. It's very interesting," she said.
Bookhammer added that the tour is a good way for people to learn about the agricultural experience.
"Last year, it was moderately well attended, and people came that may not usually have visited, so I'd call it successful in that light," she said.
Those who stop at the farm will be able to take a hayride and visit the harvest playground.
Another stop on the tour will be Royer Mansion. Patty Hatch of Williamsburg, a member of the Friends of Royer committee, said the mansion represents the historical aspect of farming.
"A lot of people do not know that the iron industry needed farmers to feed their families and employees. Springfield Furnace was a plantation, meaning it was self-sufficient. It had everything available the workers needed - store, farms, grist mill (for flour), post office, etc," Hatch said.
Visitors to the mansion will see the Four-Square Garden, a replica of the Pennsylvania German garden that was at Royer years ago. There will also be tours and an exhibit of old photos.
"Friends Farm is close to Royer Mansion, so we try to help each other out by sending visitors to each other," Hatch said
At Friends Farm, those attending can see firsthand how food is grown. Guests can dig potatoes, learn from cooking demonstrations and visit the farm animals.
"I know that over the course of two days last year, at Friends Farm we had 250 to 300 people visit our farm, and several young families now bring their young kids just to visit the farm and the animals," Wise said.
Friends' farm market also has fresh produce along with jam, jelly, granola and biscotti for sale.
"People do not have a place to get connected to farms and these days are so far removed from farms," Wise said. "One percent of the population is farmers, and 99 percent of the people are not farmers."
Hatch said that the tour gives visitors an "up close" look at the agricultural business and the farmers an opportunity to teach about the "long, hard hours" they put in to create fresh products.
"I hope people take away that this is a beautiful farming community and a beautiful farming county and if people would support local farms in every way, hopefully these farms can remain here," Wise said.
Summary packets with maps and contact information will be available at all tour locations both days.
Information is also on the Farm Tour's website, members.localnet.com/~buyfresh/farmtour/index.htm.

Barbican's beer is halal, says National Fatwa Council
Source: The Malaysia Insider
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — The National Fatwa Council has ruled that Barbican's non-alcoholic beer is consumable for Muslims.
The council was of the opinion the drink was not processed to make it alcoholic, and the low alcohol content in it was incidental and not intoxicating, according to Bernama Online.
National Fatwa Council chairman, Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Abdul Shukor Husin, told a news conference yesterday therefore it was line with previous discussions in 1984, 1987, 1988 and 2010.
The council's last discussion — held between June 16 and June 18 — mulled over alcohol content in food, drinks and medicines.
Abdul Shukor however advised the brewer to better label the product so that Muslims are not confused.
He was at Al-Muqarrabin Mosque in Bandar Tasek Selatan to attend the launch of the national-level Ihya' Ramadan programme by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom.

Care, civility fractured in New York subway tragedy
When New Yorkers woke up on Dec. 11, they were greeted by a shocking photo on the cover of the New York Post.
New York resident Ki-Suk Han, 58, had been pushed on to the tracks of the subway and was shown just seconds before he was killed by an oncoming train. The photo was captioned "Doomed!"
While such sensationalism may be business as usual for tabloid papers, it signals to us a disturbing decline in our culture's sense of care and civility. It also raises some pressing ethical concerns about our duty to care for our neighbors and the parallel duty not to exploit the tragedy of others.
The actions of Naeem Davis -- now criminally charged with pushing Han onto the subway tracks and into harm's way -- have received much less media attention in part because society has legal mechanisms to deal with such behaviors.
The pressing ethical questions involve the photographer and his choices. R. Umar Abbasi, a freelance photojournalist for the Post, found himself a witness to Han's desperate situation. As human beings, we can identify with the shock and confusion Abbasi must have faced. But in snapping the now infamous picture, Abbasi made ethical choices that had a domino effect. In effect, he chose to record the moments of this man's death rather than to assist him and, perhaps, avert the tragedy.
The cynical exploitation of both tragedy and image by the Post only deepens this concern. The Post's decision to publish the photograph was reached deliberately, far from the chaos of those tragic moments. Here we see some real moments of ethical deliberation. For Abbasi: Should I share these pictures with my employers? For the editors at the Post: Can we use these pictures without disrespecting Han and his tragedy? The spirit of care and civility suggest a clear answer to both these questions: a resounding "no."
Our civility toward and care for our fellow human beings is a vital social bond. It can reassure us that no matter how dire the situation, we can still depend on others for help and support. Indeed, we are reassured by the selfless actions of the doctor who sprang into action on that subway platform to care for the dying Han. But as this tragic incident reminds us, care is a fragile bond that is easily damaged and difficult to repair once fractured.
Acting in the spirit of care and civility requires that we think and act deliberately and mindfully. The hallmarks of ethical decision-making include an intentional choosing to do what is right, deliberating carefully on the consequences, identifying the flourishing of oneself and others, protecting poor and vulnerable populations and seeking justice.
We can imagine that Abbasi did not have time for such complex ethical calculations. Indeed, many have argued that Abbasi did not have an ethical duty to offer assistance to a helpless man. His superiors, though, could have made time for such ethical deliberations.
Even tabloid papers like the New York Post have ethical obligations. And the failure of these institutions to accept such obligations only hastens the decline of care and civility in our society.
Care and civility are precious social resources. They can erode. Each time we act protectively, with care and respect toward our neighbors, we gradually replenish these resources and ensure they are there for the future -- when we ourselves may need to rely on them.

