/// Meet Vice Media Boss Shane Smith, Rupert Murdoch's "Wild" New Pal
Move over, David Karp — you're not the only Williamsburg dude with a billion-dollar new-media company anymore . A new investment from Rupert Murdoch values Shane Smith's Vice Media, the edgy-but-not- too -edgy media conglomerate, at $1.4 billion. As the Financial Times reported yesterday, Murdoch's 21st Century Fox now owns a five percent stake in Vice, which does everything from magazines to Web series to HBO series. The funding caused a little ripple among media folks, some of whom made the requisite comparisons to the New York Times (market cap: $1.7 billion) and the Washington Post (a mere $250 million). But, in retrospect, this one shouldn't be surprising.

Lasting Lessons
William McCreath
Professor Emeritus,
Art and Design
Having served as the Grand Marshal of the past seven Commencement ceremonies, Professor Emeritus William McCreath is one of the more recognizable professors at Montclair State. McCreath retired in 2013 after teaching ceramics at the University for 47 years. A generation of students recall their mentor's passion and caring and his ability to guide and nurture budding artists. "He was a master at facilitating young artists on their own personal journey of creativity," says Jason Timochko '00, '07 MA. Lisa Westheimer '08 MA always felt challenged but also "like he had my back. He stood by while I set myself up for failure but was always there to catch me as I fell." Huda Shanawani '97, '09 MA recalls, "He showed us how to look at life with an open mind and to see things from the other side. He is the kind of teacher I wish every student will get one day in their life."

From The G-Man
Hey people! Maybe it's a strange coincidence, but I've been getting a number of complaints about St. John's Hospital here in Far Rockaway. Many are outraged by what they describe as incredibly poor health care service and unsafe conditions within the facility. After speaking with members of the staff, as well as patients, it is abundantly clear that the time has come for state and local representatives to get involved, and I hope they do so quickly.
One woman I spoke to described an ordeal her daughter had gone through a couple of months ago. She told me that her daughter went to the hospital, around 6:30 p.m., to have x-rays taken of her nine year old son. He suffered a severe ankle sprain while playing at an after-school center. Hours had passed, and the mother began to wonder why she hadn't heard from her daughter. She called the emergency room at 11:30 p.m., and the boy still had not been seen by a doctor. When she asked to speak to the nurse in charge, no one ever came to the phone. She called back, but this time the phone was left to ring repeatedly. Her daughter finally arrived home at 2:00 am.
Marsha Thurmond-Holland, a medical transcriptionist from the Far Rockaway area, has worked in the medical field for the past 15 years, and she experienced the horrible and horrendous conditions of the hospital as well. She stated that one Sunday morning she felt ill. She went to St. John's to be cared for, and no one was available but the security guard. He took her into the emergency room, and they were greeted by a nurse who angrily responded, "I have no time for this. I'm busy! What do you think, I'm the only one who works here!" Mrs. Holland states, "Now I was there for chest pain, and thank goodness it was nothing serious, but how dare she! When anyone gets sick to the point where they feel they must go the local ER, they should be treated with respect and dignity, not like wild animals. I was too sick to let this person have it, but this I assure you will not go unnoticed or unpunished. I'm sorry to say this, but people with that kind of mentality have no business in the health care industry. The entire staff, when they finally made an appearance, seemed too tired to do any work!"
I sensed Mrs. Holland's anger and resentment toward the situation, and the next thing she told me nearly made me sick to my stomach. "This ER staff allowed a mentally disturbed man to walk freely around the emergency room: without his right ear! No bandages or anything. The wound was open for all to see. It was oozing pus, and the smell was unbearable. This made me, and a few others, extremely sick! It was only when I threatened to call the media that something was finally done. Within minutes, the patient was strapped to his bed, and all of a sudden everyone was on duty! Can you believe this mess? No wonder why that hospital is always under fire."
I have two very good friends that happen to work at St. John's, and they have expressed their anger and frustration regarding what is happening there. They talked of how monies are not being allocated to the appropriate areas of the hospital, medications are wrongly distributed from time to time, and how dirty syringes and gauze pads are left lying on the examination and emergency room floors. Needless to say, I was shocked. I can even recall a time when one of my family members visited the ER, and she told me how a man had gotten very sick in the room. He "lost his lunch" all over the floor and not one person came out to clean it up! It was left there for quite some time, and when she threatened to call hospital authorities, the mess was quickly cleaned up.
Another thing I heard, just a few days ago, was how the hospital has to close an enormous financial gap due to fiscal problems, and the way that this was being done was by jacking up the fees at the patient's expense. Don't take my word for it. This came from the inside folks! Many people have complained to me about being charged twice for a service rendered once, or they simply have been overcharged. I can attest to this because I just received a bill, and sure enough I was charged twice for something. I even got charged for a service I never received! I spent two days in St. John's, where very little was done, and I was billed over $5,000! I'm still trying to figure that one out.
I'll tell you what I have figured out. These doctors have one hell of a racket going! When I was in for sciatica, a lower back problem, a number of doctors came into my room. They never stated what their specialty was, but they poked and prodded my legs as though they were neurologists. I knew better. They came into my room with the intention of locating a fee for service, even though I had already seen my primary care physician and his assistant. So you see, there was really no need for these clowns to check me out. I realize that this article will not go over well with the staff or administration of St. John's, but I want to remind them of something. Don't shoot the messenger! I would not be able to write about these situations if people did not report them to me. I'm not trying to bring you down. If anything, I'm letting you know that people in the community have major concerns regarding your facility, and you need to address those concerns.
Far Rockaway needs this hospital, and with some effort, and input, from all of the major players that keep it functional, St. John's can become one of the greatest hospitals this state has ever seen. So to all those decision-makers, scrub up because it's time to operate!
You can hit me firstname.lastname@example.com for comments as usual. I'll see you next week!

Sources are reporting that Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, confronted the perpetrator who sold the picture of Houston's casket photo to the National Enquirer. Those close to Cissy Houston said during the confrontation, she demanded that all monies made from the sale of the photo be donated to charity.
Many people close to the family are pointing fingers at Whitney Houston's best friend and sister-n-law, Pat Houston, who had access to the star's body and has reportedly inked at least one deal to profit from Houston's death.
Since the National Enquirer published photos both of Whitney Houston's hotel room after her death and the casket photo, whoever sold the photos must've had full access to both these scenes. The only people who had full access to all both of these areas were Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, her brother Gary Houston, and her best friend – Pat Houston.
Also, in a recent interview for Oprah's Next Chapter, Pat Houston told Oprah that she was upset with the person who published the photographs — not the person who sold the photos.
Pat Houston also used the OWN interview to promote a line of candles, which struck many viewers as in poor taste.

