An Alternative to Eclipse
The majority of Android application development takes place within the Eclipse environment.
Eclipse is a proven platform for not only Java application development, but also for Android applications thanks to the flexible and capable "plug-in" environment which provides sophisticated functionality for Android developers.
Two examples of this platform-specific, plug-in functionality include:
Add to this list the build-magic that the Android Developer Tools (ADT) perform behind the scenes:
Working in Eclipse for Android is pretty much a no-brainer, particularly when just starting out.
But what if you want to automate your builds and not have to load Eclipse every time a source file changes? After all, shops with larger projects and multi-developer teams might want to perform nightly, incremental builds.
To automate Android builds, we can use ant. ant is a build tool similar to make. Instead of using makefiles, ant uses a file named build.xml which in turn references any number of external Java properties files. ant's lineage traces back to the Tomcat application server project — and has since found its way into many other projects, including Android.
Creating a project
This next section assumes that you have the Android SDK installed on your development machine as well as a copy of ant in your execution path.
Create a new directory — I am going to call mine: Antroid.
To create a new project, we will use the android command line program found in the tools directory of the Android SDK. To learn more about this very capable program, type:
android /?
to see a quick display of the command line options available to us.
We want to create a new project, so the base command we want is:
android create project
This command takes a number of options. Here is the usage display:
Action "create project":
Creates a new Android Project.
-t --target Target id of the new project [required]
-k --package Package name [required]
-a --activity Activity name [required]
-n --name Project name
-p --path Location path of new project [required]
One of the options we need to supply is which platform we want to target. In order to determine which platforms are available on your system, execute the following command:
android list targets
The output is a list of the available targets we can choose from.
Available Android targets:
id: 1 or "android-3"
Name: Android 1.5
Type: Platform
API level: 3
Revision: 1
Skins: HVGA (default), HVGA-L, HVGA-P, QVGA-L, QVGA-P
id: 2 or "android-6"
Name: Android 2.0.1
Type: Platform
API level: 6
Revision: 1
Skins: HVGA (default), QVGA, WQVGA400, WQVGA432, WVGA800, WVGA854
id: 3 or "Google Inc.:Google APIs:6"
Name: Google APIs
Type: Add-On
Vendor: Google Inc.
Revision: 1
Description: Android + Google APIs
Based on Android 2.0.1 (API level 6)
* com.google.android.maps (maps.jar)
API for Google Maps
Skins: WQVGA400, WVGA800, WQVGA432, HVGA (default), WVGA854, QVGA
Because we may want to use some Google Maps features in our application, we're going to use a target value of "3″. This "platform" is based on the 2.0.1 Android platform, but is also equipped with the Google Maps functionality. To learn more about installing multiple Android platforms via the Android SDK and AVD Manager, have a look at this Linux Magazine article.
Let's go ahead and create a new project:
android create project --target 3 --name antroid --package com.linuxmag.antdemo --activity antroid --path .
Here is the output. Notice that all of the scaffolding for our Android project is generated for us!
Created directory /Users/fableson/Documents/Antroid/src/com/linuxmag/antdemo
Added file ./src/com/linuxmag/antdemo/antroid.java
Created directory /Users/fableson/Documents/Antroid/res
Created directory /Users/fableson/Documents/Antroid/bin
Created directory /Users/fableson/Documents/Antroid/libs

Created directory /Users/fableson/Documents/Antroid/res/drawable-mdpi
Created directory /Users/fableson/Documents/Antroid/res/drawable-ldpi
Added file ./AndroidManifest.xml
Added file ./build.xml
The last file in the bunch is the key to using ant — build.xml. Let's take a closer look.
Building with Ant
The syntax of ant's build.xml is beyond the scope of both this column and at present, this author. The short story is that the build.xml file created in the previous step contains references to three Java properties files which define environmental- and project-specific settings crucial for building this project.
Of even more significance for Android projects such as this one, a number of references are made to Android SDK-supplied ant Jar files (i.e. libraries) which contain the instructions on how to build an Android project with ant. These steps include all of the Android SDK goodies like the resource compiler and packaging tools. The Android specific rules are found in:
Just for fun, let's take a sneak peak at a couple sections taken from android_rules.xml:
<!-- Generates the R.java file for this project's resources. -->
<target name="-resource-src" depends="-dirs">
<echo>Generating R.java / Manifest.java from the resources...</echo>
<exec executable="${aapt}" failonerror="true">
<arg value="package" />
<arg line="${v.option}" />
<arg value="-m" />
<arg value="-J" />
<arg path="${gen.absolute.dir}" />
<arg value="-M" />
<arg path="AndroidManifest.xml" />
<arg value="-S" />
<arg path="${resource.absolute.dir}" />
<arg value="-I" />
<arg path="${android.jar}" />
<!-- Puts the project's resources into the output package file
This actually can create multiple resource package in case
Some custom apk with specific configuration have been
declared in default.properties.
<target name="-package-resources">
<echo>Packaging resources</echo>
<aaptexec executable="${aapt}"
basename="${ant.project.name}" />
It is possible to override the behavior of these build rules taken from the SDK templates.
OK, now for the hard part, let's build our project with ant:
OK, so that wasn't too difficult, was it?
Here is a really neat thing about using ant — we can actually perform a build and install operation in one command:
ant install
This will initiate the build and then copy the application to a connected device or running emulator. Here is the output running on my Macbook and connecting to an instance of the Android emulator:
Buildfile: build.xml
[setup] Project Target: Google APIs
[setup] Vendor: Google Inc.

That's pretty much it — add this to the list of things that take a moment to learn and quite longer to become a "master". I'd love to continue, but I just learned that Google released version 2.1 of the SDK — which is what the Nexus One is using — so I'm going to run and start downloading the new SDK.

'I was warm, and the ground beneath me was soft with moss and fallen leaves. I could not believe that only this morning I had woken in Peleus' palace. This small clearing, the gleaming walls of the cave within, were more vivid than the pale white palace had ever been.'
Madeline Miller writes a beautiful modern translation of the events leading up to the Trojan war, and then the war itself. Narrated by Patroclus, (Achilles' close friend, and in some texts, this one included, lover) the life of Achilles, Patroclus and those close to them, is shown in a new and particularly accessible light.
I have always adored reading about Greek Mythology, and loved reading the Iliad, the Odyssey and Metamorphoses back in my university days, so 'The Song of Achilles' went straight to the top of my list of books to read. Miller did not disappoint. She writes a beautiful and engrossing translation (taken mostly from early texts) of Achilles' life, and paints some fantastic imagery with her descriptions. I was not at all surprised to learn that this novel took her nearly 10 years to write; it is an absolute masterpiece, and I too would have voted it the winner for the Orange Fiction Prize 2012.
'Her mouth was a gash of red, like the torn-open stomach of a sacrifice, bloody and oracular. Behind it her teeth shone sharp and white as bone.'
The pace is steady yet gripping, and I suspect this will soon be added to school reading lists – both educational and a fantastic read. I very much look forward to reading her next novel, and hope that there is much more to come from her as an author.
Contains a couple of sexual scenes, so I'd say age 14+