whats a good Western snowboarding college?
im currently a freshman at the University of Connecticut and miss being able to board all the time so I've made the decision to throw the icy mounds of the East behind me and move out West to school. Basically i'm just lookin for a nice place close to good mountains with just a chill lifestlyle..I don't need that whole bonehead drunks tipping cars over scene that is so popular here. Just a good place to chill out, toke a little, and board some nice powder runs and parks you know? any suggestions would be great...im looking at the University of Utah right now cuz it seems like its the closest to the most prime resort areas but i could be mislead.....
Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff is just minutes from Snowbowl Arizona Snowbowl - Flagstaff's ski area is a great place to escape the summer heat and a few hours from Sunrise Resort. Plus the Colorado resorts are not too far. When I went to ASU I would hit snowbowl or sunrise on weekends and it was a really fun time. You could literally be hanging at the pool in Phoenix and drive 2 hours and be in 6 feet of snow lol. I never hear much about the mountain but the boarding was always really good and reminded of the Colorado resorts. This was in the 90s so not sure how the snow has been lately but Flagstaff is a cool town.
UNR, university of neveda reno, is within an hour and a half of all the resorts in the sierra nevada ( about 6)
and is only 15 minutes from mnt rose
University of Sierra Nevada at Tahoe. 1 resort within a mile, something like 10 resorts within 45 minutes.
The point is: there are plenty of places ( Universities close to resorts) that would be a better place live off season than Reno.
Or theres Mount Hood Community College or Portland Community College...uhm theres satellite campuses for Oregon State and OIT(Oregon Institute of Technology) in the Portland area as well. All within an hour and a half of Timberline and our other 2 ski spots on Mt Hood during the winter season, Mt Hood Meadows and SkiBowl(largest night skiing in the US i think).
Come up to Canada to go to university. Your money is worth more here we have good schools and tons of great mountains
Anyone here attend or did attend Lake Tahoe Community College or Mount Hood Community College?

|The Pirates turned their Miller Park experience all the way around; from consistent defeat to daily victory. After losing nine straight here, not to mention 64 of 81 over the last 10 seasons, the Bucs swept a four-game series, finishing the job with a 3-1 victory on Sunday. In the process, they moved to one-half game back of the Cardinals for the second National League Wild Card berth.

|Ordinarily, a three-game winning streak for the Pittsburgh Pirates at Miller Park would be cause for unrestrained rejoicing. The Pirates on Saturday night won their third straight at Miller Park; a 9-6 victory over the Brewers that included a comeback from a four-run deficit. But another development made this a less than ecstatic evening for the Bucs. After the game, Pirates executive vice president and general manager Neal Huntington said that No. 1 starter Gerrit Cole will miss at least one start, as he gets further tests on his right elbow.

Drew Brees picked the wrong two weeks to have two of his worst games with the New Orleans Saints. And for those who can read between the lines, yes, using the word picks was definitely a pun intended. His seven interceptions over the past two weeks may have cost the Saints any chance of reaching the NFL Playoffs this season.
The five yesterday in a crushing loss to the Atlanta Falcons appear to have doomed the Saints with just four games remaining in the 2012 regular season. New Orleans is now out of the NFC South race, and they do not look all that much stronger in hoping to secure one of the two wild card playoff berths.

- - Am I way off base here or what? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/off-topic-general-discussion/50136-am-i-way-off-base-here.html)
Am I way off base here or what?
I don't want to sound ungrateful, even though I'm sure it does.
Does this sound cheap to you?
A buddy & I sold our local mtn over a 100 seasons passes, they wouldn't tell us exactly how many. I'm going to find out though.
They did say the amount of $$$ we made them & it was $75 thousand & change.
We sold more than any other group.
Just found out that I get the Silver pass, don't get me wrong I'm so fuckin' stoked for this season. I got 2 new decks a pass & they're getting an Air-bag.
I just kinda thought I'd be getting a Gold pass. It's not like it costs them any extra $$ to hit me with a gold one.
On top of that we made them $75k, that is a lot of fuckin' dough.
Seems a little fuckin' cheap to me?:dunno: What do ya think?
Doesn't really matter, it's shapin' up to be the best year ever.:thumbsup:
Just left with a bitter taste in my mouth.
1. You are always off base. Its part of your repulsive charm.
2. Maybe we don't know the difference between a gold and silver pass at your local mountain.
3. I don't even know why u ask at this point, you know we like to see you in pain. :D
But seriously, doesn't that seem cheap? Even by your standards:dunno:
1.Are you hittin' on me, ya big homo?;)
2.A gold pass is all the time, no exclusions & a silver is not. :(
3.I don't feel pain anymore, I decided a few years ago that I wasn't to keen on pain. So I gave it up, cold turkey.
:thumbsdown::dunno::laugh::rolleyes::cool::eek: :mad::cheeky4::confused:
That's a weak reply, where's the fun in that?:dunno:
Or are you just all hot & bothered now?;):rolleyes:
Hugs & kisses
depends on who bought the season passes, if you guys just sold season passes to people who buy season passes anyways and the resort knows this then maybe silver in their eyes was more than enough. If you sold to people who would not have normally bought one then maybe a gold pass is in order. 75k is like 750 a pass? How much is the silver worth vs the gold?
If you're selling $75k worth of passes, they should be paying you fucking commission. No way I'm doing that type of work if I'm not getting paid - and I don't mean a lousy free pass either.
why were you selling 75,000 worth of season passes for them anyway?
If you and your buddy sold the most passes regardless if they were previous pass holders, yes you should have gotten Gold.
It saved them time and HR resources that they were then allocated to other duties or didn't even have to pay employees at all saving even more money.
you got shafted again my friend....

