Regional civil protection training centres equipped for better community outreach
TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, 13 October 2011. – Regional civil protection training centres of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in Karakalpakstan, Andijan, Surkhandarya and Khorezm regions have received 'Damas' minivans from UNICEF today. This will support centres' community outreach interventions to ensure better preparedness of children and their families for disasters. The hand-over took place at the Ministry of Emergency Situations with participation of high-level officials from the Ministry and UNICEF, marking the International Day for Disaster Reduction in Uzbekistan.
This year the day is observed under the theme "Making Children and Young People Partners for Disaster Risk Reduction". It stresses the importance of prevention and advocacy work among children and young people, who are most at risk of becoming victims of natural, environmental and technological disasters, and encourages them to get involved in disaster reduction and decision making.
"Protecting children from disasters and creating a safe environment for them is a global UNICEF priority and one of the critical elements of the current UNICEF Country Programme of Cooperation with Uzbekistan," said UNICEF Representative Jean-Michel Delmotte. "The results of our joint efforts on disaster risk reduction are very encouraging. We see that children can become real agents of change in this area. They help spread awareness on natural disasters and associated risks among their parents and communities and even teach them what measures to take in the event of disaster".
As a result of a four-year partnership among UNICEF, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other governmental and non-governmental partners, more than 5,000 teachers from 13 regions of Uzbekistan have increased their awareness on natural disasters. The teachers were also trained on methods to cope with hazards and provided with necessary educational and information materials. 350,000 children and their parents are now better aware of natural hazards and related risks, and know how to prepare themselves and their families to potential disasters as well as act properly in case of emergencies.
Speaking at the hand-over ceremony, Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations Khakimjon Abdulazizov noted successful partnership with UNICEF in the area of population preparedness to disasters. Expressing appreciation to UNICEF for its contribution to disaster risk reduction activities in Uzbekistan, Mr. Abdulazizov emphasized that the ministry remains committed to strengthening and expanding the current collaboration.

The Hills Are ALIVE!
Moms DO watch "The Hills" ... right??
NOOOOOOO! Say it isn't so! Steve Wozniak, one of the most endearing contestants this show has ever seen has danced his final nerdy, awkward, low-scoring routine of the season.
I LOVE "Dancing with the Stars"!
Oh "Dancing with the Stars" ... I can't quit you. After being tempted to erase you from my overcrowded DVR, you reel me back in. Injuries abound! Last-minute replacements! "Dancing" Nerds! And ... I'm back.
I Will Boycott OctoMom Reality Show!
I will not be watching any OctoMom reality show. Don't get me wrong, I am a dirty reality TV whore. It's my total guilty pleasure, and the dirtier the better as far as I'm concerned. But seeing the circus that is OctoMom's life wouldn't entertain me, it would just make me sad.

A survey of tail spine characteristics of stingrays frequenting African, Arabian to Chagos-Maldive Archipelago waters.
Schwartz, Frank J.
Tail spine characteristics were examined of 51species (including one subspecies) of stingrays frequenting African, Arabian to Chagos-Maldive archipelago waters. Thirty-four species (313 males, 405 females) possessed intact spines, 12 species lacked tail spines. Spine characteristics recorded were: total length, prebase length, serrations (right and left), serrations or spaces on the spine base and if a dorsal groove was present. Spine total serrations ranged 36-261; spine serrations of males were usually more numerous than of females, sometimes twice as many. Total serration count seemed to be associated with stingray habitat and behavior, those of active open water rays have high counts, while benthic or freshwater ray species have low counts. Disk width, spine length, prebase length and presence of a dorsal groove is not correlated with size or type of stingray. Likewise the number of spine serrations does not increase in more derived genera. A combination of spine characteristics does, however, define a species. These features will help scientists, paleontologists and physicians identify a species.

Police looking for woman in armed robberyBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | February 24,2014
DANBY Police are investigating the armed robbery of a convenience store Saturday night.
