Push: Madison vs. Madison (#104)
Madison Park Vocational High School, Boston, Massachusetts. This documentary film chronicles the stories surrounding the players of an inner-city high school basketball team over the course of a potentially historic season. It is as much about the challenges facing inner-city youth and the public school system, as it is about a school's passion for basketball and a coach's devotion to his players. The Madison Park Cardinals are a dysfunctional, but talented high school hoops team, sprung up from the Boston streets and playgrounds. For the players on the team, basketball is oftentimes their escape, their crutch, and their way forward. In the center of this kettle of hope and chaos is Coach Dennis Wilson, a unique hero for our times.

Skydance (#107)
The Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center: for more than 120 years, Mohawk ironworkers have raised America's modern cityscapes.

Has 'sky walking' replaced an ancient rite of passage? Or is it the pure need to adapt in order to survive? And what is their life really like, when every Friday at quitting time, they jump in their cars and make the eight-hour drive up north to their families on the reservation? SKYDANCER is a feature length documentary that takes a provocative look at Indian life in the 21st Century: from the fragile hierarchy on top of the breath-taking steel structures in New York City to life 'on the Rez' where problems like unemployment and crime make it hard to see the pristine beauty of the surrounding lands.

All Me: The Winfred Rembert Story (#113)
With his intensely autobiographical paintings depicting the day-to-day existence of African Americans in the segregated South, Winfred Rembert has preserved an important, if often disturbing, chapter of American history. His indelible images of toiling in the cotton fields, singing in church, dancing in juke joints, or working on a chain gang are especially powerful, not just because he lived every moment, but because he experienced so much of the injustice and bigotry they show as recently as the 1960s and 70s. Now in his sixties, Rembert has developed a growing following among collectors and connoisseurs, and enjoyed a number of tributes and exhibitions of his work. The artist relives his turbulent life, abundantly visualized by his extensive paintings and, in a series of intimate reminiscences, shows us how even the most painful memories can be transformed into something meaningful and beautiful. A glowing portrait of how an artist, and his art, is made, the documentary is also a triumphant saga of race in contemporary America. [86 minutes]

U.S. health care and culture is examined through this young man's lens, which also explores both his and family's dreams. Many immigrants in the U.S. aspire to achieve the American dream and this Latino family comprised of immigrants to second-generation Americans is no different. As subjective as the barometer of reaching this goal is, the film begs the ultimate question: who attains their American dream? [91 minutes]

When Mike and Kitty marry and sell the longtime family home, Doug returns to suburban Long Island with camera in hand for one last visit. And there, among the lifetime of memories being packed away forever, he discovers 3 large boxes filled with his moms' daily diaries going back 35 years. Realizing he has only a few short weeks before the movers come and his dad will be gone for good, the veteran documentarian sticks around, determined to investigate the mystery of his parents' marriage. Through increasingly candid conversations with family members and friends, and constantly surprising diary revelations, Doug finally comes to peace with two parents who are far more complex and troubled than he ever imagined.

A passionate Brooklyn-born Muslim, Sharif El-Gamal sees Park51 as a centerpiece of his own Muslim American identity.

Despite a principle goal of helping to rebuild Lower Manhattan, opposition to the plan has been virulent and non-stop. Thousands of Americans have rallied against the prospect of a Muslim institution being constructed in such proximity to Ground Zero, and Park51 has become an internationally discussed symbol of Islam's relationship to the Western world.

Radio Unnameable (#202)
Legendary radio personality Bob Fass revolutionized late night FM radio by serving as a cultural hub for music, politics and audience participation for nearly 50 years. Long before today's innovations in social media, Fass utilized the airwaves for mobilization encouraging luminaries and ordinary listeners to talk openly and take the program in surprising directions. Fass and his committed group of friends, peers, and listeners proved time and time again through massive, planned meetups and other similar events that radio was not a solitary experience but rather a platform to unite communities of like-minded, or even just open-minded, individuals without the dependence on large scale corporate backing. Radio Unnameable is a visual and aural collage that pulls from Bob Fass's immense archive of audio from his program, film, photographs, and video that has been sitting dormant until now. Revealing the underexposed world of independent radio, the film illustrates the intimate relationship Fass and, by extension, WBAI formed with their listeners that were strong enough to maintain the station's role as one of the most successful listener-sponsored programs in the United States.

