Avatar Land? Meh.
IMHO, Disney doesn't need the Avatar theme or story to develop great new attractions.
Disney: if you pay me several million dollars for my advice to avoid "Avatar Land", you will still be ahead of the game by a factor of about a hundred over the next couple of decades by going another way. Go the Disney way instead.

I knew I shouldnt have mentioned the 'A" word. :>)
Whether it will happen, whether it will be great for disney, whether it will be dated, whatever, is not the issue for me. I just thought that out of everything that is going on with the Magic plus, and everything that could be potentially positive improvement for Disney - Mr. Cameron would be THE MAN to know how to use that RFID chip to maximize the experience. Just how I feel. Does not mean its right, or its good, or whatever. Honestly, when I first heard about Magic Plus, within a day, I was thinking - I wonder if that is how Disney 'won' James Cameron in the marketing war. The two fit together perfectly. I think the idea would turn Mr. C's crank. That is why I used it as an example.
Now, on to more exciting news. I looked at the theme board threads, and apparently Josh from EasyWDW was forcasting the end of EMH. Hmmmm. Interesting... and my goodness, doesent that put a kink in the old best day charts, huh? What do y'all think? Is it going?

I dont think Disney is going to get rid of EMH without replacing it with a 'perk' that is either real or paper imaginary.
I was reading that thread Mom2rtk, but I was not going to post on it. I think it will get intense fast.
The perk I see being offered is extra fp+. It COULD be done with additional time in the park allowed only to resort guests, kinda repackaged and renamed and revised EMH. That would be a decent perk
Or, under the imaginary perk, it could just be extra fp+s - and they will make it appear like a SUPER PERK, BETTER THEN EMH EVER WAS!! (that is the disney marketer shouting, not me, I dont think its going to be a good perk.)
How are they going to make this commodity super desirable, intensley coveted? By creating a NEED for more then 3 FP to have a great time at Disney. And that is simple to do: make standby lines really yukky at all fp rides (including b attractions), and whistle through those in the fp line. Carrot and Stick, but mostly, stick. And, through the same means, they can make less busy times of year more busy by offering resort guests more FP+s.
I am not sure if this carrot/stick idea wouldnt backfire on Disney. Definetly some holes in this theory. Afterall, if your strategy to sell something is by pissing people off with long standby lines, isnt there a huge risk of just turning off the person from ever coming back again?
Yes, some definete weak points on this theory, and yet, I think they did a little trial test on that at wdw a week or so ago. Studying the human psychy by making people wait 2 hrs in a supposed 20 minute standby line. Perhaps it was all accidental. Its just strange.
Edited to ADD: Even if they do away with EMH altogether, parks during peak periods would still probably run some very late hours, but I am not sure if they would go to 3 in the morning like EMH would do over christmas (and I hear ya, the last hour or two on a very late night in the park can be the best time!)

We don't use enough EMH to care that much, but it's certainly interesting to follow what their thought pattern is with this.
Something still needs to help fill all those onsite rooms.
Will it be extra FP+ slots? I think they said they weren't doing that. But who the heck knows. I just can't figure out where all that ride capacity is coming from. Seems a little like our government just printing more money when they want it. People don't like 3 FP+ slots? Just print more. Boom, now you get 4. People want some same day slots in addition to the prescheduled ones? Just print more. People want a perk to stay onsite? Just print more. (OK, I know they're not "printing" anything, but you get the idea......)

Well, ride capacity is definetly a finite number. BUT, disney increased the number of fp by adding more FP+ enabled attractions. Then they made parades and fireworks part of the deal. Finally, counter service. So they are printing their own money so to speak.
You do have to consider the 'weakest link' though. AK has the shortest park hours, and really the least number of 'attractions'. When you combine that with potential maximum park attendance projections, there are some issues.

