The Hoax are a well known, talented blues band, based in England.
They are, in no particular order;
Jon Amor; Guitar, Mark Barrett; Drums, Hugh Coltman; Vocal and Harmonica, Jesse Davey; Guitar, Robin Davey; Bass Guitar.
TiTT recently had Drummer Mark Barrett answer some questions and we tried to get some usable answers. He did OK!
We asked Barrett to answer in one short paragraph, "who are The Hoax?" without using the words Blues or Rock.
His answer although not particularly short, was an honest one!
"In familial terms, my Brother asks me if I'm still 'playing with my tin pot band.' My Dad asks me if 'I'm still jigging', and my Mum just wants me to be happy. Outside of that, one fan described us as being 'the best band in the world.'"
Before joining the best band in the world, Barrett was affiliated with rock drumming in the 80's and early 90's (we asked that he correct us if we are wrong here). How did he make the personal transition, or was it a case of getting himself heard, so he, like many others before him would take what you he get?
Barrett confirms what we thought was so. "At that time I was only interested in playing with as many bands as possible and those bands happened to be playing rock music, which was rife in my local area at the time. It didn't matter to me whether the bands were rock, roll, soul, blues, or anything else. I think it's important for any drummer to start playing with other musicians as soon as is possible, whatever they bring to the table. It is, in my opinion, the best way to learn how to communicate with music. Further on down the road, I was asked to play in a local blues band who had a bit of a reputation in the wider area and it was that band who really got my playing to where it is today."
A bit more choosy and a lot more talented in 2014, he must have some influences. Musician or not! We asked him who or what they are?
Barrett is obviously in need of a more orderly sleep pattern at this point… as his reply suggests;
"The family hamster Hamlyn is my biggest influence. The way he goes about his business is enviable. He only really comes out at night time (which everybody knows is the right time), he keeps himself to himself and runs around his wheel tirelessly without complaint. Not only that, the area where he sleeps looks like the most comfortable place on earth. As well as Hamlyn, the biggest influence I have is my immediate family. You travel the world trying to find what you're looking for and return home to find it."
Travelling took The Hoax to Los Angeles, California, during the summer of 2013. At this time they were making new music. We wondered what they learned out there, individually and/or as a band? Did they even like the LA lifestyle?
Barrett seemed pretty impressed with west coast living, as he told TiTT "It was my first time in America and the visit challenged my previous views on America. The most influential thing I learned was that we could work as a band again. As for the LA lifestyle, in the two weeks I was there I've never felt so healthy, so the lifestyle must have agreed with me in some form or another. Good food, good company, and a good work ethic. To be honest, I didn't really see much of the LA lifestyle as I was contained within the four walls of a recording studio, but the bits I did see were very enjoyable. To drive West down Sunset to the sea was something I'd always wanted to do. The only shame was that I didn't have any jungle music on hand to turn down."
So would he leave the UK for North America permanently if the deal was good enough?
The answer is simple "I'd leave the UK for any country if the deal was good enough."
As we allow him to ponder his rental options in Venice, Ca, we ponder song writing and asked if, when The Hoax are writing a song, does each member hole up alone, or is there generally a group session?
As Barrett shakes the sand from his pants he shares that "For the Big City Blues record, we got together in a studio in California with only partially finished song! The rest of the songs for that album were written by the five of us on the day. We knew we had to have an album recorded in twelve days, so that forced us to come out with a finished song every day."
As we are all well aware, with many modern and current blues bands, there is often a ZZ Top influence. The Hoax has a definite ZZ Top vibe in their music. We asked Barret if he was particularly influenced by ZZ Top and would he, or any other member of The Hoax consider growing a ridiculous beard for infamy?
The now fairly clean shaven drummer replied "I've gotta lotta respect for Frank Beard. I remember being asked to learn ZZ Top's La Grange by a band in my home town and the first time I heard it I had real difficulty in understanding the part. Frank Beard's shuffle was a beat I'd never heard before and learning that track was a labour of love for me. To me, it sounded like an engine turning over. As for beards, The Hoax have a history of outrageous facial hair. I myself sported a fantastic moustache for a tour a couple of years back, unfortunately it wasn't suitable for picking up my daughter from school on a day to day basis, so it had to go. Needless to say, the band have never forgiven me."
Hairy or smooth, The Hoax appear to have a solid following in Europe. TiTT wondered if the less stubbly one thinks that their sound translates well there and why? European music is so very different than what The Hoax present.
In his best regional dialect Barret replied "I wouldn't call the music we play European at all, aside from the fact there are five English boys playing the music. But yes, Europe seems to like what we do, at least the countries we've played anyway. I think Europe is enjoying a renaissance in music. A music that has traditionally had its home in Africa and the USA."
With any band it is always interesting to know hich members of the band took music lessons when they were younger and who is self taught? In such an accomplished band, you would probably expect the answer to be way different than the one we recieved!
Barrett tells it like it is; "As far as I know, I'm the only one who took formal lessons. My Mum and Dad insisted on it. I had a drum tutor come around to the house every week. He taught me how to read music and how to not over-tighten cymbals. He smelled heavily of garlic all the time, but claimed he'd never had a common cold in his life due to his penchant for garlic; which by the way I didn't believe. Trying to prove my disbelief was difficult and after several weeks of drum tuition my chance came when out of nowhere I caught a cold. My plan was to sneeze into a jar, then immediately seal the jar thus preserving the cold virus. The next lesson came around and I got the infected jar out and left it open next to where he sat. The following week he arrived with a runny nose, a cough and a sneeze. I asked him if he was alright and he replied by saying "I'm fine thanks, Mark, just struggling with a bit of hayfever." Of course, some might say it would have been easier just to sneeze directly on him but my method seemed more fun."
Sneezing in jars! Voodoo? No, not even close, but it did make us wonder, is there a Hoax pre-show ritual? If so how did that come about. If not, what could you see yourself doing to make sure a show has the correct karma?
Again with a less than mainstream answer, Barrett tells; "I've long thought the best way to prepare for a show is for the band to have a huge falling out; a massive argument pre-show. That way the band takes to the stage with fire. Of course it doesn't always work out that way as I've found out to my misfortune with other bands… Aside from that, individually wrapped peanuts and chocolate filled carrots seem to do the job for The Hoax."
We figured for a bonus question we would talk clothes, as Barrett is somewhat of a fashionista in his own right.. So we got down to the real brief and asked "Do you wear lucky underwear? Ha, do you wear underwear at all?"
"I do not. In truth, luck plays no part." Barrett replied.
So there you have it ladies. Now you know!
The Hoax have a UK tour in April 2014 and more European dates later in the year. For details click the links!

Ozzy apologises to Sharon! AGAIN!

