Playing guitar is an example of an activity that puts people in a state of "flow"; other activities include things like painting, cooking, playing sports, and writing (whoa, are we in a state of flow right now?). Flow is characterized by a feeling of strong concentration, intense focus, and a lack of concern for almost everything else around you, including physical needs (even eating). According to Big Think, "flow" activities "require more work on our part but are characterized by full immersion and focus." The concept of flow was popularized by positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, who researched this type of enjoyable immersion by speaking to artists, athletes, and other people who often "lose themselves" in their work.

A 2016 paper published in The Journal of Positive Psychology took this concept a step further. It shows that even though these flow activities make us happier, we're still apt to spend our time on passive activities, such as browsing Facebook. In two studies, 300 people were surveyed about different types of activities. The paper explained flow activities as requiring "clear rules, challenge," and "a high investment of energy." Unsurprisingly, the participants didn't feel that passive activities, such as watching TV, would bring them us much happiness as flow activities. But watching Netflix is much easier than learning how to read music, even if playing an instrument is more rewarding in the long run.

The Beginning of Shadowwalkers
This is an attempted beginning of a novel to come, about two families, both different, who begin to see strange shadowy beings around their homes. As the plot unfolds, the characters will be drawn together by forces within themselves to face the things that are emerging from the interdimentional portal that has just opened up near their home.
Stepheni Cromson sat in the study, her eyes on an easel, holding a fine-tipped paintbrush in her dainty, long-fingered hands.
she had suddenly risen from bed at the crack of dawn, struck by a weird inspiration from a dream she could barely recall, and compelled to come into the study and paint.
her brush moving in quick, deliberate strokes, her mind concentrated on the painting so much that she did not even bother to glance at the clock, Stepheni's emerald-green eyes were tired and dry, but her mind was clear and entirely, inexplicably focused on finishing this painting.
it was of a landscape, a strange unrecognizable landscape, with snow, an inky black sea, and a dark starless sky.
black, silver, green, blue and gold, she weaved different colors together like a well quilted blanket, relishing in the creative bliss only an artist can feel.
she had never been struck with inspiration this strong, because after all, she wanted to be a journalist, not an artist.
the clock said 5:01 in the morning, but she didn't care. the only thing that mattered was finishing this painting before she went to school at eight o clock.
as she drew, she was being guided by thoughts that she at first, thought were hers.
"mountains. make them silver. they are overlooking the sea. below there are mounds of snow flecked with gold."
these thoughts surprised, if not frightened her, for they were strong, commanding, irresistible, and not her own.
she could not remember the dream she had been summoned from, but the forgotten details were pouring from her subconscious like a relentless river, desperate to make it to the ocean.
she dipped her brush in a nearby glass of water, shook off the access moisture, and dabbed at the silver paint on her palette.
in the painting now, there was something of a forest, although it was nothing a forest should look like. it was blue, crystalline, but did not shed light into the abyss between it.
"there is someone standing on the mountains overlooking the sea. they are staring at the land below. make sure the mountains can be seen against the horizon."
Stepheni was frightened. what she was painting scared her, but at the same time in excited her, because it was beginning to represent a coming revelation, a hidden truth, that was trying to let itself be known. her father Ned Cromson, was sleeping on the couch in the living room, as he always did. he was snoring, but Stepheni did not hear him. she did not hear anything but her own frantic thoughts, did not see anything but the mysterious art she was creating, of that strange world on her canvas.
Stepheni could not believe how detailed, how real looking, this painting was turning out to be. she had never made anything close to this before. as the brush kept moving, and her thoughts kept racing, she was becoming aware that something was behind her, that a presence was watching her. she had not heard footsteps enter the study, but she could feel someone there.
suddenly, on the far wall, near her mother's drawing table to her left, Stepheni saw something out of the corner of her eye.
a shadow, something dark, tall, looming, menacing, the vague shape of a man standing against the wall.
Stepheni gasped, turned in the chair she was sitting in, and looked at the wall.
to her surprise, and relief, nothing was there.
this strange thing in her periphery had pulled her away from the almost hypnotic urge to finish the painting.
when she looked at it, she saw that it was already finished.
the landscape was filled with almost luminous snow, and in the distance were mountains, in which a figure could be seen looking down from them. on the other side there was a forest of large blue crystals, and standing in the snow, was a humanoid shadow. just like the one she had just glimpsed on the wall to her left.
Stepheni almost screamed. she had not painted this. sure, she had been in such weird state of mind when making it, but she was so focused that there was no doubt in her mind that she did not remember painting that shadow.
for almost half a minute she sat there, staring at that shadow thing, and was abruptly filled with a sense of revulsion. she had to put away this painting. her parents should not see it.
hastily, warily, she picked up the painting and took it to her room. there was enough room in her closet for it to sit there without getting smeared.
after that was done, she dared to look at her bedroom clock.
it was 7:39! Stepheni was seventeen, a year older than her brother, Dan, who was smart enough to have already left for school a long time ago. she tried to be a straight A student, so that she might one day become a journalist. she had just aquired a job at Payton's Outdoor And Hunting Store, as a clerk. Stepheni could not afford to be late for school, so she would really have to hurry.
Stepheni went over to her vanity mirror, and pulled her long blonde hair into a ponytail, as she often did, and for a moment studied her reflection.
she looked tired, her normally vibrant green eyes had dark circles under them. her almost too thin figure was still wearing a Mickey Mouse nightgown.
for the first time today she noticed the sun was peeking in her bedroom window. the sun relieved her. the prospect of a new day relieved her, because it always promised something new. today was different. she could sense it with every fiber of her being. something was about to change, though she didn't know what.
for the past few days it had been nothing but rainy downpours, and now the sun drove away the clouds and made everything warm like spring weather should be.
turning away from the window, Stepheni noticed her shadow on the wall, which reminded her of what she had seen in the study only moments before.
"what was that thing?" she wondered to no avail. "no one died in this house. it was built recently, we are the only ones who have been here. there is no ghost here, if ghosts exist."
the Cromsons were just an ordinary, hardworking family, with no more interest in the supernatural than a scientist who studies plants. nothing like this had happened before. Stepheni blamed this on her imagination immediately, and hoped that if she ignored it, it would go away.
and even if she did tell her family, they would never believe her, she knew that.

