What is going on with the Portsmouth Police Department?
It is no wonder that Capt. Fred Hoysradt felt he could commit an assault and get away with it. After all, just recently another ranking officer, Rodney McQuate, got away with a similar assault. Of course, his assault was on a subordinate who was probably too afraid to complain.
Is Chief Michael Magnant so obsessed with fighting his union on such trivial things as a union pin, and other foolish things, that he has lost sight of the fact his ranking officers feel they can commit alleged sexual assault at will, with no consequences?
For the last couple years, I have followed his leadership, or lack thereof, in the Portsmouth Herald and am appalled that two of his ranking officers, both promoted and hand picked by the chief himself, have committed such assaults. If these are the crimes we know about, what is going on that has not come to light yet, or is being covered up by the chief?
Perhaps if he extended the same loyalty to the street officers that he seems to give to his hand-picked ranking officers, there would be less discord with the union. Of course, the downside to that loyalty would be more cover-ups about other crimes.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again: I pray to God that my daughter is never assaulted within the Portsmouth city limits, as the upper management appears to trivialize such assaults. If the police department was a private business, the CEO (chief) would have been fired some time ago.

Seventy years ago in the film "Jesse James," one of the characters said: "If we are ever to have law and order out here in the West, the fust thing we got to do is take out all the lawyers and shoot them down like dogs!"
I recommend a somewhat similar (but less harsh) fate for all the executives at FairPoint Communications for rotten, dragging-their-feet performance of duty. Ten days delay in issuing timely monthly bills to customers because they have a new computer system. Rot and balderdash! Don't blame the computers. People manage computer systems and they get paid a pretty penny for doing so.
Ninety minutes for a 79-year-old customer whose bills are paid promptly (when they are properly tended) to get through to a customer service agent! Verizon sure knew what they were doing when they dropped the northern tier and released it into the bumbling, ineffective, wholly inadequate FairPoint chieftains. Rest in peace, Alexander Graham Bell.

I recently had a discussion with an individual who stated that Hitler was not responsible for what happened to Germany, but that the people brought the disaster on themselves because they were looking for a savior. It is with this conversation in mind and with the remarks of Mr. Drake's letter of Feb. 18, condemning Republicans for not going along with the stimulus plan, that I write.
Mr. Drake, to you and other liberals I say: Facts are difficult things, they conspire to bring out the truth. An example of this is the statement of the Congressional Budget Office that doing nothing was more beneficial to the economy than passing the stimulus bill, for which you are such a cheerleader.
Perhaps the CBO did not get the word that the new savior has descended, is infallible and sits enthroned in the inner sanctum of the Oval Office within the white temple on Pennsylvania Avenue.

After reading the article written by City Councilor Ken Smith, who runs the Parking Committee for Portsmouth, I have the following comments:
The pilot was for one meter vendor when there are many parking meter companies that could have been tested — Digital, POM, Parkeon, Duncan, JJMackay and Metric. The city did not test payment alternatives.
The costs for single-space meters are significantly exaggerated in this article. For example, there is a two-button single space meter selling at $250 per space with new housings. If the city deployed new meters inside their existing housing, the costs would run as low as $125 per space. Therefore, the total replacement cost for new single space meters is $250 per space times 630 spaces (with new housings), or $157,500; if they used the existing housings the costs could be as low as $78,750.
Most cities purchase park-and-display meters to run major rate increase programs in certain zones and to move traffic effectively.
In Boston, the city purchased 9,500 single space meters from JJMacKay in Canada. In Fort Lauderdale, the city awarded a new contract to POM for 3,000 new single-space meters. Pittsburgh has an RFP in process for 3,000 new single space meters and so on.
The city will pay at least 15 to 18 cents per transaction on credit and debit, if not more. On an average transaction of $1 or less, that is 15 to 18 percent of the revenues. Therefore, 15 to 18 percent of the local parking revenues will not go to pay local taxes but instead will end up at national banks that issue the cards.
The city may have read about other payment alternatives, or hired a consultant to make recommendations on parking payment options, but they did not get one metric from any alternative payment vendor during the entire pilot process. My company has been through this type of process in the past and has won contracts in three different states. We have increased revenues in each city or town by at least 35 percent per transaction, while cutting the cost of debit and credit settlement in half. Our cards work in both P&D machines and single space meters too.
However, in Portsmouth we were never given the opportunity to take the risk of proving our product and its merits. In most cities and towns these types of decisions are made by the local citizens who actually get the opportunity to use alternative payment products versus reading the results of an online survey unknown to almost all of us.
I believe your process in Portsmouth for making major capital decisions is unfair and unreasonable. It is also outside the scope of industry standard practices. As the president and CEO of a local New Hampshire firm involved in these types of decisions nationally, I thought it appropriate to have the public read of a different perspective on this matter.

Relative to the Hampton selectmen's race, we must elect two candidates this year from a field of five. I write in support of a candidate with exceptional qualifications and experience, Jack Lessard.
Having lived in Hampton for most of his life, Lessard certainly knows our town and its people. He is a Navy veteran and a former town business owner. Jack has served on many of our town boards over the years, including previous boards of selectmen. Lessard has a diverse, detailed and broad knowledge of our town's problems, fiscal constraints and needs. He is well known for his love of Hampton and his concern for our community through his charities involvement, especially with hospitalized children and seniors.
Please join me in voting for Jack Lessard for selectman on March 10. Jack would be the strong voice of knowledge, experience and concern so urgently needed now for Hampton and our taxpayers.

Gov. John Lynch will attend the Hampton Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner meeting on Thursday night, March 5, so that is the prime opportunity to ask if the Hampton Beach revitalization is earmarked for funding from the state of New Hampshire's portion of the federal stimulus package.
He did not allocate any funds in his current budget for the project that was hoped to begin in 2010. Would this project not only replace the crumbling beach amenities, bring new jobs both in construction and services provided to the tourists and add tax revenue? Seems like a win-win situation to me. Someone needs to ask Gov. Lynch at this opportune time.

