Q: I've noticed in iTunes 7.0 that the "Explicit" label for songs I've purchased from the iTunes store now transfers into my library. Is there any way to remove this label? I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I don't need it for parental controls, and I almost find it offensive to constantly look at in my own library.
- Sarah
A: As a matter of fact, there is. In iTunes 7, Apple allows users to choose whether or not they'd like to display these "Explicit" tags, as well as other content ratings, such as those for TV shows and movies. To access this feature, simply open iTunes' Preferences window, accessible through the Edit menu. Then, uncheck the "Show content ratings in library" option, and click "Ok."
With this option deselected, the "Explicit" indicators will cease to display next to song titles in your library and playlists.

This Ordinance makes St. Louis City's minimum wage higher than the rest of Missouri's, set at $7.70 an hour, and Illinois', at $8.25 an hour.
The Ordinance, also known as Board Bill No. 83, was argued in the Ways and Means committee in the summer of 2015.
Increased income inequality, high poverty rate in St. Louis, and the inability of many St. Louis City workers to participate in the region's opportunities because of their income were among the many reasons the sponsors of the Ordinance believed the minimum wage should be increased.
Transgender Student Rights
Camille Respess | May 28, 2016
The inequalities members of the LGBTQ+ community face are immense. Correcting these problems is complex in our country, and has become even more so in our nation's schools: both public and private.
In recent months, the rights of transgender individuals has been put at the forefront of national attention — especially involving which bathrooms these individuals are permitted to enter: the one that matches their biological sex or the sex in which they identify with. This question was posed to the North Carolina government — and they answered.
Placing a focus on our Mental Health
Camille Respess | January 15, 2016
Our mental health is something that is crucial to our wellbeing, but it is often overlooked and not discussed in our society. For students in elementary, middle, and especially high school, learning about and discussing mental health in a safe, comfortable environment can be essential to lessening the stigma surrounding mental health. According to the data gathered by student journalists at Clayton High School, mental health may not be getting the attention it needs. Read more
Putting a Price on Emotional Distress
For most of us, our job is not just a way of earning a living. It also plays an important role in defining our identity. Often, the success that we achieve in our career is directly tied to our sense of dignity and self-worth.

Planning A Camping Trip? This Article Can Help!
If you are getting tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, camping can be a truly fun and unique experience. However, it is important to keep in mind, that there is a certain amount of danger involved and the need for acclimatization for the outdoors. This article will arm you with the advice you need for a great camping trip!
Be certain that your tent has enough space for both yourself and whoever else comes with you. This makes it possible for everyone to sleep comfortably, and it also allows for room to move about and exit the tent if nature calls. If you can afford a trailer, caravans offers great deals and various sizes for best camping trips.
A great item to put in your camping backpack when going in the back country is a Ziploc bag filled with dryer lint. There is no better fire starting material than dryer lint. It will hold a spark and get your fire going quickly and efficiently. Dryer lint takes up almost no space in your pack and is very light weight.
Always take more water than you think you will use when you go on a camping trip. Many times, people forget how much water is needed. It is used for drinking, washing dishes and hands, cooking and even brushing your teeth. Water is not something you want to be without.
If you have little ones camping with you, pack a few art supplies. When you get to your site, show them how to do leaf rubbings. There are always a variety of leaves in all shapes and sizes, so trying them all out will take a while. The kids will be happy and you will have some peace and quiet while you relax and watch them.
If you have a toddler, pack a blanket. You can lay it out on the ground and use it as a makeshift play area. Bring cars, dolls, or whatever items your child is into. They can play without getting too dirty and you can instruct them that they need to keep their toys on the blanket for safekeeping. This will help to keep things from getting too spread out.
If you are using a tent for camping, put a great deal of thought into buying your tent. Consider the climate. Consider your price range. How often will you be using this tent? You don't want to buy a tent that won't be able to stand up to the elements. At the same time, you don't need to pay a fortune for a tent you plan to only use once.
When you go camping, be sure to wear closed-toe shoes. Walking in wooded areas, you can come across almost anything; not to mention things can fall on your feet. You may also want to take a hike. So the next time you go out camping, make sure to wear shoes that can go everywhere you want to go.
As you can see, there are many things involved in making a camping trip a successful experience. Even if you are a seasoned camper, you can still use some bits of advice to enhance your outdoor fun. Use what you have learned today, and you are sure to have a better camping trip tomorrow!

