(GK: Garrison Keillor, JOE: Joe Taylor, DEIRDRE: Deirdre Monaghan)
DEIRDRE: A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets, but one man keeps trying to find the answers to life's persistent questions --- Guy Noir, Private Eye. (MUSIC UP)
GK: It was one of those cold rainy March mornings when mortality is in the air and you look in astonishment at the old codger in the mirror. It wasn't so long ago that people your age were dropping acid and looking around town for the hip new joint and now they're into antacids and thinking about getting a new hip joint. You sit in the gloom and you feel as if bad news is imminent. Someone is just about to dash through the door waving a warrant for your arrest or the results of your latest biopsy, or a review of your book in which the words "self-indulgent mishmash" leap out at you. And on the same page, the news that the nerd you once tormented in high school has just sold his software company for $1.4 billion. I was thinking about maybe taking a winter break to revive my spirits, go to Antigua or Bermuda or Aruba or Iowa, as soon as I got paid for the Kismet case. Kismet is a cat who belongs to a Mrs. Sorenson. I located the cat for her. Tuesday. She was under a car. (PHONE RING, PICKUP) Yeah. Guy Noir ---- what can I do for you?
JOE (ON PHONE): Mr. Noir? This is Finbar O'Connell calling from Ireland. How are you this fine day?
GK: You don't want to know, sir. What can I do for you?
JOE: Just calling to see, might you be free to come over to Dublin for a few days, Mr. Noir? We have a bit of a crisis, sir. I run a motor coach company here. O'Connell's Emerald Isle Coach Tours? Perhaps you've heard of it----
GK: I haven't, sir. The urge to take a motor coach tour of Ireland has never struck me.
JOE: Well, we take folks around --- Americans mostly ---- and they buy their Waterford and their sweaters and their Guinness T-shirts and go around to castles and such and attend a performance of line-dancing by eight-hundred lasses in tartan skirts and high socks and then they go home.
GK: Lovely.
JOE: This is the start of our high season, Mr. Noir. St. Paddy's Day. We have fifty busloads of Americans touring Ireland, all of them heading for Dublin on March 17. And there's one big problem. St. Patrick's Day has been canceled. (STING)
GK: How can they do it? (MUSIC UNDER) Turned out it was due to the foot-and-mouth disease that's infecting livestock in the U.K. They're trying to keep it out of Ireland. And they've discovered that one big cause of foot-and-mouth disease is throwing up on your shoes. Thus, the cancellation of St. Patrick's Day. --- But what do you want me to do about it, Mr. O'Connell?
JOE (ON PHONE): We need you to come and stage a St. Patrick's Day for our clients, Mr. Noir.
GK: But I'm not Irish.
JOE: Neither are they. But they're expecting a parade with convertibles and marching bands and cheerleaders in green hats with shamrocks and shillelaghs and blowing on horns and drinking green beer ----- things that we Irish know nothing of.
GK: So you need an American to come to Ireland to put on an Irish festival for American tourists----
JOE: Will you come, sir?
GK: If the money were right.
JOE: How about a hundred pounds a day and expenses?
GK: That sounds right. (MUSIC) I got a ticket on Aer Lingus and headed for Ireland. Never been there before. Never cared to go. My idea of an Irishman was someone who can watch football on TV, drink about fifteen pints, start crying over his mother, try to grope the waitress, and go home and smack the wife. I mean, they say St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, but maybe he was the only one who saw snakes. (AIRPLANE AMBIANCE) The plane was packed with Catholics ---- I could hear the clicking of beads as the plane took off. There was a priest sitting next to me on one side and a nun on the other. ---- Excuse me. Father? Do you mind if I ask you a question?
FRANK: Faith, no, me boy. Call me Father Paddy. Paddy O'Furniture.
GK: I can't help but notice all the Catholics here, are you on some sort of pilgrimage, Father O'Furniture?
FRANK: Faith, yes, me boy. We're going over to witness the miracle there.
GK: The economic boom?
DEIRDRE: No, me boy. It's in County Mayo, in the little village of Castlefall, at the home of the great Danny O'Danny.
GK: The great Irish tenor.
FRANK: Faith, yes. Danny O'Danny is the great avatar of the Irish tenors.
DEIRDRE: A lovely wee fellow with a choirboy face and famous the world over for his angelic voice--- ah, to hear him sing "Danny Boy"!
FRANK: It's his most requested number --- he does it while accompanying himself on the mouth organ, you know----
GK: But how can he--- isn't he singing through his mouth?
FRANK: Faith, no. Danny O'Danny sings entirely through his left nostril. And he lives right there in Castlefall with his sainted mother, he does.
GK: And Danny O'Danny is a miracle?
DEIRDRE: For the past two and one-half years, whenever he sings "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls" the family statue of the Blessed Virgin has wept. Shed real tears.
GK: Perhaps she's sensitive to someone singing flat.
FRANK: Faith, no. It's a genuine miracle.
DEIRDRE: Every day at noon Danny O'Danny comes out in the garden of his home where busloads of fans have gathered
FRANK: And he sings "Danny Boy" and they sell the CDs and the tea cozies and the bags of scones and take up a collection for the orphans.
DEIRDRE: And then he sings "Tara's Halls" and the Blessed Virgin weeps and they sell handkerchiefs dampened with the tears.
FRANK: These hankies have been shown to reverse hair loss. It's true. Maybe you should come to Castlefall with us---- (MUSIC)
GK: I pretended to be asleep until the good father wound down and then the plane descended through 5000 feet of dense clouds and landed in Dublin and Mr. O'Connell was there in the airport to meet me. (AIRPORT AMBIANCE) He looked concerned. Actually, he looked horrified.
JOE: I'm afraid we have a problem worse than no St. Patrick's Day, Mr. Noir. A whole busload of Americans is missing. (STING) Forty of them. Gone! (STING)
GK: Where did they disappear, Mr. O'Connell?
JOE: In Cark.
GK: You mean Cork?
JOE: That's what I said. Cark.
GK: What were they doing in Cark?
JOE: Sitting in a park.
GK: Doing what in the park?
JOE: Eating lunch.
GK: What was for lunch?
JOE: Park.
GK: Right. They were in the park but what were they eating for lunch?
JOE: Park.
GK: They were eating the park?
JOE: Of course.
GK: Which part of the park?
JOE: All of it. It's all good.
GK: What sort of park was it?
JOE: Fried.
GK: Fried. Oh, you mean, fried pork.
JOE: That's what I said.
GK: So these Americans are in a park in Cark eating park and then what?
