After Two Years Of Marriage, Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac Are Calling It Quits
Actress Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac are throwing in the towel on their marriage.
After two years of marriage, the couple have decided to split according to People magazine who reported the news first on Wednesday.
Johansson's rep have not replied to comment on this news.
The "Avengers" actress and the French journalist married back in December 2014 in a secret ceremony after Johansson gave birth to their daughter Rose. The last public appearance of the couple was at the Yummy Pop Grand Opening last month in Paris.
Johansson previously told People back in 2015 that some parts of her job must be overwhelming for him given that he is not part of the entertainment industry.
This is not Johansson's first marriage as she was married to actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 24, 2009 -- Generally a printed flyer is thought to be advertising information which might be very immediate. To promote a Restaurant, Night Club, Bar etc.
On the other hand a printed leaflet is perceived to be of better design or larger A5 or A4 size and give more detailed information with regards to a business or product.
Leaflets are so versatile and a hugh amount of businesses find them an essential part of their marketing. Whoever a business is trying to reach, a Leaflet inserted into newspapers, posted out, or propped up on the counter catch the eye in glorious full colour and of course is most cost effective.
Leaflets when used correctly will target your market, if the message is right, and fit for purpose. What is the message you want to put out there, what makes you different, what have you to offer, focus on your Unique Selling Point.
First impressions are lasting ones, good design of leaflets can mean the difference between success and failure. At this time of the year leaflets come into their own, advertising special sales, and seasonal promotions.
At Hannah Print full colour leaflets are their âforteâ and a spokesman for these Birmingham Printers said âwe are universally acknowledged as being the standard to which all printers imitate, based solely on our pursuit to the perfect marketing toolâ. He went on to say âwe use premium 130gsm gloss instead of cheap 130gsm leaflet paper which is more commonly usedâ. He also said âwhatever the size of business we treat all our clients with the same personal approach and this is why we are the chosen design and print provider for businesses throughout Solihull, Birmingham and the UKâ.
Leaflet advertising can be done very economically; full colour leaflets with the correct design can be very cost effective attracting the right target audience.
To businesses, advertising their products and services is still a basic necessity and something they have to cover, they will want to cover it in the most financially accessible and affordable manner possible, and this can only be through leaflets.

Extrovert for a day
Jonathan asked me to take him over to a friend's house today. Said excursion would require me to chit chat with his friend's mother (who is a very nice woman, by the way). I said no, I wanted to stay close to home for the afternoon. We discussed the concept of introverts and extroverts, and I explained that I needed some space after being around people all morning at church. Jonathan digested this, and then asked "Mommy, please be an extrovert, just for today?"

Boyken International, along with the City of Savannah, Walker Parking Consultants, Poticny/Deering/Felder, P.C., and Archer Western Contractors were recently recognized for the design of the Liberty Street Parking Garage located in Savannah's Historic District.
The team won first place in the category for "Best Design of a Parking Facility with Less Than 800 Spaces." The award was presented at the 2006 International Parking Awards held at the Mandalay Bay Resort Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Judging criteria consisted of usage flexibility and optimization, security, revenue collection systems, pedestrian flow, vehicle flow, entry/exit configuration, landscaping, internal lighting and exterior appearance.
The team was challenged to meet an immediate need for parking while conserving the architectural heritage of the area. The exterior of the structure was designed to look more like a series of row houses than one large building.
"The only complaint we have heard from the City of Savannah is that people don't know it is a parking garage," said Bob Poticny, of Poticny/Deering/Felder.
"We take that as a compliment."

I've been receiving many requests to feature their film sites, and I pretty much support anyone with a passion for the art of filmmaking.
But the one nearest and dearest to my heart is independentfeatures.com, created and ran by independent filmmakers. They say:
Independent Features was created by two independent filmmakers who learned first hand how hard it is to find an independent film an audience. After completing their first independent feature seven years ago, they ran into the same predicament most independent filmmakers find themselves in. They had doors shut on them left and right without their film ever being viewed. After years of working outside of the film industry they talked about giving it another shot, they always loved the independent film industry. Instead of producing another film they decided to go another direction, they created a platform that will give independent filmmakers the global audience they deserve.
They also have an ongoing film festival right now! Read More...

In Iron Man, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), trying to dispel rumors that he is the mysterious Iron Man, reveals, Im not a superhero type because of my long laundry list of character defects. Stark could have been talking about Robert Downey Jr., the actor.
Lets face it; Downey could have had the same type of career Johnny Depp is enjoying. Both actors effectively shine in risky roles. But Downey suffered much-publicized personal demons which greatly affected his profession. With Iron Man, mark my words, Downeys career will take off, supersonically. Read More...