According to state police, at approximately 6:30 p.m., a woman entered Nichols Store on Main Street and handed a note to the clerk demanding money. The woman displayed a black revolver in the right pocket of her hooded sweatshirt, but never removed the pistol from her pocket, police said.
The robber made off with what police called a small amount of cash from the register and fled the immediate area on foot, although police believe she used a vehicle to leave the area.
There were no injuries.
Police described the suspect as a woman, between 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing approximately 100 to 110 pounds. The woman wore a black hooded sweatshirt with a Peace sign on the front, blue jeans and a mask made from some sort of fabric.
Saturdays incident was the second armed robbery of a convenience store by a woman in the area in four days. Shortly before midnight Wednesday, a woman walked into the Stewarts shop at 232 Main St. in West Rutland and demanded money.
Much like Saturdays robbery, the woman in the West Rutland robbery handed the clerk a note and displayed a handgun, which was tucked into her waistband. Police said the weapon appeared to be a gray revolver.
Police said the West Rutland robber was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a star pattern on its front and back, blue jeans and a light-colored ski mask.
Anyone with information about either of these robberies is asked to call the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks at 773-9101. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online at goo.gl/OZAZks.

About Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center
Read what patients say about us and why they come from across the US and abroad for tubal reversal by Dr. Berger.
Read More >>>
Exceptional care
Our mission is to make your tubal reversal safe, comfortable, successful and to give you the best medical care you have ever experienced.
- "You and your staff are some of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life, especially in the medical community. Not only did I have a successful surgery, but I am on the road to having that special addition to my family I have dreamt about for so many years. I can't say enough good things about you and all your nurses. I could never thank you enough either for this gift you have given me. I watch and listen to so many women who have the same dream as me, and have really gone through some rough times trying to have a baby. The support system from this website and you and your nurses being available to us practically at all times is a miracle in itself." Karen M.
- "Thank you for the excellent care that I received at your office! You have managed to raise the bar on patient care in meticulous detail. Every aspect of the potential patient need was addressed right down to the post-surgery care package so thoughtfully presented by the smiling faces at the Sheraton Hotel. I am overwhelmed with emotion as I re-live every moment of my travel to your office for my surgery. Every question and fear was quickly diminished as I walked through your open gates at 7:00 am. You were ready as well as your staff and the facilities could easily pass a white glove inspection. If it's not abundantly clear, I am extremely picky and I am completely impressed with the standard of care provided at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center!" Karen E .
- "Kelli and I would like to thank you for all the help during Kelli's reversal in April. She is recovering well and looking forward to the possibilities of having a child together. You and your staff are simply the best. The personal care that is given by you and your staff goes above and beyond anything money can buy. We could not have felt at ease anymore than we did. Kudos to you all. Thanks Again!" Michael and Kelli C.
- "I am writing in appreciation of your kindness, professionalism, patience and attention since making my first contact with your clinic. I was delighted that the testimonials rang true when I experienced very little discomfort post surgery! Considering that I had previous surgery with significant discomfort ( ovarian cyst removed and a tubal ligation), I was amazed at how painless post surgery could be. Despite being given directions on pain relief, and being prescribed pain medication, I required none. I am still in awe of the whole experience. I made the right decision to travel to your clinic and receive what I believe to be a reversal by the finest surgeon in North America. Thank you, Dr. Berger, and thank you to all who support, nurture, assist in every way that you all do." Petra E.
- "As the time draws nearer for the arrival of our first TR baby I still thank you everyday for giving my husband and me this opportunity to have a child. I remember how exceptionally we were treated. Some friends of ours came to you after finding out we were pregnant. They also could not believe how wonderful you all are. Thank you for changing so many lives and for providing such a great place. You and your staff are truly wonderful people." Deana F.
