Video released of tense standoff in Fontana between police officer and suicidal man; no shots fired

Body camera video released by the Fontana Police Department showed how a standoff between an officer and a suicidal man — who called 911 on himself — ended without tragedy in November.
Fontana Police Chief Billy Green said in the video released Monday that the incident happened just after 9 a.m. Nov. 27 in the area of Commerce Way and Santa Ana Avenue. The Ontario Police Department received a call about a man with a gun and transferred the call to Fontana's police dispatch center.
The 911 caller said he saw a man pull out a gun, so he hid behind something so the man didn't see him.
"I was going into work, and I saw this man walking up and down the street and he looked, he looked disgruntled. Very disgruntled," the caller said. "And when he saw my car, he pulled the gun out."
The caller said he drove into work faster than he normally would when the man puled a gun out of his pocket.
Fontana police dispatch contacted Officer Josh MacMillan, who arrived at the scene to find a man walking up and down the street with his hands in his pockets.
"Show me your hands," MacMillan said as he exited his police vehicle with his gun drawn. "Show me your hands right now. Don't pull anything out."
The officer repeated instructions until the man pulled his right hand out of his pocket, but kept his left hand hidden from view. MacMillan continued instructing the man to take his left hand out of his pocket.
"Pull your hand out, do not pull a gun out," he said. "I'm telling you right now, I will shoot you. You understand me?"
"Shoot me," the man said, repeating it until he started to cry. "Please, just please. Please, please please shoot me."
"I do not want to shoot you," MacMillan said. "Pull your hand out of your pocket bro. Come on! Don't do this man."
This exchange lasted for several minutes with MacMillan asking the man's name and asking how he could help him, and the man pleading for the officer to shoot him.
"Let me help you out," MacMillan said as the man fell to his knees. "Pull your left hand out so I can approach you safely. Pull it out, come on dude."
Eventually the man took his left hand out of his pocket.
"You can't help me," the man said, crying.
"You may think I can't, but let me try. Just give me a chance," MacMillan said.
As additional officers arrived, the man pleaded for MacMillan to shoot him once more.
"No, I don't want to kill you. I don't want to kill you," the officer said. "You're not dying today."
The officers put the man in handcuffs, and checked his sweater pocket for the suspected gun, only to find a phone instead.
"I don't have a gun, I'm the one who called," the man said through tears.
Officers didn't find a gun on the man after searching him, and put him into the back of a police SUV. MacMillan continued to assure the man that they would talk and get through whatever was ailing him.
Green confirmed that the man involved in the standoff was the same person who called 911 about a gunman in the area.
"He placed the call to facilitate our response in an attempt to commit suicide by cop," Green said. "Had the man not responded to the tireless deescalation tactics employed by Officer MacMillan, the outcome could have been tragic."
Video of the incident may be disturbing to some viewers and includes profanity. It can be found here.
Anyone with suicidal thoughts, or knowing of such a person, can obtain help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

MK (Yahadut Hatorah) Menachem Eliezer Moses admits he is concerned due to the split in the litvish community and the split in the Sephardi Shas party. Moses states he is nevertheless trying to remain optimistic, but he warns the chareidi tzibur may lose significant numbers in Knesset.
Moses spoke of the videos that have popped up without mentioning Shas by name, adding "go now what rabbit they will pull out of the hat on the eve of elections".
Moses added "I oppose the insults and humiliation. Far be it from me to get into this. I hope they find something. Don't think we are just sitting here with our hands crossed".
All you have to do Mr. Mozes, is to make up with Reb Shmuel shlit"a and bring this bitter argument to an end. Stop the incitements once and for all. If you lose the elections, you only have yourself and your bnei brak buddies to blame. I don't feel sorry for you !!! Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Of course the Hareidi will lose seats. There is now a serious "Hardal" party for the first time. Unless some factions slips below the threshold the totals of all Hareidim and Religious Zionists will be about the same as before. Coalition wise, Yahadut ha-Torah and Shas have an easier time threatening to ally with Labor since Yachad has removed their nationalist elements.
Technically the frum parties might have more seats this time around. If Shas can pull of 8 (as some polls show online, not YWN) and Gimmel can get 7 and Yachad can get 5. That would be 20 seats. even if Shas gets seven that is more seats overall then the previous knesset. And even if they end up with 15 combined seats, they are still better off if they can actually get into the government and do something. That is better than 18 seats in the opposition.
the whole Klal the world over religious ,irreligious ,those who appreciate what you're doing,and many more of those hardly appreciate it, on your shoulders 24 hours a day 7 days a week without any breaks.
You're only hope in this world, is that after your demise you will then be (fully) appreciated .
Contrary to popular aura,being a manhig hador is the most rewardless horrid job.

