Killing of
John Nunn
in 1902
Lincoln Sentinel
, Dec. 4, 1902
"A Terrible Tragedy"
"David Shirk Shot and Killed His Father-In-Law, John Nunn"
About three oĺclock Thanksgiving afternoon, John Nunn was shot five times and almost instantly killed by his son-in-law, David Shirk, as the result of a quarrel.
The shooting occurred in an alley adjoining Mohrĺs stock barn. Shirk and his wife had been there for dinner and the two men got into a scuffle a short time after. Shirk knocking Nunn down and then running out of the house. Nunn got up and followed him, and when out in the alley Shirk drew a .32 caliber revolver and commenced firing, emptying the six chambers. Nunn ran back around the corner of the barn and fell a few feet from the fence west of Mohrĺs barn.
Alvay McKay arrived within about half a minute of the shooting, and Nunn showed but faint signs of life then, and was dead before carried into the house a minute or two later.
At the coronerĺs inquest held Friday behind closed doors, Dr. Hultner testified as to the wounds, which were five in number, one entering to the left of the heart and just a little below, and the others all entering from behind. Two wounds, the one from in front near the heart and one between the shoulders in the back, would probably have been fatal.
Mrs. Nunn, wife of the deceased, testified that there had been trouble for some time between her husband and Shirk. She scarcely knew how the trouble started, she being too badly frightened to notice. Shirk got her husband on the floor, and then ran out while Nunn got up and followed. She ran after trying to stop him but when they were out in the alley Shirk began to fire, and she ran. She testified that Shirk followed and kept firing.
A big crowd attended the preliminary hearing at the courthouse before Justice Norris yesterday. The defendant was ordered held without bail till the next term of court. The evidence was introduced by the prosecution and consisted of the examination of a number of witnesses. Shirk pled not guilty to premeditated murder. S.H. Brunt explained in detail the plot of the houses and grounds near the scene of the tragedy.
The testimony of the family as given at the preliminary was to the effect that Nunn came home after the rest had all eaten dinner, and told Shirk he wanted to speak to him after dinner about something he had heard some men say uptown. Shirk told him to tell him then, and walking over took hold of his shoulder. Nunn was sitting down at the time but rose up and they clinched. The family tried to separate them but failed.
Mrs. Nunn ran out too soon to see the last of the struggle in the house. Letta, one of the 14-year-old twins, testified she saw Shirk strike her father several times and knock him down. Shirk then ran out and Nunn followed. She said Shirk told him to stay back, that he had enough; that he was not on his land. Nunn threw off his coat and Shirk his overcoat when they were outside. She said her father fell down twice as he ran out. She took Shirkĺs little boy around the house and did not see the shooting.
Letta testified that she was close to her father in the alley when the shots were fired. At the first shot Nunn stopped and then started on till the second shot when he turned, walking rather than running back up the alley, Shirk following and continued shooting. Nunn ran around the corner of Mohrĺs barn and fell dead.
The revolver, a 32-caliber Harrington and Richardson, was introduced as evidence. W.D. Brumbaugh testified that Shirk gave himself up without any resistance. The revolver was loaded when handed over to him.
The defense introduced no evidence but makes the claim of self-defense.
In justice to both sides it should be remembered that many facts connected with the case have not yet been brought out, and the defendant should neither be condemned nor excused in public opinion until the entire evidence is in.
It is a terrible affair, and one which cannot but result in untold misery to the families of both men. The complete facts of the case will not be brought out until the trial in the February term of court when the defense will give evidence which may throw new light on many things which are now obscure.

Claire Danes' (Sobering) Chabad Memories
Chabad Lubavitch is famous for their willingness to open their homes to Jews and non-Jews, including the goyische celebrities, such as Jon Voigt, who appear on Chabad's West Coast telethon to cheerlead for the group. Sometimes, though, the encounters produce a more nuanced response — as is evident in actress Clare Danes' memory of a Chabad Lubavitch wedding she attended in Brooklyn.
Boteach Unloads on Chabad
Television host, sex columnist and Orthodox rabbi Shmuley Boteach is no stranger to controversy, but this week he added his voice to a growing chorus of Orthodox Jews who believe that their religious community has to take a look in the mirror in the wake of the New Jersey money-laundering scandal. In an article in the Jerusalem Post, he writes:
We Orthodox have no one but ourselves to blame. We are often "religious" without being spiritual, prayerful without being humble and ritually precise without displaying the same punctiliousness in business.
Why Is a Chabad Rabbi Advocating Violence?
I was pleased to see Manis Friedman representing the Chabad point of view in the "Ask the Rabbis" section of the current issue of Moment magazine – that is, until I read what he actually said to the question of how should Jews treat their Arab neighbors?
The rabbi, whose work I enjoyed since reading one of the earliest books about modesty and human dignity, "Doesn't Anyone Blush Anymore: Reclaiming Modesty, Intimacy and Sexuality" in 1990, was the long-time dean of Bais Chana, a center for women's learning in Minneapolis.
Yid Vid: Frum Rappers Put Aside Differences, Provoke Dismay
First Y-Love and Shneur Hasofer, a.k.a. DeScribe, collaborated on "Change" — a rockin' track on the Modular Moods/Shemspeed label. Black, white, left, right, United States, Australia, all put aside to "uplift the mundane" in the name of Hashem.
Chabad in Trouble?
Writing in The Jerusalem Post, former Chabad emissary turned media personality Rabbi Shmuley Boteach expresses concern for the current state of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement:
Chabad is by now the most effective Jewish educational organization in history, and no movement works harder for the Jewish people or caters to more unaffiliated Jews. But success has brought the usual challenges. Chabad emissaries are becoming more ego-driven and territorial, too often bickering with one another. A seemingly incessant spate of court battles should serve as a wake-up call. In Crown Heights, the official Chabad leadership seems engaged in permanent litigation with — mostly — Chabad messianic forces, for the soul of Lubavitch. Nearly all of it takes place in mainstream rather than Jewish courts, making them highly public affairs. In London, an ugly public battle ousted one of the heads of Chabad UK of the past half-century. Sydney, Australia witnessed another ugly public battle for the control of Chabad institutions. These are just a few examples. The press has reported on many more in places as far away as Russia, Ukraine and Israel.

Who is going to set the over/under on how many MONTHS it will take Baron Davis to reach 300 lbs after he quits playing?
He's battled weight problems his entire career and there were rumors he weighed as high as 260 last off-season. Surely with no playing and training camps to work himself into shape every year, he is going to really let himself go. If you thought Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson got fat, wait till we see Baron Davis one year into retirement.

