John Boyega confirms Star Wars celebrity cameos
- Bang Showbiz
- 19 August 2017
John Boyega has revealed Prince William and Harry and actor Tom Hardy were both filmed for 'Star Wars: Episode VIII', but he has no idea if they will be in the final cut of the movie
John Boyega has confirmed Princes William and Harry and Tom Hardy recorded cameos for 'Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi'.
The 25-year-old actor - who will reprise his role as former Stormtrooper Finn in the sequel - has revealed the royal brothers and the 'Dunkirk' star were both on set at Pinewood Studios last year, but hasn't confirmed or denied that they are set to play Stormtroopers or if their parts have been cut from the movie.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Boyega joked: "I think they took that scene out."
Moaning about how he's tired of keeping details of the movie under wraps, he added:
"I've had enough with those Prince William secrets, man. They came on set; they were there, man. Tom Hardy was there, too - I said it. I'm sick of hiding this."
In April last year, William and Harry are believed to have been filmed alongside Boyega and Daisy Ridley (Rey).
A source said at the time: "The line given was that they were going to have lunch and a private tour of the rest of the set. What really happened is that the director came over and told them it was time to 'get suited' and off they went to the wardrobe department.
"The princes dressed up in full Stormtrooper gear and filmed a scene in which Rey and Finn infiltrate a secret base.
"The rebel characters are in a lift with Benicio del Toro's character when a group of Stormtroopers enter - two of whom are William and Harry."
A spokesman for the princes "neither confirmed nor denied" the royals' roles, adding: "The princes had a great day showcasing the British talent behind 'Star Wars'."
If William, Harry and Hardy do end up appearing as Stormtroopers, it will be the first celebrity to do so after Daniel Craig - who once featured in a London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony sketch with the princes' grandmother, Queen Elizabeth - appeared as Stormtrooper JB-007 in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' in 2015.

We started with a visit to Hollard Garden and also to the Farmers market that was being held there, where these delightful Scarecrow people took our attention..
We had all visited the Hollards gardens earlier in the year, but todays visit was really at the right time, The rhododendrons were in full bloom.
and every where you walked lovely burst of colour appears and not only the rhododendrons but the deciduous Azaleas were out standing
Joan and I were both busy with the camera. top photo is mine and the lovely view of the glowing orange azalea is her photo. And she also took this one of Paul and I, as I was getting a photo of the lovely soft apricot primulas. there were several other shades but the apricot really the ones that impressed me the most.

Transporter 3DVD - 2009
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Love watching Jason Stratham and the Transporter movies are awesome action movies. Some beautiful scenery too.
This is a 2008 French action drama directed by Olivier Megaton as the 3rd installment in the "Transporter" franchise.
Although this is a little better than the second installment, I consider the bike-chase scene to be so unbelievably ridiculous that I simply quit viewing it any more.
The storyline seems so nonsensical that I find this film wasting my time.
A digital copy of the movie was included for the one that I checked out - BUT this requires a code to download onto your itunes. So unless you are a hacker, the digital copy is useless!
Worst movie of the Transporter series.
A+ for the dvd
A+ for Jason Statham, A+ for Natalya Rudakova and A+++ for the car in this DVD and AUDI.
This movie is just plain fun. It's a great movie to work out to since it's basically a very simple plot and lots of action. It's just the thing for a guy on a treadmill. The impossible nature of most of the action adds to the fun, especially the scene with Frank chasing his own car while riding a youth's bicycle.
Good action. Huge holes in the script. Real-life logics is not the writer's concern.
Just like most of Jason Statham's sequels go, this one is more of the same, but with a plot device that makes it much more entertaining.
This time around, Frank Martin is delivering a package, just like the two previous times, except he can't be more than 50 ft away from his car. Otherwise, the proximity activated bomb attached to his wrist goes off. Fun stuff to watch.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan, the oldest man ever to occupy the White House, quipped during a debate with Walter Mondale that he wouldn't make an issue of his opponent's "youth and inexperience."
Few in Huntington Beach would doubt City Councilman Joe Carchio's experience. A longtime business owner in Surf City, Carchio was elected to the council in 2006 and is the only incumbent among 21 candidates in this year's council race.
But there appears to be some confusion in town — and at the Orange County Registrar of Voters — about the councilman's age.
On various documents over the last few years, Carchio has been listed under at least four different ages — although the councilman said he has never made a secret of his age and didn't know the source of the confusion.
Carchio's profile on the Huntington Beach Downtown Residents Assn.'s website, which lists basic facts about each candidate, pegs him at 63.

