The premise: A crack team of commandos knock off the Bank of Hanoi for one hundred million yen a few days after the Vietnam War is over, and when they can't prove they were under orders to do so, are imprisoned by the U.S. government. They escape, and become soldiers of fortune, outlaws wanted by the government. Led by Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, a master of disguise, the team includes expert mechanic Sgt. Bosco Baracus, otherwise known as B.A. (for "Bad Attitude"), Lt. Templeton Peck, a.k.a. "Faceman," a handsome and smooth-talking hustler, and Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock, a pilot who seems to have a few screws loose. In the first season they are joined by a reporter named Amy Allen, and in the final season by a special effects wiz named "Dishpan" Frankie. In that last season, the team is captured by General Hunt Stockwell and turned into undercover operatives.
Despite all the gunplay, explosions, car chases and general mayhem of the show -- which caused some to label it the most violent series on television in the Eighties -- almost no one got hurt in this tongue-in-cheek action-adventure that ran ran for four seasons on NBC for a total of 90 episodes. It became one of the network's biggest successes, and was NBC's only Top Ten show in its first season. During the second season it finished #4 overall, and was #6 overall in the third season. It spawned a huge amount of spin-off merchandise (see below) and created a cult hero in Mr. T, who wore 35 lbs. of gold chain around his neck and made immortal the line
"I pity the fool!" In 1984, Mr. T won the People's Choice Award for Favorite New Male Star. (That same year the series won Favorite New Show.)
George Peppard, who played Hannibal Smith, was a film star --
The Carpetbaggers, Home From the Hill, How the West Was Won
-- who had already enjoyed success on the small screen with the series
before signing on with

Rocky III
The rights to the series were bought by Fox 2000, and an

The success of 1983's
Blue Thunder
, a movie about a super-helicopter, spawned television series on all three networks: ABC's
Blue Thunder
, NBC's
, and
on CBS. Airwolf was a high-tech attack helicopter that (in the pilot) was stolen by its creator who wanted to sell it to Libya. A secret U.S. organization called The Firm recruited ace pilot and Vietnam vet Stringfellow Hawke to get it back. Hawke retrieved Airwolf -- but refused to hand it over to the government until the U.S. made an effort to locate his brother St. John, an MIA. When The Firm accepted this condition, Hawke agreed to fly Airwolf on occasional special missions. Hawke's contact at The Firm was the mysterious Archangel; his assistant was the middle-aged Dominic Santini, Hawke's old war buddy. Sometimes an agent for The Firm, Marella, also lent a hand. At the start of the second season, a spunky lady pilot named Caitlin O'Shannessy joined the team.
ran for three seasons (56 episodes; it was launched as a mid-season replacement in 1984). When CBS dropped the show, the fledgling USA Network picked it up. Production was moved to Canada, and a fourth season of episodes were filmed on a very low budget and aired in 1987. The cast was completely changed: Dominic was killed off and Stringfellow Hawke was badly injured when one of his helicopters, sabotaged by enemy agents, exploded. Archangel was replaced by Jason Locke and The Firm became The Company. An agent named Mike Rivers used Airwolf to rescue Stringfellow's brother St. John. After that, St. John Hawke took his brother's place as head of the Airwolf team.
Jan-Michael Vincent, who played the reclusive and rebellious Stringfellow Hawke, was born in Colorado in 1944, and raised in California. He made guest appearances in such television series as
Bonanza, Gunsmoke
Police Story
before landing roles in feature films like
The Mechanic
in which he played the protege of assassin Charles Bronson,
Bite the Bullet
(1975) and
(1978). He also had leading roles in
Buster and Billie
(1974) and
White Line Fever
(1975). In the Eighties he starred in the highly acclaimed miniseries
The Winds of War
in 1983 before taking on
After the series was cancelled, Vincent tried to resurrect his film career, with mediocre results. Ernest Borgnine (Dominic Santini) was born in Connecticut in 1917; after graduating from high school he went into the navy for ten years, after which he went to drama school and did stage work for four years. In 1951 he moved to Los Angeles, and a couple of years later had a memorable role in
From Here to Eternity.
In 1955 he won an Academy Award for his performance in
In the '60s he conquered TV with a lead role in the hit comedy
McHale's Navy
. In his 50-plus years in show business, Borgnine has appeared in over 100 films.

TV Guide Review, Robert MacKenzie, 31 March 1984
This CBS series is named after its central character - a helicopter. Airwolf is an experimental machine that flies at supersonic speeds, fires heat-seeking missles, foils radar, and generally does everything but dice carrots. If you saw the movie "Blue Thunder," you get the idea.
....Sometimes I have the opposite reaction to a series than the one intended. The A-Team, which is supposed to be happy, he-man fun, just depresses me. Whereas Airwolf is such a solemn crock that it makes me smile. Our hero, Stringfellow, is a tight-lipped loner who lives in a secluded mountain cabin with its own private lake, where he keeps a collection of priceless impressionist paintings, plays classical cello like a young Casals and communes with eagles. He is rude to women, which fascinates them, of course, and he likes to stand around brooding when he is not bombing the bejabbers out of something.
Jan-Michael Vincent didn't write any of this, so I can't hold him responsible. Vincent has a certain glum magnetism and can carry a scene, though he shares a quality with Steve McQueen: the less he has to say, the better he is. He is quite closemouthed here, and viewers who can follow this Stringfellow character may enjoy his work....
Machinery fans will find happiness with the helicopter, which is quite a snappy piece of gear. It has sleek lines and a raft of technological toys - computerized search devices, video readouts, digital ding-dongs and "awesome firepower." The air maneuvers and battles are often spectacular, though the machine never looks to be moving as fast as they say it is. I guess there aren't any supersonic helicopters.
Borgnine is acting loudly and vigorously, as he always has. You have to admire the man's energy. You have to admire something here.

