I can't believe a month has passed since I arrived in Eldorado, Diadema to start my cmap placement at ACER.
Nikki and Deanna, the previous cmap volunteer arts educators have been wonderful at making me feel welcomed and helping me settle in. The partnership between ACER and cmap is still quite recent so the work the girls put into the Clube de Artes and Teatro and also into setting up new groups working across the community, in just 6 months, is truly fantastic!
Initially, coming on my own to do this placement made me feel a little limited as to what I could give the children and the community. I had imagined I would be working collaboratively with another arts educator and that, together, we would be able to offer so much more through our combined skills and knowledge.
So, this first month, with support from Nikki, Deanna and staff at ACER, has not only been about looking for a way forward for existing groups but also about how my skills will add to and build on the work already started by cmap educators, and, thanks to all this support, as Nikki put it, I have definitely "hit the ground running!"
I must say that the fact that I am a native Portuguese speaker has also been incredibly helpful and it made me admire even more all the volunteers who have come before me and will come in the future not knowing the language, what a challenge!
One week into the placement I took on the Clube de Artes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The children are wonderful and really keen to learn anything new. I wanted to get to know them better and for them to get to know me so I thought up a few art activities with textiles to start us off.
Our first venture with the groups was feltmaking and it was great to see the children's reaction as their bits of colourful wool, once sprinkled with warm water and soap, became an actual fabric!
There was no particular theme to the activity as I wanted the children to be as creative and free as possible, experimenting with colours and patterns. It was all about trying out something new and getting to know a little more about textiles.
I hope we can make more felt over the next few months as part of a more specific project. The children are definitely up for doing it again!
We have now moved on to weaving, creating makeshift looms out of paper plates and other bits of cardboard, moving on to pizza and shoe boxes, amongst other found objects.
The children are using wool but they will also be experimenting with other materials, especially those we can recycle and re-use.
We have had some discussion about the practical function of the work we are making. What is it for? What can we do with it? So we are going to go over this during our last two sessions just before Christmas…and also slip in some time for cake and making funky Christmas decorations!
With Carnival drawing near in 2014 there will be time for mask and costume making and the possibility of a public parade to show off the children's fabulous creations, hopefully working collaboratively with other activities groups at ACER so watch this space, there is more to come!
Nikki and Deanna have set up a Theatre for Social Change group made up of amazing young people also in collaboration with fellow Brazilian theatre practitioner Tess Maddoch. Together they have come up with some exciting work and are very keen to continue developing the group. Working with Tess and the young people I hope to be able to add to their skills, getting them to explore other aspects of theatre like set, costumes and props. The girls have also started up sessions to teach English through theatre and I am really happy to continue these using the visual arts instead.
Finally I have started up a Textile Art class for other members of the local community and only last Wednesday we also had a go at feltmaking. This process is unknown to them so it's getting everyone excited at ACER and wanting to have a try too!
As an international volunteer who happens to be a native Portuguese speaker I still can't help but to be aware of the difficulties a language barrier can bring about. Especially as I have not had to go through any obstacles in communicating with the staff at ACER, the children, young people and other community members I am working with but many of the volunteers do.
Quite a few members of staff at ACER are studying English. As a way to improve communication and encourage more interaction between staff and international volunteers at ACER I have offered to support the staff with English conversation sessions which will start from January and the response has been great! I hope that these sessions will help staff feel more confident and comfortable speaking English and that this will also lead to better communication between staff and volunteers in the future!
This is all for now, there will be more to come, so much to do and so little time to do it in. Will be back soon with more news and photos!
Até breve!
In this, the last week of our World Identity theme, it was time to bring things back to a local level and ask the kids to create a flag that represented their individual barrio or sector. Each kid did their own flag design and we asked them to think about the things that they saw in their neighbourhood and the things that they liked or didn't like.
On the other side of their flag, the kids stuck pages from a book called Mi Ecuador which is a 6th Grade School Textbook here. The inclusion of pages from the book were in order to participate in a project called Dysarticulate which originated in the UK and aims to highlight awareness about illiteracy. The Mi Ecuador book talks about what is so special about the country with lots of practical exercises designed to improve children's literacy levels and vocabulary. Therefore this book seemed to be the perfect combination with the sector flags as it added to our world and Ecuador identity theme.
Once the kids had made their double sided flags they were able to plant them outside and we took photos. We asked the kids to really think about the layout of their flag creations so that through the photos we could transmit not only the pages from the book but give viewers a real sense of the environment in which these live their lives.
To continue and develop our broad theme of increasing childrens' knowledge of the world and developing a strong sense of individual and Ecuadorian self identity, we launched our new theme – El Mundo. We had a lucky dip in which kids picked a random flag from around the world. We then played a number of games in which the kids had to match their flag to the continent maps displayed around the space – 'Find my continent' as it were! It was interesting to see how extensive or how limited their knowledge about the world was. And we were particularly impressed by Isla Trinitaria, in which the kids' knowledge of the world was definitely the most extensive.
After a globe puzzle, that it was time for the groups to do a recreation of their flag adding any extra details that they knew about the country that they'd picked. We had some great flag interpretations including a bottle of wine on a French flag, fishes on a Portugal representation and the Andes on a Chilean flag.
The following week it was time to create a 'Jigsaw Puzzle World' or Rompecabezas, in which kids identified the region of their flag on the giant globe and tried to stick it in the right place! This activity produced a giant patchwork world of flags which looked great and were totally unique in design in each of our sessions. We also discussed world identity with the kids. We decided that although people might look different and speak different languages, the thing that joins all people is their feelings and their hearts. The kids then got to represent this by creating hearts or hands and connecting these all around the globe.
Inspired by the 2012 Olympics in London, UK 7 young people from Juconi Ecuador participated in an international photography project– Create Compete Collaborate.
Motivated by this theme of cultural exchange, the participants exchanged photos that represented their lives and identities with young people from All Sorts Youth Group in Brighton UK.
As well as exchanging photos that they'd taken, both sets of participants were able to comment on each other's photos. This evolved into a lively exchange in which both groups had the opportunity to ask questions that they wouldn't normally have had the chance to ask and it exposed the range of cultural differences that exist between these very different nations; the differences that we all take for granted in our day to day lives.
The Ecuadorian participants used the project as an opportunity to create a "window" into their lives for the Brighton young people who'd be viewing their photos. Therefore, we have a huge variety of photos, including: one young person's mother preparing chickens to cook and sell in her foodstall, a marimba dance group that another young person is part of, inside the church that one of the group members attends and a variety of pictures which express the realities of living in the marginal sectors (slums) which are home to these young people of Guayaquil.
A very big thank you, or muchisima gracias, to our participants who have constantly surprised and entertained us with their comments, insights, questions and of course their incredible and powerful photos.
Gracias Anabel, Joel, Lilibeth, Marcos Abel, Michelle, Nicole, Omar and Steven and well done to you all.