The Evolution of Cassette Culture
Those of us old enough to have grown up with cassette tapes have fond memories of recording bootleg albums, taping our favourite radio shows, or churning out mixtapes. Jacob Waite retraces the history of the cassette and discovers how the platform has evolved…
It is well-documented that a serious bout of insomnia contributed to the introduction of tape recording by Californian audio and video engineer, John T. "Jack" Mullin. Tapes have recently celebrated their seventieth birthday. However, like many music platforms, cassette tapes are not designed without their faults. Vinyl often keeps you on your toes, and constantly engaged with the record, so much that you have to regularly switch sides (especially with 7"s). CDs, in comparison, are also relatively flimsy and can easily be scratched. However, some cassette tape enthusiasts may remember the devastating moment when the tape you are gleefully bopping along to suddenly grinds to an unforgiving halt.
You frantically thump the eject button in an attempt to expose the chewed cassette, only to wrestle with the machine, which has a firm grasp on your tape. It often requires a pencil (or any other relatively slender shaped object) to set the tape free. Once it is loose, you are left with the unforgiving task of untying knots and meticulously ironing creases from the tape — which, after all of the rigmarole and intrinsic repairing, never quite plays like it used to.
With this in-mind, as a music enthusiast and a self-confessed cassette tape virgin, it came as a huge surprise to me when the BBC reported that cassette tapes were rumoured to be making an 'unexpected comeback' in 2016. I did some digging and discovered that cassette tape sales were increasing so dramatically that The Recording Industry Association of America were now looking for ways to track official sales — with underground musicians' cassette releases thought to be partly responsible for the so-called re-emergence of cassette tapes.
Using SurveyMonkey, an online survey development website, I asked 60 of my music-obsessed Facebook friends, whether they had listened to cassette tapes during their lifetime — surprisingly, (perhaps due to my lack of knowledge of cassettes), 50 of them (83.33%) said yes, while 10 people (29.17%) said no.
I also asked them whether they currently listened to cassette tapes — 1 of my friends said yes, to which the other 98.33% said no. In addition, I asked if cassette tapes were to become as accessible as other music formats. For example, CD, digital downloads, or vinyl, would they regularly listen to them — 34 people (56.67%) said yes, whereas the other 26 (43.33%) politely disagreed.
Despite a small percentage of my Facebook friends being unaccountable for an accurate representation of a universal world-view on cassette tapes, it certainly raised some unanswered questions, those of which I was able to direct at Daniel Bashin, the co-founder and art director of cassette label, Dirty Tapes.
"I drove out to Cleveland to meet Chris Delofi, and we just started brainstorming together and came up with our aesthetic to drive the label — a culmination of our analog photography juxtaposed with the dirty, straight-to-cassette production that we were experimenting with."
The founding fathers of the cassette label met in 2009 through Cleveland Tapes, a music label run by Ra Washington. Three years later, the Dirty Tapes label was born, providing a platform to 'break out unknown artists' and bring underground musicians and artists into the spotlight, without the 'unnecessary hype' or 'pressures' of a traditional music label.
"Tapes and cassette culture has always been an aesthetic and inspirational medium and drive for our brand. Besides the actual physical process of tracking out music to cassette tape as a production process… it is a devotional and an ethereal method in which you actually have to respect the music process. It makes you respect the sound a lot more, you actually have to pay attention to things way more carefully when you're recording, taking the time to rewind — listen back and be mindful of your levels."
Daniel expresses that tape recording is a 'very meticulous process' and one that 'forces you to be more attentive to the sound'. I was told cassette tapes have a defining mastering quality, which adds to the distortion, warmth, and depth of noise and DIY musicians, which I am assured 'you simply cannot get from today's digital methods'.
By 2013, Dirty Tapes released the Dink / Tuamie split tape, and the Dil Withers / Ohbliv tape, solidifying its status as a heavy-hitter in the larger sphere of the 'music world'. After the two defining projects, the label witnessed a huge movement of artists 'pushing their projects onto the cassette format' which they believe was 'completely unprecedented'.
"In no means were we the first label to push cassettes, but around that time we started in 2012, it was a huge risk to invest in tapes and put out no-name artists. The risk paid off, and now cassettes are the number one platform for the larger underground scene. This can also be seen in recent as Stones Throw, a label known for traditionally vinyl teaming up with Leaving Records and promoting a lot of their new releases as cassette-only."
The collective convey that they are no longer 'phased' by the recent shift in popularity of cassette tapes, instead they 'welcome' its re-emergence as a music platform which binds its users with underground musicians.
Dirty Tapes primary intention is to continually host live events, which 'expose more amazing artists' in the underground scene. The label often represents musicians by meticulously documenting their artistic journey through the 'curation and preservation of the analog aesthetic, tapes and dirt'. The collective express their desire to release music on vinyl and VHS in the future, pushing artistry to 'new levels' and present music in interesting ways.
Hielko Meijer, an avid cassette collector, believes there is a 'small digital market', popular among underground circles. He voices his disdain for the 'lack of physical media' in today's digital era.
"Personally I think [digital media] is crap, the sound quality is bad and I hate not having the physical copy in my hands. I truly believe that nothing can touch the analog sound of tape and vinyl."
Growing up in the Netherlands, Hielko's father had a 'simple Grundig top-loader'. He later purchased his first cassette deck, a Philips N2521, as a paperboy at the age of 16. In his younger years, Hielko began repairing cassette decks and tapes for friends, which gradually transformed from a childhood hobby into a finely-honed craft.
"I have been collecting audio all of my life, from 8 track to open-reel, and especially Luxman vintage audio products. I currently own about one hundred cassette decks. I also repair decks from all over the world… And now and then I sell one."
In addition to fixing and collecting cassettes, Hielko is the founder of 'Vintage Cassette Decks' a popular online cassette deck collectors' circle, which offers individuals who relish their DCC, elcaset or compact cassette decks a place to share their passion with other like-minded enthusiasts.
The closed Facebook group was founded over a year ago with the aim of making good friends and sharing knowledge with fellow cassette enthusiasts. Hielko informs me the group's mantra is to 'keep the decks alive', regular members of the group often share photos of their cassette decks and invite intelligent discussion.
I began to wonder whether cassettes were becoming a part of the recent increase in the popularity of vinyl. Hielko, however, assures me that cassettes are not yet 'as big as vinyl'.
"Cassettes are getting more and more like vinyl. The lack of physical media is apparent and most certainly needed for people to own, and have in your hands. Vinyl and tape belong to each other. You must remember, back in the day, there was no alternative… the [Sony] Walkman had no competition…it is still is a bit niche, but lot of people never gave up on [cassette] tapes, prices on old sealed stock are ridiculous, they are selling for up to one-hundred pounds for a single blank tape."
Although portable digital recorders are becoming increasingly popular, analog tape remains a desirable option for musicians and consumers. Music genres such as Swedish 'dansband' favour the use of cassette tapes as a primary music format. Most independent DJ and musician circles maintain the tradition of using and releasing their material on cassettes due to its low cost and ease of use. Underground and DIY music communities regularly release music on cassette tapes, particularly in experimental music circles, and to a lesser extent in metal and hardcore music circles, where its popularity is born from a clear fondness of the format.
Founded in 2013 by British cassette labels Kissability, Suplex Cassettes and Sexbeat, Cassette Store Day is quickly developing into an essential event for international tape enthusiasts. Unlike Record Store Day, the day is less about supporting local shops, but and more about celebrating the cassette tape format.
Last year, Burger Records were at the helm of the third annual event's North American activities, with the collective partnered with the Australian label Rice is Nice, New Zealand's Arch Hill label, and German-based label Mansions and Millions and Späti Palace.
Popular British supermarket stores, Sainsbury's and Tesco are among retailers who announced they would begin selling vinyl in 2016 for the first time in their combined 244 year history. However, the sale of cassette tapes in UK high street shops, from my knowledge, are virtually non-existent.
Nevertheless, I perused the high streets of Liverpool, Birkenhead, Preston, and Manchester to find cassette tapes. I was astonished to find that tapes are more than accessible, despite being hidden in crates of record stores and tossed carelessly onto shelves of second-hand shops (as seen below).
After the sale of vinyl albums almost tripled in 2015, UK high street retailer HMV began stocking vinyl in all of its stores for the first time since the 1990s. I contacted the company's customer service desk to ask them whether they have considered restocking cassettes, since 'phasing them out' across all branches in 2003. Unfortunately, due to their 'many commercial commitments' I was informed that HMV were not in a position to provide a representative to comment on their past and future stocking of cassette tapes. However, Jason from the customer service desk was more than willing to provide his professional opinion…
During 2016, popular mainstream figures in the music industry, such as Lana Del Rey, Justin Bieber, and Kanye West, were among the DIY and underground musicians involved in the release of music on cassette tapes. However, despite the increasing popularity of the nostalgic music platform, the surprising artistic value of cassettes, like vinyl, have allowed artists to utilise music platforms in their artwork.
Borea 'Domingo' Domenico, otherwise known in the art world as DomingoArt, has been creating art with music for over a year, and told me that he regularly makes use of cassette tapes in his artwork.
"I began creating art with cassette tapes for four or five months ago… I usually design my musical heroes. I reproduce singers who have curly hair, to utilise the cassette tape for their hair."
Domingo often draws portraits of musicians past and present and has created artworks, including famous faces such as Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy bass guitarist and vocalist Phil Lynott, and Slash using old household cassette tapes and spray paint.
The man behind the art currently resides in quaint Montecchio Emilia, a comune in the Province of Reggio Emilia. However, he spent most of his life growing up in Turin, the capital city of Piedmont in northern Italy.
"When I was growing up, I used to listen to cassette tapes quite regularly, although now I prefer to listen to other music platforms, like CDs or vinyl… I have always enjoyed creating new forms of art, I often use various techniques with pen, pencil, spray-paint and much more."
I yearned to understand the popularity of cassette tapes, given my age, I was led to believe the 'golden age' of tapes were over, yet, on my journey I spoke to record labels, collectors, and those who make art — and they all have something in common — a shared interest in a plastic rectangle, which once played, engages those around them in a positive way. Therefore, I grabbed a CD and cassette player from the British Heart Foundation furniture shop in Birkenhead, Merseyside and borrowed some tapes from a fellow cassette enthusiast to see what the fuss was about…
After the experience I felt I was truly able to understand the nature of the cassette. Whether the re-emergence of the cassette tape is just an unprecedented anomaly or a progressive trend, there is no denying that the nostalgic music platform wields enough influence to its users to linger for at least a dozen more decades. Still, those who I have spoken to on my journey of self-cassette discovery, partnered with the knowledge that more music labels are being established on a regular basis across all corners of the globe, has opened my eyes to a traditional way of consuming music — a physical and tangible piece of art, stored in plastic and tape.
Cassette tapes have been a constant in the world of music, while not consistent in their popularity among high street retailers and their consumers. Tapes allowed prior generations, and current underground circles the ability to buy new releases at an affordable price. More importantly, they allowed friendships to grow and develop through the love of music, whether that was through similar music tastes or by trading blank tapes filled with unheralded gems or poorly-recorded mixtapes and expeditions into music.
The increasing engagement of independent music labels on Cassette Store Day suggests that the platform has evolved and will remain prevalent to some degree in our 'digital age', regardless of its critics. In spite of the fact that it is almost impossible to regulate cassette tape sales, despite efforts by The Recording Industry Association of America. Tapes are very rarely tracked with a bar-code, and are often self-produced by underground musicians and DIY labels - which sell directly to consumers online or fans at gigs. My research, however, points to an engaged niche audience that is growing into a progressive sub-culture, hidden by the success of the media-dubbed 'vinyl revival'. Cassette tapes make as much sense now, economically, as they do musically, in a twenty-first century ravaged with poverty and artistry at every corner.