Laponite-supported titania photocatalysts
Daniel, Lisa Maree (2007) Laponite-supported titania photocatalysts. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
Lisa Daniel Thesis
Submitted Version.
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
This thesis describes the synthesis and characterisation of titania photocatalysts for incorporation into a polyethylene film. Monodisperse, anatase-phase titania nanoparticles are prepared and the synthesis conditions necessary for attraction to a laponite clay support are determined. Methods of preventing agglomeration of the laponite system such as the use of a polyethylene oxide surfactant or chemical modification of the laponite plate edges with a dimethyloctyl methoxysilane are also explored. Finally, photocatalytic studies on the laponite-supported titania nanoparticles are performed, and the compatibility and photoactivity of these materials in the polyethylene film are examined.

Here we are history is about to happen folks and you are here to witness it, well you won't actually witness it but it is a major moment in Shifty history.
I've a split screen setup and on one side (left of course) I'm typing away and on the other is sitting a 156.2gb folder. Yep 156.2gb of film in that little puppy. This was the very first footage I shot with my first camera on my first attempt to make a doco all those years back.
I had no idea as to what I was doing, I went in without a plan figuring that if I shot enough footage then somehow miraculously a doco would come out of it. I guess sort of like feeling if I banged enough planks together somehow I'd end up with a super yacht. :)
Of course it never got done, not because the footage was bad but it's because in my desire to get all the little fine details I completely missed the actual subject.
So this folder contains the very first and very last footage on my drives and it is about to be deleted forever, yep never more will I have film on my computers again,
Gone, done, my past behind me in 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 delete.. folder is to big for recycle bin, do you want to permanently delete, okay delete. Gone..
That's it, no more trying to be a jack of all trades, I just want to write, oh crap I guess that means I have to come up with a story, shit!

Montague ISD Installs Storm Shelters
Montague, Texas -
Severe weather can strike at anytime and disasters such as the Moore tornado that decimated a school has many districts looking for ways to better protect their students during storm season.
Montague Independent School District Superintendent Curtis Eldridge says underground storm shelters were installed over the summer and will be ready to go when school starts in the fall.
The start of a new school year is only a couple of weeks away and Eldridge says the school district will be ready to go if severe weather were to strike.
"I think it'll be just an absolutely awesome for that situation and hopefully that doesn't occur but if it does, we're ready for it," Eldridge says.
Eldridge says each of the eight shelters can hold up to 15 people and were strategically placed on the school's campus to ensure students and staff can move into them quickly and safely.
Superintendent Eldridge says once the school year starts, they're going to start having drills where teachers and students can start practicing getting from their classrooms to their shelters.
"I think it is going to work out great," Eldridge says. "We'll start practicing here when school starts with the kids and get ready and have an intervention plan ready to go for the new year."
"Eldridge says purchasing and installing the storm shelters cost the district about $30,000.
He says money that was well spent.
"The district did pay for it and they compared installing some kind of above ground storm building or something of that nature and this was less money and yet could last for quite some time if not forever," Eldridge says.
However, while Eldridge hopes the shelters never get used, he says it will give him, teachers and parents peace of mind knowing they are there in case a storm rolls in.
Eldridge says he's started working on ways to teach students when and how to use the shelters and hopes to have those plans in place by the start of the school on Aug. 26.

The House on the Borderland HTML version
14. The Sea Of Sleep
"FOR A CONSIDERABLE period after the last incident which I have narrated in my
diary, I had serious thoughts of leaving this house, and might have done so; but for the
great and wonderful thing, of which I am about to write. "How well I was advised, in my
heart, when I stayed on here--spite of those visions and sights of unknown and
unexplainable things; for, had I not stayed, then I had not seen again the face of her I
loved. Yes, though few know it, none now save my sister Mary, I have loved and, ah!
"I would write down the story of those sweet, old days; but it would be like the tearing of
old wounds; yet, after that which has happened, what need have I to care? For she has
come to me out of the unknown. Strangely, she warned me; warned me passionately
against this house; begged me to leave it; but admitted, when I questioned her, that she
could not have come to me, had I been elsewhere. Yet, in spite of this, still she warned
me, earnestly; telling me that it was a place, long ago given over to evil, and under the
power of grim laws, of which none here have knowledge. And I--I just asked her, again,
whether she would come to me elsewhere, and she could only stand, silent.
"It was thus, that I came to the place of the Sea of Sleep--so she termed it, in her dear
speech with me. I had stayed up, in my study, reading; and must have dozed over the
book. Suddenly, I awoke and sat upright, with a start. For a moment, I looked round, with
a puzzled sense of something unusual. There was a misty look about the room, giving a
curious softness to each table and chair and furnishing.
"Gradually, the mistiness increased; growing, as it were, out of nothing. Then, slowly, a
soft, white light began to glow in the room. The flames of the candles shone through it,
palely. I looked from side to side, and found that I could still see each piece of furniture;
but in a strangely unreal way, more as though the ghost of each table and chair had taken
the place of the solid article.
"Gradually, as I looked, I saw them fade and fade; until, slowly, they resolved into
nothingness. Now, I looked again at the candles. They shone wanly, and, even as I
watched, grew more unreal, and so vanished. The room was filled, now, with a soft, yet
luminous, white twilight, like a gentle mist of light. Beyond this, I could see nothing.
Even the walls had vanished.
"Presently, I became conscious that a faint, continuous sound, pulsed through the silence
that wrapped me. I listened intently. It grew more distinct, until it appeared to me that I
harked to the breathings of some great sea. I cannot tell how long a space passed thus;
but, after a while, it seemed that I could see through the mistiness; and, slowly, I became
aware that I was standing upon the shore of an immense and silent sea. This shore was
smooth and long, vanishing to right and left of me, in extreme distances. In front, swam a
still immensity of sleeping ocean. At times, it seemed to me that I caught a faint glimmer
of light, under its surface; but of this, I could not be sure. Behind me, rose up, to an

