23 March - 1 April
In the PTT (satellite tagged) flock, we have three birds on the wing and no adults (either satellite or cell-tower) left in South America. Belle (Martha's Vineyard 2010 juvenile) got her earliest start this year, leaving the Rio Madeira on 14 March. In her first trip north in 2012, she left on 13 April. The next year she headed home on 25 March. She crossed the Amazon on the 16th and the Rio Negro on the 17th. On the 18th she was in northern Brazil just short of the Venezuelan border. By the 21st, she had reached the southern edge of the eastern arm of the Andes mountains. She was about 1,300 miles into an approximately 4,000 mile trip back to her natal range in Martha's Vineyard. She crossed the Caribbean on the 23rd and arrived in Haiti on the 24th. She made her usual detour east (the wrong way) to a lake in the Haitian Rift where she has stopped for a top-off all three years she's migrated north. Our next signal from her should be somewhere in Cuba.
Ron (DC) started his trip home on 19 March and flew right past his neighbor Rodney (they nest on opposite sides of a bridge across the Anacostia River in the shadow of the DC baseball stadium). His trip through the Caribbean was rather unexceptional, other than hitting Hispaniola at Cabo Beata, which is the major launching point for birds heading south in the fall and rarely visited by north-bound birds in the spring. He's now in Florida fishing some canals at the edge of the Everglades (zoom in on the end of his track).
Rodney won this year's "last one out of South America, turn off the lights" award this year. He left his wintering area on the 24th. He broke with the usual pattern of going north all the way to one of the peninsulas on either side of the Gulf of Venezuela and kicked off into the Caribbean about 9AM on the 27th. He was heading northwest. After 9 hours, he made a strange turn west and flew that way for a couple of hours before his GPS unit stopped collecting locations. He then corrected for that turn and headed northwest all the way to the Cayman Islands. As he approached Grand Cayman, he had flown 775 miles and been on the wing for at least 32 hours. Did he stop and rest? Heck no! He even deviated to avoid Grand Cayman and flew another 9 hours until he got to Cuba, winning some sort of Macho Award to go with his other one. He spent the night there and then pushed on north. Then, rather than push on north and cross the Florida Straights, he took a very strange turn southeast and headed back down the typical fall migration route! Just when we thought we'd seen it all!
Donovan (NH) is the leader of the pack (vroom-vroom). He started north on 10 March. He followed the typical path north to Cuba. Oddly, he overshot the turn to the Florida Keys and went all the way to Havanna. He spent He left Cuba in the midmorning of the 22nd flying a bit west of north and thus missed the Keys. He then had to fly across the whole Gulf of Mexico, making landfall on the Florida panhandle on the 23rd.
North Fork Bob started his 4th spring migration that we have followed on the 23rd. In previous years, he started migrating on the 21st, 20th, and 15th. He's in the middle of Cuba as of March 30th.
Snowy (Martha's Vineyard) has not started his second migration north from his wintering area in Cuba. He surprised us last fall by short-stopping his migration and spending the winter in an area he discovered on his first trip north from Venezuela, where he spent his first winter.
(Older updates are in chronological order)
31 August
Not much going on with our adult birds carrying PTTs. The one bird that is moving was a big surprise. Snowy, tagged as a fledgling on Chappaquiddick Island in 2011, came back to his home on Martha's Vineyard and commuted back and forth between the Vineyard and Cape Cod. Earlier in the summer he(?) moved down to a small reservoir in southwestern Connecticut. He spent a few weeks there and then, on 14 August, surprised us by starting migration.
When we tagged the bird, we thought it was a male, but it was a borderline call. It was large for a male, but small for a female. With an August initiation of her(?) second migration, we're thinking Snowy is a female. Adult female Ospreys start migrating in August. Adult males usually head south in September.
Snowy wasted little time getting down to Cuba. She went past a spot where she spent a month on her first trip north this spring and circle back to it. It obviously is a good fishing spot. Birds on their way south in the fall are in no hurry. If they have a good fishing hole, there's no reason not to stop and fatten up.
Nobody else is doing much of anything. North Fork Bob is spending some time at the nest pole that he's been trying to take over for a couple of years--probably because the resident pair has taken off.
Belle has continued to commute back and forth between the Vineyard, Cape Cod, and the eastern shore of Buzzards Bay.
There's a cold front expected next week, so that should get some birds moving.
7 September
Apparently, not one of our adult males was inspired by the nice cold front that has brought us fabulous fall days here in early September. Rodney (DC) moved south into Virginia, but seems to have stalled there. We may have missed some movement, as we only hear from these guys every three days, so one or more of them could be further south. We'll find out when they next text home.
13 September
Still not much movement from the adults. Snowy is still in his marsh in Cuba, and Rodney (DC) is now southeast of Snowy, leading the pack of satellite-tagged adults. Looking back at the records for our veterans, North Fork Bob doesn't usually get going until about the 1st of October, so no surprise there. Sr. Bones started his previous fall migrations on September 10th, 15th, and 16th, so he's ready to go. The cold front coming in this week should get him moving.
18 September
We finally got our birds in gear. Sr. Bones started his 4th migration south with a transmitter, leaving Nantucket on the 14th. In previous years he started on the 10th, 15th, and 16th--a creature of habit. He's now in South Carolina, along with Ron (DC), who jumped on the migration bandwagon on the 14th as well. His neighbor Rodney made the jump from Cuba to Hispaniola and should be ready to cross the Caribbean any day. The weather is perfect--no storms anywhere on the horizon, which is a very good thing!
Up in New Hampshire, Donovan got going on the 17th and was in CT when we last heard from him. Belle, our 2010 juvenile from the Vineyard, started her 3rd southward migration on the 17th. Along with DJ and Icarius she took a shortcut I've never seen before from Martha's Vineyard to Virginia out over the Atlantic. Our last signal from her was out over open water, but not far from land so we're not too worried. Nonetheless, the 3-day gaps between downloads always make us nervous!
Mack, up in northern NH, and North Fork Bob (Long Island) have yet to get a move on. This is the first year for Mack with a PTT, so we don't know what he normally does, but Bob is always late. Some years he's waited until October to get going. He, once again is camped out at a marsh where there's an active pole. He keeps trying to get established there, but always gets run out of town in the spring. This is what happens in dense Osprey populations, where the average age at first breeding can be upwards of 6 years old.
Snowy is having so much fun catching fish in his big marsh along Cuba's north shore that he is apparently in no hurry to get moving, which seems to be his style.
20 September
Huge news here. Belle made an amazing 56-hour non-stop flight from Cape Cod to Cuba! She was going over 40 mph for the first 11 hours, then flew over eastern Virginia and North Carolina at night and kept right on going until she got to Cuba--1,590 miles in the air. Wow. She's my gal!
Sr. Bones started his 4th migration south with a transmitter, leaving Nantucket on the 14th, and is poking his way down the east coast. Ron (DC), who jumped on the migration bandwagon on the 14th as well, is in FL. His neighbor Rodney made the jump from Cuba to Hispaniola and has crossed the Caribbean. Well, we assume he has. Our last fix from him was just north of the South American coastline. The weather is perfect--no storms anywhere on the horizon, so we expect he made it. Lots of cliff-hangers this time of year with our satellite birds, who only text home every three days.
Up in New Hampshire, Donovan got going on the 17th and is now west of D.C. His fellow NH male, Mack, is still way upstate, waiting for who knows what to get going.
North Fork Bob (Long Island) have yet to get a move on, which is par for the course for him. Some years he's waited until October to get going. He, once again is camped out at a marsh where there's an active pole. He keeps trying to get established there, but always gets run out of town in the spring. This is what happens in dense Osprey populations, where the average age at first breeding can be upwards of 6 years old.
Snowy is having so much fun catching fish in his big marsh along Cuba's north shore that he is apparently in no hurry to get moving, which seems to be his style.
30 September
We lost Mack, one of the adult males we tagged this spring up in northern New Hampshire. There's no real way to know what happened to him, but I call this "death by sleeping in the woods" and always suspect Great-horned Owls.
The rest of the "flock" is doing fine. Sr. Bones (Nantucket) is back in his mountain valley retreat in Colombia. North Fork Bob (Long Island) left late for an adult male (Sept 23rd) but early by his standards (one year he didn't start south until Oct. 1). Once again, in late summer he settled down at a marsh with an Osprey pole. I think he spends all winter just hoping that the resident male will not return from his vacation. It's really fascinating to watch this process--something we could never observe without the technology of the satellite transmitters.
Both Bob and Bones are record setters. They are on their 4th trip south with one of our radios. Rodney (DC) has apparently settled down in a very Osprey-friendly looking spot along the northern coast of Colombia, just north of Barranquila at a place called the Swamp of the Little Beaches (Cienaga de las Playitas) at the mouth of the Magdalena River. His neighbor Ron is still up in Cuba. The remaining adult male, Donovan (NH), is in Haiti. Rodney is about 20 miles northwest of where Coley, an adult male from Long Island's Jamaica Bay tagged last spring by Bob Kennedy, spent his winter.
Our two surviving juveniles from earlier years are doing fine. We're really excited that Belle (2010 Martha's Vineyard juvenile) has successfully crossed the Caribbean for a record (for our juveniles) third time. We really, really want her to make it through this cycle and find a mate next spring! Belle flew 2,040 miles (4,050 km) from Cape Cod to South America in 4 hours less than 6 days. I'm pretty sure that's a record that can't be beaten!] Snowy (2011 Martha's Vineyard juvenile) is still having fun catching fish in his swamp on the north shore of Cuba. He spent a month there on the way north in the spring, and is in no hurry to get back to Venezuela, so he's just hanging out.
7 October
In the PTT (satellite tagged) flock, Sr. Bones was the first to find his way back to his winter range. He left Nantucket on 14 Sept and got to his regular winter spot on 5 Oct. This was his fourth trip south with a transmitter. Rodney (DC adult male) is in Venezuela. He arrived in South America on 19 Sept. He then went south and ran into the eastern chain of the Andes. He went all the way north to Lake Maracaibo before he found a way across the mountains. He followed the same path that Belle used to get to "the other side." Belle is the first bird tagged as a juvenile to make the fall trip across the Caribbean three times. You go, girl!
Rodney's neighbor Ron made it across the Caribbean and is now in Venezuela. The weather looks good, so he shouldn't have a problem. North Fork Bob (Long Island) has settled down in Cuba for a while. Snowy (2011 juvenile, Martha's Vineyard) is still(!) hunkered down in the swamp in Cuba where he spent a month or so on his way north this spring. He arrived there this fall (he actually had to backtrack to get to his favorite rest stop) on 26 August. Donovan (NH) is in the Dominican Republic. He overshot the turn to the south that would have gotten him down to Cabo Beata, where almost all adult Ospreys launch for their trip across the Caribbean to South America.
Osprey CSI
My colleague in New Hampshire Osprey work, Iain Macleod, and his wife Susan went to the woods where we last got signals from Mackenzie, an adult male tagged this spring along the Connecticut River in northern New Hampshire. Iain and Susan found a huge pile of feathers, Mackenzie's leg with the band still on it, some other bones, but no transmitter. So it was clear that a predator had taken Mackenzie.
So, who killed Mackenzie? We usually ascribe these "death-by-woodlot" disappearances to Great-horned Owls. But this one seems different. Owls don't usually do this much plucking of their prey. Accipiters (short-winged, long-tailed forest dwelling raptors) do. So, the crime scene had the talon-prints of an Accipiter. But which one. The only Accipiter big and strong enough to take down an Osprey would be a Goshawk, and just when Mackenzie died, Goshawks had started to show up in the New Hampshire woods, migrating south from somewhere up north. Goshawks are big, strong, ferocious birds. Ask anyone who's climbed up to a Goshawk nest. They are fearless and more than capable of taking down prey larger than themselves.
We'll never get a conviction, but we certainly have a prime suspect in the case. A Great-horned Owl is still certainly a "species of interest" in the case.
14 October
One thing hasn't changed here - Snowy (2011 Martha's Vineyard juvenile on his 2nd trip south) seems completely uninterested in leaving his swamp in Cuba. OK by me if he bucks the trend and stays there all winter. It's a proven safe and productive spot. If he stayed, he wouldn't have to deal with the crap shoot of crossing the Caribbean in the fall. Most likely, he will eventually get up and head south across the Caribbean to the Venezuelan llanos.
Sr. Bones (Nantucket) skipped a download date, which suggests he died or his transmitter failed. This is his 4th year, so I won't rule out transmitter failure. We may have to wait until spring to find out. Donovan (NH adult male) made it all the way to the Virgin Islands and then headed south but aborted his Caribbean crossing and retreated to Puerto Rico. We've had one other bird start across the Caribbean and bail on the trip, but he didn't get as far south. I suspect Donovan will try again. North Fork Bob (Long Island male 2010) is in the D.R. He's always late getting to his winter home, so I'm not surprised. Our 2 DC adults tagged this spring, Rodney and Ron, are on their way south through Venezuela, following in Belle's (2010 Martha's Vineyard juvenile) slipstream. She's already south of the Amazon, 300 miles north of her winter range on the Madeira River at the southern edge of the Brazilian Amazon.
28 October - 19 November

