Slate of comedic icons to star in TNT's The Librarians
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Retro Fix, TV — 8 Comments
The TNT Network announced it has ordered 10 episodes of The Librarians, a new television series spinning off from The Librarian movies. Christian Kane (Leverage, Angel) and Rebecca Romijn (X-Men, King & Maxwell) are returning to TNT and will lead the cast of the new series along with Lindy Booth (Kick-ass 2, Nero Wolfe, Warehouse 13, Dawn of the Dead, Supernatural) and John Kim (Neighbors, The Pacific). Stars of the previous stories in The Librarian universe, Noah Wyle (Falling Skies, ER), and comedy icons Bob Newhart (The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, Bob), and Jane Curtin (Saturday Night Live, Kate & Allie, 3rd Rock from the Sun) will reprise their roles in the new series. Wyle will also continue in his role on TNT's Falling Skies.
Fans of the Syfy Channel's now defunct Warehouse 13 may find some familiarity in the world of The Librarians, as the show centers on an ancient organization hidden beneath the Metropolitan Public Library dedicated to protecting an unknowing world from a hidden world of magic. The team solves mysteries, fights supernatural threats, and recovers powerful artifacts from around the world. Among the artifacts housed in the Library are the Ark of the Covenant, the Spear of Destiny, the Judas Chalice and Excalibur. As with Myka and Pete from Warehouse 13, only a person with special skills can protect these artifacts, and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
Along with comedy icons Newhart and Curtin, fan favorite comedic actors John Larroquette (Star Trek III, Stripes, Night Court, Deception) and Matt Frewer (Max Headroom, Orphan Black, Star Trek: TNG) will be regulars on the show. Larroquette will play Jenkins, overseer of the Librarians, with Frewer an immortal, ancient cult leader named Dulaque.
Here's more details on the series courtesy of TNT:
For the past 10 years, Flynn Carsen (Wyle) has served as the Librarian. Prior to taking the job, he was a bookish nerd with 22 academic degrees and absolutely no social skills. As Librarian, however, he managed to use his extraordinary knowledge, successfully recovering ancient artifacts and, in the process, saving the world from unspeakable evil on more than one occasion. Over the last decade he's gone from bookworm to dashing swashbuckler, one of the secret heroes of the hidden world. As great as Flynn is, the job of Librarian has become more than one person can handle. To aid him in his duties, the Library has recruited four people from around the world, including Eve Baird (Romijn), a highly skilled counter-terrorism agent who is responsible for protecting the group and keeping them all alive; Jake Stone (Kane), an Oklahoma oil worker with an IQ of 190 and an encyclopedic knowledge of art history; Cassandra (Booth), a quirky young woman with the special gift of auditory and sensory hallucinations linked to memory retrieval, known as synesthesia; and Ezekiel Jones (Kim), a master of new technologies and aficionado of old classic crimes who enjoys playing the role of international man of mystery.
Leverage execs Dean Devlin, John Rogers and Marc Roskin will serve as executive producers along with Wyle. We spoke with Star Trek: TNG's and Leverage's Jonathan Frakes about his involvement with the series earlier this year. He's directed two episodes for the initial run, and was enthusiastic about working with TNT again.
Look for The Librarians on TNT later this year.

Country singer wants to bring tour to Kingston
The Kingston Whig-Standard
If the crowd-funding campaign Mandy Bo launched this week is successful in raising the $5,000 she needs to record an EP and launch a tour, one of her first stops would be Kingston.
While Bo -- also known as Mandy Boreskie -- has never lived here, she nonetheless feels a connection to the city: her mother lived here for a half-dozen years or so, a couple of decades back, and spent many of those nights sleeping in homeless shelters.
Her mother, Michele, has never seen her daughter perform music before.
"I would love to play in Kingston, and I have invited my mom to watch," Bo said over the phone from Toronto. "She was so ecstatic. I was like, 'Mom, we haven't raised the money yet, but if we do, we'll bring you in and we'll do it.' "
Bo and her mother have rekindled their relationship in the last few years after a decade or so of silence after a falling out when Bo hit her teen years. Up until that point, Bo had kept in touch with her mother, from whom she had been taken when she was two years old and relocated with her grandparents in Windsor. Her mother moved from Windsor to Kingston to be near her boyfriend, who was incarcerated at a penitentiary.
"There's always that lost part of you," the 28-year-old recalled of her decision to reach out. "Some people don't have the option to ever find that. I think it took me so long because I was so scared of it, but I was I have to do this. I have a chance here to reconnect with someone I knew."
Michele Beaudoin has a rare disorder called Sturge-Weber Syndrome, which left her with a port-wine stain on the upper hemisphere of her face. She was one of the first Canadians to be diagnosed with the extremely rare condition, Bo said, which saw Michele Beaudoin suffer her first stroke at age 12 and survive numerous seizures each day. It can also signal intellectual impairment.
While some might shield this kind of past, Bo -- who's currently finishing her post-grad degree in corporate communications and public relations at Centennial College in Toronto -- doesn't shy away from it. She even wrote an e-book about her mother, simply titled Michele. She published it on her website, and has been writing a screenplay version of it.
"I had this urge. I had to do something," Bo said of her reasoning behind the book. "I don't know why, but it feels like something I'm supposed to do. Which is kind of what happened with music, too."
She has wanted to be a singer for as long as she can remember, but she was a bit on the shy side.
"There was a period when I was afraid to take it on, just being shy and things like that," said Bo. "As I got more confident with modelling and then acting, I was like, 'OK, I'm going to do this.'"
Bo started modelling at age 17, commuting from Windsor to Toronto on weekends for photo shoots. Then a friend suggested she audition for an independent film, called Saving Grace, and she wound up with the lead role.
"I did the whole auditioning thing and film thing, and I left because it was interfering with music and that's what I really wanted to do," Bo said. "Anytime I had to go to an audition, it took out of my day time when I could be writing or recording."
So, as she nears completion of her life as a full-time student, Bo has launched a Kickstarter campaign in which she hopes to raise $5,000 for a "country pop" EP and the aforementioned tour.
She counts Johnny Cash and Nancy Sinatra as major influences for her so-called "West 'n' bass" sound.
"The sound contains a lot of country-style instruments with electronic drum and bass and cinematic elements in there as well such as talking or gunshots or spurs or things like that," said Bo, who has a few songs and videos posted on her website www.mandybo.com.
While her arduous upbringing does figure into some of her song's lyrics -- not to mention the odd reference to past relationships -- that's not always the case.
"Sometimes people just want to have a good time and feel good, so you try to tap into that," offered Bo. "You can't be serious all of the time."

