The post Building for the Future: The Story of the WaterFire Arts Center appeared first on WaterFire Providence.]]>
WaterFire Providence is proud to announce a new video series detailing the history, construction, and future of WaterFire Providence's new headquarters, The WaterFire Arts Center.
WaterFire Providence is taking a big step as an organization and moving from its temporary offices into a permanent home. The WaterFire Arts Center, a renovated historic industrial building, will create a solid foundation for the future of WaterFire Providence by facilitating the production of its signature events and drawing its footprint from across the city into a single location. The WaterFire Arts Center expands WaterFire Providence's abilities beyond the artistic installation by also creating an artistic venue, an education center, and a repository of creative placemaking information that will be accessible to people across the globe and particularly to the residents of the Valley neighborhood.
Building our Future: The Story of the WaterFire Arts Center is supported by TRAC Builders Inc., a Valley neighborhood located general contracting and construction management firm. TRAC Builders is overseeing the project and shepherding it to completion. TRAC builders is committed to the community they serve, and that mission combined with a twenty year history in the industry have made them excellent partners in making The WaterFire Arts Center a reality. The chance to work on such a high impact and local project has TRAC Builders founder, Chief Executive Officer and President William Tracey saying:
"Our partnership with Waterfire Providence has unlocked an energy that we hope will be a boon to Providence. The Waterfire Arts center will be an artistic, innovative, and cultural destination. We are grateful to be a part of this project and excited to see how our neighborhood and Providence transform together."
Peter A. Mello, Managing Director of WaterFire Providence, recognizes the impact the new building will have on the organization and the community, and feels passionately about sharing the story of the building with the world. Speaking about the building and the video series, Peter has said
"We are really looking forward to sharing our experiences about the construction of WaterFire Arts Center and telling our organization's story in a weekly web video series, 'Building for the Future.' Over the past 20 years, tens of millions of visitors have come to Providence from all over the world to experience WaterFire. Now they, and Rhode Islanders, will have the opportunity to learn more about our nonprofit and, ultimately, visit one of the most unique art centers in the country."
Building our Future: The Story of the WaterFire Arts Center will be viewable through WaterFire Providence's Facebook page on Vimeo, on YouTube, and on instagram by following @waterfireprov.

The post Volunteer Spotlight: Jerry Suggs appeared first on WaterFire Providence.]]>
Whether it be on a boat feeding fires, working with the public to ensure the spectacle of the torch processions, or being an Ambassador at a guest station, Jerry Suggs appreciates it all. This is Jerry's third year as a WaterFire volunteer and he has enjoyed every event he's worked.
Before becoming a volunteer, Jerry was a frequent visitor of WaterFire events but had always wondered how he could get involved. He signed up for a volunteer orientation and decided to go "all out," volunteering for anything and everything available. At the orientation, he had a memorable conversation with Gary St. Laurent, our volunteer coordinator, about WaterFire and it's connection to the community. Since then, the Volunteer team always makes Jerry feel like a treasured member of WaterFire. "The entire WaterFire staff, top to bottom, has made me feel valued and a part of the team. My help and my input have been valued and appreciated."
Jerry is very thankful for the WaterFire staff, so much so that often times when he cooks or bakes something, he'll make extras and give back to the office. He feels that whatever he can give to WaterFire pales in comparison to what it gives him.
Jerry's favorite part about WaterFire is the teamwork that goes into putting on events. He likes interacting with guests as much as possible, and some have made lasting impressions on him:
"The proposal at the Christmas fire a year ago that my students (who were Santa's elves) helped WaterFire pull off! The little children whose eyes light up when I put a Ribbon of Light around their neck. The group of people from Long Island who asked millions of questions as they were trying to figure out how they can bring WaterFire to their community. All of those and many more have left me with great impressions of what our efforts have meant to them that night."
Jerry thoroughly enjoys being involved with and a part of WaterFire. "WaterFire makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger and greater than myself and I love being able to be a part of it and bring joy, happiness and excitement to the city and state. I hope to be able to grow in my involvement with WaterFire and do more for and with the volunteer program." We appreciate all you do, Jerry!

