Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16--On the day of Gabriel Meyer's Bar Mitzvah, his father took him to the home of a journalist kept under house arrest by the Argentinian dictatorship. The man had been tortured, and Rabbi Marshall Meyer had helped get him out of prison, as he did many others. He thought the visit would be a useful lesson for his son.
"People used to escape the country through our living room," Gabriel Meyer said recently, speaking of his American-born father, now deceased, who spent much of his life working for human rights in Argentina.
The younger Meyer left Argentina 14 years ago, and has lived in Israel for the last 10. And he believes that his father is looking down on him in approval.
One of the first things Meyer did on a recent stay in Oakland, was go to the local mosque for Friday prayers.
Meyer is no stranger to mosques, as he has made contacts throughout the Muslim community in Israel. He is the co-founder of Sulha, which brings people of all faiths together in Israel for the simple act of getting to know each other. Sulha, which means reconciliation in Arabic, uses music, dance and food, as well as small discussion groups, to break down the barriers. The co-founder is Elias Jabbour, an Arab Christian. Sulha's purpose: to heal the children of Abraham.
While Meyer's father was well known in the Conservative movement--he also founded New York City's Congregation Bnai Jeshurun--Gabriel Meyer is forging a slightly different path, that of Jewish renewal.
"For the last 10 years I've been integrating the renewal of spirit of Israel with nature and art and healing," said Meyer, a musician (funds from his "Merkavah" CD go to support Sulha) who has studied meditation in India and other parts of the world.
The first Sulha gathering took place in Israel in December 2001. It was both Ramadan and Hanukkah, and the Jews cooked a meal for the Muslims, who had been fasting all day, and the Muslims lit Hanukkah candles. About 150 people attended, 15 of them children.
At the next meeting of Sulha last August, 600 people attended, 100 of them children. Meyer hopes to bring 1,000 people to Sulha's summer meeting, which will be held on land donated for the cause by an Israeli Druze. The idea is not only for those living in Israel to participate, but for international witnesses to be there as well. At the last Sulha gathering, a leader from the Native American community participated, and ideally, Meyer would eventually like to bring the Dalai Lama.
The Sulha gathering for 2004 will be a peace caravan, going from the Galilee, where Meyer lives, to Jerusalem.
Continually making the point that peace is conceptual only until people get to know each other as human beings, Meyer said, "The first step is to show appreciation of another's culture, of their grandfathers. Until we do that, peace will remain just a concept."
Meyer acknowledged that this kind of talk is a tough sell in Israel right now, with people on all sides being killed almost daily. "Maybe only 10 percent is available to this language, but that's a lot of people," he said.
Meyer has been in and out of the Bay Area in recent months. He and Amir Paiss, of the Israeli band Sheva, recently joined local musician Jai Uttal in playing concerts at Chochmat HaLev in Berkeley and Open Secret bookstore in San Rafael. At the latter, as candles and incense burned, the audience of nearly 50 could hardly stay in their seats, with one woman skipping around the room.
Speaking recently at Earthville house, a nonprofit in Oakland, Meyer said it was a shame there was no Muslim in the room. "It's up to you to generate that bridge," he said, telling how he met a sheik in Israel by just picking up the phone and calling. Meyer, who is semi-fluent in Arabic, said he went with his drum and sang a song in Arabic.
"Then they see that he knows our songs, and our language. This way you reach someone's heart. That's how things start, not when you talk treaties and ideology. Don't start talking about Sharon and Arafat and borders, because we know where that's going to go. We need to speak a different language."
Earthville is serving as U.S. emissary for the group, whose Web site is www.sulha.com .
Zak Zaidman, who led a delegation of Bay Area Jews to Dharamasala, India, for Passover in 2001, is not only raising money for Sulha, but hopes to take a delegation of Bay Area Jews to Israel for this summer's gathering.
"We can spend our whole energy on how fascist the Israeli government is, or how wrong the Palestinian educational system is," said Meyer, before breaking into drumming and a song. "But it gets us nowhere. We need to encourage what brings hope. You can choose hope or you can choose despair. It's a choice.'"

Also, Appa's shedding again. D:
very much so
I'd so tickle those feetv^^
What wit u guys and feet
Mind if i lick them?
She SEES with her feet. Nuff said.
There needs to be a fanclub dedicated solely(lol) to Toph and her yummy feet.
they do look yummy
Awesome. I love it.
This is fantastic!
That's funny and cute! Very good work!
lol i always liked toph's feet in the series. i always thought the fact that they were always a bit dirty was cute. it is a great example of attention to detail
Foot fetish?
What would make you think that?
Oh you know, the title, content, and the fact that Toph is loved among foot artists.
That's literally the most ridiculous and irrational thing I have ever heard anyone say in my entire life.
You're insane.
You're insane.
And now time to remove the word "delicious" from this title >: D
But, why?
I don't know. This looks too much of an innocent fetish art, so it feels like delicious is just plain wrong as a title...
Isn't "delicious" the first word that comes to mind when seeing the picture though?
And, besides, if it was called "Toph and Her Feet", it would seem like her feet are some seperate sentient beings. And the title, "Toph" is too generic.
And, besides, if it was called "Toph and Her Feet", it would seem like her feet are some seperate sentient beings. And the title, "Toph" is too generic.
Not to all foot boys. Plus, I would think "beautiful" is a better term, no?
But when you see a "beautiful" women, don't you immediatley think about how badly you want to eat her out?? Or is that just me? Either way, that kind of makes "delicious" and "beautiful" synonymous. Kind of...
Just you. I'm saying that if there actually does have some action like having her feet worshiped or covered in food, then delicious is the right word. Otherwise, it just ruins the picture. You know where I'm getting at?
where can i download the book 4?
where can i download the book 4?
Awesome pic. Those feet are magnificent.
Perfect *.*
Beautiful artwork <3
Lick her feet? Ewww, eye ball sex!
I want to lick them clean too
Well, I wanna lick them clean... after making them dirty first!
ahahah agreed on the awesome part! Nice pic!
they are hard to resist
I didn't see appa in the background poor guy he's jealous of toph so he tried to edge himself in to the picture soory big guy you just gotta adore her feet
Yet Appa has SIX feet that are so awesome that he doesn't even USE them! So they're always in perfect condition!!
got to love those feet

