11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food -- far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms. Keeping farms out of sight promotes a rosy, unreal picture of big-box agriculture, he argues, as he outlines the case to green and localize food production. (Filmed at TEDxNextGenerationAshevillen.)
Birke Baehr wants us to know how our food is made, where it comes from, and what's in it. At age 11, he's planning a career as an organic farmer. Full bio »

Attacker was on drugs when he killed Texas pastor with guitar
Coroner says attacker was on drugs when he killed Fort Worth-area pastor, then died in custody
A coroner says an attacker who crashed his car into a North Texas church and beat a minister to death before dying in custody had been using drugs.
The Tarrant County medical examiner on Tuesday ruled the death of Derrick Birdow was associated with PCP ingestion.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports Forest Hill police Chief Dan Dennis says investigators suspected Birdow was on the hallucinogenic drug due to his behavior.
Birdow on Oct. 29 drove into the Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church, picked up a guitar and fatally beat the Rev. Danny Kirk Sr.
An officer used a Taser to subdue Birdow. He stopped breathing in a patrol car and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The medical examiner says the Taser shocks did not contribute to Birdow's death.

When Movie Stars present to Movie Stars
Christopher Polk/BAFTA LA/ Joe Scarnici/Kevork Djansezian/BAFTA/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
If George Clooney is the classic Movie Star, male, what does that make Julia Roberts? This is something we CANNOT fight about. I know you wouldn't fight me on this – the fact that she is a proper Movie Star, one of the biggest, and, always, one of the best. Best can be annoying. Best can make you roll your eyes. Full Story
Halloween Best Friends
Have you seen The Heat? Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy fell in love with each other in The Heat. And it shows. They have great admiration for each other. They are generous with each other, in every single scene. There's no doubt that they adore each other. And, as you're watching, you adore them for it. Full Story
Will Leo be going back there?
There was an article on PEOPLE yesterday about how Leonardo DiCaprio was at the same restaurant in New York three times in the last week. It's called Merchants River House and they had his order down to specific detail: warm spinach and artichoke dip all the time, steamed chicken dumplings, French toast, an omelet, and even his drinks, vodka and lemonade and pink guava lemonade. Full Story
Edward and Leo
Edward Norton and Leonardo DiCaprio were hanging out in New York together back in September but these pictures were just released now for some reason. Maria just fell over, I'm sure of it. She loves Edward Norton. And Leo is her hate-f*ck. Is Lukas Haas jealous? He shouldn't be. Norton is married and a father now. Full Story
RDJ's Best Supporting Actor
Mark Davis/ Jason Kempin/ Getty
If Michael Fassbender doesn't want it… RDJ presented to Jared Leto last night at the Hollywood Film Awards. Jared was honoured for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club with Breakout Performance Award, even though he's 41 and has been acting for a long time. He was humbled by the recognition though, at least that's how he fronted. Full Story
What's funny to Reese Witherspoon
Jason Merritt/ Michael Buckner/ Getty
The ELLE Women in Hollywood event was last night. Reese Witherspoon was honoured. Her friend Chelsea Handler presented to her. Handler decided to make a joke about the time Reese and her husband Jim Toth were arrested – Toth for DUI and Reese for being a dick to a police officer. "Personally, as a true friend, my favorite project of hers was an overlooked short film that she made earlier this year. Full Story
House Porn: George Clooney edition
Maybe it's because we have our own house now, but I've never been as into House Porn as I am now. Also, I have no eye for interiors. It's weird because when it comes to clothing, I know exactly what I want. When it comes to where I live and what that could look like…no idea. Full Story
Cam's holding hands with Jason
It's on the set of their new movie, so don't get too excited. But still. She looks great. HE looks great. Like, when's the last time we talked about Jason Segel's jawline, right? If this is one of the side benefits of him not drinking anymore, I say that's good motivation too. But Cam apparently was out with Benicio Del Toro the other night and people were trying to make something of it. Full Story
Brad & Shia went camping
Wenn, Getty
I love this story. US Weekly reports in its new issue that Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf, who are shooting a movie together called The Fury, had to go camping together with 3 other cast members as a bonding exercise. No cell phones. They had to gather food and sleep in tents. Full Story
Front row with Blake & Anna
Wenn, Gigi Iorio/ Splash, Venturelli/ Getty
It's Milan Fashion Week. The Gucci show happened today. Images from the runway will be posted to LifeStyle when they're made available. Right now though we're looking at the front row. Because Blake Lively, who stayed away from NY Fashion Week, showed up for her brand and was seated next to Anna Wintour, one of her biggest fans. Full Story
Super Fun Girl Time
Look at this picture that Aubrey Plaza tweeted yesterday. It's of she and Rashida Jones and Tatiana Maslany, obviously going to or coming from the Parks & Rec set. Don't they look like they're having fun? Maslany is doing a guest stint as Tom Haverford's love interest. Full Story
Workout Buddy: For or Against?
FameFlynet, Splash
I'm not sure about the whole 'working out with a friend' thing. I like the idea a lot in theory, but I'm not sure it works in practice. Sasha and I worked out together for the longest time. It was super fun but we were always trying to distract the trainer with stories and questions so we didn't have to hold our planks quite as long. Full Story
Why can't this be more than friends?
Wenn, Splash
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are kicking off the Venice Film Festival tonight with Gravity. Here they are at the photocall this afternoon. Now WHYYYYYYYYYYY can't this be more than friends? They clearly like each other. And if the physical is any indication, they seem to bring out the best in each other. Full Story
Sandy, Louis, and George together again
Wenn, Splash
The Venice Film Festival opens tomorrow. First film: Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I've talked to a few people at TIFF. They all said it's an extraordinary piece of filmmaking. So for those of you who've been asking me what to line up for at the festival, this would be a good one, and not just because it features two of the biggest movie stars in the world. Full Story

