Midnight Sun Film Festival has been acknowledged with the first EFFE Award as "one of the twelve trend-setting festivals in Europe". The prize was handed in the award ceremony held in Paris on the 27th of September. It was the first time the umbrella organization of 760 festivals from 31 countries awarded year's finest cultural events. The uniqueness of the award was emphasized by the fact that the Midnight Sun Film Festival was the only film festival among the winners.
Criteria for the EFFE Award (Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe) said: "The Midnight Sun Film Festival boasts one of the most unusual atmospheres of any festival in the world: top directors, up-and-coming talent, an international audience and the common person on the street come together under the midnight sun. Created by leading artists in the field (acclaimed filmmakers the Kaurismäki brothers), this is a distinctive and surprising film festival".
Mandated by the Midnight Sun Film Festival the award was received in the Paris ceremony by the Finland Festivals executive Kai Amberla. Midnight Sun Film Festival wants to dedicate the prize to its founders Anssi Mänttäri, Aki and Mika Kaurismäki, as well as the first artistic director of the festival Peter von Bagh, who passed away last year.

The 30th edition of the Midnight Sun Film Festival (June 10-14 2015) broke several audience records of the traditional festival. According to Sunday morning's estimate, there were more than 30 000 visitors who bought tickets to festival screening, held in four venues around the clock. The visitor numbers were up approximately 15 per cent from last year.
This year there were filmmakers from more than ten countries coming to show their films to the cultivated audiences beyond the Arctic Circle. Mike Leigh from the UK was this year's main guest, joined by Christian Petzold (Germany), Whit Stillman (USA), Nils Malmros (Denmark), Malgorzata Szumowska (Poland), Miguel Gomes (Portugal) and Auberi Edler (France), among others.
The festival was launched with a head start on Wednesday morning at Cinema Lapinsuu with a matinee dedicated to the life and deeds of Peter von Bagh. The matinee screened short films and featured expert guests from Jouko Aaltonen to Bernard Eisenschitz. The presence of the late von Bagh was vividly present at the festival, in the form of his own films as well as screenings of his personal favourites. Especially The Count, von Bagh's singular feature-length fiction film, made the audience go wild.
Von Bagh's role as a moderator of the festival's morning discussions was inherited by Timo Malmi, Olaf Möller, Liselott Forsman, Otto Kylmälä, Neil McGlone and Petteri Kalliomäki, who each got the opportunity to invite a foreign festival guest to the School stage for a chat. The YLE Teema channel transmitted the festival atmosphere to Finnish homes by live-broadcasting Mike Leigh's Saturday morning discussion and the discussion of the Finnish festival guests. The recordings are now available at the YLE Areena streaming service.
An extensive recap of the year's Finnish films is a traditional part of the festival selection. This year actress Minna Haapkylä was present to introduce the screening of Jörn Donner'sArmi Alive!, while Armi Toivanen spoke with the audience in connection to Antti Heikki Pesonen's Headfirst. The Finnish director guests Petri Kotwica (Absolution) Anssi Mänttäri (Black Dog on My Shoulder) and Ville Suhonen (Seamstress) received a warm welcome.
By Sunday morning, there had been 28 sold-out screenings at the festival. Cinema Lapinsuu, the "festival palace", attracted a full house on many consecutive days, while every single screening of Malgorzata Szumowska's films was sold out. The bigger capacity of the new Big Tent was also evident at the box office.
Rare 70mm versions of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Akira Kurosawa'sDersu Uzala hypnotized spectators at the Big Tent. The ecstasy of karaoke was experienced three times at this year's festival, with Thursday's Suomi-Filmi-Sing-Along and Friday's At the Rovaniemi Fair preparing the audience for Saturday, when Sam Huber, wearing a baroque shirt, danced on top of a grand piano to the melodies of Prince'sPurple Rain. Silent films led by conductor and master pianist Antonio Coppola, Jacques Feyder'sThe New Gentlemen (accompanied by Avanti! orchestra) and Frank Borzage'sLucky Star,were also received with enthusiasm, as was expected.
The final festival day launches with two morning discussions: Malgorzata Szumowska is interviewed by Petteri Kalliomäki at 10am, while Olaf Möller interviews Christian Petzold at 11am.
The winning film of this year's audience voting will be screened at Lapinsuu at 9.45pm. There will also be re-screenings of others of this year's favourite films to satisfy the festival audience. Ville Suhonen's impressive documentary, Seamstress, which was sold out on Thursday, will be re-screened at the Big Tent at 10am.
Sure to be a one of a kind experience is the photography concert by Ismo Alanko and Pekka Turunen at the Big Tent at 14.45.
Mr. Turner (2014).
Audience's choice: Mr. Turner
Mike Leigh's Mr. Turner won this year's audience voting, so the film will be screened once more on Sunday at 9:45 pm at Lapinsuu. The film is a carefully constructed drama on the radical painter J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851), whose role in reshaping the art of painting was only realized by future generations.
In preparation for his role as Turner, actor Timothy Spall studied painting in order make his brush strokes authentic, while the roles of other artists of the period were only cast with actors who have actually painted in real life. Dorothy Atkinson is magnificent as Turner's faithful housekeeper. Spall deservedly won at Cannes for his masterly role.
Friday nights silent film was accompanied by Avanti! orchestra. Picture: Santeri Happonen.
The sunny festival Friday was launched with two morning discussions. The audience enjoyed listening about the making of Miguel Gomes' Arabian Nights and Whit Stillman's career path, among other things.
Friday's first surprise was the screening of Whit Stillman's TV pilot The Cosmopolitans, which even the director himself had not seen on a silver screen until now.
Another TV production screened on a silver screen was Aki Kaurismäki's Dirty Hands (1989), based on a play by Jean-Paul Sartre. The capacity of the renovated Big Tent was tested by Friday night's silent film screening. The line to the screening weaved its way all over the festival area, ending outside the gates.
Friday night's surprise preview screening was surprising indeed: the audience had a chance to see Aleksi Salmenperä's brand new comedy Häiriötekijä, which has its Finnish premiere this autumn. Actors Tommi Korpela and Eero Ritala were present at the screening.
Morning arrived to the festival in the company of dance and song. Despite delays and technical problems, the atmosphere was sky-high at the Big Tent's karaoke screening.
Konrad Wolf's Goya (1971).
The festival Saturday begins with Mike Leigh's anticipated morning discussion. The discussion will be broadcast live on Yle Teema.
Other highlights include the 70mm screening of Konrad Wolf's Goya at 12.30pm at the Big Tent and Christian Petzold's Phoenix at the same venue at 3.45pm. Saturday's silent film screening features Frank Borzage's Lucky Star accompanied by Antonio Coppola at the Big Tent at 6.15pm.
Be sure not to miss the karaoke screening of Prince's Purple Rain at the Big Tent at 11.00pm. Saturday reaches it's dreamy climax at 3.45am with Wet Dreams at the Big Tent!
In addition to films, the festival audience can enjoy the Midnight Sun versus The Rest of the Universe soccer match and the Finnish Broadcasting Company sauna by the river behind the festival area.

