When Greenwood Chevrolet employee Kevin Juillerat suffered from a stroke in August, his coworkers banded together and decided to assist their friend. They held a fundraiser at Don Victor's Restaurant located at 4626 Mahoning Ave. Oct. 21 to raise money for Kevin's medical bills.
"Here at Greenwood Chevrolet, we're a family. We always help our coworkers. We got together because everybody is going to have their time when they're in need. I look at it this way — we're all very blessed and when God blesses us, it's our responsibility to help others. The donations were overwhelming. I've done this for over 25 years and I've never seen so many people give so much," said Greenwood Chevrolet Advertising and Marketing Director Teri Simon.
Coworkers sold meals for $25 each and participants were also entered to win a variety of prizes during a 50/50 raffle and a Chinese auction. Some grand prizes included a 32-inch flat-screen TV, a hot air balloon ride and even tickets to watch the Cleveland Cavaliers. While people enjoyed food, they also were happy to help a good cause and Kevin's wife, Jennifer, was grateful for the support of neighbors and friends.
"It's fabulous. People's hearts are so big. The generosity of our friends and family is so unbelievable. My husband is a strong man and he's really determined to get back to himself as much as he can. We just want to thank anyone who helped us in any way," Jennifer said.

Dave Wood's Book Report, Nov. 28, 2007
It's not just because I live near Maiden Rock, Wis., and have escaped from the Twin Cities, that I like the police stories of Mary Logue, the Twin Cities' poet and memoirist. It's because Mary Logue knows how to tell a story with great style and sympathy for her characters.
Logue and her partner Pete Hauptman spend their summers in Maiden Rock and from their proximity to the setting and the Mississippi, Logue has crafted several stories about a Pepin County deputy sheriff Claire Watkins, an escapee from the Twin Cities, and her adventures in the little town and its distinctive brand of river people.
Among them are "Blood Country," "Dark Coulee," "Glare Ice," "Bone Harvest" and "Poison Heart."
Now she's out with a new one, simply titled "Maiden Rock" (Bleak House Books, $24.95) and it's a page turner with a contemporary message.
It's Halloween and on the following day the dead body of a high school girl is found at the foot of Maiden Rock. But it wasn't the same fate the Indian maiden of legend suffered at the same locale. Traces of methadone are found in her blood. Was it murder or a meth-induced accident?
It's Claire Watkins' job to find out and the job is made more difficult by the presence of Watkins' teenage daughter, an acquaintance of the dead girl.
Methadone manufacture and use is a big problem in rural Wisconsin and Logue does a marvelous job in fleshing out the characters affected by it.
The holiday season is approaching and what better gift for a loved one than a cookbook or a book about cooking. One of each is staring at me from my desk. Cookbook publishing has provided one of the big booms over the past 50 years in an otherwise moribund business. Before that there were very few cookbooks.
There was Fanny Farmer's famous tome. There was the loose-leafed Pillsbury, but not much else.
My mother loved to cook and she had neither of the above. What she had was a homemade cookbook with handwritten recipes entered into a spiral notebook, with an occasional recipe from a newspaper clipped and glued in.
That all changed after World War II. One of the movers and shakers in that area of the publishing world was Judith Jones, a Random House editor who played midwife to Julia Child and the revolutionary bestseller "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."
Jones's new book, "The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food" (Knopf, $24.95), is her memoir about life among the chefs, her own place in the kitchen and the publishing industry itself.
And she even includes recipes to serve just one, including James Beard's Swordfish-Olive Pasta, Lidia Bastianich's Gratinate of Cutlet with Eggplant and Zucchini Slices and Jacques Pepin's Skillet Duck Legs with Parsnips.
If you're looking for more recipes and less memoir, try another Knopf offering by Susan Spicer of New Orleans. A few years back a bunch of friends from River Falls, Wis., attended a convention in New Orleans. I was not a big fan of the city (smelly) or its cuisine (overrated, in my book). But one of our number who knew the city booked us into a restaurant that was not as famous as Antoine's, Commander's Palace, etc.
At least not then it wasn't. Our friend had booked a dozen of us into a place called Bayona, owned by chef Susan Spicer. We had a marvelous meal, full of imaginative dishes that weren't all cajuned-up.
My favorite hors d'oeuvre was a plump oyster perched on a bed of cheesy grits. Delish! I was so impressed that I introduced myself to Susan Spicer and wondered if my wife and I could come back on the following day.
She replied that they were booked up for weeks in advance. I told her I was a restaurant critic in River Falls (I didn't tell her its population) and she squeezed us in the following night. Delish again.
Now she's out with her first cookbook, a big one, entitled "Crescent City Cooking," ($35), a compendium of her own recipes, recipes by her assistants. They look really interesting and do-able.
There's only one disappointment: No plump oyster on a bed of cheesy grits. Maybe her next book will have it, for most certainly there will be a next book.

Pictures of food and pictures of art do well on the internet, so London-based photographer Carl Warner wised up and combined the two into a deliciously creative and ingenious set of landscapes crafted entirely out of food called ?Foodscapes.? The 25-year veteran advertisement photographer came up with the idea to photograph clever arrangements of cabbage oceans, mashed-potato mountains and salami rivers roughly 10 years ago, but only in 2008 did it receive international recognition. Since then, he has continued developing the idea, using his experience with artificial lighting and tabletop photography to create new delicious foodscapes. Would you hang one of these on your wall?

D.C. police and federal officials have arrested eight men with ties to Mexico's La Familia drug cartel who sought to set up operations in the Washington area, law enforcement officials said.
Authorities also have seized millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine as part of the investigation.
Undercover officers and agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested the men on federal conspiracy charges last week, and authorities are expected to make a formal announcement Wednesday. Investigators served search warrants in three states and arrested the men Friday in raids that seized several pounds of crystal meth and dozens of gallons of liquid meth, the sources said.
Authorities seized an estimated $5 million worth of crystal meth in the raids near Atlanta. Officials also recovered six pounds of marijuana, three guns and more than $15,000 in cash from raids in the Winston-Salem area of North Carolina and in Temple Hills.
The investigation followed a purchase by a police informant and an undercover officer of a kilo of cocaine and five pounds of crystal meth in mid-November from a local trafficker in the D.C. area, the law enforcement officials said.
That led investigators to a larger deal two days later. They met with a suspected La Familia cartel leader in Winston-Salem to discuss the purchase of large quantities of crystal meth. That leader, identified by authorities as Alberto Garcia Calderon, told undercover officers that he had unlimited amounts of meth and would begin distribution in the Washington area, the officials said.
The officers and Calderon agreed to meet Dec. 8 near Atlanta. Two days later, undercover officers said they would pay the La Familia members more than $100,000 for 20 pounds of meth in Winston Salem. Instead, ICE agents arrested four men in North Carolina, and other agents simultaneously raided two drug houses in Atlanta.
Authorities arrested and charged eight men in U.S. District Court in Washington on federal charges of conspiracy to distribute crystal meth, the officials said.