Twelve for 2012
1. Worldwide Road Rides
As road cycling continues to engulf the planet with more people discovering uncharted roads and terrain, Rapha will be leading the field with a global expansion of the Rapha Continental. Expect to see films and tales of exploration from Japan, Australia, Europe, the UK, and – of course – North America.
There will also be plenty of Gentlemen's Rides and Races (women welcome, naturally) in all these territories. There's no excuse not to ride with us in 2012.
2. To Hell Once More
The Paris-Roubaix Challenge was a thrilling success this year and the Hell of the North-inspired ride will once again be open to amateur competitors. Rapha will be there to make the experience one of the best sportives in the world.
And not forgetting the third edition of Rapha's very own version of L'Enfer du Nord – a tribute ride through the lanes and 'gravé' sectors of Hertfordshire. Then back to town in time for the pro race on the big screen (frites and Trappist beers compulsory).
3. The Oldest Classic
Liege-Bastogne-Liege is not only the oldest but possibly the best one day race in existence. This year Rapha, in association with ASO and Golazo, bring you La Doyenne Classique, the amateur version of the Ardennes monument. Held the day before the pro race, this sportive will be a racing into history.
4. Young Blood
A new direction for the best name in British racing next season. As part of Rapha, Condor and Sharp's ambition to enrich the culture of road racing in the UK, the boys in black will focus on the development of younger riders, mentored by director John Herety and his experienced lieutenants. 2011 was the most successful season ever for the team, so 2012 will be a new challenge for a fresh looking squad.
5. Cool in the Heat
We love the Giro. No one is more passionate about racing than the tifosi and the Corsa Rosa always signals the start of the summer. Blue skies, endless roads and scorching weather awaits and Rapha's forthcoming collection of products for summer 2012 have been designed to offer even greater performance in the heat. Forza.
6. In Utopia Cycle Clubs Abound
Spring and Summer signals the return of the great road races and the best place to watch these will be Rapha's Cycle Clubs. With San Francisco CC now a permanent feature of the city, another three will open in 2012, including a new residence in London, the return of the Mobile Cycle Club in Europe and CC Mallorca. Expect great rides, exciting events, food, coffee and more. Rapha Cycle Clubs will be the home of road racing in 2012.
7. The Yellow Jersey
We can't forget the world's biggest race. Not only will you be able to watch every stage of the Tour at a Rapha Cycle Club but you'll also be able to experience the drama and suffering yourself. Rapha are again working with A.S.O. to bring two of the Tour's grandest mountain stages to amateur road riders in the shape of two Etape routes. These will be accompanied by exclusive Rapha products and a special edition Sportwool jersey celebrating the queen Pyrenean stage that tackles the infamous Circle of Death.
8. Blue, Red, Black, Yellow and Green.
As a British company we must, of course, give Mark Cavendish a nod of respect. His success is truly admirable and to see him claim the rainbow jersey, with such an emphatic performance from the GB team, was the icing on the proverbial cake. And provided Cav stays off the cake and shines for his new outfit, Team Sky, we might see a few more green jerseys and possibly some Olympic gold at London 2012.
9. Giro di Lombardia
This year the Ride of the Falling Leaves has a new September slot, so the leaves will just be beginning to drop as this historic monument rolls out of Milan. It's a race Rapha have always enjoyed and in 2012 a special edition jersey will be produced to pay tribute to this most romantic of classics.
10. Super Cross
Unless you have been out at sea for the last few months, you won't have failed to notice Rapha's Super Cross series took place here in the UK. A great success that matched the party atmosphere and intense competition that are features of Belgian and North American cross races, expect the second running of the Super Cross series to be even bigger and better (with even more cowbells).
11. Cross my Heart
Rapha-FOCUS are arguably the hottest property in US cyclocross right now, with the recently crowned National Champion Jeremy Powers topping the USGP rankings. We can expect more of the same from the candystriped assassins, and the energy displayed by these riders – Powers, Zach McDonald, Chris Jones, as well as Julie Krazniak among the Elite women – is exactly what the fans want to see. Next up is the Worlds in Koksijde at the end of January. Next season will also witness the World Championships on home soil, in Louisville, Kentucky.
12. The Sport of the Future
With more UCI races taking place further afield, and new advances in technology and how we share information, 2012 is sure to be another bumper year for road racing and riding. Rapha will be there for every pedal stroke and we hope you will join us.