The New Public follows the lives of the ambitious educators and lively students of Bed Stuy's new Brooklyn Community Arts and Media High School (BCAM) over the course of the founding year, with the filmmakers returning three years later to again document the senior year of that first graduating class. Beginning in August 2006, just days before BCAM will open its doors for the first time. Dr. James O'Brien, former D.J. and point guard turned first-time principal, and his faculty of eight, take to the streets in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn to recruit students. Their enthusiasm is infectious and enticing: strong support for the individual student, a rigorous academic curriculum and unconventional arts electives taught by local artists. While at first running smoothly, as months go by, conflicts arise, and by the end of freshman year, the school's idealistic vision is addressing some issues, but aggravating others. Flash-forward to September 2010, the first day of senior year, the school is complete with 4 grades and 450 students, with a faculty that has grown from 8 to 50. Of the 104 students in their founding class, almost half have transferred or dropped out, leaving a senior class of 60 and only 30 on track to graduate. BCAM has made major adjustments, most notably, more disciplinary structure and no arts electives for seniors. What happens in the 4 years is both compelling and frustrating, and it's what makes The New Public a critical document of the complexities, frustrations and personal dramas that put public education at the center of national debate. What makes a kid or a school succeed are a series of complicated, interconnected dynamics, including, a re-evaluation of how we define success. The program includes a conversation with Host Natasha Del Toro and special guests about issues raised in the film. [116 minutes]

Chronicling the opinions and reactions of patients, growers, politicians, activists, and community members on both sides of the issue, the story paints an image of what happens when federal and state governments clash with communities in the crossfire,and the individuals involved who ultimately pay the price.

Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (#206)
Once known as the California Riviera, the Salton Sea is now called one of America's worst ecological disasters: a fetid, stagnant, salty lake, that coughs up dead fish and birds by the thousands in frequent die-offs that occur. However, amongst the ruins of this man-made mistake, a few remaining eccentrics (a roadside nudist, a religious folk artist, a Hungarian revolutionary, and real estate speculators) struggle to keep a remodeled version of the original Salton Sea dream alive. Accidentally created by an engineering error in 1905, reworked in the 50's as a world class vacation destination for the rich and famous, suddenly abandoned after a series of hurricanes, floods, and fish die-offs, and finally almost saved by Congressman Sonny Bono, the Salton Sea has a bittersweet past. The film shares these people's stories and their difficulties in keeping their unique community alive, as the nearby cities of Los Angeles and San Diego attempt to take the agricultural water run-off that barely sustains the Salton Sea. While covering the historical, economic, political, and environmental issues that face the Sea, PLAGUES AND PLEASURES offers an offbeat portrait of the peculiar and individualistic people who populate its shores. It is an epic western tale of fantastic real estate ventures and failed boomtowns, inner-city gangs fleeing to white small town America, and the subjective notion of success and failure amidst the ruins of the past. [86 minutes]

At the film's historical center is an analysis of the massive impact of the national urban renewal program of the 1950s and 1960s, which prompted the process of mass suburbanization and emptied American cities of their residents, businesses, and industries. Those left behind in the city faced a destitute, rapidly de-industrializing St. Louis , parceled out to downtown interests and increasingly segregated by class and race. The residents of Pruitt-Igoe were among the hardest hit. Their gripping stories of survival, adaptation, and success are at the emotional heart of the film. [56 minutes]

With dreams of his own business, and a wife and two young sons to support, he turns to a simple job - driving a taxicab.

Elite education was Andre's way up and out, but at what price? Yes, the exorbitant tuition was covered, but this new world cost him and his family much more than anyone could have anticipated. In The Prep School Negro, Andre takes a journey back in time to revisit the events of his adolescence while also spending time with current day prep school students of color and their classmates to see how much has really changed inside the ivory tower.

