- Articles of High Misdemeanor exhibited against
the Governor & Company of Massachusetts
- They don't follow orders according to the Charter & often exceed them
- They made laws repugnant to those of England & when those have been pointed out, they did not repeal them as they said they would
- They continue to tax non-freemen
- They continue to make residents pledge an oath of fidelity to them & not to the King, despite being told not to do so
- They've refused civil trials
- They've obstructed the execution of the Acts of Trade & Navigation. They refuse even to recognize many of them. They've interfered with them & even gone out of their way to avoid them or abuse them
- They impose tariffs on goods coming from England – found previously to be illegal but they continue to do it
- They've opposed the King's commissioners despite their claims of loyalty. They've claimed their General Court to be the supreme court of the Colony. They received Goffe & Whalley, assassins of King Charles I, with honor & protection
- They have not administered the oath of allegiance to the King to the inhabitants as required by law & their charter
- They've invaded the rights of the Duke of York, Lord High Admiral, by establishing their own Admiralty Court
- They put down & discourage members of the Church of England, forcing them attend their own congregations at pain of penalty
- They coin their own money
- They've committed loads of other crimes in
contempt of the King. Agents of the King have not been allowed to execute their
- I suggest we find more information on the specific instances of these charges

I sometimes feel like being an artist is quite frightening (when I'm not worried it's totally indulgent) for so many reasons, especially as it's something that I didn't ever decide, but was rather heaved upon my shoulders by the world, held together with wax, and without my prior consultation wholly commanded my life and thrust me, in spite of any… Read more →

On Cleaving and Collapse
Reflecting upon the deep collective work done at Magical/Radical, I've been thinking, as I do, all the time it seems, about cleaving – and about togetherness, and what it's going to take – what it's really going to take for us to individually and collectively midwife this time of collapse. And I've been thinking about having an online business,… Read more →
Wild Mothering
WILD MOTHER It's a strange thing to find oneself called "mother" when one has lived decades child-free not just by choice but by design. Biologically, I am no mother, having no uterus, having never given birth, having never even been pregnant. Moreover, I've never wanted a mother identity. It was less of a "choice" and more of an "orientation." … Read more →
On My Teaching
"The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves." ― Paulo Freire I never went to art school. I never studied with any "masters" unless… Read more →
White Ladies Finding Themselves Sisterhoods
Our sisterhoods need to evolve. They're so often a slurry of cultural appropriation, spiritual bypassing, neoliberalism, multilevel marketing, and random woo punctuated by various signals of authority, virtue and performative vulnerability from their leaders. We can do better.
New Work at Extracto
I created a series of new paintings for a show at Extracto in NE Portland, which honestly didn't come easily as it's been a time of deep sorrow and grief for me – and I think for so many – that I had to dig pretty deep to come up with pieces that I didn't want to put in a fire… Read more →

Signs of Solidarity
Last week a bunch of women (several I've only "met" on Instagram) gathered at my home to make some art that could be printed and posted in response to the racist, xenophobic and hateful rhetoric becoming increasingly common in the wake of the election.

The End Of My DreamCatcher Career
I posted this recently on my Facebook page(s) but wanted to elaborate a bit here, especially about cultural appropriation, which is so much more than something people fight about on Tumblr.

Expert Linda Lee says:
The morning class is a round table discussion where we discuss general questions such as; domain names, hosting, websites, and what you need to get started.
What is the difference between all these things? What should they cost me? What domain names should I buy and where?
Why do I need all of this to have a website?
This is a beneficial few hours for many people. You can ask me any questions you like.
I have a presentation and hand-out with all the important facts you need to know.
It is common for people to not understand exactly how this all works. It can be quite confusing.
This is a warm and informative environment to learn. There are no silly questions here.
This class is very affordable! Click the link below to sign up and read more details if you are interested.
The afternoon class is an actual hands-on WordPress (WP) training class.
Once you sign up, I will be sending your own WP test site. This is your site to use for the class, and to practice on for 90 days.
This also includes some short videos, I will send you, showing you how to login and give you a bit of the basics, before the class.
Just some of what we will be covering will include: blogging, writing a good search engine optimized article, what is search engine optimization and why do you need it? What is the difference between a page and a post? Do I have to blog?
You will learn how to correctly add images and name them. All the parts of the dashboard and back end.
Even if you have been using your website, this is a great place to learn more and refresh what you already know.
After each section of the hands on presentation, we have a Q&A.
At the end of the training, Mary E. Knippel, a writing coach, former journalist and editor, will discuss with you:
writing posts, blogging, how to stay motivated, how to tap into your creative side and ongoing ideas for your website.
Sometimes we just run out of steam, and Mary will help you dig into that creative mind we all have.