Kelles, O'Mara reiterate calls for Cuomo to resign after sexual harassment findings
by Matt Butler August 3, 2021 August 3, 2021
Darren McGee - Office of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo
Update (Aug. 3, 5:15 p.m.): Two more very notable parties have commented on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's status—Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul and President Joe Biden. Biden acknowledged he had not read the Attorney General report but that he knew the end results and thought Cuomo should leave office promptly. Hochul called Cuomo's behavior documented in the report "repulsive" but said that since she would be in line to take over if Cuomo is removed, she stopped short of saying anything further.
TOMPKINS COUNTY, N.Y.—On the heels of Attorney General Tish James' report regarding allegations of sexual harassment against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, NYS Assemblymember Anna Kelles (D), who represents the 125th District, said she stands by her earlier calls for Cuomo to leave office. Kelles also said there is enough evidence to begin impeachment proceedings. NYS Senator Tom O'Mara (R) separately voiced his sentiment that Cuomo must leave office immediately.
Kelles had issued a letter, along with 58 other statewide Democrats in the State Assembly and State Senate, calling for Cuomo's resignation in March as six women came forward accusing him of sexual misconduct. James' report validated those six accounts, while finding five additional women who said that they had been treated inappropriately by the governor. Further, the report says that the Executive Chamber in Albany fostered a hostile, toxic work environment.
Your government news is made possible with support from:
James' report, available to read in full here, serves as the latest damning blow to Cuomo's tenure, which saw him attain nationwide popularity at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020. However, that quickly soured to widespread calls for him to leave office as scandals mounted between sexual harassment allegations and questions regarding his nursing home policies and transparency over the number of deaths in New York nursing homes due to COVID-19.
"Upon completion of our independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment brought against Governor Andrew Cuomo and the surrounding circumstances, we have reached the conclusion that the Governor sexually harassed a number of State employees through unwelcome and unwanted touching, as well as by making numerous offensive and sexually suggestive comments," James' report concludes. "In addition, we conclude that the culture of fear and intimidation, the normalization of inappropriate comments and interactions, and the poor enforcement of the policies and safeguards, contributed to the sexual harassment, retaliation, and an overall hostile work environment in the Executive Chamber."
In a statement published after James held the press conference to present her findings, Kelles said the governor clearly "failed to follow his own sexual harassment policy" and that he should be held accountable. Further, she said that she would support impeachment proceedings if they were to begin against the governor, saying there "is enough evidence for articles of impeachment."
"The Attorney General's report released today offers abundant evidence that the Governor sexually harassed numerous women and failed to follow his own sexual harassment policy," Kelles wrote. "It is incredibly difficult to read through the Attorney General's report and understand the full extent to which the Governor has abused his position of power. I stand by my original statement in February that should the credible allegations against the Governor prove truthful, then he should be held fully accountable. As a state we have endured and are continuing to endure a severe public health, social and economic crisis and we, as a state, will unite behind truth as the findings of state and federal investigations continue to unfold. We deserve leadership that shines in every aspect of their service and holds honor, equity, and integrity during times of crisis as well as times of stability and prosperity."
Following that, O'Mara weighed in, commending James' report and lambasting the Cuomo administration for its conduct. He also said that impeachment proceedings should begin in the State Assembly.
"The Attorney General's investigation should mark the end of the Cuomo administration and a disgusting chapter in New York State government," O'Mara wrote. "This thorough, independent investigation makes it clear that Andrew Cuomo is not fit to hold public office. It leaves him standing, no matter how he will try to lie about it now, without a shred of credibility, honesty, integrity, or trust. Governor Cuomo needs to resign."
Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand both also reiterated their calls for Cuomo to resign in a joint statement.
Cuomo held a press conference after James' session in order to respond to the findings, during which he outright denied all the allegations and claimed that him being accused of sexual misdeeds undercut the stories of real victims. There was also a brief slideshow of pictures showing Cuomo kissing a series of public officials and people, meant to illustrate that his behavior was culturally normal.
The report itself is 168 pages of detailed accounts from Cuomo's accusers and others, including previously unreported allegations surrounding the harassment of a New York State Police trooper. The overall findings include allegations of Cuomo touching women inappropriately on a number of occasions, making suggestive or unwelcome comments, and more.
Additionally, according to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, the Albany District Attorney has confirmed an ongoing criminal investigation into Cuomo's conduct, though details are scant.

Reposting this from Pat Hannon's blog.
When I was a child, the season of Advent was dominated by pondering the answer to one question: What do I want for Christmas? Every year I diligently sought to craft the perfect Christmas wish list.
Making a Christmas list was an activity filled with hope—hope that I could receive whatever I truly wanted. Yes, I knew I would not receive everything I asked for, but there remained the glimmer of possibility that wrapped under the tree on Christmas morning could be the item I most desired in the world—with my name on it.
Isaiah 64 opens with Isaiah's wish list. He cries out for that one thing that he longs for more than any other: for God to step out of heaven and come down to make the reality of His presence seen on earth. Isaiah has written about all of the tragedy and injustice he has seen in the world. He calls out for the one thing that could set everything right: for God to come and be among us.
Advent calls us to wait in hope that God is breaking into the world. In light of this hope, what will be on your Christmas list this year?

Q: Formatting string to certain character limit in Python I have a code that outputs a whole bunch of numbers after doing some maths on them. At one point in the code they are rounded off with numpy.rint, and in certain cases (I believe when a 9 is rounded to a 10) I end up with a trailing zero that I do not want. I have some code that looks sort-of like this
ra3n = ra3/60 * 10
ra3n = np.rint(ra3n)
ra3n = ra3n.astype(str) ##there is a good reason that this needs to be a string

I need all of the resulting ra3n to be 5 characters long, but occasionally one pops out as 6 characters long. How would I format this properly? Keep in mind I'm a total python noob, so I might need it spelled out for me =)
EDIT:
Here's my output:
00244-2451
00244-2702
00278-0629
00286-1614
00295-1101
002910-0546
00303+0711
00305+2246
00348+2604
003410+0423
00355-0204
00359+1236
00360-0931
00386-1210

The instances where there are six digits instead of 5 in the first half of the string are the erroneous ones; those trailing zeroes should not be there.

A: ra3n = ra3n[:-1] if ra3n[-1] == '0' else ra3n
There's probably a better solution, but I'm not sure I really understand your issue without seeing some output.

A: You change the type of ra3n, which is poor programming practice. Try this.
ra3n = format(ra3/60.*10., '5f')[:5]

This gives exactly five characters. Note that if the string would usually be six characters long, this cuts off the last character, for good or for bad. Note also that I included decimal points in the 60 and 10 numbers: this guarantees that floating-point division will be used, rather than integer division if this is done in Python 2.