JOE: A man walks up and he barks, Are you from New Yark? And they think it's a lark and they say, yes, and he takes them away.
GK: Maybe he was a narc. Did anyone see where they went?
JOE: It was too dark.
GK: Any footprints?
JOE: Not a mark. (MUSIC)
GK: I headed for my hotel to call the authorities in Cork and get the particulars on the vanished American tour group. I'd no sooner opened my suitcase and hung up my spare shirt than (KNOCKS ON DOOR).. ---- Come in! (DOOR OPEN, FOOTSTEPS, DOOR CLOSE) Well, lordy mama. (SEXY PIANO) She was tall and red-haired and so beautiful it made your back teeth hurt. She wore a green T-shirt with IRELAND written on the front. Ireland never looked so good. ----Come in, ma'am, what can I do for you?
GODDESS: Me? What can I do for you, Mr. Noir? (MUSIC)
GK: ---- Her T-shirt was so tight I could read the label on her underwear. It said 2. Her skin was the color of peach yoghurt. Her hair was wild as beach grass. Her eyes were a sea-change green, her nose was strong enough to crack nuts on, her mouth I hardly dared look at, her chin, her neck, her collarbones, her sternum, I could go on and on. ---What can I do for you, ma'am?
GODDESS: Do you mind if I sit down?
GK: There is no chair, there's only the bed.
GODDESS: Then I'll sit on the bed.
GK: Do you mind if I sit down beside you?
GODDESS: It's your bed. (MUSIC)----
GK: I looked at her warm full lips and I knew if I went there, I'd never return, never come back to my career, whatever my career is, I forgot. ---- Pardon me. Would you mind telling me something, ma'am?
GODDESS: What is it?
GK: What is it that I do?
GODDESS: Now?
GK: Why am I in Dublin?
GODDESS: You've come to find forty Americans who are lost but secretly you're hoping to lose yourself.
GK: How do you know so much about me?
GODDESS: I'm a witch.
GK: Fine. Each to his own.
GODDESS: I belong to the old pagan faith of Ireland. I worship God in the trees and the grass and the animals and all of nature.
GK: Beautiful.
GODDESS: The old Celtic religions believed in doing what is natural. What is free. What makes you happy. If it doesn't hurt anybody, then go ahead. That's our religion.
GK: I've been looking for a woman like you.
GODDESS: We don't believe in marriage.
GK: I'm so glad to hear you say that.
GODDESS: You're not married, are you, Mr.Noir?
GK: To me, marriage is a holy sacrament. Like sacrificing sheep. I've avoided both of them. (MUSIC) She was leaning toward me, breathing on me, and it was making me dizzy with pleasure.----So--- what are you up to later?
GODDESS: It's time to prepare for our spring festival. We must awaken the Earth Goddess with loud cries of passion.
GK: I think we should do that.
GODDESS: OH! YES! YES! YES! YES! DON'T STOP! YES! OH! OH! YES! THERE! YES! MORE! MORE! MORE! OH, DON'T STOP! KEEP GOING! YES! YES! YES! YES! OH YES! OH YES! ---What are you doing?
GK: I put my hand on your arm.
GODDESS: Why?
GK: Why?
GODDESS: Why did you put your hand on my arm? You distracted me.
GK: I was hoping to contribute to your excitement.
GODDESS: By touching my arm?
GK: Well, it's a start.
GODDESS: You must be kidding.
GK: I guess I was.
GODDESS: You thought you could increase my passion by touching me????
GK: I was wrong, I'm sorry.
GK: She left and I retired to the bar to attempt to repair my self-esteem with the use of alcohol. (TAVERN AMBIANCE) I'd like a Campari, bartender.
FRANK: A Campari???
GK: Father----
FRANK: Father O'Furniture from the flight.
GK: Right. The sky pilot.
FRANK: How can you come to Ireland and order a Campari?
GK: It's to make sure I don't drink too much, Father. I hate Camparis. One is my limit. I thought you were going up to County Mayo on your pilgrimage.
FRANK: Been there already. Done that, me boy.
GK: And how is Danny O'Danny?
FRANK: About as charming as a stuffed bird. And he's a complete fraud. I saw the plastic tube that makes the B.V.M. cry. Shameful! Shocking!
GK: And how did your parishioners like it?
FRANK: They loved it.
GK: Of course.
FRANK: The depths of human gullibility can be discouraging sometimes. --- Another Guinness, sir! ---- Why don't you throw that Italian vinegar down the toilet and have a pint, me boy?
JOE: (APPROACHING) Well, well, well, well.
GK: Mr. O'Connell, good to see you. Like you to meet Father O'Furniture. Join us in a pint.
JOE: Don't mind if I do. -----Making any progress trying to find my busload of tourists, Mr. Noir?
GK: I've been working on that. It's an intuitive process, you know. Inductive reasoning. It takes time.
JOE: Well, you can put your mind at ease. They've been found.
GK: Wonderful.
FRANK: A busload of Americans were lost??
GK: In Cork.
FRANK: Where?
GK: In Cark.
FRANK: Oh, in Cark!
JOE: They were put into quarantine by a government agricultural inspector. For foot-and-mouth disease.
GK: I thought the disease only affected cattle.
JOE: Well, these Americans are fairly broad of beam ---- good substantial people they are--- and they were moving rather slowly in a group and sort of moaning to themselves. So--- the authorities put them on a truck and they're in a holding area in County Wicklow.
GK: Are they all right?
JOE: They're tourists. They're all right as long as they're with the group.
GK: How long are they going to be in quarantine?
JOE: Fifteen days, but they don't know that.
GK: Oh?
JOE: Every hour or so, someone goes on the P.A. and tells them there'll be another update in half an hour, and so far they're content with that.
GK: Those airlines have trained us well.
FRANK: So your job is done, then, eh Mr. Noir? You'll be heading back home soon, I imagine...
GK: I suppose so. And you too?
FRANK: No, I'm going to stay. I've been a priest long enough. I'm going to stay and take a ride on the Celtic Tiger. Got myself a mobile telephone and a website and I'm learning Microsoft Word and I'm starting a new career in E-commerce.
GK: You aren't.
FRANK: Faith, yes. It's a new age, me boy. You can have the whole world with a click of the mouse. A man has to be bold and look to the future, me boy. And I've become a partner in a whole new enterprise. Danny O'Danny dot com.
GK: You're pulling my leg.
FRANK: Faith no. We're going to sell his CDs and book and hankies and tea cozies on-line. And if we can find a way to make tears come out of a modem, we'll be on Easy Street.
GK: Well, good luck to you, Father O'Furniture.
FRANK: Good luck to you, me boy. Or as we say in Ireland, "May the wind always be at your back but not coming out of you personally."
DEIRDRE: A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets, but one man is still trying to find the answers to life's persistent questions. Guy Noir, Private Eye. (MUSIC OUT)

