Well she does have what looks like a rangefinder/targeter for a monocle...
That's Bronislaw Czevak, I guess you COULD say he's a heretic.
But does it run on Promethium?
Looking sexy. Though it might just be me, but his mouth is abit too long, if ya know what I'm sayin'.
Well, particularly, Kronus, Ultimate Apocalypse, and 8Pmoon. They don't seem to have the zoom fix. :P
These Necron look better than some of the actual Necrons. xD
How come the 1025 size maps are not apocalypzed?
If only I could do such things with only a strong will to win. xD
The Kantrael Short pattern has no scope on it, the Voss Pattern is pretty short too, no stock included by default afaik.
To roam forever?
Just replace the arms with a more Tau-look, and everyone else is happy I guess.
Actually, why not just have a Crisis Battlesuit with builder arms? I'd keep the flamer on him though.
"Mothership Core online..."
To think that they just throw these out like nothing.
How do I get the massive line of sight?
I wish ModDB would just process the ******* patch already.
It's still processing >__<
He cries as he watches the Imperial Guard turn into ****.
You know, that being a railgun, it looks more like an anti-starship cannon.
This looks so bad I thought it was a Khornate engine from the thumbnail.
You forgot the Tech mayan golems.
They're called powersuits, hardsuits, or exosuits.
While not really mech or mecha, you could still technically group them in.
Why...? Just....why?
There goes the Imperial Guard.
This really does not look like concept art. What's going on guys? :D
Wow, big difference.

Project Update – October 2014
The causeway overpass, part of the Deltaport Terminal, Road and Rail Improvement Project (DTRRIP), is now open! The first component to be built, the new overpass will improve safety and enhance operational efficiencies at Deltaport by eliminating the delays and congestion caused by the existing at-grade rail crossing at the west end of the Roberts Bank causeway. DTRRIP is a series of improvements to the existing Deltaport Terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, BC, and is on schedule for completion by the end of 2016. The remaining three key components include on terminal improvements, additional rail and road improvements to Deltaport Way.
To read the update from July 2014, please click here.
Deltaport, at Roberts Bank in Delta, BC, is the largest container terminal in Canada, with a current capacity of 1.8 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit containers). Current road and rail constraints limit the capacity of Deltaport to meet forecast demand for additional container movements.
As part of the Container Capacity Improvement Program, Port Metro Vancouver has worked with the Province of BC and Deltaport operator TSI Terminal Systems Inc. to develop a plan to upgrade existing infrastructure that would increase Deltaport's container capacity by 600,000 TEUs, to a total of 2.4 million TEUs.
The Deltaport Terminal, Road and Rail Improvement Project (DTRRIP) is an efficient and cost-effective plan to increase container capacity through improvements to existing port infrastructure. Project improvements will be implemented mostly within the existing terminal, road and rail footprint and will have a low potential for environmental impact. Work will not occur within the marine environment.
The project has four key elements:

As I was driving to work on Wednesday, there were many cars in the ditch in various states of disarray. Despite the fact that we were passing cars that were upside down, laying on their side or simply stuck, cars continued to race by in the passing lane. It struck me as odd that these speedsters did not realize that it is the people going fast that are really slowing traffic down. If you go from the valley to downtown, it is about 8 miles, give or take. If you go 55 mph it will take you 8 minutes and 42 seconds to get to town (distance = rate * time).
Farmer Brown goes out to his field one day and shoots his best bulls. That season calf production is off a bit and the calves produced are a little less healthy. Next year, he does the same and calf production and survival again drop. The third year he repeats it with results both predictable and alarming.
So he goes to his agriculture agent and complains, "them wolves and bears are killing all my calves!"
It is shocking to read that a deadly exotic disease from Europe has now been reported in wild Pacific salmon in British Columbia and could spread North to Alaska and South down the Pacific coast. Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) is a fish farm flu which is a listed disease requiring notification to the World Organization for Animal Health — like bird flu, swine flu, rabies and mad cow disease. How this lethal disease was allowed into North Pacific waters is a lesson in madness and greed.
Michael Wilson, national director of Americans for Democratic Action, misstates a key fact in his opinion piece on the Boeing-NLRB dispute that the Juneau Empire published on Oct. 14. Boeing has not shifted work from a union shop in Washington state to a non-union shop in South Carolina. Boeing built a new factory in South Carolina to produce three 787 airplanes per month above and beyond the seven per month it plans to produce in Everett, Wash. No work was moved, no facilities were shuttered, no workers were laid off.
As a contributor and reader I am disappointed to hear you are discontinuing L'attitude. Judging from comments I heard around town a fair number of readers appreciate the publication. It has certainly been appreciated by writers and photographers. I'm assuming the decision to cease publication is a financial one.
If this is the case, I encourage you to offer something as a substitute, perhaps a page or two per month in the Empire, or better yet, some fraction of a page every week.