My team and I have dedicated the last six months of our lives bringing this cause to reality in hopes for Ben to be able to get healthy, spend time with his family, and extend his life. www.lifeforsale.net
New Hogan's Beach Commercial "Nice Bun's"
Posted by Posted by Daniel Jones on at 11:52 AM | | 0 comments
I was fortunate enough to another opportunity to produce a commercial with Hulk Hogan. This time it was an ad geared towards branding Hogan's Beach Tampa. It is another scandalous, bare-assed, attention grabbing video they we hope will get people talking about the Bar / restaurant in Tampa, Florida. Featuring Hulkamania and Jimmy hart. We got Hulksters approval to launch the video the day before he returned to the WWE to host Wrestlemania 30. Hope you enjoy!
The Delivery | Lamborghini Veneno

I got a chance to work on another once in a lifetime project with Steve Chapman and duPont Registry. We went to Miami beach to be a part of the delivery of the first Lamborghini Veneno delivered to the United States. The Veneno was 1 of 3 that will ever be produced by Lamborghini, and the ticket was $4,106,000 yes, over 4 million dollars for this italian made masterpiece. Kris Singh, the man who purchased the hyper-car, was one of the most friendly, down to earth human beings I have ever met and we will be working together again very soon. #thedelivery #dupontregistry #lamborghiniKS

Hulk Hogan - Miley Cyrus 'Wrecking Ball' Parody
Posted by Posted by Daniel Jones on at 8:33 AM | | 0 comments
When Hulk Hogan asked me to produce a commercial for a local start up called "Hostamania", the idea of him swingin' bare-ass on a wrecking ball seemed legit. The bad part is my idea guy Luke James and I only had 48 hours from conception of the idea to cameras rolling.
New Tile Commercial (Too Hot For TV!)
Posted by Posted by Daniel Jones on at 10:01 AM | | 1 comments
I was recently asked to develop a creative concept / commercial for a local tile warehouse / store in Tampa. This was the original concept we came up with which I thought was a home run. The client however, thought differently. Needless to say we had to reassemble the script and reshoot a [G-rated] version of the ad which will be running on TV starting this month. Thankfully they gave me permission to post my original [X-Rated] cut on YouTube for everyone to see... Im sure they will change their mind very soon. This commercial was filmed on a Canon 5D mark3 using a canon 17-35 L-series lens, glidecam 2000, and some damn good creative & comedic genius.

CHICO, Calif., July 12 (UPI) -- A California man accidentally set his home on fire when he was using a blowtorch to clear his yard of cobwebs, his brother-in-law said.
Eiliya Maida was using a propane blowtorch to get rid of spiders in his back yard Saturday when he unknowingly set dry plants on fire, the Chico (Calif.) Enterprise-Record reported.
The flames quickly spread to the attic of Maida's home.
Maida's brother-in-law, George Basbous, said he noticed smoke rings from the top of the house.
"And that's when I went crazy," Basbous said. Basbous called 911 and emergency responders were sent to the house.
Firefighters put out the flames, which did an estimated $25,000 worth of damage to the home.
No injuries were reported.

Michigan Defenders Peppers and Lewis Among 16 Jim Thorpe Semi-Finalists
Desmond King of Iowa Highlights List to Repeat For Defensive Back Award
Photo – CB Desmond King - Iowa
A pair of University of Michigan defenders – Jourdan Lewis and Jabrill Peppers – have been named semifinalists for the 2016 Jim Thorpe Award, presented annually by the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and Jim Thorpe Association of Oklahoma City. This award is given to the top defensive back in college football. Michigan is the only school with two players among the 16 semifinalists for the award. It's the first time that the Wolverines have had at least two players named semifinalists in the same season.
Cornerback Jourdan Lewis and linebacker/defensive back Jabrill Peppers have been leaders on the Wolverines' top-rated defense. The duo has helped Michigan lead the nation in five defensive categories and list in the top four of 10 overall categories. U-M's pass defense is tops in the country allowing just 111 yards through the air per contest. The opposition has shied away from Lewis' side of the field this season, only targeting the All-American cornerback 10 times. He has only allowed seven receiving yards on two catches through three games. Lewis has 10 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one interception and four pass breakups in four games of action.
Peppers is all over the field for the Wolverines, lining up at 14 different positions. Defensively, he is second on the team with a career-best 40 tackles, including a team-leading 10 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble. Offensively, Peppers has carried the ball 10 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns while catching a five-yard pass against Illinois. He is third nationally in punt returns with 14 for 249 yards (17.8 avg.) and one touchdown, and returned five kickoffs for 153 yards.
Highlighted by Desmond King, last year's Thorpe Award recipient, this year's watch list includes nine seniors, four juniors, and three sophomores. King (5-foot-11, 200-pounds) has started all eight games at cornerback this season and has 46 career starts. This season he has recorded 26 solo tackles and 15 assists, leads Iowa with six pass break-ups, and had a 41-yard interception return for a touchdown in a win at Purdue.
King, a native of Detroit, also leads Iowa's special teams through eight games. He is averaging 32 yards per kickoff return to rank sixth in the nation. He is also averaging 9.2 yards on punt returns. King had a career-best 77-yard kickoff return last weekend against Wisconsin. In 2015, King tied the Iowa single-season record and ranked second in the country with eight interceptions, while recording 72 tackles and a team-high 13 pass breakups. He averaged 14.2 yards on 17 punt returns and 24.4 yards on 29 kickoff returns.
King was named a unanimous consensus All-American in 2015, was the recipient of the Jack Tatum Award and was named the Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Conference Defensive Back of the Year. King was one of five finalists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, and was Iowa's Most Valuable Player on defense.
The three finalists for the Thorpe Award will be named on Monday, Nov. 21. The winner of the prestigious award will be announced live on ESPN's Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Dec. 8. The 2016 Thorpe Award winner will be honored at a banquet in Oklahoma City on Feb. 7, 2017.