Most likely, he will eventually get up and head south across the Caribbean to the Venezuelan llanos.
Sr. Bones (Nantucket) hasn't sent data since around 9 October, which means he died or his transmitter failed. This is his 4th year, so I won't rule out transmitter failure. We may have to wait until spring to find out.
Donovan (NH adult male) made it all the way to the Virgin Islands and then headed south on 9 October but aborted his Caribbean crossing and retreated to Puerto Rico. We've had one other bird start across the Caribbean and bail on the trip, but he didn't get as far south. Donovan's trip was really interesting. After bailing out on his crossing, he settled down in Ponce, Puerto Rico, for a while. On 17 October he started again, passing over St. Croix (again) and then made it across the Caribbean in a straight shot. He's now in the strange sand-dunes of west central Venezuela, where so many of our birds have been, although most of them have been coming in from the northwest after landing in Colombia and working over the eastern cordillera of the Andes. View detailed maps for Donovan (and our other New Hampshire birds Artoo and Bergen) on the Squam Lakes Natural Sciences Center's website.
North Fork Bob (Long Island male 2010) surprised me by going all the way to the eastern end of the D.R. before heading south. He's a seasoned veteran and knows by now that the quickest route south is from Cabo Beata, about midway across the island of Hispaniola. Very few adults miss this turn. He left the D.R. on his Caribbean crossing at exactly, and I mean exactly--to within minutes, the same time as Artoo, one of our New Hampshire juveniles on 19 October. We expect juveniles to "miss the turn" and not go south where all the adults do--this is their first time and they don't have a map. When Bob and Artoo left the D.R. they were about 20 miles apart.
Our two DC adults tagged this spring, Rodney and Ron, are both safely across the Caribbean in South America. Ron followed Belle's (2010 Martha's Vineyard juvenile) track across the rainforests of Amazonia and seems to have settled down on the banks of the Amazon River. Rodney is in Venezuela, moving around quite a bit. More than we usually see when an adult arrives at its wintering location. I won't be surprised to see Rodney move again.
Belle is safe and sound in her winter hide-out along the banks of the Madeira River at the southern edge of the Brazilian Amazon. She followed a similar route to the one she took in her first trip north in the spring of 2012, and her second trip south in the fall of 2012. She is our first juvenile to make three trips south.
In this map, we see all of Belle's tracks since her first trip south in 2010.
9 Feb 2014
North Fork Bob, as usual, took a while to get up to his winter range in the Guianan Shield highlands of southern Venezuela. He arrived in the Venezuelan llanos on 22 Oct. After a couple of weeks there, he climbed up into the highlands in southern Venezuela on Nov. 4. We figured he was settled down for the winter. But then on 16 Nov. he returned to the llanos (did he forget something?). After 18 days down there, he flew back to his regular spot, where he's been ever since.
23 March 2014
At this point, Belle, Ron, and Donovan were the only birds heading north and not much going on with our other birds. Sr. Bones' transmitter occasionally sends us a sign of life, but it seems to be on its last legs. (Although sometimes transmitters will turn back on for months at a time.) Maybe this year we'll be able to retrap him and get the transmitter back.
The first birds should be heading north in a month or so!

