Celebration in Maryland as new pike opens fully - ICC links I-95 to the heart of Montgomery Co
It was London weather, fog, drizzle, persistent light rain, a day without the sun, Tuesday Nov 22, but Marylanders in Montgomery Co, the state's most populous county immediately north of the District of Colombia, celebrated. They'd overcome the naysayers, the 'green' obstructionists who put the supposed needs of fish or fowl ahead of people... this crew had lost out in the opening in the early hours of Tuesday morning of the 19 mile long 2x3 lane toll expressway known as the Inter County Connector (ICC.) Officially it is now MD200.
They told the story Tuesday of how the Environmental Defense Fund's Michael Replogle had declared to leading senior elected officials ten years ago: "You are wasting your breath (advocating the ICC), we'll make sure it never gets built."
They tried everything to stop it - repeated lawsuits, heavy lobbying and sustained scaremongering - but they failed.
Finally there's a direct east-west connector of I-270 and Montgomery County with I-95 and Prince George's County and a way for the people of Gaithersburg and Rockville to drive comfortably and directly to BWI airport, to Columbia, to Baltimore and points northeast to Philadelphia or New York or east to Chesapeake Bay and the Eastern Shore. Until now they have had the lousy alternatives of looping south to the crowded Capital Beltway or traveling at 15mph on a disjointed network of 2-lane local roads that wind their way through Montgomery County shopping centers and past thousands of driveways and schools and businesses - waiting through twenty or so sets of traffic signals.
Chief very happy
Harold Bartlett, chief executive of the Maryland (Toll) Transportation Authority (MdTA) told us today in a telephone interview that the public reaction after a second day open has been "overwhelmingly positive."
"I'm very very happy," Bartlett said. "Everything is working perfectly (on the road). We're hearing how people love it and how it makes their journeys so much less stressful."
Bartlett says he enjoys the ICC a great deal himself in his own daily commute from Montgomery County to the MdTA offices in Baltimore. Until this week he drove Olney-Laytonsville Rd MD108 through Olney and MD198 Spencerville Rd/Sandy Spring Road through Burtonsville. Because he lives a bit to the north of the ICC using it adds several miles to his trip, but he says it saves at least ten minutes.
"So relaxing"
Best of all he says "it is so relaxing" to drive the new expressway versus all the slow local roads.
And he says the benefits are being felt not only by those on the new pike but people making local trips on the surface routes who now won't have to deal with the through-traffic.
"I'm sure we'll look back at this and say: how could we have done without it?"
There's a short extension planned from I-95 to parallel US1 and some work along I-95 itself to ease the merges. Bartlett says that by keeping the big part of the project on budget they have the funds available to move forward with the US1 extension quite soon. They already have bids, and he says, they all fit within the original budget and the funds available.
"Drivers rejoice..."
The Baltimore Sun today echoed the celebratory mood with the headline: "Drivers rejoice as ICC cuts Laurel to Gaithersburg travel in half."
They quoted Lon Anderson of AAA Mid Atlantic: "This is a transportation miracle. You can't believe it until you drive it -- Gaithersburg to Laurel in 20 minutes."
Longtime supporters of the new pike staged a road race: one bunch driving their old local roads routes, another doing the loop to the Beltway, and another bunch using the ICC.
Road races
As the Sun reported: "The ICC lived up to its hype, delivering its drivers to the finish line more than 20 minutes quicker."
They quoted Emmet Tydings, owner of a Gaithersburg telecom company, who said gridlock on the Capital Beltway scared off job applicants from the Baltimore area. He was forced to split his business and open an office in Columbia.
The ICC will allow him to tap into a larger talent pool and cut the travel time between his two offices.
Tydings: "It's jobs, it's time. My dog in this fight is economic development, and you won't have economic development with congestion."
Travel times "halved"
The Washington Post was also positive about the new road saying cut common travel times in half. It quoted Rich Parsons, a longtime advocate: "I did something today that I've never done in my life, which is to travel across Montgomery County in a half-hour."
The Post wrote: "Parsons said he drove the ICC from a Marriott along I-270 in Gaithersburg to a Holiday Inn at I-95 and Route 198 in Laurel in 29 minutes between 7:30am and 8am. Others in the group said they took about 45 minutes on local roads, including Norbeck and Muncaster Mill roads, and about 50 minutes to travel via I-270 and the Capital Beltway.
"Driving the ICC between I-270 and I-95 took a reporter 20 minutes each way about 7am."
Governor quote
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has said: "The ICC has sweeping economic benefits, including shorter commutes, improved access to BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport for both freight and passengers, and greater access to affordable housing and jobs. It will provide safer travel for communities long overburdened with cross-county traffic on their local roads.
"The ICC will keep us moving, quite literally, toward a Smart, Green and Growing future for our One Maryland. I am energized about what the ICC will do for Maryland and, most importantly, for each Marylander who uses it."
Fish, fowl and deer also catered to
Interestingly the new highway - unlike the old roads - is built to minimize impacts on fish and fowl and deer. It has long bridging of watercourses and wildlife runs, and elaborately engineered storm water retention ponds and sediment control to help fish. And not only are there fences to attempt to keep deer off the road, but also, should they get in, grassed 'jump mounds' inside to help them leap the fence out.
Much of the road is in a pleasant parkland setting. About ten percent of the $2.3b budget for this road went into environmental measures.
Tolls begin Dec 5
For now travel on the ICC is free - an introductory period to allow motorists to try the road, and the opportunity for ACS to fine-tune the toll equipment and systems with live traffic.
Tolls are scheduled to begin December 5.