Barrett, Ohio State's all-time leader with 60 TD passes in just 22 career starts, has been outstanding through five games, accounting for 19 TDs (15 passing, 4 rushing) while completing 79-of-123 passes for 981 yards. He tossed a career-high six TD passes to four different receivers in the season-opening win over Bowling Green while throwing for a career-high 349 yards. He also rushed for a score to set an Ohio State record with seven TDs accounted for in that contest.
In the road win at #14 Oklahoma, he tossed four TD passes – all to Noah Brown – and added 74 yards on the ground. Against Rutgers, he tossed another four TD passes and now ranks ninth in the FBS with his 15. Two weeks ago, he rushed for a season-high 137 yards and a score and added 93 yards and a TD through the air in the win over the Hoosiers.
The Wichita Falls, Texas native is responsible for 86 career TDs (rushing and passing) and needs three more to break Braxton Miller's school record of 88. Barrett's 86 scores also are the second-most among active FBS players.
Barrett, who is 21-2 in his career as a starter, helped the #2-ranked Buckeyes to come back at Madison, Wis., and beat the #8 Wisconsin Badgers last Saturday.
Remaining candidates for the prestigious annual award are:
J.T. Barrett, Ohio State
Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee
Luke Falk, Washington State
Chad Kelly, Ole Miss
Trevor Knight, Texas A&M
Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech
Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma
Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State
Cooper Rush, Central Michigan
Seth Russell, Baylor
Zach Terrell, Western Michigan
Mitch Trubisky, North Carolina
Greg Ward, Jr., Houston
Deshaun Watson, Clemson
Davis Webb, California
The Golden Arm Award is presented at the end of each season since 1987 to the nation's top college quarterback, based on his accomplishments both on and off the field. Candidates must be a college senior or fourth-year junior on schedule to graduate with their class. These strong leaders have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and worked hard for themselves and their teams during the season and beyond.
"The Golden Arm Award considers character, citizenship, integrity, leadership, and honor – characteristics that were displayed by my father – to be every bit as important as the quarterback's completion rate or number of touchdowns scored," says John C. Unitas, Jr., President of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, Inc. "Despite my Dad's outstanding accomplishments, he never forgot his humble beginnings and that won him a permanent place in the hearts of everyone who ever knew him,"
In 2016, The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award will be presented at a ceremony on Friday, December 9, in Baltimore, MD. Proceeds from the event help support the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, Inc. The Foundation provides financial assistance to underprivileged and deserving young scholar-athletes throughout Maryland and Kentucky.
The namesake of the Golden Arm Award has a storied history. Johnny Unitas was an 18-year veteran of the NFL, who played his collegiate career at the University of Louisville before joining the Baltimore Colts in 1958. His career passing figures include 2,830 pass completions for 40,239 yards, 290 touchdowns and throwing a touchdown pass in 47 consecutive games.
Past standout winners of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award® include: Peyton Manning (Tennessee, 1997); Carson Palmer (USC, 2002); Eli Manning (Ole Miss, 2003); Brady Quinn (Notre Dame, 2006); Matt Ryan (Boston College, 2007); Colt McCoy (Texas, 2009); and Andrew Luck (Stanford, 2011), Marcus Mariota (Oregon, 2014) Last year's winner Connor Cook, Michigan State.

Updated 2016 Biletnikoff Award Watch List
The Tallahassee QB Club Foundation Announces updated 2016 Biletnikoff Award Watch List
The Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the Biletnikoff Award, has released the 2016 Biletnikoff Award updated Watch List. The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the outstanding receiver in college football. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes the outstanding receiver, not merely outstanding wide receiver. The award recipient is selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, and former receivers. Foundation trustees do not vote and have never voted. Receivers are periodically added to the watch list as their season performances dictate. Actual, not potential, performance is the basis for inclusion on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List.

The 2016 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on December 8, 2016, on The Home Depot College Football Awards Show to be broadcast 7:00 – 9:00pm (EST) on ESPN. College Football Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard will present the 2016 Biletnikoff Award winner on the show. Howard is one of only 5 ends or receivers who has won the Heisman Trophy, joining Larry Kelley, Leon Hart, Johnny Rodgers, and Tim Brown.
The correlation between Biletnikoff Award winners and stardom in the National Football League is uncannily predictable. Past Biletnikoff Award winners include Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree, and Larry Fitzgerald.

Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List announced
88 Players On Defensive Player of the Year List
Photo - DE Myles Garrett - Texas A&M
Myles Garrett of Texas A&M, Desmond King of Iowa and Malik McDowell of Michigan State headline the 2016 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List that includes 88 defensive standouts from all 10 Division I FBS conferences. King, Lurry and Garrett are the returning first-team Football Writers Association of America All-Americans.
The watch list also includes a pair of returning second-team FWAA All-Americans, Eddie Jackson from Alabama and Jourdan Lewis from Michigan.
The Southeastern Conference led all conferences with 27 players, followed by the Big Ten (13), Pac-12 (13), ACC (11), Big 12 (10), Mid-American (4), Mountain West (3), American Athletic (2), Conference USA (2), Sun Belt (1) and Independents (2). Alabama and LSU each had five players on the list, which included 31 backs, 29 linebackers, 21 ends and seven tackles.
Players may be added or removed from the watch list during the course of the season. Once again, the FWAA will announce a National Defensive Player of the Week from early September through mid November. If not already on the watch list, the honored player will be added at that time. The FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club will announce five finalists for the 2016 Bronko Nagurski Trophy on Thurs., Nov. 17.
The Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner will be chosen from those five finalists who are part of the 2016 FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the association's entire membership, selects a 26-man All-America Team and eventually the Nagurski Trophy finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner, the best defensive player in college football.
The annual Bronko Nagurski Trophy Banquet, presented by ACN, will be held on Mon., Dec. 5 at the Westin Hotel in Charlotte. In addition to the 2016 Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner's announcement, the banquet will also celebrate the recipient of the Bronko Nagurski Legends Award, sponsored by the CTC and Florida East Coast Railway. Navy's Chet Moeller, a member of the FWAA's 1975 All-America Team and a College Football Hall of Famer, will be honored. Duke head coach David Cutcliffe will be the keynote speaker at the banquet.