Just a heads up that West Mercia/Warwickshire have got the waiting time down from 9 months in December for a SGC or FAC to just two months now.

PICKENS COUNTY — The Pickens County Museum of Art & History is inviting artists to submit work to be considered for inclusion in the upcoming "Artists Color the Music" exhibit, being held in conjunction with the Greater Clemson Music Festival, formerly Clemson Blues Festival.
Submissions are open to all artists living in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia working in any of the plastic media (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.). No photography will be considered. Submission is free but delivery and pick-up of accepted work is the responsibility of the artist.
All entries should fall within the theme of "Influence of the Blues," whatever your interpretation of that may be.
The Greater Clemson Music Festival, which will be held April 15 through April 23, will showcase exceptional Jazz, Rock, Reggae, Gospel and Roots artists at various venues throughout Clemson and surrounding areas.
The inspiration for the festival comes from the history of the Littlejohn's Grill, an African American nightclub (1945-1968). Located along a music corridor once known as the "chitlin' circuit," the Grill hosted scores of major Blues, R&B and Jazz musicians.
Send images for consideration to email@example.com. Interested artists should submit one or two images in a JPG format no more than 1 MB in overall size. Be sure to include your name, address and telephone number along with each work's title, medium and framed/display size.
Works can be digitally submitted until Jan. 31, 2016. Artists will be notified Feb. 5 f their work was or was not selected for the final exhibit. Works selected will be delivered to the Pickens County Museum of Art & History from March 26 to April 2, 2016.
The final exhibition will open April 5 and a reception will be held April 23. The exhibit will remain on display until May 28.

ATLANTA -- It appears Monday morning commuters might be able to hit the snooze button one more time before heading out the door to MARTA.
The transit authority announced Friday that it plans to expand the parking lots at five high-traffic stations, adding nearly 1,200 new parking spaces.
Ridership has been up nearly 20 percent in the last week, according to MARTA, after a piece of I-85 fell to the ground during a massive fire under the interstate bridge. But the increase in passengers has led to limited parking at some end-of-the-line stations, adding to an already stressful commute for drivers.
RELATED | Will MARTA be savior from I-85 collapse chaos?
City officials anticipate that drive will be even worse, come Monday morning, thanks to many metro area school districts being back in session after Spring Break.
"Next week will serve as a clear test as we welcome back many of our regular customers as well as many first-time MARTA riders," said MARTA General Manager and CEO Keith T. Parker.
GUIDE | How do I get around on MARTA?
To help, the following MARTA stations will all offer additional parking spaces for morning commuters beginning April 10:
- Chamblee -- 75 addittional spaces
- King Memorial -- 400 additional spaces
- Brookhaven/Oglethorpe -- 175 additional spaces
- Kensington -- 385 additional spaces
- East Point -- 168 additional spaces
Spokesperson for MARTA said the spaces will be in lots adjacent to existing ones, and transit representatives will be on hand to help direct drivers where they need to go.
MARTA also pointed out more "underutilized" lots and decks where riders can park, including the Lenox Station Garage, Lindbergh Center, Lakewood/Ft. McPherson east lots, and their park-and-ride lots at Barge Road, Masell Road, South Fulton and Windward Parkway.
MARTA said they also will make plans to make the "necessary adjustments to meet the demands" and increase police and security presence.
"We look forward to rising to the occasion as we remain committed to providing safe, cost-efficient transportation," Parker said.
In addition, MARTA will be rolling out a tracking site for real-time parking information, Monday morning. The data will track 10 of the busiest parking lots from 6 to 10 a.m., including the North Springs, Sandy Springs and College Park lots.

There are so many things to do: tennis, crate climbing, indoor hockey, swimming and something called 'Leap of Faith' which involves climbing a long pole and at the top, you jump off a trapeze then you jump to the ground - I can't wait to go back next year! Bonnie, aged 9 I had a great time, my favourite thing is crate climbing and my favourite instructor is George!

Tons of damage build

Some life steal after selling Doran's
Finishing for 100% crit
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Who am I?
Hi summoners, i'm Cava753, but you can call me only Cava. I'm from Italy and i play on the EUW server. I'm not a high elo player because i don't play much ranked, i just play a lot of normals with my friends, so if you want to play some normals with me, add me in your friendlist! :)
Why am I writing this guide?
I'm writing this guide because i like how vayne is fun and satisfing to play. After lot of games with a standard build vayne, i decided to try a 100% crit build just for fun, but after some modifications and mechanics adjustments thanks also to my friend SunkSquare I decided that this build should be known by a great number of summoners. (This build is still a work in progress, but you can already enjoy it).
Isn't this build a troll build?
NO, this isn't a troll build, this build really works good. Let me explain: with a IE first item you got 80 AD, 25 crit chance and 250% crit dmg. when you tumble (Q) your next AA will deal more damage, and this damage can crit, so with a Q then AA with crit you're able to deal about 600/700 dmg with only 1 hit.

