It's cool.
But, yes, here in the United States, Catholic children who do not attend a Catholic school usually go through religious training at their church until Confirmation (usually around 14 years old). Our Parish happens to call it PSR (Parish School of Religion). The classes are on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings between masses. My thirteen year-old son, who happens to be an alter boy, loves Castle and found that line hysterically funny.

I plan to go on GAP and C&O Trails. Drive to Pittsburgh, leave the car there, and return on the same trail. Loaded touring. I may have close to two weeks.
I intend to use my mountain bike. What tires shall I use? I used 26x1.25 slicks, with no problems, but on the road only. What will be fast and reliable on those gravel trails? and hold for >700 miles?
I would hate to have to use fat mountain bike tires.
Are there bike shops around the trails? how is the weather there end of sept / begin oct?
Any suggestion of any kind will be appreciated, as I do not know the area.
Thank You,

What are you looking for? Here are some examples of ways people work with Robin:

Facebook & Other Social Platform Community Manager
Where ever you are communicating with your clients online, it needs to be a two-way conversation. In conjunction with my other online work, I often also serves as online community manager, at a minimum to jumpstart conversation and engagement. This includes not only identifying, creating and posting content (text, links, images, call to actions) but also engaging in direct conversation with community members to both help achieve channel and general business goals but to protect the client's online brand.
In the past, this has included handling negative comments posted online and sent in via private message. Always, Robin communicates with her client regarding what's happening and the related conversations since most of the time these online conversations relate to issues that initially began as an in person, in store or other online interaction.

To you perhaps, not to me. I understand very well that bytes on a harddrive exists and aren't some sort of make believe entity that exists in shadows and bynairy code. I understand that when you download something, even a picture from a website, you physically alter the state of your harddrive, meaning that there is something now encoded on it which exists.
But to me, it's not the same. And honoustly, for most people it won't be, even when they are smart enough to understand that an e-book is real. They feel a different connection to a book. You try and make us understand something here, but do you get our point of view? That we feel the need to smell paper, to feel the rustling of the paper, the glossy feel of the paperback cover, or the slight roughness of the hardcover version?
To some people, reading is more then just words, it's a complete experience. I (and countless romantics with me) need that. Cold, hard keyboards and screens don't give me that same feeling. That feeling of looking at my bookcase, smiling at all the little works of art that are in there (not just Trek, but so much more). We need that, that connection.
And an e-book will never give us that. That's not superstition, it's emotion.

No camera is "Really" truly good at skin tones and color. That's why we have color correction soft wear. I shoot in Raw which gives you the best detail in shadow and highlights anyways so it takes a second to apply the color profile you like best. If you really don't like the color of skin tones.

10 to look for and five you'll miss in 2006
David Fox
Rivals.com College Football Staff Writer
As fall practice approaches, 2006 has already been busy for college football's higher-ups. They approved a new national championship game, added a few new bowl games and even tweaked instant replay to allow a coaches' challenge.
As the summer winds down, let's take a moment to catch up on 10 new things coming to college football and five things on their way out this season.
The new bowl game could also be a prelude to the "plus-one" format once favored by BCS coordinator Mike Slive � who is also the commissioner of the SEC. The plus-one format would create a game featuring the top-ranked winners of the four major bowls in a national championship game.
The re-organized BCS also has a new home on television. Fox spent $320 million for the rights to broadcast four of the five BCS games over the next four years. The Rose Bowl will remain on ABC. ABC had televised the BCS games since 1998.
The postseason now has 32 games with the addition of the Birmingham Bowl (on Dec. 23 between a Conference USA team and either a Big East or MAC team) and the New Mexico Bowl (on Dec. 23 between a Mountain West team and a WAC team in Albuquerque). The NCAA also approved a new bowl game in Houston to replace the defunct Houston Bowl.
Bowl season starts with the Poinsettia Bowl rather than the New Orleans Bowl. The Poinsettia Bowl between the second-place Mountain West team and an at-large team is Dec. 19. The New Orleans Bowl moves to Dec. 22.