Pedrosa is 18 points down, but the assumption that 20 points in PI would've given him the title here is an illusion. Jorge would've ridden a lot more careful today if the title was on the line. But what would've happened then is another matter. We'll never know. IMHO both riders would've made more than worthy champions this season. Lorenzo finished 16 out of 18 races, either in first or 2nd. That's outstanding. Pedrosa on the other hand scored 7 wins with awesome displays in all of them and dominated the second half of the season.

Psychological Interventions for Gynecologic Cancer
Psychological Interventions for Gynecologic Cancer
Very little is known in the psycho-oncology literature about why psychological interventions are effective or for how long these interventions exert an impact. Given many cancer patients experience recurrence and/or progression, it is important to know whether our relatively brief interventions facilitate how patients cope with this most-feared medical event. From a theoretical perspective, the study will advance our understanding of the mechanisms for change for two common treatment approaches, supportive and cognitive behavioral therapies.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of CCI, SC, and Usual Care (UC) on patients' long-term general and cancer-specific psychological adaptation, concerns about recurrence/progression, and quality of life, and to determine whether intervention effects are moderated by disease recurrence.
Secondary Objective: To evaluate the cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral processes which mediate CCI and SC's effects on patients' long-term general and cancer-specific psychological adaptation, concerns about recurrence/progression, and quality of life.

The Pasco Sheriff's Office held a three-day course this week designed to reduce the threat of criminal activity in neighborhoods and around businesses.
Developed in the late 1960s and early '70s by a criminologist and an architect, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design relies on design elements to reduce crime, such as the placement of fences, lighting and entrance ways that control access.
The CPTED course, open to business groups, community leaders, members of civic organizations, and law enforcement members, was taught by Lt. Troy Fergueson of the Pasco Sheriff's Office and held at Safety Town.
"The goal of the course would be for people to never look at their environment the same way again," said Fergueson, who has taught the course throughout Florida and other states. "(To) not take subtleties for granted but learn how to use the built environment as well as the social environment around a community, around a neighborhood, around a business to control human behavior, (and) limit crime potential."
In addition to ensuring bushes are properly cut or removed to eliminate hiding places for criminals, well-lit neighborhoods provide a less likely playground for thieves, he said.
"You can't place a dollar amount on this (course)," Mario Grasso, field operations manger for the Oakstead community in Land O' Lakes, said. "This is such pertinent information that will only benefit us, the residents, and the public in general."

The Biggest Loser Walk Off Begins Tonight
April 17, 2012 08:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Back in February, there was a protest behind the scenes of NBC's The Biggest Loser, where the contestants walked off the set when they learned the eliminated players would be returning (something the show normally does). Producers apparently were not going to tolerate the childish behavior and cut two of the contestants from the remainder of the season. Tonight, the walk off begins and the contestants will be confronted by the show's lawyer! Read on for more…
The Biggest Loser fans have been anxiously awaiting to hear more on the walk off since the news broke back in February. Most of us were left hoping that Conda Britt was one of the contestants who were cut, but then we learned that Mark Cornelison was likely one of them after some information was leaked.
Now, more new information surfaced and has us wondering if Jeremy Britt is one of the cut contestants as well. In an unreleased video from NBC, Jeremy Britt meets with Alison Sweeney, and the show's attorney. Jeremy feels that he does not want to be controlled by the producers, and he tells the attorney: "For me it's just this is a matter of right and wrong, and in my heart, I feel like this is wrong." Is anyone else sick to death of the Britt siblings? With any luck, the Mark information was false and these two morons will get the boot.
Does Jeremy Britt feel strongly enough to protest to the point of getting kicked off the show? He very well could have! The show's attorney was quick to point out the obvious to Jeremy: they all signed a contract that clearly stated all of the eliminated contestants would be returning, but Jeremy does not seem fazed by the fact that he signed the contract. Apparently, all five remaining contestants met with Ali and the attorney, but who was given the boot is the question that is still lingering. All we can do is speculate on what we do know until tonight!
Tune in tonight to find out, or check back with us after the show – I'll have a rundown off all the drama for you! What do you think of all this drama? Who do you think was cut from The Biggest Loser? Luckily, we will finally get to see the drama begin to play out next week. I love hearing from all of our Biggest Loser fans!

My husband and I love the show, not only is it inspiring, but fun to watch people's transformation. Although we both agree that in this season all the contestants have a sense of entitlement and they are just pathetic. Given circumstances in past seasons where contestants have walked off the show for their own personal reasons and were not allowed to finish the competition, I strongly believe that all the contestants that walked off the show should have been automatically disqualified. What kind of message is the show sending to allow them back? If I were a past contestant that had been disqualified for walking out in past seasons, I'd be the first to file a lawsuite against the show.
Just my opinion!!!