In light of the recent major storms this area has experienced, I wanted to take a moment and commend a company that has had its share of challenging press over the last few months. As the executive director of United Way of the Greater Seacoast, I work with many of the corporations that are committed to the health and well being of the community. Unitil is such a corporation, continually demonstrating good corporate citizenship and community development.
Unitil enthusiastically supports United Way and its goals through its time, talents and treasures. This includes participation on the United Way board, committees and Day of Caring; hosting United Way events; and corporate and employee donations to the Community Fund.
In addition, many Unitil employees volunteer for local agencies that are important to them, including leadership positions with agencies tackling the region's significant issues of poverty and work-force housing. It is no surprise to me that the employees of Unitil worked tirelessly 16 hours a day during the ice storm to help restore their customers' power. It's part of the company's culture of active participation to create stronger communities where people and businesses choose to locate, to grow and to prosper.

Pack some relaxation music, meditation tapes or stress discount CD's to make use of on the plane. They are going to enable you chill out extra and ease tension and stress which may exacerbate pain. Do attempt them out before hand so you already know the effect they have on you. London featured prominently in my posts this yr. Especially with a new series of posts referred to as Stroll the.. I wanted to see London from a different perspective, so what better approach than walking it! The three featured so far soak up primarily the central district, although the South Financial institution stroll did head down to Greenwich. No better option to see the city in my opinion. Hyperlinks beneath.
When individuals hear the word Bohol, they instantly think of the Chocolate Hills and tarsiers. However Bohol provides greater than that. The Chocolate Hills and the tarsiers can really be found in Tagbilaran, Bohol. If you would like a seashore and stress-free surroundings, Panglao Island could also be a greater destination for you. Alona Seashore might be the most well-liked vacation spot right here, providing white sand and clear waters to visitors. There are additionally numerous resorts already working right here for tourists to get pleasure from a soothing trip. Nevertheless, if you'd like a peaceable and serene trip here, it is best to visit earlier than or after summer time. The island tends to get too crowded during the summer time because the influx of tourists is great.
A 24 hour seashore facet espresso store (Vani Coffee Shop) with free WiFi, adjacent to Maaniya Restaurant on one facet, the reception on the other and the swimming pool on the third aspect accompanied by the Predominant bar (Meekanu Bar), ensures that majority of the guests are round these activity hubs throughout the day, giving the whole place a optimistic vibe.

Many who use mail forwarding companies travel for long intervals of time and wouldn't have (or want) different folks to have access to their mail. Full Time RVers love them as a result of they will journey from place to position each time they like and at all times be capable to access their mail simply.
Do ask for help; don't attempt to struggle with putting luggage within the overhead bins and many others. Auto insurance policies generally cover travel models, however not all do, so ask before you buy. Surrounded by associates, love, and mom nature's bounty on the Pantai Nipah Peninsula. SGBrown: I've done it each methods and know that it takes a particular mind set to be able to reside full time in an RV. I loved it throughout the years that I did it, however I used to be a lot youthful then and thus more flexible. Thanks for stopping by and commenting…nice to see you once more!

Meeting Ginsberg at the Portrait Museum
Mark A. Roberts
Ah, here I am
leftover wine
thinking of dead Ginsberg
how his last word, before he dropped the flesh and went bust, was full of Allen Ginsberg lust:
If I come, we'll have to have an orgy, and if that happens the girls will be lonely!
The question?
We asked ole Allen, our poetic guide, to lead us
deluded suburban angels through the levels
of our spectacular amerikan hell—
To the may-be poets sprawled
in picturesque pose, miming whole albums
of beat black & whites
on the rising steps of the portrait museum,
his profane blessing sounded sacred,
blended with the homeless man's unexpected operatic aria
echoing like Pollack's paint against the walls of state—
Ginsberg floated, ghostly, lips and skin awash
in street lamps, yellow and buzzing,
his face like a child, or a sunflower
tilting toward the language of wanna-be Dantes.
Our voices waver in the air and Ginsberg's leaving
nothing but a trace of his nasal lullaby:
ah, la, la, la, ah . . .
poetic angelic fading

And now for the next inspiration, the Phantom of the Opera! A classic musical that I'm sure everyone's heard of, all involving a certain man with a certain mask.
This was a fun pair, though difficult to start with at first. These shoes have been painted over with a very flexible black fabric acrylic paint, so the texture is different from most fabric shoes. Additionally, the texture of the figures and the texture of the black paint are one and the same, so there are no tactile differences.
I had never done text before, but it was very awarding when the brush met the shoe. A liner brush works true wonders in these kinds of situations, and I now love my new paintbrush after its stellar performance. Also did a bit of blending technique here to transition between the blue and white elements of the text.
Overall a fun piece, and an refresher from my usual anime / video game inspired works.