Knowledge Bowl, Match 4: Hutchison Sting vs. Germantown Red Devils. Aired November 21st, 2009.
Hutchison (Red team):
Caroline, Senior
Amanda, Senior
Katherine, Senior
Claire, Junior
Alternate: Jasmine
Round One: Hutchison 50, Germantown 60
Round Two: Hutchison 110, Germantown 165
Round Three (Lightning Round): Hutchison 30, Germantown 30
Final: Hutchison 190, Germantown 255
Note: I'm on massive deadlines for a couple publications I edit, Germantown magazine and MBQ (Knowledge Bowl isn't my only day job, you know), so this week's recap's going to be a little bit shorter — sweeter, I say — than usual and I'm also punting hard-core statistics for another week. I'll make up for it word-count overload in a future post, I assure you.
The Game:
Like last week, we once again have an instance where the score was closer than it would've been because of missed bonus questions. I'm starting to think capitalizing on bonus questions is the most important facet of Knowledge Bowl victory. I'll see what weighting statistics toward that hypothesis means for player ratings next week.
After round one, Hutchison was down by only 10, despite only getting 3 toss-ups correct versus 6 for Germantown. Round two saw the bonus-question-accuracy tilt in Germantown's favor, as they got 5 of 7 bonuses correct in the second frame. Germantown entered the Lightning Round with a 65-point edge and played Hutchison to a draw in the third round to secure the victory.
Just the other night, a tidbit in the New Yorker about Harper Simon's self-titled debut caught my eye — mainly because the album was recorded with American Studios session alums Gene Chrisman and Mike Leech. What slipped my attention was the news that Simon was performing at the Hi-Tone Cafe tonight, after a month-long residency at Los Angeles' famed Largo nightclub.
The son of the iconic Paul Simon (and the subject matter of tunes such as "St. Judy's Comet" and, yes, "Graceland"), Harper updates Sweethearts of the Rodeo-era Byrds and Dylan's Nashville oeuvre with the help of legendary producer Bob Johnston, who manned the control board for Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, Nashville Skyline, Blonde on Blonde and John Wesley Harding; the Man in Black's Hello, I'm Johnny Cash; Leonard Cohen's Songs From a Room; and Simon & Garfunkel's Sounds of Silence, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, and Bookends.
Knowledge Bowl, Match 3: Marion Patriots vs. First Assembly Christian School Crusaders. Aired November 14, 2009.
FACS (Blue Team):
Andrew (Captain), Freshman
Hannah, Junior
Zach, Junior
Megan, Senior
No alternate
Round One: Marion 55, FACS 80
Round Two: Marion 100, FACS 85
Round Three (Lightning Round): Marion 40, FACS 30
Tiebreaker: Marion 0, FACS 10
Final: Marion 195, FACS 205
Marion? Huh? According to the taping and broadcast schedules on the official Knowledge Bowl website, Match 3 was set to be FACS vs. Wooddale. For some reason, the team from Marion High School in Arkansas played against FACS. I can currently give no explanation. (Marion didn't appear elsewhere in the tournament either, so I'm going to chalk it up to Wooddale being unable to play for some reason and Marion being the first alternate to fill in.)
The Game: The early moments of the game provided an answer for a hypothetical future KB FAQ. Marion rang in early and missed a question before they actually had any points, ostensibly accruing a five-point penalty. The scoreboard doesn't tally negative points, so Marion had an understood -5 score.
This was confirmed after Marion's first correct answer (Nicole: "Civil War"), when the scorekeeper posted Marion's first sum as 5 instead of 10.
Round one was tighter than it should've been. Marion only answered two toss-ups correctly, but they did get the two bonuses. FACS, though it got 6 toss-ups correct, only cashed in on one bonus question.
The end of Round Two saw Marion within 10, setting up a tense finale. The Lightning Round was thrilling as promised, with Marion tying it up with 4 correct answers to FACS' 3.
Host Jim Jaggers, unaware of the tie, was about to go to commercial when someone off-camera shouted, "No no no no no! Tiebreaker."
After Midtown label Goner Records dropped the King Khan & BBQ Show's self-titled debut album five years ago, plenty of locals jumped on board the party wagon helmed by this Berlin-meets-Montreal duo, currently in the midst of a relentless tour promoting the release of Invisible Girl, just released on In the Red Records.
Sure, King Khan and BBQ's pastiche of Little Richard-inspired falsetto runs anchored with punk rock sing-along choruses makes for a great reason to get out of the house tonight. However, my money's on tour openers Those Darlins, who came from nowhere (okay, Murfreesboro) and have recently exploded on the national scene, thanks to scorching appearances at the Scion Garage Fest and at SXSW and rave write-ups in Paste, the New Yorker and even Oprah Magazine. No strangers to Memphis, Jessi, Kelley and Nikki Darlin have volunteered their efforts for the Delta Girls Rock Camp and played countless gigs in town, most recently with the Magic Kids last April.
Rude, raucous and brilliant, off-the-cuff musicians, Those Darlins are the aural equivalent of the babysitter you wish you had when you were twelve — willing to teach you how to smoke, cuss and kiss, before loading you up on ice cream and shots of your folks' whiskey.
Download "Wild One," from their self-titled debut, here.
And don't miss tonight's show at the Hi-Tone. Admission is $10 and doors open at 9 p.m.
Knowledge Bowl, Match 2: Bartlett Panthers vs. West Memphis Christian Black Knights. Aired November 7th, 2009.
West Memphis Christian:
Timothy (Captain), Senior
Braden, Senior
Shea, Junior
Michael, Junior
Alternate: Jonathan
Round One: Bartlett 130, WMC 30
Round Two: Bartlett 110, WMC 65
Round Three (Lightning Round): Bartlett: 10, WMC 10
Final: Bartlett 250, WMC 105
The Game: The only real tense moments in what was ultimately a pretty dominating game was about halfway through the second round. With the answer "Quadratic," by West Memphis Christian's Timothy, the Black Knights pulled the score to 130-100. Then Bartlett answered the next five correct toss-ups (and three bonuses) and put it out of reach for good.
Some might say there was a conspiracy afoot. West Memphis Christian reduces to WMC — the call letters for a TV rival to News Channel 3. Well, that was the kind of thing I thought about while scrawling out my voluminous notes for this first round match. I took two-and-a-half pages of notes, including every correct, incorrect, and bonus answer. I may not do that again, but I wasn't sure at the time what info I might need for promised statistics. (See more, below.)
And so it finally ends. Remind me to choose a smaller number the next time a decade ends. Coming up in a few weeks: The Decade in Film, a collective affair with a very different format.
I've listened to "Love And Theft" more in the last four months than I've listened to the supposedly sacred Time Out of Mind in the last four years. Casually profound and profoundly casual, this startling return to form reminds us that the key to Dylan's greatness has always lain less in the weighty pronouncements that got him dubbed the "Voice of a Generation" than in the warm, open tone of his music, the freeness of his vocals, and the consistent humor and wit of his lyrics. It is (Oh no! Here it comes!) his best record since Blood On the Tracks.
Song Sample: "Summer Days"
Oxford, Mississippi, bassist Laurie Stirratt, best known around these parts for her work with alt-country trailblazers the Hilltops and Blue Mountain, pictured above, is now cooking up a storm at Tallulah's Kitchen.
