Buzzard vs Sparrow: Which helicopter should the players buy in GTA Online?
Image via GTA Wiki Fandom
Rahul Bhushan
For the longest time in GTA Online, the Buzzard has been the go-to chopper for players who are looking to do VIP/CEO Work. For many players, the Buzzard is the ultimate utility vehicle as it can make life much easier in the game.
With each new title update, players look for ways to replace their old vehicles with new ones that might serve them better. With the Cayo Perico Heist DLC, the Sparrow emerged as a clear favorite amongst the community as one of the fastest ways to get around in GTA Online.
The Sparrow is extremely quick and supremely nimble, being able to make tight turns without much effort. However, its abysmal health seems to be an issue for many players as it explodes at the slightest contact.
With both the Buzzard and Sparrow available for purchase, which chopper should a GTA Online player invest in?
Which helicopter should the players buy in GTA Online?
Buzzard Attack Chopper: GTA$1,750,000
Sparrow: GTA$1,815,000
The Sparrow is only slightly more expensive than the Buzzard Attack Chopper, but that does not tell the whole story.
The Sparrow can only be stored in the Kostaka Moon Pool. So, the player will need to shell out quite a lot of money in order to get themselves a Sparrow.
The Buzzard Attack Chopper can be as a Pegasus Vehicle or in the Hangar as a Personal Aircraft.
The Buzzard has a slight edge over the Sparrow in terms of pricing as it can be stored in different places, as well as the player being able to spawn it close to themselves if they're a CEO or on a Helipad by calling Pegasus.
Performance and utility
The Sparrow is undoubtedly quicker of the two, mostly down to its less weighty and more nimble design. Both the helicopters can carry similar weaponry, therefore, being on footing in that respect.
The Sparrow, which is faster and more nimble of the two, also has abysmal health and cannot take much punishment before it explodes into flames. The Buzzard doesn't have great health, either, but is only slightly better than the Sparrow in that department.
The Sparrow is an extremely useful vehicle in the game and one that might perform admirably to suit the player's needs. Both the Buzzard Attack Chopper and Sparrow's ability to spawn close to the player makes it a priceless commodity in GTA Online.
However, the difference comes as a result of how much the player is willing to spend to do VIP/CEO work. The Kostaka Moon Pool does not come for cheap and the Submarine itself can cost quite a bit.
Therefore, if players already own a Buzzard, there is no immediate need to make the switch over to the Sparrow any time soon. So as it stands, it seems like the Buzzard will continue to reign supreme as one of the best vehicles in the game and is certainly worth every cent of its price tag.

The Motorola One Vison costs less than $400, but packs in a 48Mp rear camera and a large 6.3-inch 1080p display. But it has a number of unusual quirks, including a very tall screen and a large camera bump. So is it a bargain, or might just be a bit too unsual?

The cable TV networks owned by Telstra and Optus will be getting an AU$400 million upgrade before being incorporated into Australia's National Broadband Network.
Arris will upgrade the Optus and Telstra hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) networks for NBN Co in a deal worth AU$400 million.
ZDNet has confirmed that NBN Co has signed up Arris to install new cable modem termination systems (CMTS) and upgrade the two networks out to approximately 230 exchanges across Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne in a three-year deal. The company beat out rival telecommunications giant Cisco to the agreement.
NBN Co gained access to the HFC networks as part of new agreements signed late last year. According to the company's product road map, NBN Co will begin connecting customers to the HFC networks in March 2016, and will pilot services in the fourth quarter of 2015.
It is understood that the networks will be DOCSIS3.0, with no plans to upgrade to 3.1 at this stage, and NBN Co is planning on offering download speeds of up to 100Mbps.
Arris president of network and cloud services, Bruce McClelland told journalists on Monday that much of the DOCSIS1.0 modems would need to be upgraded to 3.0, and this would allow the company to offer more reliable services. He said 3.1 is a possibility but a decision for NBN Co.
"From our perspective, it's well down the development path, and we'll be in trials towards the end of the year," he said.
Upgrades could take at least four hours for each node, with user outages as short as 15 minutes long.
NBN Co said the upgrade to the legacy networks would not just be a re-badge of the networks.
"We're not simply re-badging the existing HFC networks from Telstra and Optus, we are substantially building a new and upgraded network.We will be significantly extending that network, and putting at its heart a very powerful new engine," NBN Co CTO Dennis Steiger said.
Steiger was not available for a question and answer session on Monday, and much of the detail around when Australians can expect to see the upgrades be completed remains unknown.
McClelland said it was "unfair" to compare NBN Co's planned HFC networks to the current state of the HFC networks.
"The experience the Australian public has now is not going to be the same once we upgrade the network to the same standard we have at Comcast," he said.
NBN Co will need to build lead-ins for approximately one third of the 3.27 million premises passed by the networks, but Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull previously indicated that he is quietly confident that much of the HFC network upgrades will be completed by the time of the next election in 2016.
The lead-ins will be built by construction contractors, not Arris.

