We've just graduated from a year of deliberately perplexing drama. The iconoclastic finales of "No Country for Old Men," "There Will Be Blood," "Zodiac," "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," "The Mist," "Sweeney Todd" or even "The Sopranos" scorn the gift-wrapped catharsis that American entertainment once could be counted on to provide. They willingly leave us disturbed.
The English-language Polish film "Summer Love" goes further. This pierogi western disassembles the genre mechanics of the gunslinger movie and makes a Dada collage of its gears and springs. Writer/director Piotr Uklanski, a visual artist turning to film, tosses out all the parts that bore him (plot, character development) while playing games with the horse opera's classic images. He gives us glorious renderings of gunplay, galloping horses and grimy-looking desperadoes, edited together in a fashion that suggests a story is about to break out any minute. Teasingly, it never does.
Instead, bigger-than-life western archetypes -- our old friends the Man With No Name (Karel Roden), the Boozy Sheriff (Boguslaw Linda), the Lusty Barmaid (Katarzyna Figura) and the Wanted Outlaw (Val Kilmer!) -- clash in vignettes that seem to be half-remembered from the works of John Ford and Sergio Leone.
The look of the film is handsome, with widescreen vistas that sometimes could pass for the American Southwest and at other times resemble a chilly northern European limbo. The film is very much an in-joke.
Early on, Roden suffers a scalp wound that causes an exuberant amount of crimson blood to cascade down his face. Later, when bullets pepper a wagon hauling parcels of dry pigments, Linda appears with his face powdered bright blue. A point-of-view shot shows a severed head rolling away like a bowling ball. Roden and Figura have a sex scene in which their intertwined bodies graphically spell out S-E-X.
Such droll moments are stretched rather thin over the film's 94-minute running time, but hearing the actors drawl their 10-gallon dialogue in Pope John Paul accents gives many of the episodes a giddy punch.
Uklanski will be present to introduce his film on Saturday (7:30 p.m.).

Medtronic announced on Friday the U.S. and international launches of a balloon catheter for arteries below the knees.
The little balloons clear clogged or narrow arteries when they're inflated inside them at the point of blockage.
Doctors in Europe and the United States have started to use the devices, which now have regulatory approvals in Europe and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Medtronic said.
A doctor in Lexington, Ky., named Nexar Falluji praised the "pushability and crossability characteristics" of the balloons, and called them "excellent tools."
The catheters are aimed at people with peripheral artery disease. They treat the problem of poor circulation in the calf, ankle, foot and toes, which can lead to sores and amputations.
The innovation of angioplasty, a procedure first performed in 1977, has had an impact on Minnesota. In 1978, doctors at the Mayo Clinic were among the early U.S. physicians to use a balloon on a guide wire to open up a vein or artery.
Stents went on sale in the U.S. in the early 1990s. Boston Scientific started selling drug-coated stents in 2003.

Six schools in Florida will be the sites for new solar arrays that will provide electricity to the campus and offer hands-on science learning activities for students.
The arrays, dubbed "Next Generation Solar Education Stations," are being provided by Florida Power & Light Co. (FPL), an electric utility in Florida. They'll be used to generate emissions-free electricity and to provide educational opportunities for students, who can use the arrays to learn how solar power works.
Each station will generate 5 kW of electricity and will save each school about $800 per year in electrical costs, according to FPL.
Recipients of the solar arrays include Deerfield Beach Middle School, Hinson Middle School, J.D. Parker Elementary School, L.A. Ainger Middle School, Mandarin Lakes Academy K-8 Center, and SunCoast Community High School.
The FPL Group Foundation, the philanthropic arm of FPL, is paying for the installation at the six pilot schools. SunPower Corp., a manufacturer of solar systems and components, is partnering with FPL on the initiative.

We planned our trip several months ago and felt satisfied with the number of days and places however in the past couple of weeks a few people have remarked that we should drop a day or two off of places (Tallin for examplke) and go elsewhere (i.e. St. Petersburg - which would be too late to do anyhow given the need for a visa etc.).
This is our plan: Fly into Helsinki and spend 2 nights there. We then would take a morning ferry to Tallin and have 2 nights there. From there we would take a bus to Riga and have 3 nights (2 1/2 days), then bus to Vilnius for 3 nights (2 1/2 days). We have a flight on day 11 to Stockholm which would give us 4 nights (3 1/2 days).
Are we staying too long in any one place? I figured we could do day trips if for some reason we ran out of things to do.
Thank you for any input.