~The Forbidden~ pg 4
"Civyl?" She blinked sleepily at the man who leaned over her now, face but two inches from hers. Fiora could feel the heat of his body, he was so close. For a moment her heart leapt, thinking that perhaps he had remembered who she was and had come to claim his bride at last, but there was a wild fear in his eye as he stared at her. Her senses came alive with the pump of adrenaline her own fear brought. "What?! What's wrong?!"
She stared at him with wide-eyes, trying to read the storm on his face as he lifted himself with deliberate slowness. His voice was a gruff rumble deep in his chest. "Nothing... Nothing is wrong." The sound of his knife being withdrawn from the ground just two inches past her ear drew her gaze. "I just… saw a snake, is all."
"SNAKE!?" Her heart constricted at the word as she recoiled from the ground where his knife had been. There was nowhere else to go but into his arms to get away from the vile creature. She literally climbed onto him as he sat back with a grunt that her mind barely registered through her fear. "I hate snakes! It was two inches from my head?! Ooohhh uuugh…" She shuddered at the thought as she stared at the spot ready to bolt if there was any sign of movement.
"It's gone now," he reassured into her hair with slow and careful words as if afraid he would frighten her again. "It moved before I could catch it."
Awareness of where she actually was dawned on her with a creeping heat. As familiar as he was to her, Fiora still remembered she was a stranger to him. She peeked at his face with a hesitant sideways glance and she could not read his expression apart from the way the left corner of his mouth twitched. He only did that when he was really upset about something. "Thank you," she whispered as she pulled away, "for scaring it away, I mean."

Cuban Cepeda signs pro deal with Japanese team
HAVANA (Reuters) - Leading outfielder Frederich Cepeda has become the first player from the Cuban baseball league to sign for a Japanese professional team since the communist government relaxed its player rules last year.
The 34-year-old Cepeda, who has played in three World Classics, is set to travel to Tokyo next month after signing a one-year contract with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Central League, Cuban state Radio Rebelde said on Saturday.
"I'm looking forward to playing baseball, working hard and getting good results," Cepeda told the radio station in a telephone interview.
"I'm going to a different league, a different culture in which I'm going to immerse myself," added the switch hitter, who gave no details of the deal.
"During the national series, the (Japanese) team's manager (Tatsunori Hara) saw me playing here as an outfielder. It was his decision (to sign me)."
The Castro government relaxed its rules in September on players leaving Cuba to play professionally abroad. After Fidel Castro took power in the 1959 revolution, professional sport was banned in Cuba in 1961.
"Up to now, officially the only signing with Japanese baseball is mine," Cepeda said, but added that others could end up going to Japan, China or (South) Korea.
"(Cepeda) really was a player we had to keep our eye on, he's a great addition to our club," Hara told Saturday's issue of the Japanese newspaper Nikkan Sport.
During 17 seasons playing for the local Sancti Spiritus team, Cepeda, an Olympic gold medal winner with Cuba at the 2004 Athens Games, had a batting average of .329 with 269 home runs. Continued...

Two and a half years ago McCain closed the vegetable processing facility in Smithton and 200 people lost their jobs.
When the news broke there was panic and now the news that the Simplot vegetable processing plant in Devonport could close in the next few years is having a similar effect.
But almost three years on - how are things looking for the McCain workers who lost their jobs?
Margaret McLaren, Eddy Schuuring, Maxine Riley, Sandy Parker and Sharon Smith lost their jobs at the factory almost three years ago.
They say there is light at the end of the tunnel.
"I just thought 'Well, I've got to get on with life, and I've got to find something different to do," Margaret said.
"So I went out there and looked til I found something."
Sharon Smith worked at the factory for 21 years. Her husband lost his job with Gunns Forestry soon after McCains closed their doors.
But, Sharon says, it wasn't the end of the world.
"Eventually, it was able to be seen as a new door opening,
"I went on to study, and I'm still studying, to become a councillor."
Sandy Parker decided she wanted to stay in Circular Head, with her husband and young family.
"I tried very hard to get people to see that there is a future here, and to stick it out,
"And I think a lot of people have, they've really stuck it out," she said.
Eddy Schuuring worked at the factory for 38 years.
He wasn't surprised to hear the news that Simplot workers faced the same situation that they did three years ago.
"My thought was, well here we go again," he said.
"And I feel for them, but, you know, the sun's going to come up again the next day."

An appealing antique Victorian still life of hydrangeas, violets, and a fan, a thoroughly romantic confection. The Victorians loved nature in all her profusion so the subject matter is spot-on and perfectly complements the gently faded presence of the piece as a whole. A perfect state of 'romantic decay.'
The fragility of the blooms in this painting, just cut and on the cusp of wilting, the fan which concealed a flirting smile set aside, suggest a poignant narrative. The specific flowers depicted telling perhaps of an unrequited love, as the Victorians spoke in Floriography (the language of flowers), in which blue violets represent faithfulness while hydrangeas convey heartlessness.
This painting is beautifully framed in what appears to be its original wooden frame with a wide gold liner. Ready to hang. I will have a dust cover applied to this piece (paper on the back) before it ships as it needs one.
CONDITION is good, this is a very appealing piece. There has been restoration at some point, and the varnish is uneven in places with one small spot of in-painting in the lower right corner. The frame has a couple of small losses and touch-ups, but this painting is, overall, a lovely period piece. Signed at the lower left "R A Kendall" There is also some illegible writing in pencil on the top stretcher, although I think the last word is 'Kendall', the artists name. Measures 22" x 17 7/8" overall, with a sight size of 15 3/8" x 11 1/2". Weighs 6 lbs. 1 oz.
This would be a wonderful painting in a boudoir or dressing room. but could easily serve in any sheltered spot. It suggests much, and while its original intent may be long forgotten, it speaks to us in an evocative whisper. Enjoy!