CRAZY TRAIN
After many, many years without drink and drugs, it seems that addiction once again grabbed Ozzy Osbourne by the balls and dragged him screaming and laughing hysterically to the pub, by his short and curlies.
Osbourne (Born John, in Aston, England) yesterday made a public apology to his wife of 30 plus years, Sharon, his family friends and his band, Black Sabbath, who made an appearance at Doningtons 10th Anniversary Download Festival in Leicestershire, England, last June.
Osbourne admitted he had been "an ass", for the past year an a half, but followed that by telling press that he had been clean again for 44 days. Rumors were spread after Mr and Mrs Osbourne were noticed to have been living separately and were said to be divorcing. The Prince Of Darkness cleared this up, by saying that they were living apart because he was "trying to be a better person."
Osbournes son Jack, diagnosed with MS last year, younger daughter Kelly and wife Sharon have all been treated for addiction.
Can we hope this is Osbournes last ride on the Crazy Train?
Black Sabbath are due to release a new record shortly…..

Silver Charms and Silver Snare

In 2014, Mother Love Bone will be eligible for induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 1989 they supported The Dogs D'Amour on their first tour of North America.
Pure Dynamite
The Dogs D'Amour had an almost obsessive, cult type following in the UK and Japan in the mid to late 80's and they could have been huge.
The remnants of Mother Love Bone became Pearl Jam. The Dogs D'Amour stayed honest and did not sell out.
"Back in the day, major labels in the US would pay to have bands tour with more established outfits, when they wanted to get exposure for them… The Black Crowes supported us too. Reportedly we got paid $10,000 for that tour of the UK. We didn't see a penny of it." Scoffs drummer Bam. "Our Management nicked the lot! Looking back, we could have toured with some massive bands but we stayed honest, true to ourselves and of course, we were occasionally drunk!" Bam tells a great story and his smooth London accent just makes for a better delivery. "Tyla and I (J Pallas, Dogs D'Amour singer and artist) could sit in a room with six other people and pick out the two most thieving horrible cunts every time. It's just a knack we have. This time we're keeping it in house. Let's just say we will be mis-managing ourselves."
New and Tea Infused
"We always were misunderstood," explains Bam when asked about their music. "We were really nothing to do with heavy metal. We were always more of a blues outfit. Better suited to touring with Bob Dylan or Tom Petty. We made well-crafted songs and we intend to make some more. The rest of the band will be coming out here to Florida before the tour. We will jam, write, maybe record and work on some video. We may be able to pull out a single or maybe an EP or who knows? I would love to bring in the heavy artillery, a well-known engineer, I don't really fancy doing it all by myself." Bam and his good lady wife Share (formerly Pedersen) formerly Vixen, now with JSRG, have a studio where the two produce and engineer part time.
"It's been quite a long haul putting together songs across the internet, but I'm really proud of everybody pulling together. It has been a process of learning how to collectively work the technology, along with learning to work with each other again in this strange new way. It's still not as quick as it would be if we were all in one room, but we're getting there. If we actually create a new product it will be a miracle! There will most likely be thunder and lightning, tea, 'n' cake with the Pope where we all get Saint hoods!" Bam exclaims.
Graveyard of almost empty bottles!
"We will probably have an exorbitant tea bill this time around." Laughs Bam. "I hear Tyla drinks a lot of tea now." He continues; "no-one really drinks hard liquor these days, the odd bottle of red wine maybe. I was even thinking about writing a letter to our ex-groupies. You know, to warn them that there will no longer be an aroma of marijuana and Jack (Daniels) on the tour bus, more likely the stink of stale urine… and watch out for that wheelchair honey!!"
Moving on with life hasn't restricted Bam in any way. Time has made him sit back and reconsider on more than one occasion, he diversifies well and adapts to the new and different quite easily and quickly. His skills also include raw cuisine and making silver jewelry. Bam tells Headbangerwoman how his love for crafting silver started. "I was in Brighton, England. I was down on my luck after the Dogs broke up. My ex had gone back to the US with our son, my first child. My friend Mini put me up. He's still out there, Mini, top bloke. Mini worked for a jeweller and had a small set up in an attic room. It had a small window for the solder smoke to escape. I loved to work the silver, but after a while I returned to the US to look out for my son. It was there in Los Angeles, that I met Share. She had a small shed type building and she let me put a work bench in it. I didn't even own a mandrel at the time. I used a drumstick. The first ring I ever made was made there; it became a kind of engagement ring for Share. She still has it. At one Bubble gig, she hit a 300 pound bouncer in the face with it and saved the day, but that's another story."
Silver Charms
That was back in LA. Things changed; Share's Mom and Dad passed away, as did Bams Dad. "Bubble gigging at the same old LA clubs was pissing us off, our credit card was maxed out after tours of Japan and the UK and more importantly, getting out to the beach would take two hours. The traffic in LA became so restrictive that we turned into homebodies, never going out, we were just watching movies and writing." Bam's voice sounds a little bitter when the West coast is mentioned, but quickly returns to chipper when the new chapter in his life is discussed again. The silver was set aside for a time, but is now back in production. " I'm lucky," Bam tells. "I have a lovely house with a garage now, I've been making jewelry again since January and it has helped me reconnect with old friends and meet new ones."
After living in Los Angeles for a time, came the big move to Florida. You have to wonder, how did that happen?
Bam gets excited to talk about this. "We made the move to Florida after we had been to the Caribbean on holiday. We loved the climate, loved everything about it. We initially talked about making the move but it didn't happen. Then we went to see friends in Florida for my birthday soon after. It was just like the Caribbean, the humidity, the sunshine. It was like the Caribbean with amenities, with Superstore or Target. Of course, then we fell in love with a fantastic house; retro with bright green shag carpet and that was it. I found a little statue buried in the back yard. He was carefully dug up and I drilled a hole in his ass and shoved a hose up there. He stands by the pool and pisses in it! We call him Austin Powers." It really doesn't get more rock and roll, does it?
Smokin'!
As everything falls into place there is the return of The Dogs D'Amour, not known to be too friendly at the time of their break up, can Bam explain the change of heart?
"It really all came about to help a sick friend by doing a benefit show. Paul Hornby, who filled in as the drummer for the Dogs on a recording trip to Finland, at the time of my first child's birth, had been diagnosed with bowel cancer. We all got together through the internet and one benefit show became eight in a row. We have had calls from promoters all over. Germany, Sweden, Italy and the like, begging for more shows, but we want to keep it simple to start. Who knows what will happen after this! "
Dogs all dates
So, with two sold out shows at The Borderline in London, England, to kick off the tour on February 22 and 23 2013, followed by a post UK trip to Spain for three shows and then three more back in UK, the Dogs are far from The Trail of Tears and they are Gonna Get It Right this time.
The Dogs D'Amour are currently rehearsing in Florida!
NEW track. Old Dogs!

Foo Fighters, an Everlong hiatus?

