We all know Netflix is great (maybe even genius), don't get me wrong, but Hulu has one-upped them and figured out how to add live TV into the mix. It is a cable substitute rather than just a mechanism to binge watch shows. They have recently changed their look, and it seems closer to the future of TV. When you first signup/login, you provide your preferences (genre, shows, and even specific sports teams). Then it continues to suggest shows that may be of interest to you and continually gets to know you. I would argue that my Hulu account knows me better than I know me, sort of like my wife knows what I like to eat at a restaurant more than I know! You will build a very nice relationship over time, though it may border on co-dependence as you become increasingly addicted to binge-watching. Again, unlike Netflix, it is about live TV (its partners are the major networks/content providers), so with Hulu you can watch ESPN, The Today Show, The Bahelorette, or whatever, whenever!

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is ending a program that allows citizens of Liberia living in the U.S. to avoid deportation. But it's allowing a one-year "wind-down" period to ease their return.
Liberians have been eligible for Deferred Enforcement Departure since 1999. The program, which began under President Bill Clinton, and was extended during the Bush and Obama administrations, allows people from the country to live and work legally in the U.S. It's similar to another program called "Temporary Protected Status," which the Trump administration also has worked to scale back.
"Liberia has also concluded reconstruction from prior conflicts, which has contributed significantly to an environment that is able to handle adequately the return of its nationals," he wrote.
Right now, 839 Liberian citizens have valid work status under the program, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
To provide an "orderly transition" and give Liberia's government time to "reintegrate" citizens who have to return, beneficiaries will be given a 12-month window during which they're still allowed to live in the U.S. and work.
The protections, which Trump had until March 30 to renew, will now expire March 31, 2019.

We have surrounded ourselves with gadgets and services, and they surround us. Modern man spends his life in front of a monitor.
We come across a link on Facebook and start to read some left-leaning (or right-leaning) article, but then to the side we see a more enticing title.
"Why don't we take a look?" says your inner voice.
And there, in another article, a link to an author's book… it would be a sin not to look. We go to Amazon to send ourselves a snippet. At the same time, we check out another fascinating book that many people bought with this one. Gotta send that one, too.
While we snoop around on Amazon, we get 7 likes on Facebook, and now we have to look to see if there are comments. It turns out there were a whole two. We cleverly answer the first, and already responded to the second with a clear plan to close Facebook and return to work, which you need to deliver on before dinner… And now there's a funny response to our subsequent comment, and we have to respond in kind.
Back to work. Stop! Today's birthdays include your friends Marius Josipovic, Marla Sausage, and Russian Ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak.
"Congratulate Josipovic!" shouts that inner voice.
"I'll congratulate him later, I have work!" you respond.
Now your boss flies over to your cubicle.
Your boss glances at his phone. He got a text. He grins; it's clearly romantic. He thinks he's the only one in the company that knows about his relationship with Rosetta Salami from the personnel department. He writes something to her, gets a response, and writes again. You cough.
Brain researchers say that multitasking, which looks so admirable at first, is actually harmful.
This is what I like about Benjamin Eye Institute; they take time out for you, all without checking comments, likes, emails, texts, or an article about yet another scandal.
We have to learn how to treat ourselves the same way. Focus!

Sarna News: Clan Invasion Box Set 'Mechs Revealed!
Mechanized Battle Armor rules
Clan Invasion Box Set 'Mechs Revealed!
(Redirected from Mechanized Battle Armor)
Battle Armor can be "mechanized" in a way that allows them to "ride" a BattleMech into battle. This is usually done to further enhance the already relatively high mobility of Battle Armor.
This is not to confused with Mechanized Infantry, in which case, infantry (and sometimes Battle Armor) deploy out of a troop transportation unit. Nor should it be confused with Self-Mechanized infantry who move across the battlefield with their own personal vehicles.
How It Works[edit]
Most OmniMechs are designed specifically to accommodate Battle Armor with special handholds, which can be grabbed onto by most forms of Manipulators. These handholds are built into the structure of the 'Mech, and active when a friendly Battle Armor trooper broadcasts an IFF message to the 'Mech via the built in suit communication systems.[1] Once this signal is recieved, the 'Mech activates these handholds, which then the trooper uses to "board" the 'Mech. Without this IFF broadcast, the handhelds are made inaccessible by the 'Mech to reduce the likelihood of Anti-'Mech tactics succeeding.
Regular 'Mechs can't be boarded using this method, as many were designed before the advent of Battle Armor. Instead, these 'Mechs can be boarded with a Magnetic Claw or Magnetic Clamp. Once activated, these claws stick to the side of the structure of the 'Mech and act as though the troops boarded the same way as an OmniMech. This will slow down the 'Mech however.[2]
Most 'Mech classes can only carry 6 suits of Battle Armor, however, Superheavy 'Mechs can carry double this capacity of Battle Armor. There is one location for the trooper to climb onto for each torso section of the 'Mech, including all front torso locations, and the rear torso locations, Superheavy units getting two.[3]

