Growing up I had dreams of traveling. Dreams of spending months and months away from home in far off places with new people, food, and cultures. Big dreams of visiting other countries to do service work. And that was my plan. I didn't know how I'd get there but that was the plan, to hit that travel bug before going to college, if college ever happened at all. Pregnancy came and I thought those dreams could never come true. Honestly, I was completely crushed at the idea of those dreams shattering. My little family, we don't get away too often and we don't get too far, but I've come to realize that those dreams can and do continue to live on.
They've simply adjusted a bit. I'm an advocate for getting away and having alone time with your spouse or even all on your own but I'm also a huge advocate for traveling with your children. I think in the fast paced technology world we live in today, they benefit from actually visiting far off (or not so far off) places in person. Whether it be a few cities over, across the country, or across the world, the benefits of exposing those growing minds to new places are endless.
Everything around us growing up (including school) enforces stereotypes on us about places to help us understand them. We scrunch an entire city, state, or country into one little stereotype to make it easier to understand but in the meantime we are stopping them and ourselves from truly understanding that culture. I think this way of living runs deep and is continuing to pass onto our children. I not only want to teach my daughter that Texas is more than tumbleweeds and cowboys and Egypt is more than a land of pyramids but I want to show her. Many of us learn by experience, so why do we lower priority of travel?
And so, I have plans to make 2017 the year of travel for my family and I. We haven't taken Tahlya too far, and maybe we won't get too far this next year, but for now, just starting to turn those wheels? That's what is most important.

America's premier game-design program canceled an all-star industry panel last week for the sole reason that the lineup was all-male.
The University of Southern California was able to attract some of the biggest talent in the industry to their April 20 event: head game designer at Blizzard, Jeffrey Kaplan; CEO of Riot Games, Brandon Beck; and head of Infinity Ward, David Stohl — among others.
As reported by the Daily Trojan, not only would students have been able to hear from these titans of the game industry, they could have showcased their games to the panelists as well.
What a cool, possibly life-changing event for the students at USC. It would be a shame if people's feelings got in the way….
Well, just four hours prior to the event, the whole thing was cancelled. And the reason given was it had to be shut down because of the all-male panel — as explained on the Facebook page of the University of Southern California Interactive Media & Games Division: It featured an all-male panel that did not reflect "a diverse and inclusive games industry."

GMC is the oldest brand of General Motors, with a history of more than 100 years. Its name is derived from the joint venture between General Motors and Rapid Motor Vehicle Company in 1908, when the new General Motors Truck Company emerged and was nicknamed "GMC Truck". 1912 marks the year when the first batch of some 22,000 cars was produced under the GMC brand.
Nowadays, GMC manufactures light-duty trucks (GMC Sierra and GMC Canyon), SUVs (GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, GMC Acadia and GMC Terrain) and vans (GMC Savana). In the past, it also used to produce:
- medium-duty trucks (the latest models were the GMC Forward, GMC W-Series and GMC T-Series that were discontinued in 2010),
- heavy-duty trucks (the GMC General and the GMC Brigadier were discontinued in the 1980s),
- buses (the B-Series GMC school bus was the latest model that rolled off an assembly line in 2003)
- motor homes (the GMC Motorhome, discontinued in late 1970s)
- military vehicles (GMC CCKW and GMC DUKW, both discontinued in the late 1940s).
GMC cars are among the cheapest to insure in the United States. The average insurance for new models is in the $1,200 – $1,400 range. Here are the average quotes for all the latest models.
- 2012 GMC Acadia – $1,197
- 2012 GMC Canyon – $1,265
- 2009 GMC Envoy – $1,290 (the model is no longer being manufactured, but you can still find Envoys in retail shops)
- 2013 GMC Savana – $1,325
- 2013 GMC Sierra – $1,214
- 2013 GMC Terrain – $1,264
- 2013 GMC Yukon – $1,440
- 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500 – $1,361
- 2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500 – $1,368
The GMC SUVs (the Yukon and Yukon XL series) are a bit more expensive to insure, but nothing to be scared of. Given that the average insurance policy in the United States is of $1,596, you can safely assume that you are going to get quite a good deal for your GMC. All in all, if you are looking for a car that's cheap to insure and has an all-round American "flavor", then you can't go wrong with a GMC.

I think we can almost officially rule out a correlation between view counts of certain online movie trailers with the kind of money we can expect them to make. For instance, last week's movies, which went on to blow away all expectations, all had different levels of view counts. Safe House had far and away the most, but it was The Vow winning the weekend. It was buoyed by Valentine's, obviously, but it did unusually great business. And among similar view counts (around 8 million at the time of release): Safe House, Chronicle, and Contraband have performed slightly different from each other.
This weekend sees the return of Nicolas Cage as the Ghost Rider, and in 3D no less. We get a new adaptation of The Borrowers, and many of you have already seen a sneak preview of the action/romantic comedy This Means War, opening for real on Friday.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Brings Us Off-Kilter Nicolas Cage Action
Classic Hollywood is to see a movie over-perform projections on its opening weekend, and completely ignore that the movie was pretty reviled even by average moviegoers. However, when you have a property like Ghost Rider, you can always improve upon the original and try to sell it again, and many times that works despite the awful reception of the first one. The original Ghost Rider made $115 million after a $45 million opening weekend. I don't know too many people who like it, but here's the sequel, with the 3D premium attached.
This is also directed by love-em-or-hate-em duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who brought us the two Crank movies and Gamer. This duo is a perfect match for Nic Cage.
It does look better than the first one:
That trailer's combined views are in 3-4 million range, which shows there's some interest…at least in seeing Nicolas Cage be his usual self. The original teaser trailer, introduced by Neveldine/Taylor on iTunes, also clocks in around 4 million:
Including fiery destruction:
Love it or hate it, this will be competing for the top spot this weekend.
The Secret World Of Arrietty: The Borrowers Gets A New Look
The Secret World of Arrietty is adapted from the Mary Norton novel The Borrowers, which last got the movie treatment in 1997 starring John Goodman. Co-writer Hayao Miyazaki is a legendary animation director with these credits: Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and Ponyo, just to name a few.
Official trailer:
It has a low view count, in the low hundred-thousands, but as we saw with Journey 2 last week, family movies don't tend to chalk up high view counts and it won't matter for overall box office.
This is the directorial debut of Hiromasa Yonebayashi, who worked on many of Miyazaki's films in the animation department. Like many anime titles that find their way over to the US, the movie has been Americanized with more familiar voices such as Amy Poehler and Will Arnett.
There are quite a few clips, including the introduction of the small-sized Arrietty to one of the bigger humans:
And what are Borrowers, anyway?
Disney has released a music video for the voice of Arrietty, Bridgit Mendler, and her song, "Summertime" for the movie:
It's somehow more magical in its original Japanese. Maybe it's the song:
This Means War Is Mr. And Mrs. Smith Meets Spy Versus Spy
I don't know what to think about This Means War. Part of me says, "This will be terrible." Another part says, "I really like these actors. Could they possibly do a movie together that will be terrible?" Well, the answer to the second question can always be, "Yes," but it doesn't stop me from hoping. But it's directed by McG (Charlie's Angels, Terminator: Salvation), so take that for what you will.
The official trailer:
Chris Pine and Tom Hardy fight over Reese Witherspoon in the classic, "We're buddies but we didn't know we were dating the same woman" scenario.
This Means War provides this clip of Tom Hardy hilariously going overboard in a game of paintball. Then there's the usual romantic comedy nonsense. I'm conflicted:
That clip came courtesy of the YouTube channel Social Paintball, and it looks like a cross-promotion thing, but Social Paintball is calling this scene out for getting the safety measures wrong. I'm cynical enough to believe it's still a cross-promotion.
And a restaurant fight gets out of hand while Witherspoon psyches herself up in the bathroom:
This Means War has a very low view count across the board, less than The Vow from last week, and no Valentine's Day to kick-start it. I still see this being a hit over the weekend, though. The trailer is fast and fun and even if it looks stupid to a lot of us, it will be right in others' wheelhouse.
The Take For The Weekend
Much like last week, we have guy movie versus date movie challenging for the top spot. I think Ghost Rider will win it, with challenges from This Means War and even last week's top 2 films.

