Adrian David Cheok has been invited to be the Editor-in-Chief of the new journal Multimodal Technologies and Interaction (MTI).
Multimodal Technologies and Interaction (ISSN 2414-4088) is an international, multi/interdisciplinary, open access, peer-reviewed journal which publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes, and short communications on this subject. MTI focuses on fundamental and applied research dealing with all kinds of technologies that can acquire and/or reproduce unimodal and multimodal digital content that supports interaction (e.g. human–computer, human–robot and animal–computer). Such technologies may produce visual, tactile, sonic, taste, smell, flavor or any other kind of content that can enrich consumer/user experience.
Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish experimental, theoretical and computational results in as much detail as possible, so that results can be easily reproduced. There is, therefore, no restriction on the length of the papers.

Stansted Airport today celebrated the first flight by an international Middle Eastern airline from its runways.
A new Emirates Boeing 777-300 plane, which boasts virtual windows in its first class cabins, touched down at Stansted (STN) in its inaugural flight from Dubai (DXB).
The flight marks the first time that direct flights to the UAE have operated from the Eastern region of the UK.
"In our 27 year history, this is a great moment," said Stansted CEO Ken O'Toole. "I think Essex likes a bit of bling, so bells and whilstles will go down very well here!" he joked about the Emirates plane, which also features fully-enclosed private suites in first class.
Despite the government announcement earlier this week that Heathrow would be getting a third runway, weakening Stansted's own case for also needing an additional runway, Mr O'Toole is buoyant about his airport's future.
Stansted also has a planning application currently under consideration Uttlesford District Council to boost its infrastructure in order to increase the maximum passenger throughput at Stansted Airport from 35 million passengers per annum to 43 million per annum. "This week we received the support of the government for this application, and more than 1,200 local people and businesses have written to the council in support of our application," said Mr O'Toole.
Emirates Airways Divisional Vice President UK Richard Jewsbury says the new route isn't just for tourists headed to Dubai, but also for people who want to explore the far East and Australasia. "Its also about the corporate business market as Dubai is a business centre in its own right but it also offers also seamless business connections to Hong Kong, Shang Hai and Singapore.

"Coast To Coast (On A Piece Of Toast" was the last musical project worked on by Sam Andrew of Big Brother And The Holding Company before his untimely passing on February 12th of this year. What an amazing opus for this legendary pioneer of Psychedelic Rock to leave us with!
The album is fifteen tracks of original tracks that are a brilliant blend of styles including Rock, Blues, Jazz, Gospel and Funk and is intriguing in its smooth complexity and attention to musical detail. The aforementioned genres are written and performed to perfection. The musician ship is top shelf and Mary Bridget Davies voice exudes a star quality that should be heard and appreciated around the world. I know that Sam had to be incredibly proud to work with her as well as Ben Nieves and Jim Wall to produce this treasure chest of musical memories.
The album is special to me for personal reasons. Sam was kind enough to meet with me in 2009, not long after I had launched Boomerocity. His openness about details about his life and career made my chat with him very special and something that I'll always reflect on and never forget. It's against that mental backdrop that I listen to this album and remember a man who didn't need to give me the time of day, let alone a couple of hours of his time.
If you want to own a piece of musical history as well as be thoroughly and delightfully entertained, you will most definitely want to order your copy of "Coast To Coast (On A Piece Of Toast). You can order or download your own copy through CDBaby (here).

What Is an Experience That Had a Deep Impact on How You See the World?
We all have an experience that has shaped our worldview. Think about yours.
Below is a list of experiences.
They came from a dinner party that my co-founder attended with a group of strangers where they were asked a question: What is an experience that had a deep impact on how you see the world?
These were some of the responses:
Caring for a child
Being a minority
Begging for money
Being on a jury
Performing a mathematical proof
Experiencing death/loss
Killing an animal
Shitting in the woods
Firing someone from their job
This is a fun (and important) thought exercise. It'll cause you to reflect and refocus your perspective—even if it's just for a moment.
I did. My response is below.
Share your experience on LinkedIn here.
When I turned 30, I quit drinking. (I'm currently 42). This almost wasn't my choice for the top experience. Because it was more like a decision as opposed to an experience. But it actually was in a moment, a single experience, that I made this choice. So it felt appropriate.
The birth of my kid, choosing my (now) wife on a dating app, taking a huge leap of faith to move to a random state that I had never been to before for a job with zero guarantees (including a paycheck) all came up as potential numbers ones.
But none of those would have been possible had I kept drinking. I would have blown them all up just like I was doing to everything else in my life at the time.
That might sound heavy or overly dramatic. But it's not, really. It's just my choice. And now it's just life. But looking back, it was for sure the catalyst for all that's good in my life today. It's allowed me to love myself, love others, and it makes most of life's challenges feel completely insignificant.