Re-Edit: Google did not buy-out ICOA, Inc.
Roshan Ashraf Shaikh / 5 years ago
Edit: It has been confirmed that the original source of information- PR Wire- was a fake that duped multiple news sources. ICOA Chief Executive George Strouthopoulos told CNET that the company has never had any discussions with any potential acquirers – and possibly done by a stock promoter with a dubious interests.
Personally, I apologize for the inaccuracy of the information. Meanwhile ICOA, Inc. said that they will report this to the confirmed authorities.
Source: CNET
Its a move that makes it clear about Google's plan for providing internet connection and not limited via Fiber connection. Google just acquired ICOA, Inc. for $400 Million. ICOA, Inc. is a U.S. based Wired and wireless broadband Internet Service provider providing connections for infrastructures such as airports, Quick-Service Restaurants, Universities, Travel Plaza, Marinas, Hospitality and municipal zones. They also provide hotspot network in RV Parks and campgrounds, so one can easily imagine how this deal will work very well for Google's expansion in the broadband business- and not just limited to Fiber connection that is currently present in Kansas.
ince their recent deployment of Google Fibre project in Kansas which provided much faster Internet connection in the U.S. , this is the best and most healthy move that Google has taken to expand their venture in the Internet Service Provider Business. ICOA, Inc. started officially in January 1st, 2006 and spread across 45 states with atleast 500,000 logins per month. However, its still not clear if Google intends to use this newly acquired company to provide free or paid services in their Wireless Hotspot Zones.

When three great players converge on one football team, the outcome can be special. For example Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig and the San Francisco 49ers dominated the NFL in the 1980s. Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith did the same with the Cowboys as "America's Team" in the 1990s.
It also helps to have a triple threat at the college level.
NFL.com writers Mike Huguenin, Bryan Fischer and Chase Goodbread have tried to identify the best offensive "triplets" in college football in 2014. They say the Arizona State trio of quarterback Taylor Kelly, running back D.J. Foster and wide receiver Jaelen Strong is the best in the Pac-12.
Kelly flies under the radar compared to some of his peers, but was as productive as any last season leading the offense, while Foster is a multi-purpose star no matter where he lines up at. Strong might be the best receiver west of the Mississippi and will be drawing plenty of attention from scouts in case he leaves school a season early.
Kelly also ranks in the top five on seven single season ASU record lists. Foster was second on the team in all-purpose yardage last season with 1,170 yards, while the JUCO transfer Strong was Kelly's favorite target hauling in 75 receptions for 1,122 yards and seven touchdowns.
The Sun Devils lost many starters on defense, which means ASU will need to count on the offensive side of the ball for even more production. If the Sun Devils can lean on Kelly, Foster and Strong again, it will be easier for the maroon and gold to potentially replicate their success from last season in 2014.

What made you decide to have a second baby?
I have always envisioned having 3 children. So having a second was necessary in getting to 3…. But seriously….. we have so much love to give, and I wanted Hannah to have a sibling to play with. I never intended for my kids to be so far apart in age…. 8 years really is like starting over again. It's long enough to forget all those sleepless nights, the fussy baby, teething, spitting up….. but short enough to want more….. Growing up I never had the same goals as other people my age. Some aspire to be an actor or actress, so a writer, biochemist, or president. Me, I wanted to be a mom. I wanted to be the best mom possible to my children because I have so much love to give. My only regret is not having them closer in age….. but who knows maybe that's the best way for us. My heart hurts knowing that I can not have another child, knowing that I will never get my little boy. But I am determined to raise a couple of strong, independent, I don't need a man to make me happy, opinionate women. The world better get ready for that. Ha!
How has Hannah adjusted to being a big sister?
Hannah is AMAZING!!!! She is handling being a big sister better than I expected. She is so helpful, loving, and considerate. She never makes me feel bad for taking care of Sophia, even if it encroaches on her time. Instead she jumps at the chance to help me, to play with her sister, or to sit there and make silly jokes to ease the moment. God I love this child!
Do you cook/bake from scratch? If yes, share your fav recipe.
I love to cook and bake. Sometimes I don't always get the chance too. But I always bake the deserts for our family functions… so that my mom and hubby can eat them to without messing up their blood sugars….. Splenda is my friend.
Since Pumpkin Pie is my fav…. Here is a recipe for diabetic pumpkin pie… I swear it taste better than store bought.
• 1 deep dish pie shell
• 3 large eggs, Beaten
• 1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean…. YUM!!!!
What's the wildest color you've ever dyed your hair?
You ready for this….. The way it is now…. Dark with Burgundy Highlights… I know… I'm wild huh
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Yep! I have 7 brothers, and 3 sisters (That I know of, My mom only had 4 of those sibling…..)
But the one's I have relationships with are…. .
Erik (35, Medic in the Army), Melissa (29, D.C), Andrew (28, Cook in the Army), Daina (27, the sister that has gone loopy, and took my nieces out of the state), Raymond (He'll be 26 in Sept., Airforce), Joshua (He'll be 25 in Aug., He's getting married in June!)
I know that you are a very Christian lady – Raina. Were you raised that way, or was your faith something that you developed later on in life?
]Both. I was brought up in a Christian home, and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior early in my life (Age 4). My mother is a pastor, and performed the wedding for Ryan and I. In a perfect world every child would know that they are loved, never be hurt, never see violence, and never witness a parent dying. Unfortunately we do not live in a perfect world. My biological father was extremely abusive. My earliest memories are those of my father beating my mom and me trying to save her. At 4 yrs old I had a tumor in my left hand, and I knew that Jesus could heal me. So every Sunday when the pastor would ask who needed prayer I would run to the front of the church to receive my prayer. I never had surgery cause my tumor fell out on its own…. Mystified the surgeon. Then a couple of months later I watch my father's health deteriorate and become unable to move off the couch, and die of cancer. At 9 I went through preparing for court because I was raped, but the man was never tried because I tried to end my life before he could fulfill his threat of killing me and my mom. At 19 I married the man of my dreams, or so I thought. But he turn out to be abusive and addicted to pornography, to the point that I found him holding my 8 month old daughter looking at it. So I took Hannah and left. When Hannah was 5 I found out she had an untreatable, uncurable genetic illness. I tell you all these things because anyone who has been through all this should not be ok… It would be completely understandable if they had issues, needed therapy, needed some form of assistance, or had lost it. But my God is amazing…. He is a wonderful healer, counselor, dad, friend, and lover of my soul. He has carried me through all of these things and more. Just when I thought it was more than I could bear, that I couldn't possibly handle what was laid before me, He picked me up and carried me. When the church has turned their back on me, and I had no one to turn too, He was always there. So yes, I accepted Christ at an early age, but He has continued to develop my faith and make it even stronger.
A BIG thank you to *Kiliki* for my beautiful siggy!