Yorba Linda: Skateboarder Logan Wells Fatally Injured in Accident
Comments (0)
At about 4:45 a.m. on Sunday, March 23, 2014, 16-year-old skateboarder Logan Wells was fatally injured in an accident in Yorba Linda. A Kia Sorrento struck Wells near Secretariat Way as it traveled eastbound on Bastanchury Road. Emergency responders transported him to an area hospital, where he succumbed to the trauma he suffered. The 61-year-old male driver of the vehicle is not suspected of being under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, which is under investigation.
Family members and friends of the El Dorado High School student constructed a makeshift memorial of flowers, candles, and skateboards near the scene of the collision on Sunday, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Throughout Orange County, traffic accidents claimed 140 lives and caused injury to 19,323 people in 2011, according to the California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System. None of the deaths were suffered in Yorba Linda that year; however, the city accounted for 151 of the collisions that resulted in injury. Yorba Linda ranked 94th out of 102 cities with populations of between 50,001 and 100,000 for the number injury crashes that occurred there in a California Office of Traffic Safety ranking system in which 1st place is considered the worst.
In California, when a motorist's negligence results in a fatal collision, the motorist may face a wrongful death claim from the family of the victim. For more information on the wrongful death claims process, please call 888-752-7474 or contact us online.
All of us at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis, and Leslie would like to offer our condolences to the family of Logan Wells.

Cancellieri – Closet Songs: A Collection of Demos and Covers
Cancellieri is Ryan Hutchens' Post-Echo-signed labour of love. Grounded in indie folk, its sound has been influenced by extensive touring and a focus on honest musicality. While on a US coast-to-coast tour, which finishes in August, Cancellieri released, as a free download and 10" vinyl, Closet Songs. It aims to recreate the experience of an intimate live performance and act as a side dish to Welcome to Mount Pleasant, released in April. Hutchens' voice and guitar, with lo-fi recording and some use of echo, form the core of the album, with new material and covers of artists like the Avett Brothers and Coldplay. 14 tracks long, the album sounds exactly like its title suggests: a backlog of demos and covers released together as a collection.
In this lies its strength. Closet Songs successfully reflects both the ethic of Cancellieri as a band, and its aims in putting the album together. It is simple, honest and heartfelt throughout. Hutchens' voice lies somewhere between Passenger and Bon Iver; at times – such as on "Dreams be Dreams" – he almost whispers, at others he utilises slight breathiness or croakiness to add a personal edge. On every track, the guitar picking style is skilful but delicate and not overcomplicated. The construction of the songs, too, is in accordance with the album's aims. On the opening track, "Fortunate Peace", the use of slight echo and the element of duet are simple additions which lend a pleasing cadence to the tune. The harmonica, particularly on "Zalo", brings to mind the stylistic influence of folk and mostly works well in the arrangements where it's used. "Blue Demo" works really well as a short, instrumental interlude. The straightforwardness of style coupled with its personal nature help get across the atmosphere of a live show at a small venue. Hutchens said of Cancellieri, "It's the family name. The music was born from street performance and playing for family, and it's grown into a way to survive". On Closet Songs, this is inherent in the atmosphere; it is a quiet family performance, an intimate gig.
On original songs, Hutchens showcases good song-writing, such as on "The Frame" which opens with
"Oh my brother I have sinned.
There's blood on my hands again"
But he also has a skill in bringing to life others' songwriting.
"Why did you come
If you can't stay for ever?"
he asks, almost innocently, at the beginning of his cover of Langhorne Slim's "I Love You But Goodbye". However, his covers play a slightly different role than other artists'. They are not reinterpreted or adapted significantly for his sound but, instead, give the impression that they are more tributes than covers. This works with the live atmosphere of the album, as if he is taking requests or simply deciding to play his favourite songs. Perhaps one major exception is the final song, "Mama's Eyes", which turns a country-sounding number from Justin Townes Earle into a fitting farewell to the album through the lo-fi distortion of Hutchens' voice, like you're hearing the final song of a great concert from far off.
Where the album is most interesting, is at its most dream-like. "Delicate Leave"'s lo-fi guitar (louder in the mix than usual) coupled with the interweaved harmony of long-sustained vocals gives an intangible, choral feeling which is quite effective. "Western States" – a song that, for the most part is familiarly straightforward, but with the return of the harmonica (perhaps one time too many) – is redeemed by this subtle humming that comes near the end, fading in and out like half-heard echoes in a church. A lot of the songs have some form of this dreaminess, though it's a pity there isn't more of it to enjoy.
Closet Songs is a solid album, all the songs are pleasant and in places it becomes quite interesting, but just as its strength comes from its straightforward, live-like nature, its faults do too. Partly because it is a collection of informal tracks more than an album crafted to be a coherent listen, and partly because it is difficult to capture the charisma of a real live performance, the album drags a bit and songs can blur into each-other with their similar simplicity. If you're a fan of Cancellieri or indie folk, this is a good one to check out, especially hand-in-hand with Welcome to Mount Pleasant, and, as music in the background, it can really set a calm, pleasing mood, but, if you're not that into indie folk, this probably won't change that.