GW Edges Virginia Tech 63-62 in BB&T Classic
Carl Elliott hits game-winning free throws in final seconds.
Dec. 3, 2006
WASHINGTON, DC (AP) - Carl Elliott hit two free throws with 7 seconds left to give George Washington a 63-62 victory over Virginia Tech Sunday.
Elliott was driving the lane when Virginia Tech's Jamon Gordon was called for reaching in, giving Elliott a one-and-one. He calmly nailed both shots to give the Colonials (5-1) the lead.
The Hokies (4-3) had a chance to win it with 1.7 seconds left, but A.D. Vassallo couldn't get off a clean shot under the basket, and his shot bounced off the bottom of the backboard as time ran out.
Virginia Tech had been leading 62-61 with control of the ball and less than 20 seconds left, but senior Coleman Collins missed a slam dunk after receiving a nice pass from Gordon that would have given the Hokies a three-point lead.
The Colonials trailed 38-29 at halftime, but went on a 13-0 run to start the second half. After that, neither team led by more than four in a game that saw 11 ties and 12 lead changes.
Elliott, who played all 40 minutes, led the Colonials with 16 points, including 8 of 10 from the free-throw line. Rob Diggs had 13 and Regis Koundjia had 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds.
The Colonials shot 57 percent from the field, compared to 48 percent for the Hokies, who made only four of 16 3-pointers.
Vassallo led the Hokies with 16 points off the bench, and Gordon added 12.

Collaboration will generate assays and mAbs for use by Sigma-Aldrich clients.[Daniel Tackley-Fotolia.com]
Sigma-Aldrich and drug discovery services CRO Domainex are pooling their expertise to develop tools for use in the study of proteins involved in epigenetic pathways. Domainex will use its Combinatorial Domain Hunting (CDH) technology to produce soluble domains of a number of key epigenetic proteins.
The firm will use these proteins to construct biochemical assays for the target enzymes, and Sigma-Aldrich will use the proteins as antigens to raise specific monoclonal antibodies. The firm will then distribute the assays and monoclonals to researchers for use in identifying target proteins and studying their function. The collaboration will receive funding from the U.K. government's Technology Strategy Board.
Domainex CDH technology enables the identification of key segments of a target gene that are functional and can be expressed in a stable and soluble manner in E. coli or Baculovirus. The firm claims the technology allows researchers to determine the crystal structures of key binding domains, enable binding or activity assays to be established, and facilitate drug discovery programs.
Domainex also offers client services based on its medicinal chemistry expertise and its LeadBuilder™ lead-generation platform. The firm separately aims to build a pipeline of small molecule drugs targeting enzymes that utilize nucleotide triphosphates (NTPs) as substrates or co-factors. It claims many known NTP-dependent enzymes represent well-validated therapeutic targets but have proved inaccessible using conventional protein-expression methods.

Canyon Park Highlands Festival of Lights
Bothell's most decorated neighborhood invites everyone to drive through and catch the spirit of the season with dozens and dozens of brightly decorated homes. Santa will greet everyone at the entrance, where Boy Scouts from Troop 356 will collect non-perishable food and cash donations for the Northshore Food Bank. In the past, hundreds of dollars and over a thousand pounds of food were delivered to the Northshore Service Center by the scouts the next day. Carolers from Bothell High School will also be roaming the development, spreading holiday cheer. The Canyon Park Highlands is located at the intersection of 237th Place S.E. and 19th Drive S.E., just across from Canyon Park Junior High School, in Bothell.

Louis Kahn was considered a pretty good modern architect in 1945 when Anne Griswold Tyng went to work in his office, then located in the Evening Bulletin building across from Philadelphia's City Hall. By the time they parted company two decades later, Kahn was revered for liberating architecture from its Bauhaus straitjacket and Tyng was known, if she was known at all, as his mistress.
Had they embarked on their storied collaboration today, one imagines Tyng sharing the credit for their breakthrough work, especially the Yale Art Gallery and the Trenton Bath House. They would call their firm something like Kahn & Tyng. And Tyng would surely merit more than the few throwaway lines she gets in today's rapidly expanding library of Kahn books.

AdMonitor reports rise in third quarter
The Russian advertising market shrank 30% from 184 billion rubles ($6.3 billion) to $4.3 billion in the first nine months of the year vs. the same period in 2008.
The TV advertising sector fell from $3.2 billion to $2.5 billion, according to ad agency Video Intl., but has recently shown signs of a return to growth.
Last week the AdMonitor agency reported that TV advertising for the third quarter was up 13.4% year on year, with 130,500 minutes of advertising.
Video Intl. and Gazprom Media, Russia's two largest TV advertising agencies, are putting prices on hold for 2010. Both slightly reduced their prices this year to woo advertisers.
Analysts expect the overall ad market in the first half of 2010 to be worth much the same as this year — around $1.5 billion.

Al Moran
From BR Bullpen
Richard Alan Moran
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 1½", Weight 190 lb.
- Debut April 9, 1963
- Final Game May 9, 1964
- Born December 5, 1938 in Detroit, MI USA
[edit] Biographical Information
Al Moran made his big league debut on April 9, 1963 at the age of 24 for the New York Mets against the St. Louis Cardinals. Facing pitcher Ernie Broglio, Moran went 0 for 3 in his debut. The rest of the team didn't fare much better in that game - Broglio held them to two hits, collecting the shutout.
Overall in his rookie season, Moran collected 64 hits in 331 at-bats for a .193 batting average. The team as a whole hit only .219 that year, so his average wasn't too far below the team average.
He played his final big league game on May 10, 1964 against none other than the St. Louis Cardinals.