A planning process underway at the state presents some pretty stark options for the future of transportation in Southeast Alaska. Under one of the prominent alternatives being explored, a traveler from Haines to Ketchikan would take the following route: ferry from Haines to a new terminal in Katzehin, drive the new Lynn Canal Highway to Auke Bay, ferry to Kake, drive a new road to Petersburg and then on to the southern end of Mitkof Island, ferry to Wrangell then to Coffman Cove, drive to Hollis and likely spend the night on Prince of Wales, and finally ferry to Ketchikan.
Thank you for your coverage regarding the anti-Pebble initiative on the October Lake and Peninsula Borough ballot. Alaskans have been told that 80 percent of the region opposes the project and I was surprised to learn that nearly half of the local borough supports it. The results clearly contradict what Alaskans have been led to believe in the ongoing battle over resource and economic development in southwest Alaska.

Regarding the Empire's outside editorial from the Kansas City Star that appeared in Tuesday's edition: The editorial reiterates the recent assassination attempt, on U.S. soil, of the Saudi Arabian ambassador. This editorial quotes an unnamed White House official as stating the United States "doesn't tolerate the targeting of foreign diplomats on our soil."
Well, that statement is OK enough, except it apparently doesn't apply to the United States when we're doing our assassination plotting in foreign countries.
The issue of alcohol abuse is now on the front burner in this valley. I believe one of the most significant steps we can take, is to offer life-saving information and education to turn this around.
Within the past 110 years or so, there were key people that have permanently altered our entire world for the worse:
It has always been curious to me that municipalities and organizations rarely save up money beforehand to do special projects, and pay cash for them. What usually happens is a bond issue is "forced" upon taxpayers, upon which the municipality goes into debt for the project and taxpayers pay, as part of bond retirement, millions of dollars in interest — on top of the project cost.

Community asked to stuff bus with school supplies
The Walmart Supercenter in Epping will hold a "Stuff a Bus" drive on Saturday with help from Epping Boy Scouts and Fire Department Explorers.
People are encouraged to drop off backpacks, pencils, pens, notebooks, crayons and other items that children can use at school.
The goal is to fill a mini bus provided by Seacoast Learning Collaborative with supplies.
"With school supplies I imagine it will be a lot of smaller items," said Cliff Cray, a committee member who works with Epping Boy Scouts and also serves as an advisor for the Epping Fire Explorers.
"It seems like there are a lot of kids who don't have what they need to have when they start school. The school can only supply so much," Cray said.
"It's amazing the amount of stuff people will donate when they find out it's for a good cause," Cray said.
"Some of the teachers even take out of their own pockets to buy the items," Book said.

The landmark Fernwood Hotel and Convention Center in the Poconos has closed.
About 60 employees received text messages this week telling them the facility Bushill was closed and informing them that they were instantly out of work.
The closure, affecting the Fernwood Hotel, on-site restaurants, game room and convention center, is part of a major remolding plan, said Jim Ertle, president of Fernwood Hotel and Convention Center.
Not affected are the snow tubing hill, golf course and timeshare villas that are owned by the Bushkill Group.
A full renovation of the facility, including the 127 hotel rooms behind the convention center, will modernize the place. There are plans for electrical improvements. The place will be configured similar to its current layout but updated.
The long-vacant original hotel next to the side parking lot will be demolished as part of the improvements.
There were plans to renovate when the Ertles acquired the hotel in December 2011, and some work was done while guests were present. But the level of work that needs to be done will be too disruptive for guests.
The work also must be financed, which Ertle says was always the plan, but in 2011 the hotel was unable to secure a loan.
Banks are now loosening up financing for the hospitality industry, Ertle said, and he expects to have financing in place to move forward with the renovation shortly.
"We're looking to open back up in the summer," Ertle said.
One employee, Mary Folk of Bushkill, a head server at one of the restaurants, said, "I'm furious. I don't have a job now. This is not how you let people go."
"A whole lot of open mouths, dropped jaws," is how Keller described the scene at the Fernwood Hotel on Monday.
Many who received the text telling them Monday would be their last day on the job said they were told to seek employment elsewhere.
The Fernwood website does not mention it is closed, but does mention renovations happening in 2013.
Try to book a room online and a message appears: "This is an invalid or inactive offer" and offers a phone number to call for help with a reservationist.
A live person then answers and explains the hotel is closed and reservations are not being taken.

