Rove sidekick Peter Helliar's debut film is out today and whoever cut the trailer has seriously let the side down.
Actually scratch that… there are two possibilities here. Whoever cut the trailer either A) didn't know what they were doing or B) didn't have much to work with.
Helliar's film, I Love You Too, is an Australian-set romantic comedy templated on glossy US romantic comedies. All the moving parts are there: the goofball best friend (Helliar), the unobtainable beauty (Megan Gale) and a novel challenge for the central couple to overcome – he can't say 'I love you'.
However, what US romantic comedies usually have that I Love You Too definitely does not is a trailer with some working gags in it.Something, anything - a cute situation, a snappy comeback - that you might file away and repeat to a friend or work colleague.
But no, the just over two-and-a-half-minute promo is 100 per cent laugh-free and fails utterly to sell the film. Sure the rhythm's right: you can spot that Helliar's movie (he also wrote the screenplay) is a lighthearted romantic jape with attractive stars. But you just can't spot any humour.
There's even a poppy Michael Franti number on the soundtrack (with the phrase 'I love you' handily repeated), but that's just the problem, the trailer's got the form without the content… and content remains king.
If Rove Live was still airing, Helliar would have a weekly platform to spruik his movie from, but without that airtime he and the film need a razor-sharp advertisement.
Star Brendan Cowell, a very capable screen actor whose World War I drama Beneath Hill 60 will be in cinemas concurrently with I Love You Too, doesn't sell tickets.
The potential audience for ILYT doesn't care how hard he nailed it in 2007's slow-burn cop thriller Noise, comfortably one of the finest two or three Australian films of the past decade. They just want good jokes, a bit of smooch and a decent yarn.
Content is what will get punters through the door.
And wouldn't you know it, ILYT's crummy trailer comes along just when Australia's film industry could use a bit of salesmanship. After years of introspection there's a renewed focus on 'audience pictures', tall tales and films that will stand up at the box-office.
Hill 60, a Wog Boy sequel, the 3D cave diving thriller Sanctum and the shark attack shocker Bait, also in 3D, are just a few of the new batch out to shake off the local industry's stigma of dreary.
At the Logies, Today's Lisa Wilkinson told Helliar that his movie made her cry (and laugh!) so who knows, I Love You Too could be another Kenny or even The Castle.
But word of mouth won't spread if you don't get numbers through the door early to talk things up.
Most commented
Phil says:
Sorry Sam I laughed in the Trailer, especially the last line. Maybe review the whole movie not just the trailer?
Bon says:
I saw the trailer last night, it was enough to convince me that this is movie I would like to see
ChelseaLee says:
Yeah, sorry Sam, but both my husband and I saw the trailer, laughed and immediately said, 'I want to see that!'.
If the trailer was made in the way that you describe, there would be a different group of people who would find it equally as ill-fitting. Nothing is going to please everybody… ever.
Tails says:
Come on mate, there's a fart joke and comedic man of small stature. What else could you want?
DaveC says:
"Content is what will get punters through the door."
Maybe it's time you took your own advice Sam - four people who disagree and an untold expanse of people who don't care.
Bit harsh perhaps, but hey, since you're dishing it out…
dancan says:
On the flip side. Those US romantic comedies usually show ALL the funny parts in the trailer to try and sucker people to see the movie only to be dissapointed
Benrama says:
I think this article was less about the quality of the fil-um and more in regards to the trailer as a piece of advertising. Will this get us off our tractors and lead us to part with our hard earned punk rock dollars? I think these kinds of fil-ums really require a "star" power to get the target audience in the doors and wouldn't matter if the trailer was a riot (the good kind of riot) as opposed to causing one (one of the bad kinds with maiming and such). No doubt at the the mega-cineplex, this will be competing against Ashton Kautchers (probably spelled incorrectly, silly name anyways) cheeky grin which would render the trailer and the fil-um itself to heap. On a side note, I probably wouldn't see it having been burned by one too many Australia "comedies" of late. Kenny and The Dish aside, it was a a rough decade.
nic says:
Sorry, looks shite. Even the verically challenged character comes with an accent to make him more 'interesting'. Pass. Do they think we are so dumb to fall for a script that simply ticks boxes?

Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
"A very firm and closed wine, it shows its tannins rather than its fruit. With its weight, this dark wine should become rounded with age.Barrel Sample: 92-94 Points" 94 Points Wine Enthusiast
"This has good ripe plum and black cherry fruit woven with a currant eau-de-vie aroma. There's fine-grained structure and an easy, vanilla-tinged finish. Not as dense as the top St.-Juliens.Barrel Sample: 88-91 Points" 91 Points Wine Spectator
"The Beychevelle 2011 is a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot that was picked between 14th and 29th September, with twelve days of picking between those dates. The yield is one of Beychevelle's lowest at 39.5hl/ha with 13.2% alcohol and an IPT of 78. It has decent concentration on the nose, red rather than black fruit: raspberry, cranberry and a touch of pomegranate struck through with graphite and tobacco. It is medium-bodied with chalky tannins on the entry that is showing a little grittiness and chalkiness to its texture. It has crisp acidity and firm backbone with a grainy, masculine, tobacco tinged, tapered finish that is a little raw at present.Barrel Sample: 89-91 Points" 91 Points The Wine Advocate
"Bright ruby-purple. Reticent aromas of fresh red fruits and violet. Then sweet and supple in the mouth, with blueberry pie, red berry and floral flavors lifted by a hint of spicy rhubarb at the back. The finish is long and smooth, with harmonious acidity providing lift. Not the last word in complexity but an easygoing, politely styled Saint-Julien.Barrel Sample: 87-90 Points" 90 Points International Wine Cellar

Where do you get your information about Hainan
I am moving to Hainan and I am trying out figure out where people get their information about the island if they are planning to travel there.
N Posts: 1
As a native English speaker I have found it hard to find many resources about the island of Hainan, Chinan. I've tried trip adviser and things of that nature but it is still difficult to find good restaurants, site seeing, and things like that. I hope you can help me out. If you were a native English speaker wanting to travel to Hainan, where would you look for information? Any resources could help.

Beyond Material Worth: Session 3
MODERATOR PANELISTS Martha BuskirkAuthor, editor, and professor of art history and criticism at Montserrat College of Art Juliet SchorAuthor, professor of sociology at Boston College, and co-founder and co-chair of the board of the Center for a New
American Dream Simran SethiAward-winning journalist, author, and associate professor at the
University of Kansas School of Journalism and Mass Communications |
Session 3ModeratorPeter G. BrownIn A Distant Mirror (1978), historian Barbara Tuchman observes that we live in "an age of collapsing assumptions." Even in our brief exchanges, we can see how right she was! We are already reflecting afresh on property, value, and civilization. Yet this is just the beginning of the implications of art like Tino Sehgal's and of our conversation here. PANELISTMartha BuskirkI'm afraid I've never been very good at predicting the future, so I don't know about my qualifications to take up Peter's mission of trying to reimagine artistic practice, even in its immediate prospects. And regarding the question of how life affects art—one could turn that around and ask in what fashion, if any, does it not? PANELISTJuliet SchorPerhaps the most important change will be that more of us create art. This is already happening through the explosion of creativity that new technologies have facilitated. From YouTube videos to blogging to GarageBand recordings, individuals who are not "artists" are creating and making art and sharing it with others. They may not be making money from it, and they are not full-time artists, but they are exercising their creative faculties. It's fantastic, not because all the work that is produced is great (it is not), but because it allows people to satisfy deep human urges to create that have been stymied by our capitalist economy. PANELISTSimran SethiIt's hard to talk about art you can't see created by a person you don't know. Comments

History shows that fine arts and aesthetics on the one hand and moral and ethic values on the other hand have got the same roots.

A world without fanaticism would be a peaceful world.