Tuesday's Torch
By: Tim Sader
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17)
I'd like to say thanks to my friend Bobby for writing the torch last week while I was on my honeymoon. He wrote about blind Bartimaeus calling out to Jesus even when the crowd tried to shut him up. When Jesus healed him He told him to go thy way; Bartimaeus could have went and seen everything he couldn't see but instead it says immediately he followed Jesus. Would we do the same if God granted us our desires? Christ told him to go his way because he had the right to choose for himself what to do. Christ would not have been mad at him if he didn't immediately follow Him but after experiencing the power of God he used his liberty to follow Jesus. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty and it is the state of being free. Christ granted us this freedom so we could choose to do what we want to do. Even though He loves us all; some of us will go our own way and do what we want to do. When we use our freedom to follow his instructions we will truly have liberty because we are doing what the Spirit would have us doing (Psalm 119:45). Where His Spirit is, is where true freedom can be found. Ten days ago I married the love of my life because she is the one I want to be with. I have the liberty to be a good or a not so good spouse as all married people get to do. Good spouses have a good marriage with fewer problems because they treat their significant other the way that they should. If we are angry, selfish or jealous all the time we will probably end up in the court room or in constant stress. Freedom isn't always easy but done the right way we can enjoy its fruit.
We have been called to the liberty we find in Jesus Christ; not so we would use our freedom to satisfy the flesh but so that in love we'd serve each other. All the law is fulfilled in love so we should love our neighbor like we love ourselves (Galatians 5:13-14). We must stand strong in the liberty which Christ has given to us and not be entangled again in the bondage of sin (Galatians 5:1). If we only hear the word but don't do it we are like a man who looks in a mirror and goes away and forgets what he looks like. If we look into the perfect law of liberty, continue in it and not forget what we hear but do the work are blessed indeed (James 1:23-25). It is the will of God that in doing good we put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. As free we should not use our liberty as a cloak for malicious behavior but to be servants of God (1 Peter 2:15-16). Liberty is a great thing but many times it is misused even by Christians who should know how to act. We must be careful not to let our freedom be a stumbling block to the weak (1 Corinthians 8:9). We cause others to stumble when we miss behave and do things that the weak might be lead astray to do. Sometimes now a day you can stand a Christian and non-Christian side by side and observe their lives and you will see no difference. When the world sees a Christian not acting like a Christian it is a bad witness to the Lord. Why would they want to change when they see no change? Sometimes we even use our beliefs as a stumbling block when we judge others and don't offer them the freedom Christ offered us. It is the Holy Spirit who calls men to repent it is our job to live our life like we know Christ and to share His love by serving others. Christ is our example, He taught us righteous living with His life so we teach others with our doing good. Christ freed us all so we should offer freedom to others so they want to choose Him and because they see His benefit in us who used our liberty to choose Him.

We have accepted the opportunity for Tuesday's Torch to be in Redeemed the Magazine for prisoners. The founder and author of Tuesdays Torch Tim Sader, has spoken in church and has several will be looking for future speaking engagements soon. We pray the words of every Torch will sink into the hearts and minds of readers. Please share Tuesdays Torch and encourage others with it. Recently we partnered with leisurelane.wordpress.com please check it out and send them some love. Any ministries or blogs that would like to partner with Tuesdays Torch please let us know. We pray the Lord will touch every reader. All of what Christ did was so we would believe. He told us not to believe because of what He said but in what He did (John 14:11). Every Tuesday we talk a little more about what He did and what He is still doing. The best thing God ever done was send His Son so we could be saved (John 3:16). If anyone is not a believer we pray they will meet the Lord. If anyone wants to make Jesus their Savior send a message to: firstname.lastname@example.com and we will pray together. Look out for next Tuesdays Torch on our website, by email, on Facebook as Tuesdays Torch or Twitter @tuesdaystorch Thanks and God Bless!
No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. Luke 8:16

I love knees – they are simple, honest joints that work hard for us and tell us when they are not happy. Very few people get through life without ever having sore knees and many unfortunate folks suffer painful knees on a daily basis.
And knee pain is horrible. It is often enough for people to stop doing things that they love – running, hill walking, dancing, even yoga – but this does not have to be the case. Most sore knees will feel better if they are used and kept strong and mobile. In fact, as a physiotherapist, I regularly see patients that can get back to being pain-free after a period of rehabilitation based on stretching and strengthening. The secret is that knees love to be used and love to be worked – rest and avoiding things SO is not the answer. And the really good news? Yoga IS the answer. (more…)