I've come to Liverpool for a couple of days to use the last of my annual leave before I get back to work next Tuesday. I'm spending the day mooching around the galleries in Liverpool, and checking out some of the exhibitions for the 2016 Liverpool Biennial.
It's always good to come check out art in Liverpool, places like FACT, the Bluecoat and the Walker Art Gallery always have thought provoking works to take on-board and absorb. Each time I see something and I have a reaction to it, I notice a subtle shift in my sensibilities that helps me to view the world around me in different ways. The effect might wear off when I get back on the bus, but it's something I have to keep doing once in a while to recharge my batteries and get me thinking again.
Two stand-out pieces that have had an impact with me this time have both been video based, which I normally avoid. At FACT, Lucy Beech's film Pharmakon is really engrossing. The immersive sound design and the rich cinematography is captivating. I would be really keen to see more work from Lucy and to experience the set-up that FACT has put together to show it – a wall-to-wall screen with wrap-around sound in a darkened room.
The other artist that caught my attention is Richie Moment. Again I know nothing about this artist, but his work comprises videos displayed on smart-pads on the wall of the Bluecoat Gallery. They have a neon-YouTube aesthetic that relentlessly pushes ideas and images out to the viewer. Watching them in-passing in a gallery doesn't do them justice.
One of the other reasons for my visit to Liverpool is to sit in some cafes and start to plan my teaching for the coming year. I've had a good break over the summer, with some useful reading under my belt. So I'm feeling relaxed and chilled and coming up with some good ideas for the work that I will be undertaking with learners on the modules I look after.
There are two strands to the modules I run, social media and community media. There is a useful connection between the two, but they are quite different. I can sum up each in a couple of phrases. For the community media modules, it's about helping people to find their own voice in their community and representing that to their neighbours.
For the social media modules, it's about looking at what difference it makes when we approach media from a social point of view, rather than from a mass media mind-set. Thinking about how we share meaningful media experiences is now more useful to us than simply thinking of audiences and mass media consumption. Its more personal, more individual and less easy to predict.
So in planning for the learning experiences of the coming year I'm thinking of focussing on projects that are about collaborations, problem solving and shared experiences, rather than the wider structural and industrial systems or political discourses that have typically been associated with the study of media.
This is about finding-out and understanding how people interact in a meaningful way, how they use media to express themselves, and how they connect in a social network or a community to act accomplish things in their worlds? This means that we can look at media as a participative experience, and as a moving and developmental experience. Things can change, they are in flux, meanings shift and are negotiated, rather than being fixed and inherent in their stylistic forms.
I'll be drawing on the tradition of Symbolic Interactionism to help provide a methodological base for these studies, which is the approach that I arrived at with my PhD research, and which I feel gives a wide sense of flexibility to study, allowing us to think about how people interact with each other in meaningful ways, as a living experience.
So, for the first year social media learners I'm going to be asking them to work on a social project that they can't otherwise do using media technology – such as playing cards, or trying out make-up, or urban ghost walks. This worked really well when I did it last year, and I' going to extend the idea this year. Learners will write and produce blogs, social media posts, YouTube videos and anything else they can think of that allows them to interact with other people in a social way.
It's DIY and has a focus on finding fun and easy ways to interact with people, using the affordances of the media technology that we have to hand, and as a way of generating and sustaining an entertaining and connected social experience.
For the final year social media students, I'm thinking that we should focus more than we did last year. So instead of thinking about sugar consumption more generally in our diets, and the food literacy skills that are associated with processed food culture, I'm thinking that we should focus on a specific group or subcultural community: electronic gamers and their consumption of sugary energy drinks.
I thought we'd do this by making a group video documentary that explains how people in the electronic games community see the sugar-based energy drinks that are marketed at them, and what drives the culture of their consumption.
For the community media modules, John Coster is coming on board to help deliver the modules and to help develop them. This means that we can tap into John's extensive experience running community media workshops and groups.
The first years will learn how to be community reporters, and to use social and other forms of media to discuss issues that are important to different communities around Leicester. We will tap into the DMU Local expertise to help with this.
The second year community media module will explore how community media's purpose is to support community development, and to think about how community media can improve the life experiences of people who are otherwise bypassed by mainstream media, and who don't feel that they have a voice.
I'm going to try and blog as I go along about what I'm doing with these modules. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas that they think will help, then please get in touch – either on social media or using the DMU Commons Wiki. There is lots of work to do, and I'm looking forward to planning it out and putting something engaging in place.

Willem Dafoe: Major Romantic & Erotic Dream Figure
carol irvin | United States | 05/20/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Writer-director Paul Schrader delivers his most satisfying film for me. He is even better known for his work when he solely screenwriters, such as for his unsurpassed "Taxi Driver," directed by his frequent collaborator, Marty Scorsese. For his own solo film though, this is my favorite. Schrader's film work is frequently compared to the late Robert Bresson's films. However, Bresson has always been a little too painterly for me. Schrader is painterly enough and to make it any more so evokes that dreaded word in film: slow. I frankly prefer this film to the Bresson films I've seen, which makes me a film heretic I realize. Urban alienation is at the core of this film, which is true of all Schrader's work, and Willem Dafoe plays a nocturnal drug dealer who doesn't get much sleep (hence the title), probably because his dreams remain so elusive from his grasp, as a metaphor for the overall film. Two women present the immediate conflict in the film. Susan Sarandon plays a drug dealer who Dafoe works for and she tells him that they both need to get out of dealing. She plans to open a legitimate cosmetics business and seems capable of following through on the idea. She is the most in control of her life of the three main characters. Dana Delany plays Dafoe's former lover, who doesn't want anything to do with him because they were substance abusers together in the past. Although he's clean now, he still deals. But is her character as squeaky clean as she now proclaims to be? Dafoe needs to figure that out. Further tension comes about from the eroticism between Dafoe and Delany plus the growing potential for eroticism between Dafoe and Sarandon. Dafoe is absolutely wonderful in this film and becomes a major romantic and erotic dream figure for the viewer regardless of what the viewer thinks of him vis a vis the two women."
Diff D | York, PA United States | 07/14/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Unusual in the usual world of American movie theater. Thought provoking and very consequential, certainly not unpredictable but somehow enriching and very humane. The characters of drug dealers turn out to be very likeable and egzistential.
There are many weaknesses in this plot - violent end seems to be repeating "Taxi Driver" in a sort of casual "Crime And Punishment" way, nevertheless it is very simplistic. Drug dealer is apparently more in a character of Paul Schreader than a realistic immersion into the psyche of a drug dealer. The main character narates too much as if we have a problem to understand his actions, unnecessary in my view. And there is a genuine bad guy as if to create the vent for the eventual explosion at the end. He is reduced to inhumanity perhaps to underline the humanity of others that some of us would have trouble accepting. All in all few weak places and yet because these types of intelligent movies are so rare, it is so much beyond the typical Holywood entertainment sewer. All the actors are doing great work as expected."
Greekfreak | Pusan Korea (South) | 06/11/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I can watch this film at the drop of a hat and not mind that I've seen it a million times. It's not my favourite film, and I have more than a few criticisms of it, but overall, it's one that I'm glad I own.The acting is fine--Susan Sarandon and Willem Dafoe always are--and Dany Delany does a credible job, but the real star is the screenplay, which was written by the director Paul Schrader. It's endlessly quotable, realistic, funny, and at times thought-provoking.The soundtrack is marred by having the same no-name singer (who's trying so desperately to ape Bryan Ferry) all throughout--and I thought Vonda Sheppard was lousy--but the incidental music is nice.Completely overlooked, and well worth the rental."
"It's cologne. I'm a sucker for that airplane stuff."
J from NY | New York | 11/04/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This movie really is a mixed bag. I'd been looking for it for years, and I suppose expectations had far exceeded the actual film. Paul Schrader never fails to deliver in terms of gritty reality with some actual morals ("Taxi Driver", of course, is the best example), so maybe I expected another "Taxi".
The amazing thing about this film is the sharp, sharp contrast between the plot and the way the characters act. William Dafoe plays a drugdealer, and Susan Sarandon plays his main connection, but at no point do we see either of them as villains. Eating Chinese, yucking it up, laughing with one another about the old days and certain forms of art, there are moments when you think you're watching a sitcom rather than a movie about a guy with a vendetta trying to climb out of the sewer of dealing/addiction.
John (Dafoe's character) has some real bright shiny moments, and I'm not kidding. It's like he's the Mr. Rogers of drugdealers. This fat guy is whigging out on coke and crystal meth and Dafoe goes, "I remember when your wife was here, when you had a life. Come on". What is he, a drug counselor? The jazz music just don't work as well as it did in "Taxi", because nothing is really going on that seems all that dreadful.
There is a reality check, however, amongst the "Friends" atmosphere the film creates. Dafoe's former lover, who now shuns him, gets strung out after her mother dies and jump off a hotel balcony owned by one of Susan Sarandon's customers. Hence Dafoe's decision to buy a gun.
I have to say I've never seen anything quite like this. It manages to turn drugdealers into characters from "Today's Special". It doesn't glorify it or not glorify it. You have to see this movie to believe it.