The character of Gordon Shumway -- otherwise known as ALF (for Alien Life Form) -- was created by Paul Fusco in 1984. When Fusco failed to interest Disney Studios and Muppet-man Jim Henson, he took his idea to NBC's Brandon Tartikoff. NBC agreed to produce the show, and reaped the rewards. A first-season hit, especially among kids,
generated a merchandise bonanza that included a doll, as well as an animated spin-off on NBC's Saturday morning lineup (1987-1990) entitled
ALF Tales
, which chronicled Gordon Shumway's adventures on his home planet of Melmac. NBC even produced an official biography.
The destruction of that planet was the catalyst for ALF's arrival on Earth. He crashes his spaceship into the garage of your typical suburban family. ALF is a wisecracking, inquisitive, accident-prone alien with a number of bad habits, not least of which is his appetite for cats, considered a delicacy on Melmac. And he's not shy about voicing his opinion on various aspects of human society. In spite of all this, he grows on the family who takes him in -- and who sometimes have to go to absurd links to keep his presence a secret. There's the long-suffering and softhearted Willie Tanner, his wife Kate (who never can quite reconcile herself to the presence of the furry, three-foot alien), daughter Lynn and son Brian.
Producer Fusco provided ALF's voice. During the first season, Michu Meszaros, a dwarf, wore an ALF costume for shots in which the alien was seen walking. An animatronic puppet built and operated by Lisa Buckley and Bob Fappiano was used for above-the-waist shots. A total of 102 episodes were aired. In 1996, Warner Brothers produced a made-for-TV movie entitled
Project: ALF.

My Doctor Says He Sees Only Bad Home Births That End In Transport
Somebody is mentioning home birth to a health care professional (EMT, paramedic, firefighter, doctor or nurse, etc.) and their first response is,
This is stated in a very serious tone."All the home birth transfers I see are because something went wrong.... You are really lucky that your home birth was safe."
First, there are a few things I should point out that I recognize.
I recognize that home birth has some risks that may not be present in a hospital. I also recognize that hospital birth has some risks that may not be present in a home birth.
I believe that care providers vary a lot in their skill, intelligence, ability and ethics. This applies not just to obstetric doctors but also to home birth midwives. I try to choose mine carefully.
I recognize that sometimes, for the safety of mom and/or baby, a home birth must be moved and become a hospital birth. This can be for very minor things to very serious, life threatening things. When done at the right time, it is not a failure, just a change of plans.
I also have a deep appreciation for the fact that all of my children's births have been safe, from my hospital birth to my accidental unassisted home birth. I am blessed, and I am deeply grateful.
Now that I have that out of the way, I just need to point out the obvious.
If you work in a hospital or in emergency transport, the only home births that you will ever see are the ones in which something went wrong.
The other ones, where nothing goes wrong, STAY AT HOME.
OK, now I am done. Carry on.
(Robbie Davis-Floyd mentions that the home birth transport rate averages around 12%. You may want to find your own midwife's transport rate and lots of other info about her. I highly recommend researching your midwife and have some tips here.)

MEDIA CONTACT: Mark E. Brady, Chief Spokesperson, 240-508-7930
Firefighters battled a house fire and were fortunate to have escaped without any injuries after a "backdraft" occurred. At about 8:45 PM, Sunday, November 29, 2009, firefighter/Medics from the Glenn Dale and Landover areas were alerted to a house fire with a report of three occupants possibly trapped inside. Firefighters arrived at 2304 Prima Way and encountered a large 2-story, sprinklered, single-family home with fire showing from the garage. Firefighters initiated a simultaneous interior attack on the fire and searched for trapped occupants. The fire was quickly extending towards the second floor and attic area as firefighters continued their efforts to extinguish the fire. Search teams and ventilation crews opened windows to allow for better visibility and heat removal while the search for occupants continued. After operating on the scene for about 8 minutes an explosion occurred that the incident commander, Tony Kelleher, Volunteer Chief of the Kentland Fire/EMS Station, described as a "backdraft."
A backdraft occurs when an oxygen-starved fire suddenly receives oxygen. The sudden rush of oxygen causes all of the super-heated gases to ignite at the same time, which causes an explosion. Firefighters standing at the front door of the house were blown 15-20 feet into the front yard, firefighters performing exterior ventilation reported their helmets being blown off, windows were blown out and Volunteer Chief Kelleher described a "fire-ball" that blew out of the attic area on the opposite side of where the fire had originated.
Not immediately knowing the status of all firefighters, Incident Command requested additional resources to the scene and ordered the evacuation of all personnel from the house. Paramedics tended to two firefighters that were blown into the front yard and a personnel accountability check was performed with all personnel being accounted for.
The fire was extinguished in about 30 minutes and all searches were negative. There were about 60 personnel that were dispatched to the fire.
A family of three normally resides at the house. An adult female and her young son were out of town and an adult male was not at home. The fire appears to have originated in the area of the garage with the cause being under investigation. A preliminary fire loss is estimated at $250,000. A backdraft often results in serious and fatal injuries, miraculously, no injuries were reported at this incident.
This house is located in the Country Club Estates sub-division of Woodmore. Relatively new homes that are fully sprinklered, by law, in all living areas. The garage and attic are not sprinklered and are the only areas of the home that sustained significant fire damage.