Man of the match Max makes all the difference
PUBLISHED: 14:48 12 July 2017 | UPDATED: 14:48 12 July 2017
Clevedon top order batsman Max Curtis scored 92 not out to help the Seasiders to a narrow victory over Frocester.
Clevedon 228-8
Frocester 219
Piers McBride snr on the road again
I can't go on watching Clevedon, it's doing my head in. At my age all this tension, stress and anxiety cannot be doing me any good, but yet again I found myself drawn into witnessing another nail-biting conclusion to a match which had a large audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
Once again, Jake Lintott and his merry men contrived to spin straw into gold, but there was little evidence of such a glorious victory when Clevedon's fragile top order caved in in pretty spectacular fashion once again.
Pace bowlers Perera (2-26) and Martin (2-36) bowled unchanged in tandem for 20 well directed overs at the end of which the visitors found themselves fumbling around at 77-6.
Standing alone among the debris was young Max Curtis, who had watched in amazement from the other end while all around him perished. The classy youngster was totally at ease throughout the early bombardment and it was rather like watching England bat at one end with Brick Street Mission 3rd X1 at the other.
Max found the perfect partner in the unflappable Jake Rowe and gradually the momentum began to shift. The pair added 81 before Jake left for 39, including five fours, and Tabish Khan (13), then kept Max company in a stand of 29 for the eighth wicket.
With just two and a half overs to go, Matt Carpenter arrived at the crease and he launched two massive sixes and a couple of fours, 22 not out from just nine deliveries, while the imperturbable Curtis also cleared the boundary twice during the final over.
It was certainly Max's unbeaten 92, seven fours and two sixes, which lifted his side out of the doldrums, but full credit also to numbers eight, nine and 10 who played vital roles while adding 151 runs.
Carpenter took an early wicket and bowled his massive heart out while reeling of his 10 overs for just 27 runs, but Clevedon's attack looked pretty frail at the other end. Matt cleaned bowled the dangerous Qureshi for 27, but at 74-2 the home side appeared well set.
The innings stalled briefly when skipper Lintott picked up two wickets, but with the score at 206-6 with four overs remaining the smart money was all on Frocester.
Andrew Solomons had lynchpin Wand caught behind for 44 and then left-arm spinner Masoor Khan (3-33), held his nerve to snare the last three wickets with little or nothing to spare.
And so we move on to Saturday when table-topping Bath will turn up on Dial Hill for a game which might well decide the destiny of this season's championship title. With both teams boasting played 10 won nine records, the visitors will be out to reverse the lone defeat suffered at the hands of Clevedon at the start of this campaign.
Bath are considered to be cricketing royalty throughout the Premier League and it is certain that, in their honour, Dial Hill will be looking its best when the toss takes place. Saturday's match begins at 12.30pm.
Premier One League standings, all played 10: Bath 188 pts; Clevedon 173; Bristol 128; Potterne 124; Downend 121; Bridgwater 119; Frocester 116; Lechlade 109; Bedminster; Corsham 97.

So the "Great Ugly Knit Upcycle Challenge" ended last Sunday. I knew I wanted to do something so I cut up a few old ill-fitting t-shirts. But there they sat, in a cluttery pile on my table, for days just taunting me "You'll never think of something cool to do with us!" But I sure showed them!
|Thing 1
|Thing 2
|New beautiful throw pillow that matches my new(ish) duvet cover!
|Look at those cool rolled up framing borderlines!
|What's that you say? You like the butterfly pillow too? More on that later, my pretties.
Just ignore the hideous Euro-shams because right now they are more Euro-trash than shams. I am still in the very slow process of decorating my bedroom.
I am calling this the "Snowflake Method" (for obvious reasons.) This is very similar to the way you make this. Tutorial on this very soon!

