George Clooney Tried to Talk Ben Affleck Out of Playing Batman
George Clooney has long been vocal about his much derided brush with playing the Caped Crusader in Joel Schumacher's "Batman & Robin." From the perhaps too anatomically correct Batsuit to the movie's wild swings in tone, the 1997 sequel to "Batman Forever" is universally regarded as a flop. (Even though it made more than $238 million at the box office, albeit against a $160 million budget.)
Clooney recently reflected again on what a disaster the movie personally was for him during a new episode of "The Howard Stern Show" (via Deadline). Clooney sat down with Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers to discuss his new film "The Midnight Sky" on Netflix, among other wide-ranging topics. Though at the time of the release of "Batman & Robin" Clooney was hot off "ER," which he starred in through 1999, the Batman film was meant to be his big break onto the big screen.
"It's so bad that it actually hurts to watch," Clooney said on the show. "It physically hurts. You'll be flipping the channels and it'll just pop up and I'm like 'Oh no, no, no.'"

Clooney also told Howard Stern that the post-traumatic stress of it all led him to try and talk Ben Affleck out of playing Batman. (Affleck first appeared as the Dark Knight in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and will next be seen again in Zack Snyder's new cut of "Justice League" on HBO Max, and the upcoming Flash movie.)
"I've sort of had both rounds….I've been a big flop. I've bombed in things, and I've had big successes. That doesn't mean they listen. Ben didn't listen to me, and ended up doing a great job, and I was wrong," Clooney said. "But I can only impart my wisdom from my experience. I just said, 'Don't have nipples on the suit.'"
Clooney said of "Batman & Robin," "The truth of the matter is, I was bad in it," adding, "Akiva Goldsman, who's won the Oscar for writing [2001's 'A Beautiful Mind'] since then, he wrote the screenplay. It's a terrible screenplay. He'll tell ya. I'm terrible in it. I'll tell ya. Joel Schumacher, who just passed away, directed it and he'd say, 'Yeah, it didn't work.'" Clooney added, "We all whiffed on that one."

Breguet Re-Acquires Historical Pocket Watch At Beijing Auction
The Breguet Museum has announced that it has acquired an 1808 pocket watch, crafted for a dignitary of the Ottoman Empire, for the sum of CHF 650,000. This represents a record bid for a Turkish-style Breguet watch, and also a record for a pocket-watch auctioned on the youthful China market.
Part of the fun of historical auctions is, of course, the fascinating backstory behind each piece. This particular pocket watch was commissioned in 1807 by His Excellency Esseid Ali Effendi, former Turkish ambassador to Paris. He went by the rather grandiose nickname of "The Sublime Portal", and counted among his close friends Abraham-Louis Breguet himself.
One well, sublime contribution "The Sublime Portal" made to the horological world was alerting Abraham-Louis Breguet to the significance of the Turkish market, especially since Turkey was the only major power still allied with Napoleonic France.
Indeed, in a related morsel of history, it was at this juncture in time that Napoleon gifted Sultan Mahmud II with a Breguet sympathique clock encrusted in precious stones – the most expensive object ever made by A.-L. Breguet, still kept in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul to this day.
Returning to the auction piece that is the subject of this story, the Breguet N° 1090 Grande Complication watch is a quarter-repeating model with independent grande and petite sonnerie featuring a case and double-case enamelled in the classic Turkish style, along with a dial graced with ancient Arabic numerals – all in an exceptionally good state of conservation.
This piece was the highlight of the sale held by Poly Auction in Beijing, and will now be joining the other Breguet Museum treasures. Plans are being made to exhibit the watch at the Breguet Museum, which is located above the manufacture's iconic boutique on the Place Vendôme.

