Ohio Politics
New poll shows mixed bag for Ohio Gov. John Kasich
By Henry J. Gomez, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The latest poll by Quinnipiac University has good news and bad for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
The Republican scored his strongest job-approval rating yet among registered voters. But a plurality said he does not deserve the second term he intends to seek in 2014.
Ohioans approve of Kasich's performance by a margin of 42 percent to 35 percent,
according to the survey of 1,165 registered voters
. By nearly the same margin -- 43 percent to 36 percent -- they do not support his re-election campaign.
"Things are looking better for Gov. John Kasich," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "But it is not all blue skies as Gov. Kasich enters the last half of his term. His job approval rating is positive for the first time among registered voters, although he started getting positive scores in Quinnipiac University surveys of likely voters during the presidential race."
Surveys of likely voters conducted in the final months of this year's presidential race showed even stronger numbers for Kasich. In late October, for example, the governor scored
a 49 percent approval rating
from Quinnipiac.
But this new poll shows support for a primary challenge against Kasich, even among Republicans. Overall 44 percent would like to see another Republican run against the incumbent. Fewer than half of GOP voters -- 45 percent -- believe Kasich should have a clear field; 41 percent would like to see competition during the primary.
More respondents like Kasich than dislike him, regardless of his policies -- 43 percent to 19 percent. But a plurality also dislike his policies -- 43 percent to 38 percent.
The economy -- and Ohioans' increasing optimism that it is improving -- seems to be helping Kasich. Forty-two percent said the economy is getting better, compared with 38 percent who said it's about the same and 19 percent who said it's getting worse.
Voters were asked how much credit Kasich and President Barack Obama, a Democrat, each deserved for the state's rising fortunes. With regard to the highest level of credit, 31 said Obama deserves "a lot," 23 percent said Kasich does.
While these numbers might point toward a huge opportunity for Democrats, remember the election is nearly two years away. Former Gov. Ted Strickland, who lost a close race with Kasich in 2010, has the best numbers of any potential challenger.
Quinnipiac also included the three other most-talked-about Democratic possibilities in its survey: former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Niles and Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald. Each of these three faces huge name-recognition challenges at this early stage, according to the poll.
Strickland is by far the best known of the field, scoring a 41 percent favorable rating, but 29 percent of respondents said they haven't heard enough about him.
Cordray, who runs the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, scored a 19 percent-11 percent favorable-unfavorable rating; 70 percent haven't heard enough.
who recently had a public intoxication charge dismissed
, has a 15-10 favorable-unfavorable rating, with 74 percent saying they haven't heard enough.
Fitzgerald,
who has acknowledged an interest in the race
, is the least known of the bunch, garnering a 10-5 split, with 84 percent not knowing enough about him.
As far as presidential politics, the recently re-elected Obama,
who carried Ohio by 3 percentage points last month
, scored a 54 percent job-approval rating.
The poll, conducted Dec. 4-9 on landlines and cell phones, has a margin of error of 2.9 percent.

Adult Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) were exposed to acute (approximately 20 min) hypercarbia while we monitored arterial blood pressure, systemic vascular resistance (R(S)), cardiac output (vdot (b)) and frequency (fh) as well as ventilatory amplitude (V(AMP)) and frequency (f(V)). Separate series of experiments were conducted on control, atropinized (100 nmol kg(−)(1)) and branchially denervated fish to investigate putative CO(2)-chemoreceptive sites on the gills and their link to the autonomic nervous system and cardiorespiratory reflexes.In untreated fish, moderate hypercarbia (water CO(2)partial pressure; Pw(CO2)=6.4+/−0.1 mmHg) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) elicited significant increases in V(AMP) (of approximately 92 %) and f(V) (of approximately 18 %) as well as decreases in fh (of approximately 64 %), V.(b) (approximately 29 %) and arterial blood pressure (of approximately 11 %); R(S) did not change significantly.Denervation of the branchial branches of cranial nerves IX and X to the pseudobranch and each gill arch eliminated all cardiorespiratory responses to hypercarbia. Prior administration of the muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine also abolished the hypercarbia-induced ventilatory responses and virtually eliminated all CO(2)-elicited cardiovascular adjustments. Although the atropinized dogfish displayed a hypercarbic bradycardia, the magnitude of the response was significantly attenuated (36+/−6 % decrease in fh in controls versus 9+/−2 % decrease in atropinized fish; means +/− s.e.m.).Thus, the results of the present study reveal the presence of gill CO(2) chemoreceptors in dogfish that are linked to numerous cardiorespiratory reflexes. In addition, because all cardiorespiratory responses to hypercarbia were abolished or attenuated by atropine, the CO(2) chemoreception process and/or one or more downstream elements probably involve cholinergic (muscarinic) neurotransmission.

John Hobbs sings Opera Classic
Posted on June 16, 2019 Updated on June 10, 2019
Conductor sings in his own concert
John Hobbs
John Hobbs has been conducting South Devon Choir since 2007 and during that time the choir hears his rich baritone voice on a very regular basis. There is nothing like hearing a difficult piece of music sung correctly for cementing it into the brain.
At this concert our audience will have the opportunity to hear John's wonderful voice as he sings a tenor and baritone duet with Arthur Swan. You can look forward to hearing the wonderful Au Fond du Temple Saint from The Pearl Fishers by Bizet.
John Hobbs has enjoyed a wide and varied singing career but most recently he has sung the role of Germont in Verdi's La Traviata, in 2017, with both Cheryl Brendish and Arthur Swan; and Falstaff in Nicolai's Merry Wives of Windsor, in 2018, with Arthur. Both performances were with the Duchy Opera Company.
John is understudying the roles of Macbeth and Banquo in the same Company's current production of Verdi's Macbeth. On Palm Sunday 2019, he sang the Bass arias and supporting characters (Judas, Peter, High Priest and Pilate) in the Plymouth Philharmonic Choir's performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion.
Future performances include an operatic recital, with Arthur, for the Friends of Duchy Opera, in Newquay; and an open-air programme of operatic scenes, with Cheryl and her new company, Intimate Opera, at Trevince; both in June; and also the bass solos in Mozart's Requiem, in Buckfast Abbey, in September. All this in addition to being Musical Director of the Bude Choral Society, North Devon Choral Society and the South Devon Choir.
Tickets for the concert are available online, from choir members and on the door, priced at £12 (Students 19 and under are free of charge). The concert takes place on Saturday 6 July 2019, doors open at 7.00pm and the concert starts at 7.30pm.