The post Slam Dunk WaterFire: A Big Win for Providence appeared first on WaterFire Providence.]]>
WaterFire Providence began the 2016 season with a dunk – a Slam Dunk! On March 18th, the basin of Waterplace Park was filled with visitors enjoying the warmth and firelight of a partial WaterFire Lighting. Braziers burned brightly and music carried far as enraptured audiences enjoyed each other's company on the banks of the river.
But basketball was in the air! Two days of NCAA tournament games sandwiched our WaterFire lighting March 18th, lending a competitive atmosphere to the event. Hundreds of excited basketball fans from Rhode Island and around the country applied that energy and their B-ball skills to test themselves with three classic shots at The Dunkin' Donuts Slam Dunk WaterFire game area!
Slam Dunk WaterFire participants took home hundreds of t-shirts, sweatshirts, and gift cards! Those who were particularly proud of their court abilities could have their picture taken and shared with them online, a memento that will let their friends know they can run the court!
A hugely popular event, Dunkin' Donuts Slam Dunk at WaterFire was also put on in 2010, the last time Providence hosted an NCAA tournament game. This year's incarnation was even larger and more exciting, with lights, fires, and even a Dunkin' Donuts tasting tent!

The post Volunteer Spotlight: Community Partners appeared first on WaterFire Providence.]]>
WaterFire takes hundreds of volunteers and a dedicated staff to make its events a reality. Though many already know this, fewer know how deep into the community WaterFire's roots really go. WaterFire wouldn't happen without a great many organizations and businesses from around the city donating, supporting, and otherwise helping us do what we do. Three of them took the time to express how grateful they are to be part of the magic.
Dunkin' Donuts, The Fogarty Center, and La Gondola Providence each support WaterFire's volunteers and operations in their own way. On the morning of an event day, often before the sun has even risen, Dunkin' Donuts generously provides a delicious breakfast for our volunteers and staff and helps load it into a staff member's truck. "Donating our Dunkin' Donuts products to those who work hard on these events helps to put our name out there in a positive manner," says Shannon Withey of Dunkin' Donuts. "It shows we are compassionate and appreciative of those who work so hard to put together fun and family-friendly events for our community."
By noon, the WaterFire team has already built braziers, set up stages, and is just as hungry as they were during breakfast. The Fogarty Center, a non-profit organization providing services to adults with disabilities, arrives along the river and cooks incredible lunches for everyone. "Often people with disabilities are seen as non-contributing, and the same people feel as if they do not have purpose," says Service Coordinator Melanie Simmonds. "WaterFire gives them a chance to be seen giving back to their community and pride in doing so."
La Gondola Providence has truly become engrained into the WaterFire scene everyone knows and loves, but they also give back to our amazing team of volunteers. "In terms of specifically giving to WaterFire, I am happy to donate gift certificates for any of their fundraisers, but particularly for the volunteer appreciation event," says Marcello, the owner. "They are the unsung heroes of WaterFire, always trying to keep the lowest profile possible, and I am happy to help in honoring them once a year."
All three of these organizations, like all of WaterFire's partners, are passionate about what WaterFire is and does. They know the magic the events bring to Providence and strive to keep it going by way of support. Shannon of Dunkin' Donuts says that "WaterFire is something our employees talk about every year. They all love going with their friends and families too."
Personally, she believes "the fires were stunning… the reflection along the water and watching the gondolas pass by was so beautiful. The stars of blue that could be purchased for a loved one in heaven truly touched my heart."
Indeed, La Gondola's presence on the river is iconic, and WaterFire wouldn't be the same without them. For Marcello, "there is a subtle and happy memory of campfires from my childhood, as well as ancient festival celebrations from a culture long gone, and maybe a touch of the chaos that will accompany the end of the world, however that comes."
The Fogarty Center appreciates that "WaterFire brings people of all walks of life together, sharing the warmth of the fire, volunteering and being part of something bigger than yourself, and appreciation for the arts. This is a recipe for a strong community who can bring joy and friendship to Providence."
Being part of Providence and its incredible culture is something WaterFire and our community partners are extremely proud of. It's what drives all of this effort and this giving. Marcello sums it up best:
The long and short of the display is that whatever one may think of it personally, the effect that it has had putting Providence on the map, so to speak, is undeniable, and another thing that I greatly appreciate myself is the resistance by WaterFire to make the display a permanent part of any other city's waterfront. It is something that makes Providence even more unique and special than it already was, and as a result I consider myself extremely proud to be a part of it every few weeks all season long, year after year. I know that Providence and my operation would not be the same without WaterFire's presence."