In a tight, non-politically driven race, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (5.01-million) has now overtaken the White House (4.99-million) in Twitter followers, to become the fifth-most followed politician in the world. Unlike the White House tweets, Modi sidelines quotes and instead concentrates on enacting positive change through his 140-word imposed limit.

'Catching Fire' Director Contenders: Grade A Choices (But Still No Women)
With director Gary Ross officially off of the Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, the hunt for a new director is heating up (pun absolutely intended). Lionsgate, the studio behind the young adult franchise, thought they had their visionary writer/director all locked down for the series, boldly locking in a release date of November 22, 2013, way back in August of last year. Now they're kicking it into high gear to find a replacement that can deliver the goods on Catching Fire, while maintaining the high quality established by Ross (and approved by author Suzanne Collins).
Who have they found? Three names are on Lionsgate's shortlist (which is a fancier, industry version of "wish list") and they're unexpectedly high profile. The producers of the Hunger Games aren't ready to phone their sequel in — much like the Harry Potter franchise, which saw family-friendly director Chris Columbus step down after two installments, making way for Alfonso Cuaron's more mature take on the material, the directors sought for Catching Fire are top quality. The trio of gentlemen currently being eyed up may be wishful thinking, but the good news is Lionsgate is dreaming big. Here are the current contenders:
David Cronenberg
Once a master of horror with pinnacle genre entries like The Fly, The Brood and Videodrome, the David Cronenberg of late has stuck to intense, adult-themed dramas. Last year's A Dangerous Method, a powerful, restrained piece of filmmaking, came and went, but if early glimpses of his 2012 collaboration with Robert Pattinson, Cosmopolis, are to be believed, he's ready to blow the socks off of Twihards, opponents of the RPatz and everyone in-between.
Why He Should Direct Catching Fire: While his recent films may not scream "blockbuster entertainment," his background in horror gives him cred for establishing unique worlds and scenarios. He's great with actors, and he has a trio of young actors who he can push harder than Ross ever could.
Why He Shouldn't Direct Catching Fire: What Cronenberg doesn't have is the action background. He's never tackled a blockbuster (although Top Gun, RoboCop and Return of the Jedi all crossed his plate at some point) and while he has an expert eye, big battle scenes may not be a natural fit for his intimate sensibilities. Cronenberg is also 69 years old — unless he thinks he needs to tackle Catching Fire to bring in studio dollars for his next slew of indies, why would he want to do it? The man doesn't need this movie or a franchise.
Alfonso Cuaron
If he could step into Potter, why not Hunger Games? Alfonso Cuaron had a string of solid movies (A Little Princess, Great Expectations, Y Tu Mamá También) before tackling Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and proving he could deliver a franchise film that was both thrilling and thoughtful. He took that clout and ran with it: his 2006 film Children of Men is one of the best films of the last decade and his next, 2012's sci-fi drama Gravity, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, is already being touted as an Oscar-contender.
Why He Should Direct Catching Fire: The biggest problem with Hunger Games was the directing. Ross relied heavily on "shaky cam" to evoke a naturalistic feel. It didn't quite work. Cuaron is the polar opposite — he's all about long, elegant takes (Children of Men features a 10 minute take, while the opening shot of Gravity will reportedly clock in at 17 minutes). We know Cuaron can knock a young adult fiction adaptation out of the park and with bigger set pieces and escalating drama, Catching Fire needs a director who can manage it all.
Why He Shouldn't Direct Catching Fire: Cuaron is a been-there-done-that choice. This isn't to say that Azkaban is anything less than dazzling or that Cuaron wouldn't craft an entirely new film with Catching Fire, but with The Hunger Games franchise being such a sure thing at the box office, Lionsgate would be better off finding a director who can make their franchise distinct. With Cuaron, memories of Potter are instantly conjured. Fresh blood is important.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is no stranger to epic filmmaking, but his films find their grand ideas and action through performance, not scope. His resume includes Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel, all films known for their interlocking story lines, plethora of characters and examination of gut-wrenching, emotional scenarios. His streamlined narrative Biutiful earned Javier Bardem a second Oscar nomination. Catching Fire would be a wild departure, Inarritu's first outing in Hollywood, but Lionsgate has obviously been convinced by his filmmaking skills.
Why He Should Direct Catching Fire: He may be untested in blockbuster filmmaking, but his past work shows off an ability to juggle a handful of heady concepts while keeping everything grounded. Pair him with a special effects guru and the result could be breathtaking.
Why He Shouldn't Direct Catching Fire: Critically, Babel made people wonder if Inarritu was stuck in a multiple story line rut. Biutiful didn't earn him any raves either (perhaps, overshadowed by Bardem's work). If Inarritu is seriously considering Catching Fire, it may be out of desperation for a hit, a way to cut his teeth with Hollywood filmmaking who will keep him in the game. His early critical hits weren't flukes, but Inarritu may have run out of steam.
Cronenberg, Cuaron or Inarritu would be big, artsy gets for Catching Fire, and the end product would be radically different depending on who Lionsgate can reel in. For now, we play the waiting game. Who would you want to see take the reigns on Catching Fire? Is it a little weird that there isn't a single woman on this list?