Sunday, 23rd May 2010
After returning from the great "Kantajew Mandir", I have dropped at the village "Gopalganj" from the bus to visit the "Twin Temple". That is an old temple, and almost in ruins. No one is taking any care of the temple.
If you ask local people about Twin temple, they will not respond, case they don't know the temple by your name. You have to ask the name as "Jora Mondir", which is the Bengali version of "twin temple". After that only people can guide you.
If you take any rickshaw from the bus stoppage, that will be better for you. Cause its a fair amount of distance from the stoppage. But I have went there by feet, and believe me, I didn't enjoy the walking. Two reasons, one was hot sun, and another was the dirty road, lower class people used to live there.
But somehow, finally I have reached near at the temple after asking lots of local people. Inside the village, you'll find two temples having 100 meters distance. The vicinity area of the temples are acquired by the local people, and they have build their own houses around the temple.
Both the temples are in moribund state, but both of those have stairs to take you at the top of the Mandir. Stairs are between a narrow path, and no light. Also the steps of the stair are almost leveled, so it was hard to get at the top. Also I was a bit nervous, for the darkness, and for the rough condition of the Temple.
Somehow I have reached at the second floor, and there was another at the third. But I didn't show any courage to reach at the top floor. From the second floor, you can easily see the other temple which is just 100 meters away from this one. Between the two temples, it has only green bamboo trees.
Inside the temple, it was a bit cool, and the green bamboo field gave a bewitching view. I have rested there for several minutes, and then get down from that, and moved for the other temple. I didn't ride the second temple.