Disney is juggling multiple "goals" and they've invested a monster truck load of money in MyMagic+ so they're doing it to help their bottom line. How can this help their bottom line? There are lots of ways but some that spring to mind are...
1. Keeping people out of long lines and in to shops, restaurants etc.
2. Streamlining staffing, transportation, etc.
3. Filling more rooms
4. Encouraging people to come to WDW for longer (more days on their tickets)
5. New products Magic Bands and Magic Band personalisation/accessories
6. Improving guest experience to encourage return visits
Taking EMH away as a "perk" will do more harm than good. There are only 2 real perks to staying on-site these days, EMH and free parking. Take the EMH away and they risk driving people off site and filling less rooms.
As I mentioned previously, I think the idea with MyMagic+ is to better control how guests visit the parks while making the guest feel like their experience is incredible. By controlling the guest experience, they can streamline.
Getting less done in a day will encourage people to come for longer and encourage return visitors. However, there will need to be a fine balancing act with this because if they guest doesn't get the experience they want or guests are unable to get what they feel is a reasonable amount done, will deter them.
I kinda see this like a balancing act that Disney are going to play. Think about it in a different context. If you go to a great restaurant that has awesome food and plenty of it, you're prepared to wait a little longer for a table and you'll probably go back again. If you go to a restaurant and the food is mediocre and you leave hungry, waiting longer because an additional irritant and you're unlikely to go back. To make this work for them, Disney will have to get that balance right.
The beauty of Disney is that they create touches of magic and those little sparks of magic go a LONG way. The key to making this work is going to be the they sprinkle in controlling the guest and improving their experience.
Obviously, there will be the revenue from Magic Bands which will become the next big accessory like the ear hats that every kid wants and has their name embroidered on, which will make a dent in recovering the investment over time, but there is so much more to what this technology can do that will indirectly generate revenue.
Your average first time visitor doesn't know (and often doesn't care) what the wait times are like. A free Mickey Bar, the odd extra FP, a special pin, and a personal greeting from a character will put a smile on their faces. We'll have to see if Disney get it right (they usually do) but my guess is they have some tricks up their sleeves.

A very well laid out explanation...though a little corporate.
"Touches of Magic?"...i mean, come on
But you're right in that there "crowd control" initiative is intended to do all those things.
I jus think that if they go hard at the cost saving features off the bat...to "recoup costs"...they may be pushing it even if they are Disney.
Their room rates and tickets prices have been increased at unsustainable rates over the last few years...they may reach a point where they outbudget the core of their audience. No matter what the stock market says...the money for travel is still not there and may not return fully- let alone the time needed to do it. The way our economy is duct taped together, for companies like Disney to just bank on the old models and assume a boom is coming is dangerous. The last couple were based on hoaxes and the magicians may be out of tricks.
So this new system of "pre-planned" fun could backlash.
Compress park days to limit staff or as you have laid out - warrant longer stays.
First, people will not be taking longer vacations...it's not happening. The more that it makes sense, the more the US digs in its heels and resists it. We are a very ignorant and arrogant people often times.
So while the foreign markets may increase travel time - the core audience is not going more than 7 days in the aggregate. That's the way it is and shall remain.
The other thing with reduced park days is more down time for the customers where they are either dumped back into Orlando or forced to hotels and downtown for the purpose of retail.
Also dangerous, as it could have the opposite effect on the casual traveler. More incessant exposure to merch could turn on them and force people to stay fewer days - as they are exposed to more cash grab while getting less amusement and value for high price rooms and ticket media.
We'll see...this RFID thing has many more chapters yet to be written in the story.

I do agree that getting rid of EMH would do more harm than good. But it's worth noting that there is still a pretty nice 3rd benefit to staying onsite, the Magical Express.

Can they do it? Could they do it? Hmmmmmm. (yes, I think if they can get the technology to work right, and the customer response is positive,, I think they would.)
This is the billion dollar idea perhaps. But before we worry about that, we will have to see how this new system succeeds or fails, and what the consumer response is to it. Perhaps that is what they are thinking too - lets see how this baby rolls!
But nice point.

Economy Minister Petro Poroshenko.
© www.kmu.gov.ua
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich told government ministers he would "tear off" their heads if they did not stop political intriguing before Oct. 28 parliamentary elections, Ukrainian media said on Friday.
Yanukovich, who is known for his rough language, made his outburst last Wednesday after Economy Minister Petro Poroshenko appealed to him for more active support in imposing a recycling fee on cars and machinery from Russia.
"A bad dancer is always impeded by something," Yanukovich replied, a slightly softer version of a crude Russian expression that says a poor dancer always blames his testicles.
Clearly seeing Poroshenko's request as a stalling tactic, he said: "I'll tear off your heads very soon. Straight after the elections if you go on talking without doing anything."
Yanukovich, who was presiding over an economics strategy meeting in the town ofDnipropetrovsk, went on: "I told the prime minister this and today I am telling all of you sitting in the front row the same thing.
"We have a month and a half left (before the election). If you want to play at politics - go on play at politics (at your own risk)."
Yanukovich's caustic remarks appeared to reflect some unease over how his Party of Regions may perform in the October election given his government's unpopularity over tax and pension reform.
Despite a united opposition bringing together the main opposition parties, including Batkivshchyna of jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, experts predict Yanukovich's allies will hold on to their majority in the 450-seat parliament.
Poroshenko, a billionaire businessman whose assets include chocolate factories and a major television station and who was named economy minister in March, was reported by Interfax news agency as replying to Yanukovich: "Alright then, thank you. We'll do it without your help."
The online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda quoted Poroshenko as telling journalists in theBlack Sea resort of Yalta on Friday that the comment had not been personally directed at him alone.
"It was addressed to everyone who was on the front row. I was standing at the tribune at the time ...," he said. (Writing By Richard Balmforth; Editing by Jon Boyle)