"Good morning!" said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out farther than the brim of his shady hat.
"What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
"All of them at once," said Bilbo.

"Although we at Soylent do not have a long association with the Olympics, we do have deep roots in the celebration of global competition, which is the core value of the Olympic spirit. This allows us at Soylent to build deeper relationships with people and with the nations, whose very lives are sustained by our many protein food products.
As Dubai provides the world's most complex and leading high-tech artifices of winter sports during this on-going global drought, we at Soylent are providing struggling nations the sustainability of life and prosperity through our new plankton based food product: Soylent Green. Through our sponsorship of Dubai 2022 we pledge to provide this same quality of care for the nutrition of our athletes as we strive for the restitution of our planet's ecosystems."
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."

Raymond.C Cook was a civil servant. His hobby was to carve ordinary matches into intricate sculptures. He was particularly proud of a ball and chain carved from a single match, the unlit head of the match formed the ball connected to eighteen articulated links. Apart from a brief appearance on a children's television programme in the early seventies his achievements went by largely unnoticed.

Exotic Crop
Preview Sunday 28 July, 2pm
28 July - 26 August 2013
Rebecca Gould, Suzanne Mooney & Mary Vettise
Curated by Melissa Hinkin
Exotic Crop is an intimate three-person exhibition that explores different modes of display through low-tech devices and craft-like processes. Working with highly textured surfaces across photography, drawing, film and sculpture, these artists collect and layer found images and objects to create seductive compositions and evocative dreamscapes. With a strong feminine sensibility the work touches on the nature of appropriation and consumption; behind carefully composed images structures start to slip, perspectives disjoint, edges begin to fray.
Continuing the Soundvite series, a new piece by Mary Vettise has been created to compliment the project, this is played through the GMP home page and will form the invitation to Exotic Crop.
A limited edition print will be created for Exotic Crop, further details to follow shortly. For further enquiries and images contact GMP through goatmajorprojectsATgmailDOTcom
TIPS FOR ARTISTS by COMMON CULTURE
01/01 - 31/03/13
Phase 2 During the winter of 2012 GMP embarked on a period of research that looks at bringing the space back to the original intention to develop the space as a place for curatorial experiment. The working title for this is Curator Lab. Co founder Richard Higlett has received funding to allow time to question his role as an artist and curator and time to network and build the research side of the project.
GMP will be launching the Future Archive before Christmas.
Artists who have presented in the project space have been asked to create a limited edition to compliment their exhibition. These have been created through Printhaus working with Nigel Bowles. The editions are by Rebecca Glover, Mike Murray, Paul Emmanuel, Lois Williams and Richard Higlett as curator of The Witching Hour and the Endless Kiss Installation. GMP are also inviting print maker to include a piece for the project which will be available as a limited boxed archive edition or as individual prints. A 'Scoop It' e-magazine site will profile the prints which will be available to purchase through the site. Sales support the artists and GMP's continued programme.

ARCADY: Lois Williams curated by Mike Tooby
'Arcady' is Lois Williams' first new solo project in the UK for 10 years.
It follows her participation in 2011 in 'Artisterium', in Tbilisi, Georgia. In Georgia she showed her first body of new work following an extended period when her practice was dominated by her role as consultant 'artist in the design team' for Oriel Mostyn Llandudno's redevelopment project.
'Arcady' speaks of the generalised vision of an ideal place, and of a specific association in the artist's mind. Lois Williams travelled through eastern Europe in 1994 to visit Brancusi's Endless Column, Gate of the Kiss and Table of Silence at Tirgu Giu. She now recalls being struck throughout this journey by a place near Odessa bearing the name 'Arkady'. For two decades she has carried the word with its associations in her mind as a potential title or designation for a group of pieces, being reminded of this as she continues travelling in what was once the Soviet Bloc.
Her work is made in two studios.
One is an old cottage, within a few hundred yards not only of her present home, but the now derelict farm on which she was born, and the farm which her parents worked for much of her life. The other is a purpose built new space in an artists' studio block in Sheffield, where her teaching career was based. She is about to vacate this studio.
idea of duality in her work has been explored in past projects and in
critical discussion. A renewed concern with memory, personal history,
the claims of particular places and the potential of new contexts has
played an important part in her recent work.
The title may suggest a pursuit of a golden age, but it is difficult to say whether this lies in the past or may come to be in the future, whether it is close at hand or lying at a distance.
Text: Mike Tooby'Arcady' is a collaboration with Michael Tooby.
Michael Tooby first worked with Lois Williams on a solo show at Mappin Art Gallery Sheffield in 1986. He wrote on her work in the publications for the touring survey 'New North' organized by Tate Liverpool in 1990 and for her major solo show 'O'r Canol / From the Interior' at Mostyn Llandudno in 1996.
GMP Future Archive Print Editions
'Arcady' is made specifically for the project space at Goat Major Projects in Cardiff. The installation will be accompanied by a new print on paper as part of GMP editions. Available shortly

The Witching Hour: Sound Art from Wales.
Sara Annwyl, Kathryn Campbell & Jake Whittaker, Matt Cook, Michael Cousin, Paul Emmanuel, Tom Goddard, Heloise Godfrey, Mark Houghton, Leona Jones and Richard Huw Morgan.
Curated by Richard Higlett
As part of Cardiff Contemporary, Goat Major Projects will presenting
its 7th Project: The Witching Hour. This will feature the creation of a
sonique lounge in the Canton based project space. The lounge will play a
programme of sound art by artists based in Wales.
The title 'The Witching Hour' is influenced by the writings of David Toop
whose book 'Haunted Weather' refers to sound as being uncanny and
other worldly. Selection of artists has been through an open call ending
midnight 1st October 2012. The project will also have 2 performances at
midnight during the exhibition as artists call upon the witching hour for
evidence confirming sound is a vehicle for conveying the physical
presence of things and people.
Down PDF on sound works
http://www.goatmajorprojects.com/twh handout.pdf
The project is part GMP's Agenda for Sound; which will be developing
more opportunities for presenting sound art in 2013.
GMP would like to thank Cardiff Council for their support of the project
through the Cardiff Contemporary initiative that is developing the profile
of contemporary art in the capital in partnership with the creative
communities who live in the city.