In case you haven't heard, Brian Williams the anchor of NBC's Nightly News, has admitted that a story he told about being in a helicopter in Iraq that was shot down was false. There are also reports of him embellishing another story about Hurricane Katrina.
After reading opinions that NBC has a problem, and that he should be fired, I tried to figure out what I thought about the situation.
The truth is, I've lied before
I don't like to admit it. I may even claim that I got caught up in the excitement, or that I was just stretching a fish tale. The truth is that I've not always been perfect, and I have screwed up badly. Lucky for me, my screw ups have not happened on national television…yet.
I don't like rooting for someone to lose their job
I do not want anyone to lose their job. It is really hard for me to call on someone to be fired. That is probably because I have been fired before and it really stinks. I am sure he has more money than me, and would probably be okay. But still the very act of being fired is so demoralizing and deflating that unless it's absolutely necessary it should be hard to root for.
I wish him Peace
Any time I've ever done anything embarrassing, it stays with me for years. I may be in bed getting ready to sleep and suddenly something I did 15 years ago will pop in my head, and then it's an hour of tossing and turning. So I honestly hope that Mr. Williams gets peace. Most people usually are not as bad as the worst thing they've ever done.

Reasoning is one of the most important sections of the Competitive Exams. Most of the candidates face problem in this section as they find it difficult to finish the section on time. Problem of accuracy is also there, as during the course of exam, candidates find it difficult to understand whether the answer they have selected is right or wrong.
The problem of accuracy is more in questions which are based on statements, judgmental type of questions, questions based on inferences, assumption based questions etc. These questions appear a bit confusing and also consist of major chunk of the questions. Here are the topics of Reasoning, we tried out best to make them readable. Just Pick one topic per day and Practice Well.