Writer: David Goyer, Geoff Johns	Artist: Patrick Gleason Publisher: DC Comics Release Date: August 21, 2002 Critic Reviews: 2 User Reviews: 1
Power Girl Karen Starr takes on one of the strangest people she's ever gone up against: her greatest fan! A love-hungry, too-hip-for-the-room metahuman who'll do anything to win her affection.
Get a copy: Amazon
Comics Bulletin - Jason Cornwell Aug 27, 2002
A highly entertaining standalone issue, that turns it's attentions on Power Girl who was in need of such an introduction, as while she was a member of Infinity Inc. (the farm league version of the J.S.A.), she's been out of circulation for the past five years. Plus, while I'm familiar with the character from her time in Justice League Europe, this issue acted as a nice reminder of why I grew to like the character. This issue nicely plays up the idea that Power Girl is a strong personality, who speaks her mind, while also keeping the sense of humor that keeps her from coming across as too forceful, as often happened during the latter half of her time in the Justice League. The issue also creates a fun opponent for Power Girl to square off against, as while his abilities make him little more than garden variety super-powered thug, his obsession with Power Girl makes Lucius Funk (aka. Da' Bomb) into a delightfully silly creation. Read Full Review

Exhibition on Tibetan Thangka at the National Art Museum of China
By: TheValue
07 Jan, 2017 | Sat | 08:25
Since the reign of Songzän Gambo of the Tubo Dynasty, Buddhism has been introduced to Tubo (the Chinese name for Tibet in medieval times). Thangkas, the unique Tibetan art, refer to a kind of religious paintings which is kept unframed and rolled up when not on display. Most of the thangkas are portraits of Buddhist figures, such as Sakyamuni Buddha, Chakrasamvara, Cakravamsara, and Yanmāntaka. Thangka painters adopt a strong use of colour. Generally speaking, there are two types of thangkas: one is embroidered, made of silk fragments; the other one is mosaic, made from the assemblage of small pieces plateau stones and plants. The materials for making thangkas are scarce natural resources, and the art demonstrates rich spiritual meanings—for both reasons thangkas become very valuable in the eyes of many.
The National Art Museum of China in collaboration with the PRC Promotional Committee of Tibet Autonomous Region, the Department of Culture of Tibet, and the Art and Cultural Union of Tibet Autonomous Region, presents the "Tibet in the Heaven-Joint Exhibition of Top Tibetan Thang-ga Works" exhibition, which shows more than 20 thangkas.

Q: Выполнение миграций в консоли yii2 Есть проект. В нем есть миграции.
При разворачивании проекта на новой машине выполняем след. действия:
1.php init
2.php yii migrate/up

Как php yii migrate/up запихнуть в php init, чтобы не делать лишние действия?
(На самом деле команд больше, просто для примера привел эти)

A: Например, создаете контроллер ProjectController в консольном приложении, экшн actionInit().
public function actionInit()
{
    $this->printHeader('Migration up');
    $this->runMigrationWithMarks();

    $this->printHeader('Init users');
    $this->run('local-users/init-default-users', ['interactive' => 0]);

    $this->printHeader('Set default parameters');
    $this->setDefaultParams();
    ...
}

/**
 * Migration up
 *
 * @throws \Exception
 */
private function runMigrationWithMarks()
{
    try {
        ...
        $this->run('migrate/up', ['interactive' => 0]);
        ...
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        throw new \Exception($e->getMessage());
    }
}

Прописываете нужные команды, запускаете php yii project/init.
Но, init, мне кажется, все равно нужно отдельно запускать.

Home Healthy Living Lifestyle Iontophoresis for Excessive Sweating – How it Works?
Iontophoresis for Excessive Sweating – How it Works?
Hyperhidrosis, which can cause your hands and feet to sweat excessively, is a particularly unpleasant condition. Unsurprisingly, most people who suffer from it are looking for a simple and proven treatment, and preferably one which does not require drugs to be taken.
The main drug free treatment for the condition is iontophoresis. This has such a good success rate that it has been widely adopted by health care systems around the world, and is now considered the best course of treatment for hyperhidrosis in most people, assuming that initial attempts to manage the condition with antiperspirants have failed.
Hyperhidrosis in both its primary and secondary forms is receptive to iontophoresis treatment, and it has the major advantage that it works well in the vast majority of areas of the body where excessive sweating tends to occur. Provided that the correct equipment is used, areas such as the face and neck can be readily treated, but it can be particularly effective for treating hands and feet. You really can get comfortable and dry in these areas by using this type of treatment, and thousands of patients can testify to what a massive difference this has made to their everyday lives.
A huge advantage of iontophoresis machine is how simple it is to use, particularly when treating the feet and hands. All that you as the patient will need to do is to place the affected body parts – in other words, your hands or feet – into a water-filled bowl. A special machine is used to generate an electric current, which is weak enough to be completely safe, and this is passed through the water.
Scientists believe that the current from the electricity acts to block up the glands in the skin which open to allow sweating. An initial session will keep the glands closed for a day or two, after which you will need to treat again.
Many people are concerned that treatments involving electricity might be painful. In fact, the current used to treat hyperhidrosis in this way is sufficiently weak that all you are likely to feel is a little irritation and perhaps mild discomfort. This will generally pass very quickly, and as your symptoms become less problematic with further treatment, you will be able to increase the intervals between your iontophoresis sessions.
In fact, within two weeks, it is quite likely that you will be required undergo the treatment at intervals of a few weeks, rather than a few days – and you can treat yourself at home with a simple kit.
Using iontophoresis machine for excessive hands and feet sweating is highly effective, with a success rate of up to 90%. However, it does require you to maintain a treatment program in the long term, as hyperhidrosis will return if you cease to keep up with your plan.
Because iontophoresis is simple, quick, and easy to perform in the comfort of your own home, it should be fairly straightforward for you to get used to taking the few minutes you need to keep your feet and hands dry and comfortable. The number of people report significant increases in their quality of life because of this treatment is high, so you have an excellent chance of joining them.