In Xavier De Maistre's A Journey Around My Room, published in 1794, a man is trapped in his room for 6 weeks. A space measured as 36 paces long, though he rarely travels in a straight line as he takes numerous short journeys of discovery. This period of incarceration allows him to contemplate the meaning and value of the objects around him. As he looks at engravings and furniture he begins to see them as scenes from a grand voyage, chairs become monumental, while one particular journey involves him travelling north to his bed. Maistre had created a parody of the grand travel narratives popular in the later 18th century. It was a time before the invention of railways an idealistic period before the ability to move around at speed meant distance and time compressed and travel became common place. A Journey Around My Room came back into prominence through Alain de Botton's Art of Travel, a book that could be found under countless Christmas trees a number of years back. Here the narrative was framed more philosophically as we were invited to contemplate the relationship between a journey through physical space and one travelled in the mind. Both are open to self-improvement while at the centre of both are the parameters of scale. In A Journey Around My Room we learn there is as much information to contemplate in a few metres as there are in 1000 kilometres, if we let the mind be free to wander.
Mike Murray's work explores the ideas and processes of Surrealism; the influence of the subconscious in our actions and what exists beneath the thin veil we place over life we mistakenly describe as reality. The resulting work presents a form of dark humour at odds with the delicate and refined process of the watercolour.
At points during the exhibition, Mike Murray will spend time in the gallery responding directly to a book on furniture construction which informed the exhibition. This action will take the form of adding new images to the printed diagrams. These 'cuckoo' images will take the diagrams beyond their original meaning.
For Assembled at Home, Mike Murray has worked with the Printhaus' Nigel Bowles on two print editions that will be available to purchase. All sales of the edition will be supporting the artist and the future program at GMP. This edition is the second in an on-going series that compliment the exhibitions program.

15th July to 5th August 2012
OPEN SEASON is an opportunity to explore the potentual of the GMP project space. Artist, musicians and performers will have have an opportunity to use the space from mid July to early August. Some events will be public, others to select audiences and others will happen in secrecy.

Space Invader by Rebecca Glover till- 8th July 2012
Installation detail: image GMP
'Space Invader' by artist Rebecca Glover.
On Sunday 3rd June 2012 from 12pm to 3pm, Goat Major Projects (GMP) opens its second show by artist Rebecca Glover. Space Invader is Glover's first solo show outside of London and is a reconstructed installation of a public work originally commissioned for 'Flat 52, market estate project 2010' a one-day event which invited the public to explore over 75 art works created on site at the Market Estate, Islington just before the estate was demolished.
Space Invader is an art installation that is occupies the entire GMP space. Her installation features blue spikes pushing out from the space walls that prepensely trespasses in the space; pushing out or obstructing the viewer. Space Invader marks the first exhibition outside of London for Rebecca Glover, Glover is an emerging artist who is gaining recognition for her evocative interventions and we are pleased to be showing her first in Wales at GMP.
In recent years, Glover has been experimenting with the properties of drawing, painting and sculpture and the influence of each medium on her work.
"Over time an interesting dialogue begins to develop across the different dimensions and mediums. Paintings often trigger an idea for a new sculpture and the sculptural work acts as a starting point for new drawings and paintings. Each medium feeds the others and develops my visual language." Artist Rebecca Glover
The title of the Space Invader is a comment on the presentation of contemporary art in the public realm and gallery context and plays with how art in received and contested depending on the context of its derivation.
A signed digital print by Rebecca Glover is available as an edition of 25. Further details through the Editions section of the website.
Artist Talk
On Sunday 8st July at 2pm, artist Rebecca Glover will be in discussion with Emma M Price on her practice and her current solo show at GMP, both will investigate further the Space invader context in relation to presenting art in the public realm and art in the gallery context.

1st April to 13h May 2012
In Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-up, the main character is casually taking photographs of a distant couple arguing in a park. Unknowingly he is witnessing a crime taking place and the murder of the male is captured on film. On realising this, he attempts to enlarge a section of one of the photographs, a image of bushes where a gunman appears to be hiding. Despite numerous attempts the greater he enlarges the image the more the resolution breaks down and the use of photography to present visual facts or 'evidence' is called into question.
For Endless Kiss the first presentation the Goat Major Projects space, GMP co-founder and artist Richard Higlett has recreated El Lissitzky's seminal installation piece of 1923 Proun Room using an image from the internet with a file size of 70kb. The creation is an exercise in guesswork with dimensions estimated. The piece has been made using mostly scraps of wood from around his studio while a subsequent photograph of the interpretation suggests the work of a more objective maker. As in Blow-up, the source used to make the work is open to interpretation as details cannot be reproduced with a level of certainty. The exercise becomes an echo of the 1923 original while conceptually existing in its own right as no other research other than viewing the image from the internet has taken place.
Endless Kiss has been created as a starting point for a number of dialogues about the ways in which we experience life through different mediums and use them as false substitutes for evidence of the original. The piece is intentionally theatrical and lacking the creative rigor. An accompanying work Endless Kiss 2.0, is a low quality print of the Wikipedia page for El Lissitzky. Wikipedia is considered a contemporary signifier of factual information. A small black circle on the first wall indicates the point the artist returned to when estimating the position of objects in the space, compensating for the distortion by the camera lens, as he attempted to return the image to existing in three dimensions.
Artist's Talk: Sunday 6th May 11am.
Richard Higlett will be discussing Endless Kiss and the history of Proun Room along with other examples of 20th century artworks that have been remade. He will be showing a small film that documents a recreation of a second Proun Room made in 1969 from the artists notes. Until the talk he has deliberately avoided seeing any other documentation of the work other than the low resolution on-line image.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT - Bluwolf Friday Morning post emailed to Recaps
Good morning its 9:15 am eastern Santiago time,, I see a lot of misconceptions and misinformation out there and I can say I told you so for it is imminent for this to happen.
See, the thing is the cabal don't desire to lose its full power and it is trying to do all in what they may have left to create havoc, confusion, discredit towards intel people, mistrust, mayhem, loss of peace, murder by association you name it, if I forgot something you may fill things in as you wish.
Now see here is where we are and this is it inside the box. First the rates are steady and high and once it rv's it will maintain its value according to law between 30 days before the drop.
Those saying something less in time are only trying to lure you to exchange as soon as possible with them, those saying that if you negotiate a rate you will be sent to the back of the process
Read More Link on Right
First they don't wish for you to deal with The UST clearance house which only is Wells Fargo and they are subliminally pushing in some other banks propaganda, see greediness tends to do just that and these certain banks want a big chunk of the cake if they could all.
CL will not and cannot change the rates nor dictate its passings that is not her role in these procedures, besides the fact that changing the values in the rates will only place us back to the stone age again.
We would have to recalculate and revalue everything, every dime and this takes a enormous amount of time and it isn't because I say it, you all have lived it, so I can presume that she will not make that stupid and idiotical move at all, its simply is not her style so sorry on this conspiracy.
Then we have the issues with simply the bird brains, yes those with tents in the parking, cc don't call the bank, load up buses from the south and storm two northeast banks type of folks, honestly don't you realize that only you guys are causing this delay, so chill folks just stop doing this crap and act as professionals waiting your turn with ordinance and respect.
I take this time to tell these owner of sites lets shut up do not give out any info and just be back when we get the call this way we will rv fast and the things above mentioned just will stop from happening, think about it.
And finally the" I curse your mother out "people, yes those haters of everything good, yea you the ones that think that's its either your way or it ain't, yea the certain folks that we decent Christian folk would never immulate or follow, you seem to know all answers, you seem to think yourselves wiser than the average intel provider so you seek to hurt them when things don't go your way, you disrespect and curse them, NOW I ASK YOU WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ?
From my perspective with all do respects you are simply nothing to me nor to the rest of this world. All expected is still on track, motion-asn, rates high, cc ready, 800# are up to be given out, IMF intervention-grain of salt not probable, logical. To Puerto Rico best rates ever only in the continental United States period.
Facts folks here is where we really stand, I hate to see as a third person how they are using some really good folks and sites to create confusion, mayhem and havoc to you who only deserve only our best. Be blessed everyone, happy journeys, BLUWOLF
Now as i never post on DinarRecaps i rally enjoyed this post and had to say that this is the most rational post i have seen yet! Mostly all of us are adults and some things are just plain common sense how currency works. Yes! This is a different situation but yet in the end it still plays out just like every other currency out there! people feed us such great information just to pass us by until the time comes for all of this to be and its just becoming to be silly! i was one of the people that would feed into it but i cant do that anymore because i have seen no progression from it! I appreciate posts like these because they are much more rational and don't get my hopes up for our fruition be be coming in a matter of minutes when i know that is not the case. Yes! It can happen anytime but i can tell you all that your average joe will not know when that time is. The most information one can receive is that is happening soon and hold tight! We can also do our own research!! GOD Bless!!!