- "As an RN for 23 years and a PACU nurse for 8 of those years, I can truthfully say that all free-standing surgical centers should use your center as a standard for care. I was extra appreciative of the care everyone gave me. I felt everyone there truly enjoyed their work, was knowledgable, caring, and willing to accommodate any need. Patients should feel confident in their healthcare provider and this facility and staff went way beyond that. Whether I conceive or not, this was absolutely a positive experience. If you ever want 'patients to speak to patients' about their experience, I would be glad to do that. " Melony F.
- "I cannot say enough positive things about you and the team of people that you work with. At every point during this journey, they have been there to answer questions and provide encouragement. Your center is wonderful, calm and relaxing. I felt completely at home upon arrival and I was sure that we had made the right choice by selecting you to do our reversal. You and the entire team at Chapel Hill are completely dedicated to the people that you provide care to." Nikki W.
- "My husband and I had a great experience with Dr. Berger and his team. We didn't have anything to worry about. When we arrived to our hotel we received a nice care package. This probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but in our business, when you go the extra mile for your clients they notice. The process from start to finish was incredible. We were kept on top of every thing by one of his highly qualified and professional staff members. Every department was top quality. This facility has top processes in place that made us feel very comfortable from the very first phone call. We couldn't have made a better decision than this. I highly recommend Dr. Berger and his team to anyone who is considering a tubal reversal. We would gladly be a reference for anyone who is in the process of having this procedure. It pays off to do your research." Lupe D.
- "My husband and I were so overwhelmed by the compassion and care you, your staff and the staff at the surgical center have shown us. I have never been treated so well by any doctor or medical staff before in my life." Lisa A.
- "Your amazing skill and your absolutely wonderful staff have assisted God in yet another miracle. So thank you, Dr. Berger, for giving me and so many other women hope." Heather and Mike H.
- "I know you deal with hundreds of families, but you made me feel like your only patient. Alanna is the newest member of our family thanks to God and You! You have been an awesome Doctor. Thank you a hundred times over." Lisa and Ned LaM.
- "You truly are a remarkable team. You have such a warm and caring atmosphere that your patients feel like you are "family." Thank you for loving your jobs -- it shows! " Carrie and Allen B.
- "We have had phone calls from people visiting your site and from people who heard about us around our area wanting to know more about what we thought. We can't tell them enough wonderful things about you and your staff. You are all just the best! I don't have to sell them on your work because it speaks for itself I think!!!! But I tell them about your bedside manner and that of your staff. I let them know how kind and reassuring everyone is and THAT is what really got me through the fear of surgery that I had. All of this has just been the biggest miracle we could ever ask for." Heidi K.
- "I have never seen the likes of your office staff. You have far exceeded any expectation that any person could have of any doctor's office. Courteous is an understatement. In this area you have not just succeeded, you are victorious! We women wait so long to see you and your service is so personal, that we end up emotionally attached and by the time we get there, we could have spent all day with you! I know at least I could have. Many Blessings to you." Stephanie C.
The most experience
Dr. Berger performs 4 tubal reversals each day, 5 days a week. Having performed more than 7000 procedures, he has the most experience with this outpatient operation of any reproductive surgeon in the world.
- "I have a long academic and career history in healthcare nationally and abroad. As a result, finding my tubal reversal doctor was something I took extremely seriously, as this would be my one and only chance for more children. I researched every doctor I could in the U.S. and some abroad for 9 months. I felt confident in Dr. Berger's education, residency, and post graduate training, years of experience, and present outcome measurements and decided to go with him for my TR. Dr. Berger is the best tubal reversal doctor. I have never regretted my decision." Katharine A.
- "I chose Dr. Berger because of his vast experience in the fertility field and microsurgery tubal reversal. I researched all fertility doctors nationwide and time and time again, my first choice was Dr. Berger." Runora F.
- "One year ago we flew to Chapel Hill for our tubal reversal performed by Dr. Berger. Dr. Berger's bedside manner, exceptional concern and unsurpassed talent brought such ease to both of us. Today is very special for two reasons: The first anniversary of a successful tubal reversal and confirmation of pregnancy!" Jim & Tammy F.