Today's column is written by Richard Frankel, President, of Rocket Fuel, Inc.
One of the most popular and fastest-growing display advertising tactics is retargeting, also known as remarketing. But as with any marketing technique, retargeting can be misused, misunderstood, and abused. So, as marketers dive in to leverage this promising technique, it's high time to examine retargeting's potential issues.
(1) Retargeting doesn't exist in a vacuum.
It's a truism of marketing that advertising in multiple channels makes it hard to understand the unique effect of any particular channel. This issue is amplified online – a marketer may be using 2, 3, or even dozens of different tactics for engaging with audiences. All of these tactics will drive customers to your site. Every time someone shows up, your retargeting partner will notice him/her, and retarget them later somewhere else on the web. Some of these people will just show up because they know your brand, have a past history with the products, or are interested based on some other interaction. They too will be retargeted.
Smart marketers are trying to really understand what the true lift is provided by retargeting. This is possible – and not even that hard – by using a careful test & control methodology. By doing this you can learn what the real value of retargeting is. Rocket Fuel did this recently with IMVU, a client that runs a virtual world and virtual goods marketplace. We measured the exact economic effect of our retargeting, and built a solid, fact-based business deal around those economics. We even had a bonus learning ; certain demographics had greater lift in relative value from our advertising. This allowed us to fine-tune our targeting and focus on higher-value audiences (within the total population of re-targetable people) for the client.
Best Practice: Invest in understanding the real incremental value that retargeting brings you.
If based on solid measurement we can determine the actual value of retargeting, one thing becomes clear. For online campaigns that use many display tactics, the actual value of retargeting is likely lower than you think. The reason is simple : all those tactics that are driving traffic to your site are seeing their value stolen by the retargeters, who grab the customers when they appear, and claim all the value when they show them the retargeting ad. Of course the retargeters are doing something – just not everything. The sites, behavioral targeters, ad networks, etc. who sent the audience to your shopping site in the first place are getting some of their "credit" stolen.
The solution to this problem is to carefully measure the relative value of each of your marketing tactics, and make sure that you assign proper weight to all your partners' tactics. One thing that you'll find is that retargeting isn't as good as you thought, but all your other partners are in fact better. Doing this properly will create a fairer playing field among all your display advertising vendors, and increase your own long-term effectiveness as you get better at building media campaigns.
Best Practice: Make sure you do an online media mix/lift analysis to understand how all of your tactics are driving the activity you're looking for, and adjust the relative value of retargeting.
The main reason that retargeting has exploded in the last few years is due to the emergence of exchanges like Yahoo!/Right Media and Google/DoubleClick Ad Exchange. These allow retargeters to efficiently find your customers on nearly the entire web. But this means that if you hire 10 firms to do retargeting, very likely they are all competing for the same people on those exchanges. This puts you (the advertiser/agency) in the undesirable position of competing/bidding against yourself for your audience. This will push up the prices you see rapidly, and in general make your buys less efficient. The solution for this is simple.
Best Practice: Use one primary vendor for retargeting. Don't excessively bid against yourself. Test alternates with potential for improved performance/reach in limited and highly controlled tests.
There are a lot of companies that are touting new kinds of targeting. They pixel your site, study your audience, e-mail a pretty report, and deliver amazing results. Results that are as good as your other great performer – retargeting. This should give you pause. In our experience, even carefully measured retargeting is usually the top performer in a campaign. For other tactics to be as effective as retargeting is certainly possible – we've seen it – but requires careful testing to make sure that you're hitting a truly independent, unique audience.
Best Practice: Invest in understanding your targeting vendors' tools, capabilities and practices to make sure you know what you're getting! And don't let new vendors mix in retargeting with some new, unproven technique.
With most retargeting efforts -- especially those against very large retargeting pools (i.e. for sites with 1 million+ monthly visitors) -- large audiences are treated as undifferentiated masses. This is a fine approach, but you can do better. It is possible to sub-segment retargeting audiences to reach the best candidates in the pool. With the advent of more sophisticated exchange tools, one can even imagine paying different rates for better or worse potential ad viewers. Doing this takes smarts, effort, and technology – and not every player in the marketplace is capable of doing this.
Best Practice: Look for vendors with superior technology. Test, test, test.
Ultimately, experienced marketers know that they can only get so far with current customers, and have to, at some point, go get some new ones. While retargeting is a great tool (even with the issues I've outlined here), it can't get you those new customers all by itself. So be smart, get the best value out of retargeting, and remember to keep some budget aside for acquiring new customers.