User Review: Mountain Hardwear Men's Wicked Lite Long Sleeve T
Source: bought it new
Solid wicking long-sleeved shirt.
- Wicks
- Comfortable fabric
- No odor
- A little clingy on the top
A great solid shirt by MH. There is a lack of odor that many other synth shirts have and the material feels good against the skin, despite not being wool. I would say that it is a little clingy near the breast plate, but that goes away after use/washes. A solid shirt and a good price for it usually.

Recently, my husband and I, discovered how incredibly good steel cuts oats and large flake oats are when cooked properly and my almost one year old eats oats everyday for breakfast.

I am here for career fair and was leaving this afternoon and saw JD rolling down the sidewalk. His cast was massive and he was rolling around a leg cast scooter. I felt so bad for the guy. Imagine going from being big man on campus to having to roll around on one of these for months.... this is not a joke btw, and this picture was the best one i could find on google images.
Wonder what kind of top end speed you can get on one of those things? Would liked to have tried it going down the hill on Newell Dr to get to Shands for classes.
would crutches not be better for walking around campus? Both from a crowded/ease of movement and not looking ridiculous standpoint?
No he had ligaments repaired too so no weight at all for weeks can be on it, the scooter deal is safer and more stable. Keeps the ankle elevated slightly too.
Does it come with a spoiler and some wicked racing strips??? Anything in a glitter finish? Drink holder? Bell?
Naah, GPD would give him a ticket for speeding..... Headlines would read "Driscol, Late for class too, gets arrested" :ninja: Jeff, Hang in there, chicks did scooters! :geek:

Inspired by the Bible's account of the splendor of his temples and palaces adorned in glittering gold and copper, countless treasure-seekers have set off in search of King Solomon's mines. They have trekked through burning deserts and scaled the forbidding mountains of Africa and the Levant. Yet to date, the evidence that's been claimed to support the existence of Solomon and other early kingdoms in the Bible has been highly controversial. In fact, there is so little physical evidence of the kings who ruled Israel and Edom that many contend that they are no more real than King Arthur. During the summer of 2010, NOVA and National Geographic embarked on two groundbreaking expeditions to expose new clues buried in the pockmarked desert of Jordan: the ancient remnants of a mass industrial-scale copper mine and a 3,000-year-old message from the past with the words "slave," "king" and "judge." These cutting-edge investigations illuminate the legend of Solomon and reveal the source of the great wealth that powered the first mighty Biblical kingdoms.

text: Scientists discover enzyme that could slow part of the aging process in astronauts -- and the elderlyMay 01, 2012New research published online in the FASEB Journal suggests that a specific enzyme, called 5-lipoxygenase, plays a key role in cell death induced by microgravity environments, and that inhibiting this enzyme will likely help prevent or lessen the severity of immune problems in astronauts caused by spaceflight. Additionally, since space conditions initiate health problems that mimic the aging process on Earth, this discovery may also lead to therapeutics that extend lives by bolstering the immune systems of the elderly. "The outcomes of this space research might be helpful to improve health in the elderly on Earth," said Mauro Maccarrone, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Teramo in Teramo, Italy. "In fact, space conditions [cause problems that] resemble the physiological process of aging and drugs able to reduce microgravity-induced immunodepression might be effective therapeutics against loss of immune performance in aging people. 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, already used to curb human inflammatory diseases, may be such a group of compounds." Maccarone and colleagues made this discovery by conducting experiments involving two groups of human lymphocytes that were isolated from the blood of two healthy donors. The first group of lymphocytes was exposed to microgravity onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The second group was put in a centrifuge onboard the ISS, to have the same "Space environment" as the other group, but a normal Earth-like force of gravity. When programmed cell death (apoptosis) was measured in both groups, the lymphocytes exposed to microgravity showed an increase above what is considered "normal." The group exposed to the simulated Earth gravity showed no unusual differences. Specifically, the researchers believe that this difference is caused by different levels of the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme. "It's no surprise that bodies need Earth's gravity to function properly," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of the FASEB Journal, "because we evolved to survive on this planet. As humanity moves into space and potentially to other planets or asteroids, it's clear that we need know how not only to secure habitable conditions, but also how to secure our health. Fortunately, as we learn how to cope with low gravity environments, we also unlock secrets to longevity back home on Earth."