Movie Review – The Mule & Ben is Back
January 28, 2019 adminmovie review, movie review, News, review
Hollywood tackles the American drug crisis in two star vehicles.
By Irena Bee
There's a certain magical charisma that propels one actor ahead of their peers when confronted with a camera. It's why Lady Gaga has become a cinema darling while Madonna is mocked. It's one of those unknown unknowns that takes a beauty with a perfect smile or a cowboy with a sexy sneer and, when in front of a camera, turns them into a genuine star. That star quality makes us sit up like meerkats and pay attention.
This week two luminaries are shining their light on the catastrophic impact of drugs in white, middle-class American families. So don't think of these works as films (or art), more like movie-length public service announcements (PSAs) against the illegal drug trade, our willful racial and age biases, the broken health system, dodgy pharma and our ineffectual legal frameworks that have allowed horrific crime and human suffering to flourish all over the developed world.
See these films for the powerful message that their stories tell, rather than the lack of power in their telling.
Firstly, Oscar-winning actor and director, Clint Eastwood, is making his last comeback as The Mule. It's the story of real-life flower farmer, Earl Stone, who becomes the Midwest's number one drug runner in his nineties. The film opens with a series of plodding scenes that consistently show Earl choosing his prized lilies, war veteran buddies and cross-country flower show exhibits over his daughter and wife. Decades later he turns up broke (damn you internet you flower farm killer!) and unwanted at his granddaughter's engagement party with the sum total of his life's belongings in an ancient Ford pick-up truck.
Coincidentally, his pride in his exemplary driving record gets him recruited as a long-haul drug courier. The story then becomes a series of vignettes showing Earl's multiple drug runs across America. Fun times USA!
This is the most enjoyable and darkly comedic section of an otherwise cinematically boring and predictable film. Eastwood is unsurprisingly terrific as Earl, willfully oblivious to the pounds of cocaine in his boot, singing along to mid-century musical classics, helping out fellow travellers and generally relishing all the privilege of the open road for a 'harmless' old white man. This respect vanishes for the person of colour. The scene where an innocent driver has a panic attack and spouts survival data after being pulled over by the DEA cops is striking for its comic truth.
We then watch Earl spend his spoils to buy back his status – on a new truck, a gold bracelet, on his war vet buddies and even on his family. There's an homage to the wonder of American roadhouse cuisine and the overt police racism of small town USA.
Unfortunately, The Mule shows none of the brilliance in either camera work or storytelling that earned Eastwood his Oscars and reputation as an actor and auteur of grim reality. This is not the grumpy truth-teller of Gran Torino, this is a MAGA hat-wearer made flesh.
The Mule's natural end is a road scene of the bloody, beaten Earl, slumped and handcuffed in a police car, accepting his fate. But it doesn't… This is Eastwood directing Eastwood one last time. Using the courtroom conceit, he forces a mea culpa and family reconciliation and finally Earl has peace with his flowers again. It's like a cheap mash-up of Law and Order and On Golden Pond.
However it's not the drugs or the violence that are the real crimes in this film. Neither is it the many proto-porn minutes spent on multiracial prostitute behinds, or the topless scenes of Eastwood with pairs of hookers (never just one).
Nor is the real crime the refuse made of the deep talent in the supporting cast – eager to work with a legend no doubt – but given nothing but shadows of characters and banal dialogue: Andy Garcia, the smiling cartel boss, Dianne Wiest, Earl's Mamabear ex-wife, Laurence Fishburne as the bureau chief and even supernova, Bradley Cooper, as the smart but lonely special agent, can't make the script or bland direction shine.
No. the real true crime is that The Mule never even attempts to deal with the consequences of what Earl has done to others. The regular lives lost, the loving families ruined.
The baton of seeing how drugs hollowed out America's middle-class goes to the similarly straightforward, but far more dramatic, Ben is Back.
Oscar-winner Julia Roberts is Holly Burns, a proud American twice-married mum who left an abusive, white first husband with her two kids, and is now happily, and interracially, married to Neal (bringing the gravitas, Courtney B. Vance), with another two kids.
There's a thing going on right now called the ten-year-challenge where stars, and the rest of us, post photos from a decade ago alongside current snaps on social media. Looking at a 10-foot close up of Roberts' subtly ageing face and giant smile, I was struck by how maturely beautiful she was. This is exceptional casting. She acts every emotion in this film, often several simultaneously.
It's Christmas Eve and this perfectly blended family is preparing for the Christmas pageant at church. The dappled light bathes the scene in warm, golden shades. While at their home, in stark, white and snowy contrast, sits Ben (rising star Lucas Hedges), vaping, jittery, ready to blow a hole through their Rockwell painting life.
Holly is overjoyed to see Ben, believing he's been allowed to leave his drug recovery program for Christmas (but just in case she hides her meds and her jewelry). The rest of the family are skeptical at best, reminding Holly how Ben ruined several past Christmases with his lies, thieving and drug abuse. They make a deal – Ben is to stay clean, and stay with Holly for the 24 hours he's been allowed home.
The family go to church where Ben is now also bathed in golden light. He ugly-weeps for the life he's missed while Holly awkwardly reconnects with Beth (Rachel Bay Jones) who's own daughter, Ben's classmate, lost the addiction battle. Think of her as Chekhov's mum. It's all too perfect obviously; because we know from a million addiction movies that we're looking at a lie.
Ben is back is a movie split in two: during the day we follow as Ben and Holly are confronted by past misdeeds that led them here. The scene where Holly meets their old doctor at the mall is particularly brutal in exposing the reason behind Ben's addiction and the culpability of the medical system. Ben hides from old school friends and we learn that beneath his sweet and funny demeanor Ben feels worthless for surviving.
The tight, sometimes suffocating family drama is powerful because it is so benignly domestic and familiar. Roberts and Hedges are terrific in their dynamic. They have genuine chemistry. We marvel at her stoic optimism and unwavering support and we fear for him and his tenuous grip on sobriety.
The second half of the film takes place at night. It'is more thriller heist than family drama and so is less effective but no less brutal in revealing the reality of addiction.
Holly is forced to drive Ben around in search of their family dog that was stolen by a dealer while the family were at church. She refuses to let him out of her sight and as a result they roll through the quiet, tinsel-saturated neighborhood as Ben seeks Ponce in every dark corner and humiliation of his past. We discover that Ben was not an innocent victim and that the damage he caused haunts him. There's plenty of realisation and silent self-blame all round. Roberts excels as each realisation of the horror show behind her son's sweet facade hits her in the face.
Unfortunately what breaks the movie is the PSA element. Ben is Back would have been far more powerful if the raw story was left alone. However there are too many 'educational' breaks that explain the nature of addiction and justice in America. There's Holly berating the chemist for the hypocrisy of not stocking Narcan, there's Neil comparing black and white justice and Beth showing Holly how to use Narcan because the system won't help.
Ben is Back is a microcosm of drug addiction hollowing out America's white population. It's the result of The Mule schlepping kilos of powder undetected across the country while police focus on the 'optics' of arrest numbers. These movies are about the lies we tell ourselves and the lies we tell society. That everything is okay, that we can handle it and that status and appearance is more valuable than community and honesty.
Ben is the realisation of a white, male future that Earl's generation of men could never have imagined possible.

