Celebrations all around!
So, my project comes to an end. 52 weeks, a year in pictures. Are they representative of my life? Well, yes and no. So much takes place that never makes it onto film (or rather, pixels). Quite a few weeks I was lazy and rarely picked up my camera. Sometimes I had so many pictures it was a pain to only choose one. I have found myself just sitting and looking at the set of pictures, at least the parts of the project where I was dilligent in my photography and had lots of good ones. Although I've spent a couple of Sunday evenings scrambling to get a shot off in time, I'm really glad I did this! It's been a kick in the behind to get the camera out more often. ;)
And I guess the big question now is: do I do this for another year? Perhaps I should change the project parameters? Not blog them all, put them on a separate blog, choose a new topic, post several pictures if I have them and none when there are no good ones? I have many thoughts and few conclusions yet. We'll see. I think it's highly likely that I'll continue with another Project 52, but I'll probably mix up the details a bit from this year's project.

Christopher Nolan to Present Richard Linklater With Award at Sound Mixers Ceremony
Christopher Nolan will present the Cinema Audio Society Filmmaker Award to the Oscar-nominated director of Boyhood, Richard Linklater, at the 51st annual CAS Awards for outstanding achievement in sound mixing, Saturday at the Millennium-Biltmore Hotel.
Also participating in the presentation to Linklater will be production sound mixer John Pritchett and Tricia Linklater, the director's sister, as well as director of sound operations at Technicolor on the Paramount Lot.
Nolan's own sound team for Interstellar is nominated for the CAS Award for sound mixing in a live action theatrical feature. Interstellar is nominated in that category alongside American Sniper, Birdman, Guardians of the Galaxy and Unbroken.
A fierce believer that "sound is as important as picture," Nolan talked with THR about Interstellar's much-discussed mix last fall.
"We are thrilled to have Christopher Nolan as part of the CAS Awards," said CAS president David Fluhr. "The CAS has nominated Chris Nolan films three times for outstanding sound mixing: The Dark Night, Inception and his current film Interstellar, which has also been nominated for five Academy Awards."
Oscar nominee Rory Kennedy (Last Days in Vietnam) will join Mike Minkler to present the award in the live action feature category.
Presenting the CAS Career Achievement Award to David Macmillan are past Career Achievement honoree Scott Millan and sound mixers Steve Bowerman and David Krischner.
Also scheduled to hand out awards during the evening are actors Maddalena Ischiale, Henry G. Sanders and Carolyn Hennesy; singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk; and CAS sound mixers Bob Bronow, Peter Devlin, Thomas Curley, Tomlinson Holman, Sherry Klein, Edward L. Moskowitz, Walter Murch, Gary Rizzo and Jeff Wexler.

EDISON, NJ -- Middlesex Water Company said it broke ground yesterday on an underground, large-diameter water transmission main running from Edison to Metuchen.
The 42-inch diameter main will "provide critical backup water supply and ensure resiliency" said the company in a statement. The $52 million project, called the Western Transmission Main, will supplement Middlesex Water Co.'s existing transmission main. That line serves about 300,000 people in eastern Middlesex County, said Middlesex Water. It said the new mail will also help alleviate risks from with aging equipment.
"We're commencing construction of this supplementary transmission main along the western portion of our New Jersey service territory to harden our infrastructure and ensure an adequate back-up water supply to meet daily basic needs," said Middlesex Water CEO and President Dennis Doll. "The Western Transmission Main is one of several projects under our $300 million investment initiative known as Water For Tomorrow designed to strengthen water distribution infrastructure and ensure greater reliability, safety and service quality for current and future generations of water users."
4.5 miles of ductile iron pipe will be installed from Jersey Avenue in Metuchen to Cedar Lane in Edison, according to the company, which held a groundbreaking ceremony at its Carl J. Olsen Water Treatment Plant in Edison to announce the project.
The event was attended by a number of officials and business people.
"I commend Middlesex Water for its commitment and hard work towards the BPU's shared goals of resiliency and sustainability for our natural resources and the commitment to a better tomorrow," said state Board of Public Utilities President Joseph Fiordaliso at the groundbreaking, according to Middlesex Water.
Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald Rios said the company's investments "lead to increased economic growth and productivity for our county and its businesses, increased land values and most importantly improved public and environmental health."
The Western Transmission Main project will affect the following streets for a portion of time as pipeline installation progresses.
In Edison:
• Cedar Lane
• Kilmer Road
• Brunswick Avenue
• Talmadge Road
• National Road
• New Durham Road
• Durham Avenue
In Metuchen:
• Durham Avenue
• Jersey Avenue
The company said it is working with two contractors, J. Fletcher Creamer, for work in Metuchen and parts of Edison north of Route 287, and PACT One, LLC for work in Edison south of Route 287.
It said residents who will be significantly affected will receive individual notifications with more details.
"Information related to construction status, road closures, traffic detours and more will be available on the project website at www.WaterForTomorrowMWC.com," said the company Residents with questions or comments may submit them on the project website or call 800-549-3802.
The company and its engineers and contractors "have been meeting with officials along the project route to discuss construction timelines, resident information, road closures, potential detours and ways to minimize inconvenience to residents during this project," it said. "The entire installation, including complete restoration of areas disturbed by construction is expected to be completed by 2020."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- BP (NYSE:BP) has asked a federal judge to block a court-appointed administrator from paying Gulf Coast businesses' claims through a multibillion-dollar settlement over the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
In a court filing Friday in New Orleans, the London-based oil giant argues that program administrator Patrick Juneau's method of processing and paying businesses' claims violates the settlement's terms.
Last week, BP warned investors that the settlement's price tag will be "significantly higher" than it initially estimated because businesses' claims have been paid at much higher average amounts than the company anticipated.
BP also said it can't reliably estimate how much it will pay for unresolved business claims following a recent ruling by U.S District Judge Carl Barbier, who rejected BP's interpretation of certain settlement provisions.

While there are still games out there that are fun to play by yourself, especially when it comes to video games where the developers focus more on the story rather than multiplayer aspects, more most the main draw is being able to jump online and play with your friends (or complete strangers). This is definitely true when it comes to console games. But when I look at gaming on a mobile platform, like that of the iPhone or Android-based handsets, I just don't see the same desire to want to play with friends. And it has me wondering if multiplayer mobile gaming will ever really take off.
I think, truthfully, there are a few aspects that may be diminishing the idea, if not the execution of multiplayer gaming on a mobile platform. First and foremost, there are a lot of games out there that don't support playing with your friends over WiFi. You have to be connected via Bluetooth, and that means you have to be near your friend. That's not always possible, so right there the multiplayer option really isn't an option.
And then there are options like Open Feint and Apple's Game Center. These are meant to give you a friend's list, as well as "achievements" that you can win for doing certain things while in a game. This will also give you a leaderboard. And while leaderboards are great, it's not really a multiplayer game if you're just trying to beat your friend's high score. These two services do great for making gaming more social, but not really adding to the multiplayer aspect.
For me personally, while playing a multiplayer game on an iPhone or Android-powered device may be cool for a little bit, I don't think I'd do it all that often. Or even want to. I love playing with my friends on services like Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network, but that's also because I like talking to them while we're playing our favorite games. For the mobile platform, it's a pretty limited endeavor, and that may be why playing a game, even when it's something as popular as Angry Birds or Infinity Blade, may just be a single-player only adventure.
We know that Windows Phone 7 is trying to make multiplayer gaming a reality, especially with the ability to play from your phone against people on a PC. And then there's Sony Ericsson and their PlayStation Phone, the Xperia Play. With PlayStation games available to play, finding a multiplayer title shouldn't be that hard, should it?
Despite the fact there are some multiplayer games out there, do you think that multiplayer gaming on a mobile platform will ever really pick up in adoption? Is playing with your friends something you'd like to do on your phone? Or are mobile games meant to just pass the time here and there, until your next meeting, class, or other important date? Let me know in the comments below.