S1:E19 - Candi Fisher is In the Studio with Calamity Jane
In The Studio with Calamity Jane is a show highlighting the incredible women of Las Vegas!
In this episode, we sit down with Candi Fisher, founder of the Atomic Rollergirls, a roller derby league right here in Las Vegas. You can find them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
View other episodes, read the transcripts, and subscribe to our YouTube channel!
If you're an amazing woman in Las Vegas (or know one), fill out the guest application for a chance to be In the Studio with Calamity Jane!
Hello, welcome to another episode of In The Studio With Calamity Jane. My name is Jodi, also known as Calamity Jane.
Our purpose with this series is to find women doing amazing things in our community and give them the spotlight for a moment.
Joining me today is Candi Fisher with the Atomic Rollergirls. Welcome to the show, Candi.
[Candi]: Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here.
Tell us a little bit about the Atomic Rollergirls.
The Atomic Roller Girls are a Las Vegas-based roller derby team, and our purpose is to promote the sport of roller derby by empowering strong, positive role models for our league, and partnering with other local non-profits to enrich the lives of citizens of Las Vegas.
How did you come to start the Atomic Rollergirls?
I started the Atomic Rollergirls in 2014. I had discovered the sport of roller derby in 2012. I was looking for something to stay active. I had just had a child, and I love roller skating. I grew up roller skating, and I saw that Las Vegas had roller derby, and I immediately went to go check it out, and was hooked; I wanted to do it.
I joined a local league and was with them for a while. I officiated, refereed, skated, but then, it wasn't quite a good fit for me and I did not want to give up the sport of roller derby because I had just fallen in love with it and everything that it brought to the community. and just the feeling of camaraderie.
I was ready to commute to a team in California or Arizona, wherever I had to go to continue to skate, and my husband said, "Why don't you just start a team of your own?" And then, Atomic Rollergirls was born.
What do you feel makes you successful?
I feel that our success stems from the focus on the team. There is no "I" in team and that is very true in roller derby. We're a team not because we have to be, but we're a team because we want to be, and that's what makes our league great. That's what makes it successful because everybody has a passion, they're there because they have a passion for the sport and they want to see our league succeed.
So roller derby is a for the skater, by the skater sport and we are truly a for the skater, by the skater league.
What piece of advice would you give a new entrepreneur who's just getting started?
As with any business, roller derby, even though it is a league, it's a business first. So when I thought about starting the league, the first thing I did was I did my research. I found out what exactly I would need to make sure that we could run a successful business before I created the league. So making sure that you meet with city officials to find out what type of permitting is involved in your area because when we first started, we were skating at a public park so I made sure to contact Clark County Parks to make sure that what we were doing was legal and okay, to see if it required any permitting.
A lot of leagues forget about things like that. They just build the league, and then have to worry about starting the business after the league is already formed and at times, that can be very difficult depending on the type of jurisdiction that you're in. Anybody starting a business, definitely, you wanna do your research first, and find out what you would need to actually be able to legally have and maintain a business in the area that you're in.
And now, the famous questionnaire that was asked for 26 years by the great Bernard Pivot and made famous on In The Actors Studio:
What is your favorite word?
I'm gonna say probably the word I use the most, and it's not really a word, it's just 'duh-duh-derp'. You will hear me at practice saying that all the time. It's how I correct a skater if they do something wrong. It's a noise I make if somebody falls. It's a noise I make if I want somebody's attention, just 'duh-duh-derp'.
What is your least favorite word?
My least favorite word? I would say it's a combination of two words: "I can't". I don't like hearing that from people because you can do anything you set your mind to. To quote Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try." If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right, so when I hear a skater come up against something tough and they say, "I can't do it," I don't like hearing that. I want to get them out of that; I want them to feel like they can do anything they set their mind to.
What turns you on creatively, emotionally, or spiritually?
Positivity. Positivity when I have people around me that are empowering, and positive, and motivated, that is what really gets me going. It helps me because even I get in funk, and get in that rut, and get stuck, so when I'm surrounded by people that are energetic, and positive, and motivating, that keeps me right there with 'em.
What turns you off?
Negativity, any, any type of negativity. When I have a big task in front of me, sometimes I just want to shut down, and if somebody is just giving all the negative aspects of it, that tends to consume. And you don't want to go there, so you wanna stay positive. So really, any time someone brings any type of negativity to me, I'm very quick to either walk away or just shut that down, instantly.
What is your favorite curse word?
Can I say it? My favorite, most frequently used is For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Fuck. I say it all the time; it is sentence flavoring for me. I will decorate every sentence with it. It's how people know that I'm serious about something 'cause I will use that word very liberally.
What sound or noise do you love?
The sound of cheering. The sound of a happy, entertained crowd. The sound of people being pleased by what they've seen, and clapping will do that, a clap, a cheer, a yell, a whistle, as long as it's not a cat call. But an empowering, like "way to go" cheer, that is the best sound.
What sound or noise do you hate?
Whining. When people complain and whine, that is a terrible sound. I'd rather hear nails scratching the chalkboard, a fork scraping a plate, but if I hear somebody whining, it literally makes me want to punch them in the throat.
What profession, other than your own, would you like to attempt?
I would love to act. I would love to act in musicals because I like to act and I like to sing. So a musical star, maybe Broadway.
What profession would you not like to do?
I don't think I could handle being in the medical field. I had previously been in the medical field, in an administrative aspect, and being a doctor is just high stress, and even though sometimes it can be a very enriching career, I don't think I could handle literally life-and-death situations depending on me.
If Heaven exists what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
The roller derby track's that way.
[Jodi]: Thanks for being on the show today, Candi.
[Candi]: Thank you for having me, it was wonderful to be here.
And thank you for watching. Join us for the next episode of In the Studio with Calamity Jane, where we put another amazing woman from Las Vegas in the spotlight.
Special thanks to Gigi from Gigi's Rockin' Jewels, who gave me these beautiful accessories to wear!

If it's 2013 and you're reading this, it's probably because you were redirected here when we changed domains. You're most likely looking for our jobs for felons list, which can be found by clicking here or using the navigation bar.
There is a list of felon friendly employers now up in the Employment section. I have linked each employers hiring website if you just click on it. The ones that aren't linked are companies that don't hire through their own website, but rather a site like monster.com or indeed.com. Hopefully this will help people in their job search, as I haven't been able to find a good, up-to-date, list of companies that hire ex-offenders in a while.
In other news the rest of the blog is pretty much functional as well. There are some links in the resources section to a few forums and other sites for ex offenders. This will be updated with more things in the coming days. If you are aware of anything of this nature and would like to see it linked please feel free to contact me and I'll check it out, then link it.
As for me, things are going well. Just trying to live life one day at a time. I'm glad I have something to do with some of my free time now with this blog.
Community Education Center hires ex-offenders.

Regina Duggins (Founder), Ron Rico Judon (VP), Latisha Bradley (Secretary), Jermaine Beigen (Community Outreach) Queen Symone O'Bishop, Queen Crystal Guysir and Emperor Beau O'Bishop. Provided/Charleston Black Pride
Shante Savage attended the 2017 Charleston Pride Parade. A new group called Charleston Black Pride has since branched off from the Charleston Pride organization. File/Michael Campina/Special to The Post and Courier
Charleston Pride Week has begun, but not all of the Lowcountry's LGBTQ community is celebrating.
A group of Charleston Pride members have split from the organization, claiming it wasn't meeting their needs.
Duggins said she felt like other Charleston Pride board members, many of whom are white gay males, were not actively seeking and supporting diversity within the organization. There are at least five people of color, out of 15 members, currently on the Charleston Pride board.
When she became a board member two years ago, Duggins was the only African American lesbian to fill the role, but she said the board wasn't the only place in the organization lacking people of color. Many of the organization's programs, she said, were inherently exclusive, from their locations to their themes to their pricing.
"Most of the events have a downtown location, while a lot of the LGBTQ black community is in North Charleston and Summerville," she explained.
Last year, she said Charleston Pride also dropped the ball in flying a variation of the Pride rainbow flag that represents LGBTQ people of color, though it was approved during a board meeting. That broke trust within the organization, she said.
Yet Duggins said she didn't found Charleston Black Pride to start a rivalry. Instead, she wants to show that awareness, inclusivity and diversity have to be more present within the organization. There are hopes to rejoin with Charleston Pride once those values have been prioritized.
Duggins also said that Pride Week was the crux of the organization, and one place the organization did a good job in supporting diverse one-time performers, but not many other events or programs were being held throughout the year to cater to the year-round diverse community.
"Pride Week's entertainment for the last couple of years has been an African American headliner, but we're more than just entertainment," she said. "We're in business, we're in arts, we're in social change, we're in activism — and we didn't feel like we were really being honored."
So far, Charleston Black Pride has hosted both brunch meet-ups for mingling and vigils for local trans people of color who were murdered. A homebuyers' seminar is being hosted in September, and People Against Rape will be on site providing resources. Duggins has hopes to host Town Hall meetings, where the conversation about LGBTQ people of color's place in the community transcends brunch tables and group gatherings.
Charleston isn't the only city to have a Black Pride organization. Duggins attended an August conference in Kansas City hosted by the Center for Black Equity that convened Black Prides from across the country and beyond, including New York City, Atlanta and Paris. There is also a South Carolina Black Pride organization based in Columbia.
During a weekend of training, Duggins and the others discussed issues that they've faced in regards to other non-black Prides. One unique aspect to Charleston that poses a challenge is that religion is closely tied with the local African American community.
"People of color are in a hidden society when they're in a Bible Belt state because of religious affiliation and people feeling ostracized from their families and their churches," Duggins said.
Reverend Robert Arrington, pastor of the Unity Fellowship Church of Charleston, said he is the area's only openly gay African American reverend. He's been supportive of Charleston Black Pride since Duggins founded it.
"So much of the LGBTQ community of color are in churches where they are abused and talked down to because of their sexuality," Arrington said.
He said that's a part of the local black religious culture, but he's trying to change that.
Former Miss South Carolina Pride and state ambassador of Pride Jason Marion, known by drag queen name Symone N. O'Bishop, said that the lack of needs-oriented programming, such as that provided by the Alliance for Full Acceptance and We Are Family, is one issue within Charleston Pride.
"When you think of what's being offered and what's being needed, it doesn't always match up," Marion said.
Nevertheless, Marion is performing in this year's Charleston Pride and will be a part of the parade. So will Charleston Black Pride, which has a float. Though there are issues yet to be addressed, Duggins said Charleston Pride has been responsive and even supportive.
A new role of Chief Strategy Officer was created within Charleston Pride, in part to address diversity issues. The person filling that role now is Evan Nowell, and he says it's all about listening, observing, being a citizen and engaging.
"As a white, gay queer male, I want to use my privilege to sit back and listen to those who haven't had a seat at the table," Nowell said.
Nowell helped Charleston Pride launch a physical space, which was rented to unite the Alliance for Full Acceptance, Charleston Pride and We Are Family under one roof so that they might better collaborate to meet the needs of the entire LGBTQ community. It also provides a space where conversation can be had and brainstorming can take place.
This year at the festival, he added, all of the Pride flags will be flown, including the one for people of color which was left out last year.
Now that Charleston Pride is celebrating 10 years, Nowell said the next step for this role is mapping out a vision and a tactical strategy for moving the organization forward until there is true inclusivity.
A new president of Charleston Pride will be elected at the end of the year when Tony Williams, the group's original organizer, completes his term of service after a decade.
Duggins wants to make it clear there are no hard feelings against Pride, but there is a lot to be done.
"They have to understand that we want to be a part, but if we have to do something separately first to then be a part, we will, until there can be a way that our needs can be met and we can be under one umbrella," she said.
Editor's Note: This article has been updated to reflect that Charleston Pride president Tony Williams is not resigning at the end of the year but completing his 10-year term of service.