Awful TV
Back when P and L were little there was a lot of interest in gay people becoming parents. We were the contacts for the gay parents' group in this town and so we fielded many calls from tv companies looking for people to participate in programmes. We never agreed to take part in anything for TV. Our kids were too young to give their consent and we were very aware that the final product, whatever it might be, would be 'out there', beyond our control and able to be repeated at any time in the future.
We were somewhat torn, as we both believed that only by seeing that gay parents were just people, who loved and cared for their children in much the same way as other parents, would those who 'disapproved' be convinced. The same is true of home ed - it is only through increased awareness that people's fears and suspicions can be allayed. But the thing to remember is that as a participant in a TV programme it is not your intentions, or your agenda, that count. The programme will be what the makers want it to be. In the case of something as trashy as 'Wifeswap' this will be a conflict fest, that panders to stereotypes.
Just recently I have been feeling that it is time for a backlash against 'reality TV'. I am starting to feel vaguely sickened by it. I've never been a huge fan - never watched 'Big Brother' or 'The Apprentice' - but I have seen some other 'reality ' shows. But recently I've started to feel that this kind of TV just appeals to the least sophisticated part of our appetites for entertainment - like porn or sweets appeal to different appetites. And the price of this 'entertainment' is damage to the lives of the participants. Also, the sheer volume of this kind of TV must mean that we are being deprived of the work of good drama or comedy writers - and deprived of decent documentaries. Who knows what might be shown if it wasn't 'Celebrity dog diet up a mountain challenge.'
We've been watching some of the recent programmes about the Edwardians, on BBC Four. When I got home one evening last week I found D and the kids engrossed in a programme where extremely old people shared their memories of experiences they had as children in the Edwardian era. It was wonderful TV. It was also very moving, watching people of over 100 years old well up with tears at their memories of the harsh treatment that children endured in those days. I was particularly gripped by the experiences of two sisters, twins, who had been placed in an orphanage by their widowed mother. My grandmother was placed in a Doctor Barnardo's home by her father, when her mother died, in the Edwardian era. Tales of her childhood were part of mine - via my mum. She could remember queueing on a staircase to be issued with her weekly pair of clean drawers, being fostered by a woman who spent all the money on drink so she had to raid local allotments for food, being put 'into service' as a teenager to 'knock her corner's off'. The programme was not easy viewing but it felt like it was worth our time and attention - unlike so much of the dross that is aired these days.
I'm not a puritan when it comes to entertainment - I've been known to watch some total crap, read rubbish and listen to highly questionable music (think Lionel Ritchie...) - but I think it would be no bad thing if I never saw another 'reality' tv programme. Off-hand I can't think of anything I've ever learned from one - except not to trust 'reality' tv makers.

I totally agree with you on the wifeswap type tv thing, but we did take part in a programme that centred on K & B when i'd just had Josie. I thought it over carefully and then agreed to be the family they were taken to to see how HE works, for a day. For us (and i believe K and B felt the same about the whole thing) it was a fun and positive experience and we had no backlash at all.
It can be great to do such things, but care is certainly needed.

I totally agree. I wouldn't trust the makers of such programmes at all. They seem to be only interested in viewing figures, beating the competition and making loads of money.

A fall is expected.
Assumingly, the formation of a triangle within wave b of A of (4) of a supposed zigzag has finished. Locally, the development of wave c of A has started, within which a starting impetus (i) and a correction shaped as irregular (ii) formed. If the assumption is correct and the price does not break out the critical level at 120.35, the pair is going to fall to 117.00 within the third wave (iii) of c of A.
Trading tips
Sell the pair below the level of 120.35 with the target at 117.00.
Alternative scenario
The breakout and consolidation above the level of 120.35 would allow the pair to grow to 121.00, 122.00.

The Downtown transportation network is operating at capacity as more than 60,000 employees and thousands of visitors come to downtown Austin every day — and that number continues to grow as Central Texas grows. Every one of those people can tell you that getting in and around downtown Austin can be a serious challenge. Central Texas' economic engine can't accelerate to full speed.
The city and region have devoted much time and energy to increase that capacity, for all modes of travel — from roads and rail to sidewalks and trails. Significant commitments of time, money, and resources to accomplish
But there are viable, effective, and cost-efficient strategies to manage Downtown mobility. Movability Austin is a consultant to employers/businesses and a concierge to employees/visitors interested in alternatives to "driving alone" that are available now. We also function to push for and be a part of improvements needed to keep the central city moving.