The brownie points for Farah from my side, ends there itself. If she still feels that making fun of Bollywood icons (in HNY its Saroj Khan's turn) is cool and her monotonous-to-death humor still looks good on-screen as off it, then she is hugely mistaken. I presume, she also accepts this fact and that's the reason she tries to hide everything behind greased 8-pack abs of a SuperStar and her success hinges on devout followers of King Khan. If somebody disagrees, replace SRK with any other 'humane' actor from Bollywood in HNY, and you would get your answer.
HNY is shot on a large scale - the visuals are breathtaking, costume designing is at par with any other magnum opus and basic premise of the flick was quite an interesting idea – if not novel. The money spent on the extrinsic features was compensated by hiring no dialogue writers and choreographers. Dialogues are 'khichdi' from all previous SRK's movies and as I said at the start – Farah thinks it's funny. I was waiting for 'Ek Chutki Sindoor..' too; not sure if that was also used somewhere because I dozed off in between. If dance competition is the crux of your movie and you don't have any dance or song routine that you can think off once you are out of theatre, then that guarantees a self-introspection. Compare 'Lovely' with a 'Sheila' and Farah would understand that she needs an outsider at the helm ……. Now!!!! If I would say HNY is a predictable affair then that would be an understatement of this decade. The Climax of such movies is always predictable, but unfortunately in HNY every scene gives you an idea of a subsequent one.
SRK sleep walks his part as there is nothing new to offer for him in this (as 89.99% of his movies) barring working-out for couple of scenes to showcase his chiseled frame. Boman Irani is an actor who always performs in extremes – either he performs on unparalleled tangent or he hams his way annoyingly. Sadly in HNY, he is in latter avatar. Vivaan Shah was fine for his debut and his real test starts now. Deepika would be first to accept that she looked good and acted better in many of her previous outings. Farah thinks Sexy Deepika imitating disgusting Rakhi Sawant in 'Dance Pooja hia…' dialogue is funny. Well….. Err…. No Comments!! Sonu 'shirtless' Sood was unintentional hilarious but the movie belongs to Abhishek Bacchan. We all know he has penchant for comic roles as we have seen in Bol Bacchan. In HNY he was in full unabashed form and his 'Esnakes Dance' is sure shot hit. Infact he has the best scene in the movie, for me – at the climax – No Spoilers please!!
Good thing about HNY? Last half an hour!! Farah is shrewd story-teller, for sure. She knows Public loves Heist/Robbery/Revenge Dramas and normally such flicks end on a high. And when you amalgamate the same with a tinge of patriotism then – Kya kehne!! But in order to reach to that bright spot – aka last half an hour, you need to cross 'Aag ka Dariya' i.e. excruciating and whopping 2 and half hours. Ready for the Challenge?
HSR Verdict: Borrowing and twisting a dialogue from the movie. There are two types of moviegoers: first - SRK/Sallu (and alike) blind followers/worshipers who get 'Kick' in every 'Happy New Year' and second – all other sane ones who only expect undiluted and impartial entertainment. Second Category normally Stays in Peace!!

SOUTH PORTLAND — Three of the four communities charged with cleaning up the Long Creek watershed in South Portland approved an interlocal agreement Monday night to create a legally binding watershed management district.
Legislative bodies in Portland, South Portland and Westbrook voted unanimously to establish the Long Creek Watershed Management District. The fourth community, Scarborough, is scheduled to vote on the agreement at its Aug. 19 meeting.
If approved by Scarborough, each community will appoint a certain number of members to a Board of Directors of up to 16 members to oversee and implement the Long Creek Restoration Plan, which seeks to upgrade old storm-water systems to clean runoff before it enters Long Creek.
South Portland, which is leading the clean-up effort, has the greatest influence on the panel, since the vast majority of the 3.5-square-mile watershed is located there. That city will appoint seven members to the board: two municipal officials or employees, four watershed landowners and a representative from a nonprofit with interests in the watershed.
Portland, and Scarborough if it signs on to the agreement, would each appoint two officials and Westbrook would appoint three.
South Portland City Attorney Sally Daggett said a provision has been added to allow the Maine Turnpike Authority and the Department of Transportation to each appoint a board member.
Establishing the district will not cost the municipalities any money. However, municipalities that own land within the watershed will either have to address their storm-water issues individually or contribute clean-up costs on a district-wide basis through a general permit to be determined by the Department of Environmental Protection, which is considered a low-cost option.
So far, the group's effort to work collaboratively with private and public landowners has been lauded as a national model by the federal Environmental Protection Agency, which recognized the group at an awards ceremony this year in Boston.
The DOT is currently working on laying the state's first stretch of porous pavement on a major road to address polluted storm-water runoff on Maine Mall Road. Efforts are also underway to restore the buffer of Jackson Creek, which runs between the Maine Mall and the Turnpike Spur.
South Portland Mayor Tom Blake said he hopes the clean up efforts will usher in a return of the fishing derbies he remembers as a child in the 1960s.
"I always get a hoot out of watching people out there," Blake said. "They don't catch anything, but it will turn around."
He added, "This is a model for America and I think it's going to work."
Maine Mall street lights
The City Council tabled action on a $270,000 proposal to reconfigure street lights on Maine Mall Road and Gorham Road.
Funding for the project was approved as part of the 2006 capital improvement budget, but current councilors decided to hold a workshop to re-evaluate the proposal.
Although Councilor Jim Soule sought to delay action because of the cost, Blake said the city should ask the contractor about incorporating timers into the lights so they can be shut off in the overnight hours when the shops are closed.
City Manager Jim Gailey said the current plan would remove the 42 existing street lights and install 39 new fixtures on the mall side of Maine Mall Road from the Payne Road Bridge and along Gorham Road to Philbrook Avenue.
Prior to several state construction projects, Gailey said there were as many as 45 street lights along that stretch.
Councilor Patti Smith said the council needs to make sure it is being consistent when it comes to its street light policy, noting that efforts are currently underway to remove more than 100 street lights in residential districts.
In other business, the council approved nearly $133,000 in new Dell computers for the School Department. The purchase includes 108 laptops, 35 desktops and 115 monitors.