The New Orleans born, Mandeville-raised rocker-turned-chef is showing off her Louisiana roots via a rotating menu, which includes red beans and rice, chicken and sausage jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, and homemade Italian meatballs. The restaurant-within-a-restaurant — TK's shares a kitchen with Catfish One — is located at 2028 University Avenue, just a mile east of Oxford's town square.
Breaking into the Top 5 now, with only one more post to go. With albums 7-5 on the list and classic singles leaping from a couple of those albums, 2000 was a very good year.
I admire most of Harvey's albums, and all of them up to this point. But Stories from the City, Stories From the Sea is the only one I love — probably because it's so full of affection itself. After years of tormented, severe, magnificent English blues-rock of her own imagining, Harvey crossed the Atlantic and made her love album: A woozy, breezy, blushing but endlessly rocking romantic ramble through Manhattan and Brooklyn. In truth, I hadn't listened to it front-to-back in a few years before pulling it out during a summer vacation road trip this year. And I was taken aback at how gloriously well it had held up.
Song Sample: "You Said Something"
Further: Dan Aykroyd = Yogi. Anna Faris to play a documentary filmmaker. I smell Oscuster (an Oscar-winning box-office blockbuster).
No word yet if the script will have Boo Boo bringing pic-a-nic baskets back.
Like his former cohort Judy Peiser, with whom he co-founded the Center for Southern Folklore, Ferris understands how to be a true folklorist: He disappears into the background and, with tape recorder and camera, documents his subjects in their natural light.
In this week's issue of the Flyer, Leonard Gill reviews Ferris' newest book, Give My Poor Heart Ease. As Gill notes, the Mississippi-born Ferris, founder of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at Ole Miss and the former chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, who currently works at the Center for the Study of the American South at UNC, will return to his former stomping grounds — the Center for Southern Folklore — for a booksigning at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
The book's title comes from a 21-minute film produced by Yale University Media Design Studio with the Center for Southern Folklore back in 1975. (View it at Folkstreams.net.)
Meanwhile, the book itself is chock full of revelations, such as this first-person narrative from Otha Turner in his prime:
"I can dance. I can sing, ride horses, chop cotton and plow, whoop and holler, cut somersets, do all that stuff. I got two acres and two-tenths of land. I bought it. Scurrying hard, my labor paid for it. I paid one thousand for the land and 150 dollars for the house. Paid three hundred dollars to move the house. And I rent twelve acres and a half of cotton land."
The first of the final three posts.
Sri Lankan-born world citizen M.I.A. mashes up Western pop (Modern Lovers, Pixies, Duran Duran) with Third World rhythms on this follow-up to her ecstatic debut Arular. Where the earlier record was an intensely pleasurable, beatwise brass-ring grab, Kala is a more rattled, woozy sonic miasma. Fantasizing about a Third World stick-up of First World wealth as she demands (or does she?) that soulja boys the world over toss away their guns; losing her mind in the midst of putting "people on the map who never seen a map"; falling in love on a Darfur tour, rapping joyfully with Aborigine kids: No album this year took in more of the world or did so with such a playful, disorienting rush of ideas.
Song Sample: "World Town"
Goner Records' Alley Party, rescheduled after a rainy October, is on for Barbaro Alley (Main Street between Union and Gayoso) at 5:30 p.m. today.
It's free, it's outdoors, and the current weather couldn't be better — plus, who hasn't missed the enigmatic Harlan T. Bobo, who spent the last several months in France, slinging ice cream and awaiting the birth of his firstborn son, Nino Bobo?
On a side note, if you haven't caught the Magic Kids yet, here's a perfect opportunity to do so. See why the rest of the world — including Red Kross genius Steven McDonald, who traveled to Gonerfest to see 'em, along with the powers-that-be at eMusic, Matador Records and U.K. label Stiff Records — is going bonkers for the Kids' Phil Spector-meets-punkish pop pastiche.
I've chosen to implement a completely different strategy for determining my Pearl Jam list than my last one, however. With U2, I listened to every album for a refresher and then made my list after the fact. For Pearl Jam, I have listened to each album, in order, and ranked each song as they played. (To wit: "Once" was number-one on my list until I listened to "Alive," and then it dropped to two, until I listened to "Why Go," when it dropped to three, and so on.)
Pearl Jam recently released a new album, Backspacer. I haven't listened to it yet, and it seemed mildly appropriate to work up a list based on everything that came before it. Consider this a snapshot of my Pearl Jam opinions the day before I buy their next.
A note about eligibility: Pearl Jam has something like an open-source relationship with their fans. They're prolific and they release scads of material in non-traditional formats such as fan-club extras, soundtracks, tributes, EPs, singles, official bootlegs, etc. In light of this, I created a list that assumed no studio Pearl Jam song was off-limits. That's not to say I've heard everything there is out there. But I made a fairly concerted effort to access as much as is commonly available. Many rarities were collected on the band's Lost Dogs two-disker, and I highly recommend it to anybody who's into Pearl Jam enough to still be reading the words I'm typing here.
I ruled ineligible all live versions, because I just ain't got that kind of time on my hands. This is Knowledge Bowl season, yaknow.
Pearl Jam Top 40 Songs:
With an unprecedented amount of concerts scheduled over the next four weeks, November is shaping up as Get Your Ass Off the Couch and Go Out Month. My bank account is already hurting just considering the expense, but check out these highlights from the calendar at the Hi-Tone Cafe:
On Thursday, Nov. 5th, a solo performance from Small Faces organist Ian McLagan, who, like Booker T. Jones, delivers soulful chords via a Hammond B3. On Saturday night, an appearance from R&B wildman Andre Williams (pictured above), who has somehow managed to outlive cohorts Ike Turner and Nathaniel Mayer. The return of Germany-Canada garage rock duo King Khan & BBQ on Nov. 10th. Japanese cuties Shonen Knife (Nov. 11th) and legendary New Zealanders the Axemen (Nov. 9th). The unlikely, yet oh-so-perfect pairing of Dexter Romweber and Charlie Louvin on Nov. 21st. And, last-but-not-least, homecoming gigs from the like of Harlan T. Bobo (Nov. 25th) and the Reigning Sound (Nov. 14th).
With upcoming Minglewood Hall dates by Neko Case, Son Volt, and Dan Auerbach (Nov. 4th, 17th, and 20th, respectively), this bests even the typical spring influx of touring acts heading to and from SXSW.
Indie Memphis describes the film:
In Bill Plympton's latest feature, Idiots & Angels, a selfish and morally bankrupt man, wakes up one morning with wings on his back. Even more troublesome than their embarrassing appearance is the wings' tendency to want to do good deeds. After much ridicule, he desperately tries to rid himself of the good wings, but eventually finds himself fighting those who view the wings as their ticket to fame and fortune. Is Angel's misguided soul capable of being rescued? Told through Plympton's trademark animation style Idiots and Angels is a dark comedy about a man's battle for his soul
The Idiots & Angels screening is at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Admission is $5 or free to Indie Memphis members or Memphis College of Art students. Plympton will conduct a Q&A after the screening.
Plympton will also lecture at the Memphis College of Art tomorrow night at 7 p.m. The lecture is free and open to the public and is being held at Callicott Auditorium.