b) Choose how the bottom layer has to look like: plain, with relief (deep structure), embossing (surface structure) or with a logo cut out.
The sole of the flip flops is standard made out of two layers of 6 mm, glued to eachother: the top and the bottom layer. It's your choice to have them in the same, or in two different colours; all for the same price. A third, thin layer of 2,6 mm in between top and bottom layer is optional.
The top layer is standard plain and ready to be printed with your logo. You can also add embossing (surface structure) for a soft massage feeling. If the top layer has another colour than the bottom layer, there will be a beautiful colour effect, especially if you choose for a logo cut out in the bottom.
Pimp the sole of your flip flops with an extra coloured thin foam layer in between!
For the bottom layer we offer four possibilites. You can choose for a plain, a relief, an embossed bottom layer or a bottom with your logo cutted out.
Herewith some pictures of realised projects. Let them inspire you to create your own foam flip flops!
Example of an orange flip flop with plain bottom layer.
The plain bottom is our standard offer. The skin soft EVA foam is very comfortable for your feet. Be careful: this plain bottom is not suitable on wet surfaces.
This is a white foam flip flop with digital screen print. The sole consists of 3 layers incl. a thin layer and a relief bottom.
The relief bottom has an anti-slip function. Your customers will be safe and sound on their holidays, in the sauna or the spa!
Top and bottom layer have a different colour. In the bottom there's a logo cut out, which gives a beautiful colour effect!
With your logo cutted out of the bottom, your clients will spread around your message while walking in the sand. Thanks to these flip flops your company can be traced. Much more efficient than Hansel & Gretl!
We offer a wide range of eva-foam colours, fully tailored to your wishes. Since we value fast delivery of our flip flops, we selected 8 standard colours, which are available in stock. To make the perfect match with your logo, there are more than 300 special or customized colours to make your Happy giveaway as personal as you want.
Tip: you can choose a different standard foam colour per foam layer at no extra cost (see also step 2.Sole).
We have more than 300 foam colours which are not in stock. A minimum quantity has to be ordered. Send us the details of your desired pantone colour to find the match in our colour line. If you want to know the minimum quantity order of the flip flops, please contact us.
You can choose another foam colour to perfectly match the flip flops with your logo and design. If it's a colour that we have never used in foam, a lab-test will have to take place. This has an effect on the delivery time.
Every flip flop exists of a foam sole with a plastic toe strap. Standard we manufacture the flip flops with transparent (colourless) or black toe straps. However, from a minimum ordered quantity of 3000 pairs it is possible to make them in any pantone colour.
Note: it's not possible to print on the plastic toe strap.
We offer 3 different flip flop sizes. Each size covers three shoe sizes.
You can choice one flip flop size or combine sizes to reach your MOQ of 250 pairs. The possibilities are shown underneath. Keep in mind that the mix you want, especially with the larger sizes, will have an impact on the amount of material and thereby on the price.
Would you like to go for the standard plastic bag, or do you like to give a personal touch to your promotional gift and add a customized card?
- One flip flop pair per transparent plastic bag. On the backside of the bag a size label is shown.
- One flip flop pair per transparent plastic bag + a customized card.
A customized card in the flip flop package is like the cherry on your cake. Ask for our card template and make your design!
Do you opt for one print film or more?
Your choice has an effect on the way your artwork will be positioned, and on the price. Herewith we will explain it to you with examples.
Usually we use one and the same film to print on the three flip flop sizes. That means that you position the logo on reference size layer S and that the logo will be positioned a bit differently on size layers M and L.
If you want to have your artwork positioned in the exact center of each flip flop size, you need a different film for each flip flop size.
Once you have gone through all the steps and made your choice, fill in the price quote to ask for a tailor-made offer. With the order you will receive our flip flop template and detailed guidelines, enabling you to make a print-ready design.

The US national team's foray into the inaugural Gold Cup in 1991 started with an earthquake. That was before the Americans made some earth-shattering news of their own.
The American soccer boys were in the midst of becoming men. The maturing process started in 1989, when the USA, after 40 years in the World Cup desert, booked their first trip to the greatest show on earth. It continued at Italia '90, where the college graduates learned valuable lessons, despite losing all three games. They brought those lessons to the fledgling Concacaf tournament in the Los Angeles area a year later.
The USA demonstrated they had grown up, and even flexed their muscles against Concacaf's best – Costa Rica, Mexico and Honduras – while stunning many observers by winning the tournament. The team pocketed $100,000 of the $250,000 total prize money, earned respect from the region's powers, and gained some much-needed self-confidence.
"As much as we try to conquer the world now, that was our first step," goalkeeper Tony Meola said.
"It was the first time in my time with the national side that we were in a position to be in the driver's seat, to dominate," team captain and forward Peter Vermes said.
These were exciting times in American soccer. The women had just qualified for the first Women's World Cup. The country also was preparing to host the 1994 WorldCup.
The men needed experience because they did not want to be embarrassed by failing to reach the second round, so coach Bora Milutinovic was brought in to succeed Bob Gansler. Nicknamed the "miracle worker," Bora boasted an impressive resumé. He directed the host El Tri to the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup. As an 11th-hour replacement at Italia '90, he guided the Costa Rica to the second round, the first Concacaf team to reach the knockout round in Europe.
Milutinovic, who stressed ball possession – "Bora ball " – also worked on the team's psyche.
Miltutinovic, a Serb who could speak five languages but struggled with his English, found ways to get his message across.
The Americans' journey to the top of the Concacaf mountain was highlighted by a frantic trip to their tournament opener to make the kick-off on time, a dramatic comeback, a toppling of a regional power and the first time the dos a cero result became reality, although it was years before that phrase would be emblematic of the Americans' superiority over Mexico.
Compared to today's tournament, which boasts 14 venues in as many cities and 26 games over a 20-day period, the first Gold Cup had rather humble beginnings. Eight teams competed (two groups of four) and the entire competition was held southern California. Games alternated between the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
There was no rest for the weary. Teams played every other day; five games in nine days. The USA kicked off the tournament on June 29 and completed their fifth game on July 7.
Translated: after a recovery day, the teams were back on the field playing.
Bora deftly managed the team. Though the USA was facing a 2-1 deficit to Costa Rica, he decided to pull Eric Wynalda, who had set up Vermes' early goal. The Americans rallied to win.
There were some unscheduled events. On the day the competition kicked off – Honduras' 4-2 win over Canada at the Coliseum June 28 – a 5.6-magnitude earthquake hit the LA area, killing two people and injuring about 100.
The next day the Americans almost did not make their opening kickoff against Trinidad & Tobago on time. Their team bus broke down on the way to the hotel, forcing them to take cars and shuttles to the Rose Bowl. The starting 11 was given first priority.
We got a little bit of momentum," Meola said. Their next game was much neater, a 3-0 triumph over Guatemala – the team's most lopsided victory in 22 matches – before 6,344 spectators at the Rose Bowl. Bruce Murray tallied one goal and assisted on another. Brian Quinn and Wynalda also scored.
The USA had booked a spot in the semi-finals, but needed a win against the Ticos, Milutinovic's old team, to top Group B. Six minutes in, Wynalda headed in a Vermes cross for 1-0, before the Central Americans stormed back behind by Juan Carlos Arquedas and Claudio Jara. After Hugo Perez converted a penalty kick thanks to a Costa Rican handball, Hector Marchena gave the Americans a gift, kicking the ball into his net in the 59th minute for a 3-2 victory.
Because Mexico wound put finishing second to Honduras in Group A due to goal differential, El Tri faced the USA before 41,103 at the Coliseum after the Hondurans polished off Costa Rica in the first semi-final, 2-0.
The Americans had but a 2-19-4 record v Mexico, winning in 1934 and 1980.
Mexico coach Manuel Lapuente discounted Bora's influence. "Bora knows Mexico, but Mexico knows Bora," he said.
But the USA knew how to win. Three minutes into the second half, Perez took a free kick that Balboa headed to John Doyle, who curled the ball into the net for a 1-0 advantage. Vermes put the exclamation point on the upset, beating defender Efrain Herrera one-on-one in the 64th minute.
As the game wore on, an intriguing transformation occurred.
"To be honest with you, we were surprised that we were finally able to do something in Concacaf that we weren't able to do in a long time," Balboa said.
Several hours after the game, Lapuente resigned, although some reports had he was fired.
The tournament, however, was not over. There was more business to take care of on July 7 – the championship game against Honduras. Sparing you the dreadful details, there were 120 minutes of scoreless soccer at the Coliseum before things got rolling in the dreaded shootout.
Balboa converted his attempt, as did the Hondurans' Juan Castro. 1-1. Vermes smashed his try against the crossbar and Meola denied Marco Antonio Anariba. Still 1-1.
Perez had his penalty saved by goalkeeper Belarmino Rivera and Meola repeated that on Gilberto Yearwood. Still 1-1. Paul Caligiuri put in his for the USA, as did the Honduras' Eugenio Dolmo Flores. 2-2. In the fifth round, Ted Eck had his kick saved. Antonio Zapata, who could have won the title, skied his chance over the net.
Rivera stopped Brian Quinn's shot as did Meola on Luis Enrique Calix. Dominic Kinnear converted in round seven, as did Luis Vallejo for Honduras. Up stepped Fernando Clavijo, a former Major Indoor Soccer League star, who drilled the ball to the left of the diving Rivera to give the USA a 4-3 lead. Juan Carlos Espinoza needed to score, but he lofted his attempt high over the bar and the Americans had secured their first major tournament victory.
The post-match ceremonies were not as elaborate as today's but the Americans took a well-earned victory lap around the Coliseum and a giant step forward in establishing themselves as a Concacaf power.
"It was a major confidence-builder," Vermes said. "It had so many more valuable, long-lasting remnants of just a good memory. What was left was this idea that we could win. It was a great stepping stone into this confidence when you go on the field that the United States team has to be someone you have to respect for.