Fake or Hate? Noose Found Hanging on Duke Campus Overnight
A noose was found hanging from a tree on Duke University campus Wednesday morning.
The Color Caucus released a statement this morning warning black students and staff that Duke was not a safe place for black people.
CBS Local reported:
A noose was found hanging from a tree on the campus of Duke University early Wednesday morning.
The Duke Chronicle reports the noose, made with a yellow rope, was removed at 2:45 a.m. from the Bryan Center plaza after photos of it made the rounds on social media.
"I was awakened early this morning with the news that a noose was found hung on the Bryan Center plaza," Larry Moneta, the university's Vice President of Student Affairs, said in an email. "I can't begin to describe the disgust and anger I felt, and still feel. Though it has since been removed, the photos are everywhere and its hateful message will sadly pervade and persist for a long time."
The Duke People of Color Caucus released a statement saying that the Duke campus is "not a safe place."
"To all black students, staff, faculty, and/or Durhamites on campus and in the area: Please take care of yourselves and each other," the statement reads. "This campus is not a safe space, and has proven beyond any doubt that it is a hostile environment for any and all black people."

Today's Gospel: Mark 3, 7-12 – St. Agnes
The word is out, the "miracle man" is in town. Could all the stories about Him really be true? This is something we need to see: a man of power who speaks with authority. He heals on the Sabbath. He baffles the politicians and angers the church hierarchy. One minute he is dining with the crowd and the next day he is embracing the lepers. Who is this guy? We have got to check Him out.
Now they're saying, "He makes the blind to see, the lame to walk." That's unbelievable. We've got to check Him out!
There is a big crowd down by the Lake. We'll have to fight the crowd to get close enough to see Him. Who knows, we might get a free meal out of this. Can he really do all the things that say he can? We have got to check Him out.
What is this? We came looking for signs and wonders but what we hear is Mercy. Mercy from God. Mercy for the sick, for the poor, for the lost. He says our sins can be forgiven, our defects healed if we repent. Is this what we came for? Can he really do what he says? Forgive sins? Only God can do that? Who is this Jesus?
The whole town is buzzing.
We are faced with the same question as the crowd. Who is He? Do we know who Jesus is? Do we come for signs and wonders or do we come for Him?
Jesus help us to come to you for your Mercy. Let the graces flow from us into the world who is so much in need of your healing.

Meet Odie. A furry two year old malitpoo puppy who loves veggies, squeaky toys and a good game of chase. Odie has always been a bit coddled ever since he suffered a puppy virus that threatened his life when he was just a few months old. He's been a blessing in our family, acting as the surrogate grandchild and taking the heat off my sister and I for the time being. While Odie loves people, we recently discovered that he has a bit of social anxiety when he's around other dogs. So with that we have been trying to find places where he can be outdoors with plenty of space and the occasional dog around so he can get more used to them. This weekend we took a trip to Santa Barbara to head out to the Douglas Family Preserve, which is an off-leash park located up on the cliffs with stunning views of the ocean. It is the perfect place to stop if you are doing a road trip up north and need a quick pit stop to let your four-legged friend stretch. At the base of the cliffs is Hendry's Beach, a dog friendly beach that's also a great spot for surfers. While Odie is not a fan of the beach (to my utter discontent) he still humored us and let the humans enjoy the afternoon. If you're in SoCal with your pooch, hope you have a chance to make it out here!

Press Releases
High Performer for July is Warren Judge
Congratulations to Warren Judge who was named the High Performer for the month of July. Warren is a Surgical Technician and has been employed at RCH for eight years.
"I would like to nominate Warren Judge for the High Performer of the Month for his commitment to RCH and the effort he puts in to working with surgeons doing procedures at RCH. Warren has taken on a leadership role in working with the surgeons and it shows. Often times surgeons will comment on the good work and calming influence Warren has in their cases. He has also taken ownership of the instrument cleaning and sterilization process in surgery which is an area of extreme importance that often flies under the radar to those outside of the operating room.
Warren also recently took the initiative to develop a new Northwest Illinois Chapter for the Central Service Material Management Association, which is an international association of Central Service Professionals. With Warren as the first President of this new Chapter this will bring valuable recognition to RCH. Warren was recognized as a new Chapter President at the association's annual meeting in May, when this new Chapter was approved. Warren is a valuable contributor to RCH in his role in the surgery area and now he has taken the initiative to implement best practices to enhance our quality and service."