Our family has prepared fried pies for four generations with a secret recipe that was passed down from our great grandmother. The buttery dough is made fresh daily, the fruit fillings are made from sliced fruit instead of canned fruit, seasonal pies are offered during peak harvests, and treats are made by hand.
As a close family, we all have memories of picking wild blackberries in a nearby thicket for making cobblers, or peeling Chilton County peaches for hours and hours during the hot summers, and those memories are why we continue to make pies. Every child in our family grew up making pies in Mamaw's kitchen — we all kneaded dough, peeled fruit, stirred the filling, and wore flour like a badge of honor.
But making pies is more than a family tradition, it's a way to bring people together. We want you to share in our memories of sugar, flaky dough and slowly cooked fruit. The desserts we carefully craft are more than ingredients in a bowl — they're an experience.
So take a bite from our Menu and prepare yourself for total happiness.
Excellent memories and deliciousness included. However, front porch, glass of cold milk, and summer evening are not provided.
Southern Fried Pies is a manufacturer of fried pies, fruit cobblers, cookies, cheesecakes and triple layer cakes. We supply Alabama restaurants, retailers and distributors with handmade treats that are crafted to be as natural as possible. This means our puddings are made from scratch, not from a box, and our cakes are made with real butter, freshly grated zest, and housemade cream cheese frosting. We put a lot of love into what we make, just like your grandmother, so that you can recall the tastes of your childhood favorites.
We opened our doors in 2008 as a manufacturer. We are FDA approved, Health Department approved, and Serve Safe certified. Because we are legally classified as a manufacturer, we cannot sell directly to the public quite yet.
We've got big plans for the future, so stay tuned.

Irish Coffee: Delonte West ecstatic about Jeff Green
|03.18.11 at 2:21 pm ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
While the Big Four of Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen probably looked at the Celtics-Thunder deadline deal as "The Kendrick Perkins Trade," at least one member of the C's saw it from a different perspective.
That's because Delonte West knew better than his teammates what Jeff Green was capable of contributing, because — as West puts it — everybody who grows up playing basketball in the Washington D.C. greater metropolitan area knows each other. Not to mention the two played together on the SuperSonics for half the 2007-08 season.
"I played with Jeff in a few rec leagues before up at Georgetown, and I played with him in Seattle," said West. "I know what he can do. I know what he's capable of. In Oklahoma, you had a few guys taking all the shine over there, but when I heard we were getting Jeff Green, I was automatic ecstatic. I've been in the gym with him before in Seattle. The guy can play."
Green could play then, and West believes his former teammate is even better now that he's added a few weapons to his repertoire of skills. Green has averaged 11.1 points on 48.8 percent shooting in 23.1 minutes a night in 10 games for the Celtics.
"Of course he's matured a little bit," added West. "He's a few years in now, and he's only getting better. I see him shooting that 3 ball real comfortably. I already knew he could run the floor and how easy he can get points for us. That's important."
In case you wanted to see just how beaten up The Big Four were about the Perkins trade and you missed Episode IV of "The Association: Boston Celtics," here you go …
In case you wanted to know what has made Paul Pierce a nine-time all-star, it's squats. Obviously. Let him explain in this awkward exchange with an overly excited workout dude …

The U.S. will NOT default on its debt!
Delivery options for The Political Commentator (free of course):
1 comment :
That is what debts ceiling means silly - no more spending beyond what revenue will cover. Solution increase revenue by taxing the deadbeat rich who used the money they got from Bush tax breaks, tax cuts and tax loopholes to lend to the government so they could collect interest instead of paying taxes in the first place. It is all basic and simple accounting. Increase revenue by increasing taxes and decrease spending by closing the National Parks and stuff like that. If you touch pensions or social security then you cannot close down the National Guard or there will be rioting in the streets the local police will not be able to handle so increasing taxes on everything, especially for the deadbeat rich is the way to go, or no credit check loans will seems the only friends. Putting stimulation money in the pockets of the working class in increments that will not cause them to take time off will do more for business than giving it to business. Etc. etc. etc.ReplyDelete

Date of Stay: August, 2006
A nice place to stay. Owners are friendly. They are expanding the park and will be offering wi-fi in the near future. We have stayed here several times and will again whenever we are in the area. Swedish heritage museum and shopping.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
Only shade is for back-in sites filled with long-term occupants. There is wi-fi available, but it does not work very well and if you inquire at the office, the owner is very rude about it. There is a nice fish pond, but nothing for children to play on. Sites were not well-maintained, needed mowing. Owner dragged interior roads after a rain with a noisy golf cart just after 8 a.m. Would probably not stay here again unless necessary.
Date of Stay: October, 2005
Nice park, friendly owners. Clean restroom and laundry. Can "rent" movies/dvd's at no charge when staying here. Quiet - very little road noise. No trains! No airports!
Date of Stay: August, 2005
Spent several months here this summer - friendly owners and staff. Nice park with ample room for big rigs. Some hiway noise, but mostly quiet. Close to Flying J for fuel and other amenities close by.
Date of Stay: May, 2005
Very nice county park. Weekly and monthly rates are available. Boat ramp and fishing on the lake and swimming allowed in the coves. Sites are very large with fire rings and picnic tables. Some interior roads are paved. Gate house staffed from early morning to late evening. A small restaurant is nearby with good food. Marshall, IL is not far for additional needs.
Date of Stay: May, 2005
This is an excellent State Park on a man made lake with boating and fishing. There is a very nice restaurant on site as well. The sites are spacious with a few paved for handicap access. All interior roads are paved. All sites are good gravel and level. There is a dump station and fresh water is available. The nearby town of Marshall, IL offers amenities such as fuel, groceries and a Wal-Mart.
Date of Stay: April, 2005
Nice park, needs more maintenance on interior roads and marking of campsites. Showers are metered. Restaurant on premises too, with good food and reasonable prices. Owners very accommodating to your needs. Open all year. Metered LP is available for long-term stay as well. Phone connection through local phone company.
Date of Stay: March, 2005
We have stayed at this park numerous times since 2004. It is behind a video rental store, but is quiet. All sites are back-in, but are quite ample for our 38 foot 5th wheel and toter. Owners are friendly and helpful. The bath, shower and laundry are new and clean. An additional amenity while you stay, is that you can rent DVD or VHS movies free of charge. Just off I-35, Lindsborg is a Swedish settlement with numerous attractions and events throughout the year.