In front of 60,000 fans this past weekend, in New York's Central Park at the Global Citizen Festival, Dave Grohl announced that Foo Fighters had "no more shows after this. Honestly, I don't know when we're gonna do it again… and this is the perfect place to do it."
Grohl, who was visibly shaken and overwhelmed at a performance with Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium in England, is an accomplished musician who will not be sitting home bored. Perhaps Them Crooked Vultures, with whom Grohl is the drummer, will be making an appearance or two in the near future?
Whatever the future holds we can only hope it includes more FOO!
Playing out the show to Everlong, Grohl did say that the band would eventually be back……

My health insurance premiums are going up over 56% next year. It is the biggest annual increase in monthly premiums I have ever had – by far.
A few weeks ago, I surmised how Obamacare may have been a pivotal factor in the U.S. election. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has driven up health care costs and has actually made health care much less affordable for most US citizens. It certainly has not benefitted me the past few years. See the chart of my 2005 to 2017 insurance premiums below.
The chart above speaks for itself. As the details of the Affordable Care Act have been implemented over past few years, I have watched my health insurance premiums skyrocket. On top of that, my insurance company – Medica – has reduced my coverage, lowered the amount they will pay for prescription drugs, and increased my deductible.
In 2017, I will be paying 455% or 5.5x more each month for my health insurance premium than I was paying in 2005. I realize I have gotten older and I understand that higher age means higher premiums. But a 455% increase is absurd.
So what is causing these runaway price increases? There are dozens of factors, but two of them stand out: 1) supply and demand, and 2) inefficiency.
I believe the people who created and supported the Affordable Care Act had good intentions, but unfortunately they were not economically astute. The ACA added a number of costs to the health care system without taking into account supply and demand. There are a relatively fixed number of hospitals, doctors, and other health care employees. So when you increase the number of people who have full access to medical providers and personnel, supply stays the same, but demand increases. The result? Prices increase.
Health care costs increase across the board, meaning medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and doctors can all charge more. And some of them need to charge more. The requirements placed on hospitals and doctors, for example, require them to spend more money. So they increase their prices to cover the costs. Insurance companies then have to pay more for medical services. And how do they cover their costs? Increase premiums.
Of course, insurance companies could combat increasing prices by running their businesses more efficiently. But they don't need to. The lack of competition in the health insurance industry is mysteriously absent, especially in a capitalist country like the United States. Health insurance companies have near monopolies in their own states and therefore do not have many competitors to force them to keep their costs down. So how do they increase their profits without reducing costs? Increase premiums.
Medica is one of the most inefficient companies I have ever seen. For example, nearly every year, I request that they sign me up for paperless statements – something that would save them money and be more convenient for me. But they have never done it. They refuse to update their system. In fact, I had to fax my request to them and they mailed me their response. Even in 2016, they don't use email.
I'm not the only one who has experienced the inefficiency of Medica firsthand. Nearly every health care provider I have visited in the past few years is constantly frustrated with Medica. They lose paperwork, don't call back when they say they will, and take months to process some claims. The number of internal problems would cause nearly any other corporation to go out of business. But Medica has a not-so-secret way of combating their inefficiency. Increase premiums.
A prime example of Medica's horrible management is a program they launched a few years ago called "Healthy Savings."
I first found out about this program in a letter Medica sent me around the time Obamacare was enacted. The letter said Medica would no longer be providing me with a $20 monthly discount for my gym membership. It said I could save even more money with their new Healthy Savings program, which would give me discounts for making healthy shopping decisions.
That sounded OK since I make a point to buy healthy food – lots of fruits and vegetables, fresh (not frozen) meals, and food without preservatives. I typically more for these types of foods compared to the cheaper, less healthy options available. My grocery bills are typically in the range of $100 to $150, but I have never saved more than $2.50 using my Healthy Savings card. Most of the time, the cashier scans my card and I save $0.00. The Healthy Savings program has definitely has not made up for the $240 each year I am no longer reimbursed for my fitness center attendance. In fact, I don't think I've saved more than $20 total in the past five years.
The amount of money Medica has wasted by setting up this program would have caused most companies to go bankrupt. But it's not too hard to figure out their method of subsidizing such a massive failure. Increase premiums.
Most of this article was specific to the organizational disaster that is Medica. But Medica is a microcosm of a much larger problem – the health insurance industry. The lack of competition in the marketplace means there are several other insurance behemoths across the country raising premiums to keep their profits intact. The Affordable Health Care act needed to address this problem if it really was going to make health care more affordable.
Until the waste is cleaned out of the system and competition is introduced into the marketplace, insurance companies will continue to do the one thing they are good at. Increase premiums.

Valhalla Online: A LitRPG Saga
Written by Kevin O. McLaughlin
Category: · Sci-Fi & Fantasy
A new LitRPG adventure from the imagination of USA Today bestselling author Kevin O. McLaughlin!
More than just a game, Valhalla Online was designed as a permanent repository for the uploaded minds of mortals afraid of death. An artificial afterlife.
Samantha's world is turned upside-down when she arrives in Valhalla – because as far as she knows, she isn't like the other people uploaded there.
She isn't dead. At least…she hopes she isn't.
Now Sam must solve the mystery of her own abduction – or murder! – while trapped inside a virtual world, cut off from communication with the outside. To do this she must do more than simply survive Valhalla – she needs to win the game!
˃˃˃ Excerpt from the book:
The battle raged only a dozen feet ahead. Men with green bandanas tied to their arms, or with green paint on their shields, were holding a position on the wall facing off against a squad of blue-bearing troops.
The bad news was that the green troops – whom Sam assumed were the enemy – had ladders up against the outside of the wall. More troops were climbing into the fort every moment. The good news was that most of them were facing the blue troops on the other side of the rampart. Their backs were to Harald and Sam.
Harald didn't pause for more than a moment to let his eyes adjust before rushing in. He gave a terrific scream, bashing the one green warrior with his shield as he was trying to climb onto the wall. The man lost his balance and fell backwards outside the fort. There was a long cry as he fell, which cut off suddenly. It sounded like the drop on the other side of the wall was at least as far as the one on this side.
An arrow flashed upward from somewhere outside the fort. Acting entirely on instinct, Sam raised her shield just in time to ward the shot. It stuck into the wood with a resounding thunk. The impact stung her fingers and left them buzzing. How the hell had she found herself in this crazy situation?