The post Volunteer Spotlight: Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island appeared first on WaterFire Providence.]]>
WaterFire would be nothing without its volunteers, and within that enormous group of hard-working Rhode Islanders are those representing their place of employment. Along with student groups, families, and many dedicated individuals, corporate volunteers help bring the magic to the city of Providence. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island not only encourages their employees to volunteer – they truly believe in WaterFire, in getting involved, and in Providence.
Many WaterFire regulars and volunteers will recognize the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI) building as the tall, rounded glass building with shades of blue just across from the Providence Place Mall, State House, and Waterplace Towers. This puts their offices right near the basin, offering a breathtaking view and extreme ease of access for WaterFire events. Christina Castle of BCBSRI's Community Relations Department says the view is incredible. "The best view in the building of WaterFire is from our Café!" she describes. "You can see the whole basin from the windows, which makes it an excellent place to eat lunch. We also have an amazing view of the State House, depending on what side of the building you're on."
The close proximity also adds to the volunteer experience, being so close to the fires and to everyone already down on-site working early in the crisp mornings of event days. "WaterFire is a great way for our employees to volunteer together as a team. It is a great experience for them because they know people will enjoy the fruits of their labor, including their family members and children at the WaterFire event." And, as an added bonus, she says, "it's also very convenient as all volunteer activities are so close to our building!"
BCBSRI, like many of our corporate partners, has a built-in volunteer program for its employees. However, their program accumulates some pretty impressive statistics.
"Each of our full time employees has 8 hours of paid volunteer time available to them per year, for use during worktime," Christina says. "Last year alone, our associates served over 7,200 volunteer hours to our local community. Our biggest volunteer event of the year is our annual day of service called Blue across Rhode Island, during which more than 70% of our workforce volunteers at various community-based organizations align with the company's push to create a healthier Rhode Island."
Often, that organization is WaterFire. Employees who volunteer also bring something back to the office: a better sense of teamwork. "It takes a team to do great things. Volunteering together helps build and strengthen relationships needed to make a difference," Christina says. "One employee shared their experience of building fires from a boat while volunteering at WaterFire. The employee remarked that 'the process helps teammates learn more about each other and communicate more effectively.'"
WaterFire is incredibly lucky to have BCBSRI headquartered here in Providence. Aside from the company's volunteer program, there is a true and deep connection to the city and to what WaterFire does for it. "Working in Providence is special because it is a place rich in creativity! Our employees' value volunteering with WaterFire because it allows them to be part of the culture that makes Providence so unique."
Yes, the Creative Capital is overflowing with art and unique places to eat, explore, and spend time with your family, which is all the more rewarding after having helped set up the braziers or other installations earlier in the day. "When our employees volunteer with WaterFire, they get to be part of events that thousands of people enjoy," Christina says. "It is very fulfilling to help make our community a better place, and we thank WaterFire for their continued partnership."

