Sorry to ask this question but I need to! There is so much info out there but still I havent found the perfect settings/setup.
I use a Panasonic HVX201AE + Adobe Premiere pro CS4 to shoot and upload to Youtube.
I prefer to do widescreen and all is digital.
First Panasonic settings what is the best format to shoot?
Second Adobe Premiere settings to import and export to get the best results in Youtube.
Hope to find some usefull tips
With the HVX, I think you should shoot 720p30. It doesn't natively record 1080i and you'd have to deinterlace for the web anyway. You can shoot 24p if you want, I've read that computer screens work at 30p. People don't seem to have major problems with either frame rate.
Here's a tutorial I made for compressing for the web. I demonstrate with Apple's Compressor, but the principals apply to all software

oops...forgot to post thing link:

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply, in the mean time I did some test myself.
This is completly based on my personal setup:
Importing footage from Panasonic HVX201AE (1080i) into
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and export for YouTube HD format.
You can follow this link and see for your self the differance
Hope some one will have some use out of it

Something's wrong--the video is flipped or something because it looks like your steering wheel is on the passenger side.
(Sorry, just a little cross-Atlantic humor.)
But seriously, the Quick Time movie looks distorted (tall and skinny). The HD clips look pretty sweet to me. The settings you used for the widescreen HD clip must be pretty good--it looked good to me.
FYI I know what it's like with Adobe. I used Pinnacle for years and it was so simple. I upgraded to Adobe and for a month or so, I wondered why I did! It has sooooo many options! But once I figured it all out, I prefer having all the options.
Hi Pseudo,
The first test (PAL Widescreen Source to High Quality Download.wmv) is acceptable but no HD
The second one (Quick Time PAL DV Wide screen.mov) no widescreen no HD
Third test (YouTube Widescreen SD.mp4) quality is reasonable but again no HD
The last test (YouTube Widescreen HD.mp4) is excellent and in HD format

In this short, lovely commentary, Mark Silk captures much about Connecticut that matches with my impressions of the state I still consider home. Silk also captures the way a tragedy like the shooting in Newtown impacts localities differently because of the degree of connectedness the tragedy reveals. This is a very important point. People who tend to speak about a universal sense of identity, without acknowledging the ways physical, familial connectedness alter our moral compass, can end up sounding - and being - inalert to the human and the humane.

You could set the session domain to example.com; that may be the cleanest option, though this contradicts best practices for reducing cookie transmissions for resources that don't need them, i.e.: http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#cookie_free An alternative is to try to pass the session ID via a URL parameter, but making this option available in your site probably decreases your site's security; there are reasons why PHP no longer defaults to propagating session IDs that way. Another strategy to consider is just not using sessions on any of the subdomains at all. If you come to a point where you need to put data into the session, that's the time when you redirect to the secure hostname, and put all session data there to start with. >> OR >> >> b) >> >> all the visitors at subdomain1.example.com are directed to >> https://subdomain1.example.com/orders/checkout >> >> all the visitors at subdomain2.example.com are directed to >> https://subdomain2.example.com/orders/checkout On Dec 24, 2010, at 19:17, Matt Murphy wrote: > Unless you have a wildcart cert, you'll have to use method a.

Well, you either buy a wildcard SSL certificate that covers all the subdomains of your domain, or you buy an individual regular SSL certificate for each subdomain. One popular SSL certificate provider whose web site I just checked charges $60/yr for a regular SSL certificate that covers one subdomain, or $200/yr for a wildcard SSL certificate that covers unlimited subdomains on a domain. Clearly, at these prices, if you need to protect 4 or more subdomains, a wildcard SSL certificate is the cheaper option. Wildcard SSL certificates are a newer feature, so they won't work with older browsers. Not sure what browsers fall under this definition of "older"; you'd have to research and see if you care about those browsers.

I just cant wait to see if @Jesse posts the Day Worker question! You know, the one where he asks, as if he really does want to know, if this took place near the Day Worker Center. It's phrased so casually that you might not even notice it in amongst the comments. Something like, "Isn't that near the Day Worker Center?" He posts that question to many, many crimes stories.
I can only imagine that he wants us all to associate Crime with Day Worker Center.
Let's wait and see if he posts it here!
BTW, it's great that they had their alarm set.

Liz Wylie really said it all with two words: "Crime thwarted!"
And it does not have to be an expensive system, to achieve the same result. If you don't have one, you may want to look into it, for as this story tells so clearly, some criminals either don't know or care if someone is at home when they intend to invade your home.
But having a system or device that draws attention to the intrusion in-progress *before* they are able to enter your home is paramount to nipping crimes like this in the bud. I help people design systems like this every day, and they feel much safer for it. Find someone local to you to do the same, and you will too.

While on Tuesday evening the networks hyped President Obama "talking tough" to Russia and "belittling" them, only ABC pressed him on whether he was wrong about Russia during the 2012 campaign.
ABC's White House correspondent Jonathan Karl asked the President, "In the light of recent developments, do you think Mitt Romney had a point when he said that Russia is America's biggest geopolitical foe?" The World News aired the clip, as well as Obama's response that Russia is only a "regional power."
Yet while ABC at least pressed Obama on his knowledge of foreign affairs, CBS and NBC gave him a pass. The President talked down Russia as only a "regional power" yet the networks didn't even question that.
The CBS Evening News reported that "Mr. Obama belittled Russian president Vladimir Putin, calling Russia a 'regional power'." NBC's Brian Williams said that "the words President Obama chose today to describe Russia are getting a lot of attention tonight," and noted that Obama "went the faint praise route."
Like a stenographer, Williams simply repeated Obama's words – "A regional power" – for effect, before moving to the rest of the report.