MTN supports Rwandan development fund
MTN Rwanda has donated Rwf 20million towards Rwanda's new Agaciro Development Fund, which aims to support development.
The Agaciro Development Fund was officially launched this week, with a boost from individuals, private companies and organizations, who donated a total of Rwf1.2 billion in cash and pledges.
The Fund is described as a solidarity fund initiated by Rwandans themselves to supplement financing received by donors.
Rwanda's Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, John Rwangombwa, noted that the establishment of the fund was first mooted in last year's Umushyikirano meeting where it was agreed that a mutual fund be put in place specifically to finance rural development as a way of fast tracking Vision 2020.

McLaren to provide training for ME dealers
Manama, May 25, 2011
McLaren Automotive will conduct a special training programme for its Middle East dealers in the UK this July, on the eve of the launch of its highly-anticipated debut model, the MP4-12C.
The company has also confirmed that plans for the opening of its seven showrooms across the region remain on track, and has announced that it will be introducing customer care procedures that provide 24/7 customer support and a full set of replacement parts at each dealership when the new car goes on sale later this year.
Some 27 workshop technicians, service managers and body technicians from Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE will undergo an intensive six day training workshop at the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC) in Woking, UK, this July. The training will ensure that the dealers are fully prepared to manage McLaren Automotive's aftersales procedures.
Trainees will receive practical one-to-one hands-on training including diagnostic tool operation, carbon repair techniques and customer interaction skills, before taking part in a special session where they will be able to drive the MP4-12C themselves and develop an understanding of the 12C's dynamic potential. The workshop will end with a written exam, which trainees will have to pass in order to receive a certificate confirming they are capable of meeting the exacting standards required to work on the 12C, in line with McLaren Automotive's standards, ethics and values.
"Before the MP4-12C goes on sale, we need to ensure that everything customers and owners experience while visiting a McLaren Automotive showroom or workshop is of the highest quality. Setting up these facilities is just one step; the key is to properly prepare the dealers and their technicians to look after the cars," stated Duncan Hill, McLaren Automotive's regional aftersales manager for the Middle East and Africa.
McLaren Automotive has also confirmed that customers will be assigned a Personal Liaison Manager (PLM) in the Middle East region.-TradeArabia News Service

The plan to deliver a new motion drew a sharp rebuke from NDP opposition leader Tom Mulcair, who declared his party would oppose it and that the country had no business fighting in Iraq, or elsewhere.
On at least two occasions recently, Defence Minister Jason Kenney has mused that CF-18s could be asked to fly strike missions against extremist targets in Syria.
Harper is not ruling out that possibility.
Last fall, Parliament approved Canada's participation in U.S.-led coalition air strikes against the forces of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), but limited the involvement to Iraq and set a six-month lifespan.
The mandate runs out on April 7.
"Next week, it is the government's plan to move forward with a request for Parliament for extension and expansion of the mission," Harper said Wednesday in Mississauga, Ont.
Mulcair said the United Nations has not authorized military action.
"I can guarantee you we'll once again be opposed to any involvement of Canadian troops in what is simply not our war," the NDP leader said during a stop in Burnaby, B.C.
Sources have previously told The Canadian Press that an extension would likely involve a commitment of more than six months, in part so it doesn't expire during the fall election campaign.
Last fall, the motion passed by MPs explicitly ruled out deploying ground troops for combat operations, although 69 special forces soldiers were assigned to train and advise Kurdish troops.
It's not clear how the special forces mission will be affected by next week's request.
The original Commons motion left commanders with a free hand when it came to the air campaign. But Harper, in his speech on the issue set limits by saying that strikes on targets in Syria would require an explicit invitation from the Syrian government.
"The current authorization laid open the possibility of going to Syria although we have not done that," Harper said Wednesday.
"But we'll address issues like that next week when I make a proposal to the House of Commons."
Only the U.S. and its Persian Gulf allies have flown strikes into Syria, where the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad has been fighting both Islamic State extremists and a collection of rebel factions in a four-year-old civil war that has left over 200,000 dead.
The Americans notify Syria about air strikes, but they insist they don't co-ordinate activity. A defence source said Canada could follow a similar line, should extended missions be offered.
President Barack Obama has a war resolution before Congress, which would expand American efforts against ISIL and authorize limited, but not "enduring" ground operations.
Dave Perry, an senior analyst with Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute, said he doesn't expect the Canadian authorization to entirely mirror what's proposed in Washington, but it will be aimed at giving the government and military maximum flexibility.
New Democrat defence critic Jack Harris said it would be breathtaking if the Conservatives proposed removing geographic restrictions
"This is an invitation to a far greater conflict than anything Canadians have contemplated," he said. "They claim ISIL has declared war on Canada. That's preposterous as a notion. The implications of that for Canada and for the world would be quite astonishing."
The air force has six CF-18 jets bombing Islamic State targets along with two surveillance planes and an aerial tanker operating out of bases in Kuwait.
The Harper cabinet doesn't need Parliament to authorize a renewed commitment at any time, but the Conservatives have sought all-party support in the House of Commons for such missions, even if they have rarely received it.

Few of us knew what we were promising when we made our vows at the altar. (Some of us still aren't sure!) The vows seem to add a touch of romance and validity to the ceremony, but what do they look like lived out in day-to-day marriage?
Whether you're just starting out in your journey or years down the road, you are daily called to be true to your word. Using their unique style of dynamic delivery, Jeff and Debby share the tools that help a marriage ride out of the altar and into the sunset.
For session descriptions and conference schedule, see below.
If you are a couple interested in attending a Marriage Tune Up conference, check out the Event Schedule.
If you are a church, business or organization leader considering hosting a Marriage Tune Up, email or call us at (865) 769-2611 for pricing and planning details.
Just like a new car, marriage and spouses look good in the "showroom" of the wedding. Then we drive it off the lot and the potholes in the roads of life quickly reveal our imperfections and shortcomings. When that happens with a car, we just trade it in. Too many couples do that with their marriage as well. How do you keep that from happening to your marriage? It's more than just saying those words of acceptance in the atmosphere of perfection during the wedding. It's a matter of saying them on a daily basis, in spite of the imperfections of reality. In this light-hearted session, Jeff and Debby will discuss how to let go of the things that don't matter so you can continue to hold on to the things that do.
A great marriage starts with acceptance (I take you) and develops into intimacy (to love and to cherish). But what is intimacy? Men will describe it one way, women another. This frank session will take you through the ingredients of true intimacy and provide practical tips for keeping your passion finely tuned.
Sooner or later the process of two people becoming one will involve conflict. Many people panic at these times and fear the honeymoon may be over. Not necessarily. The number one predictor of a couple's chance of success isn't whether or not they have conflict, but how they manage it when they do. In this session, Jeff and Debby reach into the toolbox of Scripture to provide a tangible plan for tuning up this critical area of normal married life.
The majority of couples who head for divorce cite problems with their financial situation as the major culprit. The fact is, finances aren't usually the problem. They're just one of the more annoying squeaks and squeals that signify a more significant, underlying problem. This practical session will help you:
- Understand the root causes of your financial struggle
- Learn how to deal with your finances as a team
- Know how to poise yourself to live in financial stability
Is it realistic to think that marriages can have a lifetime warranty? What are some of the secrets of couples whose marriages have made it for the long haul? What can couples do to reduce their chances of divorce? Why does it even matter? Jeff and Debby provide answers to these important questions as the entire conference crescendos into this dynamic, challenging, and inspiring closing session.