Maria Del Socorro
Update on Maria Del SocorroMaria is 58 years old and divides her time between a number of economic activities. She primarily runs a catering service from her house in which she prepares boxed lunches, meals and refreshments for events or institutional orders. For example, clients may request her service for a wedding, baptism, or party. Additionally, she spends some of her time working as an independent assessor for a cancer insurance provider, among other things. Maria has three children who are living independently and she is separated from her husband. As such, she has lately been very focused on her business endeavors.
Maria is requesting a loan in order to renew her kitchen equipment. The loan will help her purchase a blender, plates, and a new refrigerator. Maria's dream is to open a large food preparation center outside of her house, but for this she needs more capital. Through the help of Arariwa, little by little, she is working her way toward fulfilling this ambition.
Maria is a member of the village bank "El Amanecer" in Cusco, which is receiving its 22nd loan from Asociación Arariwa.
Previous Loan DetailsThe member belongs to the communal bank " EL AMANECER". The bank is located in the district of Cusco, which belongs to the province of Cusco and the department of Cusco. The member is Mrs. María del Socorro. The member is 57 years old, divorced and has 3 children. The members offers a food and... More from Maria Del Socorro's previous loan »
Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The Discovery of Abbot Talaricus' (817-3 October 823) Tomb at San Vincenzo Al Volturno
Hodges, Richard, Mitchell, John, Watson, Lucy, Antiquity
During the summer of 1996 the excavations of San Vincenzo Maggiore, the 9th-century abbey-church of the monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno, entered a new phase [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. A trial trench in the area immediately in front of the facade of the 63-m long basilica examined the stratigraphy in its raised atrium (Hodges & Mitchell 1995: 43-7). The initial results show a complex architectural form for this area in front of the church. Our working hypothesis, in advance of full excavation, is that the atrium was entered at two levels with those entering from the raised eastwork which formed the eastern facade of the abbey-church complex, passing through covered porticoes to the principal door into the basilica. Numerous tombs were buried in these porticoes (below). The 1996 excavations revealed the probability that the atrium was also entered from the sides at ground level; certain categories of visitor may have passed into a central open court (beneath the elevated porticoes) before climbing up a flight of steps to the main door in the facade of the basilica. Only full-scale excavation will determine whether this interpretation is correct; at present it appears that our earlier interpretation (Hodges & Mitchell 1995) underestimated the complexity of the architectural concept realized in front of the basilica in the second quarter of the 9th century.
The most remarkable discovery made in the 1996 trial excavation was the tomb of Abbot Talaricus (817-3 October 823). Our earlier interpretation proposed that work on the great basilica was completed under Talaricus, while his successor, Abbot Epyphanius (824-42), was responsible for the ambitious atrium and eastwork. This hypothesis seems confirmed by these latest discoveries.
Talaricus' tomb is a carefully constructed block-built structure set against the front wall of the church, immediately to the north of the main door; internally c. 2.04 m long, 0.66 m wide and 0.64 m deep [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2 OMITTED]. The head and foot of the tomb, of massive squared blocks of local limestone, with gently concave depressions on their inner faces, form shallow niches; and single large slabs closed the two sides. The cavity was covered by one massive limestone block, carefully cut and rebated to fit over the side walls. This had been partially lifted and fractured into five pieces at an early date. The floor of the tomb is made of five large terracotta floor-tiles. Two of these were inscribed before firing with signatures, IE and MA, in the typical San Vincenzo manner, and a third is marked with a peculiar branching device (Mitchell 1990: 199-205; 1994: 909-16). The central three tiles are pierced with holes in regular sequence, for drainage. Beneath this floor is a cavity about 0.4 m deep. The tomb is asymmetrical in construction. The slab which should form the eastern side of the tomb at first glance seems missing. Unlike the other sides this side is not plastered; it is set back from the niches, to form the western side of a subsequent block-built tomb to the east. However, the setting of the basal tiles, the finished edges of the plaster on the head-and foot-walls, and the shape of the cover-slab make it clear that the tomb was originally constructed in this way. Whether this was done with the intention of reopening the tomb from this side to insert further corpses, or for other reasons, remains unclear. Other tombs, including one with a prominent cappuccino superstructure, were built to the east and north of Talaricus' grave. Only further excavation will clarify the sequence of these and their relationship to the tombs of the two founding abbots.
The tomb of Talaricus contained the remains of six individuals. One fully articulated and a second partially articulated skeleton overlay a jumbled collection of bones at the foot of the grave, partially destroyed by rodents. A further two articulated lower legs were found within this pile of bones, which contained the remains of four more individuals, earlier occupants of the tomb, and presumably among them the bones of Talaricus himself. …

Our small cabin had a clear view of the volcano and lake (as all the cabins appeared to). We could wake up and look upon arenal from bed. The surrounding area was gorgeous and we were close to our adventure activity at Sky Adventures. Good food. Great price for scenic private cabin.