William Carlos Williams (September 17, 1883 - March 4, 1963) was an American poet closely associated with modernism and Imagism.
Overview Edit
Williams was also a pediatrician and general practitioner of medicine, having graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. Williams "worked harder at being a writer than he did at being a physician"; but during his long lifetime, he excelled at both.[1]
Youth and education Edit
Williams was born in Rutherford, New Jersey, the older son of Raquel Hélène Rose (Hoheb), originally from Puerto Rico, and William George Williams, who was born in England but raised in the West Indies.[2] Aside from family trips and college, he would live his entire life in Rutherford.[3]
He received his primary and secondary education in Rutherford until 1897, when he was sent for 2 years to a school near Geneva and to the Lycee Condorcet in Paris. He attended Horace Mann High School upon his return to New York City and after having passed a special examination, he was admitted in 1902 to the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania.[4]
Family Edit
Williams married Florence Herman (1891-1976) in 1912, after his earlier proposal to her older sister was refused.[5] They moved into a house in Rutherford, which was their home for many years. Shortly afterward, his 1st book of serious poems, The Tempers, was published.
On a trip to Europe in 1924, Williams spent time with writers Ezra Pound and James Joyce. Florence and Williams' sons stayed behind in Europe to experience living abroad for a year as Williams and his brother had in their youth.
Career Edit
Although his primary occupation was as a doctor, Williams had a full literary career. His work consists of short stories, poems, plays, novels, critical essays, an autobiography, translations and correspondence. He wrote at night and spent weekends in New York City with friends - writers and artists such as avant-garde painters Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia and poets Wallace Stevens and Marianne Moore. He became involved in the Imagist movement but soon he began to develop opinions that differed from those of his poetic peers, Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot. Later in his life, Williams toured the United States giving poetry readings and lectures.
During World War I, when a number of European artists established themselves in New York City, Williams became friends with members of the avant-garde such as Man Ray, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp. In 1915 Williams began to be associated with a group of New York artists and writers known as "The Others". Founded by the poet Alfred Kreymborg and by Man Ray, this group included Walter Conrad Arensberg, Wallace Stevens, Mina Loy, Marianne Moore and Duchamp. Through these involvements Williams got to know the Dadaist movement, which may explain the influence on his earlier poems of Dadaist and Surrealist principles. His involvement with The Others made Williams a key member of the early modernist movement in America.
Williams disliked Pound's and, especially, Eliot's frequent use of allusions to foreign languages and Classical sources, as in The Waste Land. Williams preferred to draw his themes from what he called "the local". In his modernist epic collage of place, Paterson (published between 1946 and 1958), an account of the history, people, and essence of Paterson, New Jersey, he examined the role of the poet in American society.
Politics Edit
Modern liberals portray Williams as aligned with liberal democratic issues; however, as his publications in more politically radical journals[6] like New Masses suggest, his political commitments were further to the left than the term "liberal" indicates. He considered himself a socialist and opponent of capitalism, and in 1935 published "The Yachts", a poem which indicts the rich elite as parasites and the masses as striving for revolution. The poem features an image of the ocean as the "watery bodies" of the poor masses beating at their hulls "in agony, in despair", attempting to sink the yachts and end "the horror of the race". Furthermore, in the introduction to his 1944 book of poems "The Wedge", he writes of socialism as an inevitable future development and as a necessity for true art to develop.
In 1949, he published a booklet, "The Pink Church" that was about the human body but was understood, in the context of McCarthyism, as being dangerously pro-communist. The anti-communist movement led to his losing an appointment as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress in 1952-1953, an event that contributed to his being treated for clinical depression. In an unpublished article for BLAST, Williams wrote that artists should resist producing propaganda and be "devoted to writing (first and last)." However, in the same article Williams claims that art can also be "in the service of the proletariat".[7]
Death Edit
After Williams suffered a heart attack in 1948, his health began to decline, and after 1949 a series of strokes followed. He also underwent treatment for clinical depression in a psychiatric hospital during 1953.[8] Williams died on March 4, 1963 at the age of seventy-nine at his home in Rutherford.[9][10] He was buried in Hillside Cemetery in Lyndhurst, New Jersey.[11]
Two days after his death, a British publisher announced that he was going to print his poems. During his lifetime, Williams had not received as much recognition from Britain as he had from the United States, and Williams had always protested against the English influence on American poetry.
Writing Edit
USA Poetry Episode William Carlos Williams
Williams most famously summarized his poetic method in the phrase "No ideas but in things" (found in his poem "A Sort of a Song" and also in Paterson). He advocated that poets leave aside traditional poetic forms and unnecessary literary allusions, and try to see the world as it is. Marianne Moore, another skeptic of traditional poetic forms, wrote Williams had used "plain American which cats and dogs can read," with distinctly American idioms.
One of his most notable contributions to American literature was his willingness to be a mentor for younger poets. Though Pound and Eliot may have been more lauded in their time, a number of important poets in the generations that followed were either personally tutored by Williams or pointed to Williams as a major influence. He had an especially significant influence on many of the American literary movements of the 1950s: poets of the Beat Generation, the San Francisco Renaissance, the Black Mountain school, and the New York School.
He personally mentored Theodore Roethke and Charles Olson, the latter instrumental in developing the poetry of Black Mountain College which subsequently influenced many other poets. Robert Creeley and Denise Levertov, 2 other poets associated with Black Mountain, studied under Williams. Williams was friends with Kenneth Rexroth, the founder of the San Francisco Renaissance. A lecture Williams gave at Reed College was formative in inspiring 3 other important members of that Renaissance: Gary Snyder, Philip Whalen and Lew Welch.
One of Williams's most dynamic relationships as a mentor was with fellow New Jerseyite Allen Ginsberg. Ginsberg claimed that Williams essentially freed his poetic voice. Williams included several of Ginsberg's letters in Paterson, stating that 1 of them helped inspire the 5th section of that work. Williams also wrote introductions to 2 of Ginsberg's books, including Howl.
Williams sponsored unknown poets such as H.H. Lewis, a radical Missouri Communist poet, who he believed wrote in the voice of the people. Though Williams consistently loved the poetry of those he mentored, he did not always like the results of his influence on other poets (the perceived formlessness, for example, of other Beat Generation poets). Williams believed more in the interplay of form and expression.
Poetry Edit
Williams' major collections are Kora in Hell (1920), Spring and All (1923), Pictures from Brueghel, and other poems (1962), Paterson (1963, repr. 1992), and Imaginations (1970). His most anthologized poem is "The Red Wheelbarrow", considered an example of the Imagist movement's style and principles (see also "This Is Just To Say"). However, Williams, like his associate Ezra Pound, had long ago rejected the imagist movement by the time this poem was published as part of Spring and All in 1923. Williams is more strongly associated with the American Modernist movement in literature, and saw his poetic project as a distinctly American one; he sought to renew language through the fresh, raw idiom that grew out of America's cultural and social heterogeneity, at the same time freeing it from what he saw as the worn-out language of British and European culture.
Williams tried to invent an entirely fresh form, an American form of poetry whose subject matter was centered on everyday circumstances of life and the lives of common people. He then came up with the concept of the variable foot evolved from years of visual and auditory sampling of his world from the first person perspective as a part of the day in the life as a physician. The variable foot is rooted within the multi-faceted American Idiom. This discovery was a part of his keen observation of how radio and newspaper influenced how people communicated and represents the "machine made out of words" (as he described a poem in the introduction to his book, The Wedge) just as the mechanistic motions of a city can become a consciousness. Williams didn't use traditional meter in most of his poems. His correspondence with Hilda Doolittle also exposed him to the relationship of sapphic rhythms to the inner voice of poetic truth:
"The stars about the beautiful moon again hide their radiant shapes, when she is full and shines at her brightest on all the earth" - Sappho.
This is to be contrasted with a poem from Journey To Love titled "Shadows":
Shadows cast by the street light
under the stars,
the head is tilted back,
the long shadow of the legs
presumes a world taken for granted
on which the cricket trills"
The breaks in the poem search out a natural pause spoken in the American idiom that is also reflective of rhythms found within jazz sounds that also touch upon Sapphic harmony. Williams experimented with different types of lines and eventually found the "stepped triadic line", a long line which is divided into three segments. This line is used in Paterson and in poems like "To Elsie" and "The Ivy Crown." Here again one of Williams' aims is to show the truly American (i.e., opposed to European traditions) rhythm which is unnoticed but present in everyday American language. Stylistically, Williams worked with variations on free-form styles, notably developing and utilising the triadic line as in his lengthy love-poem Asphodel, That Greeny Flower.[12]
Quotations Edit
"Forget all rules, forget all restrictions, as to taste, as to what ought to be said, write for the pleasure of it."[13]
Recognition Edit
Williams won the 1950 National Book Award for poetry]], for the 3rd volume of Paterson and his Selected Poems.[14]
In 1952 Williams was named Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, but barred from serving out his term due to McCarthyism and unfounded accusations of William's membership in a communist organization. Williams retained legal counsel to refute the charges but was never allowed to respond to his critics and never received an apology from the Library of Congress.[15] [16]
In 1963, Williams was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for Pictures from Brueghel, and other poems (1962) and the Gold Medal for Poetry of the National Institute of Arts and Letters.[17]
The Poetry Society of America continues to honor William Carlos Williams by presenting an annual award in his name for the best book of poetry published by a small, non-profit or university press.
Williams' house in Rutherford is now on the National Register of Historic Places. He was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2009.[18]
William Carlos Williams Center Edit
The William Carlos Williams Center for the Performing Arts is a private, not for profit performing arts and cinema complex located in downtown Rutherford, New Jersey.
The building that the center occupies was originally built in the 1920s as a Vaudeville theater known as the Rivoli. The Rivoli soon started showing silent movies and eventually "talkies". The theater enjoyed success until a fire destroyed part of the building in 1977. In 1978 a group of philanthropists started the Williams Center Project, which opened the Center in 1982.
The center featured 2 live theaters, 3 cinemas, and an open air meeting gallery.[19] The Bergen County Film Commission is now located in the Williams Center.[20]