RV industry rebounding, led by smaller trailers
LOUISVILLE, Ky. American families are ready to hitch up their trailers and tow the RV industry out of its worst stretch in nearly two decades.
The industry was driven into the ditch last year by the Great Recession. Sales plunged, plants closed and thousands of jobs were cut as orders for recreational vehicles dropped to their worse level since 1991.
Now, RV makers such as Winnebago are starting to turn profits and have begun to hire. And dealers are ordering more RVs for their showrooms. This year, shipments of RVs ranging from entry-level pop-ups to spacious motor homes are expected to hit their highest level since 2007, when the economic downturn began.
The upswing is a sign that somewhat looser credit, stable fuel prices and improved consumer confidence are inspiring Americans to buy more RVs.
"Things are starting to look up," says Tim O'Brien, president of an RV dealership in Lapeer, Mich., where sales are up 55 percent from a year ago. "People are ready to get out from underneath the frugality of the last couple of years and go out and have some fun and recreation," he says.
Typical RV buyers are people between 35 and 54 with disposable income. They're starting to buy again, say industry leaders and dealers who convened at a trade show in Louisville this week. But a growing share of RV sales come from families choosing less expensive towable RVs, including folding camping trailers, or pop-ups. Those towables are smaller and cost a fraction of the price of amenity-filled motor homes favored by older travelers.
Before the recession hit, towables accounted for eight out of every 10 new RV shipments. Now they make up about nine out of 10 RVs shipped to dealers.
Towables, attached to pickups or hitched to the back of another vehicle, cost between $4,000 and $100,000, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. Stand-alone motor homes can start at about $41,000 for van-like RVs, according to the industry group, while spacious, bus-like vehicles can run as much as $400,000 for top-of-the-line models. And that's before the cost of gas. Big RVs can get as little as 8 mpg.
Bob Olson, CEO of RV manufacturer Winnebago Industries Inc., says a trend of families buying cheaper towables is encouraging. "They have to start somewhere. And one thing about this lifestyle, you get hooked on it and you want to upgrade."
Winnebago recently signaled its intention to move back into the towables by signing a letter of intent to buy SunnyBrook RV, which makes those type of RVs. Winnebago last built travel trailers in 1983.
The industry is looking for a recovery across all RV models.
It expects shipments from manufacturers to dealers to hit 236,700 in 2010, up 43 percent from last year's nearly 20-year low of 165,700. Through October, shipments have risen nearly 53 percent from the same period in 2009, according to RVIA. In 2011, shipments are forecast to reach 246,000.
Higher shipments mean dealers expect retail sales to rise. While the two don't always correlate, there are signs that sales will, in fact, grow in the mid-single digits in 2011 "with a bias toward cheaper units," says Bret Jordan, who follows RV companies for Avondale Partners.
"It correlates pretty well with consumer confidence and economic improvement," he says.
Profits are returning to the industry. Winnebago, which closed two plants during the recession, posted net income of $4.9 million in the fourth quarter ending Aug. 28, compared with a loss of $50.2 million a year earlier. That marked its second straight profitable quarter. Revenue more than doubled to $449.5 million for its full fiscal year.

Alexa Meinhardt
2014 Orientation Leader
Lititz, Pennsylvania
First Year Residence Hall:
Cooking and baking, talking, reading, shopping, dancing, spending time with friends and family, volunteering and working with children.
UD Involvement:
Student Alumni Ambassador, UDance, Science for the Common Hen, Blue Hen Leadership Program, Zumba Club enthusiast.
Most exciting UD memory:
Participating in the '90s themed flash mob for UDance! A big group of students involved with UDance organized a flash mob on The Green around lunchtime on a weekday, and crowds of people gathered to watch us bust out some moves from the '90s. It was the first time that I really felt like I was a part of something bigger than myself here at UD!
Advice for a new student:
Don't be afraid to get involved or approach someone and see if they want to get together sometime! Everyone is just as scared as you are, and someone has to make the first move. Opportunities won't simply come to you like they used to—it may take a little time, but you will definitely find your niche. Most importantly, always try to keep a positive attitude and think of the big picture…there's always UDairy ice cream to cheer you up!
Advice for their parents:
Text your students whenever they have a big exam or interview, and make sure you know they always have your full support. Even though they'll find a new life in college, it's important that they know you are there for them. Also, care packages are a must (even if your students insist they don't need one!).
How I decided on my major:
I have always been interested in genes and DNA, so I considered studying forensics; I soon realized that I wanted to work with people, as well. Studying biology will allow me to combine my two loves—DNA and babies. With a degree in biology, I can further delve into the field and study genetics, but there is still a lot of room for growth if I decide to switch paths.
Favorite TV show:
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (Mariska Hargitay/Olivia Benson is my idol)
Favorite song:
"I'm Ready" by AJR
Favorite spot on Main Street:
The Barnes & Noble Café at the UD Bookstore
Plans after college:
I hope to attend graduate school to pursue a degree in genetics. With that, I would like to become a genetic counselor and help couples make sure their child is born safe and healthy as well as prepare them for any possible risks.