"Great Performance, Wonderful Book"
I so much enjoyed listening to the "Three Junes". The narrator was excellent and really added to the pleasure of the text. He used multiple voices, accents and intonations that helped to give each character distinct identity and personality in the way that maintained a good deal of interest in a book containing a significant amount of dialogue.
The story itself is a fascinating one with multiple levels and complexities that made it suspenseful even without much of a plot--it's more of a character and issue study and a rumination on fate. Yet I continually looked forward to getting into the car to hear more. The Three 'Junes' are three separate views of the same family/experiences/perspectives narrated by three different individuals whose lives and fates are interwoven at three different instances in time, always in June.
I highly recommend this book whose literary quality is rare among books published today for its discussion of major moral issues in a way that suggests the original purpose of the novel as it developed to its height in the 19th century. It provides multiple ways of seeing the same issue among parents and children, siblings and friends, and pushes one to step into the shoes of another on 'big issues' in such a way as to sympathize with even the most disagreeable character. Unlike much modern literature stuck at being a text about a text, the book addresses the moral issues of our time as they are lived by normal people who nonetheless live the 'examined' life.
"Way better than I expected"
Some of the reviews here made me hesitate, but I thought I'd give the book a try. I am so glad I did. I am now on my second listen, just to savor it again.
Ms. Glass has written some of the most original and apt metaphors that get at the true meaning of an experience. For example, she describes a character's (Fenno's) feeling when he finally discovers that he has been making a long-term mistake in having a relationship with someone (Tony): she describes him as having been drinking water for so long only to learn, late, that it was really just saltwater. Another metaphor describes the "epileptic" flashes of TV light seen from outside a window. Those are metaphors that make me say "yes, yes! that's true!"
The people who won't like this book are probably 2 types: a) they just don't normally relate to gay men, and don't want to (one gay man's complicated friend/family/love life is the central "middle" story here); and b) they don't want to have to do the mental work of paying attention to which time period the story currently is situated in. It is a bit hard at times, but I didn't find it too complicated; there are always enough clues. The book works better this way, too: by taking you into the future just a bit, you can pre-appreciate the impact of the past even before you have fully experienced the past.
Let me just say, too, that this may be the first "gay men in NY during the AIDS crisis" story that I have "read" in which I truly, truly cared for the characters and felt myself moved to tears.
I tried three different times to listen to this book, the last time listening to over three hours
of very confusing text. It skips from past to present so quickly that you're not sure where
you are and top that off with the narrator's brogue that is so heavy at times that you can't
understand what he is even saying.
I do not recommend at all.
"Better Read than Listen?"
I'd have a hard time recommending this as an audio book. I believe it would be a better read than listen. In my case, while driving, I found the audio book a bit too difficult to listen to, found myself rewinding too often to re-listen to many things that I couldn't catch the first time, either due to the Scottish accent of the narrator, the fact the book jumps back and forth between scenes, or the elaborate language. It's funny, but after completing the whole book, I went back and re-listed to the first 2 hours, and it was as if I had never heard it before. Nonetheless, the second time around, it all made much more sense, however I still believe it is an awkward beginning.
As a whole, this book is about the McLeod family, and primarily about Fenno. Then, about 3/4 of the way through, the storyline just drops off and goes on to discuss Fern. I cannot understand how this did not get edited out. I did not care for this character at this point, and kept asking myself, "but what about Fenno?" This event made the book entirely unbalanced. Sure, Fenno's and Fern's lives intersect, but did Fern's entire history add value to understanding their relationship? - I do not think so. The publisher's summary that Fern "must make peace with her past to embrace her future" is simply putting varnish on the weak part of the book. In my opinion, it was simply a story that the writer could simply not throw out, and the overall story suffers for it.
Overall, the book contains volumes of beautifully written prose. Indeed, Julia Glass does paint wonderful pictures of "love in its limitless forms." Regarding the actual audio format, the narrator is both a blessing and barrier, his different accents and inflections help the listener distinguish between characters and often adds color and charm, but at the same time the Scottish accent can be difficult to understand. Additionally, the book would have greatly benefited from a distinct pause when jumping from one scene to another.
"Good Story But Not Connected"
As many others have mentioned, I struggled with this story. When reading a book, it is easy to tell when sections begin and end if only by paragraph breaks. The narrator or editing job did not help with this.
The narrator's Scottish burr was wonderful to listen to and great for the Scottish characters. It did suffer for characters on the other "side of the pond."
The first section led very nicely and logically to the second section. Although interesting, the second section was too long, went down too many paths, and had little connection to the third. I was so looking forward to how all three would be brought together ...and the book ended!! I couldn't believe it!!
The presentation of the gay lifestyle was interesting and enlightening. I am not an expert, but some of the relationships seemed rather far fetched, or on the other extreme, stereotypical.
In essence, if I did not know better, I would have thought that this book was still the story plot ideas rather than the finished product. So many unfinished paths: Marjorie leaving the funeral could have gone somewhere, the twins almost discovering their mother's affair could have gone somewhere, yet what value was there in Fern's connection between Paul and Feno ...when that also was just dropped as it got interesting.
I would have sent this one back for a lot of re-writing.
"My first audiobook - and still a favorite"
Julia Glass' National Book Award winner holds the distinction of being my very first audiobook. And thank goodness for that – I don't know if I'd be as hooked on listening if I hadn't been so charmed by John Keating's lilting performance of this moving family saga (featuring the loveable Fenno who fulfills my own dream of running a bookstore).
"Enjoyable and Insightful"
I very much enjoyed this book. The story was nothing monumental - no murders, no crimes, no intrigue - yet the characters were drawn with such care and love I got pulled into their lives and wanted to know what was going to happen to them next. I really liked the narrator who gave real life to each character - no cheating with funny accents or tricks of the voice. He treated each character as if he or she were real and important. Just a good, small book by a very talented writer.
I have trudged through this entire volume spending much of the time trying to figure out if I was in the present or the past. There was often no pause at all when changing from time to time and I often found myself hitting the rewind button.
All of the narrator's 'American' voices sounded the same which made this further difficult to understand - especially when a character who had died had his voice resurrected in a new character. The worst part is that the story wasn't worth the time I spent trying to understand what was happening and to whom. Wish I had that credit back.
"A worthwhile book."
I'm a sucker for an attractive accent, and the reader of "Three Junes" did his Scottish brogue very, very well. The book itself is responsible for the missing star -- its three-part structure detracted. The father's and eldest son's sections (I and II) were enough; the third section, about how the eldest son eventually met the young woman his father had been attracted to years before after his mother's death, didn't add anything for me. Still, I found I was wrapped up in the characters and their lives. A worthwhile book.
"Beautifully written, and an absorbing saga"
I enjoyed this work very much, and agree with the editor's comments about the richness and depth of the multigenerational characters and vivid settings (Greece, Scotland, New York and New England - not a bad travelogue!). The only issue I had was the abruptness with which new passages were begun. The narrator seems to have been hurried a bit, and since there are so many threads and characters to the story, it would have helped if he had definite "stops" between passages. (Maybe a bell, or some subtle tone.) This was particularly important because there is continual switching between the "three Junes" (three summer periods separated by many years). I was a little amused at the "American" dialects used by the narrator, but this is inevitable and even adds a bit to the interest in listening to the story (it helps that I found the narrator's Scottish burr appealing). I thought the story itself was richly drawn, multi-textured, and that several of the characters were very appealing - particularly Paul and his oldest son, Fenno (I might have favored the wistful ones, I think!). This is the second Audible selection I've tried; the first, "Devil in the White City," was wonderful, as well. I can recommend both if you're down with a protracted bout of the flu and tired of both reading and tv - something I hadn't thought of when I joined to make my long commute more bearable!