2016 Paul Hornung Award Watch List
Watch list players (43) accounted for 46,000 all-purpose yards, 552 tackles and 216 TDs in 2015
The Louisville Sports Commission today named 43 multi-talented college football players to the 2016 Watch List for the Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse.

The Paul Hornung Award, now in its seventh season, is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission and football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung. The winner and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award Banquet presented by KentuckyOne Health, to be held at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville in February 2017. The Paul Hornung Award recently was named an associate member of the prestigious National College Football Awards Association.
The 2016 Paul Hornung Award Watch List contains three of the four 2015 Paul Hornung Award finalists: Adoree' Jackson from Southern California, Jabrill Peppers from Michigan and Christian McCaffrey from Stanford. McCaffrey won the Paul Hornung Award in 2015 after amassing 3,496 all-purpose yards, breaking Barry Sanders' record of 3,520 set in 1988. The Watch List also includes 16 of the top-100 all-purpose players from 2015 according to yards-per-game average from ncaa.com.
This year's Watch List is comprised of 21 seniors, 13 juniors and nine sophomores who start at a total of seven different positions, and represent 42 universities and all 10 conferences that are part of the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The Pac-12 leads the conferences with eight players followed by the ACC and SEC with seven players and the Big Ten with six players.
Players on the Watch List accounted for 9,257 rushing yards, 15,787 receiving yards, 17,332 kickoff return yards, 3,676 punt return yards and 552 total tackles in 2015. Reminiscent of Hornung during his playing days, members of the Watch List demonstrated a knack for scoring numerous ways. Last season the Watch List players combined for 216 total touchdowns in seven different ways - passing, rushing, receiving, punt return, kickoff return, interception and fumble recovery/fumble return.
"I'm ecstatic that the Paul Hornung Award has gained national prominence in such a short time," said Paul Hornung, the 1956 Heisman Trophy winner who played every position in the offensive backfield during his Notre Dame career and was a triple threat halfback for the title town Green Bay Packers of the early 1960s. "During the past six years the quality of our winners, finalists and weekly honorees has been impressive, and I'm pleased that we are able to acknowledge outstanding players who contribute any way possible to help their teams win the way I did."
"I enjoy following the players on our Watch List and watching many of our winners and finalists from the first six years as they make their marks in the NFL," continued Hornung who maintains an office in downtown Louisville. Hornung won the Heisman Trophy as a quarterback and earned NFL MVP honors for the Green Bay Packers in 1961, setting a single-season NFL scoring record rushing, receiving, passing and kicking that stood 46 years. He is a member of the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame, and Vince Lombardi once called him, "The most versatile man ever to play the game."
The 2016 Watch List was compiled by a panel of college football experts based on a combination of 2015 statistics, career performance, SID recommendations and expectations heading into the 2016 season. Profiles of each player and information about the Award can be found here. Players will be added to the Watch List during the 2016 regular season based on performance.

A panel of college football experts selects players for the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll based on performance each week during the season. A national selection committee comprised of 16 sports journalists and former NFL stars votes for the Hornung Award finalists and the winner, with fan voting powered by Texas Roadhouse comprising the 17th vote. Regional accounting firm Dean Dorton independently tabulates all votes. The winner is honored at a banquet presented by KentuckyOne Health in late February in downtown Louisville.
The Louisville Sports Commission successfully launched the Paul Hornung Award in 2010 to honor its namesake and native son, and to promote outstanding performances by versatile college football players who often go unnoticed. Owen Marecic of Stanford, a two-way starter and All Pac-10 performer at fullback and linebacker, won the inaugural Paul Hornung Award in 2010; Brandon Boykin of Georgia won the award in 2011 after excelling on defense, offense and special teams; Tavon Austin of West Virginia won the award in 2012 as one of two players in the nation with more than 500 yards in three different categories (rushing, receiving and kick returns); Odell Beckham Jr. of LSU won the award in 2013 after finishing the season ranked second in the nation and first in the SEC with 2,222 all-purpose yards and 185.2 average yards per game; Shaq Thompson of Washington won the award in 2014 as a two-way player, earning first team All-America honors at linebacker and finishing as the Husky's second-leading rusher at tailback; and Christian McCaffrey of Stanford won in 2015 after amassing 3,496 all-purpose yards with 1,847 rushing, 540 receiving and 1,109 return, breaking Barry Sanders record of 3,250 set in 1988.