Beyoncé is bent on being the girl who runs the world and she very well could make that a reality. Her performances are must-see. She produces number-one hits and copy-cat dance music videos like one one else. She even worked on her Paul Robeson, proving she can hang in a film with Hollywood heavyweights like Jamie Foxx and Idris Elba. This is a true Renaissance woman.
Like her fans, the film Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has taken note and recently invited the singer/dancer to join the team of artists and critics who get to vote on Oscar-nominated films, Reuters reports. The Houston, Texas, native is one of 178 celebrities who were invited to join this prestigious voting crew. Other invited stars are The Hangover superstar Bradley Cooper, Katy Perry's husband, Russell Brand, and Facebook's Jesse Eisenberg.
Beyoncé's fourth solo album, 4, is scheduled to drop next week June 28. As she gears up for the release, she's giving away 15 tickets on her website to see her live, VIP-style, as she performs on Good Morning America July 1 for their concert series.

Predicting box office with and without markets: Do internet users know anything?
This study investigates and compares predictions of opening weekend box office revenue from an online prediction game, the Derby, and an online prediction market, the Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX), using a sample of 141 films released in 2007. Overall, both mechanisms provide accurate predictions of box office outcomes but tend to over-predict small-earning films and under-predict large-earning films. This bias is present across a number of sub-samples disaggregated by film-specific variables. The bias is consistently greater in the Derby game, suggesting that the market mechanism is superior to the non-market mechanism. There is also evidence that larger budget films, sequels and films featuring stars are predicted more accurately in both settings, and that individual-level predictions improve as films spend more time at the box office and as players gain experience.

Beaumont Hamel
The village of Beaumont Hamel was one of the fortress villages located just behind the German lines on the 1st of July 1916. This position commanded the valley over which the attacking troops had to cross. The British attack on this part of the line was undertaken on that day by the 29th Division, part of VIII Corps, and there is a great deal more to see in the nearby Newfoundland Memorial Park, which has another page on this website devoted to it and which can be found to the south-west of the village. The first objective on the 1st of July was a line just beyond the village, with the third objective an ambitious further mile and three-quarters beyond that.
Map of Beaumont Hamel and surrounding area
In Beaumont Hamel at the bottom of the Rue de la Montagne stands the white painted base of a flagpole. This flagpole commemorates the capture of the village by the 51st Highland Division on the 13th of November 1916.
51st Division flagpole base in Beaumont Hamel
Until recently, however, only the base of the flagpole remained with a small conifer hedge behind it. An appeal was launched by the Scottish Branch of the Western Front Association to reinstate the flagpole. Generous donations were made by WFA members (and others), including one of £1,000 from a WFA member whose uncle was killed on the 13th of November 1916. The replacement flagpole was unveiled at Beaumont Hamel on the 90th Anniversary of the battle - the 13th of November 2006.
The flagpole in Beaumont Hamel was restored and unveiled in 2006
A new plaque by the flagpole with the insignia of the Highland Division gives information about the attack on the 13th of November, along with a verse written by Lieutenant E. A. Mackintosh of the Division who died in 1917.
Leaving Beaumont Hamel in the direction of Auchovillers on the D163, there are several sites of interest along the road. This road leads across the 1916 battlefield, crossing first the German lines (aligned roughly with the Hawthorn Crater), and then the British lines. Near the village was the Hawthorn Redoubt, a strong position in the German line, and this was where one of the mines was exploded on the 1st of July 1916. This mine was the only one north of the river Ancre, and was blown earlier than the others that day.
Lieutenant-General Hunter-Weston, who commanded VIII Corps, originally wanted to blow the mine four hours before the infantry attack. This was vetoed by GHQ (on the advice of the Inspector of Mines) due to experience being that the Germans were better at occupying mine craters than the British. In the end, the mine was blown 10 minutes before Zero Hour, at 7.20 a.m., whilst the other mines were blown at just 2 minutes before the infantry attacked at 7.30 a.m. In addition, the VIII Corps heavy artillery bombardment lifted from the German front-line trenches and support trenches to the reserve trenches at 7.20 and 7.25 a.m., again earlier than in other sectors. This meant that the Germans had good warning of the attack, and they were able to put down a barrage and machine-gun fire over the area, catching the attacking troops forming up.
The Official History (Military Operations France & Belgium 1916 Volume 1) states that "the explosion of the mine ten minutes before the assault undoubtedly prejudiced the chances of success, as it warned the Germans to be on the alert". The Germans were able to man the front line trenches, often standing in front and firing at the attackers. The 86th Brigade was to capture Beaumont Hamel, and men from the 2/Royal Fusiliers went forward to try and take the Hawthorn Crater, just ahead of the main attack. They did reach the crater, but the Germans were on the opposite side, and the Royal Fusiliers also came under fire from German trenches running to either side. Except for about 120 men of the 2/Royal Fusiliers, none of the other 86th Brigade troops (the other attacking battalions were the 1/Lancashire Fusiliers, 1/Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the 16/Middlesex) reached the German held positions here, and the attack failed.
The Hawthorn Ridge Mine Crater
The crater blown at the Hawthorn Redoubt can be seen today; there is a sign in French by the side of the road, and a narrow steep track on the left leads to the crater. The original crater was later the site of a second mine, this time on the 13th of November, the day a successful attack took the village. The first mine (1st of July) used just over 40,000lbs of ammonal; the second 30,000lbs. This was approximately ten times more than was used at High Wood, but less (on each occasion) than the single mine blown at Lochnagar. So this is actually a double crater, although it is very difficult to see much at all, as the crater is lined with trees and the undergrowth is thick. The crater is not water filled. However, there are good views showing the advantage of the German positions; the photograph below shows the view from the Hawthorn Crater (the German lines) towards the area of the British lines, where Beaumont Hamel British Cemetery can be seen.