I had no idea that visiting a Moroccan shop on one cold day in March, would manifest into me actually visiting the country. It was a random Saturday that babyboo and I were hanging out in D.C. and we came across a Tibet shop. Literally across the way was the Moroccan shop. So we journeyed on over and immersed ourselves in this shop. We found some of the most awesome artifacts that I did not expect to see in there. Morocco is North Africa and many of the inhabitants are Arab. The artifacts that we saw in the store were far from Arabic, they looked more like West African tribal objects. Then I had to remind myself that many inhabitants of parts of Africa these days were invaders and not the true people of the land. I'll leave it at that.
Let's fast forward to about May when my cousin Bianca and I began planning for our trip to Abidjan, CÔte d'Ivoire. While looking for flights we noticed that most of them stopped in Morocco before going to Abidjan. Most times layovers are a thorn in my side, but depending on where the layover is, it can be a chance to visit another location for free. We figured if we were going to have a layover, why not make the most of it? So, when we booked our ticket, we originally set up our flight to have a layover in Casablanca, Morocco for 15 hours. Basically a day trip. Eventually, that turned into a more grand idea because as we were researching, we saw more and more things that attracted our eye. It became clear that we wanted to spend more time in Morocco than a day. The original plan was to be in CÔte d'Ivoire for 2 1/2 weeks, so we had the days to spare.
We started creating our itinerary and thinking about the multiple cities that we wanted to visit in Morocco. On the list were Marrakesh, Fez, and Chefchaouen. These were the cities that we found buzzing on social media and in many of the blogs we read.
(in Morocco) a riad is a large traditional house built around a central courtyard, often converted into a hotel. "Riads are generally small, personally run "boutique hotels" or B&B's with small staff who look after guests personally. They generally have less than 10 rooms. By nature, they are multi-level in design, built around an open courtyard with trees/ plants and a water feature (small pool or fountain, or both) and usually have a rooftop terrace. They are made to offer peace, calm and tranquility amidst the havoc of the city. A real escape." Not only that but riads are pretty affordable. Our Riad, called DAR TEN was in the heart of the Souks(markets) which can be really noisy. However, it was super peaceful and calm in our space. To REALLY experience Marrakesh, stay at a riad in the medina. Forget about the closed-off hotels.
We really enjoyed our days in Marrakesh. We spent a lot of our time exploring the city and watching the people during their day to day. Sitting near Mosque Koutoubia where you can hang out in the plaza and the square, gave us a glimpse of the culture. I really loved how they would congregate around the mosque. The women and children were out hanging in the Plaza and the men were often times working nearby.
Fez was our stop to get to Chefchaouen. So we were only in Fez overnight. We got there around 11:30 pm, went to our Air BnB, got up the next day to head to Chef, returned back to the Air BnB in Fez that evening, and then flew out to CÔte d'Ivoire the next morning. As you can see, we only saw Fez in the evening and didn't get to explore at all. I don't think we missed much though. From what I've been told, it is much like Marrakesh.
Listen. I've been to many cities but this one right here! To see this blue city was well worth the ride! Chef is the blue pearl of Morocco and a must-see for many travelers. Not only can you capture great photos, but the scenery from the Rif Mountains is breathtaking. All of the homes and shops are blue and give an almost magical feel. Add this blutiful city to your list! Chef was just a day trip from Fez. We took a bus which is like an equivalent to our Greyhound, and the ride was about 4 hours there and 4 hours back. We paid no more than 17 bucks round trip. The best thing to do is book your tickets online prior to leaving the states. The CTM bus fills up pretty fast and you wouldn't want to miss out.
The centers for shopping are called Souks. The shops are delightful and can make you want to purchase everything. They are always super busy, and can go one of two ways. Either you can have a great experience with them or a terrible experience. These are small vendors that sell a lot of the same items so they are in heavy competition. When they see you coming it can feel that they are being a bit aggressive in trying to get you to their shop. Ladies, kind of prepare for the aggression, but still draw those boundaries so that you don't feel any pressure. We kind of noticed that the men were a little more aggressive with us than they were with women that were accompanied by men. Once you see something that you are interested in, you can bargain the price. Don't get overcharged because you are a foreigner. Nonetheless, while it can be slightly stressful, it is a part of the Moroccan experience.
For any further questions, feel free to drop a comment in the "comment section".
I can't wait for you to visit Morocco!!!!

The National Park Service Opens a Rare Opportunity For Skilled Shooters to Help Reduce the Number of Bison in Northern Arizona
All About Arizona News May 3, 20215 min Read
The National Park Service, in cooperation with the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD), seeks skilled volunteers to assist with the removal of bison on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park in the fall of 2021. Interested parties should carefully read this announcement and the information in the links below.
Between 300 and 500 bison are on the Grand Canyon's North Rim. The park wants to reduce the number to 200, and it has made progress with corralling and relocating the animals. Given the current distribution, abundance, density and the expected growth of the bison herd on the North Rim, the NPS is concerned about increased impacts on park resources such as water, vegetation, soils, archaeological sites and values such as visitor experience and wilderness character. Reducing the herd size will protect the park ecosystem, resources and values.
Grand Canyon Officials say the bison increasingly have been trampling archaeological resources, creating deep ruts and wallows in meadows, and spoiling ponds. They can be hunted on the adjacent national forest, which has pushed them to make their homes almost exclusively within the Grand Canyon.
Individuals who are interested in applying to be volunteers can submit an application on the following website (www.azbisonstewards.com) beginning at 12 a.m. MST (Arizona) on May 3 through 11:59 p.m. MST on May 4, 2021. Volunteers must:
Be U.S. citizens 18 years of age or older with valid photo ID
Have the ability to purchase and pass a background investigation and have no criminal or wildlife violations
Self-certify a high level of physical fitness ability
Have a firearm safety certification and pass a marksmanship proficiency test (3 of 5 shots in a 4-inch circle at 100 yards)
Provide their own equipment, firearm, lodging, food and field dressing supplies. See firearm FAQs.
Be available for the entirety of one of the assigned lethal removal operational periods. Individuals may not participate in more than one: Sept. 20-24, 2021; Sept. 27-Oct 1, 2021; Oct. 18-22, 2021; Oct. 25-29, 2021
Meet all additional requirements listed on www.azbisonstewards.com and the NPS FAQ page.
Thousands of people from across the country are expected to apply. The state wildlife office will select and vet 25 applicants and forward those to the park service, which will choose 12 in a lottery. The volunteer pool will be selected using a random lottery system and selected individuals will be contacted by the NPS by May 17, 2021. At the end of the week, volunteers may be given up to one bison in exchange for removal by AZGFD. Employees of the National Park Service or other Department of the Interior agencies and the Arizona Game and Fish Department are not eligible to apply.
This effort to reduce bison to a more manageable herd size is supported via consultation with the public and traditionally associated Tribes as well in the 2017 Environmental Assessment conducted by NPS, the State of Arizona and the US Forest Service.
Native American tribes will have a separate opportunity to become volunteer shooters, but those agreements have not yet been finalized.
Unlike hunting, volunteers won't have to pay for a bison tag that can top $5,400 for non-Arizona residents. Shooting a bison at the Grand Canyon also won't count against the one bison lifetime limit for hunters.
Much of the effort will be done on foot in elevations of 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) or higher at the Grand Canyon's North Rim. Volunteers cannot use motorized transportation or stock animals to retrieve the bison that can weigh up to 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms). Each volunteer can choose a support crew and will have to prove firearms proficiency. Volunteer shooters must bring their own equipment and use non-lead ammunition to avoid the risk of poisoning the endangered California condor that scavenges on gut piles.