It was December 1996 in Cape Town, South Africa, and it had been a typical weekend. I was with three friends and we had split an ecstasy pill on the Saturday evening, then gone to a couple of clubs. The "trip" wasn't great, and it wasn't the first time I had vomited after swallowing a pill, but that soon passed. My friends and I had gone to chill out in the forest. We walked around having profound conversations, then went home and crashed out. On Sunday and Monday we had all been coming down and felt a bit rough, but by Tuesday I was back to normal.
I had just turned 18, and was in South Africa on my gap-year, travelling, working and playing. My boyfriend, Adam, and I were out walking later that day when I felt an excruciating pain. I was short of breath, as if I were having a panic attack. The only conclusion I could come to was that I was still coming down from the drug.
Back at Adam's house, the anxiety and depression wouldn't go. I stayed in bed for two days, unable to stomach any food. The scariest thing was not knowing if the feeling would ever end. I thought that if it continued for a few more days I would have to kill myself - no one could live with such agony.
Everyone was sympathetic, but no one knew what had happened to me. My friends who had shared the pill were as right as rain. They wondered if I had been depressed when I took the E and whether the drug had brought it out. They didn't convince me. I was possessed by fear.
That pill was the tenth time I had taken ecstasy. The first time was a revelation: a feeling of instant euphoria I had never dreamed existed - and there was no comedown. I kept taking it - never more than a single pill on any occasion and usually much less - in an attempt to recreate that moment of joy. I never could.
Each time I took it the high was more mediocre and I started to have panic attacks and throw up. This happened about four times, but the sordidness of these attacks failed to alert me to the danger. That last weekend, when I took a pill, I had vomited in the club and panicked for ages.
I had never before experienced even a glimmer of what I later found out was clinical depression - complete with panic attacks - before I started taking E, although I had always been "a worrier". Later, I could rationalise it in terms of brain chemistry and a lack of serotonin (the chemical in the brain that makes you happy), but at the time my mind pictured the experience as a black hole where no one could reach me. I was very, very scared.
After two days of this terrible depression I felt I had no choice but to call my parents back home in Oxford and, with shame, tell them what was happening. Mum and dad had no idea that I'd been taking drugs, but were sympathetic. Luckily I have lots of relatives in Cape Town; otherwise they would have demanded I fly straight home. They told me to go straight to my gran's house. Sleep was the only respite from what felt like neverending panic. The next day the agony was still unbearable.
This stage of feeling so depressed I didn't want to get out of bed lasted for three months. I saw every specialist in Cape Town - psychotherapists, psychiatrists, GPs, homeopaths, naturopaths, even clairvoyants. Some suggested antidepressants and tranquillisers, but I now had a horror of taking any kind of pill. The betrayal of the so-called "love drug", as it showed its dark side, created a fear of all things connected with love and happiness. It was like inhabiting a horror film. The beautiful mountains of the Cape took on a threatening aspect. Friends showing me love were monsters in masks.
Then, one evening in March, I had a terrible vision of being eternally alone in hell. I think I was having a complete breakdown. Once again I called my parents and they asked my uncle to look after me. That weekend I saw a psychiatrist, who told me I was possibly "psychotic" and persuaded me to take antidepressants and tranquillisers. I felt it was my last hope, so I swallowed my first dose of serotonin-uppers. But after a few hours, my hands started prickling uncontrollably and my heart began to pound. My arms then became paralysed as I felt the familiar hot rush of a panic attack. I screamed, "I'm dying, take me to a hospital, please help me, help me!"
Thankfully, that was the last panic attack I ever had. I threw away the antidepressants and was prescribed a homeopathic remedy.
Gradually, between March and June, I started to feel less anxious, although I was still very low. One day in June I went for a walk on the beach and felt a glimmer of happiness. The next day I was about to leave for my new job as a waitress when I felt it again. There was a peaceful pleasure in getting ready and going out, in the colours and scents around me.
The depression I had thought might never end suddenly did. Within days I was able to enjoy things again: gentle music, drawing. By the time I came home to start university at Cambridge in October 1997, I was able to function normally.
It wasn't over, though. Halfway through my first year at college, I had a minor relapse. It lasted a month, and I was forced to go home to my parents because I was unable to work, socialise or eat. I was lifted out of this second bout of depression by taking Prozac for a month or two, something I could never have faced a year before.
Looking back, it was the worst six months of my life. None of the experts was able to explain exactly what happened to me, nor can anyone tell me if there are long-term effects - though, after four years, it finally feels over for me.
My case went down in the records as a rare allergic reaction. I would like anyone who is taking, or thinking of taking, the drug to know what could happen. When I was seeing doctors they invariably warned me not to take drugs again. To me this was like telling a person with a broken leg not to stand in the middle of rush-hour traffic.
Everything in me recoiled in horror at the thought of ever taking another ecstasy tablet.