I think the Britt duo should be eliminated. Conda has been a problem from the git go. They all signed the contract and need to live by it.

I will be glad when this season is over. I hope the show does a better job picking people for next season. Such a good show that was ruined by the contestants this time.
kim Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 3:26 pm
As much as I would like to see Jeremy and Conda being booted off over this, I'm thinking that they, being the youngest contestants left on the ranch, were influenced by the others and then were brought back to their senses by the lawyer and Alison. In the clip that shows Jeremy talking to the lawyer and Alison, he sounded like he was just parroting what he had heard from the others. Then when the lawyer pointed out that it (the eliminated players returning) was expressly spelled out in the contract, he almost had a look of "oh…crap, I guess I should have read more carefully" on his face. My prediction is that Mark and Kim were the ring leaders of the whole fiasco. Or maybe Mark and Buddy… Kim has a good chance to win the prize. I'm wondering if she, a single mom, would be willing to risk that.
Can't wait to watch tonight!

Kick them all off and file lawsuit for their childest behavoir. This was the worst group of contestants ever on the biggest looser show. Walkoffs, quitters, poor selection of people this time around.
Candy Says:

This season contestants have been the worse. My spouse and I have watched every season every show but this year we have not and will be glad when it is over. Enough drama. What do the contestant owe the series for their loss ratings and expenses.
KBush Says:

I am glad to see the guys go because they took a spot that could have belonged to someone that needed it. They should have to pay back everything that was provided to them during the time at the camp

Wow. Lived this show till now. Will never watch again after the intimidation of the players. Made me sick . The ones who stayed only agreed cause their chances were better. The worst show ever. Made me sick!!!!!!

I have watched the biggest loser every season since it started. This group of losers has been the most divided and self centered of all. The five that are left are the worst of the group. I wouldn't vote for any of them. Also Jillian and Bob conpeted with each other but they were always together in their motives for the contestants. It often appears that Bob and Dolvet are at odds with each other.

I cannot believe the conceite of some people…..I would have told them all here's the door…don't let it hit you on the a– on your way out…I would expect this out of Conda and her cronies, but was shocked by some. They need to remember some of the folks they sent home was not because they weren't working out, it was because they were singled out and ganged up on…
Jeanette Brake Says:

After this evening's episode, I'm no longer a "fan" of the program. If those that walked off tonight are allowed to return for the finale, I will not watch another episode or season.
Kate Duffy Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
I feel the ones that walked off should have to pay for their time at the ranch. They aren't entitled to anything. They were given an opportunity to save their life and this is what they do because they don't have what it takes to compete with others. I feel sorry for them and I bet their weight will come back on.
hardworking mom Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 7:08 pm
WoW – almost all of these comments line up with what my family was saying tonight! It will be interesting to see if the Biggest Loser takes any of this into account for next season. The only point I differ on is Kim – I've liked her and rooted for her through this season.
Lisa Atkinson Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
I cant figure out why the yellow line wasnt used from the beginning??? It seems very unfair just picking out someone……with nothing being based on weight loss!!!! I was hoping Jeremy would win…I dont think he is mean at all like his sister. Sorry to see buddy go…..Well, guess its battle of the witches….. I would rather it was kim!!!
Karthy Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
WOW!! I am trying to understand the reasoning that these people have, they think that it is not fair to let one of the elimanated people have a chance to come back because they have not worked as hard as they have?? I think that the people that have been at home have had to continue to work and live in the world that they couldnt lose weight in the first place and they have lost enough to get back on the show, now WHO has worked harder???
Cindy Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
Mark and Buddy, are you kidding? What kind of message are you trying to send to the kids anyway!? Talk about breach of contract, you both signed a paper that clearly stated there would be the chance of former players to be brought back. I would certainly hope you both are barred from competing for any part of the prize on May 1 or from even appearing on the final program. Buddy, I was rooting for you to be the winner, now you have "blown" that chance right out of the water. I am sure you could have used the money for your family, the new baby and a child with other problems. Needless to say, this season has been a total disaster. Hope next season is better.
Ms. Mac Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
What an unappreciative group of people. They have had some great experiences and all they can do is threaten to leave. Well, let them all go. I am sure some of the people who went home would love to take their places even if they've missed all of the "goodies". I am really hoping that someone who was sent home wins. Have they ever watched the show before coming on the show? If so they would know that contestants come back nearly every season. This season has become so annoying. Where is Jill? Bob and Dolvett stop encouraging this bad behavior. I have not read one positive response on this group.
James George Says:
April 17th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Unbelieveable!!! This is the stupidest season in the show's history. I started watching this show because it was so inspiring to see the contestants go through the transformations and growth but this season's theme should have been "the biggest crybabies/immature/manipulate my way through by backstabbing" What a joke. To see Conda and her brother Jeremy even get this far with the games they've played is sickening.I'm sure they never planned to walk off but wanted mark and buddy to go so they could have a chance at splitting the winnings, which has been their plan all along but the adults in this show were so weak they couldn't deal with it. The producers should be ashamed of themselves.I hope Conda gets eliminated next week and the babies of the show will finally be gone. Grats to Kim for whining the car, I think I would have puked if Conda or her brother won it.
Karen Says:
April 18th, 2012 at 1:00 am
Conda has got to be the most evil, manipulative, sneaky, poisonous person I have ever seen. She and her sidekick brother together with their gang of bullying thugs did real job of destroying what used to be a wonderful, inspiring show. Seeing that smug smirk on her face and all that sickening fake whining and crying was disgusting! This spoiled brat group hissy fit where 2 pompous, arrogant contestants were duped into walking off the show just in time to practically guarantee a win for one of the evil Britts was ridiculous! Finally, watching Conda's blatant fake drama at her brother's elimination was just plain disgusting! The other contestants who joined in with all the intimidation and bullying should be ashamed of themselves and the producers should be ashamed of this horrible hateful season.
Nettie Lamb Says:
April 18th, 2012 at 5:58 am
I believe the ones that walked off should be sued for every penny that was spent on their behalf: cost of room, board, food, trainers, makeover, travel, etc. These people are nothing but pathetic human beings and should not have been allowed on the show. Conda and her brother are the top of pathetic human beings. This has been the worst season ever. I would give anything to have been in their place but not all of us are that lucky to have that chance and then they go and ruin theirs.
Redbird Says:
April 22nd, 2012 at 12:20 pm
Did anyone else find it very suspicious that Kim lost 15 lbs in 1 wk, when she has little to lose, but a good change at a lot of $ and a new SUV to gain?
Does the doctor ever chk if they used a diuretic or other substance to quickly lose wt?
Certainly wrestlers would be very familiar with that to meet their weigh-in.

