The incredible journey
We had known for some time that the end of the Chinese Grand Prix would be lights out for a whole new race - a sort of 'Volcanic GP' as the entire Formula 1 paddock tried to get back to various homes across the globe.
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone's gag on our programme on Sunday that we would just stay in China for the foreseeable future and make Shanghai the new home of F1 filled no one with much joy.
So, Sunday night rolls around, the BBC team gather in the hotel dining room and our boss Mark Wilkin informs us that our scheduled departure is indeed cancelled, there is no confirmation yet that there will be a flight soon and we'll just sit it out.
Our hotel offered a buffet-style dinner and, moments after the news about our (lack of) travel plans, I sauntered over to where we were eating with a plate piled high with pork and potato wedges. As a few team members reminded me about my new-found health kick, I blamed the shock and duly tucked in.
To be honest it was a slight shock, actually. We had all heard the rumours that some people were being offered flights to get them home in mid-May but you always believe these things are just tales being spread by doom-mongers and you'll be just fine.
The next thing that struck me was that people were just desperate to travel. Somewhere. Anywhere.
It was almost as if sitting in a hotel waiting for news that UK airspace was open was a waste of time. There were rumours of people heading to Dubai as they didn't want to be part of the 5000+ F1 community heading out of Shanghai, stories of flights to Doha, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, even New York, as people clearly thought moving was progress.
We stayed put and I was resigned to the fact we were in China for as long as it took. Then we got a call. An F1 contact had us on a plane that evening! I scuttled upstairs, packed and prepared and grabbed a quick sleep before the 4am departure to freedom.
At 3.30am my phone buzzed. The message read: "Sorry, the flight this morning is no longer an option." Hope dashed, back to Bed-fordshire.
The following day was a mix of eating, snoozing, reading my gripping 'Jack Reacher' novel, blog writing, Twittering and keeping my fingers extremely tightly crossed. And later that day my positive thinking seemed to pay off. Our carrier, Lufthansa, was going to run the flight scheduled for 24 hours after ours was due to leave - and they would honour our bookings!
Now, there is always something odd about breaking up a team. We think the unit that produces your F1 output is a pretty tight group. We travel the world, work long hours, spend more time with each other than our actual families, and there is very rarely so much as a cross word between us.
However, this time the unit had to be split.
Unfortunately, because of the complexity of our operation, a number of our team-mates were not booked with the same carrier - so they were unable to travel with us. It was a very odd, rather unpleasant sensation driving off and leaving them in a Shanghai suburb.
However, one thing tempering our sadness was that we knew the chance of returning to the hotel later that night were more than a little on the high side. We'd been told German airspace was still closed and we were only going to the airport "just in case" the flight was on.
So, at 6.30pm Chinese time, our adventure began as we took to the incredibly busy, fast and at times seemingly lawless roads of Shanghai.
Lee McKenzie's taxi heads to the airport
Ninety minutes later we arrived at Pudong Airport where we were told... precisely nothing. The information board informed us that there would be news at 9.30pm. So we went for dinner... but the restaurant was shut. So we wandered to a bar... but it, too, was about to shut. We saw a darts board and thought the despair was over (shame 5 live's David Croft wasn't with us to commentate!), but the darts were "broken", we were told.
So, we settled for a fast-food restaurant and started the wait. And it was at this point that I started to realise how serious the situation could become. We met some students from Glamorgan University who had been thrown off their plane after it was on the runway four days previously, put up in a hotel at the airport that they described as "pretty rank", had no money to spend on sightseeing or having a good time... and were told they could be flown home by 10 May.
The students eventually slunk off, 9.30 came and went, no news. Suddenly, mid-chip, there was a cheer from the check-in hall upstairs. We were allowed to check in for the flight. Cue a frantic grabbing of bags and a couple of whoops not out of place in Ritzy's nightclub in the late '90s. It was happening!
Well, it was until we arrived at the departure gate. By now, it was approaching midnight. The airport was quiet but gate D71 was deserted. No staff, few other passengers and more importantly, no plane on the stand.