When not enjoying their cabin in north Georgia our friends live in this stunning home near Fairhope, Alabama. (A wonderful place to visit if you haven't been!) Shawn and I were fortunate enough to have been guests in their home and we both fell in love with it. I have told so many people about it because it is so special. The couple who have a daughter and grandchildren who live nearby, worked closely with their architect to design the home to really fit the way that they lived.
I always appreciate it so much when people allow us a glimpse inside their homes, and this one in particular is a real treat with so many wonderful ideas. Be sure to check the magazine out for yourself. Thank you to our friends who opened their doors to Southern Lady Magazine so we could all enjoy a tour!

I spent a delightful day in Columbus a couple of weeks ago.� I started with a stop at the Visitors Center.� Its gift shop is outstanding � it features lots of locally made art, jewelry and gifts.� But the real attraction for me on this day, was a much looked forward to visit to Zaharakos Ice Cream Parlor.
I had heard a lot about the amazing restoration that had taken place and wanted to see it for myself.� Happily, it even exceeded all of the accolades I had heard.
The entire ice cream parlor is charming with a gigantic bar with mahogany, mirrors and marble.� At the center of the dining room, stands an enormous self-playing organ.� The entire restaurant looks like a movie set location.� The experience, from the atmosphere to the home-made ice cream, is very memorable.� The menu offers a nice variety of sandwiches and soups.� Zaharakos is known for its signature �gom sandwich,� a sloppy joe style treat.
During my visit, I had a chance to talk with the owner, Tony Moravec.� I learned that he stepped forward to purchase Zaharakos when it closed in 2006 after 106 years in business.� Since that time, he has refurbished the interior�s woodwork and onyx soda fountain as well as recreated a nineteenth century storefront.� He also tracked down a 1908 organ that had been sold and restored it as well.� He has approached the entire project with painstaking attention to detail and it really shows in the restored Zaharakos.

Zaharakos is open Monday-Friday from 8am – 8 pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 9am – 8 pm.