- They can be invisible. Many of the hearing aids we work with are so small they can't be seen by others. These hearing aids sit discreetly and comfortably inside the ear canal and out of sight.
- They are intelligent. Hearing aids can automatically adjust to all kinds of soundscapes and they can separate speech and noise. Recent research suggests that advanced features such as adaptive directional microphones and noise reduction technology reduces mental fatigue and boosts our mental energy levels.
- They integrate with consumer technology. Hearing aids can sync with smartphones, TVs, home entertainment systems and other electronics. Wireless digital hearing aids are now the norm and this means seamless connectivity.
- They can be waterproof. You can enjoy any sport (including water sport) and even sweat while wearing hearing aids. Some hearing aids can even be continually immersed in water. Enjoy swimming, skiing, sailing with no compromise to your hearing.
- They can be trialled free-of-charge. At Alpha Hearing, we allow you
to take your hearing aids home, observe the benefits for yourself and
make sure you are comfortable with the sound, look and feel of your
chosen devices. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Hearing Aids
Hearing aids are miniaturised advanced digital devices designed to enhance hearing ability and clarity of speech. There are many different types of hearing aids, designed for a wide variety of needs and preferences. Entry level devices are the least featured. Advanced and premium models add greater complexity and technology.
Hearing aids can either be worn in the ear (custom) or behind the ear.
Each style has its unique advantages. In selecting a style of device, your audiology and type of hearing loss are the primary considerations. It is also important you are comfortable with the cosmetics of the device and the way it looks in/on your ear.
Inside the body of the hearing aid, the technology relates to how the device modifies speech and sound to enable you to hear it more clearly. The level of technology determines the performance characteristics of the hearing aid. Technology is the main factor influencing the cost of the device.
The best way to tell if you really need hearing aids is to get your hearing checked by an audiologist. In consultation with your audiologist, a suitable style and technology can be clearly recommended.

Free FireBook - 2008 | Berkley Prime Crime mass market edition.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
The seventh book in CJ Box's Joe Pickett series, Free Fire is my favorite. As always, Box brings the West's wild beauty to life while reeling off a story that won't let you go once you are hooked. Intrigue and the setting in Yellowstone along with characters that you can believe and believe in are treat. Read the whole series!
Although recently fired, Joe Pickett finds himself investigating a multiple murder incident in Yellowstone Park, at the Wyoming governor's request. As usual, Box's visual descriptions take the reader right into the landscape and atmosphere, and this particular national park which feels so close to the turmoils of the earth's core. The majestic, cavernous Yellowstone Lodge is a labyrinth of secrets as well.

Yellowstone National Park descriptions & info make this worth reading even if you haven't read all the 'Joe Pickett, Wyoming Game Warden' series. The gore does get a bit specific so not for advanced-reader children.
I just love these books. C.J. Box writes with authority and with such interesting content. I listen to the audio books, which to me just adds to the enjoyment of these books.
Free Fire is one of Box's best. Well researched and informative along with a great story line; what more can you ask for in a great novel. More C. J. Box, please!

The length and width of my teardrop is bigger than a standard sheet of plywood, so I needed to connect a few pieces together. I chose to use a biscuit jointer, and then use fiberglass and epoxy to strengthen the joint. In this image, I'm using a flush trim router bit to cut the plywood to the exact size of the trailer.
Before I routed the plywood down, I attached it to the trailer frame using stainless steel carriage bolts, washers, nuts, and zinc torque washers. The torque washer has mini pins that gouge into the wood, preventing the carriage bolt from spinning, thereby getting a tighter turn on the lock nut.
I tried to find stainless torque washers without success. So, I painted mine with primer. These will never be exposed to weather, so probably a worthless step, but I did it anyway.
Here is the fill sized primary deck, sanded down on the joint. I saved a few bucks by getting UV coated birch plywood, but I had to sand this outer coating off so that the epoxy would have something to stick to. If I had to do it again, I would have payed the couple extra dollars for the normal birch plywood. You can see the attachment carriage bolts surrounding the frame.
This is going to be a raised deck, with the electrical and ventilation running underneath a secondary deck. I'm using 1x2" poplar boards in between the 2 decks. Here are the outside edges clamped temporarily into place.
Fiberglass cloth taped down and ready for Epoxy
After the epoxy is applied, the fiberglass cloth becomes transparent. Once this dries, I will flip the board over and repeat on the other side. This should create a very strong joint, using a combination of Biscuits and fiberglass to hold all 3 sections together.
I'm also planning on running the AC ventilation in between the raised deck. There isn't enough room simply by using the 1/2" poplar boards, so I used a Dado bit to remove some material in the deck where the vent till go.
Since plywood is 3/4", and I removed almost 1/2" of material, the sheet is a little thin around this area, so I chose to use fiberglass to strengthen the lowered section.
Next Steps is to remove all of the bolts holding the sheet to the trailer, flip it over, and seal the joints on the other side with epoxy and fiberglass. The entire underside will be sanded, and then I'll use a truck bed liner to seal anything that will be exposed to the open road.
Fiberglass and epoxy finished, so now the deck is sealed on both sides. Having used biscuits to glue the plywood sections together along with the fiberglass should create a strong deck. I decided to use Herculiner truck bed liner to seal the bottom of the deck. It will take at least 2 coats, but and hope to finish tomorrow night. Then I'll be able to flip the deck over and permanently attach to the trailer.
Flipped the deck over tonight and started on the raised deck and electrical conduit. I used 2" poplar boards as the strips to support the upper deck. These were attached with 2" Stainless steel screws. The conduit was positioned and holes were cut to accommodate the pipes, which will house the trailer wiring.
Wood support strips were placed around the routed A/C return, as well as the trenches for the 110V electrical wiring and 12V for the galley. I originally thought I would paint this, but realized that no on will ever see this anyway once the top deck is attached.
The aluminum strip at the back is extra support for the spare tire holder. Running the wires through the conduit will be the next step, as well as cutting insulation for the blank areas.
I decided to paint the interior of the raised deck to help keep everything sealed. Not sure why I picked brown, as no one will see it.
I'm running some of the electrical cabling through the raised deck. Click here to see the electrical thread.
Pink insulation was added to the gaps in the deck. I also used a rain gutter pipe as the air return for the A/C unit.
I may use spray foam to seal the gaps in the remainder of the deck, but I still have some electrical items to complete first.
The spare tire mount was installed on top of an aluminum strip to give additional support.
Using expandable spray foam, I sealed the remainder of the deck for insulation.
I used a hacksaw blade and a surfoam to remove the excess foam. Once the foam is level with the raised deck sides, then the top deck can be installed.
The top deck was installed, and wires pulled through the top, along with the air return.
Close up of the air return and wiring. Speaker and stereo remote, trailer light and brake wiring, 12V to Galley, and 110V to Galley.
The back part of the top deck also needed holes for the air return and wiring.
The top deck consists of 3 sheets of plywood, with the one piece in the middle being the smallest. Once I finished installing that last middle piece, I filled all the screw holes and sanded down the joints. I originally was going to use some flooring material on top of this layer, but decided that it was unnecessary as most of it would just be hidden underneath a Mattress anyway. I will paint it as the last step in the raised deck. The entire deck is very sturdy now, and a very solid base for the teardrop.r