The clock ticked past our scheduled departure time. Some slept, others read, VT producer Sunil bought a chocolate panda. Then about 10 flight crew members sauntered past, Sunil giving them a standing ovation. A plane had been towed to the gate and only a little later than planned we were on!
Around 2am, our flight to Europe took off!
Now, China is seven hours ahead of the UK so, despite being on the plane for 12 hours, we were actually making our approach to Frankfurt the same morning. I'll admit that outside the window it was a hazy, smoggy view of Europe but I'm really not sure if I was looking at clouds or volcanic ash.
I'm really not sure if I was looking at clouds or volcanic ash
The pilot came over the radio.
"Good morning ladies and gentleman. We're going to change our flight path. The usual slow descent would mean staying in the ash cloud for longer, so instead we're going to stay at cruising altitude for longer and then descend much more quickly so we spend less time in the ash cloud. But we're pretty sure we'll be all right".
What? Pretty sure? We speculated that this was a lost in translation moment... Gulp!
As the pilot promised, we remained high and then dropped at the last possible moment through the clouds into a smooth, fast landing. Upon arrival the purser sounded as shocked as anyone over the Tannoy: "Well, we actually made it ladies and gentlemen!"
So, we were in Europe. But what would be next. Well, my vote was breakfast but I was overruled by those wanting to plan the next step. Logically, it would be a train to Calais.
Mark the editor and Anne the production manager braved the queue while Matt, one of the editors, spent £3 on the Times newspaper and we tried to make it feel like a school exchange trip by purchasing Hollywood gum and Ritter Sport.
Thirty minutes later Mark offered us a thumbs down through the glass window of the train office. Apparently you had to book to take the trains and there was a few days waiting list which was no good for us. It also seemed the pressure was getting to people. As the desperate travelers crowded around the train staffs desks, one man was heard to shout at the customers: "I am not a supermarket!" No-one dared do a 'bleep' noise for a laugh.
Hotels in Frankfurt were being furtively mentioned, but then we got wind that there was the possibility of some hire cars. Again, Anne took on the role of chief investigator while the airport floor became a temporary dining table.
Three modest-sized hire cars could indeed be located. The next challenge was filling them with 13 people and luggage. We all squeezed in and left the airport by lunchtime.
The 600km+ trip to the ferries was great fun. Our car led the convoy because we boasted 'Mappo', aka Richard the director. He seems to own maps that cover every square inch of the world (apart from Malaysia - he had a rare shocker there!). So Mappo led the way as we crossed through Germany, Belgium and France.
We stopped for lunch in a German service station, where I suddenly felt quite at home as I was greeted by a gaggle of Norfolk boys. Their plan had been to get to Prague for a stag do. From what I could gather they'd headed in that general direction, driven till they'd run out of time, turned around and headed back. In a van limited to 60mph on the autobahn!
However, they were in good spirits, as you'd expect from supporters of the greatest football team in the world who'd just won the trophy they all want - promotion from League One!
We paid 50c to use the toilet. We then continued on our merry way.
Past Brugge, through the flatlands of Europe, around Dunkirk, and to the ferry port.
Here it had clearly been a stressful week as TV crews captured the scene, and it was obvious from talking to everyone from the Welsh Commonwealth Bowls Team to various other families that we had got away lightly. Some of the stories were pretty hardcore.
Luckily the ferry companies were laying on extra services, we pretty quickly got our tickets and then all got to re-live our childhoods that almost to a person were spent on the Pride of Dover, it seemed.
We made the most of the ferry's hospitality with fish and chips for £5, watched the One Show on the TV, and eventually all piled out on deck, where we were rewarded with an incredible sunset and eventually the white cliffs of Dover!
The journey was almost over. All that was left ahead of us was a coach journey to central London. Ironically, the first problem we had after a few thousand miles hitch-free was that the M20 was closed. We knew we were home!
By 11.30pm the adventure was finally over as we all shuffled in to our houses. I can't say any of us would have wanted to spend more than a day getting home, but somehow the trip out to the next grand prix in Spain just won't be quite as special.
And while we made it, spare a thought for our colleagues, who are among the people still stuck in China.