Was just wondering how often 747 pilots etc. hand fly visual approaches. I'm not a real pilot (maybe one day I hope!) but like flying Microsoft Flight Simulator (apologies if this is not exactly the right forum) and have recently been flying long haul. However, recently arrived at an airport where the Ils was not working so decided to fly visual final approach. Because I was so used to the autopilot (esp. with the bigger a/c) the approach was definitely not great. However what I was thinking was mainly:
1 - Hand flying a visual approach and becoming out of line/having to try for another feels pretty expensive when my (virtual) plane is using like 10tons of fuel/hour! This was making me always opt for the ILS/autopilot to minimums. However,
2 - This reduced time to keep up proficiency in hand flying visual final etc. so makes the chances of getting out of line etc. more likely when I finally opted (had no alternative) to fly visual/manual.
Was just wondering how this situation might be in the real world. Do pilots ever think of price when opting to hand fly etc. or is the proficiency level generally just much higher with the experience needed to fly large planes. Ideally I'm thinking when in the air safety should always be first so money should never be an issue but how much hand flying practice is allowed and during what parts of flight mainly.
Many thanks for any info (and apologies if this is not exactly the right forum for the question),

This character cannot be used whatsoever unless given explicit permission from the owner.
Hooly is a character that first appeared in Worlds of Creation, although, he does not actually show himself. He owns three pieces of land, Hooly Land, Hooly's Private Island, and Hoolyworld. He is probably richer than Bill Gates, but it didn't start that way over night.
He appeared in all of the of the Doodleland Wars, the fourth one being his least important role as a cameo. He appears in the first one as Dan's rival, however when they meet Hooly's main enemy, Devel, they team up to kill him. He appears at the end of the second one, telling Zak and and the rest of the party that they must give him four million dollars to repair Hoolyland. In the third one, he is attacked by animal verisons of him, and briefly becames Darth Hooly. In Doodleland Wars 4, he makes a cameo in the mall and a spaceship that looks like him appears outside the airport. In the final Doodleland Wars, Hooly attempts to sue a TV host, and comes in contact with Phil's ghost. He later helps everybody get to their bodies that were stolen by Devel.
He also appeared in Fantendo Epic Dodgeball, and is on Team Phoniex.
His theme is Walking On A Dream (Pogo edit), which can be heard here.
He has a evil doppleganger named Hardy. Don't get them confused though...
As a child, he robbed banks with his friends. After getting enough money, he bought a mind control helmet to control his friends. After putting all the money in the bank, it tripled in size, making him extremely rich. However, one of his friends, Devel, found out. Devel attempted to blackmail Hooly, but in a tragic accident involving a jar of Miracle Whip and a car, he lost all of his memories about Hooly's hypnotism, but lost all of his limbs as well. He vowed revenge against Hooly, and it has been that way ever since.
He has no role other being an aristocrat in society, and is happy about that.
He secertly does charity work at children hospitals, but doesn't want anyone to know about it.
His mother and dad are a complete mystrey to him, and he claims to have never seen his dad. He claims that his mother was a white squid, not a Squisentient.
"I never really did find out about my father. I would assume he was just like me, but the world's a strange place." - Hooly, on his father in a interview.
Hooly is an blue floating squid. He has yellow tentacles and a red hat. His red hat does nothing really, and isn't strudy like a baseball cap. He is often shown with a smiling face, although he is shown being worried and mad. He is often portrayed as a perfect character with no faults, although in the Doodleland series this shown not to be the case.
Media Appearances
Worlds of Creation
He appears as a cameo appearance in the end, giving Tritan 1% of his money, which is hauled by 5 dump trucks.
Doodleland Wars
In Doodleland Wars, he fought against Dan, for having the same hat as him and invading Hoolyland. Devel begins to attack, but Dan and Hooly destroy him and his army.
Doodleland Wars 2
In Doodleland Wars 2, he appeared at the end, saying Zak and the others have to pay him four million dollars to repair the damage they caused.
Doodleland Wars 3
In Doodleland Wars 3, he is attacked by animal verisons of him, who he later traps in a building meant for fiery deaths. He later comes across Ramona, and they try to solve the problem the parasites are causing, but unleash hell instead. Later, Hooly is thrown into a vat of melting acid, and becomes Darth Hooly,which is they only time he looks like a person.
Doodleland Wars 4
In Doodleland Wars 4, he is a brief cameo character in the mall.
Doodleland Wars 5
In Doodleland Wars 5, he attempts to sue a TV show host. When he gets home, he is greeted by Phil's ghost, and tries to get the bodies of his friends that were stolen by Devel.
Little Big Doodleland 3
Despite not appearing in the last three, Hooly appears near the end at the Dark Scribble Followers meeting (he was there for the refreshments) and accidently blows Sarah and Ramona's cover, but is later saved by Melodia. He also delivers the final blow to the Dark Scribble by throwing an Hooligan at him. He is shown to be the last out, having cramps from the refreshments.
Doodleland: Another Story
He is one of the main characters, and the story will explain more about Hooly and what happened to him before Doodleland started. Of that, not much is revealed.
Fantendo Epic Dodgeball
He appears a playable character, who's powers are unknown.
Hooly save world
He appears in it as the main character.
Hooly and the Power Struggle
He appears in it as the main character.
Bearded Smiley & Mr. Chilli: The Fate of Annoyance
Hooly cameo's briefly in the trial and post-trial cutscenes and then plucks up the courage to speak to Bearded and Chilli. He will help out the player with advice after making recurring appearances in the storyline. Items can be used but now each player can use items from all series.
Stelivil's Smilonian Open
Hooly's appearance in Fate of annoyance greenlit a playable appearance in Stelivil's Smilonian Open.
Hooly's Army
Hooly's old friends are the amoung the highest ranked in Hooly's Army, however, Riflok is in charge when Hooly is not present.
Hooly's army mainly consist of Hooligans, Kirby-like men, who often carry two guns and ALWAYS wear sunglasses. No exceptions.
Cul People
Cul people are the next rank. Your duties are to rob banks and attack the enemy.
46 Whiners
The lowest rank. As a 46 Whiner, your job is to hunt for food. It is a very dangerous job, as Hooly prefers his food from the Gourmet Caves, which are extremely dangerous to venture through.
Cooks with No Book
The second lowest rank. As a Cook with No Book, you must prepare Hooly's meals without a book. Often, you can just dump some food in there, stir it, and taste it. Add a little spice if necessary.
Teh DJ
Teh DJ makes music for Hooly. He is there with him at all times, just in case Hooly wants some epic music in the background.
The Tellyman straps a TV to his back and carries it around him. It is Hooly's entertaiment on the go.
Hoolygaurds follow Hooly where ever he must go. They are much like Hooligans, except they follow Hooly.