|This is a discussion on Are freeroll players morons or is their ATC play correct? within the online poker forums, in the Learning Poker section; I just finished a freeroll ..I violated by personal rule of never calling a preflop shove at the beginning of a tournament. On the 3rd
Are freeroll players morons or is their ATC play correct?
I just finished a freeroll ..I violated by personal rule of never calling a preflop shove at the beginning of a tournament. On the 3rd round I open-raised KQs 3BB from middle-position, all folded except the small-blind who shoved 63 (!!). I called, and of course he paired his six on the flop, and I was done.
I've noticed lower-stakes ATC players do REALLY well, which leads me to question all poker advice I've ever read.
for every ATC player doing well, there are 3-4 who bust early because they were called by better and didn't suckout. It's just the one doing well is far more noticeable because he stays around longer and pisses more people off by having his stupidity be rewarded.
So they really are morons. It's just a certain percent every game gets lucky and become successful morons
Any time you put your life at a tournament in ATC, you're not playing good poker. The bigger the stack you put on the line pre flop ATC, the bigger the mistake.
I don't particularly like the call with KQ either, you are never in that great shape with KQ, unless you are running against Kx. For instance you are 2-1 against 63. I don't want to put my tournament life early on that odds, not even on a freeroll. I'd much rather race with 66-99 early in a freeroll, than a hand like KQ (a lot of time you won't even have two live cards on all in pre flop situations).
You have to think of it this way BDC, Freerolls are free, hence the name. So more often than not you are going to have players who dont have any bankroll playing these in hopes of earning $5 to start playing with. And I am not trying to sound rude, But more times than not, The players who do not have a bank roll, Tend to have very little to no experience. And with having little experience, Comes Little skill. So I hope this helps you out a little and good luck.
re: Poker & Are freeroll players morons or is their ATC play correct?
Honestly it's easier you win playing playing with real money that freerolls. As well as have thousands of players have people who are not even there it will win, bet by bet. I would advise not enter the influence of these jogaradores but anger, ohhh from the.
I always assume that my opponent in a freeroll is gambling if they go all in early in a tournament and I only play premium hands (AA< KK< QQ). I don't start playing poker until about a third are eliminated. Also, it's a freeroll.... don't stress out over the silly bad beats
Poker is a game that is governed by the rules of mathematics and probability so no. They might get lucky in the short term but they will never win in the long term which is what matters.
More importantly though, you can't really learn anything while playing for fake chips. As long as you understand the rules of the game I would suggest playing for real money whether online or in a casino.
re: Poker & Are freeroll players morons or is their ATC play correct?
Depends on what their goal is, if they have one. Most of the time I will play seriously, however there are times when I go with the theory of double up early, or bust out since it does not cost anything. I will only ever do that in freerolls that the site runs that have more people.
This is a good question upon which to base ones consideration of the issue of probability, which, let's face it, is what poker is all about.
The chances of ATC winning a hand that is all in pre flop is not too bad in terms of probability, therefore the bet of 'all in' (whatever size that may be for no investment) added to the probability that not many people will call it meaning the probability is probably improved by this factor, is really not too bad for someone who has made no investment at all in the game.
On the face of it, they have nothing to lose, and any win, therefore, is a bonus.
It may be argued therefore that the person who matches an all in pre flop shout early on in a Freeroll tournament (without having a relatively premium hand) is the moron and the all in fish/donkey/moron, is actually exploiting weaknesses that may be around a very young (in terms of time at this tourney) table.
Are free roll players morons, that's the question correct? Well, theirs different types of Free-rolls, so which ones are we talking about? Are we speaking about just those on demand free rolls? Or are you speaking about Free-rolls like the PSO league? Are you talking about straight up money like on Full-Flush? Exactly what type are you speaking about, would help to answer the question more appropriately.
Yet as a general understanding of Free-rolls (Not league ones) but just general normal (Cash) Free-rolls, the thing is this, Long hours of play for minute winnings=Tons of craziness in the games.
Now If you wait and wait for AA, and have like a 30bb stack and open rip It, you'll end up getting more than 1 caller in them and than when you bust out you're in shock, and just dazed but the real truth of It Is that players, don't really care about the cash (I mean they wish to win), but can't wait that long thus they think "They can win It In the first hour", yet we all know that's impossible, yet they still try anyways, not to mention, they know another free game Is around the corner
re: Poker & Are freeroll players morons or is their ATC play correct?
Are freeroll players morons or is their ATC play correct?
Good question.
Every play is + ev in freerolls, even the worst.
In the long run you win money even as the greatest donk, because you cannot lose all the time and it costs nothing.
I will often in a free roll call a dubble shove!!!
In the first 10 min with 45 56 67 78 mostly suited. they are play n AKAQ KQ A10 A9 AJ and hopefully no pair u get lucky and you are tripled up plus!!! And on 2 shoves u r gonna get a shared card or the best ak ak vs 67s u r favored then u lock it down if not who cares. If you are playing for 2 or 3hrs and get ko'd then that sux. Play for 10 or 20 min 2 or 3x and 1 of them 3x or 4x up and play poker!! Also very important to know who is playing and who is sitting out. Many times you will be will be playing 3 to 7 handed! Fig out who is tight and start stealing its never to early.
It is not that bad. I go out early a lot, getting sucked out on early because your going to get double or tripled up when your good hands hold., or going for the double/triple up with poorer hands. If you get AA on the first hand, having 2 or even 3 others calling a open shove is is more likely than having everyone fold. So equity in the hand goes down quickly.
The game starts when 270 people join, then either an hour, or 40 minute late reg period. So many people are busting out at the same time others are joining. Usually 150-200 left when the late reg ends.
Surviving that time is the hardest part, even being a nit during that time your going to get hands you just cannot fold. Late people are joining in, pushing and calling with all the junk the people was in the first minute. If one has a huge stack they seem to just keep on rather than slowing down and having a good chance overall. Sometimes if your at the table with many others for a while they have realized and will fold. At first or having new people join your table with a starting stack, good luck. The new person(s) are usually easier to double through, while the ones you have been playing you can use to build or maintain a stack to continue to the next phase.
Once past that part, I usually get to 40-60 people left easily. It is not as bad, however odds are odds, and I get people that will call a 3 bet shove with AJ after playing 100+ hands with them and never me never 3 betting once much less 3 bet shove and nail it to bust or cripple me. I want that call though, they are never ahead with AJ- (at best a tie with AQ, and not often), and at best a flip with TT- usually.
The good news for me, is when I have survived the one or two at that stage, of the 3 I have, I made the FT when it got to less than 40 (pretty sure i have). I won 2 outright, and the other I came in 3rd.
Less spots payed out, the more the spots that do pay get.
have a little patience , the beginning of freeroll
have a little patience , the beginning of freeroll (start / bubble ) depending on the platform it is actually quite complicated but freerolls serve training to face , gifts, trolls, idiots and skilled players
good luck in poker and in life
The shove ATC players are now infiltrating the Cardschat freerolls.
Find this depressing as there was once I high skill level in these games.
The downside for those sort of players, if they have a winning streak, they deposit and end up blowing their bank very quickly.
I don't give much respect to this type of play. I think these players know they are not skilled enough to actually play against other players. I try to remember what a free roll is - a free game that I won't lose money on. If one of these players gets lucky enough to cash, they'll be giving it back soon.
Recently i've been finding that the level of skill depends on what poker site you are playing at. Some poker sites have more skilled players in freerolls, and others have many bad players as well. The variable that is giving me the most trouble right now is the small amount of time we have before the blinds go up.

Wandering AroundMature
We wondered around for a while, mainly staying in on general area of the city. I couldn't understand why, but it felt like we were being watched. It was more than my paranoia when I was a kid. Maybe it was simply this place, though. Lucy seemed uneasy as well, though that could be because of me. Not many people were comfortable around me.
I noticed a familiar street and pointed as we crossed it. "I live t-that way," I told Lucy, trying not to stutter even more than I already had been.
Lucy seemed surprised. Whether from my voice or the statement, I couldn't guess. "I live that way, too," she said in reply.
"R-really? Should we check to see if anyone is there...?"
Lucy looked down for a moment in thought. "I... don't think I want to know if they are there."
I started to ask why, but realized I would not want to confirm my brother's presence either. It was better not to know. If he wasn't there, then I would miss him, and if he was... Well, it was better not to know.
"W... what if we... check someone else's place? We could... find out if they are.. well, you know..."
Lucy looked to be in thought. "Yeah, and I have an idea."
"Run around yelling?" I said instinctively, then realized what I had said. Luckily, Lucy only looked at me like I was an idiot. Stupid mouth.
"I don't think that will help..."
"Yeah, stupid suggestion... Y-your idea?"
Lucy looked around the area, finally locking on one street sign. "I was going to a party when... well, you know. We could head there and check it out. I know where we are."
I nodded. Better there then home, I guessed. We walked for a while longer, not really talking much more, aside from Lucy's occasional directions. I got the sense she was not used to company, like me, but didn't dare ask her. I already probably looked like an idiot.
Well, in any case, all I could do was follow the leader.