The bodice is inspired by a dress Daughter no2 saw on the Modcloth website about a year ago, now she finally has one similar! The fabric is a stretch cotton sateen John Kaldor print from Tatler's fabrics in Derby. The bodice is lined witha white stretch cotton poplin. I have included a photo of all the bodice pieces before assembling, so you can see their individual shapes. For loads more, and the hold-up in getting this dress completed, see the blog

It's a busy time for Billy Burke. The actor who plays Bella's father in all three 'Twilight' films is also a musician. And he's got a CD to promote, too.
Billy Burke was prepared for Twilight fever.
The 43-year-old actor, who has played Bella's father Charlie Swan in all three the films, had a feeling that a little camouflage would help keep the teenage fans at bay.
"I had a suspicion when I read the script and saw what the books were doing it would have an audience," says Burke by phone from Los Angeles. "My porn 'stache was part of the plan. I thought, do I want to be recognized every day of my life? How do I alleviate that?"
Nonetheless, Burke, who is married with a daughter who turns 2 next month, still gets stopped at airports and other public spots. ''Kids are very savvy," acknowledges Burke, who has played cops in the thrillers Untraceable and Fracture and a Secret Service Agent in Along Came A Spider. "I'll notice they'll poke at their mom, then the whole thing starts. No one could have predicted the cultural phenomenon Twilight has become."
No time to rest, either: Burke is doing double duty, promoting the movie as well as his country-bluesy album, Removed (listen to a sample at billyburke.net).
"I thought it would be a good idea to piggyback the two and it turns out I was right," says the Washington State native. "It's been a whirlwind. I get probably four to five hours a night. Sleep is my friend; it's been rough."
But a working actor can't complain.
"You spend so much time in this lifestyle bored, posing a danger to yourself, it's better this way," he says with a laugh. "I'd rather be busy than not."
Next up: filming TNT's new series, Rizolli & Isles, back playing an FBI agent, and gearing up to promote the dark comedy with Nicolas Cage, Drive Angry, in which Burke plays a cult leader. The character is a mix of "Jim Jones, Jim Morrison and a little Louis Cypher," says Burke, who wore prosethetic nails this go-around.
Working with Cage was up there.
"He's such a gentle, sweet guy who is genuinely interested in the outcome of the movie," says Burke, whose teen fans seem to be rubbing off on him. "It was dope."

They are the cherries you see this time of year because they are typically used to make homemade fruitcake.

CSS is a mess. First introduced in ~1995, it was meant to style basic text documents. Not websites. Not applications. Text documents. It has come a long way since then. Probably a bit too long. A lot of things were not intended in the first place like multi-column layouts, responsive web design and more; this is why it has become a language full of hacks and glitches, like some kind of odd steam machine with a bunch of extensions.

Adopting impairment-specific identities is bad for all disabled people, says Andy Rickell.
To mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, UK Disability History Month explores the links between war and impairment. UKDHM coordinator Richard Rieser looks at the background.
Motorists no longer have to show tax discs in their windows. Helen Dolphin explains why this has led to blue badge holders losing parking concessions.
Following the announcement of yet another means of rectifying paralysing spinal injury, Peter White says that such developments are usually a mirage and do nothing towards the real empowerment of disabled people.
As it emerges that the government may be planning to radically reduce employment and support allowance payments, Ian Macrae says that there are many reasons why this is bad for disabled people.