Created in 1982 by legendary X=Men creators Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, the New Mutants are one of the most popular X-Men spinoff franchises. The idea was simple: to create a team of young X-Men-in-training, with a carefully-cultivated global appeal. Giving Marvel's best creators a chance to exercise their creativity to the max, the New Mutants' adventures took them everywhere from Immortal Asgard to the Hellish dimension known as Limbo.
The success of Deadpool has clearly woken Fox up to the fact that there's more to the #XMen franchise than just the tentpole films, and for months now we've been hearing news of a potential New Mutants movie. Recently, sources inside Fox gave ComingSoon.net some fascinating new insights, accompanied by a storyboard claiming to be from the film! I'd recommend taking these rumors with a pinch of salt, but the fact remains that they tally with what we've already been hearing. You can check out the storyboard below, and scoop the new details after the jump!
New Mutants Scheduled for March 2nd, 2018
New Mutants has long been rumored to be starting production in early 2017, meaning we were expecting a 2018 release. ComingSoon.net's source confirms this, suggesting that it's scheduled for Spring 2018. Fox already has a date set aside for an as-yet-untitled X-Men movie in Spring 2018 — March 2nd. If ComingSoon.net is right, then this is the date we'd be expecting New Mutants to air.
The Roll Call Looks Certain
Back in October, we learned the likely stars of New Mutants:
- Cannonball — a Kentucky-born superhero whose power is to launch himself forward in flight, surrounded by an impenetrable blast field. He's often the team leader.
- Moonstar — a Cheyenne superhero who can generate illusions showing your greatest fears and desires.
- Wolfsbane — a Scottish mutant who can morph into the shape of a wolf.
- Sunspot — a Brazilian mutant who can absorb solar radiation, channeling it into superhuman strength and resistance to injury.
- Magik — a mutant sorceress who is linked with the demonic realm of Limbo.
- Warlock — an alien entity who allies with the New Mutants.
The animated storyboard leaked to ComingSoon.net shows four of those characters — Cannonball, Moonstar, Wolfsbane, and Magik. Interestingly enough, there may be one minor difference; in the comics, Wolfsbane can morph between a human and a werewolf-esque form. In the storyboard, she clearly looks like a werewolf, even though she's in a situation where she'd more naturally be human. It may be that Fox has switched up Wolfsbane's powers a little, as they've done the idea of morphing between a human and animalistic state with the X-Men's Beast.
Incidentally, that storyboard gives X-Men fans another reason for excitement; notice that Magik has a dragon on her shoulder? That little purple creature is actually Lockheed. In the comics, Lockheed is a young alien dragon most commonly associated with Kitty Pryde. It looks as though a version of Lockheed is making his way into the movies!
A word of caution, though; the direction of the film seems to be focused on the supernatural. I wouldn't be at all surprised if both Warlock and Lockheed are heavily-adapted, and have supernatural rather than extraterrestrial origins.
Casting Choices Confirmed
For months, we've been hearing consistent rumours that Fox is eyeing Maisie Williams (from Game of Thrones) as Wolfsbane — a choice that fans definitely approve of. What's more, another recurrent rumor is that Fox has approached Anya Taylor-Joy (of The Witch and Morgan) as Magik. ComingSoon.net's sources confirm that these two actresses are high up on Fox's wish-list, and add that Nat Wolff (from The Fault in Our Stars) is being considered for the role of Cannonball.
That said, in a recent interview with We Got This Covered Anya Taylor-Joy has indicated this isn't a done deal. She told them:
"Nothing is confirmed. It's definitely a world that I would like to be a part of. But nothing is real yet."
Fox Seems to Have Learned the Lessons of Deadpool
Compare Deadpool to the rest of Fox's X-Men films, and you're immediately struck by the fact that it has a totally different tone and style. With Deadpool, Fox allowed the creative team to do their own thing, to explore a whole new cinematic style, and to break away from the traditional look and feel of the X-Men film franchise.
It sounds as though Fox may have taken this lesson to heart, and are allowing New Mutants to blaze its own trail. The film is described as a "Stephen King meets John Hughes"-style horror movie, and ComingSoon.net even go so far as to imagine that the tone and style could be similar to Netflix's hit series Stranger Things.
Frankly, this approach makes perfect sense. I mean, the New Mutants include a literal mutant werewolf, a sorceress who's linked to a demon dimension, and a spiritual Cheyenne who manipulates your fears and desires. Even the acting choices suggest Fox is aiming to create something very different to the mainstream X-Men franchise — I mean, Anya Taylor-Joy alone is a lot more intense than anyone we've seen in an X-Men film so far!
The Villain Revealed?
The storyboard clearly displays the New Mutants in battle against a terrifying creature known as the Demon Bear, and many fans are assuming the Demon Bear is the main villain. It makes sense; in the comics, the Demon Bear is a major New Mutants villain. This mystical creature haunted the dreams of Dani Moonstar; it is an ancient enemy of the Cheyennes, and sought to destroy Dani. The storyboard shows a scene that's pretty clearly adapted straight from the pages of the New Mutants comics.
But here's the catch: the storyboard also includes dialogue in which Magik comments:
While I'm presuming this isn't final dialogue — it certainly looks a little, ah, 'rough-and-ready' — it suggests the New Mutants have just tangled with some very different creatures. In which case, the Demon Bear may be just another spirit creature serving another, more powerful, threat. I'll be very surprised if this storyboard turns out to have revealed the main villain.