Richard, great article! A question and a comment. In section 2, you suggest assigning weights to partner tactics. How do you do that in a non-biased way that avoids turning your biases into self-fulfilling prophecy? And the comment: in section 2, you emphasize that the value of re-targeting is overstated, and other tactics are better. In section 4, you state that retargeting is usually the best performer. While these statements might not be contradictory, I'd like to see more explanation on why they're both true.
(1) Non-biased tactic weighting is all about careful testing. If you do controlled testing then you should be able to weight tactics relative to scale and performance. I know -- very easy to say, harder to do. But it is possible.
(2) Ok, this isn't a contradiction, though I understand how it sounds like one. My point is that, because retargeting could be claiming excess value vs. other tactics, it's excellence might be relatively overstated.
Here's an example: on a particular campaign, you see 5x ROI for retargeting and 2x ROI for tactic X. If you can separate out the retargeting and give all the credit that is due to each tactic, you might learn that retargeting really should be 4.5x ROI, and Tactic X actually delivered 3x. So, retargeting is still the best, just not as much better as you initially thought.
1. Ad delivered by Targeter T drives Visitor V to your site. Logs indicates V has not been on your site in the last x months - your definition of "new" vs returning visitor. V does not convert on this first visit.
Later, Retargeter R's ad sends V back to your site and V converts. Typically, R gets credit while T gets none, even though T found this valuable visitor in the first place.
Successful retargeting? Or the cumulative effect of advertising, which began with awareness? Do T & R share attribution 50-50? Is R worth 70 to T's 30? Is there any objective way to determine attribution?
2. Retargeter R1 pounds Visitor V with high-frequency ads for 72 hours following first exposure. In addition to being wasteful, this may have negative brand impact on V.
Meanwhile, R2 uses predictive models that account for V being in research vs shopping mode and for a longer conversion cycle for the offer in general.
R1 is racing to win attribution, and the consumer be damned. R2 takes a more scientific approach. If V is ever going to convert, R1 is probably going to win due to sheer volume. If V was in research mode early, however, and R2 keeps testing V's interest over a longer period until V is ready to convert, R2 may yet win, assuming the advertiser hasn't already alienated V with all those early ads!
As you point out, much of this is poorly understood, and you really have to test carefully, one at a time. If you don't, there is too much complexity and so many variables that there can never be a satisfactory solution. With relatively few advertisers all chasing the same cookies, everyone is a "retargeter" and attribution seems impossible.

Q: Joining two tables and one attribute being linked to multiple values in the other table I've run into a problem. I am trying to create two tables that are interlinked to each other. The first table is the Vendor table that consists of the vendor name, vendor ID, quotations and the partner name whereas the second table is the quotations table that would consist monthly quotations of each vendor such as
Vendor Table
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vendor ID | Vendor Name | Partner Name | Quotations
1         | XYZ Company | XYZ Partner  | (click to view quotations)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And when we click on "View Quotations" the data should be shown like
Quotations
Vendor Name: XYZ Company
Vendor ID: 1
Partner Name: XYZ Partner
Quotations Table
-----------------------------------------
Quotation No | Month | FILE
1            | Jun   | DOWNLOAD (.PDF)
2            | july  | DOWNLOAD (.PDF)
-----------------------------------------

The problem I'm facing here is to figure out whether LEFT OUTER JOIN will be used or not. I mean if I'm trying to link the vendors table to the quotations table so that a vendor can have multiple quotations.
Secondly, I'm confused about how can I input data in both the tables, an ordinary INSERT INTO doesn't seem to work in this case.

A: You can create an table that make the relationship 'Vendor ID' and 'Quotation No'.
In your query, you want to see vendors without quotations? If this the case, the LEFT JOIN you work (beginning the statement with the vendor table). If not, you can use an INNER JOIN. Anyway, you have to include all this 3 tables in the query.
For the inserts, executing them in each table will work.