Well, okay. EC at the gastroesophageal junction, of course... And now mets to the adrenals. So, I'm on my second run of chemo, and this is the second infusion/pump. Y'know, sadly, before I went on this second run, I was feeling pretty good. But now...
Ah, phooey. So, every two weeks -- Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin for a couple of hours, and then 5FU in the pump for 46 hours, and my GEJ hurts! It feels really raggedy, and I'm taking lots of Tums, etc. Nausea is back if I eat too much, and I'm back to eating 1/3 or what I used to. Of course, at the same time, I have an abcess that won't go away, although I've had two teeth pulled, and I'm just sucking down the antibiotics. Amoxicillin didn't work, so I'm on something stronger. I forget what, something like KelFlex, or somesuch.
Anyway tomorrow is my first day back at class, and so I think I'd better go to bed, because I can't sleep in until 10 tomorrow!!
Apr 02, 2012 - 1:33 am
You are in our thoughts and prayers, Jerry! Sorry that round 2 is a rough go for you. Endure....
Hoping that things improve
Apr 02, 2012 - 4:14 am
Sorry to hear round 2 is rough my first round was the worst got a wicked mouth herpetic infection then it got better for the next7-8 ropunds got really old last 3-4 rounds counts dropped and slept alot Mouth sores and teeth issues are a real pain My doctor gave me a solution of cafergot that really helped the stomach pain when dexilant and tums didnt work Also I got compazine and ativan for the nausea.Lived on yogurt applesause oatmeal and soup.But after I stopped the GE mass had shrunk alot and now I can eat just about anything and energy is coming back.Hang in there rest as much as youcan be easy on yourself pamper yourself alot.I do hope the teeth situation improves nothing worse than tooth pain.Hope you have some pain meds as well They gave me vicodine to take when needed somedays I didnt need it at all some days it helped take the edge off the pain.You are in my prayers .Have a good day in class Meg Mac
Apr 02, 2012 - 2:35 pm
Sorry to hear things are not going as well. Having an abcess on top of everything else certainly doesn't help the situation. Hope you get some relief quickly--surely one of the antibiotics will work.
Apr 02, 2012 - 3:27 pm
I just wanted to chime in and offer encouragement and send healing thoughts your way. And back at class with all this going on...you have a lot on your plate. I hope you are getting enough rest so you can get better!
Apr 02, 2012 - 6:02 pm
I sure hope you get feeling better soon - I have had so many abcesses that finally the last one was the straw that broke the dentists' back - so now I have a complete upper denture - I'm way used to it now - but it definately took some getting used to. It does beat the heck out of the abcesses - ughhh
I'll bet you are one heck of a great teacher - I know you are - because I remember that you said you loved it. Lucky students to get you for sure.
Sounds like Don is going to have additional radiation as much as we had hoped against it - don't have all the nitty gritty details because the nurse wasn't very informative - basically all she did was read the report to us - didn't seem to know a whole lot. Oh well, like you said - it is what it is and we will deal with it.
Hang in there dude - you know we are all pulling for you every step of the way. Thanks for keeping us posted.
Tons of good mojo coming to your door!
Apr 02, 2012 - 9:44 pm
Dammit, dammit, dammit! Not what I wanted to hear, Judy.
Prayers and positive thoughts that you get better news from the doc. But either way - at least Don is past surgery. It's all small steps towards a better day!
With much love and {hugs}
Apr 02, 2012 - 8:51 pm
Jerry, Thanks for the update. I think about you often and was wondering how you were doing. Hang in there and hopefully after your chemo you will be a candidate for Dr. Mulligan. Glad to hear that your getting back to class. Take care my friend and hang in there!
Apr 02, 2012 - 9:19 pm
Sorry you are not feeling better.
Can you help me? How did they find your adrenal involvement? My husband has two spots on his kidneys and one on his adrenal but the biopsy they did was inconclusive. So he did another and we are waiting on results. How did they determine your adrenal was mets of EC? We have been chasing this since January and he is still feeling well. So I've got my fingers crossed!
Thanks for your help.
Lee Ann
Apr 03, 2012 - 12:07 am
There was actually some uptake on my original PET scan, but because there were enough "hot spots" that weren't cancerous, they didn't worry that much. But sadly, after my first round of chemo and rads the spots on the adrenals had grown, as shown in the pre-surgery CT scan.
So a needle biopsy was scheduled, and sadly it WASN'T inconclusive. They only did one adrenal gland, but there was an enlarged spot on the right one, as well, so they made a logical assumption that both are involved, and it does make sense.
Here's hoping it shrinks down...
First day of class wasn't bad, but I was not nearly as organized as I wanted to be. Still it went well, and we all hope for a good time. With learning actually happening...
Apr 03, 2012 - 12:31 am
Thank you for that information. I was wondering if there was any other way to determine if it is mets, just in case this biopsy comes back inconclusive too. It is so very hard to wait. But, I don't know what I'm in a hurry to find out either. The news of mets has to be devistating I'm sorry to ask you to think back to that event.
I am humbled you are still teaching. Glad your first day went well. You will get organized.
Thank you again,
Apr 03, 2012 - 8:29 am
Keep moving forward Jerry. You will get thru this. It's great you are still in the classroom. You will gain energy from your students. Keep teaching as long as you can. Prayers, Sam Stage IV
Apr 03, 2012 - 9:10 am
Jerry, hugs to you -- great big ones! I hope you get over this bump in the road and start feeling better (stronger) soon. You're amazing to keep teaching. Your students ARE learning. You're the man!

Don't like the smokey, dirty feel of a pool hall? Intimidated by the leatherclad gentlemen eying you sideways everytime you scratch and shout, "Oh fudge!"? So are we and luckily there's a game for us. Bankshot Billiards 2 is one of the Xbox 360 Live Arcade launch titles we downloaded demos for last night. This is just a review of the demo and not the full version, which you can purchase for $15 (1200 points that is).
What do we want out of these demos? We?re looking to be hooked on
a simple and addictive arcade-style experience. Bankshot Billiards 2 is unfortunately not that experience.
Like the rest of the demos, Live multiplayer is not an option so we are limited to single-player games or local
multiplayer. Since a pool demo can?t be level-locked, they impose time limits. Short time limits. You only have 1:30
minutes during your turns to win! At least for our skill level, we could barely get more than a couple balls in
(usually by accident).
You have a choice of singleplayer games like 8-ball, 9-ball, Cutthroat, Euro 8-ball, 14.1 continuous, 3-ball, Trick Shots, Time Trial, and Golf. The last three have only have one premade shot available while the first five and local multiplayer are little fun with the time limitation. This leaves us with 3-ball. Simple yet hard as hell 3-ball. Your goal: sink 3 balls as quickly as possible. This should be easy, even under a minute and a half, but it?s consistenly difficult. Each win brings renewed determination, but 3-ball?s a cruel bitch-goddess, taunting us with her charms but remaining out of reach.
While the game is technically competent with simple controls and clean, detailed graphics, we had trouble getting into it. For free you could do worse than the simple pleasures of 3-ball, but at $15 it is at the upper price range of Live Arcade titles. We wish the developers allowed us to play full games by determining some other method of limiting play (20 plays, then an imposed time limit?). If you chose to actually buy it, you would find a plethora of options and what we imagine would be the deal-clencher: Live support. In the meantime, it?s back to the pool hall for us.
Overall Score: 7.5/10

I want the warmth of a beautiful spring day to sit in my yard listening to the river and birds please
I think this is giving me a subliminal message. I want to go to a tropical island. I want to go some place warm. (Say this in kind of a sing-song chant way to get the best effect.)