Ballarat looks to poach Stawell Gift
The Victorian city of Ballarat has made a bold bid to poach Australia's most famous foot race, the Stawell Gift.
The Stawell Athletic Club says it has received a $1.25 million offer from Ballarat to host the race for five years from next year.
The club says it will carefully consider the proposal and make a decision within the next fortnight.
The Stawell Athletic Club's David Culbert says a decision will be made on whether to move the Gift, run it for another year and then fold, or scale it back to a picnic event with reduced prize money and no television coverage.
"Do you stay with every possibility of dying or do you entertain a move ... it's not an easy decision and it's one that the club is not going to rush into that's for sure," he said.
Secretary Ian Lawrie described the offer as generous and a wonderful recognition of the Stawell gift "as an iconic Australian sporting event".
"This decision is, without question, the most difficult ever undertaken by the committee of the Stawell Athletic Club," he said in a statement.
"The financial viability and challenges facing the Stawell Athletic Club have been regularly discussed and have been obvious during our own ongoing business planning.
"The 2009 carnival was very successful, yet despite near record sponsorship, crowds being up and outstanding media coverage the club still struggles to operate at break-even.
"The costs of running the carnival continue to escalate, we cannot afford to attract international athletes or adequately market the event and the club has limited reserves."
The chief executive of the Ballarat City Council, Anthony Schinck, says it has the financial capacity to help retain the race in western Victoria.
"We see this as our responsibility, really, the City of Ballarat is in a position and has the capacity to support an important event like this," he said.
"We have been, as I said, made aware that the event is in some difficulty and therefore we decided to put forward an offer that would secure the event."

Here is a VIDEO of that moment MAGUFULI told UHURU the ugly truth to his face.Editor's Choice, Lifestyle, Videos 14:58
Thursday, November 3, 2016 - Tanzania's President John Pombe Magufuli was in the country for a two day state visit where he held bilateral talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Magufuli was full of praise for Kenya claiming that the country has massive potential if only we managed to slay the twin dragons that have been holding the country back in tribalism and corruption.
His counsel could not have come at a better time with the mega scandals that have rocked the Jubilee Government where billions of taxpayers' money have been squandered.

After having been on sale for just about two years, the Captiva SUV has become the figurehead of the model range of Chevrolet, something bordering that of an icon. Especially so with the introduction of the brand new edition of Captiva Ikon that provides unparalleled value for cash.
Currently available on sale, the Ikon is patterned on the well-equipped LS version implying that it will also get air conditioning, power windows, remote locking, power mirrors, a glass flip tailgate and high quality CD/stereo combo with control mounted on the steering wheel.
Ikon includes smart styling touches above the standard kit valued at £3,000, with 20-inch alloys, privacy glass, exhaust tailpipe in chrome and side steps.
Ikon is a front-wheel drive vehicle with a 2.4-liter gasoline or 2.0-liter diesel powerplant options with all the characteristics of the big SUV minus the related costs making it ideal for those who need a bigger vehicle without paying the premium or those who want to reduce prices while availing of style.
Add to this the fact that Ikon is for sale at less than the equivalent LS version in the Captiva lineup with the 2.4-liter almost £1,000 cheaper than the gasoline LS at only £15,995 on-the-road, while the 2.0 diesel is only £16,995 offering a savings of £1,400 in contrast to the equivalent VCDi LS.

text: I have an older Netopia-3000 router. Recently, I have been getting a pop-up window asking for the router's username and password when trying to access internet sites. It doesn't happen all the time. Some site it will ask for the login info and then during a different attempt it will not. It's pretty frustrating because if I don't input the right info the router will report a login failure and not let me on the internet. A little background, the router is at my church office and was set up about 5+ years ago by a fellow who no longer attends here. He left no documentation as to what the login info would be. The wireless networking part of the router is unsecured, so I'm assuming the pop-up is asking for the admin login. I'm also puzzled as to why it would just now start asking for that info--even when I just want to access Google or Bing. It's frustrating to say the least.

The guys and gals on Private Porn Video show you what can happen when a camera crew takes to the streets and finds chicks to join in wherever they are. Take two or three minutes to get to know the gal, then plunge straight into a reality-based hardcore fantasy.
The hardcore action at PrivatePornVideo is a welcome change from the high-gloss world of upscale porn. The site is priced at an upscale fee, but what you'll get is a made-at-home feel in each and every scene.
Check out these gals and studs as they suck and fuck each other after short interviews. The low-key sets and lighting bring you right into the scene with a strong realistic tone.
There are 185 videos in the collection, each one showing off a different gal taking on a stud in different places like small bedrooms, large bathrooms, pools, offices and more. Some videos can be downloaded in stellar-quality Windows Media format, while
Each video is divided into clips, so you'll have to download all of the clips to get the full scene. There are no dates to indicate when scenes are added, but updates come about twice a week. However, the site seems to either be cutting down on some of their older videos or rotating content.
The chicks here each have a unique way about them and love showing off their bodies and talents in different scenarios. The three-way in a sauna and then Jacuzzi with Kati is one scene not to be missed.
Many of the scenes feature two chicks getting it on before a guy jumps in and joins in on the fun. You'll notice the guys wear condoms in lots of the scenes, which does kind of add to that reality feel.
Each episode is accompanied by a set of vid caps, so if you're looking for high-res photos of amateurs fucking, you're out of luck.
The pricey membership at this site comes with bonuses. You'll get access to 11 bonus sites like They Drunk, Virgin Paradise, Erotic Nymphets, Pantyhose Colors and Illustrated XXX Stories. Not all of them focus on reality porn, but they do offer loads of hardcore content.
The concept on Private Porn Video is great and you get a big collection. Some could be turned off by the trimming of movies or rotating content, but the quality of the movies and bonuses make this pricey site worthwhile for those who love true amateur porn.

Perth, Jan 11: India's Virat Kohli will have a chance to break South African AB de Villiers' batting record during the 5-match ODI series against Australia.
Ind-Aus series schedule; 1st Ind-Aus ODI preview
India and Australia will face off in the 1st match of the series at the WACA Ground in Perth tomorrow (January 12). And Kohli can surpass De Villiers as the quickest to 7,000 ODI runs list.
De Villiers holds the record for being the fastest to score 7,000 ODIs runs - in 166 innings. So far, Kohli has accumulated 6,831 runs in 158 innings (166 matches). The Proteas right-hander claimed the record in November 2014 against Australia, in Perth.
The 27-year-old Kohli needs 169 runs more to complete 7,000. Even if he gets to bat in all 5 ODIs and reaches the milestone in the last game, he will topple De Villiers. He has 7 more innings to break the South African's mark.
Having emerged as one of the best batsmen in the world, it will not be a surprise if Kohli overtakes his Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team-mate De Villiers, in Australia.
Fastest to 7,000 ODI runs (Top 5)
AB de Villiers (South Africa) - 166 innings (172 matches)
Sourav Ganguly (India) - 174 (180)
Brian Lara (West Indies) - 183 (187)
Desmond Haynes (West Indies) - 187 (188)
Jacques Kallis (South Africa) - 188 (197)