In the 1950s and 1960s, psychologists like Eliot Aronson began to suggest that behavior sometimes causes attitudes rather than vice versa. In the wake of this discussion, cognitive dissonance became a popular psychological theory. Put simply, it spoke to the issue of how beliefs sometimes emerge from a tension between certain cognitive elements.
For example, if a person is cognizant of the fact that smoking causes cancer, he will experience dissonance when he thinks about the fact that he is a smoker. He may be inclined to adopt other beliefs like "They will probably find a cure for cancer before I get it." He may develop powerful, even silly, rationalizations like "I'll quit next year" or "It does not matter because the world could end tomorrow in a nuclear holocaust" or "I could be hit by a car tomorrow so I might as well smoke today."
Because Christianity is sometimes a demanding religion, it, too, may create a good deal of cognitive dissonance. For example, the declaration "I am a Christian" can sometimes clash with the awareness that "Christians are supposed to tithe" or "Christians are supposed to love their enemies."
I have seen people who began tithing to the church and loving their enemies upon converting to Christianity. But that is not how it always ends for the converted Christian. Like me, many other Christians have resolved the tension by, at least temporarily, deciding to abandon the Way. Sometimes it is simply easier to say "I am not a Christian."
Those who become agnostic or atheist often say that it was due to an intellectual journey or an intellectually honest re-appraisal of childhood faith. But, as my mentor David L. McMillen used to say, "People rarely understand their own motivations."
I believe that cognitive dissonance theory helps people better understand their own motivations. I believe it has helped me to understand my fall from Christianity, which, thankfully ended with a return to the church.
But the theory might also explain why it took me so long to get back to church. I abandoned atheism on March 7th of 1996. But I did not return to the church until October of 2000. The reason for the delay was simple: I was ashamed.
As I imagined myself walking back into a church, I also imagined people thinking and, perhaps, even saying "What is Mike Adams doing here at church?" But I made it back and my life continues to be blessed as I walk further with Jesus every day.
I can understand the dissonance that is felt by the young woman who wrote to me last week telling of her multiple suicide attempts in the wake of a battle with manic depression. She says she cannot seem to get out of bed on Sundays because of the shame she feels for the harm she has tried to inflict upon herself. She needs to hear from confessing and humble Christians who say they desperately want her back regardless of what she's done.
I often wonder why we speak of the atheists as if they are our enemies. And I wonder whether that should matter if we call ourselves Christians. I hope this column will inspire some cognitive dissonance, for the writer and the reader alike. And I hope the tension will be resolved with love, which the best cure for dissonance, or, for that matter, anything else.

We can't decide if Heather Graham's look is insane or ingenious, but we know one thing for sure: that is a super sexy dress covered by a bonafide Bill Cosby sweater.
It's hard to see the actual '80s pattern, but those are geometric shapes in a bold color that only TV's Cliff Huxtable could pull off. Yes, his would be a crew neck fit over his adorable dad belly, but the style is exactly the same. Only, the famous puddin' salesman never wore it with a red leather mini that's quintessential streetwalker garb.
VIDEO: See the creepy trailor for Heather's remake of Flowers in the Attic
Harsh but true, Heather looks like she grabbed this cardi out of a dumpster to cover up while working on the cold city streets! We can understand the need for a little sweater on a chilly winter night, but the goal is to match that outerwear to the look underneath. It feels like 85-year-old Heather picked the sweater and 16-year-old Heather picked the dress.
If The Cosby Show king is reading, we're sorry to bring you into this mess. And if Heather Graham is reading, we have a feeling the goal was hipster biker chic, but please know that is not now and will hopefully never be a thing.

ALPA Acts to Block U.S. Export-Import Bank's Air India Financing Deal Foreign Carrier Could Gain Economic Advantage at Expense of U.S. Airline Jobs Business Wire WASHINGTON -- November 30, 2011 The Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l (ALPA), has been granted permission to intervene in a lawsuit against the U.S. Export-Import Bank to block it from providing millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to guarantee financing for Air India to purchase a large number of aircraft—a move that could seriously harm the U.S. airline industry and risk U.S. airline jobs. "At a time when every U.S. airline industry job counts, it is inexcusable that the U.S. Export-Import Bank would use U.S. taxpayer dollars to guarantee financing that could give a foreign airline a significant competitive advantage and risk U.S. jobs," said Capt. Lee Moak, ALPA's president. On November 22, ALPA filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit brought by Airlines 4 America (formerly known as the Air Transport Association) that asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to enjoin the U.S. Export-Import Bank from making financial guarantees for Air India to purchase new aircraft until the Bank determines that the guarantees will not harm U.S. airlines and their employees. ALPA asserts that the Bank has violated the statutory requirement that it carefully assess the impact of its financing practices on U.S. airline workers. In particular, ALPA is contesting the Bank's recently proposed financing guarantees for a purchase of Boeing aircraft by Air India. ALPA also asserts that the Bank's loan-subsidy program harms U.S. airlines and their workers by allowing foreign airlines such as Air India to acquire aircraft for substantially less than U.S. airlines would have to pay. For example, Airlines 4 America has estimated that, with Bank financing, Air India would pay approximately $5 million a year less to finance a Boeing 777 than a U.S. airline would pay without the financing guarantees. Both ALPA and Airlines 4 America are alleging that, because of the Bank's actions, U.S. carriers are finding themselves at a competitive disadvantage on routes where Bank-subsidized foreign carriers operate. U.S. airlines have even had to pull down or reduce service on occasion. The Court has set an expedited briefing schedule, with a hearing to be held on the injunction request on December 21. Founded in 1931, ALPA is the world's largest pilot union, representing more than 53,000 pilots at 37 airlines in the United States and Canada. Visit the ALPA website at www.alpa.org.