Review of "Selling To Win - Richard Denny"
Selling To Win by Richard DennyWhen I tell people that I work in a bank, the natural image that springs to the mind of most is a local HSBC: Customers patiently queuing in line, an array of cashiers willing to serve, and general banking activities taking place all around. When I describe my place of work as an office, with no cash on the premises and without a current account facility, it's easy to understand why people see me as a salesman rather than a bank employee.
My business cards acknowledge me as a Customer Account Manager. It sounds posh, but in real terms, I am a salesman, and it's my job to sell loans.When I first joined the company, a little under a year ago, there was a copy of a book called "Selling to win" hanging around the office. A quick flick through showed it did what it said, and that it was a sales book. Indeed, the inner cover boasts the tag "Tested techniques for closing the sale". As any person involved in or around sales will testify, particularly those who earn commission, "closing the sale" is the most important part of the job. Rather than pay out £9.99 for a copy, I searched around and got it for a fifth of the price on eBay.
Richard Denny is well regarded as a motivator, and having worked in Sales all of his life is considered, by the blurb on the back of his own book at least, as "one of the UK's foremost authorities on sales". Alongside a money-back guarantee, you are quick to assume that he is self-confident and that the book is worthy of at least a closer look.The book starts as it means to go on, with the page before the introduction taken up by a two sentence quote:
"Nothing happens anywhere in the world until a sale takes place. And salespeople bring in the money that everyone else can eventually live off."Ignoring the poor use of punctuation (who starts a sentence with And?), this sentence is capable of acting as a catalyst as to how you perceive this book. If you can accept that the phrase may be correct, and please note that I say accept rather than agree, then this book will be a fairly handy read. If it makes you laugh loudly and mutter something along the lines of "Yeah, whatever!", then you'd better be served putting the book down and doing something else entirely!
Following a brief introductory chapter, the book runs through 17 chapters starting with "Selling in Perspective", which I'm glad to say is a look at selling in comparison to anything else, as opposed to a chapter specialising in merely selling in a town called Perspective.Throughout the first nine chapters, which span planning, finding the time and the business, getting the appointment, presenting and finally closing the sale, Denny comes across as very confident. Not only does Denny have a very authoritative writing style, but he follows up a lot of what he says with examples taken from his own life. This makes the book not only informative, but also interesting to read and easy to relate to.
From Chapter 9, entitled Closing the sale, there are further chapters which encompass professionalism, objection handling, body language and various other traits and everyday occurrences. Once again, Denny backs up what he says with examples of his own, this time referring back to earlier chapters.Each chapter concludes with "Pocket reminders". Essentially these are one-line summaries of the previous few pages, and act as a useful summing up exercise to be reviewed at a later date.
Although Selling to win is not the type of book that you can sit and read in a few hours – there is far too much information to take in and digest – It is ideal to dip in and out of when you have a few minutes. I got this book roughly 8 months ago, and spent the first few weeks reading a chapter at a time in the bath. I found that once I had read three or four chapters in a row, I would re-read them rather than move on to the next. This enabled me to retain more of the advice given.Overall the book has been fairly useful. I have seen people refer to it as their bible, and though I can't make the same comparison, it has been extremely handy in my work. I'm lucky in that many of the work ethics preached in the book run alongside those we are told to go by at work. Despite this, I still recommend to my colleagues that they read the book as it offers a non-company-status-quo view of sales.
The book itself still retails at £9.99 (though I can see it's online for £6.99) and is widely available in all the usual places. I myself would highly recommend it to anyone working or looking to work in outbound sales.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — The clerk in New Mexico's Los Alamos County said she will decide on Tuesday whether to join six other counties and begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Los Alamos County Clerk Sharon Stover will decide by then whether to abide by the judge's order or seek to stop it, reported the Los Alamos Mirror.
A judge on Thursday ordered Stover to start granting same-sex marriage licenses or to appear in court next week to explain why that shouldn't happen.
Stover says she has not had enough time yet to review the documentation officials received with the county attorney.
The order comes after Janet Newton and Maria Thibodeau asked a state district court last week to require Los Alamos County officials to issue them a marriage license, a move that expands the legal battle over gay marriage in New Mexico.
Earlier last week, another district judge ruled that it was unconstitutional to deny gay and lesbian couples a marriage license in a case against Bernalillo and Santa Fe county clerks, although that ruling doesn't apply statewide.
County clerks across the state agreed Wednesday to take legal steps to try to get a uniform policy on same-sex marriage statewide, rather than having the issue decided piecemeal through county-by-county lawsuits.
Article continues below
Since then, five other counties — Santa Fe, Bernalillo, San Miguel, Valencia, and Taos — have all started issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, either under court order or by their own volition.
New Mexico law doesn't explicitly prohibit or authorize same-sex marriage.