'The Great Gatsby' to Open Cannes Festival With Opulence and Gimlets Galore
The roaring '20s are coming to Cannes Film Festival, which in my imagination means everyone attending the yearly Hollywood gathering will be draped in gorgeous beaded gowns, impeccable short tuxedos and double-breasted vests, and hands that never go without a mint julep or a gin gimlet to swirl around with panache. The Great Gatsby has been named the opening film of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, which runs May 15-26.
RELATED: Steven Spielberg is the 2013 Cannes President: Will He Pick a Spielbergian Winner?
An adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's beloved 1925 text, the Baz Luhrmann film stars Leonardo Dicaprio as the enigmatic Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan as the beguiling object of his affection, Daisy. The film also stars Tobey Maguire and Isla Fisher and features a hyped score from rapper/producer (and guy who generally needs no introduction because he basically rules the world with Queen Beyonce at his side) Jay-Z.
"It is a great honor for all those who have worked on The Great Gatsby to open the Cannes Film Festival," says Luhrmann in a statement in Cannes' official announcement. "We are thrilled to return to a country, place and festival that has always been so close to our hearts, not only because my first film Strictly Ballroom was screened there 21 years ago, but also because F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote some of the most poignant and beautiful passages of his extraordinary novel just a short distance away at a villa outside Saint-Raphaël."
RELATED: Jay-Z To Score 'The Great Gatsby'
The film will be screened in 3D and will be released to worldwide audiences that same day, May 15. Get all jazzed up (Get it? Because it's the jazz age? Maybe I've had one too many juleps…) and watch the latest trailer for visually stunning film.

In May 1988, when I found myself representing Britain in the world poker championships in Las Vegas, I had no idea that I would wind up turning pro and writing a book about it - or that the book would change lives, not all for the better.
For a decade I had been travelling to the World Series of poker as a smalltime player, watching enviously from the rails as the big boys stumped up an entry fee of $10,000 - way beyond my means - to do battle over four days and nights for the title of world champion.
That year saw the introduction of "satellites" or heats, in which 10 aspirants put up $1,000 each and played until one of them had won the lot, thus entering the $10,000 tournament for a mere thou. Jet-lagged, well-wined and bored witless in a low-stakes side-game, I was finally trying to persuade myself to go upstairs and pass out when the tannoy announced one empty seat in the last satellite. No one was more surprised than I when I put up my hand - and a grand - to grab it.
Well, I'd just won that much at blackjack, and figured I might as well find a more interesting way to lose it. The following few hours passed in a blur, which later had to be reconstructed by tracking down the other players. Suffice it to say: Reader, I won.
And so it came to pass that the next day I found myself sitting down amid some 200 starters, including such titans of the game as Amarillo "Slim" Preston and Johnny "The Man" Moss, with a shot at the $1m first prize. To say I was "representing Britain" is only slightly stretching the truth, as I was the sole Brit to make the final that year. These days, since poker has taken off here, even earning its own late-night TV slot, whole planeloads make the pilgrimage to Vegas each summer.
Back then, on my own heady debut, I achieved my first target by surviving into the second day, but all too soon ran into a fatal flush. Ninetieth in the world didn't sound that great until someone pointed out that it was then a higher ranking than any UK tennis player - as I proceeded to boast all year. And, of course, I could call myself the British No 1.
Back home, I embarked on a book tour for my biography of Laurence Olivier, the kind of ego trip I should normally have enjoyed, but found myself restless and grumpy. All I wanted to do was play poker. It was my American wife - the "Moll" of the resulting book - who had the idea. Why not turn pro, with the aim of building a bankroll for next year's world championship, and write a chronicle of my adventures?
What a woman. Like golf or tennis, poker has a tournament circuit, on which I proceeded to spend the happiest year of my life. From the European championships in Malta, to the Moroccan Open, to an illegal tournament in Lousiana where we were run out of town, I had found a way of earning a living that was easier - and far more fun - than writing. At the end of it all, after deducting five-star expenses, I had made a profit of $12,300 - not to be sniffed at, but not enough to live on. Back to the word processor.
In the process, I had learnt a lot about myself, which has since served me well at the green-baize of life. Evidently I had infected others, too, as I began to meet people who had read the book and given up their own jobs to turn poker pro, some more successfully than others. The thought that my book could alter people's lives, perhaps ruin them, was not one I had anticipated, nor one I live with comfortably to this day.
But Big Deal is my own favourite of my books, by far the most personal, and certainly the only one to enjoy four reissues. When people come up to me now and say "I've read your book", I no longer need to ask which one. I just pray it hasn't landed them on Skid Row.
· Anthony Holden's book Big Deal, is published by Abacus at £8.99.