Service to focus on conflict in Darfur
The public is invited to a religious service at 7:30 p.m. on Friday to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Sudan's Darfur region, where conflict has killed more than 180,000 people and left 2 million displaced. The service will be held at Temple Beth-El, 305 W. Madison St. Leaders say the service is intended to be comfortable to members of any faith. A 10-minute DVD about Darfur will be shown, including slides taken by a serviceman. Temple Beth-El will have postcards asking for the support of congressmen and senators. T-shirts will be for sale, too. After services, there will be a chance to chat over pastries, coffee and juice. It is part of a week of prayer and action among faith communities, which was called for by the Million Voices for Darfur Campaign (on the Web at www.savedarfur.org).
Man says he was shot in leg by a stranger
A 57-year-old man was shot in the leg early Tuesday in the 4500 block of Carlisle Street. The man told police he was walking near the intersection of Huron and Meade streets when a young man approached him and asked what was in the victim's bag. For some reason when the suspect came closer, he became startled, the victim told police, and shots were fired. The victim suffered a bullet wound to his right calf, but the injury was not life-threatening, reports said.
Transpo sponsors 'Talk to Us' session
One bus rider wanted better communication about route changes, another wanted Sunday bus service and a third wanted his picture taken -- and got it. As riders filed to their morning bus routes at Transpo's South Street Station early Wednesday morning, representatives of the public transportation corporation were on hand to listen to questions, concerns and suggestions from riders. It was all part of "Talk to Us," a program Transpo has periodically used to take the pulse of its customers. According to Mary McLain, Transpo's general manager, the next program will be from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on May 10 at Transpo's Mishawaka Transfer station on Fourth Street. For more information, call Transpo at (574) 233-2131.
Woman alleges abuse by men at drug houses
A Mishawaka woman told police Tuesday that she was kidnapped Monday afternoon and taken to four crack houses in South Bend, where, she said, she was forced to disrobe and perform oral sex in exchange for her captors receiving free crack cocaine. The woman told the police that she was on Mishawaka Avenue near Albright United Methodist Church, where the food pantry was open, when two men pulled up in a truck, grabbed her and forced her into the vehicle. The vehicle was tan or beige, with a brown stripe along the bottom, she told the police. The truck also had a cap, giving it the appearance of a Suburban with orange rust or spots along the bottom, she said. The victim told the police that all four crack houses were on the east side of South Bend. She said she was abused sexually at three of the four houses so that her kidnappers could smoke crack for free. The victim told the police that she was able to get away on Saturday morning when her abductors went to the Hope Rescue Mission to eat.

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has urged youths to develop appetite for information as a transformation tool.
Okorocha was addressing youths at the first Imo Youth Annual lecture series and Award, with the theme: "Building an Ideal Imo Youth", at the Imo Youth Centre.
His words: "As the future of this great country and state, you must rise to convert your potentials into action. Arouse your kinetic energy and see results of what you can do or become in the future.
"To do this, the very key is information. There is no difference between the rich and the poor, but information. Make friends with somebody you can answer 'Sir' to. Seek transfer of knowledge, rather than seeking for money, for money can finish but knowledge is always there.
"You are created with something deposited right inside you, and never fail nature that expects you to rise to fulfil your dreams. Lack of vision brings poverty and the worst poverty is poverty of the mind. You must set lofty and achievable goals for yourselves.
"Make yourselves available to other seminars, such as this, to acquire education and transfer of knowledge faster; this brings out the very best in you. Don't make excuses in order to succeed; take responsibilities and admit it because you will only have yourselves to blame if you fail to develop your potentials.
"Learn to start small so that you can tell your story and stop all forms of gossip and backbiting. Discover your talent, that which you find easy to do, and follow it; it is God's will for you. A man who has started a journey and made a mistake is better than one who has not started at all".