This is, quite simply, the simplest Chinese-style roast duck you will ever make. The skin is crisp and golden; the flesh moist and fall-apart. It's heaven. And you only need two ingredients! (Although you will need both a slow cooker and a conventional oven).
Serve the restaurant way with Chinese pancakes and sliced cucumbers, spring onions and hoi sin sauce; or fry up some stove-top potatoes with whole garlic cloves, softened to puree, with Tenderstem broccoli tossed with hoi sin and sweet chilli sauces.
Serves 4
1 whole duck (I used Barbary – also called Muscovy – because of its high fat content)
2 tbsp Peking Duck Sauce (I used the Lee Kum Kee brand)
And that's all!
1. With a sharp knife, trim off an excess lumps of fat from the duck, and snip off the tips of the wings. With a very sharp knife, cross-cross the skin all over, cutting through the fat, but not as far as the flesh. This will allow all the fat to melt and run off into the slow cooker to give you that famous crispy-skin finish. With a pastry brush, brush the Peking Duck Sauce all over the skin.
2. Put in a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours until the meat is falling off the bone.
3. Pre-heat the oven to 180C and when the slow cooker time is up, very carefully transfer the duck to a roasting tin. Pull away the legs from the crown and lay them alongside in the tin.
4. Put the roasting tin in the oven and cook for 20 mins to crisp up the skin, taking care it doesn't burn.
5. Serve with anything that takes your fancy.
• Transfer the fat and cooking juices from the slow cooker to a bowl and put in the fridge. When the fat is hardened, scoop it off and store in a jar and use to make amazing roast potatoes. This will leave you with a jelly-like stock which makes a fantastic gravy base.

Oakland-born singer Jennifer Johns has a penchant for funneling myriad influences into her music. Her sophomore album, Painting on Wax, is an ambitious stab at soul, hip-hop, dancehall, calypso, and industrial, among other styles. Johns is an excellent vocalist, and the album's production runs from solid to top-notch. The talent is there; it's the execution that occasionally needs improvement.
The album begins unevenly. The title track is Johns' interpretation of a mid-'80s hip-hop single, complete with Too $hort-esque thump and atmospheric DJ scratches of vocals and electric guitar stabs, but her attempts at rapping and dancehall chatting come off as stilted. Painting's dancefloor anthems like "Move wit It" and "Get Up" don't distinguish themselves from other local club joints. And the innuendo-laden "Goody-Goody Gum Drops" and "Nasty" feel uncomfortably forced.
However, Painting on Wax finds a good rhythm about midway through. The spare, Caribbean– and Middle Eastern–influenced "Let the Drum Moan" has an infectious groove. "Like You" is a melancholy R&B track with layered vocals and meandering jazz guitar. "Chasing the Sun" and "Golden Eye," which sport heavy Asian and African influences, sound truly inspirational with Johns' soulful singing behind them. And after earlier missteps, dancehall-influenced hip-hop like "Ghetto International" (a posse cut featuring Zion and Gift of Gab, among others) and "All Love for the DJ" end the album on a high note. While all the tracks on Painting on Wax don't always hit their mark, the half that do are worth a listen.

Tips to Help you Win Study Abroad Scholarships
1. One scholarship, one application. Avoid the temptation to mass-apply for multiple scholarships. You need to create individualized, unique cover letters for each and every scholarship that you apply for. Sure, you can reuse certain content or rearrange your resume in similar ways, but in general, make sure your application is unique each and every time.
2. Describe your life after study abroad. Many students fail to recognize their semester or summer of studying abroad as a smaller piece to their life puzzle; however, life will go on after you return. How do you anticipate being different? How do you plan to incorporate the lessons you learn while abroad onto your university campus or into your life in your home communities? Educators geek out over students that are willing to discuss bigger picture connections.
3. Connect it to your heritage. If you are going to a region or continent that is linked to your family history, why not use your study abroad experience as a way to get better acquainted with your second, third, and fourth cousins? These experiences are once-in-a-lifetime and add unique depth to your overall time abroad.
4. You don't have to be a pro-athlete or star of the decathlon team. Let's be honest: study abroad scholarship judges were probably not the end-all, be-all of their college campuses. Average joe's are welcome. The key is to highlight your best qualities and demonstrate your passion for cross cultural interactions.
5. Apply for multiple scholarships. It may be hard to stomach, but don't count on a single application to score a fully funded study abroad program. Apply early, and apply often. The more times you throw your name into the ringer, the more likely you are to score a sweet, sweet study abroad scholarship.
Hope this helps.
Please share some other scholarships you know so that we can add them and also about your experience... Goodluck with your application guys!

