You can just about smell it – Sunday 12th March.
The guys I have been riding and training with over the last 4 months are pretty well set and have positioned themselves well to complete the course in a quicker time than previous years, although poor old JK, who broke his leg a few minutes before last years Peaks Falls Creek ride, ripped his hammy a few weeks back which has severely hampered his preparation.
Good luck to all who are heading over and doing the loop.
Me, I'll just do some riding at my leisure on the Saturday and Sunday and support the lads with their preparation and drinking.
Oh, that little hill at the 170km mark is the 4km 5% grind out of Omeo. Don't be afraid of it, just be aware it's there – the first time i did this ride i had forgotten about this and was expecting a nice coast before wtf – no siree. Ah, and the road to Omeo gets a little knarly toward sthe end, no dramas, just be prepared.
I've been riding for over 10 years now, have had two alloy and 3 carbon bikes in my time, but I've been hankering for a titanium bike for quite some time. We've all seen them, the raw Ti bike finish just looks great, seeing the welds, the deep lustre of the metal finish, the clean lines, sweet.
So, given the chance to try out a locally made Titanium bike that I first saw at the Tour Village back in 2016 was a no brainer. James, the brain behind the Astir brand, is a mechanical engineer with a previous life working with Titanium, decided some time back to branch out into mixing his expertise working with Titanium and his engineering skills with his cycling passion to make titanium frames and build bikes.
He's been plugging away for a while and slowly but surely building up the brand and expanding his range.
After first meeting James at the Village, I've been sporadically nagging away at him to let me give a Ti bike a try, and just after Christmas he relented, and lent me the try GT bike, a gravel tourer.
There appears to be a leaning back toward metal bikes, with newer Aluminium and Steel technologies combined with improved design and geometries matched with decent wheels, seat posts and forks improving the comfort over the older metal framed bikes. However there are still few Titanium bikes on the market, and those that you do are priced quite high, and for good reason, so it is a delight to see James persevere with his passion.
James kindly brought the bike up to Norton Summit and gave me a few hours to give it a go over some of the delightful gravel roads around Norton and Marble Hill.
The GT, with some good 40mm rubber on the front is designed to eat up bumps on the road, making for a relatively smooth ride and robust handling.
Weighing a bit less than 8kgs, its definitely no carbon bike, but the weight didn't matter when riding up the loose gravel roads. Heck, when the rider I just a tad over 80kg, an extra ½ kilo or so on the frame is really going to matter much.
The stiff frame allowed efficient transfer of what power my chicken legs through to the rubber, and with the decent rubber, it was mostly transferred to the gravel base.
Without much effort, I put the bike through its paces on a wide variety of road, gravel, bitumen, Roubaix style pavers (yes, the exist, although not as bone shaking as the real thing, Old Cherryville Road, keep an eye out for it next time your riding around Marble Hill) and even a fire trails which disappeared over the edge of a ridge somewhere just east of Corkscrew. This titanium bike shined through on all road surfaces.
I didn't tell James this, but heading down Narrow Ridge Road I was almost cleaned up by a commodore coming out of a driveway. That section of road was a short steep and descent with very loose gravel, which wasn't too bad until this commodore came flying out of a driveway and came flying up the road. With the loose gravel on the crown of the road and deep gashes on thesides, I was unable to turn as such without the front wheel digging in, so it got a little scary, but the bike held it's line and we both came out unscathed.
The bike felt significantly more rigid than my carbon bike, but it had that good solid feel without losing that feeling of responsiveness and comfort. The GT soaked up the holes and gravel just nicely thank you. It was a fun bike to ride. With some good road tyres thrown on I can see it being a good multi-purpose bike, taking me around whatever gravel I could throw at it as well being the touring bike for the longer sportive rides.
If you're thinking about looking at a Ti bike, give James a call and give Astir a try.
The following taken from their website homepage gives you a bit more of feel for what Astir is about.
Our primary material is Titanium. We use Titanium 3AL/2.5V (known as Grade 9) straight gauge tubing and double butted to build our frames. This material has been used over the years with great success in the cycling industry. It is lightweight, strong, durable and gives a very good surface finish. Tubes are selected with an emphasis on giving a comfortable yet confident sporty ride. Model variations are the (Road) Classic, Sportive, Brevet, Titan, (touring and commuting) Touring and our eBikes. (designed and engineered in Adelaide South Australia). The models are a guide and can be changed to suite your requirements and riding style.
This weeks Rider of the Week is James Raison.
If you haven't seen James out and about around Adelaide, then you've been riding with your eyes close. You'll soon understand what I mean.
This is James cycling story.
I'm James: rider of bikes, editor at La Velocita, eater of the burgers, ice cream destroyer, tyre pressure zealot, charismatic stallion, all-round legend, 30 years awesome, and exceptionally humble to-boot.
You have registered for the Indian Pacific, a ride starting in Fremantle and finishing at Bondi Beach. I've got to ask it – why?
There's a few answers to that: challenge, adventure, fun, and growth through adversity. Plus, I'll be dead one day and nobody gets a second shot at life.
I understand yo have a pact with a fellow competitor, something about crossing the line hand in hand at the end – is this true, and how deep is the man love running between the 2 of you?
Nah, no pact. We've agreed that we're happy to ride together while we're on compatible pace so nothing pact-like. This is a solo challenge and you have to be prepared to do whatever it takes to get yourself to the finish line. Maybe we finish together, maybe we finish a week apart. Who knows? It's a long race.
How are you feeling with the race just just around the corner?
Pretty relaxed considering what I'm staring down. Mostly I'm looking forward to starting. Once it's over then I can move on. This race has dominated my thoughts, emptied my bank account, and cost me a lot of sleep over the last few months. I'm just looking forward to getting back to normal life afterwards.
Can you give an overview of the training you been doing of late?
I did a training shakedown over the Australia Day long weekend that was 930 km in 3 days. Since then I've been keeping up the riding but am focusing more on getting my body in good shape with stretching and basic strength training. I've also been eating my own weight in ice cream. I need some body fat to get me across the country. It sure isn't what a lot of people expect when they ask about my training. Physical ability only lasts a couple of days. After that it becomes about managing your body and having the mental strength to keep going.
OK, enough abut the Indy Pac, lets learn a little about who James is. How long have you been cycling?
About 13 years just after I finished high school.
A horrific hangover. I got totally wasted on cheap vodka and woke up with only about 20 minutes before I was due to work at my glamorous checkout job. So I grabbed my barely functional mountain bike I got when I was 12 and sweated my way to work. That was literally how it started. I rode to work every day from then on. Then I rode everywhere.It just grew from there. I have never had a driver's licence, I just ride bikes.
Currently I have four. A Giant TCX for gravel grinding and commuting, a Daccordi Furioso when I feel like being a vintage steel hipster, a Bottecchia Emme 2 which is my fast-light-carbon bike, and the Curve Belgie Spirit that can do almost anything. I just grab whatever best suits what I'm doing, or whatever feels like it'll be fun.
I'd say my Curve with a few mods to weenie it up. It's currently in endurance spec and I can't wait to shed some weight off it when I get back from Indy Pac. If money were no object I'd throw Dura Ace 9170 on, a Tune Schwarzes Stuck seatpost, and some Tune Airways wheels. Maybe get some ultralight tyres as well. Get that sucker as light as possible. That's all the bike I'll ever need.
How do you store your bikes?
Steadyracks. Annoying to install but they're brilliant.
Do you do all your own maintenance or do you use a LBS? If so, which one?
I do basic maintenance myself but I get regular servicing at Bio-Mechanic Cycles and Repairs (BMCR). Pete and Andrew are phenomenal mechanics who work wonders on my bikes. They've also found some damaged components that could have ended in serious injury to me. So I trust them. Lia's customer service is second-to-none as well. She's very patient with my frequent emailing! They're the best.
I went and spoke to them as soon as the Indian Pacific Wheel Race was announced. I wanted them to build my rig and Pete has been tweaking it for the last couple of months. It's one hell of a bike thanks to his expertise.
What cycling specific tools do you have in your "bike shed"?
Nothing too special. Some nice allen keys, various tightening/loosening tools, a servicing stand, and a crapload of baby wipes. Those baby wipes are magic for bike cleaning.
What is your favourite piece of cycling kit or accessory?
Garmin. I love numbers and have a terrible sense of direction.
Almost everything. The fun, the freedom, the physical and mental health benefits, the challenge, the shiny things, and the social side. I was quite overweight as a teenager so cycling has become the ultimate expression of transformation and change from what I was. That's why I love climbing steep hills so much.
Riding a bike changed the course of my life and is the single most important influence on who I am today.
Just to be cliched: Peter Sagan. His abilities are staggering but the way he conducts himself on and off the bike sets him apart. From what I hear, he's just a really nice guy and everyone likes him.
Well, one has to be Peter Sagan for obvious reasons. Brad Wiggins because he's a phenomenal athlete who has reinvented himself many times in his career. I think he'd be fascinating to talk to. Alex Howes would be the last. He is just a straight-up cool guy. I chatted to him a bit at the TDU this year and he's very friendly. I'd love to go for a ride with him.
Wherever makes good burgers. I don't have much time for really fancy food. I'm a simple fella.
What are your craziest/fondest cycling memories?
Riding 1,080 km from Melbourne to Adelaide with 3 mates was my craziest challenge to date.
We smashed ourselves riding with about 2 total hours sleep in parks and ditches for the whole ride. We pushed it to the limits. Exhaustion, sleep deprivation, hallucination, we went through it all. We had fun the whole time though. The banter went for 60 straight hours.
The worst was probably when a kangaroo wiped me out last year while I was trying to do all 4 Dirty Dozen courses in 2 days. I was abut to finish the second course when a kangaroo smashed into the side of me. I was lucky not to break anything but my bike was cracked, several components broken, and my helmet was ruined.
What is your favourite post ride coffee/tea spot, and what would you normally buy as a treat?
Favourite post-ride treat is a Cibo iced coffee. I don't really like Cibo but they make the best iced coffees. Other than that, I have a few good coffee spots: Red Berry Espresso, Brick and Mortar, Pave, Coffeelosophy, and more. Depends where I end up.
Do you have a favourite overseas country in mind you'd love to take your bike to?
Japan. There's vending machines everywhere and the Japanese people are absolutely fantastic. I'd love to go back with a bike and do some exploring.
Mt Osmond is my favourite area. I love the steep climbs and the beautiful views.
I haven't had to resort to that thankfully. She hasn't asked what the total spend was on my Indy Pac setup. Hopefully she doesn't!
A power meter for my Bottecchia. It runs Campy so options are really expensive.
Is there a cycling outfit/company/cycling club/cycling group/person that you would like to plug?
So many! I'm very proud of what we're doing at La Velocita. We've had massive growth running on the smell of an oily rag. We're growing because passionate and talented people contribute. It's pretty fantastic.
Massive thanks to Cycle Closet as well for supporting me for Indy Pac. They've sourced a lot of really high quality gear for me to use. Finally, my pokey YouTube channel: RideAdelaide. It's a silly little project I've started but I get a lot of pleasure out of it.
The chill. It's an easy going town and it's just a nice place to be.
Pretty much all the interstaters who come to visit are cyclists so I take them out and blow their minds on our awesome roads.
Is there anything else you feel like talking about?
Not really, just ride bikes.
Arguably the best race of the year.
Olympic Champion and new 2017 Strade Bianchi champion, Greg Van Avermaet gets his first Monument.
Oh, and if your i any doubt about the Strade Biancha being one of the best spring classic rides on the calendar, have a look here. Some stunning photos from Gruber Images, partciularly with the behind the scenes access the photographer is goven.
A few of the photos from this site to whet your appetite.
And the Paris Nice – still a few more days to go, but a few snaps so far. Its looking bloody cold over there.
Located only minutes east of Adelaide's CBD, in the heart of the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters are three boutique cellar doors and a micro-brewery. Four relaxed environments so close to home, the Eastside Wine & Ale Trail is designed to let you hear the history and stories behind the operators as you sip and sample your way along the Trail.