On Portland Elections
Biddley boo — the Eastside Guy. My opponents hate cars. Just listen! "I hate cars." Paid for my Biddley Boo — The Eastside Guy. You are the Majority!
Hm. I don't drive a car. Biddley boo is dividing car drivers from non car drivers, as well as — East and West, as per Biddley Boo's statement that he is the "Eastside Guy". (As opposed to his two opponents who are, evidentally "West-side"). I'm not really paying attention to the geopolitics of Portland, Oregon: do the Westsiders hate cars and the Eastsiders love them? My guess is Biddley boo wants to make an issue of Erik Sten's botched-from-the-start Tram Project. To do that, he denigrates all of public transportation instead. To wit, I say: Screw Biddley boo.
James Webb Conundrum Part Two
I have this sense of weariness, trying to open up the political fissures of different political fissures in this nation. For such a thing as the Democratic Party, there is a "Montana Miracle" in the works, a product of strong leadership of Brian Swietzer and a general sense that the Democratic Party can win a meaningful election in a state full of cowboys.
Virginia always looked like another fulcrom. A Mark Warner wandered in, something of a technocrat, received overwhelming approval ratings when he left, and left behind a Democratic gubernatorial replacement.
And the man to continue that re-beat is… James Webb.
I've read that Webb was a Dem until 76, and when Reagan ran for Pres. he brought A LOT of disenfranchised Dems to his side. We should welcome Webb back to the party (he supported Kerry in 04) and look at the vision and leadership he'd bring to the table. He has not been in bed with Republicans for the last 10 years, Harris (anti-American worker)Miller has.
I note an interesting debate between the two Democratic hopefuls over Affirmative Action. Webb says that the racial element should be dropped and affirmative action should be used as a means for the lower socio-economic groupings to have a better means of upward mobility. Miller maintains that other government programs (the Hope Grant, Medicaid) work for that end, and Affirmative Action was devised specifically for blacks and minorities. When I hear the argument from an opponent of Affirmative Action cry out, "At what point would society have 'fixed' the problem of racism and sexism such that you'd end it?", I'd reply with a "Thwamp!" and "In an ideal world, it would become a mechanism for the poor to have better access to upward mobility." As it is, I don't know where I'd come out on this debate. I'd think it would end up covering some of the reconstructive work that came with … um… the refusal of our government to carry out Reconstruction — but I don't really know.
Over the years Webb has made impolitic pronouncements opposing women in combat and warning that some affirmative action had become "state-sponsored racism." Today, Webb endorses affirmative action but not for mere "diversity" reasons. He says that as secretary of the Navy he tripled the number of women in "operational billets" and that he has been endorsed by the only woman to make it through the Special Operations course.
All that said, in consideration of this George Will column, a few footnotes are in order:
Webb, who says he was "pretty much" a Democrat until President Carter "pardoned the draft evaders," (1) endorsed Allen over Democratic Sen. Chuck Robb in 2000 (2), after supporting Robb – another Marine veteran of Vietnam – in 1994. In 1992, Webb supported the presidential campaign of another Vietnam veteran, Nebraska Democrat Sen. Bob Kerrey, who now is national finance chairman of Webb's campaign. Webb says, "I wouldn't shake John Kerry's hand for 20 years" because of Kerry's anti-Vietnam activities (3) but "I voted for him" in 2004.
(1) He left the Democratic Party of Jimmy Carter for the wrong reason, then. Actually this deserves some further explication. Later post. Reference the one part of Kevin Phillips's new book that I read which refers to the South's attitudes toward Presidents Truman, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton as, in the end, Carpet Baggers.
(2) I understand why James Webb, even if you more fully import him into Republican-land, rejected Senate Candidate Oliver North. But George Allen?
(3) This was a cultural touchstone for the fall of the Democratic Party, in the South especially. Somehow the excesses of the anti-war movement fall onto John Kerry's soldiers. James Webb ends up with the same crowd as the Swift-Boat Campaigners.
Back to Will's column.
Long convinced that invading Iraq would "empower Iran, the long-term threat," Webb thinks the administration's neoconservative nation-builders "are so far to the left they seem to be on the right." His challenge will be to harvest financial support, much of it from outside Virginia, from anti-war liberals, without forfeiting his appeal to Virginia's moderate Democrats and many military families. He is being endorsed by some of the retired generals now denouncing Don Rumsfeld. And he will attract attention if he continues to charge that the Bush administration is "deliberately miscounting the casualties in Iraq," minimizing them by "counting only those evacuated out of theater."
Webb says, "I'm pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-Second Amendment." Two out of three might not suffice, given that Democratic primary voters often have little tolerance for heterodoxy. And he says, "I'm not saying what anti-war people want to hear – 'Get out last Tuesday.' "
Will is likely overstating the "two out of three" (which may morph into "two out of four" if he expect it to drag into the "How to extricate from Iraq" — though perhaps Will realizes the Democratic mixed mind on the subject which ends up as "Just so long as they realize we have to leave sooner or later"). But Virginia's Democratic primary voters. They own guns, don't they? My vague awareness of Virginia geopolitics is that you have Suburban Washington DC — Yuppie form of Democratic Blue — and you have … the rest — Republican Red. Except, the last governor ripped through the rural red area by referring to Jesus in every other sentence — William Jennings Bryan would be so proud, as might Tom Franks. Doesn't this supposed "Jacksonian Democracy" uprising that Webb and Webb's supporters believe him to be helping foster include Two Guns in Every Garage?
"Jacksonian Democrat" was a code-word used by Segregationist Democrats from the end of FDR's tenure on through the dawn of the political realignment that gave the South to the Republicans. Perhaps there are some things to be gained with it — surely the absolute most onerous part of Jackson's legacy is no longer even possible. As it were, Jackson lead a rowdy crew into the white house to break John Quincy Adams and company's dinner plates, as the aristocratic figures of the John Quincy Adams administration looked on and sneered at the "rabble", and it is for that that we celebrate the legacy of Andrew Jackson.
Referring to James Webb's book "Born Fighting", the vision is that the Ivory League Intellectual proponents of "Political Correctness" are the Aristocrats that have been thumping their nose at the the Redneck fans of NASCAR, evidentally all Scotch – Irish Americans. In the strange celebration that Webb has written, thumb their nose at the hyphenated markers that come with "political correctness", though this doubles back on itself as something that is a source of pride for a group that should assert itself — and I can make out two hyphens in the group listing.
The Ned Lamont Challenge
From a newspaper in Connecticut — the Hartford Courant — this letter to the editor:
Does The Courant's April 23 encomium to Ned Lamont [Page 1, "Out Of The Political Shadows"] have to be reported as a campaign donation? Too bad, but even a puff piece like this contains some hard truths about the aspiring senator. His style (hiding his luxury car, his Greenwich mansion, his Phillips Exeter past) reminds me a lot of another Greenwich "how can we fool 'em today?" pol, Lowell Weicker.
Seriously, Ned should step back and do a self-check: Anyone who advocates abortion, socialized medicine, amnesty for illegals and surrender in Iraq need not be "unsure where he falls on the political spectrum." He is a leftist, just like his Uncle Corliss, who wanted to hand over U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations. To deny it is an act of mendacity or foolishness.
John Lankford
The term "leftist" is something of a joke, and there are those in this nation that have the habit of wrapping the political "left", liberalism, right up to "Moderate" Republicans into one giant grouping.
I take more forceful aim at his suggestion of Ned Lamont hiding his wealth. Actually, to the legions of Ned Lamontites, the wealth is a great attraction. He has money to spend in his bid to unseat the reviled Joseph Lieberman. The sad fact that the Senate is a Millionaire's Club means that Ned LaMont would be joining the company of 99 (give or take one or two) other Millionaire Senators, hiding their luxury cars, mansions, and privileged backgrounds when attempting to appeal to the voters as one variety of "populist" or other. This game works across the party aisles.
But somehow or other this gets through to the media. Witness today's Washington Post article:
Mild-mannered and thoughtful, Lamont has a pedigree that blends old money with noblesse oblige. His great-grandfather Thomas W. Lamont, a chairman of J.P. Morgan & Co., commuted to Wall Street by yacht and helped to negotiate the Treaty of Versailles. His family tree also includes Corliss Lamont, a socialist philosopher and civil libertarian, and an assortment of ministers and adventurers. Lamont served as a Greenwich selectman during the 1980s and lost a 1990 state Senate bid.
In his official biography, Lamont describes the lively, politically charged family dinner conversations that punctuated his childhood. "The underlying theme was public service," he recalled.
That is how the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy tend to frame their rich pedigree: "Service". I suppose this is the "limousine liberalism" that gets people tied up in knots — how very paternalistic those bastards! Those with more humble backgrounds, John Edwards — whos background is not quite as humble as he makes it out to be, but we work with him nonetheless, Bill Clinton — and the most humble backgrounds of them all — Dennis Kucinich — can play that other role. (The most aggravating thing I ever heard about Bill Clinton was "I like him, because he's like an ordinary man." But at least it wasn't as annoying as hearing "I like George W Bush, because he's like an ordinary man.")
The bizarre trick up Ned Lamont's sleeve is to use his business pedigree to show him as not terribly a leftist firebrand at all that is supposedly the fire-breathing bloggers' driving aim — someone who is not playing out Cindy Sheehan's role — contemplator of a more symbolic primary fight against Dianne Feinstein — but seriously meaning to become Connecticut's next Senator, and once there, governing.
The trouble with Lieberman:
With nearly $4.8 million of campaign funds in the bank as of March 31, Lieberman rolled out two statewide ads about a week ago, including one that directly confronts the war. "I already know that some of you feel passionately against my position on Iraq," Lieberman says in the ad. "I respect your views, and while we probably won't change each other's minds, I hope we can still have a dialogue and find common ground on all the issues where we do agree."
is that, by definition, you are already at common ground on "all the issues we do agree" with.
Lowell Weicker sits on the sidelines:
"It appears Weicker has not gotten over the loss to Lieberman 18 years ago, and he's still trying to get some measure of revenge for that," said Lieberman campaign manager Sean Smith.
Smith was then quick to clarify that he does not lay all the blame at Weicker's feet.
"I want to be clear," Smith said. "Sen. Lieberman has taken on some controversial positions and he knows that some of the discontent out there is due to positions that he himself has taken." He then added: "It does appear also that Lowell Weicker is still trying to get back at Joe Lieberman for taking away his Senate seat in 1988."
Which either misses the mark or it doesn't. It's a sub-plot for the chattering classes of Connecticut to yammer on about, of no consequence to anyone other than them and a few Political Insiders.