The balance of the US $ and the Canadian $
With the US $ and Canadian $ almost equal in value (US $ is 1.00000 and the the Canadian one is $1.00037 as of 9:10 pm EST), I wonder if Canadians are starting to jump to The States to purchase wireless devices which may be unlocked to be used with their wireless carrier back home seeing how the full price on the majority of wireless devices here in The States seem to be quite a bit less expensive. I still ponder why the US wireless carriers don't have 3 year contracts like the Canadians ones do.
If the phones over there are still more expensive anyways.
It's a retentions thing. Have upgrades every 2 years with 3 year contracts, and the customer has to stay with their old phone for a year with a full upgrade to switch carrier. Most customers would cave.

Wayne Shewmake, president of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation (AWF), said the federation was contacted by individuals concerned about the endangerment of Pontoon Park on the Petit Jean River; Cane Creek, northeast of Scranton; Delaware Bay, near Delaware; and Bigelow Park, on the Arkansas River. After several months of working with the Corps, the AWF entered a five-year contract lease agreement with the Corps, and then entered into other lease agreements with the separate groups interested in maintaining the parks.
Only the boat-launching areas will be maintained at Pontoon and Bigelow parks.
Shewmake said AWF, which is a nonprofit organization, had to take out a $1 million insurance policy on the parks, which costs a total of about $1,375 each year, and those caring for the park are required to fund any maintenance fees.
"It could get costly later," he said. "But we're not worried about that right now. Our main goal is to keep the parks open for the sportsmen and visitors."
He added some of the parks have taken to asking for donations to keep the areas clean and usable, adding expenses come out of volunteers' pockets.
"These are volunteers. They're giving up their own time and effort for public use," he said. "If we don't maintain the parks and take care of them like we're supposed to, then the Corps is going to shut them down and put up a gate, and no one's going to be able to get in there anymore."
Shewmake added parks such as Delaware Bay help fund small businesses in their surrounding areas, providing a much-needed economic benefit to the communities.
The Corps announced plans in January to reduce operations at 29 parks statewide, including the closure of 13 campgrounds in an effort to save about $1.9 million a year, according to an Associated Press article. Miles Johnson, resource manager at the Corps' Russellville project office, said the parks were scheduled to be closed for financial reasons.
"It's driven 100 percent by budget," he said. "Most of these parks are very small. For most of them, the primary interest was their access to the river, and most of the communities have stepped up to operate those for us."

Doug Berry had never seen such Tom-foolery before.
Incensed that the CFL officials did not call a Montreal penalty on one play, Blue Bomber defensive end Tom Canada whipped a flag out of a ref's's pocket and threw it to the ground as if calling an infraction. Canada was called for unsportsmanlike conduct at a critical juncture of the fourth quarter.
"I can find the humour in it today," Berry, the Winnipeg head coach, said with a chuckle yesterday.
He didn't Thursday night. Berry yanked Canada off the field and got into his face on the sidelines.
So, what did he say, exactly?
"Don't do that again, Tom. Please," Berry said, pretending to be polite.
"You know, it was surprising to me that he was still smiling when I was talking to him.
"Ya know, sometimes people do things you wish you dared to do."
But Canada, he confirmed, will stay pay for it. Berry will fine him.

Lynnfield girls ruling the net
They wear sparkly blue headbands and matching teal shoelaces on their Mizuno sneakers. But don't let that distract you. The Lynnfield High girls' volleyball team comes to play. And to win.
Home or away, the Pioneers play a polished game and approach each one with a victory in mind. On Wednesday night, Lynnfield clinched a berth in the Division 3 North tournament with a 3-0 win at Beverly, extending their unbeaten streak to 10 games.
"It's really been a team effort,'' said coach Michelle Perrone, a Somerville native. "Our biggest philosophy this year is 'every day a little bit better.' ''
The current seniors were freshmen in 2008, when Perrone was hired to replace Bob Cleary. Those seniors account for six of the eight core players that Lynnfield rotates into the game.
"We've never known any other coach,'' said middle hitter Julia Goldstein, a senior captain. "We've been playing together since freshman year.''
Under Perrone's guidance, each year they have gone deeper into the post-season.
In her first season, Lynnfield finished below .500. The next year, she guided the team to the North final before falling to Notre Dame Academy. Last fall, the Pioneers lost to Case in the state semifinals, 3-1.
"They know what it takes to advance in the state tournament and are very determined to get there again,'' said Perrone, who played volleyball at St. Clement's and then St. Joseph's of Maine in Standish.
Lynnfield, the only Division 3 team in the Cape Ann, has proven that it can compete with any program.
Liz Vo, a senior middle hitter, credits the work of Perrone for the continued success. "We added a lot more new drills this year,'' said Vo. "She is thinking outside the box. Like jump-roping and ladders for conditioning; not just suicides.''
"We want to go the distance and not run out of speed,'' said Perrone, who preaches the importance of a well-conditioned team. "Consistent motion all the time, you should be ready for anything.''
"It has made us faster,'' said Goldstein. "And if you're faster, you can get to every ball. You can get a tip and hit it higher.''
Ms. Perrone, as her players call her, says that her team's greatest strength is its dedication.
"As a coach, I am very lucky,'' she said. "They love the sport. The majority of them play all year round.''
Kelsey LeBlanc, a senior outside hitter who plays for the Andover Pumas along with Goldstein, said the offseason work "helps our court awareness. When we play over the summer then we're not rusty going into preseason.''
Because the majority of the players are dedicated to the game full time, Lynnfield no longer needs to depend solely on one or two players.
"That was us in the past, but two or three great players isn't enough,'' said Vo, who also plays club volleyball.
"There isn't one standout player,'' said LeBlanc. "If there were, we wouldn't be as successful as we are.''
Every player contributes a different element, and that combination of skills makes the Pioneers so dynamic.
"Julia is a smart player. She knows when to push the ball instead of slamming it,'' said Vo, of Goldstein.
"Liz gets so high on blocking and hitting,'' added LeBlanc about Vo. "The other team doesn't know what to do.''
Goldstein chimed in, "Kelsey is a really good server. She has five or six aces every game.''
Rounding out the rotation are setters Abby Norwood and Amanda McQueen, outside hitters Caroline Shannon and Meghan Deighan, and libero Erika Burgess.
"Each girl is playing their position well and knowing where they need to be,'' said Perrone.
The girls believe that their trust in each other is also a factor in their achievement so far.
"In the summer we all hang out a lot,'' said Vo. "We take road trips to the beach and we have dance parties a lot. We're such a close team.''
Perrone said there is no "girl drama. They support one another, on and off the court.''
Although Lynnfield started 10-0, they are not taking anything for granted.
There are challenges ahead with Cape Ann foes Masconomet and North Andover, as well as Lexington, a strong non-league opponent.
"We have to keep our positivity and teamwork up every single game,'' said Vo. "With good coaching, chemistry, and skills, there is nothing stopping us.''
"When we play like we can play, we can do anything and beat anyone,'' said Goldstein.

