There's a superstitious belief, saying that if you wish for something, you should write it on a piece of paper and burn it. Then, by some magical intervention, the wish ought to come true. If we remove work-statements Rero has been conjuring from a firmly rational context, we might be allowed into a deeper contemplative realm, where the artist summons the better. But, that his desires remain in the domain of wishful thinking is more than obvious, as the artist strikes out each of his Verdana typed statements, disallowing them from materializing. The space will never be yours and you did not get in, ironically proclaims Rero, while our vulgar souls remain bare and tied to the worldly, struggling to understand his voice. Still, by mocking our petty wants, Rero stays objective and benevolent, supporting the need for the better - life, love, money, whatever - by relentlessly creating and tackling a broad cultural discourse.
After his first exhibition at Fabien Castanier Gallery in 2012, Rero is opening another solo presentation of his work at the space this January, marking his second solo exhibit in the USA. The show entitled Gated Community is to examine the planetary increase of social and urban separation.
Exactly because of the negation, Rero's artworks have been easily recognizable and easily relatable. Every artwork series delves into different issues regarding various social ideas, exploring technology, consumerism, archaic values, and first of all - language. The power of his message lies in the crossed out words, leaving the observer wondering whether realization of presented ideas could ever be possible. Often, Rero's statements are in the domain of now, when he only records the destruction or the absence of certain things or values, universally held as given or positive. In God We Trust is negated, thus becoming an eye-opener, as contemporary society trusts in anything, but piety escapes it.
Minimalism that Rero employs is pushed to the outer limits of expression, where the artists persistently seeks new models of presentation, often found in different, new media he uses. His urban approach has been enriched by textural studio works, in which traditional painting techniques merge with relief, collage or even sculptural treatment of canvas. By constructing in the most expected of materials, Rero deconstructs our wishes and notions brought in the negated text behind. His pieces thus gain another level of meaning, placing them in a wider socio-cultural plane.
Works that will be shown at the Gated Community exhibition share the same conceptual core - the confrontation, the aesthetics of destruction and the idea of appropriation. As Rero's art is inherently tied to urban environment, statements delivered in this series can easily be related to a broader space, not only to the gallery. The artist adapts his proclamations to studio-size, but we can see them easily blown-up in proportion, never ceasing to show influence of the street. Materials, as mentioned, are many, from canvas, to old books, neon, fine china, small sculpture, plaster, debris, old newspaper, flags and more.
Opening on January 24, 2015 at Fabien Castanier Gallery, Gated Community will attempt to raise eyebrows and spirits, while igniting the contemplation process on the rising social stratification. Rero will be on view at FC gallery through February 28, 2015.
See how Rero's work differs from what he did a year ago, reading about his solo show ERROR in the Title, or group presentations at Fabien Castanier Gallery or in Brazil.
LATEST UPDATE: Gated Community has been extended through March 7th, 2015.

I just want to bitch about this in a relatively safe space (one that isn't a FP).
So in news that literally surprises no one except those who are waking from a 9 month coma, Donald has announced that he will accept the election results only if he wins. Which, holy fucking shit, this is the ranting of an entitled toddler at this point.
I CANNOT wait to see who sticks with him to the bitter end. Because I will remember. And I will point it out to others, for years to come.
This is not a standard election, and this is not something that should be accepted as part of the process. This is wholesale rejection of civility, diplomacy, democracy, and tradition. And while I understand the rejection of tradition in many cases, this is not one of them.
I told my son that we need to be careful not to make enemies of his supporters (on a personal level), but that we need to forcefully reject the notions and ideals that Trump himself is putting forth. So if you support him because you find the notion of 4 more years of the democratic party in the office, I can understand that. But if you embrace him because of his positions? Then I can't find enough common ground with you to even debate.
I have erased too many rants, and held back too many opinions over the course of this election cycle. This man is insane. He is dangerous. He is a threat to our country. And he managed to get this far. We, as a nation, have failed. That includes me. He is a threat to women, immigrants, the economy, minorities, the middle class, the impoverished, small business owners, and potentially most importantly, to anyone who disagrees with him.
I would like to thank everyone, on every side, in every arena, who has spoken out. Seeing people like Senator Jeff Flake absolutely reject the notion that what Trump is doing is acceptable does restore hope in the system. And that this is no longer about party lines, but about the underlying foundation. We may have moved backward, but in doing so, have confronted a number of ugly truths about our nation. Perhaps this deconstruction can help us rebuild? Or perhaps it is just the cracks showing through the veneer, and from this point forward it is only trying to stop the inevitable. I don't know yet.
I only know that I am worried to see what the next month brings, because I do not think that this will end on Election day.

Project Description
We are now entering the heart of cold and flu season. (This is different from Powder Flu season, which also happens to mysteriously manifest this time of year. See below). For centuries, many have turned to the elderberry during this season to boost immunity and, some say, as a way to reduce the severity of cold and flu symptoms. Out of respect to this fabled fruit, Elderberry Kombucha is now back on tap at a store near you for the season.
In addition to its role as an herbal remedy, the elderberry has inspired many a legend. A few years ago, the University of Vermont Extension, through its Elderberry Project, chronicled the quirky history and lore of the elderberry. Here are a few fun findings:
– European elderberry harvesters intentionally leave some for the migrating birds, recognizing the elderberry's importance as a healthy food source.
– Port wine, typically from Portugal, for a time was viewed as a health drink. Perhaps this is because some vineyards would sneak elderberries into to the wine must along with the more expensive grapes. The dark elderberries wouldn't change the deep purple color of the port and may have helped deliver some healthy benefits.
– Hans Christian Andersen wrote a surreal children's story (aren't they all kinda surreal?) about an elderberry tree. More on this later.
– Harry Potter fans will remember that the Elder Wand, which was made of elder wood with a cluster of elderberries carved into it, was one of the three Deathly Hallows. Interestingly, the Elder Wand was said to be made by Death himself, which seems incongruous with the healing properties of the elderberry.
– The Common Elderberry has a near doppelganger, called the Stinking Elderberry. There are a few differences between the plants but the biggest is that it, well, stinks.
The Hans Christian Andersen story, The Little Eldertree Mother, inspired our Artist-in-Residence "Spicy" Mike Kin to create the illustration above. The story is about a young boy who catches a cold while playing in the wet landscape of Copenhagen. While the boy is warming up with some elderberry tea, he listens to a story from his elderly neighbor about a woman who lived in an elderberry tree. When the old man finishes the story, the boy sees that the Eldertree Mother has sprouted from the teapot. The story is about remembrance, shared experience, and the transportive power of fairy tales (and a good tea).
So fill up your growler of our Elderberry Tea Kombucha during cold and flu season and perhaps, like the little boy in the story, you'll visit "warm countries" too.
About that Powder Flu? Well, we can help with that too:
Caught the "Powder Flu?" Drink a Kombucha. We need to be very cautious discussing health benefits (per the FDA) but we can say with confidence that if you drink Aqua ViTea Kombucha while treating the "powder flu" you will feel energized & miraculously return to work the next day.