Located a little further south of the mine crater is Hawthorn Ridge No. 1 Cemetery. This is reached by tracks which lead from Auchonvillers or from the D73. The track leading to it is muddy and rutted, but there are superb views down into the valley, looking along the British lines, and the memorial to the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders and also Beaumont Hamel Cemetery can be seen below (these are covered in more detail further down on this page).
Just where the small path leads off the track to reach the cemetery is where the British front line was located. The cemetery itself is located in what was No Mans Land in 1916. It is very small, with just two rows of graves and was one of the cemeteries made in spring 1917 by V Corps, and was originally designated 'V Corps Cemetery No. 9'. There are just over 150 men buried here, only 82 of whom are identified.
One of the identified officers buried here is Second Lieutenant Eric Rupert Heaton who like many others here is one of two names shown on a headstone. Eric Heaton, the youngest son of Reverend and Mrs Heaton of Hove, was just 20 when he died on the 1st of July, and a small plaque was later placed by his grave which is still there today (shown in the photo below). Also named on the same headstone is Lance Corporal John Schofield Heape from Bedford, who was the same age and died on the same day. In fact, the majority of the graves here are of men who died on the 1st of July, although there are also a few from late June 1916 and also from the 13th of November when the village of Beaumont Hamel was taken.
Grave of Lance Corporal Heape and Second Lieutenant Eric Heaton
North of the cemetery and the crater, and a little further along the D163 after the sign for the mine crater is a sign on the right to the 'Monument Escossais'. This is the memorial to the 1/8th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (who attacked at Beaumont Hamel on the 13th of November 1916), which is in the form of a massive Celtic Cross.
In 1921, the site for the memorial to the 8th Battalion of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders was chosen. The owner of the site, which was located only yards from where the Battalion HQ was in 1916 (near Hunter Trench), gave the land on nominal terms and on Sunday the 4th of March 1923, the imposing memorial was unveiled by the Duke of Argyll. An officer and 20 other ranks from the battalion, plus French representatives including the Mayor of Beaumont Hamel, attended the ceremony, at which pipers played. The memorial is constructed of French limestone, and was sculpted by G. Paulin of Glasgow. It stands 27 feet high, with eight panels around the base, four larger ones on each cardinal face plus a smaller one at each corner.

The front panel has an inscription in Gaelic; then, moving to the right around the monument: -
- The first small panel lists the battle honours of the 15th (Scottish) Division and the 61st Division in 1918
- The large panel on the right hand side gives a brief synopsis of the 1/8 A&SH: Mobilised for Service 4/8/14 - 12/11/19; Service in the Field 1/5/15 - 11/11/18; Killed In Action 51 Officers and 831 NCOs & men; Wounded 105 Officers 2527 NCOS & Men
- The next small panel lists the 1915 51st (Highland) Division battle honours
- On the rear large panel are the unit emblems, the largest being that of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
- The rear left small panel lists the 1916 51st (Highland) Division battle honours
- The large panel on the left states: 8th Argyllshire Battalion, Princess Louise's Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
- The final panel, the small one on the front left, lists the 1917 51st (Highland) Division battle honours
Inscription and detail on the 8th A&SH memorial
On the 13th of November, the 8th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders were part of 152nd Brigade in the 51st (Highland) Division, and they attacked from a position slightly in advance of that of the 1st of July, along with the 5/Seaforths, with the 6/Seaforths in support and 6/Gordons in reserve. The second mine in the Hawthorn Crater was blown, this time just before Zero Hour. The leading troops here met with strong German resistance, but carried the village as commemorated both there and also at the 51st Division Memorial in the Newfoundland Memorial Park nearby.
A grass track directly opposite the memorial leads to Beaumont Hamel British Cemetery. Standing at the gate of the cemetery, and looking back towards the road one can see directly opposite on the ridge behind the road the tree lined crater of the Hawthorn ridge mine.