Two Wolves and a Sheep
Where I think we're headed.
Okay the election is coming up. We've all seen the political ads. If you didn't know there's an election not far away then I don't know what rock you've been hiding under. But there's something bothering me that I've gotta say.
We are heading for a socialist state.
Ok let me explain. There's kinda a spectrum of ways of running the government. On the VERY far right are anarchists. They think there should be no government. They don't like rules, don't like taxes and don't want to be told what to do.
Then there are conservatives. They don't like taxes, don't like most laws, and while they see the reason for having a government they want a very small and insignificant one.
To the left of them are republicans. They don't like being taxed TOO much, don't like having lots of silly laws and think that the government should have some say in their lives but not much.
Then there's moderates and undecided people.
To the left of the are democrats, who like a kinda big government and think taxes and laws and government aid programs are good things in moderation.
After that we have liberals who like big government, lots of taxes and lots of spending.
And on the far end of the spectrum are communists, who think the government should own everything, control everything and run their lives for them.
And most people fit into one of 2 groups. If you think that people are naturally inclined to be bad and need to be told what to do in order to be good people then you generally belong to the left wing. If you think that people are naturally good and the government needs to back off then you generally belong to the right wing. That's the single biggest difference between the right and the left.
One of the founding fathers said: "democracy has to be more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner."
Our system of government only works if both parties are always in contest. The checks and balances are designed so no one person, group or idea can take over and fundamentally change the country. That's important- NOT DOING THINGS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION. I'm about as far right as you can get, but I personally hate George Bush simply because of the patriot act. The constitution says that I have a right to my privacy. And the patriot act in particular is directly and openly violating that.

"Hills" star Heidi Montag was rushed to a Costa Rican hospital Saturday after returning to the filming of "I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!" along with her husband, Spencer Pratt, a rep for the couple confirmed to MTV News on Sunday (June 7).
UsMagazine.com originally reported the news, saying that Spencer had traveled to the hospital alongside his wife. A rep for the couple told MTV News that the Us reports were accurate and that he had "no further details at this time."
TMZ, citing unidentified people on the show's set, reported that Heidi was rushed to the hospital after "convulsively throwing up" and was "diagnosed with a gastric ulcer."
The Web site reported that Montag fell ill after she and Spencer had been "held … in a dark room for a day and a night with only water, rice and beans. It was designed as punishment because they left the show." The couple briefly left the show last week but soon returned, claiming "the devil" had made them leave . TMZ reported that Montag has left the hospital and is receiving medication for her ailment.
Spencer's sister, Stephanie Pratt, took to Twitter to comment on the hospitalization, saying, "I'm really saddened to hear that NBC felt it was OK to punish Speidi so harshly — and torture them as if they were criminals — that Heidi was rushed to the hospital and has an IV in her arm after being locked in a dark room for 3 days w no food or water. [Please] pray she will be OK.
"Her family is flying out to see her in the hospital," Stephanie continued. "I know they pulled some sh—y antics — but really NBC?? Too far." On Friday, NBC's executive vice president of alternative programming Paul Telegdy had called Speidi "everything that's wrong with America," adding that in order for the pair to stay on the show they'd be pushed to the limit.
"They are back, and this time they are contrite. … Yeah, right. What they don't realize is that they are now going to be examined, and their value system utterly deconstructed," he said. "These people really are going to bare their souls."
Miss any of "I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!" this week? Then tune in to MTV Sunday at 12 p.m. ET for a marathon of the week's episodes, followed by "The Hills Presents: Speidi's Wedding Unveiled."