1)In order to learn this trick, you must fell confident with your ollies, because the nollie requires exactly the same concepts.
2) To begin, place your comfortably on the nose and your back foot just over the middle board.
3) Push down on the nose to get the best pop;the harder you push, the higher you go. Now your back foot helps you come off the ground by sliding it up the board.
5) Now wait until you hit the ground, and like everybody says, roll away smoothly.
NOTE: If you are trying this trick over an object, you must start to nollie a little bit sooner to allow the nose can clear it.


After hours of wandering around town around 8 I made my way back to the BuqueBus Terminal to meet Laura for our scheduled meeting time.
I settled into a seat in the arrivals terminal and took a look around and for the first time that day, realized, with loads of excitement and butterflies in my stomach that I WAS ACTUALLY IN URUGUAY!!
I must have been sitting in the terminal with a dumb smile on my face.
Soon after coming to the realization that I was in Uruguay, I saw a girl about my age with two other women, look over and walk towards me. I stood up and we introduced ourselves.
I guess I wasn't hard to find. I am pretty certain that I was the only gringa in the arrivals area of the terminal.
Laura came with her mom and her friend. I quickly learned that Laura's mom didn't speak more than a few words of English, which would prove to be a great, and very quick, immersion back into speaking Spanish. I didn't want to alienate her in the conversation, but it took a while to get my grammar straightened out but Laura did a fine job of translating.
We learned that it wasn't user error at the cash machine at the terminal. It didn't work. We would sort it out later and we got into her car and dropped her friend off at her car just a few blocks away.
Laura was eager to show me around and I was eager to start seeing!

I placed the climactic sex scene in the house of a friend of mine in Baltimore's Federal Hill. I knew exactly, from well before I wrote it, what the characters would do, and what they would say — and what music I wanted playing when, later on, someone made a movie of it.