La Liga de Cambrai fue una alianza militar contra la República de Venecia, organizada en los dos tratados firmados en la ciudad francesa de Cambrai el 10 de diciembre de 1508.
La liga de Cambrai fue una de las importantes alianzas insertas en las guerras italianas.
El papa Julio II quería intentar por la fuerza mermar la influencia de Venecia en el norte de Italia y para ello ideó una alianza entre las principales potencias europeas.

La Liga se constituyó entre Luis XII de Francia, el papa Julio II, el emperador Maximiliano I de Austria y Fernando II de Aragón.
Venecia se vería despojada de todos sus territorios en tierra firme. El acuerdo preveía el completo desmembramiento de los territorios venecianos en la península itálica y su reparto entre los aliados:
 Maximiliano añadiría a la conquistada Istria, los territorios de Verona, Vicenza, Padua y Friuli,
 Francia uniría Brescia, Crema, Bérgamo y Cremona a sus posesiones milanesas,
 Fernando se quedaría con Bríndisi, Gallipoli, Otranto, Trani,
 los Estados Pontificios se quedaría con Rímini y Rávena.
Los venecianos fueron derrotados en la Batalla de Agnadello. Pero la victoria veneciana en el Sitio de Padua (1509), hicieron aflorar diferencias entre los aliados, atizadas por la diplomacia veneciana, que condujeron a la disolución de esta Liga en 1510.

Formándose  una nueva alianza la Liga Santa en 1511.

Growing up in Southern New Jersey and later establishing his musical roots in the once booming steel mill and smokestack region of Pennsylvania known as the Lehigh Valley, guitarist Mike Dugan has taken the influences of the region known as the Rust Belt and created his own style of driving blues. Since turning professional in the 70's, Mike has relentlessly toured the East Coast playing a variety of festivals and clubs, building a loyal audience and sharing the stage with many blues and rock legends.


It seems like only yesterday that the entire country was going World Cup crazy. As England enjoyed its most successful campaign in decades, everyone was getting in on the action and creating football-themed content, from assessments of how far the team would progress to locally-focussed pieces suggesting bars and clubs that would be showing the action.
It's a perfect example of trending content that can attract serious traffic, but also has a very limited shelf life. When the England team was knocked out, interest in the tournament dwindled, and two weeks later, the World Cup was old news.
When it comes to content like this, it does not take a genius to understand that it will only remain relevant for a limited time.
Compare that with an article on a similar theme that reviews some of the most successful England World Cup campaigns across the years. Sure, there will be peaks and troughs of interest depending on the seasonal popularity of football, but it will remain relevant and "current" indefinitely.
Deciding on the shelf life of individual pieces of content and what to do when they become a little stale is an essential, yet often overlooked, aspect of content management. Many sites blindly take a "more the merrier" approach, essentially assuming the job is done when the article is live, and all they need to do is keep adding more and more.
Imagine walking into a shop at the beginning of December, and seeing it still full of Halloween promotions. You can see how harmful outdated content can be. It suggests that your finger is nowhere close to the pulse, and is enough to make visitors think twice about hanging around.
Even if the content itself is still relevant and attracting decent levels of traffic, it is still important to revisit it to ensure it is optimised for the latest SEO best practices. After all, something as simple as a slow-loading image can be enough to deter today's fastidious visitors in the smartphone age.
The highly time-specific and trending content is actually the easiest to deal with. It is like cutting away last season's dead wood. Nobody wants to read about England's World Cup prospects or the best films to watch on Freeview this Halloween, so get rid.
The more difficult question is what to do about those pieces of evergreen content that have always served you well and proved popular with visitors, but are now sitting in the dark recesses of your blog. Here, you can consider giving the piece a spring clean to bring it right up to date.
Update the language, refresh the images with fast-loading SEO-optimised ones, and ensure that any statistics and supporting data are current. Also check for broken links, and where possible, update them to the most recent sources you can find.
Remember, there is far more to good content management than just churning out as many new articles as you can each month. Take time to assess your products, articles, news pieces and video content, and if some of it no longer adds value to your brand, remove it and create some fresh new content in 2019.