Beaumont Hamel British Cemetery has brick entrance pillars by the gateway, but otherwise a low hedge surrounds the cemetery (although behind this on the field side at the back and the right of the Cemetery is a very low concrete wall, presumably for structural reasons). The Cemetery, standing in the old No Mans Land, was started after the village was taken on the 13th of November 1916, and was used until February 1917. As with many other cemeteries, more graves were moved here after the Armistice.
It now contains 97 identified and 82 unidentified burials from the Great War, in two long rows of graves. Many of the burials are 1st of July casualties. There are two special memorials to men known to be buried here, which are located directly behind the Cross of Sacrifice at the back of the cemetery.
Beaumont Hamel British Cemetery
After the war, it was decided that the headstones of the fallen would be of a common design, and one of the few areas of choice that the next of kin had was the religious emblem. Usually, this was a cross, although families could request that this be omitted, or of course for other religions another appropriate symbol be in its place - such as the Star of David. This symbol can be seen on the grave of Private Harry Steinberg, buried here at Beaumont Hamel British Cemetery. However, until very recently Harry Steinberg's headstone actually bore a cross. Only in 2005 was this error was rectified by the Commonwealth War Graves Comission, and after I first noted the basic facts on this website, I was contacted by Andy Green with the full story.
Western Front Association (WFA) member Andy was the man behind this change. On a tour of the Somme Battlefields, he noticed that Private Steinberg's grave bore the cross, although his name suggested he may have been Jewish.
On returning home, Andy found that Harry Steinberg was listed in the "British Jewry Book of Honour" which lists details of all Jews who had served in the Commonwealth forces. The 1901 Census enabled Andy to trace the Steinberg family, and he then pursued several lines of research. Many records relating to the Great War are held at the National Archives, Kew. Unfortunately, Private Steinbergs service record was one of those destroyed in the Blitz; however his Medal Index Card was available. The National Newspaper Library in Colindale held copies of the "Jewish Chronicle", and in 1916 Harry Steinberg was listed as "Killed in Action", and his obituary was published there.

The War Diary of the 2/Queens (also at the National Archives, Kew) gave details of the action in which Harry Steinberg died, and Andy found that Harry's brother, Emanuel, was also wounded in the same action. Sadly, Emanuel too was subsequently killed, just two weeks before the end of the war, when his unit was serving on the Piave front in Italy. His headstone already had a "Star of David" on it, and his details were also listed in the "British Jewry Book of Honour" and in the "Jewish Chronicle" for 1918.
When Andy presented all this evidence, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission agreed to change Harry Steinberg's headstone. Andy, along with Geoff Spring (Chairman of the Ox. & Bucks Branch of the WFA) attended the rededication ceremony on May the 9th 2005, after the new headstone bearing the Star of David had been put in place. About 60 people were present at the ceremony, including local dignitaries, the military (including a Jewish French General), members of the WFA, members of the Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women (AJEX) Standard bearers, a bugler and a pipe player.

The service consisted of a selection of prayers, hymns and short speeches in English, French and Hebrew. This was followed by the playing of the "Last Post", two minutes silence, "Reveille", a piper's lament and wreath laying. The service concluded with the singing of the British and French National Anthems after which those attending were invited by the mayor of Beaumont Hamel to the town hall for a "Vin D'Honneur".