The visit to Portugal bodes ill for his visit to Britain, for it is evident that he feels much more at home in Fatima than ever he could in Canterbury. To visit the first was a long-standing dream; to visit the second is a chore.
One was left wondering just what a liberation theologian -- they are numerous in Portuguese -- speaking Brazil -- would make of the pope's emphasis on Fatima. Pope Paul VI made it more intelligible than John Paul. After visiting the place, Paul said, "Fatima made sense in the light of what happened at Hiroshima."
( June 11, 1982) It was always known that Pope John Paul's visit to Britain would be different. For the first time he was going to a country where Catholics were in a minority -- 9 percent -- in relation to other Christians. For the first time a trip had been arranged on the theme of the seven sacraments rather than according to categories. And for the first time he was going to a country at war.
But no one expected to see a new model Pope John Paul -- John Paul III, as one Vatican expert put it. John Paul disconcerted, in a most welcome way, his habitual camp followers. It was as though, having established his authority in the church, he can afford to ease up and show "the smiling face" of the papacy.
The key factor was that he followed the English bishops' advice. If they said: "It would be tactless to put it that way," he put it another way. He behaved like a thoughtful first-time guest, which he was, rather than the inspector general come to restore order and discipline. Even his references to contraception were vague and noncommitting.
He flattered the English as "a fair-minded and generous people." He said: "I have always admired your love of freedom, and your generous hospitality to other peoples in their adversity."
He said that in Westminster Cathedral, a few hundred yards from the Hotel Rubens, where Polish commander Gen. Wladyslaw Sikorski had his headquarters during World War II. He quoted the

Feet Up, Fishing and a Few Beers
These fishermen on Westport's Saugatuck River had a relaxing time today as they put up their feet and had a few beers. Meanwhile, roadways were busy and trains were crowded as people got an early start on the Labor Day weekend. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Phyllis Groner for WestportNow.com

Called Dittany of Crete because it comes from the isle of Crete, this Oregano has not been in this country for very long. It was imported here in the 1940's and we have been grateful ever since. In the photo to the right, the light green rosette will become the papery pink bracts that are shown in the flowers above. These bracts make excellent dried flowers.
Dittany also makes a nice addition to rock gardens or ornamental beds that are on the dry side. Its round, very fuzzy gray leaves are the perfect canvas for the many 6 to 8 inch flower stalks that appear in summer. The shrub above is just getting ready to burst into bloom. It died back over the winter and spent early spring getting taller and forming buds.
Dittany of Crete makes a great addition to our Crafter's Herb Garden.

5 reasons why Pecha Kucha is **THE** night out in Coventry this Friday...
Yes, it's Pecha Kucha night at the Tin Music & Arts centre from 7pm this Friday, here's 5 reasons why this night of merry amusement just might be for you...
1) If you like TED talks, stand up comedy or open mic nights - Pecha Kucha is sort of like all three rolled into one. At each night there's a massive mix of zany, opinionated, inspirational and downright oddball people talking (or perhaps shouting, dancing, miming or singing) through a series of 20 images. You don't have to worry about stifling any yawns, each person is only allowed 20 seconds per image... before you know it you've had six and a half minutes of eclectic entertainment... and after 3 or 4 you realise the £3 entry is definitely giving your two bob's worth.
2) TFI Friday and alcohol is served. The Tin offer loads of continental drinks and local brews including Coventry's very own Byatt's beer.
3) Fighting winter flu? You can watch Pecha Kucha from your sickbed - All the Pecha Kucha presentations are put online at www.pechakucha.org/cities/coventry. Seriously laugh-out-loud recommendations from the Pecha Kucha Coventry 'Christmas' edition are: How to Annoy Your Friends on Facebook at Christmas by Simon Fairbanks and Placing Children on Your Lap: the Art of Ventriloquism by Michael Mayhew. You can also follow antics via Twitter live on the night @PKN_coventry.
4) Try it and like it? You can go to a Pecha Kucha night ANYWHERE in the world. Originally starting in Tokyo (the tongue twisting "Pecha Kucha" title means "chit chat"), nights now take place in over 700 cities worldwide. So next time you're surfing the Air B&B waves to Dubai, Budapest, San Francisco or Paris you can also take in a Pecha Kucha night*.
5) If you get the itch after seeing (and possibly secretly mocking) others, you can have a go too. Anyone is welcome to sign up to 'do' a Pecha Kucha night on any subject, in any style, with any images and props you might care to use. Once you've completed this curious right-of-passage, you realise there's no return; it's addictive, it's fun and it's a serious preference to sitting in and worrying about your post-January diet. See you on Friday!
*disclaimer - not all nights may be as good as Pecha Kucha Coventry. Please also note that you could be educated or inspired and that there's a serious risk of meeting people...