Moonland feat. Lenna Kuurmaa – "S/T" (2014)
Label: Frontiers Records
Review by Tony Cannella
Sadly, it gets harder and harder to find good melodic AOR music these days. Songs with catchy hooks and punchy choruses are scarce these days, but thankfully the fine folks over at Frontiers records have that covered and they've brought us a good one with Moon Land featuring Lenna Kuurmaa. Lenna Kuurmaa is an Estonian singer who some fans might know from the all female band Vanilla Ninja. With her new project, Moon Land she has joined forces with some talented Italian musicians to produce a 12-song, 52-minute slice of AOR heaven.
Lenna Kuurmaa has a soaring vocal style which fits like a glove with the music that is being played. Continue reading »
Tåve Wanning – Adrenaline Rush
Interview by Miriam C.Italian label Frontiers Records is synonymous of good quality for the hard rockers/AOR fans and it's not the first time that Frontiers commits in discover and promote new and exciting bands. A blatant example is Sweden's Adrenaline Rush whose debut album was produced along with one of the best talent of this recent years, Erik Martensson from Eclipse and W.E.T. Without further ado, let's the singer Tåve tell us more about AR's debut and her career… Hi Tåve, first of all welcome to Femme Metal Webzine. How are you?
Hi. All good, thank you.Later this year, Frontiers Records launched AR with the release of your first video/single "Change" in late April and then you were invited to play at the Frontiers Rock Festival in Milan. But, let's take a step back: could you introduce the band to us from the beginning? How Adrenaline Rush was born? Continue reading »
Adrenaline Rush – "Adrenaline Rush" (2014)
Label: Frontiers Records
Review by Tony Cannella
From Sweden, Adrenaline Rush is a band with a sound that harkens back to the 80s. Not that it's a bad thing, to the contrary it is always cool to hear a band that has an influence from the 80s, and as long as it's done well – with power, conviction and integrity – than all the better. With their self-titled debut, Adrenaline Rush pretty much nails it.
Adrenaline Rush is an album that is sharply produced and comes fully loaded with a great sound and solid performances. Heavy guitar riffs abound, starting with the opening track "Black n' Blue" and continuing on with the infectious video track "Change". This one in particular is an instantly memorable song thanks to a catchy hook, a great guitar driven groove and an unforgettable chorus. Continue reading »
Heart – "Fanatic Live From Caesars Coliseum" (2014)
Label: Frontiers Records
Review by Tony Cannella
For me, Heart is one of those bands that it is easy to forget how many great songs they have. Everyone knows "Barracuda", "Crazy on You", "Straight On", etc. etc. but the fact is, their catalogue is so much stronger that just the classics that get played on the radio. With their new live album "Fanatic Live…" the band shines a light on some of their lesser known songs in addition to the aforementioned classics. And oh yeah, there is Ann Wilson who continues to have one of the best voices in all of rock.
From the opening of "Fanatic" taken from their last studio album and then "Magazine's" "Heartless" the band takes the listener on a rock and roll journey that spans their career. Continue reading »
Interview by Ary G"Thrive" is the first solo album released by the Swedish singer Angelica Rylin, known for her work in The Murder Of My Sweet. On the occasion of this brand new music effort, we got the chance to exchange a few chats with this amazing brunette. Hi Angelica. Welcome back to FM. Last time we had the chance to exchange a few chats with you was on the occasion of the latest release by The Murder of My Sweet. Today we obviously talk about your first solo album, called "Thrive". It was released by the Italian label Frontiers Records a few months ago. What could you say about this record?
"Thrive" is a modern melodic rock album. I wanted to make a solo album that was slightly different from what we do with The Murder of My Sweet and this genre has always been close to my heart. The album has strong melodies and hooks and great performances by the musicians. Continue reading »

Pretty much what the title is. I'm excited to see what the gym is like there and want to see if there's anyone interested in lifting with me for a couple days. ^

I probably won't make it to the gym, but I would just like to comment that you will not be disappointed in our gym. One of the best all around complexes I've ever been to. Enjoy yourself. Also don't forget to check out our rock wall also.
Edit: this sub isn't very active either, I hope you find someone to go with! It's also a pretty active gym, you may make a friend there.