That is the ultimate temptation inherent in turning classic plays into vehicles for screen stars. Those stars pull in audiences filled with the uninitiated, with people who fundamentally do not know how to watch a play, and who are too easily satisfied. Commercial success can be achieved with something half-baked. And half-baked seems to be more the norm than the exception with the successes that do result. Classic plays tend to require directorial shaping; stars tend to tempt directors to slack off. It's not a good thing.

IN THE HEIGHTS at Toby's – Energetic But Inaudible
Knowing going in what it means for someone to say she comes from La Vibora or from Vega Alta (things I had to look up after the fact) or what kind of comestible a mamey might be (ditto), or what it means to yell 'Wepa!' (ditto again) would be helpful in this rap-centered and inaudible production. While all of us should constantly be looking to broaden our horizons, as much help as possible should be extended to make the proceedings as comprehensible as possible for Anglo newbies. And sadly, barring a half-page insert of explanation in the program, that kind of help was in scant evidence in Toby's new production.

Old Hat But Interesting: Shepard's HEARTLESS at Shepherdstown's CATF
I am not sure what Shepard is doing in Shepherdstown. The Contemporary American Theater Festival held there is dedicated to performing 'new American plays.' There's nothing new to me about Sam Shepard's play Heartless; it seems distinctly old hat. I went back to a review I wrote of one of his plays for my college newspaper in 1970, and a number of the things I wrote about that play (The Holy Ghostly) could be said about Heartless. I commented how characters migrate into each other, how they become composites of various characters, how there is no predictable logic to their interactions, and how the drama loses the sense of being story-telling about distinct persons. I compared what Shepard did to abstract painting. And, on the evidence of Heartless, it's still true.

Dancers who worked with BTOB for years dish about what the members are like off-camera, each member has great manners + attitude
In a recent video uploaded on Cha Hyun Seung TV, dancer Cha Hyun Seung invited some of his close dancer hyungs over to ask fan-sent questions about working with idols like BTOB.
On this day, director Lee Jang of the dance team 'BornBlack' and the crew's main choreographer Jin Jae talked about working with BTOB. While Lee Jang revealed that he began working with BTOB during their "Missing You" days, which was also when the 'BornBlack' team was formed, choreographer Jin Jae shared that he has worked on BTOB songs since "Wow" and "Beep Beep".
First, Lee Jang ran through his general impressions of the BTOB members. According to the dancer, Eunkwang and Changsub are incredibly polite but crazy, Peniel is also polite but has a tendency to act like he doesn't understand when he's in a disadvantageous situation, and Minhyuk is the most calm and collected member. However, Lee Jang pointed out that while Minhyuk used to be full of passion before his mandatory service, he has lost some of his old passion for practicing(?) since returning. Sungjae was named as the craziest member, while Ilhoon was described as having a very bright, kind, and calm attitude. Last but not least(?) it was pointed out that Hyunsik was a strong drinker.
Next, the dancers shared some instances when they were thankful toward the BTOB members. Lee Jang began, "During BTOB 4U's goodbye stage, Changsub called out the names of all of the dance teams that worked with them. It's not easy to think of all of the people behind the scenes, but they are always doing that. The members also always come and greet us first. Even if we are waiting for the stage and we are waiting in a different room with the door closed, they knock and come in, and take care of us, asking if we've had coffee yet." However, here, Cha Seung Hyun added on, "But these days, Changsub hyung keeps avoiding my calls whenever I call him to come work out." Lee Jang remarked, "Isn't it your job to make sure he gets his workouts in?"
Finally, Lee Jang also recounted one of his favorite shows with the BTOB members, after wrapping up a concert in Busan. He said, "After the concert, the members invited us to eat out since we were in Busan. We ate a ton of food, like grilled eel, sashimi, and BBQ. Changsub wanted to treat us so he got the agency's vice president to give him allowance or something, and we spent a ton on food."
Check out the fun stories from the YouTube clip above!

Major sporting events versus human rights: Parliament's position on the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina and the 1980 Moscow Olympics
Major sports events and politics are closely intertwined. Well-known historical examples of major sporting events that were used by regimes for political propaganda purposes are the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina and the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow. The 1978 World Cup took place around two years after the Argentinian military regime's right-wing coup and its violent repression of critics, and was then the most political World Cup in the history of the International Federation of Association ...
Workshop: Sectarianism in the Middle East
Detaljna analiza 14-07-2017
Sectarian conflict and polarisation has become a key feature of Middle East politics in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings of 2011. This workshop looked at some of the key drivers of this, such as the troubled legacy of foreign intervention, state failure, regional rivalries between Saudi Arabia, Iran and others, ruling strategies of authoritarian regimes as well as the spread of identity and sect-based political movements. With in-depth analysis of the two key arenas of sectarian conflict in the ...
India and China: Too Close for Comfort?
India and China — two emerging Asian giants — have historically been polar opposites in many ways and relations between them have been tense. In recent years, however, their co-operation has been improving and they have signed numerous bilateral agreements. From the EU's perspective, it is crucial to monitor the relationship between these strategic partners. Not only do these two emerging countries have the two largest populations in the world, but projections suggest that they will together account ...
The Cultural Revolution in China: Its 50th Anniversary Was Ignored but Its Legacy Lives on Today
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was one of the most tragic periods in China's history. It unleashed a decade of violence, in which more than a million Chinese died, some 16 million were banished to the countryside and many others suffered imprisonment, seizure of property, torture or humiliation. It left in its wake a shattered country, a fractured society in turmoil and a devastated economy. The Chinese Communist Party ignored the 50th anniversary on 16 May of the start of the Cultural ...
The Dayton Peace Agreement - 20 years on
Kratki prikaz 08-12-2015
In 1995, securing stability was the priority in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), and the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) helped put an end to a long conflict. Twenty years later, it still defines the political and institutional framework of the country. The prospect of EU integration, however, raises the question of whether Dayton can serve as the basis to that end or if it needs to be revised.
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) – 40 years after Helsinki
2015 marks the 40th anniversary of the Helsinki final act, signed in 1975. A turning point in the Cold War, the Helsinki process created a forum involving all the actors of European security: European states, the United States, Canada and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The formation of the Conference on the Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) came about during the Détente of 1962-1979. The CSCE transformed the zero-sum game of the Cold War into a positive-sum game between European ...
The Franco-German relationship in the European Union: A short overview
With Franco-German relations following the Second World War being at the very origins of the European Union, their bilateral cooperation has often been seen as the 'engine' of EU integration. Regular bilateral cooperation between the two countries was institutionalised with the 1963 Elysée Treaty and culminated in joint cabinet meetings and sectorial meetings at the highest political level to coordinate their positions particularly on the eve of European Council meetings. In this context, there ...
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP): How to explain its longevity?
With a membership of 86.7 million in 2013 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest political party worldwide, representing only slightly more than six per cent of the Chinese population. The CCP is the second-longest lone-ruling communist party, in one of the world's five remaining party-states. It heads assertively towards its 100th anniversary in 2021, since contrary to numerous past forecasts of the CCP's demise, no signs of regime change in China loom on the horizon. The CCP's strong ...
The Summit of the Americas
The Summit of the Americas is a unique forum that enables all heads of state from the continent to meet and discuss issues covering their hemisphere. Cuba's first ever attendance, at the forum's Seventh Summit, held in Panama in April 2015, marked a turning point in the process.
European Historical Memory: Policies, Challenges and Perspectives
Studija 15-04-2015
This note seeks to provide some reflections on the challenges, current policies and possible future prospects of 'historical memory' in a European context. Based on acknowledging the complex nature of collective memories in general and shared European historical remembrance in particular, including their susceptibility to political instrumentalisation, it is argued that a critical 'culture of remembering' needs to be developed. Such a culture requires increased efforts for nation states to come to ...

