Well this is more exciting that a night out at the Mos Eisley Cantina: Lupita Nyong'o has been cast in the new Star Wars movie. Allegedly!
Be warned: There are HUGE, serious, big-time spoilers here at Movie Pilot, and I saw some shit about Luke and Leia that I wish I hadn't seen, so do not click if you don't want to know. But here's the Lupita scoop: She will be playing a character named Asajj Ventress.
According to the folks at ONTD (that link also has spoilers), this is what Asajj Ventress looks like:
Potential for fierceness: HIGH.

Happy Saturday, friends! We had quite a week, full of hot weather, thunderstorms, and the 4th of July right dab in the center of it all. I know not many people felt this way, but I really appreciated that the 4th fell on a Wednesday this year. It made traveling a lot easier and it was great that Matt got a day off in the middle of a work week.
This weekend, we'll be keeping busy and since the weather is so nice today, I have a few ideas!
I'd really like to head to the beach, but today might not be the best day to do it since the forecast calls for a high of only 78°. Thankfully, that temperature is perfect for a few other outdoor activities!
78° is perfect park weather. Plus, if we go at just the right time, we might have the entire park to ourselves again! I love it when that happens, it's so much less stressful for me since I tend to both helicopter parent (I'm working on that) and keep an eye out for any potential "danger".
Today is also a great day to head to Gillette Castle State Park. It's one of our favorite places to visit and since it won't be too hot, we can go hiking and enjoy a picnic lunch. Maybe I can even talk Matt into finally checking out the ferry ride to the castle!
Speaking of castles, there's one located a little closer to us, in Meriden, CT, so maybe we'll be visiting Castle Craig today? All I know is that this day is going to be full of adventure and no matter where we go, we'll probably end up geo-caching while we are there!
If you could go to any of these places today, which one would you pick? Leave a comment and let us know!

Thanks to our 4 speakers last night; Dolores Williams, Sharon Barton, Ian Whiston, and Paul Hill. It was a great success; getting everyone involved and many contributing. It gave our new members a great opportunity to find out who is who and what expertise they have to help them. We covered the use of ND filters in landscape photography, On-One Software, preparing a photo in Photoshop and print mounting.
NO meeting at Crewe Library next week. Instead we all decamp to the Alsager 13 Club to see the 5-Towns Monochrome Print Competition hosted by Alsager CC. The judge is one of the most respected in the Union (and nationally too now), Christine Widdall, so a great opportunity to see a top judge in action and witness us give Nantwich, Alsager, Sandbach and Whitchurch a good run for their money! The event STARTS at 7.30. Please note this, get there early, the car park looks a good size but if you cannot find a space you will have to use the Library Car park and make the short walk. See PROGRAMME.
The PAGB Inter-Club Print Championships at Edge Hill University – 9.30 on 25 October. 36 clubs, representing all 15 Federations of photographic societies will do battle for the Championship Trophy. This is a great opportunity to see what the top clubs are up to with their prints – the very best showcase there is for club work. Tickets are limited in number, so go for it, tickets are available here. Also PAGB enews is all about the Championships – read it here.[wpfilebase tag=fileurl id=213 linktext='PAGB eNews 124′ /]
Photography Day at Tutbury Castle – 5th October. This was mentioned last night. Tickets are £10 and car parking £1. I would expect we can get £1 off for 10 tickets but it is a bit tight to organise now with no meeting next week at Crewe. I'll be in touch again about this.
We are now making selections for the Robertshaw Trophy. The event is on 6 October the event is hosted by Macclesfield and is at their club room, the Library in Macclesfield. Entries have to be in on Monday.
All details are on the PROGRAMME and/or EVENTS page.


text: FA Cup visits Street League Manchester Participants from Street League, the national charity which uses football to tackle youth unemployment, were given a once-in-a-lifetime experience when the FA Cup was brought to the charity's Manchester Academy programme as part of the BBC's FA Cup tour. The young people on the Academy were given the chance to take a 'selfie' with one of the most coveted trophies in the football world, and were interviewed by the BBC about their FA Cup memories. Watch the video here! John, who joined Street League having been unemployed for nearly a year said: "Seeing the FA Cup and thinking of how many great footballers have lifted the trophy was just surreal. Not even professional footballers get to experience this so for us to have the chance to have our picture taken was an honour. When I was growing up, my whole family would sit in front of the TV watching the FA Cup. They would have loved to have experienced this." Stephen Hughes, Street League's Manchester Operations Manager, said: "For the BBC to come and visit the Academy was a fantastic compliment to the work we do with the young people on our programme. There was a huge buzz amongst the group when we told them that the BBC were coming to film and that they would actually get to touch the FA Cup! I think it will be a moment that will stick with them for a very long time." Charles Runcie, Head of BBC Sport, English Regions, says: "The FA Cup has got to be one of the most famous trophies in world sport. It's great we're able to bring it to so many different places where there some inspiring footballing projects going on. To see the trophy up close and personal – it's almost as good as scoring the winner at Wembley!"