LOCATION:Human Resources\,410 Cottage Home St. \nLos Angeles\, CA 90012
SUMMARY:Walk the Walk\, Fayçal Baghriche
In 2013\, Paris-based a rtist Faycal Baghriche was invited to Los Angeles\, leading to his first vi sit to the city. During his stay he presented a lecture at Machine Project\ , entitled "You Talk the Talk". This hour-long performance presented Baghri che&rsquo\;s first impressions of Los Angeles&rsquo\; urban organization\, as well as his observations on the behavior of its inhabitants\, focusing o n the daily performative practices that are displayed on every corner of pu blic space. \;
"Walk the Walk" is a result of "You Talk th e Talk". \;
The exhibition serves as a space to continue a conversation that took place a year ago. The resulting large-scale install ation stems from Baghriche&rsquo\;s engagement with Los Angeles and his obs ervations on the sphere of everyday public life here. It addresses &ndash\; and plays with &ndash\; notions of visibility/ invisibility\, representati on/ replication\, and the impact (and exchange value) of poetic and perform ative acts in urban space. \;
Monday-Thursday\, by appointment only.
Please note: the artist is available for pri vate walkthroughs. \;
To schedule a walkthrough or an appointment to view the exhibition\, call the artist&rsquo\;s U.S. mobile number: 424. 205.9794 or email faycal[dot]baghriche[at]gmail[dot]com.
Faycal Baghriche (born 1972\, Skikda\, Algeria) lives and works in Paris\, France. He is currently co-founder and co-director of La Villa du Lavoir\, an artist residency in Paris\, and a f ounding member of the curatorial structure\, Le Commissariat. \;
Over the past 10 years\, Baghriche has exhibited widely both in Fran ce and abroad. He exhibited in Brooklyn Euphoria\, New York and Dashanzi Ar t Festival\, Beijing (both 2004)\, and later La force de l&rsquo\;Art\, Fra nce&rsquo\;s 2009 triennial showcase of contemporary talent. He has partici pated in various large-scale exhibitions in France\, such as La Nuit Blanch e in Paris and Le Printemps de Septembre in Toulouse\, and has presented hi s work at various institutions including CAPC Bordeaux\, the Museum of Mode rn Art Paris\, the Foundation Vasarely\, La Villa Arson\, Contemporary Art Museum Huston\, Outpost for Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, Bielefelder Ku nstverein\, Germany\, Al Riwaq Art Space\, Bahrain and The Museum of Modern Art in Algers. In 2011\, Baghriche participated in the 54th Venice Biennia l as part of &ldquo\;The Future of a Promise\,&rdquo\; and recently exhibit ed at the Gwanju Biennale and in the Dakar Biennial in 2014. In 2015\, he w ill present work at the Armory Show in New York\, along with Lamia Joreige through Taymour Grahne Gallery.
In 2014\, Baghriche was invite d to Los Angeles as an artist-in-residence in Paris at your home\, a partne rship between Mains d&rsquo\;Oeuvre in Saint‐Ouen\, France and Machine Proj ect in Los Angeles.
Baghriche holds a national diploma of fine arts from La Villa Arson in Nice\, France\, a BA in Dramatic Arts from Nic e Sophia Antipolis University\, France\, and a Master&rsquo\;s degree in mu ltimedia creation from The National School of Fine Arts in Paris\, France.& nbsp\;
This exhibition is the product of a residency supported by the Institut Franç\;ais.
William Pope.L: Trinket is an exhibition of new and recent work by the Chicago-based artist\, an
essential figure in the development of performance and body art since the
1970s. The exhibition will be installed in the soaring spaces of the Geffen
Contemporary at MOCA and is comprised of large-scale installations\, and f
eatures a new performance and sculpture work made specifically for the exhi
bition. The centerpiece of the show is Trinket\, a monumental\, cu
stom-made American flag (approximately 50 x 20 feet) hanging on a pole in t
he middle of the Geffen. During the museum's public hours the flag will be
blown continuously by four large-scale industrial fans - the type used on H
ollywood film sets to create wind or rain effects - and will be illuminated
from below by a bank of custom theatrical lights. Over time the flag will
appear to fray at its ends due to the constant whipping of the forced air\,
a potent metaphor for the rigors and complexities of democratic engagement
and participation. This is the largest museum presentation of Pope.L's wor
k to date.
William Pope.L: Trinket is curated by MOCA Senior Curator Bennett Simpson.
In-kind media support is prov ided by KCETLink.