5 things to do today: Tuesday, November 19
Paul Sietsema In his most comprehensive exhibition to date, the L.A.-based artist explores image-making—"a less significant event than it used to be," he explains—via film, drawings, paintings and other works on paper. The goal of his labor-and time-intensive works is to restore some signficance to the act of capturing an image. Museum of Contemporary Art. 10am–5pm.
Vanishing Neighborhoods Preservation Chicago, the Chicago Film Archives and Kartemquin Films present three shorts detailing neighborhood change in 1960's and '70's Chicago: "Now We Live on Clifton" (1974), "Kali Nihta, Socrates" (1963) and "A Place to Live" (1968). The films takes somewhat different views on poverty, demolition, relocation, gentrification and local government. All three will be shown in their original 16mm format. Comfort Station. 7:30pm. Free (donations welcome).
Read November's top theater reviews
After a September and October devoid of five-star play reviews, suddenly we've had five already in November. Which has me wondering if I'm getting soft entering the holiday season, or if Chicago theater simply saved its best for the last of the year. Whatever the case, we've given top marks this month to The Normal Heart, Kate & Sam Are Not Breaking Up, Great Expectations, An Iliad and Appropriate.
And it seems audiences are with us on these: An Iliad and Great Expectations both announced extensions on Monday, with Strawdog saying Expectations is breaking box-office records at the 26-year-old theater; meanwhile, the New Colony announced it's adding Sunday performances to Kate & Sam's schedule. Read all 18 of the month's theater reviews so far after the jump.
The Festival of Barrel Aged Beers 2013
At this year's Festival of Barrel Aged Beers, I drew a notch on the back of my hand every time I tasted a beer. By the end of the afternoon, my hand bore four-dozen hashmarks. While that sounds like a lot, it only scratched the surface of the massive variety of brews available at this year's festival—213 total beers were judged in 11 different categories.
Now in its 11th year, FoBAB has cemented its place as being one of two must-attend Illinois Craft Brewers Guild events (the other, Beer Under Glass, kicks off Chicago Craft Beer Week). While the event started with beers inspired by Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout, 35 brews from 22 breweries were entered into the wild beer/acidic category this year. The barrel-aging phenomenon has really gone far past stouts and dark beers; this year's Best in Show went to Bell's Le Bretteur. Following that were 33 Strong Porter/Stouts and 29 Strong/Double/Imperial Dark Beers. Brand new this year was the cider, perry and mead category, and nine of them were judged (based on the recent rapid growth of the cider side of the industry, that category will likely only get larger).
Unsurprisingly, the Goose Island family's brewery and brewpubs (brewery and brewpubs—yes, I know they have different ownership, but let them rename themselves and I'll split them up) did quite well, walking away with five medals and taking second place in the Best in Show category. Rock Bottom Chicago, Revolution and Off Color also performed well, with two medals each, while Three Floyds, Haymarket, Atlas and Wild Onion earned one medal apiece.
Standout beers amongst the many that I tried:
Renovations planned for Theater on the Lake
Plans are in the works to renovate the Theater on the Lake into a fully heated and air-conditioned facility capable of hosting programming and events year-round, according to an announcement from the mayor's office and the Chicago Park District. The park district will put out a request for proposals next month, with requirements to "include lighting and sound systems as well as improved sight lines in a new 400-seat performance space," according to the release; the theater's current seating capacity is 283. New dressing rooms and restrooms, a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and an enclosed lobby and box office are part of the plans as well.
The badly needed renovations will coincide with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' work on the Fullerton Avenue Beach shoreline, as part of the Chicago Shoreline Storm Damage Reduction Project. Construction is expected to begin in early 2014, with completion by the end of 2015. Theater on the Lake's usual slate of summer remounts by theater companies from around the city—to be co-curated in 2014 by MPAACT executive director Reginald Lawrence (a.k.a. Shepsu Aakhu) and Hypocrites artistic director Halena Kays—will be shifted to other park district facilities during construction.
An interview with Noma chef René Redzepi
Noma chef René Redzepi came to town this weekend to promote his new three-book collection, "A Work in Progress: Journal, Recipes and Snapshots," with a conversation and tasting at Balena and a dinner at the Bristol. We attended the conversation, where we spotted lots of Chicago chefs, bartenders and sommeliers, including Moto's Homaro Cantu, GT Fish & Oyster's Giuseppe Tentori, Vera's Liz Mendez, Table Fifty-Two's Art Smith and others. Redzepi talked with Tasting Table's Heather Sperling about his Copenhagen restaurant and the books, a journal he wrote in 2011, a photo book with images of ingredients and chefs mentioned in the journal, and a cookbook.