Q: DynamoDB Scan eventual consistency vs. GSI Query eventual consistency I have a table, which previously I have been using the Scan API (with "ConsistentRead": false, i.e eventually consistent) for my purpose of filtering by a non-key attribute. Because it is quite costly, now I have decided to add a global secondary index (GSI), in which the attribute I was scanning for before is a hash key, and I am going to use the Query API on this index.
I know that GSI's don't support "read after write" consistency, or strong consistency. I know that, when I was using the Scan API, I was not using this consistency as well, because I was doing it in an eventually consistent manner.
I am worried, does the time spent reflecting previous updates or writes in the GSI, differ much from the time spent reflecting updates and writes while scanning the table in an eventually consistent manner?
For example, is the following possible:
a) Scan

*

*A PutItem API was called on the table, i.e new record has been inserted.

*I scanned the table, after 50ms I got the fresh data.

b) Query a GSI

*

*A PutItem API was called on the table, i.e new record has been inserted.

*I queried the index, after 500ms I got the fresh data.

So, as you can see 500ms vs. 50ms difference is too large.
Can we have such a big difference in their consistency? Or, will we have quite similar values?
I am concerned if this change won't break the existing functionality.

A: Didn't test it myself, but 500ms seems a bit slow to me.
Did you see that the documentation warns about properly provisionning the table so that both the main table and index can be updated ?
Also, they mention "a fraction of a second" as an expected delay.
That being said, you can't be wrong to transition to a GSI. DynamoDB scans are really bad practice and will only get worse as your table grows. GSI performances do not depend on your table size

Elderly Couple Walk On To The Dance Floor. Moments Later They Leave Everyone Shocked!
Dave Hickman was out in the woods during a hunting trip in 1955 when he heard a faint noise in the distance. He went to investigate and found a little baby, soaking wet and close to death. He brought her to a hospital and named her. He was with her for a few months until she was adopted by a loving family.

That Direction is Up
Prompt: Sunny
Good day, Sunshine,
Sunshine is always associated with happy times, isn't it?
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Though there was this.
Ah, but summer is here, and on the theme of sunny:
Hope your week is fine and sunny!

Prompt: Cringe
The server was very pale, with dark hair and the white shirt, black trousers, and full black apron that all the servers at Le Péché wore. He wasn't our server— ours was a curly haired blonde, but he tapped me on the shoulder as I was raising a fork of duck confit with vanilla foam to my lips.
"Excuse me madam," he said discreetly, into my ear, so that even my husband, celebrating with me our tenth anniversary with this ridiculously expensive night out, could not hear. It had been a tempestuous ten years, with ups as high as the stars and downs that took us to fiery depths, and everything in between. It was somewhat of a miracle that we were happily marking our tenth year of survival together. "Would it be terribly inconvenient if we moved your table?" the server asked me.
"What?" I said, "Why?"
In the same low tone, the dark server said, "We've had a small complaint. One of our guests does not like having you within their line of sight."
"What?" I said again, certain I'd misheard, and waved off my husband's enquiring face and stopped him speaking.
"I'm terribly sorry, madam, but they don't like the way you look," said the server. "I assure you we will place you where you will be extremely comfortable." He nodded towards the corner near the shuttered window, where an intimate table for two, surrounded by tall potted plants, apparently awaited us.
My husband Rob followed the server's hand and eye, and looked at me with an expression of bewilderment.
"I'm too ugly to sit here," I told him.
"Madam," the server said with only the slightest hint of distress. "It is only a matter of ensuring all our guests are comfortable and can enjoy the riches of Le Péché."
"That is absurd," said Rob, his voice just loud enough to attract the attention of other discreet diners, at their discreet, comfortable, candle-lit tables.
The server looked around nervously. "Please accept a bottle of champagne, as our guests, when we've settled you at your new and very comfortable table."
I stood up. It was impossible to discern who among the "guests" might have lodged a complaint of this nature, as everyone was a dim, shimmering, discreet shadow. I looked for my friend Matt's bald pate— he might just pull a stunt like this. No subtle lighting reflected off a shiny head.
Rob told the server we would not be paying, and so the manager appeared, and feigned shock at our situation, before accepting our departure as inevitable and inviting us back for a VIP dining experience.
"At that table?" I asked. "The one in the corner where I would face the wall?"
"Madam," said the manager, bowing formally. "Our VIP service takes place at a specially set table, in the kitchen, where you have VIP access to all that goes on in a fine kitchen of the highest calibre, and where the chef himself serves each and every course!"
We stormed out.
In the car, as we drove to Wendy's, I stared at myself in the mirror embedded in the visor. A plain woman with pretty eyelashes and nicely formed brows, stared back at me. "What the fuck," I said to Rob. "Am I ugly?"
"Darling, don't be silly," Rob said. "But hey, that VIP table sounds kind of cool. Should we call them back?"
That's when I realized there was no such thing as a miracle.

