			<title><![CDATA[Softly, Softly (TV series)]]></title>
			<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<p>Softly, Softly is a British television drama series, produced by the BBC and screened on BBC 1 from January 1966. It centred around the work of regional crime squads, plain-clothes CID officers based in the fictional region of Wyvern - supposedly in the Bristol and Chepstow area of the UK. The series (which took its name from the proverb 'softly, softly, catchee monkey') was designed as a vehicle for Detective Chief Inspector Charles Barlow and Detective Inspector John Watt (played by Stratford Johns and Frank Windsor respectively) from the popular police series Z Cars, which had just finished its original run. Also joining them in the early series was Robert Keegan as Blackitt, the police station sergeant from Z Cars, now retired and acting as a freelance helper. The series introduced characters like Sgt. Harry Hawkins (Norman Bowler) who would become very popular and well known. Promoted over the years to Detective Chief Inspector, Hawkins stayed with the show for its entire run.</p><p>Other shorter-lived regular characters in the series early years included Alexis Kanner as DC Matt Stone. Although popular with audiences, Kanner appears to have alienated cast and crew with erratic behaviour during live recordings[citation needed], and the character was dropped after only 9 episodes. He later played the recalcitrant Number 48 in The Prisoner.</p><p>The first two series continued the trend set by producer David Rose with Z Cars, and transmitted the majority of episodes live. This was one of the last long running British TV series to do this. From series three onwards all episodes were pre-recorded.</p><p>The original theme music was, like Z Cars, a folk-song arrangement by Fritz Spiegl. It was released as a single (credited to the London Waits) on Andrew Loog Oldham's "Immediate" record label in 1966.</p><p>In 1969, to coincide with the BBC's move to colour broadcasting on BBC 1, the series changed again. Barlow, Watt and Hawkins were promoted and moved to the South East of England, to the (again) fictitious Thamesford, where they were in charge of Taskforces, groupings of police expertise and manpower drawn together for special operations. The series was to have changed its name to Taskforce, but the BBC were reluctant to drop a popular brand, and so it became Softly, Softly: Taskforce.</p><p>Johns left the 'Taskforce' series in 1972 (Barlow had his own spin-off series Barlow at Large) but it continued until 1976 with Watt in command. During the 70s Windsor also appeared as Watt in Jack the Ripper, in which he and Barlow reopened the Jack the Ripper murder casebook, and a similar series Second Verdict in which they looked into unsolved mysteries and miscarriages of justice from history.</p><p>All episodes of Taskforce survive, but much of the original Softly, Softly is lost, especially the first 2 seasons.</p><p>Source <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softly,_Softly_%28TV_series%29" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softly,_Softly_%28TV_series%29">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softly,_Softly_%28TV_series%29</a></p>

				<![CDATA[
				<p><strong>.ly</strong> (Libya) domains are more and more popular  especially in the start-up world with sites like: <a href="http://good.ly" target="_blank">good.ly</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly" target="_blank">bit.ly</a>,  <a href="http://ow.ly" target="_blank">ow.ly</a>, <a href="http://pix.ly" target="_blank">pix.ly</a>, <a href="http://img.ly" target="_blank">img.ly</a>, <a href="http://chart.ly" target="_blank">chart.ly</a>, <a href="http://jive.ly" target="_blank">jive.ly</a>, <a href="http://tweet.ly" target="_blank">tweet.ly</a>, <a href="http://jot.ly" target="_blank">jot.ly</a>, ...</p>
<p>It's becoming the #1 choice of ccTLD for entrepreneurs who can't afford or don't want to pay thousands of dollars for a .com.</p>

<p>.ly domains are also very appreciable due to to their consonance, a  lot of people tend to attach the extension to the name when pronouncing  them, for example with bit.ly: it's not <em>bit dot ly</em> it's <em>bitly</em>. It gives a sense of uniqueness to your domain.</p>
<p>In the case of <strong>current.ly</strong>, it's a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack" target="_blank" bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED">domain hack</a> and as I'm sure you are already aware this kind of domain is more and  more popular as well (e.g. del.icio.us, mag.ma, vi.sualize.us,  fav.or.it, ...). The .ly ccTLD is without a doubt the most favorable  extension to domain hacks given the <a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ly">-ly</a> suffix.</p>
<p>Each week .ly domains are being sold for several hundreds of  dollars, is it worth it? It sure is. Not only you get to have a generic  domain name but .ly websites get also a lot of press coverage (e.g. <a href="http://search.techcrunch.com/query.php?s=.ly" target="_blank" bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED">TechCrunch</a>) so it's really is a win-win deal.</p>
<p>As for the word (<a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/currently" target="_blank" bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED">currently</a>) itself, it brings a lot of potential to whatever site you're building on, proof with the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;hs=fny&amp;q=current.ly&amp;btnG=Search&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=&amp;aqi=" target="_blank" bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED">582,000,000 search results</a> in Google, and it is of course very brandable, who doesn't know the <em>telly business</em> slogan?</p>