Counterfeit Religion of the Beast
SYNOPSIS: The "beast from the sea" is a counterfeit who mimics the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, in order to deceive the saints and, thus, destroy them.
|Daniel Klaffke on Unsplash
The book of Revelation includes a vision of two different beasts; one that ascends from the sea and, the second, from the "earth." The first Beast is a composite of four creatures from Daniel's vision of four beasts that he saw ascending out of a chaotic sea (Revelation 13:1-18, Daniel 7:1-8).
The description of the "beast from the earth" in Revelation combines langue from two different passages from the book of Daniel:
- (Daniel 7:17) - "These four are four kings that will ascend out of the earth."
- (Daniel 3:1-7) - "Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and its breadth six cubits."
In Daniel, the four beasts represent four consecutive kingdoms, beginning with Babylon. However, while Daniel saw four individual beasts, John saw only one and it possessed the characteristics of all four of the beasts from the vision of Daniel.
The beast from the sea in the book of Revelation is characterized by its political, economic, and military might ("Who can make war with it?"). It first appeared in the vision of the "Two Witnesses." After they completed their testimony, the "beast that ascends from the Abyss made war with them, overcame them, and killed them." The Two Witnesses are identified as "lampstands"; that is, they represent churches (Revelation 1:20, 11:4-7).
The beast next appears in Revelation 13:1 when John sees it "ascending from the sea." Its ascent from the sea is the same reality as the beast that "ascended from the Abyss." Like the Dragon, this beast has seven heads and ten horns, for it operates with all the authority of the Dragon (Revelation 11:7, 12:9, 13:1-3).
|By Malcolm Lightbody on Unsplash
One of its seven heads appeared as though "slain unto death, and its death-stroke was healed." This was not a prediction of a future politician who would be assassinated and restored to life miraculously. The beast is more than an individual; it symbolizes a political system and has the characteristics of all four kingdoms from the vision of Daniel (Revelation 13:3, 17:9-10).
"As having been slain." This replicates a Greek clause applied previously to the slain Lamb ("A lamb standing as having been slain"). Likewise, the beast was "wounded by the sword and lived." The same Greek verb for "lived" is applied to the Lamb and the beast ("The words of the first and the last, who died and lived" - Revelation 2:8, 5:6, 13:3, 13:14).
The restoration of the head of the beast mimics the death and resurrection of Jesus. Its "resurrection" causes the "inhabitants of the earth" to render homage to it; it is a counterfeit of the true Lamb.
The Beast uses its power "to make war against the saints" and "to overcome them". The repetition of terms from the slaying of the two witnesses by the "beast from the abyss" is deliberate; again, the same reality is in view in both visions. The term "saints" refers to the same group that was represented by the "two witnesses"; the "war" waged against the latter is the same as the "war" that the beast from the sea wages against the saints (Revelation 11:7, 13:7-10).
The war of the beast against the saints ends with the exhortation: "If anyone has an ear, let him hear…Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints". This call is reiterated in Revelation 14:12 where the "saints" are identified as "those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." This group consists of followers of the Lamb (Revelation 8:3-4, 11:18, 14:12, 16:6, 17:6).
The first beast is the most impressive and frightening of the two. However, the importance of the second beast, the beast "from the earth," and its use of a counterfeit religion to deceive must not be downplayed. It plays a vital part in leading men into the idolatrous allegiance to the first Beast and it does so by means of religious practices, not violence and oppression.
The second beast "ascends out of the earth" and has "two horns like a lamb." "Lamb" translates a Greek diminutive for "little lamb" (arnion) that is applied to Jesus in Revelation; thus, the beast from the earth mimics Jesus, the true Lamb; it is a counterfeit (Revelation 5:5-6, 13:11).
The second beast has two horns. The number means that it mimics the "Two Witnesses" who bore prophetic witness, and, like Elijah, they had the power to devour their enemies by fire. Likewise, this "beast" performs miracles like Moses and Elijah; it "makes fire come down out of heaven upon the earth." Thus, the second Beast presents a counterfeit prophetic witness to the "inhabitants of the earth," one that directs humanity to a false messiah, the "beast from the sea" (Revelation 11:4-5, 13:13, 1 Kings 18:38, 2 Kings 1:10).
The "beast from the sea" is a counterfeit of Jesus Christ that is proclaimed to the earth by its "prophet," one who "speaks like the Dragon." Elsewhere in the book, the latter is called the "false prophet." The "false prophet" has already been anticipated in the letters to the churches of Asia when Jesus criticized the teachings of the "false apostles," the "Nicolaitans," Jezebel, and the teachings of Balaam (Revelation 2:2-6; 2:14-15, 16:13, 19:20, 20:10).
In other words, the false prophet was already active within the churches of Asia. The second beast possessed all the "authority of the first beast to cause the inhabitants of the earth to render homage to the first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed," which it achieved this by performing "great signs" (Revelation 2:2-6; 2:14-15, 16:13, 19:20, 20:10).
The description is parallel to the warning of Jesus about coming deceivers and "false prophets" that will work "signs and wonders" to deceive the elect; likewise, to Paul's warning about the deceitful activities of the "man of lawlessness" that he linked to a coming "apostasy" (Matthew 24:24, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10).
The false prophet in the book of Revelation uses "signs and wonders" to "deceive those who dwell on the earth" so they will build an image to the "beast from the sea." The description of the "number of the beast," six hundred and sixty-six, builds on verbal allusions to the story of the enormous golden image "set up" by Nebuchadnezzar in the "Plain of Dura":
- (Daniel 3:1-7) – "Nebuchadnezzar made an image…the height thereof sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits…the king ordered all peoples, races, and tongues to fall down and render homage to the image. Whoever did not render homage to the image was slain."
- (Revelation 13:14-18) – The second Beast "causes the earth's inhabitants to make an image to the Beast who had the stroke of the sword and lived…It caused that as many as should not render homage to the image… should be slain. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand or upon their forehead…six hundred and sixty and six."
The first beast is given authority over "every tribe and people and tongue and nation," the same authority claimed by Nebuchadnezzar. The literary source for the number of the beast links it to idolatry. But the beast also wields political and economic power to compel men and women to render homage to it; idolatrous religion and the power of the State are intermixed.
Nebuchadnezzar forced everyone in his empire to fall prostrate before his image, slaying all who refused to do so; likewise, the same fate awaits anyone who does not render homage to the image of the beast. The attempt to slay the three Jews who refused to worship the Babylonian image foreshadows the fate of all "saints" that refuse to take the mark of the Beast or to worship its image. Thus, the Dragon uses persecution and religious deception to wage war against the saints.
The height of Nebuchadnezzar's great image was "sixty" cubits and its width "six cubits." The expansion of the number in Revelation may intensify its symbolic significance. Similarly, the "ten days of tribulation" given to the church at Smyrna are cubed to become the "thousand years" during which martyrs reign with Jesus as "priests" (10 x 10 x 10 [Revelation 2:10, 20:2-4]). The reign of the saints is paradoxical; it is of a different nature than the reign of the Dragon or his Beast.
The number six hundred and sixty-six is figurative. Both the background from Daniel and the context link it to idolatry, a sin of concern throughout Revelation. The "mark of the Beast" is contrasted with the "seal of God" and His name on the foreheads of them who follow the Lamb. The Beast's mark is a counterfeit of the seal of God, as is his "name." If God's seal is not a visible mark, neither is the Beast's mark. Humanity falls into two categories - Those who follow the Lamb and have the seal of God, and, Those who take the mark of the Beast and render homage to it (Revelation 7:1-3, 14:1-4).
The beast system on some level will be an imitation of Jesus, a counterfeit of the true faith. This may include religious rites, language, and symbolism borrowed from Christianity; it will mimic the genuine article. The goal of the Dragon is to destroy the church. Christians are not easily fooled by non-Christian beliefs and practices; however, Satan can appear as an "angel of light" and the best deception is one that imitates the true faith.
Christians alert for the rise of religious deception in non-Christians religions, philosophies, and movements ought to watch developments closer to home. The Devil is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, especially within the church.
Followers of Jesus should exercise caution towards "Christian" organizations, preachers, and "prophets" that glorify political systems, ideologies or governments, especially, any and all attempts to identify Christianity with a nation, government, or political movement. Biblical Christianity does have a decided political side to it; the kingdom of God. But the allegiance demanded by its king is total, leaving no room for divided loyalties.