Opera Classics – Arthur Swan
International Tenor sings Opera Classics
Arthur Swan
South African tenor Arthur Swan joins South Devon Choir once again for their summer concert on Saturday 6 July at Central Church, Tor Hill Road, Torquay.
You can expect to hear some real operatic treats including Lensky's aria from Eugene Onedin by Tchaikovsky, Au Fond du Temple Saint, from The Pearl Fishers by Bizet, the famous tenor and baritone duet, where Arthur is joined by John Hobbs; and partnering soprano Cheryl Brendish, Brindisi from La Traviata by Verdi.
Arthur Swan studied opera at the South African College of Music and was a member of Cape Town Opera's Young Artists' Programme. After completing his undergraduate studies in 2004, he performed in theatres throughout Southern Africa before moving to London in 2008.
Arthur's lyric tenor is in demand on both the concert and opera stage, in repertoire ranging from the baroque to late romantic, thanks to what critics have described as a "nobility" and "warmth" of tone, as well as his natural vocal flexibility and versatility.
His opera repertoire includes works by Mozart (Ferrando in Cosi fan tutte, Tamino in Die Zauberflöte, and Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni), Rossini (Almaviva in The Barber of Seville, Ramiro in La Cenerentola, and Osiride in Mosé in Egitto), Donizetti (Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, and Ernesto in Don Pasquale), Janáček (Steva in Jenůfa), Bizet (Don José in Carmen) and Puccini (Prunier in La Rondine, Rodolfo in La Bohème, and Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly). Arthur also recently made his first foray into operetta, performing the roles of Alfred in Die Fledermaus (J. Strauss II) and Marco in The Gondoliers (Gilbert and Sullivan) for North West Opera in Ireland.
In addition to his regular performances with regional and touring opera companies in the United Kingdom, Arthur's association with Cape Town Opera has continued, with engagements including Hoffmann (Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann) and, more recently, the principal part of Whiteman in extended tours to the UK, Dubai and Hong Kong of The Mandela Trilogy, a musical tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela.
Tickets for the concert are available online as well as from choir members or on the door. Doors open at 7pm on Saturday 6 July and the concert starts at 7.30pm. #sdcopera

Glorious Russian Choral Music
A Talk by Simon Dunbavand
Simon Dunbavand
#torquay #music #Russia # choral – South Devon Choir are adding to their social calendar this spring with a talk by lecturer and musician, Simon Dunbavand. He has entitled the talk "Glorious Russian Choral Music" and it promises to be gloriously illustrated with music and a fascinating account by Simon which you can be sure will include some interesting personal anecdotes.
Simon describes himself as an organist, pianist, conductor, choral animateur, lecturer, researcher, writer, composer, teacher, and traveller. Not only that, Simon is also a Cambridge graduate and was an Organ Scholar of Peterhouse, now resident in Torquay he is also organist at Paignton Parish Church and is accompanist to South Devon Choir among his many other roles.
One of Simon's passions is Russian Choral music and he has directed performances of Russian Orthodox music, which he researches and collects in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kiev.
Simon is also a frequent lecturer on classical music themed-cruises, as well as inspiring singers in the Choirs-at-Sea programme. Travel is his greatest pleasure, and when combined with music, produces a thrilling anthropological and ethnographical cocktail, from the ghats of Varanasi, to the monasteries of Luang Prabang in Laos. Simon is proud to have played the ceremonial gong at a Hindu watermelon ritual on Moheshkhali Island in Bangladesh, and trekked to the ancient Buddhist Monasteries of Inle Lake, Burma, across the mountains of the forbidden Shan State to the two-thousand stupas of Kakku with their bells tinkling in the breeze. Simon has visited the Mursi tribe of the Lower Omo Valley in Ethiopia and attended the chanting of the St George's Day rites in the rock-hewn orthodox churches of the holy city of Lalibella. Recently he took the infamous Tazara train from Dar es Salaam to Zambia, and continued onwards into Zimbabwe and South Africa. In 2015 he has particularly enjoyed visiting the Corcovado district of Costa Rica, Bocas del Toro in Panama, and travelling by train across Uzbekistan.

Embedding a distinctive culture through consistent leadership at a global bank
An organizational redesign led the bank to create a global leadership curriculum, to drive cultural change and achieve consistent leadership practice in all countries
101 worldwide leadership training courses have been consolidated into just seven core topics
We are running five key programs, delivering over 12,000 delegate days in 37 global locations in the first year
Leaders are being equipped with a common set of skills, capabilities and behaviors enabling them to support the new values and to embed a distinctive culture
Spirit Energy - leadership resilience
Having grown through acquisitions and repeated reorganizations, this global bank had evolved to become a diversified and siloed organization. With a lack of clearly articulated standards and values to guide everyday behavior, it had developed an 'accidental' culture, not one that had been deliberately defined.
To address this, the bank has undertaken a fundamental global transformation of every aspect of its business. It has introduced new goals and new cultural values for its 140,000 employees and redesigned its rewards, control processes and cost management across its 75 business units.
Aware of the vital role that leadership plays in driving culture and organizational performance, the bank decided to create a global leadership curriculum - a common set of programs that will be delivered to achieve consistent leadership practice in all countries and divisions. Previously, the bank had provided 101 different leadership training courses worldwide.
The new leadership curriculum comprises seven core topics, each with associated programs covering the key leadership skills and capabilities needed across the organization.
At Hemsley Fraser, we are delivering five of these key programs in 37 global locations. Our programs cover issues such as leading and managing a high performing team, decision making, prioritizing, delegating, judgement, resilience, self insight and emotional intelligence. The aim is to help the bank's leaders to take a more holistic view of the impact of their decisions and to enable them to create a team environment that can support and sustain high performance.
The programs are being delivered through a mix of one-to-one support, classroom training, virtual instructor-led training, action learning and coaching. Pilots for each program were initially undertaken in Egypt, France, India, South Africa, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK and the United States.
In the first year, we're delivering 335 programs, which equates to over 12,000 delegate days. Throughout the delivery, our global facilitators, project managers and client services co-ordinators will liaise closely to maintain a consistent approach and to share stories of best practice across the different regions.
For the bank, this development is one the main components of their people agenda. Equipping their leaders with the critical skills, capabilities and behaviors required to operate more effectively will create a common sense of purpose, support the new values and drive a more distinctive culture. In practical terms, it will also help leaders to answer the question: 'What can I do every day to make a difference?'