Newspaper Tears I have known or Which Newspaper Tear to Perform?
I posted a subject concerning The Famous Razor Blade Trick some time ago, it got good response from the members, so I thought I would continue with the Classic Newspaper Tear. Not many magicians do a newspaper tear, so maybe this will help someone considering this trick and decide on a version to add to their shows. They are not listed in any special order.
1.) Alan Shaxon Newspaper Tear – published in his lecture notes, and on page 4, in his book "Practical Sorcery", under the title "Tearing up the news" page 4, George Schlinder also publishes it in a manuscript he wrote with his presentation ideas. There was also a trik-a-tape video adding a liquid vanish and production to the newspaper tear. This uses a tabloid size newspaper. The advantage to this newspaper tear is that the final flash restoration does not have all the fold marks as in many other newspaper tears. The prepared newspaper can be used for several performances if desired, and you have extra duplicate newspapers. This tear is similar to the Elmsley Newspaper Tear, but there is no gluing of a packet.
2.) Pat Page 10 Second Newspaper Tear – published in a manuscript form Magic Inc. It is also on a video of Pat Page Stage Magic. It has been published in Trik-a-Tape audiocassette. This uses a tabloid size newspaper. The advantage of this newspaper tear is that there is no fold crease marks and it only takes 10 seconds to prepare. Sort of a really simple preparation for performing the Shaxon and Elmsley tears. Not exactly, but it has some of the same mythology in the presentation. This also has a flash restoration. Reasonably priced.
3.) Al Koran Newspaper Tear – published in the Ganson Manipulation series book. This is the version the Anderson newspaper tear got the idea for the flash restoration.
4.) Al Baker Newspaper Tear – This is a single sheet torn and restored newspaper, similar to the Slydini newspaper Tear.
5.) Alex Elmsley Newspaper Tear – Published in his book The Collected Works of Alex Elmsley Vol. 1., page 157, and was published in a separate manuscript years ago and sold by Tannen Magic. Also published in the book "The Uncanny Scott" by Ron Wilson, page 135, under the title "Slow-Motion Newspaper" Tear, he leaves out a fold that makes the opening easier when compared to the original. This is a torn and restored newspaper in tabloid size as well. This effect can be presented as a flash restoration; the books suggest that the section-by-section restoration is more magical. So try it both ways and decide for yourself.
6.) Gene Anderson Newspaper Tear – Published in a manuscript by Magic Inc. and in their book "Newspaper Magic". Video versions are on DVD from Stevens Magic. When this hit the magic scene it was hailed as the best in ever invented. Everyone was actually doing a newspaper tear and it was the Anderson Newspaper Tear. This can use a full size newspaper, but today, that size has been shrinking, but it still can be performed with the new sizes. Not much to say about this, as a trick it is near perfect. The late Johnny Brown from Texas published his method to do an immediate repeat of the trick. The only notable weaknesses is the final fold before the restoration and of course the lengthy preparation necessary. Many formats available , reasonably priced.
7.) Slydini Newspaper Tear – Published in his book "The Magic of Slydini" page 201, originally published by Harry Stanley, London, England. L&L publication has republished this book with added notes. This is a single sheet newspaper tear, set-up similar to the Al Baker newspaper tear. There has been some discussion that this has a flash restoration, but according to the printed book, Slydini restored the sheet section by section. Tannen Magic sold the manuscript for years and I believe they still do.
8.) Karroll Fox Newspaper Tear – Published by Magic Inc., in manuscript form with photographs on glossy sheets included. This is a single sheet newspaper tear. I would say that a jacket with a outside breast pocket is required to perform this Foxy Tear. It works and is simple to set up. Reasonably priced.
9.) Neil Foster Center Tear – Published by Abbott Magic Co., with prepared tabloid newspapers. This is a single sheet tabloid size newspaper. The newspaper is folded in 4ths and the center torn away creating a diamond shape. The center torn into smaller pieces and inserted into the folded newspaper. The newspaper is opened and the center has returned or restored to its original position. I have performed this for over 40 years and it always gets gasps from the audience. Lance Burton featured this in his dove act. Marconic has published this in his hardbound book; the only difference I can see is he tore out a larger diamond shape. Can easily be constructed or you can purchase additional supplies from Abbott Magic. Reasonably priced.
10.) Robert Baxt Better Newspaper Tear – Have no experience with this effect. Mixed reviews have been published on this effect. Super expensive.
11.) Axel Hacklau's Newsflash – looks great on his video at this sight. The latest big hot thing in the magic community, don't own it so cannot comment if all the problems people are venting are accurate or not, seems they cannot convert the folds to the newer American shrinking newspaper sizes. Super expensive.
12.) Foolzum Newspaper Tear – marketed by U.F. Grant years ago, never purchases so cannot comment of this single sheet torn and restored newspaper. Not currently on the market. If anyone has these instructions would like to have a copy.
13.) Tony Stevens No Tear Torn and Restored Newspaper – marketed by Mark Mason. A simple solution to no preparation and an easy flash restoration. Takes the puzzlement out of the trick, like why is this guy tearing up a newspaper. Outside of that, it is a good effect.
14.) Andrew Mayne Tear Down – Marketed by Andrew Mayne. Watch the video on his site and that is it. I think is not as good as other versions. Some like the signed feature, but I see it as, sign this sheet and I will tear up this sheet. Has a week point for ditching the pieces with a magic marker. Reasonably priced.
15.) Joel Bauer Trade Show Torn and Restored Newspaper – don't own it but many say it is the Elmsley Newspaper Tear, if I remember correctly. Most magicians that have it, really like this version.
16.) Max Londono Ultimate Newspaper Tear by Tannen Magic – can't believe this is still on the market, from the early 1980's, comes with a wooden block with nails instead of a dress makers wheel, an interesting set up. Been so long, I forgot method and what I liked and didn't like about it. Single sheet torn and restored newspaper.
17.) Paul Potassy's The Newspaper Tear – published in his book The Magic of Paul Potassy, page 99, and in his DVD set published by L&L Publication, and on the World's Greatest Magic DVD on newspaper magic. This is with the comedy explaination as in the old torn and restored napkin trick. False explanation that leads the audience on a journey.
Magic Makers Inc. has put together a DVD of Torn and Restored Newspaper effects, I have to laugh at there not tear method, it should be called the vanishing paper clips trick, but if you cause the paper clips to fall to the floor will solve that notable error.
L&L Publications has put out a compilation of Torn and Restored Newspaper effects as well, as part of their World's Greatest Magic collection.
The Torn and Restored Newspaper is a classic in magic and I believe every magician should use a version in their acts. It is always good to have some really funny lines read as articles in the newspaper, just as you begin tearing each section.
During my writing this I found this blog on the Café: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......&start=0
Well, that is the versions of this classic in magic I know about, if you have any others, please list and give any thoughts on the ones you are familiar with in your work.