After her previous confrontation with Slade, Raven starts wondering why he came back. After hearing theories from the Titans about the "S" on Slade's forehead, another distress call is made about none other than Slade.
The Titans rush to the scene only get beaten and have another message delivered: The "S" is the mark of the Scath and there's something at the library that provides even more information about Raven's destiny. The Titans go to the ancient library only to find another Scath that leads to a chamber that speaks of the prophecy and the "gem."
Shocked by what's happening, Raven travels to Azarath to speak with her mother Arella only to see it's an illusion and that Trigon has already disposed of the city. Back at the library, the Titans find several more Scath that lead to chamber where Slade awaits. He claims that the "gem" is missing and it will open the portal to bring Trigon to the mortal world.
Raven shows up, glowing with the mark of Scath, and beats Slade down. The Titans are shocked at Raven's appearance and she finally tells them her dark destiny only for them to promise the end of the world will never happen. Slade informs Trigon that the prophecy has been foretold which he then says that Slade may one day "reclaim what he lost" if he continues to prove himself.

KassKills' Picks: Top 10 Canadian Rap Videos of 2014 [Article]
Vancouver, BC – Originally published January 2, 2015 – KassKills' Picks: Top 10 Canadian Rap Videos of 2014 can be found below. But first, a message from our Editor:
For the past several years, HipHopCanada's West Coast coverage has been spearheaded by Vancouver based KassKills. As our West Coast Editor, Kass has coordinated our coverage of shows, new releases, contests and interviews, as well as contributed her own interviews and stories. She's a huge reason for a large increase in our West Coast traffic this year and remains one of our most valuable assets. If you're in the Vancouver area and attending a show, you'll likely cross paths with her as she attends a ton of gigs yearly. Hands down, she is a blessing to our team and the scene and she has lots of great things planned for you for 2015.
In 2014, Kass got in a ton of dope interviews including most recently with DPG legend, Kurupt ("Gotti Like That: West Coast words with Kurupt [Interview]"), Toronto's Keys N Krates ("Innovators – Ground Shakers: The Art of Blending with Keys N Krates [Interview]"), and Ab-Soul ("Soul's Philosophies: Ab-Soul (of Black Hippy) [Interview]"). She also linked up with Dizaster, iLL Chris, Craig MacMillan for Move Right Music, Wu-Tang's RZA, Kid Ink, and Madchild although that one is technically Dec. 2013.
Not to mention a ton of audio/video posts, and album/concert reviews. You can find all of her posts (as well as several posts from her team), on her profile.
To bring in the New Year, we asked Kass to put together her favourite videos of the year. After the jump link below you can find her Top 10 picks along with some honourable mentions. Check it out! [More]
Evil Ebenezer, Saukrates, Rich Kidd
KassKills' Top 10 Picks
10. PartyNextDoor – Recognize ft. Drake
While this video could have been a little better, there's no denying that 2014 was the year of PartyNextDoor. I knew I should have at lease one Drake affiliated video in the cut, so out of all video released this year, this is the one song that has been on repeat for me since it's release. His lack of videos only leave fans thirsty for more in 2015. Well played, Party.
9. Saukrates – The Big Bang
From the critically acclaimed EP Amani by Saukrates, "The Big Bang" was not only one of the best Canadian videos of 2014, but it comes from one of the best releases as well. Don't you hate it when your former rap hero tries to come back and it's just so-so? Not the case here. Big Soxx is back with a bang…literally.
8. Seth Kay – Direction
Not your typical rap video, it's more of a short film with a "To be continued…" ending. Directed by Richie McFly, it's a dark story of an encounter with a femme fatale. We need more Seth Kay's in the rap game. This kid is too on point.
7. Def3 – Catalina Wine Mixer ft. Kay the Aquanaut
For obvious reasons, this release by Def3 is one of my favs of 2014. A Step Brothers themed video done proper with direction by Stuey Kubrick. Enough said.
6. k-os – WiLD4TheNight (EgoLand)
I love to see k-os on his grind. This video was filmed during Carnival in Trinidad so it's got that extra bit of visual stimulation. The shots are incredible; from the costumes to the local cameos…it's all quite stunning. And k-os is as on-point as ever so there's no disappointment there.
5. Jazz Cartier – Set Fire
While I'm not super ingrained into the scene out in The Six, it's obvious that Jazz Cartier of Get Home Safe is about to make huge waves. "Set Fire" has all the elements of a classic rap video: strobe lit solo shots, clique in the staircase and fine females in body paint. All around winning.
4. Matt Brevner – Pride ft. Stevie Ross
Whoa. Matt Brevner and Stevie Ross came up with a really creative concept on this one that sets them apart from the rest. It's dark and eerie and brings up some emotions while watching it in it's entirety. Extra points for being one of a kind, but this song also kills it. Stevie on the hook leaves the feeling of wanting more. I'm excited for b-sharp in 2015.
3. Evil Ebenezer – Be Somebody ft. Snak The Ripper
I wanted to choose a video that embodied the whole Stompdown Killaz vibe. With Stuey Kubrick on the video, how can you go wrong? Evil happens to be one of my fav Killaz and with the addition of Snak and the rest of SDK, it was a no-brainer. The track is actually quite uplifting too, which gives it a higher rating on my list.
2. Rich Kidd – Brick ft. Gudini (aka Davinci)
If Rich Kidd hasn't been on your radar this year, you must be living under a rock. Even Nunavut – where the video was filmed while he was in town for Noisey's Tripping Out series – knows what's good. The crispy white landscape makes for an extraordinary rap video background…and that's why it's so dope. Plus Rich Kidd is hotter than a Canada Goose in July.
1. Red Gold and Green Machine – The Look Of Love
This video comes from Vancouver soul-singer Tonye Aganaba and her L.A rap counter-part Dr. Oop. Tonye happens to be one of the most talented singers in Vancity and as soon as she put out her hip-hop project Planet Africa, that was a wrap for the rest of 2014. She easily takes the cake for best video and song out of Vancouver, and as far as I'm concerned, all of Canada. Next to blow? Yup. Watch out for this babe.
Honorable Mentions
LNDN DRGS – Harvey Keitel
An unexpected dope project from Vancouver's Jay Worthy and Sean House. I love the whole vibe of this one.
Northwest Division – Women With Tattoos
NWD killed the Vancouver scene in 2014. These are some seriously dope visuals and not just because I make a cameo.
KAi Sky Walker – Martyr
KAi is one of the most under praised in Vancity. With visuals by Mista Hindz, this is an all around exceptional production.