Golem: Tanz (Corasón Digital)
May. 9, 2014
On their fourth album, New York's Golem plays up the Yiddishkeit in a set of original songs echoing that wild klezmer spirit in hard-driving, contemporary formats. Lyrics are often a humorous (occasionally darkly so) take on the Jewish experience, even if the beat is closer to rock than any rhythm known in the shtetl as producer Tony Maimone (They Might Be Giants) amps up the accordions, adds a serrated edge to the fiddles and pumps up the volume.

Cinepolis-back fest will take place in Morelia in Oct.
MEXICO CITY — With a growing festival, a new film fund in development and the possibility of a major studio development, Michoacan is shooting for a bigger star on the movie industry map.State capital Morelia will host its third international film fest from Oct. 8-16. Backed with funds from nation's largest exhib, Cinepolis, the event has become one of the most important fests on the Mexican calendar after Guadalajara. This year, 42 shorts and 17 documentaries produced in Mexico will be shown in the competition, which has become a scouting event for local producers looking for new talent in Mexico's small and struggling industry. More than 20 of the features shown at Cannes will make their Mexican bows at the fest, including "Me and You and Everyone We Know." Eleven Mexican pics will be shown, with the premieres of Rio Negro's Colombian co-production "Rosario Tijeras," Amat Escalante's "Sangre" and Decine's "American Visa." Morelia is one of the most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico, and its striking lakes and mountains were shot in many films during Mexico's golden age of cinema in the 1940s. Now film promoters are hoping the state's growing profile will draw in more domestic and international films. Fest patron Cinepolis, privately owned by the Ramirez family, is flush with cash. Company has built about 100 theaters a year, mostly in mid-sized towns, since 2003, and is investing $100 million during 2005-6 for 200 more. The Ramirezes are also investing in moviemaking. Exhib has helped fund post-production and publicity on four pics in two years, and has several more projects that it plans to co-produce. "Our core business is exhibition, we aren't looking to fully finance movies, but we are looking to get in when interesting projects come along," says Ramon Ramirez, Cinepolis marketing director, who isn't related to the owners. Cinepolis is also rumored to be preparing to build the nation's largest studio, having already purchased the land and drawn up plans. Ramirez said he was unfamiliar with the plans. "We are here, the festival is here, it's a logical step." Local government is also taking an interest. Michoacan has become a stronghold for Mexico's leftist PRD. Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, son of three-time presidential candidate Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, is fest veep while Cardenas' other son, Michoacan's governor Lazaro Cardenas, has committed to help establish a film fund. Manfred Lopez, a young entrepreneur and Morelia native who previously worked in L.A. and New York, is trying to tap federal and state coin to create a $15 million fund. Lopez moved back to Morelia earlier this year to found a film center to promote the state. Lopez has already received around $1.5 million from private U.S. investors and has received initial commitments from the state government. Lopez says the fund could be operational by mid-2006 and he plans to begin shooting a first film in February. Efforts to decentralize federal monies to state agencies may benefit the Michoacan fund, as well as other states such as Jalisco and Nuevo Leon, that are developing film funds. But the local funds will have to show they can do something with state money before Congress is likely to earmark funds, said Victor Ugalde, head of federal film fund Fidecine.

Re: Pavilion dv9 mouse pointer freezes and nothing can be clicked[ Edited ]
10-15-2011 02:42 PM - edited 10-15-2011 04:17 PM
As many others I have a pointer freezing problem. When it happens, I also lose the touchpad and the keyboard. Doing a hard turnoff by holding down the power button for 4-5 seconds reactivates all functions. Then anywhere from one minute to about 20 minutes later it happens again. This computer is four years old and worked perfectly until about a month ago.
System is Windows 7 running on an AMD TL 64 2.20 GH
Any new thoughts by anyone?
UPDATE; ran HDD test and status was : #2-07 FAIL What does that mean?
Re: Pavilion dv7 mouse pointer freezes and nothing can be clicked
I have the solution. What is happening is that you are "deactivating" the mouse by hitting the small white square on the mouse pad. This box turns the mouse pad on and off. To reactivate the mouse pad, simply double tap the white box and your mouse pad shoud reactive. It is has worked every time for me.
Re: Pavilion dv7 mouse pointer freezes and nothing can be clicked
mabye its a battery problem i have this problem too
Re: Pavilion dv7 mouse pointer freezes and nothing can be clicked
I recently have been having the same problem with my dv7--my cursor freezes in the middle of an action, and the touchpad doesn't work then, either. CtrlAltDel does nothing, and my only option is to shut down my computer. I have had this computer about 2 1/2 years, and starting 6 months after I bought it I was already having issues. I sent it in once to have it worked on, and all that HP did was update the BIOS (I think that's their panacea for all ills) and didn't do anything about the issue that was happening. I'm really disappointed with this computer, and I will be looking at Lenovo when I'm in the market for a new one...probably sooner than I would hope.
Re: Pavilion dv7 mouse pointer freezes and nothing can be clicked
I could not find any help on the web, but then I found this on wikipedia:
"If the computer is powered by an external power supply unit (PSU), the detailed construction of the PSU will influence the virtual ground effect; a touchpad may work properly with one PSU but be jerky or malfunction with another (this does not imply any electrical risk whatsoever, a delicate capacitative ground, not a contact ground, is at issue). This has been known to cause touchpad problems when a manufacturer's PSU, which will have been designed to work with the touchpad, is replaced by a different type. This effect can be checked by touching a metallic part of the computer with the other hand and seeing if operation is restored. In some cases touching the (insulated) power supply with some part of the body, or using the computer on the lap instead of on a desk, while working can restore correct operation.