One wrought iron post, that is permanetly placed into our cement steps, rusts and leaves an unsightly stain on our stoop. We are not able to remove the railings.
1. Can I encapsulate that railing base, and with what product, so that it will no longer leach out and then paint my cement steps to refresh them?
2. And is there a special cement colored paint to use for the stoop?
Thank you for your assistance - I know of no where else to turn to truly get a honest and professional answer.

Just downloaded and installed the trial version. Created a USB boot drive and booted on a new Dell workstation with dual, identical Samsung 830 SSD drives (SATA 0 and SATA 1 channels).
I realize the trial won't perform a clone, but it does allow me to go through all the steps up to "START".
When I start True Image 2013, it says there is only ONE drive. If I change the 2nd Samsung 830 to any other drive, it sees both drives. If I put the SAM 830 back in, it sees only one drive. Why does it see two identical model drives as one drive only? The Dell BIOS sees both SSD's fine.
Second, I am mainly interested in the clone functionality of 2013. I want to create a USB boot drive to run 2013. Can I use this utility on multiple computers without issue? Does the bootalble 2013 utility lock itself in some way to one PC?
Looking forward to purchasing, but need to make sure I can use it as a tool on multiple computers.
The bootable Recovery Media, either on CD-R or USB flash drive, is independent of computer. It can be run on any computer.
My best advice for the future: Do not Clone! Instead, do one extra step and create a full disk Backup to an external drive. If ever you need to return to that image state, you would do a full disk Restore/Recovery.
There is rarely a need to Clone. Really, Backup is safer and more flexible. Many users encounter problems Cloning which they would not have if they has instead used Backup.
1. Don't use Clone. Do a full disk Backup, selecting the entire disk, and a Restore. The end result will be the same as Clone, but with many advantages.
2. Check out the many user guides and tutorials in the left column of this forum, particularly ATIH 2012 - Getting Started and Grover's True Image Guides which are illustrated with step-by-step screenshots.
A full disk backup, selecting the disk checkbox rather than individual partitions, includes everything. It includes everything that a clone would include.
The difference is that while a clone immediately writes that information a single time to another drive, a backup is saved as a compressed .tib archive. As such, multiple .tib archives may be saved to a single backup drive, allowing for greater redundancy, security and flexibility.
Once a full disk image .tib archive is restored to a drive, the result is the same as if that drive had been the target of a clone done on the date and time that the backup archive was created.
Clone is riskier because we've seen situations where users mistakenly choose the wrong drive to clone from and to, thus wiping out their system drive.
When you say it sees only one drive, are you talking about the recovery media or ATI in Windows. I guess recovery media but I want to make sure.
If you replace one SAM disk by the other, is it detected correctly? If yes, there is probably a bug. Let us know.
Pat L, I meant from the recovery media (USB Flash drive). I have a SAM 830 128GB as the "master" and i've tried two new identical SAM830 128GB as the 2nd drive, and both times, ATI says there is only one drive and I can't clone. I also tried a SAM 830 256GB as the 2nd drive. Same thing. I then tried a OCZ Agility 3 as the 2nd drive, and this time it saw two drives and allowed a clone.
I think there is a bug when two of the same model drives are connected and a clone is attempted. I haven't tried any other functions, like backup, though.
Tuttle, as a long time Norton Ghost user (old DOS version I have on a bootable USB flash drive), I have happily been using it to clone for years. I do a lot of cloning and don't really need a "backup" feature unless I'm going to keep an image of some hard drive for future use. I do understand the differences between cloning and backup, but for my purpose, I need to clone a drive configuration to another drive or drives. Hence, I clone.
I've managed with the old Norton Ghost until recently when Ghost would not clone drives > 1.5GB. Also, cloning Windows 7 SSD's is a pain because Norton Ghost doesn't align the partition properly on the SSD. So I have to go through a Win 7 install on the target SSD just to create an aligned partition, then use Ghost to clone partition to partition. I assume ATI 2013 does this automatically.
Thanks for the advice, though.
I am going to notify Acronis of your situation as it might be an issue with the recovery software.
I'm a bit unhappy to find out that you shouldn't use the clone feature, you could accidently wipe out your data, I was just getting ready to clone my drive and I have a lot of files that need to be saved. But I have already done a system image back up with windows 7. I decided that I should create 2 backups just to be safe. I've used Copy Commander several times, you can select the automatic feature, or manually select the drive you want to copy to, I think it gives you a warning message if you try to copy to a drive that already has an operating system on it.
Anyway Acronis has some nice features like a rescue disk.

Art for Every Body
At Access Gallery, the most visible wing of VSA Colorado, one expects to see work created by people with disabilities: The nonprofit organization primarily offers services and programs for the developmentally disabled, with the idea of giving them better access to the world at large.
But Outside In, a new exhibit opening tonight, is a little different from the typical Access offering. The works in this show represent the outcome of a themed effort by VSA's fourteen-student Artworks program for teens, which teamed the kids with local artists -- Andy Brezeczek, Phil Bender, Jeff Wenzel, Marsue Todd, Derrick Velasquez, Niza Knoll and Ratha Sok -- to learn about and create works inspired by the spirit of unschooled, subconscious outsider art. That, says program director Cris Ciani, was a match made in heaven.
"Outsider artists seem to have a real need to create. A lot of our kids are like that, too," says Ciani. "They have a basic need to create." The results -- which come after an eight-week artist residency with field trips to see public art around the city and collect found objects -- go on display tonight during a First Friday reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Also on view will be an Easter Seals adult counterpart, Sculptures From the Edge, which was inspired in part by the work of deaf and Down's artist Judith Scott, who famously wrapped colored string into amazing sculptures (the VSA group wrapped a vacuum cleaner in tribute).
The shows continue at Access Gallery, 909 Santa Fe Drive, through May 4; attend a community art day from noon to 3 p.m. April 14, and a big celebration and meet-the-artist party on April 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. Go to www.accessgallery.org or call 303-777-0797.
Wednesdays-Saturdays. Starts: April 6. Continues through May 4, 2012

After many years of using my older Nikon FTN and a venerable Mamiya m645 I went out this weekend and purchased an almost new RB67 Pro SD w/ 90mm f3.5 lens. I love MF photgraphy and, well heck, everything about photography in general and particular. I've been shooting since I was 12 and that makes it about 45 years. Never became a professional as I had other things to hurdle that were more financially sound. That being said, I purchased the Mamiya to start doing more portraiture and landscapes. I also own a recently purchased Nikon D70s which is a fantastic camera also. So, I just wanted to introduce myself here and ask anyone familiar with the ins and outs of the RB's if there are any peculiarities that I should be concious of? I know not to throw the camera or try taking underwater photos with it. Other than that I am an avid student of photography and would love to hear from any of you.