Is there a certain saint that I could learn more about, and ask for their intercession regularly?
Just as I ask the communion of saints to pray for me, do I also, in turn, pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ — the ones who are still living, and the faithful departed?

"Vertical Church isn't a band. It isn't the name of a church. It is an idea. The idea that worshiping Jesus Christ is best done not when we just sing about Him or what He has done or what He will do in the future. The highest and best worship is modeled by what the angels do: sing to God about God. Vertical.
I was excited to get my hands on this one for The Worship Community. The first project was solid and this collective of worship leaders and songwriters has delivered some great music for worshiping churches everywhere.
One of my favorite parts of this "ministry" is the "multi-faced" approach. There's not just one leader, there's a family of leaders presenting their offerings in music and song.
The Rock Won't Move features a guitar driven intro and chorus to kick the song off. Once the groove kicks in, it's a pretty mellow feel, but still with a nice rhythmic movement to it. It continues to build through the second verse and chorus all the way to a big "Whoah" bridge and then into a nice lyrical reworking of On Christ The Solid Rock I Stand. It eventually builds to a full rocked out chorus. And a reprise of the "Whoahs" and "The Rock of my salvation" lines. This arrangement would be well suited to younger congregations that like longer and building songs…but the song itself could be arranged to complement any environment.
Meredith Andrews leads out on Worthy Worthy and Strong God. I've seen Meredith a few times live and I was always inspired by her humility and sweet spirit. These are two great songs that paint a picture of our big and wonderful God. Recommended for worship environments of all flavor. Worthy Worthy is more of a medium tempo ballad arranged in a way that builds to soaring choruses and leaves a lot of space for "free worship." It's a 7 minute plus arrangement that can be trimmed down if needed.
Strong God happens a little later on the album but I'll hit it now since Meredith also leads out on it. It's a beautiful ballad that also builds to a big heartfelt bridge and chorus. With bands like hillsong united, Bethel, and Jesus Culture leading the way with more live albums that include longer arrangements, it's a very welcome trend to move away from "radio" tracks for worship songs. Four minutes sometimes isn't enough for a song to develop and these ballads sometimes need a little more time to grow and swell into soaring singalongs, which for me as a worship leader, is one of my goals…to get folks singing along, many voices raised as one in worship!
"The Lord our God is mighty in battle. We are not afraid. His hand upholds us, through our trials. Our God is strong to save!" These lyrics drive the chorus of Strong to Save. This is a great high-energy (yet high-mid tempo) song that brings a great truth and will work well in places who want to balance out the "intimate" close encounter worship songs with more of the "powerful" attributes of God. I love it! Biblically we see a God who loves and FIGHTS for those He loves.
Call On Your Name is a mellow song with a strong groove that continues the theme of God being our salvation when we "need it most." The melody is singable, and catchy and will most likely be one that folks find themselves humming along with and singing later in the day.
Only Jesus Can talks about the life-giving power that Jesus saves, redeems, and recreates us with. The chorus is almost shout-chant like, and folks will be singing along. The lyrics are strong and solid on this one. Recommended for environments of all flavors.
The album ends with He Has Won – a song that feels a little more like some of the music coming out of the hillsong and Jesus Culture communities. If you like your worship sets to have a solid groove and driving guitars, this is a great song (and arrangement). That being said, the song could be arranged for a smaller, more traditional instrumentation as well.
This is yet another solid project from Vertical Church Band. Because of the nature of their community their writing and crafting many new songs. I've always tried to live by the "consistent practice makes you better at something" life guideline, and the fact that the VCB has written more than one hundred songs this past year means that they are offering the best of their best.
This is a great project and The Worship Community recommends it!

Rane-led TCP department to go against the illegally converted agri-lands at Parra, Nagoa, Arpora, Candolim and Calangute areas
Panaji: Town and Country Planning department will revert back to its original state around 2,20,000 square metres of the tenanted agricultural land which has been converted for non-agricultural purpose in Parra, Nagoa, Arpora, Candolim and Calangute areas.
As per the report published in English Daily The Navhind Times, TCP Minister Vishwajit Rane has said that he has issued directions to the authorities to examine all the outline development plans looking into the conversion of agricultural tenanted lands that have taken place in the past.
He said that these areas are largely in the Parra, Nagoa, Candolim and Calangute villages. He said that the tenanted areas that have been converted will be reverted to the original status. "A probe will be initiated on such savages violating the code," he added.
As per the news report, Rane also targeted the Congress party on the land conversion issue without taking the name of the leader of the Opposition Michael Lobo, who represents the Calangute constituency. "It seems like the INC Goa party has become a 30% ownership party," he said.
Rane stated that these are the same people who have destroyed Goa and claim to care about its people. "Finally, they are filling their own pockets at the expense of destroying Goa for the sole purpose of increasing their wealth," he charged.
Moreover, the Minister informed that a committee is going through everything step by step. "I can assure you that action will be taken. The agencies will further investigate it to its logical end and the culprits will be exposed. It is our responsibility as well as the responsibility of the BJP government to protect the state of Goa from such people, who have become ruthless in land dealings and have destroyed the state," Rane said. "To preserve the state, we, as responsible citizens, must right the wrongs," he added.