Masterton District
Notes - geography
Census geography
Census data are available at a variety of different geographic levels, for example, Region; Territorial Authority; Area Unit and Meshblock (a small local unit of 10-100 households). Often Census data geography doesn't match actual 'communities', 'suburbs' or 'service catchments' needed for effective decision making. While individual meshblocks are small enough to be very useful, only limited data are available at this detailed level, and they need to be aggregated into higher level meaningful units.
The Community Profile provides population data for the Masterton District and associated suburbs/localities, aggregated from Meshblocks for the Census years: 2013, 2006 and 2001.
Masterton District geography
The suburbs and localities in the Community Profile tables are aggregations of whole 2013-Census meshblock geography. While the meshblocks used to collect Census data in 2006 and 2001 differed a little from these, Statistics NZ have concorded the older datasets to the most current meshblock boundaries.
Suburbs and small areas are defined such that they contain a minimum of 11 meshblocks and 543 people in every Census year. This avoids any complications caused by confidentiality rules imposed by Statistics NZ. They are designed to match official suburb/locality boundaries as close as possible, and represent geographic areas which people can relate to on the ground. They have been agreed to with the local authority as representing logical communities within the area.
The small areas used in profile.id do NOT necessarily match up to Statistics NZs "Area Unit (AU)" boundaries, though some may coincide. Some will be larger than Area Units, while others will represent a more detailed breakdown within Area Unit boundaries. Some areas may cross Area Unit boundaries.
The Masterton District has 9 small areas:
Homebush-Te Ore Ore - Whareama
Homebush-Te Ore Ore - Whareama is bounded by the Tararua District Council area in the north, the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Carterton District Council area in the south, and South Road, Manaia Road, the locality of Solway South, Makora Road, River Road, the Ruamahanga River, Black Rock Road, Te Ore Ore Bideford Road and Whangaehu Valley Road in the west.

|Product Update
Kozio recently developed the ValidationAssistant, a unified, interactive, embedded hardware verification environment that simplifies hardware control, automates test execution, and conveniently maintains test cases in a structure that maximizes reuse across the entire product life cycle. Such a lifecycle typically consists of engineering, production, and field test. This PC-based application interacts with any device under test, executing the company's bare-metal, in-system diagnostics software. Other capabilities include easily-accessible high-level commands customized for each specific design and an intuitive point and click interface that together accelerate the control and execution of functional board-level tests. Through a single command, an entire board can be tested within minutes, at the hardware's full operating speed.
Previous methods utilize terminal emulators to interface from the target to the host. When using this method, firmware engineers are required to write the embedded code for menu and prompt creation and modify it for each new design. It can be extremely time consuming when engineers have to write new diagnostics and a new user interface for each new design and also when operators have to learn a new interface. Rarely can the same process and interface be leveraged from one project to another, wasting valuable engineering resources. With ValidationAssistant, command-sets for each new design are automatically loaded through a structured file, eliminating the need to learn different commands, options, or user interfaces.
Even infrequent users have an easy way to quickly execute target commands. When a user wants to alter the menu or add new commands, they simply edit the text file and they have instant access to their newly created commands. They only have to learn one user interface and can reuse that knowledge on future projects and devices. In addition, ValidationAssistant exposes all levels of test options including: suites, diagnostics, test methods and low-level commands.
The ValidationAssistant environment provides a convenient, fast and common method for validating and programming components on the target device through the click of a mouse. Key aspects of the hardware design are automatically validated. Regression testing is supported to uncover any new errors after changes have been made to the hardware. The solution uses an interpreter that runs directly on the processor of the target device. Whether users need to program an EEPROM, NAND, NOR, FPGA, CPLD or other programmable logic device, the interface and method makes the task straightforward and fast.

Ezreal Build Guide by
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Ezreal Build
Why this strange, tanky build?
Yes, most of you could think that this build is strange, that it doesn't work, that these items will just make Ezreal tankier but he wont deal damage - nothing more wrong.
Once you got the Iceborn Gauntlet, you will deal almost the same damage as the classic blue Ezreal, but don't be afraid of this. You can easily beat the enemy adc most likely 1v1 cause of the armor you already get with Gauntlet.
Then, when you get Manamume and half Frozen Heart you will start completely snowballing the enemy adc, cause he won't deal so much damage to you, you're gonna have a lot of armor and still dealing the same damage as blue Ezreal!
Then you go on building Mercury's threads to get tenacity, and then the Banshee's veil to counter cc's, to get some MR and more mana.
Why mana is important? Cause of the muramana passive, all that mana will stack with it and deal a lot of damage!
At the end of the game you're gonna have 250+ armor, 270 AD, 150 magic resistance + tenacity + banshee's veil passive!

Paul Stanley: 'We will create new sports anthem for football team'
Kiss stars Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are hoping to create a brand new sports anthem for their Arena Football League team L.A. Kiss. The duo, who have heavily invested in the new sports franchise, unveiled the team's uniforms and cheerleaders at a launch in Anaheim, California on Monday (10Mar14), and singer Stanley revealed his latest venture had inspired a songwriting surge.
He says, "We are planning to come up with something that will be the battle cry; something that will represent not only the team, but will represent the fans. We want the fans to have a song, or a melody or a battle cry that they can participate in… We can't win without those people."
The L.A. Kiss will play all home games at the Honda Center in Anaheim. The team will be coached by sports veteran Bob McMillen.
KISS are also planning to perform a special concert at the arena for fans of the team.