Fundraising at any cost
This editorial writer below must have read some of LAAG's articles written in the November 2006 election cycle as the selling of drugs line sounds familiar. LAAG did not "advocate" the selling of drugs just nice legal ("safe and sane") cigarettes. Those sell really well, are high priced (good profit margin), sell year round, and have very reliable big companies behind them that I am sure would be willing to share a little profit "for the children" just like the fireworks companies. The added benefit of allowing this form of distrobution is that you get the kids to back the selling of the product. And who can argue against sales of anything that benefits kids!! Plus like fireworks, tobacco has a long "honored tradition" in this country. Its almost un-American not to grow and sell tobacco. Lets not forget that a few of the founding fathers were tobacco farmers. (long American tradition as you recall is a big agrument fireworks promoters try to throw in if the "children" argument does not work on someone) And tobacco is still grown today. Plus its totally legal and when used responsibly does not start fires.(so we could label them "safe and sane" ciagarettes...but just the ones sold for the kids) So whats the problem? Well you see cigarettes got a bum rap a few years back by these darn "health advocates" as we learned that even though people really like them it turns out they have no redeeming qualities and cause harm...sort of like fireworks. Sooner or later as the effects of global warming ravish this state and fires are a year round condition and people have to pay a carbon tax for the air pollution they cause (via fireworks), perhaps the civics groups and the "kiddies" will have to give cigarette sales another look. After all the ends always justify the means when comes to the kiddies new baseball uniforms right?
OP ED: MY TURN - July 16, 2008
By Peter S. Beck, Pacifica CA
Article Launched: 07/16/2008 02:00:00 PM PDT
Every year on the 4th of July, our city becomes one of only a few in the entire Bay Area to allow fireworks to be sold and ignited within the limits of the city.
Not only do we allow it, we pursue the sale of fireworks with such abandon, that we attract citizens of many other, more sane communities, to our rapidly constructed, temporary sales offices.
For the 17 years that I have lived in this city, I have read the numerous arguments for preserving this idiotic tradition.
It is always the same drivel, "without the fireworks revenue, our programs could not survive", or "We would have to pursue other means to raise the money that would never make as much money as the sale of fireworks", or "We make all the money we need all year in just a few days selling fireworks".
Might I suggest a few alternative measures: sell drugs, sure they're illegal, but with a little effort, our local city council could probably declare them necessary to support our various civic programs.
But drugs are harmful and people get addicted, you might say. No more addicted than all the people in our city who simply must celebrate the birth of our nation, by blowing up fireworks all night long.
Actually, that makes a lot of sense, if you blow up fireworks, you don't have to think about the sacrifices our forefathers made to establish and nurture our great country. Blowing up fireworks makes us all as smart as 5th graders and isn't that what we all strive for?
Don't you love the signs on all of our fireworks stores? "Pacifica is a Zero Tolerance City".
If you have no tolerance, you have to be able to enforce it don't you? Like keeping dogs on leashes, driving 45 miles per hour on Highway 1, actually signaling when you make a turn, or even granting the right of way to the other driver.
Yes sir, we are a no tolerance city alright, the only problem is, that nobody cares and we can't do anything to stop it. So let's see, we've discussed selling drugs as an alternative, if that doesn't work, let's sell cigarettes and liquor to all of our underage residents. I bet that will give us enough revenue to support all of our civic programs.
Let's stretch our virtual reality a bit. Suppose your entire state is engulfed in wildfires. There are over 18,000 firefighters working day and night to control these wildfires. Highways adjacent to many of these fires have been closed to all traffic and, to top it all off, we have been warned to stay indoors because the wildfire smoke air we are breathing is dangerous.
What do we do to help this situation? Why here in our city, we sell fireworks and encourage everyone to set them off adding both smoke and danger to an already dangerous situation.
I realize that this sounds a little stupid, but how will we ever be able to pay for all of our civic programs without fireworks?
So let's cut down all the redwoods and sell the wood, let's burn down the forests and pollute the air because, by George, we need that revenue to run our civic programs and coming up with alternatives just takes too much thought and too much effort. Wait till next year, we'll have even bigger and better bombs for sale.
Maybe next year we can add rifles, pistols and a few rocket launchers too. Happy 4th of July folks and keep those excuses coming.