ELIZABETH and Frank Fekonia live on a thigh-tremblingly steep block on Black Mountain near Cooroy on the Sunshine Coast.
After a lifetime of labour, Frank's lost his kick. He's still got his raucous, squealing laugh, but he's too sick to work. Elizabeth keeps their challenging block going, on two parts will, two parts faith and one part strong arms.
Each morning she does her rounds, down and up the hill, calling out to her cows and goats as she goes. They call back, and the singsong echoes around Black Mountain. She waters the veggie patch, milks the goats, checks the chooks, waters the pigs, looks in on the tropical vegetable food forest, and collects a bucket of pollard to keep Lydia the cow happy while she milks her.
Elizabeth is mad for ferment food. Every day she mentions in passing yet another product she makes or ferments herself. Yesterday it was vinegar; the day before, a kind of fermented tea called Kombucha. She makes her own cheese, yoghurt, kefir, sourdough bread, sauerkraut, butter, ghee, soy sauce, miso, tempeh, lemon wine and soap. I'm sure there's more. She teaches short courses in nearly all the above, as well as her TAFE classes in organic gardening.
Before I left Melbourne I made a mouldy attempt at sauerkraut – much to my housemates' disgust. Here I did it better, and it turns out to be very simple.
I cut up two cabbages finely, added half a tablespoon or so of salt and crushed the cabbage in my fists until my fists were sore and there was a puddle of cabbage-water in the bowl. Then I packed it into a huge jar, pressed it all down and put a couple of the outer leaves on top to keep the cabbage submerged in its juice. We left it for days to ferment – usually about five days, depending on the season and how tangy you want it – then drained the juice and stored the sauerkraut in the fridge.
Elizabeth, Lydia and the new milking machine.
Thanks Pete, yep there are lots of fascinating people out there and I've had the good fortune to find some of them. I hope my luck holds out!
English people living on acreage blocks zoned rural or rural residential, not having any animals while at the same time being obsessed with mowing their large laws ad nausum and in the process pumping as much CO2 in the air as possible… …that about describes Cooroy and Black Mountain!
We need more people like Elizabeth and Frank!
The new milking machine is in terrible condition. That cow needs to be about 2-3 fat scores higher to be healthily producing milk – in this photo she is only a few kilos away from an RSPCA situation. Hope she is getting fed well at the new home.


Love isn't just the feeling we get when we are intimate with others, love is a choice. Love is a principle. Love is a daily decision to see others the way that our Father in Heaven does. To look at every person like a child of God. Like a brother and sister instead of an object, a random entity.
We are one body, we are not meant to be separate. A finger separate from the body cannot survive. Likewise the body without the heart can't survive.
We need each other. We cannot function apart. If there is anything I can encourage you to do today, it's to choose love.

LL Cool J Sues Concert Promotion Company Over 'Rock the Bells'
Nov 27, 2018 at 14:32 pm UTC / Last Updated at Jun 10, 2019 at 22:00 pm UTC By TheBlast Staff
LL Cool J is accusing the promoters of the hip-hop festival Rock The Bells of ripping him off, and he is demanding a judge stop them down from using his famous song title.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the legendary rap star is suing the promoter Guerilla Union, Inc.
LL Cool J says the concert promoter and its founder, Chang Weisberg, filed to trademark "Rock the Bells" back in 2004. LL released a song called "Rock the Bells" in 1985 and launched a SiriusXM hip-hop channel named Rock The Bells Radio earlier this year.
He claims Guerilla filed for the trademark without his permission to use for a hip-hop music festival, which launched in 2004 and ran through 2013.
The rapper says he petitioned the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to cancel all of Guerilla Union's trademarks, which the board granted last year.
Despite the board's decision, he says the concert promoter continues to try and trademark the name for various purposes.
LL Cool J is demanding a judge grant an injunction prohibiting the promoter from using the mark and for unspecified damages.

I have been given the opportuniy to study abroad with the Semester at Sea program. This means that I will be spending my fall semester travelling the world on the MV World Odyssey, visiting eleven different countries, all while earning course credit. This voyage will give me an international perspective of business and world cultures. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and traveling is a passion of mine. I plan to obtain a job with an international business that will allow me to travel. This voyage is important to me, not only because of the travel and the cultures I will learn about, but also having the chance to break away and begin to understand who I am as a person.
I leave ten weeks from today for my voyage! I am so excited for this opportunity and it feels so surreal. That being said, there has been so much work that I have had to put in, in order to make this a reality. With all my school switches and changes in my major, I really had to focus on what I was doing. I took 18 credits this past spring semester, kept up with a part-time job, and was an active member and choreographer in a dance club on campus. With all of this, I was able to not only make the Dean's List, but the Ivy College of Business Dean's List as well! I am taking classes this summer to keep me up to speed and graduate on time so that I can have this amazing study abroad opportunity. Nothing comes free and I'm paying for it in more ways than one. I'm putting in the work now, so that I can enjoy life later.
This morning I registered for my field programs. In Ghana I will be doing the homestay and school engagement that I had mentioned before. When we get to South Africa, I will spend my first day exploring Cape Town and visiting historical buildings and landmarks, to end the day with a cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain. I will end my South Africa visit with the Happy Feet Youth Project. They provide alternatives to gangs and drugs for the youth and they dance a little too. :) Next I will venture to India to visit the Taj Mahal and then relax with an Indian yoga session. In Vietnam I will explore the tunnels used by their soldiers during war. Lastly, when we get to Hawaii, I am taking part in an ocean clean up day with Sustainable Coastlines. I will also be doing some traveling with the people I meet on the ship in other countries as well. And yes, I will still be taking classes. More information to come!
I will make a video shoutout for you on a social media platform of your choosing.
I will bring you a post card from the country of your choice.