Phil Hendrie — RIP
Friday, April 28th, 2006
Phil Hendrie has decided to retire from radio and pursue his acting career on a full-time basis. The last live broadcast of the syndicated �Phil Hendrie Show� will be June 23. Hendrie currently appears on the NBC television sitcom, �Teachers.�
Hendrie stated, �I have taken my show as far as I can in the present climate of terrestrial radio. I�ve been doing these characters for 16 years, and believe it�s time for me to take them from behind the microphone and present them in front of the camera.� […]
SVP Comedy Programming, NBC Universal Television Studio Shelley McCrory stated, �While this is a huge loss for radio, it�s a big win for television. We�re thrilled with the work Phil�s doing on our comedy series �Teachers,� and look forward to a long future with him."
Yes. Phil Hendrie is going to join the exciting and burgeoning world of … Network Television Sitcom Television… a place that just shouts out "Freshness". "Teachers" looks like a horrible television show.
Ah well. That sucks. Rest In Piece, Phil Hendrie. I enjoyed you from 1998 onward, and now you fade into nothingness, leaving a blank on the dial. You had a bit of a miss when you slowly brought in your boisterous political discussions, (Hawkish on War), and at times in the last three years it spilled into your schtik (never a good arena for political points)– prior to that you had the one problem of devoting a full hour of your show to talking about how wonderful you are. But I could ignore all that and turn you off to wait for something better. But I am now set to prepare to think about you in the Past Tense. "Remember Phil Hendrie? Yeah, he was funny once upon a time. I liked it when he aped that midlevel Laker Player and talked about his German player as smelling like Cheese."
"The Sam and Joe" Show?
From the latest issue of "Mental Floss" magazine, a profile on eccentric (is there any other type) Mathematician, Paul Erd�s.
During much of Erd�s' childhood, his father was imprisoned in a Russian internment camp in Siberia, having been captured during World War One. But when he returned to Hungary in 1920, he brought his son a very special gift — The English Language. Unfortunately, said language arrived a little damaged. Lajos Erd�s taught himself English by reading books in prison. Having never actually heard the language, the pronunciations he taught his son were, to say the least, imaginative. Years later, Paul Erd�s' speech was still so unintelligible that a documentary featuring him provided subtitles. To make matters worse, Erd�s peppered his speech with self-created slang few people outside his circle of friends understood. In Erd�s- speak, "wine, women, and song" became "poison, bosses, and noises"; "epsilon" referred to a child or any small object; and international news, particularly when it focused on the Cold War, became "The Sam and Joe Show".
I like that name.
Yesterday, at the public library, I read the "Events today" paper next to the Events conference room. Apparently there was something about an introduction to "Transcendental Meditation / Peace" that the public at large could attend.
This is a shadow government. Kind of. There was a political party based around Transcendental Meditation — that old joke of the Natural Law Party. The premise is that to solve the world's problems, you sit around and do nothing, saying "Oom" a lot. I have my doubts about this approach — our current president seems to have a part of that in his philosophy (without the oom) and I can't say I like the results. Anyways, when the party dissolved in 2004, the erstwhile leader of the party, John Hagelin, converted the key pieces to a "US Peace Government" — which, I guess, would be the very definition of "Shadow Government" (Definition Number Two in a would-be dictionary) in the sense that it shadows the actual government. Which, I guess is the marker for the word "Peace".
I did not touch this thing with a ten-foot pole.
Something I note at the library: as per the Dewey decimal system, there's a large selection of books on the Republican Party at the library. Followed by a large selection of books on the Democratic Party with a decimal .2 degrees apart. The two book selections for this that are worth a gander are obviously published as a set: Grand Old Party : A History of the Republicans and Party of the People : A History of the Democrats. The most interesting parts of the books, apart from noting the differences in how the books end up dividing up the years according to the era and sub-eras of the two partys' histories, are for the Democratic Party the years in exile between 1920 and 1932 and for the Republicans the years in exile in the decade of the 1930s.
Anyways, the next decimal number has one sole volume. A Reason to Vote by Robert Rot, a book promoting… the Natural Law Party.
I smirk "Wow. A while Decimal point for the Natural Law Party!" But I know better. The Communist Party of America gets a whole tenth of a decimal; the Natural Law Party doesn't. This is a dirge of third party material, and this is the only book the library has here.