Julius Caesar
Every time I read Julius Caesar, I find something new to love. Of all the literature I've had to read and reread through school years, I think it is actually the play I have read the most. It is also a story that most people are familiar with, regardless of their familiarity with Shakespeare, and so it is a great play to stage. Julius Caesar was a man who became elevated to the status of a god after his death, and elevated into myth after his story became history.
In fact, I'm not even going to recap the story, because you know the damn story. And I am certainly not going to say I won't do it, and then do it, because that's what the historical Cicero did all the damn time – having studied Latin in high school, I hate Cicero. Really, I'm glad that he dies a subtle death offstage, just another name on a list with a black spot next to it, a victim of revenge assassinations by Marcus Antonius and Octavius Caesar.
But I digress.
Unlike the most of the British history plays, Julius Caesar is about a period of history that I actually have a modicum of outside knowledge about. And from that outside knowledge, I must conclude that this play is not entirely accurate as a history. Of course there is the notorious anachronism of "the clock hath stricken three" when that style of clock had not been invented until somewhere around the 12th century in Europe (although the Romans apparently did have some awesome style of water clock that I learned about while fact-checking the above statement). The events of this play take place between 44 BC and 42 BC , and yet Shakespeare uses dramatic timing to place the battle of Phillipi pretty quickly after the assassination. Oh, and then there's the crazy amount of supernatural shit happening all around the place, like "graves have yawn'd, and yeilded up their dead."
So really, in staging this or any of the other so-called History Plays, I feel no compulsion to tie the story down to that historical period. This is not the only time Shakespeare has ignored or manipulated historical fact for the sake of good storytelling, either. The events of King John, for example, wildly contradict a lot of its historical basis. Henry VIII is just complete bullshit. So although I don't know much about the events of the historical Richard III, I think it was really cool and justifiable for Sir Ian McKellan to rip the story from it's basis in England and set it in the context of Germany's Wiemar Republic.
So I know what you're thinking: I want to embrace the idea of Caesar as tyrant, portray him as a jackboot-wearing fascist, "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg, Which, hatcht, would, as his kind, grow mischievous; And kill him in the shell," with Marcus Brutus as some sort of Inglorious Basterd that saves the world. But no, dear reader, that's not where I'm going with this (although I would absolutely watch that production). The sort of Julius Ceasar that I want to explore with a contemporary audience is somehow far more incendiary than that.
See, here's the thing – I don't think Caesar was a budding tyrant, and I don't think Shakespeare portrays him that way. But obviously a lot of patriotic citizens thought his reforms were a threat to the basis of Roman society, and so they felt compelled to brutally stab the man to death on the Senate floor, as the government was in session.
So that is the context I would love to see this staged in, I think it would be emotionally powerful and intellectually polarizing, and most of all it would be relevant to a contemporary audience. That's it, really, I'm not making a political statement beyond that. The characters in the story all believe what they believe, those beliefs are at odds with each other, and violence erupts. The conspirators exclaim, "Let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood p to the elbows, and besmear our swords: Then walk we forth, even to the market-place And, waving our red weapons o'er our heads, Let's all cry, 'Peace, freedom, and liberty!'" – and they view it as an act of patriotism. Caesar's adopted son – Octavian – views it as treason, and helps to crush the rebellion with his nation's army. What makes it tragic as a story is that Brutus and Caesar are both noble men, both essentially good men, and even friends with each other, but their ideologies clash. Brutus is approached by enemies of Caesar, and he is brought into the growing conspiracy.
The coup fails, though, because Brutus stupidly allows Marc Antony to live. Brutus plays by the rules, and in Antony's own words "Brutus is an honourable man." Honourable men cannot win at politics. Cassius and the other conspirators know it is a tactical mistake to let Antony live, but Brutus reasons: "Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius, to cut the head off, then hack the limbs, – like wrath in death, and envy afterwards; for Antony is but a limb of Caesar: let's be sacrificers, not butchers, Caius."
And I really can't get over how stupid it is. I mean, Brutus' fatal flaw is that he plays by the rules – much like Shakespeare's other Roman heroes that blindly follow the doctrines that they were raised in. And I suppose that is the most tragic flaw to have, which is dramatically beautiful. Even Antony eulogizes, "His life was gentle; and the elements so mixt in him, that Nature might stand up And say to the world, 'This was a man!'" But really, guys. He was stupid when he let Antony speak at Caesar's funeral, and then just walked away. Nobody is even concerned that Antony will manipulate the situation, they think Antony is no more than "A masker and a reveller." The soldier offers nothing but praise to Caesar's assasins, but all of his words are consumed with deliberately growing doubt, repeating that "Brutus is an honourable man" as if to reassure himself. The rabble of citizens pick up on that doubt, and they run with it. His brilliant manipulation complete, Antony smiles – "Now let it work: mischief, thou art afoot, Take thou what course thou wilt!" The revolution that Brutus and Cassius meant to start is immediately turned against them, because they think too highly of their cause. Historically, they are actually responsible for the death of the Republic in this action.
There are so many awesome scenes in this play, including the storm where conspirators gather on the street, the scene between Caesar and his wife Calphurnia, argument between Brutus and Cassius near the end of the play. I could go on forever about these great scenes, analyze them, expound on my interpretations of them, but at the end of the day this is just a great play and you should read it or see it as soon as possible. And if you steal my concept, you better involve me with the production or I will find you. I will find you and reenact the final episode of HBO's Rome Season 1 on you.
And so, with that, I am taking a week off to visit my girlfriend in Louisville. I will return with Antony and Cleopatra, which follows the romantic events that follow this play. I never liked it, but I'll give it another chance because our nation's nemesis is dead and I'm in a good mood. Wait, no, I'm in a good mood because I'm spending the week with my girlfriend. Regarding the news of Osama's death, actually, I have to reflect on the Third Citizen's concerns when Caesar's corpse was brought out for display: "I fear there will a worse come in his place."