Very nice collection ! Thank you very much for this homework.
It's always difficult to choose a particular routine. With this list we all can now make a little pre-choice.
This might help me to find a version perfect for my show. It's not easy, since I always try to find a reason, why to present something and why to do something in certain way, like tearing up a newspaper, only to restore it a few moments later.
Thanks again.

What a great list! Thank you for putting it together. My favorite will always be the Slydini version. Mainly because Tony himself taught me a number of things at 2 different conventions back in the 70's. One of which was his critique of my handling of his newspaper tear. I was so nervous showing the legend himself HIS newspaper tear, you couldn't hear my patter over the paper shaking... His advice I take to heart to this day... "Slow down, relax and SMILE"
Thanks for this great list!

Hi wmhegbli. I think you're missing the Robert Harbin version ("The Demon Torn Newspaper") which is nifty, originally published in "Demon Magic" by Davenports, I saw it in "Early Harbin" (page 242).
Here he is performing it on video:
Contrary to some other posts I've seen on the Café, it doesn't have to be done sitting down. He's just sitting down to provide the motivation for tearing the newspaper - sitting on a crowded train. There may be another Harbin newspaper tear that requires a seated position, but this one definitely doesn't. This video looks to be performed using the "Demon Torn Newspaper" method. Of course, Harbin is so good that the exact method isn't clear...

I really, really have been enchanted by the Andrew Mayne/Jim Steinmeyer "Tear Down"
it is surprising, very clean, fairly easy to master.
I've had fantastic reactions from audiences, and it was time tested over our six month run of the Magic Parlor.
Yes the Gene Anderson is the top of the line, if you're willing to put the time and energy into prep, but this is for me a close second.

Bill, you are wrong on the weak point for Andrew's Tear down...This is one of the effects that I do and it blows them away. So don't under estimate it..

Terry, I would not say I am wrong, I just don't like having to hold a marker during the whole time it takes to tear the newspaper, then use the pen as a reason to ditch.
I also don't like, here sign this page, and I will fold it so you all can't see the page you marked and I will tear up this paper.
Sorry, I just don't like the motivation behind these 2 parts of the effect.
If you and other like it, that is fine, I don't. The reason I posted this is so magicians can pick what they do like and work with it.
Volto, I did forget Harbin Newspaper Tear, but the only reference I have is an out of print Harbin Book where he discribes his illusions. Way back then it was $100. It came with a contract that the owners could not reveal anything in the book for so many years, been so long I cannot remember the details.
If your references are currently available through dealers, then good, it is another offering of the effect.
Thanks for your comments so far, did I miss any other Newspaper Tears?

The spectator did not sign the page when we performed.
The actor/magician said he was "awful with names" then jotted it on the paper himself to keep the spectator's "name in his mind."
We did not use a marker either, we used an antique letter opener
(which also cut the paper) belonging to Mark Twain.
We thought far outside the box and it had a killer reaction.
Another two-cents,

I have to give a plug for Axel's newspaper tear. It is superior to Gene Anderson's tear. It's faster, more natural, more flashy, more impressive, and superior in every other way to Gene's tear. Have you seen it?
Don't get me wrong, I've performed the Anderson newspaper tear for years and love it, but Axel's Newsflash is far better.
Okay, it is priced a little high, but that's fine for me, it means less magicians performing it! Also, there's a little fine-tuning to do with American-sized newspapers, I think, but that's a small issue.
Great post, Wmhegbli, thanks for your work!
Best Wishes!

Another one to add would be :
Jarle Leirpoll's "The almost Ultimate Newspaper Trick" in his booklet called "Pocket Power".
It's based on Gene Anderson's Newspaper Tear and adds the "Water in News" effect in the beginning of the routine. He called it "the almost ulitmate...", since the perfect one for him would have been to pour water in a borrowed newspaper, tear it up, restore it and pour the water back out again. But until now he couldn't come up with his own version of Alan Shaxon routine with the natural moves and the method to suceed.

I've found another one :
Fielding West's Torn & restored Newspaper : It's a single sheet version and appears in his DVD set "Fielding West's Comedy Magic Magic Show".

On the Harbin tear, the book I saw it in is in print and widely available. It's a two book set, available from many dealers, containing the books "Early Harbin" and "Harbincadabra". Two hardbound books; very good quality. The material is excellent; there are lots of laugh-out-loud clever methods in there. It's mostly stage/parlor, but there's a bit of close-up too.
"Early Harbin" contains the book "Demon Magic", which is also available second-hand.