American White Supremacists and Far-Right…
American White Supremacists and Far-Right Figures Attend Independence March in Poland
The November 11 Independence Day March in Warsaw, Poland, attracted tens of thousands of participants, including a number of far-right individuals and groups, as well as white supremacists from Europe and the U.S. This is a clear example of the increasingly international reach of white supremacist ideology.
The annual event is organized by two groups that take their names, symbolism and ideology directly from Polish nationalist, anti-Semitic groups active in the 1930s: The National-Radical Camp (Oboz Narodowo-Radykalny, ONR) and the All-Polish Youth (Mlodziez Wszechpolska, MW). After the first march in 2012, they formed a political party, Ruch Narodowy (National Movement), which has five members in the 460-seat national parliament, the Sejm.
Although a wide range of Poles attend the march each year, the event is known for its strident nationalism. White supremacist banners, expressions of anti-Semitism, and anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment have been witnessed in past years. The symbol of this year's march was a raised fist clutching a rosary. March organizers said the symbol was meant as a Catholic rebuke to LGBTQ+ individuals and their rights. This is part of a larger effort to attract broader support for far-right nationalism in Poland by focusing on and exploiting issues with more mainstream appeal, like opposing LGBTQ+ rights and speaking out against restitution of Jewish property stolen during World War II.
The Polish national government, which has participated in the march in recent years, chose not to take part in the 2019 event.
American groups and individuals who attended the march, according to their own social media accounts:
Patriot Front flags amid the marchers at Poland's Independence Day march.
Patriot Front: This Texas-based white supremacist group, led by Thomas Ryan Rousseau, split from Vanguard America (VA) in late August 2017, not long after the Unite the Right white supremacist event in Charlottesville. James Field, a white supremacist who was convicted of killing Charlottesville counter-protester Heather Heyer, was associated with Vanguard America. In addition to documenting the group's presence at the march in Poland, Patriot Front's Twitter feed also showed members traveling to Italy to meet with members of the far-right Italian group, Casa Pound.
American Identity Movement: This white supremacist group, led by Patrick Casey, has members all over the U.S. The group, formerly known as Identity Evropa, has led an aggressive propaganda campaign to recruit college students, while attempting to present itself as a mainstream conservative organization that promotes European-American identity.
Paul Cameron: This discredited American psychologist and anti-LGBT activist is known for promoting anti-LGBT propaganda via —the Colorado-based Family Research Institute, which he founded. According to a news report, Cameron spoke at the Warsaw march, telling attendees, "Brave Poles saved Europe from Islam, now they will save from the deadly LGBT invasion."
Jack Posobiec: The conspiracy theorist and author, who tweeted a photo of himself holding a baby, apparently in the midst of the Warsaw march, has enthusiastically promoted a range of lies, including the Pizzagate hoax. He frequently tweets anti-Muslim sentiments and has harassed former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin with anti-Muslim slurs online and in person. Posobiec was among the protesters who stormed the stage during New York Public Theater's controversial run of "Julius Caesar," shouting, "You are all Goebbels! You are all Nazis like Joseph Goebbels... you are inciting terrorists," and, "The blood of Steve Scalise is on your hands!" Posobiec currently works as a correspondent for One News Network, a right-wing news network and site.
In addition to these American groups and individuals, international far right attendees included Paul Joseph Watson, a British conspiracy theorist who worked as a correspondent for Alex Jones's conspiracy-driven InfoWars; Carl Benjamin, aka Sargon of Akkad, an alt right figure who, with Watson, joined the far-right, anti-Muslim UKIP party in the UK this past spring as a ploy by UKIP's leaders to capture the youth vote; and Peter Sweden, a far-right influencer and self-styled journalist who publishes racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-feminist and conspiracist commentary and content on Twitter and YouTube.

What Is A Nantucket Sleigh Ride?
Nantucket Sleigh Ride | Essays
Brendan Lemon | Jan. 22, 2019
I confess I didn't know the meaning of "Nantucket sleigh ride" or its relationship to whaling before reading John Guare's marvelous new play. Guare uses the phrase in a figurative sense: to mean a wild ride. His play is not about whaling! But the literal sense of "Nantucket sleigh ride" is also fascinating and worth some blog background: in 19th-century whaling slang a harpooned whale would sometimes drag a vessel full of whalers on a crazy desperate course as the animal thrashed and flailed trying to escape its captors.
I suspect my ignorance of the term derives from the fact that all of my scanty knowledge of whaling comes from Moby Dick. A quick graze through the novel yielded no sign of the phrasing. Nantucket, however, does figure in, at least early on. Among the pages of Extracts included before the story proper is this tidbit, from a speech Daniel Webster gave in the U.S. Senate, on the application for the Erection of a Breakwater at Nantucket, 1828: "Nantucket itself is a very striking and peculiar portion of the National interest. There is a population of eight or nine thousand persons, living here in the sea, adding largely every year to the National wealth by the boldest and most persevering industry."
Melville's narrator, Ishmael, considers Nantucket the most enviable place to hop on board a whaler. At the beginning of Chapter II, Ishmael relates: "My mind was made up to sail in no other than a Nantucket craft, because there was a fine boisterous something about everything connected with that famous old island, which amazingly pleased me."
If Melville shed no light on Guare's title phrase, where else could I go for elucidation? Wikipedia? That site was no consolation. Its entry regarding the phrase informed me that I could have skipped consulting Melville in the first place: the term "is sometimes attributed" to the author, "but actually is not found in the text of his published works."
Wikipedia did, however, tell me that the sleigh ride was extremely dangerous. The rope attached to the harpoon used to strike the whale would drag the whalers' longboat along with it. The speed at which the ride occurred varied with the species. Humpbacks gave the fastest rides, and sperm whales, reaching speeds of 23 mph, dragged the longest. But fin and sei whales were the most dangerous: they would dive deepest, aiming to take the whalers with them. If the men succeeded in exhausting the animal, they would kill it and row it back to the ship.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, the whaling industry began using factory ships, much larger than old-fashioned whalers and with extensive on-board facilities for processing the slaughter of whales. These ships armed themselves with harpoon guns, obviating the need for sailors to go out in longboats. The Nantucket sleigh ride came to an end.
Except on the stage of LCT's Mitzi E. Newhouse, thanks to John Guare.