There are three considerations when creating the ultimate picnic basket. Firstly, make sure it is the right basket or cooler for your purpose. Secondly – contents – do you have everything you will need? Thirdly – the food…I can't help you there but do visit a great site at That's My Home, http://www.thatsmyhome.com/mainstreet/picnic/index.htm for the newest picnic basket recipes for picnicking and tailgating.
Let's start with your basket/cooler. Do match the size of your container with the amount of your contents – don't lug around an enormous cooler for a couple of sandwiches and a few drinks. Use any basket, strong tote, cooler or the like. Rectangular will always fit better. I prefer the cooler style; hard-sided or soft-sided, as they will help to insulate your food and keep it cool. Hard-sided can double as a small table or a seat at your picnic site while soft-sided ones can usually fold into a smaller size once back home for storage. Consider how far you will have to carry the basket – are you hiking? Is it a long way? If you are traveling first or have quite a distance, do consider a cooler bag style over the traditional picnic basket. Cooler bags now come in back pack format, with great shoulder straps, and my favourite…with wheels!
Now, what to put in it…before you consider the food – let's make sure you have everything else you need. Start with a tablecloth: the best bet is a plastic-coated tablecloth that can take the spills and be thrown in the wash. It should be big enough to comfortably hold all the food, containers and workspace and at least some sitting space. There is something special though about a heavy cotton tablecloth and as long as you are an expert at stain removal – go for it. Your tablecloth may have matching napkins or be sure to tuck in some paper ones. There are typically two approaches to the rest of the contents – are you trying to be 'green'? If so – bring items that can all be returned home, washed and repacked for next time. If not – bring paper plates and other items that can be disposed of at the picnic site or the next nearest refuse container.
Most picnic baskets today come with a compliment of plates, cups/glasses, knives and forks, etc. If you have a basket without contents or have the 'cooler style' that comes without, take a shopping trip and pick up your picnic tableware. Stay away from breakable glass and china. I highly recommend Corel brand dishes – they are unbreakable 'china' with a great look and nice designs without the risk of breakage. Same goes for hard plastic glasses and cups. For cutlery, my preference is washable plastic – but choose what you like since you will be the one using it.
Years of picnicking at the ski club have helped me accumulate quite a collection of picnic basket 'must have's'. These are the items that even the best-healed picnic baskets often come without. Knives – do include a cheese knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife. A small breadboard is also extremely useful. Include a salt and pepper set – Tupperware type brands have some with plastic lids so they don't shake out all over the inside of your basket. And, of course include a corkscrew and a bottle stopper. Now for the unconventional – do include a pair of scissors, a flat pack of wet-wipes and a pen or Sharpie marker with a pad of paper…you just never know.
If you are going to be taking something that needs to stay hot or cold – do consider a stainless steel thermos – nothing works as well. They will generally keep food hot for up to 5 hours and cold for up to 7 hours.
Lastly, for convenience, do bring extra Tupperware containers for your leftovers, perhaps even a few zip-lock bags. Also bring a couple of grocery style plastic bags – use one for your dirty dishes, and one for your garbage – it can be tied up and kept in your bag until you are back to civilization.
Depending where you are going, do bring along a picnic blanket – although ideally it can attach to the outside of the basket.
If you are considering soft-sided cooler bags, do consider the brand carried by Thornbury Trading Company. There are many sizes and shapes available but my picks are the Scugog – which has an 18 can capacity – actually perfect for lunch for 2-4 and includes two drink holders in its lid. It is oval in shape and has a very comfortable shoulder strap. Planning a bigger lunch…a day at the beach…or more people – then you need the Cooler Bag on wheels. Seemingly huge with a 54-can capacity – this is the one I use at the ski club. It is perfect for lunch for 4-6 plus…snacks…extra drinks…extra clothes…etc. It even has a net cargo bag that comes out of the top and attaches to the handle – perfect for beach towels, extra clothes, or a picnic blanket.