What if an art exhibition were an exercise\, and the preparations toward a process of common exercising between artists\ , ideas\, hosts and curators? Would it shift how we understand development and time&mdash\;the time of making and of experiencing? For the exhibition at REDCAT\, Anna Craycroft and Mark Vives have been invited to work collabo ratively in an experimental project titled \;The Wilson Exercises em>. The repeated interactions between the two artists will lead to the dev elopment of a collective language through riffs\, point/counterpoint dynami cs\, and provocations. Through a back-and-forth process of exchanges betwee n their two distinct fields of expertise\, the artists will explore novel p rocesses of learning in the real-time space of the exhibition.\n

On November 29th\, the gallery will present its fourth exhib ition of the work of Dan McCleary. In 2009\, LA Times art critic Christophe r Knight observed that McCleary has &ldquo\;a clear-eyed sense of gravity t hat recalls the likes of Piero della Francesca.&rdquo\;\; His paintings usually contain two or three figures in everyday moments of Southern Calif ornia life\, such as sitting at a nail salon or ordering drinks at a coffee shop\, but his compositional structure has the solidity and balance of fin e architecture. McCleary employs classical methodologies and devices like t he golden mean\, as well as the traditional building blocks of design: cube \, sphere\, cylinder and cone. In fact\, in one painting entitled Thera py\, two people are considering a cluster of small cubes on a table as if\, like the artist\, they are contemplating the formal role these object s play in the larger composition. He always works from life\, staging his m odels and props in his studio where they are illuminated from a single natu ral light source from the left\, like the majority of Vermeer&rsquo\;s pain tings. McCleary also physically engages the viewer by orchestrating scenes with tables that invite one&rsquo\;s approach\, or empty chairs that projec t into the foreground\, a technique masterfully executed by Caravaggio in h is Supper at Emmaus.\n
In addition to the ex hibition at Craig Krull Gallery\, Dan McCleary will be the subject of a mid -career survey\, Dan McCleary: Every Day Sacred.

When Danae Falliers explored the extraordinary\, Rem Koolhaa s-designed\, Seattle Public Library\, she photographed the building and its endless stacks and shelves of neatly organized books. Due to the relativel y low lighting conditions\, all of the text along the book spines softly di sappeared\, and Falliers recognized that her library photographs had edged closer to pure abstraction. She decided to pursue the potential of this dis covery by digitally enhancing and manipulating a group of new library image s\, blurring the book edges and re-assembling assorted rows of books of var ious colors and thicknesses. Rather than framed and captured in the mode of traditional photographic practice\, these images are constructed. They are fabricated using elements of color and form in the manner of a geometric a bstract painter or sculptor. Not surprisingly\, Falliers acknowledges the c onceptual and formal influences of three seemingly disparate artists\, Gerh ard Richter\, Ed Ruscha and Bridget Riley\, whose works she references in s craped blurs\, the use of books\, and the stripes of Op Art.DTEND:20150117 DTSTAMP:20141128T144530 DTSTART:20141129 GEO:34.0276049;-118.4678444 LOCATION:Craig Krull Gallery\,Bergamot Station 2525 Michigan Ave. Building B-3\nSanta Monica\, CA 90404 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:library\, Danae Falliers UID:365671 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTEND:20141213T180000 DTSTAMP:20141128T144530 DTSTART:20141213T160000 GEO:34.0276049;-118.4678444 LOCATION:Craig Krull Gallery\,Bergamot Station 2525 Michigan Ave. Building B-3\nSanta Monica\, CA 90404 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:library\, Danae Falliers UID:365672 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:

Concurrently on view in the Th inkspace project room is Persona\, featuring new works by San Fran cisco based artist Adam Caldwell. A technically impressive painter who has mastered a multiplicity of styles\, Caldwell constructs his narrative works as one might a theatrical collage\, juxtaposing disparate elements to crea te beautifully disjunctive and thought provoking mise-en-scè\;nes. Wi th an interest in art historical precedents\, philosophy\, and contemporary culture\, Caldwell creates intelligent\, historically ambiguous works that examine themes such as political conflict\, gender and identity. Combining painterly gesture with hyperrealistic elements\, his surfaces are dense an d rich with contrast. Expressionist moments are drawn against the graphic\, and figurative detail is set against atmospheric expanses.\n
Caldwell has an attentive hand for the detailed impe rative of portraiture. The artist is drawn to the intimate depiction of sub jectivity\, rendering tenebrous portraits that seep intensity\, and at time s\, emotive discomfort. His darkly portraits are arresting glimpses into th e possibility of multiple symbolic &ldquo\;selves&rdquo\;\; frames unto an endless array of human masks and roles. \;DTEND:20150103 DTSTAMP:20141128T144530 DTSTART:20141213 GEO:34.031982;-118.37656 LOCATION:Thinkspace\,6009 Washington Blvd. \nCulver City\, CA 90232 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Persona\, Adam Caldwell UID:365403 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTEND:20141213T210000 DTSTAMP:20141128T144530 DTSTART:20141213T180000 GEO:34.031982;-118.37656 LOCATION:Thinkspace\,6009 Washington Blvd. \nCulver City\, CA 90232 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Persona\, Adam Caldwell UID:365404 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:
Thinkspace (Los Angele s) - is pleased to present Remnants\, featuring new works by Houston based artist Kevin Peterson. An accomplished hyperrealist paint er\, Peterson captures the intimacy of highly detailed portraits set agains t the anonymous urban sprawl of the cityscape. With an attentive psychologi cal subtlety\, he creates works that are emotive\, introspective\, and haun ted by the suggestion of narrative. The contradictory pairings in Peterson& rsquo\;s paintings are deliberately staged\, heightening a sense of irresol ution and poetic tension. He often portrays children and wildlife in gritty urban graffiti marked spaces\; antithetic pairings that deepen our sense o f the subjects&rsquo\; dislocation. Despite this cultivated uneasiness a qu iet optimism prevails in Peterson&rsquo\;s imagery\, as his portrayals of t he displaced\, faced with imperfect or degraded urban environments\, retain their innocence in spite of their worn surroundings. Suggesting both survi val and the triumph of the individual&rsquo\;s strength\, his works are emp athetic portrayals of the meek. As the title of the exhibition suggests\, P eterson offers us glimpses into the aftermath and detritus of unknown trial s and tribulations.\n
Peterson complete d a BFA at Austin College in Sherman TX\, in conjunction with a psychology degree. His highly detailed paintings are primarily oil on panel\, though a t times the artist incorporates mixed media elements as well. A sense of so litude permeates his works\, as the protagonists are generally isolated and seemingly suspended in a dream-like state\, highlighted by the marked abse nce of others. Innocence coexists with wear and urban exhaustion in these p aintings\, a connotation of use the artist builds through beautifully rende red graffiti elements and stark urban architectures. The presence of a disp laced nature\, often in the form of wild itinerant bears or hyenas\, is an equally erroneous element staged within abandoned industrial spaces and deb ris. Each opposing element works as a foil to its polarity: the wild vs. th e urban\, innocence vs. degradation\, sadness vs. hope\, effectively captur ing a sense of the psychological conflict\, and human struggle\, inherent i n the existential journey.\n
Remnan ts is Peterson&rsquo\;s second solo exhibition with the gallery. With a firm poetic allegiance to the underdog\, the artist continues to find bea uty in tension and opposition\, uncovering redemptive possibilities in the face of restriction\, assumption and boundary. \;DTEND:20150103 DTSTAMP:20141128T144530 DTSTART:20141213 GEO:34.031982;-118.37656 LOCATION:Thinkspace\,6009 Washington Blvd. \nCulver City\, CA 90232 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Remnants\, Kevin Peterson UID:365401 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTEND:20141213T210000 DTSTAMP:20141128T144530 DTSTART:20141213T180000 GEO:34.031982;-118.37656 LOCATION:Thinkspace\,6009 Washington Blvd. \nCulver City\, CA 90232 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Remnants\, Kevin Peterson UID:365402 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:

- Ole Miss' Deterrian – formerly D.T. – Shackelford hopes to make the most of his his rare sixth season of NCAA eligibility.
- The Advocate's Scott Rabalais writes that LSU's new quarterbacks will bring a Johnny Manziel-like quality to the Tigers' offense that didn't exist when Zach Mettenberger was under center.
- Texas A&M's Manziel has agreed to an endorsement deal with Nike, by the way.

Here are a few storylines to watch this spring in the Western Division. Edward took a look at the Eastern Division on Monday.
Start date: March 16

What to watch:
Start date: March 16
Spring game: April 20
What to watch:
- Battling complacency: Alabama is gearing up for yet another title defense. Will complacency finally rear its ugly head? Not if Nick Saban has anything to do with it. The head coach will no doubt remind players of the targets on their backs and what little they've accomplished as presently constituted.
- Opening up the passing game: The return of AJ McCarron, coupled with a talented, deep crop of receivers, could mean a more wide-open passing game in Tuscaloosa. If true freshman tight end O.J. Howard develops as some expect, the offense could become even more dynamic.