Heading to the Force Hax website now brings up a message from the developers that states: "After discussions with Take-Two Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development and distribution of the Force Hax cheat menu services". The creators of other modding tools, such as "Menyoo" and "Force Hax, " have received similar letters, however these modding tools were being used specifically to influence Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer mode. As a result, people would often look for more ways to make the game interesting, and the most popular feature that gamers found was being able to create mods, especially for "GTA V".
"So, we chose to agree with their claims and we're stopping distribution of OpenIV".
Rockstar defended the decision, saying OpenIV enabled "malicious mods" in GTA Online.
As can be expected, Take-Two's move has angered numerous game's fanbase with some even swearing to never buy a game from the publisher ever again.
Wife of alleged Virginia shooter: 'I can't believe he did this'
Bailey was spotted Friday in the Capitol, on crutches and out of uniform, accepting congratulations from fellow officers. James told her that he was going to Washington , D.C.to "work on taxes" and "change the tax brackets", she said.
Escaped Georgia Inmates Captured
Law enforcement officials said Dubose and Rowe performed a home invasion of an elderly couple in Bedford County around 2 p.m. Authorities later spotted the stolen vehicle on Interstate 24 and tried to stop them near the Epps Mill Road exit.
How to Make $80000 per Month on the Apple App Store
The principal concern that Lin is raising relates to the approval process which Apple users before Apps make it into the store. It's baffling that Apple approved apps like this in the first place - perhaps it's a side effect of faster app review times.
We've requested comment from Take-Two about this controversy and will update as we hear more. People have been using it for around a decade - at this point it's a cornerstone of the modding scene.
They also claim they are working on this issue so that they can "support the creative community" without hurting other players.
Will there actually be fewer cheaters in GTA Online now?And for quite some time both Rockstar and Take-Two the game's publisher excepted and embraced this.
Take-Two sent a cease-and-desist letter to the developers behind the OpenIV modding tool. At the time of writing, only 13% of the 39,936 reviews offered in the last 30 days have been positive. A Change.org petition calling for Take-Two to reverse course on OpenIV has attracted more than 50,000 signatures so far. The fans anger has even started to affect the game's ranking on Steam with negative reviews flooding the Grand Theft Auto V's Steam page.

3 Williamsville Shutters Myths Exposed
There are so many myths about using shutters in Williamsville in your home. They can be absolutely beautiful options, but many people avoid them because of the myths. Interior shutters help to add to décor, while offering a range of other lighting benefits.
It's time to expose the myths. These three myths you need to stop believing, as they prevent you from using shutters for absolutely no reason.
They're Only for Southern Homes
Plantation shutters are extremely popular, but there's this belief that they're only for homes in the South. This certainly isn't the case.
While plantation shutters were traditionally used for southern homes, more and more northern locations are taking advantage of them. They just take their name from the style of homes they were traditionally hung on. However, shutters were also traditionally hung outside the home, but they are now popular indoor treatments.
It really doesn't matter where you live. If you want the beautiful Williamsville shutters, get them installed in your home. It's your tastes that really matter.
Shutters Are Just Expensive Blinds
Shutters will cost you more than blinds, but that's because they're far more beneficial. While their duties are very similar, their effectiveness is better. For example, both shutters and blinds will control the levels of light, but shutters have much more control. You can manage the direction of the light rather than block out all light coming into your home.
One of the biggest benefits of shutters in Williamsville is the heating benefits. While blinds can block some heat leaving your home, the benefits aren't on a grand scale. Shutters can actually reduce your heating costs by 30%!
It's also worth remembering the cost benefits over time. While shutters will cost extra money in the beginning, they're designed as permanent fixtures that last at least 20 years. Blinds are designed for about three years, so you'll spend more money replacing them regularly.
You'll also get shutters for different types of windows. Those curved attic windows can be covered beautifully with custom made shutters. You can't get blinds that will do that!
Your Home Will Be Plunged Into Darkness
When you think of shutters, you may initially think of the full wood coverings. While you can certainly get them, there are so many other types of Williamsville shutters to consider. You can buy plantation shutters, café shutters, and so much more. It's important to consider your full needs before buying.
One thing is for certain, your shutters will not plunge your whole home into darkness. You can use the louvers in plantation shutters to control the levels of light coming through the shutters. Café shutters don't actually take up the whole window space, reducing glare at your seated level but allowing light to shine through at the top.
However, many shutters do have the ability to plunge your home into darkness if you want. It's possible to close the louvers completely, blocking all light and adding far more privacy to your home. The shutters will also cover the whole window, blocking all light shining out if you want.
Don't believe everything you're told about shutters in Williamsville. They can be the most beautiful and effective options for each window in your home. When you're looking into your options, determine the facts from the myths to make a fully informed decision into your options.

Jesus: The Ultimate Action Hero
Salty Christians
Mark 9:38-50
Here, John complains that someone outside the "in" group was doing kingdom work.
The truth is that if someone out of mercy helps another be freed from a demon through the power of Jesus, they are not going to turn around and tell people not to believe or trust in Jesus.
You've done your best to serve the Lord, your family, or this community, and nobody seems to appreciate it.
Even as a simple act of kindness has with it great rewards, so too are there great punishments for those who prey on the young ones in the Lord.
Take drastic measures, if need be, to keep yourself from being scandalized in your own relationship with Christ.
Don't worry about the faults of others. Take care of your own faults by humbly admitting your need of Christ and getting help from Him.
That is, speak words of peace and encouragement. Help those young believers find joy in their service for Christ, because they're going to have enough trouble as it is in this life.
We never know what other people are dealing with, and the last thing they need is somebody putting them down.
You see, we truly help people not with harsh words of criticism. No. We help them with words of grace and peace, seasoned with salt.