The Opening Screening, Mike Leigh's Vera Drake, attracted a full house of festival visitors. Image: Santeri Happonen
The 30th edition of The Midnight Sun Film Festival got started on Wednesday June 10 in a festive atmosphere. The life and works of longtime Festival Director Peter von Bagh were celebrated in an extensive five-hour-long matinee, but the festival also turned its gaze into the future. The festival audience got to experience films in a new, bigger and bolder version of the classic festival tent.
The official opening screening at Cinema Lapinsuu attracted a full house of festival visitors and special guests. This year's opening film was Mike Leigh's Vera Drake - after decades of anticipation, the celebrated British director has finally arrived at the festival. In the coming days, Leigh will be enjoying the festival atmosphere, with an extensive look into his career and thoughts coming up on Saturday's morning discussion.
In his opening speech, the festival's Artistic Director Timo Malmi gave an assertive list of reasons for the festival's continuing existence after the passing of Peter von Bagh: Midnight Sun Film Festival is an absolutely essential champion of film culture in Finland. Malmi noted that the recent case of Helsinki's Maxim cinema shows that it is possible to gain victories in this struggle.
The new Big Tent, capable of hosting more than one thousand people, also had its very own opening ceremony. The opening film was Peter von Bagh's The Count (1971). One of the film's female stars, Titta Karakorpi was present at the screening to share memories of the The Count's making, and after the film ended, surprise guest Kiti Neuvonen gave an emotional performance of the film's theme song.
However, another event attracted festival visitors to the Big Tent already before the official opening. The festival's long-time partner Kemijoki Oy presented a film about the company's growth and served the audience liquorice and refreshments. The film "Padottu voima - Kemijoen tarina" showed that Lapland's modernization process was not painless. Director Michael Franck referred to the film as an instrument of redemption and compared the filmmaking process to a therapy session. Many families financed their children's education with money from the reservoirs, but some of those children lost their childhood landscapes underwater.
With the first festival day turning into night, this year's series of 70mm films also got its noble start. Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey held the audience in its intensive grip long into the night, leaving everyone hungry for more masterpieces in the 70mm format.

