WASHINGTON – From summer to fall, David Keyes and his employees pack up his trailer, hitch it to his pickup and travel to farmer's markets in Harford County selling ice cream and cheeses made from his dairy cows' milk.
Although going on the road is sometimes grueling and eats into family time, Keyes, 50, might expand his cheese and ice cream business, separate from his 200-acre dairy operation in Havre de Grace, because it turns a profit — a sometimes elusive goal for farmers.
What made that profit possible was a unique program from the Harford County Marketing Cooperative. Keyes was one of 14 farmers to win a grant from the group designed to help farmers move toward financial viability and independence by rewarding innovative ideas to expand their businesses.
The idea for the cooperative, in existence since 2002, came from discussions about how the county could help farmers make more money from their goods, said John Sullivan, agricultural coordinator in the county office of economic development.
Last spring, Keyes received $2,600 from the nonprofit's pool of $25,000 and bought an ice-cream dipping cabinet and devoted some money toward advertising.
Keyes began selling cheeses made from his cows' milk about five years ago and ventured into ice cream in 2003. The cheese is made by an Amish man in Pennsylvania; a friend in Delaware makes the ice cream.
Initially, low milk prices and the thought of maintaining economic independence and control prompted Keyes to venture into direct retail.
Keyes, who knew of one other farm selling cheese in the county, thought, "If they can do it, then we can do it to," he said.
Although he said he's unsure how much money he made from his ice cream and cheese this year, Keyes said he's certain it is at least double what he could get commercially.
The $1,900 dipping cabinet Keyes bought with his grant stores three sizes of the 14 ice cream flavors he sells in 8-ounce cups, pints and quarts. He is not licensed to hand dip the ice cream, so it is sold in pre-packed containers. Keyes also sells three kinds of Colby and nine types of cheddar cheese.
Being a dairy farmer isn't easy, said Kate Dallam, a dairy farmer and president of the cooperative's nine-member board of directors. Typical dairy farms sell to cooperatives that work through brokers to sell their product to grocery store chains and other companies, she said. The money then is funneled in reverse order to the farmer.
"They say you can't sell milk unless you're selling cigarettes and gasoline," Dallam said.
Dallam started her own cheese-making business in January 2001, and operates Broom's Bloom Dairy, a retail store in Bel Air that sells locally-produced ice cream, cheese, vegetables and other products.
Dallam shares a kinship with fellow farmers, especially younger ones who are innovative in their grant proposals that come before the board each October.
"Sometimes all it takes is for someone to support your idea," she said.
Among the ideas the board has considered, Dallam said, were ice cream startups, tires for a cow manure spreading business, organic farming and a semen tank for cow embryos.
Awards are announced around February, said Bill Tharpe, board vice president. Requests last year were for more than $41,000, following the recent trend toward more requests for money than there is funding available, he said.
During the last two grant cycles, $25,000 was divided among grantees, whose requests ranged from $500 to $10,000. The cooperative likely will become more discriminating in the future, Tharpe said. The organization also is looking for state and federal aid to expand its funding.
To get a grant, farmers have to commit to the new aspect of their business for three years and only use the money for it. As a precaution, the cooperative writes the checks directly to the business providing the farmer with the necessary equipment or service.
Failing to meet the requirements or closing the business before the three years is up, means any unused funds must be repaid, Tharpe said. So far, no one has reneged on the rules.
"It's not like we're bankrolling these ideas," Dallam said. "When you get to the point where you're about to sell the farm there's not much we can do to help."
The number of Maryland farms has steadily decreased. According to the state's Agricultural Statistics Service, there were 12,100 farms last year, but 14,500 in 1994, a 16.5 percent decline. At the beginning of the 20th century there were 49,000 farms in Maryland. The 2002 Census of Agriculture said there were 683 farms in Harford County, fifth overall in the state.
The grants may not be much, Keyes said, but, "It's money we didn't have to spend ourselves. It makes a difference when you have to pay for everything yourself."
Keyes recently bought a 40-acre farm in Aberdeen, and leases the Havre de Grace farm. If he decides to expand his ice cream and cheese business, Keyes said, he'd likely have to scale back on working with his dairy cows.
Although not economically feasible, Keyes said, "I wouldn't mind if I could give the product away . . . it's the kids really, I see their eyes light up and they say, 'Ice cream.'"