The post Volunteer Spotlight: Santa Claus appeared first on WaterFire Providence.]]>
Santa Claus – known as Ken Panciera on the off-season – will help bring the Christmas spirit to Providence during WaterFire's Christmas Fire on December 18th. "As you get older, Christmas becomes more of a marketing type of thing – you lose the spirit as you get older. But I'm a kid at heart."
Even though 2015 was Ken's first year as a volunteer, he jumped in the deep end and has been a consistent, remarkable part of each event. Along with our many incredible volunteers, he's part of what makes this city glow with light during the WaterFire season. "Providence is a great city, and WaterFire brings everybody closer together."
Ken likens the simple act of coming to a WaterFire to Christmas dinner, where friends, neighbors, and family gather to celebrate giving and closeness. "The mission is to keep the fires burning, and to make people gather and just sit and reflect about their own lives." And the giving? "80 or 90 percent of those putting on a WaterFire are volunteers – that's pretty incredible."
WaterFire's Christmas Fire, especially, is a moving time of giving. Thanks to the Providence Rescue Mission, visitors will be bringing toys, canned goods, clothes, and more to be donated to those who need them. And all of those trees – they're being donated, too. But well before agreeing to fill a couple of black buckled boots, Ken had a few concerns that needed to be addressed.
"I wasn't going to volunteer for the Christmas one – it's too cold, what am I nuts?" But then the spot opened up. Ken's been hanging with Santas around Providence to get ready. "I've been practicing – I just can't sit on my own lap."
As Santa, Ken will get to his wish-granting chair by boat, waving and greeting the visitors awaiting his appearance. "To see Santa arrive this way as opposed to a mall Santa – It's going to be cool to see them be excited to see Santa arrive."
Aside from Ken, the event will be put on by over one hundred other volunteers, many of whom Ken has become quite close with over the past few months. "It's like a circle of friends. It's a family." Everyone's been preparing for the event, but perhaps none as diligently or with as much commitment as Ken – or, rather, Santa. "Well, I've been trying to eat up. You took my measurements, but I don't quite fit the size just yet."
He'll get there.

The post Volunteer Spotlight: WaterFire's Veterans appeared first on WaterFire Providence.]]>
On November 7th, WaterFire Providence honored our many dedicated veterans, active military, and military families with a Salute to Veterans WaterFire. These brave individuals gave so much to our country, and believe it or not, a great many of them continue to do so. WaterFire is proud to have a team of veterans among our most devoted and passionate volunteers. Quint Roth, Doug Fox, and Reverend Dr. Richard "Rev" Dannenfelser have been kind enough to reflect on what WaterFire means to them, and what the Salute to Veterans Fire means to the military community.
Rev, a warm and outspoken volunteer, is a proud veteran who gets a lot of positivity out of the event. "Veterans and their families know the hell – the heartache and loss, the price and cost of war, and the promise and blessing of peace." WaterFire's Salute helps bring that blessing home. "One of the many casualties of war is the fear of being forgotten – we feel so special and honored!" We're delighted that veterans – perhaps especially our veteran volunteers – all feel the honor and thanks they should receive, even though they served for entirely selfless purposes.
"I find it very touching that veterans are finally getting the recognition they so deserve," says Quint Roth, who typically volunteers as a leading member of Special Ops. "Events like WaterFire's Salute to Veterans really make me proud to not only have been a veteran, but to also be a volunteer of WaterFire."
First Mate Doug Fox echoes Quint's feelings. He says the Veterans Fire "always makes me feel proud to have served my country. I've met a lot of people I've served with in the past and it's good to catch up with them." WaterFire's Salute to Veterans Fire brings together over 250 veterans, all being thanked and giving thanks to their brothers and sisters.
And that's one more way WaterFire creates community with these special events: bringing together people who share the same burden, who've been chasing the same goals. Our Flames of Hope Fire and our Salute to Educators operate the same way. Of course, our volunteers themselves are their own community.
"I have made many friends in the WaterFire community," Doug says. "We all do whatever we can to help each other out – just like a family."
WaterFire's proud of our veteran volunteers and the community we've built with them. As Rev says, "Hoa Binh Kao – which is Vietnamese for 'savor the moment' … moments to cling to, and also to say 'goodbye, I will never forget you' to the few who gave so much for the many, and the some who gave their all! Hoo'ah!"