T-bob
Prompt: Illusion
When ear noodles, which required a 3D-space around and above the helix, became all the fashion, young girls started "stacking" or elongating the ear stem gradually, using string or thread. Because they wanted to hide this dangerous, somewhat deforming practice from parents and teachers, the T-bob became popular, and not just among the ear-stackers.
This presented Mimosa with an ethical problem. She was raised in a strict, Platonic (in the modern, 22nd century sense of the word, not the classical) household, where she learned rules and laws were made out of love, and disobedience caused heartbreak to those in power. She remembered the agonizing, aching remorse when her father concealed his etching income from the government. She remembered the tears of her parents when she refused to tell them what Grandpa said. Yes, she was to be obedient to Grandpa too, but her first allegiance was to her parents. Well, her second allegiance, really.
In any case, the fourteen-year old girl who sat staring at herself in the wall to wall mirror, her back to Mimosa, her hair long, thick, and curly, said, "A T-bob, please." Mimosa ran her fingers through the girl's hair. It was softer than it looked. She brushed it away from her face. There was a bandage around the left ear stem.
Not meaning to speak, Mimosa still said, "Oh dear."
The girl, whose name was Lucy, looked sharply at Mimosa. She saw a short, pale, rather pudgy woman in her early twenties, who, like many hairdressers, had over-processed hair which desperately needed a trim; in this case, ash blonde in colour.
"I have to ask," said Mimosa. "Do your parents know you are stacking?"
Lucy lowered her head, and Mimosa did not see the eye-roll. "Yes she does," said Lucy, looking up again. "She says it's up to me. When she was my age she got a blood tattoo, you know, right?" Mimosa hoped that tattoo was not readily visible. People wouldn't hire you, not even for a grade C job, if you had a blood tattoo. The Plato Group had banned them, out of love and concern for the physical and mental health of the people.
"Well, this is permanent too," Mimosa said, trying to avoid the tone and cadence of her mother's voice, but failing. She heard her mother speak, as clearly as if she was inhabiting Mimosa's body. "And Plato doesn't want you to do it."
Lucy said something about Plato that Mimosa stridently refused to hear, lest she had to report the girl. Then silence.
"Will you report me?" Lucy said suddenly. She looked around, she looked above the entrance door, where the recorders were usually placed. No one tried to hide them: What would be the point?
She looked at Mimosa, behind her, in the mirror. Even from a few feet away, Mimosa could see chocolate-coloured flecks in Lucy's hazel eyes. They were pretty, and unusual. All around the hazel and chocolate there was white. Her own eyes were grey, like her mother's, like her Grandpa's eyes.
The room felt cold, and at that moment Jared, her business partner, burst into the shop, his lunch break over. "Hey Mim. And Lucy, isn't it? I made the appointment. I'm Jared."
Lucy did not look at him or smile. Jared paused, then went to the back lounge for a minute. Mimosa was still and quiet, her hands on the back of Lucy's chair.
When Jared reappeared he strode to where the two young women were frozen in place.
"T-bob, Lucy? It would look fab. Mim, I'll do it!"
"No," said Mimosa. She put a large, clean white towel around Lucy's shoulders, and picked up the brush again. "I will."

Prompt: Loop
Hello Wednesday, June 21, you summer solstice,
Today is my favourite day of the year because it is the longest day of the year. Sitting outside at 10 pm with a glass of wine, watching the sun set, is worth the harsh 5 am stabs of light. Yes, I am a night person.
The word "solstice" means "sun-stopping". Sun-stopping! That is not a magical astronomical anomaly, alas, but but is so-called because the point on the horizon where the sun appears to rise and set, stops and reverses direction after this day. It is an eternal loop.
Speaking of loops, the first of my favourite cartoons this week is tenuously related to the Daily Prompt, loop:
Also eternal…
They say people of high intelligence enjoy black humor…

Snapdragons [Repost]
Prompt: Unexpected Guests (Repost)
After coming home from a visit to the doctor, I approached my front door, key in hand, and noticed that my neighbour's dog was peeing on my rhododendrons. He stopped, lowered his leg, and gazed at me mournfully. He was always escaping from my neighbour's yard, and always came to pee on my plants when he did.
I entered the house. It felt cold, and I heard voices. Who else had the key to the house? Only my son, who now lived in Hamburg. I had talked to him on Skype early this morning. I heard a woman's laugh, and it gave me the courage to move from the hall to the living room, where I encountered a man and a woman.
They were sitting close together on the couch, giggling and nudging each other, as they ate hazelnut cake. They were rather sloppy eaters, and crumbs made a path down the front of their clothes, and littered the carpet. They looked up at me and smiled silently, their mouths full.
"What is going on?" I asked. I didn't raise my voice, despite the fact that I felt I needed an answer to the question immediately.
"We heard about the bake sale," the man said at last.
"We heard about your cake," said the woman simultaneously.
"The bake sale is on Tuesday. In the church basement," I said.
"It's delicious," said the man. "By the way, I'm Trevor, and this is my wife, Nancy."
I took a few steps and glanced into the kitchen, where I noticed two things: the deadbolt on the door to the garden, which was the only other entrance to the house, was still turned and locked; and the counter beside the stove was clear.
I returned to my guests and said, "How did you get in?"
"Oh," said Trevor, and a shadow of a frown crossed his face. "The laundry room window. The thing is, when we broke the handle, we must have left a sharp edge." He set the napkin which held the remains of the hazelnut cake on the coffee table. He stretched his left leg out and pointed to a snag in his pants. "I seem to have damaged my trousers." He and his wife bent over the small tear with great concern. Nancy rubbed his upper arm consolingly.
"I baked four hazelnut cakes," I said. "Don't tell me you ate all of them."
Nancy laughed again. "Oh heavens no. You just missed Ruth and Paul. They were most impressed."
Trevor took his wallet out of his pants' pocket and took out a silver toothpick, with which he delicately sought the remains of the hazelnuts stuck in his teeth.
"So you each ate a whole cake?"
"My goodness, of course we did not!" Trevor said, putting the toothpick in his pocket. "That would be piggish. The twins ate most of it."
"The twins."
"Yes, they would still be here, they so wanted to meet you, but Eric had to catch a plane. And you know the twins, where one goes the other follows. They are inseparable."
"Literally," said Nancy.
I felt a headache coming on. I went to the cupboard and took out a book. I put it in my bag. Then I went to the front door, opened it, and went outside. I closed the door behind me.
My car was parked at the curb. I went to it and started the engine. As I did so, the dog, who had been rooting around among the snapdragons, galloped like a horse to the car. I leaned over and opened the passenger door, and he jumped in.
We drove away.

Eat Seat
Prompt: Create
Josh Woodwing dimmed the lights, then strode to the presentation screen with a thin wooden pointer about half a meter in length. He grinned broadly, knowing his smile was charming, showing perfected capped and whitened teeth. "Welcome Cash and Leep! Good to see you both again. I think you're gonna like what you see today!"
Cash waved and grinned back and Leep, a little lacking in social skills, just stared at him and his pointed stick.
There were six people at the table, not including Cash and Leep. This was a team effort, a large team effort, they were telling their clients. Look at all the people involved! Think of all the meetings and brainstormings! Look at the youth of these people— fresh, talented, hungry! They want you to succeed.
"Now your revolutionary new dining chair is new," Josh said redundantly. "So we wanna generate some excitement." On the screen, a grey, well-padded, faux suede chair popped into a bright lime green.
"The green colour is optional," Tunia said. She sat at the end of the table nearest the screen. Leep couldn't fathom what kind of name "Tunia" was. Was it short for "Petunia"? It sounded too much like "tuna" to Leep's ears. It was distracting. He hadn't had lunch. "We have a number of ideas for the logo colours," she continued.
"Thanks, Tunia," Josh said. "That's one great thing about this plan: flexibility!"
"Go on," said Cash. He looked at his watch. He told the babysitter he'd be back by four o'clock.
The presentation became animated, with images of food— apples, pies, turkey legs— pitched around the screen, and letters tumbling to form words, and a shapely cartoon woman looking mightily satisfied as she reclined in the green chair, which was suddenly floating on a cloud, and a manic drumbeat merged with the sound of a heavenly choir, and then…
"Introducing… Eat Seat!" Josh announced with pride.
"Eat Seat?" said Cash.
"Catchy, unforgettable!" said Tunia, clapping her hands.
"There will be a voice-over, some of the pitch ideas are in your binder," said Josh through his beaming smile. "We want impact, contrast, buzzability!"
Cash looked at his watch again, then looked up. "I like it!" he said. "Leep?"
"But an ordinary dining chair is an 'eat seat'," said Leep. "The name isn't descriptive." Was he imagining it, or did he smell french fries?
"It jolting, attention-grabbing, makes you want more," said Josh.
"And why are the letters in 'Eat Seat' so fat and black?"
"You've eaten your fill! You're full and heavy!" said Tunia.
"Lime green won't match many dining room sets," said Leep.
"Lots of colour choices yet!" said Josh. "Orange! Sky Blue! Smooth Taupe!" The rest of the people sat at the conference table were silent, but nodding and laughing with enthusiasm, like a church congregation. "So Cash, you love it?"
"Leep has a point," he said loyally. "Or two. What was wrong with 'Dina-Reclina'?"
"We felt 'Eat Seat' was powerful, evocative, memorable," said Tunia.
"You all are sure full of adjectives," said Cash with a grin.
They all laughed. Cash noticed one young team member with long silky black hair, smiling at him calmly while the rest feigned encouragement. What was her name again?
"We are proud of this work," Josh said, almost defensively.
"And so you should be," said Cash, "but we have a few details to discuss." Leep seemed to have a good idea of what they needed; Cash would back him up.
"Shall I arrange coffee?" asked Tunia, standing.
"Yes," said Leep. "Any cookies or donuts?"
Cash looked at his watch.