Far Cry 3
ilikehamandhalo 4 years ago#1
Ill start with combat. Guns are bad, really bad. The enemies somehow have perfect sight and ridiculous range while you dont, the melee is painful, bows let me down so bad and really as far as weapons go, the only bright point is the C4.
Why does nothing die? I shoot a pig 5 times in the face and it just runs away. Pirates seem to be hiding some sort of armor under those rags they wear. The menus, controls and the way they deal with your weapons/crafting/bags/ect. its god awful
In all, a pretty, open island isnt enough when every inch of it is filled with god mode pigs, more cars then a dealership patrolling constantly and animals that jump out of no wear.
I tried to sneak which just isnt a viable option, I tried range which is a huge lol and I even went ahead and tried to beef up my guy and guess what, I still died almost constantly. I dont mind a hard game but this isnt a hard game, its an unplayable one.
B**** if you wave then I will surf you

So I was super hyped for this but its really a major let down.
Everything you said sounds like " i really suck at this game and can not figure out how to stay hidden."
Its gamers like you that drive developers to "dumb down" their work.
Did you try easy mode dude?

Business owners warned about scam
Everyday consumers aren't the only ones targeted by scam artists running fake foreign lotteries, sending scam emails about a so-called approved loan or making phony pitches for supposedly free trial offers.
Small business owners and corporations are now getting hit by solicitations for preparing so-called required corporate records. The fake fee is $125 or more for preparing the documents. A return envelope is often included. The paperwork looks legitimate and resembles something that might come from a state office.
It's nothing but hooey. Don't pay the fee.
"They make it very easy for someone to part with their $125," warned Barbara Dobb, a certified public accountant at Dobb & Sager CPAs in Commerce Township, Mich.
Michigan does not require businesses to file corporate records, only annual reports or annual statements, which can be done online directly to the State of Michigan, said Steve Arwood, director of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
In a written statement, Arwood warns businesses to disregard the deceptive notices. Some notices could appear to be issued by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs - Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau.
Some accountants worry that a small business owner could wrongly believe that the business might be shut down by the government if the business doesn't comply.
Dobb said her own firm even received one of the solicitations in early August. We've heard reports of church leaders and even sorority sisters getting similar forms, too. So if you received something in the mail because of some corporate affiliation, read it very, very carefully before sending any money.
Regulators say similar solicitations are hitting small business owners in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts and Texas, among others.
The concern is that a small business owner who is busy juggling many duties could be tricked into thinking that some state government agency is requiring yet another form and another fee.
One solicitation in Michigan lists a Lansing address. The woman who answered the phone said she could not answer media questions or give a company statement.
The form that I saw included "Instructions for Completing the Annual Corporate Records Form." Dig further into the form and the print does say, "Corporate Records Service is not a government agency and does not have or contract with any government agency to provide this service."
CPAs across Michigan are sending e-mail blasts to warn clients who might not read that form carefully. Sometimes the fee is $125, $150, $175 or $239 for completing and submitting those so-called annual corporate records.
Some CPAs compare this latest round of solicitations to those fake e-mail alerts from the IRS around tax season. Don't open those, either.
The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs is warning about solicitations from an entity called the "Corporate Records Service." The fake solicitation can include a form called "2013 - Annual Corporate Records Form."
One woman who runs a nursery and gardening center in Warren, Mich., called her CPA concerned about the official-looking document.
Joseph DeGennaro, tax director for Doeren Mayhew in Troy, Mich., said his client told him: "I've never paid this before in my life. What is this?"
What's unsettling is that the letters could arrive at a time, maybe in the late summer or fall, when many small business owners would not be meeting with their accountants and might send the money before questioning the fee.
"There's zero requirement to fill that out and pay that money," said Stella Moulton, CPA and tax manager for Gordon Advisors in Troy.
"Ignore it. Shred it," she said.

The creators of Sin City hotspot Tao are the masterminds behind this Italian-themed boutique restaurant/nightclub, located at the Palazzo. (There's also a New York City outpost, which opened in 2010.) Check out a view of the Strip from the terrace, have a cocktail in the lounge or dance in the nightclub alongside Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton and Fergie, who've all hit the caldissimo hotspot.