It's not just running that has me occupied with a new curiosity. I've also been baking, which of course is the perfect counterpoint to exercise! I have been cooking since I was just a wee little one. Proof:
Beyond a killer banana bread (you know you want that recipe!), baking has never captured my imagination, like cooking, but I suppose it runs in my blood. My maternal grandfather made his living as a successful bakery owner in Queens. You know you want some of those recipes too! Note to self…
It all started with an abundance of blueberries…I made chocolate blueberry oatmeal cookies, blueberry banana bread, peach coffee cake and then my attention turned to bread.
Thanks to Pinterest (follow me here), I got to cooking up some sourdough starter. I was following this recipe and using this container. Here is what it looked like at the beginning:
Even though the container I got looks identical to the one from the website, I accidentally knocked the lid and it broke, so then I covered the starter with plastic wrap and it actually really took off from there, so I am thinking it kept too much air out of the mix.
Once the starter was ready, I followed this recipe (sorry if you do not subscribe to Cook's Illustrated, totally worth the money, but I am sure you can Google another). It's an intense and time-consuming process and the recipe actually needs some tweaking. I will post the final recipe after I get it right. But this is a teaser photo, following the recipe exactly:
I also made a non-sourdough following this recipe. I took the basic instructions and added some olive oil, rosemary from a friend's garden and a bunch of cloves of roasted garlic. It was a bit dense (might've been the yeast I used) and needed a touch more salt, but also delish. Here's a pic:
Have I made you hungry yet? What's your favorite thing to bake?

One of my favorite things to do when I still had my Carrera Cabriolet was to drive down to Skyline Drive in autumn to watch the leaves turn colors. This was my favorite spot in the park.
This was the view of the Eiffel Tower from the balcony of my apartment on Boulevard Pasteur in the 15th. I setup a tripod on my balcony and would snap a couple of shots when I got home from work every night. It took over a month but finally the light and the clouds all fell into place and I was able to capture this perfect shot!
This is Venice's version of a dark alley. The narrow canal– just wide enough for a gondola to pass — weaves its way along the houses.
The Grand Canal is usually bustling with gondolas, water taxis, barges, etc. I waited for the sun to set just below the buildings in the background and for the traffic to die down before taking this picture.

'Elphaba is not evil, but a compelling and honest character.'
telling the story of the life of the Wicked Witch of the West. It's an incredibly complex tale and deals with many different themes, humanity, religion, politics, family, friendship, good vs evil etc. The beauty of this story is that it teaches us that not everything is as it first appears.
One problem with this book that has been pointed out many times is the jumpiness from theme to theme. As I said before it's a hard read with a lot of complicated plot lines it's not the fairy tale Oz we read as a child. Not everything is explained in the book and I know some people need the answers to everything in life and want their books to package everything up in a neat little bow but that's not how life works. There are times in her life that Elphaba doesn't remember so we don't either. We see the world how she sees it. Corrupt, confusing and unfair.
Wicked is an adult read, it's funny, smart and a little bit dirty.

Continued from Page 1…
"The board has to get involved and get involved in a major way," he said. "At the end of the day they decide . . . not the CEO, not the management. We are the trustees of the assets, so before any major decision gets made I am going to make sure that the board gets into it."
Chairmen at the top-ranked boards say raising and maintaining that level of engagement is a constant priority, as is building the board as a working group. And all say their role as independent chairman is central to that job.
Bank of Montreal chairman David Galloway, the newest independent chairman in the top-ranked list, said he believes the role of the independent chair gives chief executive officers more time to do what they were hired to do -- run a company. As well, he said that in his own experience as the CEO of Torstar Corp., he found that having someone else deal with board issues was very liberating.
"I would say to any chairman and CEO who is trying to hang onto the role they are making a mistake," he said. "They think they are giving up some power, but the truth is it is going to free them up to get on with their job."
Conrad Pinette, chairman of second-place Finning International Inc., said his role as independent chair eliminates the confusion of roles that can take place when a CEO wears two hats. "With an independent chair, the CEO is presenting management's position and the chairman has to manage the board. That's very important."
But many also say that the chairman of a well-functioning board is more like a first among equals than the boss of the board.
"If you have a strong board, the independent chair may be less important except as a conduit to the CEO when the board has strong views," Mr. O'Brien said. "A lot of my contemporaries are smart, able people. They don't need me to band them together."
Mr. Sawchuk said that as well as working together, he encourages his board to step back and look at what he calls "first principles" when they are facing a tough decision. Boards, he says, are often too eager to begin with tactics instead of looking at the whole picture.
"When you dive right in and discuss tactics, what wins out is the loudest mouth or the most aggressive person in the room," he said. He believes it is the job of chairman to make sure that does not happen.
Looking forward to future changes, many chairmen singled out executive compensation as an area where there is still plenty of work to be done.
It also is an area made even more difficult by international acquisitions or expansion, as Mr. Sawchuk and the board at Manulife witnessed this year.
"Once we acquired Hancock, we had a whole new ballgame," he said, a reference to the comparatively high pay at the U.S. insurer. John Hancock CEO David D'Alessandro gained attention for his compensation package, which topped $21-million (U.S.) in salary and stock options in 2002. Manulife CEO Dominic D'Alessandro, by comparison, made $3.6-million (Canadian) in 2002 and $7.5-million last year. This June, Manulife confirmed that the Mr. D'Alessandro from John Hancock would step down as chief operating officer in November with a $16.5-million (U.S.) severance package.
"There is a lot of emotion about executive compensation," Mr. Sawchuk said. "There are and have been some outrageous practices in that area."
To move away from this, Mr. Sawchuk said boards and their compensation committees need to consider executive compensation as a whole package that includes not only salary and bonuses, but also pensions and benefits, severance packages and change of control agreements.
He said boards need to think about what they are rewarding and why and focus less on pay scales.
"We have to be careful not to respond to quick and dirty pressures," he said.
Compensation is also an area where many said they are hearing from investors who are looking for more comprehensive disclosure.
At Bank of Montreal, Mr. Galloway said this has especially been the case with the hot-button issue of executive pensions.