Am I still in time? I always get confused what with being on the other side of the planet...
Bearing in mind that I am an inveterate finder and lover of closed fandoms, quite often long after they have closed and the shiny newness has gone.
1. First Love
First real fandom was Blakes 7... and it was all about the Blake/Avon love, it was :)
2. Current Obsession
I'm not sure about obsession, but my most recent fandom - and the one I haven't yet managed to read everything I want for - is Merlin.
3. Biggest Fandom
Umm. The two first Stargate series would probably win this one... so here's SG1 - Daniel, because we share books and history :)
4. Tiny Fandoms
Arthur of the Britains, as different from Merlin's Arthur as you can get... 70s-style ancient Britons. The blonde - Kai - was sooo one of my first fannish crushes :)
5. True Love
But, but... they're all true loves! Oh well, if I had to choose just one fannish character to love, I'd dither for a lifetime, but I do think it might be Magnificent 7's Ezra...

last night we discussed the chapter about being taken, or chosen. and we had some great conversation about just how radical it really is to believe that God has chosen each one of us from before our birth (psalm 139); chosen to create us and sustain us and journey with us and love us. but the great challenge with this is remembering who we are as God's beloved children in the midst of a world full of voices that are telling us otherwise. we are told we are consumers, or we are our job, or we are no good, or we are too (something). we are just smothered in lies about who we are and it is so difficult to hear God's voice in the midst of all of that saying, "you are my beloved child. i choose you."
and my main reflection on that today, quite simply, is that i want the church to be about that work. i wish the church was better at being a hearing aid for folks. that when they are at church or at a potluck dinner or working at the food pantry or raking leaves or praying over our community, or doing anything the church does, i wish the church would be a stronger voice telling people that they are beloved children of God. no matter what the world says. no matter what your parents said. no matter what your spouse said. no matter what you think the mirror says. no matter what you've done. while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (romans 5). we need to help other people see how much God loves them, but we can't do that until we we learn to claim our identity as adored children of God first.
that's just my thought for today.
grace and peace,
a collection of words about God and life and art and baseball and football and hope and my family and my ministry and music and the immense joy in each moment of all of it. it's a record of being human. welcome.

final shot
Retief Goosen
A spate of injuries have seen the South African slip down the world rankings. From being firmly ensconced inside the top 10 to now lying outside the top 50 the Goose is in need of a comeback. He's confident it is coming soon Spring in his step: Goosen, who turned 43 in February, believes he still has what it takes to win another major
alive! I putted nicely in the Africa Open and the Joburg Open so hopefully I'll keep that going.
With over US$27 million in career earnings, two US Open titles and 44 professional wins, Retief Goosen has guaranteed his place as one of the greats of the game. The problem is that he's not quite done yet. At 43 years old, there's still life in 'the Goose' and, having recovered from a string of injuries, he is hoping to regain the form that kept him in the top 10 of the World Ranking for over 250 weeks. The early 40s, it seems, are an odd time in a golfer's career – it's not quite the twilight years, but you can certainly start to see the shadows lengthening and, as much as you're hoping for a few more big wins, you can't help but ponder the fairways and the riches of the senior tour.