For someone who's at work before sunrise, Michael Strahan sure knows how to party!
The Live with Kelly and Michael and Good Morning America co-host burned the midnight oil on Tuesday, jamming with friends at New York City's popular LAVO nightclub.
The party, celebrating Tribeca Films's premiere of NAS: Time Is Illmatic, a documentary on the life and career of the rapper Nas, got started around 9:30 p.m.
"Strahan arrived around 10 p.m. with a male friend and two ladies in tow," a partygoer tells PEOPLE.
What happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas for LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian this weekend. The couple – in town for Rimes's three concerts at the LVH Hotel – was spotted all over Sin City, enjoying the temptations the town has to offer.
Friday afternoon, Rimes met a girlfriend for a bite at Public House at The Venetian. The singer sipped a Joseph James beer and a Maker's Mark on the rocks, and split a burrata appetizer with her pal before tucking into a spinach salad with chicken. According to a witness, she spent most of her lunch chatting on her phone.
Friday night, Rimes linked up with her husband, his sons and a group of 10 family members for dinner at LAVO. A source says the crew enjoyed a selection of signature dishes, including Kobe meatballs, and that Rimes and Cibrian were spotted "sharing a few private kisses" throughout the meal.
During her stay, Rimes also managed to indulge in a little pampering at COLOR – A Salon by Michael Boychuck inside Caesars Palace. The singer – decked out in a beaded Parker dress and Jimmy Choo heels – enjoyed a blowout and manicure while chatting with staff, and posed for a few photos with Boychuck before ducking out of the salon. – Melody Chiu, Jennifer Garcia and Mark Gray
It seems Sin City is the place to be this New Year's Eve.
Celebrities like John Legend, Guns N' Roses and members of the Kardashian family are set to ring in the New Year on the Las Vegas Strip. Across the country, Lady Gaga will kick off the countdown to midnight in New York's Times Square.
But that's only a taste of all the stars toasting the arrival of 2012. Other celebrity New Year's Eve Events include ...
Las Vegas, NV
to my to do list
Las Vegas Italian eatery Lavo was the place to be: Lauren Conrad shared dinner with her business partner and some friends while in town to launch her new fashion line. Meanwhile, Glee's Mark Salling ate at the restaurant on the same night before heading upstairs to Lavo Nightclub, where he invited revelers to his table and signed autographs. Alicia Keys's hubby Swizz Beatz was also at the club, and he had champagne delivered to his table by a bevy of waitresses.
Rihanna was solid gold in a sparkling dress while celebrating her female artist of the year award at a star-studded Billboard Music Awards bash at LAVO Las Vegas. Making her entrance near midnight, RiRi held court as industry pals and other winners congratulated her on the night, where she opened the show with a duet of her hit "S&M" with Britney Spears. Also at the bash: Mentor Jay-Z and Billboard Millennium Award honoree Beyoncé, Glee's Matthew Morrison, and Joe Jonas – who stopped by the DJ booth to get on the mic and say hello to the crowd.
Ashley Greene was dancing the night away with her Twilight costar Xavier Samuel at Lavo's grand opening in New York. The costars were literally by each other's sides all night, just laughing and hanging out. Upstairs, True Blood's Joe Manganiello dined with model-actress girlfriend Audra Marie, and the actor feasted on a special no-carb meal cooked especially for him because of his strict diet. According to an onlooker, the two "were really cute, kissing and cuddling the whole time."
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, enjoying dinner and dancing together at Lavo, inside the Palazzo Las Vegas. After celebrating a friend's birthday with a meal in the private dining room, the twins headed upstairs to the club, where they snagged a table on the dancefloor. "They danced non-stop with their friends and playfully took photos of each other," says an onlooker, noting that the twins stayed until after 3 a.m. "They loved the music the deejay was spinning."

Michael McCarthy
Research Associate
I've moved!
Research Interests
I am interested in creating novel forms of interaction with computers situated in the "real world" (i.e. mobile, wearable and ubiquitous computers). Unlike computer users sat at a desk, real world users are unable to devote their full attention to their personal devices (this morning I bumped into two separate people who were attempting to walk and text at the same time!). So the question is: how can we design systems with this notion of limited attention in mind?
One way of achieving this is to equip systems with tools to determine their own context. For example, sensors can be used to capture information such as location, acceleration, temperature, etc. Given data from sensors, algorithms can form assumptions about the user's current context (running, walking, in a meeting, angry, upset, at work, at home, etc.) and the system can behave appropriately. It's possible, for example, for a mobile phone to divert calls to voice-mail if it knows its user is driving (see work by Ian Anderson).
I have done a lot of work with a particular type of context, namely positioning and position sensing. During my time as a PhD student I built two different ultrasonic positioning systems for use in indoor environments. I am currently working with inertial sensors and digital pens.
Current Research
I currently work as a PostDoc with Mike Fraser on a National Centre for e-Social Science project called the Mixed Media Grid (MiMeG). We are exploring ways in which we can capture interaction between co-located social scientists as they study, annotate and examine video clips. The aim is to provide a representation of the subtle forms of local interaction between one group of scientists for another group at a remote location. We have applied the Synchronous Buzz ultrasonic positioning system to the project and are currently exploring the use of sensors for capturing interaction with a paper-based interface.
Completed January 2007
My PhD was funded by the EPSRC within an Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration (IRC) called Equator. As a member of equator, I was concerned, specifically, with the wearable and ubiquitous computing aspects of its research initiatives. During my work as a PhD student, I also participated in the Mobile Bristol Project - a collaboration between HP Labs, the Appliance Studio, and the University of Bristol Computer Science Department.
The particular focus of my thesis is positioning wearable computers using ultrasound. As part of the Bristol wearables group, my work falls into a pool of research aiming to develop technologies that make ultrasonic positioning more accessible. For us, this means tackling the various aspects of cost surrounding positioning (price, size, form factor, power consumption, configuration effort, configuration complexity, etc.) while, at the same time, improving on robustness and accuracy.
Paul Duff has developed an algorithm that automatically determines the position of transmitters within a positioning infrastructure. This autocalibration algorithm is intended to alleviate the costs involved with setting up the system. My work has looked at ways of applying Bayesian filtering techniques, such as the Kalman filter, to real-time positioning within a user centric or passive positioning system. This work is based on a system originally conceived by Cliff Randell and our supervisor, Henk Muller.
My thesis is titled The Buzz: Narrowband Ultrasonic Positioning for Wearable Computers. It details the design, implementation and evaluation of the Synchronous Buzz, an RF free positioning system published at ISWC 2003, and the Asynchronous Buzz, the concept of which was presented at LoCA 2006 (see also this tech note).