In Reply to: Holden and Jay & Silent Bob posted by TrentReno on January 17, 2001 at 13:41:05:
I know that on some takes for just about any movie, it is shot at least 2 ways: 1 - long shot of all in scene, 2 - close-up of people on one side, & 3 - close-up of people on the other side. Makes invisible cutting easier. Also, sometimes, in a theatrical release, we see the whole scene, but then when it's adapted for TV or video, 1/3 of the image is lost due to the difference in aspect ratio. Sometimes to make up for the difference in aspect ratio, the scene is reworked to a close-up of one side & then cut to close-up to another side instead of the original shot of both sides.
I am not sure if this is the exact answer to your question, but it's definately possible.
Live Long & Prosper,

The Wire - The Complete Season 1-5 | Blu Ray | (01/06/2015)
from £43.99 | Saving you £66.00 (60.00%) | RRP
Season 1 From David Simon creator and co-writer of HBO's triple Emmy-winning mini-series The Corner this unvarnished highly realistic series follows a single sprawling drug and murder investigation in Baltimore. Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance where easy distinctions between good and evil and crime and punishment are challenged at every turn. Season one introduces two major groups of characters—the Baltimore police department and a drug dealing organization run by the Barksdale family. Season 2 In this season McNulty (Dominic West) has been demoted to harbour patrol Daniels (Lance Reddick) is in the police archive dungeon Prez (Jim True-Frost) is chafing in the suburbs and Greggs (Sonja Sohn) is stuck behind a desk. Meanwhile on the docks of the Baltimore harbour the rank and file scrounge for work and the union bosses take illegitimate measures to reinvigorate business but a horrific discovery is about to blow the whole port inside out. While the detail is on ice a new case begins. Season 3 Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets The Wire captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance where easy distinctions between good and evil and crime and punishment are challenged at every turn. Season 3 introduces Baltimore's local politicians and the upstart drug dealing Stanfield organization while continuing to examine the Barksdale Organization and the Baltimore Police Department. Season 4 With the fall of Barksdale and the ascent of young Marlo Stanfield as West Baltimore's drug king The Wire's fourth season continues to follow the money up the political ladder in the midst of a mayoral election that pits the black incumbent Clarence Royce against an ambitious white councilman Tommy Carcetti. Season 5 The Wire Season 5 concludes the award-winning TV series with a bang. The bodies are piling up in Homicide but funds for police work have been diverted to the schools. Meanwhile business is booming on the streets as the war between East and West Baltimore's drug kings reaches a new intensity. McNulty is drinking again. Bubs is clean again. Omar is back with a vengeance and Carcetti is struggling to make a difference as Mayor. After taking us through the streets the docks the corridors of power and the schools The Wire brings us to the Baltimore media where the successes and tragedies of all of our favourite characters become ammunition in the battle for circulation figures.

Lost: The Complete Seasons 1-6 | Blu Ray | (13/09/2010)
from £39.99 | Saving you £4.74 (10.60%) | RRP
Lost: Season One Along with Desperate Housewives, Lost was one of the two breakout shows of 2004. Mixing suspense and action with a sci-fi twist, it began with a thrilling pilot episode in which a jetliner traveling from Australia to Los Angeles crashes, leaving 48 survivors on an unidentified island with no sign of civilisation or hope of imminent rescue. That may sound like Gilligan's Island meets Survivor, but Lost kept viewers tuning in every Wednesday night--and spending the rest of the week speculating on Web sites--with some irresistible hooks (not to mention the beautiful women). First, there's a huge ensemble cast of no fewer than 14 regular characters, and each episode fills in some of the back story on one of them. There's a doctor; an Iraqi soldier; a has-been rock star; a fugitive from justice; a self-absorbed young woman and her brother; a lottery winner; a father and son; a Korean couple; a pregnant woman; and others. Second, there's a host of unanswered questions: What is the mysterious beast that lurks in the jungle? Why do polar bears and wild boars live there? Why has a woman been transmitting an SOS message in French from somewhere on the island for the last 16 years? Why do impossible wishes seem to come true? Are they really on a physical island, or somewhere else? What is the significance of the recurring set of numbers? And will Kate ever give up her bad-boy fixation and hook up with Jack? Lost did have some hiccups during the first season. Some plot threads were left dangling for weeks, and the "oh, it didn't really happen" card was played too often. But the strong writing and topnotch cast kept the show a cut above most network TV. The best-known actor at the time of the show's debut was Dominic Monaghan, fresh off