Simply put meditation in the workplace creates inner calm, deeper concentration and an opportunity to tap into fresh, new ideas.

What is Healing?
Healing is a completely natural and incredibly powerful process. It is a positive flow of energy that I open up for, which then flows to you; it deals with imbalances at a deep level. The energy vibrates and goes to where it is most needed. Just like the food you eat, the goodness goes to where it is needed without you having to think about it. Healing frees your natural resources to work in the best way for you. The only thing you have to do is absolutely nothing, relax and trust.

Stay current on changes and developments in corporate law with a wide variety of resources and tools.
By Yin Wilczek
June 12 — Twenty-one organizations June 12 asked President Barack Obama to ensure that nominees to the Securities and Exchange Commission support rulemaking to require corporate political spending disclosures.
In a letter to the White House, the organizations—including Public Citizen, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and Greenpeace—observed that investors, former SEC chairs and commissioners, state treasurers, members of Congress and others have called for the requirements.
"Any qualified nominee to the agency should be in support of something so robustly requested by investors and in favor of moving this rulemaking forward," they said. "We encourage the administration to use this regulation as a signpost for the quality of potential candidates."
The term of SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar, a Democrat, expired earlier this month, though he is expected to stay on until his replacement is named. Daniel Gallagher reportedly is resigning his post as a Republican member of the commission.
In the wake of Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, 558 U.S. 310, 2010 BL 15350, diverse groups—including institutional investors, private citizens and investor advocates—have pressed the SEC to require political spending and lobbying disclosures. A 2011 petition by a group of law professors asking for the disclosures has garnered more than 1.2 million comments, the overwhelming majority in support of the rulemaking.
The commission also has been sued over its failure to promulgate rules on the issue.
Most recently, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) faulted SEC Chairman Mary Jo White for sidestepping Democrats' calls for the disclosures—a project White removed from the commission's regulatory agenda in November 2013.
Attorneys previously told Bloomberg BNA that with the current divided commission, rulemaking on political spending transparency is highly unlikely. However, they added that there may be more visibility on the matter during the 2016 election cycle.
Many of the organizations that wrote to the White House June 12 have been vocal on the need for the SEC to act.
In their letter, the organizations also criticized the SEC's revolving door, charging that Wall Street insiders moving "back and forth between financial firms" and the commission have created an agency whose decision-making is "biased toward the interests of the financial industry" and away from those of the public and investors. "A drastic change in approach is needed as we select new nominees to run this important agency," they said.
The Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan government watchdog group, called on President Obama June 8 to replace White with someone who will provide "real accountability" and stop the "wide open" revolving door.

by Oct 1, 2016 10:04 am1
Xiaomi today seems to have released the Redmi 3S Plus in India. The device enters India as the company's first smartphone that would be sold via offline channels only.

text: FRANKFURT -- Opel plans an electric version of its new Karl minicar, a German magazine reported. The Karl EV could go on sale by the end of 2018, Autobild said. The battery powered hatchback will have a range of approximately 150km (93 miles) on a single charge, the magazine said. Opel said last July that it would develop an electric vehicle to replace the Ampera, a plug-in hybrid based on the Chevrolet Volt. The Ampera is being dropped because of disappointing sales. Opel sold 934 Amperas in Europe last year, down from 3,180 in 2013, according to JATO Dynamics market researchers. http://www.autonews.com/article/20150123/COPY01/301239938/opel-plans-ev-version-of-its-karl-minicar-report-says Looks like a rebadged Spark EV. Don't see why it will take so long to get to market.

The weekend is coming and it might find some of us nestled in to a theater seat, popcorn in hand, waiting for the lights to dim. But before you start munching away, let's take a look at exactly what's in that tub you're holding.
A study from the Center for Science in the Public Interest detailed the contents of popcorn from three movie theater chains. A large tub of popcorn from Regal Cinemas holds 20 cups of popcorn and sports 1,200 calories, 980 milligrams of sodium and 60 grams of saturated (the bad kind) fat.
If you add one tablespoon of butter, you'll up the calorie total by 130. But most of the "pumps" used for added butter in theaters add more than a tablespoon per pump. If you're a "small bag" kind of person, you're looking at 11 cups, 670 calories, 550 milligrams of sodium and at least 24 grams of saturated fat.