It is past time to recognize that, over a long career, his policy judgment and his moral judgment alike have been admirable and acute. Gore has been right about global warming since holding the first congressional hearing on the topic, twenty-six years ago. He was right about the role of the Internet, right about the need to reform welfare and cut the federal deficit, right about confronting Slobodan Milosevic in Bosnia and Kosovo. Since September 11th, he has been right about constitutional abuse, right about warrantless domestic spying, and right about the calamity of sanctioned torture. And in the case of Iraq, both before the invasion and after, he was right�courageously right�to distrust as fatally flawed the political and moral good faith, operational competence, and strategic wisdom of the Bush Administration.

La Roublevka (en russe : Рублёвка) est le nom officieux de la banlieue ouest de Moscou. Elle est située le long des routes Rublyovo-Uspenskoye et Podushkinskoe.

La Roublevka tire son nom de l'autoroute Rublyovskoye shosse qui la traverse. Il n'existe aucune unité administrative officielle appelée « Roublevka » mais ce nom s'est popularisé dans la société et les médias russes pour désigner la banlieue huppée de Moscou.

Géographiquement la banlieue de Roublevka se compose des villages de Barvikha, Joukovka et Razdory auxquels sont parfois ajoutés les villages d' et de Znamenskoye.

Ces trois villages s'organisent sous la forme de résidences fermées entourées de murs et protégées par des gardiens et des caméras de surveillance.

Histoire
La Roublevka est le lieu de résidence privilégié des aristocrates et de la haute société russe depuis XVI siècle.

Les empereurs Pierre le Grand et Catherine II venaient régulièrement faire des pèlerinages au monastère de Savino-Storozhevsky non loin.