Its been another exciting month at CTS-East, having been busy with Bauma Africa, and a few other interesting projects. Here's a sneak peek at a few of this months highlights. A Big thank you to all our customers for their dedicated support with Bauma Africa 2013. We wish you all well, and trust that it was a worth while success. Depot : Used Locomotive loaded in Durban Ex : BBC Chartering vessel from Australia.
On-Route to Pretoria : 10 Rows of Faymonville loaded with used Locomotive.
Depot : E-House Gantry Girder ready to depart for Richards Bay.
CTS-East managed to Break all its own records this month, when it was called upon to Transport a Fully Dressed Aldehyde Tower from Middelburg Mpumalanga to Sasol Secunda.
This Mammoth vessel made quite an impression as it made its way along its route.
The journey of about 150 km took just one day, and was escorted by a dedicated team from Telkom, Eskom and Mpumalanga Traffic departments. A big thank you to everyone who was dedicated to achieving this notable milestone.
Exciting News !!! This month we have the pleasure of adding some new and exciting equipment to our fleet. This includes the addition of FN : 287 our New Volvo FH16 (8x6) Heavy Hauler, FN : 289 our New Ilcor 4 Axle Ultra Low Profiled Trailer, an additional 10 Rows of Faymonville Multi Axle and an additional Goosneck !
Well Done Crew !!! The proud crew of fleet 218 standing in front of their new state of the art 55m long, fully steerable Faymonville extendible trailer.
This just goes to show that having the right equipment & crew, make for a success story.
Well done to all, on achieving another company milestone, in this long journey to making CTS-East a market leader in Abnormal Transport.
Car Towing Services East giving back to the Community.
67 Minutes is honestly not much to give to the less fortunate considering they have so much less than we do.
The Staff of CTS-East were sent out on the 19th of July 2013 to not only spend 67 minutes, but the whole day with people in great financial, moral and spiritual need. Giving back to the Community by helping Christian Praise Centre (or CPC), a skills Development Centre taking in families with no home or shelter. We had the great pleasure to feed somewhat 100 hungry mouths.
The whole day was planned by Magdeline Jobe (Procurement Manageress) whose heart opened when she stopped at this place on Tuesday. Seeing the absolute need the families living here have she felt it would be suitable to spend our Community Day there.
The Convoy of Car Towing staff of about 15 people arrived at CPC at about 10AM and joined one of the staff members of CPC for a tour of the grounds. The Centre accommodates approximately 30 families, some of who have up to nine children and never got the opportunity to learn, read or write. It was quickly obvious how some of these families crept into the hearts of the staff.
eing hands ON and not a hand OUT centre we decided it would be suitable to start a vegetable garden to further skill these people and for them to take responsibility for something, even if it?s only for a row of Cabbage!
Proper cooked meals were handed out to these people and the Compliments came streaming in.
Then our focus was locked on the kids as we handed out Sweet Bags, Fruit and Colouring books and Crayons to the little ones living in the Centre as well as the Day Care Centre on the Property.
Thank you to every person who helped in the kitchen, dished a plate, handed out a parcel, or worked in the garden. Your compassion didn?t go unnoticed.
For the Staff of Car Towing Services East Mandela Day 2013 was a huge success.
If we join hands and hearts, it will show, how far a little love can go.
CTS East are proud to announce the arrival of their new Faymonville ModulMax Multi Axle/Modular trailer which is comprised of a 40 Tonne Gooseneck, a 2 Axle Line Module, a 4 Axle Line Module, a 6 Axle Line Module, a 4.5 Metre Spacer Deck, an 8 Metre Spine Deck and a 5 Metre Spine Extension Deck. All Axles are fully statically and dynamically steerable thereby minimising ?cut-in? and enabling the combination to negotiate the tightest of corners by either automatically hydraulically steering or Remote Manual steering.
This combination can be assembled in many different configurations to suit the Load and Route from the Gooseneck with a 6 Axle Line Module to the Gooseneck with 10 and 12 Axle Lines. It can be configured with a 4.5 Metre Spacer Deck either behind the Gooseneck or between the Modules. It can be configured with the 8 Metre Spine Deck for either loading a machine on Mattresses on the extension Arms or straddled, the latter facilitating lowering the laden height of the machine by at least 800mm which expands the Routes which can be followed. The 8 Metre Spine Deck is long enough to accommodate the largest of Excavators, Dozers and Wheel Loaders whilst extension with the 5 Metre Spine Extension extends the Deck to 13 Metres for loading machines with a longer footprint.
The Payload capacity is in excess of 100 Tonnes depending on the Configuration and the restrictions placed on the Combination by the Bridge Formula. This combination, added to our already large Fleet of Specialised imported Trailers puts us in a commanding position in terms of our capability to handle a diversity of loads to our Clients advantage.

Fly Car Models History
I was looking online for some history of Fly cars and couldn't find any. Does anyone know where I can find a list of cars that Fly made, starting from the first car? Does that exist?
One of the first cars I bought was C34 - the Lola T70 Mk3B. I "think" I purchased this car before 2000, but I'd love to Know! When was it released?
Did you try this site. http://www.wikislot.com/. Seems to have some gaps, but a lot of good info.
Western burbs of Chicago
I have what I think is the one of the first Fly catalogs. I also have some of the cars in it but I don't have the cases for them. I believe I have your number 4 Lola T70. None of them have ever been on the track. It's 4 o'clock in the morning and later when I get out to my shop I'll look for the catalog and see if it says anything.
The way I acquired the cars was when I had my commercial slot car track I bought my inventory from REH Distributing here in Cincinnati. REH was the largest Fly distributor in the U.S.. They took them to a hobby show and put them on display. When they got back they didn't put them back in the cases and lost the cases. So they made me a good deal on them and bought them.

Have been working on this list for years, lost interest a while back. It is quite extensive, Could use some updating. It's not completed with dates and all model numbers. Maybe someone on here can fill in the blanks for us? It's in Excel format. Have to figure how to get it on here.

I found my Fly catalog and the only date on or in it is 2000 on the front and back covers. The only cars pictured are the A series the C series and Steve McQueen series of three cars from the movie Le Mans, they are listed as SM1, SM2 and SM3.. Your C34 is listed with a picture and I do have the same car.

I have 6 FLY CD's that are catalogues. But haven't transferred them into the XLS file I attached.
Fast Co.
That particular model, C34 first appears in the 1999 catalog.
Here is a list of the early catalogs that show when the Fly Classics first appeared. This doesn't mean the cars were actually released in the same year they appeared in the catalog. You can probably determine which ones were delayed by their appearance in subsequent catalogs.

Your 2000 catalog is exactly what my 2000 catalog shows.

The first Fly cars were the Vipers, if I recall correctly. They also released the Venturi and Marcos as GT cars before the Classic cars started coming out, I believe. The Sunoco T70 made the big splash early on...that really set the standard for graphics in the day. Then they capitalized on the Classics line and the rest as they say is history.

Fly Started in 96 with the A1 and A2 Viper GTS-R. White with green stripes and Metallic Blue with White strips.
Followed by the A3 and A4 in early 97, dayglo Yellow and Orange respectively.
The Venturis appeared in mid 97 just prior to the Marcos.
C1, First of the classics appeared around Sept 98.

I must have purchased my first Fly cars sometime in early '98 because the retailer had the Fly 911 GT1 on the shelf. In fact, the Le Mans 2nd place car was my first Fly purchase, along with the Gaugemaster's Marcos. I was amazed by the high level of details in the cars, especially that Porsche with the two-piece gold and chrome wheels. I took those cars home on that day and the very next day I was back to buy the two day-glow Vipers. Then a search on the internet opened my eyes to a whole new world of 1/32 scale cars. By about 2003, I had every single Fly release except the Limited Edition E2 Viper pace car. I never did acquire that car, but I do have a white prototype that has no paint and no graphics on it except an Exxon logo across the upper part of the windshield. At about the time Fly started releasing the Playboy limited edition cars, I decided that I wasn't going to continue to collect everything they produced and I became more selective about my subsequent Fly purchases though I still collected a good bit. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 Fly cars in my collection.
My focus shifted when Slot.It started producing RTR cars. Again, I started collecting everything Slot.It produced, and again I had to curb my purchases when production out-paced my ability to purchase. Today, I have well over 200 Slot.It models. Not to mention Racer Sideways, NSR, ThunderSlot, Scalextric, Ninco, Carrera, Revell-Monogram, BRM, RevoSlot, Anni Mini, AutoArt, Cartrix, Fleischmann, HPI, Le Mans Miniatures, Maxi Models, MB Slot, MR Slotcar, MRRC, MSC, Pioneer, Policar, Protoslot, Racer, ScaleAuto, SCX, Slot Classic, Sloter, Spirit, SRT, Strombecker, Top Slot, Vanquish MG... Did I miss anybody? No wonder even some of my fellow slotters think I'm nuts. I don't have a better half to help curb my habit. And my daughter is not thrilled about this part of her inheritance. Someone's going to get a good deal on some very nice slot cars when I kick the bucket.