Style: black metal, instrumental, experimental, industrial
Label: Dod Incarnate Records
Year: 2011
Home: Colorado
Members: Gunner Harkey, Stefan Klein ~ all instruments
Additional: Lauren McDonald ~ vocals
Not every band I hear gets reviewed. Some I just don't like, some aren't that good, some are good but the music sounds like too many other bands & not individualistic enough. Some of my favorite bands have yet to be reviewed cause they're just not that out of the ordinary, even if they do rock hard. My goal with this blog has always been bands with a personality or something interesting about them. I openly confess to giving special status to submissions from independent bands, but I have declined to write about a few for the said reasons. I don't have any qualms writing a bad review, though I tend to want to endorse bands over hurting them & with that in mind will always try to put in a bad review something good to create some sort of balance. I don't want people listening to a band just to hear bad music. I want them to listen to hear something interesting & perhaps be inspired. But, sometimes its hard to say something good about an album cause it's disaster on four legs. It's easier to write about the ideas of what the music is trying to do or about, than the music itself. Public Image, Ltd. made a legacy with their release Second Edition that attempted to not be punk or rock, but was a wandering Can-esque sound effects romp. It was about pushing the boundaries to the limit, perhaps even including the boundary of listenability, so everyone that follows doesn't have to do it & can get back to playing good old music. The album has since been held up as a legacy maker & cock-eyed inspiration. In the metal world it's hard to pinpoint an album that has done the same thing & at this point in time it's too late for something to be created. The early Norwegian black metal scene might be close but the artistic element is missing. Perhaps its because headbangers like to bang their heads not tap their chins in contemplation, or maybe because they're beer drinkings looking for a party not drug addicts gazing out from a fix grooving on the eternal immobility of the wallpaper. In terms of braving new directions industrial death metal band Dethcentik is interesting. In terms of listenability or musicality it's ghastly. It's aiming to be ghastly in terms of mood but its just ghastly across the board. Since discovering Sunn 0))) I've found myself interested in the world of black drone metal, that form of metal that focuses on directionless long droning notes over melody/harmony/rhythm & takes more interest in the organically created sounds within the sounds. Perhaps its my long time interest in Lou Reed & his experiments with droning that has led me here. As it is, my own music as Blank Faced Prophet is drone metal & has its own ghastly moments, I'll confess. Dethcentrik isn't exactly drone metal, but pretty close, verging somewhere between it & weak no-depth industrial. They employ largely instrumental songs with a focus on long drawn out notes, no melody/harmony or rhythm, some drumming, few layers between a keyboard or guitar & an often tortorous degree of distorted guitars with lots of directionless repetitious riffing. The undiscernable growled vocals are just another musical element rather than a focus. "The Demise Of Mankind" features a keyboard playing long notes abruptly cut off by overly distorted guitars repeating & repeating giving Dethcentrik a hearkening to early Mayhem, including the low-fi production. The distortion is so heavy & melody so weak & repetitious that one's ears gets into the space around the riffs instead of the riffs themselves. The rest of the five tracks feature more keyboards than anything, droning away with no direction or focus or any sense of anything but pure sound for the sake of it. The result will be a strain to listen to for most ears. There is a world out there that likes this type of music, as there's a world out there that makes it. Though, this type of music is often made simply for the enjoyment of the musicians themselves rather than any reachable audience & it's truly art for art's sake. The elusive audience that is out there will surely gravitate to the dark moodiness of the keyboards. They'll also enjoy the creativity of "Columbine Justice Spree" that includes a vocal narrative of the event against keyboards & strummed guitars, which includes only a slight touch of distortion at first but quickly goes into straight double bass death metal. I always welcome those musicians trying to do new things & push the levels of sound, whether I like the result or not. As a writer & musician myself I've often been more inspired to go in odd directions than traditional approaches. Even though the outcome has been less listeners & no market I've been proud of the experiment & it's often led to something more welcomed by the masses. In that sense Dethcentrik has achieved something to be proud of. Dethcentrik makes all their releases available for free online. Also of note, the band has come under criticism for their heavy use of distortion & poor production. They've found themselves with a video banned by youtube & been placed on a religious community threat list in Colorado. For a little obscure band they must be doing something right. This has also been called by one reviewer as the worst release of 2011.