I've found those two books as set aswell on the internet. Quite expensive, even though it must be a big source of magic.
I've found Early Harbin on ebay, but I can't believe that it cost only £4.25 since it's an old book. Do you think it is the right one, since it doesn't give a lot of information to find out what's in there ?

Sounds suspicious. The books I have are a two-volume hardbound set in a slip case that retails for $120. You could pay four pounds just in postage for it; it's a heavy set.
That said, "Demon Magic" (the original book that's reprinted in "Early Harbin") looks like it's available on a few secondhand book sites very cheap; $10 or so. You have to be careful, since there's a Davenports catalog that is also titled "Demon Magic". Make sure it's "By Robert Harbin". Aside from the newspaper tear, "Demon Magic" has a bunch of inventive gaffed stage stuff.
But please be careful on auction sites...!

I have combined the Robert Baxt version with the "No Tear". You just need to aquire two of the little gimmicks, make sure as powerful as possible. The newspaper is prepared as the Anderson fold.
You can tear this up into strips and then squares, and restore it immediately, just like the Anderson version without the lengthy setup.
PM me if you would like more information on how to set this up.

I've been doing Joel Bauer Trade Show Torn and Restored Newspaper for the last 15 years. It's worth it to find it.
Easy reset of the restoration gaff is why I like it.

After a lot of research on the Café, I went with the Gene Anderson... It's great to end up clean. Then I tried the Axel's tear and I think its better for me...
Lately I'm not having a adult shows, I think I'll stick with the Gene Anderson Tear for showmanship purposes in adult shows. "You remember this page, and you this one, etc." and in the end you can show them all.
For the kids show the Axel version is great, eye candy!
My dad has a lot of shows (kids shows)... a LOT, he performed the Joel Bauer version because of the quick reset.

This past season, the ice at Staples Center came right out of the arena's air. Or at least the water for that ice did. The Kings spent the year piloting climate control tech made by a company called BluEco Technology Group that cleans and dries air, producing water as a byproduct. That water was then used to build the rink, instead of turning to municipal water supplies.
On Thursday, BluEco, the Kings, and the hockey franchise's owners, AEG, announced that partnership. According to the companies, the ice produced from BluEco's water has fewer impurities than tap water, and thus produces a harder playing surface.
"Through our partnership with BluEco, we have introduced an innovative technology that addresses the two most critical issues facing hockey franchises and venue owners: the quantity of water needed to create ice sheets and the quality of the ice that forms," said AEG President and CEO Dan Beckerman in a statement.
A large amount of water is needed to build and maintain the sheet of ice games are played on. Using BluEco's LCT system saved hundreds of thousands of gallons of water over 2017-18, which is particularly relevant in drought-stricken California.
"Innovative technologies like BluEco allow our Clubs to 'test and learn' around creative solutions that will not only result in greater efficiencies, but can represent sustainable access to our sport," said Kim Davis, executive vice president of social impact, growth and legislative affairs at the NHL.
SportTechie Takeaway
When climate control systems cool air, water will condense out. That is why air conditioners often seem to drip. The water is theoretically clean, or as clean as rainwater might be, but usually is wasted. BluEco's idea to substitute that waste water for municipal water is a simple but smart way to reduce a hockey rink's environmental impact.

Selling to consumers has become tougher than ever. Technology allows the consumer to know more about a brand. It also offers several different ways to communicate its value in unique ways but the battle to win over the 'distracted' consumer presents a plethora of challenges.
Research shows that only five percent of the brain represents what people consciously process and traditional market research can access. The remaining 95 percent is a game of the subconscious. This is where neuromarketing has become of interest to marketers.
As a concept, neuromarketing isn't new even though most of its application in marketing is still in its infancy stage. While it helps advertisers to gain insights by measuring facial movement, brain waves, heart rate, skin response, body movement and even respiration to score responses among other things, there is still some time before mass utility of neuromarketing is seen.
Various players are working to change this, and one of the agencies at the forefront of utilizing this technology, is Dentsu and its neural technology arm, Dentsu Science Jam.
As a communications agency, Dentsu helps its clients with big data, social listening, and qualitative and quantitative primary research, as well as neuromarketing tools that identify drivers of consumer behavior.
In a conversation with Arabian Marketer, Kei Shimada, Global Director of Innovation and Business Development at Dentsu said, "We have a propriety technology that assists us in neuromarketing. Our technology allows us to analyze brain waves, and helps brands gain deeper insight from people's subconscious. We can quantify and visualize five emotions including likes, interests, stress, concentration and calmness."
One of the issues for marketing professionals today is the possibility of flawed and unreliable data coming from traditional forms of data gathering such as focus group discussions or field data, when a consumer provides verbal and intentional feedback. The subconscious mind on the other hand never lies. "When we do focus interviews for marketing, we can ask the right questions but people can be unreliable. They can give incorrect responses. But if we can monitor people's sub-consciousness and grab their emotions, we gain deeper insights that are invaluable. It's a major technology that is up and rising already," he explained.
Dentsu's advice to the industry at large is to understand the significance of converging and co-existing technologies. "At the Dentsu Innovation Network, we have 10 labs for artificial intelligence, biometrics, drones, outer space, AR, VR and more. These are areas that we all have to be aware of. However, knowing just one is not going to help us. It is the convergence of these technologies that eventually creates the relevant offering that matter for the consumer."
Technologies may be residing in silos up until now, but they have begun to merge to form newer solutions. Mr Shimada singles this out as one of the key trends over the next couple of years that will lead to many new opportunities applying to all aspects of businesses.
He is also bullish on the role that the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region can play in growing some of the new tech led solutions.
Pointing specifically to Dubai, Mr Shimada said, "While every region is unique, Dubai is the melting pot of many different cultures. It's multinational, multicultural and very different from other markets. It is also a nicely sized market, not too big not too small. Clients are very keen on innovation and there is constant demand for accessing the latest technology here. I see this region and this market as the perfect ground to test marketing, for utilizing new technology and creating an offering that we can scale. As with the Hyperloop for example, the market is at the forefront of testing new technologies. This is one reason why it is always very interesting to see how things shape up here."