On Thursday morning, the legendary morning discussions of Sodankylä will return. The first turn at the School bench is taken by Nils Malmros - who is also dubbed as "the Nordic Truffaut". Other picks from the programme: Ville Suhonen's "Ompelijatar", a documentary film about the last woman to have been executed in Finland, will be premiered at 17.45 in the Small Tent. At night, all will be invited to Suomi Finland Sing-Along at the Big Tent at 23.15!
Remember also that the festival restaurants are open from 8am to 2am!

The 30th Midnight Sun Film Festival began with a commemorative matinee held in Cinema Lapinsuu in honour of the late Festival Director Peter von Bagh. In the Finnish part of the event, the festival's Artistic Director Timo Malmi interviewed film researcher Sakari Toiviainen and director-producer Jouko Aaltonen, who had both been von Bagh's working partners.
Discussing von Bagh, the foremost thing that came up was the amazing range of his roles from that of an internationally renowned critic to researcher and filmmaker. Von Bagh's opus on Finnish art history, Song of Finland, received a special mention when Aki Kaurismäki came up to the stage and recommended that the book be included as a mandatory part of Finnish school syllabus. Aaltonen took note of von Bagh's exceptional ability to perceive wide-ranging topics in his works.
Von Bagh's working partners were of the opinion that his childhood in Oulu as well as the early passing of his mother partly explained the director's productivity and cinephilia - for Peter, film clubs were a window to the world, as Sakari Toiviainen phrased. The director got his career in festival programming started early on in film clubs, eventually leading him to direct international film festivals. The panelists remembered von Bagh as someone who preferred to avoid bureaucracy and who as a director liked to allot responsibility and freedom to everyone.
Three of von Bagh's early short films were presented in the matinee, including the student occupation film Vanhan valtaus (1968), in which, according to Toiviainen, there is already present the interplay of fact and fiction typical of von Bagh's works. The political themes of this film reached their apex in the film Socialism, released last year. The conversation also touched on the recent digitalisation of film screenings, of which "Petteri" was strongly against. However, von Bagh valued the sense of community brought on by the cinema-experience even more highly than the correct screening format.
The second part of the matinee featured Olaf Möller interviewing critic Miguel Marías and film historian Bernard Eisenschitz on von Bagh's body of work. The international guests partly emphasized the same aspects as their Finnish colleagues, praising von Bagh for his tireless productivity, insightful associations, wide-ranging erudition on different fields of art and history, as well as his part in making Finnish cinema known internationally.

The new Big Tent was opened by the freshly baked "King of Tents" Esa "Nätsi" Rosvall.
The opening screening for the Tent featured Peter von Bagh's film The Count (1971), in which the serial charmer Pertti Ylermi Lindgren performed as himself. Present at the screening were Titta Karakorpi, who played one of the female leads in the film, and Kiti Neuvonen, who sang a magnificent version of Nuoruustango, the theme song of the film.
The official opening of the festival, featuring the screening of Mike Leigh's Vera Drake, took place at theater Lapinsuu.
Some of the most remarkable new international films of present day will be screened among the annual "Gems of new cinema" assemblage of Midnight Sun Film Festival. Films by directors from countries such as Iran, Philippines, France and Norway are included.
Despite 20-year ban from making films, Jafar Panahi has yet again been able to make a film in his native country – and nothing less than a film that won the Golden Bear of Berlin Film Festival.

The National Council for Cinema awarded the State Prize for Cinema to the Midnight Sun Film Festival in Sodankylä for the high quality of its programming and the nurturing of the cinematic art. The year 2015 will mark the Festival's 30th anniversary.
The State Prizes awarded by the National Arts Councils are given in recognition of the recipient's meritorious work or long-term activity in support of the art form.
The National Council for Cinema Rationale
The Midnight Sun Film Festival is among the world's most unique festivals. Next year the celebration of light, cinema and cinephilia has been held in northernmost Finland for 30 years already.
The Festival has carried out important and consistent work by placing both classic films and new cinema within the reach of the audience, and by providing unforgettable moments in the company of the most legendary filmmakers in the world.
The Midnight Sun Film Festival, "Sodis", has raised and nourished already several generations of lovers of the cinematic art. Its reputation has spread around the globe, popularising not just cinema but also Finland and the Finnish culture. Another indication of the Festival's uniqueness is that it is impossible to imitate: the inimitable magic of Sodankylä is born out of the location, the time of the event, the programming, and the people.
The National Council for Cinema wants to bestow the award to the Festival for its high-quality programming, uncompromising nurturing of the cinematic art, and its determined enthusiasm. The cinema, Finland and the world all need the Midnight Sun Film Festival.