'Design your City' - a theme for Global Pecha Kucha Night

Playful Interventions
Where do you play in your city?
Simon Bedford discusses the excitement that can be found at Coventry's Warwick Arts Centre. In "Playful Interventions" from PKN Coventry Vol. 19, he begins by showing off the impact that interactive light sculptures, piano stairs, augmented reality advertisements, and speed limit lotteries can have on a community.
Why I couldn't let PKN_COV die
There's been a lot of sad tweets recently about horrific things happening in our world, and Pecha Kucha has been one of the little ways I've used to remind myself the world is still goodish. So, when Janet tweeted that the most recent PK might have to be the last in Coventry I DM'd straight to action. I barely have anything to do in my spare time (apart from help run Big Comfy Sessions and host/promote gigs across the city ;o) so a DM to Janet asking if any additional help would keep PK alive. Luckily I wasn't the only one to offer help so it didn't take long for a new PK Coventry organising committee to be formed.
Janet is and always will be our Queen but she now has several court jesters in the form of myself (@mr_spoon), Dom Breadmore (@predacomDom) and Ross Fisher. Our job is to help Janet book presenters, and basically anything else she needs. But it's the presenter line-up that I expect takes the longest time, without presenters we'd either have no PK in Cov or we'd have to sit through yet another Mark Hancock presentation and no-one wants that.
I know how hard it is to persuade people to expose themselves for 6 minutes and 40 seconds as I hold the award for second longest to take up the challenge. Despite my fetish for organising gigs and gatherings I don't like being the centre of attention, and PK is a special kind of attention. I never felt I had a right to be on stage alongside creatives, artists, eloquent presenters and inspirational geeks. However after a few PKs I started to see more 'normals' drift onto the stage. Some of the best presentations I've seen have been about the mundanity of shopping, favourite books and a Wi-Fi rabbit. Hang on a second, I thought...I STILL don't want to do this...but I can bully others into volunteering.
I'm glad I finally popped my PK cherry during the most attended one ever (d'oh) hosted by Ludic Rooms...it is very much like giving birth (I know, I've suffered through two of them ;o), in that I didn't enjoy the experience but I have a happy heart and badge of honour after doing it.
PK in Coventry is a wonderful pot pourri of an evening, with squishy settees, that unmistakable Tin fragrance, laughter and friends...and let's not deny, a cheap night of entertainment and inspiration. You can't argue with that.
I hope that by helping keep Pecha Kucha going in Coventry that more people get the chance to experience that awkwardness of a confusing, badly timed, strange, fumbled presentation and maybe even get drunk enough to volunteer for the next one. I've already used my 'power' to sign up two frolleagues and a handful of new audience members that think it sounds fun. So right they are!
See you in December!!
Despite slightly suffering with the remnants of a horrible lurgy, I'm pressing on with assembling the slides for tonight's Pecha Kucha Coventry Volume 15. Running order has been a bit trickier than usual to sort - normally the order just kind of suggests itself and the order always works because of the random connections it unwittingly throws up. Let's hope I haven't thought about it too much this time...
So here it is:
Julia O'Connell - A Kiss from France
Jon Plumley - The Charterhouse
Steve Compton - What Far Gosford Street means to me
Laura Elliott - Laura and Popple: celebrating 30 years
<sake & chat break>
Atma Singh - post-tsunami
Nikki Pugh - 29 not-quite-random walks around Tokyo
Matthew Macaulay - form/function
Richard Tomlins - What Far Gosford Street means to me
<sake & chat break>
Then there's karaoke!
All part of the Japanese Cultural Festival at The Tin Music & Arts. More here: http://thetinmusicandarts.org.uk/events/japanese-cultural-festival/
Another great Pecha Kucha event in Coventry last night. Thanks to everyone who played a part in making it so ace - and, for those who missed it, here it is in tweets as a storify.
At our March 2013 event, PKN Coventry Vol 12, we tried a new twist on the improvised Pecha Kucha presentation. To fit with our theme of "The 10 things I would do to make Coventry a better place", I prepared 20 slides - images of aspects of Coventry. In the interval, cards showing one of these images were randomly handed out to people in the audience, with the request that they come up with one (20 second) 'thing' inspired by that image to add into the presentation. Here is an short version of the list of the things the audience came up with:
1. (image of the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum) Open for longer and later. Still free entry and expand the programme of groups using the space.
2. (image of the Cathedrals) Open up the recently discovered 14th Century crypts and let people see the bodies!