Five Thoughts 2-6-18 (Thunder 125, Warriors 105)
2. It is also an example of Russ being a badass. It would be cliché to say he started the game on fire, so instead let's just say he was actually melting. He was liquid-Russ. That was insane. He often (almost always) plays with that sort of white-hot intensity; but sometimes it falls flat if everyone else is a degree or twenty cooler. On a night like tonight, when everyone is locked and loaded he is able to completely set a tone. He was a madman in terms of his motor, but he was a cool cat in terms of his decision-making. It helps to hit shots of course, but he was calling his own number at the right time and setting up others for easy looks. He was absolutely sensational. Some teams have defenders that can nag Russ. We know what Beverly does to him. There are others out there that bother him or can coax him into inefficient games. The Warriors don't have anyone like that. He blows right by Curry. Thompson is a great defender, but he can't stay in front of Russ either. What is even better is that the Dubs do not have a rim protector, so when he gets by his man, finishing against them is easy. Unlike last year, they can't just clog the lane because they have to account for PG and Melo. Two games against GS and two nearly perfect performances from Russ.
3. Russ did start to cool down in the second half, but PG13 was there to pick up where he left off. If possible, PG may have been equal to Russ tonight. His efficiency is astounding. In that regard, his a great balance with Russ. PG doesn't need near the volume of shots to rack up his points. He was just killing the Warriors on both ends all night long. KD had a pretty nice game. He got to the line a lot and he shot the ball fairly well. But it didn't feel like he was making a huge impact. PG annoys him enough so that he doesn't just settle into a total comfort zone. He is forced to work harder which sort of just messes up the flow of their entire offense. The Thunder attack was led by a two-headed monster tonight and it begs the question as to whether or not anyone can stop them if the two of them are zoned in like that. It may have even helped tonight that Melo went down. Allowed Russ and PG to go bananas. Won't always be that way as PG and Russ won't always be this hot– the will need Melo to fill in gaps. But tonight, it's possible it was a blessing in disguise.
4. One guy I really want to mention is Jerami Grant. He was absolutely awesome– especially in the first half. He was a big reason the Thunder were able to extend the lead from 10 to 20. He played with incredible confidence. No hesitation at all when attacking the basket. The Thunder pose some issues to the Warriors due to length and athleticism- Grant is a part of that. Their bigs can't really run with him. He has developed into a very good finisher in the paint. He plays bigger than he is; he is under-sized for the power forward position and he isn't a "stretch" guy at all, so in order to impact the game he has to battle with the trees. I've been a little down on him, but lately he's been really, really good. Tonight, he was fantastic. He played the best he's ever played in the playoff series with Houston last year so I have hopes that he can keep this up against the top competition. Abrines also contributed off the bench. And the Adams post up offense? Uh, yes please. I'd like to see more of that.
5. So there you go. I think that was the last nugget I needed to see in order for me to comfortably say I'll be confident come playoffs no matter where we wind up. It is very clear that the Thunder have a very high ceiling. It is very clear that they can beat elite teams and that they can do it beyond just a fluke night. Against the best this year, they've looked better. It is maddening that they don't seem capable of reasonably downshifting, but it ultimately may not matter. Every time has to find a comfortable cruising speed. The Thunder really struggle with that. They are more of a bulldog team and when a bulldog team tries to play a poodle game it doesn't always end well. So when they dial it down a notch or two, they fall farther than other elite teams. But as far as I'm concerned, the four game losing streak is erased. Gone and forgotten. Are the Thunder the team that is 3-0 against the Warriors and Rockets this year or are they the team that has lost to the Lakers, Kings, Nets, Hornets, etc.? The answer is….both. You are who you are. Luckily, they won't have to worry about the Lakers, Kings, Nets, and Hornets in the playoffs. The teams they are likely to face? Yeah, I think we will have their attention. Great night that should provide a real sigh of relief for any fans (like me) that were sort of gripping over their recent play. Will they follow this up by laying a egg against the Lakers Thursday? Maybe, but I'm not sure I really care.

text: One of my absolutely favourite parts of a wedding day to photograph are the congratulations. There are always so many amazing little moments that happen during these ten or fifteen minutes. I love the layering that happens within these images – the bride and groom surrounded by their closest friends and family. The excitement. The love. The utter joy. The tears. I love looking out for these moments as you never know what might happen. One of my amazing second shooters Kyle has taught me so much about capturing these moments. A few of the photos are from him and we have had many discussions about observing and looking out for these emotion moments as they happen. This collage is what weddings to me are all about – love, joy, excitement, family and friends.

We've all experienced this at some point or another: You wake up and look in the mirror, only to notice major dark circles or under-eye bags staring back at you. Not cool.
Everything from genetics to fatigue to skin that's starting to thin as you age can lead to those dreaded signs of aging making their presence known around your eyes. And this somehow always happens on days when you have a job interview or a date, leaving you scrambling to figure out how to mask your under-eye area… without making it look totally obvious that you've packed on the concealer. One of the best things you can do to both prevent future signs of aging around your eyes and lessen the look of what's already there? An eye cream.
What's the deal with eye cream, anyway?
Well, eye creams are specially formulated creams that protect the skin around your eyes and fight back against stuff like dark circles, crow's feet, puffiness, and sagging skin.
But why can't I just use my moisturizer?
The thing is, the skin around your eyes is thinner and way more fragile than the skin on the rest of your face. That's why you need to use a product that's specifically designed for this delicate area and any issues you might be dealing with there.
Slathering on your regular moisturizer right below your eyes could even lead to irritation, especially if your moisturizer contains fragrance (which is known to bother sensitive skin). Eye creams, on the other hand, are almost always mild formulas that quickly sink into skin without leading to any redness or itchiness.
Will eye cream really get rid of my wrinkles or bags, though?
While we hate to be the bearer of bad news, but… While using an eye cream consistently can definitely make your under-eye area look brighter, smoother, and firmer, it's not going to make your dark circles or crow's feet entirely disappear. In other words, don't head to Sephora expecting to purchase a miracle. That being said, brighter, smoother, and firmer is still something!
You're right! I still want to try an eye cream. What should I look for?
There are a few general guidelines that are worth following if you're shopping for an eye cream. Start by familiarizing yourself with a few key ingredients. Some of the best ones for addressing aging around your eyes: Retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. These are three superstars in the skin care world — retinol fights wrinkles, vitamin C brightens and offers antioxidant protection against environmental aggressors, and hyaluronic acid plumps up the skin for major moisture.
Just keep in mind that oftentimes potent ingredients start to go bad once you open the jar — so you may be better off with an eye cream that's dispensed via pump. (Bonus: This is also more hygienic!)
Make sure your eye cream is fragrance-free, since, like we told you before, fragrance can cause irritation. Ouch! And if you're planning on using an eye cream in the morning, it's a good idea to pick one with SPF in it so you get that sun protection. You might want to use a richer, thicker one at night, since your skin repairs itself while you get your snooze on.
Here are a few eye creams to get you started:
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Eye Gel-Cream ($15)
Formulated with hyaluronic acid and olive extract, this lightweight gel eye cream can be used by all skin types for instant and lasting hydration.
Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eyeswirl ($15)
This product combines a gel that minimizes the look of wrinkles and a cream that brightens and smooths the under-eye area in one pump.
First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy A.M. Gel Cream ($31)
With peptides, red algae, and plant extracts, this eye cream has a cooling finish, plus it works to reduce the look of wrinkles and make the skin around your eyes feel firmer.
Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift ($60)
This overnight eye cream is hyaluronic acid-based and is a leave-on mask that can be left on the skin for added benefits. Plus, it the tube has a cooling metal applicator, perfect for helping to reduce puffiness.
ROC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream ($15)
If you're interested in trying retinol, this eye cream boasts that ingredient and can help diminish crow's feet, under-eye bags, and dark circles.