La région a toujours été le lieu de prédilection des chasses à courre des tsars et des empereurs russes. La noblesse russe y venait régulièrement et notamment les princes Youssoupov, Chouvalov et Galitzine. Certains aristocrates s'étaient fait construire de véritables palais à l'image du domaine d'Arkhangelskoïe propriété de la famille Galitzine de 1706 à 1810 puis de la famille Youssoupov jusqu'en 1917 ou encore du domaine d'Ilynskoe propriété du Grand-duc Serge Alexandrovitch.

Sous l'Union soviétique c'est à la Roublevka que se trouvaient les datchas de Lénine, Staline ainsi que les résidences d'été de tous les secrétaires généraux du parti communiste de Nikita Khrouchtchev à Mikhaïl Gorbatchev.

Depuis le milieu des années 1990 sont venus s'installer à la Roublevka des hauts fonctionnaires, des ministres, des hommes d'affaires et des stars de cinéma faisant du lieu un Beverly Hills russe.

Géographie et accès
Le quartier est situé à 30 minutes à l'ouest de Moscou cependant la route qui y mène est parfois fermée en raison de déplacements de Vladimir Poutine et d'autres hauts responsables gouvernementaux russes qui y ont des résidences.

Avengers Endgame sets (two with double VIP point offers) and LEGO Ideas Steamboat Willie are also now available.
This wave is certainly smaller than the 112 new sets from this January, but we have your guide right here to each and every new set.
LEGO has revealed 21317 Steamboat Willie, the next LEGO Ideas set featuring retro-Mickey and Minnie Mouse minifigures as well as the iconic S.S. Willie steamboat. The boat's steam pipes bounce up and down and the paddle wheels rotate as the set is pushed forward. The set comes with 751 pieces and will be available starting April 1st for US: $89.99 | Canada: 119.99 CAD | UK: £79.99.
The monochromatic set comes only a month after it was selected to be one of the next LEGO Ideas products, a shockingly fast turnaround in comparison to previous LEGO Ideas sets. The set is also quite an upgrade from the original submission. Continue reading to see all the official photos, or take a closer look at the insides and build process in our review of 21317 Steamboat Willie.
Only a few weeks since the set was announced in the second round of LEGO Ideas reviews from 2018, 21317 Steamboat Willie will be available to buy from April 1st. The final set design is very different from the Ideas project which inspired it, and, with all respect to the original model, the improvements are significant. Mickey's paddle steamer is much larger and more detailed than the original microscale design.
The set has 751 pieces, features black & white retro minifigures of Mickey and Minnie, and is available from April 1st for US: $89.99 | Canada: 119.99 CAD | UK: £79.99.
Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring…except for SpaceBrick. SpaceBrick's latest LEGO model presents a unique twist on the classic Tim Burton film by taking a scene and contextualizing it as a painting. His brick-built illustration is even mounted on an easel! The builder did a great job of crafting the moonlit cliff with a curl, and the surrounding scenery is to die for. Pairs of Harry Potter wand on sprue elements were used to create tombstones, which look Burtonesque in their own right. Look carefully, and you might also catch a glimpse of a tiny Jack Skellington.
The level of detail in this LEGO model is frighteningly high, right down to the tools of the trade scattered below the easel. There are half-filled tubes of paint, a paint spill, and wood shavings alongside the pencil sharpener. It all helps one feel the artist's sense of accomplishment they must have experienced upon finishing their masterpiece.
We recently covered Mike Nieves' excellent Belle from Beauty and the Beast, but of course, she needs an antagonist. Now Mike is back to bring us everyone's favorite Disney chump, Gaston. With ludicrously bulging muscles and a smarmy grin, this LEGO sculpt captures the essence of Gaston perfectly as he shows off for a disinterested Belle. The little bit of scenery ties it all together, with an excellent stump that even includes tree rings.

A former small dining room at St. Luke Living Center was converted into a living room, where residents can meet with relatives and friends to visit or for special occasions.
St. Luke Living Center gets new life
By ROWENA PLETT
Residents at St. Luke Living Center are now enjoying newly renovated rooms. Every room has been redone, including floors, walls, bathrooms, and shades on windows.
Resident Sharon Grosse, formerly of McPherson, said the renovation is "very nice."
Office workers are especially appreciative of the changes.
Director Janet Herzet used to have an office at the back of the facility. Now, her office is in front, just to the left of the new entrance.
Her assistant, Heidi Stringer, is across the hall, also in a new office. She used to share with charge nurses.
""This is more private," she said. "I love it."
With large shaded windows on two sides, the offices are bright and get a lot of sunshine.
They are part of a 1,000-square foot addition that includes a new entrance and an enlarged dining room.
Other offices have been reconfigured and renovated.
After 18 years as medical records clerk, Charlene Lawrence is happy to have her own office. She said her office used to be a cubbyhole inside another cubbyhole. Now she has her own space and a new big desk.
"I can turn my chair around and around and not hit anything," she said with a smile. "It's wonderful."
Hallways also were renovated, with new flooring, new paint, and new bathrooms. New signs were placed on apartments, and a new fireplace was added near the entrance.
Plant operations director Dave Baliel is doing finishing touches. He participated in the renovation, putting up handrails along hallways and painting.
"I was the go-between for the staff and contractor," he said. "We're pleased to have it done."
Workers have a different break room that includes a bathroom.
A former small dining room was changed into a living room in which friends and families can gather.
The center's spa room was redone to include a DVD player and TV set at the front of the spa, a towel warmer, a shower, and a sink.
Herzet said St. Luke Auxiliary provided money for many new items. Total auxiliary donations were $193,323.
"I can't speak highly enough of the auxiliary," she said. "It pays to support the auxiliary shop."
At its May meeting, the auxiliary board approved $20,000 of expenditures for painting the Marion County Home Health building, landscaping the Living Center, and other projects.
Two high school graduates received $1,000 scholarships. Bailey Robson plans to study nursing school at Wichita State University. Tori Shults plans to major in physical therapy at Kansas State University.
Shoppe receipts in April were $8,354. Six office chairs were donated to Marion City Museum.
The auxiliary will not meet during the summer. Its next meeting will be Sept. 5.
The living center has a capacity for 32 residents and is almost full, Herzet said.