Retief, how's the state of your game at the moment? Much better thanks. Anything else? (Laughs) My game is slowly on its way back. My health is a lot better and I've been working hard on my back over the past three months. If you have a healthy back and can practise regularly, you can start playing better and I've not been able to do that since April last year. But I've worked hard with [physio] Cornel Driessen and I must say that since the SA Open my game has really started to come back. And the belly putter seems to suit you – it's working well? Yeah, the putter worked really well last year, but only because I missed a lot of greens! I mean I topped the putting stats purely because I've been chipping and putting well after missing too many greens. I'm lucky my short game has kept me 86
HK Golfer・APR 2012
You're getting yourself into contention without quite closing it out. Is it a just a matter of needing to get over the line? Yes, it's a question of trusting yourself again when you haven't been in contention for a while and you hit a bad shot at the wrong time. In the Africa Open I had a chance to win but I just didn't hit my irons well enough in the final round to put myself into a position to make enough putts. Then in the Joburg Open I didn't feel too well over the weekend [Goosen suffered from a stomach bug] and lost momentum. Going back to your injuries, it seems like it's been a couple of years now that you've had some sort of ailment, from leg to toes to eyes and back. Are you fully patched up now and ready to go? I think so, yes. I'm trying to behave and not be too wild [laughs], not too many extreme sports! Although, I wasn't even in the water when I hurt myself on the boat – I pulled the trailer over my toe. So yes, the last few years have felt like one injury after another, which is disappointing, but really since the South African Open last year I feel like I'm in one piece and that I can start playing again. Is the confidence back as well? I need to work on the confidence a little bit more now, trust my swing a bit more. But when you haven't practised much it isn't easy. CONTINUED ON PAGE 84 HKGOLFER.COM
There are a few players that jump up and down on the course as well as off the course. I'm one of those who don't jump up and down on the course but probably do off the course – and maybe that's why I'm full of injuries! CONTINUED FROM PAGE 86
Global golfer: The South African counts St Andrews (top) and Augusta as his two favourite courses in the world; Goosen had a red-hot putter to thank at Shinnecock Hills in 2004 (opposite) when he held off Phil Mickelson to claim his second US Open in brilliant fashion 84
HK Golfer・APR 2012
As we sit here, you're really chatty and personable, yet on course there's a 'game face' and you don't show much emotion. Does it bother you that people assume that the oncourse Retief Goosen is the real you? Well, that's going to be the case with almost any pro. There are a few players that jump up and down on the course as well as off the course. I'm one of those who don't jump up and down on the course but probably do off the course – and maybe that's why I'm full of injuries! But every player has his own way of getting around and for me that's my comfort zone. Unfortunately people don't get to see what you're really like and they judge you by what they see on TV. And how was your experience of The Presidents Cup last year? It was great, but it was disappointing. I really thought that this time around we had a pretty
good chance, with a lot of Aussies, a lot of home support and a lot of our guys had played that course so many times. But it shows you that in this game it doesn't matter how many times you've played the course or how big the support is, you've still got to hit the shots. Are the teams quite evenly matched or do the Americans have an advantage in that they play a similar format every year, alternating The Presidents Cup with the Ryder Cup? Well it seems like they do, especially in the foursomes. We lose 80 per cent of our matches in the foursomes so we start the day four points down, then we claw it back in the betterball and play foursomes in the afternoon and we give five points back. And if you go into the final day five points back, it's not easy. Do you have any ambitions to become a Presidents Cup captain in the future? One day yes, when I'm old! A long time from now... Do you ever sit back and take stock of your career and set yourself new goals? I'm at a point in my career when I need to concentrate on winning more tournaments. I'm 43 now and I think I still have a good three years ahead of me. So I'm trying to get my game HKGOLFER.COM
back into shape and win a few more events. But who knows in this game? I mean, my best days could still be coming, you never know. I could be a great senior player. So is the senior tour on your mind at all? I think every player who gets to this age thinks about it, thinks about scaling back, playing only in the events they want to play and spending more time with the family instead of being on the road all the time. Do your business interests come into your thinking as well? Well yes, there's the wine [check out thegoosewines.com, although it is not yet available in Hong Kong]. And I used my time off last year to concentrate on that. It's not an easy product to set up and it takes a lot of effort to build your market and get your name out there. But the wine is doing very well, we've had some very good ratings and it's exciting times because the wine is on its way up. At the end of last year, you slipped out of the top 50 of the World Ranking. That was disappointing and it all came about when I took time off to recover from my injury and I dropped about 25 spots. But it's made me more determined to get back into it and play well. You've had an incredible career, but what would you need to achieve over the next few years to be able to look back and say you've achieved all you wanted to? I still think I have the ability to win another major. I still hit the ball long enough – although I'm 20 to 30 yards behind the long hitters – but I think this year is going to be a good one for me. My body is feeling a lot better so I'm looking forward to some good events this year. As a professional golfer, how much looking back do you do – at tournaments where you could have done better? Everybody does that every week! There's only one guy who is happy – the other 155 guys are upset and thinking I wish I could have done that. Unfortunately golf is the way it is and there's only one winner every week and even the best players in the world only win a few times a year. Are there any memories that haunt you – such as Pinehurst in 2005? Well yes, that one was very disappointing. That final round [of 80, when Retief started the day with a three-shot lead] was a bit of a shock to the system, no doubt about it. I went in HKGOLFER.COM
Probably the biggest change is that I'm 40 yards shorter than I was when I started [on tour]. Even with the older technology I was longer than I am now – when I first joined the European Tour, I was the longest hitter on tour and now I average about 290 yards and I'm only 80th! thinking I could win and shot a big number, so it was really disappointing. That round is one that I'd like to have over. You see all the up-and-coming youngsters in South Africa. Who is the next big star? Well they are all youngsters now, aren't they? Branden Grace won last week, Charl [Schwartzel] and Louis [Oosthuizen] are playing great and I think there must be about 20 South Africans playing on the European Tour and I'm sure one of them will break through like Charl and Louis did. We've also got lots of good amateur prospects. What is the biggest change that you've seen in your 20 years on tour? Twenty years, has it been that long? Yes, it was the end of 1990 that I started – so 21 years ago. Probably the biggest change is that I'm 40 yards shorter than I was when I started. Even with the older technology I was longer than I am now – when I first joined the European Tour, I was the longest hitter on tour and now I average about 290 yards and I'm only 80th! Modern technology has brought the short hitter in line with the long hitters. The long guys are still long, but instead of being 50 yards ahead, they are only 30 yards ahead now. It means more players can win. HK Golfer・APR 2012