Your allotment of time sounds spot on to me. If you decide to drop a day somewhere I'd make it from Tallin but I'm not sure where I'd put it. We stayed in Helsinki for 3 nights on one trip and enjoyed it but people often suggest it's not good for more than a day or two. We have been to Stockholm two or three times and never tire of it. It's such a beautiful city. And it affords some nice day trips, so I guess that might be the best place to add a day if you decide to drop one from someplace else. Enjoy your trip. It sounds wonderful to me.

Thanks Julie! We're locked into the dates we are in Stockholm since I booked the flights from Vilnius there but I think we are good to go on what we have. I read your trip report and the Copenhagen/Stockholm debate and am really looking forward to Stockholm (and the other places too).
Report Abuse
I went on trip Warsaw - Vilnius - Riga - Tallinn - Helsinki. Everywhere I spent 2 nights (except Helsinki). And it was enough. In Helsinki I spent 1 day - I went there by ferry from Tallinn (and 3 night in Tallinn). It is cheaper to stay in Tallinn not in Helsinki. Everywhere I went by bus (Ecolines). From Warsaw it took all night - I was sleeping there, then 4 hours Vilnius-Riga; 4 hours Riga-Vilnius I booked everything in advance, so I was quite in hurry. I liked Tallinn most and I think it is not too much to spent 2-3 days in every city And I didn't like Warsaw - it's not as beautiful as I expected, better go to Krakow :/
Also you can try Neringa in Lithuania. It's near the sea and place is very beautiful.

Asia May Need to Sacrifice Growth to Cope With Fed: Basri
Asia's developing nations may have to sacrifice some growth next year and focus on keeping their economies stable amid potential fallout from higher U.S. interest rates, Indonesian Finance Minister Chatib Basri said.
Capital outflows are a threat facing emerging markets as the prospect of the Federal Reserve lifting rates lures funds, Basri said in an interview yesterday in Cairns, Australia, where Group of 20 finance chiefs met. In Indonesia, where the benchmark rate is already at its highest since 2009, policy makers may have to tighten further to preserve the nation's relative appeal to investors, he said.
"In the short term, some emerging markets may have to choose stabilization over growth," Basri said. "You cannot promote economic growth when dealing with this issue. It will exacerbate the situation."
The U.S. dollar has appreciated as the Fed edges closer to its first rate increase since 2006, while Indonesia's rupiah has dropped for five straight weeks amid global funds pulling money from local stocks in anticipation of higher U.S. borrowing costs. As some of the world's fastest-growing economies adapt to changing policy at the Fed, their contribution to global expansion might weaken, Basri said.
The rupiah declined 0.1 percent to 11,978 against the dollar as of 9:05 a.m. in Jakarta, prices from local banks showed. It has weakened about 4.6 percent in the past six months, among the worst performers of 11 Asian currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The benchmark stock index fell 0.2 percent.
Biggest Challenge
Basri's concern highlights the task facing G-20 finance chiefs as they attempt to lift collective economic growth by an additional 2 percent or more over five years. Officials agreed monetary policy should continue to support the recovery and particularly address deflationary pressures where evident, Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey said yesterday in Cairns.
The prospect of higher rates in the U.S. is the single biggest challenge facing Indonesia's new government, Basri said.
Indonesia's President-elect Joko Widodo -- known as Jokowi -- will inherit an economy growing at the slowest since 2009 and a persistent current-account gap that is weighing on the rupiah. Basri is the top candidate to keep his finance job under Jokowi, who takes office next month, according to a Bloomberg survey of 11 Indonesian analysts and academics.
While growth is slowing, the central bank needs to review its key rate, Arif Budimanta, a member of Jokowi's economic team, said last week, even as Governor Agus Martowardojo said Bank Indonesia's room to maneuver with monetary policy to support the economy is limited due to global conditions.
Budget Deficit
Basri has called for the incoming government to focus on narrowing the budget deficit, raising fuel prices and luring foreign investment. In Indonesia, where the key rate is at 7.5 percent, policy makers may have to hold firm to prevent funds from flowing out of the country, Basri said.
"Maybe the tightening cycle will continue, from both the fiscal and the monetary side," he said. Such a step "is not really conducive to promoting economic growth," he said.
To mitigate the risk of losing funds to the U.S., Indonesia also needs to diversify its base of investors, the finance minister said. Relying more on domestic bond buyers would help, he said.
"If global liquidity becomes tighter because of this tightening policy at the Fed, it will be more difficult for a country like Indonesia to get foreign financing," Basri said.