White Plains, N.Y.-based Danone North America introduced Two Good, a low-fat Greek yogurt line from its brand Light & Fit. The yogurt contains just 2 grams of sugar, 80 calories and 12 grams of protein per 5.3-ounce serving. Light & Fit developed a patent-pending slow-straining batching process that removes the sugar from the milk used to make the yogurt — resulting in 85% less sugar than average yogurts, the company said. The line is available in five flavors, including Mixed Berry, Peach, Strawberry, Blueberry and Vanilla. The yogurts are sold nationwide for a suggested retail price of $1.49 per container.

Images from Palestine fill our social media feeds—making an oft ignored conflict harder to feign ignorance about.
On witnessing the atrocities of war and colonialism in the digital age
When violence and trauma travel through digital networks, it's our responsibility to make solidarity and resistance travel the same way.
By Johannah Black
This is the age of the smartphone and internet, the age of the civilian-journalist. Seven years ago I watched on YouTube as a barrel bomb was dropped on a Syrian neighbourhood, killing several civilians, one of them my ex-boyfriend. He and the others were at the site of a previous bombing, civilian rescuers attempting to dig bodies from the rubble, and my ex-boyfriend a journalist documenting it all. They were killed by a second bomb hitting the same site, a cruel calculus designed to kill rescuers.
The video documenting the atrocities of the Syrian regime was posted on YouTube, because no mainstream media would dare. It showed the bomb falling from a helicopter hovering in the air. Men shouted "Allahu Akhbar" in fear as they filmed its destruction. They filmed the aftermath. They filmed the bodies pulled from the rubble. Including the body of someone I once loved.
I cannot possibly describe that experience. The face of someone once so familiar seemed to melt and meld in front of my eyes, shifting into a monstrosity bearing an uncanny resemblance to Picasso's "Guernica." I had to blink several times for the features of that face I knew to come back into order, everything in its right place.
To Gaza with love: A Jewish Haligonian challenges Israel by going on a trade mission to the Palestinian territory.
At the funeral two weeks later, his mother asked me to place a rose into his hands. I didn't know how to say no. I still don't know how to say no to a mother grieving the violent death of her child. How can anyone say no in that context? His body and face were unrecognizable because of the violence, and that brought me some peace. A voice in my mind told me, "It's the wrong person…it's the wrong person…maybe he is still alive but injured somewhere." But when I placed the rose in his hands my entire heart shattered. I was once again struck by how soft his hands were. I felt the same surprise I felt the first time we held hands, the first time his hand cupped by cheek. Recognition of touch shattered all illusions and brought me back to the horror of the loss.
A couple of days later a friend sent me a selfie on Instagram. But when I opened the photo a selfie was not what I saw. To my horror, the photo sent to my phone showed the dead body, lying in the casket, of my ex-boyfriend. Reviled, I threw the phone away from me and sobbed. "How did anyone get this photo?" "Why would someone send this photo to me?" These are the questions that swirled through my panicking mind. Only hours later when I had the courage to pick up the phone again, did I see that the photo was a selfie of my friend—a friend who, apart from also being male, looks nothing like my ex-boyfriend. My mind had created the image of the body. PTSD flashbacks can also circulate through technology, it turned out.
Now, in the latest violent offensive of the Israeli settler-colonial and apartheid state, I can watch more videos—this time on Twitter and Instagram. Videos shared more easily online than ever before, as the villages, towns and neighbourhoods of my Palestinian friends are bombed. I can watch videos of roving groups of Israeli settler terrorists, bent on genocide, as they attack and lynch any Arabs they find. Streets that I walked down while visiting these friends, I revisit through these terrifying videos of angry mobs smashing the windows of Arab businesses and burning them to the ground.
At night I try to set a time limit for how much of this I will allow myself to watch, but I always end up overstretching staying on my phone until the small hours of the morning. At this point, I haven't had a proper night's sleep in days. When I do try to close my eyes, images of dead and broken bodies flood my inner eye. I try to visualize a waterfall, my childhood home, the living faces of the people I love, but the bodies return. One body in particular returns and returns, that of my ex-boyfriend.
"Do not let Palestinians' lives become only numbers": A Halifax woman shares her family's story as political refugees from Palestine.
I ask myself, repeatedly, why must I watch so many of these videos? I answer myself, I have a responsibility to bear witness to the atrocities that the mainstream media, including the CBC, have failed to document, and even whitewash or justify in their coverage.
I have asked myself thousands of times over the past seven years, why did I decide to watch the YouTube video documenting the massacre of my ex-boyfriend and seven Syrian civilians? In the moment, opening the video sent to me in an email from a distant acquaintance didn't feel like a choice. I don't regret watching the video. I felt and I still feel that witnessing the death of someone I once loved was a continuation of the love I still had. He was there as a journalist to show the indifferent and apathetic world what was happening. He wanted people to witness and to stand up against the injustice of it all. The least I could do was be his witness.
Yet I know that this witnessing is not a heroic act. I know that this witnessing is not enough, not nearly enough to bring an end to the slaughter of innocent civilians in Syria, in Palestine, in the Hazara neighbourhoods and villages of Afghanistan, the Tigray and Oromia regions of Ethiopia, in Yemen, or any of the other places where imperialism, oppression or tyranny are ripping the fabric of the world asunder.
Real heroism is what the people of Palestine demonstrate every day as they continue living, writing and resisting in the face of brutal violence. Real heroism is found in every step taken towards indigenous self-determination and decolonization.
For the rest of us, the least we can do is speak out in solidarity. True solidarity comes at the risk of your career, your reputation and your comfortable life, in order to demand an end to injustice.
Canada has exported $57 million worth of military weapons and technology to Israel since 2015, despite numerous well-documented human rights abuses over the years. Our government has repeatedly refused to condemn the actions of the Israeli government, instead pledging its loyalty. Settler-colonial nation-states stand together.
We should remember that South African apartheid was inspired by the Canadian system of reservations for Indigenous people. This system was further modified and adapted by the Israeli government and illegal (according to international law) settlers as they annexed more and more land partitioning off large swaths of the occupied West Bank. Freedom for Palestinians is directly linked to struggles for Indigenous self-determination and resurgence here on Turtle Island.
As an uninvited settler in Mi'kmaki I have spoken out about the continued violence of settler colonialism here, and now I do so in favour of Palestinian freedom as well.
With the facts on the ground, the violence and the massacres so easily accessible online, none of us has an excuse to remain silent any longer. These crimes and injustices can no longer be hidden by the imperialist propaganda machine that calls itself the news. I am not asking you to risk your mental or emotional well-being to watch the videos all over social media. But I am asking you to read the written accounts and the tweets from Palestinians on the ground. I am asking you to speak out against Israeli apartheid, to stand in solidarity with Palestinians. In an interconnected and digital world there are greater possibilities for solidarity than ever before. We are the networks we need to distribute the truth, and to speak that truth in a whisper or a deafening roar into the face of power.