The Dusse-Alin ridge is located in the center of Khabarovsk Krai, at the junction of three districts: Verkhnebureinskiy, Solnechniy, and Imeni Poliny Osipenko. The area is unique in its beauty, unusual topography and an abundance of amazing natural objects. The locality is extremely difficult to reach, and part of it is a reserve. All these factors have defined the reputation of this place as a «lost world» of sorts.
Only a few, well-trained sports teams can boast of being here in the kingdom of rocks, lakes and waterfalls. The nature of the area is rich and varied — fr om a unique inhabitant of Lake Korbokhon, the goggle-eyed lenok, to the host of those places, the brown bear. The Dusse-Alin range is one of the most beautiful and highest mountain ranges of the Far East. The remoteness from the road network and steep mountain passes ensure the pristine wilderness remains preserved. The range is of interest for those who enjoy the outdoors, and like exploring the nature and unique features of the Far East. The relief of Dusse-Alin is of an alpine nature.
There are many beautiful mountain lakes within the range and its gorges, surrounded by beautiful rocky circuses. Mountain springs flow across steep rock ledges, and there are numerous waterfalls. The mountains have sharp ridges and steep rocky slopes. A relatively flat mountain plateau provides effortless access to 1,950 meters above sea level on foot, from wh ere in good weather you can see for tens of kilometers with the naked eye. The magnificent scenery of the Dusse-Alin ridge and its surroundings have a beneficial effect on one's mental state, and the pure mountain air and water serves to enhance the physical condition of travelers.

On a beautiful October morning, hundreds gathered at Clement Park to honor teenagers lost by suicide and to help raise money to prevent it.
Although last Saturday's 16th annual Second Wind Run/Walk did include a run and a walk, there was more to the day than that. Second Wind Fund staff, volunteers and community members congregated in South Jeffco for a fun-filled day, which included a short program, a memorial dove release, live music, family entertainment, sponsored booths and food. Mostly, though, the event was one of remembrance.