Nrth...Sorta. I traded my YJ for this jeep and $$. Then I sold another car of mine to help fund this buildup. It just works MUCH better for me than the YJ did. I DO miss the Yj immensly, but I would have had to tow it up north or anywhere of any distance, and I only had a Dodge neon as another vehicle, and they suck for towing. Trust me! LOL
Thanks guys. The built the bumper and roof rack myself. I think total I have like $90 into them. $60 into the bumper and $30 into the roof rack. My 1st time bending tubing. Could have been a little better, but like I said, 1st time. By the end I was getting the hang of it pretty well.
I love the gunmetal blue. Looks real nice with the black I think.

Good News on the Palestinian Front
This seems encouraging: Ha'aretz reports that Palestinian proponents of liberal democracy are mobilizing to provide an alternative to the gunman kleptocracy of Fatah on the one hand and the Islamist theocracy of Hamas on the other.
An earlier attempt in this vein, in which now prime minister Salam Fayyad took a leading role, yielded paltry results at the polls. This time, however, Palestinian liberals hope to benefit from widespread disgust at the internecine fighting between Hamas and Fatah.
This is certainly good news.
But, in the interest of finding a dark cloud in every silver lining, I do have to confess a certain concern that the emergence of such a movement as an electoral force might split the vote of Palestinian opponents of Hamas. It's worth recalling that Hamas, in its 2006 electoral victory, won a parliamentary majority without winning a majority of the popular vote. The Islamist movement's victory was due in large part to Fatah's inability to maintain a united front. Instead, candidates aligned with Fatah competed with one another, handing the election to the more disciplined Hamas.
The recent rout of Fatah in Gaza underscored that Palestinians desperately need an alternative to Hamas that is dedicated to building democracy, advancing human rights and fighting corruption. One can only help that efforts to build such a movement do not yield unintended consequences.
UPDATE: The New York Times reports that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is planning on ending constituency-based voting in the next elections. That's where Fatah's disarray resulted in Hamas picking up a ton of seats. By moving to a more strictly proportional system, Abbas would be removing the danger that a third party could siphon votes from Fatah thereby handing victory to Hamas. So my silver lining no longer has a dark cloud accompanying it.

Biography of
Dr. Samuel Christopher Beard
It was said that Dr. S. C. Beard would sometimes in one day ride sixty miles on horseback in his professional work. His sympathies were large and his field of labor was, too, and in order to meet the demands of so extensive a practice long journeys necessarily at times had to be taken. When the war broke out, and whenever possible, his services were joyfully given to the needs of the boys in the Confederate camps, the doctor being regarded as one of the most valued physicians in the army.

SAMUEL CHRISTOPHER BEARD, M. D. - born near Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, October 3, 1831, at Blue Sulphur Spring, this county, December 12, 1855, was united in marriage with Martha Estaline HAMILTON, and the children born to them were seven: Walter C., May 27, 1859; Lillian H., June 11, 1861; Delia Miriam, January 11, 1864; Margaret E., November 25, 1866; Phil J. A., April28, 1869; Samuel C., April 6, 1872; Emma W. C., December 23, 1876; Delia M., died October 1875; Margaret E., died September 20, 1878; Walter C. is a practicing physician and makes his home in Alderson, this county, and the others are with their parents. Christopher BEARD, born near Lewisburg, April 1, 1798, died August 2, 1840, was the father of Dr. BEARD. His mother, whose maiden name was Miriam McNEAL, was born in Pocahontas County, December 7, 1834. [This could be a typo.] Her mother was born at that place, in 1810, and is now deceased, and her father, now deceased, was born on Muddy Creek, this county, in 1795. The BEARDS were among the pioneers of this county, noted for their industry, integrity, and interest in public advancement. They were bone and sinew of Presbyterianism in this community, and are recorded among the first elders of the faith in this county. Dr. BEARD lives on the old homestead, three miles northeast of Lewisburg, the farm containing 1,200 acres of valuable land. He receives his mail at Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia

In these days of automobile progression, physicians easily make their rounds, being able to see many patients daily, but in pioneer times it was different. It is said that Dr. S. C. Beard would sometimes in one day ride sixty miles on horseback in his professional work. His sympathies were large and his field of labor was, too, and in order to meet the demands of so extensive a practice long journeys necessarily at times had to be taken. When the war broke out, and whenever possible, his services were joyfully given to the needs of the boys in the Confederate camps, the doctor being regarded as one of the most valued physicians in the army. In the meantime, his private practice kept him busily engaged with the sick in his home surroundings, and until his death, in 1905, which closed a long and honorable career. Dr. Beard was thoroughly educated for his professional work. He completed his medical course in 1853, taking his degree, Doctor of Medicine, from the University of Virginia. A post-graduate course taken in Jefferson College, Philadelphia, subsequently, more fully equipped him for his life's work. Dr. S. C. Beard was born October 3, 1831, on a farm near Lewisburg, where his early boyhood days were spent. There were only two children, Dr. Beard and a brother, John A. Beard, who died in service the first year of the Civil war. He was a lieutenant in the cavalry and was with the Governor's Guards at the
time of his death. He was a son of Christopher and Miriam (McNeel) Beard, both natives of Virginia, and a grandson of Samuel Beard, of Scotch-Irish parentage, whose father, John, emigrated to America and settled in Pennsylvania, then later moved to Augusta county, Virginia, where he lived with his parents while a young man.
John Beard was a bold, venturesome man, and his courage was frequently needed in contests with the Indians. He married Janet Wallace and became the pioneer of Renick's Valley, Greenbrier county. This was about the year 1770. The young couple took up their abode in a cabin John had erected before his marriage on lands afterwards occupied by Abram Beard, his grandson. Here they reared a large family of sons and daughters, Samuel being the grandfather of the doctor. Samuel Beard married Margaret Walkup, and their children were: Tommie, Jesse, William R., Josiah, Margaret, Jane, Nancy, Siby and Mary. Margaret became the second wife of Thomas Price. Josiah was the first clerk of Greenbrier after its organization. His wife was Rachael Cameron Poage, daughter of Mayor William Poage, of Marlin's Bottom. William R. married Margaret McNeel.
Christopher Beard, the father of Dr. Beard, was born April 1, 1798, and died August 2, 1840. He was a large farmer, led a quiet and unobtrusive life, and became a useful citizen. His widow, who survived him until 1888, died at the age of nearly eighty eight years. She was the daughter of Abraham McNeel, of Scotch descent. Her grandfather, John McNeel, married Martha Davis, a zealous convert of John Wesley, and through her influence her husband erected the first log cabin for religious worship west of the Allegheny Mountains. Their home in Pocahontas county was near this church, where Bishop Asbury, the noted Methodist divine, often stopped over night.
John McNeel appears to have been the first to occupy the Littie Levels coming there about the year 1765. On October 10, 1784, we hear of him in camp at Lewisburg, joining the expedition to Point Pleasant.Children horn to John and Martha (Davis) McNeel were:Abraham, whose second wife was Miss Bridger; Betsy, John, Abe, Patsy, and Margaret, who married William Beard; and Miriam, who married Christopher Beard. She was horn in 1808, on the seventh of December, in Pocahontas county. She was married when sixteen years of age and lived on the farm three
miles above Lewisburg to the age of eighty-three.Jacob and Delilah (Jarrett) Hamilton were the parents of Estaline Montgomery, wife of Dr. Beard. Estaline Montgomery Hamilton was born at Blue Sulphur Springs, December 7, 1834. Her mother was born at that place in 1810. Her father was born on Muddy creek in 1795. She was united in marriage to Dr. Beard, December 12, 1855, and the children born to this union were Walter C., Lillian H., Delia Miriam, Margaret E., Phil J. A., Samuel C. and Emma W. Delia M., Margaret E. and Phil J. A. died several years prior to this sketch.The homestead, three miles north of Lewisburg, originally consisted of 1,200 acres of land.
From WV Encylopedia
Dr. S.C.Beard (1831-1905) was the older of two sons of Christopher Beard, his brother, John Abraham, dying from Civil War wounds. Dr. Beard spent his early years on a farm and attended the Lewisburg schools. In 1853, he graduated from the University of Virginia,. He followed his profession at Blue Sulpher Springs, Greenbrier County, for seven years, but when the war broke out he returned home to protect his mother and to run her farm. Although never officially connected to the Army, Dr. Beard saw so much experience during the progress of the war and so frequently gave his services, that he really was one of the most valued physicians and surgeons of the Confederate Army in that part of the state.
On Dec. 12, 1855, Dr. Beard was united in marriage to Estaline M. Hamilton, who was born near Blue Sulpher Springs, Virginia, now part of West Virginia, and was a daughter of Jacob and Delilah (Jarrett) Hamilton.
SAMUEL CHRISTOPHER BEARD, M. D. - born near Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, October 3, 1831, at Blue Sulphur Spring, this county, December 12, 1855, was united in marriage with Martha Estaline HAMILTON, and the children born to them were seven: Walter C., May 27, 1859; Lillian H., June 11, 1861; Delia Miriam, January 11, 1864; Margaret E., November 25, 1866; Phil J. A., April28, 1869; Samuel C., April 6, 1872; Emma W. C., December 23, 1876; Delia M., died October 1875; Margaret E., died September 20, 1878; Walter C. is a practicing physician and makes his home in Alderson, this county, and the others are with their parents. Christopher BEARD, born near Lewisburg, April 1, 1798, died August 2, 1840, was the father of Dr. BEARD. His mother, whose maiden name was Miriam McNEAL, was born in Pocahontas County, December 7, 1834. [This could be a typo.] Her mother was born at that place, in 1810, and is now deceased, and her father, now deceased, was born on Muddy Creek, this county, in 1795. The BEARDS were among the pioneers of this county, noted for their industry, integrity, and interest in public advancement. They were bone and sinew of Presbyterianism in this community, and are recorded among the first elders of the faith in this county. Dr. BEARD lives on the old homestead, three miles northeast of Lewisburg, the farm containing 1,200 acres of valuable land. He receives his mail at Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia.
|From Battle of White Sulphur Springs
Report of Col. George S. Patton, Twenty-second Virginia Infantry, commanding brigade.
Lewisburg, August 31, 1863.
MAJOR: I have the honor to submit the following report : I arrived on the morning of the 30th instant, about 9.30 o'clock, with my command (after a march of nearly twenty-four consecutive hours) at the junction of the Huntersville road with the James River and Kanawha turnpike. Information had been received the night before of the presence of the enemy on the latter road, moving in the direction of the White Sulphur Springs and Lewisburg, and I had been ordered by Major-General Jones to endeavor to intercept him. This cross-road is about a mile and a half east of the springs, and is just where the latter road emerges from a mountain gorge.
The enemy's advance was discovered just as the Twenty-sixth Virginia Battalion, under Lieut. Col. George M. Edgar, reached and passed the junction. I immediately ordered Colonel Edgar to countermarch his men and form them in line of battle across the road, facing to the eastward, and to deploy a company of skirmishers to his left and front, and to advance to Miller's house at the point -, on the accompanying diagram. This company, under command of Capt. Edmund S. Read, commenced the engagement by firing upon and driving back the enemy's advance.
Capt. G. B. Chapman's battery of four pieces now came up at a gallop, and immediately formed battery to the left of the Huntersville road in rear of Colonel Edgar's battalion and on a knoll, and opened fire upon the road along which the enemy was advancing and upon his reconnoitering parties, which had now appeared. The Twenty-second and Forty-fifth Virginia Regiments next came up in fine style, and were formed in line of battle, the first on the left and the latter on the right of the battery.