Low cost
The $5900 cost of tubal reversal performed by Dr. Berger represents the best value for this procedure by any tubal reversal doctor in the USA or abroad.
- "You will not find a better doctor or a better staff to perform this procedure, not to mention that the procedure is about $10,000 less than you'll pay elsewhere. All I can say is ask for the video or talk to one of Dr. Berger's wonderful nurses. I think you'll be very impressed." Will and Angie B.
- "Where we live the reversal is $12,000 to $15,000 and we couldn't afford that. But then we heard about Dr. Berger. So we prayed, and God just opened all the doors. Just 2 weeks after my tubal reversal, I was already pregnant. Nine months later we had a beautiful baby girl, Sarah Jane." David and Sheila R.
- "Prior to finding you, my husband and I spoke to many doctors who were very negative about the idea of having a tubal reversal. We were given high prices with low success rates. I was practically talked out of having the surgery. That is when we found Dr. Berger and Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and the beginning of our dream come true." Renee and Jack L.
Ongoing support
Our caring for you does not stop after you recover from your operation. We are available for on-going support and consultation to help you to become pregnant.
- "When I started looking around for a doctor to assist us with a tubal reversal, you happened to appear on the CBS Early Show. I was very happy to hear that this was something I could afford. I also checked your background and found you to be an outstanding doctor. Upon arrival, your staff was very warm and comforting, and they made us feel right at home. Even to this day your staff is right there if I need them." Stephanie and Marc K.
- "After the surgery you just didn't forget about us. Your office kept in touch with us and has always been there for us when we had questions. A year to the day of my tubal reversal, our little Matthew arrived." Julie and Chris M.

- 1 small eggplant, sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
- 1 medium yellow squash, sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
- 1 medium red onion, cut crosswise into 4 slices
- 2 teaspoons olive oil plus more for brushing
- 1/2 each medium red and yellow bell pepper, halved lengthwise, or 1 whole red or yellow bell pepper, quartered lengthwise
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 3 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
- 4 thick slices of country bread
- 3 ounces mild goat cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
- Light a grill or preheat the broiler. Brush the eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash and onion with olive oil. Grill the pepper quarters, skin sides down, for about 12 minutes, or until charred. Grill the eggplant, zucchini, squash and onion, turning occasionally, until tender but still firm: 6 to 8 minutes for the zucchini, squash and onion and 8 to 10 minutes for the eggplant. Peel the peppers and cut all the grilled vegetables into 1/2-inch dice.
- Heat the 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonreactive saucepan. Add the garlic and stir over moderate heat until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, salt and pepper and simmer, stirring, for 10 minutes. Add the grilled vegetables, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the basil and the oregano and simmer, stirring, for 3 minutes longer.
- Grill the bread until toasted. Combine the cheese, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons basil and a generous grinding of pepper and stir until smooth; stir in the cream. Spread the goat cheese on the warm toasts and serve with the soup.
Suggested Pairing
To echo the dominant flavors of vegetables and goat cheese, look for a Sauvignon Blanc with strong varietal character from California.

Heeding God's Voice
- Thursday, April 02, 2009
So the other day, when I was thinking about a person I know who needed some extra cash for a project, I asked Jesus if He wanted me to help out and if so, how much. The amount that came to my mind was weird. Until I realized it was the amount matched a check I recently got. I thought, really, Lord? Seriously? And even though I doubted this ever so slightly, I figured I'd rather err on the generous side. Especially because as I signed the back of the check, I heard, "on your knees, in your heart".
Ladies, are you listening? Take some time today…not this week, not at your next women's retreat next month, but today. And listen for the Voice of the One who loves you and wants to pour out His love and compassion over you. Today. Just listen.