As a shallow-water biologist, Catherine McFadden's usual method of coral specimen collection is via SCUBA diving. She also tends to get seasick if she spends much time on a boat. So, when her colleague, deep-water biologist and Harvey Mudd postdoctoral researcher Andra Quattrini, asked McFadden to take her place aboard a two-week, deep-sea exploration cruise last summer, it was with some hesitation that McFadden agreed. Fortunately for her, she didn't get sick, she took her first-ever dive in a submersible vessel, and she ended up being part of an exciting discovery.
As it was McFadden's first dive, she was crowned Queen of the Octocorals when she arrived back on deck. With funding from the National Science Foundation, McFadden's research group at Harvey Mudd College is developing next-generation sequencing-based target-enrichment methods to study phylogenetic relationships and skeletal evolution in anthozoan cnidarians (corals and sea anemones). McFadden is particularly interested in understanding species boundaries and the generation of biodiversity in shallow-water soft corals, and in recent years has focused on the coral reef communities of the South China Sea.
"We thought there might be some coral at the site, but I was expecting a fairly barren landscape of mud and rock with just some small, isolated coral colonies here and there," says McFadden, the Vivian and D. Kenneth Baker Professor of Biology at Harvey Mudd College.
As the Lophelia pertusa grows and dies over many hundreds of years, new Lophelia grows atop the old skeletons, forming 80- to 100-meter high mound structures that stretch further than scientists had imagined. During nearly eight hours in the submersible, McFadden, Cordes and pilot Bruce Strickrott viewed and sampled different coral species, including Enallopsammia, Madrepora and octocorals (plexaurids, primnoids, Anthomastus). Lophelia was by far the most sampled coral.
Instead, McFadden and the expedition's chief scientist Erik Cordes "landed on a massive coral reef formed by a mix of dead coral rubble and large, dense stands of living coral," she says. "It's pretty mind-blowing to know that the existence of this huge biological structure was completely unknown until now and to have been one of the first humans to visit it."
Researchers are using the deep-sea submersible Alvin to visit previously unexplored locations, including canyons, gas seeps and coral ecosystems, in order to identify and ultimately protect sensitive habitats. Passengers can view their surroundings through any of five portholes or via a television monitor inside. The Alvin is equipped with robotic arms, which the pilot can direct to collect coral samples. A platform on the front of the Alvin holds containers designed to hold the samples. As the Alvin holds only three people at a time, scientists who remain on the ship above make a list of specimens for their diving colleagues to look for and collect when they're underwater.

In the somewhat recent past, vehicles had multiple belts, each controlling one specific component. Conversely, almost all cars on the road nowadays have one, long, winding belt—the serpentine belt—which operates the air conditioner, alternator, power steering pump, and sometimes the water pump. There are a few models that have a second belt to control select accessories, but the serpentine belt does the majority of the work.
Because the serpentine belt is so important to the operation of your vehicle, it is designed to last. Due to significant advances in rubber technology, these belts are much tougher and more reliable than the old v-belts. Most will last 60,000 to 100,000 miles under ideal conditions. However, that does not mean they can be ignored.
In the majority of cases, if your serpentine belt breaks, the vehicle will stop running. Nevertheless, not all old belts simply snap. Due to normal wear and tear, they can fray, crack, become "glazed" or shiny, or shed pieces of themselves. A belt that needs to be replaced may become contaminated with fluid, begin to squeal or slip, or become misaligned.
In addition to the band itself, some serpentine belts are manually tensioned and require periodic adjustment. The self-tensioning mechanism found on others can experience excessive wear over time and may need to be serviced or replaced.
Driving around with a damaged or worn belt can have disastrous consequences, as it powers so many things. If it breaks, slips, or simply wears out, everything comes to a halt. Furthermore, you could cause significant damage to your engine or other vital components, depending on the circumstances.
The best way to avoid the inconvenience and expense of breaking down in the middle of nowhere is to have your serpentine belt checked for signs of wear on a regular basis, either during your annual inspection or when the oil is changed. Furthermore, it is a good idea to replace this rather inexpensive, but vital, piece of equipment periodically to avoid any potential problems altogether.
When you need a new belt, or any other reliable auto part, give us a call here at Aero—where we always offer quality merchandise, exceptional service and unbeatable prices!

CBD oil has been gaining more attention every day as the compound has been changing countless lives around the globe. The DEA, specifically, has been watching its development closely ever since CBD's popularity has been increasing at such a rapid pace. So, what is the difference between legal and illegal CBD oil? And how do you know if it really is safe?