D-Vour, Jesus, the name alone is intimidating. So imagine his spit game. The BX born artist grew up in forest projects where he battled his way through the hardships of the hood. That being the struggles trying to make it out and using music to take him out. As a youngin he viewed things a bit different from everyone else. That's why when it comes to his music people might say he's a lot different than everyone else. Part of that difference is due to fact he listened to various types of music growing up. Everything from classical to jazz but in particularly metal and rock.
Drawn into the hip hop world by his older brother, he got exposed to certain rappers that was known for eating their opponents up in battles. Rappers like KRS ONE, Big Daddy Kane and Rakim had that raw persona about them he fell in love with. Down the line he got into the Bone Thugs in Harmony era who which inspired him to start rapping. At the age of 10 is when he wrote his first rap song which was for a school project and guess what he's been writing since. D-Vour has been in a number of battles and ciphers where he has adopted the CandaNime, simply because they say his style seems to be a mixture of Canibus and Eminem with raw vocals and funny but sick word play.
D-Vour is that alternative in his music and in his life. Drawing from years of being in metal bands, D-vour has found ways to create a combination of both rapping and screaming and use it to his advantage; But when it comes down to it, it's all about having a good time and making some good music, for all the weird kids and the loners from the hood that are into different things.
Pushing the limits of Hip Hop and music in general D-vour tries to mix all the genres in a dope gumbo. D-vour's live show is Electric and raw giving it 1000% every time he hits a stage. The future for D-vour is vast and if he keeps with creating new and better projects that the world can enjoy.

Pulis Joins 'Baggies' On Two and a Half Year Deal
Tony Pulis takes over at West Brom
Tony Pulis has been entrusted with reversing West Brom's fortunes to replace Alan Irvine
1 January 2015 14:33 1 January 2015 14:33
Following on from the sacking of Alan Irvine, West Bromhave decided against the highly tipped Tim Sherwood as his replacement but haveinstead opted for a man who knows all about turning a struggling side around,in none other than Tony Pulis. The current Premier League Manager of the Yearis a pragmatic choice with a proven track record of making the most out of theresources available to him and succeeding in the Premier League, as evidencedby his handling of Crystal Palace last season and prior to that with Stoke City.With Palace, he took a side that many had predicted were destined for certain relegationand not only avoided the drop (and the massive financial repercussions thatentails) but hoisted them into mid-table security.
'Baggies' fans will no doubtbe hoping for something similar, after a recent dip in form has left themdangerously close to the bottom three in 16th place and only a pointabove the relegation places. They will also surely seek a period of managerialstability, given that Pulis will be the fourth man in charge at the club in ayear.
Fifty-six year old Pulis has been given the official roleof 'head coach' in a two-and-half-year deal, which to all intents and purposesis an old fashioned manager's post.
He has stipulated within the contractnegotiations that he will have final say on transfers and the players he bringsin, a stance that goes contrary to that in many other clubs these days wherethe manager often has to work with the players he is presented with. Pulisenjoys the 'hands on' approach with his players and feels that is how he getsthe optimum rewards from their abilities, so clearly sought assurances that hewould have ultimate control on who he works with.
In the past he has utilisedfitness coaches but also likes to have some personal involvement on that side,with a strong understanding regarding what fitness is appropriate for playingPremier League Football.
The new man will not take charge of West Bromimmediately, as it is planned for him to pick up the reins after today'sPremier League fixture at high flying West Ham. His imminent task will be toensure his side start picking up points in the league although following onfrom their trip to the Hammers, they have a third round FA Cup tie on Saturdayat home to Gateshead to negotiate before Pulis can start to reverse theirleague form.
He inherits a squad with a nucleus of quality playerssuch as the talented under-21 England international, Saido Berahino, in attackand the experienced ex- Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott in defence.Berahino started the season in sparkling form and merited his selection for thefull national team (although he did not actually play) but has failed to scoreand impress in recent weeks, prompting his removal from the first eleven. Lescott'sform has also dipped below his usual high standards, so Pulis will seek toredress that and get him back to his commanding best at the back. The Januarytransfer window is likely to see West Brom seeking a number of reinforcements,with rumours circulating that Peter Crouch from Stoke and Callum McManaman atWigan will be top of their wish list, although Championship topping Bournemouthalso seem interested in the tricky winger.
Speaking after his appointment, Pulis stated that "everysuccessful club is built on unity and that is what I shall strive to help bringto Albion". Fans of the Midlands club will no doubt echo those sentiments, butthe initial thoughts of many knowledgeable observers is that the Baggies havemade the best choice that they could in the situation they currently findthemselves in.