- Meet The New Mutants: The Comic Book History of Magik!
In my view, these are very strong rumors; they dovetail perfectly with other sources, and the leaked storyboard looks fascinating. I'm honestly hoping that ComingSoon's report is correct, because if so, we're in for a very unusual X-Men film — one that explores the supernatural about as much as it does the concept of mutants. And personally, I think switching things up like that would be a very good call...
Do you think Demon Bear will be the main villain of 'New Mutants'?

The Last 10 Minutes of Being Twenty.
So I thought, instead of thinking about all the rough times I went through, I'd rather count down my nine favorite times this year :) So again, I'm sorry for all you guys to have to read these, I just kind of want to get it all down and reflect on them.
1. My trip to Miami with R.
This trip was like, so last minute. She invited me about a week and a half before spring break to go with she, her father, and his girlfriend to Miami to stay with her cousins who have a house in Coconut Grove. I didn't think my parents would say yes, but they did, and so after my flight being delayed, and having to catch a 6 a.m. flight (aka being to LaGuardia by 4 a.m.), I arrived in sunny and beautiful Miami.
It was one of the best times I've ever had in my life. We went out to dinner every night in fantastic restaurants (R's cousins actually drove their boat to dinner one night!), ate gelato every night, tanned by the pool, and shopped a LOT. Also, I want to live in Miami.
2. My birthday celebration with my family.
Unfortunately, last year my birthday fell on the Super Bowl, and my family always has an annual Super Bowl party at my house. But they still drove up to PA to spend my birthday with me, and take me to PF Chang's for lunch. It was just one of those times where we all joked around with each other, enjoyed delicious food, and just had a great time with each others company.
3. NYC for E's play
My bff from high school E goes to NYU in the drama program. She invited me to her very first play called Women of Manhattan, so I brought two friends from school home with me to go into the city for the day with my family, grab dinner and see the play. It was really fun to see E graduate from the high school plays she had been a part of to something a bit more real.
4. NYC Restaurant Week with mom and daddy.
Every year, New York City (and cities around the country) host restaurant week, where you can go to 5 star restaurants for a $35 prix fixe 3 course dinner.
This year, my family went every single day. We tried numerous restaurants, and visited some old favorites. On one warm summer afternoon, we ventured in to the city to head to Delmonico's, which is one of our favorites. It's an old steakhouse that has been around since the 1800's. The inside is really fun - it's all mahogany and has the appearance of one of those old gentlemen's clubs. And seriously, I'm not a huge red meat eater, but their steak is to DIE for!
Each time we went in, after dinner we headed to the West Village for some delicious Magnolia Bakery cupcakes (which are my addiction, as I've said before - if you get some, my favorite is the vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting).
It was another perfect, blissful evening with ideal weather and no conflict. Yay!
5. I became more domesticated (which was not really one specific day, but many).
This year I decided that I would indulge more in my love of cooking. I made goals and followed through, especially during the summer when I swore I would learn how to make crabcakes for my dad's birthday (they're his favorite). So when we went up to our house on the Cape, I banished my dad to the TV room (to his regret obviously), and got to work.
The more I've been cooking, the more confident I've become, and I'm enjoying it a lot more too!
Please excuse how disgusting I look in this picture. It was 100,000 degrees, and I had no makeup on. But the crabcakes were gooooood (and I don't even like seafood!).
6. Babysitting this summer (I know, lame).
I love kids, I really do. And this summer I was fortunate enough to babysit for a wonderful family who kind of adopted me as a surrogate family member. They wanted to know what was going on in my life, things about my family, and were kind enough to work around my schedule. It really was an awesome experience (and definitely reaffirmed the fact that I want to teach/have kids some day!).
7. Wildwood '08.
My dad's side of the family all went in on a fabulous Condo in Wildwood, NJ together. Every year since my Nanna died when I was three, we've headed down for family time. The tradition has grown less steady as we've all gotten older, and now we're lucky if we get down for a week, or even a weekend. My dad and I decided to head down without my mom and brother this year, to take advantage of the private beach our complex offers, as well as the four pools. It's also nice to just get away. It was an awesome time - it was just my dad, me, my Poppy (grandpa) and my Aunt Sue. We beached every day, laid out by the pool, went golfing one day, watched movies, and went out to fabulous dinners followed by ice cream at our favorite place.
I can't remember the last time I've had so much fun with my Poppy or my aunt.
8. Roommate Dinners.
My roommates and I vowed to spend quality time together more often, so we said that at least once a month we would go out to dinner - even if it was just to Applebees for half priced apps. One night, we ventured into Philly and headed to this fantastic restaurant called The Continental. It was just another one of those great times with friends, and lots of memories.
9. Halloween '08.
Well, at around 7 p.m. on Halloween, when we all realized we had nothing to do, we decided to go trick or treating. This was quite the project since on my friend J actually had a costume (a guido, in case you can't quite tell what he is...), and we all had to pull from our closets to find things to wear. We decided on two Catholic school girls (since we had 2 plaid dresses and ribbons for hair), a hippie, a priest and a kitty cat (though he wanted to be a tiger). We headed out and met all the creepers in town (after wrongly guessing that C and I were Scottish dancing girls (?) and hearing we were in fact Catholic school girls, one very old man said "Oh, I've seen you girls in a video before"). We ended the night with a massive candy trading session, elementary school style. God, I'm cringing with how lame we are, I really am.
Now that I look at this, I sound unbelievably lame. Most of my memories involve food in some way! :)
When I first started this blog, I was so nervous - I didn't think anyone would want to read what I had to say, or give me the time of day. But then starting with Jocelyn, Amy and Tom, and then spreading to the rest of you darlings, you really make me so happy! I appreciate all your comments and feedback so much, and every day I can't wait to see what you have all said on your blogs as well.
You're so, so wonderful.
P.S. Sorry the pictures are kind of cropped...I have no idea how to make them bigger so that no one gets cut out! If anyone knows and wants to help, that would be great :)

|GRPN from IPO (FreeStockCharts.com)
Groupon only offered 5.5% (35 million) of its total outstanding shares, so there is a tight float. A week before the options started trading, all of the "available" shares were used to short the stock (borrow-and-sell). I also read that due to the tiny float, brokers initially charged "an annual rate of 90 percent to 100 percent last week to borrow Groupon's stock." Then, according to Crain's Chicago Business, "the premium to borrow such shares fell from more than 90% to about 30% early this week, opening the door for short sales." It was interesting to see how it all panned out, especially after reading multiple blog posts recently on the best ways to own or short the stock. You can see that $23-$23.30 was the line in the sand and then the IPO price.

Don't worry if you are behind! I hope that by finishing up this BOM a little early, it will leave you time to catch up and finish the quilt if you are intending to gift it to someone for the holidays. Did I really just say that?? Well, yes... let's face it, a sewist's holiday sewing really does usually start in July.
Below are some beautiful Fox & Geese blocks from July's pattern. This really was a tough one with so many small geese. Remember to be patient with this block!
August's block will be available exactly one week from today, on August 1, 2014.

In North Carolina Frustrated liberals and labor organizers are taking aim at the Democratic Party, rushing to gather enough signatures to start a third party that they believe could help oust three Democratic congressmen, the Washington Post reports. The third party, North Carolina First, could endanger the Democratic congressional majority by siphoning votes from incumbent Democrats in November's midterm election, potentially enabling Republican challengers to pick up the seats. Organizers say they are fed up with Democrats who did not support healthcare reform, the Post reports.