Elevate your Safari with a Private Guide
If you're serious about safari or you're a passionate photographer, being accompanied by a private guide will undoubtedly elevate your travel experience - whether you're trekking for gorillas in Rwanda, exploring the rock-hewn churches in Ethiopia, or searching for the perfect photographic opportunity in the wildest corners of Africa's pristine wilderness regions.
As experts in the field of luxury African travel, it's our job to ensure that our guests' experiences are seamless. Although we've met hundreds of guides on our travels, we have personally chosen a handful of professionals whose guiding we hold in high esteem. On such a diverse continent, it goes without saying that each region in Africa differs dramatically, as do guests' interests and aspirations. The specialist guides we've aligned with are so intuitive and experienced that they mould our clients' journeys with proficiency and ease.
A true safari is not just about viewing wildlife and hearing a few fast facts; it is about connecting people to the land, its people, history, wilderness, wildlife and surrounding habitat. It's about taking four or five different destinations and transforming them into one interconnected, unforgettable journey. And it's about bringing guests so close to Africa's wildlife that they feel the beat of Africa in their hearts. And when you come to the end of your privately-guided safari, you won't be left with merely a memory of beautiful sightings; you'll leave feeling enriched by a deeper connection and understanding of the regions you have explored.
In short, if you are looking for that extra special way to elevate your safari we will gladly match you with the perfect guide. A few benefits of having your own guide are:
- You dictate your own safari schedule and time in the bush
- Your guide will quickly identify your likes and dislikes and will intuitively know where to go and what to do to fulfil your aspirations
- He ensures the continuity of your journey from one lodge to the next by liaising with respective lodge Staff and local guides to make sure your experience is ever-evolving and non-repetitive
- You're privy to a constant stream of knowledge throughout your journey
- And in the company of an attentive host and well-travelled companion
The beauty of a privately-guided journey is that your needs or any questions that may arise on the safari are gently managed by a dedicated naturalist every step of the way. These passionate professionals have a comprehensive knowledge of the environment in which you are travelling, its conservation concerns, history, culture, geology and resident fauna and flora.

Mount McKinley To Be Renamed Denali
Mount McKinley is going back to its original name: Denali. President Obama made the announcement on Sunday.
Apparently Alaska and Ohio had been battling it out for a year regarding the name change. Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, introduced legislation to rename the tallest mountain in North America, but Ohio legislators wanted to block it. President William McKinley for whom the mountain was named in 1896 was born in Ohio.
Ironically, McKinley never visited Alaska in his lifetime. The mountain was named after him by a gold prospector when he captured the Republican nomination as a show of support.
From NY Times:
President Obama announced on Sunday that Mount McKinley was being renamed Denali, restoring an Alaska Native name with deep cultural significance to the tallest mountain in North America.
The move came on the eve of Mr. Obama's trip to Alaska, where he will spend three days promoting aggressive action to combat climate change, and is part of a series of steps meant to address the concerns of Alaska Native tribes.
The central Alaska mountain has been called Mount McKinley for more than a century.

I thought that I would highlight some recent research done by a former fellow Ph.D student at WSU, Chris Brunt, and a current WSU faculty member, Gail Jensen, on the effect of price restrictions enacted by states for Medicare Part B reimbursement. Here is a link (gated) and the abstract:
The maximum amount physicians can charge Medicare patients for Part B services depends on Medicare reimbursement rates and on federal and state restrictions regarding balance billing. This study evaluates whether Part B payment rates, state restrictions on balance billing beyond the federal limit, and physician balance billing influence how beneficiaries rate the quality of their doctor's care. Using nationally representative data from the 2001 to 2003 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, this paper finds strong evidence that Medicare reimbursement rates, and state balance billing restrictions influence a wide range of perceived care quality measures. Lower Medicare reimbursement and restrictions on physicians' ability to balance bill significantly reduce the perceived quality of care under Part B.
Economic theory clearly predicts that a mandated reduction in price will result in non-price rationing. However, prior to this paper there was a lack of empirical evidence with regards to the reductions in quality predicted by economic theory.

Purple Cookbook Project: Week 3, Day 2.
As a child, I used to love going to shul with my father. We kids would run around , having fun and making noise (much like my kids do today). Thinking of going to shul back then brings back all sorts of memories. When my father would go to 770 for mincha, when he was able to, I'd often go along. When the Rebbe passed through on his way to his place, he would hand out dimes to us kids, making me feel so special to be singled out in the crowd of men. Being in the crowd of men also brings back not so find memories. Like my long hair constantly getting caught on peoples jackets as I would try to catch up with my father.
Shabbos, we went to one of the smaller shuls in the community, Shain Shul, where we kids ran around in the alleyway or basement. After shul there would often be a kiddush, where the men would sit around and talk while we kids looked for good things to eat from the table. One kiddush food I always liked were the kichlach. Lightweight, airy yet crispy, covered in a course sugar, YUM! It's been years since I've eaten one of them (don't see it at the shul I attend these days, in Montreal :-( ).
Today, while flipping through the Purple Cookbook, I happened on the Egg Kichlach (Spice and Spirit, page 401) and knew that the time has come for me to try to make them myself. Unlike the one in my memory, these ones are coated in a Cinnamon sugar not a course sugar, but my guess would be that it would come out fabulous with the sugar as well. Taste, as expected... LIKE!
Each evening, my family gathers around the dinner table to share good food and talk about whatever is on our minds. Please pull up a chair and join us.