The talk provided an overview of Redzepi's culinary interests, like "trash cooking" with ingredients you'd normally throw away ("all ingredients have the same cooking value… the value is in appreciating the cultural history of cuisine, not the quality of produce.") He also talked about the MAD Symposium, an annual event that he started for chefs to talk about food issues like sustainability. And he mentioned some of his culinary failures. ("Blood is a very difficult ingredient to work with. It's delicious mixed with grains and condiments and steamed, but it's blood… I had one failed dish, raw oysters with blood vinaigrette—it tasted like eating a bowl full of solid nosebleed.")
After the talk, we sat down with Redzepi (well, we were sitting with our laptop while he stood eating a bowl of Balena's tagliolini nero, squid ink pasta with crab and sea urchin), to chat more about his books and his trip to Chicago.
Next announces 2014 themes: Chicago Steak, Chinese: Modern and Trio
This afternoon Next announced the three themes for 2014. We already knew about Chicago Steak, which runs from January–April. After that, Chinese: Modern is from May–August and Trio is from September–December. It's an interesting lineup, since two are specifically Chicago-focused, and one is international.
Here are more details from Next's e-mail announcement:
Next: Chicago Steak will have a higher price point than recent menus "due to the cost of high-quality dry aged beef." Here's an idea of what's on the menu: "We love a perfectly cooked, dry-aged cut of beef, marbled, juicy, & delicious. A great lobster thermidor. Perhaps a succulent shrimp cocktail, a silky bisque, simple but perfect vegetables and a few potatoes. Mix in a cocktail to start, a trophy red in the middle, and a digestif with dessert. Big music, big smiles, and a casual satisfying time for conviviality. Perfect night, right?"
Next: Chinese: Modern focuses on "what happens when a thousand year-old cuisine collides with the mind-set of culinary innovation." The menu will cover "all the basics" (noodles, buns, dumplings, seafood, poultry, pork) with a "unique Modernist attitude."
Next: Trio, January 20, 2004 will revisit the Tour de Force Menu that Grant Achatz served on January 20, 2004. Alinea turns 10 in 2015, and it was over this menu that Achatz and Nick Kokonas began to talk about building their own restaurant. "This menu will transport diners back to a great time in chef Achatz's career. But it is hardly a museum piece. The cuisine remains vibrant, startling, and delicious."
10 best things to do this week: November 18-24
"Art and Appetite: American Painting, Culture and Cuisine" If we are what we eat, then this exhibition—featuring more than 100 paintings, sculptures and decorative arts depicting an array of edibles, lavish meals, the remnants of meals and factory-produced foods—tells us a lot about what we are. Organized by the Art Institute and exploring the presence of food in artwork from the 18th through 20th centuries, "Art and Appetite" speaks to America's evolving but ever-important food culture and the historical art of eating. Read our review. Art Institute of Chicago. Through Jan 27.
Chicago Book Expo The Chicago-centric pop-up bookstore and literary fair returns to Uptown, this time held at St. Augustine College, the first bilinigual institution of higher ed in Illinois. Reflecting its historic venue, this year's expo features bilingual programming alongside author readings, panel disucussions, writing workshops and more. Essanay Studios at St. Augustine College. Nov 24, 11am–5pm. Free.
Clark + Jon Hopkins Don't you dare use the term EDM. British digital artists Clark and Jon Hopkins are throwbacks (though that's weird to say, too) to the headier era of '90s electronic music. Warp Records vet Clark is touring a monster double album, Feast/Beast, while Hopkins is celebrating Immunity, which was nominated for an esteemed Mercury Prize. Both men craft precise, detailed soundscapes that beautifully balance nature and computers, keeping Aphex Twin's torch afire. No fan of electronics should miss this. Lincoln Hall. Nov 23 at 9pm. $20, advance $17.
Donut Fest coming in January
Chicago loves doughnuts—and so do we—so we're not at all surprised to learn that there's a Donut Fest happening soon.
The event, run by Alyssa Erickson and Rebecca Skoch (who ran last year's Poutine Fest and is also a contributor to our dining section), takes place on January 26 at 1st Ward. The list of participating restaurants and bakeries includes Glazed & Infused, Beavers Coffee & Donuts, the Chop Shop & 1st Ward, and West Town Bakery so far. Organizers expect that 15 places will be participating.
Event profits benefit Un86'd, a non-profit organization that helps hospitality professionals in need.
5 best dance club events this week: November 18-24
Clark + Jon Hopkins Don't you dare use the term EDM. British digital artists Clark and Jon Hopkins are throwbacks (though that's weird to say, too) to the headier era of '90s electronic music.

