Life on Mars (2006)
13 corrected entries in season 1
Starring: Dean Andrews, John Simm, Liz White, Philip Glenister
Corrected entry: Carling is seen at his locker putting a cassette tape in his pocket after Billy Kemble's death. If he did have a transcript, why did he have a brawl with Di Tyler later on over another one? Skelton only made one copy.
Correction: He's heading out of the station, it's more likely that he was putting his police badge in his pocket, considering it looks like a leather item.
Corrected entry: In a car chase, "Love Lies Bleeding" by Elton John is used. It didnt come out as an album track until November of 1973.
Correction: The series is set in 1973 and 1974; an episode is set on New Year's Eve, 1973 and New Year's Day 1974.
Corrected entry: When Sam wakes up in 1973 he is on a building site that is the Mancunian way under construction, this road was completed in 1967. (Though producers deliberately decided to include this, it is still a mistake within the context of the show.)
Correction: The series is not even set in the 70's, it's set in purgatory, so who knows what may be different.
Corrected entry: The Austin Allegro panda car parked outside the police station is a series 3 model which didn't start production until 1979, and this programme is set in 1973.
Corrected entry: Dialogue in the episode states that the date was 16 March 1973. However, in the first scene, the song that is played on the soundtrack is "Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet, which was not released until August 1973.
Corrected entry: In episode three, there is a building in the background somewhere with the letters "PALACE" on the side, this is a hotel. However in 1973 the very same building was called the Refuge not the Palace.
Correction: The series is not set in 1973, it is set in purgatory so anything goes as far as factual errors go.
Corrected entry: Sam conducted the taped interview, stating that it was 'Wednesday 16th March'. In 1973, 16 March was a Friday, not a Wednesday. However, 16 March was a Wednesday in 2005, the year the episode was written.
Correction: The series is not set in the actual 70's but a purgatory for dead or dying coppers meaning that it would not follow the exact timeline of the 70's.
Corrected entry: A policeman trips over the steps in the background during a chat between Gene and Sam.
Corrected entry: When Sam Tyler first gets out of his Jeep Cherokee, you can see a blue car coming towards him. By the time the camera cuts back to a birds-eye view, the blue car is gone. We don't see it pass, and there is not enough time elapsed for it to have passed.UKFilmFan
Correction: This blue car is the very car that runs Sam over just a few seconds into the next shot, back at ground level, looking at Sam through his own vehicle's interior. That is why we don't see it pass.
Corrected entry: The Ford Zephyr police car has a G registration, which means it was first registered between August 1968 and July 1969. This car is a Mark 3 model, which ceased production in 1966, so the latest registration letter it should have is D. This programme is set in 1973, even then I don't think the police would be using such an old car.
Correction: The police got quite attached to certain cars that perform well for them, and when a car is about to be stopped being manufactured, the various Police forces will buy up a load of them for use, but they won't necessarily be registered right away, hence the late 'G' reg. Also back in the 60's and 70's, Police forces didn't have a 3 year/ 150,000 mileage retirement on the cars either, so there would have been no reason why that car couldn't still be in use in '73.
Corrected entry: The episode has a specific date attached to it: 16th March 1973. Yet in the episode, Austin Allegro police "panda" cars can be seen. The Austin Allegro did not go on sale until 17th May 1973, exactly two months later.
Correction: In the series finale we discover that Sam's seventies world is in his imagination so this and many other mistakes will be due to Sam misremembering his childhood in this era.
Corrected entry: Some of the houses have double glazing even though this would not have been available in 1973.
Correction: Rubbish, my parents' house, built in the late sixties, has always had double glazing.umathegreatstationarybear
Corrected entry: After Sam wakes up on the building site, the Police Constable replies sarcastically, "You were driving a military vehicle", when Sam claims the car isn't his, and that he was driving a jeep. This isn't strictly true - the Range Rover went into production in 1970, and the Land Rover Defender into production during the 1940's, so it's not implausible that Sam Tyler could have owned/been driving a "jeep".UKFilmFan
Correction: Nobody in the UK would ever refer to a Land Rover or Range Rover as a jeep. Even these days Jeeps are not common in the UK; in the timeframe of the series privately owned Jeeps would be practically unheard of and nearly everybody would still associate Jeeps with the military. What the policeman says is hardly unreasonable.Tailkinker

In 2011 - 2012, Ebor Concretes worked with Morgan Sindall to develop a precast concrete alternative to the in-situ scheme proposed by Architect Glen Howells and Engineer BWB Consulting for a new centre court for the Priory Tennis Club at Edgbaston.
The Ebor design provided spectator terracing to the centre court and outside match courts plus court walls, access steps and an access tunnel. At the two ends of the court terrace seating units spanned between precast dividing walls and to the sides of the court, the terracing was supported on raker beams laid on the earth banks. In some areas the court walls were designed to be earth retaining and precast retaining walls were also supplied to rear of the spectator terraces.
All units were manufactured in a 10 week period and delivered to site in April 2012 where they were erected by PCE Limited ahead of preparation of the new grass court for its official opening in the Spring of 2013.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in several methods. The client might be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain illness, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased significantly.
Nevertheless, it must be well remembered that a patient with an eye issue might have other problems as well. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can inform the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
Consequently, one's dependence on sight is emphasized when one deals with a short-lived or possible irreversible loss of this crucial sense. For this reason, when restorative procedures are looked for, particular forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were developed to encourage reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of view it unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, allowing better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to understand. Most likely, the primary reason that this kind of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is because the majority of its cases had been effective.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, many people state that the operation can be really dangerous.
In other words, a simple mistake might almost cause an person's life visit homepage time loss of sight. It is important to think about numerous factors before deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the best corrective step one has to go through.
2. It is not a ideal procedure
LASIK eye surgery may fix your vision however it does not necessarily indicate that it can offer you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily suggest they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the perfect eye surgery the method the majority of linked here people see it
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. It ought to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem might have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can signal the doctor and the client to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction.
Two Factors You Do Definitely Not Have Information With Respect To LASIK Eye Surgical Procedures
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.