"I don't remember what exactly was the first film I saw, but the film that made the strongest impression on me was maybe Ben-Hur or some Disney film", said French director Olivier Assayas when asked about his early experiences with cinema. Assayas' parents worked in the film business and cinema was always present at his home. The family was visited by great names of French cinema from René Clair to Abel Gance. Still, cinema was never discussed seriously in the family.

"Listening to him, we realize what cinema is really about, what it is in cinema that needs to be saved." This is how Peter von Bagh summarises the relevance of French director, critic, film educator and Cahiers du Cinéma veteran Alain Bergala in the field of cinema.
"The first film that made an impression on me was Cecil B. DeMille'sThe Ten Commandments and particularly the scene where they cross the Red Sea. Later I heard that many men of my generation experienced the same Big Bang when witnessing that scene", says Bergala and adds that many films can be seen as generational experiences, although the phenomenon is not as prevalent during the era of television.

"There was a rumour he would interview me, but I will interview him." This is how Aki Kaurismäki responded to questions concerning the nature of Sunday's extraordinary morning discussion. Festival Director Peter von Bagh cornered director Kaurismäki with a slew of familiar choices: Hawks or Ford? Kurosawa or Ozu? Dostoyevsky or Kafka? Red or white wine? Wife or cinema? The hour-long discussion included a lot of debate and consensus on many great films and filmmakers. The topics of discussion were diverse: everything from Chaplin to Aarne Tarkas.

"It all began when I got to know a circus family. I didn't know any circus tricks so I had to find some other way to join them", Alice Rohrwacher says. That other way she found in cinema. She created her first documentary film, Un piccolo spettacolo (2005), by doing, daring and experimenting.
One more change in Friday's morning discussion schedule: Alice Rohrwacher will replace Olaf Möller in the second interview.

Alain Bergala is a French film education expert, filmmaker and author of the book L'hypothèse cinéma (The Aesthetics of Film), which was recently published in Finnish. This year at the Midnight Sun Film Festival, he held a seminar concerning film education for young people and children. The precise topic of the seminar was the pedagogic project Cinéma cent ans de jeunesse, established in 1995, which aims to introduce film education to primary and secondary schools. Now, twenty years after its inception, the scheme spans forty different school classes all over the world.
Opening the seminar, Bergala gave a brief outline of the history of French film education. The guiding ideal of French post-WWII film societies was the idea of high culture uniting people from all backgrounds. However, the advent of television and the recent digitalization of audiovisual culture have diminished artistically ambitious cinema into a small island of its own, which the general public has no connection to.
School classes that commit to the film education scheme spend the whole year working in tandem with their teacher and a professional working in the field of cinema. In the autumn term each student completes exercises that familiarize them with the formal language of cinema. These exercises are based on a DVD of film extracts compiled by the project coordinators. Clear, common rules and rotating roles within the group make sure that the learning process stays equal to all. The spring term culminates with the students making and watching their own films.
Among the examples screened by Bergala illustrating the type of educational film extracts included in the DVD were scenes from classic films that utilize the long take (plan-séquence) in different ways. The students' task was to consider, without the teacher's assistance, what is the extracts' common factor and then film a scene of their own based on how they understood the set of extracts. In order to keep the learning process spontaneous, it is essential that the students do not merely attempt to copy the scenes they have just seen, but instead attempt to say something about a topic personal to them.
At the end of the seminar, Bergala reflected on the benefits and challenges of digitalization. Whereas before the filmmaking process consisted of a clear and linear set of choices, it is now possible to film a limitless amount of material and then work it into an endless number of differing versions. Similarly, the way in which people watch films has also changed: according to Bergala the habit of watching an entire film from start to finish is a disappearing tradition and therefore educators cannot demand that from today's youth. Instead, they should for example attempt to illustrate the connections between different clips found on the internet.
There have been changes in the morning discussion schedule of the Midnight Sun Film Festival 2014.
On Thursday, Alain Bergala will replace Gleb Panfilov as morning discussion guest. Bergala's original morning discussion appearance was originally scheduled to be on Friday. Bergala will have a conversation with Peter von Bagh at Kitisenranta school from 10AM to 12PM.
Friday morning will kick off with a double jackpot; for the first hour, Olaf Möller will interview Pawel Pawlikowski (10AM-11AM). After that, Möller will switch seats in an interview hosted by Peter von Bagh (11AM-12PM). Bergala and Mahamat-Saleh Haroun were first announced as guests of Friday's morning discussion.
On Saturday, Olivier Assayas will participate in morning discussion, as previously announced (10AM-12PM). Sunday's morning discussion guest will be revealed later.

And only a few hours later, director master Gleb Panfilov will join Peter von Bagh in Thursday's morning discussion.