How does the latest CyberShot fit in to Sony's already burgeoning compact camera line-up?
|f/2.4 G-series optics, Sweep Panorama and other advanced shooting functionality
|LCD screen is disappointing and could do with being to a higher specification
Sony's stylish compact series has won many a admirer in the consumer market thanks to a combination of both brand familiarity and sleek design. However, more recently Sony has begun to delivery some real innovation and quality imaging from these models, so does the W380 continue this trend, or is it a reversion to the older style-over-substance CyberShot models?
Sony CyberShot W380 review - Features
The W380 offers a full resolution of 14.1MP, which is more than enough for the casual shooter. An area where Sony has improved upon recently is the production of its own optics, and the W380 also benefits from this development. The model sports Sony's G optics, offering a 5x optical zoom and a focal range of 24-120mm in equivalent terms, with a maximum aperture of f/2.4. Another feature which permeates the Sony compact camera series these days is HD video capture, and the W380 fits right into this category, offers HD movie capture. The W380 also features several of Sony's innovative new image capture modes; for example, the much-advertised Sweep Panorama mode allows the seamless capture of a scene up to 170 degrees in a single movement of the camera.
Sony CyberShot W380 review - Design
While Sony have been improving the imaging side of their compact cameras, that doesn't mean that they've forgotten the design element for which they were so popular. The W380 is available in a range of four different colours, with all sporting a range of stainless steel highlights. Button layout on the rear of the camera is intelligent, with a sturdy mode dial featuring and a circular d-pad controlling the basic imaging functionality just below. Considering the specification of the W380, and the history of Sony offering a completely high-specified imaging product, it is slightly disappointing that the LCD screen isn't either larger of of a high resolution, though having said that the one on the rear of the camera is certainly large enough for the small body.
Sony CyberShot W380 review - Performance
As to be expected with Sony's recent crop of compact cameras, the W380 performs well in generally use. Focusing is fairly prompt, while the intelligent auto scene mode is unerringly accurate at addressing the correct scene and setting the desired camera functions accordingly. As mentioned, the LCD on the camera isn't of the highest specification, and as such in difficult lighting it can have issues with streaking. The design means that the W380 feels nice both in the pocket and in hand when shooting, with the intelligent button layout also contributing to this comfort of use.

Sarah Rae's Favorite Knife: Rachael Ray Gusto Grip 5-Inch Santoku
A few years back my husband and I set out to find a moderately priced knife that would get the job done without leaving us unable to pay the rent. Knives can be pricey and we're proud to say we rather enjoy the middle of the pack piece we've come to love!
It's not often you'll hear me say I love celebrity branded products, but these knives by Furi are just that. Rachael Ray stepped up to the plate for them for a very specific reason. She wanted a knife that if your hands were wet or a little slimy that you still had a firm control. She was also looking for a product that was balanced for her smaller hands and wouldn't cause hand fatigue if you're doing a good amount of slicing and dicing.
That said, neither my husband and I have small hands and we've both enjoyed this product tremendously. For those who swear by smaller knives and aren't comfortable flipping a large, long bladed beast around the kitchen, this knife is balanced to pack a punch and cut with ease without having an extra long piece of steel flying about. The rubber handle is also shaped so your hand doesn't slide towards the blade as you cut which means you don't need as much pressure to cut, causing less overall stress.
We've owned the set (a 5" & a 7") for 4 years now and although we know they're not the best knives on the market, they get the job done. We purchased the knife as a set, but more often than not, the smaller of the two is what's used. The only thing I wish we would have done was purchase the special sharpening claw for it. I just couldn't bring myself to bring a uni-tasker into the kitchen like that, but the blade would have kept a slightly cleaner edge for longer.

I bought the 3 knife set (5-inch, serated, and pairing) 4 years ago or so. I really like them! One thing I also would have liked to have was some sort of a sharpening apparatus. Is it possible to sharpen them with a different device? There was a post awhile back with a whole bunch of electric sharpening tools, and a couple of them seemed worth the money (even if a unitasker). I have noticed slicing tomatoes is becoming more and more of an issue and would really like to sharpen my chef's nice back to it's former glory.