In 2013, the idea that "mumblecore" is over has finally been accepted with the near-simultaneous theatrical release of Andrew Bujalski's "Computer Chess" and the VOD release of Joe Swanberg's "Drinking Buddies," which hits theaters next month. When Bujalski's "Funny Ha Ha" emerged in 2002, "Sundance movies" were the innocuously quirky, modestly-budgeted norm, which didn't make for a clear new narrative about American indies. Bujalski's "Funny Ha Ha" and its direct descendants provided an easily parsable network of pricklier movies whose relationship to each other was clear both stylistically and in the number of overlapping people acting in or otherwise collaborating on others' work. Here's a look at some of the principle filmmakers from that group and where they are now.
Andrew Bujalski
"Funny Ha Ha' marked the first time I'd seen passive-aggressive conversations in which all involved have the paramount goal of not hurting each others' feelings captured with such devastating precision. This awkwardness may be Bujalski's most influential signature: without "Funny Ha Ha," Lena Dunham might not exist. But pigeonholing the movie as a zeitgeist time capsule suggests Bujalski's big achievement is making a smarter "Reality Bites" rather than a fully realized social comedy of tepid manners. "Funny Ha Ha" and Bujalski's 2005 "Mutual Appreciation" function as indexes of the many ways in which a specific peer group (post-collegiate, white, comfortable with and actively pursuing life with minimal financial resources) can fail to communicate with each other. 2009's "Beeswax" had more fully evolved adults struggling to understand the civil lawsuit process, a novel but illuminating topic.
His new film "Computer Chess" is bracingly weird, exchanging the fully-scripted awkwardness of his previous work for largely improvised group interactions and meditations from the early '80s on how technology would change our lives. On first pass, it's almost unfathomably strange, but repeat viewings yield a thematically tight, densely parsable movie in which the glitches caused by a 1969 Portapak video camera visually illustrate how computers and other technologies meant to be passive tools end up actively deciding for us what we can and want to do.
Joe Swanberg
Swanberg cranked out twelve features between 2006 and 2012 centered on sexual confusion and dissatisfied relationships mediated/exacerbated by technology, beginning with "Kissing On The Mouth" (conceived in part as a corrective response to the buttoned-up passive-aggression of "Funny Ha Ha"). After early films in which the zoom button was grievously overused, Swanberg settled down visually and started carefully framing his shots; the results can sometimes be striking; the first third of 2009's "Alexander The Last" is actively pretty, something I never thought I'd say of a Swanberg film.
Where Bujalski's first three films were rigorously scripted, Swanberg's movies are derived from extensive improvisation; your response to them will be dependent on how productive you find watching inexperienced performers trying to act natural by speaking with lots of padding and filler. His internet-centric angle can result in instant time capsules -- 2011's "Uncle Kent" has a lot of ChatRoulette action, already making it a bit of a relic. His new "Drinking Buddies" has neither sex nor technological action, and the actors (name-ish stars like Olivia Wilde, a first) seem lost in a series of generic one-on-one confrontations lacking Swanberg's demographic specificity and credibility.
The Duplass Brothers
2005's "The Puffy Chair" was a jockier gloss on "Funny Ha Ha"'s conversational awkwardness, while Jay and Mark Duplass' 2008 follow-up "Baghead" was an unwieldy but mostly intriguing blend of micro-budget filmmaking mechanics satire and self-aware "Scream"-esque laughs. Mark and Jay Duplass' subsequent dramedies ("Cyus," "Jeff, Who Lives At Home" and "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon") are wearisome variants of stories about arrested adolescent males goaded into tentative self-actualization through broadly comic awkward social interactions and the patient prodding of weary women. The best thing to come out of the sibling duo's lapsed promise is Mark's emergence as a reliable, always welcome character actor seemingly everywhere from FX's "The League" to "Zero Dark Thirty." The duo is currently developing a new series for HBO.
Kentucker Audley
Memphis native and recent Brooklyn transplant Kentucker Audley 2007's "Team Picture" is a deceptively low-impact but precisely calibrated slice of aimless hanging out in a very specific semi-urban milieu. 2010's "Holy Land" (which you can and should watch in full on YouTube) is even punchier, morphing from a fragmented W.-era summer road trip into a "David Holzman's Diary" interlude where the actor flees the shoot, interrupting the narrative —which then resumes as if nothing's happened. Audley also runs NoBudge.com, his curated streaming platform for micro-budget films he approves of and said in an email he's also working on "a new site that will expand our coverage to crowdfunding campaigns, web videos/series, and news from the true indie world."
Frank V. Ross
I only caught up with Frank V. Ross by his fifth feature, 2010's sorely overlooked "Audrey The Trainwreck" —the mumblecore equivalent of the volatile mood-swings and unexpected provocations of "Punch-Drunk Love." 2012's "Tiger Tail In Blue" is less overtly eccentric, a rare movie about people who spend the majority of their time either at an unrewarding job (waiting, in this case) or drinking to unwind afterwards. The opening titles come 55 minutes into the movie, a typical indication of Ross' refreshing willingness to mess with expectations even (almost exclusively) on the smallest but still disruptive levels. A regular presence in Swanberg's films, for my money Ross has way more to offer than his regular collaborator.
Aaron Katz
2006's "Dance Party, USA" tackled rape and youth mating rituals in a commendably unflappable way, totally avoiding the terrain of Larry Clark-ish panic or prurience, while the next year's "Quiet City" was an NYC "Before Sunrise" with a more annoying central couple. 2010's "Cold Weather" was a whole other creature from either, an overtly scripted comedy about professionally unmoored twentysomethings that without warning suddenly becomes a surprisingly non-shambling detective story. Katz hasn't made another film yet, though hopefully he'll re-emerge eventually.
Greta Gerwig
Like Duplass, Greta Gerwig's crossed over to a wider audience regularly. 2010's "Greenberg" provided a near leading-lady showcase after she had worked with Swanberg and the Duplasses (she took a directing credit with Swanberg on "Nights and Weekends," which brought her to the attention of Noah Baumbach). After that, there were some unremarkable detours (playing Russell Brand's girlfriend in the remake of "Arthur," a stint in Woody Allen's "To Rome With Love") followed by her triumphant mastery of Whit Stillman's idiosyncratically stylized dialogue and flights of verbal fancy in 2011's "Damsels In Distress." An actress once noted for flustered indecision and panicked grins of humiliation has mastered disciplined artifice, even while finding new variations on a signature persona (most notably in "Frances Ha," which she co-wrote).