Both men craft precise, detailed soundscapes that beautifully balance nature and computers, keeping Aphex Twin's torch afire. No fan of electronics should miss this. Lincoln Hall. Nov 23 at 9pm. $20, advance $17.
Alesso You'd be forgiven for thinking progressive superstar Alesso had come out of nowhere. He's from Sweden, but has stormed to the big American rooms in the last three years with support from megajocks like Calvin Harris and a major label. His "Years" is a dreamy, prog-pop epic that bores into your skull whether you like it or not. "Under Control" with Harris and new-romantic man duo Hurts is even bigger. The euphoria might not be especially hip, but the Alesso fans are unlikely to let that ruin their buzz. Aragon. Nov 23 at 8pm. $35–$75, 18 and older.
5 concerts to see this week: November 18-24
MGMT One can view MGMT's career moves as ballsy or solipsistic. The duo's middle finger to hooks and choruses is punk, if not a bit stubborn. The band's self-titled third album fuses early Pink Floyd with Warp Records IDM. Yes, like Radiohead. However, whereas Thom Yorke emoted distraught premillennial panic, MGMT swim in narcotic millennial apathy. The record is an amazing trip for the ears, but vocally the dudes muster just enough energy to lift their tongue to their cheeks. Call it Meh Computer. Live, the group is blossoming into a cutting jam act. Read our interview with MGMT. Aragon. Nov 19 at 7:30pm. $32.
Cat Power For much of her career, Chan Marshall was far from a sure thing, her performances as Cat Power erratic and uncomfortable. Lately, however, she's come out of her shell, which may or may not have something to do with getting sober. A few years ago, a Cat Power solo show would have seemed out of the question. These days, it's something to look forward to. Throughout it all, her voice has always been something to reckon with. She could sing "Manhattan" 14 times and I'd be deeply satisfied. Old Town School of Folk Music, Mauer Hall. Nov 21 at 7, 10pm. $23–$25.
Time Out Chicago's Best Awards party at Parliament
RECOMMENDED: Time Out Chicago's Best Awards 2013