Deputized (#218)
In the aftermath of a senseless hate crime, an all-American town finds itself desperately seeking answers: What really killed Marcelo Lucero? In a deceptively peaceful Long Island town just before midnight on November 8, 2008, 37-year-old Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero is assaulted by a group of teenaged boys cruising the streets "beaner-hopping," a term used to describe the decade-long ritual of attacking Latinos for sport. The adolescent ?game? comes to an end with the fatal stabbing of Lucero, exposing a thinly veiled systemic intolerance for immigrants. Seventeen-year-old Jeffery Conroy, a popular high school athlete, is sentenced to 25-years for a hate crime, while the other teens get 5 to 8-years behind bars. [60 minutes]
Come Hell or High Water: The Battle for Turkey Creek (#219)
Come Hell or High Water: The Battle for Turkey Creek follows the painful but inspiring journey of Derrick Evans, a Boston teacher who moves home to coastal Mississippi when the graves of his ancestors are bulldozed to make way for the sprawling city of Gulfport. Over the course of a decade, Derrick and his neighbors stand up to powerful corporate interests and politicians and face ordeals that include Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil disaster in their struggle for self-determination and environmental justice. [83 minutes]
Dignity Harbor (#220)
One of nine documentary nominees for the 2012 Student Academy Award, Dignity Harbor chronicles a group of homeless people living in an encampment along the Mississippi River in downtown St. Louis. In the shadow of the Arch, several makeshift communities - Hopeville, Sparta, and Dignity Harbor - are erected when work begins to fill the tunnels under Tucker Boulevard, displacing many homeless. In Dignity Harbor, the self-appointed mayor promises a safe environment - women are especially to be welcomed - and the residents work cooperatively to cut wood and build rudimentary shelters. But conflicts inevitably arise, tempers occasionally flare, and everyone struggles to survive the harsh St. Louis winter. Although the utopian dream finally dies for good when the city bulldozes the shantytowns, not all is lost, with several of the residents moving to more permanent housing. [56 minutes]
Reserved to Fight (#221)
In May 2003, Fox Company of Marine Reserve Unit 2/23 returned home from front-line combat in Iraq. Reserved To Fight follows four Marines of Fox Company for four years through their postwar minefield of social and psychological reintegration into civilian life. The return to their communities proves as formidable a battle as the more literal firefights of previous months. Living among loved ones who don't yet understand them and how they have changed, contending with a media focused on the politics rather than the human experience of war, and suffering from a psychological disorder that is difficult to acknowledge, these young veterans grapple to find purpose and healing. [86 minutes]
Broken Heart Land (#222)
On an early autumn afternoon, in his parent's ranch in Norman, Oklahoma, gay teen Zack Harrington killed himself with a gunshot to the head. One week earlier, Zack attended a local city council meeting in support of a proposal for LGBTQ History Month in his bible-belt town. When the floor was opened up for public comment, some community members made highly controversial statements equating being gay with the spread of diseases such as HIV and AIDS. Against the backdrop of a town bitterly divided on the issue of homosexuality, Zack's grief-stricken parents, both conservative Republicans and military veterans, are forced to reconcile their own social and political beliefs with their son's death. Determined to understand Zack, they discover a private diary, which paints a gripping portrait of a boy in crisis. Ultimately, they discover a chilling secret that Zack kept hidden for almost two years, which leads them to some painful conclusions about their son's life and death. When an outspoken conservative citizen runs for City Council, the Harringtons decide to join a politically active group called "MOMS: Mothers of Many" (mainly comprised of local mothers of LGBTQ youth). Over the course of the local election season, we witness Zack's family, once private and politically conservative, come out of their own closet, moving from private denial to a climactic and very public acceptance of their son's legacy.

Purgatorio (#301)
Reyes' provocative essay film re-imagines the Mexico/U.S. border as a mythical place comparable to Dante's purgatory. Leaving politics aside, he takes a fresh look at the brutal beauty of the border and the people caught in its spell. By capturing a stunning mosaic of compelling characters and broken landscapes that live on the US/Mexico border, the filmmaker reflects on the flaws of human nature and the powerful absurdities of the modern world. An unusual border film, in the auteur tradition of camera-stylo, Purgatorio ultimately becomes a fable of humanity, an epic and visceral experience with powerful and lingering images. [87 minutes]
Trash Dance (#302)

[86 minutes]

Shell Shocked (#307)
New Orleans, Louisiana has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the United States. For the last decade, statistics have shown murder rates four to six times higher than the national average. Eighty percent of the victims are black males, mostly in their teenage years. This is the city's greatest neglected crisis with profound implications for the issues of violence and crime most American cities face. New Orleans government, law enforcement, community leaders, and well-intentioned citizens cannot agree on a prognosis or a solution to this situation. Wherever a disagreement is escalating into violence, an execution is being planned, or a victim is taking his last breath, it is more than likely a youth is witnessing or carrying out these actions. SHELL SHOCKED attempts to bridge the gap of this disconnect by hearing the ideas, opinions, and testimonies from activists, community leaders, police, city officials, youth program directors, family and friends of victims, and the children who live in these violent circumstances. We are looking for positive solutions to an extremely negative situation. Currently screening in film festivals around the country, SHELL SHOCKED has been utilized by many different mentoring and advocacy programs, city officials, schools, and churches as a tool to start the dialogue needed for children and young adults living in difficult situations to begin to find a way out. In May 2013, it was used by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during his visit to New Orleans as a bridge in the gap of the disconnect between his message and New Orleans' youth culture, and is also being included in the 2013 National League of Cities Exposition in Seattle. SHELL SHOCKED is the recipient of the Cultural Spirit Award at the 2013 New Hope Film Festival, and the winner of the 2013 Chicago International Social Change Film Festival. It is currently being implemented into a national prison education initiative called Jail Education Solutions, which provides prisoners with positive, educational alternatives to their everyday television programming. [56 minutes]

Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson's journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it. [58 minutes]

Cambodian Son (#320)
Born in a refugee camp in Cambodia, poet Kosal Khiev was lucky to escape the wartorn country before he was two years old. Granted asylum, Khiev grew up in the U.S. with his mother and siblings. By the age of 16, he was convicted of attempted murder and spent the next 14 years in jail-including 18 months of solitary confinement in the New Folsom State Prison in California. Fatefully, during his time in solitary Khiev experienced a breakthrough that forged his path to freedom. In jail, he found writing and spoken-word mentors and upon release became a student/participant in the inaugural class of "The Actors' Gang" led by Artistic Director and Founder Tim Robbins. As a refugee with no permanent resident status in the U.S., however, Khiev was deported to Cambodia, a country he's never known. "How do you survive when you belong nowhere?" The documentary follows a year in the life of Khiev, while he navigates his new fame as Phnom Penh's premiere poet and receives the most important invitation of his career-to represent the Kingdom of Cambodia at the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. Later he visits France for the first time where his life comes full circle and he faces a past he never dreamed of. [89 minutes]

From rehabilitation patients to Paralympic athletes, our cameras captured the reality of broken boundaries and common goals among all who are active. We went rock climbing with the blind, played soccer with quadriplegics, and swam with those with muscular dystrophy, to name a few.

If You Build It (#322)

Living on credit and grant money and fighting a change-resistant school board, Pilloton and Miller lead their students through a year-long, full-scale design and build project that does much more than just teach basic construction skills: it shows ten teenagers the power of design-thinking to re-invent not just their town but their own sense of what's possible. [89 minutes]
Where God Likes to Be (#323)
Where God Likes to Be focuses on three young protagonists full of hope and promise-Andi Running Wolf, Edward Tailfeathers, and Douglas Fitzgerald-following them over the course of a summer that marks a turning point in all of their lives. Each grapples with whether to leave, pursuing opportunities far from home, or stay behind with friends and family potentially struggling with limited opportunity and marginalization. A picture emerges of the Blackfeet Indian reservation as a cherished home that nurtures identity. [86 minutes]
By the River of Babylon: An Elegy for South Louisiana (#324)
An Elegy for South Louisiana looks at the disappearing culture and environment in Southwest Louisiana: its marshlands and man's calamitous engineering mistakes, and the unique habitat that gave rise to the Cajun and Creole, music, culture and people left in its wake. With compelling footage and expert commentary from Bob Marshall, a local Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, among others, the film documents the facades and interiors of a good number of famed but decaying dance halls. Riveting performances by leading Zydeco proponents such as Clifton Chenier and Beau Jocque are juxtaposed by thorough and thoughtful explanations such as the rapacious dredging of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet through wetlands to give oil tankers direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana, a major source of energy for the nation, is being destroyed bit by bit and the region's eco-system and marshland continues to be damaged by flooding due to both storms and river reconstruction. Like the famed music of the region, the documentary is both a love letter and a lament over the destruction of the region and by association, the decline of its culture and way of life. [58 minutes]
A Self-Made Man (#325)