Tonight's Movie: Seven Men From Now (1956)
SEVEN MEN FROM NOW is a tremendously effective Western starring Randolph Scott, Gail Russell, and Lee Marvin. Produced by John Wayne's Batjac Productions and directed by Budd Boetticher, the movie tells the story of an ex-sheriff on the hunt for the gang of outlaws who murdered his wife during a robbery. Along the way he meets a struggling pioneer woman (Russell) and her ineffectual husband (Walter Reed), as well as an old nemesis (Marvin, who comes close to stealing the movie).
The movie grabs the attention from the opening credits sequence and the rainy campfire scene that follows. Burt Kennedy's dialogue is concise and amusing, every word carefully chosen. The title song is used effectively as background music throughout the film. The Alabama Hills landscapes, filmed outside Lone Pine, California, are breathtaking. About my only complaint was the last line of the script could have been a little more decisive.
In short, it's a pretty perfect little Western. It was a treat to see it for the first time.
This widescreen movie was filmed in color and runs a brief 78 minutes.
SEVEN MEN FROM NOW is available in a superb print on DVD, in a Collector's Edition filled with extras, including a commentary, a documentary on director Budd Boetticher, and shorter featurettes on actress Gail Russell and the Lone Pine location. Well worth the investment if you like classic Westerns.
July 2012 Update: There's a little more on this film in my review of DECISION AT SUNDOWN (1957).

Seven Men From Now is an excellent film and a surpurb example of what a DVD should be. Clean, crisp print, excellent background material (the piece on Gail Russell was good) and a fantastic documentary (on Budd Boetticher) for context. This is one of my favorite single DVD releases of last year, along with the other Batjac release McClintock! What is very surprising is this is a Paramount Home Theater release- done right! I don't know if that is due to Batjac (and Leonard Maltin's involvement- which I suspect) or someone at Paramount. Either way- a good DVD for the collection. Hopefully more Budd Boetticher films will be forthcoming on DVD. He directed some excellent westerns
Wolf Flywheel said...
This films has one of my favorite opening scenes in a western ever. I would've liked to see Mr. Scott play this when he was a little younger, but it still worked. It also included one of my favorite actors to play western villans:Lee Marvin. Great film choice!
"This films has one of my favorite opening scenes in a western ever."
Loved it! (After being momentarily distracted by recognizing a very young "Dr. Steve Hardy" from GENERAL HOSPITAL -- John Beradino -- as one of the men, grin.) The film was powerful in part because of its very economy and understatement, particularly its depiction of Scott's skill with a gun.
We drive past Lone Pine most years on our way to the Sierras, and I loved seeing the area captured so beautifully on film. I enjoyed the Lone Pine and Russell features -- looking forward to the Boetticher documentary. It's a shame Gail Russell had such a life of "hard living"; few ladies were as beautiful on screen as she was in ANGEL AND THE BADMAN a decade earlier. My father recently suggested she would have been great cast in HONDO -- I agree.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this wonderful film.

I didn't know about Budd Boetticher until I found 7 Men From Now at my library. Lee Marvin does a fantastic job as Bill Masters. His character is deadly not only with his gun, but the words he speaks as he plays mind games with Ben Stride and John Greer.

Environmental stimuli often trigger our sense of smell before we exhibit any other response. Smells trigger neurons in our brains that alert us to take action, but there are often more than one odor in our environments at any given time.
Barani Raman, PhD, of the School of Engineering & Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis, wanted to answer the question of how our brain processes multiple odors received simultaneously.
The researchers used locusts, which have a relatively simple sensory system ideal for studying brain activity. They found that odors prompted neural activity in the brain that allowed the locust to correctly identify the stimulus, even with other odors present. The findings were published in a recent issue of Nature Neuroscience.
A computer-controlled pneumatic pump was used by the team to administer an odor puff to the locust, which has olfactory receptor neurons in its antennae, similar to sensory neurons in our nose. The locust receives a piece of grass as a reward a few seconds after the puff in a form of Pavlovian conditioning. Much like Pavlov's dog salivated when it heard a bell ring, the locust anticipated the reward when the odor used for training was delivered.
Rather than salivating, when anticipating the reward the locust opened their palps, which are finger-like projections close to the mouth-parts. Their response time was less than half of a second, and the locusts were able to recognize trained odors when another odor meant to distract them was introduced prior to the target cue.
Raman has been researching how the human brain and olfactory system operate to process scent and odor signals for over a decade seeking to take inspiration from the biological olfactory system to develop a device for noninvasive chemical sensing. Such a device would have applications, for example, in homeland security to detect volatile chemicals and in medical diagnostics, to test blood-alcohol level.
Raman said the current study would be the first in a series designed to understand the principles of olfactory computation.
The researchers are also trying to answer other questions.
Electric eels provide a zap of inspiration for a new kind of power source.

Wolfgang Petersen (Emden, 14 maart 1941 – Brentwood (Californië), 12 augustus 2022) was een Duits filmregisseur. Hij is vooral bekend geworden door de film Das Boot, over de Duitse U-boot U-96.

Carrière
Petersen werd geboren in Emden. Van 1953 tot 1960 volgde hij de Johanneum school in Hamburg. Begin jaren zestig regisseerde hij toneelstukken in het Ernst Deutsch Theater in Hamburg. Hij studeerde theater in Berlijn en Hamburg en volgde tussen 1966 en 1970 de filmacademie in Berlijn. Zijn eerste producties waren voor de Duitse omroep NDR. Tijdens zijn werk voor de populaire Tatort-serie ontmoette hij acteur Jürgen Prochnow, die later in Das Boot de rol van kapitein Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock zou spelen.

In 1973 kwam zijn eerste bioscoopfilm uit, Einer von uns beiden, naar een novelle van Horst Bosetzky, wederom met Jürgen Prochnow. Zijn film Die Konsequenz leidde in 1977 tot een schandaal. De Bayerische Rundfunk achtte het thema van de film - homoseksualiteit - niet geschikt. Kort daarop kwam de film in de bioscoop.

In 1981 droeg de productiemaatschappij Bavaria Petersen de regie over het Das Boot-project op. De film kwam in Duitsland op televisie als zesdelige mini-serie en werd vooral in de Verenigde Staten een kassucces, de tot dan toe meest succesvolle buitenlandse film ooit. Das Boot was al de duurste Duitse filmproductie ooit, maar de volgende film van Petersen had een nog hoger budget. De film Die unendliche Geschichte (internationaal bekend als The NeverEnding Story) kostte meer dan 50 miljoen D-Mark.