Everything You Need to Have Seen From Last Night's Oscars
The Oscars were last night, and like every other sane person on the planet you were busy watching True Detective. Luckily for you your non-sane correspondents at Gawker were watching the Oscars. This is what you missed.
The Red Carpet: Boring, and then Jennifer Lawrence fell, which is, at this point, boring. Boring!
[There was a video here]
Ellen's monologue was boring until the last 30 seconds, when she crammed in the Jonah Hill dick joke and the 12 Years a Slave "racist" joke.
Ukrainians were thrilled and enervated by this show of support from Jared Leto. Take that, Vladimir!
[There was a video here]
Meryl Streep shimmied with Pharrell.
Vertigo legend Kim Novak needed aggressive back rubs to stay alive and upright.
[There was a video here]
Darlene Love stole the mic and everyone knew better than to play her off.
Bradley Cooper took the most-RTed selfie of all time... on an iPhone, not a Samsung.
If only Bradley's arm was longer. Best photo ever. #oscars pic.twitter.com/C9U5NOtGap
— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) March 3, 2014
(This is the good stuff) Lupita gave a gracious speech...
[There was a video here]
...and despite a decades-long feud, Bill Murray paid a small, touching tribute to the late Harold Ramis.
[There was a video here]
Meanwhile Matthew McConaughey acted totally normal during his acceptance speech, like a normal guy who is not on drugs would act.

There are not any pros when I think of this product compared to it's competitors.
I researched a few other call tracking solutions and all were better and cheaper.
The service is overpriced and it takes 2.5 months to even get out of a "month to month" contract
Their competitors are 75-90% cheaper and offer more reporting, data, functionality. There are better models with better customer support out there.

Hello all.
I'm playing with an old dslr (nikon D5200). It's able to record with these sizes and frame rates:
I'm recording at 1080i 60 fps, and when I see the file details I do see "59 frames/second" in windows properties.
Mediainfo also confirms it:
When I import these clips to Premiere Pro CC 2018 it says they are 29.97 fps.
Premiere Pro, file properties:
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 176.90 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:01:05:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
VR Projection: None
I cannot find a way to make the software recognize the original video parameters... I'm feeling lost here, so, hopefully some experienced users will help.
Thank you for reading.
Oh... ok, I found new information about this, so it seems that 60i gives the same as 30 fps. Why would they even create this format ?...


text: Two weeks ago, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson became the talk of Paris Fashion Week—and really, the world generally—when they closed the Valentino show as their Zoolander male model characters. So when Stiller stopped by The Tonight Show yesterday, Jimmy Fallon asked the actor about the experience. Stiller played it off like he was just an observer. "I was actually there, I saw it in person, and they are so ridiculously good-looking," he started. But he didn't stop there. Watch him discuss the logic behind doing a sequel 15 years later and what the models thought of him and Wilson.

RIP III Challenge
For me, there's no better season than Autumn. So, what better way to begin the approaching season than by reading an atmospheric tale. Carl V from Stainless Steel Droppings has kicked off this season with a challenge. He is hosting the RIP III Challenge. I love challenges, but I'm not good at sticking to them because I tend to procrastinate and not meet deadlines. Well what's really good about this one is that the amount of books you choose to read varies on your personal choice.
I'm accepting the Peril of the Second. Under this peril I will need to read two books of any length, from any subgenre of scary stories that I choose. If I'm able to read more, I will.
Here are the pool of books that I'm interested in reading. I'll choose at least two from my list to review:
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Mina - Marie Kiraly
Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier
Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman
Thirteenth Tale - Diane Setterfield
Coraline - Neil Gaiman
This challenge runs from September 1 through October 31. For more information visit Stainless Steel Droppings: RIP III Challenge.

Just have to provide feedback praising Shannon. She was SO good at making my 72-year-old sister (with one fairly recent knee replacement and the other knee headed for a replacement eventually) feel welcome and confident about doing ANY exercise that uses the knees! Clearly she knows how to adapt/adjust all the exercises for any given physical situation a person has. Also high on my list of compliments is Shannon's ability to guide two — or more! — people/levels at a time: she had me going at my usual pace (and I need ALMOST constant talk-me-through-it) while giving my sister essentially a one-on-one. Perfect. It was a great experience, and I share Shannon's expressed hope that my sister will go back to Virginia and seek out a Pilates class so she can reap the benefits that *I* reap: greater strength, balance, flexibility, muscle tone, and confidence. Oh, and Shannon offered to speak with any prospective instructor to 1) help determine of she/he knows her/his stuff and 2) to discuss Marti's limitations and such. Thanks so much, Shannon!