Drought Worsening Across Key Midwestern StatesSPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - The nation's worst drought in decades is worsening in other key Midwest farm states, but Illinois growers aren't likely to complain about what's going on in their state. The U.S. Drought Monitor's weekly update shows 60 percent of the land in the lower 48 states is experiencing some degree of drought. That's down less than a percentage point from the previous week.
In Illinois, 42 percent of the state is in some form of drought. But unlike much of the Midwest, none of Illinois is in the two worst drought classifications. All of Marion, Fayette, and Clinton Counties are said to have returned to normal soil moisture conditions. Parts of Jefferson, Washington, Clay and Wayne Counties still have some areas in the abnormally dry category, the least severe listing on the drought monitor. Those are the same conditions listed in last week's drought monitor.
The U.S. Agriculture Department says Illinois corn and soybean growers have virtually wrapped up their harvests and nearly all of the winter wheat crop in Illinois is now in the ground. Three-quarters of that crop has emerged.

page 2 - V-8 Family Feud
With the new Camaro still in the embryonic stage, the Ford and Chevy faithful cross swords with the Mustang and Corvette.
By December 12, 2006 / Photos by Marc Urbano
But when the Mustang and Camaro went at it again during the mid-1980s performance renaissance, it was Ford's turn to prevail. The late-model Mustang's combination of aggressively low pricing, stout performance, ease of modification, durability and daily practicality overcame the more expensive Camaro's superior road-holding, swoopy looks and squeaky build quality. So while an entire generation of enthusiasts had grown up knowing nothing would supplant the small-block Chevy's dominance, Ford's Mustang out-sold the Camaro right into the guardrail.
Today the rivalry is in flux. With the Camaro taking an extended shower, Chevrolet fans lack an affordable entrant, rallying instead around the more sophisticated Corvette and its neo-exotic Z06 derivative. Blue Oval fans revel again in the Mustang's success, which has regained Dearborn's primacy on the street largely on the shoulders of the overhead-cam modular V-8s. There simply is no other classic American performance car besides the Mustang at the moment.
Understandably, Mustang sales are robust, and its vast enthusiast base has proved that although trucks and front-wheel-drive compacts may beckon, America's popular performance engine is fueled by affordable front-engine, rear-drive V-8s in reasonably compact cars.
In this article editors Andy Bornhop and Doug Kott examine the current protagonists in America's classic automotive rivalry, the Mustang GT, Mustang Shelby GT500, Corvette and Corvette Z06. All are thoroughly modern performance cars, but fundamentally different in character. The Mustangs are outstandingly more affordable, more practical and more popular. The Corvettes champion thoroughbred performance, trading mass affordability for flagship excellence.
Don't expect this situation to remain static. Already Ford has end-run Corvette-and perpetual third-place Dodge by releasing the exotic Ford GT in a short, but alas, now finished production run. Chevrolet is busy countering with an all-new Camaro, a fact Ford faithful should welcome as a very useful, breed-improving bad guy. A new rear-drive, 400-plus-horsepower Impala SS is rumored and exciting big-inch, naturally aspirated performance engines have been hinted at for the Mustang.
Like the Mustangs and Corvettes tested here, each of these future cars will be a hero to the faithful and a villain to the guy in the other lane. Tom Wilson

My Dog Is As Smelly As Dirty Socks
And Other Funny Family Portraits
How do you draw your smelly dog? Your playful daddy? Your yummy mommy? See how one girl does it in this simple, clever picture book that's comprised of family portraits made out of objects. For example, her baby brother is so noisy—he's as loud as a whistle, a horn, and even a fire truck!—that she creates a picture of him with whistles for eyes, a horn mouth, and holding a fire truck. After the girl has described everyone in her family (including herself, in great detail), she asks, "What does your special family look like?" encouraging readers to create their own portraits. With a list of objects at the end of the book to use as a guide, this is the ideal choice for budding artists everywhere.
Here's a wonderful exploration of simile and metaphor for young readers. And don't miss the companion book My Best Friend is as Sharp as a Pencil!