It Ain't So, Colorado Tells Drug Counselor
DENVER (CN) – For 10 years, Gary Peters has deceived customers in three Colorado cities by claiming that drug and alcohol counseling at his Essex Growth Centers will "fulfill the terms of probation, parole and/or the conditions of a deferred judgment and sentence," the State of Colorado says. It ain't so, the attorney general says in Denver County Court. Essex operates out of Denver, Englewood and Centennial.

While Liverpool prepare to welcome back a star centre-back in Joel Matip, Southampton could be about to lose one of their own with Virgil van Dijk supposedly a doubt for tomorrow night's game.
The Dutch defender was instrumental in his side's 1-0 win in the semi-final first leg but could miss out on the second meeting as a result of an injury he picked up against Leicester at the weekend.
Saints manager Claude Puel told Southamptonfc.com: "van Dijk, he is having a scan and I am waiting for the results at the moment."
"It was a good kick on his ankle, and he could not continue in the game yesterday. It's not serious, but I don't know if he can participate in this game. We will see in the next days before the game."
Five Liverpool players that need to step up following jarring January
We know what it's like to lose our best players to injury which is why we rarely enjoy seeing a talented opposition player miss out on playing, especially in such an important game.
Having said this, no van Dijk would be an immediate boost to our chances of overturning the 1-0 deficit that we are up against.
It is no wonder Steven Gerrard has identified the 25-year-old as an ideal transfer target for Liverpool. He has been outstanding and has proven to be a difficult man for our forwards to get past this season.
Virgil van Dijk or not, though, we will need to be at our very best to overcome a dangerous Southampton side tomorrow night.

I am so excited to be here! I am so pleased that you have visited me and want to know more about me!
My life has been very full, and very exciting. I am married to a man that I am in love with (wow!) and we are celebrating our 23rd year together. I am the mother of a very talented and beautiful (I can say that!) 16 year old daughter. And my house is alive with the sounds of two young and happy dogs, one snitty kitty, barking squirrels, and lovely songbirds (oh and the neighbors screeching cat!).
I have traveled the United States in a school bus, a covered wagon, on foot, in a car, by plane, train and thumb. I have seen beauty in each place and in the faces of those I have met. I've been employed as an Executive Operations Manager (yowsa! how many hours?), Store Manager (big box retail, whew! what a trip), sales person(sho me da money!), flower arranger and deliverer, secretary, cook, drive thru girl, (smile at those drive thru people, it isn't easy in there!), security guard, horse trainer, cleaning lady, Human Resource Manager, and all around flunkie! The best job I ever had was that of Mother and Wife!
I have discovered a wonderful law that has awakened my faith and changed my life as well. It is called the Law of Attraction. As I read, I began to realize that the Faith I had been raised with was scientific principle! Wow, I loved that! If you want to know more about that, get your hands on a copy of The Science of Getting Rich by Waddles (written around 1912), and read it very carefully. !
Recently through the most amazing series of fortunate events, I have discovered a wonderful company that has ignited my passion for living and is showing me how to make all my dreams come true! I am also aligning my values with how I make my living. WOW! I am excited and in love with this whole home based business, and I can hardly keep my mouth shut about it! I don't want to leave anyone out! (Check out my personal website below and prepare to be WOWED!)
Well, it has been nice sharing with you about my life. I would love to know more about you! Please send me an email and let me know who you are! I look forward to hearing from you!
Love and Abundance to you!
For the first time in years I feel like I am coming "around the corner". I have been standing at the corner looking at the signs pointing to good health, energy, vitality, and wealth, but have never moved to "come around the corner", until now! I started taking the 10-in-one formula just a short time ago, and the results have been unbelievable. I went from depressed, tired, defeated, and unable to lose weight to happy, ready to move and groove, and for the first time in years (literally) I am losing weight! How much? The first three weeks I lost 18 pounds. EIGHTEEN POUNDS! This product has increased my desire to do
the right things, and to become a healthy, active and vital person! I am
sleeping again, without the drugs, I am excited about each day and dive into it
with gusto!
And I am not the only one! I have given this to my teenage daughter, and it has helped level out her emotions, and given her a whole new attitude, in fact, she won't start her day without it! I given it to my friends and the energy and vitality they have experienced has made a huge difference in how they are living their lives!
What about you? Would you like to give it a try? There is a 60 day double empty bottle guarantee. If you try it for 60 days and don't have any results, just return your empty bottles for your money back. That's is pretty risk free, don't you think?