Our readers talk back.

'Chronicle,' Allow More Diversity
I will attempt to keep this criticism as constructive as possible regarding your columnist Ms. Baumgarten and her review of what I thought was a great film [Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Film Listings, Feb. 25]. We are all entitled to our opinions, but there are times when culture brings about a huge difference in the ways we perceive things. I think that this is definitely one of these instances.
I encourage your critics to not be so quick to dismiss future pictures with lines like "yet another black woman ... gets her groove back." I am a black woman who never tires of seeing something that I can relate to and that is factual to my life. It's no different than people who enjoy movies that relate more to a specific audience and culture simply because they understand it better.
I think the big picture here is understanding someone, something, or a way of life that is not like your own. Which in turn means most people who haven't gone through, witnessed, or even been around a broader spectrum of persons simply can't understand. I hate to say that Marjorie just doesn't get it, but she did make the comment that it targets urban black women (although I saw plenty of nonurban men and women alike enjoying and singing its praises). Maybe you would need to be an urban black woman or just a bit more up on what differences we all face to really get it.
I have not lost faith in the Chronicle or in Austin for that matter, even though in what is supposed to be one of the most diversified and cultured cities in Texas, I see little to no interest in the black community. Just please, please (if you even care and want to keep and gain a wide variety of readers) allow a more diversified array of writers', columnists', and critics' views to grace the pages of your paper. Thank you for your time.

Ordinances Not Working
Re: "Business as Usual at the LCRA" [News, Feb. 25]. The quote by Bill McCann of the LCRA that the NPS ordinances currently in place "have been doing their job and will continue to do their job" is absolutely not true, and he and the LCRA know it. Lick Creek is their poster child for bad BMPs and one of the primary reasons that the NPS Ordinances are being reviewed for strengthening. Please, readers, don't forget us and don't forget that the Hill Country is getting ready to change forever. The Hill Country Alliance as well as the Guardians of Lick Creek are working feverishly to do what we can to preserve our water quality, our creeks, and the rural character we all love (except politicians and developers). Lick Creek is absolutely awful – you wouldn't believe the "before & now" without being appalled.

Full Equity Partners
We're writing in reference to your story on the proposals to redevelop the old Seaholm Power Plant ["Beside the Point: Council Ponders Seaholm," News, Feb. 25]. We appreciate the kudos but also want to emphasize that we are not "potential partners," but full equity partners in this venture with Stratus Properties and Trammell Crow. We're fully invested in this effort and couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to create a new home for KLRU, Austin City Limits, and the Texas Music Hall of Fame, and build a world-class outdoor live music venue right in the heart of Austin.

More of Tribute to Hunter S. Thompson
Dear Mr. Black,
I cannot believe that The Austin Chronicle gave such short shrift to the passing of Hunter S. Thompson ["Page Two," Feb. 25]. You indicated that any tribute (obituary) to him would be "obvious." Well, then state the obvious and allow something to be published. Spare us your meandering "tribute" (she's still alive) to Nanci Griffith ["There's a Light Beyond These Woods," Music, Feb. 25]. Nanci is a wonderful songwriter, but even I can read her lyrics on the CD. Obviously.

Texans Should Do It Right
In regard to Family Protective Services: Young and old people are being abused. Young and old are dying unnecessarily. We haven't provided enough competent caseworkers to handle their needs. Each of our caseworkers is now assigned approximately 74 cases. Our best caseworkers don't have a chance to do an efficient job. To meet national child welfare accreditation standards the caseload would be limited to between 12 and 15 cases. The national average is 20 cases. Our immediate goal should be to assign fewer than 20 cases to our caseworkers. Texans want to be better than average!
Many young and older citizens are sick and lack the health insurance needed to see a doctor. Every Texan should have health insurance, allowing preventive medicine and medical advice. Every Texan living in poverty should have access to a doctor provided through the state.
In regard to public education: The Robin Hood system for redistributing wealth solved many of the inequities and is approved by a majority of Texans. There should be some simple basic changes to make it constitutional. Another alternate solution is to adopt a simple state income tax where every family and business could pay their fair share. Most of the leading states use this taxing method. Texas should be the leader! Do not be hesitant about putting this to a vote. Let us drop the mantra "no new taxes" and adopt "Texans do it right."
Don't start with a limited amount of funding for these programs. Find out what's needed, and find the money to do it right.
In the end, let it be said by everyone that you were selfless and did everything possible to help and protect the sick and needy as well as planning good things for our youth and the future of Texas.
'I Don't Like (Insert Band)'
I don't have anything for or against Cruiserweight (I've never even heard 'em), but I'm fairly certain the Chronicle has featured other bands I don't particularly like ["Cruiserweight: Armed and Ready," Music, Feb. 18]. If I don't like a band, I'm pretty sure no one else likes them either – no one who knows what they're talking about, anyway – and people who do like them need to be told why they shouldn't.
Imagine my joy upon discovering a fellow arbiter of taste in "Postmarks," Feb. 25. Mr. Burnam's letter has inspired me to act.
In an effort to save valuable "Postmarks" real estate (along with some ink, and maybe a small part of a tree), I'd like to provide the following template for use by other equally verbose letter-writers with similar complaints:
"I don't like (insert band name), the band featured in your latest issue. Anyone with even the slightest bit of musical knowledge and/or taste will surely recognize their obvious lack of talent; if you actually do like them, I guess you're just too stupid to know any better. (Band name again), and all bands like them, should shut up and go away. In the future, you should only feature artists that I deem worthy, such as: (list of bands that meet the author's lofty standards)."
See how easy it can be to eliminate a couple of column inches' worth of pointless, overwrought blather?