Modulating a protein in the brain could help control Alzheimer's disease A protein known to exist in the brain for more than 30 years, called 5-lipoxygenase, has been found to play a regulatory role in the formation of the amyloid beta in the brain, the major component of plaques implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease, according to researchers at Temple University's School of Medicine. Potential Lung Disease Biomarkers Yield Clues to COX-2 Inhibitor Side Effects In searching for a simple way to identify individuals with smoking-related lung injury, scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College have stumbled upon a potential explanation for why the class of pain-relievers known as COX-2 inhibitors increases the risk of heart problems among users. HOPE FOR GENETIC TESTS TO TREAT SCHIZOPHRENIA AND ASTHMA Scientists are moving a step closer to providing treatment based on a person's genetic profile.

Given the huge amount of time we spend riding the trails in the river valley, a few years ago the club thought it a good idea to put something back in the form of some trail days. In cooperation with the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Mountain Bike Alliance, Hardcore Cycling Club adopted the trails in the area below Saskatchewan Drive from the Walterdale Bridge to the Old Timer's Cabin.
Our second Trail Day will be Wednesday August 28th and will be in place of the ride. Come help maintain the trails we love to ride. Afterwards we will retire to Garneau for food and refreshments compliments of your Hardcore Cycling Club
Work Starts at 6:30pm
Meet at the Old Timer's Parking lot a bit before 6:30
Bring shovels, gloves, hedge trimmers, pulaskis and any other trail tools you might have. Closed-toe shoes are a must.
Given the huge amount of time we spend riding the trails in the river valley, the club thought it a good idea to put something back in the form of some trail days this year. In cooperation with the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Mountain Bike Alliance, Hardcore Cycling Club will be adopting the trails in the area below Saskatchewan Drive from the Walterdale Bridge to the Old Timer's Cabin.
This is the first Trail Day of 2013. We plan to have more so stay tuned
Where: Queen Elizabeth Park West (by Old Pool) -- Parking Lot
When: Wednesday June 17 at 6:30pm (come a bit early so we can get going at 6:30).
Why: To Fix up the Trails that we enjoy riding.
Afterwards, stay for a BBQ courtesy of the Hardcore Cycling Club.
The second round of the Alberta XC Cup will take place on Sunday May 19th. at Terwillegar Park.
The Monday Rides are Going despite the wintery weather. These are mountain bike rides that meet at the shop and leave at 6:30. More Details Here
Road Rides are also underway. Meet at the shop at 6:30pm every Thursday. Rides will start out as 1.5 - 2 hours but progress through the season to be longer.
With both the Road and MTB rides, newcomers are welcome to try out the rides but if you enjoy it, you do need to join our club to keep coming out (blame the lawyers). You can do that Here. If a ride needs to be cancelled due to weather we will announce it on our Twitter Feed which you can subscribe to Here.
Wednesday rides will get going soon stay watch this space or, as mentioned above, subscribe to our scintillating Twitter feed.
Information and Registration for the Hardcore Cycling Club is up. Click Here to Check it Out. the riding is going to be good.
Can't make it to Stonehenge this year? Why not come to our Solstice Ride instead.
Not only is Ibis bringing their demo bikes to the Shop on June 20th from 3 to 6pm but we will also be hosting our annual Solstice Ride. This ride will take advantage of the long evenings at that time of year so we can hit up the best trails in the river valley...all of them. Plan for 4.5 hours of riding. After-ride activities will include suitably pagan beverages and snacks at our favourite post-ride restaraunt.
The Monday and Wednesday rides have started. Due to the mud and snow on some of the trails the early rides tend to be on gravel trails and pavement but as the weather improves we will be shifting to singletrack. The first Monday ride April 2 had a great turnout and the weather cooperated. On that topic, if the weather is looking sketchy, check with the forum or subcribe to our Twitter feed for ride (and race) updates. We will let you know if a ride or Tuesday night race is to be cancelled at about 4pm the day of. Sometimes we will still have the ride if the weather is wet but it will shift back to the paved or gravel paths to preserve the trails. Come and give it a try, we hope to see you out.
The rides break down like this:
Monday has 2 Rides: the Social Ride and the All-Mountain Monday Ride
Wednesday's Rides are the Racer Ride and the Enduro Ride
We do combine groups if the numbers are too low for multiple rides and similarly we will break into more groups if the numbers are high. For detailed descriptions of the rides to see what might appeal to you Click Here