Guests gathered at Parliament (324 W Chicago Ave) for an evening of speciality cocktails from Ciroc Amaretto, Ketel One, Don Julio and Bulleit Rye as well as beers from Revolution Brewing and bites from Union Sushi. When they weren't busy posing in the photo booth partiers danced the night away to beats from DJ Trew. Take a look at all of the photos from the celebration and be sure to check out all of Time Out Chicago's Best winners.
5 things to do today: Monday, November 18
Ice Skating in Millennium Park The McCormick Tribune Ice Rink is open to the public for skating in the shadow of the downtown skyline—and entry is free.

"Shomei Tomatsu: Island Life" Photographer Tomatsu (1930–2012) captured Japan's southern islands over the course of his career, and his first solo show in the U.S. in nearly 10 years features politically charged, black-and-white images from the 1960s—such as American bombers taking off from Okinawa for Vietnam—as well as bright blue seascapes. Art Institute of Chicago. 10:30pm–5pm.
Krewella at the Aragon: photos
From underground parties out by Midway Airport to the Billboard charts in two years, Krewella has hustled to become bona fide pop stars. Pakistani-American sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf grew up on emo, punk and bubblegum in the north Chicago suburbs; beatmaker Kris Trindl was a metalhead. (They went to the same high school as John Hughes and Ferris Bueller.) Essentially, this is a pop band with buzzsaw beats, and one that thrives on the stage—selling out the Aragon is no joke. The trio's album and tour is dubbed Get Wet, not for some cheap sexual connotation (okay, maybe a little bit), but because Krewella's high-energy live performances are like Shamu at Sea World, only with sweat instead of salt water. The Krew drove its rabid fans bonkers with bittersweet hooks and bass drops. They'll do it all again on Monday night at the Mid, just blocks from where the three lived together in their early days, recording hits like "Alive" in their bedroom and closet. Check out our interview with Krewella.

River North Dance Chicago: "Autumn Passion" For its fall engagement, River North Dance Chicago presents all new contemporary works, including three premieres. As former TOC dance editor Matt de la Peña noted, RNDC—helmed by the visionary Frank Chaves—proves that concert dance and entertainment are not mutually exclusive. Harris Theater. 3pm. $30–75.
Alkaline Trio + New Found Glory Though they never achieved the mass appeal of, say, Fall Out Boy, radio–ready McHenry punks Alkaline Trio are certainly still a force in this city. (The inability of '90s suburban-music-scene bros to move the fuck on: discuss.) They're joined by fellow Warped Tour veterans New Found Glory and H2O. Aragon. 6:30pm. $26.75.

"Rusty Shackleford: Dream Feeder" and "Katie Torn: Dream House" Two new exhibitions at Root & Culture are the stuff dreams are made of. For his scanner-based experiments with "color, light, paint and discard," Shackleford uses pages sourced from books and magazines for background. The artist, who has cited dumpster diving as part of his process, favors a nostalgic aesthetic, taking inspiration from the dated grain and faded colors of found images. For "Dream House," a series of hyperrealistic digital prints and video work, Torn used 3D computer software (the same that's employed for Hollywood films and commercials) to create virtual sculptures that comment on consumerism, technology and the increasing time we spend in virtual spaces. Roots & Culture Contemporary Art Center. Noon–6pm.

Music Box Theatre to host Chicago film industry conference November 22
Like any civilized movie house, Music Box Theatre is usually dark and quiet, excepting the sounds happening onscreen. But there's about to be an uncommon amount of chatter at the historic Southport theater. On November 22, Music Box is set to host a Chicago film industry conference, which looks to bring together local movie programmers, exhibitors, government officials, the organizers of more than two dozen film festivals and other players in the city's movie business to discuss "shared goals, mutual challenges and possible partnerships."

Cut Copy at the Riviera Theatre: concert photos and review
The latest from Cut Copy, Free Your Mind, made a subsequent revisiting of the Jock Jams compilation album series seem like a totally reasonable indulgence. On the album, which dropped earlier this month, the Aussie synth pop group pumps up the jams with a specifically curated palette of late-'80s and early-'90s house sounds—"Oooh, yeah!" female vocal samples; the bass, horn and piano tones of early digital synths—favored by gridiron groovers like Black Box. "Meet Me in a House of Love," for one, seems like it could've been the B-side of Real McCoy's "Another Night."
With those influences, it would be all too easy for frontman Dan Whitford and company to tour these songs in the way typical of EDM-leaning "bands" these days: heavy on the the backing tracks. But the best part about Cut Copy live is that, save for a few exceptions, the music is live. At the jam-packed Riviera Theatre last night, the band acted like one.
2014 Whitney Biennial artists announced
The 103 artists selected for the 2014 Whitney Biennial were announced yesterday. The late David Foster Wallace is among them (he was a word artist, back off), as are some Chicagoans—particularly emerging artists deemed on the brink of Having a Moment, and mid-to-late career artists considered underrated. (Forbes advises you better invest in both now.)
Opening March 7 and continuing through May 25, the 77th Biennial has special significance: It's the last to happen at the Whitney's Upper East Side location before the museum moves into spacious new Renzo Piano–designed digs downtown, and the first to feature three individuals from outside the Whitney curating different floors: Stuart Comer of MoMA; Anthony Elms of Philadelphia's Institute of Contemporary Art (formerly an assistant curator at UIC's Gallery 400); and Michelle Grabner, chair of SAIC's Painting and Drawing Department and an artist herself.