In January, 2012, a friend asked me to join her for a pilates class. Like everyone else, my new year's resolution was to lose weight, and I thought that sharing a new regimen with a friend would be a great way to go. We met Elaine at Rhinebeck Pilates for our first class, and it set the tone for a practice I now enjoy as a central part of my life. There was no pressure, and I knew I had found a form of exercise that could remedy a long history of back issues, and a need to rebuild core strength following the birth of my three children. I had been in the kind of chronic pain that was interfering with my practice as a dentist, often resulting in the need to cancel appointments; it was a real hardship. It only took the first few pilates classes, though, to recognize that I had found the type of workout that could strengthen the muscles I never even knew I had, thus transforming my body and my entire life experience.
At Rhinebeck Pilates, the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable. They carefully watch each student, making slight adjustments in posture to ensure that we are maximizing our potential for wellness. There is so much individualized attention; something you cannot get at a gym. I look forward to going to Rhinebeck Pilates two or three times each week; it is a gift to myself, and to my family. My children notice how much more I can do now as a result of my pilates practice. At my last physical, I measured an inch and a half taller because my posture has improved so drastically. Most importantly, I am happier than I have been in a very long time. Pain that was once a part of my daily living is completely gone; I am truly grateful to Elaine and the wonderful family at Rhinebeck Pilates for everything.
– Melissa, Dentist
Shortly after my seven-year-old daughter was born, I became at student at Rhinebeck Pilates, primarily to get back into shape after childbirth. I immediately liked it. Elaine and her team are so warm and welcoming, and the studio has a really good, positive vibe. Within a very short time after beginning my practice there, I regained my strength and began to stand taller and straighter – and, of course, became hooked. It has been many years now, but I love the fact that I continue to feel challenged, with each teacher making it a point to provide different exercises for each skill level. As a mother of four, it is so important to carve out that time to do something which makes me feel healthy and strong. I go three times each week as part of my commitment to doing something just for myself and for my overall well-being – and I love it.
The teachers know all of the students by name, know their abilities and limits, and Rhinebeck Pilates, with its warm, caring atmosphere, definitely gives all of us the sense that we are family.
– Jill, Merchant
Since I first moved to town over three years ago, I have been a student at Rhinebeck Pilates. Elaine and her team are warm, kind, and attract the most wonderful group of people to the studio. A true escape from my busy work life, the classes at Pilates are calming and helpful. I feel better each time I leave, and look forward to the next session. My core has strengthened, it's helped me emotionally by relieving stress, and I love the teachers and fellow students. I've made some very wonderful friends; I have really discovered a true community there. I can't imagine a better environment for improving my strength and mindset.
– Barbara, Writer
Certified Pilates Instructor Elaine Ewing, who took over this studio in 2007, offers mat and tower classes, private sessions and special packages. But more important than all that, her students rave that she's patient, knowledgeable – and flexible, too!
– Hudson Valley Magazine, "Best in the Hudson Valley Issue", October 2008
I love every day of it. Our studio is special. We have solidly trained teachers, each with a different approach to teaching and a unique path that brought them to teaching; all of us understand and uphold the traditional principles of the pilates method. My favorite part of the physical studio is the light. It is bright and cheery all the time; a perfect place for our dedicated students to learn about the pilates methods. We also have the most interesting and worldly students. And Elaine, owner of Rhinebeck Pilates, keeps things fresh by hosting workshops and working tirelessly to make sure that all of us who are part of the Rhinebeck Pilates family are growing, learning, and attaining optimal health – mind, body, and spirit.
My favorite moment of teaching pilates is watching a student push the carriage out for the first time. The facial expression, and sometimes even the commentary, could be archived and published as a collection of great stories!
– Terianne, Instructor and Manager at Rhinebeck Pilates
When I moved back to the Hudson Valley, I knew I wanted to be a part of Rhinebeck Pilates. The studio is beautiful, has state-of-the-art equipment, and the people are incredibly warm and inviting. The environment is so friendly. It is welcoming to all, making it easy for students at every level, particularly those new to pilates, to feel comfortable and safe. It is the perfect environment to heal, to be challenged, and to learn. I have met some of the kindest, most interesting, and most wonderful people as a teacher at Rhinebeck Pilates. I learn as much from them as they do from me. I truly love what I do, and I enjoy every single day I get to work at Rhinebeck Pilates.
– Kate, Instructor at Rhinebeck Pilates
The very first day that I began Pilates—during the very first exercise, in fact – I distinctly remember thinking, "This is it. This is what is going to make me feel better." And it quickly became clear that Elaine was the perfect person to learn from. She's all the things you'd want in a trainer: patient, articulate, sensitive to your body, tough when necessary – above all, she knows her stuff and she knows how to communicate that knowledge in a way that sticks. Best of all, my lower back problems have disappeared, my hamstrings are looser… honestly, I can't recommend working with Elaine enough.
– Brett, Author and Journalist, Brooklyn, NY
I had so much "mind chatter" in my head last night on and off in class – work issues, etc.- but the exercises helped me to move through it and not dwell on it, which was a very good thing! Class helped me to re-direct my focus onto my body…like many things in life, we keep chipping away at it, seeing improvement each week!
– Diane, Catskill, NY
Congratulations on your success thus far. You have really revitalized the studio and the practice. I look forward to my sessions and classes, and I guard these times jealously!
– Michael, Milan, NY
I recommend Elaine's classes for people who want to stay strong and flexible. They really help the stiffness in your body which comes with aging.
– Diana, Marketing, Ancram, NY
Elaine has mastered the classical pilates style and always brings something new to each session. Her presence is calm and focused – at the same time, the fun environment she creates can lead to lasting friendship. Elaine always inspires me to bring my A-game!
– Beth, Musician and Pilates Instructor, Brooklyn, NY
I find Pilates great for my overall fitness. And Elaine's sessions have been especially helpful for my sporatic back problem. It occurs less often, is less painful, and heals much faster when I practice pilates regularly.
– Sue, Librarian, Taghkanic, NY
I love pilates and I love Elaine. I have never been one of good physical condition and I find that the mat classes can easily accommodate all physical levels. What I like most about pilates is how it makes my body feel after a long day of sitting at my desk. I am usually sore and stiff and pilates help to lengthen and strengthen my muscles. Elaine is a fantastic teacher, prompting everyone with friendly reminders to get the best out of each exercise. You can't get that from a do-it-at-home video. I always look forward to my classes and enjoy the the renewed energy I gain from them.
– Erin, Graphic Designer, Catskill, NY
At 65 you help keep me vibrant and flexible. Thank you, Elaine.
– Ed, Ancram, NY

I'm looking for a reference for the following standard result:
Let $U$ be a unipotent algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ (of any characteristic); then any algebraic representation of $U$ has a fixed point.
Statements of Engel's theorem for the analogous statement about Lie algebras seem to be ubiquitous. I can also find the statement that connected solvable groups always preserve a line in many places (for example, Borel, Theorem III.10.4). Combining this with the fact that unipotent groups have no non-trivial characters gives me the result I need. But it would be nice to have a place to which I could refer for the precise statement about unipotent groups.