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at email@example.com.
Weyerbacher are no strangers to experimentation. Their regular lineup is fairly eclectic, their anniversary beers are giants, and they have long had a series of offbeat brews only available at their brewery in Easton, PA. Tarte Nouveau, however, marks the first time they've played with the somewhat unusual berlinerweiss style. Coming in at a miniscule 2.9 percent ABV, many beer drinkers will look right past this one. Their loss. This light yellow beer tells you it's different from the first time your nose passes close to the glass, giving off a sharply tart aroma tinged with wild grass. A sip of the light body reveals lemon-touched sourness, fruity yeast undertones, and a little bit of Earthy funk. A dry, tart finish closes out each sip with a snap. This is a beer built for warm days. You're likely to see this one just once, so grab it while you can at Sidecar.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
So, I would like to get started using the VSE here and we have got Megan and let's go ahead and listen to the first few seconds of the intro here. (Male speaker off camera: Two, one...) (Megan: Welcome to Garden Spot.) So you here the prompter go ahead and count down and we obviously want to cut that as a roll-up. So right around frame 63 is a good place to cut it and we'll make sure that we catch her on a good smile and all that kind of good stuff. So right there, looks like a great spot, so okay, frame 45.
So all you need to do to cut strips is simply select the strip and I'm going to go ahead and Shift-click the audio strip as well, so that we are always keeping the audio and the video in sync and press K. It just cuts the strips at the current frame. Now go ahead and listen to the video and the audio. I'm going to change the Time Code here, from Seconds down to Frames by pressing T and around frame 1050 or so, and I need to set my ending frame to 1600, because that's the length of the strip as we see over here in the Edit panel.
Actually it's about 1617. We also need to make sure that we have synced up our frame rate and the actual audio frame rate. So, we come over here to the Render Format settings and make sure that this is set to 24 frames per second. That will make sure that whatever we write out is synchronized with the audio as well. So right around Frame 1000 or so, she starts talking about a spider. (Megan: My favorite was this spider who's eye was staring right into the camera...) All right, so right around here, around frame 1050 or so, let's go ahead and set a marker and we are going to add the marker and then we rename the marker to be spider.
So this would our spider overlay, and that's how you do markers. But first we need to get rid of this green screen, so we select the video strip and go ahead and Add > Effect > Plugin and select the greenscreen plug-in. Click to drop that plug-in in place and then come over here and configure the plug-in to be active. Take in a DV41 and giving us a nice background color. That's looking pretty good. Now, what we want to do is overlay this picture of the spider.
So to add an image, all we need to do is Add > Image and pick the image. Let me go ahead and click the spider from your Library of the images under Garden Spot, and that brings it in and then it's rubberbanded to your cursor. So we can just drag it right over here to about frame 1050 and click to drop it in place. Now a neat way to extend the edge or the length of the strip, by default this will be displayed for 50 frames. We want to display it for about 200 frames.
All we have to do is right-click on the arrow on the right-hand side and then just drag it right on over to the right and end it up around 1250 and then click to drop it in place. So, now the spider completely overtakes the whole video and that's good for a little bit to show the spider picture, but eventually we want to fade this over into the background and reveal Megan again. So what we want to do is we want to transform this image. Transform, we just right click on this image strip, and Add > Effect > Transform.
Now there is quite a few different effects here. I'm going to go over the Transform effect in detail, because that's pretty essential and also the Alpha Over, but go ahead and feel free to experiment with these other effects as well. The Transform effect, once you click and select it from the menu, you have to drop it in place, because you can also change the channel that's on. But I want it to be on this channel, so I'm just going to drop it here on channel 6. Now the Transform has an Effects panel, every effect has an Effects panel, so all of the changes here reflect how you want this transform to start at the beginning of the strip and then how you want it to end.
So, let's go ahead and scale this image, down from being full size, down to something say half size. So we are going to enter 0.5 there, press Tab and Tab again, and 0.5 again. Next we can shift or offset the image as well, from the start to the end. So let's go ahead and offset it from let's say 1 to about 30 on the X and about 25 on the Y. So press Enter and then we can see that's where the image ends up.
Finally we can now Alpha Over by selecting the greenscreen, then Shift+Select the Transform and to do that, we do the Shift+right-click. Then once we have those two strips selected, go ahead and Add > Effect > Alpha Over and drop it in place there, and now we can see the spider next to Megan. Now we can animate this Transform effect by using the IPO curve, as I discussed earlier. So we can go ahead and click here at 0 and then about half way, click at 0 again and then up here around 75%, go ahead click 1 so that it has a full effect.
Now, the Transform effect has zero effect at the beginning of the strip, and then as we proceed through, it fades nicely back over and back over into the corner. (Megan: Watch out for this one!) (Megan: Our next viewer, Mark Thompson of Irvine, California, writes...) Then finally, as this strip is over, the whole Transform and the Alpha Over drops off and we are back just to our basic strips. Finally we really don't want that beginning strip of the countdown to be either shown or have the sound come up, so we want to mute those strips.
So that's basically working with the Video Sequence Editor, to give you a quick overview and the essentials of working with the VSE, to both apply effects and cut strips and as well as move them around and layer them on top of one another to provide professional video editing results.