his stint as Merry the Hobbit in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. The rest of the cast is either unknowns or "where I have I seen that face before" supporting players, including Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, who are the closest thing to leads. Other standouts include Naveen Andrews, Terry O'Quinn (who's made a nice career out of conspiracy-themed TV shows), Josh Holloway, Jorge Garcia, Yunjin Kim, Maggie Grace, and Emilie de Ravin, but there's really not a weak link in the cast. Co-created by J.J. Abrams (Alias), Lost left enough unanswered questions after its first season to keep viewers riveted for a second season. --David Horiuchi Lost: Season Two What was in the Hatch? The cliffhanger from season one of Lost was answered in its opening sequences, only to launch into more questions as the season progressed. That's right: Just when you say "Ohhhhh," there comes another "What?" Thankfully, the show's producers sprinkle answers like tasty morsels throughout the season, ending with a whopper: What caused Oceanic Air Flight 815 to crash in the first place? As the show digs into more revelations about its inhabitant's pasts, it also devotes a good chunk to new characters (Hey, it's an island; you never know who you're going to run into.) First, there are the "Tailies," passengers from the back end of the plane who crashed on the other side of the island. Among them are the wise, God-fearing ex-drug lord Mr. Eko (standout Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje); devoted husband Bernard (Sam Anderson); psychiatrist Libby (Cynthia Watros, whose character has more than one hidden link to the other islanders); and ex-cop Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez), by far the most infuriating character on the show, despite how much the writers tried to incur sympathy with her flashback. Then there are the Others, first introduced when they kidnapped Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) at the end of season one. Brutal and calculating, their agenda only became more complex when one of them (played creepily by Michael Emerson) was held hostage in the hatch and, quite handily, plays mind games on everyone's already frayed nerves. The original cast continues to battle their own skeletons, most notably Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Sun (Yunjin Kim) and Michael (Harold Perrineau), whose obsession with finding Walt takes a dangerous turn. The love triangle between Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway), which had stalled with Sawyer's departure, heats up again in the second half. Despite the bloating cast size (knocked down by a few by season's end) Lost still does what it does best: explores the psyche of people, about whom "my life is an open book" never applies, and cracks into the social dynamics of strangers thrust into Lord of the Flies-esque situations. Is it all a science experiment? A dream? A supernatural pocket in the universe? Likely, any theory will wind up on shaky ground by the season's conclusion. But hey, that's the fun of it. This show was made for DVD, and you can pause and slow-frame to your heart's content. --Ellen Kim Lost: Season ThreeWhen it aired in 2006-07, Lost's third season was split into two, with a hefty break in between. This did nothing to help the already weirdly disparate direction the show was taking (Kate and Sawyer in zoo cages! Locke eating goop in a mud hut!), but when it finally righted its course halfway through--in particular that whopper of a finale--the drama series had left its irked fan base thrilled once again. This doesn't mean, however, that you should skip through the first half of the season to get there, because quite a few questions find answers: what the Others are up to, the impact of turning that fail-safe key, the identity of the eye-patched man from the hatch's video monitor. One of the series' biggest curiosities from the past--how Locke ended up in that wheelchair in the first place--also gets its satisfying due. (The episode, "The Man from Tallahassee," likely was a big contributor to Terry O'Quinn's surprising--but long-deserved--Emmy win that year.) Unfortunately, you do have to sit through a lot of aforementioned nuisances to get there. Season 3 kicks off with Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly), and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) held captive by the Others; Sayid (Naveen Andrews), Sun (Yunjin Kim), and Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) on a mission to rescue them; and Locke, Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) in the aftermath of the electromagnetic pulse that blew up the hatch. Spinning the storylines away from base camp alone wouldn't have felt so disjointed were it not for the new characters simultaneously being introduced. First there's Juliet, a mysterious member of the Others whose loyalty constantly comes into question as the season goes on. Played delicately by Elizabeth Mitchell (Gia, ER, Frequency), Juliet is in one turn a cold-blooded killer, by another turn a sympathetic friend; possibly both at once, possibly neither at all. (She's also a terrific, albeit unwitting, threat