text:
She's looking over the boat's edge to spot a dolphin and record its markings. He's digging for medieval tools in the fields around an abandoned friary. Or they're simply hearing their native language spoken a bit differently in a different country, where the food doesn't quite taste the same.
Travel can introduce kids to the world's real-life wonders, changing their perspective on topics they may have only read about in books.
It can literally change their lives.
"There is a kid's way of seeing the world," says Keith Bellows, editor-in-chief of National Geographic Traveler magazine and author of National Geographic's "100 Places That Can Change Your Child's Life." "As an adult, get out of the way, and stop marching them through an experience. When you get them to slow down and experience a place from their perspective, it's magic. Not just the place itself, but the experience."
Consider Bellows' suggestions a step up from simply taking a vacation. He says these places could open your child's eyes to the diversity of the world, help them learn what interests them and inform how they navigate it as adults.
Marco Island, Fla.
Of course Walt Disney World is a Florida rite of passage for many children (and their parents) but there's so much to the state that isn't prefabricated. Marco Island is one of those places for Bellows, with beaches showing off the rusticity and charm of old Florida. Kids will love the beach and you can sneak in some science in the spectacular nature surrounding you.
Get on board the Dolphin Explorer with your children and turn them into citizen scientists. Capt. Chris Desmond, founder of the 10,000 Islands Dolphins Project, directs children to note the family compositions, behavior and even evidence of shark bites of the dolphins they spot. They give the data to adult biologists onboard who feed it into a computer. The bonus: If a child spots a new dolphin -- most are already known to the crew -- that child gets to name the dolphin. "Every kid wants to spot a newcomer and it happened on a trip I was on," says Bellows.
Big Sur, Calif.
The drive from San Francisco into Big Sur may be Bellows' favorite drive in the world. "It is one of the most hair-raising drives in the world, and you get the sense of a wild, driving adventure," he says. "I've done it at least 40 or 50 times, and I never get tired of it."
He recommends renting a convertible and coming down from San Francisco through the agriculture fields onto the California coast, much of which is protected and can be explored along the way. One highlight: Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, just north of Big Sur. "It really teaches children that if you really love an area, you can protect it. Most of that coastline is protected, and it shows you what happens when you don't screw it up. "
Grand Canyon
Nothing makes Bellows feel more humble than standing on the lip of the Grand Canyon, even if he's standing with thousands of other people. "It's a bite out of the Earth, a thrilling glimpse into the inside of the Earth," he says.
When children see the canyon layers below, that's the first step in their understanding of the geology of the Earth, says Bellows. Take an age-appropriate hike so your children can see the layers and wildlife that make up the canyon. "They can see we didn't just spring from nothing. This is a wafer sandwich of the world, and we're going to be one of the layers one day."
Chesapeake Bay, Md.
The nation's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay is filled with 64,000 square miles of rivers, marshes and bays. "My kids have grown up there kneeling in grass, looking for tadpoles and pulling up crab pots ... and I love it," says Bellows. "It's some of the wildest primitive country we have. You can watch the ebb and flow of oysters, crabs and fishes, and it tells you how you're treating this incredible place."
It's the home of the wild ponies children have read about it in Marguerite Henry's "Misty of Chincoteague." Those ponies of Assateague Island National Seashore live in two herds. You can see the ponies at the park but don't feed them (to keep them wild).
Library of Congress, Washington
It's OK to tell your children that the movie "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" was filmed at the Library of Congress. (Heck, show them the movie in advance of your trip.) And yes, that it's the biggest library in the world with 3,800 staff, 500 miles of shelving and 128 million items (with about 10,000 items added each day).
"If you go into the Library of Congress, you're going to tell them it's a library but it's also a treasure trove," says Bellows. Whatever your child likes, whether it's music or maps or sports or humor, it's likely he or she can find something about it here.
Your children also can get a "Passport to Knowledge" to guide them to the library's so-called greatest hits, and they can play at Knowledge Quest kiosks and bookmark places of interest to explore later on a personalized mini-site.
New York City
A visit to New York for every child who has not grown up there is also a rite of passage, says Bellows. "Every kid has to go to New York City, and every adult does, too," he says. "Every time you go back and haven't been there for awhile, it's a new place. It's so big and so fast."
Take the Circle Line boat tour, he suggests, so you can see by sailing around it how small an island Manhattan actually is. You can notice how connected it is to the other islands of Staten Island and Long Island (where Brooklyn and Queens are) and the Bronx, which is actually on the U.S mainland. "Here's an island in the middle of nowhere but it's connected to the entire world."
For children seeing the Statue of Liberty, a Broadway show or the city decorated at Christmas for the first time, "it gets imprinted on kids' minds."