A documentary about a passion for the Irish language - how people around the world have been inspired to learn Irish.
More Irish Than The Irish Themselves - Níos Gaelaí ná na Gaeil iad féin
An international perspective on the Irish language, featuring three people of different nationalities and their experience of learning Irish.
For many of us, our school days knocked any passion we had for the Irish language. We learnt the songs, we studied the poetry and prose, but we left school after 13 years without being able to hold a conversation in Irish. We when say we have the "cúpla focal', we literally only have a couple of words.
Yet our national language has reached people of different nationalities around the world, who have been inspired to learn and to speak Irish.
In 'More Irish than the Irish Themselves', Batshèva Battu from France, Cathinka Hambro from Norway and Cóilín O Floinn from New York tell of their interest in the language, how they went about learning it as adults, talk about the different peculiarities of the language, how they use it in their everyday lives, and their view on Irish people's relationship with the language.
French born Batshèva Battu (28) has no family connections with Ireland.
In a quest to learn a language different from the norm, she decided to take up Irish. In 2005, she travelled to Ireland for the first time to take part in an Oideas Gael course in Glean Cholm Cille, Co. Donegal. Having been involved in classical and jazz singing in France, Batshèva discovered Sean-Nós singing during her time in Donegal. She moved to Ireland in 2008 to study for an M.A. in Irish Traditional Music Performance at the University of Limerick. In 2009 she went on to study on a Music Diploma taught through Irish in An Spidéal, County Galway. Batshèva now teaches singing in Galway city, and lives in An Spidéal where she gets to use her Irish on a daily basis with the locals.
Cathinka Hambro (32) from Norway also has no family connections with Ireland. She first heard the Irish language as teenager on a school trip to Ireland, which took in visits to Kerry, Galway and the Aran Islands. Subsequent trips to Ireland inspired her take up Celtic Studies at the University of Oslo. A working knowledge of the Irish language was a prerequisite for the course, so Cathinka returned to Ireland in 2008 to learn Irish in Connemara and on Inis Meáin. She is now working on her PhD in Celtic Studies in Oslo, where she is researching a 15th century text in Irish called 'Altram Tige Dá Medar', which is preserved in The Book of Fermoy. She endeavors to spend a week or two in Ireland every year, in order to practice her Irish.
Colin Flynn or Cóilín Ó Floinn (33) grew up on Long Island, New York. As his grandparents were from Cork, he was always surrounded by Irish culture. He first heard the Irish language as a young child on an old Clancy Brothers recording of 'Fágfaidh Mé an Baile Seo' that his mother used to play, and he always wanted to understand what the words in the song meant. He later got the opportunity to learn the language at New York University where he studied History and Irish Studies. Cóilín moved to Dublin in 2000 and spent his weekends in the Gaeltacht in order to practice his Irish. He qualified as a secondary school teacher in 2005, but decided to work in adult education instead. This led him to a job as an Irish language teacher and course designer with Gaelchultúr in Dublin, where he taught for five years. Cóilín is currently a PhD student in Trinity College, but still teaches Irish part-time.
Produced by Sarah Blake.
Sound Supervision by Damien Chenelles.
First broadcast Saturday 12th March 2011, 2pm as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge.

Shahrukh unable to help Krazzy 4
Choreographed by Ahmed Khan, the song Krazzy 4 has Shahrukh Khan holding fort along with a bevy of beauties but surprisingly the number is still struggling to pick up. Of course Rajesh Roshan's tune isn't extraordinary too while an ordinary choreography/picturisation hasn't helped the cause either. Though the makers are pumping big money in promoting the song, there hasn't been much of an impetus, which has resulted in the shift of focus towards another item number in the film - 'Dekhta Hai Tu Kya' - which is choreographed on Rakhi Sawant.
All eyes are now set on Hrithik's version of Krazzy 4, which is titled Break Free. Based on the same tune as Shahrukh Khan's track, the song would have an altogether different stage and setting.
We are waiting!