Feel free to contact Ron about any of his hands-on or lecture programs.
The following information provides an overview of the various types of vehicle rescue presentations, workshops, and seminars available from Ron Moore and his University of Extrication. The content and delivery of all presentations is designed to specifically address NFPA #1670, Standard for Technical Rescue, Chapter 8 Vehicle Rescue, Operations Level and/or Technician-level competencies. All training programs coincide with Vehicle Rescue 1-2-3, the training textbook written by Ron Moore.
Presentations are delivered in a classroom setting, as a workshop, or delivered to a large audience in an auditorium-type setting and can be customized in length to fit a one-hour, 90-minute or three hour timeframe. Combinations of various training modules can fill an entire day for a "large group" setting. Presentations delivered as hands-on classes are typically one day(8-hour) or two days(16-hour) in length. The Hands-On programs can be presented on either weekdays or weekend days at the discretion of the Host Agency.
University of Extrication programs are delivered all across the United States and Canada. Some of these programs are delivered at national conferences or seminars such as Firehouse World in San Diego or at Firehouse Expo in Baltimore. Most of the University of Extrication programs however are customized programs delivered for a specific department or for one 'Host' department with mutual aid, neighboring departments invited in to attend and participate.
As a bonus, the Host Agency is provided with a CD-ROM that includes all the University of Extrication PowerPoint programs used during the training plus personal instructor notes, skills sheets, resource materials, etc. Permission is granted to the Host Agency to freely duplicate this disc and provide to each participating agency as a seminar handout for local department training purposes.
Topics listed under this heading are organized into presentations lasting from 60 minutes to up to three(3) hours. As stand-alone programs, they are a great fit for a conference or workshop-type program schedule. It is these types of training modules that are delivered at conferences such as Firehouse Expo and Firehouse World. Combined into a full 8-hour training day, these topics can be presented in an auditorium setting for an audience of 100-400+ participants, for example. Although the Host Agency can decide what combination of University of Extrication training programs they want to request, the most popular arrangement for a one-day, Large Group program is listed below.
The University of Extrication Train-the-Trainer program is a 16-hour training program based upon the textbook, Vehicle Rescue & Extrication, 2nd edition. Participants review each of the chapters of the book and learn how the test and supporting materials can be presented as a full-length vehicle rescue training program for basic, intermediate, and advanced level participants.


Both 2-day (Th-F) morning and afternoon and 3-day (M-T-W) morning and afternoon classes are available for children who are three by September 30th. The 3 year-old classes combine the social and emotional development of the child with an informal approach to learning. Children need to be potty trained.

2018: The year of the dog and the backstop…
December 18, 2018 December 18, 2018 Richard RamseyLeave a comment
2018 was the Chinese year of the dog, but in this part of the world, it will go down as the year of the backstop, when promises around the Irish border came back to bite Theresa May. Indeed, some have said that Brexit as a whole was the one instance when the canine caught the car and then didn't know what to do with it.

The Big Economic Quiz of the Year
What were the economic highlights and lowlights of 2018? What will be good, bad and ugly in 2019? Who will be next year's economic villain? What word would you use to sum up what you expect to see in the next 12 months? These and many other questions about the Northern Ireland and global economies are asked and discussed in our new podcast, which we've boldly called the Big Economic Quiz of the Year.
And fittingly, we have some big fish from the local economics community contributing. Angela McGowan, Director of the CBI in Northern Ireland and Richard Johnston, Deputy Director of the Ulster University Economic Policy Centre join our own Richard Ramsey and business journalist Jamie Delargy to review, predict and ruminate.