The Bush Foundation recently welcomed Carly Bad Heart Bull as its Native nations activities manager and Erica Orton as its learning and evaluation manager. The Foundation also announced June Noronha will step down from her role as interim Nation building portfolio director in August.
As Native Nations Activities Manager, Carly will help the Foundation effectively serve Native nations and Native communities across all its programs and strategic initiatives. A citizen of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, Carly previously worked as a Dakota language teacher in South Minneapolis and as an attorney at the Hennepin County Attorney's office in their child protection division. She joined the Foundation's education team in 2014 as a Ron McKinley Philanthropy Fellow.
As Learning and Evaluation Manager, Erica will develop plans to assess the impact of the Foundation's programs and strategic initiatives; both its internal operations and the outcomes of its investments. She comes to the Foundation from the Minnesota Historical Society where she served as an Evaluation Associate. Erica will use her experience as a community educator to help the Foundation expand efforts to share insights from its work and the work of its grantees and Fellows.
The Native Nations Activities Manager and Learning and Evaluation Manager are new positions at the Foundation. Bush Foundation Strategy and Learning Vice President Allison Barmann said they reflect two of Foundation's operating values: Work Beyond Ourselves and More Good. Every Year.
"Carly's experience, skills and relationships will greatly benefit our efforts to work in true collaboration across the 23 Native nations and Native communities we serve. And Erica's blend of analytical skills and community engagement experience will help boost our efforts to be smarter and more effective every year," Barmann said.
June Noronha, who joined the Bush Foundation in 2005 as a strategic officer, played a pivotal role in the success of its Native Nation Building initiative. She will step down at the end of August in a planned exit from her role as Nation Building Portfolio Director.
Barmann said it is hard to overstate June's contributions to the Foundation and its work to support efforts to strengthen tribal governance in the region, particularly through the Native Nations Rebuilder program.
Recently, June helped develop and launch the Native Governance Center (NGC), an independent nonprofit organization that supports the efforts of Native nations to strengthen their governance systems and their capacity to exercise their sovereignty. The Foundation established NGC to build on the work of its Native Nation Building initiative.
"June's mentorship has had a profound influence on hundreds of leaders across the Native nations we serve. She brings the best out of people who make lasting, positive changes for the region," Barmann said. "We are thrilled for June as she takes on new endeavors."
The Foundation will conduct a search to fill the Native Nation Building Portfolio Director position. The portfolio director leads the Foundation's Native Nation Building initiative which invests in efforts to strengthen tribal governance, including the Native Governance Center. The Foundation will continue to add new investments to support tribal governance models that will inspire nations around the world working to exercise self-determination for the good of their people.

"I have always been struck by the arrogance of people who think that no one understood or followed the Bible until they came along 1600 years after the fact."
Arrogance? Compare the church of the 1600s to the life of Christ,,,, and look how they squeal at being reformed. That, is a good example of high arrogance.
were there bad people in the Catholic church, you betcha but to call the protestant revolution a reformation is to ignore fact. First of all you revolt from without, you reform from within and a reformation should improve not alter the organization. The "revolters" denied some of the basic tenants of the church, completely changed some of the most basic teachings of Catholicism to a point that they are almost unrecognizable as Christial "denominations"...but go ahead and do your own thing, Christ warned that there would be "false witnesses" and there are...started with Martin Luther

Glashütte is first and foremost the town at the centre of German watchmaking – from which the legendary manufacture takes its name.
In 1878 watchmaker Moritz Grössmann, under the impetus of Ferdinand Lange (of Lange & Söhne), founded a watchmaking school in Glashütte that was to become the cradle of future watchmaking generations.
With two world wars taking up most of the first half of the twentieth century, the local economy went into limbo. At the end of these conflicts, the town was taken over by communism, which did not favour the development of the manufacture. The latter did not return to prosperity until after the reunification of Germany in 1989.
The Glashütte Original brand officially came into being in 1994 with the privatisation of "VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe", an organisation that had grouped together the town's independent watchmakers since 1951. The brand was bought out by the Swatch Group in 2000.
Two years later, Nicolas Hayek Sr, CEO of Glashütte Original, carried on the town of Glashütte's training tradition by setting up a watchmaking school there.
The following year, Glashütte Original inaugurated its new manufacture.
In 2006, the firm presented its Senator line, soon to become a benchmark for its collection.

Woke up this morning determined to "heal" my innards with as much positive energy and intention as I can muster. First I made some tea – boiling water mixed with juice from 1 meyer lemon – I usually use regular lemons but the only ones we could find at the market were the very expensive and fancy meyer lemons so what the heck – anyway, where was I? Meyer lemons, hot water, honey. Yum.
And I made some chicken soup in the crockpot. The first picture is the soup at the very start of cooking it. Should be ready in about 3 hours. If you haven't used your crockpot in awhile, I tell you, it's made for Celiacs. Pull it out of the closet, dust it off, and start cooking. You'll be glad you did!
This recipe is adapted from "Slow Cooker Cooking" by Lora Brody. Please note that you don't have to use a kosher chicken, but in my opinion, the soup is far superior when you use a kosher chicken. Much less fatty so you don't even need to let it sit overnight in the frig for the fat to congeal. Obviously, no regular thin noodles like mama used to add. But if you really want the noodles, just make some gluten free pasta and use it for the soup. Or if you're really lucky and happen to have some gluten free matza (we had some last Passover but don't have any left), you can make some matza balls!
Ellen's Chicken Soup
1 cut up kosher chicken (package weighed about 3.5 lbs. – would've preferred a bigger, meatier one, but it's what hubbie brought home from the market)
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
3 large parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
2 celery stalks, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 large onion, peeled and thickly sliced
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 large handful fresh parsley (don't need to cut it)
1 tablespoon kosher salt (use regular if you don't' have kosher salt)
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
6 – 8 cups water (or enough to barely cover ingredients – original recipe called for using commercial or homemade chicken stock, but I didn't have any, so I used water)
Fresh dill sprigs
Place the chicken, carrots, parsnips, celery, onion, dried dill, salt, and pepper in the insert of the slow cooker. Pour in the water or broth. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours, until the chicken is extremely tender and falls off the bone. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and vegetables to a large bowl or platter. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, and set aside with the vegetables. Discard the bones and skin.
Strain the broth into a large bowl, then use a shallow metal spoon to skim the fat from the top. Taste, and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, spoon some chicken and vegetables into shallow soup bowls, then ladle the broth over them. Sprinkle each serving with some fresh dill sprigs if desired.