by John Charles
For American fans of action cinema, Hong Kong has produced a wealth of films. But the sheer volume of titles has been daunting. Some guides have attempted to map this terrain, such as Asian Trash Cinema: The Book by Thomas Weisser and Sex and Zen & A Bullet in the Head by Stefan Hammond and Mike Wilkins. Asian Trash Cinema once served a valuable role in initiating the curious to the wonders of Hong Kong cinema; however, Weisser all too frequently (and eagerly) fixated on sex and gore at the expense of providing critical insights. Sex and Zen is still a valuable book with its excellent overviews of genres and filmmakers, but it only scratches the surface.
A new book by John Charles -- The Hong Kong Filmography, 1977-1997 -- helps flesh out our understanding of the breadth and diversity of Hong Kong cinema. While you'll find reviews of the requisite action thrillers, such as The Armour of God, Hard Boiled, and Naked Killer, author Charles also finds room to survey films from a variety of other genres, including comedies, children's features, mysteries, and romantic drama.
Arranged in strict alphabetical order (i.e., there are no chapters or sections), The Hong Kong Filmography provides us with listings on 1,100 films. Each movie listing includes extensive credits and a one- or two-paragraph description/evaluation. It's in these commentary paragraphs that Charles proves his mettle as a reviewer. Many readers will already be familiar with his work from Video Watchdog, where he has been a regular contributor for several years. He's an insightful commentator with an encyclopedic knowledge of Hong Kong cinema. He's not afraid to point out weaknesses in highly-regarded movies. For example, he argues that Tsui Hark's famous Once Upon a Time in China series peaked rather early -- at Part 2 -- and subsequently began to suffer from "slackpacing," "uninspired" storylines, and an over-reliance upon "lion dance competitions."
Charles assigns a rating to each movie on a scale of 1 to 10. Whereas some guides are filled with movies bunched at the top end of the scale, Charles places most movies in the middle. Very few get his highest rating of 10/10 (e.g., John Woo's The Killer and Ronny Yu's The Bride with White Hair). Charles definitely doesn't dilute the meaning of his highest rating by handing it out indiscriminately. You can bet that any movie rated 8/10 or higher will knock your socks off.
I wish Charles had appended some introductory material to help the uninitiated get a better sense of the history of Hong Kong cinema. As a result, the book can't really stand by itself. You'll still need another book to give you background info, such as Miles Wood's Cine East or Frederic Dannen and Barry Long's Hong Kong Babylon. But to be fair, the book isn't designed to stand by itself. It's meant as a comprehensive filmography of (as the book's cover tells us) 1,100 films released from 1977 to 1997, and surveying all those films was a daunting task in its own right.
If it didn't carry such an impressive price tag -- $75 -- The Hong Kong Filmography would be a required purchase for all Hong Kong cinema fans. But many fans will no doubt find that price hard to justify, particularly for a text-only book (i.e., the book contains no photos). If you can spare that much cash, however, you won't regret buying this book. This is the best book of its kind to ever be released in America.
The Hong Kong Filmography, 1977-1997 by John Charles is now available from McFarland & Company. Illustrated case binding. Suggested list price: $75. For more information, please check out the McFarland Web site: www.mcfarlandpub.com.

Advanced Directives are written documents serving as a guide to future health care. Knowledge of working with these documents increases our marketability to hospitals, long-term care institutions and probate attorneys.
Assignment Tracking
Wanda Moore gave an excellent "overview" of tracking your Notary assignments. Assignment tracking of your appointments is an integral part of operating a business.
E-Loan and E-Notarization
Fred Harris presented information on e-loans and e-notarization.
Our Guest Speaker
Join me in "thanking" Mike Tracy for taking the time to speak with us about bonding insurance and how it affects us as Notaries. He did a great job and touched on many areas of interest to us. Please take the time to send me an "e-mail" (subject, "Mike Tracy") thanking him by Friday, November 19, 2004. You may want to include in your e-mail the areas he touched upon that were of interest to you. I will print the e-mails and send it to him as a package. E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The FAA wants to start turning off VORs in 2007 in anticipation of a fully functioning satellite-based navigation system using GPS. Responding to the FAA's draft report on the transition to a GPS-only system, AOPA told the FAA that the transition timeline was too aggressive, that there aren't adequate back-ups in the event of a system failure, and that the satellite-based system does not currently provide enough benefits over the existing ground-based system of VORs.
"A transition from one navigation system to another takes considerable time," said AOPA Director of Advanced Technology Randy Kenagy. "There have to be substantial benefits to pilots in place before they'll accept the transition, and AOPA has yet to see those benefits emerge."
AOPA said the replacement service needs to demonstrate significantly improved capabilities over the current system, including GPS-based precision approaches to every runway at every public-use airport in the United States, and GPS transition routes through Class B and special-use airspace. The FAA's timetable is based on a presumption that the new capabilities will become available on time and as expected. AOPA is not confident that presumption is correct.
AOPA is also concerned that the FAA plans to begin decommissioning 450 VORs, slightly less than half of the 1,033 now operating, without an adequately developed back-up plan for a failure of or interference with the GPS system. The FAA is researching loran as a possible fallback system but appears to be going forward with an aggressive transition timeline even before that research is complete.
In its comments, AOPA also pointed out that until all the pieces of a satellite navigation system are in place and functioning reliably, general aviation aircraft owners are unlikely to make what may be a high-cost, high-risk investment in new avionics.
"We strongly object to any decision to decommission ground-based navaids as discussed in the transition strategy," said Kenagy. "While some parts of the document are well thought out, some parts are still clearly notional. It is AOPA's position that continued discussion needs to occur before AOPA supports further development or use of this strategy."