Escaped bull injures motorcyclist in Girard Township
GIRARD -- A Millcreek Township woman was injured today when an escaped bull from a nearby butcher facility lunged at the woman as she sat on a motor scooter in the 10100 block of Ridge Road in Girard Township, authorities said.
Nicole Morton, 30, suffered facial injuries and was taken to UPMC Hamot, according to her husband, Kevin Morton, 34.
The incident happened at about 3:40 p.m.
The bull and three cows were being unloaded at McDonald Meats, 10445 Ridge Road, to be butchered when they escaped, state police at Girard said.
The bull and cows were located and put down, police said.
The Mortons and another motorcyclist, Ginny Caldwell, 53, of Millcreek Township, were heading west on Ridge Road when they stopped in the roadway behind three cars that were stopped ahead of them, Kevin Morton said.
Kevin Morton said his wife, who was driving a blue and white scooter, was in the lead.
The three bikers then saw the animals a couple blocks west of their location.
The cows ran across Ridge Road to its south side, while the bull continued running east on Ridge Road in the westbound lane, Kevin Morton said.
"It looked like a calm bull at first, then suddenly it up and charged. When it got in front of my wife, it just reared up and charged her. It jumped up into her and hit her in the face.''
The impact knocked Nicole Morton off her bike, her husband said.
Nicole Morton was conscious when she was placed in an ambulance, her husband said.
All three bikers were wearing helmets.
"The bull got separated from the pack,'' Caldwell said. "He leaped up and hit her right in her face. It passed Kevin, went around his bike, and ran right into my headlight.''

The Homeland Security's Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, ICS-CERT, has issued a warning saying natural gas pipelines are under cyber attack and have been so since December 2011.
ICS-CERT, which is based in Idaho, said that several gas pipeline companies have been enduring a sustained attack on their networks by the same sources.
DHS has asked utilities to not remove any malware or patch security holes if they don't jeopardize safe operations, according to people who have seen the alerts. One said that the details of the threats and the frequency of alerts "indicated to me this was pretty serious."
DHS also said the attacks begin with spam-phishing email scams sent to gas pipeline employees and is working with the FBI to further investigate.

About Nick
Great photography. On time. On budget.
Since 1996 I've been shooting high quality corporate, marketing and editorial photography for clients ranging from small businesses to multi-national blue-chip companies, including magazines, PR agencies and design agencies.More about me
We're thinking of hiring a photographer, but we don't really know where to start.
If you're looking for some general advice about photography, either give me a call on 01786 474448 or drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm happy to help and give you as much advice as I can.
What type of photography do you undertake ?
First of all, I only undertake business-to-business commissions. I specialise in corporate portraiture, but I undertake a whole range of work for corporate clients, ranging from public relations photography to to product photography to annual reports.
Do you do weddings or family photography ?
No I don't, but I highly recommend Paul Raeburn for wedding photography, and Seppi Preston at Lighthouse Studios for family photography.
Can you come and see us ?
If you're based in the central Scotland area (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee , Stirling), drop me a line and we'll fix up a time.
Can you send over a portfolio ?
Absolutely. Drop me an email with details of the type of photography you're looking to commission, and I'll put together a bespoke portfolio and either courier it over or drop it off myself.
How do we book you ?
If you're a new client, once you have a specific date or dates in mind, give me a call or drop me an email to check my availability. I'll then provisionally pencil the job in my diary, and I'll fax or email over a booking form for you to sign and return. If you're an existing client, the booking is made as soon as I fax over the booking form (no need to sign and return).
How far in advance do we need to book you ?
The majority of my work is booked in between three and six weeks in advance, but I keep a flexible diary to accommodate clients who need to commission photography at short notice.
Which geographical areas do you cover ?
While I work throughout Scotland and northern England, the majority of my work is in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, all of which are within a 50 minute drive of my office in Stirling.
What do the different licences on the rate card mean ?
Internal use is non-customer facing use – such as intranet sites, or internal company literature. PR use is for supplying publicity images speculatively to news media and publications. Marketing (one media) is for using the images in one format, such as either a website, annual report or brochure. Marketing (all media) is for when the imagery is to be used across multiple marketing uses.
Do you shoot on film or digital ?
It depends on the specific job, but it would be almost always on digital. In 1999, every single job I shot was on film; in 2007, every job I shot was on digital. But depending on your needs, I can also shoot on 35mm or medium format film.
What is your usual turnaround ?
My normal turnaround for non-PR work is four working days – so if I were to shoot the job on the Monday, the photographs would be with you on Friday. But turnaround can in some cases be the same day or the next working day for an increase in the standard rates. Please contact me for more information.
How long will it take ?
It depends entirely on the job, and I undertake such a varied selection of work that it's difficult to put down specific times here. But drop me an email or give me a call, and I should be able to give you a firm idea.
Do you work on location or in a studio ?
Both – but it depends on the job. The vast majority of my work is either shot on the client's premises or on location.
How do you supply the finished images ?
It depends on your specific needs, but I typically supply digital images in either JPEG or TIFF format, in the Adobe RGB colour space. I will normally recommend the most appropriate format once I understand your specific requirements.
What is digital post production ?
Post production is the process by which digital files are processed and optimised for colour balance, contrast and minor retouching, to ensure the highest quality images. For most assignments, an amount of digital post production is built into the day rate, with a small extra charge for each additional file.
What about more extensive retouching ?
While digital post production covers the optimising of images and adjustment of minor flaws, I can also undertake more extensive image manipulation. This is charged in 15 minute blocks at an agreed hourly rate – contact me for more details.
When do you require payment ?
I invoice about a week or so after I've sent over the pictures and checked that you're happy. My terms are 28 days, and there is a 4% discount if you settle within 14 days.
How much do you charge ?
There are usually three elements to my invoice: fees, expenses and supply. My fee varies by three factors: – how long I will be onsite – Usage: how the photographs are to be used (eg, website or brochure ) – Turnaround: how quickly you need the photographs for. Expenses include mileage, parking, consumables (eg background paper) and other costs associated with the shoot. Finally, supply is usually on CD, supplied by special delivery.
If you're looking for an immediate price on commissioned photography, you can use my Instant Estimate calculator to get an instant and free idea of my rates right now.
We think the job will only take about an hour, less than the minimum job time on your rate card. Can you discount further ?
The ratecard times reflect the amount of time that needs to be booked out of my diary for each job
Will you match quotes from cheaper photographers ?
No. While I'm always happy to look at ways how I can shoot a commission within a budget, I am not one of those photographers who markets themselves solely on price.
I'm a photography student, and I need some background for a report or essay I'm writing. Can you help ?
As long I'm persuaded that I'm not just writing your essay for you, then yes. Drop me an email and I'll suggest a few times when you can give me a ring. (Incidentally, at the time of writing, seven of the last eight students who emailed me asking for help never phoned)
Do you take students on work experience ?
No I don't, but I'm happy to give advice or guidance if you drop me an email first.
Do you shoot model portfolios ?
Unfortunately, due to my workload, I shoot very few model portfolios any more. However, if you send me an email at email@example.com, I'll see what I can do.
My office
My office is an old cigarette factory near Stirling city centre, based centrally in Scotland and within easy reach of Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee.
For clients
For a no obligation chat about your next project or commission, give me a call on 01786 474448 or drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com - I normally reply within the hour.
For students
If you're a student looking for help with your course, then I'll be glad to help. Drop me an email at email@example.com to arrange a time to speak over the phone.
For work experience
I don't offer work experience, but I am always happy to offer advice to those thinking of entering into the industry. Drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange a time to talk.
Anything else ?
If you're looking for information regarding any of my work with other industry organisations, such as National Union of Journalists, send me an email at email@example.com and I will either help directly, or pass you onto someone else who can. There is more about my work with these and other industry bodies at my About page.