City of San Francisco Department of the Environment - 2012
Case Study
To help the City of San Francisco defend its title as the greenest major city in North America, Anna Ju Yeon Bae modeled a plan for utility-scale residential solar water heating.
She documented how local utilities could offer solar energy just like other currently available energy sources, such as natural gas and electricity, but for a lower cost and without greenhouse gas emissions.
After researching solar water heating programs in other cities, Bae designed a Power Purchase Agreement that could pay back the utility's investment within 10 years and lower customers' current utility costs. The project, which has little or no upfront cost, would also avoid 12,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 20 years.
Bae also examined a wind energy generation project with the America's Cup yacht race, which takes place in San Francisco from 2012 to 2013. Bae and the event's sustainability team explored the installation of wind turbines at the event camp, which could generate renewable energy for the camp, as well as the Port of San Francisco, and be an educational resource for residents and visitors.

La Tauromaquia: Carnicero, Goya, and Picasso
April 19 – July 28, 2013
PHILADELPHIA —In celebration of the Arthur Ross Gallery's 30th Anniversary, La Tauromaquia: Carnicero, Goya, and Picasso presents 70 master prints collected by the Arthur Ross Foundation which explore the long-revered tradition of the Spanish bullfight by featuring the works of three extraordinary artists – Carnicero, Goya and Picasso – who interpreted this popular entertainment in very different ways. This is the first time all 70 prints are on display in a single exhibition.
In the 18th century, the bullfight was both a sport and an entertainment in Spain, democratically beloved from royalty to the lower classes. A skilled matador often became a famed national hero, and his fighting in the corrida was considered a fully developed art form. As Ernest Hemingway wrote: "Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor."
Antonio Carnicero's (1748-1814) seven etchings and title sheet from Colleción de las principals suertes de una corrida de toros (Collection of the main actions in a bullfight), executed in 1790, illustrate the highly ritualized stages of the bullfight. In 1816, at the age of 70, Francisco Goya published the first edition of 33 prints on La Tauromaquia in Madrid. His daring compositions and dramatic chiaroscuro accentuate the drama that unfolds in the ring. Several decades later, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), the brilliant 20th-century artist, turned to bullfighting for his subject matter. In a single afternoon in 1957 he completed 26 plates for La Tauromaquia, o arte de torear, Pepe Illo's treatise, for the Ediciones La Cometa specialist collection.
La Tauromaquia: Carnicero, Goya and Picasso is the culmination of exhibitions celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Arthur Ross Gallery. The Gallery was the brainchild of Penn President Emeritus Mr. Martin Meyerson and Mr. Arthur Ross. In 1983, they established the Arthur Ross Gallery on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania for the benefit of the Philadelphia and University communities. It has since expanded to a much broader focus, embracing an eclectic program of changing exhibitions in all fields of the visual arts and cultural artifacts from around the world.