Should Not Be in Constitution
Two competing versions of the Anti-Gay-Marriage Amendment – HJR 6 and HJR 19 – have already been referred to the Texas House Committee on State Affairs. These proposed amendments would write discrimination for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Texans into our Constitution by banning marriage for same-sex couples. We have a tremendous opportunity to defeat these amendments now, before they have a chance to get on the ballot in November. Contact the legislative offices of the State Affairs Committee members below and urge them to vote no to keep unequal treatment for gay and lesbian Texans out of our Constitution. Or fax your legislators from the Web site www.saveourconstitution.org.
The committee members are: David Swinford (chair), 463-0470; Sid Miller (vice-chair), 463-0628; Dan Gattis, 463-0309; Byron Cook, 463-0730; Jessica Farrar, 463-0620; Jim Keffer, 463-0656; Trey Martinez Fischer, 463 0616; Mike Villarreal, 463-0532; and Martha Wong, 463-0389. Your call will help the LGBT community of Texas have a voice in the legislative process. Use some of the following talking points and share your own story about how these amendments will personally affect you and your loved ones.
These amendments would put unequal treatment for gay and lesbian Texans into our Constitution! The Constitution should never be used to single out a group of people for discrimination, but that's exactly what these amendments would do. The Anti-Gay-Marriage Amendments would hurt real Texans in real ways. It would deny many Texas families and children access to health care, inheritance rights, and the ability to make life-saving medical decisions. No one wants the children of gay or lesbian parents to be put at risk because of the absence of strong legal foundations. Our Constitution is supposed to protect people, not hurt them. There are more than a thousand rights, protections, and responsibilities that come with marriage and that the Anti-Gay-Marriage Amendments would deny to gay and lesbian couples. We may disagree about marriage, but those disagreements do not belong in our Constitution.

'News of the Weird'
So, two years later, "Ms. Doe" wants to sue the makers of the adolescent cyber-game "boob show" for agreeing to photograph her brand-spanking-new, store-bought implants ["Block Those Cyber-Boobs! – Flasher Sues Game Makers," News, Feb. 25]? Guess she wanted some sort of photo-baseline for future sag documentation – hope the doc that did the job had a disclaimer for gravity.
Well, first off, her parents can't be depended upon for good judgment since they bought the pair for her as a gift, so why should little Ms. Doe be considered any more reliable? I mean, whatever happened with getting her a used car for her 18th birthday?
Jeez, what is it that this family seems to think that everyone else should be responsible for their bad judgment and then actually talk themselves into thinking this was a good idea?
What were the parents thinking little Ms. Doe would do with her store-bought boobs at Padre Island during spring break? Hide 'em? Wrap 'em up? Take a dip in the wading pool to see if they float?
This is "News of the Weird" material.

Thanks for Griffith Coverage
I just read Louis Black's article about Nanci Griffith and the influence of her music ["There's a Light Beyond These Woods," Music, Feb. 25] (living in Wisconsin, I read the piece in the online version of the Chronicle).
I met my wife through our mutual interest in Nanci's music, and my involvement in an e-mail discussion list known as the NanciNet has introduced me to many good friends I would otherwise never have known.
Thank you for the cover article, and for Louis Black's fine fan letter. He said it much better than I could have done.

Against Toll Roads
The Austin Toll Party has been maligned and misunderstood by both the American-Statesman and the Chronicle. Although I live in Elgin and don't dislike Mayor Wynn per se, I hoped their effort would make the mayor and other CAMPO board members see that citizens have power and won't take abuse without a fight. In a public countywide referendum, CAMPO's plan to tax already-built roads would have easily lost.
Commuters inside and outside Travis County and Austinites will pay dearly to drive through the "toll moat" around Austin. This expense, plus increases in costs of goods and services, will break some families, who can't even scrape up enough money for health care or car insurance, let alone $60 to $80 more per month per car in each household. Look at a good map and you will be appalled at the toll tax network CAMPO is trying to force on us.
This trend of governments to "sock it to the public" with new toll roads seems to be happening in many places in the civilized world, and is being fought against in other states and even in other nations by grassroots organizations like the Toll Party.
CAMPO wants to toll almost every local highway. It's an economic threat to many and will create as many traffic problems as it solves. CAMPO has ignored and continues to snub the public's opinion and is bullying us into an excessive network of toll roads.

Galiza Is a Celtic Nation
As a Galego, I feel compelled to explain the presence of "incongruous Celtic" music that can be heard in the movie The Sea Inside [Film Listings, Feb. 25]. Galiza is a Celtic nation (www.celticnationsworld.com), and Galego is spoken by more people than those speaking Euskera. Not to mention that walking along Galician streets gives you the opportunity to hear some nice bagpiping.
I hope this helps to clarify the "incongruity" of the music.

Welcome Air America
Air America came to Maryland, D.C., and parts of Virginia only a few months ago. I think most people are surprised at the enthusiastic reception it received. I hear from so many people how much they enjoy it because it is so completely different from what has been offered to them. We need to hear lots of points of view on the big issues of the day, and liberal talk radio can give just that: another way of looking at things to help all of us decide which makes sense to us. Congratulations, Austin!

In regards to Million Dollar Baby: If you have not seen this movie do not read this letter! I do not want to spoil the plot for anyone, but am I the only person in the world who has noticed this glaring inconsistency? By any boxing association standards in the world, WBA, WBC, whatever, this girl would have been awarded this fight victory. While laying paralyzed in the hospital she would have had the world championship belt, as some small consolation, to look at. I was very moved by this film and the deeper issues that are addressed beyond the boxing movie, but the girl won the fight, so give her the damn belt!

Bush Language
Re: Bush's trip to Europe. I found myself laughing out loud imagining the look of utter consternation and bewilderment on the faces of the translators/interpreters as they struggled to process Bush's words (I cannot use the words "thoughts" or "sentences" here).