JT Eaton's Repeater Mouse Trap is a galvanized steel multi catch trap that catches up to 30 mice at a time, discreetly. It is a low profile trap that easily fits under pallets, equipment and furniture.
This mice trap is a standard in many industrial locations such as warehouses and loading docks as well as retail and home locations. This FDA and USDA approved trap is easy to inspect and clean. They provide excellent maintenance control in commercial establishments, such as restaurants, processing plants, storage rooms and all warehousing.
California Proposition 65 WARNING
JT Eaton Repeater Multiple Catch Mouse Trap (Solid Lid ) # 420
Repeater Multiple-Catch Mouse Trap (Clear Top) # 420CL
Place JT Eaton's Repeater Trap where mice activity has been noted. Also place this mulitple mice trap in potential areas where mice may enter (next to exterior doors). It is best to place it where the entry hole is parallel to the wall or object, but will also work if the entry hole is postitioned perpendicularly.
The mice are curious and enter the entrance looking for harborage, once inside the trap they can not leave. A lure such as peanut butter may be used, but is not necessary.
One thing that is common with new traps is that the hardest mouse to get into the trap is the first one. Once the smell of a mouse is in the trap, other mice will want to go in and investigate.

Hello! Yesterday I talked about the "town" part of our recent vacation, so today I'll conclude by talking about the "country" places we visited.
We left Pittsburgh on a Monday morning, taking State Route 28 up to I-80 in the Brookville area. Route 28 starts as a limited-access highway but eventually becomes a two-lane road. Plenty of nice scenery and a few old villages along the way, and I saw a number of small white churches that would have made for nice photo ops. I love the scenery in Pennsylvania!
Our destination was Williamsport, PA, but shortly before we got there we made our usual stop at Purity Chocolates near Allenwood. I've written about this business before. Sure, there are many chocolate shops around, but not all of them have their factory connected to the retail shop, visible to customers.
Looks like a sports theme was going on the day we visited:
Appears to be footballs on the top rack and baseballs below them (plus there's some flat molded chocolates underneath the baseballs, but I couldn't tell what they were meant to represent). Football season will begin soon (high school football is huge in these parts), and as for the baseballs - well, the Little League World Series will also begin soon - several miles away on literally the same road. I think a chocolate baseball would be a great souvenir of a visit to the Little League World Series!
Speaking of that sporting event and of souvenirs, I did manage to combine the two during a visit to the American Rescue Workers thrift store in Williamsport: I purchased a t-shirt celebrating a local team that made it quite far in the tournament in 2011. It was a big deal at the time in the region, of course, and we were cheering for that team to go all the way, but they didn't. The t-shirt was in fine shape; looked practically brand new. I paid $3.50 for it, but I bet it had cost at least three times that much new.
Williamsport is actually a "big city" for its region; we stay there because it has the best choices of hotels and eateries. But like every other town in the area, hills and rivers are close by.
And we saw plenty of both during a walk along the Pine Creek Rail Trail. We first walked along this trail during a visit last summer. This year we parked at the Ross Run Access Area and walked to the village of Cammal area and back, a distance of around five miles round trip.
Saw nice scenery, of course:
View along Pine Creek.
Cottages along the way; Pine Creek is visible in the background of the first photo:
Houses in or near the village of Cammal:
The third photo is actually of the garage belonging to the house in the middle photo. I liked the numerous birdhouses decorating the little building attached to the garage on the side.
For years we have passed this stone house on the way to hiking trips on the nearby Black Forest Trail, and I've always liked it. It was for sale a couple of years ago and obviously someone had bought it, for a lot of work has been done recently. It appeared that new windows have been put in, and while we passed by I could see workmen fixing up the garage. I don't know the history of the house, but it must have one; this isn't a common building style in the area.
We encountered several people on bikes and one pedestrian couple. Should have taken a photo of an older couple we saw on bikes: they came pedaling up to stop at a bathroom facility along the trail and we chatted with them for a bit. Their bikes had matching baskets attached to the handles, which I learned the woman had woven herself. The design was Native American, she said. Very nice design at that - and the basket was just the right size to hold their neighbor's dog, who had happily come along for the ride.
The day after our stint along the Pine Creek Rail Trail, we headed up to Ithaca, NY. Ithaca is a college town and so doesn't exactly have a small-town feel, but it's a bit off the beaten track, so it seems like it's out in the country.
You can get quite a workout walking to the campus of Cornell University from downtown Ithaca - it's a steady climb up. We've all done that before, but this time just my husband did the climb while our daughter and I checked out the shops in the downtown area.
Of course I had to visit Sew Green, a thrift store devoted solely to fabrics, trims, yarns, patterns, craft books and a few other odds and ends related to sewing. (of these categories, they have more fabric than anything else). They also offer sewing classes for all age groups.
Sew Green had expanded since my first visit there two years ago; it'd now doubled in size. I was happy to see that; more room for browsing! I bought a couple of fabric pieces that were on sale plus a pattern for making a fabric wallet. I also rifled through the "free" box and selected three pattern leaflets.
There are a number of charming shops in downtown Ithaca but I made only one other purchase there, also at a secondhand store: Judith Fertig's Prairie Home Cooking cookbook, from the used book store Autumn Leaves. Lots of solid recipes here, including some that were new to me. For instance, did you know that you can make a flavored syrup from peach leaves? (unsprayed, of course). I had never heard of this, but Fertig says the syrup has a delicate almond flavor.
I loved this pottery at Handwork:
The same potter also had a shelf devoted to doggy-decorated wares. I saw a lot of things in this shop that I would love to have!
Creativity abounds in Ithaca:
I'm not sure what this is called, so I'll just call it a "utility box". We saw several of these around town, each painted in a different way.
The pedestrian mall, called Ithaca Commons, is currently undergoing some construction, so a typical wooden barrier was set up around the work zone. And probably typical of a town like Ithaca, sections of the barrier have been painted to represent various community groups and businesses. I took the picture of the artwork for Bandwagon Brew Pub because that's where we went for dinner. It's a microbrewery with a small menu; locally sourced food is a strength.
A more crude example of artwork:
This large painted wheel was residing at the Tompkins County Workers Center, found on the second floor above Autumn Leaves. We don't know much about this center, but we enjoy walking around in it to see what's going on with local social justice. This wheel is part of an anti-fracking organization housed at the center. I also saw a table of fundraising items, including bumper stickers and anti-Walmart buttons. Two men were seated at a long table nearby, one giving earnest advice or expertise to the other. Basically, this is a place for the "little guy" - nice to see people looking out for workers instead of just the bottom line!
With that, I conclude the "country" portion of our vacation. I hope you enjoyed traveling along with me! We had a great time.