The culinary event to the season, Chefs in the Garden, will be held September 12, at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks in Fayetteville. Guests stroll the garden, sampling food from some of the best chefs around, enjoying great drinks, and watching cooking demonstrations.
Here are two recipes from Chef Vince Pianalto, the honorary chair for this great event. For tickets, visit bgozarks.org.
Citrus Olive Oil Cake
(Serves 8)
>>1 1/8 cups all purpose flour
>>1/2 teaspoons baking powder
>>1/2 teaspoon salt
>>1 egg
>>3/4 cup sugar
>>1/4 cup milk
>>1/4 cup Filippo Berio EVOO
>>1 teaspoon zest of citrus (citrus of your choice)
Preheat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, milk and olive oil until combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt in two additions, ½ portion at a time.
Prepare muffin tins by lining with paper or spraying with nonstick spray. Fill to 3/4 full. Bake for 14-18 minutes. This time depends on size of muffin tin.
Cool on rack and then dust with powdered sugar or glaze with icing of your choice.
Pasta and Broccoli al Aglio
(Serves 8)
>>12 ounces pasta (farfalle, penne, or shape you prefer)
>>2 broccoli crowns
>>10-12 peeled garlic cloves
>>3/4 cup Filippo Berio olive oil
>>1/2 cup freshly grated romano or asiago cheese
>>salt and pepper to taste
Bring several quarts of water to boil with 2 teaspoons of salt. "Salted not salty," my grandma would say.
Drop in pasta and stir occasionally. Cool to al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain. Set aside. Cut broccoli into florets, small sized. Blanch in boiling water. I actually drop broccoli into the pasta pot with 2-3 minutes left to boil. This saves a pot!
Slice garlic as thin as possible. In large sauté pan, add olive oil and turn heat to med high. Add garlic. Swirl pan to move garlic around. The garlic should bubble. When they color JUST around the edges, remove from heat and let the residual heat toast the garlic. (If garlic burns and turns black, it will be horribly bitter. You want golden brown color.)
Toss the drained broccoli and pasta into pan with garlic and olive oil. Stir to combine. Portion onto plates and sprinkle with cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.

Monza, Italy: Nico Rosberg was booed in Belgium after a collision with Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton but the Formula One leader will raise a cheer from Ferrari fans if he does it again at Monza on Sunday.
The chances of that happening at the `Pista Magica`, the venerable cathedral of Italian motorsport set in a former royal park near Milan, look even less likely than Ferrari winning, however.
Mercedes said last week, after a meeting with both drivers, that both understood the team`s number one rule that there must be no contact between them on the track and another incident would not be tolerated.
Hamilton, who tweeted on Tuesday that his aim was "to claw back" the lead from Rosberg after dropping 29 points behind with seven races remaining, said then that both had accepted they made mistakes at Spa.
"The fans want to see a clean fight until the end of the season and that's what we want to give them," added the 2008 world champion, who had complained at Spa that Rosberg hit him `on purpose`.
"It's going to be a tough road from here but Championships have been won from much further back than I am now."
Hamilton may have a psychological advantage going into Monza, the final European round of the season, as the aggrieved party from the previous race and he also has a better record than Rosberg.
The Briton won at the fastest track on the calendar in 2012, his last season with McLaren, and has twice been on pole while Rosberg has never finished higher than fifth and did not even get beyond the first corner in 2011.
Ferrari have not won since Fernando Alonso`s triumph in Spain in May last year and the Spaniard is not holding out much hope of giving the legion of red-shirted fans a victory to celebrate at Monza for the first time since 2010.
"Definitely we must try and have our best race of the year in front of the home crowd. We know what a great experience it is to stand on the podium at Monza, seeing the straight packed with people," he told reporters at Maranello.
"I've been lucky enough in these last four years with Ferrari to get to the podium four times and it would be fantastic to make it five.
"It's a very optimistic goal because unfortunately this year, we haven't been on the podium too often. We must be realistic, as this will be another defensive and uphill race for us, but anything can happen," he added.
The Mercedes-powered teams can again expect to be dominant, with Williams likely to be challenging for the podium, but Red Bull remain a threat.
Four times world champion Sebastian Vettel, who has been largely eclipsed by smiling Australian team mate Daniel Ricciardo, took the first win of his F1 career at Monza with Toro Rosso in 2008.
Ricciardo, who also has an Italian passport, would be the next best thing to a Ferrari winner for the home crowd and is chasing an unlikely hat-trick of wins after standing on top of the podium in Hungary and Belgium.
"I'm not really that keen on super-long straights; I find them a little dull compared to hammering through a series of demanding corners but Monza is the exception to that," said the Red Bull driver.
"There's something about flashing through those trees in front of that massive crowd that definitely gets the pulse all the way up. Also the crowd in Monza is wild.
"Obviously it's full-on Ferrari but in the past they've always been very generous to me. I'd love to get the opportunity to stand on that brilliant podium and find out," added Ricciardo.

Is Wisconsin loss beginning of the end for Donald Trump?
You know the Republican presidential race really has taken a strange turn when a man resembling a '50s throwback and widely loathed by his colleagues emerges as the darling of the party establishment.
Ted Cruz - never previously an object of widespread affection - claimed his place in the spotlight and Republican insiders' hearts with an emphatic win in Tuesday's Wisconsin primary that sets his party on course for a contested convention in Cleveland in July.
By winning this major mid-western state - and with a resounding margin - the abrasive Texas senator effectively became the sole weapon with which the party establishment can halt the march of Donald Trump.
Mr Trump, seemingly impregnable until a recent catalogue of missteps rendered him suddenly vulnerable, acknowledged as much in a blunt missive that was striking in its vituperation even by his standards.
"Donald J Trump withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again," read the statement issued by his campaign headquarters.
"Lyin' Ted Cruz had the governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him. [He] is worse than a puppet - he's a Trojan horse being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr Trump."
Fuelling the anger behind such fighting talk was Mr Cruz's margin of victory - sufficiently large to ensure that he won the lion's share of Wisconsin's 42 delegates under the state Republican party's winner-takes-most system.
That makes Mr Trump's task of reaching the magic figure of 1,327 delegates needed to secure the nomination much tougher - and opens the door to a contested convention in which GOP grandees will try to exploit any shortfall to wrest the prize away from him.
To tie up the nomination before the convention, Mr Trump must now win a much higher proportion of the delegates - 57 per cent - in the remaining contests than the 48 per cent he managed in the previous primaries while seemingly all-conquering and cutting a swathe through the Republican field.
And he will have to do it when, for the first time, there is a real sense of stalled momentum from his recent spate of miscalculations - when he advocated punishments for women having abortions, tweeted unpleasantly on Mr Cruz's wife, and defended his campaign manager for allegedly assaulting a female reporter.
The anti-Trump movement in the Republican establishment smells blood, which explains Mr Trump's own extraordinarily combative statement.
The primary cavalcade now heads to Maryland, Connecticut and - of all places - New York, the brash property tycoon's backyard, where the fight is only bound to get uglier.
From the Big Apple, Mr Trump is almost certain to throw Mr Cruz's past disparaging comments about "New York values" back at him - exploiting deep-seated emotions and memories about the city's suffering in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
It will be dirty, possibly as never before.
Addressing his supporters in Milwaukee on Tuesday night, Mr Cruz called his victory in Wisconsin "a turning point", adding: "I'm more convinced than ever that our campaign is going to earn the 1,237 delegates needed to win, either before Cleveland or at the convention in Cleveland."
To that, Mr Trump may have been thinking: "Don't speak too soon: wait till you see what I have in store for you in New York."