The 2005 Nissan Pathfinder has impressive dimensions: the length of its body is 4740 mm, width – 1850 mm, and height – 1775 millimeters. Because of the latter figure, the car might seem a little "squat". However, it doesn't have an impact on the space inside the car: the car can easily accommodate seven people. In case if it is planned to carry up to four passengers, the third row of seats can be folded, this will increase the boot capacity to 515 liters.
The interior is good enough. Leather adjustable seats, a display with rearview camera, dual-zone climate control and cruise control make a good impression.
Initially, the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder was presented with only one diesel engine capacity of 2.5 liters and output of 174 horsepower, but later they offered the option of the SUV with a three-liter 231-horsepower diesel engine. As for transmissions, there are two options: a six-speed "mechanics" and five-step "automatic".
Fuel consumption is relatively small – the combined cycle model with a 2.5-liter engine and manual transmission consumes 8.7 liters of fuel.
The average price:$9,177

Saw a dark emerald metallic current gen CTS today for the first time. It is GORGEOUS. It stays parked under a tree in the office complex adjacent to mine and I always thought it was black at a glance, but today it was in a sunny spot and it looked incredible.
It photographs really poorly and neither of those pictures does it justice, but sign me up for an ATS-V sedan in dark emerald with peanut butter leather interior. Sadly, I think the color is only available on the CTS and Escalade for now, but that should change.
I remember shopping for my 3rd gen 4runner and every time an imperial jade 02 would come up for sale I would pretty much ignore the condition and go check it out. The perfect immaculate 02 was swiped from under me while I was at work and it was a real heartbreaker, especially considering the 02 I bought instead had a huge rust hole in the frame.
Any cars you wish came in dark green? I can think of a hundred.

Last Saturday Michael had his reunion dinner for the summer program he runs every summer. It is always a fun event for him and reminded me that it is almost time to recruit for the program. If you are in contact with high school kids (youth group, homeschooling, sports, etc.) and would like some brochures to share, please let me know.
Sunday we went to brunch at the house of some friends who also have five kids. It was such an enjoyable way to spend a Sunday. The gal made a potato casserole dish that was to die for! I ate so much of it that I literally felt sick later.
Monday was our real day to "get back into things." Michael started back to class, Malcolm went to the sitter, and we started our second week of LMCA's second quarter. It's been harder for us to get back into routine and the right thing to do was make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and split a bottle of wine with my husband. Comfort food at its finest.
Wednesday was Henry's birthday party. We rented out the roller skating rink with two other families. It was a lot of fun. I got some photos and will have to post them soon.
I just can not kick this bad cold I have. It's not the coughing, runny nose cold. It is more like the sore throat, feeling run down cold. I've had it a week now. Thankfully James is old enough to handle things so on Thursday morning when I had to stay in bed until noon, Michael still went to work and James helped the younger kids with school work and kept them entertained until I felt like I might survive outside of bed.
So I am working with the website designer and he is designing the website for LMCA. He is unbelievable! Not only is the website going to look amazing, but he doesn't seem bothered in the slightest by my requests and all. Even when I request something on Monday and do a complete 180 on Wednesday for the same thing. This man is a Saint!
More and more I am regretting my decision to shop at Target after Thanksgiving. I don't get out there very often because it is not close to us. But I did shop there once after Thanksgiving and ended up returning my purchase because I found a better price online.
I adore Target, and it doesn't appear as though my info was hacked. But everyday there are new levels to the breach and my credit card company issued me a new card as a precaution, and now Target is emailing me advices I get credit monitoring on their dime.
I have a friend with four kids and the holidays see them getting iPad-mini's and flat screen TV's. Know what? She doesn't charge a single dime for any of it. Pays cash for the whole Christmas haul. I might have to start following her example.

Shares of Idea Cellular tanked 6.65 per cent, while Bharti Airtel plunged 4.87 per cent. Telecom stocks fell by as much as 7 per cent amid concerns that Reliance Jio Infocomm's participation in the upcoming spectrum auction will hurt market share and profitability of telcos.
Similarly, Reliance Communications lost 3.74 per cent on the BSE.
"Telecom stocks fell amid worries that Reliance Jio Infocomm's participation in the upcoming spectrum auction will hurt the market share and profitability of telcos," said Paras Bothra, Research Head, Ashika Stock Brokers.
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and a surprise entrant Reliance Industries are among the 8 telecom operators that have applied for bidding in the next month's spectrum auction through which the government is expecting at least Rs 11,300 crore. Tata Teleservices, Idea Cellular Ltd and Anil Ambani Group's Reliance Communications were the other prominent firms to apply at the close of applications yesterday.
The application by Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries's telecom arm, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd came as a surprise as the company is working to launch 4G wireless broadband services soon.
About 403 megahertz of 2G spectrum in the 1800 MHz band and 46 MHz of spectrum in the premium 900 MHz band is being put up for auction.