Pretty complete list / pics of FLYCatalogs.

WOW! Thanks to all of you for sharing this priceless info!
So is it safe to say the first car they made was in 1997? The Ferrari 512S C1 and C2?
The first cars were the Viper, the Marcos, the Venturi and the Porsche 911 GT1. If I recall correctly, versions of all of those models were released in the first year, and all before the Ferrari 512.
On another forum there is a post with the 1997 Fly catalog. It shows the Ferrari C1 and C2 as the first of the Classics line. The Vipers, Venturis, Marcos, and the Joest Porsche WSC rounded out the line.
The first Fly release was the #A1 Viper. It was in 97.

Wow! '97? Time flies 😉
waaytoomuchintothis
Harry, as always, is right. It was the Viper, with several versions of the Viper to follow. I think the first one I bought was after the very beginning, a crazy Star&Stripes version. There's an outside chance that I have all the Fly Lolas, but I can't say that for certain. There were a flock of Ferraris in that time, and others I bought. My cars are stored by type and racing factory, so arranging Flys alone would be a big PIA, but trust me, I am a Fly fan.
Love the knowledge in our community and how it's being shared. The first Fly cars came out 8 years before I got back into slot cars and it was probably another 5 - 7 years before I moved beyond just having oval track cars. I can't remember what my first Fly car was, but once I saw how detailed they were and all of the race car replicas they made I was hooked.
Sounds like you and I got back into the hobby around the same time. Fly was what lured me back in. I'll never forget one day driving back to the office from a meeting, I popped into this hobby shop who had these beautifully lit display cases of Fly Classics...once I saw the 917k, it was game over!
Big fan of the FLY cars as well.
In particular, their Vintage Racing issues.
Here's some catalogs from 1998, 1999 and 2000 to help grow the HRW "brain trust" on the brand.
Let me know if you want better /"closer-up" pics of any of these.
Enjoy - Mark

Wow, this is great! Thank you!!
Did Fly make some other cars under a different name? I recall GB Track, Flyslot Alpha series?, Starters and others

Yes - GB Track cars were the smaller Porsche 908's and such, and also Trucks I believe were GB Track.


The singer reveals the reason for his go-to accessory during a Carpool Karaoke ride with James Corden.
There's no question that Bruno Mars oozes swag and charisma. And now we're learning a little bit more about how he went from Peter Gene Hernandez to his more well-known moniker during the latest (and perhaps funkiest) edition of Carpool Karaoke. The "24K Magic" singer rode shotgun with James Corden at the wheel, during which he revealed a few of his trade secrets.
For instance, these are the only items he needs in his tour rider. "What do I want in my dressing room? Some booze and water, wet wipes. That's it."
He also shared why he's frequently spotted wearing a myriad of funky hats. "You know where the hats come from? [It's] because of this hair; I don't know what to do with it."
And in his life before he was the Bruno we know today, he lived a bit of a colorful existence. He went a child performer ("Four years old I was impersonating Elvis Presley in my dad's rock and roll 1950s revue in Waikiki") to an amateur card shark ("For a little while, yeah, [I used to play cards to pay my rent when I first moved to L.A.]"). But now he's just a cool dude who writes songs about being just so and wooing the ladies. By the way, one of his pro tips when it comes to the art of seduction is all in how you perform. "Let the shoulders do the talking."
So, where does he see himself in the future? Well, when James asked if he ever sees himself gaining weight like Elvis did later on in his career, he quipped, "If that doesn't happen then I didn't make it.

It was a bit wet today, all day, but I girded my loins and worked my way up the north shore of Lake Superior.
At the northeast, or as the locals call it, east side of Duluth, SR61 splits into the 'expressway' route and the scenic route. Guess which one I took. . . The whole road layout through this part of the city is a little strange though. I35 comes up from the south, drops 500 feet over the bluff down to the shoreline and flys/burrows a bee-line path through downtown Duluth between the tracks and lake on one side and the city rising up the hills on the other, (With less than a dozen blocks between lake level and the heights above, Duluth is one steep city!) but then just ends right there on the edge of downtown at a traffic light where it dumps into SR61. For the next 4 miles SR61 is a two lane road with a 30 mile per hour speed limit wandering through a residential area along the lake shore. On the lake side are really big and fancy houses, one after the other, on the other side are older 1200 to 2000 sq. ft. frame houses like you'd see in any typical older neighborhood in a Midwest town. It's not until after threading through all this that SR61 splits between its two versions, and by the way, the 'expressway' version isn't, it's just a 4 lane divided highway. Regardless, it must be a real pain during rush to either live along that 4 mile stretch or have to drive it.
So, after threading through that residential street with plenty of stoplights and tons of driveways SR61 splits and, predictably, the scenic route runs along the shoreline with views (If it wasn't quite so foggy!) of the lake, lakeside homes and resorts, and there's plenty of pull-overs where you can get your feet wet along the rocky shore, assuming you're immune to the effects of submerging your feet in ice water!
For me Lake Superior has always been a slightly intimidating place. Remote, icy waters; really deep icy waters; legendary storms and history in and around it that will curl any boy's hair. On the north and western shores, where prevailing winds blow any sand on into the lake, the shoreline is predominately dark and rocky and the ancient granite kind of thrums with its own energy collected over millions of years. (OK, this is what happens when you spend too much time alone standing on a rocky, fog-bound shoreline knowing that the vast lake is lurking out there just beyond vision, just waiting to rise up and slap down the careless and unwary. . .)
About 25 miles up the road is the town of Two Harbors. Named Two Harbors because - well - there's two harbors. The town sits on a peninsula between Agate Bay and Burlington Bay. This is iron ore country and Agate Bay is protected by a couple breakwaters and dominated by large ore docks where loads are transferred from trains to ships. Burlington Bay is much less developed, out on the bay itself anyway but it looks like a brand new campground is going in over there on the edge of it.
Back in the dark ages; maybe even before the light bulb was invented; I was in the military and stationed in Virginia with a guy from Two Harbors. His dream upon getting out of the service was to go back home and start a business building custom furniture. I was thinking of this as I working my way down 7th avenue towards - well - the harbors, when I passed a workshop/storefront called Original Furniture. And I wondered. . .
Two Harbors being Two Harbors, there was plenty of room to pull over and park. Unfortunately (Maybe fortunately for anyone who might have been in there. . .) the place was closed so I couldn't go barging in, not remembering his name and certainly not what he looked like, blindly asking if anyone associated with the place was maybe in the military a long time ago.
Foolishness thwarted, back in the van and continuing on. . .
Freighter being loaded at the ore dock
There's plenty of parking down by the harbor so I did, park that is. There was a freighter being loaded at one of the two operating ore docks and the Corp of Engineers had some work barges set up at the end of one of the breakwaters where they seemed to be reinforcing it. (See! What did I tell you about the lake just waiting to rise up and slap something down!)
This isn't your little local lake! The Great Lakes are big!
I walked out on the breakwater to get a closer look at both operations, the freighter loading and the breakwater fixing. A couple times fingers of thick fog blew in from the lake, the 40 degree lake. Got a bit chilly for a bit there! Fortunately I was smart enough to be wearing an extra shirt under my rain gear. (I know! Karma getting me for all the bitching I was doing about the heat just a week or so ago. . .)
And so are the ships that work them.
The largest steam to work this railroad
And the smallest
After getting thoroughly damped and chilled out there on that skinny bit of stone and concrete that's supposed to keep the lake in check, I headed for the trains. I mean, who wouldn't?! It's trains for crying out loud! Two Harbors pretty much exists as a town because of the trains bring ore down from the mines in the interior to the ships in the harbor and they have an outdoor display of the first and the last steam locomotives used on that railroad. The depot has also been preserved and turned into a small museum/gift shop, more shop than museum in my opinion, but then I might be biased.
Of course, what rocky shoreline would be complete without a lighthouse? Unfortunately the lighthouse tour is only open Friday through Monday and this wasn't, (Friday through Monday.) but there was a mildly pleasant little path down along the shoreline below the lighthouse.
I was in the service with another guy who came from Brimley Michigan at the other end of Lake Superior and his father fished commercially from a boat just like this one. Does the fact that it's completely closed in and the nets are worked from the large hatches in the sides give any hint of what it can be like out there on the lake???
Another 12 or 13 miles on towards Canada is Gooseberry Falls state park. This is where the Gooseberry River drops over a series of hard rock ledges as it works the last couple miles down to the lake. There is an interpretive center tucked down there between the road and shoreline, but the big attraction is the falls, reached by following a trail up under the highway bridge and back inland to the rock ledges.
By now the rain had really set in but I still managed to get in a little hiking/ambling, tucking myself under trees or the bridge during the worst of it, though it did keep me off some of the trails further inland as they snaked their way up and down steep and now very slippery rocks and exposed roots. Not the time or place to get hurt! It also kept my camera, which is allergic to large amounts of water, in the case so I don't have much in the way of photos of this area.
As I write this, back at the campground for the night, the rain continues, sometimes pretty heavy.