I can appreciate how I might feel in the same situation; I'm concerned you may be risking a sustained response in yourself.
3000 is an incredibly small viral load. Mine is considered on the low side at 1 million for a 19 year old infection.
To find out if your strategy may be effective you will have to find a comprehensive document that covers the results from all clinical trials.
It may be better for your girlfriend to wait a while for newer therapies in the pipeline.
Good luck.
Sorry to hear of your situation BUT ... When you start HARVONI you must complete the treatment as directed, whether it be 8 weeks, 12 weeks or 24 weeks. Cutting the pill in half and sharing it will not help either one of you be cured. You must take this medication as directed until it is completed in order for it to Work! One PILL per day, not HALF a pill. I would assume that you have not contacted your doctor with this information otherwise you would gotten the same answer. In addition... Once your are officially cured then your girlfriend can make an appt for her medication!
jgillette; You could be opening a whole new can of worms here you have to finish your whole treatment for one.The people that relapse are the ones that don't take it just as directed And go in and get all their blood work etc. Your girlfriend well be okay they even have better ones getting ready to hit the market.But you could even make her resistant to other treatment by just giving her half of what she should be getting.Please stop and let your doctor know what you have been doing for your sake and hers or you both could end up worse off don't screw with what is working now.
Chucks has touched on something really important here. An example is I can't take Ribavirin interferon having failed treatment on it once because the odds of clearing it on round two are small and not even worth spending money to try.
The people who fail on Harvoni don't have a pile of options left.
Not trying to be mean , but you probably wasted a very expensive medication. If you tell you Doctor you probably won't get to take treatment again. Not only are there legal issues concerning giving someone prescription medication, your insurance company will not approve again. I would stop giving her half, finish taking it, keep my mouth shout and hope for the best . You could go to jail for giving her that medication.

Student Blog: Following My Dream in Business in New Zealand
A student blog article by: Neetu Khullar – AIS Alumni 2017
Neetu Khullar recently graduated Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration at Auckland Institute of Studies (AIS). She is currently working as the store manager at Rugs & More. In this blog article she talks about her journey in New Zealand.
The Right Decision To Study PGDBA at Auckland Institute of Studies
It has been a year and five months since I arrived in New Zealand with my husband and two sons. I still remember the first day I came to AIS with my family to attend Orientation Day. I wanted to show my kids the institute where I would be studying.
My husband and I were a bit worried about getting jobs here at first. However, after the initial meeting with the Marketing and Student Services Department, we were relieved when we found that Business Administration is the pathway to a managerial role in the future. Education is the key to get jobs in New Zealand. We both landed our first jobs only 15-20 days after we landed, that was the first guidance by AIS for my family.
Great Support From AIS Student Career Centre
Internship placements are another example of the support provided by AIS. My placement helped me gain practical experience in New Zealand and I was able to apply my knowledge and previous work experience and skills. As a result, the internship pathway has proved to be the start of a successful career in New Zealand.
Real World Success
The company that provided the internship recognised all the effort I was putting into it and I was promoted to retail manager. I am now working as store manager at Rugs & More.
AIS helps guide students with their resumés, the recruitment process and interview preparation. All the support made us more confident to apply for the job positions that we want. I am an example of the hard work AIS puts into students, as I am now on my way to a successful managerial career in New Zealand.
Furthermore, the biggest achievement is that now I am offering internships to AIS students as my company really wants to hire AIS graduates because they believe in hard work and AIS students's performance.
My family has been a great support to me, my husband Rishee inspired me to achieve my goals every time and my boys Jivitesh and Jaivansh are my biggest strength as I keep on mentoring myself so that I could give them a good upbringing. I also would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all my professors, Academic Head of Business Administration Programme – Professor Richard Goodall, Marketing and Administration staff, and Alarna from the Student Career Centre for their constant support.

Ain't it a beauty? Mark Wineland designed it some nine years or so ago. But he moved, and we (and by we, I mean my parents) bought it. Then schtuck a pool in. Heated. Nice.
I think it's pretty neat and I love the wood, although when we first moved in when I was seven, I reportedly, did not fancy moving too well.
Bleck, the deadness of the pre-spring, post-winter lull. I hate not having snow. But I hate having it hot more.
And this one is just for fun. Me in my driveway.

BREAKING: Senate GOP Can't Even Pass Obamacare REPEAL ONLY Obamacare Bill
In 2015 the Republican Senate voted to repeal most of the failed Obamacare law.
The bill was vetoed by President Obama.
These liars in Congress several times to repeal Obamacare when Obama was president.
Last night the GOP Senate failed to pass a repeal and replace option for Obamacare.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's new proposal for a straight repeal of Obamacare appears to already be dead on arrival.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell then moved toward a full repeal of Obamacare, leaving Congress two years to create a replacement–it's dead.
Turncoats Susan Collins and Shelly Moore Capito announced they will not vote for a repeal only bill.
Bloomberg reports:
GOP Senators Susan Collins, Shelley Moore Capito and Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday they'll oppose a repeal of the Affordable Care Act. McConnell said late Monday the Senate would vote on a repeal with a two-year delay to give Congress time to agree on a replacement, but he could afford to lose no more than two Republican votes to advance the measure.
Repealing the law now and then hoping for a replacement "would create great anxiety for individuals who rely on the ACA," Collins of Maine told reporters in Washington. "I believe it would cause the insurance markets to go into turmoil." She said she would oppose bringing a repeal bill up for debate.
Capito of West Virginia said she would refuse to take up a repeal plan without an adequate replacement. "I did not come to Washington to hurt people," she said in a statement.
Murkowski of Alaska also said she wouldn't vote to take up a repeal-alone measure.
President Trump fired off a tweet Monday night telling Republican to 'just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now and work on a new healthcare plan that will start from a clean slate.'
Republicans should just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
GOP House members are boiling over in anger after the Senate failed to secure the votes needed to pass the healthcare bill.
Washington Examiner reports:
House Republicans on Tuesday were seething with anger over the Senate GOP's late Monday decision to pull the plug on a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Lawmakers leaving the House GOP's weekly conference meeting said feelings of exasperation and anger have set in, now that the Senate has dropped plans to vote on an Obamacare replacement bill this month.
"There is a lot of frustration, borderline anger I guess, at what really has to be described as some level of incompetence to be able to get together and get something done," Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., who heads the conservative Republican Study Committee, told the Washington Examiner.