Here are a few shots from his appearance on July 1st.
And Val recorded this from her TV...it was when they asked José about his "Welcome to the NHL" moment.
Louis: What was your welcome to the NHL moment?
José: I remember it very well, and Renaud too remembers it. It was an emergency call up. I was 19 playing for the Hull Olympiques and Rejean Houle came to get me on a private jet so we could get to Hartford. I missed the warm up, I just had time to get myself dressed. In Hartford the number 2 goalie sits in the corner so it was 3-1 for us, I was relaxed looking around at the crowd appreciating the moment (I think a better non-direct translation is taking it all in.) Then all of a sudden 3 or 5 goals go in really fast, and I remember Mario Tremblay made a sign, andI had forgotten my glove and blocker in the locker room. So now Mario wants me to get on the ice, and you see me running for the locker room. It looked like I was scared and that I didn't want get on the ice. And then I was scored on on the second shot. So that was really my baptism into the NHL. Wasn't the best way to enter the NHL.

The channel is no stranger to the overhyped 'next big thing' and marketing departments delight in coming up with pithy catch-all labels for revolutionary technology. Now we have the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the more expansive Internet of Everything (IoE) as the world's largest networking vendor, Cisco has dubbed it.
Cisco claims IoE will generate more than $US19 trillion in profit in the next 10 years. That's trillions. It also expects over 50 billion 'things' to be connected by 2020.
Learn how smart CIOs are protecting customers from security breaches
What's the difference between IoT and IoE? According to a Cisco blog: "As the evolution of the Internet suggests, IoE [four pillars: people, process, data, and things] builds on top of IoT [one pillar: things]. In addition, IoE further advances the power of the Internet to improve business and industry outcomes, and ultimately make people's lives better by adding to the progress of IoT."
However, people often focus on components involved in IoT or IoE. But according to IDC research, the big slice of the pie -- up to 70 per cent - is in the software and applications that take data from the device, analyses that data and prompts action.
The opportunities for sensors and M2M solutions are many and Australian firms have already made inroads in healthcare, retail, utilities, transportation and, of course, home and consumer. Connected cars, homes, hospitals, supermarkets and farms are already a reality.
Significant opportunity
Cisco chief technology officer A/NZ Kevin Bloch said IoE was a $19 trillion opportunity for the channel. "This is significant for the channel--to enable their customers to understand IoE, the value at stake for their (customer's) business and how to derive this value.
"Although networking andconnectivityis an integral part, IoE is not a product and the channel has the opportunity to uniquely define its valueproposition in terms of services and solutions that will be relevant to theircustomers.
"It will be the channel partners who work the most collaboratively with their customers and vendors who will be the ones that win the biggest slice of the $19 trillion opportunity."
Bloch said 2013 saw a healthy up take of IoE in the road and traffic sector and expected it to continue in 2014. "In fact, Cisco invested inCohda Wireless,an Australian company which is a world leader in vehicle-to-vehicle [V2V] technology," he said. "The US Department of Transportation recently officially approved the use of vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies on public roads in America which is an important decision in relation to Internet of Everything.
"Another Australian company, Linfox, is pioneering IoE technologies in the logistics industry in Australia. Linfox is using M2M in many different ways to improve the efficiency of its fleet."
Data#3 managing director, John Grant, warned of the pitfalls of getting caught in the "trough of disillusionment" in the Gartner hype cycle (a graphical representation of the life cycle stages a technology goes through from conception to maturity and widespread adoption).
"The industry keeps giving big labels to things and you have to be careful not fall for all the market hype," he said. "There will be huge amounts of data and it's really about organisations being in a position to make better decisions."
He said it was another disruptive force which would create a more proactive business model. "But I am very mindful of the Gartner hype cycle," he said. "Your question as a channel partner is when do you stop talking about it and investing in it."
Fujitsu chief technology officer, Joseph Reger, said 2014 would be the year of the IoT. "Growth is driven by advances of technology in the area of sensors and communications, but also in the availability of Big Data analytics methods and Cloud computing capabilities," he said.
"IoT ties the disciplines of Cloud, Big Data, social services and mobility very nicely together, it can thus play the role of the aggregator for existing technologies and business models. Aggregation almost always accelerates development."
He said it would be a substantially growing opportunity for the channel, but warned of privacy and security concerns.
Flexera Software VP Asia-Pacific, Tom Canning, said IoT would herald a new revenue stream for the channel. "For the Internet of Things to become a reality, a whole range of ongoing infrastructure renewals and deployments are required," he said.
"This is where the channel can benefit the most from demand from IoT environments: their expertise, which spans both hardware and software, is well-suited to managing projects that will typically involve integrating networks of sensors with the software needed to collect, share, and analyse the resulting quantities of new data."
Pilot projects
According to Canning, IBM and Google were already leading pilot projects and would soon need channel suppliers on the ground. Channel players should start seeking out opportunities to partner with these larger players where possible, as well as up-skill into new areas such as sensor deployment and integration," he said.
"So too, increasingly, will the healthcare sector, where software management and integration will prove essential for sensor data to be transformed into meaningful patient profiles and recommendations. "It's in this software and analytics space -- potentially even providing software management through an "as-a-service" model -- that channel providers can develop sizable and sustainable sources of new revenue.
Channel Dynamics director, Cam Wayland, said IoT's rise was the result of the maturation of a whole new set of technologies, but that it was still in its infancy.
"I think it still relatively immature," he said. "It's probably more 2015, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't pay attention to it."
He said the successful implementations would result in the channel's ability to show a return on investment for the customer.
"A lot will actually happen in 2014, but 2015 and beyond is where we will see the exponential growth," he said. "The numbers are mindboggling."
Gartner analyst, Kristian Steenstrup, said privacy concerns could create tremendous amounts of resistance, while the gap between engineering and IT could also slow down the proliferation of IoT.
"How much privacy are you will to give up to allow your vendor to help you shop better?" he said. "The other big question is how to get IT to work with engineering to exploit these opportunities." Frost and Sullivan analyst Audrey William predicted the emergence of a huge ecosystem of partners to deploy IoT.
"Cisco, Apple, Google, IBM, Bosch, GE, Intel, Qualcomm are someofthe companies expected to get more aggressive this year with wearable devices, smart home devices, sensors, wireless systems, sensors, monitoring devices," she said.
"However it is important to understand that IoT does not just apply to one single player. There will be a huge ecosystemofpartners involved in the deploymentofan IoT project. Due to the complexity ofthe IoT, we can expect lotsofpartnerships and alliances with device manufactures, RFID companies, sensor related companies, wireless and M2M providers and telcos. Large global manufacturers such as LG, Samsung are also getting into this space."