to the Kate-Sawyer-Jack love triangle, which plays out more definitively this season.) On the other hand, there's the now-infamous Nikki and Paulo (Kiele Sanchez and Rodrigo Santoro), a tagalong couple who were cleverly woven into the previous seasons' key moments but came to bear the brunt of fans' ire toward the show (Sawyer humorously echoed the sentiments by remarking, "Who the hell are you?"). By the end of the season, at least two major characters die, another is told he/she will die within months, major new threats are unveiled, and--as mentioned before--the two-part season finale restores your faith in the series. --Ellen A. Kim Lost: Season Four Season four of Lost was a fine return to form for the series, which polarized its audience the year before with its focus on The Others and not enough on our original crash victims. That season's finale introduced a new storytelling device--the flash-forward--that's employed to great effect this time around; by showing who actually got off the island (known as the Oceanic Six), the viewer is able to put to bed some longstanding loose ends. As the finale attests, we see that in the future Jack (Matthew Fox) is broken, bearded, and not sober, while Kate (Evangeline Lilly) is estranged from Jack and with another guy (the identity may surprise you). Four others do make it back to their homes, but as the flash-forwards show, it's definitely not the end of their connection to the island. Back in present day, however, the islanders are visited by the denizens of a so-called rescue ship, who have agendas of their own. While Jack works with the newcomers to try to get off the island, Locke (Terry O'Quinn), with a few followers of his own, forms an uneasy alliance with Ben (Michael Emerson) against the suspicious gang. Some episodes featuring the new characters feel like filler, but the evolution of such characters as Sun and Jin (Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim) is this season's strength; plus, the love story of Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) and Penny (Sonya Walger) provides some of the show's emotional highlights. As is the custom with Lost, bullets fly and characters die (while others may or may not have). Moreover, the fate of Michael (Harold Perrineau), last seen traitorously sailing off to civilisation in season two, as well as the flash-forwards of the Oceanic Six, shows you never quite leave the island once you've left. There's a force that pulls them in, and it's a hook that keeps you watching. Season four was a shorter 13 episodes instead of the usual 22 due to the 2008 writers' strike. --Ellen A. Kim Lost: Season Five Since Lost made its debut as a cult phenomenon in 2004, certain things seemed inconceivable. In its fourth year, some of those things, like a rescue, came to pass. The season ended with Locke (Terry O'Quinn) attempting to persuade the Oceanic Six to return, but he dies before that can happen--or so it appears--and where Jack (Matthew Fox) used to lead, Ben (Emmy nominee Michael Emerson) now takes the reins and convinces the survivors to fulfill Locke's wish. As producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse state in their commentary on the fifth-season premiere, "We're doing time travel this year," and the pile-up of flashbacks and flash-forwards will make even the most dedicated fan dizzy. Ben, Jack, Hurley (Jorge Garcia), Sayid (Naveen Andrews), Sun (Yunjin Kim), and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) arrive to find that Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have been part of the Dharma Initiative for three years. The writers also clarify the roles that Richard (Nestor Carbonell) and Daniel (Jeremy Davies) play in the island's master plan, setting the stage for the prophecies of Daniel's mother, Eloise Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan), to play a bigger part in the sixth and final season. Dozens of other players flit in and out, some never to return. A few, such as Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), live again in the past. Lost could've wrapped things up in five years, as The Wire did, but the show continues to excite and surprise. As Lindelof and Cuse admit in the commentary, there's a "fine line between confusion and mystery," adding, "it makes more sense if you're drunk." --Kathleen C. FennessyLost: Season SixIt?s taken a long time to get here, but finally, the last season of Lost arrives, with answers to at least some of the questions that fans of the show have been demanding for the past few years. In true Lost fashion, it doesn?t tie all its mysteries up with a bow, but it does at least answer some of the questions that have long being gestating. In the series opening, for instance, we finally learn the secret of the smoke monster, which is a sizeable step in the right direction.In terms of quality, the show has been on an upward curve since the end date of the programme was announced, and season six arguably finds Lost at its most confident to date. Never mind the fact that it?s juggling lots of proverbial balls: there?s a very clear end point here, and the show benefits enormously from it. Naturally, Lost naysayers will probably find themselves more alienated than ever here. But this boxset nonetheless marks the passing of a major television show, one that has cleverly managed to reinvent itself on more than one occasion, and keep audiences across the world gripped as a result. There?s going to be nothing quite like it for a long time to come? --Jon FosterSpecial Features TBC