East Lansing � The first decision felt like a weight off his shoulders. The second one felt like added weight, and it was.
But for Michigan State sophomore guard Gary Harris, that�s a relief, nonetheless, as he looks stronger, feels healthier and says he�s eager to shoulder a bigger load for a team that�ll begin this season with a top-five national ranking.
Tuesday was media day at Michigan State, and most of the talk centered on the lofty expectations, which coach Tom Izzo did little to quell. He says he feels better about this team�s prospects than any in the last decade, going all the way to the 2000 national championship team and the Final Four squad that followed it.
And Izzo�s players, as you�d expect, feel the same.
�Go big or go home,� said Harris, the Big Ten freshman of the year after averaging nearly 13 points in an injury-plagued debut last season. �I just feel like those are our expectations. �
�I mean, we have the talent and the tools. That should be the goal. That�s what we want to do. We want to win a national championship. And I feel like if we don�t reach that, we will have failed.�
It�s a realistic goal, certainly, with four starters returning from a team that went 27-9 and advanced to the NCAA regional semifinals. The Spartans have a veteran core, a deep bench and a pair of likely first-round NBA draft picks in forward Adreian Payne and Harris.
Sticking around
Both players considering going pro last spring, but decided to stay. Only for Harris, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard and former McDonald�s All-American out of Indianapolis, that difficult decision followed a more painful one in April.
Harris suffered the first in a series of shoulder injuries last November, and he spent the rest of his freshman season in and out of the training room. On and off the court, too, as his shoulder popped out of place more times than he cares to remember. He�d go up for a layup or a dunk, and he�d come down favoring his shoulder. He�d dive for a loose ball or reach for a steal and come away wincing. If it happened once, it probably happened a half-dozen times.
�He played hurt the whole year,� Izzo said. �He just didn�t tell anybody.�
He didn�t have to, really. They all knew, and there were plenty of discussions about how to handle it. Harris decided against having surgery during the season, opting instead to play through the discomfort with treatment and rest. And a fair bit of apprehension, which is why Izzo said more than once last spring, �You have not seen the Gary Harris I recruited yet.�
We will this season. That�s the expectation, at least.
When his freshman season finally was over, after a disappointing Sweet 16 loss to Duke in which Harris admittedly got �schooled� by Seth Curry and partially dislocated the shoulder again, there was another decision to make.
Two, actually.
After consulting with specialists, Harris again opted for rest and rehab over surgery, skipping summer all-star camps and spending 5-6 days a week strengthening the muscles around his shoulder joints, among other things.
About the same time, he decided to pass on the NBA draft despite being projected as a potential lottery pick as maybe the third- or fourth-best shooting guard on the board behind Ben McLemore (Kansas) and Victor Oladipo (Indiana).
�That was my dream, so at times I was like, �This is what you�ve been waiting for, so why pass it up?� � Harris said.
Yet at other times, he says, he�d ask himself, �Are you just trying to get to the NBA, or are you trying to stay in the NBA? What are you trying to do?�
A different Harris
What he�s trying to do now is make the most of this opportunity at Michigan State, something his teammates can�t wait to see.
�It was pretty tough for him last year,� said Denzel Valentine, Harris� roommate and a fellow sophomore guard. �There were times where he really just played through it and a lot of people would�ve just quit.
�But I think you�ll see a different Gary this year. You�ll see a more confident player that�s healthy. When you�re hurt, you kind of hold back what you can do.�
An ankle injury suffered in late August held him back earlier this fall, but Harris is back practicing now and says he�s feeling great, from head to toe.
Izzo jokes about NBA scouts telling him Harris is �illegal� and �un-American� because he�s a shooting guard that�s also an elite defender. He calls his backcourt tandem of Keith Appling and Harris the �two best defensive guards in the country.�
But it�s at the offensive end � and in transition � that a healthy Harris, along with a more-confident Branden Dawson, now 18 months removed from his torn ACL, where the Spartans should get the biggest boost.
�I think we should be a team that can run, run, run and run,� Izzo said.
The shoulder concerns forced Harris to be more of a spot-up shooter last season, and he did shoot better than 41 percent from 3-point range. But much like Dawson, Harris is at his best when he�s slashing to the basket, attacking the offensive boards, and getting out in the open court, all of which he expects to do this season. Finally.
As he put it Tuesday, �It�s time to showcase my whole game.�
As his coach says, it�s time to see the real Gary Harris.