Roosting in Peace – Bhindawas Bird Sanctuary
No one knew about Bhindawas Bird Sanctuary. Wikipedia did not list it. My colleague mentioned about it during the course of a casual conversation. We googled the place up, found it interesting and off we went on a weekend, packing camera and binoculars. We never imagined getting there would be so arduous.
At the onset, locating the Gurgaon-Jhajjar state highway proved daunting in the complete absence of signage. There was a world of a difference between the map and the terrain. We had to frequently stop and ask for directions until we reached SH15A to Farrukhnagar. We were really annoyed by the time we stopped for breakfast at Rosy Pelican restaurant adjacent to Sultanpur Bird Santuary (see link below). However, hot Aloo Paranthas, cool air and bright sunshine soon restored our flagging spirits.
The haphazardly patch worked road offered a jerky ride. Tractors and motorcycles materialized without warning from side roads and kept us on the edge. Overtaking slow moving trucks on the single lane road also proved difficult. At Jhajjar we had a frustrating time finding the way to Bhindawas. After a lot of asking around and double checking we took the road to Chhuchhakwas and finally reached Bhindawas by midday. We could not locate the sanctuary gate anywhere and went along a desolate bund bordering a canal before getting stuck at a fork on the narrow road. In the end a helpful local guided us to the entrance.
We took the entry tickets and asked for a guide. The forest department could not spare one because there weren't any. The sanctuary covering more than 1000 acres is bordered by a 12 km long motor able road along the embankment. We struck out on own and stopped the car at the first watch tower to look out over an expanse of Kikar at the far away lake. It immediately became apparent that unless we had a telephoto lens, any attempt to capture the birds on camera was futile. Water hyacinth infested large tracts of the lake. We spotted a few deer and Nilgai. A large number of birds flew around, hunted, preened and roosted on tree stumps and islets in the middle of the lake. Through binoculars we saw ducks, pelicans, storks and a variety of other birds we couldn't distinguish. The lake was so vast that birds appeared as black specks to the naked eye.
The sanctuary also had a herbal garden already showing signs of going to seed. We spent some time looking over and identifying different plants and noting their names. From time to time forest department patrol jeeps went by in a trail of dust.
There were hardly any visitors besides us. An old rustic sat on his haunches as we stood watching birds near the edge where the main road skirted the sanctuary. We could see beautiful long legged green birds foraging the shallow waters for fish and insects. To our shock the old man offered to catch these birds and prepare a meal for us. We realized that for the locals, the sanctuary was nothing more than a source of water, food and firewood. They had little sympathy for what it represented and felt no pride. Bhindawas, unlike Bharatpur did not involve participation of the indigenous people nor offered them any kind of employment.
During the onward journey we were so obsessed with locating the sanctuary that we failed to notice the surrounding fields and hamlets. On the way back we stopped beside bright yellow-green mustard fields and paused to watch ponderous camel carts. At Jhajjar we took the NH71 Bypass to Rewari. The national highway though potholed and patch worked was double lane. There was a lot of truck traffic and at some spots the road deteriorated to little more than loose gravel. Once we negotiated the congested Rewari market, we quickly reached NH8 and touched Gurgaon by nightfall.
Despite the minor hurdles, the journey was worth the trouble. Obscurity and lack of rudimentary amenities has cocooned Bhindawas from rampant commercialism and intense tourist traffic as witnessed in Bharatpur. Only hardcore birders and stray visitors like us go there. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise, for the birds, at least.
A kind soul has provided detailed instructions to reach Sultanpur bird sanctuary here:

Safari holidaymaker catches sight of cheetah and cub
A holidaymaker on safari in Kenya got the chance of a lifetime recently by capturing on video a female cheetah getting agitated with her cub.
The ruckus happened at the Kicheche Mara Camp in the Maasai Mara and has become a YouTube hit.
It captures a mother with her very young and excitable cub who insists on playing. While the mother ignores her cub, it continues to leap up and down on her back and her face until she gives in and wrestles it to the ground.
However, in a fit of agitation, the mother kicks her cub three feet into the air, who falls safely down onto the grass. Her actions are a bit of a shock, though, as the mother runs away.
The Daily Mail reported that while cheetahs are the fastest animals on the planet, young cubs rarely survive as they are an easy meal for lions and hyenas, while farmers also hunt them.
A holiday in Kenya can take in such intimate sightings, as well as views of the 'big five': lion, African elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros.

Guna Yala
Imagine standing on the shore of a pristine island and taking in a panoramic view of a tranquil turquoise ocean and several other islands, some even more unspoiled than the one you're on. Visualize the mountains in the distance and taking a carefree walk around the entire island in a mere three minutes. Envision sharing this space with local people with a colorful culture and a lifestyle that will make you appreciate and question yours.
The heavenly strip of Caribbean coast is real. The autonomous islands of Guna Yala are home to the indigenous Guna.
Chances are a Guna will smile proudly as he/she tells you that there's an island for every day of the year. The Guna are kindhearted easygoing people with strong beliefs about life, religion and nature. They believe that the mainland is sacred; hence it is not developed at all. Though the Guna have hundreds of islands at their feet, they choose to inhabit a few of them.
Soak in the sun and savor the moment!