Jordan Eberle had a pair of goals and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers continued to put crimps in other teams' playoff plans, coming away with a 5-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday.
Sam Gagner, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall also scored for the Oilers (25-36-9), who have won two in a row and gone 10-4-3 in their past 17 games, and at least temporarily moved past Florida into third-last in the NHL.
Gabriel Bourque replied for the Predators (29-30-10) who have lost two in a row and are in serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs for the second year in a row as they are nine points out of the last postseason berth in the West with just 13 games remaining on the schedule.
The game started on a rough note just 48 seconds in as Predators defenceman Ryan Ellis pasted Eberle into the boards on a cross-check from behind, igniting a scrum.
The Predators came close with five minutes remaining in the first period as they took a bit of a surprise shot on Oilers goalie Viktor Fasth that he got a piece of with his glove before looking like an offensive lineman and preventing Patric Hornqvist from getting to the rebound in the crease.
Edmonton broke the scoreless deadlock with 35 seconds left in the opening frame as the rebound from a Martin Marincin point shot came to Gagner in the blue paint and he hooked a backhand shot past Predators goalie Pekka Rinne. It was just Gagner's eighth goal of the season.
The Preds came close to tying the game four minutes into the second, but a Nick Spaling shot rang off the post.
Edmonton made it a 2-0 game eight minutes into the second as Eberle made a long cross-ice pass through traffic on the power play to Nugent-Hopkins, who wrested a shot that went off the tip of Rinne's glove and in. It was the 16th goal of the season for Nugent-Hopkins, breaking a 15-game scoreless drought.
The Oilers took a three-goal lead on a bit of an unusual play with five minutes left in the second period as Hall took a backhand golf swing of a shot that found the top corner and quickly exited the net. Play continued for 1:17 before the Oilers took a penalty and they were able to review the shot and determine it was a goal.
Nashville got on the board with 1:21 remaining in the second as Hornqvist took the puck behind the net before hooking it in front to Bourque, who sent a shot through traffic to beat Fasth.
Edmonton made it 4-1 eight-and-a-half minutes into the third period with another power-play goal. Anton Lander picked up his first point of the season on a nice feed to Eberle at the side of the net as he lifted a backhand shot that ticked off of Rinne and in.
Eberle scored his second goal of the game just 1:23 later, breaking into the Nashville zone with speed and scoring his 23rd of the season on a low backhand shot.
Rinne was replaced by backup Carter Hutton for the remainder of the game.
The Predators play the second match of their four-game road trip in Vancouver on Wednesday night. The Oilers welcome the Buffalo Sabres for the second game of their six-game homestand on Thursday.
Notes: It was the third and final meeting of the season between Edmonton and Nashville. The Oilers also won the two previous games by a combined score of 8-1a Including the Nashville game, 10 of Edmonton's final 13 games are at homea Edmonton goalie Viktor Fasth made his home debut in net for the Oilers after being acquired the day before the trade deadline from the Anaheim Ducksa Predators defenceman Roman Josi entered the game with four assists in his previous three games. ...

The Maple Leafs might not have a full house for tomorrow nights free game against the Boston Bruins at the Air Canada Centre.
All tickets have been distributed, but as was the case last year when a couple of thousand seats were empty, not everyone puts full value on something free. The Leafs didnt consider last years lower than expected turnout a fan backlash and are predicting at least 90% capacity of the 18,819 seats tonight.
Well probably have some no shows, just like a regular game, said Tom Anselmi, executive vice president and COO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd.
The game is co-sponsored with Coke, but the Leafs will sacrifice about $2 million in revenue for the gesture.

The federal government's border fence has been called the Tortilla Curtain. But in the swamp of border politics, there's a more effective barrier at play, one that filters ideas rather than people. It explains why most Americans still don't fully understand the disaster on our southern border. More than anything, bureaucrats want to convince you of the great job they're doing. If the facts say otherwise, they'll sanitize, sugar-coat and sometimes suppress—which a Utah congressman believes has been the case with two blockbuster studies, 7 and 5 years old, that have never seen daylight, until now. The Bush administration's Department of the Interior did both. They were intended to measure the impacts of illegal immigration and drug-smuggling on Interior Department-managed lands in Arizona. The second study, from 2004, looked at how the open border impacted Sonoran Desert wilderness in southwest Arizona, mainly Organ Pipe. This picture was equally grim—for the land, for endangered species and for the whole concept of border wilderness.The wilderness study in particular was handled oddly. It was presented at a 2004 meeting of a borderlands managers' group of public officials who gather regularly in Tucson to talk about border issues. Fred Patton, one of the study's authors and former chief ranger at Organ Pipe, made the presentation. No one in the room was given a hard copy of the content. Even these hardened public lands officials were taken aback by what they heard. Former Forest Service district ranger Keith Graves, who was at the meeting, remembers Patton saying that if someone asked him whether Organ Pipe was an appropriate place for a national monument today, he'd say no. According to Graves, Patton added the wilderness at Organ Pipe had been so degraded less than 10 percent still met that designation. "We thought this study was going to be great to show the impacts," says Graves, now a liaison between Forest Service and the Secure Border Initiative. "But we never heard about it again."...read more
And Senator Jeff Bingaman still pushes for 560 square miles of wilderness near our border with Mexico.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture.