Tom Behnke
A Muslim-majority housing association board that refused to provide funding for a Christmas tree has come under fire from the Conservative Party.
Tom Behnke, the Conservative citizenship spokesman, is furious that a majority on the board of the Egedalsvænge housing association in Kokkedal have refused to spend DKK 5,000-7,000 on the traditional Christmas tree with lights.
Earlier in the year, the same majority donated DKK 60,000 for a large Eid party with bouncy castles and climbing walls.
"I think it's deeply alarming that our integration efforts are so ineffective that the moment there is a Muslim majority, we do away with good-old Danish traditions and introduce Muslim traditions instead," said Behnke.
We're living in Denmark
Behnke believes that the Muslim majority in the housing complex has misunderstood something.
"We're living in Denmark, and people have to adapt to the situation that applies here," he said.
When asked whether housing associations with a Muslim minority should sponsor an Eid party, Behnke replied:
"We have to remember that in the past, an Eid festival was the Muslims' victory celebration after they had slaughtered the Christians, so I don't know how much there is to celebrate in Denmark. Still, people should be allowed to celebrate whatever festivals they want to, but they also must respect the festivals in the country they've come to."
"Respect Danish traditions"
Behnke fears that some people are trying to convert Denmark into a Muslim country.
"There's no point in wanting to convert Denmark into a Muslim country because you yourself have a Muslim background. That must never happen. On the contrary, we must have mutual respect for one another. This is a lack of respect for Danish traditions and culture. We must not have a Denmark where Danish traditions disappear as soon as there is a Muslim majority," said Behnke.
Behnke said that he felt sorry for the minority on the Egedalsvænge estate, who for the first time in many years would not be getting a Christmas tree.

How Jake Gyllenhaal Sees Cops After 'End of Watch'
Jake Gyllenhaal has been receiving critical acclaim for both his New York stage debut in "If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet," and his on-screen performance in David Ayer's gritty cop drama, "End of Watch."
In the film, Gyllenhaal plays Brian Taylor, a streetwise LAPD officer who stumbles upon a massive drug cartel while on duty with his partner Mike Zavala (played by Michael Pena). It's intense and at times, difficult to watch, but the relationship between Taylor and Zavala ground the story, and give it depth.
"The movie means a lot to me," Gyllenhaal said. "What I pride myself in is being able to read that script and see the heart in that movie. I think Michael prides himself too in that we, on day two, were able to bring the heart out."
To prepare for their roles, Gyllenhaal and Pena spent five months with police officers, two or three nights a week. Over time, the actors became friends with the cops, and Gyllenhaal said the experience changed his view. "Every time I look into a cop car at this point, I see two beating hearts," he said in an interview. "Two human beings with a history."
Speakeasy caught up with Gyllenhaal, 31 years old.
What did you observe firsthand about the way cops are regarded?
When you see two people entering a situation as first responders that they will have very little jurisdiction over after they leave that area, and then also they have no idea what they're encountering before they even get there, I think you start to understand why, out of context, police officers at times have been given a bad rap. That's not to say everybody's always behaved well, I'm not saying that. But I am saying that in general, many of the police officers we worked with always joked that everybody loves firemen, and everybody dislikes the police. My opinion of it is that there is a huge stigma that comes with that uniform, whether you are watching it come towards you or whether you're wearing it. I've had the privilege and opportunity of wearing it, and what I tried to do was spend five months on the street to try and take that stigma out of putting it on and having it feel like a batsuit. Every time I look into a cop car at this point, I see two beating hearts. Two human beings with a history.
You and Michael Pena spend a lot of scenes ribbing each other. Did you ever go off script?
The biggest reason I was drawn to the project was because of the dialogue between these two guys. The heart of the movie exists in that car, and a lot of the things that David [Ayer] wrote are in that car, and were written that way. I would say 90% of the movie is written and that dialogue is Dave's. Then I would say another 10% of it is me and Mike giving each other crap and enjoying little things in the middle of Dave's dialogue. But there's only one scene that is fully improvised – the scene where he asks me if I'm going to marry a Mexican girl, and we start talking about coffee, and I talk about his mother's quinceanera and his kids' quinceanera. That whole scene is completely improvised, but in a way it's not improvised in that Dave wrote us both back stories that were four pages long. Because we had spent five months preparing for the movie, and had spent so much time together, particularly me, Michael and Dave, a lot of that is Dave. Dave's wife is Mexican and he grew up in South Central L.A. and he was raised by a lot of Hispanic culture. He has such a deep, profound respect for Hispanic culture. He would always say, when are you going to marry a Mexican girl? So Mike used that. And Mike and I would always get coffee, after or before anything we were doing. I would go and get him coffee or vice versa, so he jokes about that stuff, but he is actually so particular about his coffee and his coffee-drinking, so he's actually the one that's so particular [laughs]. It all came out of real stuff. So it was improvisation but somehow it was written also.
Tell us about your next project, "An Enemy."
We finished production on it at the end of July, and then I went right to rehearsals for the play. Denis Villeneuve, who directed it, is cutting it now. I play two roles in "An Enemy." It's actually the story about a man who is married and his wife is pregnant with their child. He, at the same time, in another personality is having an affair, and there are two personalities and he needs to reconcile the two in order to make a commitment to his marriage. It's his journey reconciling both sides of himself. At the same time, it's a thriller on this whole other level, where there could be actually two people. What happens is a question of identity, when you meet yourself. So, there are two things going on but if we succeed at pulling that off – it was a fascinating process, and a very technical process, which I really enjoyed.
Are you signed on to play a detective in Villeneuve's next film, "Prisoners"?
I don't know exactly. We're talking about it, yeah. I hope so and I loved working with him and if I get to work with him again, it'll be really exciting. It would be an evolution because my character [in "End of Watch"] does say, "I want to be a detective."