So I guess I knew Keithen English wasn't coming to ISU, but I expected him to make a bigger splash than the Univeristy of Houston. That must be the big-time program his coach was hoping for.
Our seemingly abrupt termination of his recruitment was odd. Maybe his coach went Cecil Newton on us.
bad advice from his coach. told the kid he could get him better offers and he couldn't
If he wanted to play B12 ball, his coach probably lost him that chance. SO much for big offers.
This is very important:
2014-15 KenPom AdjO (rating)
116.3 (11)
2015-16 KenPom AdjO (rating
120.7 (3)
Houston is a pretty decent program and Kevin Sumlin is an up and coming coach.
Assuming Sumin stays at Houston for a few years, which is a big assumption, I can see something behind English's decision. One of the better non-BCS teams, close to home in Texas with a good young coach.
The reality is that Sumlin was mentioned for at least half the open jobs this year and I doubt he will be around for all 4-5 years of he current classes commitment.

I have a feeling that Iowa State backed off of this kid...

Maybe he likes the Galleria?
I have said it before... Some kids like the spotlight, to play in big time games against big time competition and showcase their abilities against future NFL caliber talent. Apparently English isn't one of those kids. He sounds like one of the kids that wants to take the easy road, play lessor competition so they can dominate a bunch of C-USA scrubs and feel like they accomplished something.
My take... we want kids that may not have 5 star talent but they aren't afraid to go head to head against a kid that does have 5 star talent and punch them right in the mouth. It is a mentality, a chip on their shoulder, a desire to compete... those are the kids we want.
Good luck to English... enjoy putting up big numbers against jv level talent in C-USA. Maybe just maybe if he dominates those scrubs enough someone outside of the Houston metro area might know his name.

So much for his coach helping him get "bigger" offers. He shouldn't have listened to his coach.

No inside information, but everyone need to keep in mind that an official visit is a two way street. It's not all about the school selling themselves to a recruit. The recruit also has to convince the staff that he has the intangibles required to be successful at the D1 level. More than one recruit has raised doubts about how well they will fit in based on the impression that they make on a visit. It's not all about starts and highlight videos.

A sci-fi version of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness? One of the most controversial tales over the last century+, telling the story of Marlow, the cargo boat captain in Africa at the end of the 19th century, on assignment to return Kurtz, an ivory trader with a reputation, who encounters the "darkness" of the Congo wilderness, and the "darkness" that resides within human beings, after witnessing the brutalization of Africans by white European traders. Read on from Variety:
Radar Pictures is taking the plunge into "Heart of Darkness," tapping Peter Cornwell ("The Haunting in Connecticut") to direct an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel as a spacebound sci-fi pic. Titled "Into Darkness,"... the project is loosely based on Conrad's 1902 tale of ferryboat captain Charles Marlow's quest to return shadowy ivory trader Kurtz to civilization.
As most of you likely already know, Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 work, was based on Conrad's novel, with the key difference being that the story was moved from the Congo to Vietnam and Cambodia, during the Vietnam War. So, really, anything is possible here. Just don't expect to find any of the original story here, other than its themes.

Evilyn Machine
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
Some of you might think that because this chick has a robotic name it means she is built to fuck, but such is not the case. I'm not altogether sure what the machine part of the sitename is all about, but what I can tell you is that Evilyn Machine is a hot chick who does have a taste for a certain kind of mechanical hardware.
This site mainly shows EvilynMachine masturbating and plugging herself with a dildo. However, in one clip we see her take on a Sybian, which appears to do a good job for her. When she's not busying herself with some self-love, she tries different hairdos out, makes herself up and flashes us glimpses of her privates.
When you first click on the video page you'll initially see 15 videos, but most of these are clips from the same movies, so you end up with eight videos. They are pretty short and clock in at an average of five minutes each. The good news is that they come in great-quality Windows Media files.
The 29 photo galleries feature some really sweet shots of the site's star. The images are very sharp and clear. All the photo sets can be downloaded in Zip files. For the most part the shoots are all about Evilyn lounging about and posing.
As for extras, you get 13 bonus sites that focus on lithe-bodied, nubile hotties. These include Candie Crush, Dakota Carson, Mckenzie Belle and She Devil Dolls.
I recommend that you take a pass on joining. This is not meant as a knock against Evilyn Machine, because she is hot. It's just that with such a pricey membership fee in place, there should be more content to enjoy.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Artist Bio
Born in Los Angeles, CA. in the mid 80's, to an immigrant mother and a military father. Jeff Jericho first began making music his junior year in high school. Performing at local talent shows with a group of child hood friends, the group would soon go their separate ways in order to pursue solo ventures shortly after graduating from high school. Jeff and former group member / producer, J-Myth, would eventually rent out a small apartment in Inglewood, CA. and began making more serious recordings with another local producer by the name of DeUno. During this time Jeff went on to record a couple of mixtapes before taking a short hiatus to concentrate on family matters stemming from the birth of a second child and the incarceration of his oldest sons mom.
Once Jeff was ready to return to the music scene, he again called on the help of J-Myth and DeUno to lend their talents to his project. Jeff also set his eyes on a third producer and friend by the name of Tariq Beats who had begun establishing himself within the local music scene during Jeff's hiatus. The collaborative effort would spawn what Jeff calls his debut album 'The Jericho Experience'. The album was independently released on April 22, 2014 and was ushered in by the Aris Jerome directed 'Get Crazy' music video which debuted a few weeks prior to the album's release. 2 more videos were eventually released for the project, Ridin Slow and Drives Me Crazy. Jeff is currently working on a new project due for release during the summer of 2015.
2nd release from the new Jeff Jericho album titled Cake Dreams, due for release in the late Summer or 2015