Apartments in Atlanta, GA
Guide to Atlanta
Atlanta Apartments For Rent
Southern belles walk alongside high-powered executives – and perhaps even a zombie or two. Modern, elegant skyscrapers share the same space as historic antebellum plantation homes. Atlanta is unlike any other city – it's progressive and modern, yet traditional and steeped in history. It's a city where giant corporations are next door to quirky restaurants and out-of-this-world art galleries. It's the land of Falcons and Hawks, Gone with the Wind and the Walking Dead. It's a city that is a diverse kaleidoscope of busy days and "Hotlanta" nights. Before you rent an apartment in Atlanta, get to know the layout of the city – from its unique neighborhoods to its trendiest hangouts.
Things to Do in Atlanta
Think you'll be bored in Atlanta? Think again! Your new apartment in Atlanta will open up a whole new world – a Southern menagerie consisting of sports events, amazing museums, historic sites, and beautiful parks. Be sure to visit the Fernbank Museum, Zoo Atlanta, the High Museum of Art, the World of Coca-Cola, Woodruff Park, and the Georgia Aquarium – the largest aquarium in the world. Catch a concert, art show, or other event at Piedmont Park or at the legendary Fox Theater. Be inspired by the laser light show at Stone Mountain Park. Cheer on the Falcons and the Atlanta Braves, and be sure to check out local hotspots such as the Vortex, Eddie's Attic, the Laughing Skull Lounge, and the exclusive fine dining at Bacchanalia.
Those who love a good scare and beautiful locations can enjoy both at Bellwood Quarry – this location's other-worldly beauty made it the perfect filming location for a chilling scene from the Walking Dead. If the 1.9-billion-gallon water reservoir surrounded by sheer granite walls doesn't inspire you, perhaps the waterfalls at Cloudland Canyon, the lush beauty of Calloway Gardens, or the stunning vista from atop Brasstown Bald – the highest point in Georgia – will.
What to Consider When Moving to Atlanta
Atlanta is considered a "World City" and ranks 15th in the world and sixth in the nation with a GDP of about $270 million. The city is home to CNN, the CDC, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and the headquarters of several major corporations – including Home Depot, Turner Broadcasting, Newell-Rubbermaid, Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, Cox Enterprises, the Weather Channel, AT&T Mobility, and UPS.
Known as the "Hollywood of the South," Atlanta boasts numerous movie and television studios, including Pinewood Studios, Jacoby Development, Tyler Perry Studios, Triple Horse, and EUE/Screen Gems. Atlanta is a "camera ready" state with over 30,000 working professionals and has been the location of more than 800 film and television projects since 1972. The film industry has also increased tourism, with visitors coming to the city for bus and walking tours.
Why Atlanta Apartments Are Hot:
Atlanta offers everything from exclusive, five-star restaurants to family-friendly diners. The shopping is legendary, from the Lenox Mall to Phipps Plaza to Atlantic Station. It has perfect weather, with an average temperature of 72 degrees. The city features several distinctive neighborhoods, from trendy Little Five Points to upscale Buckhead.
But Atlanta has that secret ingredient … the "something extra" that makes this city stand out. Perhaps it's the top rated colleges such as Georgia State University, the University of Georgia, Kennesaw State University, Emory University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Or perhaps it has something to do with the rich history you'll discover at places like the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Carter Center and Presidential Library, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, the Civil War Museum, and the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum. Perhaps it's the beauty of the city, discovered in places like Centennial Olympic Park, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and Grant Park. Or maybe it's the plethora of outstanding events, including Music Midtown, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival, Dragon Con, and the Atlanta Film Festival. No matter what it is, there's no doubt – apartments in Atlanta are hot!

MP launches attack after Rugby League World Cup games moved from Whitehaven
Last updated at 11:40, Thursday, 26 April 2012
An MP has launched a furious attack on local government regeneration chiefs after west Cumbria lost the chance to host the 2013 Rugby League World Cup due to plans for a new £5.5 million stadium stalling.
Related: World Cup games pulled from Whitehaven
Copeland has withdrawn as a host venue for the tournament after talks over access to a proposed new stadium in Whitehaven collapsed.
Copeland MP Jamie Reed has called the situation a "humiliating shambles" and has warned Copeland and Cumbria County Council they are in danger of squandering a historic opportunity for an economic renaissance in west Cumbria on the back of the £2bn Britain's Energy Coast plan.
"Britain's Energy Coast is the best hope we've got of delivering on our ambitions for west Cumbria," he said. "Those in local government, whether in the borough or county council, need to be honest about what they can achieve. There's no place for amateurism in the development of west Cumbria. Those not up to it should get out of the way and leave it to those who know how to do it.
"I think the stadium will happen, but we are going to miss the World Cup which would have brought real recognition and investment to the area. The chance has been squandered and people will want to know why.
"It's about credibility. I believe that all partners involved have to look at themselves and admit why this went wrong and ensure it doesn't happen again.
"This is the last chance saloon and more embarrassments like this will not be tolerated."
The group behind proposals for the Pow Beck scheme pulled the plug on the project in its current form after talks over access to the proposed site broke down.
The scheme's backers – Copeland Borough Council, Whitehaven Rugby League Club and Whitehaven Amateur Football Club – insist the idea is not dead and the stadium could still be built.
But they say it is not "feasible or affordable" to continue with negotiations with the Whitehaven Miners' Welfare Association about an access route to the stadium across land the miners own. The miners say they are not to blame and have called for an inquiry.
In a joint statement, the Pow Beck stadium partners, said: "Following a meeting on Tuesday night we have agreed unanimously that it is no longer affordable nor feasible to continue negotiations with the Whitehaven Miners' Welfare Organisation and will instead look to develop the stadium in a new direction.
"The partners will continue to work together to move the stadium forward but will no longer be exploring the option of access over the Whitehaven Miners' land. Positive discussions about other options for the development have already taken place and the partners are pleased to now be moving forward.
"Partners recognise their new approach will lead to a delay in the project being completed but believe it will ultimately help secure the sustainability of the project. As a result the opportunity to bring the 2013 Rugby League World Cup to Whitehaven is lost and the RFL has been advised of this.
"The partners are pleased that Britain's Coast continues to support the stadium and look forward to working more closely with them, our nuclear partners and the RFL to make the stadium a reality."