Andy Murray's first singles match of the year on grass lasted just two games at the Queen's Club Artois Championships as Sebastien Grosjean was forced to retire with a left leg injury.
"I would rather have won the match normally just because you get more confidence from that, but I got a good hour or 75 minutes on court with the doubles yesterday," said Murray after the Centre Court default. "I didn't see him warming up before the match.
"He had a problem with his shoulder before the French Open and hurt his hamstring in Monte Carlo so he hasn't played for six or seven weeks, but I didn't expect him to have to quit the match.
"It was at least nice to finish with two aces with a serve as poor as mine!"
Grosjean, once a Wimbledon semi-finalist, saved three break points in the opening game before a double fault gifted Murray a break, and the Frenchman then immediately called for the trainer at the change of ends.
His left thigh was heavily strapped but did not appear to be causing him too much concern as he forged a break point on Murray's serve in the next game.
However, after the British number one fired down two aces to win the game, Grosjean signalled to the umpire he was unable to continue.
Murray will hope for tougher tests as the week progresses as he builds up to Wimbledon, where he reached the fourth round in 2006.
"I'd like to get into the second week of Wimbledon and then do better than I did the last time," added Murray, who missed Wimbledon last year with a wrist injury.
"I think for me anyway, if you go into a tournament with a mindset of 'I want to get to the fourth round', then when you get to the fourth round you're kind of happy with what you've done and you don't have the right mentality going into the next matches.
"I think you have to go in believing that you can win the tournament. If you get to the quarters, semi-finals, it's still a good result but you've given yourself the best chance to win the tournament.
"My goal is to try and win the tournament but I guess I've never made the quarter-finals of a slam before, so that would be progress."
Earlier in the day, Britain's Daniel Evans, 18, was beaten 6-1, 6-1 by another former Wimbledon semi-finalist, Belgium's Xavier Malisse.
Norfolk's Richard Bloomfield put up a much better display against world number 15 Fernando Gonzalez before losing 7-6 (7/5), 6-3.
Bloomfield, ranked 412 in the world, led 4-1 in the tie-break before Gonzalez won six of the next seven points and one break of serve was enough to decide the second set.

Hi all, I have just got back from a meeting at work and I am REALLY exhausted, well, from work anyway :-) To cheer myself up, I put on my almost finished waist coat and took a pic.... what do you think?
Well, it's definitely different from that dress I had :-) After sewing on my rick rack onto the edges, I've finally managed to get it to look like something!!! I need to tuck in the sleeves cos it is a bit tight (remember it was originally the top of a dress). Contemplating on putting on some black lace onto it but do you think it will make it look better, or drab? Opinions, please! :-)

A report, produced by the UN Operation in Cote d'Ivoire ( UNOCI) in cooperation with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, has documented serious human rights abuses committed by the Dozo during their security activities, Farhan Haq, the acting UN deputy spokesperson said.
"According to the investigations, at least 228 people were killed and 164 injured by bullets, machetes and knives, and 162 people were arbitrarily arrested and illegally detained by Dozo," Haq said at a news briefing here.
UN: Many were killed and detained by Dozo, traditional hunters
"In addition, 274 cases of looting, arson and extortion committed by the Dozo have been verified and confirmed."
Navi Pillay, UN high commissioner for human rights, said the impunity enjoyed by the Dozo was "unacceptable" and "must be stopped".
She also stressed that the authorities had a duty to seriously investigate the human rights abuses and deploy security forces throughout the country to prevent people from using the Dozo for security reasons.

ddlgen utility genrates SQL statements for the creation of objects eg. create table <table_name>
so for creating the objects in any database there is no need to use ddlgen again.
Just login to the server and run the sql commands (generated from ddlgen) from SQL prompt.

Mercy's Rain
(E-bog, ePub)
Beskrivelse: When your life is built around a father's wrath, how can you trust in the love of Father God?Mercy Roller knows her name is a lie: there has never been any mercy in ... Læs mere her young life. Raised by a twisted and abusive father who called himself the Pastor, she was abandoned by the church community that should have stood together to protect her from his evil. Her mother, consumed by her own fear and hate, won't stand her ground to save Mercy either.The Pastor has robbed Mercy of innocence and love, a husband and her child. Not a single person seems capable of standing up to the Pastor's unrestrained evil. So Mercy takes matters into her own hands. Her heart was hardened to love long before she took on the role of judge, jury, and executioner of the Pastor. She just didn't realize the retribution she thought would save her, might turn her into the very thing she hated most.Sent away by her angry and grieving mother, Mercy's path is unclear until she meets a young preacher headed to counsel a pregnant couple. Sure that her calling is to protect the family, Mercy is drawn into a different life on the other side of the mountain where she slowly discovers true righteousness has nothing evil about it-and that there might be room for her own stained and shattered soul to find shelter. . . and even love.Mercy's Rain is a remarkable historical novel set in 19th century Appalachia that traces the thorny path from bitterness to forgiveness and reveals the victory and strength that comes from simple faith.

For most folks the sneaker selection for any event going down out in South Beach would be a no-brainer. Loso here is apparently off that by now, having had his hands on the most recent South Beach infused style for months now. Fabolous instead decided to swerve around the obvious while still paying homage to King James and his current home, lacing up in the Nike LeBron 9 Low 'Floridians' while lampin' at the Coors Pool Party at the Perry Hotel in Miami.

My rabbit passed away 2 years ago but she is always in my heart.
She's was not a normal rabbit, she would listen to my stories, even about the stupid things I've done, and she was always next to me when I was asleep.
Her being gone has taken lots of my tears and even now, with 2 years being gone already, I still can't forget.
She was a brave rabbit and even cats were scared of her. Dogs would see her and give chase, but she never got caught.

From Olive...yes....we are friends on FB...but that is the extent of the friendship....we comment on each others walls....but we dont hang out or anything. I LOVED her as my midwife....I really wished I could have had her this time. But she isn't equipped to be a midwife on her own (before it was a birthing center)...I was so sad!
Momma to Emma, Elzie, Gretchen, Olive, and Rogan
We aren't to give a baby milk, berries, or peanut butter. We are to introduce new foods one at a time. But it's OK to inject several viruses, bacteria, aluminum, formaldehyde, phenoxyethanol, animal serum, mercury, squalene and more into an 8 week old? I don't think so.
In order to be healthy it is an unfortunate fact that people must be allowed the opportunity to be ill. I trust my body and those of my children to work correctly against the relatively benign diseases they vax for, and do not trust the ingredients in the vaccinations.
Our choice to not vax isn't based in ignorance, poverty, conspiracy theory and rumor. It's research, common sense, fact and evidence based..something the medical community has largely forgot about.

To investigate the effect of etanercept therapy on radiographic progression in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00356356.
The Rheumatology Department of the Academic Hospital Maastricht received compensation from Amgen for the use of the OASIS data set.
To investigate the effect of etanercept therapy on radiographic progression in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Patients with AS who had previously participated in a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of etanercept therapy were enrolled in a 72-week open-label extension. Radiographs of the cervical and lumbar spine from patients who received etanercept (25 mg twice weekly) for up to 96 weeks were compared with radiographs from patients in a large prevalence cohort (Outcome Assessments in Ankylosing Spondylitis International Study [OASIS]) who had not been treated with anti–tumor necrosis factor α (anti-TNFα) agents. Radiographs obtained at 2 time points up to 96 weeks apart from patients in both study populations were digitized and read by 2 independent readers who were blinded with regard to patient group and sequence. The primary end point was the 96-week change in the modified Stoke AS Spine Score (mSASSS).
A total of 257 patients treated with etanercept were compared with 175 unselected patients from the OASIS study. There was no significant difference in the change in the mSASSS from baseline among patients who received etanercept (mean ± SD 0.91 ± 2.45) versus those from the OASIS group (0.95 ± 3.18).
Unlike other inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, structural progression in AS seems to be independent of TNF, despite the fact that TNF is responsible for the signs and symptoms due to inflammation in this disease.

Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by truballr, Apr 16, 2009.
I have been waiting for a tool like this, thank you! I will test it out and report back.
The official blog post about this is here:
The download is here:
This is nice for backing up WiiWare you have purchased. I still would like to see a tool for easily converting a dol into a wad, and WADder is NOT that tool. Oh BootMii, why have you forsaken us?
No problem, oops forgot about the links!
has been posted a while ago: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149075
just tested it..
it takes a little time before the channel names shows up.. ( it depens on how many channels you have I guess.. )
wen converting a channel in to a wad it reminds me of a wad installation.. but it talkes 1-2 min longer.. ( it depens on the Channel )
but its messing a "button guide" in the background.. but I am ok with non guide.. ( it works like all of the waninkokos apps.. )
PS. sorry for my bad english..
why isn't wadder one of those?
It's an overly complex (not usage, execution) macro, essentially. It's a dirty solution. It works, it's acceptable, but it's not the proper way to go about it. At the moment, there really is no proper way, and that's unfortunate.
Have you tried the new versions? Like WADder 2.4? There is no automations at all, it is all backgroud apps, and you edit existing channels, so you can only change what you want to.
I'd check it out, versions below 2.0 weren't good (btw, I'm no longer creating WADder, Jacol Beyros is).
thus App is not like Wadder it makes Wads from the installed titles in your Wii Console

Twins could be trade partner as deadline nears
When things went south a few games after the All-Star break, it was obvious that the Minnesota Twins would be sellers at the trade deadline.
After losing three games to Tampa Bay out of the break, the Twins fell even further out of contention and inched closer to a fourth straight losing season. The comments from general manager Terry Ryan seemed to back up the notion that Minnesota would be unloading players — rather than acquiring talent — by the July 31 deadline.
"We're a long way from .500, frankly," Ryan said during that Rays series. "I've got a fair idea what we're doing and where we're at, who's ahead of us. We've got a lot of clubs to jump."
With one day to go before the non-waiver trade deadline, Minnesota sits at 48-57 and in last place in the American League Central, 10 games back of first-place Detroit. The Twins are also 8 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot in the AL with 57 games remaining.
Minnesota already made one move this month, sending first baseman/designated hitter Kendrys Morales to Seattle in exchange for minor-league pitcher Stephen Pryor. Within the next 24 hours, more Twins could be on the move.
That includes left fielder Josh Willingham, who has grown used to hearing his name thrown around at the trade deadline. That was the case last year, but Willingham stayed put. Though he hasn't put up numbers anywhere close to the career year he had with Minnesota in 2012 (35 home runs, 110 RBI), the 35-year-old Willingham could still provide some power from the right side of the plate for a playoff contender. He has 10 homers and 30 RBI in 58 games with the Twins this year.
FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reported Tuesday that the Seattle Mariners — who Minnesota just recently made a deal with — were in discussion with the Twins about Willingham. A few other teams, including the New York Yankees, have reportedly expressed interest in the left fielder. Regardless of what kind of return the Twins could get for Willingham, it makes sense to deal him now. At 35, he doesn't figure to be a part of the team's future plans. He's also in the final year of his contract and likely wouldn't be back in Minnesota next season anyway.
There have been several other names of Twins players churning in the trade rumor mill over the last few weeks. Among them are right-hander Kevin Correia and catcher Kurt Suzuki, both of whom are set to become free agents after the 2014 season. Correia's last few starts haven't done much to improve his trade value, but he could bring a veteran presence to a contending club in need of starting pitching depth.
Suzuki, meanwhile, is in the midst of a career year offensively. In 88 games, Suzuki is batting .307 — a career high by nearly 30 points — with 41 RBI and 19 doubles and earned his first All-Star appearance. The Twins signed him to a one-year deal this past winter to help ease the transition of Joe Mauer from catcher to first base, and few people expected Suzuki to put up the offensive numbers he has. While signing him to a contract extension remains a possibility, so does trading him to a contending team in need of a catcher. Given how productive he's been at the plate this season, Suzuki's value may never be higher.
The Twins hoped they wouldn't find themselves in the position of sellers, a spot that has become all too familiar after losing 96-plus games in each of the past three seasons. The last two years saw a struggling Minnesota team deal a player (or players) to contenders in order to acquire something in return.
Last year, Minnesota sent catcher Drew Butera to the Dodgers on the July 31 deadline for a player to be named later, which turned out to be pitcher Miguel Sulbaran. After that deadline but before the Aug. 31 waiver deadline, the Twins dealt Jamey Carroll to Kansas City for cash, giving the veteran infielder a chance to play for a contender. And on Aug. 31 of last year, longtime first baseman and fan favorite Justin Morneau was traded to Pittsburgh for outfielder Alex Presley and pitcher Duke Welker. While fans were sad to see Morneau go, the trade made sense for both teams. Morneau was about to enter free agency and likely was going to sign elsewhere (he inked a deal with the Rockies this past winter), and it allowed the Twins to let Morneau play in the postseason.
None of those trades yielded a huge return. Sulbaran, the only part of the Butera trade, is now a member of the Yankees organization after the Twins traded him to acquire Eduardo Nunez. Nunez has been a solid utility player for Minnesota this year, although his acquisition was not a direct result of the Butera trade. Meanwhile, Presley was claimed off waivers by Houston before the 2014 season began, and Welker was traded back to Pittsburgh for pitcher Kris Johnson.
Minnesota made a few more deadline deals in 2012. That included sending left-hander Francisco Liriano to the White Sox for infielder Eduardo Escobar and pitcher Pedro Hernandez. Escobar has played shortstop for most of 2014 while bouncing around the infield for the Twins, while Hernandez made a few starts in 2013 but was signed by the Rockies this past winter. And in 2011, Delmon Young was traded after the July 31 deadline to Detroit for pitchers Cole Nelson and Lester Oliveros.
Whatever deals the Twins may make between now and the end of August, fans shouldn't necessarily expect a sizeable return. Teams that acquire these players at the deadline are usually renting them for a month or two, hoping their addition can help boost their club to the playoffs. The playoffs aren't in the picture for Minnesota this year, and the Twins will continue to build toward 2015 and beyond. Any return for these soon-to-be free agents should be viewed as a good thing.

|2016 Chevy Sonic
|Leather Seats
|Not available
|28 City/36 Highway
|Base MPG
|26 City/35 Highway
|2L EcoBoost I4 Turbocharged