Andalusia, Spring 2011 was the stunning location for a week of nude photography, with two photographers and their two models. Our two fantastic models, Ella Rose and Hannah Ashlea were up to the challenge of everything we threw at them during the trip.
We were fortunate to have rented a wonderful historic old villa full of antiques gathered during the owner's lifetime on his trips all over the world. This provided the unique backdrop for many of the images included here. We also discovered many fascinating locations around Andalusia, including: beaches, mountains and man made ruins, both ancient and modern.
We hope you enjoy looking at our work as much as we enjoyed creating it.
I am a London based photographer, I work from my studio in Battersea and on location.

Please note For journeys starting less than 2 hours from now you
will be unable to buy online.
South West Trains and Siemens, working in close collaboration with Network Rail, have joined forces to pilot an innovative new system that can diagnose potential problems with trains by listening to them as they pass.
The system, called RailBAM®, monitors 300 train a day on the busy Wessex Route which carries South West Trains services between London and Weymouth. The system – the first permanent application of this technology in Europe – employs an array of hi-tech microphones mounted at the side of the track that listen to every individual axle bearing on each train as it passes by.
Information on how the bearings sound is then fed back securely to a database in real time, where it is compared to the sound of a perfect bearing. Sound analysis allows tiny bearing defects to be identified months before they become critical.
Steve Scrimshaw, Managing Director of Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility, said: "The long term investment in innovative RailBAM® technology will minimise maintenance costs and passenger disruption whilst improving safety.
"The ability to monitor the trains while they are in service means that not only can potential problems be identified in advance, but they can be corrected as part of routine maintenance. This reduces unplanned maintenance, maximising availability and performance for the customer."
Christian Roth, Engineering Director for South West Trains, said: "We are extremely pleased to be the first train operator in the UK to trial this innovative new system, which is a clear demonstration of our commitment to running a safe and reliable railway.
"As one of the busiest and most complex train operators in the country, we are always looking for ways to improve even further and we believe the new RailBAM® technology will help us to deliver significant improvements in the delivery of our service."

American Idol
How Far Does Matheus Fernandes Make It on American Idol 2013?
When he started singing "A Change Is Gonna Come," Matheus Fernandes wowed the judges. The American Idol Season 12 contestant is 4'9", but Randy Jackson said his voice makes him seem 10 feet tall.
His story moved Mariah Carey, but it was his singing that scored him a ticket to Hollywood.
Sadly, you won't find Matheus's name on our spoiler list, as he didn't make it to the Top 40. We wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that he was in The Glee Project a couple years ago?

for the S&W the attornry never served me in 2002 nor the WCAB with my name, He finally let me know of the case 6 years later. i filed for Dismissal of the S&W
but at trial the judge never heard the motion and he went right to susbstantive issues. I won on substantive issues. He did NO discovery except to fiannlt take my depo in 2008. Because of the delay i cost me $ 61 k to defend instead of a much lesser amount.
So the question is: Can I succesfully use the delay as part of evidence of mal prosecution because he NEVER did anything to establish PROBABLE CAUSE other than rely on the fact that there was an underlying WCAB case ?

How do i get through to my fiance?
Things have done a complete 360 in our relationship. He is unsupportive in my pregnancy. When i try to talk to him about the baby he doesn't seem to care. Doesn't have any desire to go to dr appts with me or anything. We currently have a 7 yr old and 3 yr old and are expecting our 3rd baby in May. I am 15 weeks pregnant currently. He refuses to take our son to Boy Scouts every Monday night because "he's tired". Long story short, he missed the past year of our childrens life and now that he is here he still won't fill the shoes as a father. Boy Scouts is a great way to bond with his son. And he doesn't want to do it. When i try to talk to him about how i'm feeling and let him know i need more support and love from him, and so do our children he flips out on me. Just lastnight he told me i was an a**hole, he always tells me to shut the f*ck up. He talks to me like i am nothing. Like dirt on his shoes. I am so hurt and feel so alone. I don't have anyone else to talk to. What do i do?

Well I have to tell you, that is so sad that he is acting that way. He's missing out on so much and doesn't even realize it. I have been going through the exact same thing with my husband of 9 years. All I can figure is that it MUST be a temporary pregnancy thing, because my husband missed his daughters (my stepdaughter) parent teacher conference for the first time ever, and hasn't been interested in the family at all. I can understand your stress I think, and I guess the best thing I have found for comfort is trying to have fun with the current children myself as much as possible, spending time away from the house with my friends (when I can), I joined MOPS (look it up if you've never heard of it - its a mothers group and is a nationwide org that is a fabulous way to get support and make friends), and also eating well and reading to the baby a lot. Just remember you are beautiful, and that eventually, your husband will come around.posted 12/14/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