Creating: Quilts of the Lakota
Wokage: Lakota Wicahi Owinja Kin
February 9 – April 7, 2013
PHILADELPHIA —Creating: Quilts of the Lakota presents twenty eye-dazzling 20th century quilts from The Heritage Center at Red Cloud Indian School, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota. Several of the quilts in the exhibition are exhibited publically and published for the first time. The exhibition and related catalogue reflect a three-year collaboration between the Arthur Ross Gallery and The Heritage Center.
Mary V. Bordeaux, a SICANGU LAKOTA and guest curator, selected the superb Star quilts that reflect just a fraction of The Heritage Center's collection. In the exhibition catalogue Ms. Bordeaux notes: "When receiving a quilt…a Lakota person feels a sense of pride and respect, and those feelings are embodied in each and every quilt."
To add historical and cultural context, 19th-century Lakota artifacts, including moccasins, a cradleboard, and parfleche boxes, are included in the exhibition and lent by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. These artifacts reflect Native American sewing traditions prior to the introduction of quilting in the 1880s by missionaries at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Visitors will discover both Lakota quilting techniques and as learn more about Lakota traditions. This exhibition promotes interdisciplinary learning, engages new audiences, and involves Penn faculty and students. Tours of the exhibition will be offered on weekend afternoons at 1 pm to the public.
Additional support for Creating: Quilts of the Lakota and the exhibition catalogue is provided by: Mrs. Arthur Ross, Mr. George Gillespie, the Arthur Ross Exhibition Fund, the Friends of the Arthur Ross Gallery, the Philadelphia Cultural Fund, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

PHILADELPHIA — Samba Sessão: Afro-Brazilian Art and Film focuses attention on the visual culture of Brazil, formerly home to the largest concentration of African slaves in the Americas and the longest lasting slave system in the Western Hemisphere. Brazil has a rich artistic tradition that is little known or exhibited in the United States, an oversight that Samba Sessão seeks to rectify.
Collected in the late-1990s by John Axelrod and later acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the fifteen paintings and three sculptures that form the core of the exhibition draw on different aspects of modern Afro-Brazilian life and culture. Created at the hands of twentieth-century Brazilian artists, the paintings, sculptures, and videos on display in the exhibition showcase a rich cultural inheritance.
"In the canvases, sculptures and films featured in the gallery, we witness birth, death, love, conflict, belief, and fantasy," says curator Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, "We see bustling life in the big city and the slower pace of country roads side-by-side with ribald dancing and visionary rituals. The social and cultural landscape of Brazil is brought to life."
Adds curator Tamara J. Walker: "The past - its weight, lessons, as well as its triumphs – is ingrained into the symbols and stories at the heart of the pieces on display, and as such it provides the key to understanding them."
Samba Sessão is the product of a Halpern-Rogath Curatorial Seminar offered by the Department of the History of Art and led by professors Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw and Tamara J. Walker. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Arthur Ross Gallery with support from the Friends of the Arthur Ross Gallery. Additional support is provided by the Center for Africana Studies, Latin American and Latino Studies, the History Department, and the Interdisciplinary Arts Grant, Office of the Provost, University of Pennsylvania.
IN MATERIAL: FIBER 2012 Works by LUCY ARAI, SONYA CLARK, MI-KYOUNG-LEE & CYNTHIA SCHIRA
January 28 March 25, 2012