By Tom Duncan, Director/Producer, ScreenHI
Part 1: Arrival and First Look at Cinema Cameras
The Broadcast Video Expo in London is the go-to tech event for the media production industry. BVENorth however, is an offshoot of the main event which brings all the big names in production up to Manchester for 2 days in November. ScreenHI sent our resident Producer/Director Tom Duncan along with frequent collaborator and aspiring Cameraman Kevin McAloon to get the lowdown.
|Manchester City Centre
|Venue for BVE North 2012 - Manchester Central
Tom: Over the next couple of days I'm probably going to learn a million new things I'll need to forget by this time next year. But Kev and I are going to do our best to filter through the sales pitches to narrow down the most relevant info: what hardware and software out there just now is worth investing in? As far as I'm concerned, I'm a selfshooter with tight turnarounds, mostly for the web. I need cost effective lightweight kit which can work in all environments and still look impressive. I'm interested in DSLR technology and 35mm filmmaking but it won't heavily impact my day-to-day workflow.
Kev: I'm a self-confessed camera geek so I want to see the biggest and best of BVENorth. I'm hoping to further my career in the camera department and being up to date with kit is a key part of that. I'm particularly interested in finding a camera which fills the gap between the DSLR and pro camcorder ranges. What is the next step up for a DSLR user?
|Manchester Central
Cinema Cameras - Blackmagic and Sony
Our first stop on the Tuesday morning was the Creative Video stand where they were exhibiting the Sony F55 and BlackMagic Cinema Cameras. Over the past year, the camcorder market has been playing catch up with the DSLR revolution and these 2 cameras can be considered game-changers in their own right. The Sony F55 is lined up to rival the RED workflow which has dominated low budget digital cinema production over the last 4 years. The BlackMagic, retailing at under £2000, brings 2K RAW recording to a new market.
Tom: (Gripping BlackMagic Cinema Camera) This feels awesome. I'm impressed by the ergonomics and feel of both this and the F55 but the obvious drawback of these contraptions is the convoluted rigs required to maximize their output. I'd be worried about the internal battery too - always having to recharge on location could be difficult. The F55 shoots 4K and although it's not released until January, is expected to be priced aggressively to challenge RED's dominance.
Kev: Hmm the Blackmagic Camera, I've wanted to get my hands on this thing for a while but I've read mixed reviews. Lets start with the sensor; 15mm 2.3x crop; this means that your image is reducing your field of view by over two times. It's going to be hard to find a lens which will give you a nice wide shot. Also, it's not an "out of the box" camera. It requires plenty of add-ons, like a cage system, before you can go shooting. Many thought it was going to be a killer camera, leaving DSLRs and even some higher end cameras by the wayside but the more we learn this seems less likely. Peeking through the viewfinder however, one thing is killer and that's the image, and above everything else, people buy killer images.
|Camera testing
The busiest stand throughout the morning was undoubtedly the Canon exhibit. With a plethora of new models encircling an extravagant C300 ice sculpture, Canon have firmly established themselves at each price and production point in the digital cinema revolution. We sidestepped the throbbing crowds and snuck around to the HireACamera stand, where their C300 model was rigged up to a Zacuto Recoil.
|Kev at the Canon stand
|More camera testing
Tom: This is an incredibly compact camera system which again requires a beast of a rig. Part of this rig is a Samurai Ninja breakout box. It's used to capture higher bit-rate broadcast output - I just don't understand why this functionality isn't built in to the cameras. The electronic viewfinder and wooden grips add a legitimacy and ergonomic feel to the rig but ultimately I struggled to get to grips with it, clattering into the nearby jib and almost knocking out one of the HireACamera staff.
Kev: Being a Canon user myself I wanted to have a look at the toys on display and something caught my eye. It looks like the C300 but noone is having their photo taken with it. Upon closer inspection it's a C100. My first thoughts are: "Cool, it's what you buy if you want the C300 but cant afford it". Priced at about £4,000+VAT, Im intrigued. It has the same sensor size as it's older brother, ergonomically it's a little smaller, but the devil is in the detail. This has limited options in terms of frame rates compared to the C300. Realistically I would want that for the money I'd be parting with. The search for a legitimate step up from my DSLR continues.

purpose. To evaluate an intraocular drug delivery system consisting of the
crystalline ammonium salt of
(HDP-P-GCV) as a slow-release form of the drug.
methods. A dosage of 0.885, 1.57, 2.8, 4.486, or 8.85 μmol of ammonium salt
HDP-P-GCV in 0.1 mL was intravitreally injected into rabbit vitreous.
The toxicity and safety were evaluated with ophthalmoscopy,
electroretinography, and pathology. Drug vitreous levels were
determined at various time intervals by means of HPLC. The treatment
efficacy and duration of efficacy were tested in a herpes simplex virus
(HSV)-1 retinitis rabbit model.
results. Intravitreal injections of the compound revealed clear vitreous of
optic axis, a desirable drug depot in the inferior vitreous cavity, and
no clinical toxicity, except for variable mild local posterior
subcapsular cataract and local retinal toxicity with high doses. HPLC
analysis showed free ammonium salt of HDP-P-GCV in the upper vitreous
at a level of 0.2 μM 12 weeks after the 2.8-μmol initial
intravitreal dose. Drug concentration was still 1.95 μM 20 weeks
after the 8.85-μmol initial intravitreal dose. These concentrations
(0.2 and 1.95 μM) were 10 and 100 times higher, respectively, than
the median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of HSV-1 (0.023μ
M). Treatment with the highest nontoxic dose (2.8 μmol) and the
highest dose (8.85 μmol) showed significant protection from HSV-1
infection (P < 0.05) and provided sustained
antiviral effect after a single intravitreal drug injection.
conclusions. The crystalline ammonium salt of HDP-P-GCV may be a very useful local
therapy for herpes family viral retinitis.

Satellite broadcaster Sky has announced that its iPlayer-style on-demand television service will begin to roll out to customers from Tuesday. Called Anytime+ the new services will operate as an extension to Sky's current on-screen programme guide and will be available only to Sky Broadband customers.
A constantly updated library of content will include "thousands of hours of great TV", the broadcaster said, as well as 600 films and "box-sets" that will include series from cult American broadcaster HBO. Content will be drawn primarily from the broadcaster's core channels including Sky Movies, Sky Sports, Sky Arts and Sky 1 and will be free to subscribers.
Sky's move in to video-on-demand follows the enormous success of other services, led by the BBC iPlayer, but the broadcaster will join Virgin and BT Vision as one of only a few broadcasters who offer such a service direct to the television, rather than through a computer. An increasing number of television manufacturers, including Samsung and Sony, now make the BBC iPlayer available direct through their TV sets.
Yesterday, telegraph.co.uk revealed that Channel Five is also making a new push into video-on-demand by upgrading its Demand Five service, and earlier this week telecommunications regulator Ofcom said that it would not be investigating the forthcoming BBC-backed service YouView, which will offer a platform for a range of on-demand services.