Hurricane Coverage
It's All About the Details
By Brian Blanco
Photo by Brian Blanco
Being the first on scene carries with it a certain responsibility, so in the absence of any rescue workers, render whatever aid is reasonable.
Some decisions in life are easy; so when, a few days before Hurricane Katrina, the nice lady at the Enterprise car rental counter asked me, "Mr. Blanco, are you going to be adding the extra insurance today?" I didn't hesitate for a moment. "Um, yes ma'am, I'll take it. As much as I can get thank you."
That nice lady wasn't quite so chipper when, a few weeks later, I returned what was left of her brand new Chevy Yukon complete with some mismatched borrowed tires, a single quarter-panel that was sans body damage, a thick layer of Mississippi mud, seawater and gasoline caking the carpet and a funky aroma that even the Extra Strength Febreze couldn't counter.
I mention this because "Always buy the extra insurance on your rental car" is the absolute second unofficial rule of hurricane coverage… right after the first unofficial rule; the one that states: "Never, ever, take your own car to cover a hurricane."
With June 1st, the first day of hurricane season, quickly approaching I thought I'd jot down some of the things I've picked up over the years as a Florida-based photojournalist covering hurricanes. Maybe these tips will help you; maybe they'll get you into trouble. Who knows? But either way I hereby absolve myself of liability by stating that I'm not an expert, just a guy who has made a lot of mistakes when covering hurricanes… and has learned from *almost* every one.
Note: Because Hurricane Katrina is the biggest, scariest, and most logistically challenging hurricane I've ever covered, I'm writing this article using it as the benchmark. It's clearly better, and safer, to be over prepared so if we prepare for a Katrina then we should be ready for just about anything that's thrown our way… God willing.
Once you get the call that you've been assigned to cover a particular storm, the time to plan is while the thing is still spinning offshore. First, before anything else, get online now and rent a BGAN and have it shipped Next Day Air to you. Ok, now that that's done, then this is when your work begins as you start following that storm's every move. Plot it on a hurricane map, watch the Weather Channel until you cannot stand it anymore and constantly refresh the NOAA website. You're going to want to know, with as much degree of certainty as possible, where this thing is likely going.
Knowing the basic geographic location of probable landfall gives you a better understanding of what resources might be available to you and what types of situations you may encounter. Is this going to hit a populated urban area like Miami where there are lots of resources in adjacent cities? Or is it going to hit a fairly rural area or an especially vulnerable area like Key West? Or is it heading to an area that will present special obstacles like New Orleans?
Knowing where it may hit will allow you to start to think about your game plan but keep in mind that hurricanes are unpredictable and can make last-minute detours, as was the case with the Cat. 4 Hurricane Charley back in 2004. Also, don't allow a low category number like a Cat. 1 or 2 to leave you with a false sense of security. As well as last-minute course changes, hurricanes can also intensify fairly quickly right before landfall.