text: NEW YORK, January 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, announced that its Actimize Anti-Money Laundering Solutions suite was selected a "Best-in-Class" vendor across three categories in the CEB TowerGroup "2012 Anti-Money Laundering Technology Analysis" research report. NICE Actimize received its rankings based on the analyst firm's five-point rating system for each of the 23 anti-money laundering related attributes identified in its proprietary Anti-Money Laundering Systems anatomy. "Anti-money laundering is the top area of focus for compliance executives, and leading financial institutions are developing an enterprise strategy for AML compliance," explains Andy Schmidt, Research Director, CEB TowerGroup. "Leading banks are pursuing an enterprise approach to AML compliance, in which a single strategy is applied and enforced across all business lines and units. To do this, these banks are investing in scalable and flexible transaction monitoring systems which possess proven capabilities to integrate with a wide variety of source systems." The three categories in which NICE Actimize received a "Best in Class" designation were: Detection Tools, Enterprise Operations and Enterprise Support. Among the attributes for which NICE Actimize received high scores in the Detection Tools category was for its AML typologies, anomaly detection and cross-channel support. In the Enterprise Operations category, NICE Actimize scored highly in false positives mitigation and systems integration. And in the Enterprise Support category, the firm received its "Best-in-Class" designation for its high scores in compliance strategy and product maturity. In its vendor summary of NICE Actimize, the CEB TowerGroup View stated, "The Actimize AML solution received three 'Best-in-Class' ratings in our analysis, the most of any product in this report. Consistently mentioned by competitors as a top rival on major AML technology RFPs, the Actimize solution features one of the most expansive sets of analytics and scenario-based AML management tools on the market today."

Location: Temperate Tree Fruit and Vegetable Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Trade barriers exist on the import of apples and cherries from the Pacific Northwest based on the presumed risk of temperate fruit flies entering and establishing in export market countries. A multi-faceted or systems approach taking into account potential fly distribution, fly detection, and fly identification components are addressed in this project. In this project we plan to evaluate potential fly distributions through modeling, evaluate attractants for flies, evaluate methods to discriminate closely related fly species, and to develop collaborations for modeling risk of infestations in orchards.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Determine critical parameters (i.e. photoperiod, chilling requirement) for diapause induction and completion in apple maggot from Washington State. We will include obligate diapausing, cafultative diapausing, and putative non-diapausing portions of AM populations. Determine critical parameters for growth and development of apple maggot and Western cherry fruit fly under climatic conditions specific for tropical regions.
3. Progress Report:
Apple maggot pupae were collected from field infested fruits and used in experiments to examine the impact of temperature, humidity, and day length on fly emergence. Initial studies on metabolic heat rates and respiration of these pupae using differential scanning calorimetry and carbon dioxide monitoring have begun. The work reported here addresses objectives 1 and 5 of the parent project plan.

It will be an election rich in faces off the television. The title of most glamorous new MP of 2010 will surely go to Labour's Gloria De Piero. She was political editor of GMTV until she surprised colleagues last month by resigning to fight Ashfield, Notts., a safe Labour seat vacated by Geoff Hoon. Tory Esther McVey, also formerly of GMTV, missed becoming MP for Wirral West in 2005 by just 1,097 votes, but is in with a very good chance of success this time. Then there is Esther Rantzen, an authentic household name in her day, running as an independent in Luton South, where the Labour MP, Margaret Moran, was forced out by the expenses scandal. At 69, Rantzen is probably not on the verge of a new career, but it will be fun to see the veteran campaigner back on the stump – with or without vegetables that look like genitalia.
Siblings bid to conquer West Country
There have been brothers, sisters, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, but never in the history of the House of Commons have a brother and sister sat side by side as MPs. The voters of Somerset may be about to rectify that omission.
Opinion polls suggest that Annunziata Rees-Mogg, 31-year-old daughter of the stately journalist William Rees-Mogg, will take Somerset and Frome, on the Dorset/Wiltshire border, and her older brother Jacob, will take North East Somerset. Neither result is a given, because each sibling is up against a well-regarded sitting MP: Labour's Dan Norris in her case, and the Lib Dem David Heath in his. Annunziata is famous for having told David Cameron what he could do with his suggestion that she drop her double-barrelled name. And who could forget Jacob's immortal thoughts on the high proportion of public school and Oxbridge graduates who become Tory candidates – "The Tory party, when it's elected, [is] not going to be able to form a government if it has potted plants as candidates simply to make up quotas."
Jake and Nancy Mogg. What a team!
Thirteenth time may be a shoo-in
Which brings us to Sir Peter Tapsell. Aged 80, he is the last person still active in politics who was around when the Suez Canal was British and French, and Elvis Presley was aspiring to be famous. He was personal assistant to the Prime Minister, Anthony Eden, in 1955. Assuming he is elected in May – which is a near-certainty – it will be the 13th time he has successfully fought a general election, the first being in 1959.
He will then have his moment centre stage as Father of the newly elected House.
Thatcherite lays out his stall to tempt Taunton's famously fickle electorate
Still in Somerset, the Taunton constituency is unique in having turfed out its sitting MP in every election in the past 13 years. The locals returned a Conservative in 1992, a Liberal Democrat in 1997, a Tory in 2001, and a Lib Dem in 2005. The incumbent, Jeremy Browne, now hopes they will settle for a bit of continuity, but he has a very energetic Tory candidate snapping at his heels. Mark Formosa has been living in Taunton effectively as a full- time candidate since 2005, which illustrates how much people some people will sacrifice, even now, for the chance to see the initials MP after their names. If he takes the seat, it will count as Tory gain, but not a personal gain for David Cameron. Mr Formosa does not pretend to be a Cameroonian moderniser. He is a Thatcherite who wants to bring back hanging and would have us out of the EU. An interesting contest.
Bercow will be watching his back in Buckingham
Or will he? John Bercow will certainly want to do another stint as Speaker, but first he has to be re-elected as MP for Buckingham. In normal times, that would be a formality, because no candidate from any of the main parties ever stands against the Speaker, but Bercow is facing a spirited challenge from the former leader of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage. This is Tory country. Farage, whose father was an eminent stockbroker, looks, dresses and sounds much more like a Buckingham Tory than does Bercow, who is son of a minicab driver from Finchley, and whose feisty wife, Sally, is banned from making use of the Speaker's grace and favour house until 6 May because she is a Labour candidate in a local council election. David Cameron has issued a stern warning to Buckingham Tories that on no account are they to aid or abet Farage. Even so, there is sure to be substantial slippage in the Tory vote. And even if Bercow survives that, there is still the distant threat of a Conservative coup to try to get rid of him, because old colleagues on the Tory benches see him as a sell out.
However, Bercow will be protected by the fact that the Prime Minister – be he Cameron or Brown – will not want the distraction of a challenge to the Speaker, and hundreds of newly elected MPs will not know what the fuss is about.
Furniture factor adds up to victory for Conservatives
In old country houses, the most reliable way of finding out what was happening above the stairs was to ask the servants. So here is a tip about the likely outcome of the general election which will cheer David Cameron.
Staff at the House of Commons have to order furniture as an election approaches, for the offices of newly elected MPs. That requires them to estimate how many new MPs to expect.
This year, they have weighed the evidence and settled for a figure of 270. That is startlingly high. Even allowing that there will be several dozen new MPs who have inherited safe seats where the party holding the seat has stayed the same, it still implies that, regardless of what the polls say, the people who work in the Commons are anticipating the sort of electoral landslide that will give David Cameron an outright majority.
For comparison, the number of new MPs arriving in 1997, after the election that swept Tony Blair to power, was just under 250.
How to be heard beyond the grave
We have heard some argument about whether you should be allowed to vote if you are in prison, but what about being allowed to vote after you're dead? Believe it or not, you are able quite legally to cast a posthumous vote if you die between now and 6 May. The way to do it is to cast a postal vote. As long it arrives on time, it is valid – even if you are dead and gone.