Hi gang, long time no post ...
Just to share a few pics from Porto Santo Island here in Madeira archipelago. Its 9km of fine sand, water at 28 degrees, surely one of the best natural beaches in Europe ... IMHO...

If I understand correctly, both GWT and Google Closure are JS API's for building web applications. What is the difference between them?
Closure is a JavaScript library (really more like a collection of libraries, but that are all packaged as a single library and that can be imported using
GWT is a Java toolkit (and associated libraries) that can take code written purely in Java, and convert it into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, allowing a web application to be written purely in Java (but served as a real, HTML5 website, rather than as an annoying, slow-to-load Java applet).
A project written in GWT can make use of the Closure library and can include JavaScript code. However, Closure is really targeted toward developers writing JavaScript, while GWT is for Java developers.

Heading into fall, I had saved up 30 vacation days, all ear-marked to hunt one particular buck. As luck would have it, that specific deer passed within 25 steps of my stand on the opening day of the season. With six weeks of "use it or lose it" vacation time in the bank, I decided to pursue some other interests in the fall woods, including filming hunts and trying to determine if an advantage existed between the standard flash and new (at that time) infrared trail cameras.
I had used flash cameras for years with mixed results regarding their effects on alarming or "spooking" deer. Several times I had observed deer walking in front of the camera, triggering the flash and not reacting adversely. Other times they would bolt off as if they'd been shot at with a cannon. To this day, I am not sure if it's the flash or the sound of the camera firing that sometimes alarms the deer, but I definitely had better luck getting multiple photos of the same deer with infrared cams.
My field test with the infrared units consisted of setting up multiple cameras over freshly worked field edge scrapes. My reasoning for choosing field edge scrapes is the belief that they are primarily visited by deer after dark and the chance of me bumping a deer at midday would be greatly reduced. Although I took precautions not to contaminate the area around the scrape, it was obvious that my continued visits to pull the camera SD memory cards were adversely affecting whitetail activity.
Years ago, I watched a video of bloodhounds being trained by corrections officers to track escaped prisoners. Twelve hours after the "make believe" prisoner zig-zagged across a cut stubble field, the hounds were able to track him step for step. A whitetail's nose is every bit as sensitive as a bloodhound's. I can't think of a better way to negatively alter deer movement than repeated human intrusion.
Again, a conventional trail camera is an extremely valuable scouting tool. However, to truly stay on top of what's happening in a given area, you need to visit the camera frequently to view the photos. The wireless trail camera has eliminated this problem and allows the hunter to monitor, real time, what's passing through a particular area, without contaminating the area with human scent.
In the fall of 2008, I hunted an area that was difficult to access. To get to where I felt I needed to be, I was forced to traverse a rock wall. There was one cut in the wall that both myself and the deer could use to get up and down the ridge — a perfect bottleneck. I set up a wireless trail camera at the head of the cut and was able to monitor deer activity at the pinch point 24/7 without ever having to climb up the ridge. Over a three month period, I was able to capture multiple pictures of a mature buck in the area, which ultimately led to my son Ryan taking his best buck to date (a 180-inch non-typical) during the last week of the Ohio bow season.
Wireless trail cameras like those made by Moultrie and Smart Scouter have shown me that the longer I can leave a unit undisturbed in a heavily used deer travel area, the more accurate my reconnaissance will be.
On occasion, a wireless trail camera has prevented me from bumping a deer in close proximity to my stand site. One particular morning last fall, I was outside the truck gathering up gear for an all-day hunt when an email from a wireless system came across my iPhone. The photo showed a nice buck within 50 yards of the tree I planned to hunt. The fear of spooking the deer prompted me to forgo the morning hunt with hopes that he would return later in the day. Without this information, I certainly would have run this deer off, making the hill that much steeper.
A common problem with leaving traditional trail cameras out for extended periods of time without checking them is battery life. This is especially true in cold weather. Most wireless cameras have the ability to let the viewer see the battery life status from a remote location. The viewer also has the ability to remotely change camera settings such as photo quality and the delay between pictures. Another issue with traditional cameras is reliability. If your traditional camera quits taking pictures after two days and you don't check it for a week, you may just assume it wasn't in a very active place. In reality, it just didn't take any pictures. With wireless systems, you know immediately if the camera fails.
Living in one of the more remote areas of the Buckeye State, I often get phone calls from friends and acquaintances asking, "What are the deer doing?" Or "Are they moving down your way?" Many of these calls are from absentee landowners or land leasers that live great distances from their hunting grounds. If these hunters had wireless cameras positioned in strategic areas of their property, they would know firsthand if the deer were moving or not, rather than relying so much on reports from locals.