I'm a highly experienced Scotland-based editorial and corporate photographer with a background in broadsheets and the specialist business press, who now shoots for a variety of magazine and corporate clients.
My background
After graduating with a degree in English, I started freelancing full time for The Scotsman newspaper. I spent the next five years there shooting news and features, including a two-year stint on the picture desk.
I left The Scotsman in 2001 and spent the next two years freelancing for the newly established Scottish business daily Business am, where I shot business portraits almost exclusively. At the same time, I continued to build up a long list of corporate clients.
After Business am closed in December 2003, I made the decision to concentrate almost exclusively on corporate work, including brochures, websites and public relations photography, while still shooting editorial work for newspapers, magazines and contract publishers.
I have been shooting digitally since 2000, and have been shooting entirely on digital since 2007.
Industry bodies and organisations
As well as being a full time photographer, I campaign, research and represent the interests of UK photographers on a national and international level within organisations including the British Photographic Council, the National Union of Journalists, Editorial Photographers UK, the European Federation of Journalists and DACS.
I was a founding board member of the British Photographic Council, and served as its secretary until 2014.
I was a moderator and director of Editorial Photographers UK from September 2005 to September 2011, with specific responsibility for technical issues.
Within the NUJ
Since 2007 I've held various elected senior positions on the National Union of Journalists' Freelance Industrial Council, Photographers Committee, Copyright Committee and Scottish Executive Council. I was chair of the Photographers Committee between 2011 and 2013, and have been chair of the Freelance Industrial Council since 2014. In 2016 I was elected to the NUJ's National Executive Committee to represent photographers.
I was involved with the organisation of the NUJ's Stand Up For Photojournalism exhibitions, selecting and showcasing the best of the UK's contemporary photojournalism.
I represented the NUJ at the 2008 Paris photojournalism conference organised by the European Federation of Journalists, and spoke at the 2010 Authors' Rights conference in Thessonaliki, again organised by the EFJ.
Publications and talks
In 2009, I co-wrote Photojournalists: An Endangered species in Europe ? – a major EU-wide study on the future of photojournalism for the European Federation of Journalists.
I instigated and was responsible for organising the 2009, 2010 and 2015 British Photographic Council Industry Surveys, and wrote the 2010 and 2015 survey reports, analysises and conclusions. I am proud to say that the annual British Photographic Survey remains the definitive research onto the daily working lives of professional photographers.
In both 2007 and 2009 I was invited to speak at the National Union of Journalists Photographers' Conferences, where I gave talks on business issues as they affect photographers.
In 2010 I designed and taught "The Business of Freelance Photography" course for the NUJ.
In December 2010, I gave a presentation on behalf of the British Photographic Council at the European Federation of Journalists' Authors Rights in a Digital Age conference, detailing the current state of copyright law in the UK, and how it affects working photographers.
In September 2011, I spoke – successfully – in defence of copyright law at the Bradford courthouse, in the first Photography on Trial debate as part of the Ways of Looking photography festival.
Industry websites
From 2006 to 2009 I was the editor of the Editorial Photographers UK news website, responsible for the relaunch of the site, a redesign, CMS integration, and producing fresh weekly content.
I have built, designed and launched about a dozen websites related to the photography industry, including EPUK, the British Photographic Council, Stand Up for Photo Journalism and Photo Histories with my colleague Graham Harrison.
From 2005 to 2011, I wrote a weekly email bulletin on current issues in the UK photography sector, and which currently has a readership of just under 2,700 industry professionals. In 2011 I worked on a redesign, integrating it with social media.
And when I'm not working…
I met my beautiful wife Mary while at university, and we live in a small Perthshire village with our cats and our three sons; Jake, Sam and Harry.
Looking for a photographer in Scotland ?
Then you're in the right place. Centrally based in Stirling, I cover the whole of Scotland shooting high quality corporate, editorial, marketing and events photography for clients ranging from small businesses to some of the world's biggest brands.