'ATM' Trailer: Two Guys, a Girl and a Killer
Posted on Friday, January 6th, 2012 by Russ Fischer
Chris Sparling wrote the 'man in a coffin' thriller Buried, and he followed that script up with another tightly confined thriller, ATM. Sparling's script was directed by first-timer David Brooks, and the resulting thriller finds three people (Brian Geraghty, Alice Eve and Josh Peck) trapped inside an ATM in the middle of a parking lot thanks to the menacing presence of a murderous figure just outside.
The first trailer has just been released, and while it doesn't look like anything truly outstanding, ATM does look like the sort of movie I'd watch just to see where the story goes. Check it out below. Read More »

Posted on Friday, November 5th, 2010 by Russ Fischer
Got to hand it to Collider: they're scouring the American Film Market scarfing up info on a ton of new films being represented there this week. The latest two are Abducted, which is the first post-Twilight film for Taylor Lautner, and ATM, which is based on a script hatched by Chris Sparling, aka the screenwriter on Buried.
Synopsis for each and an image for ATM are after the break. Read More »
Casting Bits: Ray Liotta Joins David Wain's 'Wanderlust'; Alice Eve Replaces Margarita Levieva in 'ATM'
Posted on Friday, October 8th, 2010 by Adam Quigley
Wanderlust, the Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston comedy about a married couple who try to escape modern society and end up in a hippie commune, is really starting to come together. Much of the cast has already been set—first Justin Theroux (Mulholland Dr.) joined, then Six Feet Under's Lauren Ambrose hopped on board, and most recently Alan Alda and Malin Akerman were thrown into the mix—and now the always enjoyable Ray Liotta has been added to round out the group. No word on what the part entails, but I'm betting on him playing a stern, ill-tempered police officer who complicates things for our protagonists. Here's hoping he proves me wrong by getting cast against type this time around.
Judd Apatow is producing the film, along with Paul Rudd, David Wain and Ken Marino, the three of whom teamed up before on Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models. Wain is directing from a script he co-wrote with Marino. This pairing sold me from day one, and the cast certainly doesn't hurt. [The Hollywood Reporter]
After the break, the single-location thriller ATM gets a casting change. Read More »
Brian Geraghty, Josh Peck and Margarita Levieva Cast in ATM
Posted on Monday, August 2nd, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker), Josh Peck (The Wackness) and Margarita Levieva (Adventureland) have signed on to star in David Brooks' ATM. THR is reporting that production is gearing up for a late-September start in Winnipeg, Manitoba. You might remember this project as it is the next screenplay from Black List scribe Chris Sparling who made a name for himself with the one-man, one-location script Buried, which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival to huge buzz (read my review) resulted in a bidding war which ended with Lionsgate spending millions to distribute the film.
The official logline is an action film which "centers on three co-workers who — on a routine stop at an ATM — unexpectedly end up in a desperate fight for their lives." The story follows three co-workers driving home together from a employee Christmas party in the city. They decide to grab some late night pizza, for which they must stop at the ATM, to get some cash. Apparently, this is where the fun starts — about 15 or 20 minutes into the story. ATM exchanges the cramped 7 foot by 3 foot wooden coffin seen in Buried for a 15 square foot indoor ATM shack. The 24-hour ATM is located in a remote area of the barren supermarket parking lot, in a not-so-great neighborhood. The rest of the story is set primarily in the ATM vestibule, and never leaves the supermarket parking lot. More details after the jump.
Chris Sparling's ATM Details Revealed
Screenwriter Chris Sparling made a name for himself with the one-man, one-location script Buried, which landed on the Black List, an industry insider list of the best unproduced screenplays of the year, and premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Huge buzz (read my review) resulted in a bidding war which ended with Lionsgate spending millions to distribute the film. A couple weeks ago it was reported that screenwriter Chris Sparling second feature screenplay ATM is being fast tracked into production, with producer Peter Safran.
At the time, not much was known about the movie's premise, with the Hollywood trades given the sole logline of an action film which "centers on three co-workers who — on a routine stop at an ATM — unexpectedly end up in a desperate fight for their lives." A /Film tipster named Hawkeye has more details on Sparling's second feature. What is it about? Does the story take place entirely at an ATM machine? Details after the jump.

Die Vorstädte der ostthüringischen Skat- und Residenzstadt Altenburg ordnen sich ringförmig um die Altstadt an und stellen die Erweiterung der Wohnbebauung dieser dar. Die Vorstädte stellen historisch gewachsene Siedlungen auf der Gemarkung Altenburgs dar, die in die Agglomeration der Stadt übergehenden eingemeindeten Dörfer und planmäßig errichtete Stadtteile zählen nicht dazu.

Insgesamt besitzt die Stadt 19 Vorstädte, die im Laufe der Geschichte entstanden. Elf davon existierten bereits im Mittelalter, die restlichen stammen aus der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts und dem 20. Jahrhundert.

Geschichte

Mittelalterliche Vorstädte

Die erste Altenburger Vorstadt wird zeitgleich mit der späteren Stadt selbst im Jahr 976 erwähnt. Diese sorbische Gründung, Podegrodici, später Ober- und Unterpauritz genannt, war eine Dienstsiedlung der sorbischen Adelsburg auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Residenzschlosses. Podegrodici bedeutet so viel wie 'Leute unter der Burg'. Da das Gebiet verstärkt ab 800 von slawischen Stämmen besiedelt wurde, ist der Vorort wohl älter als Altenburg selbst, welches den Hauptort eines Burgward darstellte. Zu dieser Zeit entstand auch eine Befestigung, wodurch Podegrodici aufgrund der Lage außerhalb dieser zur Vorstadt wurde. Der wesentliche Ausbau als Stadt fand unter Kaiser Friedrich I. Barbarossa statt, der ebenfalls 1165 das Bergerkloster stiftete. Dieses erhielt im 13. Jahrhundert einige Güter zu Pauritz aus dem Besitz der Burggrafen von Altenburg.