Try lime in hot water with agave nectar – it's divine. Ginger tea is also supposed to be good for the tummy – and you can just break of a piece of fresh ginger, thinly slice it, and put it in with hot water and ginger. It's funny that in western MA meyer lemons are more expensive than the regular kind since, in IL, organic meyer lemons are less expensive than organic regular lemons.
Cooking quinoa in a few ladles of chicken broth (instead of water) gives soup even more protein and that feeling of noodles. Quinoa is also supposed to be super-easy to digest. I suppose you could also take Tinkyada or another GF spaghetti and break it into tiny pieces and cook that to make Campbell's style noodles.
- January 1, 2007 at 11:44 am
Thanks for the tips Michelle. I know about the ginger – and took your advice and added it to my lemon juice and honey tea this morning. I will definitely try adding quinoa to the soup. Great idea!
- January 2, 2007 at 7:24 am
Definitely a must make. This looks comforting and yummy!
- January 7, 2007 at 11:15 pm
It is comforting AND yummy – both! My hubbie asked me to make it at least once a week – it's just great to have for a quick meal!
- January 26, 2007 at 10:36 am
For the last week or so, my stomach has been really painful. I'm pretty sure that I haven't eaten anything with gluten, but you never know. I definitely plan on making chicken soup and hot water with lemon and ginger. Do you have any other suggestions for super easy-to-digest foods? I'm trying to avoid as many allergens as possible, including dairy and soy and other beans.
- January 26, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Dear Anonymous,
Plain rice might work. I've been eating plain yogurt with a little bit of honey and also an apple cider vinegar cocktail with a cup of hot water and a teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar and honey to sweeten. It sounds worse than it is! I think it has helped.
Eat simple foods – maybe salmon baked with a little bit of lemon and water (butter also if you can tolerate it). Toast and jam. That's what I've been having. Hope that helps. I hope you feel better soon!
- March 2, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Speaking of matzo balls, I read two intriguing recipes for (non kosher l'Pesach) gluten-free ones. One subs a cream of rice like cereal for matzo meal and the other subs ground, dry rice crumbs – both says these substitutions work well for matzo meal. YAY!

Generally multicast behaves the same as broadcast. The only time you would need multicast is if your nodes are on different subnets - in which case you would also have to make sure the router had sufficiently low latencies to support clustering over it. -- patrick

Partisan farm bill vote leaves future uncertain
The future of federal farm programs is uncertain, at best, after a sharply divided House last Thursday passed a stripped-down farm bill on its second try.
The 216-208 vote mostly was along party lines, a rarity for farm bills, with all but 12 Republicans voting for it and all Democrats opposed after the GOP-controlled House removed funding for food stamps and other programs to feed the country's poor.
Farm groups worried that House-Senate negotiations, known as a conference, will not be able to work out a compromise without the food stamp portion of the bill.
"We are concerned that without a workable nutrition title, it will prove to be nearly impossible to adopt a bill that can be successfully conferenced with the Senate's version, approved by both the House and Senate and signed by the president," Minnesota Farm Bureau President Kevin Papp said.
The White House said President Barack Obama would veto the House bill if it reaches his desk.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan, criticized the House bill, but she said she would go to conference with the House.
"The bill passed by the House today is not a real farm bill and is an insult to rural America, which is why it's strongly opposed by more than 500 farm, food and conservation groups," Stabenow said.
"We will go to conference with the bipartisan, comprehensive farm bill that was passed in the Senate that not only reforms programs, supports families in need and creates agriculture jobs, but also saves billions more than the extremely flawed House bill," she said.
House leaders split the farm bill Thursday, three weeks after a version that included food stamps failed, embarrassing Republican leaders.
Republicans say the bill could go to negotiations with the Senate, although they promised to continue to work on finding a nutrition bill that can pass.
The Democrat-controlled Senate easily passed its version of the farm bill, including nutrition program funding.
While many farm provisions in the two bills are the same, senators cut just $4 billion from food stamps over 10 years while the bill representatives defeated last month would have cut $20 billion. Many Republicans would like to cut even more, while Democrats generally want no cuts.
Representative Collin Peterson, D-Minnesota, began work on the farm bill four years ago when he was Agriculture Committee chairman, but he said he had to vote against the GOP bill Thursday.
"I'm sorry I have to do that," Peterson said.
More than 500 farm, conservation and other groups sent letters to the U.S. House asking that the nutrition provisions remain in the farm bill. Peterson said House Republicans ignored them.
Nutrition and farm programs have been in the same bill since 1977 in an effort to get support from both urban and rural lawmakers.
"It violates a decades-old principle that united urban and rural interests together feeding hungry people," said Representative Rick Nolan, D-Minnesota.
Representative Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota, said he strongly opposed the move "because it increases hunger in America."
Farm bills generally are bipartisan efforts, but that ended this year.
"Tea Party Republicans have yet again chosen to push a partisan, broken bill to nowhere," said Representative Tim Walz, a southern Minnesota Democrat.
However, Representative Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said the House bill is good for farmers.
"We greatly improved on the Senate version of the bill by keeping a strong crop insurance safety net for farmers," Cramer said. "We also keep important programs for livestock and sugar."
Cramer praised the bill's efforts to provide farmers with relief from federal regulations.
Peterson said his biggest fear is that the Republican move will mean nothing eventually passes. The farm bill is to fund programs for five years.
"First and foremost, I believe the strategy of splitting the farm bill is a mistake that jeopardizes the chances of it ever becoming law," Peterson said.
He warned that failure to pass the bill into law would mean much higher federal payments to milk producers.
Lack of new farm policy would keep existing laws on the books, which would cost more than the proposed bill. It also would mean farmers would continue to work under what many call outdated programs instead of a newly written crop insurance provision.
Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Oklahoma, pledged to keep working on funding food stamps.
"The committee will work hard to achieve a consensus on a nutrition bill," Lucas said, although he admitted that whatever his committee draws up probably will not satisfy the extremes from both political parties.
The combined farm-nutrition bill failed June 20 after Republicans voted on an amendment that Democrats claimed would make it more difficult for some Americans to get food stamps. Several Democrats voted against the bill last month because of the amendment, which defeated it.