We construct a purely unrectifiable set of finite H 1-measure in every infinite-dimensional separable Banach space X whose image under every 0 ≠ x* ∈ X* has positive Lebesgue measure. This demonstrates completely the failure of the Besicovitch–Federer projection theorem in infinitedimensional Banach spaces.

This is my blog's "about" page (this is me stating the obvious), and this is where you will find stuff about me when I figure out what to put on it… But right now I foresee this blog growing very slowly; as I am a follower/disciple of Christ that needs a lot more sanctification, a husband of a wonderful wife that I need to learn to love and serve better, a father of two daughters that I also need to love and serve better…
8/27/2016 – (This is me adding something about myself) I was raised in a self-professed (though I didn't know it til I reached my early twenties) "Pentecostal" household – which was actually more aligned with Word of Faith practice and belief (which I also didn't figure out til my early twenties)… I have subsequently rejected most of the doctrines and practices I was taught growing up that find their origins in those specific strains of belief.
9/10/2016 (this is me listing the "labels" that best fit me) My theology and doctrine would be identified by most as very closely aligning with that of Reformed Baptists. I find it very difficult to remove a "Calvinistic" understanding from soteriology and still be Biblicaly God/Christ-centered. I am not a Cessationist. My ecclesiology is, in theory, pretty much driven by the example of the book of Acts – but is, in practice, almost identical to contemporary American forms of "doing church." … Don't ask about my eschatology, because those who have usually get kinda frustrated with me.
12/12/2017 (this is me adding my political affiliation) If you want to offend me on a political spectrum, call me a republican. If you want to prove you know nothing about me, associate me with the democrats. Actually I refuse to associate myself with either of America's cesspools of political mob-bosses.

Consumers' awareness of many food and health relationships has reached an all-time high.
Washington, DC (Vocus) August 13, 2009
While in the midst of a nationwide debate over health care, Americans are giving a clear indication that one tool they can use to improve their health is food.
According to new International Food Information Council (IFIC) Functional Foods/Foods for Health Consumer Trending Survey, eighty-nine percent of Americans agree that certain foods have benefits that go beyond basic nutrition, and may reduce the risk of disease or other health concerns, a significant increase from just two years ago.
"This year's survey findings show us that Americans are making the connection that foods can play an important role in achieving optimal health," said Elizabeth Rahavi, RD, and Associate Director of Wellness at IFIC. "Consumers' awareness of many food and health relationships has reached an all-time high."
Top Foods for Health Named By Consumers
According to the 2009 survey, the top "functional foods" named by consumers are: 1) fruits and vegetables; 2) fish, fish oil, seafood; 3) dairy (including milk and yogurt); 4) meat and poultry; and 5) herbs/spices, among others. But beyond their interest in individual foods, the research shows that people are increasingly associating them and their components with specific health benefits such as:
• calcium and vitamin D for bone health;
• whole grains for reduced risk of heart disease;
• antioxidants for protection against free radical damage;
• probiotics for digestive and immune health; and
• omega-3 fatty acids for cognitive development, especially in children.
Tips for Taking Advantage of Health Benefits
While consumers say they want to eat foods for these benefits, the data suggest they are struggling to follow through and incorporate them into their diet. In a special Web cast release of the data Wednesday, David Grotto, RD, LDN, best-selling author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life, offered several tips to help consumers overcome that gap.
"People might be surprised to know that the foods they are already eating can have real health benefits and taste great. The key is to identify and take every opportunity to incorporate these beneficial foods – as part of your usual routine or even at special events." Some of David's suggestions include:
• top your favorite fiber-rich breakfast cereal or oatmeal with antioxidant-rich berries;
• grab a handful of nutrient- and protein-packed nuts as a healthful snack to help maintain your
weight; or
• at the family cookout, enjoy a savory hot dog smothered with colorful grilled veggies encased in
a whole grain bun.
Other topics covered in the survey include Americans' top health concerns, consumer interest in 16 specific benefits provided by some foods and beverages, and awareness and consumption of 27 different diet and health relationships.
Slides from the Web cast are available by clicking here. For the full report or to schedule an interview with Elizabeth Rahavi, RD, or David Grotto, RD, LDN please contact Eric Mittenthal or Jania Matthews at 202-296-6540 or mittenthal(at)ific.org.

LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – The Los Angeles Superior Court announced Tuesday that it will reduce its staff by nearly 350 workers, close 56 courtrooms, reduce its use of court reporters and eliminate its Informal Juvenile Traffic Courts program.
Presiding Judge Lee Smalley Edmon said the plan is the most significant reduction of services in the court's history.
"Staffing reductions due to budget cuts over the past 10 years have forced our court to reduce staffing by 24 percent, while case filings continue to increase," she said in a statement.
"This has created incredible pressures on our court to keep up with our work. We cannot endure these pressures for much longer."
Edmon said the staffing reductions are required to deal with the state's budget crisis.
The judicial branch's budget, which represents nearly 3 percent of California's budget, has seen reductions of nearly 30 percent since 2008.
The court system is currently facing a $350 billion budget reduction.
The cut, passed by the Legislature and approved by Gov. Jerry Brown last year, is the deepest reduction in state court history.
Edmon said the superior court has managed its share of the cuts by spending down year-end fund balances, freezing wages, furloughing court staff and eliminating staff positions, saving $70 million as of last fiscal year.
"This year, the state cuts are forcing us to reduce our spending by an additional $30 million — on top of the $70 million in reductions we have already made," she explained.
"There will be as many as 350 dedicated, skilled court workers who will no longer be serving the residents of Los Angeles County. When we lose those people, we will no longer be able to shield the core work of the court — the courtroom — from the budget crisis."
The superior court's $30 million reduction plan, set to take effect by June 30, includes:
– The closing of 56 courtrooms. The courtrooms affected include 24 civil, 24 criminal, three family, one probate and four juvenile delinquency courts. The caseloads of those courtrooms are being distributed among the remaining courtrooms;
– As of May 15, the court will no longer provide court reporters for civil trials. In addition, after June 18, court reporters will be available for civil law-and-motion matters on a limited basis;
– The court will make "significant" cuts to its non-courtroom staff, including 100 reductions by June 30; and
– The court will eliminate its Information Juvenile Traffic Court program. The program is designed for minors who commit low-level offenses, holding them accountable for their actions by the court and by their parents — but outside of the traditional delinquency system.
"These courts have allowed us to address tens of thousands of offenses in a more appropriate forum than delinquency court," Assistant Presiding Judge David Wesley said of the program, in a statement. "We are losing a crucial element of the juvenile justice system to lack of funding."
Of the staff reductions, Edmon said, "Our judges and staff have shown incredible dedication and commitment in keeping the court running during these past two years. But these new reductions will not allow it to be business as usual.
"There will be longer lines at clerk's windows across the county and slower responses to the public's needs across the court," she said.
Calling the plan an "extraordinary action," Edmon said she is sad for both the workers being laid off and the public, who also will be affected by the cuts.
"These actions are affecting people who have made a commitment to public service, to justice. We have had incredible cooperation of all our staff and our labor representatives through the past few years of these trying economic times. We should be in a position to reward them, not to have to inflict further pain," she said.
"With risks of more reductions on the horizon, we are already rationing justice. The Judicial Council must find fiscal relief for the trial courts — from any and all sources. The public cannot tolerate any further major service reductions."
On Monday, California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye and others spoke to state lawmakers about the effect of recent budget cuts to the public's access to justice.
They addressed a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, Subcommittee No. 5 on Corrections, Public Safety and the Judiciary.
"We in the judicial branch accept our responsibility to help address the state's ongoing fiscal crisis," Cantil-Sakauye said. "But we also are mindful of our duty to ensure that 38 million Californians are assured their rights under our constitution, that businesses and residents are provided lawful means to settle disputes, and that those accused of crimes are prosecuted fairly and expeditiously."
State Sen. Lori Hancock, an Oakland Democrat, told fellow lawmakers they must approve new revenue, or else the courts will continue to face additional cuts.
"The courts are our third branch of government and ultimately, where access is delayed, justice is denied," she said.
The Los Angeles Superior Court isn't the only court to reduce its staffing and services.
According to the Judicial Council of California Courts — the policymaking body of the state courts — more than 20 counties have had to do the same.
In fact, some counties have had to close courtrooms entirely, including the San Diego Superior Court, the San Joaquin Superior Court and the Ventura Superior Court.
Others have had to close entire court branches, including Butte, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, Sonoma and Stanislaus counties.
Self-help and family law assistance services also have been reduced or closed in courts throughout the state, according to the council.
"Our justice system is the cornerstone of our democracy," Jon Streeter, president of the California Bar Association, said Monday.
"It is a grave mistake to treat it like an executive branch agency and downsize it for expedience it in troubled economic times. The independence of the judiciary is at stake."

Here's the good news about dropout rates in Texas: They're down significantly from over a decade ago, and schools have continued to chip away at the problem.
The bad news? Progress is slow.
We've lost 3.4 million students to attrition since 1987, and according to our forecast models, we'll lose 2.4 million more students by 2035.
Black students are three times as likely and Hispanic students twice as likely to drop out as white students.
To fix the problem, we must ensure that we're correctly counting how many high schoolers are graduating and how many are being left behind — a subject that has stirred debate in Texas.
Tempting as it may be to rely on just one measure, different kinds of counts yield starkly different information about how our students are doing.
While Texas ranks second nationally on a measure called the "adjusted cohort graduation rate," the state was 22nd for the same time period on the "averaged freshman graduation rate," another counting method used by the National Center for Education Statistics.
And though each method has its strengths, to derive the adjusted cohort rate, tens of thousands of Texas students must be excluded from the count.
In 2012-13, the Texas Education Agency reported that 50,000 students should not be counted because they were thought to have "moved to another educational setting." Another 32,000 were excluded because they left school for "reasons unknown."
Without a consistent verification system, there's no way to assure that students are still on track toward high school graduation.
So while Texas is making progress, we need to continue looking at multiple, transparent measures and taking action to ensure that all students graduate.
In the 1980s and '90s, the Texas Legislature acted on research findings to pass state policies requiring dropout data reporting and set a 95 percent graduation rate as the standard by which to measure our success.
Today, more complete information about how students are faring — and why — is bringing us closer to that goal.
In San Antonio, families, community members and educators are partnering around key comprehensive data through the United Way of San Antonio's Eastside Promise Neighborhood initiative to address absenteeism and help students graduate.
In the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District in the Rio Grande Valley, Superintendent Daniel King — along with university, business and community partners and family groups — has used attrition, graduation and college-sending data to cut dropout rates in half in six years and increase college-going rates.
We need to build on and speed up these successes. The future can be bright for all Texas children, but only if we count every student.
María Robledo Montecel is CEO of the Intercultural Development Research Association in San Antonio.

McCain Rips off 2004 Bush Ad
Oh those original GOP guys. Here is McCain's 'Mittsurfing' ad.
Funny, it looks very much like George Bush's 2004 ad against Kerry.
Couldn't McCain's ad people at least come up with a different tune to play than Blue Danube? Double F minus – 1 for lack of originality and 1 for stealing from the President. It was a pretty funny and original ad (in 2004). Did McCain think no one would notice?