The five things you need to know on Thursday, February 9…
For the Eurosceptics, joy it was to be alive in Westminster last night. Outside the Members' Lobby, both John Redwood and Bill Cash told me that "historic" was, for once, the right word to apply to the Brexit Bill clearing the Commons. One senior ministerial Brexiteer, ahead of the Third Reading of the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, couldn't hide his delight, telling me "I am about to have the best moment of my life, since my wedding night! I've waited for this for 25 years!"
Many Cabinet ministers were pointing out the scale of the vote (roughly 5-1) meant that the Lords would be daft to attempt to block the will of the Commons - and of the public. Most ministers know that Labour's Lords leader Baroness Smith has already said she won't defy the EU referendum result. But I, along with other hacks, got a text from a senior Government source: "The Lords will face an overwhelming public call to be abolished if they now try and frustrate this bill".
And the Telegraph has a wonderful quote that Tory whips would order "everyone who is not lame, dead or senile" to back the bill. No.10 were this morning dialling down that rhetoric, and David Davis himself stressed the Lords were perfectly entitled to scrutinise the legislation (all 136 words of it). DD did add that peers had to do their 'patriotic duty'.
A triumphant Davis was in Strangers' Bar after the vote, and offered to give Diane Abbott a kiss, I'm told. She recoiled and told him to 'fuck off'. Abbott was accompanied by Shami Chakrabarti, one of DD's allies on civil liberties during his 'wilderness years'. It's unclear whether the DD-Abbott exchange was all friendly banter or had a real edge.
Tom Newton-Dunn in the Sun has some fascinating intel on Tuesday night's botched Tory Remainer rebellion, revealing Nicky Morgan claimed she had been "lied to by the Prime Minister" over plans to give MPs a meaningful vote on the final Brexit deal. But in the end, the past few days showed a masterclass by Theresa May and Davis in how to handle a Commons rebellion with a tight majority.
With the Brexit bill set to clear the Lords by March 7, the day before the Budget, we could even see May add a final flourish by triggering Article 50 in the middle of the month - two weeks early.
Given the general public's lack of interest in politicians, I suspect some will know who Diane Abbott is, but very few will have ever heard of Clive Lewis. Depending on Lewis's next few months, they may get to hear more of him.
Or they may not. Because for all the media hoopla about the resignation of the former Shadow Business Secretary last night - when he finally decided to defy the party whip to oppose the Brexit bill - many Labour MPs in the lobby and bars were issuing a collective 'meh'. And never forget that under current rules, new candidates for party leader need 35 MPs to nominate them. I'm told Lewis would at the moment get no more than 20.
MPs point out he was Shadow Business Sec for four months and Shadow Defence for three and a half months and did little in either to take the fight to the Tories. Several pointed out Lewis mistakenly voted for the Government clauses on the bill at one point.
Of course, Lewis has a decent backstory as a working class, mixed-race kid who served as a soldier then a broadcaster, before entering Parliament in Norwich in 2010. He goes down a storm on the stump with Corbyn-supporting party members and it won't do him any harm to be seen as out of step with the PLP. But rules is rules and unless the NEC can change them, he has a formidable hurdle to jump to get on the ballot paper - not least as MPs were badly burned by the 'oh, go on, it's Jeremy, he won't win' Corbyn nominations in 2015.
Diane Abbott told Newsnight she thinks "This is not a Tony Benn Brexit, this is a Donald Trump Brexit". Which sounded odd, given she voted for the Bill. But in the early hours, she issued a statement saying "I voted for the Bill as a loyal supporter of Jeremy Corbyn".
Corbyn had probably his best ever PMQs yesterday, thanks to his 'sweetheart' texts from one hapless Tory council leader. Yet it was Labour that was looking broken-hearted and shambolic last night after 13 frontbenchers quit. Nicola Sturgeon was swift to pounce on Corbyn's tweet declaring 'REAL FIGHT STARTS NOW', and the online ridicule was brutal. I'm told Rebecca Long-Bailey will get Lewis's job, Andrew Gwynne will get her Shadow Chief Sec job, Jess Morden will get Shadow Wales and Grahame Morris will get Shadow Defra. But Corbyn is in no hurry to do his reshuffle and many junior rebels may escape any punishment.
It wasn't a good look yesterday when the Government slipped out its decision to end the 'Dubs' scheme to take in child refugees. Buried in the fifth paragraph of a Written Ministerial Statement issued between PMQs and the Brexit votes, the Home Office revealed just 350 kids had been helped - far short of the 3,000 many had expected.
Labour peer Lord Dubs, whose amendment last year had set up the scheme, told me it was a "shabby" move, which failed to deliver "the letter and spirit" of his plan. "They've done it in an underhand way but the main issue is what they've done." Today, you can bet that Home Affairs Committee chairman Yvette Cooper has this morning demanded an Urgent Question. Alf tells me he will raise it in the Lords too.
Theresa May has long played hardball on Syrian refugee migration to Europe, insisting that blanket welcomes like Angela Merkel's are counter-productive and preferring to offer support 'in-region'. It may be that the real reason for the low number of children helped in the UK is a lack of places offered by councils, which again points to their own funding issues.
But as Alf told me last year, when May had initially defeated his amendment, he saw her looking pleased: "You might be smiling, but I'm not giving up!". Thanks to the Lords and some Tory rebel MPs, he got his way last year. Will the PM reconsider now, even at this late stage, given the whole issue risks undermining her 'shared society' message? After all, in an interview with the New Statesman, she says: "I hope there are Labour voters out there who will now look at us afresh.."
Watch this blind skateboarder try, try and try again to get a trick right. Just brilliant.
As Elton John didn't quite put it, Surrey seems to be the hardest word. Jeremy Corbyn showed yesterday that he has learned the tricks of the trade at PMQs, asking tight questions and using the powerful ammo of leaked texts about funding at the impeccably Home Counties county.
The killer text from Surrey County Council leader David Hodge was to 'Nick' in Whitehall: 'The numbers you indicated are the numbers I understand are acceptable for me to accept and call off the R.' Turns out Hodge had sent the texts to fellow Local Government Association chief and Newcastle council leader Nick Forbes.
No.10 insisted no special deal had been done and it's true Surrey won't get extra council tax help this year. But Hodge hinted there had been a chat about longer term help: "I am confident that the government now understands the real pressures in adult social care and the need for a lasting solution." This may well apply to all councils. Yet Surrey is also now included in a pilot scheme to let it keep all of the business rates raised across its area. Council and social care funding is an issue that ain't going away.
Elton John's lyrics in fact now sound like a Trump tweet ("It's sad, so sad (so sad) It's a sad, sad situation.."), and it's true that you're never likely to hear the US President apologise for anything. But his recent remarks about the judiciary's blocking of his travel ban are clearly causing concern, even among his allies.
Trump had famously attacked US District Judge James Robart as a "so-called judge" whose "ridiculous" opinion "essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country." Yesterday, Trump went further, declaring "I won't say the court was biased. But so political". Underlining his 'banana Republican' credentials, he appeared to try to rule on the case himself. Now even his own nominee for the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, has told a Democrat senator that Trump's attack was "demoralising and disheartening" for the judiciary.
The FT reports that Trump's pick for EU ambassador, Ted Malloch, embellished his new autobiography. It includes claims that a business documentary he made "was nominated for an Emmy Award". It turns out the film had been submitted for a Lower Great Lakes Chapter Regional Emmy, but not nominated. Best of all, he says he was once "knighted in the Sovereign Order of St John by the Queen, Elizabeth II herself". The award is equivalent to an MBE - and the Queen never attends its investiture.

Stella was the petal from a Rose
A leaf of beauty fallen from the bloom,
Who, carried on the wings of broken dreams
Would share her tears and kisses with the moon.
She lived among remains of withered hearts
Her eyes were cursed from watching their decay,
She stole away in clammy, fevered dreams
To cleanse the vile corruption of the day.
Such visions will infect a troubled soul
No human spirit can itself sustain,
Yet she was christened child of a star
Whose distant orbit was in flux again.

UP to 1.4 million people are expected to tune in next week to the UK's first commercial radio station for the over-50s.
Starting on Tuesday, Saga 105.7FM, based in Hagley Road, Birmingham, will broadcast a mix of music, news and features 24 hours a day to people in the West Midlands.
The station will be headed by former children's programme presenter Peter Tomlinson, best known for co-presenting the Saturday children's TV show Tiswas with Chris Tarrant in the late 1970s.
He said: "I've found myself, for the first time at 58, running a radio station that I'd enjoy listening to.
"I recognise the music and I'm interested in the features - I really can't believe my luck.
"We're the first analogue commercial radio station in the UK to be given a licence to broadcast to this age group.
"There is an image of people over 50 as bent and in Zimmer frames but this radio station is out to prove that if you're over 50 you are not over the hill.
"It will be an enthusiastic, energetic radio station and anyone who listens to the music will be able to see how wrong the Zimmer frame image is.
"I'm interested in the same things as I was when I was co-producing Tiswas in my 20s, only more things interest me now.
"One thing that hasn't changed is a sense of humour and that's something this station will have."
The Saga company provides holidays and insurance for people over 50 and now hopes to cater for the growing number of over-50s whose music tastes and interests aren't covered by other stations.
The station will mix music from the '40s, '50s and '60s, with news, features and interviews .
Tomlinson said: "In 10 years time I think there will be a number of UK radio stations broadcasting for people of 50 and over - they're a major market."