"This is a professional establishment but I'm not scared to ask questions or admit to my mistakes. This is a family: we bicker, poke fun, laugh, cry, and gather after events to talk about all the crazy things we saw."
Natasha Martinez, Event Staffing & Volunteer Management Intern
"WaterFire Providence has a team that chooses to persevere together regardless of uncontrollable factors; the team is conscientious, driven, and determined, and it refuses to let any circumstance deteriorate the quality of experience for its audience."
Kate Thompson, Graphic Design Intern
The atmosphere here at WaterFire allows for creative thinking and fosters inquiring minds. All interns are encouraged to post blog posts frequently reflecting on events and their days in the office. This gives the interns a way to reflect on what they have done with WaterFire and to learn about what their peers are doing as well. The team here at WaterFire are great resources for the interns and offer very helpful tips and insights to aid the learning experience.
"A positive person might say each day is an opportunity to learn something new. To these individuals, I say: please come to the WaterFire offices and intern or volunteer– the learning is relentless!"
Lisa Burnstein, Nonprofit Management Intern
The fall season has been full of exciting events including five full lightings, Fireball 2015, and the Christening Ceremony for our new work boat Artemis! These events allow the interns to interact with our fans and see the results of everyone's hard work! The wide variety of events allows us as interns to gain a variety of experiences and offers different challenges with each new event.
"One of my favorite tasks so far is just interacting with our customers at the event. Their feedback on our merchandise is extremely helpful and using the Square is really fun."
Sarah Wojtusik, Branding and Merchandise Intern
"Although its hard work it's truly amazing to see all the staff, volunteers, and interns come together to provide a free experience to the public. During each lighting I work at the Brazier Society tent, which is a catered reception for sponsors and their guests. Working with Anja, fellow interns and I coordinate guest boat reservations and walk groups to the dock. Guests are usually eager and excited for this ride so it's great to experience such positive energy."
Cassie Boutsioulis, Nonprofit Management Intern

As a Mainer myself, this makes far too much sense. The only time I've ever seen the Girls Gone Wild bus was in Old Orchard Beach, and I'd like to keep it that way.
The man is from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and was arrested in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
Silly story, but really it's a good case for decriminalization and regulation. This conflict could have ended in tragedy. The article says he's been flagged by sex workers as a nuisance customer too..
As far as sources go I find that less than convincing.
Also, my comment wasn't "pro prostitution" any more than my beliefs in having a more pragmatic and holistic approach to drug use constitutes an endorsement of drug use.
FACT: Many of these "facts" are more than somewhat dubious. At least a few seem to be entirely spurious or are manipulatively written.

My father and I stayed with Manuel for 4 nights in his B&B and we enjoyed every minute of it. The location was ideal, with our room looking over Central Park and the subway right at the door...it couldn't have been better! Manuel is such a lovely, kind and accommodating host...he looked after us but also didn't intrude on us which was great. We came and went as we pleased and he makes a lovely breakfast in the morning which we appreciated! He gave us great tips and recommendations on the area and clear directions to find the apartment. He was always available if we needed anything. The room was comfortable and well kept with a perfectly apportioned en-suite. All in all, the accommodation was exactly what we were after for our time in New York and I'd highly recommend Manuel and his apartment to any of my friends or family who are planning a visit to New York. Thank you Manuel for making our visit so enjoyable!