I got these for my girlfriend, now wife, right before we moved in together using my lexis nexis points I had accumulated in law school. We still use this and the pairing knife it came with regularly; though, after travelling to Thailand this past year and taking a cooking class, we prefer using our cleaver!
PARING, folks, not pairing.
Can't you just sharpen these on a rod? I have one that I use for all my knives. Are these knives in need of a special sharpener?
For a quick sharpening, use the bottom of a bowl or a coffee mug to sharpen your knives. the slightly rough surface does an amazing job.
I know this post is from awhile ago but my mom has these knives and I'm on the hunt for my own set. Any clues where I can buy them? Coming up empty handed around the internet...

She is sore but seems to be OK otherwise. After looking at the pictures of the car I would have to say it is a miracle she survived and a real tribute to the safety features of the Ford Fusion. We are looking for another one to replace it. It was a great car. We bought it from a local dealer, Arlen Krantz in Sandstone, MN. We have him looking for another Ford.

Having gone through the film program, most of the questions relate directly
to that program.
For me? Definitely. For you? Who knows.
It all depends on what you want to get out of it, and how
you go about making that happen. If you just enroll, attend
classes, and do only what you have to... then it probably
won't be worth it for you. If that's the case, you're probably
in the wrong industry anyways.
If, on the other hand, you're excited about the film industry,
outgoing, and wanting to learn how to work on a film set... then
Full Sail is definitely for you!
Reading the Advice from a Full
Sail Graduate article will probably help you answer this question
as it applies to you.
In a heartbeat!
If I could change things around, I'd have gone directly to University after
High School, and obtained a B.S. in Business Administration, prior to
attending Full Sail for Film Production.
Yes. The first order of business at Full Sail is to get you up to speed
on military time, as you'll be using it for the next year. Your first schedule
will say things like 0900-1300 and 1715-2100, which are saying 9am to 1pm and
5:15pm to 9pm, respectively. They main reason for using a 24-hour clock,
is because you are scheduled around the clock.
Lectures are usually during daylight hours, but labs can be found anywhere.
I'd estimate that over 96% of your scheduled blocks are in 4-hour blocks,
with the few remaining blocks in 2-hours segments. The 4-hour blocks start
at exact times around the clock, and go until the next block starts. The
start times are:
0100 (1am)
0500 (5am)
0900 (9am)
1300 (1pm)
1700 (5pm)
2100 (9pm)
The two-hour blocks start either at those times, or in the middle of them.
You'll almost always have at least two 4-hour blocks to sleep every day.
The climax of your program may not obey this, though, and you may find yourself
learning to sleep in 4-hour periods.
The policy is quite strict! You need 90% attendance in order to pass
a course. The 80-89% range requires course director approval, a written and
approved excuse, and makeup work. If you finish a course with less than 80%
attendance, you fail and have no possible remedy, you will have to take
the course again at your cost.
If you're more than 15 minutes late, you're marked absent for the 2-hour block.
Any 4-hour block will have a break in the middle, and will take a second attendance
afterwards (though they may be sneaky and take attendance at the end of class).
This means that you really need to be on time!
Don't despair though. I had a terrible time with attendance before Full Sail, and
yet I graduated with a 98% attendance rate. If you're smart about it, and you
don't spend too much time partying or otherwise impairing yourself (a popular activity for
too many students), you'll be just fine. Most course directors are understanding,
as long as you are sure to keep them in the loop; communication is key!
Having the support of your peers is also helpful here. I was close to the attendance
fail point on an occasion or two, and my classmates helped me pass by making sure
I was there on time. I frequently saw people calling other classmates that weren't
in class, making sure they're awake or seeing if there's a reason they'll be late.
The industries that Full Sail teaches are all quite strict about promptness. Full
Sail further helps prepare you for the real world by having this unique scheduling system.