Game of the Day: Solitaire: FreeCell Penguin
So what's new, you say? The playing field is divided into three parts: Foundation, Cell, then Tableau. Cards need to get stacked in Foundation, at the top. Cell are placeholders for cards and only hold one at a time. Tableau are all your movable cards.
At the bottom of the game is a tab for "My Solitaire Albums", which contains two free themes of backgrounds and card decks. (The second theme is shown in our screenshots.) Six more backgrounds and two more card decks are available under the categories of "Great Outdoors" and "Italian Holiday", but you'll have to earn those with wins.
Game Options also include hints, and if you have it turned on, the game will indicate which cards you should click next. Mostly, you'll see red sashes, but a beige sash means the card can go into the Foundation stacks. If Auto Complete is on, the game will automatically send the cards to the corrects stacks for you. Intrigued? Then come check out Solitaire: FreeCell Penguin today!

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurological disorder that impairs your body's involuntary (autonomic) functions, including blood pressure, heart rate, bladder function and digestion.
Formerly called Shy-Drager syndrome, the condition shares many Parkinson's disease-like symptoms, such as slowness of movement, muscle rigidity and poor balance.
Multiple system atrophy is a degenerative disease that develops in adulthood, usually in the 50s or 60s.
Treatment for MSA includes medications and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms. The condition progresses gradually and eventually leads to death.

- Introduction to Yi T'aejun's Travels in China
Yi T'aejun refashioned himself many times during the half century of his recorded life. He was born in the Korean empire before the Japanese empire absorbed it, an event that took place when he was five. A leading novelist and essayist of the 1930s, this self-made petit bourgeois left Seoul for North Korea within a year of liberation. Although he was a founder of Kuinhoe, which espoused art for art's sake as opposed to the more socially engaged literature of KAPF (Korean Artist Proletarian Federation), he subordinated his art to politics after moving north. His two travel essays about the Soviet Union, published in 1947 and 1950, and his 1952 essay Travels in China, subtitled A New Great China, are works from the last phase of a versatile writer whose genius could not outwit the vicissitudes of modern Korean history.
Born in 1904 in Ch'ŏrwŏn of Kangwŏn Province, Yi followed his destitute yet educated reformer father to exile in Vladivostok at the age of four. His father died that year, and Yi became an orphan in 1912 when his mother also passed away. When he was fourteen, Yi left his relatives' home and roamed Korea for two years. Although he eventually enrolled at a high school in Seoul, he was expelled in the fourth year of the five-year program for organizing a strike. He still finagled his way to [End Page 291] Sophia University in Tokyo, financing his studies by delivering milk and newspapers. Within a year, however, he dropped out and returned to Korea.
During his sojourn in Japan, he published his first short story, "Omongnyŏ." This debut piece was a romance, which was turned into a successful film a dozen years later. Yi became a journalist in Seoul at the age of twenty-four, and married the following year. His wife was a graduate of Ewha Women's College, where Yi taught writing. He had two sons and three daughters with her.
Despite colonial constraints, Yi had a prolific writing career until Japan's total mobilization in 1941. He served as the cultural editor of major publications, including Chosun Choong-ang Ilbo, and serialized over sixty short stories and a dozen novels in newspapers and magazines. Yi also founded the journal Munjang with modernist poet Chŏng Chiyong and sijo poet Yi Pyŏnggi, and published avantgarde writers, including Yi Sang.
One of Yi's most read works from the colonial period to this day has been Murŏrok (Records of wandering thoughts), which Janet Poole translated as Eastern Sentiments. Published in 1941, these anecdotal essays sought refuge from the tides of colonialism and commodification in traditionalism, extolling antiques, orchids, and classical poetry. Yi concluded his anthology with a travel essay about Manchuria, where he lamented the plight of Korean farmers and located the future of Korea in its diaspora. Although Japanese authorities approved Musŏrok, Korean language publications were banned in the early 1940s, and Yi retreated to his rural hometown to devote himself to fishing.
Despite Yi's disdain for the excesses of capitalism, few predicted that a dilettante accused by a contemporary of indulging in "feudal nostalgia" and being more concerned with form and style than content and politics would metamorphose into a full-fledged socialist. Yi's convictions were solidified after his two-month journey to the Soviet Union in 1946. He wrote in the preface to his travelogue that after flying to Moscow, "I was like a bird [End Page 292] soaring through the sky for the first time, having been freed from a cage. Those few months were truly enchanting."
Yi's 1951 trip to commemorate the second anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China took place during the Korean War, and he describes driving to China at night to avoid American air raids. Yi was part of the six-member delegation from North Korea, and received a dignitary's welcome from Mao Zedong at Tiananmen along with other delegates from thirteen socialist nations. Yi toured metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing, as well as some of...

Join Tom Geller for an in-depth discussion in this video Understand Views, part of Drupal 8 Essential Training: 2 Building Out Your Website.
- [Voiceover] Now we come to Views,…one of the most powerful parts of Drupal.…Up until this point in the course,…we've had pretty good control…over how Drupal presents individual nodes.…What Views does is let you combine nodes and parts of nodes…into useful groupings of information.…The easiest way to understand Views…is to look at the front page of your site,…and specifically, I'm going to turn on…the pencil icons by clicking this pencil up here.…And you'll notice that there are two right above this node.…The bottom one lets you edit the node…the top one actually lets you edit the view,…but instead of going to the view that way,…I'm going to go to it the more traditional way.…
First, I'll turn off the pencil icons,…and then I'll go up to structure…and scroll to the bottom and views.…This is a list of all the views…that come on your site by default.…As you scroll through, you'll notice a lot of these paths.…These are the ways that you get to…any particular page that's described by a view.…For example, if I click on /admin/content,…
In these tutorials, Tom Geller helps new Drupal designers change the layout and design elements of their sites, control visitor interactions (including comments), arrange content in user-friendly "views," and expand the site's capabilities beyond what's available in core Drupal with Drupal modules. In all the steps you'll learn best practices to ensure your sites remain streamlined, secure, and up to date.