I found a stray and he needs a home, but...
...I took him to the vet today and she said that he needs over $200 in dental work. Other than that, he's a healthy as can be.
For those of you who have experience rescuing animals, have you had any luck adopting out animals that might need a bit of medical care? Any tips?
No advice, just want to say that he's a cutie. What kind of dental work?
He is cute. And super sweet. I wish I could keep him. :-\
One of his teeth is broken, so it needs to be extracted. The vet said that it happened to be a tooth (I don't recall the name) that is difficult to remove because it has deep roots. She suggested that his teeth be cleaned at the time of the extraction because of the tartar build-up. She gave me some price estimates, and it's only $40 to have the extraction and the cleaning.
It needs to be taken care soon. The vet said that it would probably take a while to abscess, but of course he's in pain. I was hoping I could find a nice person who wouldn't mind a few extra vet bills...but if I can't find anyone within the next few days, I'm going to give the vet the go ahead to have it done.
Why can't you keep him? He's such a cutie!
He's not exactly supposed to me in my apartment at the moment... ::)
We're allowed to have pets where we live, but only two per apartment. He makes three!
He's not exactly supposed to me in my apartment at the moment... ::)
We're allowed to have pets where we live, but only two per apartment. He makes three!
Well, if he has a tooth pulled, then he isn't "fully complete", now is he? LOL! I know that's a bit of a stretch (well, actually, a HUGE stretch! ::)), but I'm just trying to find ways for you to get around that rule!
We never adopted any of them out. We kept them! I used to bring home strays all the time. We had a cat that "adopted" us and you could tell that he had been hit by a car at some point. His lower jaw was crooked and messed up and his tongue hung out his mouth. It didn't stop the cat from eating and he wasn't in pain so the vet advised not to do anything about it since the old injury didn't seem to bother the cat. He was still a loving playful cat.
I also forgot to add that I've "violated" apartment rules on cats like you would not believe. ;)
Poor baby kitty! maybe if you train him to hide when people know on the door he'll stay hidde and no one will no the difference! I hope he's not in too much pain! He really is a sweet looking cat!
I want to keep him, I do! How do I convince the hubby? :o
keep showing him that cute little face?
He's adorable, and I'm not too much of a cat person.

DocumentationMathematicaThe Mathematica BookA Practical Introduction to MathematicaRunning Mathematica
1.0.1 Notebook Interfaces
Running Mathematica with a notebook interface.
In a "notebook" interface, you interact with Mathematica by creating interactive documents.
If you use your computer via a purely graphical interface, you will typically double-click the Mathematica icon to start Mathematica. If you use your computer via a textually based operating system, you will typically type the command mathematica to start Mathematica.
When Mathematica starts up, it usually gives you a blank notebook. You enter Mathematica input into the notebook, then type Shift-Enter to make Mathematica process your input. (To type Shift-Enter, hold down the Shift key, then press Enter.) You can use the standard editing features of your graphical interface to prepare your input, which may go on for several lines. Shift-Enter tells Mathematica that you have finished your input. If your keyboard has a numeric keypad, you can use its Enter key instead of Shift-Enter.
After you send Mathematica input from your notebook, Mathematica will label your input with In[n]:=. It labels the corresponding output Out[n]=.
You type 2 + 2, then end your input with Shift-Enter. Mathematica processes the input, then adds the input label In[1]:=, and gives the output.
Throughout this book, "dialogs" with Mathematica are shown in the following way:
With a notebook interface, you just type in 2 + 2. Mathematica then adds the label In[1]:=, and prints the result.
In[1]:= 2 + 2
Section 0.5.1 discusses some important details about reproducing the dialogs on your computer system. Section 1.3 gives more information about Mathematica notebooks.
You should realize that notebooks are part of the "front end" to Mathematica. The Mathematica kernel which actually performs computations may be run either on the same computer as the front end, or on another computer connected via some kind of network or line. In most cases, the kernel is not even started until you actually do a calculation with Mathematica.
To exit Mathematica, you typically choose the Quit menu item in the notebook interface.

My sister has been going to Nicole's Gourmet Foods (http://nicolesgourmetfoods.com/) in South Pasadena for ages, but I finally made it there only recently. Well, I've been there twice in three days - is that bad??
The store itself boasts an great variety of French delights, like mustards, breads and chocolates. Her deli offers fantastic baked goods like madelines and pear tarts. On the savory side, she has cheese platters, cured meat plates, pasta salads and...wait for it...amazing French sandwiches.
Is it hard to find a good French sandwich in LA? In my experience, yes. But Nicole's are absolutely perfect. Crusty, slighty chewy French baguette, sliced in two with the "innards" scraped out a bit (so you don't have TOO much bread); a thin layer of country pate, some tangy cornichons, a few lettuce leaves and presto - the perfect Parisian pate sandwich. That was my dinner last night. The other evening it was her smoked chicken sandwich, on the same bread, but this time with dijon, butter, sea salt, lettuce and tomatoes. Fabulous!
I'm sorry I haven't been able to eat in, as Nicole's has a very cute front-side patio with nicely shaded chairs and tables. Yesterday I saw people enjoying bottles of rose and their crustry French loaves with rich butter and cheese and an array of meats - what a perfect scene! The only bummer is that the place closes around 6 p.m. and is not open on Sundays.

Its been so unbelievably stressful since last Thursday.
We had distribution day on Saturday morning. We have over 50 Scouts in our pack and they were all picking up orders. We had to tell people to double check when they get home becasue we had not time or space for checking there. Unless their orders were tiny.
[email protected]
$$ decided to double check his order right then. He had a substantial order and he was blocking traffic. I asked him to please check that at home..... he rolled his eyes at me and ignored me. Another leader asked him the same and he ignored him also.
I had to ask the person who used to be our Popcron Kernel to asked him to move. He seemed to have listened to him. Because shortly after he talked to the
[email protected]
$$ he started to load his order.
Then he come and shoved me and told me to F O...... I then turn around followed him (because he though he was just going to leave) grabed him by his t-shirt and made him face me and told him "what the h3ll"..... he continued to tell me to F O and I told gave him a piece of my mind also......ggggggrrrr I would have gladly given him a right hook in his shnozzle.
Now, I have a living room covered with boxes full of popcorn waiting to be picked up by the kiddos.
Everybody seems to be having good sales and need more product. But I'm out of the popular stuff and I can't replenish it until next week because the Council also doesn't have product.
Now, I'm off my soap box

At age 90.
July, 1939
Eager to climb, Donn left his father and brothers behind, pushing on with Henry and Fred, when bad weather set in. "Just as we reached the summit, the mist closed in around us and shut off our view of the mountain below," he said in "Lost on a Mountain in Maine" (1978), an as-told-to account of his adventure written with Joseph B. Egan.
Ignoring the advice of his climbing mates, Donn headed back to rejoin his family. Lashed by rain and disoriented by the enveloping mist, he quickly became lost. And thus began his weeklong odyssey.
Recalling his Boy Scout training, he decided to follow a small stream toward what he hoped would be a camp or town. At night, he curled up between tree roots and covered himself with moss. He ate wild berries. On the second day, tripping as he walked in the stream, he lost his sneakers, which he had tied together and carried over his shoulder.
Not long after, trying to throw his soaked jeans onto a rock in the stream, he misjudged and watched as the water carried them away. "I couldn't believe it," he recalled in his book. "My pants were gone." ....
Small stones cut his feet. Near-freezing temperatures at night stiffened his limbs. Mosquitoes, black flies and moose flies bit.
"Somebody ought to do something about those black flies," Mr. Fendler said in "Lost on a Mountain in Maine." "They're terrible — around your forehead, under your hair, in your eyebrows and in the corners of your eyes and in the corners of your mouth, and they get up your nose like dust and make you sneeze, and you keep digging them out of your ears."
He prayed. He hallucinated. One day, he heard a plane circling overhead but could not find a clearing to wave at it. Twice he encountered bears, foraging, as he was, for berries. He began to lose strength and hope, before the sight of telephone wires suggested to him that he was on the right track...
Later he made a career in the US Army, earning his Green Beret.
Check out the full story and slide show (showing him in scout uniform with a proper necker).
All scouts should read his book Lost on a Mountain in Maine. or the retelling Lost Trail: Nine Days Alone in the Wilderness