Dune Legacy
Dune Legacy is a Free remake of the classic (perhaps the first?) RTS Dune II. It tries to be similar to the original while adding modern features, such as the ability to select many units at the same time and support for higher display resolutions. It also has three single-player campaigns, multiplayer support, a map editor and some nice scaling that makes the classic 2D graphics look sharp and high-res even on modern displays. You will need the original data-files, but if you have those this could be a really fun and well-made RTS.

Gina's sassy, explosive best friend who is consistently portrayed as Martin's antagonist. Pam was formally born in 1963 .Initially, Pam worked in a boutique on commission. In later episodes, it's revealed that she works at the PR firm where Gina is employed, as Gina's subordinate. Pam and Tommy were occasionally flirtatious with each other in the beginning, and this developed into a romantic relationship for a brief time, during the Season 3. They later broke up near the beginning of Season 4 and remained friends for the rest of the series. During Season One, Cole harbored an unrequited crush on Pam, which she usually responded to by losing her temper with him.

Unlike before, today's marketers have superior access to data, and this data in real has the power to paint a complete picture of the consumers they are targeting. But sadly, data resides in silos, which makes handling it as one big challenge. Data silos prevent marketers from developing a single or cohesive view of their consumers, further limiting a brands' ability to provide consistent, meaningful, and thoughtful customer experiences across all touchpoints.
Further, customers expect effective and consistent buying experience across all channels. And without a clear and integrated customer profile available, your all campaign efforts fall flat, customers opt out, response rates decline, and your overall marketing initiatives fail.
Challenges which Marketers face in Campaign Management
- Channel overload – Starting from classics like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest to the emerging ones like SnapChat and Instagram, there are a wealth of channels available today. Ensuring same customer experience across all social media channels is definitely not easy. You will always be at a risk and struggle to evenly spread your efforts across all of them.
- ROI attribution – Marketers struggle to identify the key metrics they need to measure, and how they should be tracked to show the true ROI of their efforts.
- Disintegrated Automation – Marketing automation technologies have gained significant popularity, but marketers are still unable to use such platforms to their full potential. The main reasons that are keeping them away are the complexities in process integration and trust in old practices.
- Ensuring Personalization – Customer activities take place across several platforms — social, web, mobile, email, e-commerce and CRM; this makes it extremely challenging to understand the context of consumer's interaction with the company, making personalization even difficult.
How does a Data Management Platform help In Campaign Management?
The DMP offers the potential to unify many aspects of campaign planning and audience activation. It also helps in media delivery, tracking, and optimization. Let's take a look at how a DMP can actually help in campaign management.
- Audience Planning and Understandings
DMP being one powerful planning tool, allows you to profile and analyze your target audiences (1st, 2nd or 3rd party audiences) prior to targeting. It provides a compositional analysis by representing key demographic angles, as well as interests, behaviors, and actions your audience is taking online. Basically, DMP provides a 360-degree view of an audience and allows you to answer the – who, where, why and how of the audiences you decide to target.
- Audience Targeting & Stimulation
Audience activation stereotypically falls under three different categories:
- Pro-Active Targeting – Looking to recognize a group of audience based on their demonstrated attributes and behaviors to target them with advertising.
- Suppression Targeting – Looking to recognize a group of audience based on their demonstrated attributes and behaviors to actively exclude them from targeting.
- Dynamic Personalization – Looking to recognize a group of audience based on their demonstrated attributes and behaviors for dynamic personalization.
- Campaign Tracking & Optimization
Monitoring and understanding the overall performance of a campaign is crucial for efficaciously driving its objective and also improving its overall probability. DMP provides directional insight with respect to audiences or behaviors which need to be aggressively targeted, and the ones which should be set as exclusion audiences within the activation channel. DMPs also offer the capability to edit your audiences which help in increasing the overall effectiveness of the campaigns. This means audiences can be created, omitted and corrected in the middle of the campaign. DMP also helps to find look-alike and act-alike audiences who are most likely to take action on your campaigns, this ensures greater reach for your campaigns.
- Post-Campaign Examination
With a DMP, you are able to understand how your campaign has performed, and which audience segment was particularly strong or weak in driving a pre-defined set of KPIs.
DMP generates visions into campaign delivery metrics across multiple devices and platforms. It also tells you exactly which users were exposed to the campaign and who contributed towards the KPI. DMPs also help in producing a holistic profile analysis on the users based on their engagement. It generates valuable reports which provide an overview of the overall campaign performance.
Benefits a DMP Brings For Campaigns
- Learn More About Your Audience – DMP offers audience insights and analytics which are indispensable to learn more about your target audience to understand what really drives them to make purchases.
- Single Customer View (SCV) – Provides an aggregated, consistent, and holistic representation of customer data collaborated from customer's engagement across different touchpoints.
- Content Personalization – Create audience segments and use them to personalize your visitors' overall experience by showing content which is of most interest to them.
- Boost Conversion Rates – Generates insights on your consumer's journey which can improve campaign's click-through rate (CTR) further driving more visitors and boosting conversions.
- Increase the Reach – Analyse the seed audience (the pre-defined customers) and find new potential customers identical to the seed audience in order to increase the reach of the campaign.
Final Thoughts
Digital marketing is an evolving industry and demands a cross-channel approach to connect and engage with customers. Hence, for creating relevant messaging for your audience you need to unleash the hidden potential of your accumulated data which can be made possible with data-driven marketing tools like Data Management Platform.