In addition to Cannes Grand Prix winner The Wonders, Olivier Assayas' brand new film Clouds of Sils Maria will be one of the highlights of Midnight Sun Film Festival 2014. Starring in Assayas' first English language film will be Juliette Binoche, Chloë Grace Moretz and Kristen Stewart, each praised for their performances. Director Assayas will introduce his film next Friday in Lapinsuu at 2:45 PM.
Our repertoire will also be enriched by a special musical screening. Some of the biggest hits of Pulp will rock the Big Tent in Sodankylä night when Florian Habicht's documentary film Pulp is premiered in Finland. Habicht masterly captured the band's last concert in Great Britain and the frenzy around it. Pulp has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, such as Common People and This Is Hardcore.
Great Finnish actor Martti Suosalo will also arrive to Sodankylä to strengthen the domestic repertoire of MSFF 2014. He will introduce the film Isänmaallinen mies, in which he performs one of the most astounding lead roles of his career.
Unfortunately, director Peter Greenaway's arrival seems uncertain at this point. Greenaway was supposed to shoot a film in Finland, but the shooting sessions were postponed to September. Therefore the director's visit to Sodankylä is endangered. However, the cancellation has not yet been officially confirmed.
Our confirmed visitors from abroad are directors Olivier Assayas (France), Gleb Panfilov (Russia), Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (Chad), Pawel Pawlikowski (Great Britain), Alice Rohrwacher (Italy), Veiko Öunpuu (Estonia), Katell Quillévéré (France), Hélier Cisterne (France) and actress Inna Churikova (Russia).
The Blues Brothers karaoke screening is due in a week - it is about time you started rehearsing! Here's a list of video links to all the singalong songs, for your comfort and convenience.

In 2014, the Midnight Sun Film Festival presents a selection of films highlighting the rich and diverse cultural history of the Balkan area. The "Balkan Special" includes a selection of short films from the former Yugoslavia, a few handpicked Yugoslav classics and recent feature-length films of Serbian, Bosnian and international production. Featuring both fictional and documentary films, the series also introduces us to the artistic and industrial aspects of Balkan film culture. The films will be presented by the German film experts Lars Henrik Gass and Olaf Möller and the Polish director Paweł Pawlikowski.
The atmosphere of the Midnight Sun Film Festival is one of the most unique in the whole world: the most famous film directors of the world, young directors, the international audience and the inhabitants of Sodankylä meet under the midnight sun in the relaxed and informal "spirit of Sodankylä". This festival is meant for people who truly love the art of cinema, there are no formalities or fancy cocktail parties, one doesn't have to be afraid of getting lost in the jungle of bureaucracy.
Films are screened in four venues for 24 hours a day, and the actual time is easily forgotten: the sun shines as brightly at 4 a.m. as at 4 p.m.
In 2014, the festival will be held from 11th to 15th of June. The first details about the programme will be announced on April 23rd.
Gloria, a critically acclaimed film by the Chile-born director Sebastían Lelio, is brought to Sodankylä by a new kind of co-operation project. The film has attracted praise throughout the year 2013. At Berlinale, Paulina García's performance as the 58 year-old divorcee looking for romance brought Gloria the Silver Bear for the Best Actress. The film has been commended not only for its dramatic and comedical qualities but also for its score.
Gloria is brought to Finland in co-operation with the distribution company, Atlantic Film Finland. The Finnish premiere of the film was held at Season Film Festival at the end of March. Later in the summer, the film will be screened by the National Audiovisual Institute (at the Orion cinema in Helsinki, at July 15th, 24th and 30th and August 8th). In the fall season, Gloria may also be seen in cinema club screenings.

Wonderful loss
"The embryo's hands start out as flippers, and then there are cells in the flippers that are programmed to die so that they can create fingers. As humans we grieve our losses. Our grandmother dies and we see it as this awful thing. But science shows us that there must be loss in order for us to move forward; that we must loose something in order for us to grow. Isn't that just wonderful?"
My math professor, after speaking with my psychology professor, both of whom are absolutely delightful and intelligent people.

Be advised.... I booked reservations through Expedia. Expedia assured me this was a class 4 hotel. I booked four rooms and when got there two of the four rooms the air conditioner did not work and there were "no other rooms available" We had to fight with the hotel attendant the air needed to be fixed and finally he said ok. We gave them six hours and still only one was fix. After three hours of going between Expedia and the hotel people, no refund and you will like. It was filthy, lousy, smelled like they had cooked a dead skunk. To top that the hotel staff was rude and did not care and blamed Expedia. I will never ever again use Expedia and my recommendations to Expedia about the place was to bring out the bulldozers and make it a parking lot.