I had my wisdom teeth out the end of summer. Right after beginning college i started to get head rushes, night sweats and extreme pain in my head, also pressure in my face. In addition my neck hurt like ***l to bend side to side and especially back. I was given antibiotics which took the pain out of my head, but the pressure remained.
I am now on a very strong antibiotic but the pain in my neck is still the same(really bad) and my lymph nodes still swollen on the left side of my neck. PLEASE HELP if you have any ideas.
From what I know, if you have swollen glands in a localized area it is likely to be from a bacterial infection--that is why they gave you the antibiotics. If you have generalized lymph node inflammation it is more likely to be viral (e.g., hiv, mono or CMV) or some sort of systemtic illness (e.g., lupus or other autoimmune disorders). I would guess that in your case it is an acute infection of a specific node or nodes being caused by something relative to the dentist. It will probably go away on its own, and I don't know how to treat that. Good luck.
My Son Has The Same Thing, We Even Had A Tooth Pulled Because We Thought It Was Abcessed. What Was Your Outcome? He Is On The 6th Day Of Strong Antibiotics And The Swelling Is Still As Bad As It Was And The Pain Is Unbearable Even On Lotab And Ibuprofen. Let Me Know How You Are Doing Please.
I ended up having an mri and blood tests for lyme disease which were all negative. the swollen glands in my neck have gone down a little and the head rushes are gone. the neck pain has remained the same though which is very frustrating. I was even sent to a psychiatrist and given anxiety medicine because doctors feel that stress is causing some of these things. I ended up having about 4 weeks of amoxiccilan which i would recommend. i even had a teeth cleaning and exam with no negative results. i have never even had a cavity and i am almost 19 years old. I am in my fourth month of this but feel like i am over the worst of it, . let me know how he;s doing thanks.
Hi All, In October of last year I had a simple cold. A week after getting over the cold, I found a lump of the left side of my neck. I waited a week figuring that the lump was because I had just gotten over a cold and it would probably go away. After a week of waiting, my lymph node grew more and more, and soon started to become unbearable. I went to the doctor and he said it was because I was sick with the cold and that he would still do some blood work to make sure I didn't have mono (which I had when I was 16) and lymphoma. He told me that he would let me know of the results as soon as he found out. He never let me know, but I figured it would go away soon. About 4 to 5 days later, my neck grew even more. I tried to get an appointment to see a doctor and was unable to. I decided to go to the E.R. The E.R. doctor on duty was shocked by the size of my lymph node (which at this time was around 3-4 cm big) and asked me if I had any dental problems, mono, lymphoma, etc. They gave me antiobotics and put me on steriods for about 9 hours. I was sent home with a prescription and an appointment with a ear, nose, and throat doc. While I was on steriods and antibiotics, my lymph node reduced in size. As soon as I finised the steriods it increased once again. After another visit to the E.R. and an appointment with the ENT, I was put on antiobiotics and steriods again and then as soon as I was taken off steriods, it grew again. The week of Thanksgiving, I was admitted into the hospital.
To make a long story short, they thought that maybe I had branchial cleft cyst, congenital cysts, that arise in the lateral aspect of the neck when the second branchial cleft fails to close during embryonic development. When they opened me up they saw I in fact did not have it. I had two lymph nodes removed and since then I have felt great. My lymph nodes were biopsied and found to have signs of infection. My doctor did another blood test and found that I had Cat Scratch Disease. This can be treated by antiobiotics usually, but in my case they did not work. So moral of the story, check for Bartonella henslae, Cat Scratch Disease when getting blood work done. This was a miserable experience for me as well. My lymph nodes grew to about 6cm the last time I went to the E.R. and they were very painful to move and touch. I couldn't even drive. Use warm compresses and ask for every blood test there is.
what were your symptons? my daughter is 12 and just tested for cat scratch. she he swollen lymph nodes on her neck and now have sharp pains in her neck... she has been on an antiobotic for 2wks and its not helped.she has not had a fever or anything and no sore throat. Thank you.
I felt in the beginning like I just had a really bad cold. After that I started to lose weight, and my neck was very painful to move and I also experienced sharp pains. Also, I was very tired all the time- I thought it was maybe just stress, but now looking back I was more sick than I thought. If the medicine isn't working on your daughter, I would ask to have a CT scan to see maybe if it is an abscess, a pus pocket forming in her neck from the infection (which may need a needle aspiration) or if the lymph node(s) is so infected like mine that it may need to be taken out. I was put on two different antibiotics that were supposed to treat Cat Scratch Disease before I actually had surgery and I did not respond to any. Of course, surgery is the last option, I would push to get the scan and see what it going on inside. I also had another scan, I am not really sure what it is called, but I had to drink a special white-pasty mix (that made me glow) while they took pictures of my neck and throat to see inside. I hope this helps!
Hello- Sadly your story sounds all to familar. Believe it or not I am dealing with the out come of wisdom teeth pulled out back in 1989. I had your same symptoms......was given tons of anti-biotics and percodan. My oral surgeon finally became annoyed with my whinning. Years went by and my face/jaw/lymph nodes were never the same. I spent many nights crying...my husband and Doctor (S), thought I was nuts. I had m.r.i.'s, bone scan, several c.t. scans, x-rays (of my whole face) lots of blood work. Then one day back in 2005 I went to a Dentist my friend worked for and asked him to have a look at my jaw/gums......an old time x-ray of one of the wisdom removal sights was done.....he said " Now if you look really closly you can see a faint, almost unrecognizable shade in your bone. See it?---LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE SOME OLD DENTAL MATTER IN THERE." The long and short of it is that I infact had ancient guaze, part of the peridontal ligament and tons of black fluid inside a hollow little bowl formed by necrotic bone. Yikes! Google ---BONE CAVITATION or OSTEOMYELITIS OF THE JAW. So far I have had 2 surgeries...& more in the near future. Also interesting to note....I broke my foot, then had 2 surgeries to repair it...on the last surgery my surgeon said..."Wow...Osteomyelitis? Wish I'd known that years ago......you should have been on i.v. antibiotics after initial break and folling all surgeries." Needless to say the Osteomyelitis spreads to weak or damaged bones. Another YIPPEEE. The funny thing is I called the original oral surgeon.......He was VERY annoyed that I called to ask him where I should send the black decayed guaze from my jaw. Apparently I have NO RECOURSE....law id 3 years from date of discovery OR 1 year from date of injury...which ever comes first.SO YOU BETTER GET ON IT.
Hey everyone,I came across this page while doing searches for an extremely painful lymph node I have in my neck. I've had it for three months and while the swelling isn't abnormally bad, the pain is really terrible. As other people have commented, it's also contributed to a lot of exhaustion. I've seen three doctors, one of which is an ear, nose and throat doctor. All have not taken this seriously and told me it would run its course. I am wondering if there is a certain specialization of medical practice that focuses on glands? Or any other form of doctor that I can go to that will take this problem seriously. Of course, I am assuming the worst here but I'd like to get down to the bottom of this. I assume it isn't viral since it's only on one side. However, if it's an infection of some kind, it could be all sorts of things. I haven't had my wisdom teeth removed yet and I'm wondering if this could be contributing to the problem.Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!
This is a great site and I have read all the posts.YOGA is definitely a good solution....I received a yoga certification for 200 hours and in that course, which I mainly took for my own knowledge, I learned that Yoga allows circulation of the blood and clearing of the toxins by stimulating the lymph nodes circulation as well. I am having swollen lymph nodes on my neck and surrounding area on the left side. I have not been doing much yoga lately, and I think I will start again tonight. Maresh is right, 30-60 minutes a day WILL do wonders. I would suggest creating a morning "sun salutation" ritual for 10 or so sun salutation sequences. You can look them up online, they have many variances. I like the Ashtanga or Vinyasa sun salutations.Also, the spine warm up series is a few moves (child's pose, cat, cow, thread the needle) that only take 5-10 minutes each night and morning.www.yogajournal.com has some good info on their site, as well as 100's of others. Try a search on "yoga" and "lymph nodes swollen" or similar.Good luck!Medication should always me the LAST solution. Our bodies have their own amazing healing effects thru energy, thought, meditation, food/herbs, and yoga. Believe in your own ability to heal.
Yikes-I've had this unbearable pain for almost 2 weekd to think that it could go on with out relief for months is very scary.. My doctor gave me ammoxicilian.. he told me if doesn't go away in the next three days,that I should see him again.. I have no idea what brought this on. He did mention that he thought it might be dental related... If I'm still expereincing this I will ask for this "cat scatch test"
My daughter has a cyst on top of a swollen lymph node. Her pediatrician has her currently on an antibiotic and yet the pain continues. She also found another cyst on top of a node under the chin. We return back to the doctor this week and maybe she can give us some idea. She told us that it could just be an infection so she put her on antibiotics. She did say that if it has not improved that she would explore other options. One professor i work with had the exact same symptoms. He went to the doctor and after about 5 months was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that was found behind the base of the tongue. It is rare and the lymph node swelling was what helped the doctors diagnose the problem. He has been cancer free for 4 years now and we hope that his cancer is gone.
I have read the messages here, but my symptoms I think are a little diffrent. I hope maybe you can help me too. My nodes on the back side of my neck are swollen and hurt awful. I haven't had a tooth pulled recently. The are swollen. The dr. said they would go away and that was it. He said I might have an infection some where, but did no blood work. They are about the size of grapes @ the base of my skull. Anyone have any ideas? Please?