Portage Pitbulls find pigskin heaven
Atom team thrilled to win title at flashy, new stadium
At first, surrounded by the gleaming steel and crisp turf of Investors Group Field, Portage Pitbulls pivot Andrew Stasiuk felt a twinge of nerves.
He wasn't the only one who felt that way among the kids of the Manitoba Minor Football Association's atom championship game. But when the kick-off came on Sunday afternoon, those nerves channelled into the joy of the team, and the play.
Wearing the crowns
Five football champs were crowned over the weekend, as the top teams in the Manitoba Minor Football Association, Midget Football League of Manitoba and the Manitoba Major Football League faced off at Investors Group Field. After the final whistle blew on Sunday evening, the 2013 amateur football champions are:
MFLM: The St. Vital Mustangs stampeded by the North Winnipeg Nomads 39-12 to claim the midget football championship.
MMFL: The Fort Garry Lions wrested the major football league trophy from the defending champion East Side Eagles in a tight 17-14 win.
MMFA Atom (ages 9-10): In a rural Manitoba showdown, the Portage Pitbulls surged to a second-half comeback win over the Eastman Raiders, 52-34.
MMFA Pee Wee (ages 11-12): The Fort Garry Lions capped their undefeated season with a 24-16 win over the St. Vital Mustangs.
MMFA Bantam (age 14): The North Winnipeg Nomads' stout defence shut out the Fort Gary Lions 22-0 en route to the championship.
"I was sort of nervous before, but when I got on the field and played I was fine," Stasiuk said, cheeks ruddy from victory and the whipping wind. "Everybody plays together, and we all care about each other."
The final, a rural Manitoba battle between the Portage team and the Eastman Raiders, marked the first time in the Pitbulls' decade-long history the atom squad went all the way to the MMFA final. Even better, they took it all the way, rolling back from a deficit to win 52-34.
When they won, the kids raised their trophies towards the stands, towards the noisemakers bleating encouragement from a parental sea of Pitbull green. The parents were elated; the teammates always believed.
"It was kind of shocking in the first quarter, when they were winning," running back Colby Irwin said. "So when we came back it felt so great. We all can play hard, and when we work together as a team, we can win any game we play."
So went the first game of the second day of the football championship weekend, which saw five teams walk in as contenders and walk out as champs. The atom final was a rural matchup, you don't get those a lot, and loads of folks from both the Steinbach area and Portage came out in support.
"I said, 'there'll probably be lots of tractors in the parking lot today,' " quipped Pitbulls head coach Miles Irwin.
Hey, that's just fine by the MMFA. The rural atom final was a good thing for the Pitbulls, for the Raiders and the league.
"We really enjoyed it," MMFA president Richard Dudek said. "We're very appreciative that both those teams showed up and worked their way through the season... we often think of rural teams not being the same, and today certainly disproves that quite a lot."
There is a hopeful note there on league-building: MMFA participation has plateaued in recent years, Dudek said, with roughly 2,000 kids involved this season. Sometimes kids' interest in football seems tied to the performance of the local pro team, he said -- and while kids flocked on Sunday to get autographs from Bombers such as Kito Poblah, they have, ahem, come up a little short.
Here's something, though: Dudek watched in the morning, when the seven- and eight-year-old kids of the Old Dutch Crunchers arrived for their fun games at IGF. Their eyes were wide as saucers. Sure, the old Polo Park facility was loved, in its way. But this new one is still bright with possibility.
"I think there's room for more potential in the event itself," Dudek said. "This is sort of our showcase. I think of this as another new opportunity."
That's about the future though, about what comes next. For now, with another season in the books, it's time for the MMFA volunteers and coaches and athletes to enjoy a little rest -- and for some teams, to savour the wins. The Fort Garry Lions peewee squad, for instance, capped their undefeated season on Sunday with a championship trophy, battling past the St. Vital Mustangs for a 24-16 victory.
"We had a lot of good players, and really came together as a team," quarterback Duncan Jowett said of his squad, which came together as something of a fusion. This year, the La Salle Lightning didn't have enough players to field a peewee team, so about nine kids made the drive into the city to practice with the Lions every day. The group clicked from the get-go, from a tough defence to a stalwart offensive line.
One of them, linebacker Joseph Benoit, was named Lions MVP and defensive player of the game on Sunday, after he stood strong despite a severely bruised hand.