El apartamento está en perfecto estado y en una zona muy agradable para pasear por Central Park y por el sur de Harlem y el campus de la Columbia University. Con parada de metro justo debajo del edificio que te conecta enseguida con el centro de la Ciudad. El dueño, Manuel Capellán, es una persona encantadora y muy amigable y te ayuda y te aconseja en todo lo necesario. Estuvimos dos personas durante toda la Semana Santa de 2016 y nuestra estancia no ha podido ser más positiva. Ya tenemos ganas de volver. Un fuerte abrazo a Manuel.

Went to NYC the weekend before Christmas and stayed at Central Park View B&B. Perfect doesn't even begin to describe our experience. The location, the view, privacy and amenities were just what we wanted. Manuel was very welcoming and such a beautiful soul. We felt like we were at home with all the perks of being in NYC. if you're looking for a safe, clean, comfortable, private place with a great view for an excellent price... THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE!!! We can't wait to go back to enjoy the city and see Manuel again! -Alex

Manuel is a wonderful host. He is friendly and at the same time discrete. The rooms have amazing views and the breakfast is just right. Staying here was one of the best parts of our trip. Also, I was a little nervous traveling alone with my 10 year old, but he made me feel quite comfortable.

We spent 5 wonderfull days in NY and this place was absolutely perfect as it is well located and served and the owner is very nice and let is feel like at home! Also the apartment was nice and the room was comfortable (we chose the suite with in room bathroom) and Manuel served us a different breakfast every morning. Fantastic view ad well as it si located right in front of north west entrance of central park thus it is also possibile to see the empire state building! What else? I will for sure try to stay here again for my next stay in NY!

We stayed with Manuel in Early December for 3 nights! Manuel is kind and helpful and gives great tips! The Apartment is really nice and really clean! Manuel goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable! You are located right outside of a metro station which is really nice.Be mindful at night when you are traveling because Train stops change on certain nights or weekends. Manuel will probably explain it. We had visited a few really cool pubs and we were super tired so we weren't mindful of the schedule and ended up on a train that passes Manuel's place! The lyft app for late nights may be the better option! :) Stay here! its lovely! Also, Manuel makes AMAZING coffee!!!

Llegamos en un viaje romántico a este hospedaje y nos sentimos como en casa pero con la dinámica y cosmopolita vida de NY. Es un apartamento muy bien ubicado que cuenta con dos (02) habitaciones. La nuestra con una gran cama y excelente closet, que tiene un bonito baño compartido, pero en la que siempre se nos dio prioridad. La otra habitación es muy buena, pero su cama no es tan grande, el closet más pequeño pero con su baño privado. Así, que pueden escoger cuáles son sus prioridades. Ahora bien, Manuel es una joya para quien llega a una ciudad tan compleja. Tiene mucha paciencia y ayuda mucho a programar la visita, dependiendo del gusto de sus huéspedes y el tiempo que tengan. Además, apoya en cualquier logística que se necesite. El desayuno es sencillo pero bien atendido, además, permite que sí el huésped lo desea, prepare la comida al gusto y facilita todo para ello. En realidad, no se llega a un sitio para dormir y desayunar...se llega a un lindo apartamento con una vista maravillosa, la perfecta ubicación y además, protegidos y con excelente compañía. Sin duda, volvería de nuevo sin pensarlo dos veces.

It was our second stay at Central Park View B&B and we loved it as much as the first time. The room is spacious and clean, the breakfast is really good with fresh bakery and fruits and a different kind of cheese every day. The host, Manual, is very welcoming and always happy to give you advises on places to go or things to see. With the subway right in front of the building and Central Park on the other side of the street, you couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend it to anyone going to New York.

Dear ladies and gents,
This was a game of Topalov against Vladimir in the World Championship Match, 2006. Topalov made a blunder by using his Queen to check. Instead, we should use the Rook to give a check. Direct straight line will be always the fastest way.