With 7 weeks to go in this season's Premier League season, Leicester City are on course for a historic title win, while West Ham will fight it out with the 2 Manchester giants for a Champions League spot.
But while the rise of the smaller clubs in England has come as some kind of surprise to the majority of the footballing world, this trend only seems to be at the start of its upward curve.
It's no secret that the Premier League attracts the biggest audience, and therefore the biggest sponsors and TV deals. For years, smaller English teams have had the capacity to outspend top clubs in countries such as Spain, Italy or France.
So why has this season been so far from the norm? While clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have certainly all been well below par, there has undoubtedly been an upturn in quality throughout the league.
After years of trying to play catch up, teams outside of the traditional 'big' club conversation seem to have finally figured it out. With greater scouting networks throughout Europe and the rest of the world, these clubs are bringing in quality players that have set the foundations for a massive revolution in the Premier League.
West Ham strengthened in the Summer transfer window, adding the likes of Dimitri Payet from Marseille, Angela Ogbonna from Champions League finalists, Juventus, and Alex Song in on loan from Champions League winners, Barcelona.
While Leicester City saw their extensive scouting network bear bountiful fruit in the form of Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kanté- arguably the top 3 players in the league this season.
However, it's not just these 2 clubs that have pushed to challenge the 'big boys', and with next seasons TV rights deal kicking in, that push might get a whole lot stronger.
The new TV deal is valued at £5.14 ($9.627bn), over £2bn more than the previous deal, and will mean that every team in the league will have cash to splash in the upcoming off-season. The expected pay-out should see the team that finishes 20th next season be awarded £99m, more than the 3rd placed team in La Liga received last season.
With this glut of money, competition for footballing talent throughout the world will be dominated by English clubs, but not necessarily by the 'big' English clubs. Buoyed by the events of this season, teams throughout the league will be eager to build a team capable of challenging next season.
And it is for this reason that the biggest clubs in England might not be the best clubs next season and beyond, as teams look to follow the Leicester blueprint and do what everyone in the footballing world thought was unthinkable only one year ago.

Natural News
October 22, 2011
(NaturalNews) Authorities recently took Millage Peaks Jr., son of former Los Angeles, Cal., fire chief Millage Peaks, into custody on charges of bribing a public official and attempting to smuggle marijuana onto a commercial airline flight. CBS 2 News in Los Angeles reports that Peaks confessed to bribing US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent Dianna Perez to let him smuggle bags through security on at least nine different occasions.
Peaks was on his way from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) when he allegedly bribed Perez to let two suitcases filled with about $38,000 worth of marijuana, or roughly 14 pounds of it, pass through the screener undetected. But when other TSA agents smelled the marijuana through the bag, his plan was foiled.
Reports indicate that Perez first took the bags into a private screening area, "inspected" them for a few minutes, and proceeded to bring them back to the main screening area with her stamp of approval. Perez apparently had even advised Peaks about how best to pack the marijuana so that no other agents would find it.
"Peaks had arranged for Perez to help him move bags containing marijuana through airport security for a fee," says an FBI affidavit. "He intended to pay Perez $500 for each bag that she helped bypass security," stating also that Perez had helped Peaks "circumvent security nine previous times."
According to reports, Peaks purchased the marijuana in California's Bay Area the day before his flight, and drove back down to Los Angeles the same night in order to make his flight the next day. His attorney, Robert Little, says that Peaks had planned to resell the marijuana once he arrived in Boston.
Similarly, a TSA agent from Buffalo, NY, last month pleaded guilty to aiding in a criminal drug smuggling ring. A TSA "behavioral detection officer" at the time, Minetta Walker confessed to helping drug dealers avoid "enhanced" pat-downs and naked body scans to facilitate their smuggling of drug money onto flights (http://www.naturalnews.com/033495_T…).
TSA agents have also been arrested on charges of stealing passengers personal items, planting drugs in passengers luggage, molesting children and seniors, and distributing child pornography, among other things (http://www.naturalnews.com/TSA.html).

"Yeah, I'm just very lucky. I feel I won the lottery with 'Beastly,' " says Alex Pettyfer.
Actually, the 19-year-old has been lucky all along. At 14, he won the lead in "Tom Brown's Schooldays," which led to his being cast at 15 as Alex Rider in "Stormbreaker."
Now as the rich boy Kyle Kingson in "Beastly," he learns several life lessons, including how to see people for whom they really are.
"It's kind of a modern take on 'Beauty and the Beast.' People like stories they recognize, but they like it changed up."
The change here, as Pettyfer explains it, is that "B&B" is usually seen through a woman's eyes, "where 'Beastly' is through my eyes as the beast. You go on this adventure with him, with his loneliness and struggle, and you've never been on this side."
Calling Kyle his most demanding role, Pettyfer says "it was physical but not in the sense you'd consider."
When he signed up, "I didn't think I'd be in a makeup chair for 7 1/2 hours (for 53 days). It was 5 1/2 hours of makeup, then an hour and a half off. Seventy-five pieces glued on to you every day is crazy."
That was after he shaved his head.
"That helped me with my character. When you've got an image you've had for many years and destroy that, you take yourself out of a comfort zone," he explains.
One side benefit of all those hours in the chair: "I would watch the TV behind me in the mirror and saw probably 40 horror movies. The makeup guys were obsessed with horror movies and taught me about those with great prosthetics."
Pettyfer's faves: "Tim Curry as Satan in 'Legend' — that was nine hours in the chair — and John Carpenter's 'The Thing' and Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead 2.' "
His one hope for the future?
"I am praying there is not a 'Beastly 2,' " he says.

With the birth of the royal baby, there is only one story the press will feature on their frontpage nationally and internationally. It was a tense moment for the print press last night not knowing whether the baby would be born in time for the newspapers to go to print. The newspapers were delighted last night when it was announced that The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth as it meant they had the story to go on the front pages creating souvenir issues.
The Sun would have been disappointed if the baby was a girl, otherwise they would have had to scrap their headline 'The Son' which is a slight alteration of the masthead, a dream pun for The Sun.
The Daily Mirror leads with the headline 'Our little Prince' with one of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's engagement photos. Interestingly, they do not lead with the headline 'It's a boy" probably as in March the headline was "It's a girl" due to the Duchess apparently nearly slipping up.
The Daily Star, Daily Telegraph and the Daily Express all lead with the headline "It's a boy" and a huge picture of the Duchess of Cambridge covers the whole front page as well as a statement of the weight of the baby.