The New News Tycoons: Who Are They, and Are They Here to Stay?
Marji McClure
July/August 2012 Issue
It used to be easy to identify the biggest players in the news market. Names such as Rupert Murdoch and Ted Turner and their wealth of well-known media brands and properties would immediately come to mind. Today, the web and social media, in particular, have quickly and effectively changed the news media terrain. No longer are people devoted to that one brand or channel for their news or that one stalwart that runs a nationally known newspaper or cable (or network) news channel. News junkies have started to turn to a variety of sources, not just the trusted anchors or illustrious mastheads.
"The days of everyone watching the 6 p.m. news and people getting their news from the same source are long gone," says Larry Schwartz, co-founder and president of Newstex, which offers its client base aggregated news and full-text feeds from thousands of news sources. "The segmentation is huge now and the speed at which news travels is huge."
It's not just a huge media enterprise that is managing the flow of news content today. The whole definition of a news source has greatly changed. "A single person now can be a news source and publish, broadcast, and get as much buzz as [a larger outlet]," says Schwartz. "A single person can tweet a story … and have as much impact as The New York Times. That's a huge change."
The Making of a News Leader
So what's leveling the playing field? How are small players—so small that they may be a one-person operation—able to earn the eyeballs and respect of content consumers? There are many factors at play. "They can really come from anywhere," says Kathy Greenler Sexton, vice president and general manager of the content division of SIIA (The Software & Information Industry Association). "They have the technology. They're smart guys and they have the right idea at the right time."
"When you think of a mogul … it's all about relevancy and context, and a mogul has the influence," says Greenler Sexton. "But influence on the web, depending on who you are, you don't need that money to match the old moguls of the past. But you will have the influence."
Schwartz says that these new tycoons are created through a specific cycle. First, they typically begin with one person posting his or her opinion. After an audience is established, that person might hire staff members and get venture capital funding. Sometimes, the operation is acquired by another media company. "But it always starts with one or two people in a room typing out their thoughts and their opinions. And if they get an audience, they grow it into a network or into a media company," says Schwartz. "They're just not people sitting at home in their pajamas anymore. These are important media companies that sway public opinion."
One of the most notable examples of this is paidContent, which started with Rafat Ali sitting at his computer. He built a following and a team before selling the company—ContentNext Media, Inc.—to Guardian News and Media Ltd. in 2008. Earlier this year, paidContent was sold again, this time to another leader in the world of digital news, GigaOM.
Schwartz points to Business Insider, a business website that provides news for a variety of vertical markets, from finance to politics to entertainment and sports. Led by Henry Blodget, a former Wall Street analyst, Business Insider "produces as many stories as a major newspaper does. They're probably read by more people than a metro newspaper now; and they're influential," says Schwartz.
For news on a national or international scope, the local daily news sources don't typically provide the depth of coverage that today's readers seek. "Nationally or internationally, if your interest is technology or politics or whatever, the local paper or the nightly news just doesn't deliver the depth or analysis that you want anymore," says Schwartz. "There are so many choices. There's so much segmentation."
Who Are the New News Tycoons?
It's hard to truly get a handle on just who the new leaders in news are. The very nature of the internet makes it difficult to pinpoint who the most influential voices are at any moment. It's so difficult, in fact, that when industry experts were asked who they thought the new news tycoons were, they couldn't agree on a substantial list.
There are new "must read" news sources almost every day. Each has its dedicated followers who remain engaged through a mix of breaking news and analysis. And identifying the new news leaders isn't made any easier by the variety of forms they take. Some of the biggest names in news take traditional journalism and give it a digital spin. From The Huffington Post—and all of the other AOL, Inc. properties that are now part of the Huffington Post Media Group—to GigaOM, many of the new news leaders don't look all that different from the old tycoons. But each of these started as the vision of one person—Arianna Huffington and Om Malik, respectively.
Sites such as ProPublica eschew the fast-paced breaking news and aggregation models of other sites such as The Huffington Post and concentrate on in-depth, investigative journalism—the kind that had all but disappeared at even the most well-respected, old-fashioned news sources. ProPublica, Inc. is led by Paul Steiger, former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal; Stephen Engelberg, a former managing editor of The Oregonian and former investigative editor of The New York Times; and Richard Tofel, the former assistant publisher of The Wall Street Journal.
But the new leaders in news don't always take such a familiar shape—many look more like Schwartz's Newstex. Aggregators such as Flipboard, News360, and Google Currents neatly package content from a variety of sources so readers don't have to hunt for news from the ever-proliferating number of sources. And often these aggregators deliver that directly to smartphones or tablets.
Social Media and the Personal News Experience
In the past, solid financials and strong brands have made identifying the traditional news leaders an easy task. Today, those brands don't always hold the value they once did. In many cases, digital media sources are able to provide a more personalized experience. With fewer staff members and less overhead, these new news leaders are able to focus on niche content and to cater to more specialized audiences. In fact, it's this niche nature that makes determining the new news tycoons such a difficult and subjective process.
No discussion of a personal news experience is complete without a mention of social media, where each of us is able to curate our own news stream and, in effect, be the editor of our own personal news site. Facebook is making it even easier to do this with Interest Lists, which allows users to subscribe to content on a specific subject matter.
"If I had to vote for the new news tycoon, I would vote Twitter," says Schwartz. "If someone breaks a story that I think is authoritative, I'm going to retweet it and if enough people retweet it, that becomes breaking news. Twitter is really the new news tycoon."
In fact, Schwartz says that he considers Twitter today's news wire, where people can find those breaking news tidbits. While Twitter is not perfect—it can be difficult, at times, to separate truth from rumor—it does provide a level of immediacy that is challenging for the traditional news players to compete against.
"I think it's a new world and you're seeing people adapt to it," says Schwartz. He notes how the newsgathering process has changed for people seeking breaking news. He points to what he did when singer Whitney Houston died in February, and news of her death began to emerge.
"I hear a rumor and somebody says Whitney Houston died. I open my iPad, look at CNN and there's nothing there. I go to FOX News, nothing there. I go to NBC, nothing there," recalls Schwartz. "Then I go look on my RSS feed and see some rumblings. Then I go to Twitter and Twitter's ablaze with news about Whitney Houston. You start to realize that if you want to find out breaking news, you go to Twitter."
"All of the big players have tried to get into social media," says Dan Strempel, senior editor/analyst of the business and professional group at Simba Information, a market intelligence firm that covers the media and publishing industries. "They all have Twitter accounts and they comment there on things that are happening in the news or they release product information through Twitter."