Kidnapped California Boy Found Safe
San Diego County sheriff's Lt. Lisa Miller said Nicholas Farber was found at a campground in Jamul east of San Diego.
"He's alive," she said.
The boy was abducted at 2 a.m. Wednesday in Palm Desert in Riverside County.
Authorities had been searching for a motor home with a Florida license plate believed to be carrying the boy.
His mother, Debra Rose and her former roommate, Carla Bender, have been named as suspects in the kidnapping carried out by two unidentified men.
Electronic highways signs in California had flashed the motor home's Florida license plate number, HS702J. Authorities also had issued a description of the distinctive vehicle, a tan 1997 Bounder motor home with kangaroo decals and an orange stripe on each side.
"We have great news. We have Nicholas, he is safe," Riverside County Sheriff-elect Bob Doyle told a news conference in Palm Desert.
Nicholas was the subject of a custody dispute between Rose, 38, and his father, Michael Farber, 47, who married in 1991 and divorced in 1996.
The boy lived with Rose until she was arrested on Aug. 15 in Colorado and held briefly for allegedly violating a restraining order involving another ex-husband. Farber went to Colorado and got Nicholas, then was granted temporary custody by a California court, which scheduled a Sept. 5 hearing on the father's bid for permanent custody.
The boy's mother was declared a suspect Thursday after her pickup was found at a Primm, Nev., casino. Rose and Bender were roommates in Colorado Springs, Colo.
A $46,000 reward had been posted for information leading to Nicholas' whereabouts.
A composite sketch of one of the kidnappers showed a possibly Hispanic man with a goatee, described as 5-feet-8, 175 pounds, in his early 30s, with a medium build, dressed in a dark sweat suit and carrying a dark-colored bag.There was no composite sketch for the other gunman because he wore a nylon stocking or mask over his face. He was described only as 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds.

Based on the famous Gustav Holst musical suite, this musical film takes watchers on a magnificent journey of the planets of the Solar System. Written by
Charles Halashuia
"The Planets" brings visual life to the classic Horst score with images that move beyond the graphic descriptions of the planets. It evokes thoughts of the solar system as it pertains to the systems that govern our lives, our society and our humanity. Ken Russell has always been known for his ability to let the audience feel uncomfortable. His images in this film are bold, but at the same time they show the subtle sensitivity that make all of his films so unforgettable.He explores the same genre that Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass made famous, but his work in this film stand completely on its own.

The Crazy Weapons US Airport Security Confiscated In 2015: It Gets Worse Every Year
This Guy Implanted A Cattle Tracker In His Hand To Hack A Phone
The TSA Is Using Behaviour Screening To Identify Illegal Immigrants
The Transportation Security Administration uses full-body scanners and other equipment to gauge whether travellers are a threat or not. And as much as it sucks to go through the TSA's invasive X-ray and scanning checkpoints, it turns out the TSA's tactics are pretty messed up even when they're low-tech.
The Craziest Stuff People Tried To Sneak Onto US Flights This Year
We may shake our heads at the TSA's antics from time to time, but the men and women holding you up at airport security are actually dealing with some pretty scary prospects. Like loaded firearms. And grenades. And daggers. And for whatever reason, a hell of a lot of sword canes. Here are some of the craziest things people have tried to sneak past US airport security in 2014.
Ebola Airport Screenings Won't Do A Damn Thing
Along with shoe X-rays and toiletries in ziploc bags, we can now welcome fever checks as the latest addition to airport security theatre. Today, US officials announced they will screen passengers coming to five major airports from the African countries hit worst by Ebola — despite no real evidence that it will make us safer.
It's Shockingly Easy To Hide Guns And Bombs From Backscatter Scanners
The TSA's full-body scanners never seemed like a very good idea. They're a great way to unwittingly show your naked body to government officials, for one. They're also insanely easy to trick. We've suspected as much for some time now, but a team of university researchers just confirmed some scary security flaws.
The TSA Is On The Lookout For Electronics That Won't Turn On
A Super-Sensitive Bomb-Sniffing Chip Could Be The Future Of Security
A Removable Belt Buckle That Makes Airport Security A Breeze
If you're tired of almost having to completely undress as you're herded like cattle through airport security, there's an entire subset of the clothing industry designed to make that ordeal a little more bearable. Like Hummus Apparel's new line of belts featuring a buckle that can be easily slipped off and dropped in a bin, instead of having to remove your entire belt.