Where are we going and what kind of people are we becoming? Herewith, a roadmap to the defining trends in sexuality, family, and relationships for the coming millenium as charted by the former chair of Harvard's psychiatry department. From the still-rollicking sexual revolution tothe painful battle for sexual equality to the reorginization of the family, America is in for some rather interesting times ahead.
Has the sexual revolution been sidetracked by AIDS, and the return to traditional values we keep hearing about? In a word, no. The forces that originally fuelled the revolution are still in place and, if anything, are intensifying: mobility, democritization, urbanization, women in the workplace, birth control, abortion and other reproductive interventions, and media proliferation of sexual images, ideas, and variation.
Sexuality has moved for many citizens from church- and state-regulated behavior to a medical and self-regulated behavior. Population pressures and other economic factors continue to diminish the size of the American family. Marriage is in sharp decline, cohabitation is growing, traditional family values are on the endangerd list, and the single-person household is the wave of the future.

i am a scorp girl and my guy is a big squishy cancer. i am barely a year older than him, but i think ive been through a lot more. my past is lined with long term relationships. but one of them (7 yrs off and on) worries my boyfriend a lot lately. not the ex, but just the relationship itself.
i love him more than any other guy, i know its deep and reeeaal wich is what ive been waiting for and i want him to know this. i guess i just have to let life do its thing and not stress too much, but i dont want to loose this one.
any advice? input? little ideas to make my crab feel secure and happy?
i love him more than any other guy, i know its deep and reeeaal wich is what ive been waiting for and i want him to know this. i guess i just have to let life do its thing and not stress too much, but i dont want to loose this one.
any advice? input? little ideas to make my crab feel secure and happy?
Unsu...Well you obviously love him so the give him lots of love. And let him know how much you truly care for him. Tell him the Truth and stay loyal. I'm a cancer and that makes me feel secure. Knowing the truth lots of love knowing that you care and being loyal. Cancers are intuitive and can feel this with out it really being expressed. But it still needs to be expressed.
if your relationship is deep and real and you don't want to loose him. You can't just let life do its thing. Scorpios are a fixed sign. Fixed signs see things to its completion. Cancers are cardinal signs. Cardinal signs are starters that can sometimes leave things unfinished. See to it that the both of you together make it to your desired destination.
For myself i am truly in love with a Scorpio women (mind, body, heart and soul). I feel closer to her more than anyone else i know. I can't let go of her that would be like ripping my own heart out. The same heart she has possession of. She posses it all and thats how i like it.
So for me it has to be expressed for me to feel secure. I also need her fixed quality in order for all our dreams to come true. Being in love with her and our deep and real connection is the easy part. That will last forever.
All the best to you and your big squishy cancer. I'm the warm cuddly adoring kind.
well said, well said.
i guess sometimes i have a hard time giving as much loves as maybe he needs? not sure. but i just dont trust people that easy, it takes a lot of time and effort for me to let someone in all the way. ive read several times that cancers will never be able to give a scorpio the love and expression that they demand.
so then i hold back in worry. viscious cycle!
Unsu...I understand what you mean and I can see why it worries you. Take your time with him and give him a chance to prove himself to you. There is a lot of negative stuff about Cancers that i've read about and don't relate to. For me i have endless passion for my Scorpio. I have no problem with expressing my love for her. It feels really good when i do it and I love to do it. I will do anything for her to ease her worries and pain. Knowing she is in any kind of distress kills me inside, so i try to do whatever i can for her.
be a little possessive, jealous and snarky. not like crazy... but we like feeling as thought we're adored/lusted for/treasured
be friendly with his mother
share meals together
be kind to animals
introduce him to your family
pay special attention to the "little things"
share "in-jokes" & secrets that only the two of you know
love all-ways,