Leave Boy Scouts Alone
When in 2000 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Boy Scouts of America, my hope was the Scouts could put their legal battles behind them and get on with the pressing mission of preparing boys for service to God and country. But the harassment continues. The Boy Scouts have been booed at the Democratic National Convention, stripped of United Way funding in some parts, and sometimes denied the opportunity to use school facilities for their meetings.
As a former Scout and airman I am deeply troubled by this slap against the BSA. Scouting teaches the basic virtues of discipline, industry, courage, and integrity, and Scouts do not deserve harassment. They are simply standing firm for what they know is right.
The left's crusade against the Boy Scouts is errant. This nation was founded on the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," for God the creator is the source of our unalienable rights. George Washington, who probably understood the First Amendment better than does the ACLU, declared in a National Day of Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1789 that "it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor."
In the year 2000 the U.S. Department of Interior sought information on whether federal agencies that work with the Boy Scouts violate the Clinton administration's executive order banning discrimination against homosexuals by federal agencies. In response, on Aug. 31, the governor of Texas declared he was troubled that the memo appeared to suggest the administration would sever the federal government's relationship with the BSA. "I hope that President Clinton and Vice-President Gore respect the role the Boy Scouts play in our society and will not allow them to be shut out of federal funds."
We may hope the former governor, now commander in chief of the Armed Forces, will remember the wisdom of these words.

Pro-Cannabis
As a Colorado citizen who voted for Amendment 20 allowing people to use cannabis medicinally in my state, I agree with HB 658 ["Weed Watch," News, Feb. 25], protecting humans from attacks by the federal government. The government would like citizens to think cannabis is a chemical weapon of mass destruction; in reality, Coloradoans use the plant cannabis medicinally, following state law simultaneously, and it works: cannabis use has not increased, and the sky hasn't fallen.
It is also biblically correct to relegalize cannabis (kaneh bosm, before the King James Bible ). The Bible indicates God created all the seed-bearing plants and said they were all good, on literally the very first page in Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30. The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that we use it with thanksgiving – see 1 Timothy 4:1-5, where it even describes who will promote its prohibition as those who have fallen away from the faith.
Truthfully,

Swanson Answers His Own Question but Not the One Asked
Max [Minor],
I'd love to answer your question ["Postmarks," Feb. 25]. Actually, Bush, and Clinton before him, listed several reasons for action in Iraq, including 1) continued and vicious human rights abuses, 2) refusal to comply with the 1991 cease-fire agreements, 3) refusal to comply with 17 U.N. resolutions demanding specific actions and clearly warning of action if he continued to refuse, 4) firing on coalition aircraft patrolling the U.N., not the U.S., but U.N. no-fly zones. As for the WMD, I suggest anyone really interested read Hans Blix's report to the U.N. in January of 2003, just weeks before the war, in which he unequivocally stated that Iraq did in fact have "thousands of chemical rockets unaccounted for." Hans Blix was the chief U.N. arms inspector who was actually on the ground, in Iraq, inventorying weapons and overseeing their destruction prior to 1998. He said they were there as well, so perhaps your question might encompass more than just President Bush? Thanks for asking.
Carl Swanson
Clarifying the Question
Actually, Mr. Editor, Max [Minor] asked a question that was based on something that never happened ... the case for war was built on many things, not simply WMD ["Postmarks Online," Feb. 25]. But hey, I understand your need to denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with your own myopic personal view of the world. Sorry.
[Ed.'s note: Let me help here by clarifying the question by adding: How do you think "... the U.S. Congress and the American public [would] have reacted if Bush had truthfully built the case for his Iraq war by saying we want to spend a few hundred billion dollars and expend thousands of lives just so Iraq can hold democratic elections?"]

When I took my first undergraduate fiction writing class at The University of Kentucky my instructor, Gurney Norman, tried to impress upon myself and the rest of the drifting sophomores that writing wasn't magical; that it was instead a process of constant addition. He told us about his friend Jack Schaefer, another Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford, and how he was compulsive about getting his words each night. Before he would leave his room he had to get his thousand words. The book he was working on a thousand words at a time became the novel Shane.
As a writer I've always had habits that I warn my students against. I don't read as widely as I should, something I'm working on, and I tend to be hap-hazard with revisions, which is another thing I'm trying to change. My worst habit though is that I depend on the fever. What I mean by that is my own writing tends to go dormant for months at a time. During this time I'm collecting ideas, writing down dialogue here and there, talking to myself, etc., but I'm not doing the work of putting anything down on paper. This only happens when I feel like I have a head full of story and need to make the voices stop. Then, and sadly only then, can I disappear into a fever of writing. It's a desperate period of time. Days are spent in a flurry of typing as I try to pull out everything I've stuffed in my head and half-remembered, make all the odd edges come together. The fever usually pays off in the end, but the time wasted leaves my creative output a shadow of what it could have been.
In On Writing Stephen King states that if you want to be a writer you have to be able to lock yourself away every day, and get down four thousand words. This way you will always have work, even if it is terrible, and therefore promise that at least some of it will, or can be, good.
The valleys of time between my fevers are simply reconciled procrastination. I envy the journalist who has to write every day until it becomes so second nature that he or she notices the absent sound of keystrokes the way those from a large city might comment on the lack of ambulance sirens when they go to the woods. I am shamed by the television writer who writes fifty jokes a day before lunch. Whether through dedication or fear they've found their practice. That's what I want my writing to be, a practice, something I do everyday without thinking about it.
I'm coming around as best I can. I'd love to image myself stabbing the keys every night instead of gravitating toward the Kerouac-on-benzedrine race to the finish. This week I've made a small step. I'm working on a thousand words a day. It takes about an hour; sometimes less, and sometimes more. Three and a half to four pages a day my new novel is coming to light as crippled and ugly as any first draft.
I had never been more jealous, and I hope one day to be able to come close to even just the shadow of such a well-earned failure.