Um das Bergerkloster entstand ebenfalls eine Siedlung, die sich zu der Ober- und Untergemeinde Unterm Berg entwickelte. An diese schließt sich die Frauenfelsgemeinde an, direkt an der Stadtmauer an der heutigen Wallstraße befindet sich die Vorstadt Hinter der Mauer. Direkt südlich des Schlosses erstreckt sich Naschhausen, welches 1275 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt und ab 1548 Unterm Schloss genannt wurde. Nordöstlich des Schlosses erstreckt sich die Neue Sorge, an der sich südlich Hinterm Schloss anschließt.

Weitere Vorstädte befinden sich vor den Stadttoren. Vor dem Schmöllnschen Tor im Südwesten der Altstadt befindet sich die Schmöllnsche Vorstadt. Außerhalb der Doppeltoranlage des Johannistores liegt die Johannisvorstadt, auch Vorm Johannistor genannt. An das Teichtor im Südosten der Altstadt schließt sich die Teichvorstadt an.

All diese Vorstädte wurden in der neuen Stadtverfassung vom 1. Juli 1831 während der beginnenden Industrialisierung formal der Stadt unterstellt, also eingemeindet. Sie besaßen eine Einwohnerzahl von 4230 Personen. Der Schritt war notwendig geworden, da die Bevölkerung der Altstadt innerhalb der Stadtmauer immer weiter gewachsen war. Zudem war Altenburg seit 1826 wieder Hauptresidenz des Herzogtums Sachsen-Altenburg. Die Vorstädte gehörten zum herzoglichen  Amt Altenburg, jedoch galt aufgrund ihrer Lage innerhalb der Weichbildgrenze Altenburgs das Stadtrecht.

Später entstandene Vorstädte

Während der Industrialisierung entstanden im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts acht neue Stadtteile. Ausgangspunkt dafür stellte der Bahnanschluss im Jahr 1842 dar. Die Nordvorstadt entwickelte sich seit 1865 an der Lindenau- und Zeitzer Straße, wo hauptsächlich Villen als Wohnort von Beamten entstanden. Im Jahr 1895 wurde das heutige Landratsamt fertiggestellt. Mit dem Bahnhofsneubau 1878 begann 1880 auch der Ausbau des Bahnhofsviertels oder der unteren Stadt. Dort entstanden größtenteils Fabriken und Arbeiterwohnstätten an Ufer-, Kanal-, Fabrik-, Terrassen- und Wettiner Straße. Beide Viertel wuchsen ab 1886 zur Nordvorstadt zusammen, als Garten- (Dr. Wilhelm-Külz-Straße), Nord-, Wilhelm- (Dostojewskistraße) und Hohe Straße (Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße) angelegt wurden. Das gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts errichtete Gefängnis wurde bis 1990 betrieben und wurde 2004 beziehungsweise 2011 abgerissen. An der Ziegelstraße (Franz-Mehring-Straße) entstand 1895 das Elektrizitätswerk, das auch die Straßenbahn betrieb, die im gleichen Jahr den Betrieb aufnahm.

Die Leipziger Straße als Hauptstraße der Oststadt wurde um 1720 angelegt. An deren Anfang entstand 1845 die Herzog-Joseph-Kaserne, die heute von der Polizei und vom Labyrinthehaus, einem Themen- und Kulissenlabyrinth, genutzt wird. Sie war für das 1897 gegründete 8. Thüringer Infanterieregiment allerdings zu klein und so wurde weiter stadtauswärts an der Leipziger Straße die Herzog-Ernst-Kaserne errichtet, die allerdings auf Rasephaser Gemarkung steht. Die erste Querstraße zur Leipziger Straße entstand um 1900 mit der Poschwitzer Straße (Beethovenstraße). Der Poschwitzer Platz (Richard-Wagner-Platz) entstand um 1905, wo 1955 die ersten Neubauwohnungen an Mieter übergeben wurden. An der angrenzenden Brunnenstraße bestand bereits der zwischen 1900 und 1902 errichtete Schlachthof, dessen Hauptgebäude noch stehen, auf dem restlichen Gelände wurde 2010 eine Photovoltaikanlage installiert. Im weiteren Verlauf der Brunnenstraße, sowie in der Mozart-, der heutigen Poschwitzer und Mitschurinstraße (heute Christian-Friedrich-Witt-Straße) entstanden zu DDR-Zeiten Eigenheime. Südlich der Eisenbahnlinie entstand nach 1930 die Falken- oder Vogelsiedlung, eine Gartenstadt mit Einfamilienhäusern.

Ab 1874 entstand mit der Neuen Welt die erste der vier Ostvorstädte, heute auch Forscherviertel genannt. Dieses Arbeiterviertel umfasst die Theresen- (Erich-Mäder-Straße), Bauhof- (Spinozastraße), Adelheid- (Darwinstraße), Ost- (Newtonstraße), Karl- (Rousseaustraße) und Elisenstraße (Albert-Einstein-Straße) und wird von der Münsaer Straße abgegrenzt. Im Mai 2014 wurde das 1712 errichtete ehemalige herzogliche Jagdzeughaus, in dem von 1921 bis 2012 die Altenburger Berufsfeuerwehr untergebracht war, abgerissen und auf dem Gelände ein Supermarkt errichtet. Zwischen Kotteritzer Straße (Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße) und Stiftsgraben entstand um 1910 das sogenannte Gründerzeitviertel, die Bebauung zeichnet sich durch Jugendstil und die Architektur des Historismus aus. Der Stadtteil umfasst die Mauer-, Thümmel-, Hempel-, Meißner-, Körner-, Wieland-, Friesen- und Arndtstraße (Heinrich-Mann-Straße). Bereits damals waren Grünanlagen von Bedeutung, davon zeugt der Friesenplatz, der heute einen Spielplatz darstellt. Um 1920 entstand östlich davon das Dichterviertel mit Schiller-, Goethe-, Lessing- und Kleiststraße im Stil des Bauhauses. Eingeschlossen von Magdalenenstift im Norden, Neuer Welt im Osten, Dichterviertel im Süden und Gründerzeitviertel im Westen entstand zwischen 1958 und 1962 auf der zu DDR-Zeiten sogenannten Erich-Weinert-Höhe die heutige Sperlingsbergsiedlung mit 308 Altneubauwohnungen. Im September 2012 erfolgte der Abriss eines viergeschossigen Wohngebäudes mit 32 Wohnungen direkt an der Münsaer Straße, auf dieser Fläche wurde bis Dezember 2014 eine vier- bis fünfgeschossige seniorengerechte Wohnanlage mit 52 Wohnungen errichtet.