Epistle to Seneca the Younger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cujus etiam ad Paulum apostolum leguntur epistolae)
The Epistle to Seneca the Younger is a collection of correspondence claiming to be from Paul the Apostle to Seneca the Younger. There are 8 epistles from Seneca, and 6 replies from Paul.[1] Jerome mentioned them in his De Viris Illustribus (chap. 12).[2] However, they are widely held to be forged, as J. B. Lightfoot noted:
- "The poverty of thought and style, the errors in chronology and history, and the whole conception of the relative positions of the Stoic philosopher and the Christian Apostle, betray clearly the hand of a forger."[3]
Philip Schaff in his history said: "They are very poor in thought and style, full of errors of chronology and history, and undoubtedly a forgery."[4] Again, Lightfoot said:
- "This correspondence was probably forged in the fourth century, either to recommend Seneca to Christian readers or to recommend Christianity to students of Seneca."
- "As they are now universally allowed to be spurious, it will be unnecessary to state at length the grounds of their condemnation. It is sufficient to say that the letters are inane and unworthy throughout; that the style of either correspondent is unlike his genuine writings; that the relations between the two, as there represented, are highly improbable; and lastly, that the chronological notices (which however are absent in some important MSS) are wrong in almost every instance. Thus, independently of the unbroken silence of three centuries and a half about this correspondence, internal evidence alone is sufficient to condemn them hopelessly."[5]

UPDATE 2-Scotiabank profit lifted by ING Direct, but lower than expected
* Second-quarter adj profit C$1.24 versus est C$1.26
* Net income rises 9.6 pct
* ING Direct takeover boosts domestic banking unit
* Shares off 0.8 pct, only major Canada bank down Tuesday (Adds financial details, analyst comments, stock price)
By Cameron French
TORONTO, May 28 (Reuters) - Bank of Nova Scotia said on Tuesday that quarterly profit rose 9.6 percent due largely to an acquisition, but missed estimates due to weaker commodities-related revenue and higher loan-loss provisions.
At mid-morning, the bank's shares were down 0.8 percent at C$59.11 in Toronto, making it the weakest performer among Canada's six biggest lenders, which were otherwise higher.
The result, the third earnings report from a Canadian bank this quarter, was padded by last year's C$3.1 billion ($2.98 billion) acquisition of the Canadian online lender ING Direct.
That deal contributed to a 19 percent jump in profit at Scotiabank's Canadian banking unit, which earned C$547 million. Continued...

STUDY DESIGN: We conducted an interventional follow-up study in which 18 patients with bacterial vaginosis were treated with oral metronidazole during 1 week and subsequently had a single random follow-up assessment at 1-week intervals, up to 5 weeks, with 3 patients representing each point in time. Follow-up assessment included conventional scoring of the vaginal microflora and determination of bacterial biofilm characteristics on a vaginal biopsy through bacterial 16/23S recombinant DNA-based fluorescence in-situ hybridization.
RESULTS: Although all patients recovered, we consistently observed the resurgence with treatment cessation of a dense and active bacterial biofilm on the vaginal mucosa, primarily consisting of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae.
CONCLUSION: A large reservoir of the core bacteria to bacterial vaginosis persists as a biofilm after metronidazole treatment.

Despite the worldwide prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (BV), its etiology is still unknown. Although BV has been associated with the presence of biofilm, the ability of BV-associated bacteria to form biofilms is still largely unknown. Here, we isolated 30 BV-associated species and characterized their virulence, using an in vitro biofilm formation model. Our data suggests that Gardnerella vaginalis had the highest virulence potential, as defined by higher initial adhesion and cytotoxicity of epithelial cells, as well as the greater propensity to form a biofilm. Interestingly, we also demonstrated that most of the BV-associated bacteria had a tendency to grow as biofilms.

Differences in vaginal microbiome in African American women versus women of European ancestry.
Fettweis JM, Brooks JP, Serrano MG, Sheth NU, Girerd PH, Edwards DJ, Strauss JF 3rd, Vaginal Microbiome Consortium, Jefferson KK, Buck GA
Microbiology. 2014 Oct;160(Pt 10):2272-82. Epub 2014 Jul 29.
Women of European ancestry are more likely to harbour a Lactobacillus-dominated microbiome, whereas African American women are more likely to exhibit a diverse microbial profile. African American women are also twice as likely to be diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and are twice as likely to experience preterm birth. The objective of this study was to further characterize and contrast the vaginal microbial profiles in African American versus European ancestry women. Through the Vaginal Human Microbiome Project at Virginia Commonwealth University, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was used to compare the microbiomes of vaginal samples from 1268 African American women and 416 women of European ancestry. The results confirmed significant differences in the vaginal microbiomes of the two groups and identified several taxa relevant to these differences. Major community types were dominated by Gardnerella vaginalis and the uncultivated bacterial vaginosis-associated bacterium-1 (BVAB1) that were common among African Americans. Moreover, the prevalence of multiple bacterial taxa that are associated with microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity and preterm birth, including Mycoplasma, Gardnerella, Prevotella and Sneathia, differed between the two ethnic groups. We investigated the contributions of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including pregnancy, body mass index, diet, smoking and alcohol use, number of sexual partners, and household income, to vaginal community composition. Ethnicity, pregnancy and alcohol use correlated significantly with the relative abundance of bacterial vaginosis-associated species. Trends between microbial profiles and smoking and number of sexual partners were observed; however, these associations were not statistically significant. These results support and extend previous findings that there are significant differences in the vaginal microbiome related to ethnicity and demonstrate that these differences are pronounced even in healthy women.