Home of Metal is going global, with a major international touring exhibition to celebrate the musical influence of Black Sabbath.
The show was first staged at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in 2011, showing how heavy metal was born in the city and then took over the world.
And now it's coming back, bigger and better than ever, in a three-year project which will see it touring to other countries before returning to Birmingham.
Arts Council England is investing £450,000 in Digbeth-based arts organisation Capsule's plans.
The new Home of Metal show will be centred around Black Sabbath's fans around the world. The funding will help bring together fans with artists and academics to tell their stories and explore the cultural legacy of the band.
The programme will launch in February 2017 in Birmingham on the final date of Black Sabbath's last world tour. The organisers will be using social media to connect with fans, in countries as far afield as Brazil, India and Malaysia.
Part of the project will be collecting stories from fans living under oppressive regimes to discover how they have shared music in ingenious ways.
The first year of the project will involve collating material, the second will be an international tour – venues to be announced – and then the exhibition will return to its Birmingham home in the third year.
When Home of Metal opened five years ago it let visitors take a peek inside a recreation of Ozzy Osbourne's living room in Lodge Road, Aston and strum a guitar like Tony Iommi.
It attracted more than 200,000 people, including visitors from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Finland, South Africa and the USA.
Tony Iommi says: "An artist or band's success can be measured by their relationship with the fans and the success of the Home of Metal exhibition brought home just how dedicated and loyal ours are.
"It's always humbling to realise how you've touched people's lives with your music. A project where fans are actively involved would be great."
Lisa Meyer, artistic director of Capsule, says: "This support from Arts Council England will enable Capsule to develop the next ambitious phase of Home of Metal and take the project to a global audience.
"We will be celebrating what is at the heart of the genre – the fans – and putting them centre stage."

The University of Saskatchewan Huskies fell to the University of Moncton Blue Eagles 5-1 today in their first round-robin game of the Canadian Inuteruniversity Sport men's hockey national championships in Fredericton, N.B.
Saskatchewan's fast speed caught Moncton by surprise early in the game as Huskies defenceman Matthew Delahey scored only 2:08 into the first period.
Once the Blue Eagles were able to regroup, however, Moncton ran away with the game.
Eric Faille of the Eagles tied the game up midway through the first period with a shorthanded marker. Four minutes later, Samuel Grouix added Moncton's second goal.
The Blue Eagles pulled the game even further apart late in the second after Keven Charlan fed a hard pass from the corner of the Huskies zone to Francis Rochon, who was parked in the slot. Rochon one-timed the puck past Saskatchewan netminder David Reekie.
Simon Lacroix added Moncton's fourth goal six minutes into the third while Faille added his second with only 31 seconds remaining in the game to finalize the 5-1 victory for his squad.
Blue Eagles goaltender Pierre-Alexandre Marion stopped 20 of the Huskies' 21 shots and was named the game's first all-star for his performance. Reekie stopped 25 of 30 shots.
Saskatchewan will face the McGill University Redmen tomorrow in their second game of the round robin. McGill downed Moncton 6-3 on Thursday and, with a win against the Huskies, will finish first in the three-team pool – the three teams being Saskatchewan, Moncton and McGill.
The other pool consists of the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds, the University of Western Ontario Mustangs and the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres Patriotes.
The winners of each pool will play in the final on Sunday for the University Cup.
Saskatchewan can only finish first in their pool if they beat McGill by more than 5 goals as the higher goals-for-and-against difference determines which team moves on in the event that all three squads have the same win-loss record after round-robin play.

Fireworks shows June 30 at Tappan Park, July 4 at Atwood Park, and July 7 at Charles Mill and Seneca parks
June 22, 2012
The Fourth of July holiday celebration is quickly approaching.
And you know what that means – giant fireworks shows at your favorite Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) lake park! There is nothing quite like a fireworks show at the lake and the MWCD lake parks have several shows planned throughout the holiday time period.
Here is the schedule for fireworks at the MWCD lake parks during the holiday celebrations:
Tappan Lake Park – Saturday, June 30
Atwood Lake Park – Wednesday, July 4
Charles Mill Lake Park – Saturday, July 7
Seneca Lake Park – Saturday, July 7
And for a treat a little later in the summer, Pleasant Hill Lake Park will host its annual fireworks show on Saturday, July 21, during its Christmas in July events.
For more details, contact the park of your choice or visit www.mwcd.org online for maps, schedules and more. The five MWCD lake parks offer a variety of ways to enjoy outdoor recreation, including campgrounds, hiking trails, swimming beaches, ballfields and courts, and planned daily and weekly activities and special events.
The MWCD, a political subdivision of the state, was organized in 1933 to develop and implement a plan to reduce flooding and conserve water for beneficial public uses in the Muskingum River Watershed, the largest wholly contained watershed in Ohio. Since their construction, the 16 reservoirs and dams in the MWCD region have been credited for saving nearly $10 billion worth of potential property damage from flooding, according to
the federal government, as well as providing popular recreational opportunities that bolster the region's economy. A significant portion of the reservoirs are managed by the MWCD and the dams are managed for flood-risk management by the federal U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
For more information about the MWCD, visit www.mwcd.org and follow the MWCD on Facebook and Twitter.

The toddlers known for recreating the Oscars takes on this year's nominees
The honor of securing an Oscar nomination can make a world of a difference: the expanded opportunities, the precious hardware for your bathroom and children dressing up as you as a comedic astronaut lost in space.
As the 88th Academy Awards ceremony approaches for this upcoming weekend, the mother and daughters behind the tumblr Don't Call Me Oscar are ready with their rendition of each of the "Best Picture" nominees. The popular tumblr account is the kids-friendly visualization of many an iconic shot from this year's movies.
Photographer Maggie Storino and her clan of three children, Sadie, Sophia and Sloane, collaborate like seasoned industry pros in their recreations, from The Martian to the The Revenant. The family of movie buffs have been working on the project since the 2011 beginning of the blog and don't seem to plan on stopping any time soon.
Mashable reached out to Storino for any interesting discoveries since starting the blog, and it seems the online project has its own prescient powers.
"A little known fact about 'Don't Call Me Oscar' is that it's a good predictor of the Oscar winner; since we've been on Tumblr, the photo with the most notes has won Best Picture 3 out of 4 years," she said. "[As of] right now, Mad Max is in the lead."

Tests and Reviews
by organizational development consultant David Zatz, Ph.D., in late 1999
For years, Chrysler ran a program which assigned stars to dealers based on the results of customer surveys. This program had many problems, not the least of which being that the dealers only got numbers, not advice on how to improve their results.
In 1997, Chrysler began its new and revised Five Star program. A full description of it is in this Quality Digest cover story, but the essence of the program, when it was first implemented (before Daimler), is that dealers had to:
In theory, this program should have been extremely powerful. In reality, it is hard to judge its effects.
Five Star dealers got higher customer ratings than other dealers, but that's hardly surprising, since the best dealers would be most likely to try for the program; and since one requirement of the program is high customer ratings. If you draw from the highest rated dealers, you will get a group of highly rated dealers.
From the people we have spoken with, there was both good and bad in the system. The good part was that dealers were give tools to work with, in terms of training, employee survey information, and customer feedback. These tools were invaluable for dealers who really do want to do a better job.
On the darker side, those who don't care about the program stood a decent chance of getting certified anyway, depending on their zone reps. Though Chrysler reps said that dealerships were continuously recertified by rotating zone office personnel, other industry observers have expressed concerns that no outside agency is involved. Ford, for example, used J.D. Power to certify dealers for their Blue Oval program (though Ford's program was crippled by having standards so low most dealers qualified when it was started.)
Employees were under a lot of pressure to get survey ratings up. Many of the issues which annoy customers, though, are not under their control. In addition, mechanics are still under a great deal of pressure to push jobs through quickly, and not waste time talking to each other, sharing lessons learned, and generally increasing their effectiveness. Indeed, the desire to get customers' cars back on time may exacerbate existing "fix-it-fast" problems, though the program's emphasis seems to be on "fix it right the first time."
The best systems have problems, and even with outside certification, dealers could "game the system" and pretend to be doing everything they are supposed to do. It's hard to get around that.
In any case, if customers have their cars actually fixed correctly the first time they go to a dealer, and feel that they are treated well, it will do wonders for Chrysler's reputation for quality.
Chrysler replaced the Five Star dealership quality program implemented in the 1997 with a new program called Dealer Standards. Unlike Five Star, the new program rewards dealers with cash, and uses both mystery shoppers and increasing goals. The Dealer Standards system is operated by a company owned by the Swiss SGS Group, which handles similar duties for Fiat. SGS also counts BMW, Toyota, and Volkswagen as customers. (Sergio Marchionne sits on their board, in what some may call a conflict of interest.)
While dealerships are graded on a variety of categories, including customer relations and facilities, sales volume is a major factor. The criteria vary considerably from month to month.