Die ersten Gebäude der Südvorstadt bestanden zwar bereits 1831, allerdings erfolgte der eigentliche Ausbau ungefähr ab der Jahrhundertwende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert. Sie erstreckt sich zwischen Schmöllnscher Landstraße im Westen und Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße im Osten. Die Gründerzeitbebauung erstreckt sich hauptsächlich an Bach- (August-Bebel-Straße), Paditzer, Zwickauer und Brauhausstraße, die von der Schmöllnschen Landstraße zur 1871 gegründeten Kommunbrauerei führte. Wesentliche Erweiterungen erhielt die Südvorstadt in den 1920er- und 1930er-Jahren. Die Brauhausstraße und die Talstraße erhielten neue Gebäude, ebenso wurden die daran angrenzenden Straßen Spinnbahn und Braugartenweg angelegt. Ebenfalls entstand an der Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße die Südstraße, wo Mehrfamilienhäuser im Bauhausstil entstanden. Nach 1930 wurde die Südstraße zur Paditzer Straße um Einfamilienhäuser erweitert. Die Südvorstadt ist die grüne Lunge der Stadt, hier befindet sich der Große Teich mit dem Inselzoo, dem Frei- und Hallenbad und dem 1907 aufgeforsteten Herzog-Ernst- beziehungsweise Stadtwald, in dem sich die 1957 eingeweihte Skatbankarena befindet.

Die Weststadt befindet sich linksseitig von Schmöllnscher Landstraße, Puschkinstraße, Am Steinweg und Zeitzer Straße. Hauptverkehrsstraße ist die Geraer Straße. Den Ursprung der Weststadt bildet allerdings der Steinweg, der bereits 1459 gepflastert wurde und zum Hospital zum heiligen Geist führt. An dieses schließt sich der Gottesacker an. Die heutigen Gebäude entstanden 1771 und 1863/64, das sogenannte Neue Hospital entstand 1843 bis 1846. Die Kirche zum Heiligen Geist wurde 1860 abgebrochen, die heute noch stehende Gottesackerkirche entstand zwischen 1639 und 1650. Der Friedhof wurde 1529 angelegt. Der Platz am Steinweg wurde zu DDR-Zeiten umgestaltet, so entstanden 1968 und 1983 Neubauten sowie 1978 eine Kaufhalle. Im Jahr 1973 wurde eine Verbindungsstraße (Am Steinweg) zwischen Puschkinstraße und Zeitzer Straße angelegt, wobei einige Gebäude weichen mussten. Westlich der Schmöllnschen Vorstadt liegt der Anger auf dem das Schützenhaus stand, daran anschließend befand sich ein Turnplatz mit Turnhalle. Im Jahr 1948 siedelte sich auf dem Anger die Altenburger Destillerie- und Liquerfabrik an. An den Querstraßen zwischen Geraer Straße und Mittelstraße entstand die Bebauung um 1900. Zwischen 1885 und 1887 entstand das Reichenbach-Hospital an der Geraer Straße, daneben das zwischen 1899 und 1902 errichtete Friedrichgymnasium. Lossener und Steinwitzer Straße wurden ebenfalls bereits um 1900 angelegt, hauptsächlich aber zu DDR-Zeiten mit Einfamilienhäusern bebaut. Zwischen 1920 und 1930 entstanden die ersten Genossenschaftshäuser Altenburgs an der Stern- und Gabelsbergerstraße. Daran schließt sich das 1992/93 errichtete Osterlandcenter an. Nach 1930 entstanden die Einfamilienhäuser an Blumenstraße und Grüntaler Weg. Die einzige Eigenheimsiedlung Altenburgs, die nach der Wiedervereinigung ab 1993 entstand ist die Goldene Glucke an der Schmöllnschen Landstraße.

Weitere Stadtteile
Altenburg breitete sich hauptsächlich nach Norden aus, so verschmolzen die Agglomerationen der Stadt mit denen der Dörfer Kauerndorf, Rasephas und Zschernitzsch. Während letzteres seinen dörflichen Charakter behielt entwickelte sich Kauerndorf zu einer regelrechten Arbeitersiedlung, deren Bewohner in den nahen Fabriken der Nordvorstadt beschäftigt waren. Rasephas behielt seinen dörflichen Charakter teilweise, dennoch entstand zwischen 1922 und 1926 die Eisenbahnersiedlung als größte Gartenstadt Thüringens. Die Bewohner arbeiteten in den Stellwerken des Bahnhofes. Zwischen diesen drei Stadtteilen und der Nordvorstadt entstand zwischen 1958 und 1964 die Lerchenbergsiedlung und ab 1975 Altenburg-Nord. Im Osten und Westen wurden die Stadtteile Poschwitz und Drescha eingegliedert, die ihren dörflichen Charakter weitestgehend behielten. Nach Süden erfolgte zwischen 1971 und 1975 der Bau des Stadtteiles Altenburg-Südost.

As the common name suggests, the Mobile Logperch is found in the Mobile Basin in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee. They live over gravel substrate in riffles and runs of creeks to large rivers. As with other members of the logperch group, Mobile Logperches have a pointed snout that they use to flip over rocks for feeding.