Donor Spotlight Shines on Dr. William Valenti
Dr. William Valenti has seen two diseases — polio and smallpox — eradicated during his lifetime. For the past 30 years, he has taken a leading role in the work to eradicate a third: HIV/AIDS.
He was drawn to the medical field from an early age, having participated in the Salk polio vaccine trial as a child and then soon seeing the disease eradicated. He decided he wanted to work in the realm of infectious diseases, captivated by its ever-changing, puzzle-solving nature.
In 1989, Valenti cofounded the Community Health Network, in response to the need for HIV care during the AIDS crisis. He recalls with gratitude that his idea to establish an HIV/AIDS clinic was highly welcomed in Rochester, with community members and organizations investing financially in what was then only an idea.
"I didn't do it by myself," he says. "There were many hundreds of people who contributed to its foundation."
Now known as Trillium Health, the network has continued to grow and today serves all populations, whether HIV positive or negative. Its comprehensive model provides primary medical care, pharmacy and laboratory services, and other support services (such as housing, transportation, and support groups) all under one roof. It continues to offer specialized care for the LGBTQ community and for HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C patients. It also has a large transgender health program, currently utilized by nearly 400 patients.
Valenti appreciates the welcoming culture he's found in Rochester, where he feels LGBTQ-affiliated groups have strong visibility and are well integrated into the community. "Rochester stands out as a community where people have the opportunity not only to be themselves, but to advance themselves," he says.
He sees the work of both Trillium and the Rochester Gay Men's Chorus as integral to overcoming stigma, which he says is an important part of advocacy. "We shouldn't be stigmatized for who we are," he says.
He sees the RGMC as an example of Rochester's positive community atmosphere, connecting people through the power of music — and adding an important layer of visibility, too: "I like that the RGMC has had the word 'Gay' in its name for 30 years," he says.
The chorus's alignment with Valenti's own goals made it a natural fit for his philanthropy, which he has focused on LGBTQ initiatives.
"As you get older," he says, "you think about giving back, about what needs to be done, and what you can do to connect the dots in meaningful ways."
His personal goal is to help LGBTQ-affiliated groups like the RGMC to "reach out, develop, and help other people," he says. "Especially in this political climate, we need to make sure that the gains that LGBTQ people have had are sustained — to help sustain the movement."
Valenti emphasizes that philanthropy comes in many forms, including smaller gestures that add up. "Philanthropy doesn't have to mean millions of dollars," he says. "It can be as simple as attending an event." He sees the benefits of attending an RGMC concert as reciprocal: "The mere presence of other people like you — being a part of that culture — helps people to accept themselves. Going to a concert could be as beneficial as going to your shrink."
Dr. Valenti joined us at our June 17, 2017, concert, We Will Rock You, to speak about his work to end the HIV epidemic by 2020 and his memoir, AIDS: A Matter of Urgency, published in March. He signed copies of the book after the show and donated $10 to the chorus from each of the 43 books sold that evening.
This concert was a particularly fitting tie-in: the show honored the music of Queen, whose frontman, Freddie Mercury, died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991 at age 45. In a statement released the day before his death, in which Mercury first confirmed the rumors that he was sick, he said, "I hope that everyone will join with my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease."
It's a sentiment Valenti shares, and a fight he continues to lead.

Much conservation work focuses on individual species, partly because of the perception that wildlife species are effective symbols for raising funds and drawing awareness to environmental causes. However, for species-based studies to aid conservation efforts, the biological and ecological needs of species need to be addressed in a way that informs decisions and provides concrete recommendations for land managers. This thesis addresses the forest cover needs of Ciconia stormi, a rare and understudied bird species that inhabits the islands of Borneo and Sumatra and parts of peninsular Malaysia. Levels of forest canopy cover associated with areas inhabited by Ciconia stormi are identified at multiple spatial resolutions using a 500m MODIS soft classification product, 30m Landsat data, and hemispherical photographs. Important threshold values of 75 percent tree cover was identified at the regional scale, and 85 percent at foraging sites. There has been severe forest disturbance in regions inhabited by Ciconia stormi between 1993 and 2004, indicating the species may be somewhat tolerant to disturbance. Areas having been logged at least 20 years before present average over 85 percent canopy cover and have few large gaps, indicating that these forests may be suitable habitat for the species.

As a computer system tech with over 30 years in business, I have actually seen a great deal of Web connection issues. That's especially the case with WIFI.
The most typical issue remains in developing a 'great' connection in between the remote computer system and the cordless router. Lots of people do not recognize that even if you're getting a signal from your cordless router, you still might not have the ability to log onto the Internet. Sometimes the hardest issue is trying to find the best mesh router.
A weak or loud web connection is normally triggered by lost or rushed information packages. These damaged packages are continuously being sent out' in between the router and the getting computer system. This will decrease your connection substantially and might even keep you from getting on the Internet at all.
There are numerous methods you can use to enhance these weak WIFI signals. The simplest is to move the cordless router. If possible, aim to place your router near the center of the structure. I've gotten WIFI signals from as far as 1,000 feet when there were no barriers obstructing the transmission.
On the other hand, I've likewise had a difficult time simply getting the signal to go from one end of a home to the other. This can be the case especialy if the router lies on a various flooring than the getting computer system. The more walls and floorings the signal goes through, the weaker it gets.
If you cannot place the router near the center of the structure, there are a number of other things you can do. Initially, attempt moving the computer system to a different area. Even turning it in a different direction might assist. Laptop computers frequently have the WIFI antenna developed into the screen so simply turning the laptop computer a little may be all you'll have to do to enhance the reception.

TODAY, February 14th, (Valentine's Day) marks the TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY of my "Blaise the Baker" blog!!! It is hard to believe it has been TWO YEARS! Words really can not even begin to describe how thankful I am for all of YOU! Thank you for your feedback, dedication, support and encouragement. It truly means everything to me. When I first started this journey I had no idea it would have taken me where it has, or introduced me to the people I have gotten to meet. I am so thankful for everything and I am so honored and so humbled by everything that has happened. The awards, the stats, the published work, features, interviews, correspondence, subscribers, followers… Just blows my mind and whenever I think about it I am so overwhelmed, grateful and appreciative.
I am also so grateful and thankful to my "CHEW THIS" readers and followers. Your dedication and loyalty to me is so greatly appreciated that I can not even put into words how grateful I am to each and every one of you. I have been given an incredible opportunity and there is nothing like someone coming up to me, emailing me or messaging me and talking about how much they love my column, my recipes… I have so many ideas, recipes and stories that I can not wait to share with everyone in the future!
This path I am on has presented several amazing opportunities for me, including a few different projects I am working on currently, and for this I am beyond grateful.
THANK YOU thank you all so much for everything. Onward we go…..
Blaise ❤