The enemy now brought six pieces of artillery to bear, and opened fire upon Chapman, who replied with great spirit and accuracy. An artillery duel of great heat ensued and lasted for more than two hours, when one of our pieces was disabled and another temporarily silenced.
In the meantime the Twenty-second Regiment was advanced to a fence running across a gentle ascent of open ground, and five of its companies deployed as skirmishers to take possession of the thickly wooded hill on the left of Miller's house, connecting on the right with Colonel Edgar's skirmishers. The Forty-fifth Virginia Regiment also was advanced on the right through a corn-field and took position with Colonel Edgar, who with them hastily threw up a rail barricade across the road and bottom, to an abrupt and well-wooded hill on their right, on which Major Woodram, with three companies, had been posted to observe the enemy's movements in that direction. Observing that the enemy was moving forces to his left, I ordered Colonel Browne, of the Forty-fifth Virginia, to move by the right flank, possess the hill, and hold it against the enemy.
These dispositions were scarcely concluded when the enemy advanced along the whole line and the action became general and heavy. Our skirmishers in advance on the left were now hotly pressed by largely superior numbers, but under the leadership of Lieut. Col. Andrew R. Barbee, of the Twenty-second Virginia Regiment, held their ground with admirable tenacity until their ammunition was exhausted, when they fell back in good order without any confusion, and, with the exception of a part of one company which was able to rejoin its regiment, were, by the nature of the ground, forced to take position on the extreme left of our line. In this change of position Lieut. Col. A. R. Barbee was severely wounded after being conspicuous for gallantry.
Repeated charges were now made on the right and left, which were in every instance handsomely repulsed. Desperate efforts were made to dislodge the Forty-fifth Regiment, but the steadiness of that regiment and the courage and skill of its commander foiled them all. During this time the fire of musketry and artillery was heavy and continuous. Chapman with his two pieces gallantly holding his own against the six of the enemy.
The enemy were bringing fresh troops into action and strengthening their position and line, and the issue of the contest seemed doubtful, when Lieutenant-Colonel Derrick, with his Twenty-third Virginia Battalion and about 200 of the Thirty-seventh Virginia Cavalry Battalion, arrived from Greenbrier Bridge. Colonel Derrick, with the Twenty-third, was immediately advanced to the left of the Twenty-second Regiment, not in the prolongation of the same line, as at first intended, but equally as near the enemy on the opposite hill, which tended in his direction.
In order to get to his position Colonel D. was compelled to move under a perfect storm of shot and shell, which caused some loss and some confusion, which latter was quickly remedied by that gallant officer. In obedience to my instructions, two companies of the Twenty-third, under Major Blessing, advanced through the open field under a galling fire, and took position on the left of the Twenty- second Regiment, where they remained during the remainder of the action.
At this juncture the enemy made a determined charge against Major Bailey near the center of our lines, who handsomely repulsed them, and drove them back in confusion, capturing their leader, Major McNally, and killing and wounding many within 15 paces of our lines.
This charge had hardly been repulsed when the enemy formed a squadron of cavalry on the main road, who charged Colonel Edgar's position, but were driven back in utter confusion and rout, many of their horses coming into our lines. A second charge was no more successful.
Having thus tried the left and center, a very heavy force of at least two regiments was formed to force my right, but Colonel Browne, ever vigilant, informed me in time to send him Major Claiborne, with about 200 men of the Thirty-seventh Battalion, and with them again repulsed the enemy with great slaughter.
It was now getting late in the evening. The enemy had been repulsed at all points, and not a foot of ground lost by our men since morning. For some time the action was almost suspended, except for the dropping fire of sharpshooters and the occasional boom of a gun. Just at sunset, however, the increased rapidity of the firing and the reopening of artillery foretold another attack. For a few moments the firing was very heavy, and then the enemy charged Colonel Edgar's position, but, as usual, was repulsed handsomely. It was now night, and, after nine hours of fighting, the action ceased, the enemy still remaining in front. Sentinels were posted in front of the lines, and the two forces lay down to rest less than 300 yards apart.
The night was spent in visiting the lines, strengthening the weak points, and causing the wounded to be removed and cared for. At daybreak the attempt was again made to storm our position, but with so little spirit that it was evident that the enemy had lost confidence. They replied to our artillery, however, and maintained a brisk fire of small-arms until about noon, when, after another ineffectual attack, they commenced to retreat. Pursuit was immediately made by Col. J. M. Corns, of the Eighth Virginia Cavalry, with a portion of his regiment, the Thirty-seventh Battalion, and a piece of artillery, and the infantry advanced.
It was soon found, however, that the enemy had so heavily blockaded in their rear that much delay would be experienced. Pioneer parties were detailed to cut out the blockade, and very early the next morning the cavalry started again in pursuit, the infantry also moving as far as Callaghan's, when it was found that the enemy had passed Gatewood's, where it had been hoped they would have been intercepted by Colonel Jackson's command. I was then ordered by the major-general commanding to return to this point.
My force in the action consisted of the Forty-fifth and Twenty- second Virginia Regiments, Twenty-sixth Virginia Battalion, Twenty- third Virginia Battalion, a detachment of the Thirty-seventh Cavalry Battalion, and Chapman's battery of four pieces; in all about 1,900 men. Colonel Corns, with his cavalry, was not in the action on the first day, and only a mall portion on the second day, yet rendered efficient service in pursuit. The enemy's force was all mounted (about 3,500 strong), under Brigadier-General Averell, and consisted of five regiments, a battalion, and six pieces of artillery.
Our loss was 154 killed and wounded and 18 missing. That of the enemy, as estimated by themselves (especially a captured surgeon), between 400 and 500. We captured 117 prisoners, including a major and 3 captains (many of them wounded), and - pieces of artillery.
It would be invidious, where all conducted themselves so well, to make particular mention of any, but I feel bound to express my appreciation of the high service of the regimental and battalion commanders, and Capt. G. B. Chapman, of the battery. I also take great pleasure in mentioning the valuable services of Major McLaughlin, chief of artillery of this department, who was with me during the entire action, and aided me much by his excellent judgment, and acted with conspicuous gallantry.
My thanks are also especially due to Lieut. J. W. Branham, of General Echols' personal staff, who has been serving with me since the general has been absent. He did us great service by a reconnaissance in rear of the enemy, the result of which he reported just as we were going into action, and during the fight he exhibited the utmost energy, skill, and courage.
I take occasion also to call favorable attention to the conduct and gallantry of Lieut. Noyes Rand, acting assistant adjutant-general of the brigade ; Lieut. E. C. Gordon, ordnance officer ; Lieut. James F. Patton, acting brigade inspector, and Lieut. Henry C. Caldwell, volunteer aide.
Lieut. Col. A. C. Dunn, although under arrest, offered his services on the field ; throughout behaved in the most soldier like and gallant manner, and at a critical moment encouraged his men by his voice and example.
My thanks are also due to Maj. W. B. Myers, assistant adjutant- general; Capt. R. L. Poor, Engineer Corps, and Lieut. P. C. Warwick, of General Jones' staff, who gave me their services and behaved most gallantly.
I must not omit to mention the valuable services of the medical staff of the brigade, who were always on hand and promptly attended to the wounded. Dr. Beard, of Greenbrier, not in the service, was present as acting surgeon of the Twenty-sixth Virginia Battalion, and was most conspicuous for energy and efficiency.
I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant.
Colonel, Commanding.
Maj. C. S. STRINGFELLOW,
Assistant Adjutant-General.