Let E be a topological vector space of scalar sequences, with topology ; satisfies the closed neighborhood condition iff there is a basis of neighborhoods at the origin, for , consisting of sets whlch are closed with respect to the topology of coordinate-wise convergence on E; satisfies the filter condition iff every filter, Cauchy with respect to , convergent with respect to , converges with respect to .
Examples are given of solid (definition below) normed spaces of sequences which (a) fail to satisfy the filter condition, or (b) satisfy the filter condition, but not the closed neighborhood condition. (Robertson and others have given examples fulfilling (a), and examples fulfilling (b), but these examples were not solid, normed sequence spaces.) However, it is shown that among separated, separable solid pairs , the filter and closed neighborhood conditions are equivalent, and equivalent to the usual coordinate sequences constituting an unconditional Schauder basis for . Consequently, the usual coordinate sequences do constitute an unconditional Schauder basis in every complete, separable, separated, solid pair .

'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' Red Band Trailer Goes Gory
If you've been waiting for a better look at 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,' the wait is over. This latest red band trailer has all the blood and violence one might associate with one of the nation's greatest presidents.
The trailer comes courtesy of IGN and provides a little back story on how Abraham Lincoln became a vampire hunter, while also implying some rules. You can't have vampire mythology without setting up some rules -- primarily, in this trailer, that they can only be killed by humans. And they don't like fire.
'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,' directed by Timur Bekmambetov and produced by Tim Burton, is a revisionist history tale starring Benjamin Walker as the titular president who trains under Dominic Cooper to kill some vampires, led by Rufus Sewell, hell-bent on destroying this great country of ours.
The trailer gives off a 'Blade' meets 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' vibe, but we're hoping for more of the former, and much less of the latter. Some of the action looks pretty solid, but the effects -- clearly geared for the 3D experience -- aren't anything special.
'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' hits theaters on June 22. Grab your ax.

LOS ANGELES — Having had their team play in the venue last season, the Bellarmine-Jefferson High boys' basketball coaches thought they had their players ready to deal with the deep sightlines and the NBA dimensions and expansive three-point line of Staples Center.
But with a group of transfers this season, many of the Guards didn't play in the Staples Center game a year ago and were unfamiliar with the facilities of the cavernous arena.
As a result, Bell-Jeff had a dismal shooting performance Wednesday against San Gabriel Academy and former Providence standout Marcus LoVett Jr. In the end, it wasn't even close, as the Eagles cruised to a 66-33 nonleague victory.
"I really think that the length of the court and the long three-point line definitely gave us some problems," said Bell-Jeff Coach Julian Andrade, whose team beat San Gabriel at Staples Center last season, 64-51. "It played with their minds and it was tough for them to deal with it. You could see we had problems with our shooting."

In your bag No: 1428, Derek McClure
Derek shares with us a very fancy bag today. Cool cameras and some very well considered accessories. This one has everything a street shooter might need. Check it out.
My name is Derek McClure and I'm a part time Art teacher and freelance photographer in Adelaide South Australia. I've been interested in film photography for a number of years experimenting with large and medium format. I love my RB67 and 5×4" MPP but find the bulk and set up so time consuming. 35mm never really captivated me earlier on as it still felt too similar to my digital cameras which I use for Weddings, Commercial and Corporate work, well, not until I was allured with the mystique of the Leica system.
At first I was convinced that the bloated price and general online hype was just a marketing scam, and that the Leica's wouldn't offer anything different to my film experience, until I tried one. Once I picked up an M7 in the store I was sold immediately, and so was the M7, tucked away in my bag. Since then I have added to my humble collection an M3 and a cool little Barnack Leica iiib.
Perhaps the coolest thing for me shooting with the Leica's is just how involved I am in the overall photography process again. I studied Jazz at Uni a number of years ago and for me, analogue photography combines the improvisation and craft of playing music with the creative eye of composition and expression of my Art degree. Every time I walk the streets with my cameras I feel as though I'm composing a new tune with images. I know, it sounds a bit nerd.. I find that being a tourist in my own town helps me to relax and inspires me to see new things in the familiar, added to that the Leica's are perfect for me to do Street Photography, which is a departure from the photography I get hired to do.
Anyway, so what's in the bag..
Leica M7 (loaded with Kodak Tri-X)
-Hard Graft Hang Camera Strap/Coal
Leica M3 (loaded with Kodak Portra or some B&W ISO 100)
-Cecilia charcoal baby alpaca wool/leather strap
Ona Bowery bag
Leica Summicron 50mm
Leica Summarit 50mm (not pictured, I sometimes carry it if I know I'm going to shoot portraits)
Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f1.7
Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar 15mm f4.5
Voigtlander 15mm viewfinder
-kept in Artisan Obscura box
Both cameras fitted with an ebony Artisan Obscura soft release
Camera Hunter 35mm film box
-5x Kodak 400 Tri-X
Field Notes
Copic 0.1 pen (Though it can often be any 0.1 pen)
Trackr and spare change in the Leica leather filter pouch (It came with the M3)
Spare batteries for the M7
Lens Pen
Lumu light meter for when Im shooting with the M3
Moo business cards for my Instagram account
Moo business cards for my commercial photography, not pictured
B+W ND 0.9 filter for the Voigtlander Ultron
B+W Orange filter for the Voigtlander Ultron

Lovely bag Derek, in fact almost my perfect setup :)
Your comparison of street photography with performing and improvising music rings very true.
INice to see people who still have the patience to see the real image. From one who saw many. George Coppers ,past owner,American Color Laboratory 1971/2010
How true is the similarity of playing Jazz as an experience to the direct vision of shooting with Leica M finder… You see "everything", the reality with two eyes, with just framed outlines of what is your subject. You react immediately to the visual impulses in your brain and in seconds notice it is recorded for ever. Your mind is not occupied with technicalities, all is instaneous, every control preset, ready to capture the instant, when everytking "cicks" in your brain.
My set now is about the same as Derek`s: Leica M6 with Abrahamsson rapidwinder, Leica M3 DS with leica grip, Voigt 35mm 1,4- Voigt 21mm:4- Canon 50mm 1,2 LTM. I have additional finders for 21mm- 35mm and 50mm that is 1:1 so it is possible to shoot both eyes open Then use exclusively the Leica Reloadable IXMOO casettes that I have had from 1964, when I got my first leica M. They are working still perfectly. I just wish Leica would introduce a new model again that uses these metal cassettes !