Dig is a community of chefs, farmers, creatives, activists, and innovators devoted to rebuilding the food system through vegetables. We're creating a new kind of restaurant group that connects people to good food at an affordable price. Since launching in 2011, we've opened 27 quick service restaurants, partnered with 80+ independent farms, and taught thousands of people how to cook (really cook) in Dig kitchens.
But our story is just beginning, and we'd love for you to be a part of our next chapter of growth as we build a full service restaurant in the west village to open this fall!
It will be a neighborhood restaurant centered around a wood fire grill and with a menu centered around the fresh from the farm vegetables we have always loved. Behind the scenes, the restaurant will be supercharged by the infrastructure that we've spent nearly a decade building. The kitchen will have access to the best ingredients on the market through our network of farm partners. The chef will recruit talent from the hundreds of culinary professionals that we've been training since day one. If you're a chef or hospitality leader with passion, imagination, and vision, drop us a line. We would love to speak with you and build a restaurant together!

When They See Us
Have you seen this movie; Write a review
In 1989, a jogger was assaulted and raped in New York's Central Park, and five young people were subsequently charged with the crime. The quintet, labeled the Central Park Five, maintained its innocence and spent years fighting the convictions, hoping to be exonerated. This limited series spans a quarter of a century, from when the teens are first questioned about the incident in the spring of 1989, going through their exoneration in 2002 and ultimately the settlement reached with the city of New York in 2014. The cast is full of Emmy nominees and winners, including Michael Kenneth Williams, John Leguizamo, Felicity Huffman, and Blair Underwood. Oscar nominated and Emmy winner Ava DuVernay co-wrote and directed the four episodes.

Huckabee and Education
Terence P. Jeffrey
"I'm probably one of the few candidates you have ever seen that has the recommendation of (a National Education Association) chapter, but also has the strong national recommendation of homeschoolers," former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told me in an interview.
This unusual polarity points simultaneously to Huckabee's greatest strength and potential weakness as a Republican presidential candidate.
Among viable candidates, Huckabee is the strongest on the most important social issues, abortion and marriage, which helps explain his appeal to the culturally conservative families represented by Home School Legal Defense Association Chairman Mike Farris, who personally endorsed Huckabee.
Unlike former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Huckabee has always been pro-life and has never pandered to the gay-rights movement. Nor does he oppose a federal marriage amendment or favor federal funding for embryo-killing research, as Sen. John McCain of Arizona does.
However, while Huckabee's eloquence reminds some of Ronald Reagan, aspects of his gubernatorial record have led many conservatives to fear he would perpetuate one of the worst features of the Bush administration: Its embrace of big government.
My interview with Huckabee focused solely on education. The full transcript and audio are available at CNSNews.com. Here are some highlights.
When I asked Huckabee to point to language in the Constitution that authorizes a Department of Education or federal involvement in primary and secondary education, he said he does not believe the federal government has much more than a cheerleading role in this area. "I don't think there is really a federal role or responsibility, constitutionally, in education," he said. "I think education is a local function. It should be a state function. I have always believed that, and I still believe it. I think if there's a role, it is to encourage, it's to recognize the value and importance."
Nonetheless, he does not believe the Department of Education itself is unconstitutional. "I don't know if you can say that having the department is unconstitutional," he said. "I think having a mandate where you insist on exactly what education looks like at the local level would be unconstitutional. That's the difference."
Nor does he think the No Child Left Behind Act is unconstitutional. "If it's employed properly, it could be constitutional," he said. "A lot of people say that it's the federal government telling you exactly what you can do. It does not do that. What it does say is that states will have benchmarks, they'll have to set what those are, and how they determine those will then ultimately determine whether they receive federal funding for certain programs, whether it's Title I, Title II, Title IX, etc."
As Arkansas governor, Huckabee reduced regulations on homeschooling and appointed a homeschooling mother to the state board of education.
But he also consistently opposed school-choice programs that included private schools. When a commission he appointed recommended Arkansas give all parents a voucher equal to the per-pupil cost of educating a child in the local public schools, he instantly rejected the proposal. He also opposed President Bush's initial plan to give children in failing federally funded public schools a voucher redeemable at private or religious schools.
At a December press conference, the Concord Monitor reported, the president of the New Hampshire chapter of the National Education Association "lauded Huckabee's opposition to school vouchers" and announced that the state union was endorsing him.
Huckabee told me that while he opposed vouchers in Arkansas and federal mandates for vouchers, he supports states and local school districts that implement them. "What I don't want to do is to have the federal government coming down and telling all 50 states here is how you are going to fund education, here is what vouchers are going to look like," he said. "Because in some states, for example mine, it would be very problematic to create a statewide voucher system when most of our schools are rural, they're small, they are miles from another school, the economies of scale simply wouldn't necessarily make it that easy to implement a widespread voucher system. But if local districts wished to do it, if states wish to do it, I think that's fine. It goes back to the basic concept that this is a state's decision."
Conservatives, I suspect, will find some of Huckabee's reservations about vouchers more persuasive than others. He cites a compelling argument from Christian school administrators, for example, who told him they fear that "once you take government money, you take government control." He once told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, on the other hand, that vouchers should be off the table in Arkansas until "the public schools are up to snuff."
In his interview with me, however, Huckabee did offer an alternative route to school choice for parents who don't want to send their children to public schools. "I think that we ought to have tax credits for a family whose decision is to put their children in an alternative environment. And that is something that I would support," he said. "It's an empowering method to families."