Ripoff Report
Chris Hixon or Advanced Recruiting14838 Covington Ave Rosemount, Minnesota USA
Chris Hixon or Advanced Recruiting He reached out to us numerous times telling us he had some great ways to bring some great people into our company. He told us that he would have ten solid people on the ground and running within 30 days. He told us he needed 5k up front. We had another company say that he had done a decent job for them back in the day and we created a contract and took him on. He missed the first meeting with us that next monday morning. I called and he told me he doesn't work well with structure and to not worry. A week later he posted his first job offering. After that he again disappeared. He got back to me a few weeks after that told me he was going through some personal issues. He asked me for another check. Mind you he had brought one person into the office or interview any of them. I write this as I fear he will do this to even more business owners. Google his name and you will find interesting things about him. Rosemount Minnesota
Does your business have a bad reputation?

Chris Hixon owner of Advanced Recruiting got us. I wish I would have done mroe research on him. He was to come in and bring and train ten people for our business. He didn't do a thing for almost a week. He finally put up one ad and than disappeared again. He told me a week later he was really going to get after it. Around two weeks after that he told me that he had a personal emergency and needed more money from us. We paid him 5k and got nothing but lip service.
I write this in hopes that if you decide to do business with him you see this and get a more concrete contract with him or do more research on him. Good luck

Teacher schools the field in Ice Age Trail 50
More than 400 runners assembled on a dreary Saturday morning, each with his own motivation, agenda or dream.
Maybe competing in the 29th Annual Ice Age Trail 50 was about winning a grueling race through the hills of the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest.
Or about renewing an old rivalry. Or challenging one's body and sprit. Or simply surviving.
Todd Braje had the Ice Age on his list as a classic ultramarathon, one he always wanted to tackle. Both he and the race delivered Saturday.
A professor of anthropology at Humboldt State University and the USA Track & Field 50-mile run champion from Arcata, Calif., Braje stayed out front all day, running smoothly over the relentless hills.
"The constant up and down really gets to you," Braje, 33, said after winning with a time of 6 hours, 20 minutes and 38 seconds. "I tend to like a flat, fast course, where you can get in the groove. This was a challenge for me."
Braje maintained a 7:37-per-mile pace that kept him out front of Phil Kochik, from Seattle, Wash. Kochik hit the line 5 minutes after Braje and 8 minutes up on Mark Lundblad, who took third. Lundblad, 41, of Swannanoa, N.C., won the Ice Age 50 in 2007.
Among the elite women's participants, Meghan Arbogast, 49, of Corvallis, Ore., made it two for Wisconsin. A month after her first-place finish in the Mad City 100K road race around Lake Wingra, Arbogast finished the Ice Age in 7:17:07 and was seventh overall.
Annette Bednosky, 43, of Jefferson, N.C., also held form, finishing second to Arbogast as she did in Madison. Bednosky's 7:27:08 put her 14 minutes ahead of home-town runner Christine Crawford, whose string of three consecutive wins came to an end.
In the 50-kilometer race, Chris Rubesch, 24, of Duluth, Minn., outpaced Patrik Berger, of Schiller Park, Ill., to win in 3:51:32.
Ann Heaslett, the nationally ranked ultra runner from Madison, eased her way back from a hamstring injury to win the women's 50K over Meg Rubesch, of Duluth. Heaslett finished in 4:39:24.
Light mist at the 6 a.m. start of the 50-mile race turned into occasional bursts of rain, then hail, which gave way to stretches of sunshine.
Runners pushing the 12-hour time limit went through spring, summer, fall and winter over the course of the day.
"I didn't think I was going to make it," said Gabriela Perez, 33, from Chicago, who burst into tears at the finish line. "I was hysterical. I was screaming and wailing after 45 miles. I just had to finish it officially."
Perez had failed to meet the 12-hour cut-off time in two previous attempts at taming the difficult course, and had just five minutes to spare when she finished alongside Tim Gordon, of DeWitt, Mich.
Gordon heard Perez shrieking and wailing over the final miles, but the 59-year-old had his own special issues.
After successive bouts of prostate and bladder cancer, the retired aircraft inspector is "missing a few organs," making his three stops over 50 miles a little more involved than others'.
"A lot of people were asking me what those sticks were in my backpack," he said. "When I tell them they're catheters, they stop asking questions."
A couple hours earlier, the top two male and female finishers earned entry in the Western States Endurance Race, an annual 100-mile ultra in June that covers a mountainous course in California's Seirra Nevadas
That was a goal of Kochik, who had finished fifth in the Western 100 in 2007 but since then has been prevented by injuries from "having a good race in a long time."
Bednosky also raced the Ice Age partly for an entry in Western States, a race she won in 2005.
"This was a classic one," she said. "It was on the life list."
She and Arbogast both finished Saturday just after the first cloudburst of the day.
Among local competitors, Steve Vesbach, of Mukwonago, finished fifth in the 50-mile race, breaking 7 hours with 8 seconds to spare. Vesbach looked weary at times on the course, while his father's pride seemed brighter than the sun.
Kevin Grabowski, also from Mukwonago, represented the Lapham Peak Trail Runners with a 10th place finish, looking solid all day en route to a 7:23:51.
Andy Arena beat the cut-off time to match Bob Telfer's mark for most Ice Age 50s completed with his 25th. Arena, 59, of Brookfield, said he had a mediocre 37 miles and a good 13 to finish in 11:01:38.
"Aside from the sleet and stuff," he said, "it was a pretty good day for running."