These are rants, but interesting ones. The first swing is at the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa:
In my home city, Cape Town, for instance, we are putting up an enormous and ruinously expensive 68,000 seat German-designed super venue. The stadium already dwarfs the commonage and low-rise flatland of its well-to-do Green Point neighbourhood, and it's not even half-finished. At a current estimate of 4.5bn rand (£250m), it's already 50% over budget, but it's early days.
Not only is the stadium far too big for a city where even premier league matches struggle to attract 15,000 spectators, but most of those spectators live far away in the dusty townships of the Cape Flats.
...All in all, South Africans will be forking out for five brand new super-stadia as well as elaborate extensions and upgrades to five existing ones.
We're also spending money we don't have on bigger airports, new airports, more roads and a very expensive high-speed train which may or may not be ready in time to whisk visiting fans from Johannesburg's revamped or Tambo Airport to the swanky hotel and shopping district of Sandton.
And because our national electricity provider has unexpectedly run out of capacity, we are importing brand new diesel-fired back-up generators, and extra diesel, just to make sure the floodlights stay on.
Next up, Simon Jenkins on the 2012 Olympics in London:
First cut the crap. Stop talking about legacy, which never happens. Every Olympian knows that legacy is grass growing over defunct velodromes, cracked concourses and ghost villages. Not a penny of the £9bn is going on sport - that is extra - but on buildings, fees and salaries. The head of UK Sport, John Steele, has already declared that his own demand for money "is investment directed at delivering medal-winning performances". Whatever happened to just playing the game?
[Gordon] Brown was vociferous in attacking City bonuses. What about his Olympics gravy train? At the last count there were 200 officials in the Olympic Development Authority. The lowest-paid member of its management team is on £243,000, and the highest, David Higgins, £624,000.
They are apparently not up to the job and need a consultancy firm, CLM, with a further 300 staff, to help manage the project, at an astonishing fee of £400m over four years. This firm had the effrontery last year to charge (the taxpayer) a further £10m in staff bonuses on a project that has tripled in expense.
A quite separate body is the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, whose head is paid £557,000 and whose members get a reported £1,000 just for attending a meeting. How can Brown insult City bankers when allowing this sort of greed to continue?
These can't possibly be annual salaries, can they Nick? Regardless, Jenkins has more:
Simply managing the project is now budgeted to cost £647m, up from £16m in 2005 - more than will be spent on supporting any Olympic athletes.
As totem of this racket, 3,000 limousines are being obtained to ferry Olympics officials to Stratford up a special red-light free "Zil lane" on the Mile End Road. The lane will be banned even to athletes' cars. Yet these same officials demanded that London ratepayers build them a unique train service, the Javelin, from St Pancras, which they are now too grand to use. It is beyond satire.
The 2012 project has ballooned into a giant bureaucracy with a small sporting festival attached, and is beyond ministerial control. Tessa Jowell [the Olympics Minister(!)] can only chant her Olympic motto, that in this business she "spends to save".
The world's greatest white elephant, the "sustainable" £500m athletics stadium, should be stopped now. It will stand empty after the games since nobody wants it. As Building Design magazine said a year ago, "There is nothing sustainable about building an 80,000-seat stadium for less than two months' use" at the highest cost per seat in the world.
Funny how these fat cats can crawl on the "sustainable" train. Do read the whole thing.

Over the past week our data has been all over the place on the global graph.
This was due to a migration process in which we put a VPS up for a new database server, and it simply could not handle the load.
We have since then swapped out the database server with a new dedicated server which costs less, and will handle the load more efficiently (yes I said costs less, it's because we're awesome like that). Since swapping out the server data has started to look less erratic, and the infrastructure as a whole is a lot more stable.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to get a sneak preview of the upcoming Beethoven Festival. Camerata San Antonio offered a private concert of some of the Beethoven cello and piano sonatas, played by cellist Ken Freudigman and pianist Kristin Roach. Now I'm REALLY excited about what's about to come to San Antonio…
Of the four works played last night, only the Sonata Op. 69 was familiar to me. It is a towering work. Written at the same time Beethoven wrote his fifth and six symphonies, it captures all the drama of his most heroic works. But, because it is chamber music, it offers insights into that period that are harder to hear when you just listen to the symphonies.
Symphonies are big and loud. Because the composer has to work with the textures of such large forces, sometimes they are actually less complex than chamber music. What struck me last night was how brilliantlhy Beethoven weaves his thematic material back and forth between the cello and the piano. In these sonatas, it is easy to follow Beethoven's line of reasoning. Sometimes, you just get overwhelmed by the power of the symphonies.
Beethoven's great innovation is elevating the development section. In the Classical era that preceded him, the composers (like Haydn and Mozart) certainly developed their themes. But, in the overall structure of a movement, the presentation of the theme was more important. This is revealed in the timing. A typical Haydn or Mozart symphony lasts about 20 or 25 minutes. Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, "Eroica" is twice as long. Just the first movement is as long as most of the symphonies written just 25 years earlier. Much of this increased length comes from the huge development section of the first movement.
Here is a chart I found on the BBC web site that compares the structure and timing of the first movements of Mozart's Symphony No. 40 with Beethoven's Symphony No. 3. Beethoven composed this symphony only 16 years after Mozart wrote his penultimate symphony.
Do you see how much bigger the red section is in Beethoven's symphony? No composer before Beethoven had done this and for the next 100 years or so, composers were influenced by this idea of extended development.
What is Beethoven doing that is so different? First he picks very simple themes. The opening melody of Beethoven symphonies 3 or 5 couldn't be duller. But, he picks themes that offer huge possibilities for variation. During these development section he strays farther away from his original key. He also introduces new themes in the middle of the development section. This web site put it this way:
Beethoven's innovation was the ability to rapidly establish a solidity in juxtaposing different keys and unexpected notes to join them. This expanded harmonic realm creates a sense of a vast musical and experiential space through which the music moves, and the development of musical material creates a sense of unfolding drama in this space.
…The very long development section of the Eroica Symphony, for example, is divided into four roughly equal sections, making it, in effect, a sonata form within a sonata form.
The other color in the chart above that sticks out is the purple coda section. A coda is a passage of music that brings the movement to the end. Beethoven's endings are dramatic, complex and far longer than any composer before had dared.
Hearing Beethoven's development of the development section is going to be possible during this festival mainly because there are three complete sets of sonatas being performed–the 32 piano sonatas, the 10 violin sonatas and the 5 cello sonatas. The chamber music in the Festival will be something you don't want to miss (not that Beethoven symphonies aren't great, of course!)