Woody Allen: Seven Films - 1986-1991 | Blu Ray | (20/02/2017)
from £28.99 | Saving you £N/A (N/A%) | RRP
Arrow Academy's third Woody Allen collection spans 1986-91 and the bulk of his work with Mia Farrow, who is featured in all seven of these films. They start with the much-loved family saga Hannah and Her Sisters, a warm and witty return to Allen's beloved Manhattan, and the nostalgic Radio Days, a collection of stories from the time of Allen's own 1930s/40s childhood. More sombre fare comes with the Chekhov-influenced ensemble piece September and Another Woman, with a tour de force role for Gena Rowlands as a middle-aged philosophy professor whose accidental eavesdropping makes her reassess her life. And with Crimes and Misdemeanors, Allen made one of his greatest films, a multi-layered and almost Dostoyevskian reflection on guilt that also finds room for some of his funniest one-liners. The box concludes with two of his more fantastical films, the romantic comedy Alice, in which relationships are guided with the aid of mysterious ?invisibility herbs', and the black-and-white, star-studded Shadows and Fog, an homage to Kafka and German Expressionism that was based on Allen's own one-act play Death. Collection includes: Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) Radio Days (1987) September (1987) Another Woman (1988) Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) Alice (1990) Shadows and Fog (1991) Exclusive to this collection: a hardback book featuring new and archive writing on all the films by Woody Allen, Richard Ayoade, Frank Collins, Glenn Kenny, Guy Lodge, Sheila O'Malley, Leanne Weston and Craig Williams

Woody Allen: Six Films - 1971-1978 | Blu Ray | (03/10/2016)
from £42.19 | Saving you £57.80 (57.80%) | RRP
With these six films, Woody Allen made one of the most remarkable transitions ever seen in American cinema, from the slapstick buffoonery of the early, funny films to the Oscar-winning breakthrough of Annie Hall and the wholly serious Interiors. Along the way there's the Latin American revolutionary satire Bananas, genre-bending sex-education spoof Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex and hilarious time-travelling trips to a future America (Sleeper) and Napoleon-era Russia (Love and Death). All these early films star Allen himself, usually as a hapless victim of unfortunate events, aided by the likes of Diane Keaton (several times), John Carradine, Jessica Harper, Louise Lasser, Lynn Redgrave, Burt Reynolds, Gene Wilder and Daisy the sheep. But the the mature Woody Allen was first revealed in Annie Hall, a film firmly of its time and place (mid-1970s Manhattan) but also universal in its wry and witty examination of the foibles of human relationships. The claustrophobically Bergmanesque family drama Interiors once seemed like a startling change of direction, but now anticipates much of what came later. Collection includes: Bananas (1971) Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex *But Were Afraid to Ask (1972) Sleeper (1973) Love and Death (1975) Annie Hall (1977) Interiors (1978) Exclusive to this collection: Annie Hall and a 100-page hardback book featuring new and archive writing on all the films by Woody Allen, Michael Brooke, Johnny Mains, Kat Ellinger, John Leman Riley, Hannah Hamad and Brad Stevens.

Get ready for more epic suspense, romance and thrill rides as THE VAMPIRE DIARIES continues for a seventh season. Season six of the hit series began with our heroes mourning the devastating loss of Damon and Bonnie, who turned out to be trapped in a 1994 prison world by a sociopathic magic-siphon named Kai Parker (guest star Chris Wood). Unable to cope with the loss of her love, Elena compelled away all of her memories of loving Damon, which meant that when he finally returned to Mystic Falls, he had to win her over again. Meanwhile, Caroline had to come to terms with her feelings for Stefan in light of her mother's heartbreaking battle with cancer, a battle that ultimately proved fatal, sending both Caroline and Stefan down a dangerous path as humanity-free vampires. Bonnie returned from the prison world with a surprise for Damon -- the cure for vampirism -- which he ultimately chose to give to Elena. Damon and Stefan came face to face with their mother, Lily (guest star Annie Wersching), who they had long believed to be dead. As the season built to a wedding between Alaric and Jo (guest star Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), Damon used the ceremony to profess his dedication to Elena, but not without a catastrophic event that left lives hanging in the balance. Now, in season seven, in the wake of Elena Gilbert's goodbye, some characters will recover while others falter. As Lily tries to drive a wedge between the Salvatore brothers, hope remains that Stefan and Caroline's love story is strong enough to survive.