To enhance picking efficiency, pick-to-light systems further automate the picking process. These systems utilize a series of lights and displays to prompt the operator to pick the correct product in the correct quantity. These systems allow operators to pick at up to twice the speed of paper systems and cut errors by over 85%. The pick-to-light systems are equally at home in both the small and large scale warehouse operations. Pick-to-light systems are normally complemented with barcode technology. A barcode carrying the order processing information is read, and that activity will energize the lights and displays in that zone of picking.
Contact us for more information on how you can optimize your order fulfillment operations with pick-to-light technology.

In a rare occurrence, I took two children to a museum at the same time and we all enjoyed the entire visit.
Living in the D.C. area, we try to take advantage of access to all of these excellent, free museums. It's easier to take a risk on bringing young children without a $50+ admission fee. But some trips, well, have been short. And even the best trips usually involve at least one person complaining.
Last week's field trip to the Udvar-Hazy branch of the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum, however, was unanimously described as "AMAZING!"
They were so excited they didn't want to slow down enough for me to read many signs, but kind employees and visitors talked to the kids about what they were seeing, which was probably more interesting for them.
They especially liked learning about the magnificent SR-71 Blackbird.
I especially appreciated the design of the museum, the ways the aircraft are displayed and lit, and the use of height.
When I was in elementary school, the teachers rolled TVs into our classrooms so we could see space shuttle launches live. My kids watched this video of Discovery (which is right above them) launching over and over.
Behind the space shuttle is this computer, on which my father-in-law (the real Sgt. Pepper) worked in California.
We took pictures to send to him, of course.
Visiting the observation tower, and watching the planes land at Dulles is always a hit. This day we had particularly clear and beautiful views.
After gazing at airplanes for quite a while and then visiting the gift shop, and having long ago passed our regular lunch time, I was prepared to head home. But the kids begged to get in line to learn to fly a Cessna.
I mean, a museum trip doesn't get better than that, does it?

When he lived in Charleston, Sadler Vaden was part of the barroom-rock trio Leslie, a band that enjoyed about a half dozen years of regional success. That was before Drivin' N' Cryin' came knocking in 2011, prompting him to relocate to Nashville. Then in 2013, former Drive-By Truckers member Jason Isbell asked Vaden to join forces with his crew. "Back then, it felt like I needed to take the gig, kind of not knowing what was around the corner with it all," Vaden says.
Turns out, all of Vaden's band-switching was meant to be. "The experience has been wonderful," he says. "Everybody's lives have been changed within two years, and it's been pretty cool to be able to step back and watch it in real time. I don't know if Jason has — because he's so busy, and he's the man, he's the artist — but I feel like I've been able to, and the other band members have been able to kind of step back and really take it all in."
Isbell has now become part of the Americana vernacular, a rise Vaden remembers with awe. "It's been a pretty amazing little journey," he says. "You go from touring in a van, dogging it out just like any other band — which is all I've ever known — to slowly selling out the Ryman. And then you're doing Austin City Limits, and then you're playing Letterman and Conan and the Lincoln Center, and you're opening for Willie Nelson. You've got a bus, you got a crew, and you're goin' to Australia, you're goin' to Sweden."
Though Isbell is his priority, Vaden's not totally out of the picture when it comes to Drivin' N' Cryin'. Those bridges were never burned. "I'm happy to fill in when I can," he says. "I mean, those guys were a heavy influence on me and then playing and becoming super-close friends with them — it feels good to have the door open. And those guys wanted me to do what was best career-wise. I only received support from them on that end."
But being the guitarist for other bands doesn't mean Vaden has stopped making his own music. In 2012, he released the seven-song collection Radio Road, and he's currently busy recording a new record at the Bakery Studio in Nashville. Vaden's unsure of the release date but hopes for something to surface late summer or in September. He's just glad he's found the time to keep creating. "It's hard, you know, but I do manage to write some on the road, but a lot of it happens when I get home and have those decompression days where I don't really wanna go do anything," he says. "I just wanna sit at the house, and then that's usually when I'm not really thinking about it or pushing it or anything. I just start picking up a guitar. But if I know I have a song half-done, lyrically, the road is a good place for that because you have a good amount of time during the day, and you just kind of find an empty dressing room somewhere and try to finish the assignment you've given yourself."
One of the songs you may find on the record is "End of the Road," an old Leslie song off 2011's Lord, Have Mercy. "I'm redoing that one, because it's a song that I wrote for my parents," he says. "And since we disbanded, I don't feel like it ever got the life that it deserved."
At the Pour House show this week, Vaden will play a mini solo set of old and new material. But he'll also reunite with Shrimp Records friends for a rather joyous occasion. You see, Vaden will get married in Charleston just two days later. "It's like a public bachelor party for me," he says. "It's not my official bachelor party, but that was kind of the spark for the show. We thought, 'Well, why don't we all just play a show? That's what we all do best, and we never get to do that with me [in Nashville] and everything.'"
And much like one's own bachelor party, Vaden has nothing to do with the organization of the show. "I'm letting them plan it," he says. "But I think me and all those folks who used to do the Holy City Heartbreakers, where we just did Tom Petty stuff, will do a mini set of that, and then there'll be a big family band set. Maybe Cary and Mike [Shovels & Rope] will play a song or two, and we'll probably do some Dylan and Beatles, lots of fun stuff like that. And Josh Kaler and Michael Flynn from Slow Runner will be there too, so maybe they'll break out a new song."
The Shrimp Records Family Band includes members of Shovels & Rope, Punks&Snakes, Mechanical River, and Slow Runner.