More people than ever are looking to supplement their income. There are so many network marketing (MLM companies) out there, but how do you decide which one to join?
Over the next few weeks, I will be writing in depth reviews about various business opportunities out there, including the good and the bad. But for now, I want to address this one question that I get from people often. "Is it possible to generate income from these MLM business opportunities?" My short answer, yes it is very possible. So here are my quick thoughts about MLM businesses…
MLM is a legitimate business model despite what some people think. There are people who associate negative connotation when they hear the words "MLM" or "Multilevel Marketing". The initial assumption is they are pyramid schemes. This is not true. Here is the fine line and the primary difference… The first thing people ask you to do in a pyramid scheme is to pay a certain amount of money in order for you to start making money. In most cases, pyramid schemes do not have products or services associated with it. This is not the case in MLM, because you only earn when you sell a product or provide a type of service.
There are various products or services offered in MLM companies. The products are usually ready to go to be shipped to your downlines or customers. In the digital network marketing companies however, you are looking at digital information products. These companies sell downloadable programs or information product. The biggest benefit to running an MLM business is that you have the company's blueprint and marketing plan and you can earn commissions on a single effort.
The problem is most people are blinded with the 'possible' benefits of MLM and how much money they can possibly make. The keyword here is "possibly". The biggest mistake I see many people do is they start marketing to their close friends and family. While this can work, often times you will end up with some friction and may even be alienated by people who are more of acquaintances than friends or family.
It is important to know and be aware that there are downfalls associated with any business, this includes MLM businesses. The basic of all business is "selling" and you need to be prepared and be okay to do prospecting and talk to people. You need to be prepared that most people you sell to will say "No, thanks" to what you are selling. Working on a business is different than working for someone else, you need a GREAT deal of motivation and discipline to get your work done.
There are tons of MLM and business opportunities available. But before you venture or start a business, be sure to do extensive research of anything that you are interested in. Get all the relevant information, weigh in the good, the bad and most importantly, be ready to shape your mindset for success. You are required, to have a warrior mentality to be successful in the MLM industry.

Although it's near to home, I first visited Lea Gardens, near Matlock, Derbyshire, just few weeks ago at the beginning of April. I'd decided before visiting to indulge in a season ticket, to be able to return and see the gardens as they changed throughout the next few months - and I'm so glad I did.
Last weekend we went back for a second visit, and I was amazed at how much difference those few weeks had made.
The gardens specialise in rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias, with plants filling almost every inch of space.
The winding maze-like paths lead down the hillside and seemingly round every corner is a new riot of colour waiting to be seen, with flowers ranging in colour from white through pale pinks and lilacs to dark reds and bright yellows.

MIAMI — More than a dozen advocacy groups have issued a warning about traveling in Florida saying immigration arrests there have soared more rapidly in the past year than in any other area of the country.
Leaders from immigrant rights and nonprofit organizations said Wednesday that new cooperation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and 17 Florida sheriffs is also spreading fear in the state.
The travel advisory issued by 15 groups warns immigrants from other states to reconsider Florida trips or to be ready to encounter immigration agents at airports, sea ports and bus stations.
Two recent Border Patrol arrests of passengers on Greyhound buses sparked anger and led lawmakers to demand a review of searches and seizures in the 100-mile (160-kilometer) zone near borders and coasts.

Date: 02/20/13 07:16 am Title: Epilogue (C)
Dear LORD this story was fantastic!!!! Everything... and I mean everything...was perfection! I'm going to admit that I preferred Alternative B for the obvious reasons but even Alternative A was magnificient! You really have a gift for words and I really think you captured the essence of the boys' relationships! This is the first BSB story I've read and I was a bit hesitant because of all the sci-fi...remind me never to doubt you again - hell I think I'd even read romance if you wrote it!
Anyways, enough with my ramblings, I'm going to find another fic of yours to read! Thankyou for the fabulous read!! All the best!
Author's Response:
I have to say, when I got an email notification telling me I had a review, I automatically thought it was a spambot trying to sell me Viagara or something. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was actually you! thank you for taking the time to read thia especially since it was your very first BSB fanfic to read. I'm glad I didn't disappoint you. Also kudos to you for trying out a sci fi. I would have never done that. lol :O)
Date: 07/07/12 05:13 am Title: Epilogue (C)
I may have glanced at this "epilogue" when you originally posted it and skimmed, trying not to spoil too much of the story because I knew I wanted to go back and read it someday, but I just wanted to say that it made me as sad reading it this time as it did last time. :( I do wish you'd write more fanfic, but I'm also glad you're still on AC, as I said on the forum. I'm still hoping that when they start doing promo for the next album with Kevin, you'll get reinspired! ;)
Author's Response:
aww lol I remember you commenting in here the first time I posted! Who knows? Maybe I will! Like i said, I can see myself at least still writing one shots. Maybe by next summer my love will be restored via Kevin! :O) Thanks again!
Date: 07/07/12 05:08 am Title: Epilogue (B)
OMG Nick really came back to life?!?! WOW, that was happier than I thought it was going to be, honestly! LOL I hoped they would make it back to their world in this version, but I really thought Nick would stay dead. That was a nice surprise! It's a sci-fi, so I'll accept miraculous resurrections. I like the idea of the Backstreet Boys as a complete fivesome much better than just the four of them and dead Nick. =D I love that they got dumped off at the airport - I think I forgot to say so in my review for the A Epilogue because I was so shocked, but I liked it in that version too. I'm just glad this one had planes and people!! LOL I thought it was cool how their Matt was the doppleganger of the Matt in the post-apocalyptic universe. I had forgotten all about the Matt that died in the airplane, so I never would have made that connection LOL, and it's interesting that they didn't realize it while they were in the other universe either. The theme of redemption definitely came through when Leighanne was there to meet Brian and when Howie mentioned his gratitude over getting a second chance. I loved the very ending, with the mention of the news report about Trump... dun dun dun!!! Although I enjoyed the other ending for its shock value and the whole idea of alternate endings was fun, this whole B track was much more satisfying than the other one, so thank you for that! I will give more of an overview in my final survey, I'm sure, whenever you get around to posting that at the end of the month, but I really enjoyed this story; it was different, but really cool! You did an awesome job with it!!
Author's Response:
Of course I brought Nick back to life! I vowed never to kill the guys in my fanfics and by bringing them all back to life at the end I kind of stuck to my promise, maybe... a little? And yes, it's Sci fi so he *says in Monty Python English accent* 'got better' lol I knew i'd have them back at the airport right before they left so this way they could not get on that plane. As a joke at the end, I was going to have Leighanne still be all huffy about not taking a plane and demand to board only to have none of them try to stop her, including Brian as a final parting jab at one of my favorite people, but I decided to end it 'classy' lmao Thanks so much for reading this Julie! I can't believe you're already done with it. I honestly wasn't sure if you'd like this one or not and it was a huge relief to see you enjoyed it! It meant a lot to me! :O)