Build Lower Maintenance PPC Campaigns With These 4 Tips
March 15, 2016
Working at an agency, you quickly realize how important it is to prioritize. Finding the balance between client communication, routine account optimizations, and strategy development is crucial to an Account Manager's success. By spending a little more time in the beginning on new campaign builds, you can save time in the long run.
Segment Ad Groups By Match Type
In my opinion, segmenting ad groups by match type is the easiest way to create efficient campaigns in AdWords and Bing. If you've been following PPC Hero for a while, you know our opinions vary. I believe that if you have exact, phrase, and broad keywords in the same ad group, you are limited in how many negative keywords you can implement in the ad groups without excluding relevant traffic.
I prefer using only exact and broad match modified ad groups. By eliminating phrase match ad groups, you can save time optimizing search queries since the same query can match to both phrase and broad or modified broad keywords. This is also a time saver because if you're adding negative keywords to a specifically phrase match ad group, the query will very likely still match to the broad match ad group. If you're unsure how your current match types are impacting your campaign performance, I recommend reading this post.
Don't Wait To Optimize For Mobile
Unless you're bidding down 100% for mobile in your campaigns, go ahead and create mobile specific ad copy from the start. Creating mobile ads doesn't need to take a lot of time. Testing shorter description lines or even using the word "mobile" in ad copy can improve CTR.
Below is an example of two mobile ads that were served after using the query "oil change."
While the first ad doesn't use any mobile specific language, call and location extensions allow mobile users to directly call or visit the nearest location. The second ad, however, uses a call to action in the second description line that is not relevant for mobile users. "Print a coupon today!" may be effective when used on desktop, but doesn't make sense for mobile ads since users can't easily print from their phones. This ad could be changed to call out that users should view mobile coupons when shopping for places to get an oil change.
Considering mobile is also a great way to show clients you're thinking of the details and setting up their account for success. Even if mobile ends up performing horribly, you'll know you took the initial steps to lift mobile CTR instead of going back into the campaigns to create mobile specific ad copy just to find that mobile still doesn't work well for the account.
Ad Copy Tests
When setting up new campaigns, go ahead and set up your first ad copy test by writing, at least, two ads. Even if you aren't planning on checking the test results within a couple weeks, you can still receive significant results to share with your client. To actually save time, you should be intentional with the test and properly label the ads. This way, when you go back and check significance a month later you won't need to waste time determining what you've been testing. Also, when clients ask what language you are using and why, you'll have a solid answer and can quickly pull an ad report.
In general, using labels at the campaign, ad group, and keyword level is a great idea and can also save you time when optimizing accounts. Once you get comfortable labeling ad copy, try labeling other aspects of accounts to remind yourself of high return campaigns, why an ad group is paused, etc.
Set Up Email Alerts
Even though it's our job to optimize accounts daily, some things always slip through the cracks. It may be a broad match keyword that spent an entire campaign's daily budget or an account slightly overspending when the last day of the month is on a Saturday. Recently, I've taken advantage of the email alert settings offered in AdWords in the Automated Rules section. Even if I'm aware of the change, it's better to be safe than sorry. Below is an example of a rule to send an email if the selected campaign has a Cost/Converted Click over $150 over the last week.
By setting up email alerts instead of automated rules to make changes to your accounts, you can quickly stay updated with performance details without relying too heavily on automation.
Final Thoughts
Often, restructuring an entire account to gain efficiency just isn't realistic. Sometimes it's even harder to get client buy-in since there is no guarantee that an account, or even just campaign restructure won't tank account performance. I'm not suggesting you pick apart each ad group to fit the above structure, but keep these tips in mind when building new campaigns in existing accounts or when you're lucky enough to build an account from scratch. You'll have more time to test new features and spend time on account strategy.