Petersen brak nu door in Hollywood. Voor Twentieth Century-Fox draaide hij de sciencefictionfilm Enemy Mine (1985). Deze film werd nog in de Bavaria-studios in München opgenomen, maar daarna vertrok Petersen naar Los Angeles. Hij behaalde in 1993 een succes met In the Line of Fire, met Clint Eastwood als een angstige beveiliger van de Amerikaanse president, en draaide vervolgens Outbreak (1995), met Dustin Hoffman. In 1997 haalde Petersen weer een kassucces, nu met Air Force One (met een hoofdrol voor Harrison Ford) ondanks wisselende recensies.

In 1998 kwam de directors cut-versie van Das Boot uit. In 2000 volgde The Perfect Storm, met een hoofdrol voor George Clooney, en in 2004 Troy, met Brad Pitt in de hoofdrol.

Petersen overleed op 81-jarige leeftijd aan alvleesklierkanker.

One of the documents Erik found at the National Archives and posted to the 9/11 Document Archive contains additional information about the failure to find alleged Pentagon hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi. The document, a memo of a 9/11 Commission interview of former FBI General Counsel Larry Parkinson drafted by commission staffer Barbara Grewe, concerns a consultation on August 28, 2001 between Dina Corsi, an FBI headquarters agent, and Sherry Sabol, an attorney at the FBI's National Security Law Unit.
Reaction to Coleen Rowley on Real News Network: Where's Wilshire?
The Real News Network recently carried an interview of former FBI lawyer Coleen Rowley by Paul Jay (part 1, part 2 and part 3), dealing with what it called the "unanswered questions about the lead up to 9/11." Rowley was stationed at the bureau's Minneapolis office during the Zacarias Moussaoui case in August and September 2001, but later became a whistleblower and left the organisation.
While many aspects of the interview are good and interesting, it leaves out what is probably the most important known fact about the Moussaoui case: the identity of the most senior FBI headquarters official fully involved in the case.

Dreams About Ice Cream – Meaning and Interpretation
Creamy and delicious, ice cream is probably one of the most favorite desserts all around the world. The history of ice cream is actually quite rich and long. Did you know that ice cream originates from the Far East, China?
Today, millions of people enjoy its creaminess and sweet taste thanks to famous explorer Marco Polo, according to some historical data. That means that ice cream is quite an old dessert.
The famous explorer introduced ice cream to Italy; as we all know, Italian gelato is considered the most delicious ice cream worldwide. Here are several interesting facts about ice cream, before we move on to interpreting sweet ice cream dreams.
In old days, ice cream was considered a privilege for royalty and high class and was served exclusively at court.
It was a cooling and tasty luxurious dessert for nobility on hot, heavy summer days.
The first ice cream factory was founded in America, during the nineteenth century, but the production of ice cream has been developing since the beginning of the twentieth century, with inventions of better and more effective cooling and freezing systems.
The first ice cream machine was invented by Nancy Johnson, in 1846. In addition, the first ice cream cone was created by another woman in Louisiana, in 1904. The story tells about the girl coming to the of a waffle cone, after looking flowers in wrapped in typical paper cones. The first ice cream on stick was invented in 1934, in Iowa and it was named Eskimo bar.
These are some facts about ice creams we know today.
However, the history of ice cream like products seizes into ancient times. In ancient Asia Minor, people would freeze fruit juice and eat it that way. During Persian wars, it is recorded in history that Alexander the Great introduced similar delicious refreshments into his army.
This cool dessert was also known in Ancient Egypt and it was served to pharaohs. This 'Egyptian' ice cream sounds quite tasty; it was made of sweet milk, nuts and dried fruits.
Arab traditions are also known for making some type of ice cream. It was so called 'sweet snow', which they also introduced to Sicily and other Italian towns. In Italy, ice cream had started to get better and better form, taste and creaminess.
Overall, ice cream has been one of the most popular desserts over the ages. Today, we will talk about dreams featuring this cooling delicacy.
Dreams about ice cream
Dreams about ice cream sound sweet and pleasant, but they could hide various meanings. While eating an ice cream is certainly a pleasure in reality, ice cream in our dreams does not always have fully positive meaning.
Dreams about ice cream could reflect a dreamer's peace, pleasure and satisfaction with their reality, mostly regarding his or hers romantic and love life. An ice cream motif symbolizes joys of life, relaxation times, pleasure and satisfaction.
Ice cream in dreams could also represent desire, passion, lust, even gluttony and haughtiness. Dreams about all kinds of desserts could imply such concepts, but it depends on particular scenario (devouring sweet food is commonly associated with such ideas).
On the other side, ice cream is of an unsteady form; exposed to some heat, it melts down.
It represents instability, unsteadiness and transiency. It also reminds us that some pleasures are only temporary, which also has its good and bad side.
Dreams about ice cream suggest many things, you see. It is very likely that you would dream about eating an ice cream, if you really think of it in reality and you would like to eat it. However, if not, such dreams could be tricky.
Have you seen an ice cream in your dream or have you eaten it? Did you have too much ice cream, so you feel sick? Were you buying it or someone gave you an ice cream?
Let us find out amazing messages behind these deliciously cooling dreams.
Dreams about seeing ice cream
Dreams about ice cream in general usually represent the sweetness of life, but both in a positive and a negative way for a dreamer.
For example, dream about seeing ice cream and wanting it, but not having it, could mean there is something or someone in your life you desire, but such things or people stay out of your touch.
Usually, such dreams are related to romantic desires that are unfulfilled.
You fantasize about a person who is already taken or who still do not know you are magnetically attracted to.
Such dreams are generally seen neutral, because they only reflect our current emotions.
Dreams about seeing an ice cream, but not eating it, mean you have dreams and desires you should work on or consider abandoning, depending on your intuition and the reality of the situation, of course.
Dreams about eating ice cream
Dreams about eating an ice cream are usually pleasant. Such dreams have positive meanings and they are associated with joy, happiness, relaxation, pleasure and fun. Dreams about eating an ice cream suggest you are able to relax and to reward yourself for something you have done.
Everyone needs some time to pamper him or herself, and so do you. Maybe you work a lot and do not have any spare time.
The dream suggests you should definitely have it. If you dream about eating ice cream with someone, this is a good sign. If that is your partner or a person you are in love with, the dream is an incredibly positive omen.
If you share ice cream with your brother, sister, your other relatives or good friends, the dream means you have healthy relations with people around.
It means you have people around you can always rely on and share not only bad times, but also pleasers and joys of life.
Dreams about having too much ice cream
If you dream that you have eaten so much ice cream that you feel sick, it is a warning sign type of dream. It means you should get yourself together and stop indulging yourself too much. You have become too relaxed and it definitely does you no good.
This dream could be related both to your physical and mental health.
It also suggests you act irresponsibly in situations that require some seriousness and you approach to everything in life as it is a game.
While there definitely are times for relaxing and having fun, there are other times in which you have to act like an adult, not like a spoiled child.
This dream could also suggest you have become obsessed with luxury, materiality and money, so you have lost every sense of respect, modesty and even honesty.
Dreams about buying ice cream
If you dream about buying an ice cream, it is a good sign. This dream means you value yourself and you are proud of what you have accomplished.
You are not asking to be glorified by others, but you know how to reward yourself. You know that hard work requires time to recharge and relax.
It also involves some kind of pleasure and enjoyment you could afford to yourself. Dreams about buying ice cream are proof you are very self aware and self-confident.
Dreams about a melting ice cream
If you have seen a melting ice cream, it could be both a good and a bad sign. It symbolizes transiency of things in life; it is a dream channel for you to deal with failure, for example.
This dream could reflect loss, an end of something that was a pleasure to you.
Dealing with such things is always difficult, so dreams make a comfortable zone and metaphors for us to accept endings and losses more easily.
This dream reminds you all things have an end. This dream could be positive, meaning you should value every step you take and enjoy each moment of your life the way it is.
Dreams about dropping an ice cream
If you dream about dropping an ice cream, it could suggest you are unhappy with your current romantic relationship and you want something to change.
Maybe you are still unaware of your dissatisfaction in reality.
Since an ice cream represents pleasure and romantic enjoyment, dropping it means losing these things.
Maybe you fantasize about someone else and you feel very upset about the idea of a break up. The dream suggests you should consider such an option.