What can airsoft players do for shooters?
Should airsofters get behind firearms owners? Now I'm clearly stating the obvious when I say that airsofters have a keen interest in things that shoot. Nearly all of us will have at least one imitation firearm or realistic imitation firearm in our collections. They are after all, a key component in the ability to participate in our fine sport! How many airsofters also shoot air guns, shotguns or firearms though? I think it is fairly safe to assume that there are a reasonable number that shoot air guns but that firearms and shotgun certificate holders are likely to be amongst the minority. Most airsofters will be aware of at least one issue affecting airsoft at any given time over the years. Either in the form of legislative amendments, political challenges, anti-gun groups, media bias and misinformation, through to players being arrested and social media groups being shut down. And for firearms owners the story isn't any different. If anything its worse! Firearms owners are amongst the most law abiding members of society but they are frequently the most vilified! Why should this matter to airsofters? Firstly, we all shoot guns in one form or another. It doesn't matter if it is a 6mm spring powered pistol, a CO2 powered 4.5mm steel BB air pistol, a 12g O/U shotgun or a .50 cal rifle, they are still all widely categorised...Read More

Hello sirs,
I have a uc560, but I wish use 2 links of internet. 1 espcific bot voip and better quality, and other to data.
so, my uc have one port exclusive to wan, but other 4 fast ports. Could I install 2 links of wand and specific the vlan trafic for one side and voip to other side?
Thanks so much!
Go to Solution.
You can do anything you want with IP routing via routing protocols and policy based routing. If you need specific details I suggest you post your question on the WAN forum as this is strictly network related and not IP telephony.
UC500 runs IOS, and there are no restrictions. You will likely need to create vlans or subinterface for the 2nd link.
Very thanks, Yes i understand about routing, but my doubt is if this UC allow 2 ports work as "wan" or have a kind of restriction? If dont have no one restriction could I use the expansion port to do this?
Thanks man!

Of late, I've been thinking about how I got here. Here, in love with movie watching and movie making.

Here, doing what I love.
[This resurrected piece is my contribution to the Steven Spielberg Blogathon co-hosted by Adam Zanzie (Icebox Movies) and Ryan Kelly (Medfly Quarantine). Originally published in the (pre-home-video) December, 1982, issue of The Informer, a monthly publication of the Seattle Film Society, when I was just a wee lad, barely a quarter-century old.]
"E.T." is a universal film -- and I'm not just talking about the MCA company that released it. Steven Spielberg's latest celluloid fable is fast on its way to becoming the most popular movie ever made. Yet, unfortunately, critical attention has been focused primarily on the phenomenon of "E.T." rather than on the cinematic merits of the movie itself. So much has been said about "E.T." as an extraordinary entertainment, a masterfully orchestrated work of childlike wish-fulfillment, that people seem to have overlooked the fact that it's also -- dare I say it? -- a rich and resonant Work of Art. Perhaps Spielberg is too unassuming, too unabashedly populist in his style and (overt) subject matter to make critics sit up and take notice of what he's doing from shot to shot.
Nevertheless, "E.T." is connecting with millions of people worldwide -- and for good reason. Like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," Spielberg's other masterpiece about intergalactic harmony and understanding (and perhaps the largest-scale abstract/experimental film released by a major Hollywood studio since Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey."), "E.T." is above all about contact, about the very nature of communication, and the system of signs we human beings have created to bring ourselves closer to one another: spoken language, gestures, symbolic objects, physical contact -- and any combination of the above.
The ad slogan for "Close Encounters" (hereafter referred to as "CE3K") was "We Are Not Alone," and both that film and "E.T." are about alienated individuals who try to break out of their isolation, who struggle to bridge the void between themselves and others. Perhaps the best way to get to the heart of these movies is to take a look at some of the ways Spielberg's characters communicate with (or fail to reach) each other -- and how Spielberg uses cinematic technique to bring film, characters, and audiences, into contact.

New IOGP Standard Aims To Improve Fabrication Site Safety
Standardization has become a popular term amongst operators looking to stem the rising costs of capital projects, and a new set of recommended practices from the International Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) Association seeks to further that trend.