Even after probably a dozen watches I still can't put my finger on why I like this movie so much. The kills are just average, the majority of the movie is too dark, the girls aren't even close to being attractive and the killer is a fucking goober. Despite all this I still watch it probably twice a year. It's just good, innocent, 80's slasher fun.

The Dutchman had saved Sunderland from relegation last season as interim boss after taking over in March and eventually opted to come back for another season after initially deciding to retire.
A record 29 managers in the top four English divisions were sacked in the first half of this season, according to the League Managers Association's Mid-Season Manager Statistics report. Leicester's Nigel Pearson, Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers, Sunderland's Dick Advocaat, Aston Villa's Tim Sherwood, Swansea's Garry Monk and former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho were replaced in the Premier League, while 10 Championship managers were fired.

Sunderland have confirmed their manager Dick Advocaat has resigned from his managerial position at the club.
Following a string of poor performance under former manager Gus Poyet, the Black Cats showed him the exit door and the Dutchman replaced him as the manager in March 2015.
Sunderland head coach Dick Advocaat will head into the final few days of the summer transfer window facing an anxious wait over the final shape of his squad.
The 67-year-old Dutchman has repeatedly urged owner Ellis Short to sanction the acquisition of further "quality" signings in the belief that the current crop of players are only strong enough to mount a third successive bid for Barclays Premier League survival.

Sunderland fell to a second defeat in two games in an inauspicious start of their Premier League campaign on Saturday when they were outplayed and outscored by newly-promoted Norwich City.

It was the same old story for Sunderland in 2014-15; start with a vibrant manager with momentum from the previous campaign, fall into a mid-season lull, bring in someone new, regroup, stay up.

Dick Advocaat has revealed he wants up to four more summer signings as he attempts to rebuild his Sunderland team.
The 67-year-old Dutchman agreed to return to the Stadium of Light as head coach last month after initially rejecting the opportunity to reprise his nine-game cameo at the end of last season, during which he guided the club away from relegation trouble and ultimately preserved their Barclays Premier League status.
Dick Advocaat changed his mind over returning to Sunderland after owner Ellis Short refused to leave him alone.
The 67-year-old reluctantly turned down the offer of an extended stay on Wearside days after the Barclays Premier League season drew to a close after his successful mission to preserve the Black Cats' top-flight status.
By Chris Wright
After just about guiding the club to Premier League survival this season, Dick Advocaat has U-turned his retirement plans and signed up for one more year of fun and frolics at Sunderland.
With Sunderland entrenched in the relegation mire and the situation looking increasingly dire week by week, Gus Poyet was sacked and Advocaat was broughtin on an interim basis in March vowing that the gig would be his last in club football.
Dick Advocaat has rejected the opportunity to become permanent head coach at Sunderland.
The Black Cats confirmed on Wednesday evening that the 67-year-old, who was drafted in in March for just nine games in which he was able to secure the club's Barclays Premier League status, would not be returning to Wearside.
Dick Advocaat has challenged Sunderland to build on their successful survival battle in the Barclays Premier League next season whether he is in charge or not.
The Dutchman was in tears as the final whistle blew at Arsenal after the Black Cats battled to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday night, which was enough to avoid a nervous final day of the season at champions Chelsea on Sunday with Hull and Newcastle now left to scrap it out for survival.
Once again Arsenal huffed and puffed against a lesser opponent at home but could not find past Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon, as Dick Advocaat's side got the point they needed to ensure that they will be playing Premier League football next season.
Despite Arsenal having plenty of chances to put the match beyond Dick Advocaat's side and so secure third place, the hosts were left frustrated following a resolute display by Sunderland, which leaves Newcastle and Hull City now alone in facing the scrap for survival on Sunday.
Dick Advocaat is confident Sunderland can keep themselves up after seeing them rekindle their Barclays Premier League survival bid with victory over Southampton.
The delighted Dutchman looked on as Jordi Gomez converted two penalties to secure a 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light and three points which proved vital on an afternoon when Leicester and Aston Villa also boosted their chances of escaping the drop.
With Dick Advocaat's Sunderland squaring off against Louis van Gaal's Manchester United in the Premier League today, the opportunity has been seized to once again circulate what must surely rank as one of the most iconic sporting images of our time.
The photo you see above you of Advocaat and Van Gaal squatting coyly beside a pair of scantily clad ladies was taken as part of a promo set for the Eredivisie clash between PSV and Ajax in 1995.
With the news that Dick Advocaat has U-turned on his retirement plans and signed up for one more year on Wearside after being pestered into it, grateful Sunderland fans have decided to show their appreciationby clubbing together to buy his wife some flowers.

Off the southern point of Australia, Tasmania is ridding itself of its dark, prison island past and becoming popular for its wild rainforests, tranquil beaches and stunning scenery. Affectionately known as 'Tassie', the island is a hotspot for cycling, rafting, kayaking and bushwalking.
Tasmania is brimming with wildlife; it's the only place in the world that you'll find the rare Tasmanian devil in their natural habitat and there are regular sightings of dolphins, seals and whales enjoying life in the wild. Dramatic coastal scenery, protected World Heritage Sites and National Parks full of untouched wildlife, makes Tasmania a very special destination. Tasmania's charming cities are starting to build a name for themselves with edgy music halls and delicious gourmet cuisine. For an island about the same size as Ireland, Tasmania packs in so much scenery, adventure and exploration that it's best you head there before everyone else does!