By DONNA BALANCIA
Johnny Marr is a charismatic showman and master musician who gives the fans what they want. In his first of two sold-out shows at the Teragram Ballroom, Marr showed the crowd he is a genuine rock star.
Marr captivates his audience not with loud riffs and overdone dramatics, but instead with all the humility and grace of a king enjoying a stroll in the common man's clothes.
On Tuesday night, Marr moved about the stage humbly smiling and showing off his guitar collection to an audience anxious to hear the classic songs as well as his new songs off the album Call The Comet. Many of the people in the audience were familiar with the tunes off Marr's June 15 release. The songs on Call The Comet have already struck a chord with music lovers.
'Call The Comet' Drops June 15
Some in attendance were hoping that there would by some slim chance be something on the merch table to take home. But there wasn't any new material — or any merch at all for that matter — as the Teragram lobby was void of any T-shirts, vinyl, cassettes or totes typically sold by bands today.
Johnny Marr has 'Guitar Fetish' – Interview
But this is not any typical band. This is Johnny Marr whose lengthy career most notably as the songwriter for The Smiths has brought him to this juncture. He doesn't need to sell merch to stay soluble, he is one of the many fortunate musicians of the previous generation who actually made a living off music.
Marr Engages Audience with Smiles
But he is energetic and clearly loves his life. Marr continues to tour and put out records and after the final night of the summer at Teragram, he will launch his fall tour on Sept. 15 in Nashville.
He asks the audience for requests and moves about the stage smiling and showing what a genuine rock star does. His continual eye contact and warm smiles kept the fans on their best behavior as most swooned at or recorded his every move.
'A Different Gun' Pays Homage to Victims
On Wednesday, Marr again engaged the fans, taking questions from the audience on an entertainment website live feed, telling the fans some tidbits: He's got "70 or 80" guitars in his collection and he has a new signature guitar coming out soon. He also told viewers he paid tribute to the victims of European gun violence with the song "A Different Gun" off Call The Comet.
Beautiful Songs, Good Looks, Great Attitude
If only other musicians could take Marr's approach to celebrity and career. He is comfortable and not haughty and, at least to observers, fans and the people paying for the tickets, he acts naturally and welcoming.
But most of all, the guy can write beautiful and memorable songs and after all these years in a tough business, he is a rare breed. Marr has kept his not only his youthful look and his great voice, but most of all, his kind demeanor.

Constituyente or war
Your daily briefing for Monday, June 5, 2017. Translated by Javier Liendo.
For 65 days Venezuelans have been demanding the restitution of constitutional order, violated by the Executive Branch through the Judiciary. After the first month of protests, on May 1st, Nicolás announced a historic trigger, a concept that proved to be beyond him but which he summed up in a call for a Constituent Assembly, once again breaking the law, since a president can only have the initiative to propose it, but never to convene it, except that the TSJ's Constitutional Chamber ruled that Nicolás is "sovereign" and he could do it. July 30th is the date chosen by the CNE for this imposition that would mark the end of the Republic, for electing what we don't want to elect, what they won't allow us to show that we don't want to elect. In two months the CNE arranged Nicolás' imposition and yet, Amazonas still has no representation in the National Assembly a year and half after its lawmakers were challenged by a TSJ ruling. The Constituyente has a date but no rules, because that's how chavismo operates, institutionality's irrelevant for them, propaganda narrative is all they case about, including Tibisay Lucena.
Nothing but war
Nicolás announced on Sunday the expasion of his Constituyente's electoral rules, as if it was a novelty to include a referendum for approving or rejecting the new Constitution that nobody wants. He left behind the comparison between chavismo and the Jews who survived the Holocaust, but he claimed yesterday that some opposition protesters "are using drugs used by the Islamic State (…), captagon, it's a tremendously powerful drug," trying to impose the fallacious theory about local terrorism, aside from the fact that Syria's the one of its main producers, internationally renowned as the drug of jihadists.
Right after denouncing the virulence against the Constituyente, he said: "Constituyente or nothing, Constituyente or war," claiming that the process is irreversible, that it's the only road we have.
Consistently, he lied and claimed that several opposition leaders presented their candidacy to be constituent representatives; attacked OAS chief Luis Almagro, whom he blamed for the death of Venezuelans in protests; and also General Prosecutor Luisa Ortega Díaz, saying that protests started when "someone said there was a rupture of constitutional order in Venezuela. She was the missing piece for the assault."
Figuera's sad case
"Orlando Figuera, stabbed and burnt alive by minds sick of hatred in Altamira on May 20th, just died," tweeted Communications minister Ernesto Villegas early on Saturday. His terrible case has been an emblem for official propaganda that has twisted his story and circumstances. Foreign ministry Delcy Rodríguez said that "the opposition's violence and human rights abuses mustn't go unpunished," claiming that Orlando was the victim of racial and political hatred. Defense minister Vladimir Padrino López wrote that he condemns "all the forms of violence caused by anti-ethical politics meant to seize power." The video with the testimony of Orlando's mother revealed by Villegas, was another self-goal for chavismo. Three ministers talked about his case only because it can be attributed to dissidents, that's all you need to know about their concept of justice. None of them have demanded a solution for the rest of the people murdered, wounded and tortured. Lousy polarization won't take away the pain of Orlando's family and friends, au contraire, it just intensifies them. Venezuela cries for justice, not more polarization.
Ombudsman stand-off
Tarek William Saab was interviewed by Mum-Ra's cousin José Vicente Rangel, and took the chance to attack the Prosecutor General, claiming that he wasn't appointed to his office to "behead or implode another Public Power such as the TSJ, because that'd be an institutional coup d'état," as if demanding explanations about ruling 378 (the one that establishes Nicolás's sovereignty) was worse that the ruling itself. Once again, he gave his skewed balance of protests and once again, he focused –in his bet for polarization– on dissident violence, the ban against anonymity (hooded faces) and the inappropriate "use" of children.
Since he's allegedly always spoke about the progressive use of force, he condemns "specific cases of officers violating human rights," as if it was a rare occurrence instead of the norm, while celebrates the ban on rubber pellets, which wounded dozens of people in Montalbán last Thursday.
Saab should watch the interview of former Ombudsman Gabriela Ramírez, in which she claimed that "The rule of law is being dismantled in the context of great political pragmatism (…) probably to preserve power," adding that NGO Foro Penal, and not the Ombudsman's Office, is preparing the report on arrests and the defense of human rights. Ramírez also condemned that a single political party wants to replace the Constitution: "We'd be replacing a Constitution that was debated by all sectors of the country, for a Constitution debated by a single political party, giving support to a single view of the country," rejecting the TSJ's latest rulings as a setback in the country's history and the fact that civilians are being sentenced by military tribunals.
A farce
National Assembly Speaker Julio Borges said on Sunday that the referendum to approve the new Constitution is a farce: "They want to perpetuate the coup d'état that started with the TSJ's rulings, through a communal constituent assembly that has no expiration date, that takes all powers for itself and seeks to destroy not just democracy, but the Prosecutor's Office, the National Assembly, the Armed Forces as we know them and people's will through elections."
Calling Tibisay Lucena's work as unbelievable, shameful and unworthy, he said that the country rejects the Constituyente and that Nicolás is trying to impose it despite knowing that even chavismo disagrees with it. He called the opposition to persist in absolute rebellion against the Constituyente initiative, "let's fight today so we can secure a country forever."
A national sit-in was called for today, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with 15 rallying points set up in Caracas.