Interesting read Jake. Although this seems bad from other reports from friends and on the News you seem to have had a fairly smooth ride. What about all the BBC equipment? Where are all the camera's etc? Surely they can't fit into the back of three hire cars!

Hi Jake, thanks for the update ! Quite a journey. Glad you made it back safe and sound.

Another great blog Jake - thanks for posting it.
I was also stranded by the ash cloud. Not as far afield as China - it was Vienna for me. But my journey was as fraught with uncertainty and uncomfortableness as yours was! Mine took 60 hours.
I blogged too - http://richardmccrossan.blogspot.com. Won't get as many views as yours but I think the story is as readworthy anyway!
There's even a video in there of the train I had to take from Vienna to Frankfurt.
I sense a bandwagon might start about Jonathan. I don't want to jump on it, but I would like to make one suggestion that I hope is constructive - please ask him to stop talking over and interrupting Martin. He's moved from radio so it's understandable that he's used to filling every single momemt of air time, but he doesn't need to do that as much on TV and he seems to interrupt Martin an awful lot.
Keep up the great work Jake!

Come on Jake, spill the beans, how much did the Beeb end up paying for those Hire cars? I'm betting we are talking thousands of Euros! - You should have done a "top gear" and purchased three old bangers from the local rag, that would have been a lot more fun and I dare say a lot cheaper! I can just imagine you crammed into some clapped out VW Beetle.

The volcano is spewing out a new ash cloud at the moment, shutting down parts of Scandanavia. I doubt it'll affect the teams getting to Spain, but that's not the thing that concerns me. There WILL be ash (albeit very low density) in the air for the race.
Formula 1 cars use some of the most powerful piston engines on the planet. They require massive amounts of air for cooling and a fair bit to run as well. If aerospace companies haven't tested their systems in volcanic ash, you can be certain F1 teams haven't.
This will, therefore, be the first time such extreme engines have operated under these kinds of conditions. If any do cut out, it's not a big deal (they're not at 20,000 feet), but it could change race dynamics.
I would also argue the FIA should suspend any restrictions on engine replacement after Spain in such cases where engine failure is the result of, or related to, the presence of volcanic ash.

Yes, you were very lucky to get home so fast. But thoughts must be spared for those stranded alone, with no money to change their plans as opportunities arise. Hopefully with air travel now back to normal, everyone will be able to return to the place they call home in the next few days.
By the time you all hit Barcelona, I should be back in NY and can tell you right now that I will sorely miss the BBC coverage. It really is excellent. People should stop whining about details and appreciate just how extensive and entertaining the coverage you provide for us week after week is. And for that I thank you.

I understand that Ross Brawn and Sam Micheal were winners of the "Volacanic Grand Prix". Will you be doing a trophy presentation in Barcelona? I gather from this blog that the 5live crew do not travel with you. I read from Twitter that they took the Dubai/Nice route, and came in about two hours after you.
Any way glad you made it back. Let's spare a thought for the thousands of people still stranded away from home.

For the past few days i've been trying to send a message to Jake and the F1 team and have found no 'easy way', so i have just registered to write down the idea that has been running through my head since quali 1 on saturday. but first i want to say sorry to jake for not even reading his blog. i did, however, read Schloom's comment and I totally agree with what he says. for ages i used to think it was just me being over critical towards his commentating style, but i can see there are others who dislike it too (i watched the 1st race of the season in poland and i can tell you people that Legard is a GOD compared to the way they commentate and produce their show...i was ripping my hair out at the bias they showed towards Kubica). On the other hand the rest of the F1 team are so brilliant that i can forgive JL's short falls.
i would like to give a suggestion in response to the wing-mirror/visibility issues that you guys have been talking about for the past few weeks.
why don't the teams get rid of the wing mirrors totally and replace them with pin cameras facing towards the rear (like the cameras we see in the front wings/cockpit), install an iphone/itouch type LCD screen inside the drivers helmet (maybe above their vizor), hook it all up; now the drivers will see more than half a letter box in their rear!! surely the F1 teams have the means to do this, or does the FIA have a regulation against this?!
Huge Fan,
Rob, Croydon

You actually care about keeping the audience in touch with what is going on. I wish more presenters could be like you.
The team look so happy and motivated (even if Lee hides under a blanket!) and it really does reflect on the quality of the Formula One programmes.
I love how the cameras occasionally pan out to show the F1 camera crew walking down the pitlane. Not only does this give a more 'honest' approach it makes us appreciate how much effort goes into what most of us take for granted each race weekend.
Have a well deserved rest (and a chance to celebrate Norwich's promotion) and see you in Spain. Volcanic ash permitting.

Hi Jake
Thanks for the blog and the photos. Along with the tweets and the 5Live guys' pictures, I've found your adventures very amusing and entertaining. The comments about needing to travel somewhere and not just sit still make sense. Here in the UK, living under the Heathrow flight path, it felt strangely calming. Can't go anywhere. Can't even do much for the poor s ods stranded. Can only enjoy the silence. Didn't last long, did it?
I have to point out one thing however. Blogs, Tweets, Photos. The central obsession, even more than the next form of transport, seemed to be FOOD! LOL. I know an army's supposed to run on it's stomach. It would seem BEEB F1 does too. Oh and I'd suggest you guys had a logistical head start to your journey, considering the normal logistics you have to come up with on a fortnightly basis. I never realised quite how many unsung heroes you have behind the scene however.
A big shout out to the guys left behind. It sounds like things are getting back to normal reasonably quickly so hopefully they'll all be home soon - if not straight to Barcelona. You guys planning any fallback strategy if the winds prevail from the North and the mountain decides to sneeze again?