Ronald Paul Yakimchuk
Missing since June 1, 1973 from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Classification: Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Ron and his wife, Terry Pettit left Edmonton, Alberta on June 9, 1973 to head east to Montreal, in a battered Volkswagen Beetle. They were going to attend a wedding on June 16, 1973, then head to the Maritimes, where Ron hoped to land a teaching position and Terry, an Edmonton Journal reporter, intended to seek work as a journalist. En route, they stopped to visit friends near Brandon. The next day, they stopped in Dryden, Ontario, and mailed a one-word postcard to Edmonton.
They did not come to the wedding and have never been seen or heard of since.
They traveled in a 1959 Volkswagen Beetle, red with a green hood, green fender and Alberta license CA3-262. The car was filled with a white, three-metre kayak and boxes of clothes, books and household goods.
Their bank accounts have never been touched and their Volkswagen has never shown up anywhere. Ron's life insurance has never been collected. The couple has never been declared dead.
There was talk the couple was planning to go to Europe, but police say only Terry had a passport. They may have decided against staying on the narrow, hilly Trans-Canada Highway and headed south, crossing the U.S. border at International Falls and on to Duluth, MN. It's unclear whether police ever checked on that possibility, or if there are records of their entry into the U.S.
Ron is described as laid back, and a calming influence. A farm boy from Andrew, Alta, he was described by friends as "down to Earth" and "extremely sensible and mature."

Deaths elsewhere
- February 4, 2013 - 9:37 PM
Essie Mae Washington-Williams, 87, the long-unrecognized daughter of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, died Monday.
Washington-Williams, the biracial daughter of onetime segregationist Thurmond and a black maid in his parents' Edgefield, S.C., home, was living in Irmo, S.C., at the time of her death. It was not until 2003, after Thurmond's death, that Washington-Williams revealed that he was her father. Thurmond had served in the Senate for 48 years.
In 2003, she told a news conference that her mother, Carrie Butler, was a maid working for the Thurmond family. She said she met her father for the first time at 16.
"At last, I feel completely free," said the retired Los Angeles school teacher.

This Is Scariest Job On The Planet In My Opinion
Since everyone loved the Facebook post I decided to share it with the world. You listen to us everyday on the radio. We get you though your 9 to 5 and beyond but, the music doesn't magically get to your car or stereo! It's transmitted through an antenna. A BIG ONE! Repairs are often needed to transmitter lines, bolts, welds, guide wires and etc. The very special people who do this job are lovingly called "Tower Dogs" by all of us in the radio and TV industry. Their phones ring at all hours of the night and they have to keep your entertaining DJ's and music on the air! They also… CLIMB THE TOWERS. You go ahead and watch this video. Wait for your own vertigo and upset stomach to set in, and tell me what you think! I'll be cowering in a corner rocking back and forth mumbling "too high up" over and over….

will be going on HAL, and Curacao will one of our ports. Looking for a good excursion for 5 people. We have never been there before. How about the train or trolley tour? Your comments are appreciated.
Re: curacao
We were there in Feb 01, Took the ships tour to the glass factory and around the city. We went on beautiful air conditioned buses. The city is 18 miles from the port. DO NOT go there alone. The city is not a safe place to be unescorted. I actually saw a guy selling huge daggers in the middle of the street (yes on the yellow line). I would say go, because it is something to see, how the city is built and the squatters houses on the hill sides. The glass factory had really great stuff, bring lots of money or credit cards for the "good stuff". Jeri
Re: curacao
I think Jerilyn is thinking of another port.(Maybe Cartenga).
Curacao is a very pleasant, safe stop. Very easy to just walk around on your own here. I dont really think u need any kind of excursion to enjoy this port.
Features Editor
Re: curacao
I think Jenilyn is thinking of Caracus, Venezula since she mentioned the glass factory. That is the Murano Glass factory.
Curacao is the Dutch island near Aruba and a delightful place to go to. The City of Willemstad is very quaint and build in Dutch style architecture and brightly painted. It is a small desert island. You might just hire a taxi for the day to save money. Find a driver that speaks good English and you should be alright. Shopping is good here, especially for perfumes and colognes from Europe.
Since this is a desert island, all the food is brought in by boat. Dont miss the boats with their produce tied up in the market area with the multi-colored awnings erected over the food stands. The ship docks right down town; any easy walk over the pontoon bridge. Don't forget to bring your camera. There is a lot to take photos of in this port.
Re: curacao
So sorry. It was late and those C words look alike after awhile. Yes I agree Curacao is a nice place to visit. Very pretty, and very safe. Once again I apologize for the miss information. Jeri
Re: curacao
Hi Baybrook,
We once took a snorkeling tour through the ships excersions and it was really good if you like to snorkel. We had to snorkel off the boat, but we say a lot of nice fish, next trip we just walked around town, very nice friendly town.

Network Knitting in the Visual Arts
12 April 2012
Network Knitting in the Visual Arts is a free full day event taking place in FACT on the 20 April. It is hosted by the Turning Point Network, a national group of artists, arts professionals and arts orgainisations in England who are dedicated to working together to find new ways to strengthen the visual arts.
The day is for anyone wanting to explore practical solutions to help them in their daily jobs as well as wanting to make the contemporary arts more sustainable. It will consist of presentations as well as knowledge sharing workshops and activities.
Presentation from Dougald Hine
Dougald is a writer, internet entrepreneur, informal learner and a founder of organisations including the School of Everything, and the Space Makers Agency. He likes to tell stories, explore ideas, bring people together and make things happen and says: "If I'm good at anything, it is making connections - between people, between ideas and between worlds".
Session led by Michael Craven
Michael has extensive experience developing and delivering knowledge initiatives in the non-profit and public sectors and leading organisations through major change and development. He says that with increasing pressure on resources it's sometimes difficult to find the space to engage with new ways of working even when they can add value to over-stretched organisations. The workshop session will introduce knowledge sharing concepts through practical activities which are engaging, sustainable and create value for visual arts individuals and organisations.
Exploring the visual arts
Delegates will have the opportunity to go on a tour of FACT as well as a visit to see Royal De Luxe's Sea Odyssey giant spectacular.
The day starts at 10am and as well as being free of charge, there is also five bursaries of up to £75 to go towards the travel costs of artists and freelancers who are registered as self employed.
To book places, for more information or to apply for a bursary, contact Claire Pollock and Ali Brown via firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 0191 404 915.