Religion is perhaps not as important to as many people today as it was during the Great War, but the fact that now this soldier's grave correctly shows his religious faith can only be a good thing. Although he lay for nearly 90 years in a grave marked with a cross, he now lies in a grave marked with the Star of David, like his brother many miles away. This has only come about because of the interest, endeavours and perseverance shown by Andy Green, and his efforts should be recognised and applauded.
It is a Jewish tradition, which goes back long before the First World War, to place a small stone on top of a grave. These stones can be seen on headstones in many of the cemeteries on the Western Front, and now, as shown in the picture below, on the headstone of Private Harry Steinberg.
Private Harry Steinberg's grave at Beaumont Hamel British Cemetery
Of course there are storeis behind all those buried or commemorated in each war cemetery. Another man buried here, Second Lieutenant Owen Fox of the 1st Dorsets had served in the South African campaign and, the register notes, had been awarded the Queen's and King's medals with six clasps. He was 47 years old when he died on the 6th of February 1917. When I last visited someone had placed a photo beside the grave of Private John W Ridings, a 1st of July casualty. The photo had an inset of him in soldier's uniform, but the main picture was obviously of his family when he was young - three children sitting around their mother, with innocent faces looking gravely towards the camera.
In between the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders Memorial and Beaumont Hamel Cemetery is a track running up the hill. This is the Sunken Lane; from which British troops attacked the German lines (which were to the right as you look directly up the lane) on the 1st of July. Private John Ridings may have been one of those who died in the attack launched from this lane; he was with the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers who attacked here that day.
The Sunken Lane from which the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers attacked on the 1st of July 1916
A little further along the road from Beaumont Hamel to Auchonvillers, on the right, is the position where Geoffrey Malins famously filmed the mine explosion on Hawthorn Ridge on the 1st of July 1916. This footage is often shown on documentaries about the Great War, and in fact can also be found on the internet, for example at the Virtual Seminars for Teaching History website.
A track leading up from here runs to the position which was known during the war as 'White City'; another video sequence on the Virtual Seminars for Teaching History website shows this location, where there were stores and also dugouts used in the Somme offensives.
Redan Ridge
A small road leads north from Beaumont Hamel up to Redan Ridge, which is an area of high ground. The 4th Division attacked here on the 1st of July 1916, and suffered what the Official History calls 'disastrous losses'. Some soldiers did reach the German front line, and a few even reached the German support line, but so few that they were surrounded and killed or captured, with only two returning. However, there were some gains made here in the attacks in November 1916.
There are a number of cemeteries to see in this area. Redan Ridge No. 2, the largest of the three cemeteries named after this ridge, can be found off a rough track leading to the left, opposite farm buildings. This track is not really negotiable by car, so it is best to walk to the cemetery. The cemetery has just three long rows of graves here, with a triangular apex where the Cross of Sacrifice is located.
There are just over 250 graves here, and almost all the headstones have two or more names, often with two different badges engraved to respresent the different regiments. One stone in row B has just a cross on alone, probably because the number of names on the surrounding stones did not allow for a religious symbol on each headstone. Just over 150 of those buried here are identified, and the cemetery is one of those which was made by V Corps in the spring of 1917. Like others, it is located in what was No Mans Land during the summer of 1916. One man buried here was a regular soldier: Serjeant J. H. Gristwood served with the 2nd Highland Light Infantry, and had eleven years service when he was killed on the 13th of November 1916. His name is one of two on a headstone in row B, along with Private A. E. Ward of the Hampshire Regiment, a 1st of July casualty.
Continuing along the road, a small track leads off to the left signposted to Redan Ridge No. 1 and No. 3 Cemeteries. There is a calvary where the track leads off.
The first cemetery reached along this track is Redan Ridge No. 3. This is a small cemetery, and no register is kept here. The graves are set in three rows at right angles to the entrance.
Rows A and B at the back are complete rows, with the headstones close together, whereas row C contains only four stones, which are more separated. The last two headstones in Row C however commemorate seven and five unknown soldiers respectively.
These two headstones in Redan Ridge No. 3 Cemetery commemorate five and seven unknown soldiers who are buried here
Redan Ridge No. 3 is just behind the position of the 1916 German front line trenches here. To the left and right of the entrance are thirteen special memorials to men known to be buried here. Their graves were destroyed later by shellfire. With one exception, the known burials here date from mid-November 1916, with many from the 13th November when there were successful attacks near here. There is one grave from the 1st of July: L/Cpl F. Purdue of the Hampshire Regiment.
It is possible to see another five cemeteries from Redan Ridge No. 3. Standing at the gate of the cemetery, you can see another straight ahead. Looking left, at almost 90 degrees, across a field, a second Cross of Sacrifice is visible, with a third a little more to the left and further away. If you then walk to the back of the cemetery, the top of Serre Road No. 2 Cross of Sacrifice is visible, and then to the left is Redan Ridge No. 1. This shows the concentration of cemeteries in this area.
Continuing along the track, this actually crosses the position of the German front line trenches in 1916, and then moves on into what was then No Mans Land. Past a rusting farm cart, to the left is a beautifully maintained grass path which leads to Redan Ridge No. 1 Cemetery. There is a register at this cemetery, and the graves are grouped in three long rows with the headstones touching, apart from one about a quarter of the way along row B.
This cemetery is located in what was No Mans Land. Many of the burials date from the November attack here, although there are also a fair number from the 1st of July. Overall, there are just over 150 burials here, nearly half of which are unidentified. The headstones re placed so close together that in most cases they are touching.
On the headstone of Second Lieutenant Henry Davies of the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry is the inscription 'A friend of children: he died that the children of today may have peace tomorrow'. Private George Johnston was just 18 when he was killed in action on the 27th of November 1916. His mother, Margaret Johnston of Bilbo Cottage in Port Erroll, Aberdeenshire chose the inscription for his headstone 'Your glorious work is over dear son. Rest in Peace. From his Mother'. The inscription on Nicholas Nicholson's headstone is much shorter: 'God's finger touched him and he slept'.
Headstones touching in Redan Ridge No. 1 Cemetery
Near the cemetery when I visited last (may 2008) were piles of gleaming white chalk dug from the ground for some reason; seeing there shows how difficult it must have been to conceal the digging trenches in the chalky ground of the Somme. If you return back along the track to the minor road, this runs past the back of the large Serre Road No. 2 Cemetery and joins the D919 opposite Serre Road No. 1 Cemetery. This area is covered on the Serre page.
North-East of the Village
In the centre of the village of Beaumont Hamel, where the D163 and the D163 meet, a small road leads off to the north-east. Green CWGC signs show that this leads to two cemeteries: Waggon Road and Munich Trench Cemeteries. The small road leading uphill to them was known as Waggon Road during the war. The first cemetery reached is Waggon Road Cemetery, located off to the right of the road.
This was also known as V Corps Cemetery No. 10 (and this name is inscribed on the cemetery gatepost). The cemetery is quite small, witth 195 soldiers buried here in six fairly regular rows, although the headstones are not evenly spaced. Row F at the front is a shorter row. Of these men, 36 are unidentified, and 46 belong to the 11th Border Regiment which was in action near here in both July and November 1916. On the headstone of an unknown soldier here is a somewhat unusual wording: "A British Private of the Great War, Name unknown" rather than the more common "Known Unto God".
A little further along the road, this time off to the left is Munich Trench British Cemetery. Like Wagon Road, this too was made by V Corps in Spring 1917, and also has an alternative name: V Corps Cemetery No. 8. The more usual name was taken from the Munich Trench which was captured by the 7th Division on the 11th of January 1917. This trench crossed the road near the cemetery and ran parralell to the track as it ran north-east towards Serre.
This is the smaller of the two cemeteries: there are 126 buried here, 26 of whom are unknown. Just to the west of the cemetery in the fields is where Hector Hugo Monro was killed on the 14th of November 1916. Munro was better known under his pen-name of 'Saki', and has no known grave; he is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.
These two cemeteries are very isolated and peaceful. The road leading to them turns into a cart track just beyond them, and so there is no through traffic. There are good views around, and this is a lovely spot where I have eaten my picnic lunch to the sound of bird song and little else.