McCain Launches Immigration Ad Targeted at Hispanics
Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.
Expected Republican nominee John McCain's campaign released a new ad, "God's Children," today, tailored to Hispanic audiences that will run in the three Western swing states of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.
The ad features McCain from a June 2007 Republican primary debate performance in New Hampshire during which he extols the contributions Hispanic immigrants have made in the U.S., particularly through military service.
"My friends, I want you the next time you're down in Washington, D.C., to go to the Vietnam War Memorial and look at the names engraved in black granite. You'll find a whole lot of Hispanic names," McCain says in the ad, "When you go to Iraq or Afghanistan today, you're going to see a whole lot of people who are of Hispanic background. You're even going to meet some of the few thousand that are still green card holders who are not even citizens of this country, who love this country so much that they're willing to risk their lives in its service in order to accelerate their path to citizenship and enjoy the bountiful, blessed nation."
McCain has broken with many in his party on the issue of immigration reform through his earlier advocacy of a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal residents—many Hispanic—currently in the U.S. Efforts to approve such an overhaul of immigration laws last year failed in the Senate—where McCain was a lead author of the bill.
The Arizona senator, acknowledging the divisiveness within his party as well as the push-back he received from angry voters during the primary season, has since conceded that comprehensive reform can only be achieved after the U.S. secures its borders first—a position he emphasizes on the campaign trail. (For more on McCain and immigration, read THIS recent Wall Street Journal story.)
Hard-line Republicans, such as former primary rival Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado—advocate for the deportation of those here illegally, as well as a halt to legal immigration. The latest ad also notably features a clip of Tancredo sitting on the debate stage while McCain speaks.
"So let's from time to time remember that these are God's children. They must come into country legally, but they have enriched our culture and our nation as every generation of immigrants before them," McCain says in the ad.
On Monday, McCain will speak at a gathering of the National Council of La Raza, a nonpartisan Hispanic advocacy group. It is his third address to a Latino group in 15 days.

On Saturday night it's the third FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics), a monthly dinner event I have been participating in here in Greenpoint, where we all pool $10-20 contributions, eat a delicious meal and vote for a project to receive a cash grant. This time, my friend Mary Jeys is proposing her new project Brooklyn Torch, a local currency for North Brooklyn.

[ ESC ] was truly awesome on Friday night! It grows with every year. We had a great collection of projects and upwards of about 200 people in attendance. Locations & Dislocation was well received (I have several new cards to do!) and I enjoyed the presentations & unique collection of projects.
Drew Cogbill presented Pigeon, a social network using telephones he hopes can bring social networking to places where internet is not as ubiquitous (sign up to be a test user!). Meng Li and Elim Cheng presented Peek, Poke, Talk, a delightful bench that encourages interaction between strangers. When people sit far apart from each other on the bench, their shadows are triggered to interact and flirt, high fiving, whispering and teasing each other with a power drill (he he…).
We'll be posting the program and links on our newly minted website soon. Laura Chipley took some wonderful photos (three below).

Onlookers at Locations & Dislocation
Thanks so much to my co-conspirators: Suyin Looui, Francisca Caporali, Laura Chipley, Pilar Ortiz and Ariana Souzis, who really took the lead this year.
The IMAterial show turned out beautifully. It was really miraculous to see the way the Black Box, originally a gymnasium, transformed into a dynamic gallery. I was very happy with Havemeyer Street, the two-channel video installation I made with Francisca Caporali, Kym Chapman, Pilar Ortiz & Uni Park about gentrification in Williamsburg. I'll be uploading documentation in the coming weeks.
We had the honor of guest artist critiques with Mendi + Keith Obadike and Jennifer McCoy. I got some great feedback on my Comment Williamsburg site and got to see Colonial Glass projected on a giant screen. As usual, working with the gang was pretty amazing, especially considering we do the work of 30 people with just a few of us. Below are pictures from Laura Chipley, you can see more of hers here. More documentation forthcoming.

Stranger Comes To Town
28 minutes 2007
They say there's only two stories in the world: man goes on a journey, and stranger comes to town.
Six people are interviewed anonymously about their experiences coming into the US. Each then designs a video game avatar who tells their story by proxy. Goss focuses on the questions and examinations used to establish identity at the border, and how these processes in turn affect one's own sense of self and view of the world.
"Stranger Comes to Town" re-works animations from the Department of Homeland Security –combining them with stories from the border, impressions from the on-line game World of Warcraft, and journeys via Google Earth to tell a tale of bodies moving through lands familiar and strange.
How To Fix The World
28 minutes 2004
Adapted from psychologist A.R. Luria's research in Uzbekistan in the 1930s, "How to Fix the World" brings to life Luria's conversations with Central Asian farmers learning how to read and write under the unfamiliar principles of Socialism.
Colorful digital animations play against a backdrop of images shot in Andijian (where Soviet-era President Karimov's supression of Islam lead to violence in May 2005.) At once conflicting, humorous, and revelatory, these conversations between Luria and his "subjects" illustrate an attempt by one culture to transform another in the name of education and modernization.
The subtleties of this transformation, as well as the roots of current cultural conflicts, are found in words exchanged and documented seventy-five years ago.
Jacqueline Goss makes videos and web-based works exploring the rules, histories, and tools of language and mapmaking systems. Her projects take as their source specific acts of writing and cartography that bring about cultural change, technological innovation, or create social narrative ruptures.
For the last few years she has used 2D digital animation techniques to work within the genre of the animated documentary.
A native of New Hampshire, she attended Brown University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She teaches in the Film and Electronic Arts Department at Bard College in the Hudson Valley of New York.
The event on Thursday was incredible. We estimate we had about 100 people come through to see socially engaged media projects by 25 graduate student artists from 8 programs. I showed my Comment Williamsburg website. All three of my IMA professors from this semester came, which I greatly appreciate, as well as some dear friends from outside the program. The room was filled with the many attendees from other schools & programs and of course wonderful IMA friends and classmates. More info on the IMA website, which I finally finished!
I was truly delighted that all our hard work paid off, and I'm deeply in gratitude to the wonderful people I organized the event with: Alana Kakoyiannis, Ariana Souzis, Francisca Caporali, James Wagstaff, Laura Chipley, Pilar Ortiz & Suyin Looui.