NQC 11: Friday night
You're on your own tonight folks. Except for Chris Allman and a few bars from Wes Hampton, there wasn't anything much for me to write home or blog about. If the morning brings new mercies or insights, I shall declare them then.*
*In the light of a new day, the only amplification I might add is that there wasn't much worth blogging about from my perspective. Others, obviously, do and should disagree. Sure, I could have talked about how Ivan Parker seemed to be suffering from and sounded like an affliction; that the Hoppers seemed unable or unwilling to make any distinction between classic songs in their past and boring old tunes that were retired for a reason; that Legacy Five seems to be earnestly trying but nevertheless still searching for the right material to generate a pulse on their set and sound; that I can't recall the last time anyone got the kind of response Kim Collingsworth elicited for her assaultive rendition of the Hallelujah chorus on the piano; that Collingsworth's giant arrangements and keyboard showmanship make Jeff Stice look like a regional showcase winner; that sometimes on stage there's a mean streak to Gerald Wolfe's emcee work that reminds me of a slicker version of Jim Hamill; that the Isaacs seem to be losing their mojo; that, if one were to judge by last night alone, the talk of Tim Riley's legendary abilities might seem as much the work of the self-deluded who refuse to admit that group's moment has long since passed as anything else; that the Kingdom Heir's badly punned tune, "No Bones About It," seemed positively in good taste compared to the vulgarity, crudeness, and adolescent nature of the humor on stage throughout the evening (there were bad butt jokes; unfunny bathroom jokes; and of course Gordon Mote blind jokes, which typically seem to stay just this side of inappropriate but veered across that line for me when, at the end of his set, Gaither had his arm around Mote and said "let's go from lesser vision to Greater Vision"); that the Perrys bring a well-rounded set even when they have just an ok night; that Gaither occupies his own realm of power and glory in the hearts and minds of the southern gospel world; that dominionist militarism alternates with poverty profiteering as the two emotional poles of the non-musical portions of the official NQC show; that Peg kicked off her shoes.
But when all this fades from view and passes from memory, what I will have taken away from last night that mattered to me was the unadorned honesty and soft power of Chris Allman (with Stan Whitmire) covering "I Know a Man," and Wes Hampton revivifying "He is Here."
Until tonight, that is all.Email this Post

Why should I use Virtual Travel Group
Traveling is an investment. Most people consider that the memories they make on vacations are nothing short of long term, personal memory assets. The pictures we take, the laughs we'll never forget, and the friends that we spend our valuable time with. When you consider how precious our memories are to us, it's no wonder that some of the most savvy travelers in the world choose to enlist in the services and consultation of a properly trained travel agent like Virtual Travel Group when booking their business and or leisure trips.
Although it isn't always necessary to call on the advice of an industry expert. Virtual Travel Group would like to offer some guidance to all travelers regarding when and why you should consider consulting with a travel agent. Here are some scenarios where we suggest consulting with an agent:
- You're traveling to a destination for the first time. Consider that travel agents likely have access to destination-specific information, deals, and reviews that are many times not available through your personal online research. Surveys have consistently shown that traveler satisfaction is maximized when using a travel agent like Virtual Travel Group vs. researching and booking a vacation on your own?
- You are extremely busy with work or personal obligations that prevent you from diligently researching and making decisions regarding your travel details. In many cases business professionals get overwhelmed with work and unintentionally delay booking their trips. This can result in fewer options, higher prices, and rushed decisions. Additionally, there have been cases where travelers overlooked small but important details. Travel Agents are specifically trained to consider all details, small and large and they can give you a peace of mind when traveling that in and of itself can go a long way towards making sure your frame of mind and attitude are properly set so that you can start to enjoy your trip before it starts.
- You're on a budget and simply want the best deal. Far too often travelers assume that the best deals are available only through internet booking engines. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some Travel Agencies purchase bulk quantities of vacation packages so they can offer them to prospective clients as a way to attract future business. In many cases these packages are negotiable and can be purchased for steep discounts. Additionally, travel agents are trained to know which budget-friendly destinations can offer the most enjoyment per dollar spent based on your goals.
Something else to consider is that most travel agents are willing to offer you advice regardless of whether or not you book with them. They do this in hopes that you'll take their advice, enjoy your trip and consider using their services in the future. Also, many travel agents like Virtual Travel Group have their own online booking engine where you can book your trip just like you would through priceline or expedia and access the same competitive pricing. You may prefer to give your business to a contact of yours by booking through their website so they get credit for your travel like Virtual Travel Group purchase rather than just giving your business to a large online retailer that you may not have a relationship with. All things considered, a travel agent is always an email or phone call away and wants nothing more but to help you create the best possible memories each and every time you travel.

GRE Issue44:Claim: It Is No Longer Possible For A Society To Regard Any Living Man Or Woman As A Hero. Reason: The Reputation Of Anyone Who Is Subjected To Media Scrutiny Will Eventually Be Diminished.
According to the statement, it is impossible for a society to regard any living man or woman as a hero. The main reason is that the reputation of anyone who is subjected to media scrutiny will eventually be diminished. This may hold true in some cases; however, I strongly disagree with the statement because the author oversimplifies the issues.
Firstly, people easily forget what they see via media. Mass media offers too much information for us every day. So it is possible that a hero will be replaced by another hero or subjects. That is why there is no longer possible for a society to regard any living man or woman as a hero. While this is a tempting assumption, it is by no means a certainty. A true hero will never be forgotten by the people he or she helped. Take my hero, Mr.Chen, as an example. Mr.Chen is a brave firefighter. He saved my life when I was an elementary student. He rescued me from the scene of fire that I will never want to go back again. He will always be my hero no matter the media gives him credits or not. Hence, I believe that society still regard living man or woman as a hero without mass media.
Secondly, society can still trace back somebody's brave behavior without mass media. A true hero is not decided by media or coverage, he or she is decided by the people he or she helped with in the past. I can't think a better illustration than an example of my professor, Mr.Huang. Mr.Huang was a brave soldier when he was young. He protected our country from being invaded by the evil troops. He saved people's assets and dignities, giving people a hand to fight back. In the end, we won the battle and reconstructed the whole country. He is our hero. We don't need news coverage to honor him. Thus, true heroes still exist in our society.
Finally, perhaps the most importantly, the so called "hero" who used to appear on TV or be in front of mass media is probably not the hero that society will regard him or her as a great person. So many people in today's society use media as their tools to attract people's attention and benefit themselves. It is obvious that once you would be renowned as a "hero," you can have people's respect and all the money and benefits. More and more people make use of mass media's traits to call themselves "hero." They are not true heroes but a bunch of liars who want to deceive people instead of really rescue them from dangerous situation. Therefore, society can still recognize any living man or woman as a hero without media's help.
In summary, based on the expositions and illustrations above, it may be safe to reach the conclusion that we still regard a living man or woman as a hero whether the reputation of him or her is diminished by media scrutiny or not. In fact, true hero will never be forgotten in people's hearts.