Car journeys with kids can be a bit of an endurance test! But not if you are prepared. As a mum of two very active boys I have travelled many hours with them since they were very little. Here are my top 10 tips for happy car travel with kids:
Sign up for our free monthly newsletter stuffed full of ideas, competitions and offers. PS Did we mention it's free?
#1. First things First – Be Prepared for the Worst
No matter what ages the kids, there is nothing worse than not having what you need if a child is sick or unwell when on the road.
Always pack a change of clothes, nappies, some antiseptic wipes, a couple of rubbish bags and a basic first aid kit with paracetamol, ibuprofen etc.
I also tend to put a washcloth stored in a re-sealable plastic bag for each person with a quartered lemon for extra zing and freshness.
You may also find Dealing with childhood accidents & illnesses useful
#2. For Babies and Younger Kids
Install a child view mirror so you can keep an eye on them. Don't forget the sunshades on the rear and side windows so the sun won't irritate them on the road.
#3. Comfort for Little Ones
With car seats make sure the appropriate head supports are in place for when they are napping. I also discovered a trick of tying different baby toys to pieces of string onto the car seats so that toys could be easily retrieved when inevitably flung out several times during the journey!
Recommended Read : Survive the Drive with these 7 Useful Tips
#4. Comfort for Older Kids
Cushions, neck supports and seat belt adjusters make car journeys more comfortable and safer for children too big for car seats.
I encourage my kids to take their pillow with them on long journeys as a familiar comfort.
#5. Be Organised
Hang one of those back seat seat organisers on the driver or passenger seat and fill with toys, games and drinks that the kids can easily access.
You might find 10 Incredibly Useful Parenting Hacks for the Car useful
#6. Entertainment
Audio books and music CDs will help to keep the kids happy and content. I find these particularly good if you have children of a similar age and can ensure you enjoy something as a family while you drive.
#7. Entertainment for Older Kids
Handheld consoles like the Nintendo DS, DVD players and tablet computers are an easy way of keeping children happy on car journeys, as they can watch their favourite shows or play games as you travel.
Just remember to pack several sets of headphones if you have more than one child, otherwise you could find the car gets quite noisy.
We have a splitter that we use for when 2 children want to share the same device, e.g. listen to the same music device, you can plug 2 headphones into it.

#8. Car Games
Play lots of fun car games. Examples of good easy games are:
- Eye-spy (with very flexible rules)
- Who can spot a red/blue/green car/combine harvester, tractor etc.
- Count the bridges
- Can you get any other passengers to wave back?

#9. Take Regular Stops
Stop every two hours to take a break. Apart from avoiding driver fatigue, it's inevitable that everyone gets restless after a while. This allows everyone to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. It also breaks the journey.
You might also enjoy Top tips for Travel with Kids
#10. Pack Some Healthy Snacks
There's something about long car journeys that tends to make everyone feel slightly peckish, so pack some healthy snacks that you know your kids love.
If you'll be travelling over a meal time, why not prepare a picnic and find a grassy spot to stop and enjoy a fun lunch before continuing your journey?