Is it just me or is 2010 really sorting out the men from the boys? Lets face it all F1 drivers are the best but some seem to have that extra edge (killer instinct?). To me there are just 4 haves: Hamilton, Vettel, Rosberg & Alonso. Note there aren't 2 in any 1 team.

It depends what qualities you're talking about. If killer instinct = the ability to win races, then Jenson is ahead of Lewis. (I say this not just as a McLaren fan in general, but also as a Lewis supporter).
As for Mercedes, its too early to tell. What will you say in the second half of the season IF schuey starts to dominate Rosberg? Too early to tell for that team.
As for Ferrari, I'd probably agree with you (as much as I like Felipe).

That is probably the least interesting journey back from China that I've ever read about. You had to wait for a plane, which eventually came and then took you to Germany. Then you had some plush cars laid on for you to get you to Calis and then you got on a ferry. Wow, that really is an epic journey of grand proportions.
It seems to me that since blogs have become part of sports journalism it is now fine for the journalists to write bland descriptions of how their days panned out which usually includes what they ate for breakfast and very little insight to sport.
Now if you had had to get a train to Ulaanbaatar, swapped your camera for some Mongolian horses which took you across the steppe and into Russia, where you hitched a lift in the back of some rickety old soviet army trucks, then had to sleep for 5 days in the Moscow embassy awaiting clearance, after that taking various modes of transport through Europe, including an old 3 wheeled Trabant while in the former East Germany I might just have thought your journey, incredible.

You can think of BnkToTheFuture.com as an online Angel Investor Network / Dragon's Den / Shark tank where businesses pitch their companies online and thousands of investors are the Angels or Dragon investors.
We want you to succeed as we earn fees when you raise your finance, but ultimately only the crowd decide if you get funded by voting with their wallets.
The crowd can be anything from a qualifying professional investor who wants to invest as little as $100 and build a large portfolio, to a venture capital fund, or a rich investor with $1m that wants to invest a larger sum in your company, and everything in between.
We are a global Equity CrowdFunding platform that allows qualifying investors to invest in companies like yours online through our platform.
This allows you to raise finance from a 'crowd' of large and small investors who can pool money and digital currencies together, bringing a new source of money for your business that never existed before.
Traditional 'rich' investors can invest as normal, but now other qualifying investors can co-invest in a safe and secure environment where both the investor and your business benefit from the additional protection of raising finance through our platform.
- Businesses choose us because we have the most global solution for raising finance and more sources of investors than anywhere else.
- BnkToTheFuture.com brings in additional money globally alongside traditional angel investment, it is not an alternative, so why turn down more money?
- Millions of dollars and all other leading currencies are invested through our platform by the crowd. Rather than pitching to just a small number of offline angel investors, BnkToTheFuture.com brings in extra money on top of those traditional offline investors money.
- At the time of writing this 98% of the businesses that pitch on our platform walk away with some form of money and 47% achieve at least their minimum investment goal, so why not stack the odds in your favour?
- We pool all your investors together into one nominee structure, meaning that you do not have to handle paperwork for hundreds of investors and you can use our platform to keep them updated with a few clicks simply, easily and compliantly. You deal with one investor and we take care of all the legal work.
- By having a deadline and the ability for people to see who else is investing, it makes investors put the money in the bank faster. BnkToTheFuture.com moves investors from 'I'm interested in investing' to 'I just invested'.
- As everyone invests with the correct legal procedure we have time stamped digital records, meaning investors are unlikely come back and sue you later for not understanding what they invested in. This happens frequently when raising finance on your own. We make sure investors understand the risk, everything is compliant and the deal is fair, preventing arguments and problems.
- Many businesses that pitch on our platform attract press, PR and marketing at the same time as raising finance.
- An investor is 85% more likely to watch your CrowdFunding video on BnkToTheFuture.com than if you email them a lengthy business plan. They are 63% more likely to invest if you pitch correctly in that video, so again, why not stack the odds in your favour?
- We qualify investors from all around the world and investors register with us in order to find and invest in businesses just like yours every day. On our homepage you can see thousands of registered investors, so why not apply now and you might be able to expose your business to them?
No win no fee - if you don't raise anything, you don't pay us
If you do raise funds, we charge a 5% success fee on all funds raised, applied if and only if you successfully raise funds.
Any investment funds raised are subject to a fixed legal/administration success fee of $2000, applied if and only if you successfully raise investment funds.
If you pay investors dividends or sell your company and distribute funds through our platform then we administer payments for 5% of the funds distributed through our platform to investors.
We have a 'no-win, no fee' structure. We have no up-front costs. Should you need help getting your business investment ready or need help creating the perfect pitch video, we have supporting services with separate agreements. To launch a pitch on our website, there is no fee, but you must apply first.
We have several funds under management that invest in companies listed on BnkToTheFuture.com that meet the funds criteria and meet a minimum funding goal depending on the fund.
In some cases we are able to invest in your company too through one of our funds.
Here are 7 platform features that make people choose us to raise finance:
- RAISE MONEY EVEN IF YOU MISS YOUR GOAL - We built a solution for you that means you almost always get some form of money no matter what.
- INVESTORS ARE MORE LIKELY TO INVEST - We estimate that when sending investors business plans through email, over 85% of investors don't invest because they cannot be bothered to read your business plan. It is much easier for them to view your pitch on our platform and it gets a higher conversion rate.
- MORE WAYS TO INVEST - All new investors get free digital currency to invest in your company. We then allow people to invest more using all the major currencies globally through bank transfer, card payment, and even Bitcoin. How hard is it to offer people a free investment in your business paid for by BnkToTheFuture.com?
- YOU ONLY GET ONE SHAREHOLDER - We have no interest in taking shares in your company just for raising finance, but we set up a very tax efficient structure where we hold your investors interests for them, meaning you get all the benefits of only have one legal shareholder with all the benefits of having lots of investors to support your business, reducing a huge amount of admin work for your company while reaping the benefits.
- BUILT TO GO VIRAL - With a few clicks, all your Gmail, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Email contacts can find out about your pitch and we even offer them a free small investment paid for by BnkToTheFuture.com. Qualifying investors are then able to invest more, while the rest support you.
- LEGAL PROTECTION FOR YOUR COMPANY - If you want to be the next big business then you will need to remain compliant & protect your company. We prevent you having to pay huge legal fees, yet you will still have optimised legal agreements benefiting your business and all of your new investors.
- MULTIPLE SOURCES OF MONEY - We allow investors to invest in both new digital & traditional currencies globally, which means increasing your money pool exponentially. There are global investors and billions of dollars worth of digital currencies out there (Such as Bitcoin) waiting to invest in your business. We take all qualifying funds, but pay you one simple payment in the currency of your choice.