Gallery Wendi Norris
94105 San Francisco
In 2003 Raman Frey and Wendi Norris set out to create a compelling program of exhibitions with a strong focus on the global arts market. Frey Norris Contemporary & Modern has introduced major artists from abroad through their first exhibitions in the United States - conversely the gallery facilitates its American artists' visibility within the United States and overseas. Thoughtful collectors from around the world turn to Frey Norris as a partner in the selective building of their art collections. These collections combine the clients' tastes and curatorial aims with Frey Norris' savvy and connoisseurship, the gallery's ability to identify high quality and rare contemporary and modern works of art.
Emblematic of the gallery's trans-cultural nature are both the artists themselves and the content of their work. From its original Geary Street location to the current 5,100 square foot Gensler-designed space near SFMOMA, Frey Norris integrates its contemporary and modern artists into the global community of art professionals, institutions and collectors. Frey Norris works with artists on gallery exhibitions, facilitates museum exhibitions around the world, project manages the fabrication and placement of public art, develops projects in cooperation with arts non-profits, publishes exhibition catalogues, facilitates the creation of artist monographs, spearheads media outreach and exhibits at prominent international art fairs.
With professional backgrounds in art and antiquities, executive management and economics, coupled with similar ethics and ambitions, the Frey Norris partnership was inspired from the outset. Integral to the gallery's success is the sense of teamwork Frey and Norris have created, based on their mutual commitment to the pursuit of art as an intellectual endeavor, as well as a belief in art as a vehicle for the healthy exchange of ideas. The partners allocate a large portion of their time and energy staying informed of global art trends and ideas, aiming to connect these to the local and national picture - a rare, ambitious and broad awareness that Frey Norris is committed to maintaining.
Former location: 456 Geary St., San Francisco, CA 94102

Don't worry, I'm not talking about turning to the darkside and taking up knitting (although I wouldn't mind making my own matching wool scarf and woobie set for winter, especially if it's as cold as last year.)
Instead, I'm talking about another blackhole of woodworking that I've been very vocal about avoiding for years…WOODTURNING!
Sure I've had the lathe for awhile now, and yes I've dabbled a little bit with it here and there. But I've never taken the plunge and unleashed the full power of the turning tools.
Recently I moved the lathe up and out of the basement workshop and into the garage where I could enjoy the warm summer evenings and not feel like I had to stop every five to ten minutes to vacuum up the accumulating chips and sawdust.
On today's episode you get to witness the fruits of my dabbling. The result of what happens when a woodworker decides to make more than a dowel and attempts to learn what each woodturning tool does (preferably without hurting himself in the process.)
You'll see plenty of mistakes in this video and probably laugh at my fumbling with the tools (especially when I attempt to identify which gouge I'm using) but hopefully more than anything else, you'll enjoy seeing the first of what I imagine to be numerous woodturning projects to come.

And so it begins … I was in your shoes 4 years ago. I still do a **little** flat work, but turning has become my passion.
That was a pretty good first turning … keep it up! The more you do, the more your tool technique will improve.
If you haven't found him yet, you might want to look up Eddie Castelin (http://www.eddiecastelin.net). Eddie is a woodturning guru who is a fine teacher and great resource. He has tons of YouTube videos and twice a week does live UStream shows where he works on projects, takes questions from viewers, etc.
Better watch out. Soon you'll be making pens!! Oh, the horror!!
You, my friend, are a mind reader! I just glued up a maple blank to turn a chisel mallet the other day. I like the general shape of the finished piece. Great video!
Oh no , now you will be one of those insufferable wood turners who make wonderful magic stuff. I have no lathe….tool envy
Nice job! I've also just started with some turning. I don't think it will ever be my passion, but I do enjoy it. I started with pens and bottle stoppers, and I want to make some mallets and small bowls.
As for the weight of the mallet…you can always bore a hole in the top and add some weight, and then seal it up with epoxy or a nice contrasting wood.
Matt ,
A friend of my brothers makes pens and sells them for ridiculous prices so don't give up on the pens just yet. Love your mallet. You said it was a little light which will work well with chisels as you said. Great job.
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My blog is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my visitors would really benefit from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Thank you!
Carefull Matt, wood turning is very addictive.