Six movies you need to watch this spooky season
Lanea Bayless, Staff Writer
It's October and Halloween is going to be knocking on our door any time now. Watching scary movies is one of the best ways to celebrate the month of all things creepy. You might be thinking, "well there's so many scary movies out there, what do I watch?" Well fret not, mortal. The Orange and White carefully selected a list of the top classic movies to watch on Halloween 2019.
We all know him. The unfiltered ghost whose name must be three times spoken, unbroken: Beetlejuice. The story of Beetlejuice takes the viewer through a paranormal story created by mastermind Tim Burton, with actors like Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder. This movie is perfect to watch when you're hyped on halloween candy and soda.
Coraline is just a young girl trying to bring some excitement in her world. However, Coraline finds more in her world that she ever would have expected. From amazing artwork to brilliant storytelling, Coraline has undoubtedly earned it's spot on this list.
Everyone born from 1998 to 2005 has seen this movie. Monster House notorious for the memes that brought out of it, that devilish house of nightmares with a tongue, and the elderly man who hates millennials. The plot tells the tale of a group of pre-teens just trying to enjoy their Halloween until the abandoned house down the street torments them. This movie is intended for kids but it also has humor for adults, making it the ideal family movie.
Harry Potter fans would love this Disney Halloween movie. The supernatural aspects are endless in Halloweentown. Who would have known that grandma was a master of the arcane arts? This movie is full of nostalgia for people who were diehard Disney fans in the past.
What do you get when you cross star crossed lovers and a transvestite scientists who has a thing for musical numbers? You get The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This 1975 movie can get you boogy-ing down to bops like The Time Warp, and head bobbing to classics such as Sweet Transvestite. Watch out, parents, this movie may be a little too risque for the younger ones, so let's keep this movie a secret between the adults and the older kids.
One of the most famous movies on this planet is The Nightmare Before Christmas. Everywhere you go is Jack Skellington merch blasted on babies and emo girls alike. The movie delightfully blends Halloween and Christmas, rightfully disregarding Thanksgiving, as it should be. The best thing is that this movie can be watched in October AND December. Memorable characters like Jack, Sally, the Boogeyman, and so many more in this vivacious ensemble splatter the screen in song and dance. This show is ideal for the family, so bust out the popcorn and spooky treats and watch this Tim Burton classic

This tour takes you to northern Arizona where your group will get to see the some of the famous slot canyons that Arizona is known for. These amazing canyons are located on the Navajo Reservation and the views that they offer are simply stunning.
Enter a wondrous world of swirling sand, amazing light, and fantastic contrasts. This is Antelope Canyon. Carved by wind and water, this slot canyon is located very near Page, Arizona, the home of Lake Powell. Tours departing Sedona will wind through beautiful Oak Creek Canyon. You'll fill your water bottles with pure natural spring water; water that has been underground for hundreds of years. We will climb to the top of the Colorado Plateau, a land-form unique unto itself, and travel through the San Francisco Volcanic Field. This volcanic field is home to over 600 dormant volcanoes. Passing onto the Navajo Reservation, we will make a short detour to view dinosaur tracks created tens of millions of years ago. Then it's a drive up a strike valley all the way to Page.
You will be able to choose between Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon for the tour. Both offer an unparalleled experience in a narrow slot canyon filled with exquisite erosional features and lighting effects. It is to be noted that lighting changes with the seasons and time of day. On the return to Sedona, we have time for a short hike to Horse Shoe Bend Overlook, or a short drive to Navajo Bridge, spanning the very beginning of the Grand Canyon.
After exploring Antelope Canyon by ground, we will next head to Glen Canyon Dam, where we will take a scenic and informative tour of the dam. On this tour you will get to see amazing angels of the Colorado River as it flows through the dam feeding into the Grand Canyon.
Next, we shall head south towards the Vermillion Cliffs to enjoy the multitude of layered sandstone. The 3,000-foot escarpment of the Vermilion Cliffs reveals seven major geologic formations in layer-cake fashion. This remote, unspoiled 294,000-acre national monument is a geologic treasure of towering cliffs, deep canyons, and spectacular sandstone formations, containing the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes and Paria Canyon. Elevations range from 3,100 to 6,500 feet. It's just another amazing spot not to be missed in northern Arizona.
The duration of this tour is 10 to 14 hours. It includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, snack, and beverages throughout the day.

Your Weather Will Remain
Posted on June 23, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg
Oh well look, it's Rusty, a welcome addition to the pantheon of good-lookin', heavily tattooed and pierced gents with mohawks! Sure, he may look forlorn in this photo, but worry not: Sources confirm that he is merely napping.
After the jump, Rusty shows some titty, just because.
(Photos by Ben Kahlil Rose and edited by Rusty's girlfriend, Penny, who adds, "My boyfriend is hotter than yours." Hey now.)