Spotlight on Research
By Editorial Staff
Welcome to the world of massage research! This periodic column will keep you abreast of the latest research documenting the benefits of massage and bodywork. Published research will be summarized, with references to the full study text provided; abstracts of research projects planned or in progress will be reproduced verbatim whenever possible.
Developing a massage protocol for research on temporomandibular joint disorders.
Purpose: A massage protocol for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) was developed and pretested for use in a TMD research project. Massage therapy has never been incorporated into a TMD research design.
Methods: Four potential TMD protocols were identified, based on a literature search (MEDLINE and Bodywork Knowledge Base) and follow up interviews with massage therapists who reported experience with TMD or experience developing massage protocols for research. Techniques across the protocols were consolidated into a list of TMD-specific massage techniques. Expert review helped generate a core TMD-specific massage protocol that was pretested using eight TMD patients. Feedback from the patients, the licensed massage therapists, and the supervising massage therapists was used to select two massage therapists to deliver the protocol in clinical studies. The protocol specified setting; forms and record keeping; session length; treatment duration; and specific massage techniques. The protocol was evaluated by patients along five dimensions: effectiveness, responsiveness and overall satisfaction (1=worst, 5=best), as well as pressure and communication (3=just right).
Results: TMD patients found the bodywork protocol to be acceptable, including intraoral work. Mean values for the five variables were: effectiveness, 3.9; responsiveness, 4.2; overall satisfaction, 4.3; pressure, 2.7; and communication, 2.8.
Conclusions: A flexible, yet repeatable, TMD-specific massage protocol was developed in accordance with the best practice in the massage profession. The final protocol incorporated Swedish, myofascial, craniosacral, neuromuscular therapy and structural integration styles, and combined intraoral work with external massage focusing on the trunk, neck and face. Although the protocol was developed specifically to study the effect of massage on TMD, the development process could be adapted to generate syndrome- or condition-specific massage protocols for research with other complex, chronic disorders, such as migraines or fibromyalgia.
Massage therapy for chronic low back pain in low-income patients.
This ongoing study examines the effects of whole-body massage therapy in reducing pain and improving health among low-income Hispanic and Caucasian women who suffer from chronic pain. In many cases, chronic pain is part of more complex mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety. Whole-body massage therapy, which is not readily available in poorer communities, offers a complementary approach to standard treatments of chronic pain. Each patient in this study receives eight hour long massage treatments from experienced massage therapists.
The working hypothesis is that massage therapy will be useful in reducing pain, improving functional health, and curbing excess medical utilization in these patients, for at least eight weeks after the program. To test this hypothesis, researchers will compare health care utilization (office visits, urgent care, and emergency care) from three periods: the year before the study; during the six months of the study; and one year after the study.
Dr. Candib has begun massage treatments on 54 patients, and has collected detailed information about them. This information is awaiting analysis by a statistician. Dr. Candib has also secured funding from the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, to hire a translator to conduct interviews with Spanish-speaking participants in the program.
The primary challenge so far has been frequent cancellation of appointments, often due to problems with transportation and child care responsibilities. Another difficulty has been a low rate of participation in follow up testing. Although these obstacles have slowed down the study, it is still in motion.
Editor's note: Both of the above abstracts were funded by the AMTA Foundation (amtafoundation.org) and presented at the 2002 AMTA National Convention; they appear in Massage Today with permission from the respective authors.

This internet-site has a strict "no scanks allowed" policy, so you wont find any trashy harlots or old biker mamas. All of these experienced ladies are stylish and sexually adventuresome females who look absolutely sexually excited as they get older.