Syracuse, N.Y. — An Ithaca man was charged Thursday after he was accused of producing three sexually explicit videos with a 10-year-old child, federal prosecutors said.
Remanu Phillips, 31, appeared in federal court on charges that he sexually exploited a child, according to a news release issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York.
He was accused of making the three videos of the child in June of 2019, federal prosecutors said.
Phillips was already registered as a level-2 sexually violent offender, after he was convicted in November of 2019 of first-degree sexual abuse and sexual contact with an individual less than 11 years old, according to the NYS sex offender registry.
He was accused of having sexual contact with a 10-year-old girl multiple times in October of 2019, according to the state sex offender registry. The unnamed victim was a child Phillips knew.
Phillips was sentenced to six months in prison and 10 years of probation for that offense, according to the registry.
If convicted for his most recent charges, Phillips could face a minimum of 15 years and up to 30 years in federal prison, prosecutors said. He could also face a maximum fine of $250,000, and a term of supervised release of five years to life, they said.

Man says Verizon fired him because of back injury
By Cara Bailey | May 8, 2008
CHARLESTON - A Kanawha County man has filed a suit against Verizon after he was fired for missing work due to his back injury.
Tommy Smith filed the suit April 14 in Kanawha Circuit Court against Verizon Services and Darlene Green Higginbotham.
According to the suit, Smith was hired to be a telemarketer at Verizon in August 1999. Prior to his employment, he injured his back in an on-the-job accident. Smith claims he suffered pain in his lower back after starting his job with Verizon. The pain required medical treatment, the suit says.
Smith claims he was diagnosed with herniated disks and spinal stenosis, which required him to miss work periodically.
On April 14, 2006, Smith was fired because of his absences. He claims his absences were due to his back injury, which is protected under the West Virginia Human Rights Act.
In the two-count suit, Smith seeks compensatory and punitive damages.
Attorney Lonnie C. Simmons is representing Smith. The case has been assigned to Judge Charles King.
Kanawha Circuit Court case number 08-C-725

Because this is an opportunity to swim with something that can kill you.
If you've only glimpsed an orca through a Plexiglas window or watched a trainer whistle-command one into false submission inside a concrete stadium, then you haven't really seen an orca. Not until you've stretched your body starfish-style and motionless on the surface of a mountain-fringed fjord and watched one's arching enormity slice through the bottle-green water below, have you seen an orca.
And Andfjord, near the Arctic town of Andenes in Norway's Vesterålen archipelago, is the place to do it. The area has long drawn whale watchers in the summer months to see sperm whales. But in 2012, thanks to the movement of the orcas' lunch — spring-spawning herring — it has now become the top place on the planet to don a mask and snorkel to swim with orcas, December into February.
Recently fed orcas can often be quite curious and allow boats to come close.
Among those you'll be shivering alongside when you head out on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB): world-class underwater photographers and adventurers on weekend getaways from Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. Lofoten Opplevelser is one of a handful of operators in Andenes that puts humans in the water with the giants. A three-hour RIB boat snorkeling tour costs about $244 per person. When the whales are located, "we need to see what kind of behavior they have," explains owner and skipper Rolf Malnes. Orcas that have recently eaten can often be quite curious and allow boats to come close, he adds. Otherwise, they tend to keep their distance.
Snorkelers clad in watertight dry suits, hoods and snorkel masks (fins aren't permitted) sit in the open-air boat, waiting for the "Go!" command to enter the chilly water, which is usually around 36 degrees Fahrenheit, only slightly balmier than the air temperature. The luckiest sighting: orcas herding a bait ball of herring, which they push toward shore and then bat with their tails to stun the fish before eating them, one by one.
"The best thing, when you get in the water, is often just to lay still," says Malnes. In addition to orcas, snorkelers often spot humpbacks and fin whales — the world's second largest whale, at about 78 feet long — which also feed on the herring. And it's precisely this convergence of different species that makes what's happening in Andenes so spectacular, says Sven Gust of Northern Explorers, a tour operator that runs seven-night trips ($3,225 per person) that take guests aboard a former whaling ship, the MS Siøblomsten.
If you're keen to figure that out yourself, plan a visit to Andenes, stat. "Do it in the next two to three years," Gust advises. The herring are a movable feast, changing their feeding habits every 7 to 10 years. And when the fish split, of course, so will the whales.