Why is Alex from Northlane in this? I thought he's done with music, or maybe with touring, or maybe he just wanted to try new music ventures, who knows.
Pretty decent, I do feel like they're trying a bit too hard to be Knocked Loose, especially with the barks, or is that just me?
Aiden is back and angrier than ever.
This track is all over the place and the mix is horrible.


To be concise, not really. But I'm a wordy person, so of course I have to add detail. Understand that I took AP English in high school; adding detail is in my blood now.
I don't know very much Japanese. I can speak basic conversational phrases, and have assimilated a large and random vocabulary from watching subbed anime and reading translated song lyrics. I'm nowhere fluent, and I will be the first to admit that. But why do I love songs in a language I barely understand?
I have learned to appreciate the voice as just another instrument. If a voice is beautiful, powerful, or capable of evoking some kind of response in me, then the language the voice sings in is a trivial matter. The problem with the people who are baffled that I listen to music I don't understand is that they rely on lyrics as a crutch. They think, "if I can't understand or relate to this song, then its terrible and I reject it altogether." Come on. There are plenty of English artists who make no sense and are still popular. (Pink Floyd, anyone?) The point is that you don't have to rely on lyrical content to make a good song. What if a song has a good beat, a catchy melody, beautiful vocals? Is it any less of a song because you don't understand it?
Take for example Meg, an Italian artist I happened upon while googling the Japanese artist MEG. When I heard her song Simbiosi, my first thought was "this song is absolutely captivating," not "oh, this is Italian and I can't speak that language to save my life." By the way, I highly recommend for all my readers to click the link and listen to the song. Its pure magic.
If you went through my iTunes library, you would be surprised. I have songs in too many languages to count. Zulu, German, Portuguese, and Arabic are just a few. I don't listen to these songs to pretentiously appear scholarly or worldly, I like them because each one of them made me feel something. The language isn't important. Really, its not.
Reader Question: Do people ever ask you if you understand foreign music, or why you like foreign music? How do you answer these questions? How do you feel about the voice as an instrument and not a messenger?
As Keanu Reeves would say: "Whoa."
This review was requested by Selryam from What is Disco, the premier location for all things techno! Thank you for the request, and my apologies for taking 2-ish weeks to fulfill it…..
After an all-out war with my computer and its audio, I was FINALLY able to listen to this album! My computer suffered a devastating crash a couple months ago and my audio has been a touch wonky ever since. Enough about my problems.
How about this cover, yo!? This has got to be the trippiest cover I've ever seen and I can't say how much I love it in words. Its psychedelic and wild for sure! I'm reminded of this cutscene from Family Guy, which just HAPPENS to be my favorite Family Guy moment in the history of ever. Does this give me a good feeling about this album? You bet your bottom dollar that it does!
The titular track World Wild 2010 immediately drew me in because it lives up to its name.
Saori's voice is great because she doesn't have the vocoder jammed down her throat. She really does have a pretty voice when its stripped down like that. She and MEG are the same in that respect.
How about Grotesque? This tune is anything but Grotesque! Its driven by a piano for the most part and it goes nicely along with some uber futuristic blips and bleeps. This is a one of a kind song and for sure the standout track on this album. When I think Saori@Destiny, this is going to be the song that comes to mind. I encourage anyone with functioning ears to listen to this song. Then force your family, friends, pets, and local hobos to listen to it. I swear. This song is so ridiculously amazing that it could stop criminals and global warming if played loud enough. Possibly.
Now I know I've ranted for about the entire lifespan of a fruit fly about this track, but its just that awesome.
Prism is also a noteworthy track because it is a techno ballad. You don't hear those two terms blended together often. Saori makes it work.
In Conclusion: World Wild 2010 is the album that changed my opinion on Saori@Destiny forever. She went from "just another of the 6,000,988,762,496,291,003 artists who covered Denki Groove's 'Shangri-La'" to a unique techno goddess who should be recognized. Shame on you, Alisa, for not realizing this sooner! Thanks again, Selryam, for your request!