Newest group inducted into Hall of Honor
Published: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 6:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 6:24 p.m.
The Gadsden-Etowah Patriots Association inducted four individuals into its Hall of Honor during a luncheon Wednesday morning at Convention Hall.
Photo Galleries
This is really a day of celebration, said Larry Payne, chairman of the Etowah County Commission, who called the inductees Hammond Curry Turner, Charles Gilchrist, William H. Rhea III and the late Jerry McNabb a very distinguished group.
McNabb entered active duty in the military at Ft. Benning, Ga., in 1959. He completed Ranger and Airborne schools and was an infantry division platoon leader. In December 1960, he graduated fourth in his class in helicopter flight training.
On June 27, 1966, McNabb was killed when his helicopter was shot down during a combat mission near Tuy Hoa, Vietnam. He was awarded the Air Medal for Valor and the Army Commendation Medal with Valor.
McNabbs widow, Anne, accepted the award in his honor, saying she was honored and humbled.
Its been 43 and a half years, she said. Its nice to know that hes missed and loved by the Patriots Association. I appreciate that.
Turner began his military service in 1947, eventually reaching the rank of colonel, and retired with 18 years in the Special Forces. His honors include the Meritorious Service Medal and Korean Service Medal with four Bronze Stars. A chapter of the Airborne Association of the United States was named for him in 1971.
Turner said he felt overwhelmed about being honored.
Gilchrist was drafted into the military in 1968, and spent two years in Vietnam, fighting as a member of the 173rd Airborne Brigade.
He retired from Goodyear after 20 years of service. He owns Integrity Mortgage LLC and is serving his second term as mayor of Glencoe.
Gilchrist said he was thankful for the recognition. ... I love all of the veterans, and I love the United States of America, he said. I thank God for you.
Rhea served in the Alabama National Guard from 1969 to 1972. He earned a law degree in 1975 and practiced law for a number of years. He was appointed to the 16th Judicial Circuit Court bench in Etowah County in 1987 and has been re-elected four times. He is involved in many community activities.
Rhea thanked the Gadsden-Etowah Patriots Association for the award. I can truly appreciate the hard work that they do to put this together, he said.
Rheas father, the late Clarence Rhea, was inducted into the Patriots Hall in 1978.
Speaker for the luncheon was Lt. Col. Alan Brian Naugher, commanding officer of the local 151st Chemical Battalion. He spoke to the audience by webcam from Kuwait, where he has been serving since June.
Gadsden Mayor Sherman Guyton said its important to remember those who have served in the military, past and present.
They have made sacrifices to protect our freedoms and country, which is the greatest country in the world, Guyton said. We must continue to make sure our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are educated (and understand) and know what patriotism is.

Tazo Juiced Teas
BevNET Review
This is one of the best iced teas we have ever had. Tazo Mango uses the same great base as the other flavors -- herbal tea, spring water, and cane sugar -- plus it has a wealth of refreshing tropical flavors. Included in this beverage are mango, apple, passionfruit, ginger, and pineapple. Thirsty yet? We can't say enough about this product -- it's truly top notch.

I'm start off this review by being honest. I walked into this film pretty close-minded, a series of events led me to see this film. I honestly had no interest in seeing this film, even though I enjoyed the first film greatly. But when the movie started, I decided to act less cynical and just try to enjoy the film. Unfortunately, I could not.
I'll start off with the positives. First off, the animation is spectacular! Very colorful and nice to look at. Filled with a lot of nice vibrant colors. Also, the 3D wasn't that bad either. And lastly, the voice acting is pretty good. All the actors in the film do a great job with the material they're given.
I understand this is a kids film. But this film fails to entertain kids and adults at the same time. I didn't laugh once in this film. Admittedly, I smiled a handful of times and let out an occasional "Aww". But for the majority of the film I was pretty bored and uninterested. Which leds me into the story, this film is incredibly predictable (which granted most kids films are). But in this film it's just so blatant. The antagonist of the film reminded me of the same on in "Up". In fact, it's almost the same film.
Overall, I didn't like this film. And I honestly can't see anyone under the age of 10 liking this movie. Hopefully you enjoyed this review, it'd mean a lot. Thanks!