Scammers impersonating tech support scam B.C. woman out of $7,000
The victim did not realize that the phone number was on a fake website designed to mimic the legitimate company's website.

RCMP say the funds are "not recoverable."Colin Dacre/Castanet
A woman in the Kootenays is out nearly $7,000 thanks to a bogus tech support scam.
RCMP said in a news release they were called on Jan. 20 by a 47-year-old Trail, B.C. woman about a "sophisticated telephone fraud."
Police say the woman was dealing with technical difficulty accessing her online account and used an internet search to look up a phone number. She did not realize that the phone number was on a fake website designed to mimic the legitimate company's website.
The imposter directed the woman to download two two software applications before arranging a video call with her. The scammers convinced the woman to send them two electronic money transfers, electronic gift cards and digital currency worth nearly $7,000.
RCMP say the funds are "not recoverable" and advised the woman to report the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre after resetting her phone.
"Most legitimate companies will not ask for personal details over the phone and not ask for funds to be transferred to them in the form of electronic money transfers, gift cards, or digital currency," said Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.
"Some fraudsters set up copycat websites in order to trick people into calling them. Check the website address in your internet browser to make sure it is the correct one and use a recognized security software provider to help you detected fraudulent website. Report suspicious occurrences to your local police if you become aware that you have been defrauded."

DRC Government Moves Forward On FP2020 Commitment
By Alison Bodenheimer, Francophone Africa Program Officer, Advance Family Planning
[Read en français]
The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) launched its 2014-2020 National Strategic Plan for Family Planning (available online in French) in Kinshasa two weeks ago—the most ambitious step to date in acting on its Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) commitment made in November. Stakeholders in family planning have been calling for the completion of a national family planning strategy since the 2009 Conference on Repositioning Family Planning. The plan lays out the government's intentions to budget for contraceptives and increase access to a range of modern methods for women in this Central African country of 69 million residents.
The two principal objectives of the Strategic Plan are to:
Increase modern contraceptive prevalence across the country from 6.5% (in 2013) to at least 19% by 2020 and
Ensure access to modern contraceptive methods to at least 2.1 million women by 2020.
Advance Family Planning (AFP) has partnered with Tulane University in the DRC since April 2013. AFP and Tulane University first came together last year to support the development of the Strategic Plan and assist the DRC Government's intention of making a formal commitment to family planning within the FP2020 framework.
The Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine has worked in the DRC for decades and built strong relationships across several key government ministries that are devoted to keeping attention on reproductive health and family planning among other competing issues in the DRC. AFP, housed within the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, specializes in a uniquely targeted and collaborative advocacy approach that is well-suited for the Congolese context. With AFP's strategic advocacy approach and Tulane's experience and valuable network of contacts in-country, the partnership has proven fruitful.
In this second year of their partnership, AFP and Tulane University continue to work closely with the Ministry of Public Health, particularly the National Program on Reproductive Health (PNSR), as well as with the Ministries Gender and Planning, to support the achievement of the ambitious goals set by the Strategic Plan and follow-through of the FP2020 commitment to allocate funds to contraceptive commodities. Other advocacy priorities in 2014 include ensuring removal of the existing law that is unfavorable to family planning and replacement with one that is favorable and establishig mechanisms fo better government accountability.
Each objective furthers the aims of the Strategic Plan and works towards achieving the increased utilization rates, which the government will track monitor success of these collaborative efforts. Selecting objectives that align with high-level Congolese aims—one of AFP's core principles— is a way to ensure that mutual goals are attainable.
The FP2020 commitment
The launch of the National Strategic Plan for Family Planning is a continuation of the momentum created by the DRC Government's participation in the 3rd International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The DRC was one of only four country delegations invited to present a formal declaration during the closing ceremony. Mr. Kwete Dieudonné, Advisor to the Prime Minister, delivered a strong commitment on behalf of the government, sealing the DRC's inclusion in the global FP2020 partnership to increase the number of girls and women using contraceptives by 120 million by 2020 (see photo, right).
Highlights of the FP2020 commitment include:
Increasing the contraceptive prevalence rate from 5.4% in 2010 to 19% in 2020, and tripling the number of users of modern methods, from 700,000 in 2010 to 2.1 million in 2020.
Executing the newly developed National Strategic Plan for Family Planning for 2014-2020.
Allocating USD $1 million for the purchase of contraceptives in the national budget. (This financial contribution will gradually increase to align with the implementation of the national strategic plan for family planning, particularly for the purchase of contraceptives.)
Protecting adolescent girls from early marriage through education, awareness raising, social reintegration, and women's empowerment programs.
Reforming laws which pose barriers to responsible parenthood and planned births
A delegation representing the DRC at the ICFP in Addis Ababa included family planning champions
from several government ministries.
The unprecedented level of support at top levels in government and across ministries demonstrated on an international stage bodes well for a united effort to improve access to family planning across the DRC. Mr. Kwete reflects positively on this collaboration: "We have to return in partnership to go further, that is, to go beyond this commitment and move towards concrete action in the implementation of the strategic plan and all that was included in the commitment, " he said during an interview following the commitment speech. AFP and Tulane, along with their colleagues within the government and civil society, are determined to seize this opportunity to push towards concrete action and create real impact.

panel of experts during a press conference on the DRC's FP2020 commitment held at the ICFP.