"The Conjuring 3" is now hiring film crew positions in Atlanta, Georgia.
According to the Georgia Film Commission, producers are now accepting resumes for all crew positions. As a result, producers are looking for production assistants, grips, gaffers, make-up artists, stylists, wardrobe artists, and other crew members to work on the upcoming feature film.
In 2016, "The Conjuring" director James Wan said he would not be directing another movie in the franchise due to scheduling conflicts, "there could be many more [Conjuring] movies because the Warrens have so many stories", acknowledging that "there are other filmmakers that I would love to sort of continue on the Conjuring world".
James Wan stated the next film would take place in the 1980s, citing "American Werewolf in London" as inspiration. By June of 2016, it was announced a third sequel was in development. By 2017, James Wan said the movie was in development for a long time because he wanted it to live up to the quality of the previous two films.
In October 2018, Michael Chaves was announced as the film's director, after previously directing a film being released by Atomic Monster Productions. Wan stated he was impressed while working with Chaves on The Curse of La Llorona, and that the filmmaker would make a great addition to the creative team. Wilson and Farmiga are set to reprise their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren, with the plot reportedly revolving around a legal trial where the defendant claimed to have been possessed during the crimes of which he is accused.

(ATLANTA, GA) — The Academy of Model Aeronautics serves as the nation's collective voice for approximately 195,000 modelers in 2,400 clubs in the US and Puerto Rico. Recently appointed to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Drone Advisory Committee (DAC), the AMA is the only community-based organization acknowledged by the FAA. AMA members have a strong safety record due to well-established safety guidelines and educational programs. The partnership with UAV Ground School offers Academy members a $75 discount towards FAA Part 107 test preparation and expands on the Academy's long-standing safety and educational efforts.
The UAV Ground School program (UAVGS) is produced by the nation's pilot education leader Gold Seal, who has prepared over 45,000 private pilots for their FAA Knowledge Test. UAVGroundschool.com is a program taught by FAA certified instructors and uses FAA compliant materials that are presented in an online, interactive, multimedia format allowing students to learn at their own pace. Built-in testing with real FAA test questions, an extensive documentation library, and flash card quizzes complement the program. The program is created specifically for those wanting to increase their knowledge, become a professional UAV/drone operator and wishing to gain full FAA certification. In the months of August thru October 2016, UAVGS student registrations have approached the 3,000 mark.
UAV Ground School graduates may sit for the FAA Remote Operator Knowledge Test at any FAA testing center in the United States. Passing the FAA Knowledge Test and becoming a legal and safe operator gives graduates a major leg up as commercial UAV uses continue to explode.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics, founded in 1936, continues to be devoted to national airspace safety. It serves as the nation's collective voice for approximately 190,000 modelers in 2,400 clubs in the United States and Puerto Rico. Headquartered in Muncie, Indiana, AMA is a membership organization representing those who fly model aircraft for recreational and educational purposes.

Gold Seal was founded in 2006 by aerospace author and Master FAA CFI Russell Still, founder of Atlanta Flight, Inc. In late 2013, Gold Seal joined forces with Cliff Whitney, founder and president of UAV Experts and Atlanta Hobby, to design and promote the nation's leading UAV Ground School program. For over 30 years, Cliff has operated as a private sailplane and single engine pilot. He knows photography and video intimately through his time spent as the president of Wolf Camera.