Welcome to the Australian Internships Newsletter, where each month we will update you on the latest industry trends, provide tips for hosting interns and keep you up-to-date with Australian Internships news!
Communicate clearly
Your intern will most likely be speaking English as a second language, or speak a different dialect of English, so keep in mind that misunderstandings can occur. To get the best out of your intern you need to communicate clearly, and to be understanding if you are asked to repeat the instruction again. Also, providing good communication sets an example for the intern to learn about communicating back to you!
Be approachable
It may be the first time your intern has been in a working environment, and they will encounter unfamiliar situations. Ensure there is trust and openness between you and your intern so that they feel comfortable approaching you with questions, as it will likely save you time later.
Constructive criticism
Interns are expected to make mistakes, especially at the start of the internship, however how a mistake is addressed (especially a big one) can affect an interns' confidence and ability to move forward in their training. A great method for criticising their mistakes constructively is called the "Sandwich Method":
- First, focus on the strengths — what you like about the item in question
- Then, you provide the criticism — things you didn't like; the areas of improvement
- Lastly, you round off the feedback with:
(a) A reminder of the positive comments you gave first and
(b) The positive results that can be expected if the criticism is acted upon.
Hotel Jen is in Brisbane, and has hosted 6 of our interns to date in various departments.
What is the best thing about having international interns at your organisation?
There are so many benefits about having international interns at Hotel Jen. For many of our interns, this internship is their first taste of hospitality and hotels and for some, it is their first experience within a work environment. Our interns are able to grow their knowledge of the workplace, their communication skills and their confidence. For our team members, it is certainly a rewarding experience to oversee the growth of our interns whilst developing as better leaders through supervision, delegation and mentorship. It also helps us greatly to appreciate cultural diversity at the hotel and broaden our perspectives in business and personally, as a result.so many interesting stories to share!
Do you have any funny stories about an intern you've hosted, or an exceptional intern that you'd like to tell us about?
When we got the call that Keshav (Our I.T Intern) had arrived for his interview, we were notified that "Eh-shav" had arrived. I mentioned this to Bilal (Our I.T Guru) who looked flabbergasted and suggested that the 'K' may have been silent like it is in 'Knife'. To avoid any awkward situations, we rehearsed his name on the way to our interview with him, when we arrived, Bilal cut to the chase and asked how to pronounce his name to which we all enthusiastically participated in pronouncing his name. He let us know that we had pronounced it perfectly. Turns out the 'K' wasn't silent after all!
What do you like about having Australian Internships providing and supporting your interns?
Our collaboration with Australian Internships has been fantastic! Not only has the assistance of our interns aided the efficiency of our team members. Our team members have also been able to commence and complete numerous projects that require involvement from our interns. Australian Internships offers a variety of interns who are looking to gain exposure in their chosen field. They take any worry about the responsibility of meeting the terms of the hosting arrangement by quickly and efficiently dealing with any queries from us as the host, or from the interns directly. In short, we have found the process to be very well administered and supported by Australian Internships.

There has been a major surge in the construction industry across the country with employers desperate for staff amid growing volumes of work. According to Hays Recruitment "This has created a major challenge for construction contractors that have won projects but are now struggling to find the right people to help them do the work."
"In response, companies are now considering measures they would not have previously. These include considering candidates with no local experience, sponsoring candidates from overseas and even occasionally offering a sign on bonus."
Fast facts: Chinese visitor spend (Excerpt from Tourism Australia)
- China is Australia's most valuable market, with Chinese visitors spending more than $7.7 billion annually. Spend has increased by more than 400 per cent in the past 10 years, from $1.5 billion in 2005 to $7.7 billion in 2015.
- Year-on-year spending grew 43 per cent in 2015 – double the previous 12 month's growth rate.
- Under Australia's long-term tourism strategy, the value of the China market was originally estimated to be between $7.4 billion and $9 billion a year by 2020. Annual spending has already exceeded the lower end of that original range, and more recent forecasts indicate the market could be worth up to $13 billion.
With major companies across Australia currently looking to other countries for trade exploration, development and investment, having an international intern is a great opportunity to develop networking relationship opportunities in those countries and is certainly viewed favourably by those Governments and Industry networks for future negotiations. Australian Internships have many qualified students coming through our program in various disciplines and from many countries. These university students are often hand picked as the next generation of the Industry leaders in their fields. Whether your target market has evolved from mining opportunities in Brazil or from the influx of Chinese visitors, having qualified staff that understand the culture on a fundamental level and who speak the language and the various dialects provides you with an undeniable competitive edge.
Companies who have no current ties with other nations will also greatly benefit from the program as the interns' contribution is significant and they undoubtedly add great value to industry!!
From the Sydney Morning Herald JANUARY 28:
Motorists on Australia's east coast are enjoying the cheapest fuel in almost a year and have been urged to fill up their tanks today, before prices spring back up again.
The average price of unleaded petrol was 102.9¢ a litre in Melbourne on Wednesday morning - the lowest since February 2015, according to the RACV - and was as low as 99.9¢ at some bowsers.
Sydney's average price was 101.2¢ a litre, with some service stations pumping at 96.9¢, which was also the lowest price since February, according to the NRMA.
"We've hit the lowest in 12 months and if it went any lower it'd be the lowest in seven years," NRMA spokesman Peter Khoury said.
Mr Khoury said despite the Australian dollar falling against the greenback, falling global oil prices were finally being passed on at the bowser.

The independent feature film "Superior" is returning to Wealthy Theatre and playing on the big screen in Grand Rapids for one night only before being released to VOD on Friday, September 2nd.
Writer/Director/Producer Edd Benda will be in attendance to present the film and host a Q&A following the screening.
During the height of the Vietnam War in 1969, Charlie is on his way to Michigan Tech University, and Derek is counting the days to his inevitable military draft eligibility. Before their futures take hold, the lifelong best friends embark on one final adventure: a 1300 mile bike ride along the shores of the gargantuan Lake Superior. With two-speed Schwinn bicycles and limited preparation, Charlie and Derek pedal through the massive northern backwoods of Michigan, Minnesota, and Canada. Along the way they face hunger, exhaustion, and the kind of people in the world who never wanted to be found.
Edd Benda Bio
The Birmingham, Michigan native Edd Benda has spent time living in Germany, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado, and most recently California. Edd attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts where he focused on directing under instruction from notable directors Barnet Kellman, Peter Sollett, and Jennifer Warren among many others before graduating in 2013. Edd comes from a massive midwestern family, and he found his calling as a filmmaker around the family dining room table where storytelling reigned supreme. Edd recently wrote, directed, and produced the acclaimed feature film Superior. When not writing or filming, Edd can most likely be found at the nearest ice rink fighting for space at the top of the crease while trying not to get any more teeth knocked out.