I was at a theater event last week here in Folsom, CA where I live and while it was a fun event one things stood out: During the first 10 minutes or so there were 3 different times when I was compelled to clap but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to… so I didn't!
It made me think of that old adage "Pause for applause." Sure enough, later in the show they did a better job of signaling to the crowd when it was time to clap but there is a lesson to be learned from all of this – when you want someone to do something you need to make it obvious because people don't do things that may make them feel stupid or waste their time.
What does this have to do with marketing and local publications? Everything!
How often have you heard a local business say, "I tried that and it didn't work"?
How often have you, as a publisher, experimented with something new only to have it fail or just tread-water? Odds are, it wasn't the 'thing' that was wrong it was how you did it – you and your advertisers likely had poor calls to action. If you want someone to take action tell them, clearly, obviously, right-in-their-face-so-they-don't-have-to-look-for-it-obvious.
It's for this very reason that we have created a common set of standard graphics for our affiliates to use in print and on their websites as part of our Print-to-Web strategy. We don't want to leave it to chance and we know that poor or inconsistent calls to action lead to poor and inconsistent results. Don't believe? Take in some community theater and you can feel when the call to action is missing.
So, ensure your advertisers have compelling, clear calls-to-action in their ads and any new initiative that you take on please make sure you KISS and Pause for Applause i.e. keep-it-simple-stupid and clearly explain what people should do.