GOLDEN — In a softball game featuring 17 runs and 27 hits, it actually came down to pitching on Sept. 30 at Golden High School.
Golden junior pitcher Cassidy Paulson retired 10 of 11 final D'Evelyn batters she faced to help the Demons, ranked No. 6 in the current CHSAANow.com Class 4A softball poll, to a 9-8 victory over their 4A Jeffco rival.
Korbe Otis is wiser than her years would suggest. The Columbine freshman pitcher plays with the calmness of a seasoned veteran.
So when she allowed her second two-run homer of the game Saturday — just two outs from victory — she didn't let it rattle her. Instead, she embraced the opportunity that was presented to her an inning later.
DENVER -- Christian Holmes, the Chatfield Chargers' No. 1 singles player, is the 5A state boys tennis champion. It's the first state tennis title at a singles position in school history.
Holmes started off slowly Saturday morning at the Gates Tennis Center, losing the first set 6-4 to Fairview's Tom Melville. In the second set, after going down 3-2 early, something clicked for the Chatfield junior. He won the next four games to take the second set 6-3.
LAKEWOOD — Jockeying for postseason position is well underway on the soccer fields across Colorado.
D'Evelyn took a nice step in the right direction Sept. 27 with a 4-1 victory over Wheat Ridge in Class 4A Jeffco League action.
Jeffco has proposed an average 3 percent increase in salaries and 2.5 percent increase in benefits for its employees for 2018. As a whole, the county would spend almost $11.5 million more on salaries and benefits than it did in its 2017 budget — a 4.7 percent increase.
The county has a little more than 3,000 full-time and grant-funded employees; salaries and benefits has made up about half of the county's expenditures the past several years, the Jeffco commissioners said.
DENVER — Chatfield's junior tennis star Christian Holmes surpassed expectations on Saturday, not only winning the 5A state tennis tournament at No. 1 singles, but also being the first player at a singles position to win state in Chatfield school history.
It was also the first time a Jeffco player had won the title in the largest classification (5A) since 1996 and the fifth time ever since state tennis first began in 1927.
By Dennis Pleuss
ARVADA — Defense was the name of the game from start to finish Sept. 28 at the North Area Athletic Complex.
Dakota Ridge's goal-line stand in the final seconds preserved a much-needed 14-7 victory over rival Wheat Ridge in the non-league football game.
NORTHGLENN — Wind could not stop the D'Evelyn and Chatfield boys from racing well at Friday's Pat Amato Classic at Northglenn's Open Spaces Park, but the girls were no match for a nearby thunderstorm, which abruptly ended their competition midway through.
After the botched race, none of the times for the 12 finishers counted, and most of the group didn't make it to the end or get to run again. The boys, however, were done just in the nick of time, despite gale-force winds that disrupted their mojo halfway through the contest.
Columbine principal resigns to take job in Aurora
Three years after succeeding Frank DeAngelis as principal of Columbine High School, KC Somers resigned to take a position as a P-20 Learning Community Director with Aurora Public Schools.
In a resignation letter dated Sept. 8, Somers expressed "mixed emotions" about his decision to take on the new role, which will see him provide leadership and support for students, teachers and principals across the Aurora school district instead of just at an individual school.

Mycah Dunleavy has two goals in life: to protect her friends and to defend the World Below. In order to take her fight to the enemy she must become the most powerful witch she can be. But that power comes at a price.
In fulfulling her first goal, she committed the cardinal sin of using her magic to harm others. And to attain the second, she must combine in a ritual with a Watchtower Knight despite the fact she can't bear to be touched.
Undaunted by Mycah's defensive armor, Sebastian wants to claim her as his own and he intends to woo her long and slow. Then Mycah comes up with a crazy plan to gain more power and he becomes nothing more than a means to an end a role he has no intention of accepting without a fight.
But there are bigger threats to deal with in the World Between. Mycah's life is threatened, four Witches are kidnapped, and once again the enemy is knocking at the door. Time is running out, and if Sebastian and Mycah don't find a way to work together, both of their worlds could be lost.

For the last few months I've been working with Laura Mark and The Architects' Journal to produce a half hour documentary on Zaha Hadid. We visited four of her key works to try and tell the story of her architectural life, from her time at The AA, to her first permanent built project at Vitra, her Stirling Prize winning MAXXI, being catapulted into the public eye with the London Olympic Aquatic Centre and finally, one of her last projects, the Winton Mathematics Gallery at the Science Museum.
In the film, we had the privilege of interviewing some incredible people such as Eva Jiricna, Christine Murray, Hanif Kara, Patrik Schumacher, Ricky Burdett, Giovanna Melandri and Nigel Coates.
You can with the finish film on The AJ's Youtube channel, HERE (I'd recommend clicking 1080p on the settings cog to get the best quality).
Posted: Friday, October 16th, 2015
I was commissioned by The Architect's Journal to produce a series of short films on each of the 6 nominees for the RIBA Stirling Prize. This year was one of the most interesting shortlists I'd seen for a while - less of a focus on the 'iconic' and more on craft and details. It was also incredibly diverse, with a Maggie's Centre for those dealing with cancer sitting alongside a school, social housing alongside a museum and gallery, private housing and university buildings.
I travelled to Lanarkshire, Manchester as well as across London to document the projects and meet the architects and the users of the buildings. Two things linked this diverse list; the first was the attention to detail, all these projects are truly crafted. The second was that no-one wanted to pick a winner!
Still, a huge congratulations to AHMM, Morag Myerscough and Burntwood School on winning the Stirling Prize, 2015, for a wonderful collection of buildings that display a huge range of architectural skill. Here's all six videos I created, plus some stills I shot on site too...