Hot, aside from the blowout
AP on June 23, 2009 at 4:35 pm said:
I'll agree about the blowout. Definitely not feeling that at all. Ew.
Amber on June 23, 2009 at 4:36 pm said:
Anna, so thats why his ear looks weird? I wasn't sure about that.
MadHatter on June 23, 2009 at 4:52 pm said:
Blowout much? Holy shit
Jojo on June 23, 2009 at 5:06 pm said:
Ew @ that blow out.
Not to mention, this was already on the cover, I don't care to see it again.
Kero on June 23, 2009 at 5:11 pm said:
Holy shit people are negative!
Jordan Ginsberg on June 23, 2009 at 5:19 pm said:
Jojo: It was an entirely different image of the same guy on the cover. Nevertheless, my most heartfelt apologies.
alex. on June 23, 2009 at 6:02 pm said:
wow, do i ever want that flannel shirt.
and i love his curly mohawk.
so cute. :)
Penny on June 23, 2009 at 6:06 pm said:
It's sad when people have nothing to say but rude things. Fuck you all.
Also, not a blowout. The light and angle just made his lobe look weird. Part of his lobe is just a little thicker than the rest.
Rusty, you look amazing. Don't let the haters bring you down!
Petezilla on June 23, 2009 at 6:06 pm said:
What is the chest-piece meant to be?
His chest piece is a mechanical heart with smoke coming out of it, with a bunch of wires and tubes and stuff around it. It's all encased an an organic (biomech-looking) thing. It's not finished yet. He still has 3 or 4 more sessions to go.
mona on June 23, 2009 at 6:21 pm said:
damn, Rusty can call me.
crizz the wizz on June 23, 2009 at 6:28 pm said:
you guys, its totally not a blowout. the inside of his ear just wanted to be a part of the photoshoot.
xvanceyx on June 23, 2009 at 6:44 pm said:
In all fairness, it really doesn't look like a blowout, a blowout is usually really defined and you can kind of tell that the skin looks different on it. This really does just look like his lobe is really thick at the bottom. Mine kind of does this too, not as much but I know for sure mine isn't a blowout and the skin at the bottom of his lobe looks the same as the rest of his lobe so i doubt it's a blowout.
Nice picture. ^_^
xvanceyx: THANK YOU.
zoe on June 23, 2009 at 7:24 pm said:
His eyes are AMAZING! Curly mohawks are cute on guys.
Jon P on June 23, 2009 at 7:46 pm said:
OMG blowout!!!!!! it just makes my moiri self sick , and that chestpeice looks like a New Zealand MOKO!!!
Not happy jan! :(
Mr. Mister on June 23, 2009 at 8:25 pm said:
I like, but I want to see more pics of the tats, and in color. Details are needed!
Oh, and I thought I might add that maybe the way his head is being positioned is making the weight of his eyelets is making his earlobes look unusual. My ears sometimes look weird in a similar way to this whenever I look downward, and I know for a fact I don't have any blowouts.
Viking's Valkyrie on June 23, 2009 at 8:51 pm said:
Real mohawks rock!
HereKittyKitty on June 23, 2009 at 9:20 pm said:
He's adorable and I'd love to see more detail of that amazing chestpiece.
Baphomet on June 24, 2009 at 1:10 am said:
Now thats a nasty blowout apart from that nice tattoo's
goldust on June 24, 2009 at 4:26 am said:
Nasty blowout(((( Also, I don't like pics… I don't know why, but just don't like them…
Almaxaquotal on June 24, 2009 at 6:55 am said:
#17 – you're taking the piss right? did you actually read the posts above you? "His chest piece is a mechanical heart with smoke coming out of it, with a bunch of wires and tubes" Yes, that sounds like a traditional Maori design to me, I hear the Maoris were actually highly advanced in bio-mech technology before the arrival of European people in NZ.
I don't really care if his ear is a blow-out or not, if it is, shit happens, why is everyone here so obsessed with screaming ZOMG BLOWOUT every time a pic of a large stretched lobe is posted? It is about as annoying as noobs who scream "FIRST!" on forum posts…..
Mander on June 24, 2009 at 8:29 am said:
I'm just happy to come here and appreciate a really good-looking, heavily modified guy. And I'm digging the ironic nod to the pinup "titty flash" in the second picture.
Perhaps everyone should remember that this is supposed to be a community for the *support* of modifications, not snark.com.
aivi on June 24, 2009 at 9:24 am said:
Curly mohawks for the win. And I agree, more detailed pictures of his tattoos are needed :)
Laura on June 24, 2009 at 12:20 pm said:
LOL @ Almaxaquotal
Didn't you know? Maori love Giger xD
Jojo on June 24, 2009 at 12:37 pm said:
Seriously? It's because blowouts are fucking nasty. You should take care of your earlobes. They don't just randomly happen out of nowhere, they happen because you fuck up.
Lenah on June 24, 2009 at 1:03 pm said:
Not that it matters, but those are NOT blowouts. My lobes look similar, and I don't have blowouts. Blowouts look different.
But anyway, nice pictures, very cute guy, love the chest piece. Close ups would be nice :]
Closeups in the future. He wants his chest completely finished before he "unveils" the whole thing. It's going to be so badass!! Also, I know he's told me that he doesn't really want to upload clear photos of everything because he's afraid of people copying his stuff. He designed almost 100% of his own tattoos (except for a few that I did), so they truly are one of a kind. We shall see.
#24: hahaha. Awesome.

hang in there man, looking good

grow the fuck up!!! as almaxaquotal said (essentially). you any better? if you wanna gripe, just piss off.
reminds me of bosch actually…
#28 – fuck ups happen, as this website gives us daily proof :p if you expect 100% perfection from everybody, all the time, you are in for a lot of disappointment in life.
Neek on June 25, 2009 at 5:19 am said:
#33 – this isn't neccesarily the "BME crew", modblog is more public, and as such anyone is able to come along and post anything, no matter how much of an arse they may be by posting it.
inevitably i'm guessing Rusty couldn't give two shits what other people on an internet comment board say about his piercings and tattoos

Rabbi's Commentary
A Voice of Truth at the UN
The Fellowship | October 17, 2018
Dear Friend of Israel,
Supporters of Israel know that the United Nations has a long history of animosity toward the Jewish state. They've listened for years as the U.N. levels absurd charges against the lone democracy in the Middle East and ignores gross human rights abuses elsewhere around the world.
That's why Nikki Haley's recent announcement that she will step down from her position as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. came as such a shock to friends of Israel everywhere. In a governing body that has become synonymous with hypocrisy and cynicism, Haley was a voice of truth and moral clarity. She was not intimidated by the hostility of the nations responsible for promoting the anti-Israel narrative in the U.N.
Last year, Haley mused on a question that must be on the mind of many friends of Israel: Why remain part of an organization that seems so hostile to your very existence? "I remember that Israel has chosen to remain in this institution because it's important to stand up for yourself," she said. "Israel must stand up for its own survival as a nation; but it also stands up for the ideals of freedom and human dignity that the United Nations is supposed to be about."
She was right. The U.N. was founded with a noble purpose, but has strayed far from that purpose. That's why Haley's presence there was so welcome. Despite relative inexperience in international affairs, her sure instincts and common sense prevailed. She didn't put up with bullying of Israel or the U.S., and the result was truly a breath of fresh air in the rooms of the U.N. that have become so stale with cheap anti-Israel, anti-American sentiment.
Nikki Haley armed herself with the truth and stood up to the bullies. In doing so, she reaffirmed the unbreakable alliance between the U.S. and Israel in the strongest and most public way possible. Thank you, Ambassador Haley, for your steadfast and powerful defense of Israel and America, and for acting as an agent of change in an organization sorely in need of it.
My friends, may we all see the day when Israel is welcomed as an equal among the community of nations. And let us pray for the day when God will bless us with His most precious gift of shalom, peace.
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Help Save Their Lives
Your gift today will be the difference between life or death for vulnerable Jewish people.

Lush, London
[cw_slider id='201439']
Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics has opened its largest store in the world — a 9,500-sq.-ft. flagship on London's busy Oxford Street. The three-story flagship is a veritable beauty wonderland, complete with an in-store spa. It's also a delight for the senses, calling out at every step for customers to touch, feel, and smell the products.
Featuring rustic beams, chalk signs, pendant lights and concrete flooring, the flagship retains the brand's signature rustic feel, but with industrial accents. Lush's colorful products — all handmade from natural and fresh ingredients — are displayed, grocery-styled in many instances, in wooden crates and barrels. Signage is in keeping with the brand's playful spirit. One large graphic invites customers to "Relax…Take a Bath."
Reflecting the company's environmental commitment, the new store uses only wood that has been reclaimed or certified by the U.K.'s Forest Stewardship Council. The LED lighting is energy efficient.
Lush, which manufacturers all its own products, developed over 200 news items for the flagship, including shampoos, styling creams, face masks, make up, gourmet soaps, shower gels, and tooth powders, and many are spotlighted on the ground floor.
Customers can try out products in the on-site Hair Lab, and also pose for a picture in the #selfie mirror.
A sign on the ground floor invites customers to "Calm Down" the steps towards the basement level, home to the Lush Spa and an interactive perfume gallery. A music station features a selection of artists signed to Lush's two music labels. The country cottage-styled spa is debuting a new Lush treatment, "The Planets," a three-hour indulgence that even includes a palm reading.
The top floor houses perhaps the brand's best-know product line, its bath products, which includes the signature Lush bath bombs. Industrial-sized sinks are featured for trying our products. There's also an events space, the Soapbox.