3. (image of the Ellen Terry Building) Bring back the cinema for the public!
4. (image of alleyway by Druckers off Hertford Street) Make sure the lights always work and it's safe to use.
5. (image of ring road flyovers by sports centre) Get the chicken knitters (as mentioned in Richard Tomlinson's PK earlier) to knit some socks for the ring road legs...(yarnbombing!)
6. (image of the river at the back of Palmer Lane) Open up the river.
7. (image of back of sports centre) I'm amazed that these used to be steps up to a restaurant!
8. (image of the side of St Mary's Guild Hall) Keep the heritage weekend.
9. (image of County Hall) More independent, and less w*nk bars!
10. (image of timbered former tourist info building next to Holy Trinity) Should be Tourist Info and a tourist destination.
11. (gate near Bishop St) This is near the Refugee Centre. The Refugee Centre has been welcoming refugees for more than 10 years, but it had to remain hidden for a long time. The refugees that have settled here over the last 10 years are now making a huge impact in the city. Reinvention, positivity and social value.
12. (image of the precinct) We should all be 'Poogilantes' to prevent people from stepping in undesirable poo on pavements, always carry a chalk to circle, label and help others avoid!
13. (image of stairs near Coventry Market) Step into Coventry Market - Coventry is full of interesting buildings, spaces, nooks and crannies. Go and explore - and champion - them.
14. (image of the circular cafe in the Lower Precinct) Create a public painting - or guerilla weaving workshop here. Cover it in colour.
15. (image of Cullen ceramic mural in the Lower Precinct) Give more jobs to glass blowers, artists and other people who put the colour in.
16. (image of public artwork in Shelton Square) Make a hidden art trail - so people can find these.
17. (image of former Evening Telegraph building) Offer this building to artists and craftsmen...
18. (image of Whitefriars Monastery from the subway) Crowdsource some citizen photos of Coventry - what its people see as beautiful - and use these as the images on official council and other establishments websites. An ever-changing selection which showcases current events and developments and maybe even engenders civic pride!
19. (image of graffitti) A paint amnesty.
20 (image of the cross on the ground of the Priory Place visitor centre garden) Coventry obviously needs more pirates - there's buried treasure here that needs digging up....!
I can't quite believe we're at Pecha Kucha Coventry Vol #12. It's been an amazing couple of years with presentations ranging from "20 films that made me want to leave planet earth" to "15 lessons from sailing that should be applied to life" to "400 seconds with Wernher and the Wagtail" to our ground-breaking Pecha Kucha plays (and pretty much everything in between).
I've just got the tickets on sale for our next event, which is on March 26th at our friendly regular venue Taylor John's House [you can get your sticky mitts on one here] but I'm still a few speakers short - do you fancy having a go? We could do with some women, all the volunteers are blokes at the moment....
It's a themed one, for a change - I'm looking for people to tell us about the 10 things they would do to make Coventry a better place. If you live here, you must have some ideas and we'd love to hear them (and chat about them afterwards).
Please get in touch if you'd like to take the 20 x 20 challenge - otherwise, buy a ticket and I'll see you there!
Coventry's 11th Pecha Kucha Night - and the last event of 2012 starts in a little over 6 hours - woo!
Here's the list of presenters:
Janice Connolly/Barbara Nice - Podium (a Pecha Kucha Play with images by Richard Battye)
Steph Ridings - One Day Music Will Play (a Pecha Kucha Play with images by Richard Harrison)
Jack Shuttleworth - Designing Spaces for Early Years and Family Learning
Dom Breadmore - Fail (working title)
Ashley James Brown - Generative.PK
Si Whitehouse - Telling stories with 1's and 0's
Pete Dunkley - The Power of Irrationality (How to get reasonable people to do stupid things)
Rebecca Fisher - Party like it's 899!
I've also prepared a selection of 'unseen' images of Coventry at Night - if anyone fancies improvising a Pecha Kucha story tonight. (Sneak peak of images here if you want to cheat.)
And for our next event, there's a theme - I shall be looking for speakers to give their presentation entitled "10 things I would do to make Coventry a better place" (money no object, obviously). Think you've a few ideas on that you'd like to share?Let me know!
Coventry's PechaKucha Night Vol. 8 was part of the Global Cities Week, and here's a little photographic peek at what the venue looked like, which organizer Janet Vaughn likes to describe as a "lovely dark venue." You can also get a feel for how the event went by searching for the following hashtag on Twitter: #pkncov
The next PechaKucha Night in Coventry (Vol. 3) is set for March 22, taking place at Taylor John's House. Some of the presenters are already listed on the official event page (with links), and expect more to be added in the weeks to come.