Covering natural disasters can present many hazardous situations for journalists, such as this reporter while covering Hurricane Katrina.
Your Vehicle
Now that you have an idea of where this thing is heading you can start to plan your coverage and start packing the rental car (make a packing list and stick to it). A big question though, and one you can only answer for yourself is, "What type of car am I going to rent?"
This is one of the areas where researching the probable landfall location is important. No matter where the storm hits, the availability of gasoline is going to be a major problem and when renting a car you'll have to balance the possible need for the ground clearance, power and cargo (and sleeping) space of an SUV against the fuel economy of a smaller car. Gas stations in both rural and urban areas can, and often do, run out of gasoline a couple of days before the storm even hits. Meaning, that whatever gas you're going to have to cover the storm, is going to have to be gas you buy well outside of the affected area and bring in with you.
Gasoline is the lifeblood of your coverage, if you run out then you do nobody any good, so as soon as possible go out and buy and fill several 5 gal gas tanks. Lowes and Home Depot often sell them in sleeves of 4 at a small discount but keep in mind that they sell out quickly.
I clearly cannot tell you how many tanks to buy as that will depend on how long you intend to be covering the story, the distance to the next unaffected town that still has gas (this could be very far), the geography of the affected area and the fuel economy of the vehicle you rent.
Another big factor in deciding how much gas to carry with you (and how you carry it) is how comfortable you are driving around in a virtual rolling Molotov cocktail. Filled gas tanks spew fumes, spill gas and make you a target of thieves and carjackers. Strapping the tanks to the roof (which may be illegal in some states) certainly gets the fumes and spillage out of the car but leaves you with a security issue, as you'll certainly get the unwanted attention of desperate people and moochy, less-prepared, colleagues. Outside of renting a pickup truck (which are hard to find as rentals) there is no easy answer to this dilemma.
TIP: I can tell you that if my gas tanks are visible on the outside of the car, then I always mark them, in big black bold letters, as "Diesel" in an attempt to thwart some attention… I think it has worked a couple of times.
Ok, so now that you have your car, it's time that you view it for what it is: your mobile newsroom, your generator (you'll have bought a power inverter), your security, your pantry, your hotel room, your kitchen, your medical clinic. Essentially your car, and the stuff you pack into it, are the backbone of your logistical response to a logistical nightmare. Without it you're essentially done.
We've discussed the gas, now let's talk tires As a photojournalist you'll be one of the first people into the affected area following the storm, meaning that your tires will be the first to pick up all of the nails, screws, shards of glass, shrapnel, sharp pieces of wood, etc. that litter the streets for the first few days. You WILL get flats and if you're under the impression that you can drive the streets avoiding the debris and not getting flats then you are straight up delusional.
So, how do we combat the inevitable flat tires? Well, immediately after driving out of the rental car lot (days before the storm makes landfall), drive to one of those shady used tire places and buy a couple of complete tires and wheels that will fit the vehicle you've rented and strap them to the roof. These are your tires of last resort, as you'll try to keep the ones on the car functioning for as long as possible. To that end, go to an auto parts store and buy some of those beef jerky looking tire plugs and the tools that go with them and look up some YouTube videos on how to use those things. Also, buy a bunch of cans of Fix-A- Flat and a big industrial car jack and a big lug wrench, as you won't want to be messing with the silly Mickey Mouse jacks that they include with cars these days. After the first few days the tire puncturing will slow down as the streets get cleared and the sharp things have already been run over by your colleagues.
It's getting windy
Ok, so that covers fuel and tires, now lets talk about keeping everything else running. Because your car (and your life) are so important to your coverage, you will want to keep both of them up and running by being WELL OUTSIDE of the storm's path as it makes landfall. I can't tell you how far away to be but seriously, you don't need images during the storm. It'll be so windy and rainy that they'll look terrible and all you're going to do is put yourself, your camera gear and your car in danger and stop your coverage before it even starts.
The images that you're after are the aftermath photos. Those are the images that tell the story, so the minute you feel the storm has passed and you can safely travel, then that's when it's time to make your way into the affected area as safely as possible.
If you leave early enough, then there likely won't be a lot of vehicles traveling the streets as you make your way into the affected area so traffic shouldn't be a problem. The biggest issue you'll face as you make your way from your staging area to the affected area after the storm, is downed power lines.
Because you're likely to be on the road even before the police, fire rescue, military and power company, you're likely going to be among the first cars to encounter downed tress, power lines and other obstacles.
Small trees can be handled fairly quickly with a chainsaw and tow rope (that you should have packed) but STAY AWAY from power lines and standing water. Find another way around and NEVER assume that power lines are dead lines or assume that they're harmless phone lines.
You should have studied the map ahead of time and planned a way into the area that leaves you alternative routes and avoids (as best as you can) traveling over any bridges, which could now be damaged or closed.
Depending on how soon you get on the road after the storm passes, on your way into the affected area you may encounter police or National Guard roadblocks. There's no steadfast rule with these things or how to deal with them. Sometimes you pull up and politely and confidently show them your media ID and they move aside and wish you luck. Other times they shake their heads and command you to turn around and give you a ton of attitude in the process.
It's impossible to understand where, when and why there will be roadblocks and if or how you'll be able to get through them. Having a GPS, a few good maps (and/or a local person) with you to find alternative routes is the best course of action. Arguing with a National Guardsman or an out of town police officer is often a waste of valuable time.
You'll generally know within the first 30 seconds of your encounter with this uniformed person if you're getting through or not. If there's only one way in, then it's clearly worth standing your ground, explaining your case and requesting, professionally, to speak up the chain of command. Otherwise, just find another way in… 99% of the time there's another way in and contrary to what some police and military officials may believe, they cannot shut down an entire city to the media (though I've seen them try).
So now you've made it in to the affected area. You know what to do from here. Go find photos. Meet people. Tell stories. Be a journalist. This is a big story and the world is waiting for the information that you've worked so hard and planned so well to gather.
Here are a few things (and these are in no particular order) to keep in mind while you're working:
• Move photos as quickly as possible upon arrival on the first day, as it may take you hours to find a way (or spot) to transmit if you don't have a BGAN.
• Have a BGAN, and make sure you're 100% confident on how to use it BEFORE it gets windy.
• A lot of hurricane victims will be armed and on edge. They're mostly worried about looters so try to look like a journalist. Keep your credentials around your neck, cameras visible and don't poke around at night.
• You have a DC to AC power inverter (actually two of them if you're smart) in the car so use it every chance you get. Top off cell phones, SAT phones, camera and laptop batteries every time you're in the car driving around. Don't wait until they run down and you find yourself having to run the car JUST to charge batteries.
• Make sure the reporter you're working with (if you're riding with one) is charging his/her phone and laptop while you're driving too… they never think about those things. • Make sure you have bug spray and a big floppy hat… you'll thank me for it.
• For the first 8 to 12 hours you and the other journalists will likely be the only ones handing out water. It usually takes a while for the cavalry to arrive so do what you can without depleting all of your won supplies.
• After the first day or two, make sure that you don't look too clean or well shaven. Disaster victims respect you more if they feel that you're enduring the same hardships that they are. If you look like a TV person with a tie and make up on they roll their eyes as you walk up. If you look like you also slept on the grass last night they'll be more inviting and open. Everybody smells like an armpit after the third day so it's cool.
• If you find a group of affected residents that you feel safe with, then sleep on the grass with them that night as it'll be a nice break from the car and makes for nice images and even nicer trust building.
• Pack three times the amount of socks that you anticipate you are going to need… and a few pairs of shoes.
• Ask the locals where THEY think you should go and what stories THEY think you should be covering… they're usually right.
• Find a geographic area and stick to it that day. Driving around sightseeing eats up too much gas that you cannot afford to lose. This is not a two- day story; so spread your fuel out and conserve where you can.
• -Cliff Bars just don't cut it by the third day. Beef jerky is king.
• If you no longer have enough food or water to share then don't eat in front of people (this one is obvious but I've seen it done). • Don't be afraid to tell relief workers where you've seen pockets of people in need of supplies. Nobody is going to be driving around as much as photojournalists. I once found an elderly couple nearly dead from days of dehydration just a mile (and one turn) away from a military food and water distribution site. • Use hand sanitizer often but realize that it's no substitute for washing your hands. Diseases spread fairly quickly in disaster areas. • Never let the reporter drive the car. For some reason they all suck at driving. • -Share information with your competition. This is no time to be competitive or hold tight to a "scoop". Our goal as journalists is to gather as much accurate information as possible and get it out to as many people as possible.
• If your editor is blowing up your SAT or cell phone every 20 minutes with nonsense then just ignore them. It's easy to say, "Wow, I must not have been getting a signal. Downed towers and all; you understand right?"
• In a Katrina-type storm there will be photographic opportunities surrounding you at every moment and it's easy to get overwhelmed and overworked. Be disciplined enough to take a time-out and relax. Have a beef jerky and a warm bottle of water and just relax in the shade for an hour or two… it'll be hot and emotionally draining.
• After a couple of weeks without food or human contact, abandoned dogs, even formerly docile pets, start to run in packs that can be dangerous so, beware of dogs. • Raid the camera closet and take as many bodies as you can (even older ones). You'll go through a bunch if it's anything like Katrina. And PLEASE tell me that you're taking more than one wide lens.
• Cell signals may work but they will be unreliable at best. If you get a connection say what you need to say quickly or move a lower-rez file quickly… now is not the time to check your Facebook.
• Have as many different cell phones and wireless devices from as many different carriers as possible with you… one of them may work.
• Carpool with other shooters if you can as you'll want to save gas whenever possible.
• Do NOT sleep in a car that has gas tanks in it… come on now, you know better than that.
• Remember that a friendly local is your best resource (particularly in a rural area). Ask them if they'll drive around with you and show you some sites and introduce you to some folks.
• The bottom line, if you couldn't tell from reading everything above, is that logistics are the most important thing to think about (after safety of course). You cannot just pile into the car with a gleam in your eye, some bottled water and your cameras and expect everything to work out. You almost have to pack like a cave diver; where you at least one backup (and sometimes three) for every item that is crucial to success.
• Ask yourself "Where is the weakest link in my gear?" It could be power sources, camera bodies, laptops, Internet connection devices, tires, FUEL, etc… any one of these things can stop your coverage cold so remember to plan, in fact, over plan and you should be able to concentrate on making photos.
Good luck, stay safe, and hope it turns back out to sea.