Nashville, Tenn. - Coming off of a perfect 3-0 week, the Tennessee State volleyball team hopes to keep its momentum rolling when the Tigers host Murray State and Austin Peay this weekend.
Last week, TSU pulled off a come-from-behind 3-2, upset win over Memphis at home on Oct 16. Then, the squad traveled to Jacksonville State where the team avenged its loss from earlier in the year with a 3-1 win over the Gamecocks. The Tigers closed the week by sweeping Tennessee Tech, 3-0.
The strong week brings TSU's record to 13-10 against all opponents and 7-3 versus conference foes. TSU's 7-3 mark in the OVC is the tied for the best start in school history, matching the 2007 OVC Championship team's record.
A major factor in the Tigers' hot start has been the play of junior setter Erika Moss. The Fort Wayne, Ind. native currently leads the OVC in assists per set during conference matches with 11.18. She has also tallied at least 30 assists in her last nine matches including 117 in a two-game stretch on Oct. 12-13.
Moss has been setting the ball up perfectly for the Tigers and the team's attackers have been reaping the benefits. Sophomores Naomi Wells and Rachel Ambroch both currently rank in the top-ten in the conference in kills per set, and Wells has recorded at least 10 kills in her past eight matches. Fellow sophomore Sherryce Butler has also been an offensive force for the team and now has 217 kills on the season.
Adding to the offense has been TSU's conference leading 1.49 service ace per set average. Ambroch (.45 aces per set in OVC matches) and senior libero Britani Hathorn (.42 aces per set in OVC matches) currently rank first and third, respectively, in the OVC in aces per set.
Hathorn is also eighth in the conference in digs per set with 4.84.
First up for the Tigers this weekend will be the Racers of Murray State (4-16, 2-8 OVC). Murray State is coming off of a winless week that saw the team get swept by both Eastern Illinois and SIUE. Taylor Olden recorded a team-high 21 kills over the two matches to go with 11 digs. Jodie Klein paced the defense with 26 digs.
TSU won the last meeting with the Racers 3-0 on Nov. 11 of last season, but the Tigers are only 8-42 against Murray State all-time.
On Saturday, TSU will square off against Austin Peay (13-13, 6-4 OVC) who just split a pair of OVC road matches last week, defeating SIUE in five sets and falling to Eastern Illinois also in five sets. Senior Nikki Doyle posted back-to-back 20-kill performances and is now fourth in the conference with 3.58 kills per set. Sophomore Jada Stotts recorded 32 kills during the week, including 19 against SIUE to pull her into second place in the conference in kills per set.
Austin Peay is currently leading the conference in hitting percentage (.224) and is second in assists (12.18 per set).
The action begins on Oct. 26 against Murray State at 7 p.m. in Kean Hall and continues on Saturday against Austin Peay at 12 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the matches this weekend in supports of breast cancer awareness.

2013; 320 pages. Book Four (out of 5) in the Space Captain Smith series New Author? : No. Genre : Sci-Fi Spoof; Space Opera. Overall Rating : 7½*/10.
The cosmos needs saving! Again.
The forces of Evil: The Yull, the Lemming Men, the ant-like Ghasts, and the religiously-loco Edenites have joined forces, albeit uneasily, to conquer the galaxy and rid it of all that is good, including the British Space Empire and its tea.
The good guys can use all the help they can get, even from the incredibly advanced, but creepily non-corporeal Vorl. They've arranged a peace conference to attempt to sway the Vorl to their side, and the number one fear is an incursion by the bad guys, especially since it seems that one of the baddies has developed a lethal spaceship with a super-effective cloaking device. And said warship just mauled a convoy of space freighters that was being protected by our hero, Captain Isambard Smith.
Hey, Smith. How'd you like to get another crack at that cloaked-up dreadnaught?
Yes, we thought so.
What's To Like...
After a four-year hiatus following Book 3 (reviewed here), reportedly to successfully pursue a law degree, Toby Frost comes back with another solid addition to the Space Captain Smith series. All of Smith's crew are here, including the M'Lak headhunter Suruk, the android pilot Polly Carveth, the 25th-century flower-child Rhianna, and my favorite MacGuffin, Gerald the hamster. Ditto for everyone from the British spy cadre – Major Wainscott, "W", Susan, and bounty hunter extraordinaire Rick Dreckitt.
Frost also introduces us to a bunch of new characters, among them Captain Felicity Fitzroy (look out, Rhianna!) and the mysterious and charismatic Le Fantome. Quite a few new peeps are thrown at the reader at the start of the book, but I think that's a plus in that it shows that the author isn't just rehashing past tales.
There are three main plotlines. Smith chases the cloaked warship; Wainscott protects the peace conference, and the baddies make plans to disrupt it. Everything converges seamlessly. The Ghasts are back, but they play a lesser role here, which I thought was a good move. It's always kewl to do battle with new Black Hats.
A Game of Battleships is written in English, as opposed to "American", and that always makes for entertaining reading. There's a slew of puns, and plays-on-words, which is the main reason I love this series. A bunch of these involved the French language ("someone regretting Ryan"), which was an added treat. I also liked the various tips-of-the-hat, including ones to Kraftwerk, Asterix, and Dave-&-Hal, they of 2001: A Space Odyssey fame.
There really aren't any slow spots, which is a Toby Frost trademark. A Game of Battleships is a standalone novel, as well Book 4 of what appears to be a 5-volume series. See Kindle Details, below.
Kewlest New Word...
Nobble (v.) : to obtain dishonestly; to steal. (informal, a Britishism)
Others : Aspidistra (n.); Scrumpy (n.); Smalls (n., plural, a Britishism, informal); Lidar (n.).
"Status report, revised," she announced. "We're stuffed." She closed the logbook and sat down.
"Any details?" Smith asked.
"Alright then. Basically, I'd say we've passed the stage of being merely inconvenienced and are now moving into the realm of being totally buggered. Should the buggeration continue, I'm anticipating us losing not just paddle but canoe very shortly, leaving us floundering helplessly in the filthy rapids of a certain malodorous creek." (loc. 397)
"Many years ago, when I was a mere spawn, impressionable and technically incapable of criminal responsibility, the elders of my tribe told me of a land beyond the great waterfall that plummets over the cliffs of Bront. He who recited the correct charm and then leaped through the waters, would emerge in a land of wonders. So I travelled for nine days, until the waters were in sight.
Speaking the charm, I sprang through the waterfall."
"What did you see?"
"Stars, Mazuran. I knocked myself out on the cliff. The elders were lying through their mandibles." (loc. 2826)
Kindle Details...
A Game of Battleships sells for $4.99 at Amazon. The other four books in the series go for $4.99-$7.99. The latest book in the series, End of Empires, was published in 2014. I suspect it is the series' finale. Toby Frost issued Straken, the first e-book in a new series called Astra Militarum in 2016, and co-wrote a second book, titled eponymously, in that series last year as well. But they are both only available for the Kindle at Amazon-UK, and neither has garnered any reviews yet. Straken is available at Amazon as a paperback, but it goes for $16.00. There are no reviews for that version either.
"Do you know Beethoven's Ninth?" "Really? At what?" (loc. 777)
The ending was good, but not great. It had an interesting twist to it, but I felt like I'd seen it used before in other stories, and it seemed a somewhat awkward fit here.
The big problem with A Game of Battleships is the formatting. Typos abound, especially of two types: possessives and words with double L's. I tend to blame the publisher, Myrmidon Books, not the author for this. Since my library carries the first three books in this series, I presume Toby Frost did not self-publish this.
One typo that deserves special mention was the word "teachest". This should of course be two words: "tea chest" (but maybe it's a single word in "British-speak"?), yet my mind kept trying to make it the superlative form of the word "teach". Talk about a brain freeze.
It reminded me of a book I read years ago, Even Cowgirls Get The Blues (reviewed here), which contained the presumably valid word "mambaskin". Which means the skin of a certain snake. But my brain kept trying to make it "mam baskin", evidently a weird flavor at our local ice cream parlor. Needless to say, this also resulted in a brain fart.
7½ Stars. If you liked the first three books in the series, you'll not be disappointed in this one.