Walt Disney Treasures - The Complete Goofy Trailer (2002)
"His Greatest Misadventures" 03 December 2002 Animated, Family 326 mins
This generous collection includes 46 of the 48 shorts that starred Goofy between 1939 and 1961 (but none of the great Mickey-Donald-Goofy films from the mid-'30s). The "How to Ride a Horse" sequence in The Reluctant Dragon (1941) set the pattern for many of these cartoons. An elegant narrator (artist John Ployardt) explains a sport that Goofy attempts to demonstrate. The character that animator Art Babbitt described in a 1935 lecture (quoted in the DVD bonus material) as an easygoing dimbulb gave way to an enthusiastic but spectacularly maladroit figure. One of the funniest entries in the series, "Hockey Homicide," contains several studio in-jokes: dueling stars Icebox Bertino and Fearless Ferguson, and referee Clean-Game Kinney are named for artists Al Bertino, Norm Ferguson, and director Jack Kinney.

text: NOVEMBER 2016 | SportsUnion From Page 37 Tianna Hatch (Endicott/Elmira Free Academy) – Women's Soccer When Tianna Hatch scored in the 99th percentile on the Armed Forces Vocational Battery (ASVAB) during her senior year of high school, military recruiters started lining up to see her at Elmira Free Academy. At the same time, college soccer coaches were also calling, and Hatch knew she wanted to find a way to use all of her talents. After consultation with her uncle, a recently retired command sergeant major, Hatch decided to follow in his footsteps, and determined the Army National Guard 31 Bravo military police was the proper fit. She enlisted on February 20, 2014, and was off to basic training for eight weeks in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. "I was able to graduate early and had to miss my formal high school graduation for basic training," Hatch said. "It was tough not being able to walk with my friends, but the school held a special small ceremony for me, so it was nice." Her next major decision was to figure out the best college fit for her to be able to balance her military commitments with schooling, knowing that she also still wanted to play soccer as well. "I could not imagine being done playing competitive soccer," Hatch said. "I love the feeling I get playing. It's actually very similar to the feeling I get serving in the military with the comradery and idea of working together under a common symbol." Hatch found Buffalo State to be the best place for her. The women's soccer program was on the ascent toward the top of the SUNYAC, and its location has allowed her to serve the military with an uncommon simultane- ous contract. Hatch fulfills her National Guard commitment with one weekend per month of training at the Masten Avenue Armory, but is also a member of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), cross-registered through Canisius College where she takes daily classes in mock leadership and field training. On the soccer field, Hatch helped lead Buffalo State to its best season in school history with an overall record of 15-4-1 as it made its second-ever appearance in the SUNYAC Championship game. Hatch tied for second on the team with seven goals in 18 games, while having to miss the final weekend of the regular season because of her commitments to the Army. Hatch has also been excelling in the classroom, on pace to graduate a year early with a bachelor's degree in sociology and plans to remain at Buffalo State in pursuit of her master's. She is currently in the second of a six-year active c ommitment in the National Guard, followed by two years in the reserve draft, but has aspirations to reenlist as well as pursue a career in CIA foreign affairs. "It is a challenge to juggle everything, but I also think it has been a realistic plan," Hatch said. "I feel all of these experiences are just better preparing me for the world." Chrissy Rennard (Brockport/ Brockport) – Softball Chrissy Rennard enlisted in the United States Army Reserves in March of her senior year of high school, and two weeks after receiving her diploma from Brockport High School in June 2011, she was off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma for basic training. "The military was always something that interested me," said Rennard. "My grandfather, my brother and sister and my uncles had all served and it was something that seemed right for me." After basic training, Rennard continued with a six-month advanced training program to become an Army medic. After a year committed fully to Army training, Rennard began her collegiate career studying and playing softball at Monroe Community College in the Fall of 2012. After one year with the Tribunes, she transferred to Buffalo State where in two seasons the outfielder has posted a .273 batting average with six doubles, a home run and 20 RBIs. In addition to balancing a busy schedule of college life and athletics, Rennard continues to serve her country, committing one weekend per month with the 865th Combat Support Hospital that drills out of the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Base. During this past summer, she also enrolled in a three-week Warrior Leadership Course in Fort Dix, New Jersey in an attempt to position herself for a promotion. "Coach (Marie) Curran has been great allowing me the flexibility to fulfill my responsibilities with the Army while still having the opportunity to play softball," Rennard said. Rennard's commitment to the Army will expire in March, 2017 and she is slated to complete her bachelor's degree in health and wellness, but she is keeping her options open for what's next. "After graduation I want to be able to travel and possibly teach English in a foreign country," Rennard said. "Long term, I want to go to graduate school to pursue a career in the health field to do something with children, but reenlisting in the Army is still an option." Felipe Yanez (Corona/Forest Hills) – Cross Country/Track & Field When Felipe Yanez was born in Chile in 1994, it was more than a long shot that he would find his way to the United States Army 20 years later. When Yanez was 8 years old, his father, a second generation Chilean Marine, moved to the United States for employment in Corona, N.Y. Seven years later in 2009, while visiting, Felipe accepted an invitation to stay and live with his father and attend high school in the United States. After graduating from Forest Hills High School in 2013, Yanez was driven to pursue a career in 39 the medical field. He enrolled at Buffalo State the ensuing fall as a dual major in biology and psychology with a minor in chemistry, and during his freshman year made an immediate impact on campus. He performed well in the classroom, and was a standout in cross country and track. During his rookie indoor track campaign, Yanez captured the SUNYAC Championship in the 800-meter run and ran a leg of the winning distance medley relay that clinched Buffalo State's second-ever men's SUNYAC indoor team championship. Following an extremely productive freshman year, however, Yanez believed he was capable of more and chose to follow in his family lineage of military service and enlist in the United States Army Reserves. After basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, Yanez hoped to pursue advanced training in nursing, but learned he was color blind which precluded him from entering the program. Instead he chose to become a mechanic and completed advanced training at Fort Lee, Virginia, missing the Fall 2014 semester. "I guess you could say instead of fixing people, I chose to fix cars," Yanez said. "I'm like a nurse of the wheels." Yanez returned to Buffalo State last spring, but did not compete in track and field as he did not feel prepared for the commitment of the season after the time away. Now, Yanez has mastered his schedule, balancing a dual major, plus his monthly commitment with the Army at the Niagara Falls Airforce Base, and has returned to competing with the Bengals' cross country and track and field teams with his eyes set firmly on another goal. "I want to break 1:50 in the 800 and qualify for the Chilean Sub-23 National Team," Yanez said. Following graduation in Fall 2018, Yanez plans to attend medical school to study neuroscience. He also aspires to commission as a captain and serve additional time in the Army following his current six-year commitment. "The Army has given me goals," Yanez said. "I am more responsible and am a better leader. I have been able to extrapolate from the Seven Army Values and apply them in my everyday life."