This Saturday April 22nd is Earth Day. And to mark the date, GoCar has said it will grow its fleet of shared cars to over 300. They will also launch the car-sharing service in locations in a new county over the summer. The company is asking the public to choose the county by voting on their website.
It is estimated that the planned expansion will remove up to 5,000 private cars from the streets of Ireland by the end of 2017.
#Earthday2017 is on its way, this year why not consider how #Ireland can change its environmental impact? pic.twitter.com/3c6ah5p8GZ
— GoCar (@GoCarIreland) April 19, 2017
GoCar already has vehicles parked across Dublin and Cork cities. By encouraging multiple people to share a single vehicle, car sharing reduces car dependency, congestion, noise and air pollution. It also frees up land traditionally used for parking spaces.
Each shared car has been proven to replace up to 15 private cars, as well as increasing the use of public transport.

Following his recent success at the Sertoes Rally, Michel Terpins is a man to watch in the rally industry. The Brazilian rally driver is an icon, not just in Brazil but globally too. He started his career early 2002 as a motorcycle rider. His childhood passion for riding pushed him to try it professionally. He managed to compete for two years professionally before joining his brother Rodrigo in the car category in 2004. Since then, Michel has never looked back. He continues to dominate the rally competitions, and for those who know him, he is the best there is.
Field of Specialization
As a rally specialist, Michel Terpins participates in the T1 prototype car competition category. His impressive performances at the Sertoes Rally Championship have enabled him to engrave his name in the Brazilian history books. He has been able to win the Sertoes Rally editions consistently since his debut. His vehicle driving skills and experience are very distinctive and admirable. When he is behind the wheels, the Brazilian rally enthusiasts always look forward to him conquering the rough terrains.
Achievements and Awards
Having participated in the Sertoes Rally for over ten seasons and managed to register consistent victories, Michel Terpins is a decorated Brazilian rally legend. Today, no one is surprised that Michel is making it with the T-Rex. Alongside Maykel Justo, his navigator, the pair forms a formidable driving force. In 2008, the duo established a new record at the 25th edition of the Sertoes Rally Championship.
His contributions and achievements go beyond the tracks. His love for nature made him earn an ambassador's invite entitled the Carbon Free Stamp award. The accolade is to ensure that he participates in the planting of trees in the Atlantic forest. His role as an ambassador is to mobilize and encourage forest conservation among the masses.
Generally, the road to Michel Terpin's rally success is considered impressive. His ability to move from riding motorcycles to conquering cars is seen as brave and admirable by many. Today, Michel continues to inspire a breed of new rally drivers in Brazil and beyond. They all look up to him for direction and motivation.

Marc Sparks has taken on a new endeavor with the Spark Tank. This is a way for new entrepreneurs that have good ideas to compete against other entrepreneurs for a chance to win some prize money to get their business started. I believe that this is a good idea that has allowed Marc Sparks to find talent that has been overlooked by the mainstream.
This is a good idea because there are businesses that just not do as well without the proper backing. The entrepreneurs may have a great idea, but it helps to have someone that can boost their confidence and push them in the right direction.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/9661324.Marc_Sparks
I believe that Sparks has been the guy that has pushed a lot of companies in the right direction because he has the business savvy skills that many others lack. He doesn't believe in the traditional mindset of going to college in order to get a good job. Instead, Marc Sparks believes that people make their own opportunities.
I think that someone like Marc Sparks is a true blessing to the corporate industry. With the Spark Tank he will challenge those that have the ideas that are outside of the box.
As a venture capitalist, Sparks will go that extra step to help those people maximize their potential and build a solid business plan. I think that this is awesome because a lot of business owners that are competing are doing so by building a business that is unconventional. Learn more about Marc Sparks: https://twitter.com/msparks5010
I discovered Marc Sparks when I made the decision to start my own business. I knew that it would be a challenge, and I wanted to get some pointers from someone that had done this before.
I was thrilled to find that Marc Sparks had written books and started a blog. He has been very helpful to entrepreneurs long before he started up the Spark Tank. I believe that his blog has been very helpful for people that are trying to start a business because it lets people know the other side of the game. Learn more about Marc Sparks: https://about.me/marc_sparks
As an entrepreneur it is often difficult to see what will be needed to make venture capitalists buy into an idea. I think that a lot of businesses fail because of this. Luckily, Marc Sparks has made it possible to peek into the world of the venture capitalists because he is one. He made it possible to see what these venture capitalists expect when they see a presentation.

Original Jolly Fisherman painting to feature on BBC TV
The original Jolly Fisherman painting is to feature in a BBC television programme about Britain's hidden paintings.
The programme will feature the picture which hangs in Skegness Town Hall as part of a look at travel posters.
It was commissioned by the Great Northern Railway to encourage visitors to take the train on their seaside breaks to Skegness.
The travel poster features the slogan "Skegness is so bracing".
Three shilling excursion
The poster, commissioned in 1908 for 12 guineas, became synonymous with the Lincolnshire coastal town.
It was first seen that year by tourists who travelled from Kings Cross on a special three shilling excursion.
The commissioned artist was John Hassall - the son of a naval officer from Kent.
During a visit to Skegness in 1936 he is reputed to have said that it was "even more bracing and attractive than I had been led to expect".
In Hidden Paintings of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, Linda Barker visits the Mayor's Parlour in Skegness Town Hall to see the painting and find out about its history.
The programme is being shown on BBC One on Sunday at 2225 BST.

My HG blush. Go to it every time I need to look refreshed. Its a wonderful ripe watermelon color that goes on like a dream. I use her blush brush and it blends well. If in a hurry, I'll use my finger to dab and run, but it always looks natural on my fair rosacea tormented skin. It doesn't have a red base to it so I don't look redder than I already am.....a blessing really. Lasts all day and a pot lasts a while. Been wearing it for years. Probably not for the oily, combo type ladies.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
Stays on all day. Rarely needs touch-up reapplication. Perfect color. Glowing hue that looks completely natural. Much, much more natural than any powder blush.

I am new to cream blush, so I am having trouble using my fingers to apply it exactly where I want it. However, that should change with practice. I love the color though! It is a VERY natural peachy tone that complements my pale and reddish complexion. I also love how creamy and blendable it is.