Have your say
Elise what are you talking about rugby non existant ? we have some of the best rugby league amature clubs going last season had the 9s comp with them doing very well its the council that has let this world cup bid pass us by just like asda.but a better club is needed if Haven need to progress, and its things like a whitehaven bypass that will not help any growth in the town but pass us by. i dont know why the council were trusted to plan a stadium when theyv made a complete pigs ear of the town
Rugby like most things in Whitehaven is non existant; other cities and towns have an ability to look beyond the present and not the past. A all round facility such as the one in Hexham would have made all the difference; something for all. Once again Cumbria really is on the back foot; and when the lights are turned off remember to close the door as well.

Water Based Paints
Water-based paints represent the future of automotive coatings, and they're here for you in dozens of eye-catching colors! Water-based automotive paints don't use solvents as carrying agents, so they don't release noxious fumes into the air. You'll find that water-based car paint are highly compatible with urethane primers, paints and clears. For instance, our Auto-Air Colors depend on a urethane primer and clear to produce a complete, durable finish. Though water-based paints have been around for a while, they're becoming more popular as people seek to comply with increasingly demanding environmental standards. Fortunately, water-based car paints work well with urethane primers and modern lacquers with lower VOC content.

Life Preserver/9.2
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
THIS PAGE IS CHANGING FOR 9.2The built-in Life Preserver utility
Life Preserver is not the only way to make a backup. For example, you may find it easier to drag and drop the files/directories that you wish to backup to an external device, such as a USB drive, using one of the file manager utilities listed File Managers. You can also find a few PBIs of backup utilities using AppCafe®. The advantage of Life Preserver is that it allows you to easily schedule backups of your home directory to a backup server.
Creating a Backup Schedule
A shortcut to the Life Preserver utility, seen in Figure 8.19a, can be found in the system tray. This icon is animated and will indicate when a backup is taking place.
If you right-click the icon, the menu provides options to minimize (if the Life Preserver window is open), to perform a restore (if a backup exists), to start Life Preserver whenever the current user logs in, or to quit (remove the icon from the tray).
To start the backup wizard shown in Figure 8.19b, double-click the icon, or click Control Panel ➜ Life Preserver, or type life-preserver at the command line.
Once you click the "Get Started" button, the "Add New Life Preserver Wizard" will launch, allowing you to configure a backup. Click "Next" to see the screen in Figure 8.19c:
You will need to input the following information:
Host Name: of the remote system that will store your backup. If the backup server is on your local network, the host name must be in your hosts file or in the database of the local DNS server. You may find it easier to instead input the IP address of the backup server as this will eliminate any host name resolution problems.
User Name: this user must have permission to log in to the system that will hold the backup. If the account does not already exist, you should create it first on the backup server.
SSH Port: port 22, the default port used by SSH is selected for you. You only need to change this if the remote system is using a non-standard port to listen for SSH connections. In that case, use the up/down arrows or type in the port number.
Once you click the "Next" button, you can decide whether or not to schedule regular backups, as seen in Figure 8.19d:
By default, automatic backups are disabled, meaning you will have to manually start a backup when you wish to do so. If you decide to automate backups, you can choose to backup daily or weekly. After making your selection, click "Next" and you will see the informational message in Figure 8.19e:
Click the "Finish" button and a terminal will open where you can enter the password for the user account you specified, as seen in the example in Figure 8.19f:
If this is the first time using SSH to connect to this host, you will have to type yes to accept the RSA key fingerprint before being prompted to type in the password. If the connection is successful, the terminal will close and your new preserver will be listed in the main panel, shown in Figure 8.19g:
The entry contains the following information:
Backup Server: will indicate the user account and IP address of the backup server.
Last Backup: will indicate whether or not there is a last backup and if there is a successful backup, the time and date of that backup. If you chose to automate backups, the first backup will happen immediately. Otherwise, a backup will not occur until you press the "Start" button. How long the first backup takes depends upon the size of your home directory and the speed of your network. If the backup is unsuccessful, logs can be found in /usr/local/share/lifePreserver/preservers/<preserver_name>/logs/. This post[3] explains the meaning of the various characters found in the logs.
Frequency: will indicate "disabled", "daily", or "weekly".
Status: Running… indicates that the backup is occurring now, otherwise it will show as Not running.
The backup will be stored on the remote system in the home directory of the user that was used by Life Preserver to login. The contents of the backup will be found in the life-preserver/<backup>/ subdirectory where <backup> is named according to the date and time stamp of the backup. The contents of the directory will mirror the directory structure of your home directory, making it very easy to find and restore individual files or directories from the backup server to your PC-BSD® system.
Configuration Options
If you right-click a preserver and select "Edit", you will see the configuration screen shown in Figure 8.19h.
This screen allows you to configure the following:
Number of backups to keep: make sure that there is enough disk space on the backup server to store this amount of backups. If you do daily backups, a setting of 7 will keep a week's worth. If you do weekly backups, a setting of 4 or 5 will keep about a month's worth.
Remove incomplete or failed backups: by default, Life Preserver attempts to conserve disk space on the backup server by removing any failed backups. Uncheck this box if you are troubleshooting Life Preserver.
Disable automatic backups: if this is selected, a backup will only occur when you manually press the "Start" button.
Backup daily: if this is selected, a backup will occur once per day.
Backup weekly: if this is selected, a backup will occur once per week.
Remote directory: a subdirectory with the name you specify will be created in the home directory of the user that logs in to the SSH server. This is the location where backups will be stored. The default subdirectory name is life-preserver.
Modify include list: provides a graphical List Editor, seen in Figure 8.19i, for adding files/directories to include in the backup.
Modify exclude list: opens the List Editor in order to add the files/directories to exclude from backups.
When using List Editor, it will indicate whether or not you are editing the include or the exclude list. Use the browse button to select the files or directories that you wish to include or exclude. Alternately, you can type in a wildcard. For example, to select all files ending in the .txt extension, input *.txt.
Restoring a Backup
To restore files from a backup, right-click the preserver entry and select "Restore From". Life Preserver will query the backup server and show a list of available backups as seen in the example in Figure 8.19j:
When reading the backup name, the number before the "T" is the date in YYYY-MM-DD format and the number after the T is the date stamp in HH_MM_SS format. Highlight the backup you wish to restore and click the "Select Backup" button to open the window seen in Figure 8.19k:
If you wish to restore an individual file or directory, input its full path. In the example shown in Figure 8.19k, the user is restoring the directory /usr/home/dru/Documents--in other words, the Documents subfolder backed up from the home directory of the user named dru.
If you just input the name of the file or directory and click the "Restore" button, it will be restored to its original location and replace any files with the same name at that location.
If you instead check the "Restore Relative to specified directory" box, the selected file/directory will be restored to the location you specify.