This chapter turned out just how I thought it would! As soon as Alan died, I knew someone would need to take his place to set off the bombs. I figured it would be Nick because I knew something would keep him from going through the tear, since that obviously didn't work out so well in the other scenario LOL. I wasn't surprised when Kevin volunteered because that's such a Kevin thing to do, but I figured Nick would either step up at the end or just push Kevin through the tear at the last minute, Bruce Willis in Armageddon style. But even though I called what was going, I liked the idea of Kevin thinking he was going to die this whole chapter. It was very Deathly Hallows! Again with the HP references LOL, but that's really what it reminded me of, Harry's walk into the forest to sacrifice himself to Voldemort. It was really sad when Kevin found a way to say goodbye to each of the guys without revealing his plan. I loved the part when he said that it wasn't really Howie who was the most perceptive, it was Nick. Another part that really got me was when Kevin had told dead Nick that he would see him soon and to tell his dad he was coming... that about got me crying. :( Now onto the last chapter, for real! I can't believe I'm almost done with this story! I hope this ending is happier than the other one... I have faith in you! =P
Author's Response:
Aww, yes. This was my set up chapter for Nick to stay. Again, since everyone was reading both endings simultaneously, they didn't know this was the one Nick was staying behind but I needed to create a scenerio that had him not go with the guys and to really have them think Kevin was leaving. Since I so willingly killed off Nick once, I think people really went for the idea of Kevin dying so I loved the reactions when Nick stayed behind and Kevin let him lol Boy did I piss off a lot of people with the first ending! That was fun. And of course the second one will be happy! It's my last ending ever! lmao

I really loved this chapter! I like how you kept the same scene of Brian sitting in the dark with Nick's body and other Nick coming in, but this one felt more poignant than the A version. The whole dynamic of them being "ghosts" to each other, as you put it, was so interesting. Brian's lost Nick, but is talking to his doppleganger, who has lost his Brian, but it seems like they had exactly the same kind of relationship in both universes. It was touching that they were able to say the things they'd never said to each other, but sad at the same time. Also, I loved that they finally told the back story at the beginning about how the world got this way. I had been wondering that the whole story, about what Trump did and why they started hunting celebrities, and again, the A track didn't really get into that at all, so I'm glad this one did. It just made the whole situation come together and make more sense. I wonder what the commotion at the end was... reading on!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I really loved this chapter. I think it's been another one of my favorites to write. It was fun coming up with that whole Trump story lol gotta love Sci Fi! Only in this world and Days of Our Lives would something so ludicrous work!
Date: 07/07/12 04:32 am Title: Chapter 39 (b)
Okay, now for the B ending! I loved all the info about what the Canadians were doing to the kids in this one. I always wondered about that, and the A track didn't really address it. It does sound like Hitler youth, and the torture Nick described sounds awful. No wonder kids were killing themselves. It's interesting that they brought up the idea of taking him with them earlier in this version than in the other version, where they really DID take him. Did you do that to throw people off as far as which ending was which? Looking forward to more back story in the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Thanks! You know this track was always the 'real' track! so it was going to be the one with all the answers. And yes, I did make it appear that this was the version that would have Nick live for a twist and for the most part it worked the way I wanted it to. hehe! I also wanted anyone who chose track A which again I knew would be most of you, want to be curious enough to check out track B and by ending it the way I did, I was hoping it would spark people to read the B track. You're the first person I know who is reading after it's all been posted so i'll be curious to see if anyone else will read B after A. :O)
Date: 07/05/12 09:51 am Title: Epilogue (A)
OMG!!! LMFAO Well damn, that sucked! All that build up in Nick's thoughts... "What if they don't accept me?" "What if I just want to be me and not him?" Only to go back to that moment in his world when they killed all the guys! GAH!!! I hate you for that twist, but I love you for it too, cause that is such a CYOA kind of ending! That said, I hope the B ending is a little more satisfying. =P
Author's Response:
I am really mean, I know lol the thing is, I knew most of my readers were going to pick this one & there was no way it was going to have a happy ending. I knew one of these endings all the boys would die so I figured this would be the one. That's what happens when you try to bring a doppelgänger into your world. It never works out too well! Hehe :-)
Date: 07/05/12 09:44 am Title: Chapter 41 (a)
Yay, he brought other Nick! I'm sure that had to be really had, to leave Nick's body behind, but I think this was the right choice to make, for all the reasons Kevin gave. The image of Kevin and Nick taking turns hauling Nick's body on their shoulders was really poignant. I loved the moment in the museum when Kevin saw the T-Rex skeleton and thought how much Nick would have enjoyed seeing it, and then he looked over and saw other Nick looking up at it in fascination. Nick wondering if there are dinosaurs in Heaven that you can have as pets was really cute; it made me laugh. And now to see if the hole in the wall really worked! Onto Epilogue A!
Author's Response:
Thanks! Yeah to me it seemed like the right choice for Kevin to make. I mean why leave a perfectly living and breathing Nick to die when he had the option of saving his life. Glad you liked the t Rex thing lol I thought it was cute too!
Date: 07/05/12 09:32 am Title: Chapter 40 (a)
Another really sad chapter... I felt so bad for Brian when he finally broke down, and the way he was talking to dead Nick broke my heart. You did a great job showing how conflicted he was over interacting with the other Nick. It was really cool of other Nick to volunteer to carry Nick's body for them. I think he's probably a good person, same as Nick, and I think the guys are starting to see that. I'm anxious to find out what will happen when they go to the site of this tear and if it will really work. I'm imagining them finding themselves in the Jurassic era, fleeing dinosaurs or something LOL (another South Park reference, sorry.)
Author's Response:
I thought of the fleeing dinosaurs thing too lol that would have been an amusing end. Thanks again for the compliments about the emotions in this chapter with Brian. what weird conflicted emotions he must have had. As far as Nick carrying Nick, I needed to figure put a way to have him go with the guys & that seemed the most logical way to get him there if anything can be called logical in this story lol thanks, Julie!
Date: 07/05/12 09:22 am Title: Chapter 39 (a)
Yay, I finally hit the part where it splits! I think I'm gonna try to read the whole A track tonight and go back for the B next time so I don't get them confused. AJ's anger in this chapter was totally justified, but I'm glad he was able to calm down. I'm glad they brought the other Nick in to help him. I can't imagine how freaky that must be, to be looking at a clone that looks and sounds just like your dead friend. I wonder how different from our Nick he really is, just from his different experiences in this world. The end of this chapter was so sad, with Brian sitting in the dark room with dead Nick, reliving the memory of him being afraid to be alone when he was younger. It seems like that will lead to some compassion for the other Nick, who might be struggling with the same thing.
Author's Response:
Good, I'm glad you chose to read it that way. I would recommend doing one track at a time but as I was writing it, sure people just read one then the other. That was one of the big challenges when it came to the CYOA thing. I'm glad you found AJ's anger justified and I felt bad for poor Brian in this one too. :-( poor other Nick. It's fun having two Nicks to torture!
Date: 07/05/12 09:10 am Title: Chapter 38
Okay, first of all, I want you to know that I laughed out loud forever at the first paragraph of this chapter, the one about Howie liking to sit on his parents' dresser like he was a cat. Once he explained it, it didn't sound quite so weird, but the visual I got in that first paragraph was hilarious. It reminded me of the part in "Stepbrothers" (which is a really stupid movie, but this one part cracked me up) where the dad goes on and on about how all he wanted to be when he was a kid was a T-Rex. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8gY0IT0CuA)
As for the rest of the chapter... I loved the conversation with Charlie. He and his family really are incredibly brave, but I think it'd be easier to make that kind of sacrifice in their situation - their world seems so shitty that, like Howie thought, they'd want to make an exit one way or another. Still, it's very brave, and I love that Matt was able to spread the word to get all the innocent people out of the city before they blow it up. I'm glad the possibility of Charlie and co. coming back through with the guys was at least brought up, even if it wasn't a good idea. I'm guessing the "bastard" who showed up at the end is the other Nick. Yay Other Nick! Even if he killed our Nick, I still want Kevin to pull him through so he can be a Backstreet Boy again!
Author's Response:
Lmao that's hilarious! I don't even know where that cat story came from. Poor weird, Howie! I think between all the lose and tragedy these poor people have experienenced, death would probably be a blessing. Still, I'm not sure I could make that brave a choice either. And yup, time for other Mick to show up again :) lol
Date: 07/05/12 08:54 am Title: Chapter 37
YES, CYOA! I vote bring the other Nick through tear! LOL As for the actual chapter... I felt so bad for Kevin in this one. I like how you did the time and place as "Who cares?" because that definitely fit his whole attitude for most of the chapter, understandably. I could just feel the guilt eating away at him. How horrible that he was the one who had to hear Nick's last words, begging him not to let him die and saying how scared he was. :( I'm glad he pulled it together in the end and got the old hero complex back so he can lead the Boys out of this world, hopefully! Sounds like Matt is gonna sabotage the Canadians and end the world on his own terms - love it! I wonder if it's possible for Charlie and the gang to go through the tear with the Boys, but I guess they'd face the same problem as Nick with the whole doppleganger issue. Can't wait to see what Kevin decides to do about Nick/Nick's body and what the consequences of that decision will be in each scenario!
Author's Response:
Thanks, Julie! Yup the CYOA is getting closer but you already know that lol I realized that I goofed on the location. You were probably like wtf? This is where an outline would have been a good thing. But enough beating myself up with the museum thing lol thanks for the compliments. It was kind of fun writing them grieving. I haven't written super angst in a long time so it was fun to do it for a few chapters. :-) and thanks for the who knows & who cares reference. I'm sure by then that was the general mood. I probably would have given up at that point.
Date: 07/05/12 08:42 am Title: Chapter 36
:( The title of this chapter said it all LOL - you really did do what you said you'd never do! And you did it well. It was sad to watch the guys go through all the different stages of grief - the denial, thinking Nick might still be alive, the anger, with Howie punching Don (LOL), the sadness of course, and finally, the acceptance, as AJ said goodbye in the end. Very sad. :( Now they need to go find the other Nick to be a replacement, just like creepy people who clone their pets! :)
Author's Response:
That's pretty convenient, isn't it? Ah well, our Nick just died but luckily there is an extra one roaming around somewhere! I'm glad you enjoyed the emotions in this chapter and I loved making Howie punch Don. He's had it coming for awhile and Howie seemed like the perfect candidate for the job! Thanks, Julie! Once again time to charge the iPod lol I'll be back later!
Date: 07/05/12 08:34 am Title: Chapter 35
Aww, Nick. :( I knew he was going to die, but I didn't expect it to be from his twin from a parallel universe murdering him LOL. If I were the other Nick, though, I guess I'd do the same thing and guarantee that I'd be the one to survive. Poor Nick, though. Once again, after reading your end note about taking a winter hiatus after this chapter, I'm really glad I'm reading it now - I would have wanted to kill you for leaving us hanging on that! LOL As a final random thought, I wonder what kind of creepy project Matt is working on for the Canadians. You know, when you finally decide to kill one of the guys after vowing never to do it, what better way than having his doppelgänger Stab him? I'm sure it gave Nick something to brag about in the afterlife! It seemed like the next logical step for the other Nick to try to kill this one. Survival of the fittest & yes, this was a really mean place to leave things off. That was really cruel of me! Thanks, Julie!