The Emerald Princess
Early one morning, Lord Bilal took leave from the capital to rendezvous with Vadiim and his soldiers at the southern cross, a region near to Imuiir. There, he was briefed on the latest reports about the recovery of several captured citizens. After the briefing, Lord Bilal and Vadiim descended over a river to fetch some drinkable water.
"General, you have outdone yourself on this mission. It will be completed in no time," Lord Bilal boasted.
Vadiim remained silent as he took a drink. He never relished in compliments, but his silence seemed troubling to Lord Bilal.
"Is there something the matter with you?" Lord Bilal pried.
"You warned me, but I did not listen. Now I feel everything is wrong." Vadiim confessed solemnly.
Surprised, Lord Bilal queried, "General; in our entire span, I have never known you to be so full of despair or self-doubt. Not to mention, you have never once agreed with anything I said. What in the devil is this babble about?"
Vadiim landed beside the river bank and dazed past the surrounding treeline. "This is about Keinah. You said that I had no business meddling in the human realm. You were right. Now my actions have brought upon eternal damnation to her. She was robbed of the opportunity to visit the heavenly realm and reunite with her grandmother and mother, for that matter," he said.
Lord Bilal chuckled, then took a sharp tone. "If I remember correctly, it was you who infiltrated the gates of Sheol, guided her past the menacing ghouls, and brought her safely to the paradise side. Let us not forget that because of your worth to our kinsmen, the Queen had mercy and released you to rejoin us in the Emerald Kingdom. Not only that, but she also adopted your lover as her daughter, made her a princess, and gave her permanent residence in the palace. Princess Keinah is highly revered among our clan and worshipped as a national treasure. I know little about humans, but I'd say her outcome in the afterlife comprises the stuff that they fervently pray to their deities for."
Vadiim glanced with a half-smile. "I am sure you are a right old friend. It's just that I still can't help but feel responsible for ruining her in some ways, because I wanted her for myself," he said.
Lord Bilal looked him in the eyes and said, "There is nothing you can do to change the course of the way things played out. Keinah came with you and became your eternal mate. Do not exhaust yourself with worry, when everything turned out very well in the end. You are probably just getting anxious because you will see her shortly after this mission concludes."
A reinvigorated Vadiim rose and said, "You must be on a streak, as we agree once again. I will be reunited with Keinah within a short while."
Lord Bilal corrected him, "You will join her as soon as we conference with all the other Lords at the Capital."
When the year-long excursion successfully ended, Vadiim made haste to the Emerald palace to Keinah's estate. It was stark of the night when he arrived. One of the lead manservants called Edytheos, came to greet him at the entrance.
With a deep bow, he said, "Great General, please forgive me. We were unaware of or prepared for your arrival this late evening."
Vadiim prompted him to stop bowing and eagerly asked, "Where is Keinah?"
A flabbergasted Edytheos quickly answered back, "Why at this late hour, she is fast asleep in the royal chambers. Shall I rouse her for you?"
Vadiim interrupted, "No, do not wake her. Do not alert anyone to my presence. I assure you, this visit will be brief."
Edytheos bowed again as Vadiim entered the house. In human form, he freshened himself with a bath in the hot springs. Upon entering their bedroom, he stood over Keinah, watching her sleep. Her long tresses of unruly coils spread about the pillows and even covered most of her face.
"She has been granted the status of a Princess, yet she still sleeps like a wild child in the village," he chuckled to himself.
Within a moment, he quietly slid onto the bed beside her. As he removed the covers, her tousled sleeping position revealed that her nightgown was hiked up, exposing a healthy portion of her bare buttock. This sight instantly aroused him. Of all the species he had known, only she could provoke such overwhelming emotions from him. He leaned further over her to inhale the sweet fragrance from her hair. Even though her aroma drifted throughout the estate, being that close to her caused him to become drunkenly mesmerized. His tender caress over the succulent cheek of her rump caused her to stir with fret. She opened her eyes to see Vadiim lying next to her. She yawned and rubbed her eyes to awaken.
He softly whispered to her, "There is no need to fret, my sweet love. Tis I, your husband, who has come home from yet another long journey." With all the valiant titles and honors he had gained in his lifetime, being called and acknowledged as Keinah's husband was equally cherished and important to him as being a General.
In a disappointed tone, she said, "My dear, why did no one inform me of your arrival? I could have waited outside to greet you properly, or at the very least have a hot meal prep…."
Vadiim silenced her by gently placing a finger over her mouth. Then he slowly traced the outline of her full lips with his tongue before kissing her. She knew there was nothing left to say, so surrendered to his lust. He could feel her body trembling as if to be feverishly aching for him, so he agilely eased himself between the warmth of her thighs. She graciously guided him into position before they vigorously romped about the large bed in ecstasy throughout the night.