Roughriders re-sign all-star quarterback Fajardo through 2022 season
January 5, 2021, 4:04 p.m. ·4 min read
Quarterback Cody Fajardo says he can't wait to be back on the field with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
"I'm chomping at the bit to play some football," said Fajardo, who signed a contract extension with the Riders through the 2022 season. "I went to my backyard after everything was final and I kind of threw the football at a few trees and a few trash cans back there because I just want to throw the football."
The 6-foot-2, 215 pound Fajardo had a breakout year in 2019 with the Riders.
The 28-year-old led the Riders to a 13-5 finish in 2019, only the third time the team finished in first place since 1975, and led the league with 4,302 passing yards.
For his efforts, Fajardo was named a CFL all-star and the West Division nominee for Most Outstanding Player.
Fajardo said Regina is a special place to play.
"I want to be here as long as the team wants me to be here, because there's nothing like going out to practice, seeing fans in the stands, going to dinner, talking to kids who said that they were pretending to be me in their backyard," Fajardo said.
"Those are the little things that I'm going to remember for the rest of my life, not the touchdowns at the end of the game or the two-minute drives. It's going to be those little things that truly make you feel like you have a purpose in playing football."
Fajardo was down to the last year on his contract. Rider general manager Jeremy O'Day said the team wanted to have security at quarterback for the next couple of years.
"Thankfully, he was wanting to stay with with our organization and obviously makes you feel pretty good when your quarterback wants to come back," O'Day said.
Fajardo said that, like a lot of other CFL quarterbacks, he is taking a pay cut for the 2021 season.
"We got our signing bonus in 2019, so we were able to live comfortably and there was a lot guys hurting more than us," Fajardo said.
"I took a pretty decent pay cut. [O'Day] was very willing to help me out, though, here in 2022 moving forward. So to be able to give a little bit now to make a little bit more on the back end was something that I was willing to do and I thought it would work for both parties."
He said it was also a way to show leadership off the field.
"If I'm the guy who goes out and says, 'I want the money, I want the money,' and then try and go in the locker room and be a leader a different way, guys would be like, it's conflicting."
The pay cut could also help keep some of the Riders top players from moving on, he said.
"I think that O'Day should be able to retain, as you saw, a lot of our top guys from last year as well as bringing some young guys who can really make some plays on the field.," Fajardo said.
Prior to joining the Riders, Fajardo spent one season with the B.C. Lions and two with the Toronto Argonauts, where he won a Grey Cup in 2017.
The California native attended the University of Nevada, where he became just the second player in Division I history to reach 9,000 yards passing and 3,000 yards rushing, joining Nevada alumni Colin Kaepernick.
Fajardo said there is unfinished business for him here after the 2020 season was cancelled and with it a chance at playing in the Grey Cup in Regina.
"I thought our 2020 team on paper was one of the most talented teams I think the league would have seen," he said.
"So I felt like we were robbed with the COVID stuff in 2020. I wanted to be able to hopefully play in a home Grey Cup game in 2022. But I've got to take care of 2021 first."
He said he is happy to see so many players back, including running back William Powell, defensive back Nick Marshall, offensive lineman Dan Clark receiver Shaq Evans.
"I told my wife that was one of my favourite Christmas gifts of the year, was having those guys back around us," he said.
"I'm willing to help the team in any way I can because the ultimate goal is winning a Grey Cup. It's not being the highest paid player. It's not making a bunch of money. It's about putting a ring on everyone's finger and celebrating those times with those guys in the locker room. "
Washington appoints NBA G League's 2nd female GM, Nichols
The NBA gave Orlando coach Steve Clifford a call recently, telling him he had to do a better job of keeping his mask on during games. Clifford's didn't argue. "Yes, sir," he said. Nobody would argue the need for utmost of caution in the NBA, which has endured a rough week — 11 games postponed since Sunday amid positive COVID-19 tests for some players and potential exposures determined through contact tracing keeping others off the floor for several days. The latest two postponements were announced Friday; Cleveland's games at Washington on Sunday and Monday are off because the Wizards won't have enough players. Washington has six players positive, general manager Tommy Sheppard said, along with three others out for contact-tracing issues and two more injured. "The NBA's been pointing to this period for quite some time, that this was going to be very difficult," Sheppard said. "And they weren't kidding." Miami could get as many as six of its eight COVID-affected players who have missed time this week — mostly because of contact tracing — back Saturday for a game against Detroit; Avery Bradley and Jimmy Butler will remain out, the team said. The Wizards are just hoping to be able to have players in to resume workouts. No basketball has been played in their facility for most of this week. "We have six players right now," Sheppard said. The league and the National Basketball Players Association earlier this week stiffened the protocols that players must live by during these delicate times, and coaches aren't exempt from saying they need to be more diligent on the safety front as well — particularly when it comes to masks. Properly wearing masks is part of life now, not just NBA life, as part of the effort to fend off the coronavirus. But when coaches feel the need to yell, many still succumb to the urge to tug the mask down and make sure their voice is heard without whatever muffling can be caused by a thin piece of fabric. "It isn't always easy," Toronto coach Nick Nurse said. "Sometimes I'm in the huddle or on the floor, and I'm doing all kinds of things to try to keep my mask on (and) let guys hear me, and after the third time they say 'Coach, I can't hear what you're saying,' you try to pull it down quick." The postponed games, going back to Sunday, involve 14 teams. It was also learned this week that 16 players tested positive in recent days, which was more than the NBA had seen in the last five weeks combined. And next week's report has the potential to be equally bad, possibly worse. Boston didn't play for a full week and had three games pushed back. Miami lost twice in Philadelphia with half its roster unavailable. Phoenix had a three-game homestand wiped away because the Suns didn't have enough players to field a team. And now the Wizards have seen a league-high four games postponed. They last played Monday, against Phoenix. The earliest they'll play again is this coming Wednesday in Charlotte. "I think four teams have missed multiple games," Sheppard said. "I think that's a small victory considering what's going on out there around the league." The league made it through the season's first 2-1/2 weeks with just one postponement related to COVID-19. The tally is up to 12 now, and counting. Postponed games, when possible, will be made up in the second half of the season, which will take place from March 11 — the one-year anniversary of last season shutting down because of the pandemic — through May 16. The league ramped up the protocols as part of its response to the recent developments, putting in strict, albeit temporary, limits on what players can do both at home and on the road — essentially limiting them to practices, games, workouts and tending to essential matters. Additional testing and roster increases are under consideration. Coaches say they must do their part. "Your form of communication has to change," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. "But I can't even believe how much of the norm this has become. I'll be in my hotel room, by myself, a lot of times with my mask on and not even realize it." Most NBA games are being played with no fans or just a few in the seats, yet games are still loud thanks to tons of piped-in fake cheers and boos, along with booming music. So even without crowds, crowd noise exists. It's a challenge for coaches. Clifford is a big-time mask proponent, and has been since even before the league restarted last season in the Walt Disney World bubble near Orlando. He has been preaching the values of mask-wearing for months. "I think there were seven of us who got a call from the league about 'Keep your mask on,'" Clifford said. "So, I'm going to do better, no matter what. I have some masks that are easier for the guys to hear than others. I'm just going to wear the right mask. I've got to do better." ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Tim Reynolds, The Associated Press