This costs hearing followed a successful negligence claim by the Sugar Hut Group (Sugar Hut) against their insurance broker, AJ Insurance, for business interruption (BI) losses that Sugar Hut failed to recover from insurers. One issue debated at the hearing was the impact of an offer compliant with Part 36 of the CPR (a Part 36 offer) by AJ Insurance for £250,000 (which was based on a figure for lost profit of £600,000).
Eder J accepted that, as AJ Insurance's Part 36 offer did not "beat" Sugar Hut's award at trial, the automatic cost consequences in favour of AJ Insurance did not apply. However, Eder J did consider it was open to the Court to assess all the circumstances including the conduct of all the parties (CPR 44.2(4)(a)) and whether it was reasonable for a party to pursue or contest a particular allegation or issue (CPR 44.2(5)(b)).
Eder J considered it was unreasonable for Sugar Hut to pursue an amount for loss of profit higher than the figure the Part 36 offer was based on, and denied that his decision would support or reintroduce the "near-miss" principle by "the back door". Ramsey J warned against its application in Hammersmatch Properties (Welwyn) Ltd v Saint Gobain Ceramics & Plastics Ltd1 where the Claimant failed to successfully argue that as their Part 36 offer nearly beat the amount awarded to the Defendant, it was appropriate to penalise the Defendant on costs. Eder J considered that his decision had distinguishable features from Hammersmatch, and would not reintroduce the principle as it was not based on a "near-miss" analysis, nor did it speculate on the negotiations which were clear from the correspondence. Instead, it was based on the fact that Sugar Hut had unreasonably insisted on a higher figure for BI losses (in response to the Part 36 offer).
In considering the "unreasonableness", he noted (i) the case was "a paradigm example" of one where the overall claim and certain individual components were exaggerated, (ii) Sugar Hut's approach to disclosure was slow and on a piecemeal basis causing AJ Insurance difficulties in protecting its position, and (iii) BI profits were the main issue that divided the parties. For these reasons, AJ Insurance was awarded costs from 21 days after the Part 36 offer on a standard basis.
This Judgment is an important example of how other factors, including Part 36 offers and negotiations, can be taken into account by the Court when considering the conduct of the parties when using their discretion to decide on the costs award.
A copy of the judgment can be found here: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Comm/2014/3775.html.

Complaint Review: Dish Network

United States of America

- Category: Satellite Companies
Dish Network Worst Customer Service Ever - Stay Clear Internet
Do you see the sentence above?
We paid for service from this company for years. When we started losing their programming, saved movies we recorded and then called them to complain about it more than once, they turned it around like we did something wrong when it was their equipment that went bad and they sent out new equipment to prove it. This company writes really great company standards that they publish on their web site because it sounds good and may draw in other suckers, but if you are smart and read the 1169 other complaints on Ripoff Report .com, you will clearly see they don't know the first thing about customer service.
When we canceled and went with Direct TV, what a difference folks. Much better programming, can search by title, category etc, and boy what a difference in the customer service. Here's where you can really turn the tide in your favor when dealing with this con game.
When they send you the return shipping boxes and return post paid labels, they will tell you, you are responsible for paying for the shipping. They will tell you it's in your signed contract and that it is for insurance on the return of their equipment, even if it doesn't work anymore. They will argue with you, even send you up to higher levels in the company who also say the same thing.
Problem is, when you ask for a copy of your "signed contract" they will tell you they will put in a request for it and that takes 10 days to 14 days as it is off site somewhere. They can't tell you where it is. Weeks and weeks will go by and when you call back over and over telling them you still have not received a copy they keep telling you to go out online and look at the contract on their web site. Folks, this is a scam by Dish Network. They can't produce a copy of your signed contract and since they cannot prove you agreed in writing to pay for the return of their equipment, you are not obligated to pay for it. We sent it back in the prepaid boxes just to get rid of the junk and outdated equipment so don't let them pull this one on you.
When we called back after 6 weeks of waiting, the last person, Adrian Estrada, at the executive offices of Dish Network ph: 720-514-8550 Ext. 80524 told us, it says right here in the notes "they cannot find a copy of your signed contract and as such, do not re-contract the customer." If they cannot provide you with a signed copy, don't let them harass you into thinking you have to pay to return their equipment. When they send you the pre-paid boxes, just send the junk back and leave it at that. If their collectors try to collect (harass) you, record the conversation and demand a signed copy of your contract that says you have to pay to return their equipment, it doesn't exist. That will shut them up.
Good luck.

Fans Of The Veres
Fans Veres almost suited mob killings over the referee after the match of the championship of Ukraine in the second League.
The Central match of the 21st round of the second League of the championship of Ukraine, where Veres Rivne took ear (2:3), ended with a scandal.
After the match, the fans were dissatisfied with the work of an arbitrator who has appointed two penalties in gate of the Veres. In the end, immediately after the final whistle the fans of the hosts tried to break through to podtribunnogo premises, to arrange the massacre of arbitrators. Law enforcement even had to use pepper spray to calm a aggressive viewers.
"We live in Ukraine, began the second round where football is relegated to another plan. Appear refereeing and other undercurrents. Zozulya breaking the nose and not even a yellow card, although there is pure red. Then we have the defender made a mistake, but it is… Although, playing at home, we got two penalties, and this despite the fact that all the fouls our way. See, we want to see. Believe me, this is just the beginning," – said at the postgame press conference, the coach Veres Mr Maziar.