AICC Press Statement on Orissa violence against rural Christians
Expand Messages
- All India Christian Council
Plot No. 142, Telecom Colony, Kanajiguda, Secunderabad - 500 015,AP, INDIA
Tel +91-40-27862786, 27868907
For immediate release
Indian Christians unite with Civil Society and demand end of Orissa violence against rural Christians
Today's rally in Delhi results in promises from National Commissionfor Minorities and Union Home Minister, but Christian delegation not satisfied
NEW DELHI � Dec. 27, 2007 � About 1,000 Christians from churches across Delhi rallied today to demand that the Central Government halt escalating anti-Christian violence in Orissa. A memo presented to the Prime Minister resulted in a meeting with the Union Home Minister this evening. Earlier in the day, Christian leaders met with the head of the National Commission for Minorities.
The rally, held in front of the gates of Orissa Bhavan in Delhi from4�6pm, Dec. 27, 2007, revealed support from across the political and religious spectrum. Protestors were united in their call for an end to the communal violence against Christians in Orissa. The All India Christian Council (aicc) was a key organiser of the rally.
Speakers included: V.P. Singh, former Prime Minister; Binda Karat,CPI(M) spokesperson; Shabnam Hashmi, Director of ANHAD; Swami Agnivesh; and more. India's largest Christian groups wererepresented including the Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI), AllIndia Catholic Union (AICU), Catholic Bishops' Conference of India(CBCI) and more. Church members from many denominations across Delhi participated in the rally.
A memo was presented to the office of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. The PM's office instructed the Union Home Minister, Shivraj V. Patil, to schedule a meeting with a delegation of Christians immediately. The delegation met Shri Patil at 6pm, Dec. 27, 2007, and was told that roadblocks and communication breakdowns are making it difficult to restore security in the villages of Orissa. Shri Patil said he will likely visit Orissa and promised he is doing everything possible to stop the attacks, culprits will be booked, and compensation will be provided to victims.
"Sadly, the delegation was not satisfied with the promises of theUnion Home Minister since most violence continues in rural villagesand the government didn't give specific plans to halt the violencein villages nor a planned amount for compensation of victims," said Rev. Abraham Sahu, aicc Delhi Chapter President.
Earlier in the day a delegation of Christians met with and receivedassurances from the head of the National Commission for Minorities, Mohamed Shafi Qureshi, that Christians will be protected in Orissa. He said he plans to visit the state.
"It is clear that the local police and Orissa state government havenot been able to protect the Christian minority. While Orissa'sleader claim they were prepared and are fully committed to stopping communal violence, we have doubts. For example, why does Orissa not have a state minorities commission? The Central Government must act now." said John Dayal, aicc Secretary-General.
"The VHP and other groups clearly don't believe in freedom ofreligion nor freedom of speech. They use accusations of forced and fraudulent conversions as an excuse for violence. Has there been a proven case in the courts of a missionary forcing someone to become a Christian recently? No! We are requesting immediate action to protect peaceful Christians and the arrest of miscreants from radical Hindutva groups," said Sam Paul, aicc Secretary of Public Affairs.
Orissa chapter of All India Christian Council met Cheif MinisterNeevan Patnaik this evening and gave lame assurance to thedelegation to ensure protection to the Christian minorities. Yet,his inability to stop the violence against Christians is seen inSangh Parivar's organised attacks from the time violence broke out on December 23.
According to media reports, NGO press statements, and calls fromaicc leaders on the ground in Orissa, at least 30 churches,Christian schools, and convents have been damaged or destroyed since December 24th, Christmas Eve. Four Christians were reported killed and many roads are blocked by radical Hindutva activists which prevents both police and fact finding teams from reaching victims.
Despite a supposed helicopter tour of the affected districts by the Orissa Chief Minister, Naveen Patnaik, and his repeated statements in various media channels that everything is under control, reports of attacks on Christians and churches continue to reach aicc and similar groups.
The violence allegedly began when Christians in a village 150 kmsfrom the district headquarters of Phulbani began to celebrateChristmas Eve. Local Hindu fundamentalists opposed the event and a fight ensued. Also, a Hindutva leader, Swami Saraswati, was attacked by unknown assailants -- allegedly Christians -- near Daringbadi while he was travelling. The next day the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) called for a strike and its members began attacking Christians across the state.
The All India Christian Council (www.aiccindia.org), birthed in1998, exists to protect and serve the Christian community,minorities, and the oppressed castes. The aicc is a coalition ofthousands of Indian denominations, organizations, and lay leaders.