During this period, JCCBI invested $193.4 million in major works on the infrastructure it manages, including the deconstruction of the original Champlain Bridge which began in 2020.
"The Corporation's mission is at the heart of the mobility of the Greater Montreal, allowing for 82 million trips on traffic lanes and more than 500,000 trips in active mobility this year," said Catherine Lavoie, Chair of JCCBI's Board of Directors. "Every day, the organization must effectively and efficiently manage organizational risks, mobility issues, and many technical and operational challenges while upholding good relations with the community. The team has been at fulfilling this mandate," she added.
"JCCBI's investments are consistent with a proactive asset management practice and, with its multi-year maintenance programs, it strives to maximize the use and service life of infrastructure and adapting it to evolving public expectations and climate change, all while optimizing the use of public funds. All this work is undertaken for the benefit of the community and in connection with it, by our staff with the support of multiple partners and suppliers, whose exceptional work I also want to acknowledge," said Sandra Martel, Chief Executive Officer of JCCBI.
Overview of Main Activities
During this fiscal year, the deconstruction of the original Champlain Bridge, which is carried out by Nouvel Horizon Saint-Laurent G.P. made up of Pomerleau Inc. and Delsan-A.I.M. Environmental Services Inc., continued for a second year. Work amounted to $91.6M for this period and most of it was done over the river, on barges, and consisted in the removal of modular trusses, and the deconstruction of 23 spans, 17 piers and 8 footings. Also of note is the impressive the lowering of the suspended span which occurred in early January.
As for the Jacques Cartier Bridge, JCCBI invested $55.5M during the year and the work included the continuation of the steel repair and paint system replacement program, under the deck and on the superstructure. Repair work to the pedestals in Montreal and concrete abutment in Longueuil was completed as was the construction of a new maintenance building located at the Longueuil Bridge entrance.
For the Honoré Mercier Bridge, work totalled $30.3 million and included the ongoing pier repair program, and the paint system replacement on part of the steel structure, in addition to the replacement of a section of the inspection gangways.
On the Bonaventure Expressway, various repairs were done to the structures of the elevated lanes to extend their lifespan and delay their long-term replacement, for a total of $12.2M.

The overall goal of this synthesis report is to provide policymakers with highlighted key messages from recent global environmental assessments, including the fourth Global Environment Outlook: Environment for Development (GEO-4), published in 2008. The current report does not claim to provide a comprehensive and neutral overview of all assessments. Rather, it analyses whether messages from these assessments strengthen the findings of the GEO-4 and what insights they add to the central theme of GEO-4: environment for development. More specifically, the report looks across these assessments for key environmental challenges for the next decades and to possible policy interventions for dealing with these in a comprehensive manner. The assessments converge in identifying the main global environmental challenges in sustainable development. More than ever, competition for land emerges as a global issue. The assessments conclude, each in its own focal area, that many technical solutions are available and affordable for achieving the domestic and international targets. However, they display different perspectives on preferred policy options.