The average age of the Infantryman is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances, is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent high school graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a 10 year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away.
He listens to rock and roll or hip hop or rap or jazzs or swing and 155mm Howitzers. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk.
He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less - in the dark.
He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity.
He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job.
He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime. He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.
Just as his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept his country free for over 200 years.
He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding.
Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
A short time later, Christopher Lash, a gifted former FBI forensic psychologist, receives an urgent plea from Eden to perform a quick – and quiet – investigation into the deaths. Lash's psychological autopsy reveals nothing suspicious, but inadvertently dredges up the memories of a searing personal tragedy he has kept at bay for years.
The situation changes suddenly when a second Eden couple is found dead -- by all appearances, another double suicide. Now Eden – particularly Richard Silver, the company's brilliant and reclusive founder – has no choice but to grant Lash unprecedented access to its most guarded secrets if he is to have any chance of determining what is going wrong. The hidden world he discovers is a stunning labyrinth of artificial intelligence, creative genius, and a melding of technology that does indeed, to Lash's surprise, deliver on Eden's promise to its clients: the guarantee of a perfect, lifelong mate. But Lash's involvement in the investigation becomes more personal and dangerous than he could have imagined, nearly as soon as it begins.
With tremendous imagination and skill, master thriller-writer Lincoln Child renders a setting too frighteningly believable not to be real. Infused with relentless suspense and a riveting pace, DEATH MATCH is Child at his best.

ZAPATA, TEXAS – Two things were certain Thursday morning during the take-off of the first day of the 2013 Elite Series Rigid Industries Falcon Slam.
One, the place was crowded with boat trailers in parking lots and also with boats on the water.
And two, the guys who took off first at 7:30 a.m. read like a Who's Who in the bass fishing world.
Consider the first 10 guys leaving this morning – Bill Lowen, Cliff Pace, Davy Hite, Randy Howell, Brent Chapman, Matt Reed, Marty Robinson, Tommy Biffle, Keith Poche and Bobby Lane. In that number, you'll find guys who have won Bassmaster Classics and Angler of the Year Awards and numerous pro events. You also have a couple of guys who many are thinking have perhaps the best chance to win this derby because of their familiarity with the fishery.
Normally, a chance to be first on a body of water such as Falcon Lake would be like winning the lottery. After all, the place has produced the heaviest winning total in Bassmaster Elite Series history and is world-renowned for its ability to produce 10-pounders, and larger – WAY larger.
But most pros this week have said they don't expect the same 100-pound totals this week, or if that IS the winning weight, most think it won't be much larger. They say the water level has been down, and the fish aren't moved fully offshore yet this year.
Of course, they could be pulling everyone's collective legs, trying to keep the biggest of the fish for themselves, but their comments by and large dictate otherwise.
So make that three certainties at today's take-off – no one is certain how this hallowed lake is going to play.
"If you were fishing offshore, it would probably help you to have the Number 1 spot," Lowen said while preparing to back down Thursday morning. "But I haven't found anything really out there, so I'm just going to be flipping all day. I don't know if the Number 1 helps me at all."
What if the tournament was being held a few weeks later and the water a few feet higher? Some have suggested that might continue the legendary bite at Falcon.
"It all depends," he said. "Later would be better because the fish would be more out on the offshore structure. That's where it may be the biggest key. But whatever it is, it is. All we can do is fish."
Cliff Pace, the reigning Bassmaster Classic champion who took off second Thursday morning, reiterated Lowen's take – with a caveat.
"The early draw would be great if you can find what you need to find," Pace said. "I've had a pretty good practice. It's never a bad thing to have an early draw, but you see the thing is, you only have a chance to do that twice in a season....I said when I won the Classic that it wasn't go to change me and how I fished, but I lied. I kind of spent my entire practice offshore here to find fish to win. And I just never did put that together. Last year, I would have spent more time fishing shallow, trying to find a pattern. But I have a few places offshore ... I'm going to go try them and see how it works. If it doesn't, I'll have to lay down and go flipping."
Chapman, the 2012 Toyota Angler of the Year, said he wishes he would have some special spot he could hit early. Didn't happen, he said.
"I wish I had something awesome that I could have started on," said Chapman, who went off fifth. "I don't really have that so it's not as exciting. At this point, I'd rather be in that last flight both days so I can have that extra half hour to 45 minutes of fishing time. But, it is what it is. And at least I know if I do know where I want to start, I should be able to get there first."
And how about you, Matt Reed? You fish on this lake for approximately 80 days a year and are a pre-tournament favorite, for sure. Does starting sixth in the Falcon Slam help you?
"It's funny," the Madisonville, Texas, pro said. "I really wanted an early draw before I got here, but it's kind of confused me. I have a spot where I think I gamble and catch a really big size. But I think I'm going to stay somewhat safe and hopefully I can get on it later. When we came in here, I really thought I'd have a school of fish to go to that would make me happy to have an early draw. Then I got it and it was like 'Man, that one spot has some big ones, I know it has some big ones.' But I'm going to wait, maybe that's just too big a gamble.
"I may have to try to get a good sack and then go over there and try for the really big ones."
Reed knows that if he waits to go for the spot he feels has the biggest fish, he's taking a huge risk of losing it to a competitor.
"You're darn right that can happen," he said. "These guys don't miss anything."