PHILADELPHIA In Material opens at the University of Pennsylvanias Arthur Ross Gallery on January 28, 2012. The exhibition presents four artists who bring innovation to the field of fiber art and deconstruct the popular definition of textile art with their use of unexpected materials.
Lucy Arai, currently based in California, was apprenticed in the practice of sashiko, a decorative stitching process, which she re-invigorates and applies to handmade paper and mixed media. Sonya Clark, who is Chair of Craft/Material Studies Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, uses thread, plastic combs, human hair, and found objects to create works inspired by her ancestry. Philadelphia-based artist Mi-Kyoung Lee, who is chair of the Fiber Arts Department at the University of the Arts, has had her woven backdrops incorporated into theater productions around the globe. Cynthia Schira, whose work is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art collection, digitally connects art and language in her elaborately patterned Jacquard cloths.
The exhibition is presented in conjunction with FiberPhiladelphia 2012, an international biennial for fiber and textile art, and in cooperation with Snyderman-Works Galleries. The Arthur Ross Gallery is pleased to partner with more than 30 other venues across the Philadelphia region to concurrently exhibit fiber art that incorporates new technologies, new materials, and contemporary artistic concerns. This exhibition was curated by Arthur Ross Gallerys Associate Director and Associate Curator Dejáy B. Duckett.
Arthur Ross Gallery Presents Magnum Photographer Stuart Franklin
November 5 January 9, 2011
PHILADELPHIA- The Dogon: Work, Women and Water featuring photographs by renowned Magnum photographer Stuart Franklin, opens at the Arthur Ross Gallery on November 5, 2010. The exhibition is in cooperation with the 2010-11 Year of Water at the University of Pennsylvania.
On Thursday, November 4, at 5:00pm, Franklin will give a lecture in conjunction with the exhibition. Please consult the Gallerys website for location and other details.
In 2009, Franklin was commissioned by the Voss Foundation, whose primary goal is to provide clean drinking water to African communities, to photograph its work in the Dogon region of Mali, focusing on women and water. The purpose of the mission was both to document the Voss Foundation's successful water projects in the area, and to increase awareness of the global water crisis. Franklins trip to Mali resulted in a series of photographs depicting the life of a desert landscape, where water is paramount in the daily struggle to survive. In an effort to promote awareness, the photographs invite the viewer to consider water as a precious resource rather than an endless commodity.
Franklin was born in London, England and studied photography at Oxford Polytechnic and West Surrey College of Art and Design, He joined Magnum Photos in 1985, covering subjects such as the U.S. involvement in Honduras, unemployment in Japan, and flooding in Sudan. He won a World Press Photo award for his now famous 1989 photo of a man standing up to a tank in China's Tiananmen Square.
Franklin began working with National Geographic in 1990, covering more than 20 assignments for the magazine on such subjects as Inca conqueror Francisco Pizarro, Shanghai, the hydro-struggle in Quebec, Buenos Aires, and Malaysia. His book projects include The Time of Trees (Leonardo Arte, Milan, 1999), La Città Dinamica (Mondadori, Milan, 2003), Sea Fever (Bardwell Press, Oxford, 2005), and Hotel Afrique (Dewi Lewis, Manchester, 2007), Footprint: Our Landscape in Flux (Thames & Hudson, 2008). He received his Ph.D. in geography from the University of Oxford in 2002. He currently resides in the UK.
The Dogon: Work, Women and Water will continue at the Arthur Ross Gallery. 220 S. 34th Street, Philadelphia, through January 9, 2011. Programming support provided by the Office of the Provost, and the African Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania.