At a presentation held during the 2017 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, Nilesh Popat discussed the key aspects of IOGP 577, which deals with fabrication site construction safety practices. Popat, general manager of HSSE for deepwater projects at Shell International Exploration and Production and the task force lead of the IOGP Project for Construction Site Safety Practices, also spoke about the challenges that may come with successful implementation of the new standard across the industry.
Popat said the task force was borne out of the recognition that, despite a noticeable improvement in safety performance in recent years, fatalities and significant injuries at fabrication sites were still too commonplace. Comprising construction safety specialists from IOGP members such as Shell, ExxonMobil, Statoil, Total, BP, and Chevron, the task force sought to develop a set of common minimum industry construction safety recommended practices for the work carried out at fabrication sites.
"It is a lot of feedback from third-party [fabrication] yards, construction contractors, of what we as an industry ask of them," Popat said. "With BP, Shell, and other oil majors, it's very different from site to site, from project to project, so can we not collaborate and come up with a common industry practice?"
Published in February, IOGP 577 is a series of "must have" requirements for a set of hazardous activities performed at fabrication sites. The task force selected 13 areas of focus for the recommended practices and general requirements:
- Confined space entry
- Dropped objects
- Energy isolation/lock-out, tag-out
- Housekeeping
- Construction traffic interface
- Lifting and hoisting
- Job safety analysis/permit to work
- Personal protective equipment
- Scaffolding
- Simultaneous operations
- System testing
- Working at heights
- Working with electricity
For these identified areas, the task force found common existing practices and suggested additional improvements that would make the guidelines better understood and easier to follow. Popat said it was important to limit complexity in the standard.
"The recommended practices are two pages, maybe three pages maximum, per hazardous activity. The intent is not to be gold-plated. The intent is to be practical and pragmatic, and for the requirements in place to be very easy to implement on sites," he said.
Popat said IOGP 577 should benefit the industry in several ways. The standard may provide a step change in safety performance at fabrication sites. He said the use of a standard should also lead to improved productivity and schedule delivery, which may reduce operator costs. However, he said that the standard will not be effective without consistent support and application by operators, and that the task force's priority has shifted from publication to adoption.
As the time of writing, Popat said five companies have committed to adopting IOGP 577: Shell, BP, Eni, Total, and Kosmos. Exxon, Chevron, and Statoil are currently going through the approval process. Popat said that he expects commitment papers from all eight companies in a few weeks, and afterward the task force will address the wider IOGP membership and construction contractors on the possibility of adopting 577.

The Castaways
Bill Flowers is an Australian painter, printmaker, cartoonist, animator & snake wrangler who lives in Northwest, Tasmania. His paintings include subjects such as snakes, Tasmanian Devils, and other predators, often getting close to his subjects in the wild.
Bill has been an integral part of the Artist on Board program aboard the Spirit of Tasmania during summer months, which is an initiative created by Creature Tales delivering entertainment services. In 2016, Bill produced a series of paintings called "Castaways on Preservation Island" to an audience of passengers over the course of day crossings from Melbourne to Devonport. The theme was to tell the story of the vessel Sydney Cove (named for its port of destination), that left Bengal in February 1797 and was struck by ill fortune when wrecked on Preservation Island, an island in Bass Strait. She was among the first ships wrecked on the east coast of Australia.
His paintings depict the perilous journey the sailors took and their untimely end. The series of seven paintings capture the enormity of the task they undertook and the extremes they faced, with only 3 of survivors from a crew of seventeen.
The paintings have been donated by Spirit of Tasmania to the City of Devonport Lions Club to raise money towards the purchase of a 20-seater bus for the School of Special Education. The cost of this the bus upon completion will exceed $100,000.
You are invited to attend the auction on Wednesday 1 November or register to bid on the night. All enquires for attendance or to bid should be directed to Liz via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Really love the colors. Am tired of fighting the fringe on my previous entry rug; so decided to try this style. I am delighted with this new 4x6 rug.
I ordered 3 of these (3X5, 4X6 and 8" Square). There are some variations in the colors, (the brown background is darker in some parts of the rug). The rugs continue to shed quite a bit, after about 9 months of use. Overall, good rugs for the price.
I read other reviews for this where people are complaining its not "distressed". There are TWO different rugs, one says "distressed". Anyway, I got the non-distressed version. It's neon red. It's also only 2'6" wide despite that it says 3x5.