2016 ALSRT Annual Conference
April 15-17, 2016
Hotel Registraton Now Available
see Meetings Page!
2015-2016 ALSRT Board of Directors
|Greetings to all my fellow ALSRT members! I am very excited to serve as your President this year and am grateful for this opportunity to represent and serve you. I am looking forward to a great year. We had a wonderful annual meeting this year with the Georgia Society and it was so encouraging to see so many students attend! It was a perfect opportunity to get them involved and show that membership in the society is about so much more than just CEUs. Lakepoint State Park in Eufaula was a beautiful (even with the rain) setting for us to get together and learn about new developments in our field, catch up with old friends and make lots of new ones. Our 2016 annual meeting will be held in Huntsville and our Fall Conference this year will be in Mobile. I encourage you to attend these meetings and encourage co-workers who might not be members to come as well. Not only are they a good way to learn about what's new in Radiologic Technology but they are also a great way to get to know your fellow RTs. I am eager to see what this year will bring about for us as RTs and I am interested to know what you as technologists are looking for from your ALSRT. Please feel free to contact me or any of the Board members with suggestions, comments or concerns. I look forward to working with you this year! Beth
to the Alabama Society of Radiologic Technologists website!
The Alabama Society of Radiologic Technologists (ALSRT) is an affiliate of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).

Update on BenitoBenito lives with his life partner in his own house. He works raising chickens. He is a very enterprising man and, above all, hardworking. No business opportunity passes him by. The most important thing is that he does his work with dedication and love, making people trust and prefer him more every day. It is very important to mention that this work is his principal source of income and so he keeps working very hard to be able to keep receiving the fruits of his labor. He has decided to request a loan from INTEGRAL because he has been thinking about how to increase his income and has reached the conclusion that it would be a good decision. The loan will be invested in raising chickens by buying supplies such as: concentrate, parasite remover, vitamins, etc, to keep the chickens in good condition. In this way, he hopes to improve his income and to give his family better conditions, different to how they live now.
Previous Loan DetailsBenito is a hardworking, enterprising man known for his honesty in his daily chores. He lives with his wife and children who help him with his daily tasks. He has a chicken farm, in other words he raises them and sells them when they are full size. He also has a small plot of land for basic su... More from Benito's previous loan »
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of Apoyo Integral's program to help subsistence farmers located in high-risk regions of El Salvador, including coastal strips, river banks, and volcano fault lines. The program, which offers reduced interest rates, targets farmers who don't qualify for formal funding due to their low-income and geographical risk. By funding this loan, you are helping Apoyo and a local non-governmental organization extend risk-tolerant credit to even more farmers.
About Apoyo IntegralApoyo Integral (Apoyo) is a nonprofit organization offering financial products that enable clients to increase their working capital, purchase fixed assets, buy and remodel homes, expand agricultural business and more. The organization's target group is businessmen and women who have already established their businesses but need financial support to strengthen or expand them.
Like Kiva, Apoyo is committed to empowering women involved in business activities in rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand these services to an even greater number of poor clients in rural areas.
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.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

My hubby got me this bra as a gift, and it's so pretty that I can't wear it without showing it off. I have a very loose, low cut top that I wear with it and sometimes I wear it with a very sheer black top. I feel that the cups are too beautiful to keep hidden. As far as comfort goes I would rate it average.
This elegant two tone lace bra is a lightly padded underwire style with removable push-up pads. Cups are proportioned to flatter AAA, AA and A cups beautifully. Stretch lace band and adjustable, double front straps. Two hook and 3 column back closure. 90% Nylon/10% Spandex

Rush to Rest, by New York artists Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen B. Nguyen, is a response to the colossal seasonal ice sheets that founder on the Sheboygan lakefront in winter. Rush to Rest exaggerates the mass and color of the frozen expanse as well as the tangible manifestations of wind and water that generate it. This immersive installation draws attention to the power and poetry of wind and water—two elements of nature that promise a way toward a renewable future.

Britney Spears' eldest son will perform with her in Las Vegas.
The pop princess confirmed she has inked a deal for a two-year residency, called 'Piece of Me', at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in the US gambling capital, during her appearance on 'Good Morning America' today (09.17.13), where she shared juicy details about her rumored $310,000-a-night performances.
Asked whether her sons Sean Preston, seven, and Jayden, six - her children with ex-husband Kevin Federline - would appear on stage when she performs her 'Smurfs 2' soundtrack single, 'Ooh La La', Britney revealed: "Preston will probably be on stage but I think Jayden would have a hard time with it."
The singer is excited to be taking up a residency in Las Vegas and insisted she won't be resting on her laurels for the concerts, which kick off on December 27.
Former 'X Factor' judge Britney said: "I love Vegas. The energy is really good. I'm going to do my greatest hits, but I'm going to have to put some of my new material in to keep it fresh."
The 31-year-old blonde star has been hitting the treadmill hard in preparation for the gigs and can't wait to take to the stage.
She said: "I'm definitely ready. I sometimes have training for five hours a day."
The sexy star also praised Miley Cyrus - who has cited Britney as her idol - and her controversial performance at the MTV Video Awards (VMAS) this summer, which saw her grinding up against Robin Thicke in nothing but nude-colored latex underwear.
Britney mused: "I think anytime you do a performance that's that memorable you'll get criticism. I think she's doing her thing and being herself so I give props to her."