Featuring 42 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings and photographs of the nude from the 1st century BCE to the present, this exhibition is selected from the University of Pennsylvanias outstanding art collection.
What does it mean for a body to be beautiful? Societys current obsession with the body and its politics is relentlessly detailed online and in media updates of luminariesfrom Lance Armstrong to Oprah, Brad Pitt to Lady Gaga.
Historically, it was the role of visual artists to document these cultural norms. Naked: The University Collection Unveiled showcases this evolution through works by Albrecht Dürer, Marisol Escobar, an unidentified Greek sculptor, Henry Moore, Eadweard Muybridge, Helmut Newton, Auguste Rodin, Niki de Sainte Phalle, and Edward Steichen among others.
Free lectures and self-guided tours on the subject of the nude will be offered during September and October. Please consult the Gallerys website for details.

April 10- June 27, 2010
PHILADELPHIA Laughing Matters: Soviet Propaganda in Khrushchevs Thaw 1956-1964 will open at the Arthur Ross Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania on April 9, 2010. This exhibition comprised of 25 posters, most on view for the first time in the United States, offers a unique and thematically coherent sample of Soviet Propaganda art from the Thaw, perioda singular moment of post Stalinist liberalization during Nikita Khrushchevs reign.
Curated by Liliana Mikova Ph.D. and Masha Kowell, Ph.D candidate, both from the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania, Laughing Matters: Soviet Propaganda in Khrushchevs Thaw 1956-1964 highlights the dramatic iconographic shift from earlier Socialist Realist imagery to the vibrant images and cartoonish figures iconic of post-thaw propaganda posters. Instead of the monumentalizing and formulaic discourse common in pre-thaw images, the posters in Laughing Matters display humor, light-heartedness and whimsy, and are reminiscent of stylized comic books and caricatures.
A symposium, The Thaw: Visual Culture and Beyond addressing poster aesthetics in the former Eastern bloc countries will be held on April 8, 2010 at the Max Kade Center, sponsored by the Department of Slavic Studies. Additional support of the exhibition is provided by the Department of the History of Art at Penn. On April 9 from 5:30 PM 7:30 PM the Arthur Ross Gallery will host an opening reception. On April 10 at 2:00 PM the Arthur Ross Gallery will host a public exhibition walk-through with the curators. An additional gallery talk, Khrushchevs Fateful Visit to Albania, 50 Years On, will be given by Dr. Richard Hodges, Williams Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology on April 27, 2010 at 5:30 PM at the Arthur Ross Gallery. Please consult the Gallerys website for details.
Laughing Matters: Soviet Propaganda in Khrushchevs Thaw 1956-1964 will continue at the Arthur Ross Gallery, 220 S. 34th Street, Philadelphia, through June 27, 2010. Additional information is available at www.upenn.edu/ARG or 215-898-2083. Media Contact: Sara Stewart at 215-898-3617 or email@example.com

In my brief period bringing you the fantasy basketball goods, I feel like I have been steadfast with my picks and decisions as the doings and goings of the NBA facilitate. Somebody yesterday made an outrageous claim that I wasn't on Tobias Harris early on with a hokum situation. Never head back from ya, bro!
But as I responded, I was way wrong on Thomas Robinson and have admitted that numerous times. Who deals their two biggest-minute PFs at the same time bringing in a PF only not to play him? C'mon Rockets! I still think Robinson is a great raw talent and depending on how things shake out in the offseason might be a sleeper for me in 2013-2014.
And that brings me to that other Robinson who I have been down on all year. Last night, Nate Robinson played 33 minutes off the bench and shot 10-18 (5-11 3PTM 10-10 FT) 35 Pts 3 Rebs 2 Asts and 1 Blk. Despite the huge burst of points, that's all Robinson's big contribution is: points. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's the easies...

Hey guys,
Im 16 weeks 1 day pregnant with my 3rd baby and I still havent felt any movement at all. I remember with my other two feeling something, even a bubbly feeling, but this one I feel nothing at all like Im not even pregnant. I have a Dr appt tomorrow and I am terrified to go! I have no cramps or pain or bleeding.
Don't worry until you have to. Each pregnancy is different. I am in the same boat as you. I am 15 weeks pregnant with my third. I have 2 boys and with each of them it was similar. But with this pregnancy its totally different. I am experiencing things for the first time with this pregnancy. So don't worry. It is still early, stress doesnt help either. Good luck at your doctor appointment!

Jeffrey Campbells - TK Maxx, £40
I was browsing the TK Maxx website on Monday and came across these beauties. I love Jeffrey Campbell even if the Lita is a little overdone but there are lot of other designs in the brand that are sexy and quirky. The only thing that has put me off before is the price tag (these were originally £154) and the only other pair of JCs I have were £15 in an Office sale a couple of years ago.
But after searching high and low for a perfect pair of black heels for summer, I think I've nailed it. The shoes are comfortable but as they're open toed (and footed, pretty much) they're great for keeping your feet cool, however disgusting it may sound. I'm fairly impressed with the quality of the shoes too, plus it came with spare heel bottoms in case of emergency!

The Stanley Running Club Cape Pembroke Half Marathon 2014
Friday, 07 March 2014A strong wind and a chance of rain or even snow are becoming the regular conditions for the Stanley Running Club Cape Pembroke Half Marathon, but despite a lower turnout from the military than usual the event was boosted by a larger than usual number of resident runners.
Cheerfully smiling around the course on Sunday February 23, despite the brutal cross wind, were 32 runners and two walkers.
First man was IJS teacher Tim Drew (pictured left) in an astonishingly quick time of 1:16:02, only a couple of minutes off the course record set by Steven Frear in 2010.
Islander Teslyn Barkman (pictured below), the first woman, took 24 minutes off her winning time in 2010 and set a new women's course record with a time of 1:35:25.