3 Ways Family Trees Inspire Me--Thanks Matthew McConaghey!
If you're a Matthew McConaughey fan, you probably remember the acceptance speech he gave in 2014 when he was awarded Best Actor. If not, you should probably go watch it (we've got the video for you down below!) because it's pretty phenomenal. In it, he talks about needing three things: something to look up to, something to look forward to, and someone to chase. We believe these same three things are what make family trees so inspiring!
Someone to chase
While a family tree chart simply shows the names of our ancestors, behind each name is a lifetime of stories. Some of our ancestors are worth emulating... others perhaps not so much. As we use our pedigree charts as a starting point learn the stories behind each name and how they all fit together, we'll be able to identify role models from among our ancestors and chase them towards victories over our own unique challenges.
Something to look forward to
As we come to know our ancestors better, we can look forward to being reunited with those who have become our dear friends throughout the eternities. Although I never had an opportunity to meet my Grandpa Cutler in this life, because of the autobiography he wrote and the stories he left behind as related by my grandma, aunts, and uncles I feel that I already know him, and eagerly look forward to meeting him in the next life.
Something to look up to
In his speech, McConaughey sites God as the person he looks up to. We couldn't agree more with him, both in life and when thinking about family history. The most oft-quoted scripture relating to genealogy work is found in Malachi 4:5-6, which reads:
Our Heavenly Father places great emphasis on the eternal nature and importance of the family, and as we seek for our ancestors and to know them better we fulfill the commandment in Malachi to turn our hearts to our fathers. As we look up to God, our family history becomes infinitely more meaningful.

A gameplay video has been released for a new build of PolyRace, a game that looks like a mix between Race the Sun and Wipeout.

Dan Hagen on MediaTel Newsline: The New Day: industry reacts to launch edition
Views 29/02/2016
This week Trinity Mirror launched a new daily national newspaper, The New Day. The first standalone national daily newspaper for 30 years, The New Day will run up to 40 pages per copy, Monday to Friday, covering news and topical content in a 'politically neutral' and 'balanced' way - "without telling the reader what to think". It was available for free on its first day (Monday 29 February), before trialling at 25p for two weeks and 50p from then on. Here, Dan Hagen from Carat gives his verdict on what he's seen so far.
"Coming hot on the heels of the Indy going all digital, it's an interesting and brave move launching The New Day as the first new print title in 30 years.
"There can be no doubt that we are marching relentlessly towards an increasingly digital economy, but that doesn't mean everything we'll be doing will be digital in nature. Rather, it means we need to be thinking digitally in everything we do; for analogue media or digital media.
"The New Day has a digital feel to it. It's visual, quick and gives me an overview of important and trivial things all together in a neat and tidy package. It's not organised like a traditional paper, but organised with a digital mind set, less linear with trivial variety packaged around some harder hitting subject matter (based on issue one!).
"So will this resonate with advertisers? I'll go with a maybe - it's all about the audience it attracts - not necessarily the size of the audience (although some critical mass will be important) but rather the quality and depth of relationship that audience develops with the brand.
"It's also going to be important how they leverage their social extensions, keeping the reader dialogue going across platforms and over time."
Dan's comments originally appeared on MediaTel Newsline on 29/02/16

The star witness against Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone is to be recalled to testify, a German court has ruled after questioning Gerhard Gribkowsky, a former banker who is serving prison time for bribe-taking.
Ecclestone, 83, admitted paying Gribkowsky $US44 million ($A47 million) but denied it was a bribe.
"I have the feeling that the defence still has some questions," presiding Judge Peter Noll said as he discharged Gribkowsky after three days on the witness stand.
He is to return July 30.
The F1 boss's lawyers have argued that Ecclestone paid the money out of fear and got no advantage from Gribkowsky, who was chief risk officer of the Bayern LB bank, which had a majority stake in F1.
Prosecutors have charged Ecclestone with corrupting a public official and inciting misappropriation.
They said the motive was to ensure London-based CVC, Ecclestone's preferred investor, won control of F1.
Gribkowsky, 56, has essentially backed that up in his testimony, saying Ecclestone was worried he would lose his lucrative job as chief executive of F1 if a hostile investor took over.
But Gribkowsky has held back from saying CVC, a private-equity fund, bought F1 at less than market value, and denied that anyone had topped CVC's bid.
Bayern LB sold its stake in F1, acquired in a mortgage foreclosure, for $US840 million to CVC in 2006.
Noll read an email from Bluewater, another bidder, that said it was offering 1 billion euros for the stake and would overbid any rival offer by 10 per cent. Gribkowsky responded he could not remember that email.
In 2012, Noll sentenced Gribkowsky to eight and a half years in prison for accepting a bribe.
The trial is set to conclude September 16.

When recessions hit, we historically see a conversion of full-time workers into part-time workers. This is visible in the recession of 2008-2009.
The increase in part-time workers is also visible in the chart below, which shows how many hours people work per week. We see that the average weekly hours dropped in the 2008-2009 recession and it is starting to drop in 2014. This means that a new recession is in the making in 2014. The key is to predict recessions by looking at the increase in part-time employment.
When Obamacare rolls out in 2014, we will continue to see a shift to part-time employment as employers will fire full-time workers (>30 hours/week) and hire part-time workers (<30 hours/week) to avoid paying for Obamacare.