Subcompact cars are great for people who want to both maximize on fuel efficiency, but also keep the cost of entry on their vehicle down. Not everyone can afford a hybrid, but with vehicles like the 2016 Ford Fiesta or 2016 Chevy Sonic, you can get close to hybrid levels of efficiency. But which is the better vehicle for you? Take a look at our 2016 Ford Fiesta vs 2016 Chevy Sonic comparison!
Both the 2016 Ford Fiesta and Sonic come in at roughly the same price, though the Sonic's MSRP is about $200 less than the Fiesta. Ultimate the price will depend on what trims you're looking at, the features you want, and whatever deal is currently going on. The two also come standard with fuel efficiency numbers in the mid 30s.
Even though both the 2016 Ford Fiesta and Sonic start with already good fuel efficiency numbers, you can have the option to increase these even further with engine and transmission options in each of them. The 2016 Sonic can achieve 40 MPG on the highway with one of its engines, but the 2016 Ford Fiesta has it beat with a 43 MPG rating on the highway with its award winning 1.0L EcoBoost engine.
The 2016 Ford Fiesta also comes with a number of interior options that are great for adding some extra value to your vehicle. Not a big fan of how cloth seats feel? You can upgrade to a set of leather seats, which the leatherette seats in the Sonic don't quite match. The Ford Fiesta also offers a performance trim with a 0-60 mph time that is a whole 3 seconds faster than the sporty Sonic RS trim.
If the 2016 Ford Fiesta sounds like the right car for you, feel free to stop by Sanders Ford in Jacksonville NC and we'll make sure we give you all the details you'll need to determine if the Fiesta fits your lifestyle.

THIS ALASKA FISHING VACATION SITE IS MAINLY USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AT eYouniversity
Dear Fellow Angler,
The idea of an Alaska fishing vacation thrills me. I hope to enjoy the experience of fishing salmon or trout in Alaska one day. But like every journey, the first steps, the preparation steps, are all-important. Planning an Alaska fishing trip is not done in minutes. It takes time.
Are you also planning for an Alaska fishing vacation? Are you looking for information on tour packages and what kind of preparation to make for the trip? Are you looking for fishing tips to ensure that you have all the advantages to enjoy your Alaska fishing holiday? Are you finding out about other costs that will be incurred during the trip?
It is my pleasure to congratulate you for taking the first step to a very challenging and most rewarding vacation - an Alaska fishing trip.
While I was searching for information to plan a fishing vacation to Alaska, I realised that accurate, comprehensive and updated information about planning an Alaska fishing trip was simply not available. To benefit aspiring visitors like yourself, I have specially compiled my observations and research into one site – To Get the Best Preparation for Your Alaska Fishing Vacation.
Reading this site take less than 1% of what it would take to search the internet for information yourself. Yet you will finish with much more than fragmented information on your Alaska fishing trip….. you will have a detailed preparation plan in one single site.
This site and all the advice in it has been specifically written to help and inform you to prepare your own fishing trip to Alaska.
Just read. It will take some time to read this site. It is time well invested. You will see that the approach is solid, that it makes sense. You are planning a trip to the last frontier and you need to inform yourself before you go there. Best of all… AFTER you have read the information on this site, planned your trip, you are READY. You are super-PREPARED, in a way that very few fishermen EVER prepare!
This site keeps you always up-to-date, as it deletes the old, adds the new and only presents what is essential for your Alaska fishing vacation. I read and boil ALL the info and e-zines down to what you need. YOU focus on preparing your Alaska fishing vacation, not sorting out all the "Noise".
OK… now that you have the big picture, let's go!
But wait... I live in The Netherlands, and I'm the author and editor of alaska-fishing-vacation-advisor.com. (Please note that English is not my native language, so please forgive the occasional mistake.)
OK. That's it. Let's go now.

School Holiday Programs 2017
What is AFL Northern Territory's School Holiday Program?
The AFL Northern Territory School Holiday Program introduces both boys and girls who are turning 5 and turning no older than 12 in the year they register to the basic skills of Australian Football.
It builds on the skills of children who have already been introduced to the game and also teaches children with limited to no experience of Australian Football to the skills of the game. NO experience is necessary; this is the perfect place to give it a try.
The program is a fun and inclusive program for boys and girls and includes skill development, fun activities, minor games and modified games. The holiday program provides a fun, exciting and safe environment for children to develop their skills whilst interacting with others.
The program is delivered by Level 1 accredited coaches, with a coaching ratio of no more than 20 participants per coach.
Holiday Programs run from 9:00am - 3:00pm.
What to bring.
All equipment and resources will be provided but participants are advised to bring warm clothing in case of cold weather.
We advise participants to wear comfortable clothing as they will be involved in physical activity during the program as they learn and further develop their skills in Australian Football.
Most people will wear a pair of football boots, as well as football socks, shorts and a jumper however if you are just starting out wear something comfortable. Why not wear your favourite AFL team Jumper?
Children should bring a drink bottle, snacks and lunch as food and drink will not be provided. Children are encouraged not to share food and drink on the day for health and safety reasons.

Parents who hoped to keep Athens' Monsignor Donovan Catholic High School open through fund-raising, getting commitments from parents to send students to the school and developing a detailed financial plan were disappointed Friday when the school's board of directors voted to uphold a decision to close its doors in June.

The "Saving Our School" group already met with the board of directors last week and returned with more details Friday in its effort to come up with a viable plan for keeping the 2-year-old school open. Parents had come up with $1.23 million in pledges and submitted a report with 56 pages of financial information, projections and plans, said Paula Cray, a parent who helped head the group.
SOS members also had a letter of support signed by teachers at the school, Cray said Friday, shortly before the group's 3 p.m. meeting with the board of directors.
In addition, the group had received commitments from most of the parents at St. Joseph Catholic School, which includes kindergarten through eighth grades, to send students to the Catholic high school if it remained open, they had said.
"We did everything we could," said Mark Christopherson, another parent who helped spearhead the effort to keep the school open. "They thought we needed to raise some more money. We didn't have much time."
SOS members planned to meet today to discuss any further possibilities for keeping the school open.
In March, the high school's board of directors announced that low enrollment and insufficient financial support would force the school to close when classes end May 27. A recent feasibility study showed the school might raise between $2 million and $2.8 million in the next phase of its capital campaign, but that wouldn't be enough to sustain the school, board members decided.
The independent Catholic school opened two years ago, and enrollment this year comprised only 41 students in two grade levels, ninth and 10th grades. About 24 students have enrolled for next year's freshman class. The school would need about 50 students in each grade to be financially healthy.
Principal Scott Fleming had said he plans to leave his position, even if the school had stayed open, because he felt the board's original decision was financially responsible.
Any other attempts to keep the school open will have to happen quickly - teachers at the school must sign contracts at other schools soon for positions during the 2005-06 school year, and students will have to enroll in other schools to be assured of seats.