"I don't dwell in the past," Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) tells his former partner Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) in their first conversation in a decade, but neither can escape it. For Martin, the past is a series of mistakes and choices he's continually trying to correct, to varying degrees of success. When he meets Rust, he tells him he's trying (again) to stay away from the bottle, revealing he hasn't had a drop in a few weeks (suggesting he's forever relapsing into bad habits). As for Rust, the past continues to consume him in the shape of Reggie Ledoux, with the unanswered questions and knowledge that his death was just one loose thread in a larger tangle of horror still lingering. But where has Rust been?
Detective Maynard Gilbough (Michael Potts) and Detective Thomas Papania (Tory Kittles) have been throwing a cloud of suspicion around Rust in their interviews, questioning whether or not he's truly been away. But Rust tells Martin the same story he told the detectives. "Most of the last decade I spent stone drunk. Functional, but hammered," he says, confirming that he was working fishing boats and tending bar in Alaska. But it's the "debt" he feels he owes that brought Rust back to Louisiana in 2010, and he knows that Martin also feels there's work that needs to be finished. He reminds Martin that shooting Reggie Ledoux in the head closed off any opportunities they had to find out the extent of the conspiracy—a theory Rust has been diligently re-building for the past two years. But he needs Martin's help and connections to bring it all together and decides to share with him what he hasn't shown anyone else.
The pair head to the mysterious storage locker that Gilbough and Papania have been asking to see, and within is a room papered with maps, drawings, the words The Yellow King, Scars and Carcosa written on the walls—it looks, as Martin assesses, like the work of someone who has been "alone too long." But Rust has a helluva story to tell, and Martin can't deny that it's compelling. It's a theory Rust describes as a "sprawl," with the latest link in the chain the Lake Charles murder, which still has yet to be reported in the press. And it spreads to numerous women and children who have disappeared along the bayou, often within a ten-mile radius of a Tuttle school. It goes back further, with Rust establishing something perhaps generational, with current state senator Eddie Tuttle a cousin to the late Reverend Billy Tuttle, and certainly someone with the power to keep the killings under wraps. But as Martin notes, it's all "conjecture" at this point, and Rust still has no real evidence with which to make his case, and delicately, his sanity is questioned. "I had my time when I wondered if this was all in my head," Rust states. "That time has passed."
But Rust needs Martin's "access" to case files and research databases to keep going, and he'll need to convince him that this isn't a wild goose chase spurred by guilt or mourning. And again, Rust shares with Martin what he hasn't told Gilbough and Papania (because as he says, they might be unknowing "pawns" in the grand scheme of this horror). Rust admits to casing and breaking into two of Tuttle's home, noting that only one of the robberies was ever officially reported, and what he found cleared away any notions that he might have been building something out of nothing. In Tuttle's safe, Rust uncovered photos that confirm rituals involving children, but it's a terrifying video documenting the death of Marie Fonteneau (cleverly remaining mostly off screen, though showing a girl being held down by a group of men in masks, with her legs open, which says all you need to know) that seals the deal that Rust is on to something. He didn't kill Tuttle as Gilbough and Papania believe, but Rust thinks that once word got out among the people the Reverend associated with about what was taken from safe, he was eliminated. Martin is convinced, and he's on board.
What follows is an old-fashioned investigation. Martin is four years off the force, quitting after finding a dead baby in a microwave belonging to an meth addict, vowing it would be the last time he'd ever subject himself to something like that. But he's now running his own private investigation service, and still knows the right people in uniform to bribe with a bottle of single malt to get the info he needs. And it turns out Rust's idea that the truth behind the killings involves "family trees" is spot on. But no matter how far the branches spread, the answer lies with one person: the man with the scars.
Marty and Rust continue to dig, and everything starts coalescing after a visit with an elderly former employee of Sam Tuttle, the Reverend's father. She reveals that Sam had children with many women, implying that after they had given birth, he was no longer interested in them. And when Rust asks about any of the kids having scars, the woman reveals that she knew him, and he was a grandchild on the Childress side of the family. And then things take a turn to the eerie when Rust shows her some drawings of the strange twig sculptures. "Carcosa," she says before repeating over and over, "Death is not the end, rejoice." To remind you, as writer/creator Nic Pizzolatto has stated, "…Carcosa is the domain of the Yellow King. For viewers it should be taken as a signifier of the larger mythology unfolding around this case."
That mythology goes all way back to the series first episode "The Long Bright Dark" (that you'll definitely want to rewatch). Dora Lange's body was found just outside of Erath, which we learn is the home of the Tuttle family, on January 3rd, notably pointed at the sun. Why is that date significant? Because Rust believes that part of the rituals involved in the killings center around Saturnalia, a festival of light, celebrating the winter solstice, which in ancient times involved human sacrifice. Other practices of Saturnalia are presided over by a priest with his head covered. Sound familiar? There's more. The illustration of the "green eared spaghetti monster" first surfaced in the premiere episode, as does the name Ted Childress, the sheriff who first took the report about the missing Marie Fonteneau. And then there's Steve Geraci (Michael Harvey). He beefed briefly with Rust way back in 1995 in the police department, but his role turns out be much bigger than expected. He took the original complaint about Marie Fonteneau, and moreover, Erath was his beat, so if there was anyone able to make a case disappear, or at least know the players involved, it would be him. So Martin makes the first play to try and get some info out of Geraci in 2012, and it becomes clear he's lying. So Plan B is enacted, and before the episode closes, Rust has Geraci at gunpoint on Martin's boat, willing to do whatever it takes to get the answers he needs.
But the final twist of the episode is perhaps the most resonant. "You know the detective's curse? Solution was right under my nose, but I was paying attention to the wrong clues?" Martin previous asked rhetorically of Gilbough and Papania, but little does he realize how prophetic that statement will be. Those two detectives close out "After You've Gone" following up on Rust's stories, heading to The Son Of Life church, again last seen in "The Long Bright Dark," and they are hopelessly lost (reminder: the minister played by Clarke Peters told Rust and Martin that the twig sculptures were taught to him to be "devil's nets"). The pair stop to ask a man riding a lawnmower for directions, and he informs them the church has long since closed and gives them directions back to the highway. "I know the whole coast," the man tells the cops, who quickly drive away. They should have stuck around. As the man gets up, his face his scarred, he continues the conversation with himself, intoning with a palpable chill, "...my family's been here a long, long time."
Attentive viewers have seen this man before: in episode three, "The Locked Room," Rust talks to him outside The Way Of The Light school (where he was also mowing the lawn) as they were trying to track down Reggie Ledoux. Perhaps he didn't see the man's scars under the beard he had at the time. Or perhaps he was struck by the detective's curse, unable to see solution right in front of his face. As Flavorwire pointed out a week ago, the Lawnmower Man (as they call him) is the key to The Yellow King, and he's been hiding in plain sight. And for all the wild theories being spun about the secrets behind the killings, the fact that the biggest clue is out the open, undiscovered, is perhaps the most frightening.

In total I would be spending approx $425 US / $495 AUS.
Why would anyone buy this same player (or equivalent) locally, when importing it is so much cheaper?

We sometimes call these people transsexuals, some of whom hormonally and/or surgically change their sex to more fully match their gender identity.
|Differing from the heterosexual norm. Although sometimes used in a derogatory sense, the word is also used without any negative intentions in colloquial and academic settings as an umbrella term to describe gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons.
|A person attracted physically and emotionally to some men and some women.
|A broad term used to describe individuals whose gender identity and expression, when measured against conventional notions of sexuality and gender, do not correspond to their genetic sex.
|A fear or hatred of homosexuality, especially of others but also in oneself.
|An overt or implied bias against homosexuality
|This can be considered as our "packaging" is determined by our chromosomes, our hormones, and our internal and external genitalia. Some people can be defined as intersexuals born with ciological aspects of both sexes to varying degrees. So, in actuality, there are more than two sexes.