I was born in 1981, when The Jam were at their peak. They broke up in 1982, so obviously I don't remember them at the time, but their impact was huge. So many of the bands I was getting in to in my teens were very very obviously influenced by Weller's lyrics and the band's sound, and songs like 'That's Entertainment', 'Start' and 'Going Underground' were mainstays in Brighton's indie discos.
So when Anthony Burrill called to see if I'd be up for doing stills and video of Somerset House's new exhibition on The Jam he'd been working on with Simon Jones Studio and Teo Connor, my response was of course a cool and collected "I'll check my calendar" and definitely not a shouted "HELL YES!!!"
Scroll on for more stills and video from The Jam: About The Young Idea...
Photos and Videos - Craft and Architecture on Savile Row
Posted: Sunday, June 28th, 2015
Almost two years ago now, Stephen Pey from EPR Architects approached Edward and I with a project that he described himself as a "labour of love" - a new mixed use building on London's Savile Row clad in almost 10,000 hand glazed ceramic tiles, created in a spirit of true collaboration. Edward and I had recently formed Stephenson / Bishop, combining his film making skills with my background in architecture to create films on the built environment. Stephen's brief to us was to follow the life of the tiles, from inception with EPR, to the creation of the unique glazes by Kate Malone to being hand glazed by Rich Miller and his team at Froyle Tiles in Sussex and finally to installation on Savile Row. This series of 4 short films, plus the photos, are the result of our documentation...

For the last three years now, I've been commissioned by The Serpentine Gallery to document the construction of their annual pavilion. The construction is a fascinating phase to witness, to see how each architect approaches the site and to see how Stage One, the contractors who have to build these structures, flex and bend to each design. Here's a series of images, plus a video, of the whole process - from marking out to celebrating with champagne in the sunshine...

New Release: Kent McAlister & the Iron Choir - The Way It Rolls
Canada's tradition of good country music is firmly rooted in the prairies of Alberta. From these roots has sprouted a more contemporary branch of Americana that has a fresh vibrancy while still paying homage to the pioneers that defined the genre.
Kent McAlister may have relocated from his dusty Alberta roots for the ocean-side energy of coastal British Columbia, but he hasn't forgotten his roots. Along McAlister's journey he has gained a proficiency in everything from jazz to post-modern rock, but these later influences were seamlessly blended with his deep country roots rather than replacing them.
When Kent McAlister & the Iron Choir's new release, The Way it Rolls first arrived at the Bus I opened it with a bit of anticipation. For some reason, I find that some of the best Americana music comes from outside the borders of the U.S. and the first few bars of the first cut "Circumstantial Dues" only strengthened that theory.
McAlister's expressive baritone voice has the warm, comfortable sound of a folk singer, at times gentle and inviting and at others powerful and convincing. The music on The Way it Rolls is just as varied starting with the Bakersfield-inspired "Circumstantial Dues", the mariachi sound of "Old Bandolier" (including a burst of Spanish style horns), to a cover of legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen's "Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye", and the mysterious folk/jazz of "A Twisted Wire" complete with other-worldly echoing guitar. "All That You Know" is a country/folk lament of parting lovers with an acoustic guitar rhythm tastefully accented with pedal steel guitar and touches of swirling strings. The CD shifts gears again with the title song, "The Way It Rolls", kicking off with a guitar riff that could have come straight off a classic country album from the '60s. Changing gears yet again, "Ballad of the Jaded Wagoneer" is an all acoustic, dusty trail cowboy song of an alcoholic that has fallen off the wagon. The CD finishes strong with "It Counts For Something". Nashville could take a few tips from this song that smoothly combines a country theme with country-rock and jazz instrumentation, pop hooks, and folk sensibility.
The Way it Rolls left me wanting more, not because it lacked anything, rather because it is such a diverse treat. This second release from Kent McAlister & the Iron Choir is packed to the brim with superb, emotion-filled songwriting, excellent arrangements, and outstanding musicianship.
Kent McAlister & The Iron Choir - "The Way it Rolls" was due to be released October 23rd but a quick search of the regular outlets does not show any listings yet, at least in the U.S.
I would recommend checking McAlister's MySpace page or website (website still under construction also) to watch for a release date.
"The Way it Rolls" is worth the wait.