Federal authorities have linked at least two men involved in a jewelry theft ring to the jewelry heist at Saxon's Fine Jewelers in the Old Mill District last May. Bruce Plummer, one of the co-owners says they hope to finally get some answers in the case: "We believe that they could be the fellows that did this. And we've been anxiously waiting. And we're just waiting for more information and it would be nice to have closure to this whole ordeal." Police have arrested five men in the ring; two of the men, Michael Young, 39, and Ernest Remor, 36, both of Florida, have appeared in a Multnomah County Court for conspiracy charges. They are charged with several jewelry thefts across the country, including Saxon's here in Bend.

The following will help answer the fundamental questions for literature: What is the author trying to do? How has he done it? Was it worth doing? If all of the following questions are answered in detail, the reader will certainly understand a work thoroughly. Not all of these questions are applicable to every work, and in some cases complete answers will overlap with other questions. A good reader may even devise new kinds of questions for special kinds of fiction such as science fiction. At the least, however, these questions will serve to help the reader formulate his thoughts on a work of fiction.
WARNING: Writing out the answers to these questions will not produce a literary essay. The questions are a guide to reading and thinking, not an outline for an essay.
A. Give a brief synopsis of the story. B. Is the plot logical and believable? Does it grow out of the characters, or does it depend on coincidental events? C. Is there a well-defined beginning, middle, and end? D. Is there one central episode, or is the plot more episodic with no one outstanding event? If there is more than one action, is there a main plot with sub-plots? E. Is anything seemingly irrelevant to the main plot? If so, does it serve any purpose? F. What is the nature of the conflict? Is there a climax or turning point? G. Is curiosity aroused? Does the author make use of dilemmas, irony, foreshadowing, flashbacks? H. Is the conclusion satisfactory? Why? I. Is the title a good one? Does it help to define the plot?
A. What is the historic time, place, social background of the story? B. Does the setting influence the plot or characters? C. Are any scenes especially appropriate for the action that takes place there? Would it make any difference if the story or certain scenes were set elsewhere? D. Is there any use of symbolism in the setting? E. What are the most striking scenes? F. How is the setting presented ? With photographic detail? Through a few suggestive details? Indirectly through thoughts and actions? G. How much time does the action cover? How does the author treat gaps in time? more . . .
A. Can you sum up the appearance and important characteristics of each major character? Which characters change during the story? Are the changes consistent and sufficiently motivated? B. Are there marked similarities or contrasts among characters? C. Which characters are distinct individuals (round characters)? Are there any types (flat characters)? D. Does every character have a function? Are any minor characters foils, or are they interesting in themselves? E. How are the main characters presented? Description by author? Through their own thoughts and acting? Through comments of others?
A. Can you describe the author's style? (e.g., Simple? Involved? Poetic? Colloquial?) Does it have individuality? Could you recognize another story of this writer by style alone? B. Is there any humor? C. Is the dialogue appropriate to the speakers? D. What is the point of view? Is there a reason for the choice of point of view? What is the effect of this choice? E. What kind of action does the author choose to expand? What kind to dramatize? What kind to narrate? F. What effects does the author's style produce in mood (the effect on the reader)? In tone (the author's attitude)? In irony or understatement or sentimentality?
A. On what levels can the story profitably be read--is it mainly a character study? Or story of action? Setting? Or is the primary interest an idea or thesis? B. What is the theme or total meaning? Do all the elements support this meaning? Does the author raise questions or try to solve them? C. Does the author make use of allegory? Parable? Symbolism? Myth?
HISTORICAL AND LITERARY BACKGROUND (Research materials may be needed here.
This section will usually be omitted in the reading of short stories.) A. When was the work written? What significance does this date have for contemporary events? Does the story relate to significant political, social, or economic events? B. What place does this story hold in the author's total work? Does the author make any useful comments on this story in his letters, essays, journals, or autobiography? C. In what literary tradition (realism, romanticism, etc.) was the story written? Does it fit the tradition?

Atlantic Takes on Foodies
A book review in The Atlantic on food writing takes on the nations foodie phenomena and gluttonous eating.
The Atlantic's March 2011 issue features a book review of food writing, including Best Food Writing, edited by Holly Hughes and Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain. Titled "The Moral Crusade Against Foodies," writer B.R. Myers declares the nation's 'foodie' phenomena a celebration of "mindless, sweating gluttony." He calls foodies out for their elitism and "gluttonous" meat consumption, such as eating rare and endangered animals (Bourdain has consumed guinea pig, bat, and raw seal). "The more lives sacrificed for a dinner, the more impressive the eater," Meyers states, noting the machismo surrounding foodie-ism, and he adds that "The foodies' pride in eating 'nose to tail' is no different from factory-farm boasts of 'using everything but the oink.'"