Are you one of the millions of Americans that would rather endure the agony of a toothache than step foot in a dentist's office? Does just the thought of having your teeth cleaned make your heart flutter and body tense with fear? If you are resistant to bettering your oral health or improving your smile due to dental phobia, sedation dentistry is the answer. It can make the entire process more comfortable so that you can have a smile that you can be proud of.
Sedation dentistry is the use of medication to help you relax during the dental procedure. You'll generally be awake with the exception of those times where general anesthesia is used.
Sedation dentistry is used to provide an anxiety-free and relaxing experience for people receiving dental treatment. It enables those too afraid to go to the dentist to receive the dental care they need while avoiding the common apprehension known as dental phobia. 30% of the U.S. population avoids the dentist due to fear, and this all-too-common phobia prevents them from receiving necessary dental care, which can compromise the health and functionality of their mouth and smile.
In the Franklin Township area, Clarity Dentistry wants to make your visit as peaceful and carefree as possible. That is why we offer sedation dentistry, to ease the dental fears of our patients.
At Clarity Dentistry, you will find a dentist who is highly trained and experienced to provide the safest and most comfortable dental care that is specifically tailored for you. Our team knows that for some patients visiting the dentist can be rather intimidating or even scary and that is why we offer sedation dentistry, to enable you to get the treatment that you require comfortably and without anxiety.

Femestella — The End of 'BoJack Horseman' Could Mean the End of Asexual Representation on Mainstream TV

After 6 wonderful seasons, BoJack Horseman is sadly coming to an end.
Despite receiving critical and popular acclaim, Netflix decided to pull the plug on one of the best adult animated series of our generation. The show has been hailed for its discussion of tough issues, such as mental illness, sexual assault, drug addiction, privilege, and more.
But as the series draws to a close, we're in danger of losing one of the only shows with asexual representation.

Given how great the ace representation was on Bojack Horseman, how strongly it was featured, and how positively it was received, I'd really like to think that the show is simply the start of a brigher future for asexuality on TV.

I have to say I'm glad BoJack ended.
It's good to have a proper end; move on to better things, instead of milking a series to the point it's not to the standards it was in earlier seasons.
I hope that some day asexuality is represented in the media, but seeing that we are a minority, and most writers have little experience with asexuality, it's best to put it on the shelf for a while. I'd rather have no representation than poor representation rooted in stereotypes. The treatment of Aspergers and ASD conditions comes to mind. It's also likely writers will just create a "straight" character that they slap the "asexual label" onto, much like gay characters. Nothing changes except the orientation, and no struggles that character deals with related to their orientation comes up.
I actually think asexuality is an easy way for writers to build a fresh character purely on their platonic relationships that most people can relate to, unfortunately, it's also a lazy cop out to throw someone into a relationship and create love triangles to engage audiences instead of proper storytelling these days. Most writing has gone down the toilet, and I haven't properly watched TV since 2011. I maybe occasionally watch a new episode of Steven Universe, or a series like BoJack.
It might be too much work, and too experimental for Hollywood cash grabbers that have a boring formula they always follow that's guaranteed to meet a minimum audience. It would require going back to the drawing board and using the nogin like old-school television that would either spike charts or flop. I'm okay with missed representation if the effort felt genuine and there was enough character development to go off of, but that's not what writers do. They take every poor understanding and slap it on to a character in a pre-existing framework/script for a show, just to get woke points, and asexuality just isn't woke right now.

Slightly off-topic, as it's not about BoHo, but it is about ace representation in TV, because it sure doesn't have to be the end.
The ace community needs to start actively calling out Shonda Rhimes for not representing asexuality on Grey's Anatomy (granted, this current season is nowhere near over, miracles could happen, but if they don't...) It's one of the longest and the most watched television shows, and claims to be the wokest by covering pretty much everything... lesbian/gay, bi, transgender, nonbinary, interracial/interethnic relationships, religious/non-religious mixed relationships, feminist issues, immigration issues, you name it. They have literally done everything for one character or another, whether main cast or guest star, except asexuality.
And I honestly believe the reason Rhimes won't touch it because she is feminist, and has made quite clear through GA that women (especially black women) have full control over their bodies and their sexuality and can express it as vocally and visually as they want to, and no one can tell them that's wrong or dirty, and in the past they've been forced to hide it, or tone it down because people find it intimidating. I think the writers think introducing asexuality will somehow undermine this, which... no, doesn't make sense. If anything, I could see it having a hugely positive impact on women and people of color, who have unfairly had their sexualities defined by white perceptions. As a society we went from "black/female sexuality is wild and unpredictable and should be controlled" to "women and people of color can/should be able to express their sexuality." But now it's just pressure that goes the other way... now the standard is that women of color have to be sexually active and expressive. Introducing an asexual character could go a long way to bring asexuals of color out of the shadows and into the conversation (and I already know AVEN skews disproportionately white).
IMHO I actually think such a character should be black and male. It would be a huge challenge to long-held white perceptions of black male sexuality as "inherent, uncontrollable, and animalistic". Not to a mention major upheaval of the "men are always ready to go" crap.
Plus, think of the positive publicity that would come from someone like Dr. Meredith Grey saying on national television "Asexuality is officially recognized by the APA as a sexual orientation. It is not a mental disorder." That would be huge. That would start conversations. That would get some naysayers to shut up.
We'll see how season 16 plays out. I have low hopes due to the very high rate of unplanned pregnancies in the main characters already (I don't get it, a show that's supposed to be about women having control over their bodies, and their birth control methods are failing left, right and center? 🤨). I may start planning my letter to the NYT editor right now.

I've found all ace representation disappointing so far. Todd is a bum who doesn't have his life together. Maybe that's more likely to be true of someone who is asexual than the rest of society because you're often treated as an outcast and that can negatively impact a person, but there are also asexual people who have successfully transitioned into adulthood. Why have all asexual characters needed to have some obvious flaw to them? Especially with how unrealistically perfect characters in movies and TV shows are generally portrayed to be. It's just not true to reality that asexuals aren't as diverse as people of other orientations. I imagine there are asexual normies out there who are equally as boring as sexual normies are.