The race for an at-large seat on Charlottesville City Council continues to expand.
On Wednesday, Charlottesville School Board member Kathy Galvin announced she will enter the race. She has served on the school board for four years and now says she's ready to share her insight with a broader group.
The Democrat is calling for a more efficient City Council. An architect, Galvin says it's time to finish projects that are taking too much time away from other issues.
"I think we need to step back and serve a visionary role, which is the intention behind being an elected official. By being visionary, we can become extremely intentional about where we want to put our investments," she explained.
Galvin is the sixth candidate to enter the race. She joins James Halfaday (D), Bob Fenwick (I), Scott Bandy (I), Brandon Collins (I) and incumbent Satyendra Huja (D).
Current councilors Holly Edwards and David Brown are not seeking re-election, which leaves three seats open.

It all started with this pretty brocade dress I posted a couple of months ago (http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/brocade-dress-for-easter) . Since then, the same client has requested several garments made of brocade fabric. I've made shorts, skirts and a two-piece outfit for her, shown above. I think it's a beautiful fabric and has a luxurious look and feel. I also think she's obsessed with it. LOL
Has anyone worked with this fabric lately? If so, what did you make? If you posted it, let me know. I''d love to see it.

Actor Tommy Chong earns 'Lifetime Award' at film festival
This past weekend marked the 12th year of the New Hampshire Film Festival. It was the film festival's most successful year so far, drawing in around 10,000 film enthusiasts from all over the Northeast to downtown Portsmouth. The Festival used venues throughout downtown Portsmouth, including The Music Hall, The Music Hall Loft, the Seacoast Repertory Theater, and the historic Moffatt-Ladd House.
The 10,000 festival attendees had access to a wide array of events, including film panels and workshops with industry insiders, question and answers sessions with directors, and after-parties hosted at some of Portsmouth's finest restaurants.
The festival screened 102 films, presenting a colorful selection of genres including short films, documentaries and feature length films. These films represented filmmakers from more than 30 countries, according to Programming Director Nicole Galovski.
One of the festival's honored guests was Tommy Chong, recipient of the 2012 New Hampshire Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award and writer, director, activist, actor, and Grammy Award winning musician, famous for his portrayal of the "far-out" character of Leo on Fox's "That '70s Show."
Before Mathew McConaughey was "Dazed and Confused," or Harold met Kumar, or Seth Rogen was even in a movie, there was Cheech and Chong.
Cheech Marin and Chong made up the original drug humor comedy team responsible for writing what is considered the "Holy Grail" of stoner films, "Up in Smoke." Released in 1978 by Paramount pictures, "Up in Smoke" was Cheech and Chong's first film. Bringing in over $100 million, it became the top grossing comedy of 1978.
According to the directors of the New Hampshire Film Festival, the lifetime achievement award is given to "an individual who has made extraordinary contributions to both the world of film and the New Hampshire Film Festival."
Chong was presented his award at the film festival's opening ceremonies hosted by The Music Hall on Friday, Oct. 12.
The New Hampshire Film Festival celebrated the life and career of Chong with a special screening of "Up in Smoke," followed by a brief question-and-answer session with Chong, at the Music Hall Loft on Saturday, Oct. 13.
"Up in Smoke," directed by Lou Adler, tells the story of two stoners who fortuitously meet when a guitar player, played by Marin, picks up a jobless, hitchhiking drummer, played by Chong. The duo, bonded by their love of music and pot, set out on a road trip across California in search of marijuana, while being pursued by a group of incompetent cops looking for their first big bust.
After the screening, Chong talked with the audience about the process of writing and editing "Up in Smoke." Chong recounted the disastrous first screening of the film to executives.
"It was so bad that Paramount didn't want to release it," Chong said. "When you do a bad screening, it's like being at a funeral and you're the casket."
Adler, Chong, and Cheech went back to work right after the screening. If they wanted to please the executives, they would have to find an alternative ending, which even Chong admitted was "the biggest rip-off for an audience that it could be."
Chong commented that there was "nothing worse than saying it was all a dream." Although it had a less than promising first screening, "Up in Smoke" went on to be Paramount's most successful film in 1978, and became a counterculture cult classic that was a "big hit in drive-in theaters."
Chong was one of many celebrity guests who took part in the Portsmouth festivities this past weekend. Mike O'Malley, most famous for his role as Burt Hummel on Fox's hit series "Glee" and a UNH alum, also attended the festival in promotion of his film "Certainty," which made its New Hampshire debut on Thursday, Oct. 11 at the Music Hall. The New Hampshire Film Festival awarded O'Malley with the Van MacLeod award, an award given each festival to an outstanding member of the film industry.