Date: 07/05/12 08:25 am Title: Chapter 34
I love that there's a tear in the space-time continuum at Shea Stadium! LOL Are there really a lot of disappearances that happen around there? The Bermuda Triangle reference was a good way to make it seem plausible. Did the show Numb3rs revolve around this kind of sci-fi stuff, or was it more solving mysteries in the real world? LOL I have lots of questions for this one filler chapter! I'm glad you explained how Matt was able to maintain such a normal lifestyle with electricity and everything, so it didn't seem too good to be true. I hope they can really trust him... Canadians can be shifty. =P LOL Guess it won't matter if they get caught by the people outside.
Author's Response:
Thanks! Numb3rs dealt mainly with solving cases using math & science but Larry & Amita were the scientists & often talked about trying to search for those things. One of their main goals was searching for that God particle that they just found lol no sci fi in Numb3rs though, that would have been cool!! No one has actually disappeared from Shea to my knowledge. Just put it in there to pay homage to my Mets! I don't remember how I steered them away from there & towards the museum lol I hope I did & it's not one of those inconsistencies I talked about lol yeah, never trust a Canadian!! They are shady folks, eh? :-)

Today is Islamic new year. So, I'd like to say happy new year to all moslems in the world. May Allah blesses our life last year and this year. May us have a better life, better attitude, and improve our worship to Him.
By the way, after my latest post about how to style a blazer by Ria Miranda, I'm still being interested in styling another fashion item of local moslem fashion designers. And it's time for beautiful multi-talented artist, Zaskia Adya Mecca. She has a clothing line with a name taken from her name, Meccanism.
I chose an outerwear, Carissa Cardi, and style it into some looks. Well, an outerwear is the best fashion item we can wear for any styles.
Clean Look is so good for work or any formal occasion. Just make it simple, use monochrome colors, use less pattern or don't wear it at all.

Feminine Look is so adorable and worth to see. Semi-formal occasion or a little party will need this look, especially for those who's like to show your elegance. Behave calmly with this look, sisters.

Casual Look will bring you into a stylish atmosphere of grocery shopping, girls. Going to a market and grocery shopping doesn't mean you can't be stylish, right? It's also available for you simple woman who doesn't want to look too much.

Pop Look will surprise you, I'm sure. You might think that this gray cardigan will not suitable for this look. But I don't think that way. It will neutralize your pop colors, so they'll not look too much. Not all people like the idea of combining many colors in one look, right? We should bring comfort to people around us through fashion too, I think.

The Belgian Grand Prix, run at the Spa circuit, is one of the drivers' favorites. It's a beauitful and fast track with ever changing condition. During the practise runs there was very heavy rain and during the race there was lovely sunshine. The race itself was exciting, but for the wrong reason. Sebastian Grosjean caused a huge crash at the start when he squeezed Hamilton where he could not be squeezed. The results were flying cars and Alonso, Hamilton and Grosjean out of the race. Hamilton's McLaren teammate Jensen Button started from pole and he finished in first place, in what was a relatively easy race for him.