Best Conversion Optimization Practices for Any Business
If you're a business owner, you are more than likely well aware of the role that conversion optimization plays in the success of your business. Even the slightest of increases in your conversion rates can have a dramatic impact on the revenue that you generate from a launch or on-going product sale.
Unfortunately, however, it can be difficult to keep up with the best practices to optimize your conversion rates and generate paying customers.
Let's take a look at a few of the best conversion optimization practices for any business:
Make Things Easy For Consumers
If there is one conversion optimization practice that you should undoubtedly commit to, it is the practice of making things easy for consumers. Whether you want them to sign-up for your email list, read your content, or purchase your product, it is absolutely imperative that you make it easy for them to do so.
The Statistic Brain Research Institute performed a study in 2015 that found that the current average attention span is about 8.5 seconds. That number is 3.5 seconds below what it was as recently as 2000.
But it is no secret that the attention spans of modern day individuals are as short as they have ever been. What does seem to be a secret, however, is what the best methods are for actually grabbing their attention.
The most straight-forward answer to that secret is simple – create short concise copy and make it easy for your consumers to do what you want them to do.
The power of simplification can be astounding. Consider the case study of Underwater Audio. When they made the decision to have their website redesigned to a simpler design structure and test it against their old design that featured excessive wording, they experienced a conversion rate increase of 261%.
While those results are impressive and may seem a bit unrealistic, they do speak to just how much of an effect simplification can have on conversion optimization.
At the end of the day, your main goal for simplifying conversion optimization should be to prevent your visitors from ever having to ask, "So, what do I do next?"
Utilize Videos
The popularization of videos as a conversion optimization tactic has been continually increasing over the years. Businesses are starting to utilize testimonial videos, white board animations, and product overviews to increase the connection between business and consumer.
And it has seen its fair share of positive results.
Fashion retailers saw a 134% increase in conversions when they used videos to show people wearing their product. Similarly, conversions for a fitness product increased by over 45% when they included a video describing their product rather than a page that featured nothing more than a long sales letter.
Need more proof about how powerful video can be?
Consider that, as reported by CrazyEgg, over 70% of people say that they would be more willing to buy a product after viewing a video related to a product. Their site also features a prediction saying that, by 2018, over 75% of all web traffic will be video related.
But how exactly do you go about creating videos that increase conversion optimization?
Well, for one, you should focus on creating simple, concise videos that are done in a conversational tone. CrazyEgg continues in another article about other ways that you can go about creating videos aimed at converting customers.
Create Urgency
One of the biggest mistakes that modern businesses make with the selling of their products deals with a lack of urgency.
Lack of urgency is something that sales legend Zig Ziglar talked about numerous times as one of the five main reasons that a sale is not made. And there is good reason for that.
Think about your own purchasing decisions. If you were an iPhone fan and Apple came out and told you that the new iPhone would be $300 cheaper within the first week, how much more pressed would you feel to buy it now?
Or what if you were a major fan of a certain speaker that is coming to present at a location that only has 200 seats available? How much more urgency would you feel that you need to go and purchase your ticket as soon as they go up for sale?
Marcus Taylor, an entrepreneur who has been featured on TedX, stated that creating urgency for his musician based product actually yielded him an increase in sales of over 326%.
In his article, he talks about the different ways he went about creating urgency while also stating that combining scarcity with urgency can create a very lethal combination.
Utilize Testimonials
This one may seem obvious, but so many businesses are unaware of exactly how to do this.
How many times have you visited a website and seen a testimonial that features 'Molly P. from San Francisco' saying something generic like, "great product, great service"?
How much does that really prove to you about the credibility of that business? More than likely nothing.
Instead, businesses should focus on utilizing the power of images and video for their testimonials. Customers want to see other people, just like them, enjoying the benefits of your product or service.
On top of personalizing your testimonials with images or video, another highly effective strategy is seeking out authority figures to show their support. Being able to show that recognizable names or brands trust you will make it much more likely that new customers will do the same.
Always Be Testing
As UnBounce recently showed, there are several methods that are considered 'best practices' that may not be as effective for conversion optimization as you think.
Gregory Cioffi, the author of the article aimed at debunking best practice myths, goes on to say that nothing is ever universal in the conversion optimization world and, for this reason, everything should be tested regularly.
Whether it is the length of your copy, a debate over word usage, or the utilization of social proof in your offer, testing is the only way to be sure that what you're doing is maximizing your chances for success.
While there are several marketing experts out there that claim to have the definite answer to optimizing your site for conversion, you will truly never know what works best for your business unless you regularly perform tests and properly analyze the results.
Just as sales representatives are familiar with Alec Baldwin's 'always be closing' speech in Glenbarry Glen Ross, marketers should become familiar with the terms 'always be testing'.
The Final Word
Overall, your ability to improve your conversion rates will come down to your willingness to continually test your strategies and improve as a marketer. While there are several other ways that you can go about optimizing your site and generating more conversions, these best practices should serve as a solid guide to get you started.

I had an email from Eddie Brede who is the Habitats & Training Officer for Froglife. He had heard about some Worcester Park Volunteers (he was actually thinking of the 'Worcester Park Station Volunteers' and wondered if we might be interested in some free training in amphibian/reptile identification, ecology and surveying.
When I suggested there may be other people in Worcester Park possibly interested in this, his attitude was 'The more the merrier!'
Eddie told the blog:
"The course would be organised locally (Sutton Ecology Centre), include both classroom/fieldwork, be on a weekend if this suited the group and would be accessible to all; we are not trying to create mini 'David Attenborough's' merely to encourage people from all fields of life to become involved in local conservation. As previously mentioned there would be no cost and the course would be approximately 4-5 hours."The reason it is free is that Froglife see this as a win win situation. We get free training, and they get more people who understand and would be more likely to want to help conserve amphibians and reptiles, which is what their goal is to achieve.
Eddie added that:
"After your training we would hope that some of your group would want to survey wildlife sites (including Carew Manor wetland/Caraway Place/Mayflower Park) in your local borough. This said, there is no obligation to do this and we as an organisation see our training as a 'win-win' scenario either way."If any readers would like to be involved with this and receive some free training as described, please email eddie on firstname.lastname@example.com with "Worcester Park volunteer surveyors course" in the subject line.

Right now I'm involved in two different Dungeons & Dragons games, which will mark me as a geek among the highest order. Which I'm quite proud of, so save your taunts and your barbs 'cause I will ignore them.
In one game, I am the Dungeon Master; I've written previously about that game and it has continued. In fact, we're meeting again next Monday.
Tonight, though, I played in the other group. In this one, I'm a player, rather than running the game. Right now we have a group of five players, though we may be adding another player in the future.
I'll spare you most of the details of the game and world, because I'm sure that listening to other folks describe their adventures is only interesting to a small handful of people. But the DM, Lynn,1 has made some interesting choices. He's using an alternate historical setting, putting us in Europe around 950 C.E., with the additions of standard D&D tropes: magic-users, clerics with spells, elves and dwarves and orcs and goblins. Magic, though, is rare, and controlled by a group that owes ties to the Catholic church; and priests who cast spells and heal by touch are rarer still.
I got involved in the game on the idea that it would be a temporary gig; Lynn was writing a module for sale, and wanted a group to playtest it. So I was handed a character, one I did not create from scratch myself. That being the case, my character began a bit "vanilla" and outside my comfort range, but in playing him I've grown to like him and enjoy trying to put myself into his shoes. He's a straight fighter, a swordsman of vaguely Germanic background, one who values the law and hierarchy and structure, and who gives at least lip service to the demands of the church.
He's also a bit abrasive and tonight I discovered through play that he's a bit of a misogynist, which I thought was a logical attitude for the times and considering his background, but led to a funny/awkward moment tonight when it bumped up against the rather modern ideas of our mixed-gender group.
We were investigating the disappearance of a local old maid who had disappeared, a cook who was renowned for her special herbed butter. When we searched her shack, she was gone, but Aoric, my swordsman, realized that the exotic and foreign herbs and spices were probably worth considerable gold coin, and began stuffing them into a bag. The priest, Father Caelin, and the elven nature-worshipper, Galithean, both admonished me for stealing. To which I replied, honestly if defensively, "It's not stealing. She's a woman."
A shocked silence fell over the group. Including the DM.
I looked to the priest, sure he would agree with me (the player for the priest is well-versed in the historical context, much more than I am, surely he'd get it) but he just stared at me, eyes slitted.
"Oh," I said, "even the priest is giving me the eye. Um, I'm just saving them for the old woman, so we can give them back to her if — I mean when — we find her again." And if we don't, I reasoned, I'll just keep them and sell them.
The priest informed me that even though women couldn't own land, they could still have posessions. In that moment, I had channeled my inner Jayne, and had found the nugget for my character.
Aoric's moment of glory came later, when he dealt the death-blow to the Italian mercenary who had been hired to ambush and kidnap the Margrave's son. It's the first and so far most satisfying critical hit I've rolled since I took up playing again.
But I'd promised not to regale you with tales of the game. The major point I wanted to make, before wandering off into storytelling, was that after each game, whether I'm running the game or playing in it, I am refreshed. I'm laughing, I forget my troubles, I feel as though I'm connecting to the other players, and my mind is always filled with plans and memories. It's amazing to me how energized I always feel for at least the next day or two.
I like playing, but it's more than that. I like telling stories, but it's more than that, too. The accomplishments are minor compared to the rest of my life, but I think being in a small party of like-minded folk, as opposed to being in a social gathering of strangers with nothing in common, is the circumstance under which I flourish. This is my favorite kind of interaction, and it makes me very happy.
1 In the game I DM, we have a player whose name is Lynn and she's female. In the game I'm a player, the DM's name is Lynn, and he's male. I've messed up emails by sending them to the wrong Lynn before. It's mildly embarrassing.