Legislative Evolution in Texas
By Janine Ray, LMT, MTI, CCMT and Pamela Ellen Ferguson, Dipl. ABT (NCCAOM), AOBTA® and GSD-CI, LMT (TX)
Texas members of various associations of massage, bodywork and Asian bodywork therapies are busy forming a new Texas Legislative Coalition to prepare for an advisory board. Solid legislative efforts by the Texas Association of Massage Therapists (TAMT), the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA), the Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (TAAOM), the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and the Texas Medical Association, recently helped to kill the Texas Health Freedom Coalition Bills SB 1084 and HB 1716 at the end of the Texas 82nd Legislative session in June.
The Complementary and Alternative Health Care Services Bills would have given anyone the right to practice anything on a shopping list of more than 20 professions and techniques, including Bodywork, Acupressure, Traditional Oriental Practices such as Qigong Energy Healing, Polarity, Folk Practices, Mind-Body Healing Practices, Cranial-Sacral and more, without licensing or certification or minimal education requirements. The random list was proposed without any apparent reference to or support from national organizations which represent the major professions within bodywork therapies.
The solid clout of opposing voices was the peak of legislative discussions prompted by a historic and unique April 7th roundtable meeting during the AOBTA national convention in Austin. Organized jointly by Janine Ray, TAMT Legislative Director, and Pamela Ferguson, former AOBTA Director of Council of Schools and Programs, the meeting included some 25 national and state representatives from TAMT, AMTA, AOBTA, Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP), Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), Feldenkrais Guild of America (FGNA), the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (RISI) and the United States Trager Association (USTA). Everyone gathered to discuss legislation that was currently in the Texas House and Senate, as well as the proposed bill that TAMT had been working on that would make the conforming changes to HB 2644 to combine all Bodywork Therapists, Asian Bodywork Therapists and Massage Therapists under a Massage and Bodywork License which would also honor the respective educational requirements and scopes of practice.
FSMTB's Model Practice Act
Coincidentally, the April 7th meeting happened to fall in the same week that the FSMTB announced their special Task Force to craft a Model Practice Act (MPA) for Massage and Bodywork. The purpose, as summarized by Debra Persinger, FSMTB Executive Director, and Sally Hacking, Director of Government Relations, is to provide a resource to legislatures and boards, to establish standards of minimal competencies, educational requirements, methods of addressing consumer complaints and evidence of unethical practice. The FSMTB chose a seven member task torce from their 41 member states. Six members represent their respective state massage therapy boards, including Deborah Overholt of New Jersey, who is also Legislative Director of the AOBTA. The seventh member is Yvonne Feinleib, director of the Texas Department of State Health Services Massage Therapy program. The task force's first report is expected in October.
What's Next?
While there was a consensus of opinion regarding the wisdom of a comprehensive MT/BT Bill at the April 7th meeting, former AOBTA President Debra Howard pointed out potential problems that would need to be clarified and addressed as Texas moves thoughtfully toward a new bill. Howard quoted an example of scope of practice issues in Louisiana, where ABTs must be licensed as Massage Therapists. Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese technique within the scope of practice for ABTs, was banned by the state massage board after an unqualified MT instructor incorrectly taught the technique in a classroom.
To continue resolving all of the above issues with a view to achieving some solid common goals, including honoring differences within the various professions of Bodywork Therapy, Asian Bodywork Therapy and Massage Therapy, the Texas members of the various associations expressed a collective need to form a new Texas Legislative Massage and Bodywork Coalition. The aim is to fine tune a piece of legislation that would detail and clarify the definitions of massage and bodywork, core competencies, and ethical issues related to protecting the public. The aim is work in tandem with the DSHS.
The ultimate vision is to evolve into an all inclusive advisory board to discuss issues like a grandfathering clause, and how this will impact independent schools and community colleges, as well as all facets of the professions. Of course any proposed legislation will depend on the necessary budget allocation for DSHS to implement the bill.