BNK TO THE FUTURE Limited is registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA Licence No. 1189274).
In August 2012 BnkToTheFuture.com also had the public pages of our website approved as a financial promotion by an FCA authorised firm where we had to legally verify all information on the public pages of our website at the time and go through a rigorous verification and due diligence process. This was approved by a top 20 audit & accountancy firm Crowe Clark Whitehill.
We take your trust very seriously.
We do NOT charge investors to invest or back your pitch. We align our fee structure with investors returns.
We charge investors a 5% fee on dividends payed in the future, and 5% if you exit your company.
Upon investing investors may incur a payment processing fee levied by the payment processing merchant. This will be stated upon investing if this is the case & the exact amount before they back or invest in your pitch.
We will only ask you for very basic information about your business at this point, so you do not need to share any confidential information. As we deal with thousands of businesses we are unable to sign NDA forms as we often find you may be doing something similar to another business raising finance with us or applying for finance.
We treat your information as confidential and take your trust very seriously.
Venture Capital (VC) is normally only for businesses that have achieved a lot already and are in a position to raise millions. VC firms normally wait for you to have built a perfect product which generates millions in sales or has millions of users/customers already. If you are not at this stage yet, then Venture Capital is very unlikely.
Having said that, we are not a substitute for VC funding should you require millions. You can raise finance through the crowd at the same time so you can benefit from both the good points of VC finance and Crowd Finance. We would help structure your company so that your new investors do not get in the way of the VC deal. More and more businesses are doing raising finance through both the crowd and VC's and we have a process to support this and prevent you putting all your eggs in one basket, just in case no VC funding is secured.
Most businesses that raise finance through our platform also intend to raise venture capital funding as their business grows, so we would love to hear from you if this is the case.
We raise early stage and growth finance for businesses incorporated all around the globe. We have a real specialisation in financial innovation, but also consider other businesses.
Your business must be for-profit and have the ambition to sell your company in the future or float it on a stock market. If you are not willing to do this then it is not right for equity investors as you are unable to offer them a return on investment.
If you are a mature company, we do not raise finance for businesses that are going through financial difficulty or are going through a complicated restructuring process that the crowd-investors will not easily understand.
We are unable to raise finance for political campaigns, 'fund my life' projects, lifestyle businesses deeply dependent upon one person's personal brand & skills, charity's or not for profit organisations.
If you fit our criteria then we would love to see your application.
We accept both startup businesses and mature companies.
If you are a Startup, we suggest that the right time to use us is when you can demonstrate your product and it is already created. We are happy to accept earlier stage prototypes, but you will need mockups and some form of prototype to demonstrate to us before pitching to investors on our platform.
Absolutely. We are interested in your business no matter where it is from. As long as it meets our compliance standards and requirements we will setup a special entity to raise finance for your company anyway.
We would love to hear about your business. Everything you tell us is confidential and there is no-obligation to raise finance with us afterwards. The form should take you no more than 5 minutes as it is very fast and simple.
98% of the businesses that pitch on our site walk away with some form of money and 47% achieve at least their minimum investment goal, so it is well worth exploring further.
Once complete, we will contact you either by email/phone/Skype, so it is very important that you leave your correct contact details.