Project Description
WSUD in streets is better than WSUD in parks
With an emphasis on mitigating urban heat and managing 15mm as close to source as possible, leaky pits, tree pits and biofilters in road reserves and medians are considered good options. However there is often a battle for space between services and driveways and other essential bits of our streetscape. How do you fit it all in?
But we have also seen poor outcomes where drainage takes up too much useable space in our parks. So which location is better? Which is hydaulically more efficient? Which delivers better community outcomes? Is maintenance of WSUD assets easier in streets or parks?
The Great Debate considered these questions and much more. At our water industry night we heard from interesting, passionate and dynamic industry people going head to head to convince the audience of their arguments.
Debate adjudicator: Jeremy Cordina, Parcel Property
Affirmative team (better in streets): (click on surname to view the slide shows)
Negative team (better in parks):
The winner?
This was the second debate in the series – and it proved to be as informative, entertaining and engaging as last year's. The debaters argued whether WSUD was best in streets or parks – and they got serious! Presentations showed the best and worst of both, arguments were convincing and powerful. However in the end, our esteemed adjudicator, Jeremy Cordina, made a great call. That there is no single best place for WSUD and each and every situation is unique as are its need (or not) for WSUD. Basically, the more WSUD the better – we need to protect our precious water resources and help recharge as much water as we can, providing filtration along the way to benefit the community and environment to the best of our ability.
Thanks to Nick Deeks, Janine Ahola and May Carter (affirmative team – streets) and to Carl Done, Carla Ramsland and Wayne Edgeloe (negative team – parks) for a GREAT debate! See you all for round 3 in 2018!
These events only happen with the generous support of our sponsors
– for providing a venue to host the debate in.
– for their partnership and support in events such as these, bringing their expertise and knowledge to the room.

In a vacuum, professional wrestling has always been treated as an entertainment genre that's a little bit different, oftentimes figuratively placed on its own shelf for its fans to defend its uniqueness and for its detractors to point at and poke fun.
But every genre of entertainment and sport at some point dips its toe in the mainstream water, and wrestling is no different. Back in the '80s, when wrestling went from a regional, souped-up carny endeavor to a national product, largely under Vince McMahon's WWF banner, it did so by partnering with the music industry — MTV, Cyndi Lauper, Rock and Wrestling, all roads leading to the first Wrestlemania.
Back then, while wrestling became more chic to watch and admit to watching, there was still a separation of church and state when it came to wrestling and "real" sports. The partnership with the music world was enough to move McMahon's and the WWF's needle.
Today, WWE (the current name of the WWF) is more about making its product feel "real," despite the fact that we all know the outcomes of the matches are predetermined. This is born partially from a smarter fan base (All hail the Internet!) and partially from the rise of MMA in the combat sport realm, a sport that, aesthetically at least, resembles WWE.
To that end, WWE has found a willing partner from, of all places, the self-declared worldwide leader in sports — ESPN. For the past year or two, WWE superstars have been making regular appearances on SportsCenter to do Q&A segments, and not just the big names — last week, Kevin Owens was on the 8 p.m. edition of ESPN's flagship show, and while WWE fans may contest that Owens is indeed a big star, he is not someone the average ESPN viewer would know.
SportsCenter has done live shows from Wrestlemania and Summer Slam, and has even run results from those pay-per-views on the crawl at the bottom of the screen later those nights. The high point of this loosely arranged partnership between ESPN and WWE occurred last year when Brock Lesnar announced his WWE contract extension live on SportsCenter, massive at the time because there was legit speculation that Lesnar would be returning to UFC.
That was the high point, that is, until Thursday, when it was announced that 15-time WWE heavyweight champion John Cena would be hosting ESPN's annual ESPY awards show. Cena becomes the first professional wrestler and third athlete (after LeBron James and Lance Armstrong) to host the network's tribute to itself disguised as an awards show.
According to ESPN.com, Cena was asked last week and accepted:
"They asked, and of course I said yes," Cena said. "It goes without saying it's a tremendous honor. The prestige of the show grows every year. It's unbelievable. I obviously accepted, but it doesn't go without its share of nerves. I just want to do the show justice. I'm going to do my due diligence and hopefully we can have a great show."
While it will be difficult for any WWE superstar to achieve the crossover fame of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who makes $15 million per movie in Hollywood, Cena is most certainly the biggest crossover celebrity on the current roster, with credits (and positive reviews) for performances in the movies Trainwreck and Sisters....

Cena has been recovering from January shoulder surgery, but will return to WWE's flagship show, Monday Night RAW, on May 30 after co-hosting NBC's Today Show that morning.

Trevor (above) and Nolan (below) were back in action today after finishing their freshman year at UW-Whitewater. The guys helped last summer and really become a vital part of the team. We didn't waste any time getting the fellas involved with some heavy duty work. Trevor worked on hauling and spreading compost, hauling sand and cleaning the pond. Nolan planted and staked over 30 bananas (Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii') before helping clean the pond as well with Trevor. The rest of our excellent, veteran staff had plenty to do today. Terry, John and Cindy all had trips out to pick up plants and Larry worked on a wide range projects including hauling/spreading compost and doing the same with some sand. Terry also helped with the Giant Aquarium, sheared and did some projects with John who was also involved with the bananas and draining the sunken pool for some repairs. Cindy tidied in multiple areas and was our primary watering person in the yard which continues to fill quickly with plants. Recent cold evenings necessitated moving many plants under cover which we'll continue to do for a couple more days. I was able to spot locations for tree/shrub planting and did my first round of herbicide spraying on this sunny (but cool) day. It was an uber-productive day…see some of our many volunteers further below….
'Sunrise Falls' foamy bells (xHeucherella) – perennial
'Sweet Tea' foamy bells (xHeucherella) – perennial
'Solar Eclipse' foamy bells (xHeucherella) – perennial

Despite how confused Dick P. (above left) and Dick H. look in this photo, they were on top of their game with repairing this backing board for a vehicle and the guys moved on to Giant Aquarium work with Dave T. and Vern. Alan M. painted all day (many objects) while Dr. Gredler mowed and painted. Kathy and Eva (directly below) did a nice job weeding multiple locations and both Stan and Kristin worked in and near the Japanese garden with Karen and Cheryl P. Gary was a sign making machine and had help from Bev D. who also worked with Deb G. on organizing our super neat 2016 Garden Art Project display Maury ran lots of errands and started work to prepare for the installation of a new metal sculpture. We also saw Rollie, Bill O. and many others today.