Prostate health for men is of large importance in one's life, especially considering that 1 in 3 men are at risk of developing prostate problems. It should also be noted that prostate health issues effect middle aged men as well as the elderly and should not be overlooked. There are many supplements that can be considered for men who are worried about their prostate health. Problems encountered may include difficulty in urination, which may be the first signs of a prostate disease. These prostate related illnesses take different forms in different people. Some acquire an enlarged prostate, while others may acquire inflammation. In any case if you feel like your prostate health is in need of some attention, then the best treatment option should be selected for you.Prostate health can be obtained in a natural manner by altering your diet. It has been shown that Brazil nuts, garlic, tuna, eggs, chicken and nutrients from acidic foods such as tomatoes are effective in maintaining prostate health. Increasing vitamin D intake is also recommended and is one of the first things the doctor will tell you to do when receiving medical advice. Fortified foods such as fish liver oil, some fish species (mackarel, sardines, salmon and tuna) are all rich in vitamin D.Come watch and join us at Super Beta Prostate.
Research has shown that regular exercise and weight management is an important natural contributor to good prostate health, furthermore going out in the sun to take part in physical activity is advised as Vitamin D is also formed in skin exposed to sunlight.The above advice may be useful for some men who are worried about their prostate health but for others it might not be the best option as it can be difficult to alter their diet or increase physical activity as their lifestyle may not permit it. There are alternatives, including prostate massagers and all natural supplements which have proven to be effective and some would recommend the supplements as the best form of maintaining prostate health as it is safe and it bypasses the costliness of taking the medical route. The health supplements simply give a boost to the naturally occurring chemical reactions involving multivitamins and minerals, which occur in the body, that support prostate health.

Massage Cane
Anyone engaged in regular exercise will know what a trigger point is. If you don't, palpate whichever body parts were pounded in your last workout. Those tight, tender, knotty sections should explain it.
Trigger points are the result of injury, strains and trauma. They can also be bought on by poor nutrition, muscle imbalances and stress. When muscle fibers, fascia, ligaments or tendons become weakened, overstretched or inflamed, tiny soft tissue tears occur as a result. As the tissue heals, it contracts and becomes twisted and knotted. These knots restrict blood flow, thereby preventing optimal healing. In addition, muscle fibers will often shorten to guard against further injury. The muscle learns to avoid pain and works against it by restricting its range of movement. The points at which this pain and dysfunction occurs are known as trigger points.
The solution to trigger points is effective rehab. The best form is massage, but unless you're a professional athlete, it's expensive and time-consuming. The best cures are the cheapest ones which you can apply yourself when you have the time and opportunity. Self-massage is a difficult undertaking, as anyone who has been injured will attest; it's awkward at the best of times, but a nightmare if the knot is between your shoulder blades.
The brilliance in the Massage Cane lies in the leverage. By pushing on one end, the pressure on the distal node is increased dramatically. This allows one to apply significant pressure to hard to reach areas with ease.

One night my mum asked if I can drink the soup that she is making. As she was stirring the soup, I peered down and saw that it was shark's fin soup. My mum knew that I do not eat shark's fin ever since I was an angst animal protector teenager back then.
Mum: But they are canned, which contain mostly the stock and no real shark's fin.
Me: (Pointing to the strings of shark's fin) There is a shark's fin right there!
Mum: (Stirred the soup) Where?
Me: THERE!! (Pointed to the huge chunk)
Mum: (Pushed down the chunks with her ladle) Where?
Me: It was right there, you pushed it down into the soup!
Mum: I don't see it. So you really don't want it?
Me: No thanks.
As I sat down at dinner, I saw a bowl of shark's fin soup next to my plate of rice. I stared at my mum and my mum gave me the 'What is wrong' kind of expression. My mum is so good at being pretentious.
I did not drink it, whether it is fake or real shark's fin soup. I stopped when I was about 16 years old. Been a good 10 over years so am not breaking my record. Of course the real reason is because sharks are becoming endangered so let's stick to sustainable food source people! To be honest, there is no taste in shark's fin. If you love it so much, you can substitute it with crab meat and use the same stock. Vegans are frowning down on me, I know.
Yes I am a hypocrite, I love animals yet I eat them. I tried being a vegetarian for 2 whole months and unfortunately I failed. I am slowly trying to incorporate more vegetables and fruits and less animal by products. I may fail at being vegan/vegetarian, but I certainly am giving continuous efforts to cut down on meat products. I also tried to take what is enough for me and avoid wastage.
My family used to go vegetarian for a whole day on Saturday. Unfortunately for my father and brother who work at construction, their legs turned jelly very quickly.
I would also like to quickly add that besides shark's fin soup that night, my mum also cooked venison. The venison was bought initially for my mum's Westie due to her skin problems. I guess with venison, the dog still itches like crazy. So my mum cooked it for us to avoid wasting it.
I did not eat the venison either.
Here is the fine difference. I eat lamb but I do not eat venison.
And deer is my spirit animal.
This post is going to offend vegans and vegetarians, I just know it.

Happy Sunday!
If you are an avid follower of my blog, you know what this means.
Swatch Comparison Sunday!
Today I have two purple polishes for you.
Originally when I started this series, my goal was to show cheaper polishes that compared to the more expensive ones. Lately it's becoming harder and harder to do this but I'm really trying my best. I'm also trying very hard to show polishes that are still available and not limited edition.
ANYWAY, here's the two polishes on my nails.
On my index and ring I have A Grape Fit and Tempest is on my middle and pinky.
As you can tell, these polishes aren't too similar. In the bottle they look a bit close in color but on the nail they are two different colors.
Both polishes had good formulas, two coats of each seen here. No top coat.
A Grape Fit is pretty much your average purple. Nothing too special. And I'm kind of disappointed that I bought it.
I really like Tempest though. and at this point, y'all should know I LOVE Sinful Colors. Really a gorgeous purple.
So yup, no dupes here! If I had to choose between the two I'd say go for the Sinful Colors. It's more of a unique purple. Perfect for summer!
Until next time,