Williams' big fourth quarter lifts Bucks to winJan 3, 2008 - 4:35 AM By Rick Menning PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer
MIAMI (Ticker) - Mo Williams and the Milwaukee Bucks took advantage of the lowly Miami Heat and ended their road woes.
Williams scored 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Bucks to a 103-98 victory over the Heat on Wednesday, ending their nine-game road losing streak.
The fifth-year point guard shot 9-of-14 from the floor and added nine assists for Milwaukee, which picked up just its third road win of the season and first in Miami since 2003.
"We moved the ball around well and did the things that you have to do to win in this league," Williams said. "We just have to realize what it takes to win and build on it."
Dwyane Wade had 27 points and eight assists and Ricky Davis scored 23 for Miami, which has lost five straight and trailed throughout the fourth quarter.
"They went to their zone and that stymied us for about three or four minutes and, during that time, they really opened up their lead," Miami coach Pat Riley said. "We aren't able to sustain an effort hard enough or long enough defensively."
Milwaukee went on a 15-3 run to take the lead for good at 80-68 with 8:38 to play. Williams, who scored six points during that run, hit his final five shots to hold off Miami's comeback attempt.
"We handled the pressure," Williams said. "They came at us pretty hard at the end, but we hung in there and got the win. This was a real good sign tonight."
With Dorell Wright joining Shaquille O'Neal and Jason Williams on the bench with injuries, the Heat staged a mild rally late in the game but could not overcome the Bucks' consistent offensive attack in the second half.
Miami trailed, 95-81, with 2:48 remaining, but a 10-2 run brought it within striking distance.
However, Williams ended any hopes of a comeback, hitting a clutch jumper with 50 seconds remaining after Miami had pulled within six at 97-91 with just over a minute left.
"It can't get any worse," Davis said. "You've just got to stay positive and keep working."
Making matters worse, Wade left the game briefly in the fourth quarter with a sore right shoulder as the Bucks maintained their double-digit advantage.
"He's really sore. He's doing everything he can do out there," Riley said. "There's just a lot of adversity right now."
It was a battle of two of the worst teams in the league. Both the Heat and Bucks had lost six of their last seven, with Miami having dropped 10 of its 14 games at the American Airlines Arena this season.
But the Bucks came out on top by shooting 52 percent (38-of-73) as six players scored in double figures.
"We had a lot of energy," Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "All five guys on the floor were passing well and rebounding well, and in that fourth quarter it made a big difference. We showed some intensity tonight."
"We just need to keep fighting," said Heat forward Udonis Haslem, who added 10 points. "It's not just one game, it's a lot of games that we are not proud of the way we played. It's difficult."

Forward-looking information include statements regarding expected future drilling results, production and expenses. Though management believes that these expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, they can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

Please note that these estimates are of non-proved reserves or resources and are, by their very nature, more speculative than estimates of proved resources and reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risks. Now with that, I'd like to turn the call over to Bob Herlin, Evolution's Chief Executive Officer. Bob? Robert S. Herlin Thanks, Lisa, and good morning to everyone. I'd like thank you for joining us on our fiscal second quarter call. We earlier filed our Form 10-Q and yesterday evening, announced our quarterly results and news release and I assume that everyone listening has accessed one or the other above. Excuse me, the Q is not filed, but the release is out. Since detailed numbers are available, Sterling and I are going to combine our remarks to key operating results and update some future plans so forth on -- with me today is Sterling McDonald, our CFO; also David Joe, our Controller. Sterling is going to review key financial results and then we'll take your questions.