Falcons pick Titans offensive co-ordinator Smith as new coach
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to terms with Tennessee Titans offensive co-ordinator Arthur Smith to become the team's head coach. The Falcons announced the agreement on Friday. Smith held a virtual interview with the team on Monday and he also interviewed with the New York Jets and Detroit Lions. The Jets reached an agreement with Robert Saleh on Thursday night to be their coach. The 38-year-old Smith has served on the Tennessee staff for 10 seasons, including two as offensive co-ordinator. The Titans finished this season tied for second in the NFL in total yards. Under Smith's leadership, the Titans finished behind only Kansas City in total offence with 396.4 yards. They had the NFL's second-best rushing offence as Derrick Henry became only the eighth back to rush for at least 2,000 yards. The Titans' offensive success, especially on the ground, may have been especially appealing to the Falcons, who finished ahead of only five teams in rushing this season. The Titans went 11-5 to win the AFC South, but were eliminated from the playoffs Sunday with a 20-13 loss to Baltimore. It was Tennessee's fewest points of the season. The Falcons also are seeking a replacement for general manager Thomas Dimitroff, who was fired along with coach Dan Quinn following an 0-5 start that led to a 4-12 finish. Quinn was hired as the Dallas Cowboys' defensive co-ordinator on Monday. Quinn left Atlanta with an overall record of 43-42, including a 14-23 mark since the beginning of the 2018 season. He was 3-2 in two post-season appearances. Smith was one of seven candidates to interview with Atlanta, including interim coach Raheem Morris. Other offensive co-ordinators to interview with the Falcons were Green Bay's Nathaniel Hackett, Carolina's Joe Brady and Kansas City's Eric Bieniemy. Saleh and Tampa Bay defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles also interviewed for the job. Morris went 4-7 as the interim coach. Smith coached Tennessee's tight ends before his promotion to offensive co-ordinator. He worked under four head coaches at Tennessee after he was hired as a defensive assistant and quality control coach in 2011. In 2019, Smith helped the Titans rebound from a 2-4 start to advance to the AFC championship game for the first time in 17 years. Smith helped the Titans offence gain momentum with quarterback Ryan Tannehill as the starter. Over the final 11 weeks of the 2019 season, Tennessee ranked third in the league in total offence and scoring. Smith, a native of Memphis, Tenn., worked under coach Joe Gibbs as Washington's defensive quality control coach from 2007-08. He spent 2010 as an administrative assistant at Mississippi before returning to the NFL. ___ More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Charles Odum, The Associated Press

*The performance of "Untitled (Lesson)" by Nance Klehm will be presented at approximately 8:00pm during the opening reception.
This one goes out to all you bloated-stomach Thanksgiving celebrants, you 4am Best Buy Black Friday tent-pitchers, youDamien Hirst diamond skull collectors, you non-recyclers and you Gucci Mane enthusiasts. These are foodstamp and slim wallettimes after all, and by now it should be clear that the best way forward is on your tiptoes, preferably in some nice soft leather moccasins. Your friends at BEN RUSSELL are here to help you focus your art consumption by 2/3rds, to find a use for all yourapple picking surplus and, if you do end up throwing anything away, to make sure that it ends up in that compost pile out back. With our help, you'll realize that gaudy neon flourishes are so 2008, that neo-minimalism persists only because Minimalism was abandoned far too soon, and that even "less is more" can be LESSENed to much less.
1) ABATE: From a Paiute American Indian reservation in California, ecologist/urban forager/gardener Nance Klehm gives us a virtual lesson on how to reduce and reuse our trace in the material world.
2) DECAY: Casey Lurie presents Apple Structure 2, the second iteration in a series of outdoor structures designed to be built using only quarter-inch dowel rods and apples as joints.
3) DIMINISH: In which the cash money ice glitz bling of hip-hop and R&B's greatest is subjected to the minimalist compositional tendencies of Joe Grimm's sonic minimalism/process art installation.
4) MINIMIZE: Complicating the transcendent ambition of high modernism's abstract expressionism, Ben Foch employs a common house painting roller to create a large scale gestural painting with an economy of means.
5) REDUCE: Michael Snow's 1967 seminal structuralist 16mm film Wavelength, comprising of a 44:00 zoom across a NYC loft, is screened in its 2003 15:00 video iteration as WVLNT (Wavelength For Those Who Don't Have the Time).
BEN FOCH was born in Park Forest, IL. in 1977. He received his BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. Foch's practice is diverse, utilizing several formal devices to reach his ideological ends, specifically the boundaries and definitions of artistic expression and the minimum criteria for an objects claim to high art. He has exhibited nationally and recently at the now defunct Pilsen space VEGA ESTATES and the Hyde Park Art Center. Foch states: "The next logical space for pictorial investigation is economic. Formal distinctions are fundamentally economic distinctions and perception is the currency of the future." He lives and works in Chicago.
JOE GRIMM is a Chicago-based artist who uses sound and light to investigate sensory experience and its construction. His work applies rational, structuralist tools in pursuit of irrational, ecstatic results. Performances and installations frequently take the form of meditations: resonance, repetition, friction, and disintegration become the hypnotic focal points in an attempt to reach a state of inner tranquility and heightened attention to sonic minutiae. He has shown at CAPC Bordeaux, La Casa Encendida Madrid, BMOCA, The Boston Cyberarts Festival, and in basements and squats worldwide.
NANCE KLEHM is a radical ecologist, designer, urban forager, grower and teacher. Her solo and collaborative work focuses on creating participatory social ecologies in response to a direct experience of a place. She grows and forages much of her own food in a densely urban area. She actively composts food, landscape and human waste. She only uses a flush toilet when no other option is available. She designed and currently manages a large scale, closed-loop vermicompost project at a downtown Chicago homeless shelter where cafeteria food waste becomes 4 tons of worm castings a year which in turn is used as the soil that grows food to return to the cafeteria. Nance has shown and taught in Mexico, Australia, England, Scandinavia, Canada, the Caribbean, and the United States. Her regular column 'WEEDEATER' appears in ARTHURmagazine.
CASEY LURIE is an artist and designer based in Chicago. Born in Goleta, California in 1976, Casey is a recent graduate of Northwestern's Art Theory and Practice department (M.F.A., 2009) and has also studied at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, and California Institute of the Arts (B.F.A., 1998). A trained cabinet maker and carpenter Casey's work takes many forms and often explores the tension between man-made constructions and natural processes. Casey's work has been exhibited in the US and Asia.
MICHAEL SNOW is considered one of Canada's most important living artists, and one of the world's leading experimental filmmakers. His wide-ranging and multidisciplinary oeuvre explores the possibilities inherent in different mediums and genres, and encompasses film and video, painting, sculpture, photography, writing, and music. Snow's practice comprises a thorough investigation into the nature of perception. He played a major role in the "structural" film movement with such works as Wavelength (1967), Back and Forth (1969), and La Région Centrale (1971), exploring the world through deliberate and explicit decisions about formal approaches. Snow has had solo exhibitions and/or film retrospectives at the Venice Biennale, New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Paris Centre Pompidou, Cinémathèque Française, and elsewhere.