After the first movie Love
He has not been much communication with his father, they were reticent to each other, he read all the way to smooth, almost did not let too much air force father fees. In fact, even if he has a problem, it will not go to his father, he more often choose to bear alone.He always thought of his father as a piece of decoration for the home dispensable, remember not say, not to mention heart care. So he read all the way, almost all of the selected schools far from home.University in the north, is a graduate of the United Kingdom and not in further.After returning home because the love of photography, chose to become a freelance photographer.Or vice versa, at the time of his father's side stay, from no more than two days. The phone every time you turn back, even if it is terminated from the father, even if he does something needs to find his father to discuss, he would habitually say: Let my mother to answer the phone.Separated by thousands of miles, I can not see his father's face, but he still does not know how to deal with this taciturn man.They are so unfamiliar with one another, unfamiliar to even touch the line of sight will instantly jump to go together.And like other as father and son, knee to knee to do the exchange, but there will be no. That year he is to secure a television shot a documentary opportunity.But because not found the right photographer, he had to pick up the camera himself.And the play all the way to the villagers to send photographs of people he picked to choose to go, finally let his father do think, is the essence of the most fit documentary. Documentary tells the story of a photojournalist, occasionally go to a village in Yunnan Hmong living in the interview, by the way is where each family are photographed, when he promised to take these photos will be sent to them after the wash out, but because not thereafter stable life, he put down several times this matter. A few years later, he finally unbearable torment, he decided to let his father to send these photos.The child in the photo, have grown up, the old man in the photo, and some have died, many things have changed, but people's hearts on a piece of pure land, has remained the same. He called his mother and let her tell his father this decision.Mother over the phone, listening to actually laugh.He surprised, that the mother is questioning his ability to make a movie. Stop for a moment, before opening his mother and asked: Do you want to shoot your dad, but you do know him?This question, so he thought for a long time, but still can not find the right answers.Just when he was going to find a person to do the play of his father, his mother texted him and said, your dad agreed, the day after he drove with you, to shoot this movie. His father decided to look at, he has become hesitant.He finally understand why that question asked of the mother, the year will not be more than one hundred exchange them with each other, while making this documentary takes a month's time, so long live, how they spend their old estrangement, the problem seems to be more important than the shooting of the film. Sure enough, his father drove to the road in the village, when his father aligned with the camera, hiding behind the lens eyes, was actually some confusion, it seems that such close attention, is not supposed to happen between him and his father of. Father confidently drove to see his shot is not.Along the way he photographed, is the father back, but fortunately this story with the requirements of the basic agreement.His father is a good extras, in fact, the father is the documentary, as a completion to the photograph of a commitment to do.He was shot, almost can not see the show traces of his father, he had this strange 50-year-old man, to his son a few years ago these photos captured, climb one steep hill, a household to find photos those villagers still alive, tell them it took his son's photograph, he had promised them to send photos, this commitment now, finally able to achieve by their own behalf. His lens, in order to film, most people have given up on the land, he faithfully and fervently records changes here, grazing cattle, running dog, villagers gather on the funeral, pious woman listening to music , tireless child.All this because of the time, in his lens, to bring a touch of warmth. In order to be faithful to the objective record, he did not want to father a face shot, and as such, will bring the documentary subjective color.Father has been with was very good, not to ignore his shooting, but according to his guide, walking at the edge of the camera, the chunks of space to the villagers here. But when one occasion, when he will hold a lens from a puppy intimate whispers of children, moved back next to his father watched, he suddenly pulled back his sight, facing the camera, so fondly gazing, it seems All the love, all hidden in the camera, rather than the son guided the children play with the puppy warmth of the moment.Staring at his father's lasted a long time, until finally he hid behind the eyes can not tolerate this in the eye, the lens actively moved elsewhere. He made the final cut of the movie is when it is found that this is the only father to face the camera lens.Several times he wants to cut this lens, but finally refrained.Film screenings at the meeting, and she has a lot of the audience, raised harsh criticism of this lens. They said his father this deep gaze, is spilled outside the film, the director not only did not this ruthlessly cut off, but this as the most critical end, I do not know exactly for what purpose. The moderator asked him to give the audience a reasonable explanation, and he, staring at his father in front of the lens fixed on the screen for a long time before saying: I am the last, before we know the film, the father gave me a gift, and I have no reason not to cast him gave me this unique look, long remain in the memory image? Film former love after.He is hiding behind the lens, only to see his father deep boundless love.They can not like each other and the child puppy, nestled close, caressing, with only understand the language of each other, unimpeded exchange, but the share of hidden many years of love, or through the lens, quietly blooming in front of him.

Juventus striker Carlos Tevez would be an "ideal reinforcement" for Atletico Madrid, says head coach Diego Simeone.
Diego Simeone has confirmed Atletico Madrid have made tentative enquiries about acquiring Juventus striker Carlos Tevez during the close-season.
Despite helping Juve to a domestic double and the UEFA Champions League final - scoring 29 goals in the process - Tevez's future in Turin remains uncertain, with boyhood club Boca Juniors also linked with a move.
"The truth is I haven't spoken to Carlos," Simeone told AS. "But I know the club is talking to his agent.
"I'm always excited at working with players like Tevez.
"He has a lot of good things in his game: it's in his blood, more than the amount of goals he's able to score a season.
"He would be an ideal reinforcement for how football is played at Atletico."
Tevez is not the only player Atletico had been linked, with Villarreal's Luciano Vietto also in the frame.
Simeone added: "Vietto is an objective, both of mine and the sporting director's department.
"We're close. I hope to have him for next season because for me he is a player of extraordinary characteristics.
"I see him as very similar to David Villa when he began. He's settled very well at Villarreal. I know him from Racing and I gave him his debut.
"Hopefully we can get him because he would be a major boost."


WADE'S WORLD: What story does your passport tell?
IN an idle moment, possibly at this time of year when pining for warmer climbs, do you ever thumb through your passport?
I occasionally do when moving piles of stuff around, to carefully return it to its 'safe' place to be forgotten ensuring a frantic search the night before travel.
If you holiday further afield than the EU, where your passport will seldom be stamped, your tiny book can fill with inky stamps and forbidding-looking documents in unintelligible scripts.
Your passport can tell its own stories. I sometimes look in horror at the Turkish visa in my passport, without which I couldn't leave Istanbul airport, but having lost my wallet, didn't have the $10 to pay for. Several hours and signatures later, and on surrendering my passport, I was lent the required cash.
Thumbing through my current passport, I always feel a pang of regret that when I renewed it eight years ago, I forgot to ask to keep my old one.
So gone are the stamps from newly-democratic Czechoslovakia in the early 90s, and gone was the visa to visit Russia in 1998. This was another trauma which pained me before even leaving these shores.
I sent my passport three times to the Russian embassy in London with the required documents, confirming I had somewhere to stay with cheques.
Back it would come with some problem highlighted (this was before online applications). A series of difficult phone calls to a fearsome and rude Russian woman, who at one point asked 'Why are you lying to us?' convinced me that everything I'd read about Russian paranoia was true.
Coming from the Isle of Man, I have a slightly different passport to UK residents. It's British, but my guarantee to 'enter without let or hindrance' comes from the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man and not the Queen. The Manx navy amounts to a couple of fishery protection vessels, so the chances of them sending a gunboat in the event of said let or hindrance are small.