TV: Ash is here in new 'Ash vs Evil Dead' teaser, groovy!
If you've been dying to catch a glimpse of Bruce Campbell returning as Ash in the forthcoming Evil Dead TV series, Ash vs Evil Dead, then wait no longer.
A second teaser trailer has now been released, and this one features some proper Ash footage, if a little hidden. He speaks too! Check it out below/
Mimi Rogers ("Mad Men," "NCIS") has joined the cast of the highly anticipated STARZ series "Ash vs. Evil Dead," slated to debut this fall. Rogers will play Suzy Maxwell, a woman who is reunited with her family and several uninvited guests after a freak accident. The long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film franchise The Evil Dead is executive produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, the original filmmakers of the franchise, and Craig DiGregorio, who will serve as executive producer and showrunner. "Ash vs. Evil Dead" is currently shooting in New Zealand on the 10-episode first season.
Rogers joins the cast led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, "Burn Notice") in the role of Ash Williams; Lucy Lawless ("Salem," "Spartacus") as Ruby, a mysterious figure who believes Ash is the cause of the Evil outbreaks; Ray Santiago ("Touch," Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash's loyal sidekick; Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun her past; and Jill Marie Jones ("Sleepy Hollow") as Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan State Trooper set to find our anti-hero Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder of her partner.
Raimi is directing the first episode of "Ash vs. Evil Dead," which he wrote with Ivan Raimi (Darkman, Army of Darkness, Drag Me to Hell), Craig DiGregorio ("Workaholics," "Chuck"), and Tom Spezialy ("Chuck," "Reaper," "Desperate Housewives"). Raimi will also serve as executive producer with Rob Tapert (Evil Dead, "Spartacus," Xena: Warrior Princess") and Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, "Burn Notice") along with Craig DiGregorio ("Workaholics," "Chuck"), who will serve as executive producer/showrunner. Ivan Raimi will co-executive produce, and Aaron Lam ("Spartacus") and Chloe Smith ("Spartacus") will serve as producers.
Joining Sam Raimi in the director's chair are Michael J. Bassett, who helmed Solomon Kane, Deathwatch and Silent Hill: Revelation 3D; Canadian filmmaker David Frazee who shot a few episodes of "Orphan Black"; New Zealander Michael Hurst of "Xena" and "Spartacus" fame; Aussie Tony Tilse who shot "Underbelly"; "Xena" and "Spartucus" vet Rick Jacobson is responsible for the season finale.
The STARZ Original series "Ash vs Evil Dead" will be 10 half-hour episodes. Bruce Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons –personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its "Evil" grip.

Jubilee Park Residents Still Wary of DISD's Plans for a New O.M. Roberts Elementary
Posted by admin on Jan 11, 2011 in Alternate Sites, In The News | 0 comments
By Patrick Michels
Dallas Observer Blogs
Last we checked in with the Jubilee Parkers fighting the Dallas Independent School District's attempt to snatch up their homes to make room for a new O.M. Roberts Elementary building, the controversy looked to be finished. State Rep. Eric Johnson intervened on the residents' behalf, you'll recall, and shortly thereafter, DISD sent letters to the homeowners telling them it would back off its eminent domain suits.
Since then, though, it hasn't been all cupcakes and Gummi bears for the Jubilee residents. Their problem, says neighborhood troop-rallier Norma Hernandez, is that DISD already owns some of the homes on the land it wanted to develop. "It says that it's over," Hernandez says, in story after story about DISD backing down, "but it's really not over." Hernandez says 11 homeowners on the block adjacent to O.M. Roberts already sold to the district (two more since she put together this map last month), and last month, they say, Superintendent Michael Hinojosa confirmed DISD was looking into demolishing the houses and using the land for parking lots and playgrounds.
Hernandez and fellow activist Shawn Busari say they had a private sit-down with Hinojosa on December 14, during which they urged him to reconsider the plan, wondering how much sense it would make — or how safe it'd be for kids walking back and forth — to pepper a residential block with pint-sized parking lots. Hernandez is also worried about demolishing the 102-year-old school building, not long after the district dropped $2.6 million to renovate the place. Hinojosa, they said, was unswayed.
Last month StopDISD.org posted a follow-up to the original Jake Ewing-produced comic about their cause, this one called "Jubilee Park's Christmas Nightmare," detailing the state of their cause.
Hernandez says she hopes DISD takes a good look at some plans drawn up at Brent Brown's bcWorkshop, which proposed building a new O.M. Roberts building alongside the old one — and adding 3,200 square feet of parking — without expanding into the surrounding neighborhood. Join us after the jump, where bcWorkshop's Andy Sturm tells us more.
Sturm says he'd heard about the neighbors' concerns about plans for the new school — not just the expansion into the neighborhood, but the prospect of students being bused across the city while O.M. Roberts is demolished and rebuilt — and figured it'd be worth exploring whether there was a less disruptive way to go. "We looked at the site really quick, and tried to think of how you can not take people's houses, keep the kids there while construction's going on, and keep the old building," he says.
"The big challenge seems to be over land," Sturm says. "If you think about the last 50 years of schools, not just in Dallas but all over the country, most schools have been built on green sites out in the country." By taking an urban approach, looking critically at how the current land is being used, he and his team found there was plenty of room for a second building within the school's current footprint. All it would take, he says, is losing the portable classrooms on the northern corner of the block, and expanding into the old car wash site on the eastern corner at Barry and Grand Avenue.
Sturm says adding a new building alongside the old one would leave some flexibility in DISD's plans, too. "If, for some reason, the old building just has to go, you could put kids into the new building and tear down the existing one."
Sturm says bcWorkshop's been working closely with the Jubilee Park and Community Center on new senior housing and other projects in the neighborhood, and his team got input from the community center while drawing up the plans, ultimately passing the drawings plans along to them when they were finished.
Separately, but kinda related — you may recall that back in November we mentioned Yvette Laster's fight with the city, which has taken her to municipal court, complaining her Jubilee Park home is woefully out of code compliance. The suit was filed last July, but while we suggested it'd be going to trial late last year, Laster's attorney Chris Kling tells us the date was reset for January 26.
Busari, who earlier told us she'd help mobilize the neighborhood to support Laster, says she's been subpoenaed by the city — probably, she says, to hear from her about a Jubilee Park and Community Center steering community meeting she heard, where Laster's home came up in discussion. Busari says the committee batted around the idea of installing a community garden on the site of Laster's home. Stay tuned.

Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to prevent filling the ends of driveways with snow as the snow plow truck drives by. The snow plow blade is angled to push the snow off the streets and into the parkways. Please know that the snow plow drivers do not enjoy pushing snow into your driveway. Snow from the driveways shall not be placed back into the streets; please place the snow in the parkways. Please accept our apologies for this unfortunate situation.
On occasion, mailboxes become damaged when struck by a snow plow or when wet, plowed snow hits them. In addition, lawns and parkways occasionally are damaged if the snow plow rides up the curb into a parkway. If a mailbox or lawn is accidentally damaged by a snow plow vehicle, please accept our apologies in advance and call City Hall at (815) 786-9321 to arrange for repair. On occasion, it can be necessary to have a temporary mailbox installed until the Spring. Damage to lawns will also be addressed in the Spring.