SRT Motorsports Sebring Winter Test Report
Posted by: newsla on Feb 22, 2014 - 04:08 PM
SRT Motorsports Sebring Winter Test Report
The SRT ® (Street and Racing Technology) Motorsports No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R recorded the third-fastest overall GTLM-class lap time of 2:00.496 (111.738 mph) during two days of testing at Sebring International Raceway that concluded on Friday in preparation for the upcoming 12 Hours of Sebring, March 12 - 15.
SRT Motorsports drivers Jonathan Bomarito and Marc Goossens participated in all four scheduled practice sessions in the No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R on Thursday and Friday. Each day featured morning and afternoon test sessions that spanned more than two hours each in preparation for the second event of the IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship schedule at Florida's legendary Sebring road course.
* The SRT Motorsports No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R recorded the third-fastest GTLM overall lap time of 2:00.496 (111.738 mph) across four test sessions in Thursday afternoon's test. The lap was also the second-quickest GTLM time of that session.
* The team's second-best showing in one of the sessions came in Friday afternoon's fourth and final practice of the test when the No. 93 SRT Viper team posted a best lap time of 2:01.099 (111.182 mph) to rank fifth among GTLM entries.
* The two-day test was the final IMSA-sanctioned GTLM test session for series competitors prior to the 12 Hours of Sebring, March 12 - 15.
* The SRT Viper GTS-Rs finished fifth and 10th at Sebring in 2013 and the race marked the first event in the first-full season for SRT Motorsports since returning to sports car racing with the Viper.
* In the 2014 season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona, the No. 91 and 93 Viper GTS-Rs finished third and sixth, respectively, and the No. 91 claimed the GTLM pole position. Both SRT Viper entries and all six SRT Motorsports drivers led the GTLM class during the race.
* The No. 91 SRT Viper GTS-R did not participate in the Sebring Winter Test.
SRT Motorsports Driver and Team Quotes
Jonathan Bomarito, driver, No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R
How was the test?
"It was a very positive test just from a systems point of view. We had a lot of things to try - not necessarily making the car go as quick as we could. Toward the end of the day, we started putting all those pieces together and working on pace and race stuff, but we got through a lot of stuff. The guys did an awesome job. The car ran perfect for two days and I think we have a good race car. A couple of our competitors went pretty quick there at the end, but we're still pretty optimistic and positive looking forward."
What did you learn in last year's 12 Hours of Sebring?
"Last year in the 93 car was my first 12 Hours of Sebring. It's a tough race. You think, 'Oh, well 12 hours is half as long as a 24, so it should be half as hard.' It's equally as hard as a 24-hour race. It's very physical. It's bumpy. It's usually pretty warm and humid and takes a toll on the man and machine, but I learned a lot as a driver what to do physically for the race. We had some bad luck here last year. We had a drive pin issue - we lost some laps and it kind of ended our race - but we pushed through and we had a good car and I feel very confident for the race coming up."
Marc Goossens, driver, No. 91 SRT Viper GTS-R
How did you prepare for the test?
"In the beginning of this week, we were in Markham close to Toronto for simulator work. Spent some good time with Kuno (Wittmer, co-driver of the No. 91) together and Matt (Bejnarowicz, lead engineer of the No. 93), Jim Kasprzak (track engineer for the No. 93) and Tyler (Hook, track engineer for the No. 91) were there to help with engineering. We learned a lot in the simulator and then we came here, carried it over, tried to confirm and then take on the next step with regards to the testing program. I think everything is on schedule. We just have to bridge that gap to the leaders now."
How was the test?
"We were kind of surprised by the speed the top guys were doing in GTLM - really surprised - but then again, you never know what people are testing when you come here for two days. We had a nice test program laid out prior to coming here. I'm not going to tell you that we panicked yesterday, but that first morning session with all the red flags there was a lot of stoppages going on. We were kind of worried that if that would have kept going on for two days we would have a hard time going through our program. Luckily enough today, the weather stayed good and we didn't have so many red flags. From everything that we worked on prior to coming here - the whole program that we lined up - we could go through all that. With what we learned and what we found for an ideal platform, we could actually start working on fine-tuning toward the end, but it's all a matter of what the track conditions are. Yesterday to today with the heat, it was such a big difference. Once again, we were very, very surprised about the performance of the guys in the front. Hopefully we have enough for them by the team we come here for the race."Sebring Test
Bill Riley, lead engineer, No. 91 SRT Viper GTS-R
How was the test?
"I think the team worked well. The cars all ran pretty flawlessly - we didn't have any mechanical issues to keep us from running, which is pretty good. The car had a good test and ran a lot of laps. We went through a bunch of different things and we're not where we want to be speed-wise, but the car is comfortable to drive. We just have to see what happens for the 12 Hours. I think we have a strong pace, so we can for run a long time, but we just have to see - on ultimate pace, we'll just have to see where we're at. All of the normal unknowns."
How does this test allow you to prepare your race setup?
"Setup is a challenge here at Sebring for a lot of reasons. You have (turn) 17, which has some huge bumps to deal with. Turn one is always challenging and then you have the pavement that changes from the backside of the track to the concrete part of the track and then you have the IndyCar rubber that they put down on the test course on top. You're really fighting quite a few different challenges throughout this event."
Matt Bejnarowicz, lead engineer, No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R
Did you get to where you need to be during the test?
"Our competitors are looking pretty fast, but we definitely got pretty happy drivers and I think we made a lot of small steps in the test. Whether it's going to be enough for the race, we'll have to find out."
Have there been any surprises?
"No, not really, actually. We unloaded and we're getting to the point where we've got a lot of experience under our belt and we've been to tracks several times now, so we unloaded at a pretty good state and our drivers were pretty happy right of the bat. I think we progressed through the test. I think we probably chased the track a little bit. I don't know if our lap times reflect the improvements we made in the car, but I wouldn't say there were any big surprises. The big unknown I think is a little bit of tire compatibility - we're not really sure how the Michelin tires work with Continental rubber down on the track and I think we keep on seeing a little bit of influence there, but that's hard to quantify."

Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani spoke to reporters yesterday at the Expediency Council building. The Expediency Council is an advisory body which he heads. Rafsanjani spoke about Iran's foreign policy and relation to Israel, his predictions about Iran's current crisis and his potential candidacy.
Rafsanjani said Iran needs to "repair its foreign policy." He added, "We are not at war with Israel," though he elaborated "if the Arab countries are at war with them, we'll help them." Iranian authorities have said they would accept agreements the Palestinians make with Israel but have also said that they would support any group that fights them.
The hard-line Raja News website responded harshly to Rafsanjani's statements on Israel. They wrote, somewhat sarcastically, that "it doesn't appear that Hashemi, who accompanied and wrote the historiography of Ayatollah Khomeini, has forgotten his (Khomeini's) approach towards the fake Israeli regime, as Khomeini said toward his regime 'Israel must be erased from the scene.'" In fact, the title of the article compares the two statements by presenting Khomeini's comments on top, with Rafsanjani's on bottom.
Raja also added: "Yet, maybe these statements from Hashemi are not that unexpected due to this support of those who chanted 'neither Gaza nor Lebanon' during the 2009 sedition." The chant "neither Gaza nor Lebanon, my life for Iran" became popular during the 2009 postelection protests. It is criticism aimed at the Iranian government's support and attention toward Hezbollah and Hamas in favor of Iranian domestic issues.
Rafsanjani also highlighted his approach to foreign policy when he had considerably more influence in the first decade of the revolution. "During the war it was my recommendation to accept the resolution to end the war," he said. It's believed that it was Rafsanjani who persuaded Ayatollah Khomeini to accept the UN cease-fire with Iraq which ended one of the deadliest wars of the 20th century.
Although he was the parliament speaker during the war years he was a close confidant and adviser to Khomeini. Some hard-liners in Iran have criticized Rafsanjani for his advice to Khomeini to end the war.
Rafsanjani appeared to be answering his critics when he said that "if the resolution wasn't signed Tabriz, Tehran, and Esfahan (three of Iran's largest cities) would have been attacked with chemical weapons from airplanes borrowed from France and Russia and we would have had many casualties."
He also highlighted his actions when he was president and Saddam attacked Kuwait. "After Saddam invaded Kuwait some gentlemen said let's go support Saddam. But we didn't support Saddam and we even accepted Kuwaiti refugees and the world trusted us and the sanctions were lifted," he said.
Rafsanjani also said that in 2008 he spoke with a commission that approached him to address his problems with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He said he "spoke for 2½ hours where he listed all the problems of yesterday, today and tomorrow." He claimed that these meetings were taped but he will not reveal them for the sake of "unity."
As far as the presidential elections, Rafsanjani said: "There is no need for me to run. Of course I'm not saying I'm not running. But I'm saying it's not necessary for an 80 year old man to run."

Nicki Minaj was spotted leaving Katsuya wearing this mixed print ensemble. Want it?
Top: You can snag a top similar to Nicki's at your local H&M. They have tons of stripped and polka dot crop tops in a variety of bright fun shades like fuchsia, yellow and baby blue. Simply pair it with a white tank top.
Bottoms: Nicki Minaj's zebra print leggings aren't as hard to find as you would think. Shoot over to zappos.com and check out a fun pair from Nicole Miller.
Shoes: If you're not ready to drop $490 on Nicki's Tsumori Chisato Multicolor Rubis Wedge Sandals, that's okay. Every shoe store is flooded with festive wedge sandals. Nicki's rocking five inches of fab, by the way.
Hair: Depending on your region, it might be a little too hot for a wig, so consider getting your "personality piece" cut into this style.
Lips: A pink pout works for practically any summer look. Not into a pink that bright? Swipe on one coat of your fave lipstick and tone it down with a nude gloss.