These are heavy duty, thick balloons. They were hard to tie and didn't "float" very well filled with helium. My daughter liked them because they were really shiny/sparkly.

- Product Details
EXECUTIVE Hyper Silver wheels by Ace®. These wheels have the big style and the big attitude that make them a perfect choice for full-size luxury sedans, SUVs and trucks. Their powerful design and the high quality workmanship make them a valuable addition to even the most exclusive big luxury vehicle.
The style and quality of Ace wheels are second to none. The styling, and not only the fitments of the Ace wheels, is adapted to specific categories of vehicles. These are not wheels designed with a philosophy of "One Style Fits All". The Ace wheels are styled to fit sporty sedans, luxury SUVs, high end sedans, and so on. Some are even designed to fit specific models. Fitting Ace wheels on vehicles they are designed for makes for perfection in both fitments and styling. However, you must not let this Ace styling philosophy stop your own creativity. You are of course free to fit an Ace wheel intended for luxury vehicles to a sports car if the measurements are right and you think it looks good. New successful styles are created by breaking conventions and established patterns of thought. The Ace purpose design philosophy creates a lot of opportunity for enterprising rule-breakers to make their cars stand out and feature surprising choices of wheels that people can love or hate. Personalizing your vehicle is a very personal thing, and should be done your way or not at all.
- Specifically Designed for SUV and Luxury Sedans
- 1-Piece Cast Construction
- Exceed Global Quality Standards
- Wheels and Manufacturing Approved by German TUV
- Lip size may vary depending on the size of the wheel
- All wheels are custom made and are therefore not returnable
- Wheel orders cannot be cancelled after the manufacturing process has begun (usually 24 to 48 hours after order is placed)
378.68 472.18Innovative design and high standard defines Ace Alloy wheels. Nothing is compromised in the making of these high quality wheels and it shows. Ace Alloy has been developing, engineering, manufacturing, and distributing aluminum wheels worldwide for over a decade. The high quality wheels, the excellent customer support, and the very innovative styles have been combined to build a position for the company as a global leader in the custom wheel industry. The Ace Alloy wheels are imported from China by its American branch, Kanei Corporation, which operates out of a 100,000 sq ft warehouse and headquarters in Chino, California.

My husband installed them, and they were a perfect fit. We do recommend ordering the aftermarket center caps. Our factory BMW center caps are to big to fit the new wheels. I wish we had this info when we ordered our wheels.

While the left hand side of Cordura is a let-down for me and a struggle to use in a flattering way, the right hand/darker side is gorgeousness. A deep, dark, almost black brown with golden flecks, it is stunning. It does have fallout, though, especially if you really load up your brush (which is tempting to do if you want to get a really heavy deposit of colour when using this in place of liner or to enhance your upper lashes by smudging it into your lash line.
This is such a difficult colour for me to wear. It's a coppery shade but, unlike similar type shades like Urban Decay Half Baked (which is similar), it just does not look nice and I have to cast around for other shades to pair it with (oddly enough, MAC Smoke&Diamonds seems to make it look more flattering). After stalling for months because every time I looked at this duo, I would put it back on the shelf, I bought the Cordura duo because it was so highly rated everywhere and I figured it would be great. I should have followed my initial instinct, though. I do love the darker side – it's gorgeous – and on someone with a warmer and deeper skin tone than mine, this side of the duo would probably also be amazingly flattering.
Highly pigmented, velvety-matte, ultra-fine powders for shading, creating depth and lining eyes. Long-wearing, crease-resistant colors glide on smoothly and evenly and blend effortlessly. Can be applied sheer or layered for a more dramatic effect.