Book: "Dying for a Diamond"
Author: Cindy Sample
Publisher: Cindy Sample, published February 2017, paperback and e-book versions, 242 pages
"I, Laurel McKay, have very simple needs and make only one request for my upcoming nuptials and honeymoon. No dead bodies." — "Dying for a Diamond"
If you are familiar with Cindy Sample's Laurel McKay mystery series, you know that's just not going to happen. At last, El Dorado Hills soccer mom Laurel McKay and the detective of her dreams Tom Hunter become man and wife. But romance on their Caribbean cruise honeymoon has to be squeezed in between murders, jewelry thefts, the unexpected appearance of Laurel's adult family members, Laurel's unstoppable sleuthing and all that cruise food.
In her previous exploits Laurel tangled with murderous dates ("Dying for a Date"), dance-offs that go very wrong ("Dying for a Dance"), homicides in Hawaii ("Dying for a Daiquiri"), Gold Rush skeletons ("Dying for a Dude") and death in a pastry shack ("Dying for a Doughnut").
In "Diamond," Sample's sixth action-packed, comic mystery, readers are whisked out of El Dorado County and onto the open sea where obnoxious passengers, feisty relatives and backstage quarrels abound. The Caribbean may never recover.
Real experiences
El Dorado Hills author Sample believes in writing about the things we know. Personally taste-testing the doughnuts at an Apple Hill member ranch, drinking daiquiris in Hawaii, taking dance lessons, joining an online dating service, riding with the Highway 50 Wagon Train and going on Caribbean cruises are just part of her meticulous research. Adding a little bling to the mix is just a part of the job.
"'Dying for a Doughnut' was the most dangerous book for me — I gained 8 pounds tasting those pastries," said Sample.
With six books under her belt you'd think that writing would be a breeze but Sample says not.
"It's harder because now I have more fans and I want to make sure they're happy with what I write," Sample said. "This ('Diamond') was the most difficult book to write, so far. I went on a cruise last January and was already plotting the book but it's a lot easier to write when the book happens in Apple Hill than it is in the Caribbean."
Where on a cruise ship is the best place to hide the bodies? Sample had help from many of her fans, one of whom she met while on a cruise.
"I'm a total pantser (flying by the seat of her pants) and so I'm just as interested to see how things end up as the readers," said Sample. "It's frustrating sometimes but exhilarating, too."
Sample is already plotting her seventh book based on a title her mother gave her — "Dying for a Deal," that will return Laurel to El Dorado County and an eighth book is in the works as well.
"My brain is always spinning," she added.
Catch Cindy Sample at her book launch for "Dying for a Diamond" at Face in a Book, 4359 Town Center Blvd. in El Dorado Hills, on Sunday, Feb. 19 from 1-4 p.m. She will also be making a presentation at the El Dorado Hills Senior Center at 1 p.m. on Feb. 21. For more information about upcoming presentations and books, visit the website at cindysamplebooks.com.
"Dying for a Diamond" is available in e-book version at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Kobo, IndieBound and the iTunes store. The print version is available locally at Face in a Book in El Dorado Hills and the Placerville News Company in Placerville.

We're fortunate to have Juan Leon as part of our talented team of DJs and these are his suggestions for cocktails/dinner and reception music with a little spice - Juan is 100% bilingual, which definitely makes it easier for our Spanish-speaking couples! We hope you'll get some use out of his suggestions for slower-tempo songs that work great for cocktails or dinner and the higher energy tracks that will definitely keep your dance floor packed.