The most critical factors the faculty use are roughly:
Obviously, the better you perform in 16mm, the better your chances in
receiving your desired position in 35mm... this makes perfect sense;
nobody will ever give you a raise because you slacked, hoping that you'll
suddenly start performing, to the contrary, they'll give you a raise only
if you show how much you can do with little - a basic fact of life.
The interview is also a chance for the faculty to get a feel for who you are.
This may well be the first time they've had a chance to meet you. If
you show up with worn out jeans and a dirty shirt, they'll definitely
extrapolate from that. Look like you belong where you're trying. I had
both 'Unit Production Manager' and 'Director of Photography' portfolios
being reviewed. When I showed up in a tie, what would the logical preference
be? UPM. And that's what I was made.
Think of it like the popular TV show, Survivor. How do you win?
Preparation, planning, participation, alliances, cooperation, teamwork, skill, and cunning.
How do you not win? Make it clear that you're playing to win, try to illuminate
your peers, burn bridges, not participate, be a jerk, or otherwise draw unfavorable
attention to yourself.
Los Angeles isn't just a city, it's a metropolis! It's quite possible to
drive two hours on one interstate, and still be in the city. In fact, the drive
south to San Diego is almost entirely metro. Therefore, it's more than just a
matter of being in the Los Angeles Metro Area.
For this reason, I've edited a map from Yahoo Maps to highlight areas where you'll
be near more production opportunities. If you happen to be graduating with millions
of dollars in the bank, you ought to look into the gap between tho two primary sections.
Otherwise, the area with the purple tint will be your best bet.
I really enjoy the northern ideal living area; Burbank. Most of the studios
have relocated north of the Hollywood mountain into what the locals call The Valley. You
won't be working in a studio when you move out there though, so you may want to avoid the
congestion they create. The one interstate that crosses the Hollywood mountain is the 101
(seen as the orange line), and is prone to get extremely congested.
If you're going to be pursuing the production route, most of your work will most likely be
not only south of the Hollywood mountains, but closer to I-10. This area is more
industrial and cheaper to work in, which atracts a lot of the small independent
My personal preference is Glendale; the eastern strip that connects The Valley to
the Hollywoods. In the middle of the huge, polluted, crowded,
metropolis, you'll find the beautiful Glendale. The city has one of the lowest crime
rates in the Los Angeles Metro Area and has a nice non-metro feel to it (closer to
what you'd find in San Francisco). Additionally, Glendale connects the two production
hubs, making it easy to commute to either. Many freeways are easily accessible from Glendale,
and make it almost faster to reach I-10 than from Hollywood.
I'd probably argue any way you might finish this question.
After graduating in August 2002, I moved to Hollywood (Glendale, California, to be exact)
with Erik Wieder. I lived there
for several months, paying for bills with credit cards, amassing a huge
pile of debt. In just a couple months, my
Filmography was starting to
grow impressively.
Unfortunately, the nature of the business is to start as a volunteer
and work your way into positions and films that pay. This reality and
time it takes changes from position to position, person to person.
Unfortunately, most production jobs in Hollywood start this way and
take a while to build up.
I wasn't able to build it into something that paid my bills in the
time I could support myself with my 'nest egg' and on credit. There came a point where I made
the decision to stop what I was doing, return to family, and regroup.
I decided that I needed to refine my plan of attack, repair my
financial situation, and otherwise recover from the adventure.
I'm now in Gainesville, Florida, living with the beautiful woman that will
bear a ring as soon as I can afford one. I'm also building my reel,
something I didn't have in Hollywood (and that would have helped greatly).
I do plan to return to Hollywood. It may be a couple of years, but I will
The advice in this section reflects the result of my own investigation into
why I didn't make it the first time out. You've had the opportunity to learn
from my mistakes, and the realizations that have come out of it. When I return
to Hollywood, I'll follow my own advice, and I will make it.
If you have any questions or comments, please email me.
I'm always looking for new Q&A's for this page, and to further develop this advice