One of the hardest things to do is admit defeat. No one likes to lose no matter what the situation is. This is especially true when it comes to keyword choices.
Clients look to seo professionals to guide them in the right direction and helping in the keyword selection process. But like all things in life, sometimes no matter how much you might want it, things just don't work out.
So, how can you tell when it's time to move on?
If the keyphrase has been number one in Google for more than three months and little to no traffic arrives at your site. You need to retain the position that long in order to rule out seasonality of the phrase in question
If your site is getting traffic from that phrase but is not converting – a sure sign that your keyword is not right for your target audience
Your site doesn't receive any halo effect phrase traffic. Words and phrases directly stemmed from your original phrase that deliver quality traffic
Never let the emotion of having a number ranking in Google determine your next move. While it might look great to some that you have a top ranked phrase, most smart business people would prefer a highly converting profitable phrase instead!
Until next time…

The Senator and the Priest
Prolific author and priest Greeley (Irish Crystal ) stumbles with this story of a liberal Catholic senator from Illinois who bursts onto the national political stage. Thomas Patrick Moran first attracts attention when he announces his candidacy for a state assembly seat, vowing never to run anything negative about his opponent or ask anyone for a contribution. After his crusade catches fire, the local Democratic machine enlists him to run for the Senate. That successful campaign is marked by numerous attempts on his life that are foiled, in a silly and unnecessary subplot, by his youngest daughter's psychic premonitions of danger. While Moran debates some serious political and moral issues with his conservative priest brother, Tony, Greeley's hagiographic portrait of Moran, complete with details of his sex life with his stunning wife, leaves no doubt where the author's sympathies lie. Even longtime fans may be disappointed. (Nov.)

FRUITSTOCK Day 2
If you thought Day 1 of FRUITSTOCK was exciting, Day 2 was insane! With the social activities and partying behind us, we set out to try and match the tremendous effort of Day 1 and we did.
Over 6,000 lbs of fresh free grapefruits were added to the 5,000 lbs of oranges and in case you think it was all work and no play, you haven't yet been made aware of the incredible graciousness of our host Chuck Berney. He not only shared with us a bounty of his orchard but took all of our volunteers out for a wonderful lunch.
This day marked the debut of the FOOD FORWARD "production line" movement of the grapefruits from the trees to the truck. I'm not saying there aren't kinks to be worked out, but what a way to improve on our productivity. A big thanks to all of our tremendous volunteers who helped in extending the excitement generated in Day 1 to the finale in day 2.
Describing the day would not be complete without a special thanks to Fred Summers at SOVA for all his hard work and his family who helped us make this day the success it was!

What's not to like about a boxing movie that has Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in the lead roles with the delectable Amy Adams supporting?
Sure, the plot is pretty predictable and follows the same loose format that every boxing movie since Rocky does (down and out boxer gets his ass handed to him, struggles with internal and external conflict, sorts his shit out, trains like a beast and starts kicking serious ass) but the bottom line here is that, in one simple sentence, Bale MAKES this movie.
He might be a total asshole is real life, but holy shit the man can act, and watching him portray "Irish" Micky Ward's (Wahlberg's) manic, crack-addled brother Dicky in the movie is nothing short of mesmerising.
Mark Wahlberg is no slouch in this movie either and brings that same instantly likeable charm to the screen that he does in nearly every movie he's ever starred in. It's just a pity his character doesn't have the same depth to him that Bale's does, but conversely, if he did it could very well have diverted from Bale's killer performance, which would have in turn affected the movie's overall impact.
Wahlberg gets the job done and does it well. He's also flippin' MASSIVE AND RIPPED in this movie which is pretty lekker charna cause a oke who KLAPS IT is a pretty kief guy in my books hey boychay?
Amy Adams also does a decent job of playing Charlene, Wahlberg's love interest in the movie and somehow manages to walk that fine line between getting you to like her and getting you to think she's a total bitch at the same time. The scenes where she goes up against Wahlberg's seven trashy sisters are highly entertaining as are the sisters themselves who seem to spend their lives slouching around their mom's house judging people.
Bale deserved the Best Supporting Oscar for this one because of his flawless portrayal of a character type he's never done before. His loose, goofy acting style and the fact that he lost so much weight for this movie are both testament to this man's incredible ability to literally become a completely different person.
I'd highly recommend checking this film out if you're a fan of Bale's work or if you're in the mood for a feel-good story about an underdog with a lot of heart who literally fights his way through life and ultimately wins.
Final Verdict: 8/10

Course overview
If you want to take a broad approach to your learning, you can enrol on our MSc Global Health. This approach offers you a thorough grounding in this multidisciplinary field and you can later decide to specialise your studies if you wish.

You can also choose to study for one of our two PgCert qualifications in Applied Social Development and Health in Fragile and Conflict-Affected States. These can be a good option if you have time, work or other commitments that would conflict with studying for a full master's.

PgCert Applied Social Development
This PgCert will be of interest if you want to work in social development, and wish to examine community-based strategies for enhancing health and wellbeing of a population. This includes local health planners, community health staff, health promoters and community workers addressing health improvement.
The course focuses on analysing the relationship between gender, health and development; identifying the many opportunities and constraints related to the social development of a community; appraisal of the impact of such opportunities and constraints on a planned health project or programme; and the effective planning and implementation of health and social interventions.

Jimi Hendrix is one of music's legendary artists. The singer, songwriter, and guitarist was ahead of his time with his music. His experimental sound made a mark in music history. Although he was classified in the Rock genre, his music was heard all over. Aside from creating amazing tunes, he was a genius with the electric guitar. His rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock in '69 was epic. That was easily his best and most memorable performance.
He has a bevy of songs, projects, and albums that play a major part in music. When people began sampling, many of his albums were used to create other hits. Artists like the Pharcyde, Beastie Boys, and Cypress Hill are amongst a few of the people who sampled his sound. Check out some of the clips below to see which songs have that Hendrix sample. This is a great way to pay homage to such talent on what would have been his birthday. Happy Birthday Jimi!
Jimi's song 'Are You Experienced' was sampled by The Pharcyde for Passin' Me By
'Little Miss Lover' was used by A Tribe Called Quest for Scenario
'Purple Haze' was sampled by Method Man and Redman for 'How High'
'Fire' was used by Rick Ross for The World is Ours Ft Pharrell, Meek Mill & Stalley
Remember was used by N.W.A. for Alwayz Into Somethin'