- In response to Endo's (NASDAQ:ENDP) cash-and-stock bid of $175 for Salix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SLXP), Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:VRX) ups it all-cash bid to $173, representing an enterprise value of $15.8B. Valeant expects the transaction to close on April 1, contingent on the satisfaction of the minimum tender condition.
- As a result of the sweetened offer, the termination fee increases $100M to $456M.
- Previously: Endo makes a move for Salix Pharma (March 11)
Mar. 11, 2015, 2:45 PM
- Endo (NASDAQ:ENDP) has submitted a proposal to Salix's (NASDAQ:SLXP) board to buy Salix for $175/share ($11.2B) in cash and stock, based on yesterday's closing prices.
- In an open letter (.pdf) to Salix's board, Endo states it's offering $45 in cash and 1.46 Endo shares for each Salix share. It predicts a deal would be accretive to 2017 EPS by 15%-20% relative to Endo's current plan.
- The offer price represents an 11% premium to Valeant's (VRX -2.7%) $158/share all-cash February deal to acquire Salix. Endo would have to pay a $5.50/share breakup fee to make the deal happen.
- Endo and Salix both remain halted. Before the halts, Endo was down 1.1% to $88.02, and Salix up 6.5% to $167.82.
- Prior Endo/Salix coverage: I, II
Mar. 11, 2015, 1:08 PM
- If Endo International (ENDP +0.5%) is ultimately successful in buying Salix Pharmaceuticals (SLXP +6.2%) for $170 - 175 per share, it would have to pay the breakup fee of $356M owed to Valeant (VRX -5.8%) which would add ~$5.50 per share to the deal.
- Endo made its offer in a private letter sent to Salix's BOD today.
- Update: The price being bantered about on social media is $165/share so, apparently, the breakup fee is included in the previous range of $170 - 175. Also, the offer is allegedly 25% cash and 75% stock.
Feb. 13, 2015, 1:58 AM
- Not only is Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:VRX) reportedly prepping a bid for Salix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SLXP), but Shire (NASDAQ:SHPG) is now rumored to be preparing an offer.
- Shire has taken initial steps towards a bid and is evaluating how to secure financing, sources told Reuters.
- Yesterday, Valeant Pharmaceuticals was reported to be arranging financing for a takeout of Salix at a likely price of more than $150 per share. Including net debt, Salix is valued at almost $11B.
- Previously: Valeant close to a bid for Salix (Feb. 12 2015)
- SLXP +1.2% premarket
Feb. 3, 2015, 12:43 PM
- Salix Pharmaceuticals (SLXP +3.9%) spikes from an intraday low of $133.65 to a high of $139.09 on alleged rumors of a bid by Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX -2.9%).

Nov. 7, 2014, 8:38 AM
- Salix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SLXP) is off 34% premarket on robust volume in response to its disclosure of accounting problems regarding wholesaler inventory levels. Per its Q3 earnings announcement, the levels for key products are: Xifaxan: nine months; Apriso: nine months; Glumetza: seven months; Uceris: five months.
- The company says that there is a lack of visibility with its wholesalers regarding sales, making it problematic to accurately forecast appropriate inventory levels. It is now negotiating with its main wholesalers to enter into distribution services agreements for each product in order to improve, among other things, the planning process. The agreements should be finalized in Q1 2015. It expects to adjust inventory levels to ~three months. Wholesaler inventory levels of Glumetza will fall to ~one month or less when a generic competitor enters the market in early 2016.
- Previously: Salix shares plummet, CFO resigns
Nov. 7, 2014, 1:53 AM
- Salix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SLXP) -38.3% AH after announcing an accounting revision that showed sales of its drugs not as strong as Wall Street's expectations. The changes were accompanied by the resignation of CFO Adam Derbyshire.
- The accounting issue also played a role in scuttling a potential takeover from Allergan (NYSE:AGN) earlier this year, WSJ reports.
- Salix lowered its earnings guidance for the year, and now expects 2014 net income of $400M, or $5.20 per share, down from earlier estimates of $475M, or $6.16 per share.

- Bloomberg reports Salix (NASDAQ:SLXP) is now in talks to sell itself to Actavis (NYSE:ACT), and that M&A talks with Allergan (NYSE:AGN) have faded.
- A tangled web: The WSJ previously reported Allergan was in "advanced talks" to buy Salix after turning down Actavis. Since then, speculation has grown Actavis will bid for Salix.
Sep. 29, 2014, 6:07 PM
- Following a successful Phase 3 trial, the FDA has approved Relistor for "the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in patients taking opioids for chronic non-cancer pain."