Honesty only policy for Campus Lounge owner
Dan Landes believes in honesty. That is why he didn't try to spin the closing of the iconic Campus Lounge.
Honesty.
I was impressed by an article in the Denver Post last month about the closing of the Campus Lounge near the University of Denver, after the new owners had operated it for less than six months.
Closing the iconic restaurant/bar, of course, didn't impress me. It's always sad when a business closes, especially a restaurant like the Campus Lounge. If its walls could speak, they would not only talk but also cry, squeal, bluster and tell the tale of Denver's transformation over almost a half-century.
What impressed me about the Denver Post story about the demise of the Campus Lounge was the honesty of Daniel Landes, one of the owners of the Campus Lounge and the guy who came up with the failed idea to turn it from a sports bar into what he described to me as "a beautiful dive bar, with a gorgeous kitchen that serves great food."
Daniel Landes is shown with his partner, Brittany Martinez, in the Campus Lounge.
Nothing wrong with that concept, of course.
"A waitress at the Campus Lounge described it the best," Landes told me.
"She said it was like, if you ordered a Coke and you were given an iced tea. You take a sip and go: Yuck. There is nothing wrong with an iced tea, but you were expecting a Coke."
Landes, 46, and the father of four, didn't mince words or try to spin why the concept didn't fly.
"Basically, it was a failure," Landes told the Post last month.
Landes said he ignored the legacy of the previous owner, Jim Wiste, an All-American University of Denver hockey player and a Chicago Blackhawks veteran.
Landes is a lot of things – restaurant owner, novelist and publisher. But one thing he is not is a sports fan.
He was already in discussions to buy the Campus Lounge, with partners including Charlie Woolley, owner of St. Charles Town Co., when Wiste died earlier this year after running the Campus Lounge for 44 years.
"The memorial service drew 500 people," Landes said. "Five hundred people wouldn't attend my memorial service."
That should have been a clue how beloved Wiste was and how closely he was associated with the Campus Lounge, according to Landes.
"A legacy is real. Jim was a legend and well-loved, and I ignored that legacy. I took the TVs out of a sport bar. I'm an idiot," said Landes, his string of straightforward honesty continuing.
How could he have made such a blunder?
"The thing is, I have no passion for TVs. I wouldn't even know what sports game channels to put on. I did have a passion for this location, this beautiful dive bar and this incredible neon sign."
The neon sign is part of the charm of the Campus Lounge, according to Daniel Landes.
He put the loss of the Campus Lounge into perspective.
"I'll survive. People have gone through a lot worse," he said.
Honesty was the only policy he ever considered when he admitted the Campus Lounge wasn't making enough money to keep it afloat.
"I guess that is a rare thing these days," Landes said. "It's not getting any better. But in my world, transparency is efficiency. If you are transparent and honest, you can just move on. I took responsibility. I own it. That's liberating. If I had tried to say something like Bonnie Brae wasn't yet ready for our concept, people would have said, 'Screw you.'"
Landes started in the restaurant business washing dishes at the Skillets restaurant at Interstate 25 and Hampden Avenue when he was 14.
At 26, he opened Watercourse Foods, perhaps the first vegetarian restaurant in Denver, which he sold two years ago. He also opened the City O'City vegetarian restaurant, the Make Believe Bakery and an eco-hotel restaurant and bar in Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca, Mexico.
"All of them are going strong," Landes said.
He also wrote a novel, "Joonie and the Great Harbinger Stampede," and started a literary magazine, Suspect Press.
Landes said he thinks President Donald Trump, a real estate developer, has sent a message from the top down that honesty doesn't matter.
"I think we as a society, what our president has done for us, is tell us there is no reason to tell the truth," Landes said.
"Everything is so toxic and so ugly now. But I can't bitch about the president and be a scumbag myself."
Landes' honesty is not just for public consumption, and in his professional life, but perhaps, more importantly, sends an important message to his children.
"I was taking my little girl to school and she asked me about the Campus Lounge. I told her it was a failure. My 7-year-old told me the only failure is to fail to try."
That touched him deeply.
"We can learn a lot from failure. Honestly, what I learned from the Campus Lounge failure is worth a lot more than making money."

Schedule to Watch Barcelona Live Streaming Online HD on Android 2019
Live Streaming Barcelona - Here we have provided streaming barcelona specifically for fans and in general who are hobbies watching football matches in various leagues currently running. The Barcelona club includes class clubs as well as Real Madrid, AC Milan, Man Utd, Liverpool, Juventus, Man City, kooora Everton and other clubs. So for that we here have presented barcelona live streaming and play schedules every time the club participates in the league as well as streaming it to overcome matches that are not broadcast live in a teleisi station that usually broadcasts it.
Fútbol Club Barcelona, also known as Barcelona or Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain. Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, British and Catalan players led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, which has the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). Unlike many other football clubs, supporters have and operate Barcelona. He is the second richest football club in the world in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of € 560.8 million and the second most valuable, worth $ 3.56 billion.
Barcelona's official national anthem is "Cant del Barça", written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinas. The club has been a participant in the Primera División (Main Division) since 1928, and together with Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao are teams that have never been relegated to Segunda División (Division Two). The club also became the club that won the Spanish league for the first time. With 23 Spanish League titles, 25 Copa del Rey titles, 10 Spanish Super Cup titles, 5 European Champions League titles, 4 UEFA Cup titles, 4 European Super Cups, FC Barcelona is one of the most successful teams in Spain, Europe and the world .
The most tangible evidence when in 2009 FC Barcelona managed to become the first Spanish club to win the Treble title (La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League). Continued with the achievement of the Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup to complete the achievement of his title to Sextuples. Barcelona is the first football club in the world to make this achievement. Barca fans are also often called Culés.
Barcelona is one of the most supported teams in the world, and has the largest social media among other sports teams. Barca players have won a record number of Ballon d'Or awards (11), as well as records of the number of FIFA World Player of the Year awards. In 2010, the club made history when three players who came through its academy (Messi, Iniesta & Xavi) were chosen as the three best players in the world, having bagged top spots at the FIFA Ballon d'Or, an unprecedented achievement for players from football schools the same ball.
At first, the club always moved from field to field. In the second stage, the club settled by finding a fixed place at Les Corts. And in the third stage, and the construction of the Camp Nou, reflects the development and triumph of this club on a global scale. The old Les Corts field, inaugurated in 1922, was rebuilt several times to provide a place for a growing fan base. After the Spanish Civil War, the club began to attract more members each year, which also meant a much larger audience in matches.
This increased support was an inspiration for several development projects, from the south wicket (1946), north wicket (1950), and the capacity of the main stands (1944). However, it became increasingly clear that what the club really needed to do was build a completely new stadium, and therefore, the board of directors combined all this development into Les Corts with a plan to make the dream of a new stadium a reality with a short story from year to year. the year continues to develop rapidly and until now.