Collateral Beauty Movie Review :
I was just stunned by the disdain negative surveys of the individuals who feel qualified for trust that motion picture ought to be acted, composed, made up in their own way.Sure, Collateral Beauty is most certainly not. It is a charming amazement to me, however a baffle without a doubt to those leaving the motion picture theater as yet asking themselves what that "Security Beauty" is all about.Too late, folks, attempt it again in another life, if any.For all the others with a touching feeling of "being", please go, and appreciate… acting feelings photography expressions truth. At the point when a fruitful New York publicizing official endures an extraordinary catastrophe, he withdraws from life. While his concerned companions attempt frantically to reconnect with him, he looks for answers from the universe by composing letters to Love, Time and Death. Yet, it's not until his notes bring startling individual reactions that he starts to see how these constants interlock in an existence completely lived, and how even the most profound misfortune can uncover snapshots of importance and magnificence .Now along comes "Guarantee Beauty" to ruin everything by draining loss for terrible bromides and shabby tears. Not that this knockoff Hallmark exceptional doesn't make a special effort to disguise its absurd aims and also the impressive obligation it owes to such occasional chestnuts as "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life." Director David Frankel (canine cry-a-thon "Marley and Me") and essayist Allan Loeb (the copyist behind such DVD deal canister tenants as "Money Street: Money Never Sleeps," "The Dilemma" and "Shake of Ages") give a lot of favor window dressing, including a stellar cast and a dream Manhattan trimmed with twinkly Christmas lights, pine appendages and earth free curbside snow.

Hello everyone. I have a security-contstraint set up with <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> and JDBCRealm, and I have SSL configured in server.xml. Both the JDBCRealm and SSL are working, just not quite as I'd like. Currently, when the user first enters my site (/mysite/index.html), he is asked to authenticate himself. When the user requests a page through SSL (.../location=https:8443/mysite/../Registration.jsp), he is again asked to authenticate himself. What I want is: 1) The user to be able to access index.html (and a few other pages) withought authentication. I'd rather not have to enter every page individually under <web-resource-collection>. *2) The user to not have to re-authenticate himself when he selects to go to Registration.jsp via SSL. Thank you in advance, Dmitry --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Sign-up for Video Highlights of 2002 FIFA World Cup

In the summer of 2010 the Norwegian D2-magazine asked me to do a photo shoot on Chinese counterfeits of designer items. The perfection of copying those designer items has come so far, that you simply can't distinguish those from the originals anymore. The article maintains that the counterfeits are creating an enormous harm to the industry and also sponsoring the mafia.
I was called in straight from the beginning of the creative process. The art direction wished to keep it simple and place the style within the advertising world. My challenge was to keep the beauty and ad-perfection of the counterfeited items, but still show them with a slightly mean or bitter twist. A James Bond-watch became a scorpion, the Hermes bag a bitter smiling clown, and finally the world renowned Mont Blanc pen a leg of a poisoning spider.

Sounds Around Town
By PETER WATROUS
Published: December 14, 1990
Chamber Improvisations
Arcado, Knitting Factory, 47 East Houston Street, Manhattan, (212) 219-3055. One of the best small ensembles to come out of the late 1980's, Arcado works like a chamber group, but includes intense improvisations. The members -- Mark Dresser on bass, Mark Feldman on violin, Hank Roberts on cello -- swoop in and out of written sections that call to mind European classical composing as well as all sorts of other sources. The improvisations are American, and the group has a spectacular blend. The show tomorrow night starts at 9; tickets are $10. A Gospel Bargain
"Gospel, Africa and the Blues," S.O.B.'s, 204 Varick Street, Manhattan, (212) 243-4940. A triple bill built for a recession: for $15, a listener gets the deep gospel fervor of Clarence Fountain and the Five Blind Boys, the blues-based secular eclecticism of the Holmes Brothers, and the soft folk of the Ugandan singer Samite. Mr. Fountain is a certified house rocker; the Holmes Brothers toss be-bop lines played on pedal steel guitar into the gospel harmonies and blues and soul songs, and Samite uses acoustic instruments to create a gentle mood. The show on Sunday night starts at 8. Virtuoso With Quirks
Dorothy Donegan, Fortune Garden Pavilion, 209 East 49th Street in Manhattan, (212) 753-0101. Dorothy Donegan is one of jazz's great eccentrics, a musician fearless when it comes to improvising with tunes; she'll play a European classical run in the middle of a Duke Ellington piece, or throw in some boogie-woogie to mix things up. She's also a virtuoso, so her eclecticism is neither glib nor a mask. She's one of jazz's great undiscovered minds, and when she turns to glare at the audience, she's a terrific comedian as well. Shows tonight and tomorrow are at 8, 9:30 and 11; Sunday's shows are at 7, 8:30 and 10 P.M. THere is no cover charge; the minimum charge is $2o for the first two sets and $15 for the third set.