Tre, the third feature by filmmaker Eric Byler (Charlotte Sometimes, Americanese) continues his theme of exploring relationships, marriage, fidelity and friendship. The film centers on four friends: Kakela (Kimberly-Rose Wolter, who also starred in Charlotte Sometimes and co-wrote this film), an aspiring writer, her boyfriend Gabe (Erik McDowell), Gabe's best friend Tre (newcomer Daniel Cariaga) and Nina (Alix Koromzay), an aspiring actress/waitress who's separated from her husband.
As the film opens Tre, the slacker son of a wealthy family, shows up at Gabe and Kakela's house, where he occasionally lives, only to find Nina has taken over his room after leaving her husband. Angry sparks fly between Nina and Tre from their first encounter, but annoyance soon gives way to more amicable pursuits between them. Nina is on the outs from her husband because he kissed another woman for ten seconds at a party; when her friends question whether that's really a reason to leave a marriage, she notes that "ten seconds is a long time to kiss someone you're not supposed to be kissing" and then methodically counts ten seconds aloud to drive home her point. When Kakela discovers Nina has started hooking up with Tre, she's both miffed and intrigued . Nina's dalliance makes her question both her own devotion to Gabe, whose marriage proposal she has just accepted, and the chemistry between her and Tre, which is getting harder to ignore. With all this sexual chemistry running amuck, you just know things are going to go badly, and they do. Tre can't deny his attraction to his best friend's girlfriend; Kakela tries to maintain boundaries while dipping a toe over the edge of them; she begs Gabe to make Tre leave, but Gabe can't bear to be without his best friend and refuses to choose Kakela over Tre.
The film explores the complexities of friendship and loyalty, and the ways in which we flirt with disaster that sometimes push things over the edge. Tre loves Gabe like a brother, and the two have sworn no woman will ever come between them, but Kakela tests his devotion to his friend. Where a lot of filmmakers would feel the need to spell out all the complexities of hte relationship between Gabe and Tre -- how they met, what they've been through together, why Gabe is willing to let Tre just show up in his life whenever it's convenient -- Byler understands that it's enough to know that the two are close, and let their obvious affection for each other speak for itself.
We aren't given to know the entire personal histories of the other characters, either. We know, mostly from well-crafted dialog that never feels too expository, that Kakela is a writer (or, as Tre more accurately puts it, an "aspiring writer"), that her parents died when she was young, and that she has enough money to live in a really nice house and pursue writing without having to worry about how she's going to pay the rent. We know that Tre comes from a wealthy family, that he feels his relationship with his mother is more about her than about him, that his relationship with his stepfather is dicey, and that he's probably disappointed his family more than once. We know that Gabe trains horses for a living, that he and Tre have known each other for a long time, and that Tre and Gabe used to work together. And we know that Nina is a struggling actress who sidelines as a waitress, whose marriage was probably on the rocks long before her husband engaged in that 10-second kiss.
What's brilliant about the script is that we're able to extrapolate all that information about the four leads from the sparsest of dialog, and if you think that's an easy thing to accomplish, chances are you've never tried to write a script. Doling out the information your audience needs about your characters without going heavy-handed with the exposition is a craft that many filmmakers never learn to do well, and writing believable dialog that sounds the way real people talk and interact is even harder. I could far easier make a list of writers who don't write good dialog and interaction than writers who do, and Byler would be numbered among the latter.
One of Byler's strengths as a filmmaker is his understanding of human relationships and his ability to show the range of complex emotions and relationships through this finely-honed dialog. An early scene in the film has the four friends at the outdoor patio table the morning after Kakela has discovered Tre and Nina have been messing around. Byler captures perfectly the real way in which people interact -- the lingering eye contact, the hint of disapproval projected by a raised eyebrow, the tension and chemistry that something as simple as lighting a cigarette or getting up to get a glass of juice can convey. There's more undercurrent in this one scene than a lot of filmmakers manage to put into an entire film, and that's a testament to both the talent of the actors and to Byler's ability to help his cast grasp the subtext of their characters and how each would act and react as they play off each other.
Frankly, I saw more than one film at Sundance this year that had nowhere near the caliber of direction, story and perfomances that I saw in Tre, and I'd like to see Byler continue to gain recognition as a filmmaker. Charlotte Sometimes was showcased by Roger Ebert at his Overlooked Film Festival a couple years ago and won several fest awards, and Americanese, Byler's adaptation of the novel by Shawn Wong, won the audience award and a special jury award for ensemble cast at SXSW. I liked Americanese, but much as I enjoyed that film, I think Byler is at his best when he directs material he writes on his own, and he's at the top of his game with Tre.
Tre opens in Los Angeles today, on February 8 in Chicago at Facets, and February 15 in San Francisco at the Four Star Theater. We'll keep you apprised as more dates are added.

Luck's Jason Gedrick Will Guest Star On Grimm In Season 2
By Jessica Grabert 4 years ago comments
Actor Jason Gedrick didnt have a lot of fortune when HBOs Luck was cancelled, due to poor ratings and some potential horse mishandling. The actor has bounced back pretty quickly, however, recently landing a gig on the newest season of Dextor. Now, hes also headed to network television, where he will guest star over at NBC on the networks cult Friday show, Grimm.
Gedrick is set to play Craig Wendell, a man with an innocuous name, but a pretty terrifying past. Wendell will play a killer in the Grimm universe, a man Hank put away years ago after he claimed he only became a killer when fighting some monsters in self-defense. According to TV Line, now that Hanks been dealing with some monsters and mayhem, Wendells rants seem a whole lot more plausible. In the Season 2 episode, Hank will go to some lengths to rethink Wendells earlier claims of self-defense, but the real concern in the episode will be whether or not the mans claims will prove true.
Weirdly enough, theres a lot of killing going on around Gedrick in his next few television gigs. On Dexter, the man will be connected with a killing and will later find himself in Dexters path, which usually spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e. On Grimm, too, the man will be connected with a killing. With those odds, its likely that he will be playing a bad guy at least once. Lets hope its on Dexter.
Grimms second season will premiere Friday, September 28 at 9 p.m. ET, and Gedrick's episode will hit the tube sometime later this fall.