Letterkenny man recovering after being hit by train in Holland
A Donegal man is recovering in hospital after miraculously surviving being hit by a high speed train while jogging.
Kevin Rooney from Letterkenny survived the accident while he was out running in The Hague in the Netherlands where he has lived for more than ten years. The 40-year-old sustained multiple fractures in the accident and was treated in an intensive care unit.
Speaking last night, Kevin's older brother Philip said Kevin was doing very well. And while he remains in hospital, he has been released from intensive care. "There is a fair bit of internal damage and his arm and his leg were badly injured. But hopefully he's going to make a full recovery," he said.
"My mum had been hoping to go over to Holland to be with Kevin, but the hospitals over there only allow you to visit for half an hour at a time when someone is in ICU. Kevin's girlfriend, Fiana, is there with him and to be honest, he will probably need more help when he actually gets released from hospital. He'll be wheelchair-bound for a while and won't be able to do much for himself. So mum's hoping now to get over before Christmas."

HOYLAKE, England — Sergio Garcia hauled himself to within range of Rory McIlroy at the British Open on Saturday when a roar the Spaniard didn't want to hear came from the 16th green behind him.
McIlroy had just rolled in an eagle putt from 15 feet to restore his five-stroke lead at Royal Liverpool. For Garcia, another shot at a first major title was slipping by.
"I've always said, at the end of the day we're all doing our best," Garcia said. "And if somebody is better than you, you can't ask yourself for anything else."
Problem is, Garcia's best hasn't quite been good enough at the majors.
Since missing the cut as an amateur at the British Open in 1996, he has recorded nine top-five finishes in the majors. One of them came here at Hoylake in 2006, when he was tied for fifth after shooting a final-round 73 when in the last pairing with Tiger Woods.
On that occasion, he had been one stroke off Woods' lead after three rounds. Eight years later, his task is even harder — McIlroy is seven shots ahead of him entering the final round Sunday.
"If Rory plays the way he's been playing, it's difficult to see anybody catching him," Garcia said.
Garcia won't be without support in the final round. The galleries at Royal Liverpool really got behind him in 2006, when he was dressed head to toe in garish yellow, but Woods was too strong a foe.

Vietnamese Defence MinisterGeneral Lich presented a speech, which affirmed Vietnam's stance and defencepolicy, contributing to analysing and shaping the changing security order inAsia in general and in the Asia Pacific region in particular.
Speaking at the final plenarysession, Singaporean Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen stressed that despiteinternational order in both security and trade built after World War II has notbeen broken, regional developments and changes in the power balance of bigcountries are making the order in the Asia-Pacific change.
Notably, some unilateralactions by the US in adjusting and imposing trade policies, and the deploymentof China's military ammunition systems in the East Sea are going counter toexisting principles and raising security challenges in the region, henoted.
He urged involved parties tostrengthen coordination in building and consolidating an order based oninternational law in order to maintain development and prosperity in theregion.
Convened by the London-basedInternational Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the Shangri-La Dialogueis the most important regular gathering of defence professionals in theAsia-Pacific, a vital annual fixture in the diaries of ministers and theircivilian and military chiefs of staff.
Since its launch in 2002,the Dialogue has built confidence and fostered security cooperation byfacilitating easy communication among the region's most important defence andsecurity policy-makers.

Where Dancefloors Stand Still is Thaemlitz's first mix CD, and it too has a political dimension, albeit a discreet one. Its title is a reference to Japan's fuzoku law, which has been disrupting clubs there in the last two years by making it illegal to dance after 1 AM. Thaemlitz has lived in Japan since the early '00s, so the issue is personal for him. The mix itself, however, is traditional deep house fare, free of any added commentary. It's a rare instance of Thaemlitz simply having fun, preoccupied with nothing except mixing records.
Even for those that have never seen him DJ, Where Dancefloors Stand Still may sound familiar—Thaemlitz's style behind the decks is cut from the same downy cloth as albums like Routes Not Roots or Midtown 120 Blues. In fact, it's almost uncanny how well his selections fall in line with his own sound. From the first note of Braxton Holmes' "12 Inches Of Pleasure (Ron's Foreplay)"—as perfect an opener as its title suggests—the mood is pure DJ Sprinkles, at once euphoric and subdued. The rest of the mix comes in waves, darker in some parts (Sound Mechanix' "I Can't Forget") and brighter in others (Choo-Ables' "Hard To Get"), but always maintaining that smooth delivery.
Thaemlitz's mixing style plays a big role here—unusually so for a house mix. His weapons of choice are filters and echo effects, and he uses them both liberally, softening the edges of his records with the former and giving them a dreamy sheen with the latter. His transitions are noteworthy too. Sometimes he goes for elaborate blends, cutting between two tracks ("If We Try" and "The Deep") or reprising one tune well into the next ("The Dip (5 AM Dipsco Mix)" into MyMy's "Everybody's Talkin"). Sometimes he does just the opposite: a clean and simple crossfade with no fanfare (or even beatmatching). Gene Farris's "Good Feeling" simply fades out, drums and all, to make way for the next track, and somehow it sounds perfectly natural.
It feels weird to get superlative about something so understated, but Where Dancefloors Stand Still is pretty much flawless. Like Levon Vincent's fabric 63, it burrows deep into an exceptional artist's signature sound, and introduces the listener to some fantastic records in the process. More simply, it's 14 special tracks strung together with finesse, which is really all you can ask for from this format. Top it all off with beautiful cover art—a painting from Emi Winter—and a vinyl sampler with some of the mix's best (and hardest to find) selections, and you've got something approaching perfection.

Amazing bro.
***GDT TAG Mod OFFICIAL [V1 Released]***
My body is ready.
When are you going for a beta?
Nothing is scheduled, but we working on it when we can.
If this comes out It sure will get me back to the game!
The new UI looks so clean and smooth, thanks for keeping this mod in development.
Ayyy, good to see you @Haxor
I've been absolutely swamped as of late, but I'll be trying to get back on a roll ASAP.
I may be able to get extra help on the programming side…maybe.
These past few weeks have been busy for all of us.
I still totally like this mod
Trying to get some extra hands to work on it…
Wish I could help you in knowledge of programming, which I'm only a beginner of C#.
There is however, a forum dedicated to programmers. Called Stack Overflow.
You'll thank me later
Note: The only reason I've post this in public, so anyone else, like me, could ask simple programming questions to professionals. And no, i didn't post this just to advertise, but giving a helping hand to those who needs help.
i know of it, i use it whenever i do web stuff.
Sorry then, i just assumed you needed it.
Still going to keep the post as i mentioned earlier.
Is this mod still in development?
still is, just progress is slow right now.
Waiting since 2014
Me too . When I started this project in 2014, I had absolutely nothing on my plate and had all the time in the world. Now it seems I'm quite busy most of the time…man 3 years fly's by fast.
Good news is that we have decided to finish the mod with our internal resources! So it will be done.
And thanks to ChizbeJoe for putting a considerable dent in the programming side.
To think this project started in July 2014, three years ago, and you guys are still finishing this. That deserves a thumbs up. And another two noses.
Hello , is it possible to have an incomplete version of the mod , to betatest it , and if you want , me and my friend will give you the bugs and the improvements that can be do … Please give us the actual version of the mod , we want to play with it a lot . --Chetrit