In hindsight there were a few early-warning signs, but the true scale of the disaster publicly unfolded only in the final moments before it became apparent that Lehman was doomed.
There were few early indicators of Lehman's plight. Insiders however, were well aware: In late 2007, Goldman Sachs placed a massive proprietary bet against Lehman which would be known internally as the "Big Short."
In the summer 2007 subprime loans were beginning to perform poorly in the marketplace. By August of 2007, the commercial paper market saw liquidity evaporating quickly and funding for all types of asset-backed security was drying up.
But still — even in late 2007, there was little public indication that Lehman was circling the drain.
Probably the first public indication that things were heading downhill for Lehman wasn't until June 9th, 2008, when Fitch Ratings cut Lehman's rating to AA-minus, outlook negative
A mere 3 months later, in the course of just one week, Lehman would announce a major loss and file for bankruptcy.
Could this happen to Deutsche Bank?
First, we must state the obvious:
If Deutsche Bank is the next Lehman, we will not know until events are moving at an uncontrollable and accelerating speed. The nature of all fractional-reserve banks — who are by definition bankrupt at all times – is to project an aura of stability until that illusion has already begun to implode.
By the time we are aware of a crisis – if one is in the offing — it will already be a roaring blaze by the time it is known publicly. It is by now well-established that truth is the first casualty of all banking crises. There will be little in the way of early warnings. To that end, we begin connecting the dots:
Here's a re-cap of what's happened at Deutsche Bank over the past 15 months:
And that's where we are now.
How bad is it?
We don't know because we won't be permitted to know. But these are not the moves of a healthy company.
The trouble for Deutsche Bank is that it's conventional retail banking operations are not a significant profit centre. To maintain margins, Deutsche Bank has been forced into riskier asset classes than it's peers.
Deutsche Bank is sitting on more than $75 Trillion in Derivitive bets.— an amount that is twenty times greater than German GDP. Their derivatives exposure dwarfs even JP Morgan's exposure – by a staggering $5 trillion.
With that kind of exposure, relatively small moves can precipitate catastrophic losses. Again, we must note that Greece just missed it's payment to the IMF – and further defaults are most certainly not beyond the realm of possibility.
Not Good?
Well, if the dominos were not adequately stacked already, there is one final domino which perfects the setup.
Tom Humphrey now heads up Deutsche Banks Investment Banking operation on Wall Street.
Tom Humphrey also just happens to have been the Head of Fixed Income at Lehman when it collapsed.

Winchester and Chandler's Ford MP, Steve Brine, visited the Westholme residential nursing home in his constituency recently and saw for himself the new 'hub' facility which is helping to ease the pressure on acute beds in the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.
The new facility provides 12 beds which will be used for people who are discharged from local hospitals but are not able to return home straight away. This new model gives older people at the Hampshire County Council home, based on Harestock Road, up to 6 weeks, free of charge, to recover and rehabilitate and ensure a smooth transfer back home or into nursing care.
Steve Brine was shown around the home by Deputy Manager Lesley Brunt and Director of Operation Sharon Wilson. Speaking after the visit, he said: "This Winter has been very difficult for our NHS and Winchester wasn't immune from that with great pressures being felt at our local A&E department. I asked Hampshire at the time what the underlying problems were and not surprisingly, difficulty freeing up acute beds was a large part of that.
"I was really impressed with this 12-bed facility which I understand is one of six now operating in the county as it brings health and social care even closer together for the benefit of patients. Hospital is not the right place to make long-term decisions about future care and that's where this new hub really comes into its own. The challenge going forward is to give the hub a secure income stream so it is kept for the purpose it was intended when built."
Cllr Liz Fairhurst, HCC Executive member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, added: "This is one of many steps Hampshire County Council is taking to help ease pressure within the Hampshire hospital system."

Crystal meth, also known scientifically as methamphetamine, appears as an odorless white powder that is bitter to the taste. Meth is a stimulant that can be smoked, injected, inhaled, or taken by mouth. Smoking and injecting are the most popular as they offer faster highs.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that 1.2 million Americans tried meth in 2012. On average, these users were 19.7 years old. National trends show higher concentrations of meth users in the West and Midwest.
Crystal meth is noted for providing a powerful rush of energy, confidence, and euphoria. Even the smallest amount of the drug can lead to a wide range of physical side effects, including:
Crystal meth is a highly addictive substance. Addiction is harmful to your physical and mental health, but can also have an immense impact on your character and behavior. Addiction forces you to prioritize obtaining and using of drugs, which can cause you to behave recklessly, lash out at others, and push away loved ones.
It's easy to blame a person's morals or willpower for their addiction, but drugs act on the natural balance of chemicals in the human body. Meth floods the body with dopamine, which plays a role in reward, motivation, and pleasure. Over time, your body will produce less dopamine to adapt, but in return, you have to take more meth to compensate, resulting in addiction.
The main goal of detox is to help get rid of the toxins that have built up in your body from using drugs. This is often achieved through tapering off of use, but it helps to have professionals to lend a hand. That's where inpatient care comes in. Through inpatient care, you can admit yourself to a detox facility, where you are cared for during your treatment.
Inpatient care is the most recommended option. Along with a clean, positive environment, inpatient care gives you easy access to medical professionals. Counselors can provide you with emotional support, while medical staff members can administer medication and provide care in the event of emergencies.
Detox from crystal meth is an essential step to your recovery. It works the toxins out of your system and prepares you for longer rehab programs, most of which require detox treatment. Rehab programs educate you and arm you with the tools you need to maintain sobriety in the long term. If you have questions or would like to begin crystal meth treatment today, contact HARP at (877) 806-5022 and begin your road to recovery at the premier crystal meth rehab center in South Florida.

WEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida university remembered the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Friday morning.
Florida International University held its 26th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Breakfast.
University and student leaders unveiled a bust of the slain civil tights leader, one of two donated to the school.
The event's keynote speaker was Charles Bonner, a trial lawyer and author who dedicated his life to end discrimination. "It is truly an honor to speak at this unveiling of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. bust here, a person I deeply admire and respect," he said.