In introductory text for "Agayuliyararput: The Living Tradition of Yup'ik Masks," a major Alaskan exhibit that toured the country in the late 1990s, the traditional purpose of Yup'ik masks is loosely described as a way to make "the unseen world visible."
Juneau has been selected by the John. F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., as the 11th city in the country for their Any Given Child program, an initiative designed to bring equity and access to arts education for children in grades K-8
Through Any Given Child, Kennedy Center staff will work with a local team to develop a long-range plan for strengthening local arts resources. The goal is for the Juneau School District, arts groups, the business community and others to work together to create the strongest opportunities possible for kids.
One of the challenges of children's books, says local author Susi Gregg Fowler, is the lack of control the writer has over the final product, particularly in terms of the illustrations. Authors and illustrators, usually selected separately by the publisher, often have no interaction at all during the creative process.
True creative collaboration, common in the performing arts, can be hard to achieve in the visual arts. You don't often see two artists working on the same painting or sculpture, for example, unless it's a mural or public art project.
If you're a Harold Pinter fan, you know why the arrival of his play "Betrayal" on the Perseverance stage after 33 Pinter-less years is an exiting theatrical event for our arts community. This Nobel Prize-winning writer is widely considered to be one of the most influential English dramatists of the past century; upon his death in 2008, the Guardian wrote that his only serious rival in that regard was Beckett.
In Alaska, the historical interactions between Native and non-Native cultures, particularly the long-term suppression of Native traditions beginning in the late 1880s, is a fertile topic for many artists.
Downtown Juneau is generally considered to be the center of the city's art scene: the state and city museum are downtown, as are most of the art galleries and performance spaces, and a hefty majority of our public art, including most of our totem poles.
But while downtown may be the hub for viewing art – essentially the last stage of artistic creation — the University of Alaska Southeast campus out at Auke Lake is the hot-spot for learning to create it, a twin pole to downtown's busy gallery scene.
The shifting mists of Juneau aren't immediately apparent in the work of local artist Rob Roys, but they are suggested in some of his paintings — in the way he layers paint, charcoal and graphite, in his muted color schemes, and in the broad washes of white he sometimes uses, partially obscuring the layers of painting underneath.
"I think it fits," Roys said of this style. "Juneau is definitely part of who I am and my art. I'm happy with it."
Notable Alaska-related books published in 2012 include "The Snow Child" by Eowyn Ivey, a fiction book that garnered national attention, and "Haa Léelk'w Hás Aaní Saax'ú / Our Grandparents' Names on the Land," an atlas of Southeast Alaska Native place names compiled over years of research and interviews with elders.
The following list of books includes titles that have an Alaska connection, either through their authors or their subjects. The roundup, our third annual, is not intended to be exhaustive, and includes only those books published or reissued in 2012.
When you meet someone in their mid-90s who's got plentiful laugh wrinkles, sparkling blue eyes and a spring in his step, it's worth finding out more about how he's chosen to live his life.
Dean Williams, who celebrated his 95th birthday earlier this month, doesn't present his approach to life as a model for others, but in listening to his stories about his experiences, certain common elements become clear, attitudes that seem to have helped him garner happy memories and few regrets.
Here are four unsanctioned pieces of wisdom gleaned from a recent conversation.