'The 100' star Sachin Sahel talks contraceptive implants and the special bond between Jackson and Abby
by McKenzie Morrell on February 10, 2016 0
Jackson isn't the bushy-eyed apprentice anymore, he's a doctor now and season three is his time to save some lives (or ya know, create them)! Sachin Sahel, who plays Abby Griffin's (Paige Turco) right hand man in the sci fi series The 100, is proving to be quite essential to the longevity of life on the ground– at least for those who crash landed on Earth from the Ark. Remember those pesky contraceptive implants that all of the Arkers had to have because of the strict population control up in space? Yea, well now that the Earth is inhabitable, it's time to plan a future for the Sky People and that might include a repopulation plan. Gasp. Babies… post apocalypse? No way! Whether or not this will be a plot point moving forward, remains to be seen– but why drop hints of implant removal if the writing team didn't have something Maury-inspired up their maniacal sleeves? Either way when the time comes, we expect Jackson to be ready to deliver babies and a much needed dose of reality to Abby, and the rest of his group.
Sahel, who is one of the most down-to-Earth dudes I've ever spoken to, chatted with me about his journey from season one to where we see him now, how important the relationship between Jackson and Abby is and what's next for the series. We also talked about epic CW crossovers and how it's best that he stay out of the heated ship wars that seem to flood our social media timelines on a regular basis. I still think he secretly ships Jabby, but don't quote me on that. No really, don't get me into hot water here! He was gracious enough to give me a good chunk of his time to talk about The 100, The X-Files and working out with his pal Richard Harmon (who plays Murphy) and the result is insightful, informative and downright humbling.
Let's get to it.
MCKENZIE MORRELL: Tell us a little bit about Jackson, the character you play on the CW's The 100?
SACHIN SAHEL: Jackson is from the beginning of the show, he's been the apprentice of the main doctor, Abby, on the Ark. We don't have too many doctors so we have to learn hard and fast how to become the best doctor you can be because you've got to do everything. Like I said, there's not too many doctors on the Ark so he has to do everything and learn from Abby, her wealth of knowledge and try to become the best that he can be. She's got her hands in so many things, whether it being on the council or being Chancellor last season, she's got to. It's basically his job to be the doctor.
MM: So true. Looking at what's to come for the gang in Season 3, did you find it harder to play this character this season opposed to the last two seasons?
SS: Yeah, I think this is the most fun I think I've had playing him. I mean, I've always had fun playing Jackson because he was always in a state of learning. Because the situations that they were in, were new to anybody so somebody who is already trying to learn as much as he can and be thrust in this new crazy situation. His eyes are always wide and he's trying to figure out what was going on. Come season 3, now we've just dealt with the Reapers and he went in the cave to have to deal with the Reapers himself. He's seen so much craziness happen already, he's really had to grow up. I think. So this season it was really fun for Jackson because he is now at a place where I think he is not this bright-eyed bushy tailed doctor anymore. He is a man doing his job. And I think he's little more comfortable with it, while I don't think anyone is really fully comfortable on this show, he's more comfortable in his role. It bleeds into his and Abby's relationship, I think.
MM: In terms of Jackson and Abby, they've obviously worked closely since the beginning, what do you think about all the fans who want to see these two get together romantically?
SS: [Laughs] The shipping wars are insane. And I try to leave those to the fans and to the writers as much as possible because the writers do such a good job at understanding and know that in the world that we live in how much time do people have for these romantic entanglements? I mean the times that they do happen kind of thrust upon them in a moment of passion because that's what would happen. You finally have a second to breathe and you think oh wait maybe I like this person. And then boom. The thing for Jackson and Abby, all these people have so much work to do, so it's hard for them to think of themselves in a moment so [laughs] in terms of the fans, I love that the fans love our relationship because we love our relationship and I think that's been a big saving grace for us on the show that me and her are such great friends that it kind of bleeds onto the camera.
MM: Oh yeah, it definitely does.
SS: And it's been great. And it's nice that the fans see that friendship.
MM: Do you pay attention to the other shipping wars that are going on? Or do you stay out of it.
SS: I don't ship anybody. I don't try to get in it as much as possible. I might have if it wasn't such a big deal with who you ship. So now what I do is I avoid it as much as possible and maybe might hold my secret ship flames, but I don't think I'll voice them any time soon.
MM: [Laughs] No, you'll get into some trouble.
SS: You start waving your flag and then all of a sudden arrows start flying.
MM: You've already had some notable moments season the season returned– including Jackson telling Abby that patients are waiting to get their contraceptive implants removed. Will we see this unfold more as the season develops? I mean, they have to repopulate at some point.
SS: Yeah, and I mean I think that's why the writers put that in there. That we are in a new world now, we're not on the Ark anymore. That's the definite difference from season 2 to 3, when in season 2 we were dealing with the ramifications on the ground and trying to find a balance between our life on the Ark and now our life on the ground. Where in season 3 we have a time jump where we're like okay, we are on the ground now these are the things we have to do on the ground, because this is our new home. That's something that was put in there for purpose. Because on the Ark we had to have population control because of our lack of supplies, now we're on the Earth, we've got more stuff. We're going to have to repopulate.
MM: I'm just waiting for someone to get knocked up. [Laughs]
SS: [Laughs] I've heard that so many times, everyone is just waiting for someone to get pregnant.
MM: It's bound to happen, but what are you supposed to do in that type of setting. Post apocalypse, everyone is trying to kill each other and you're pregnant.
SS: Well if it ever does happen, Jackson will be doing the deliveries so I'll be the first one to tell you [laughs].
MM: Do you ever get nervous they're going to kill your character off? I mean, it is a post-apocalyptic show where no one is safe.
SS: I think everybody is nervous most of the time for their character because we all love their character so much and in this world you could be walking in the forest to go pick some berries and get an arrow in the head at any moment. I think I'm always worried for him, but I think that adds to the height of the show because you're worried about him you always want him to get every moment that he deserves and have it be the realest moment for him. Who knows how long he's going to be around for. And that goes for anybody.
MM: There's definitely emphasis that no one is safe, that makes everyone a little bit nervous that maybe you know, they wouldn't be afraid to kill somebody off that we wouldn't expect.
SS: I think that with the season so far from the last two seasons that is very true and I think it's going to hold true for every season because it's just the world that we live in and they're trying to build it in the realist light possible. Including that no one is safe.
MM: That's what's the best about the show, there's no favorites, everybody has equal opportunity to be killed off [laughs]. That's kind of alarming, but refreshing at the same time.
SS: Exactly. It's whatever is best for the show and to move it forward in its reality. It's the best, weirdest way to put it.
MM: If The 100 could have a crossover episode with any other CW show, which one would you want to guest star on?
SS: Oh man, that's hilarious. I'm a true hard Supernatural fan. I still watch it, I still look at it on my DVR. I'll still jump in when I have time to watch TV, man Sam and Dean, is something I watched fairly religiously. Those guys are so cool.
MM: That's so awesome. That would be really cool, I think that could work.
SS: If randomly they have some sort of supernatural being send them to the post-apocalyptic future and now there's some crazy zombie gorilla jumping around that they have to fight. A demon gorilla. Sam, Dean and Jackson.
MM: That's awesome I chatted with some of the other cast members and they have great things to say about the cast, and the writers– have you been able to learn anything from your castmates?
SS: I will say this, I am the luckiest person on the show and I mean that with no hyperbole because I was cast on the pilot on the Ark working alongside of Paige Turco, who is a veteran who I can learn so much from and I'm with her all the time and I get to do almost all of my scenes with her and learn so much from her. As well as Henry Ian Cusick and Isaiah Washington, I got to watch them so much that how can you not learn from watching these guys? These people are just masters at what they do. I watched Lost religiously every day so I got to see this completely different character and watch him do it so well. Isaiah Washington is– I can't even explain the amount of ability of how amazing this man is. There is one downside, I remember this season during rehearsal, where we were all rehearsing a scene and I was just standing alone on the side and he had this moment which you'll soon see and you'll have the same reaction that I did, that I can't talk about. But he did this thing and I literally made a noise during rehearsal. I was just watching him in rehearsal and it was just something that he did that it shook the room. It was crazy. It wasn't even a big moment, it was just a couple lines and he said it and I felt everything.
MM: Do you ever have those moments where you get the script and you go holy crap what is going on right now?
SS: Every script [laughs]. Every single script. I don't think there's a script that I've read that I haven't been like that, once you read it some sort of shit will hit the fan. Pardon my french.
MM: [Laughs] They've really upped their game and I think the fans are in for a real rude awakening, in a good way.
SS: Yeah, absolutely. It's just not a show that sits on it's laurels and I think every episode, I know the writers have told me when they're writing it, they've written the whole episode and then they've scrapped it because it wasn't enough. And they've rewritten a whole episode and you can just tell when you get it and you're like yes this is something crazy. You're going to see some stuff on this show that not only have you never seen on this show, but you've never seen on any show.
MM: Well, we're looking forward to it, obviously I've only seen the first 4 episodes, which were mind-blowing as it is so I don't even know how you guys are going to top that but I'm told that you will.
SS: They will.
MM: Alright, so, I received a question NOT from Shawna Benson, asking who your favorite writers are on the show…
SS: [Laughs] I love Shawna, I love you!
MM: Shawna [Benson] is great, her and Julie and everybody are just so–
SS: Yeah, Julie, Kim [Shumway], Aaron [Ginsburg], Shawna, everybody– that whole crew is not only are they great writers but they're just great, hilarious, fun-loving human beings with minds like you've never seen. I mean, Jason [Rothenberg] picked these people, you can tell why specifically, they are perfect for the job. You can just tell that the way they work in the room and the way that they talk about it that it's just the most exciting, joyous, frightening, nerve racking, challenging, great, exciting, beautiful job. You can just tell every morning they wake up and just are ready.
MM: If you could be best friends with any of the characters on The 100 in real life, who would it be and why?
SS: That's a good question, friends, anybody… I would probably– well, Murphy gets out of situations like I've never seen, so he probably would be a good guy to keep around. Bellamy, he's just this commanding dude, I've said this since season one. Raven, is a powerhouse, we would probably work out a lot, she'd get me in shape because she's so fit. And then also she'd fix my walkie talkies if I need to talk to somebody. And obviously Clarke.
MM: Great choices. Just kind of take the whole gang and they'd all seem to be awesome to have around.
SS: That whole wonder group. I like Monty, I like Jasper, the whole group is just like, I love when people call it the Adventure Squad, that's the group– take me on an Adventure Squad.
MM: [Laughs] How long do you think you'd survive during an apocalypse?
SS: Oh, Sachin– how long would Sachin survive an apocalypse… probably as long as Wells. [Laughs]
MM: [Laughs] Oh man.
SS: I'd be just like Wells, always trying to do the right thing and then try to be so nice but that just doesn't work in this world.
MM: That would be sad.
SS: It would be so sad. But hopefully I align myself with the Adventure Squad and they'd keep me strong.
MM: What's something random fans might not know about you?
SS: Back in the day I used to do a lot of comedy, actually my bread and butter is comedy.
MM: Oh wow!
SS: Yeah, Jackson is a very stoic non-comedic guy, which is funny because all of my friends, they say they have a hard time watching me on there because it's so opposite of who I am. I'm actually this very loud, comedic individual. Whatever that means, I'm just loud and make a lot of stupid puns.
MM: [Laughs] Those are the best kind of people though, come on.
SS: [Laughs] I appreciate you, thank you.
MM: Anytime. And now you got to shoot an episode of The X-Files, that had to have been rad… was that like a dream come true for you?
SS: It was actually everything you could have possibly wanted out of an episode of The X-Files, because I just sat there with David Duchovny and we did Jeff Goldblum impressions and sang Hakuna Matata all day while we did our scenes. And then Gillian Anderson walks in and is like 'do you guys know each other?' Nope, we just met but we were having a blast! They actually had a great day because that day was a lot of me, my character had to do a lot of stuff and they kind of didn't have to do as much so I think they got to be a lot more relaxed than they might have been. To the point of where I was leaving and David was like "Gillian, we've got to get a picture with this guy!" So that was totally a dream come true. And they are so good at what they do and I've been blessed to work with people that I love and I've learned so much.
MM: That's awesome!
SS: It's been great.
MM: When you're not acting, what can we find you doing? Any hobbies or other activities you partake in?
SS: Me and Richard Harmon, we work out a lot. We like to work out as much as possible. For this season, Richard has, you've seen the first couple episodes–
MM: Yes, holy crap.
SS: Holy crap is right. I'm going to tell him you said that. [Laughs]
MM: Do it! I'm blown away by everything this season.
SS: Blown away at how jacked his is. Bob [Morley] too, we play a lot of board games, a lot of bananagrams, we play a lot of video games with the Vancouver fam. I'm trying to live as much of a low key lifestyle as much as possible. Just read, work out and just hang out with as many friends and family as I can because I think that when you first are acting you start and you don't have much time. When you're so focused on what you're trying to do it's harder, but now it's time to rekindle all of my relationships and see some family.
MM: That's what life's about. Living and being connected to friends and family! And to conclude, are you working on any other projects that you can tell us about?
SS: This year I've got a couple things coming out, like I said The X-Files, and Electra Woman and Dyna Girl rebooted, it's a comedy so I really had fun doing a comedy. Also a show called You Me Her, Jarod Joseph who plays Miller is also in, he has a pretty prominent role in that.
MM: That'll be great!
SS: Yeah, and I do always want to thank the fans, they're beautiful in what they do and they always keep it exciting for all of us and just to love each other. No shipping wars!
MM: I know, right? No shipping wars!
SS: People are allowed to ship whomever they want without ramifications.
MM: I wish everyone could respect each other, and let's see the story unfold. I just want everyone to love each other [laughs] why can't that be a thing?
SS: Exactly, I love how passionate they are, and that's a beautiful thing to be passionate but not passionate to the detriment of somebody else's life.
MM: Yeah, no. The writers have an idea of where they want the show to go, and as fans we need to let them do their job and let's see what happens.
SS: And they've done such a good job so far we should just trust them now. We are in season 3 and the show, I think has been done in such a beautiful way. Let's just trust them and go along with the ride.