Welcome to our March blog, and what a lot of lamb pictures we have to share with you!
A week earlier than expected our two of our lovely ewes decided to give birth to their lambs! The first ewe successfully had one lamb and the second ewe had three lambs! Because they had them so close together we were able to adopt one of the triplets onto the ewe who just had one, meaning that both ewes had two lambs each which was healthier for the ewes and the lambs. The adoption went really well and both came on leaps and bounds.
Over the course of the next two weeks the rest of the ewes had their lambs and created a grand total of 9 new lambs.
It has been an amazing experience and one which we hope to do again (once we have caught up on our sleep!). The lamb cam was worth every penny and allowed us to spot the signs of labour in three ewes when we wasn't actively looking at them in the stable!
Each lamb and ewe have matching numbers so we know who belongs to who and who arrived first!
The horticulture groups are busy starting to grow on the bedding plants ready for us to sell on our sales day in May as well as preparing the vegetable beds ready to grow veg for Berrys Cafe.
CGS – Community gardening services have been super busy doing some more landscaping jobs! Take a look at the work they have been doing…

How do burpees make you feel?
If you are one of those people who loves burpees, let me just stop you right here. No need to read any further. Stop right now and go back to doing whatever it is you people do – chew nails, kick puppies …whatever non normal, inhuman thing it is that you like do when not throwing yourself joyfully on and off the floor.
Ok, still here? Good! In real life, we would be friends.
I want to have a frank and honest discussion about burpees. I have been doing Crossfit for just over 1.5 years and the thought of burpees still makes me what to cry inside…actually, on the outside too. Really, it's just a lot of crying.
Nothing makes me feel more like a newbie who just started crossfit a week ago than burpees. Yesterday, the metcon had 3 rounds of 20 burpees in it. The first set went okay but during the second set, my lungs felt like they were going to explode and my legs felt like they weighed 100 kg each.
But after I had barely survived the metcon a strange thing happened, I looked around and noticed that some of my other gymmates looked as destroyed as I did. So I thought to myself, maybe I'm not alone in feeling absolutely destroyed by burpees. Maybe burpees are actually the great equalizer. Maybe they suck for everyone.
So here is my question to you, my lovely internet friends, how do you feel when doing burpees? At what point, if any, do they start to suck? At what point do you begin to negotiate with yourself..you know that moment where you start to convince yourself that it might be okay to just stop early…just this once…How many burpees does it take?
Or if by some miracle, burpees don't make you want to reconsider all things crossfit, tell me your secret…how do you survive burpees?
Is this your version of hell? If not, PLEASE TELL ME YOUR SECRET!!!!!
7 Responses to " How do burpees make you feel? "
If someone loves burpees then they are one odd duck! A few weeks ago we did a EMOM Wod of 5 burpees and 5 deadlifts for 12 minutes. By the last few rounds I kept thinking I was going to give out and that during a burpee I would just end up on the floor not able to get up. But then the 12 minutes was up and I had survived!
I refer to burpees as my own personal Hell. I started out not minding burpees when I began CrossFit about a year ago, but now I look for excuses to sub out burpees. Unfortunately, my trainers never let me so I cry a little every time as I throw myself down on the ground and peel myself up. Everyone else makes them look so graceful and I look like I'm swimming through molasses.
I usually contemplate giving up around burpee number 5 because they're just that awful. But, on the bright side, I have gotten considerably faster at burpees… and they do suck a little less — key word is a little. I guess working on things you suck at repeatedly in order to get better actually works. Huh, who would have thought?
If there's anyone outside who's not half-dead after doing burpees I want to know their secret. I hate burpees! The other day we had a WOD with 75 – 50 – 25 burpees (and some running mixed in) and the guys at my box mostly did all the burpees. How do they do that? How does anyone do that many burpees unless their name is Rich Froning?!? I had to scale to 60 burpees in total and I still felt dead afterwards.
The only thing that keeps me doing burpees is the sliver of hope that one day I won't feel like dying after doing twenty of them. Like, in ten years or something.
I am fresh meat to crossfit but last week our workout included burpees and I mentioned it on social media only to have someone respond to me with: "I love burpees!" That very moment I said out loud [to myself because that's worth it]: "Shut the hell up, no one loves burpees!"
Thank you for confirming my thought.

Slow Power
by Samantha Dols — American University
March 26, 2017 – 10:24
Curator's Note
In 2013, Al Jazeera reported on an emerging media tradition in Norway: "A new kind of reality TV show was born, and it goes against the rules of TV engagement. There is no story line, no script, no drama, no climax. And it's called Slow TV." The phenomenon, however, represents something much more than a novel format for television. Through its unique characteristics - slow format, avowing of agency to the audience, and the reverence of culturally specific artifacts - Slow TV represents a counterhegemonic force, which confounds the orthodox blueprint of time, power, and control in the relationship between the media and the public. Furthermore, through the adaptation of Joseph Nye's Soft Power, it can be argued that Slow TV elicits a type of Slow Power, in which media leaders can cultivate new levels of cohesion and national pride among their audiences. Derived from the long endurance and pace of its content, the nomenclature itself spurs an ontological exploration into the definition of time - the designation of "slow" to describe something that literally unfolds in real time suggests disparity in the way media influences and regulates the mainstream understanding of and relationship to time. And what does Norway's Slow TV mean for the rest of the world? While it does not damage the standards of Universal Time, it does make a statement. Amidst a growing tendency toward speedup culture, Norway proclaims, "We choose slowness. We celebrate slow." And while this creates cohesion within the country, it could, inadvertently create distance between those unable to prioritize slowness, due to economic or political circumstances. As this media internationalizes, other countries can harness the formula to increase national unity and redistribute power. With live, highly participatory, all-inclusive media events with culturally resonant themes and motifs (placed in primetime), media leaders can disrupt chronography and evoke Slow Power.

Great post, this is really
by Eric Hahn — New York University
April 07, 2017 – 22:12
Great post, this is really fascinating! I'm always a bit hesitant to fully embrace the marketing of "slowness" as a counter to "speed-up" culture particularly because I would argue that both terms create a false sense of an embedded and ubiquitous social time that, to me, seems a bit problematic. I think what really interests me here is the possibility of reading this mediated "slow time" as a sort of biopolitical mechanism, essentially a virtual slow vacation that still allows one to stay firmly positioned within his or her particular economically and politically determined temporal space. I can imagine someone working a 12-hour shift, coming home and watching this as a nice refresher to boost his or her spirits for the next grueling shift! Not to mention the massive labor infrastructure that must be undergirding this whole production. How many production technicians and vehicle operators were pulling all-nighters (I might be getting a bit carried away here) to allow for a select audience, who have "expendable" time, to engage in this slow power tourism? Sorry if this comes off as rambling, it's been a long day ;) Really wonderful post!