Imagine Dragons' lead singer Dan Reynolds is getting candid about the "debilitating" disease that has impacted his ability to perform.
The Grammy-winning singer opened up to People recently, telling the magazine about the excruciating pain that forced him to cancel multiple show dates.
"It was beyond the pain that you feel when it's just a back ache. It felt like someone was drilling my nerves," the 29-year-old explained. "It was right when the band was starting to have minor success — we were starting to sell out small clubs, and we were playing these very active shows, and it started to make me have to cancel shows."
Reynolds continued, painting a bleak picture of his life without appropriate treatment: "I couldn't get on stage. I couldn't move, I couldn't sleep at night, I couldn't perform without standing perfectly still. I couldn't sit down for more than a half an hour."

An accurate diagnosis finally came once his brother suggested he be checked for ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic inflammatory condition that two of his family members suffer from. "I went, and then they did the test to see if it's in your genes — which it was, because it's an autoimmune disease," he said. "And then they diagnosed me and put me on a treatment plan, which fixed me almost immediately. Which was another sign that that's what it was."
Despite having nearly two million devoted and supportive followers on Instagram, Reynolds still felt some hesitation about sharing his diagnosis with his fans. "I was shy to reveal it because it made me feel like something was wrong with me, or — to say the word disease, it's such a drastic sounding word," he admitted. "And I didn't want to admit to myself, or to anybody, that I was struggling with a disease."
Reynolds says he has now overcome his fear of speaking out and is ready to share his experience with as many sufferers via "This AS Life Live!" — an online interactive talk show for sufferers of AS. "I have a chance to really raise awareness and help people that are just becoming diagnosed to see that there's actually light at the end of the tunnel."

Alex Tse Rewriting 'The Crow'
Posted on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Courts recently decided that Relativity Media has the Crow remake production rights that the company had claimed, much to the consternation of The Weinstein Company, which was trying to claim ownership of worldwide ownership of The Crow.
So the remake that has Bradley Cooper attached to star and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) set to direct is now moving forward. Once upon a time, when Stephen Norrington was going to direct, the script in play was by Nick Cave — a seriously tantalizing prospect. Now Alex Tse, who co-wrote Watchmen for Zack Snyder, will write a new version. Read More »

A trading link between the Shenzhen and Hong Kong stock exchanges that launched today could transform emerging market equities by opening up the Chinese market to foreign investors, a portfolio manager says.
The Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program has kicked off on Monday after months of delay due to last year's Chinese market volatility.
Together with the existing Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, which was launched in 2014, the Chinese stock market will now become the second world's largest after the New York Stock Exchange with a daily cash trading volume of $85bn, according to Goldman Sachs.
It will allow foreigners to invest in mainland Chinese equity denominated in renminbi, while Chinese investors will be able to invest in Hong Kong.
Wojciech Stanislawski, portfolio manager at Comgest, says too little weight has been given to the development. "For investors in emerging markets equity, the [Stock Connect] has the power to transform the asset class."
Stanislawski points out that the two connect schemes give access to more than 50 per cent of China's market capitalisation, with around 1447 eligible stocks.
In the year to the end of October, Shenzen and Shanghai turnover represented around 22 per cent of global stock exchange turnover, which at $16trn is by far the highest in the world, says Stanislawski.
Stanislawski says: "Yet only 1 per cent of the Chinese market cap is in the hands of foreigners – as opposed to 23 per cent in Russia, for example, which in our view offers a less attractive equity market.
"A full inclusion of A-shares into the MSCI Emerging Markets index would leave China with a hefty 40 per cent weighting in the index."
AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould says the Shenzhen market differs from Shanghai due to its mid-to-small-cap focus and a heavier weighting toward technology, media and consumer discretionary stocks.
It is best suited to investors who are very risk tolerant, Mould says.
"Shenzhen does tend to be more volatile than Shanghai or Hong Kong although it has outperformed them both over the last couple of years and has rebounded more strongly from spring 2015's heavy sell-off."
Mould says direct investing into Chinese stocks would remain challenging for those who are less familiar with the market and those in the UK rather than on the ground in China or Hong Kong. "That is where a good, well-resourced fund manager could be in a position to add value."
"China also tends to be quite a top-down, macro-driven market, even allowing for the differences in stock constituents between then Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong driven indices.

Nine Native American actors have walked off the set of an Adam Sandler comedy "The Ridiculous Six", claiming the film is "totally disrespectful" of Apache culture. Actor Loren Anthony said producers ignored their concerns about the film's approach to Native American culture and the inappropriate use of props. "Right from the get-go, it didn't feel right. But we it let it go," the Navajo actor - an extra in the film - told the Associated Press. "Once we found out more about the script, we felt it was totally disrespectful to elders and Native women."
Issues included offensive names for Native American women, such as Beaver's Breath and No Bra, and a scene which showed a Native American urinating while smoking a peace pipe. Another extra, Goldie Tom, said producers on the New Mexico set told actors to leave if they were offended. "This just shows that Hollywood has not changed at all," said actress Tom, referring to long-held issues between the Native American community and the US film industry. "Nothing has changed," echoed Navajo actress Allison Young. "We are still just Hollywood Indians." The group also protested about the use of non-Native Americans in Native American roles and other alleged inaccuracies. A Native American consultant on the film also walked out.
Netflix, which commissioned the film, said it was a "broad satire" intended to send up stereotypes. "The movie has 'ridiculous' in the title for a reason: Because it is ridiculous," a Netflix statement said. "It is a broad satire of Western movies and the stereotypes they popularised, featuring a diverse cast that is not only part of - but in on - the joke."
"Our Native American culture and tradition is no joking matter,'' said outgoing Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly. "I applaud these Navajo actors for their courage and conviction to walk off the set in protest.'" David Hill, one of the actors who walked off the production, said "Our dignity is not for sale."