Kelly F. from TALOFOFO, GU
Reviewed on 9/9/2009...
If you love Rock & Roll, by which I mean if you have ever danced yourself nearly to death while screaming in primal joy -- then you would have LOVED any show by the J Geils Band during the early 70s. Geils is an underrated guitar player, Magic Dick may be the most amazing harp player in history, and Peter Wolf drove the band hard and kept the crowd whipped to a frenzy. This album captures the band in all their nasty, ragged edged, high energy glory. The sound quality is questionable, but was often questionable even live in small venues they played at the time (this album was recorded at The Cinderella Ballroom in Detroit, a place my adult self would want a series of vaccinations after visiting but which was heaven for my teenaged self). Put it in the CD player, crank it up, and prepare to howl, shake, shimmy and grin! I'd give this one six stars if I could.

Maybe the greatest live rock and roll album ever recorded.
Robusto | Houston, TX USA | 12/26/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Back in '72 my college roommate introduced me to this LP and I still play it today. I've seen a lot of rock bands and no one and I mean NO ONE brings it like the J. Geils Band. From "Pack it Fair and Square" to "Lookin' for a Love" you feel like you are actually right there. Detroit was one of the band's favorite places to play and it shows on this, maybe the greatest live rock and roll album ever recorded."

Souto's new work on display at Kiechel Fine Arts
calendar icon17 Oct 2012
"Ecos de la Memoria (Memory Echoes)," an exhibition featuring new work by University of Nebraska–Lincoln Associate Professor of Art Francisco Souto, will be on display at Kiechel Fine Art in Lincoln from Oct. 19 through Nov. 23.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, Oct. 19 from 6-8 p.m.
"Ecos de la Memoria" is an exhibition structured around a sensorial trajectory rather than organized by media or chronology.
"Every piece developed itself as a direct response of my recent travels to Venice, Florence, Mexico, China and Barcelona," Souto said. "The central preoccupation of this new body of work is the mystery of being in the world and how one becomes aware of unpretentious moments in the visually stimulating nature of travel. All these works were slowly conceived as visual responses to small, fragmented memories within the inventory of images collected."
Souto was born in Venezuela and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Herron School of Art in 2000 and his Master of Fine Arts from Ohio State University in 2002. He has been teaching printmaking at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln since 2004.
He has participated in a wide range of national and international exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe, Venezuela, Russia, Egypt and Japan. His work is in several public and private collections around the world.
The master printmaker has shared his expertise through workshops and as a visiting artist in the U.S. and abroad, garnering several awards and grants. In 2011, he won honorable mention at the International Mezzotint Festival at the Ekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts in Russia.
Keichel Fine Art is located at 5733 S 34th St., Ste 300 in Lincoln. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Works from the exhibition can be found at kiechelart.com.