English cricket will break with tradition in 2016 after the England and Wales Cricket Board announced a new rule which will see the forsaking of the toss.
To end with a walloping at Worcester was pretty disappointing, but that shouldn't detract from a pretty solid season in terms of red-ball cricket.
During seven years at Lord's, Neil Dexter has played his part in transforming Middlesex from Division Two also-rans to serious contenders for the County Championship title.
Nick Compton's century in Middlesex's remarkable victory over Yorkshire last week proved too late to reclaim his place in England's top order.
Toby Roland-Jones' maiden first-class hundred in the stunning comeback win over champions Yorkshire might never have happened, he revealed this week.
Around the halfway point of the season, our general thinking was that, as long as we kept going, there'd come a period when Yorkshire weren't winning.
Middlesex batting coach David Houghton believes Dawid Malan's run of form should put him in the frame for an international call-up in the near future.
Paul Stirling is seeking a prolonged run in the Middlesex side over the coming weeks to stake his claim for a regular four-day slot.
Neil Dexter's been in and out of the team throughout the summer and that hasn't been easy for him – but his century up at Durham was outstanding.
Tim Murtagh has pledged to keep fighting for the County Championship crown as Middlesex begin a crunch spell of three games against their title rivals.
Influential cricket fans are having three minutes of silence at 10am this morning at the Oval to mourn "the death of cricket as a global sport."
In a way it was mildly frustrating to put in a performance like we did against Glamorgan – because it showed the true ability of this team in 50-over cricket.
Toby Roland-Jones says Middlesex have been motivated by memories of last year's slide to sustain their County Championship challenge this time around.
It's always nice to be part of the final wicket in a close-fought-win – although I'd have been very disappointed to have dropped that catch on Monday!
Middlesex batsman Nick Gubbins is optimistic that his recent move down the order will make him a better player in the long term.
As things stand, we're still in the mix in the Royal London One-day Cup – but we need to find a bit of consistency.
Middlesex batsman Dawid Malan feels the county's Twenty20 fortunes would improve if the tournament were streamlined over a shorter period of time.
It seems to be that time of the season when counties are trying to take some pressure off their main venues, and that gives us the chance to play at a few outgrounds.
Steven Finn starred with another impressive bowling display to secure a resounding derby victory for Middlesex against London rivals Surrey at Lord's.
John Simpson believes Middlesex finally have the resources to challenge for one-day honours as they prepare to launch their 50-over campaign this weekend.
The next few weeks are all about the 50-over Cup and it could be interesting to see what impact the international game has on the domestic competition.
Middlesex seamer Steven Finn says he is "in a very happy place" after taking four-wicket hauls in successive matches for the Lord's side.
It was really disappointing to lose an entire day to rain at Old Merchant Taylor's, but at least we managed to give the spectators an entertaining finish.
Steven Finn picked up four wickets as Middlesex finally ended their record losing streak in the NatWest T20 Blast by overcoming Essex Eagles at Richmond.
James Harris admits his recent purple patch with the bat is not before time.
It is the one they all want to win. With Australia still having a tight grip on the little urn, England are seemingly in a good position to fight them all the way this summer.
Hapless Middlesex remain rooted to the foot of the table after a seven-wicket thrashing by Sussex Sharks – their sixth straight NatWest T20 Blast defeat.
Spinner Ravi Patel is eager to make up for lost time after returning from injury – and halt Middlesex's horrific nose-dive in the NatWest T20 Blast.
We don't have Steven Finn with us at the moment, but the guys leading our attack are great bowlers in their own right, all match-winners.
John Simpson struck another career-best innings in a losing cause as Middlesex plunged to Twenty20 defeat against Somerset – their fifth in a row.
John Simpson sees his long-term future as a top-order batsman following his recent promotion to no 4 in Middlesex's limited-overs line-up.
While they aren't able to call on the services of Chris Gayle any more, my old club Somerset are still a very good Twenty20 outfit.
A century stand between Michael Carberry and Owais Shah sentenced Middlesex to their fourth straight NatWest T20 Blast defeat against Hampshire at Lord's.
Kyle Abbott is warning his former Hampshire team-mates to watch out for a Middlesex backlash when they visit Lord's in the NatWest T20 Blast on Thursday night.