Lightning Talks: Alfresco Share Evaluators (Predefined and Custom)
Customizing the Alfresco Share user interface may require actions/indicators based on something about the node to be actioned (property, state, type, etc). For example, you may only want to enable an action for a node if of a specific type. This can be achieved by using Evaluators. Alfresco provides a number of out of the box evaluators. Additionally, more robust evaluators can be created by extending the classes used to support the out of the box evaluators. In this Lightning Talk from ECM Architect Mike Wallach, the predefined evaluators will be described and a walk through of how to utilize some of the out of the box evaluators will be given. Additionally, an example of extending the base evaluator to create an evaluator for a custom condition will be presented.
New Video Presentation: Document Assembly
Each month at Zia Consulting we gather to present Lightning Talks–a series of 5-minute presentations on virtually any topic of interest to the group. This month Senior Solutions Engineer Jon Solove presented "Document Assembly" where he discussed how to automatically build documents utilizing boilerplate text, clause libraries, and metadata.
Slideshare Presentation: Breaking Down the Barriers of ECM Adoption
We recently exhibited at IFO's FUSION 2014 Conference. During the event, EVP Pat Myers and SVP Phil Robinson gave a presentation entitled, "Breaking Down the Barriers to ECM Adoption."
While true cost per invoice may vary significantly per organization, including differences in how this cost is calculated, virtually every report has shown this cost can be substantially reduced though invoice automation systems – up to 80% in some studies. So with the potential for such enormous cost savings, why hasn't every company adopted an invoice automation system? In this presentation, we'll examine the very real "why nots" that are barriers to adoption, and how to break them down. These objections include:
- Inbound invoices come from a wide range of sources (paper, fax, email, electronic data interchange or EDI). There's just not a system that fits for us.
- Every invoice is different, and a system can't possibly understand the variety of invoices we receive.
- My business rules are just way too complex for any technology to address — including the validation of invoices against enterprise resource planning (ERP) data.
- We have a unique or custom accounting system, so invoice automation can't work for us.
- I'm concerned this process will be a "black hole," that I won't be able to get visibility into where invoices stand and other analytical information.

Zia's Simple + Secure Back Office: AP Automation
For many organizations, their most critical corporate documents are associated with "back office" corporate functions. From Employee Records to M&A Documents, this content must be shared and stored securely, and content management systems must be integrated with business processes and business applications. To address this need, Zia Consulting has created the Simple + Secure Back Office, providing solutions for multiple departments including accounts payable.
Join Senior Solution Engineer Jon Solove for a quick demonstration of Zia's AP Automation Solution, leveraging Ephesoft's Intelligent Document Capture technology.
Video Demo: Building Dynamic Borrower Sites with Crafter Software
In this mortgage solutions demonstration, Principal Architect Gi Lee from Zia Consulting shows how to build dynamic borrower sites using Crafter Software. The solution was built as a module of the ZiaOne LAS (Loan Automation System), which utilizes Alfresco as a content hub–just as Crafter leverages Alfresco.
The demo starts with the borrower landing/login page that is fully customizable by an author. Gi shows how the page can be viewed on a computer screen, on an iPad, and on a mobile device thanks to Crafter's innovative content preview tool.
Next, Gi logs into the site as a lender and shows how they would create new loans and upload files to the "mFolder"—Zia's unique Mortgage Folder concept. Here he explains how uploading documents through the Crafter site will automatically load them into Alfresco using ZiaOne LAS. To show this process, Gi logs into his Alfresco instance and displays the thumbnail images of the documents he uploaded via Crafter. As documents are uploaded and enter Alfresco, they are automatically classified and metadata is extracted.
At the end of the demo, Gi explains some of the authoring tools available and shows how easy it is to quickly customize numerous elements with Crafter. "The great thing about Crafter is that you are not limited to only a handful of sites," said Gi Lee. "You can have one, or you can have a million… the software will scale appropriately."
PDF Download with Ephesoft using External Application Integration
by EVP and Co-Founder Pat Myers
I have heard several customer requests for Ephesoft to allow users to download or email a PDF from the review and validation screens. These requests have triggered an enhancement request that is planned for version 3.2 which is due out in late spring/early summer of 2014.
I'd like to answer the request to demonstrate how to extend out the functionality of Ephesoft by using the External Application Integration. External applications–custom web applications–can be exposed in the validation screen with some configuration. Ephesoft will create a one-time use token that can be used by the web application to verify that the request is coming from a trusted source. The web application will then be given the location of the batch instance information located in the Ephesoft system folder (the working folder) and the selected document ID.
For this example, a Spring web application was created to:
1. Validate the Ephesoft token
2. Parse the Batch XML file
3. Locate the selected document from the provided document ID
4. Create a PDF from the single page TIF files in the selected document
5. Create and display a URL to the user so they can download the file
The video shows you how it works.