Finding some of the best of what the music industry has to offer.
Live at Leeds – Little Dose Of Indie's Top Picks
Here's a small selection of artists I'm hoping to catch at this year's festival – you never know which 'next big thing' you might stumble across...
by Ellie
Live at Leeds is an annual festival featuring some of the best up and coming UK and international artist, held at various music venues across Leeds. In previous years, it has featured the likes of Royal Blood, Wolf Alice, The 1975, Catfish and the Bottlemen – and even Ed Sheeran..! Here's a small selection of artists I'm hoping to catch at this year's festival – you never know which 'next big thing' you might stumble across…
VANT : 12pm – 12:45pm – Dork Stage, The Wardrobe
After a year on hiatus, Mattie Vant has finally returned – and this new era of VANT is set to be better than ever. Unafraid to experiment between different genres, Vant's politically fuelled lyrics truly strike a chord – and with all the major events that have occurred in the past two years, there's certainly plenty to shout about.
Notable tracks: 'Talk Like Thunder', 'Birth Certificate' and 'Exoskeleton'
Lucas Watt : 2:30pm – 3pm – The Social
The Skipton born singer and guitarist recently released his debut EP 'broken reflections' this January. Mixing soulful ballads and flaming riffs, Watt's raw vocals and spirited melodies are meltingly good – catch him now before he's playing much bigger venues.
Notable tracks: 'tightrope', 'why did i call', 'more than this'
No Hot Ashes : 3:15pm – 3:45pm – Dork Stage, The Wardrobe
Stockport 4-piece No Hot Ashes bring the funk to indie rock – and after powering through a sold out show at AATMA in Manchester, the band are about embark on what may possibly be their last time playing 'small' venues. Characterised by gritty vocals and zingy riffs, No Hot Ashes bring a laidback, yet highly energetic live set to the stage.
Notable tracks: 'Easy Peeler', 'Skint Kids Disco', 'Eight Till Late'
WOOZE : 4:30pm – 5pm – Dr Martens Second Stage, Brudenell Community Room
The Korean/British duo WOOZE bring an effortlessly cool psychedelic mix of funky riffs and infectious pop melodies. The duo stand out amongst the crowd – their cleverly unique sound has placed them on a rapid ascent towards sell out shows across the UK.
Notable tracks: 'Hello Can You Go', 'Ladies Who Lunch With Me', 'Party Without Ya'
Sam Fender : 6pm – 6:45pm – Leeds Festival Stage, o2 Academy
2018 was a huge year for the North Shields singer – and 2019 is set to be even bigger. The 'Dead Boys EP' showcased his exceptional ability to capture listeners both lyrically and musically, whilst his latest release, 'Hypersonic Missiles' has propelled him even further. Sam Fender is on the rise – and you don't want to miss him.
Notable tracks: 'Poundshop Kardashians', 'Hypersonic Missiles', 'Leave Fast'
Black Honey : 8:15pm – 9:15pm – Farah Stage, Leeds University Union Refectory
With the release of their debut album in 2018, Black Honey are going from strength to strength. Knocking back the sexist label of 'female-fronted band', Izzy B Phillips owns the stage at every gig. In a recent interview with NME, she discussed how she's even refused entry into her own gigs "Usually I'm having to scream at some security guy: 'You fucking sexist!' before I can get to play at my own gig." Black Honey never fail to put on a good performance – from the energetic Americana-esque 'Hello Today', to the more subdued 'Baby', the Brighton four-piece are archetypes for creating cinema-soundtrack-esque tunes.
Notable tracks: 'Corrine', 'Crowded City' and 'All My Pride'
Tom Grennan : 9:45pm – 11:15pm – Leeds University Union Refectory
After the release of his debut album 'Lighting Matches' in 2018, Tom Grennan just keeps getting better. 'Found What I've Been Looking For' quickly became his most popular single – scoring his first solo chart position. Grennan's soulful, Nutini-esque vocals and soaring melodies prove again and again he has the ability to top the charts.
Notable tracks; 'Barbed Wire', 'Sober', 'Little By Little Love'

Luke Rudkowski interviews Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick following the debut of their series, "The Untold History of the United States." Luke discusses with them about the lack of outrage shown towards the President Obama's continuation of Bush's policies. Luke also talks to them about what should be done in regards to a new investigation into 9/11.
There was a "commission" to investigate the JFK assassination too. What makes the 911 Commission's conclusions more honest?
911Peacenik on Tue, 11/13/2012 - 7:31pm.
Oliver Stone actually gets up and walks away to avoid elaborating on his pathetic answer! He's as bad as Amy Goodman. The thing I really like about this new Martin Sheen, Woody Harrelson movie is that it will force the issue of 9/11 truth into the mainstream since Stone and Goodman (and Moore) will not.
Hey Luke, you should take your camera into the NYPD Police Museum in NYC and interview the curator about the melted pistols encased in molten concrete. This smoking gun for CD and 1,750 + degrees F. is not locked away in a hangar -- it's on public display in a museum in NYC!! A POLICE museum!
RL McGee on Tue, 11/13/2012 - 8:56pm.
Concrete does not melt, at least not in the way you may be thinking. Concrete is composed largely of gravel an sand, with Portland cement that holds the sand and gravel together into a solid mass. The sand and gravel will melt, but you will not be doing it in your kitchen oven! A temperature of several thousand degrees is needed, and the result will be much the same as the lava that comes out of volcanos. After all, gravel and sand are just rock, as is molten lava. The Portland cement in concrete, is a mixture of various hydrates and silicates of calcium, aluminum and other elements. It too is a "rocky" material that will not melt at any practical temperature, either.

This is more extreme even than the melting point for steel and way out of line with the official fire temps in the buildings. Someone has to account for this evidence. The curator cannot pull a John Gross and simply deny the existence of what he's standing beside.
3. He denies that he is standing in front of previously molten concrete.
RL McGee on Wed, 11/14/2012 - 1:49pm.
That museum is closed right now due to Hurricane Sandy but maybe when they reopen some one in NYC can go over there and ask them.

Stone Has Potential To "Get It".
Its possible he may not be "up to speed" so to speak on the multitude of suspect areas surrounding the event. Perhaps more contact with some of his peers who do "get it" could bring him around as they say.
But hard not to notice how he suddenly departs from the table once the 9/11 questions began getting asked.
And Luke R. has become a good journalist. His lower key approach is getting more people of interest to talk more.
Aidan Monaghan on Wed, 11/14/2012 - 6:47am.
Because of Oliver Stone's JFK, I believe he, and Amy Goodman and, maybe even Michael Moore, have been "warned off" touching 9/11 Truth with a carrot and stick. The stick: "we know where you, and your family, live". The carrot being the opportunity to make movies (well that's the case with Stone and Moore).
Ynda on Wed, 11/14/2012 - 9:00am.
Stone was warned off for sure. Remember what a mealy-mouthed-non-humorous movie W was? No content and nothing controversial, and not even compelling or entertaining - just straight washing over the of the "evil doer" himself.

The dialogue was preposterous all the way through.
Stone's "World Trade Center" was almost as bad. In one scene they do show Bldg 7 coming down and in another they have the Nicholas Cage character say "Don't think" in response to loud explosions in the background. Other than that...Nada!

Compared with JFK, his movies W and WTC are blands-ville. How else can you explain his sudden conversion to the dark side?

"the truth has a mind of its own"
The real deception of Stone is that he plays the part of a brave truth teller going up against power. Make no mistake: he's undoubtedly "up to speed" on 9/11. His new series on Showtime is called "The Untold History of the United States". In this recent LA Times story he says "Whether I go to jail or go into exile--it doesn't matter. I believe the truth has a mind of its own--and will get out there."
Let's hope you're right Oliver, but let's not pretend you're actually helping it get out there.
Hats off to Luke for putting him on the spot. His discomfort was plain obvious.