Why don't women know all, absolutely everything, there is to know about their own bodies – especially when it comes to sex and pleasure? Well, female sexual pleasure is so taboo – even still – that some health and medical textbooks didn't even fully describe female anatomy (including the clitoris) until only a generation or two ago. Male anatomy and reproduction is very clearly studied and understood. But female pleasure? It's a funny thing – hysterical really – and certainly not worthy of scientific endeavor.
So what we know about female sexuality is not widely distributed. It's not taught in schools because then – gasp – girls might actually go out and have sex, and maybe get pregnant. But, if we did happen to demystify female sex and the female body, and at earlier ages, imagine what all that healthy knowledge could do for young relationships, sexual encounters, loving communication and care? Whether you know it or not, there's still quite a bit about sex, and their own bodies, that women and girls just aren't aware of.
1. The clitoris. Is it a love button?
No. Ladies, it's like a penis, but better. Ithas more nerve endings than the mighty phallus. And it has a glans, a shaft a hood (all like a penis), but it also has longer legs that wrap around the vagina on the inside. Go look at a diagram and prepare to be amazed.
You've been underestimating that gem of an organ. The clitoris rules. And it has no known function other than pleasure. You're awesome, clitoris, truly. Gold star for you!
2. More than a quarter of women can't climax during intercourse
Hear that? You're not built for having an orgasm through intercourse alone. He might be able to, but that doesn't mean you're gonna – or even designed to! Loads of women don't climax during sexual intercourse so release yourself from the pressure or expectation. And those who do? They know the trick. See point 3.
3. You're more likely to orgasm during sex if you come first during foreplay
Yes, make the most of foreplay. Come first. Then you can come second and last too.
4. Women are visual too, even to porn
A lot of people hold on to the myth that only men get turned on by visual cues. Not so. Women can be just as visual – to something erotic, something attractive, something cute and something very
5. Quickies are ok, the more sex you have the more your libido goes up
Quickies aren't bad – unless that's the only sex you ever get. Sometimes it's enough to have sex and not always have the best orgasm ever. Sometimes just doing it, feeling skin on skin, and having fun and feeling together is enough to make you feel great and even give your libido a boost so you want even more – of other sex too, not just the quickie sex.
6. Too much bad sex will stop for desire for any sex
Women are sensitive to the quality of sex. You know the joke: sex is like pizza – even when it's bad it's still pretty good. Well, that's more true for men than women. For women, if you have too much bad sex, too much boring or unfulfilling sex, then there's no motivation to keep having it. Your response will be conditioned to say "oh this again? Yawn.
Nah, what else is happening that's more interesting that we can look forward to?". So stop having too much bad sex. No sex is better sometimes!
7. Women are highly distract able - focus ladies focus!
Women's brains tend to work on overdrive, a lot. Women are fantastic multi-taskers. But this means it can be hard to slow down, stop and enjoy the moment. Don't be thinking about a hundred different things when you're making love! Lovemaking is no place for auto pilot. Make sure from foreplay onwards you are in the moment and focusing your thought and attention to the matter at hand.
8. Woman on top is the number one position - for both of you!
Women should know this, want this, love this and embrace this, and yet the man on top position remains the dominant one. But truly, for both his and her pleasure, the woman on top is the clear winner.
He gets to relax his body and hold out longer – hurrah for both of you if that's what you're into – and she gets to guide pace, feel, intensity and access to the clitoris – essential, go remind yourself at point 1.
9. Initiating sex is hot, not demanding or "forward" - women's desire is not taboo
Well, it is still taboo a little, but less so with each generation as we start to understand equality applies in all areas of life. Ladies: own your sexuality. Own your desire and your wants and needs. Speak up, flirt, suggest and initiate. Your partner will love you, really, for it.
10. You're sexy
Put on that plus size lingerie. He wants you to. Fear shame and low body image be gone. Life is short!