This cream blush screams QUALITY! A very pretty warm peachy-pink tone and provides a beautiful, natural glow. I love its smooth and creamy yet non-sticky consistency. It blends beautifully and has great staying power too. I can't rave enough about this stuff and definitely intend on trying more PD cream blushes in other shades.

WONDERFUL! i have fallen in love with cream blushes and stains! they give you a more natural look! i went in to a Sephora store after work to replace my foundation and i was looking tired because these days i barely haved time to put on my makeup in the morning. after i picked up my foundation i couldn't help but look at the blush line. i tried on TEMPO and i fell in love with it! there were no streaks, there was no stickiness (my cheek stains are sticky when i first put them on), just beautiful color. sadly, they were all out of that color. i haven't had time to return to the mall yet, but as soon as i do i will get that and perhaps another color too =O)

This is a beautiful color, a sheer peachy rose that adds a pretty and subtle summery flush to my LLL complexion. I love the texture of Paula Dorf's cream blushes, they go on creamy, blend like a dream, and dry down to a natural, translucent finish. They last all day on my dry skin.

Released in 2005. This is a great cream blush! Usual paula dorf quality and lasting power. This cream blush is less creamy/oily than Stila CC's or BB pot rouge. however this particular color is more creamy than my other PD cream cheek colors.
Color is a peachy pink that would look great on many for spring. The color is very buildable and I'm able to use it on both lips and cheeks. I apply this w/ the PD cream blush brush.
For reference, my coloring is nc25/stila c

For a simple activity that has sustained humans for thousands of years, we've kind of lost the plot on using smoke to make food taste better or last longer. I blame it on the rise of barbecue competitions where a half-dozen uniformed adults hover over a burning barrel as if they're transplanting a liver. Coupled with the notion that $1,500 is an appropriate sum to pay for said barrel, it's conspired to give ordinary grill jockeys the impression that smokin' barbecue is an art and science far beyond their abilities.
To me, however, cooking is not a competition, it's a means to a very simple end—eating dinner. (Which, incidentally, is why I disdain TV's Chopped and its kooky equivalents.) Moreover, I'm a person who believes that my $30 garage-sale Weber kettle can produce foods every bit as toothsome as that green Fabergé egg of theirs.
Step 1 is coming to grips with how easy it is to add wood smoke to your grilling repertoire, whether you use gas, propane or charcoal. To replicate the smoky, low-and-slow performance of Gucci grills, here's the drill at its simplest. Soak commercially available wood chips in water, wrap in perforated foil, and throw over the heat source on one half of your very clean barbecue while the other half, the cooking side, remains unlit. Then place a large pan of water on the grate (or if you need the headroom in a gas barbecue, remove the grate and let the pan rest on the unlit heat diffusers). Lay an easy-to-clean stainless steel rack over your pan and place your brined or dry-rubbed meat on it, then target 130 C. Voilà, now you're faking it Memphis-style, with the essential components of indirect heat, smoke, humidity and drip collection all covered. Is it optimal, or as good as the best equipment? Who cares? Krog the Neanderthal would hang strips of mastodon over an ordinary campfire, and that worked just fine.
It's far better to focus your efforts on creating a flavourful rub or brine, plus barbecue sauce, to accompany the two dishes that will likely inaugurate your smoke experiments—pulled pork or ribs. It's also important to establish ideal cooking times in your particular set-up. With ribs, for instance, many Q champs reckon that two hours of smoking is enough, after which they advise you to wrap each rack in heavy foil with a tablespoon of flavoured moisture. You can then do the final 90 minutes in an ordinary oven if you like. As for pulled pork, depending on the size of your shoulder, it might stay on for eight to 12 hours or more. And remember that it is possible to oversmoke. Pork can take a lot more than chicken, for example, but it can still get bitter from too much.
The described process is known as hot-smoking. Cold-smoking is when the heat in the chamber doesn't exceed body temperature, which is obviously not terribly feasible on warm days. Cold-smoking is ideal for brined trout or salmon, but can also lend flavour to nuts, cheese or beef jerky. For this process I use an old-fashioned sportsman's smoker, the Luhr-Jensen Little Chief, which is basically a set of racks sitting in an aluminum box over an electric hot plate, upon which you place a pan filled with wood chips. Again, you can fake this by sticking a thrift-shop electric frying pan into whatever outdoor cooking box you have.
A brief word on smoke producers: first, avoid resinous softwoods. Second, you've got a fine palate if you can truly taste the difference between, say, hickory, alder, maple or cherry. Cheapskates like me pull dead branches off crab apple trees and just lay them over the heat source.
And now, my favourite smoking discovery followed by my favourite way to use it: Stem and halve jalapenos, smoke for 16 to 24 hours, then dry until brittle in a low oven. Congratulations, you just made chipotles. Who knew it was that easy?

The latest winery I visited has been Muga, an impressive bodega in the heart of Rioja. This family owned business is located in the barrio de la Estación (the train station district), where most of the wineries of Haro, the wine capital of Rioja, can be found. The reason for such a density of wineries is that this neighborhood was build when the phylloxera plague just started in Europe. Many of the vineyards in France, and later in Spain, were destroyed by the insects causing the plague and therefore these areas imported the grapes and wine of Haro, which were transported by train.
The visit of Bodega Muga started outside. The winery has no vineyard close to the winery, but there are some vines planted in order to explain the grape cultivation process. The harves, mainly done manually during the month of October, is explained by using pictures.
When entering the various elaboration rooms of the winery, it becomes clear that Muga mainly focuses on red wine. There are thousands of wine barrels, mostly of the standard 225 L size, but also some huge barrels of a few thousand liters. In order to store all these barrels, there are several rooms constructed especially for the wine aging process. Some of the employees are solely working with the barrels, checking and moving the wine from one barrel to another.
The highlight of the visitis definitely the "Toneleria": the work place where wine barrels are being made. As far as I know, Muga is one of the few wineries that has its own toneleria. Almost every winery has wine barrels for the aging of the wine, so for wine tourists this won't be anything special, but to see how those wine barrels are actualy made is a great experience. We visited Muga during the afternoon, when nobody is working in the toneleria. Therefore I would recommend to visit the winery during the morning.
After the visit we tasted 2 wines, both delicious! We received a bag with the logo of Muga on it, so we could take our wine glass home. Of course there is time to buy a bottle of wine in the shop after the visit.
Congratulations to our guide Carmen, who explained everything clearly and with a lot of passion!

I remember as a kid on open house day, when I used to go with my mum to collect my report card, parents chastising their kids for losing marks in Maths or social sciences. The girl would invariably walk with her head low, ashamed that was unable to match up to her parents expectations.
It saddens my heart when parents are hard on their children for small mistakes. Mistakes after all are human and above all they are a proof of the effort that has been put in. It is necessary that we learn from our mistakes and never repeat them, but allowing ourselves to be defined by our mistakes is absolutely wrong.
Some of the best inventions were made through mistakes, Edison tried innumerable times before he finally got the bulb right. He saw his mistakes as stepping stones rather than a burden. We should do that too.
Some food for thought.