So where exactly is Chloe Sullivan? Giving herself up at the end of the season premiere of Smallville last week, in exchange for Oliver's freedom, Chloe has been taken away to parts unknown. And in the meantime, Allison Mack, who plays Chloe, has also left Smallville as a series regular. But don't worry, she's coming back…
When I spoke to Mack at a party honoring Smallville's soon-to-air 200th episode this past weekend, she assured me, "You'll see me towards the middle of the season, making a nice little appearance. I'll be back and wrapping some things up."
Chloe is the only Smallville character to have appeared in every single season of the series except for Clark Kent himself. When I asked Mack if she was happy she was getting to be a part of the 10th and final season, she replied, "Definitely. It's interesting. I feel like I owe it to the fans. And I owe it to my character. I feel very honored to have played her for the ten years that I've played her, so I want to give her a proper ending."
Last season, Chloe and Oliver (Justin Hartley) began a relationship that has become very popular with fans. When I asked Mack what she thought might be in store for those two down the line, she laughed, having turned to say hello to Hartley's wife, Lindsay, just a moment before. "It's weird that we're talking about this while I'm standing next to Justin's wife!" As for Chloe and Oliver and what's to come, she remarked, "I don't know – I have no idea. I know that we left it sort of unfinished, our relationship, so I'm sure that we'll have some scenes where we're wrapping things up and kind of deciding where we're going and what we're doing, but I don't know what that's going to look like and I don't know where we're going to go with that. I don't know where he's going to be! He's a bit of a playboy, you know, so he might have a whole new fling by the time I make my way back. We never know!"
Hartley though seemed pretty confident that Green Arrow wouldn't be looking for new female companionship anytime soon, telling me at the same event, that when it comes to Oliver's next step, "I think he's going to find Chloe! He's going to do whatever he can to find her. He does it very intensely and he's not one to mince words either. He says, 'This is what I'm going to do, I'm going to find her,' and he's going to figure out every means necessary to get her – and he's got a lot of means!"
While Mack had said she felt that her return in the middle of the season would help wrap up some plotlines, fans no doubt hope she will also be present at the very end of the series next spring. When I asked her if that was a possibility, she replied, "We're still working it out. I don't know yet."
I posed the same question to executive producer Kelly Souders, who told me that when it came to having Chloe in the series finale, her answer was, "Hopefully," adding, "It's really about the scheduling with Allison and the show. Allison has been so wonderful. She has really wanted to come back and make sure that her character was tied up in a wonderful storyline. We love Allison. She's such a great actress and she's just created a character that is now actually in the DC world, which is just phenomenal. That's quite a statement about her. We'd like to see her as much as we can!"
As for what it was like for Mack to see Chloe finally be introduced in the DC Comics Universe, via Action Comics, she told me, "It's incredible! It's bizarre to pick up a comic book and see me! It's very cool. It's sort of surreal. It's hard to kind of wrap your head around. But it's very cool. I'm sure that when I'm 60, I'll look back on it and go, 'Right on!'"
Chloe dying. Chloe continuing on as Watchtower. Chloe leaving for parts unknown. Fans have speculated about many different outcomes for the character as Smallville comes to an end, who is so notable because she has been given such an integral role in Clark Kent's life in this series, despite having not originally been from the comic books. As we were wrapping up our conversation, I asked Mack if she had a specific conclusion to Chloe's story she'd most like to see and she paused and smiled, before saying, "I think you should watch! Because I think I'm going to get what I want, and I would hate to give it away."

We took Gabby to the pumpkin patch on Saturday so she could pick out her very first pumpkin! I asked around for recommendations to awesome ones in our area and got a bunch of really great suggestions, so we packed ourselves up and ignored them all and went to the little one by my parents' house. We decided not to bother with driving an extra 20 minutes/paying admission since we figured she'd probably tire out fast anyway (and we were right!) and we wouldn't fully be able to take advantage of hayrides and all that yet. We had a really nice time, and I managed to capture some cute shots of her with all the pumpkin hoopla...
And I have to admit, I will get a big fat FAIL for this... I'm not going to make G's Halloween costume. I so wanted to make an adorable little bee costume, but time's been ticking by and I realized that a) I don't have much of it, and b) they actually sell cute costumes for babies to wear. So I think Gabby is going to rock a duck this year. :-) Oh and we left the pumpkin patch without buying a pumpkin. Fail #2?

Oh my.. that pouty picture might be my favorite!! She's too cute! If it makes you feel any better Momma, I was all about making my son's Charlie Brown costume... Yeah. Not so much anymore. Big fat fail. I can't find yellow onesies anywhere- but it's not like he's trick or treating at 12 weeks old!!! :)

|Prabhupada Letters :: 1968
a.c. bhaktivedanta swami
14 May 2004
Tuesday, May 14, 1968 Allston, Mass
My Dear Hamsaduta,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated May 13, 1968, and noted the contents.
It is very good news that you are getting one bus for traveling with the Sankirtana party. Our first plan was like that--that we should have a nice Sankirtana party and travel all over the country. But since you said that you could not organize such a party, I requested you to go to open a center in Germany. Now our principle business and aim is to preach this Krishna Consciousness movement, and wherever we get the opportunity, we should take advantage of it.
Now, it is up to you, to settle up--whether you should go to Germany or travel about here in this country. If you have got at least 6 members for your party, then I would advise you to travel in this country with the Sankirtana party. But if you have no members to assist you, then you can try to open a center in Germany, as our good friend Subala is trying, struggling alone in Sante Fe, and still pulling on.
Our only business is to spread Krishna Consciousness to the best of our possibility, and Krishna has given us discrimination and judgment. So, Krishna is within you, you chant and ask Him, Krishna and He will give you proper instruction.
So far from my side, I can say that if you have got a party who can travel with you, then you can travel with them for some time with the Sankirtana party. If you go in the bus with your Sankirtana party, then we must sell our literatures, magazines, books, records, etc. The whole institution is not in very sound financial position, so we should always remember this position and try to sell our articles so that we may again publish our books and literatures.
Back to Godhead is already in difficulty for financial matter. It is giving me some anxiety. Back to Godhead may not be stopped publication--it will be a great setback for our missionary purpose.
At any rate, we should accept that bus.
Hope you are well.
Your ever well-wisher,

My Dear Rayarama,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated May 13, 1968, and I noted thereof that you are a little bit disappointed.
There is no question of disappointment in Krishna Consciousness. We shall try our best--success or no success, we shall depend on Krishna. Now, I do not know what is the position of securing advertisements. If advertisements are also not available, then I think we should go back to our mimeograph machine and put Back to Godhead out regularly.
There is no scarcity of material, so we may distribute the message regularly, never mind it is not so highly printed. So far collections is concerned of the sales proceeds of Back To Godhead, I think you can entrust the matter to Gargamuni and Mukunda, and they will be able to distribute and send you back the money.
Regarding quality of chanting Hare Krishna, we shall try to avoid the 10 kinds of offenses, that is the quality.
You can write to your God-brothers in different centers that if they do not send regularly the money for sales of the magazine, it will not be possible to continue the paper.
Hope you are well.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
P.S. Hayagriva has my article--Krishna the Charioteer. When you are ready for publication of B.G. I shall send you the same.