Brutalism love
noun An architectural style of the mid-20th century characterized by massive or monolithic forms, usually of poured concrete and unrelieved by exterior decoration.
noun The practice or exercise of brutality; inhumanity.
noun Brutish quality; brutality.
noun architecture A style of modernist architecture characterized by angular geometry and overt signs of the construction process.
Coined in 1954 by the English architects Alison and Peter Smithson, after Le Corbusier's béton brut (French, raw concrete).
The name Brutalism -- from the French béton brut, the raw concrete used by Le Corbusier and favored by modernists -- is more commonly used today as a term of opprobrium by a public that profoundly dislikes the style's rough textures and powerful forms.
The Beauty in Brutalism, Restored and Updated
Commission characterized the old six-story cube as a "good example of a modern form of architecture known as Brutalism which is gaining notoriety and appreciation among architects and historic preservationists."
PegasusNews.com stories
The architectural style of that building is called Brutalism, a Modernist style, and like all Modernist styles, is extremely unpopular with those that read about such things right now.
Lowell Sun Forum
Not so fast, say the city's historic preservationists; it's a good example of the modern architectural style known as Brutalism and ought to be saved.
As I read on, of course, I realized that the term "Brutalism" was actually a nickname for the mainstream modern architecture pioneered by Le Corbusier, who was practically God Himself to the architecture schools and art history departments of my undergraduate years.
Brutalism created Le Corbusier-inspired "streets in the sky", intended to mirror the roads in the slums they replaced, later epitomised by Erno Goldfinger's 1968 Trellick tower in North Kensington.
British architecture: modernism
The design of The Hepworth Wakefield is unconventional, reviving Brutalism in an already fairly bleak Northern landscape.

I did wonder if the setting, a town called New Bruton, was named for the architectural style of Brutalism.

Brutalism especially has become a scapegoat for the failure of that post-war welfare state optimism.

It is so with evil; it is easier for a man to go down the longer he goes down, and it is easier for him to go up the longer he goes up. And so it is with looking to Jesus; it is like the movement of the eye the lid moves instinctively and the Bible uses it as a figure of God's care. "Keep me as the apple of thine eye." Before the dust can hurt the eye, the little curtain falls over the tender ball. So we find ourselves in life instinctively holding our tongues when we would have felt like talking. So we can discern the very scent of evil before it comes and inarticulately breathe a prayer to heaven before the danger reaches us. Thus also will the habit of obedience be formed; it comes by doing steadily, persistently, and faithfully what the Lord would have you to do. He is putting you to school in these little trials, until He gets the habit confirmed, and obedience becomes easy and natural.
Again, if you would abide in Christ you must cultivate the habit of always recognizing Him as near, in your heart of hearts, so that you need not try to find Him, reaching out to the distant heavens and wondering where He has gone. He is right here; His throne is in your heart; His resources are at hand. There may be no sense of God's presence, but just accept the fact that the Spirit is in your heart, and act accordingly. Bring everything to Him, and soon the consciousness will become real and delightful. We do not begin with feeling, we begin with acting as though He were here. So, if you would abide in Christ, treat Him as if He were in you, and you in Him; and He will respond to your trust, and honor your confidence.
Again, if we would abide in Christ, we must be very watchful of our senses. There is nothing that so easily sets us wandering, and leads us out into dangerous fields and by-path meadows as the senses of the body. How often our eyes will take us away! Walking down the street you will find a thousand things to call you from a state of recollection. Some people's eyes are like a spider's they see behind and before and on every side. You know Solomon says, "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee." It is this letting the world in, no matter by what door it comes, that separates us from the presence of our Lord.
Once more, if we would abide in Him, we must cultivate the habit of internal prayer, communing with God in the heart. We must know the meaning of such words as "God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you." This habit of silent prayer, not in word, but in thought, is one of the secrets of abiding. There is an old word the mystics used, "recollection." We would call it a recollected spirit.
There is another word in connection with abiding: it is vigilance being wide awake. It is the opposite of drifting. It is the spirit of holding, and being ever on guard, and yet sweetly held by the Lord. Now this does not mean that you have to do all the holding and watching; you are to have your hand on the helm, and Christ will do the steering. It is like the brakes on the train--the brakeman only touches the lever and sets the current in motion; the engineer does not have to make the train go, he has only to turn the throttle. You and I do not need to fight our battles. We have only to give the watchword, and the powers of heaven follow it up if it is in the name of Jesus. So we may ever abide in fellowship and victory moment by moment, until at last He becomes the element of our very life.
A friend asked the question the other day, "How can I make God real?" God is not real to many people. He does not seem so real to that man as his difficult task; He does not seem so real to that woman as her work and her trials; He does not seem so real to that sufferer as his sickness. How shall we make Him real? The best way I know is to take Him into the things that are real. That headache is real. Take Him into it, and He will be as real as the headache, and a good deal more, for He will be there when the headache is gone. That trial is real; it has burned itself into your life; God will be more so. That washing and ironing are real; take God into your home, and He will be as real. That is what makes Him real to link Him with your life.