GAC demands appeal of IDN ccTLD bans
Kevin Murphy, July 2, 2012, 09:00:31 (UTC), Domain Policy
The Governmental Advisory Committee has slammed ICANN's decisions to reject at least three non-Latin ccTLDs because they might pose security risks.
Remarkably, the GAC has also asked ICANN to "urgently reconsider" the rulings, which were made to mitigate the risk of phishing attacks and other types of domain name abuse.
In its official post-Prague communique, published over the weekend, the GAC tells ICANN that the way it decides whether to approve IDN ccTLDs has been "too conservative".
While the letter does not single out any specific ccTLDs, I understand that the advice was formulated primarily at the behest of the European Union and Greece, which have both had IDN ccTLD applications rejected on the grounds of confusing similarity.
The Prague communique (pdf) states:
The GAC is of the view that decisions may have erred on the too-conservative side, in effect applying a more stringent test of confusability between Latin and non-Latin scripts than when undertaking a side by side comparison of Latin strings.
It goes on to ask ICANN to publish its criteria for evaluating the similarity of IDN ccTLDs, to create an appeals process, to publish its rationales for rejecting bids, and to revisit old decisions.
The communique states, as formal GAC Advice:
Recently refused IDNs, particularly those nominated by public or national authorities should be urgently re-considered in light of the above considerations.
This request instantly loses the GAC credibility points, in my view, casting it as little more than another special interest group focused on the goals of its members first and internet security second.
To be clear, the GAC is appealing ICANN decisions that were designed to prevent phishing.
Greece's application for .ελ,was rejected by ICANN last year due to its visual similarity with .EA, a non-existent – but potential future – ccTLD.
While there's not much on the public record about the European case, I understand Eurid's bid for a Greek version of .eu was blocked because it looks too much like Estonia's EE.
Bulgarian IDN supporters have also been very vocal the last couple of years in opposition to ICANN's decision to forbid .бг due to its alleged resemblance to Brazil's .br.
While decent arguments can and have been made that some of these rulings were a little on the silly side, it's hard to argue that they were made without the best of intentions.
The GAC has promised to write to ICANN with "further reflections on the methodology that should be followed when evaluating two character IDNs".
The GAC as a technical regulator? That letter should make for some interesting reading.
How Russia and China could take over the internet!
GAC threat looms over ICANN Beijing
In the wake of .amazon, IP interests turn on the GAC

(1) EA is in the reserve list, not for a county or state, but anachronistic city states "owned" by spain in North Africa. (2) Believe after the delegation of EU, ICANN agreed it wouldn't take another string from reserve. Not sure of this was a Board resolution or just general agreement. So it's not going to move from reserve. (3) And given the politics of Spain and North Africa (the dispute over Western Sahara) there's no way EA will be delegated. East Africa would quite like it, but again now way Spain would allow a transfer.
Bulgarian situation's just ridiculous.
Grumble.


Today's my dad's birthday, so I decided to surprise him with something different in addition to a gift card. In a way, this story was the spark of inspiration for this blog. We live in different parts of Ontario, so I wanted to share it with him as easily as possible. This way, he can read it on his tablet at his leisure.
Once upon a time, many years ago, a young boy lived in a far-off land with his family. If there was one thing this boy wanted in life, it was to own his own bicycle. Bicycles were so common where he lived that lines of them streamed through the streets all day. Everyone owned one, or at least, that was how it felt to the young boy. The mailman had one. The factory workers rode by on their way to their shifts on them. The family next door had several. Even the minister's wife rode one around town while making calls, which scandalized the elders and secretly thrilled the church women.
But the young boy did not have his own bicycle yet. He was the odd man out in his class, and he felt it keenly. He knew why he was the only one. It wasn't because his parents couldn't afford it, they had several already. No, it was because he'd been sick for over a year and they were worried that he wasn't strong enough yet. Every time the doctor visited, hopes were raised and then dashed.
But the young boy remained eternally hopeful. He pored over cycling advertisements in the newspaper, cutting out the pictures and details of the models he liked and pasting them into a little notebook. His older brother and sister laughed at his obsession, but not harshly, because they were secretly rooting for him to get his heart's desire.