Breaking: 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Convertible Unveiled!
Sanjoy Alexander
And the droptop mid-engined sports car is one gorgeous machine to be taken out on a sunny day.
As promised, GM has unveiled the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Convertible without messing around with the dates. The droptop's launch at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida came relatively quickly after the debut of the coupe and that's a clear indication of Chevy's plans to take on rivals in both hardtop and topless body styles in an aggressive fashion.
Heavier than the coupe by barely 102 lbs, the Corvette C8 Stingray Convertible relies on six electric motors instead of hydraulics to operate the retractable roof. Once retracted, the roof neatly stows away into a heat-shielded compartment at the back without compromising on storage space.
The roof can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph and it takes less than 16 seconds for the whole process to complete. A tiny window behind the cabin aids in reducing air re-circulation and wind noise. The manufacturer has also carried out tuning on the chassis and suspension to suit the convertible's dynamics.
Rest of the package remains identical to the coupe with a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated LT2 V8 engine producing 495 hp and 470 lb-ft directing power to the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Coming to prices, the entry-level 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Convertible is priced at $67,495 – that's dearer than the entry 1LT coupe by $7,500.
Our take? We dig the C8 convertible. More than the coupe, to be honest. Which body style the majority of customers will opt for is a question to be answered once production starts in the first quarter of 2020. The coupe production will begin a bit earlier, towards the end of 2019.

Philips BDP7300 review | What Hi-Fi?
Despite our day-to-day interaction with Blu-ray we know the average BD player will see plenty of DVDs, so it's worth pointing out that in nigh-on every case performance from the two formats will sink or swim based on the same characteristics.
The BDP7300, the first Philips Blu-ray player we've seen, is a case in point.
Once we've finished admiring the unit's rounded edges and running our fingers over the touch-sensitive buttons, we kick off by looking at the 1080p upscaling of DVD images.
Classic DVD tester Training Day shows that while black levels are handled competently and motion is fairly smooth, if not entirely unshakeable, we do clock some softness to the picture.
Detailed, wide-angle shots lack the crispness and sharpness of the best in class, as highlighted by building edges and facial features, which lack the same definition.
Sure enough, these issues are still apparent when we switch to the Blu-ray of Doubt. Yes, the image is a little sharper and colours more vibrant, while the enhanced black-level mode does a decent job of delivering solid low-light scenes, but there remains a comparative softness to proceedings.
The Philips BDP7300 is one of the cheapest machines out there, so our gripes with performance are tempered by the knowledge of the price-tag and the fact that there are certainly no holes in the specification: a Profile 2.0, BD-Live-capable, USB and Ethernet sporting player, you'll also find the elusive multichannel analogue audio outputs round the back of this unit.
We've mentioned the attention to detail given to the design and, as we've come to expect from Philips, the menus demonstrate some outside-the-box thinking, too.
The menu icons will please too, taking up as they do a hefty chunk of the screen – such clarity is a good thing.
Sonically, this machine is capable of decoding all the HD formats, and listening to the powerful soundtrack of Knowing, there's much to admire.
There isn't the same level of insight or punch as some of the more expensive players available, but at the budget end of the market the '7300 certainly holds its own.
You get what you pay for to an extent, but if you're on a budget there remains a great HD experience to enjoy here.

Apple Pay is a win for (smart) retailers
by Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery November 6, 2014: 8:15 AM ET
How Apple Pay works
When executives at the chain restaurant Panera Bread started having secret talks with Apple in June, they immediately knew Apple Pay was a safe bet.
It takes a huge target off the company's back. Apple Pay's security features mean that Panera Bread (PNRA) doesn't collect credit card data from shoppers, so it has less to lose if it ever gets hacked.
"This makes complete sense," said Blaine Hurst, a top technology executive at Panera. "It clearly reduces liability. It takes any transaction done with Apple Pay out of my major list of concerns."
Instead of handing shops your credit card, Apple Pay generates a one-time-use, unique code. It's not worth stealing.
"That's nirvana for merchants," said Jason Oxman, who heads the Electronic Transaction Association trade group.
Related: Why retailers are afraid of Apple Pay
This is important in the Age of Hacks. When thieves break into a major retailer's computers and steal credit cards, fraud charges initially hit banks but eventually slide down to the shop that got hacked.
Target (TGT) already faces $148 million in costs related to its data breach last year. Home Depot (HD) is expected to pay out even more.
Sports Authority's chief information officer, Kathy Persian, said this presents an opportunity to avoid a similar incident at her company. It's one of the reasons Sports Authority had already deployed tap-to-pay technology for Google Wallet at its 470 U.S. stores.
"It gets us out of the business of having any credit card information at all. It's a major win," she said.
'Apple Pay' may be safer than plastic
The only downside for retailers: They lose the ability to track shoppers the traditional way. Ever give up your zip code at checkout? Stores routinely pair that with your credit card number to figure out exactly who you are and where you live.
"The data is valuable. That was their only point of collection, their only anchor," said Cherian Abraham, a mobile payment expert with Experian.
That's one reason retailers like Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) have rejected Apple Pay and Google Wallet, experts say. Credit card fees are another.
But adopting Apple Pay is actually a strategic move for better customer tracking in the long run, Abraham said. If shoppers are more attached to their phones, then it's easier to communicate with them in stores via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals.
That means more personalized coupons, rewards and aisle-by-aisle tracking.

Indeed, several retailers who partnered with Apple (AAPL) told CNNMoney this technology fits perfectly with their high-tech plans. What they lose in credit card data they can make up with loyalty programs.
Persian, for example, said Sports Authority "won't lose insight" as long as customers keep using "The League" rewards program.
For Walgreen's and its subsidiary, Duane Reade, the move to mobile payments fits perfectly in their "digital wallet strategy," said Deepika Pandey, a digital marketing executive at Walgreen Co. (WAG)
"It goes beyond payments," she said. "We think about integrating our loyalty program," which exists on an app that lives in another part of the iPhone.
Merging the two isn't currently possible -- if ever. So for now, customers can pay instantly with a tap of their phone, then switch to a different app to scan themselves into the system.
And some companies hope customers will pay with their phone -- but then reach for their plastic loyalty card. That's the case at Panera, where half of its transactions come from the 18 million members who identify themselves at checkout, Hurst said.