Bashkir President Rustem Khamitov
UFA, Russia – The Tatar community in Bashkortostan says it will hold a mass rally in Ufa next week in support of a Bashkir youth campaign against what they call anti-Muslim actions by security forces, RFE/RL's Tatar-Bashkir Service reports.
Bashkir youth organizations complain that in the last several months, observant Muslim Bashkir families have been subjected to repeated searches and interrogated by law enforcement and security service officers. They say police and security officers violated Muslims' civil rights by not giving reasons for their actions.
Last month, several Bashkir youth movements and organizations urged Bashkortostan's president, Rustem Khamitov, and the republic's prosecutor-general, interior minister, and security service leadership to investigate "the violations of Muslims' rights."
Mazhit Khuzhin, deputy chairman of the Tatar National and Cultural Autonomy in Bashkortostan, said on Wednesday (June 8) that in order to avoid violating federal law, the gathering on Tuesday (June 14) will be held as one of independent individuals, not of any ethnic organization.

//gorgeous statue at the Mandarin in Etobicoke. (Canon 30d)
Wherever she came from, she was gorgeous and comdemned to a life holding up decorative soy sauce at The Mandarin Chinese Buffet in Etobicoke. Everyone whirls around this statue, too busy being shameless gluttons to even notice her there.
I wonder if the owners would be willing to part with it... how much cash to save her? Maybe we can raise the cash. Seriously.
EXHIBIT: I already mentioned this yesterday, but again, thanks to all who came out to the book launch on Saturday. It was a bit of a circus but still incredible to see all your wonderful faces.
I don't have many photos of the evening, but I've tagged what exists on flickr... HERE. If you have photos from the event, tag them "CircaBookLaunch"!

Exclusive: New SAVAGED Trailer Gives 'Em Hell!
I had not realized that the lads behind revenge horror flick Savaged were so close to completion, yet here we are on the eve of the film's unveiling at some premium international festivals. You can see Savaged at its Asian Premiere at Busan on the 11th and 12th. It will have its American premiere at Screamfest in L.A on the 14th and 15th. Then it can be seen at Sitges on the 18th and 19th. And we have first crack at the new trailer which you will find below!
While traveling across country, Zoe, a lovely deaf mute woman, stumbles on a horrific crime - a gang of rednecks slaughtering two Native American boys. Zoe's brave attempt to save one of the boys seals her fate. She is captured, raped and left for dead. When an Indian shaman finds her clinging to life in a shallow grave he attempts to save her - but something goes horribly wrong. The spirit of an ancient Apache warrior takes host of Zoe's dead body. So now she walks amongst the living, hell-bent on getting revenge. One by one she slaughters the men who brutalized her, while the clock ticks away on her quickly decomposing body.

Beautiful map! For a first attempt, this is extremely impressive. I really love your style and can't wait to see an update with it populated!
The only suggestion I can make is to maybe try darkening the background a bit, so that it contrasts with the lighter cavern interior.
EDIT: By populated, I mean with elements related to the types of creatures your players will encounter. For example, some spider webs throughout, or just in the main section where they hang out.

Since November, city officials had been shaping the duties for the proposed position. What emerged was a hearing officer whose duties would include code enforcement cases, animal control issues and nuisance abatement.
Then in May state lawmakers voted to shift red-light camera appeals from the courts to cities and counties that use the automated traffic enforcement devices. A backlog of the appeals in courts inspired the switch, which takes place July 1.
So New Port Richey officials intend to add red-light camera appeals to the special magistrate job description. City council is scheduled to discuss final passage of the special magistrate ordinance at its Tuesday, June 18, meeting.
Hearings would be held at City Hall rather than in County Court, City Attorney Jim Lang explained during first reading of the ordinance that would create the special magistrate position.
In addition, the magistrate could administer liens against code enforcement violators.
Costs tend to go down with the hearing-officer system, Lang said. He based the New Port Richey magistrate ordinance on one in place in St. Pete Beach.
While the city will inherit red-light camera appeals July 1, the new state law extended the deadline for appeals to 60 days, interim City Manager Susan Dillinger said. That's twice as long as drivers used to get to challenge a violation notice. The revision in the state law is not retroactive for any red-light camera cases before July 1.
The 60-day window for appeals gives the city some breathing room on hiring a hearing officer, Dillinger noted. That means the city could take as long as Sept. 1 to have a special magistrate in place to hear red-light camera cases.
New Port Richey officials are talking to their Port Richey counterparts about sharing the costs of having a special magistrate handle red=light citation appeals. Port Richey, however, might restrict its special magistrate to red-light camera appeals. The multifaceted approach in New Port Richey makes it difficult to know at first just how much time a magistrate might need to handle the caseload, Lang said.
County courts remain an option if the city hearing officer becomes overloaded with cases. Dillinger has said the city likely would pay its magistrate a flat per-hour rate.
Candidates for the new position have to be members of the Florida Bar, according to interim Police Chief Kim Bogart. There are, however, some exceptions.
"There are a lot of pieces that will fall into place" after the job is filled, Bogart said. The police department likely would have to assign a clerk to coordinate with the magistrate. The city clerk's office likely will have to provide minutes of hearings.
Councilman Jeff Starkey asked if there would be a bailiff to provide security at magistrate hearings. That is one of the questions yet to be determined, Bogart said.
"It sounds like we're going to have manpower issues," Councilman Bill Phillips said. He's glad county courts can serve as a backup.