Thomas Edison declared that genius is 1 per cent inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration, a fact he discovered while inventing the volcano. Work up a healthy sweat with today's Groupon: for $20, you get four Zumba classes at Zumba with Joel (a $60 value). The one-hour classes are valid at Studio Fitness Windsor on Rhodes Drive.
Zumba, a lively Latin-dance fitness program, uses a combination of dance moves, cardio-interval, and resistance routines to sculpt muscles and burn up to 800 calories per hour. Encouraged to teach the rollicking classes by Zumba founder Beto Perez, instructor Joel makes fitness achievement a more musical and entertaining process than going toe-to-toe with a steam-powered hammer. Neither a partner nor any previous dance ability is required for Zumba's basic salsa, merengue, cumbia, samba, and hip-hop moves, galvanized by the classes' upbeat music tracks. Hip swayers of all ages and abilities can take the alternating slow and fast beats integral to the program at their own pace, gradually building up strength, endurance, and the solution to Fermat's Last Theorem.
Zumba with Joel
Within the sunny, wood-floored studio, groups of exercisers tone muscles and liquidate fat cells to the tune of toe-tapping Latin and International rhythms. Helmed by Joel, a seasoned fitness instructor with 18 years of industry experience, Zumba classes trick your body into burning calories, setting it in motion with heart-pumping beats to elicit a mixture of high-energy movements and dance steps. A strong proponent for proactive lifestyles, Joel can also use his intimate knowledge of nutrition and exercise to help clients meet fitness goals such as losing weight or training to dig a hole to China with their bare hands.

Wrong form on Facebook pageAsked by bridgerjones on July 02, 2016 at 12:10 AM
When I choose a form to display on the Facebook tab, it shows the wrong form.
How can I sort this out?
You can embed forms to your Facebook page by following this guide:
Can you please provide us with a link to the Facebook page where you are trying to embed the form, so we can take a closer look if there is anything wrong on the page itself?
Please also let us know which form it is you are trying to embed, and which form seems to be showing there instead.
We look forward to your response with more details. Thank you.
Hi Boris, thanks.
The link to the tab on Facebook is: https://www.facebook.com/bridgerjonesdotcom/app/684336108254110/
The form I am trying to embed is: https://form.jotformeu.com/bridgerjones/-order-bridger-jones
Perhaps the problems is that I had another jotform account linked to this FB page before?
Many thanks.
I am able to see currently on your Facebook page, the JotForm ID: "53095860095966" is integrated. The Form id :53095860095966" is created by the user "jukigo". And currently it is showing the status of the user "jukigo" as "Deleted".
I would suggest, please remove or disable that old JotForm from the Facebook page, and then try again.
If you still face issue, please feel free to revert back.
I have removed and disabled that form from the Facebook Page. Also the jukigo jotform account is now deleted.
Other than deleting the jotform app from the FB page, which I have done many times, is there something else that needs to be done?
Basically, the FB page doesn't seem able to "forget" the first Jotform account that it was connected to.
I have cleared your Form CACHE. But might be possible it is the CACHE issue of Facebook. I would request you, can you please try to create a new tab on your Facebook Page, and then embed your new Form on that new tab.
You can create a tab on your Facebook page according to the guide mentioned in below URL:
Also please confirm, have you already tried to remove old custom tab from Facebook page. Below is the article, how you can remove the Custom tab from Facebook page:
Please update us.
Many thanks,
I can confirm that I have removed the tab - then re-integrated with the desired Jotform form and account. It must be a problem on the FB end.
any thoughts?
I have cleared the CACHE again, and deleted your old Form: 53095860095966
Now the old Form has been removed from your Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/bridgerjonesdotcom/app/684336108254110/
So please try to integrate your new form again, and now hopefully it will successfully integrate.
Please update us the progress.
Seems sorted now. Thank you very much for your help.