Too small
I liked the look of the dress but the fit was way too small. I ordered a size 8, my normal size, but it fits so snugly I don't even know if a 10 will do. This is the first time I've ordered from Metrostyle so maybe that's how the sizes run. Disappointed. I'll be returning it.

Black & White Polka Dot Dress
True to size, simple dress. Paid $19.99, worth the price so buy it.
St. Thomas, VI
Not as pictured
I ordered this dress as I love polka dots. The Belt is not as pictured, the large dots from the bottom of the dress are at the end of the belt. So I have a big gob of dots in the middle of the front, looks stupid. Dress is great though.
It fits but...
I really like the way this dress looks but it flares at the bottom! The fit is true (I am a 14 and the 16 was too big). I plan to have it altered since there were no 14's left.

Incredible Dress!!!!
Received this dress a few weeks ago, but just wore it for the 1st time on 5/9. WOW!!! The fit is perfect. I am usually a 4, but it was not available so I got a 6 (I'm 5'8 and weigh about 140lbs). The dress is fitted through the bust, waist, hips and behind, and then the skirt just falls to an A-line and doesn't cling tight like a pencil skirt would. It is perfect!Falls just above the knee. I ordered the orange dot and was complimented ALL DAY about how great it looked. Very classy, modern and feminine.I love this dress!

Fabulous & Classy Dress
I bought this dress to wear to my daughter's high school graduation. I bought it in yellow and can't wait to buy it in black. Received lots of compliments. I paired it with white strappy sandals and I clipped a yellow flower in my hair. I looked fierce. Love this dress. I was worried about the size from reading a previous review but it is true to size & length.

Wow of a DRESS
Was so happpy to get this dress- it is BEAUTIFUL-real classy and the material has just enough stretch and is very 'forgiving'. I'm 5'7" and about 135lbs. Size 10 fit great in the bodice and length. I also like it's a great all-season dress. Keep bringing us conservative dresses.
Pine Bush, NY
Love it Love it Love it!
This dress was on backorder, so I had to wait for it. It is truly worh the wait! Very comfortable fabric, and fits great. For my size, I am short in the bust area and waist and hip are perfect match. I was concerned whether it would look to loose. The cut of the dress makes everything look like it fits. A great addition to my closet.
Cols, OH
beautiful dress,BUT,if you have hips or booty and plan to wear to church PLEASE size up.I normally wear a 6 in Metrostyle clothes-this came in size 8 as smallest size and it is too snug,will return for size 10 because this dress is so gorgeous

I just received my dress today and I love it! I am very impressed with the quality and it's craftsmanship. The fit is perfect. I still can't believe I found this dress on Metrostyle for under $40., a steal.