All posts in the "Video" category.
All posts in the "Video" category.
Finally got the videos from our February concert at the Aratani Theater with Kaoru Watanabe and Sumie Kaneko uploaded!
Ian has added two more videos from the Taiko Heroes concert! The first is an On Ensemble standard, "After Rain". I'm praying for rain right now as I listen to it.
The second, "June", is by our own Eien Hunter-Ishikawa. Eien is a great musician and has added so much depth to the music. Over the past couple of years, I've gotten to know Eien well and he's just an overall amazing dude. He teaches us the many ways of beer, food/cooking, and life. Oh yeah… and music too… =) he's pretty good at that. Abe absolutely kills it at the end. How do you do that??? These two dudes are amazing.
Enjoy the videos!
Hi all. A new video has been posted from the Taiko Heroes concert series! Lion Chant, composed by Shoji. I'd like to personally thank my childhood best friend, Ian Mora, who filmed and put these videos together. Ian and I were such good friends in elementary school that I think we became a nuisance to our teachers and we were never in the same class after fourth grade. Ian was always naturally talented for everything he did and film was always one of his loves. We made all sorts of stupid home videos when we were young that were quite awesome, if I must say. Ian is a much better actor than I am, but he always had to direct the videos, so I was often the main actor with our other bad actor friends. So embarrassing! From Kung Fu videos to claymation, we had a great time. Ian was also in Shasta Taiko and we were also in a rock band together called "King Gorira". If we didn't have those things growing up, we would have gotten in all sorts of trouble!
You can learn Lion Chant at kaDON with online courses from the creator himself. There are other lessons you can take from Shoji, Kenny Endo, and Kaoru Watanabe.
Stay tuned for more videos!

Dance to Health
Photography: Adam Holloway
Dance to Health, Phase 1 National Roll-out 2017 to 2019
AESOP have secured a £2.3m investment to establsh Phase 1 of a national roll-out programme. Following a successful pilot project in 2015/16 where Cheshire Dance was one of 3 founding Dance Partners, it is intended that Cheshire Dance will deliver 6 Improvement Programmes across Cheshire West as part of Phase 1, that transition into 3 groups of older dancers as part of an ongoing maintenance programme. Phase 1 is Cheshire will be delivered in partnership with Cheshire West and Chester Council's Public Health team.
Dance to Health is a ground-breaking project and we don't say that lightly. Read on to find out why....
Dance to Health responds to the issue of older people's falls. Falls are traumatic for older people and cost the NHS £2.3 billion per year. On top of this current falls prevention exercise programmes face challenges: patchy provision; older people's low take-up and adherence; the lack of maintenance classes which means that gains are lost and investment is wasted; a minority of current services are evidence-based and last the required six months.
Dance to Health incorporates two evidence-based falls prevention methodologies, Otago and FaME, (which reduce falls by up to 55%) into high quality dance sessions. It has been shown to be an effective, cost-effective and enjoyable means to reduce older people's falls.
Dance to Health is a national partnership, initiated by AE-SOP with dance partners accross the country. For the pilot Cheshire Dance collaborated with East London Dance and Southeast Dance. For Phase 1, Cheshire Dance will be joined again by Southeast Dance, alongside Yorkshire Dance, National Dance Company Wales, Birmingham Royal Ballet, The Point (Eastleigh) and Dance East. The programme is supported by Later Life Training (FAME and Otago specialists) and a number of national Dialogue Partners
What the participants from the Dance to Health Pilot are saying about the sessions:
"it loosens me up"
"my hips feel better after moving"
"it's really good for my balance"
"when I arrive I have so many things going through my head and when I leave they have all disappeared. It's so uplifting"
" I have noticed I am finding it easier to get out of my chair at home and I care about that, it's those things that make a difference"
Successful Pilot
Cheshire Dance delivered two pilots led by fully trained artists Jan Halloran, Rosalind Holgate Smith and Bettina Carpi, alongside four other pilots elsewhere in the country. Supporting partners in Cheshire included AGE UK Cheshire, Cheshire West and Cheshire Council and Wulvern Housing. Pilots involved a minimum of 50 hours of facilitated creative dance activity with an embedded FAME/Otago physio programme.
Dance to Health pilot phase (Summer 2015 to Spring 2016) was supported financially by Arts Council England, City Bridge Trust, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, Guy's and St Thomas' Charity and Peter Sowerby Charitable Foundation.
Dance to Health is being developed by AE-SOP as a sustainable social enterprise. Sidney de Haan will evaluate the process, quality assurance, health/artistic/ social outcomes, alongside studying the health economics, social enterprise modelling and development. Health investment is required for the six month programmes and the early stages of the maintenance programmes. Later, the maintenance programmes will become self-sustaining.
"Very beneficial. Getting out of and back down to my chair is easier and I do it properly."
"I can now crawl with my grandchild."
"I feel stronger."
"I'm walking taller."
"My son has noticed I am telling him what I have done in the dance sessions."
(Deva Point participants, Dance to Health, AE-SOP)
"I tell everyone that my dancing is helping me and I practice at home. You don't make me feel scared to ask for help and you say I can never get it wrong. I don't remember everything anymore but it's ok because I don't have to when I'm dancing. I just enjoy it – it's a god save. I don't feel alone anymore...dancing has given me my confidence back."
(An older dancer, living with Alzheimers, In THIS Moment, Baring Fdn)

The Demand for Health Care Services in Rural Tanzania
This paper examines the pattern of health care demand in rural Tanzania. We distinguish between hospital and clinic-based care, in both the public and private sector using a two-level nested multinomial logit model. Own price elasticities of demand for all health care options are high, although less so for public clinics and dispensaries than other choices. However, there is a high degree of substitution between public and private care. Consequently, price increases or user fees will result in small percentage of people opting for self-treatment. Another important contribution of this paper is that the quality of medical care has large effects on health demand. This applies to the quality and availability of doctors/nurses, drugs and the clinic environment. Copyright 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