My Dear Subala,
Please accept my blessings, I am in due reciept of your letter dated May 9, 1968.
It is very nice that Hal Pappa is coming to our temple. Please hand over the enclosed letter which I write to him out of my natural affection for him. I think if he joins with you you will feet more encouraged in the service of the Lord.
I thank you once more for your endeavors in the service of the Lord, and we must bless you and help you in all respects.
Hope you a are well.

Friday, May 10, 1968 Allston, Mass
My Dear Dayananda,
Please accept my blessings. I thank you very much for your check which I beg to acknowledge receipt herewith.
I am so pleased to learn that you are constantly trying to follow my instructions. Of course, I have no particular instructions, save and except the instruction which I have also heard from my Spiritual Master. So all instructions in the disciplic succession directly comes from the Supreme Person.
Therefore to follow the instructions of a Spiritual Master is to follow the instructions of the Supreme Person. And as soon as we are accustomed to this habit, then all our misgivings of material existence are over.
Your ambition for chanting Hare Krishna exclusively is very good. But sacrificing the results of action is as good. A concrete example is Arjuna. He fought very chivalrously under the instructions of the Lord, and the Lord certified him to be the best devotee and friend of the Lord.
So there is no distinction between chanting and offering the results of one's activity. Sometimes under the garb of chanting people take to the habit of laziness, which is not required at all. Execution of devotional service is prescribed first with enthusiasm and patience.
One can execute this transcendental activities staying as he is, but he must follow and try to apply in practical life the instructions as they are given in the Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam, received through the proper channel.
I thank you once more for your progress, in the matter of Krishna Consciousness, and I shall always pray to Krishna for your steady progress more and more, along with your nice wife.
Hope you are all three well.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami letters | 05:56 |

Room conversation
Prabhupada: I have to thank Jadurani for nice pictures. She is giving us light about spiritual understanding. So Krsna will bless her with greater energy for Krsna consciousness. Thank you.
So this picture, Radha-Krsna, with His associates just joined into the picture... Radha-krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini saktir asmad
ekatmanav api bhuvi pura deha-bhedam gatau tau.
It is a very great science. The Absolute is one, but in order to enjoy transcendental bliss...

Once at the ecuadorian coast there was a month without any waves. But instead of being all depressed about it I started to explore the hidden streets of Montañita and I got all excited about it.
"Down by the river I found them."
The Art Guys, two gipsy like men well into their thirties carving "Tiki's" all day. They showed me how it's done and I started build and carve myself.
That was the beginning of "JonArt"
by the way, those 2 above aren't them but they did kinda look similar!

Influence of Music
- In the Harlem Renaissance, many black people had bands and branched out in the musical part of life
- Music become more than just white people playing tunes, it was now black people also with jazz and fun
- One of the originators of a big band jazz was Duke Ellington, who was a turned pianist, composer, and band leader- he got his start at Barron's Cabaret, a Harlem joint where Jazz flourished
- Others, like Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton were also an influence and very talented
Literature of the 20's
- Just like African-American bands, there were also many black people coming out as writers and changing the way of literature
- The most talented Harlem writer and poet of the decade was Langston Hughes
- He was working as a busboy at a Washington hotel when he was discovered by Vachel Lindsay, a popular poet
- He became articulate and passionate spokesman for American Americans in the 1920's and beyond- he also wrote novels, short stories, experimental theater pieces and an autobiography
The Weary Blues
This was an example of Langston's poetry, a couple of the lines in it are:
Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.
Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light
He did a lazy sway. . . .
He did a lazy sway. . . .
Nightclubs and Fun
- Harlem nightclubs came around this time like everything else, people began dancing more scandelous and outrageouslyand black and whites hung out together
- Harlem became popular and lively
- African-American entertainers wowed audiences of all races and whites went to clubs like Connie's Inn and the Cotton Club
- Most patrons were white and most entertainers were black
- It was the black jazz players, musicians who traced their heritage tot he crazy-quilt racial and ethic stew of New Orleans, who made a lasting mark on American music
Art and its blossoming
- Black people started blossoming everywhere like both music and writing, but also art and painting started coming up and being discovered
- Artists made significant contribution that focused on the culture and history of black Americans
- Laura Wheeler (Picture 2) painted scenes from the lives of the small number of upper-class African-Americans
- Aaron Douglas (Picture 1) became known for his illustrations and black-and-white drawings
- His goal was to interpret what he understood to be the spiritual identity and African roots of blacks in the U.S through art

Convenient - Dan - 3/6/2014
I found these to be a convenient method for me to record my summer activities. I've had a pair for over about two years now and I can't wait to use them again if this weather ever clears up! I use them for fishing, kayaking, and stuff like that! The video quality is great. I did have a bit of a learning curve on how to use them at first though (I don't read instructions).. Anyway, they've been a decent investment for me!

The River Ancholme could be totally managed at the local level, according to members of the Ancholme River Trust.
Trust member and Brigg town councillor Mike Storey told the January meeting of the Ancholme River Users' Group that major changes were taking place as the Environment Agency was set to concentrate on flood prevention and management.
This means issues such as bank grass cutting, removal of silt, river levels and weed control could all be managed at the local level by a combination of voluntary and statutory groups, including local councils.
"We met with the agency and the message is that they now want more devolution," said Coun Storey.
"The Government has starved them of funds, and management of the river amenities and grass cutting can be done locally and, we hope, better.
"The amenities will be cut early, probably in April, and other areas as required."
He announced North Lincolnshire Council has been willing to spend £100,000 to get a weed cutter for the river and volunteers will be able to use it.
The River Trust will take out older moorings, such as those opposite the Ancholme Leisure Centre, and will be responsible for fishing platforms.
"We have to be mindful, though, of the limitations of nature and the environment in what we can do, but the only way the river can improve is by taking its management away from the Environment Agency. Their focus is now on flood management," said Coun Rob Waltham, who chairs both the Ancholme River Users' Group and the Ancholme River Trust.
"This is what local responsibility is all about and we are in fact changing the system of the way the river is being managed."
Mr Storey added anyone who knows the river realises a faster flow is needed.
"The old river through Brigg Town Centre has no flow," he said.
Godfrey Thacker, who runs the Brandy Wharf Marina, gave his support.
"I have been messing about with the Environment Agency since 1996 and I feel that the only way we will get things done in the future is to do them ourselves," he said.