(AFP) North and South Korea opened a joint liaison office in the Northern city of Kaesong on Friday as they knit closer ties ahead of President Moon Jae-in's visit to Pyongyang next week.
The North was "willing to denuclearize," Moon said Thursday, while the US was willing to "end hostile relations" and provide security guarantees, "but there is a blockage as both sides are demanding each other to act first".
The four-storey building includes separate Northern and Southern offices and a joint conference room, and Seoul's unification ministry said it would become a "round-the-clock consultation and communication channel" for advancing inter-Korean relations, improving ties between the US and the North, and easing military tensions.
It was the first time the businessmen had set foot in Kaesong for more than two years, but the unification ministry said their presence did not mean Seoul was seeking to reopen the park as sanctions were still in effect.


The City of Austin owns properties all over the City and in the surrounding counties, both for specific uses by City departments, as well as public uses such as parks and recreation. The Office of Real Estate Services is the single point of contact for citizen inquiries about any particular property owned by the City.
Mashell Smith, Land Management Real Estate Supervisor, City of Austin, is the direct contact person for any and all questions about the City of Austin property inventory or the status of a particular piece of City-owned property. You may reach her via e-mail or at (512) 974-7079.
The quickest and most versatile way to search and identify current City-owned property is using the Property Profile GIS Viewer, which allows you to highlight all City-owned parcels of land, zoom in and out on the map, and click on each parcel for a variety of additional property information. A guide to searching City-owned properties on the GIS Viewer is available here. To make the best use of the full range of tools and information available from this Viewer, please click on the Help tab in the viewer if you need assistance. Please note that the data in this viewer is not updated automatically or in real-time, and the City of Austin makes no warranty regarding the specific accuracy or completeness of this data.
The City's Open Data Initiative includes an aerial map and data set of City-owned properties managed by ORES based on ORES property inventory documents from 2008. Unlike the GIS Viewer, this map does not outline the boundaries of each parcel.
You may also view this matching table from 2008 listing City-owned properties managed by the Office of Real Estate Services (PDF, 200 KB), including property address, size of the parcel of land, Travis Central Appraisal District ID number, and a City map grid number (e.g., "M23") which corresponds to a location within the City zoning grid. (The grid is found both on the Development GIS Viewer, and on a PDF map (4.1 MB) produced by the City GIS and Maps Department.) The corresponding map book is also available for download, though due to its size (over 400 pages) it is split into 5 separate PDF documents: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5. Because of the document size and lack of update, the online map resources are more useful for reference.

Peter Crouch was hesitant to suggest a draw at Preston was progress for Stoke City.
Stoke have two points from their opening three games in the Championship as they try to get back to the Premier League as soon as possible.
They came from behind twice at Deepdale thanks to goals from Erik Pieters and Crouch himself and Crouch was happier with the character, if not necessarily the result.
"A little bit," he said, when asked by Sky Sports if it was a step in the right direction.
Crouch scored the 200 goal of his career in senior English football with the back of his head. It was his first touch after coming off the bench.
He said: "I knew what I was doing! I was trying to get anything on it to get it towards goal.
"I believe I can make a big contribution, whether it's from the bench or starting games.
Preston's Ben Pearson, who had been believed to have been on Stoke's radar over the summer, admitted a draw was a fair result.
The midfielder, who was named man of the match, said: "I think it was about right. In the first half we were probably the better side and created numerous chances but lacked that final bit of quality. In the second half they were on top of us a little bit more. We still had chances but a draw is probably a fair result.
"We know we're going to face problems when you've got someone who's 6ft 7in up front. We practised in the week in case that scenario happened but sometimes someone gets the better of your defence and you just have to take it.

POLICE REFUTE OF KILLING EDSA STAFF
SLAJ Commends Judiciary of Sierra Leone
The Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) welcomes and applauds the decision of the Judiciary of Sierra Leone to allow, for the first time in its entire history, the national broadcaster (SLBC) to enter the courtroom with their cameras and tape recorders and report live on the proceedings.
For this privilege to start at the Supreme Court, the highest Court in the land, during delivery of a landmark judgment on Election Petition, is in itself not only worthy of commendation but gives an indication of the new thinking of the country's justice system.
"This as a huge boost to freedom of the media to bring important information to the people; and the promotion of transparency and accountability in the dispensation of justice," said SLAJ President, Ahmed Sahid Nasralla.
Furthermore, SLAJ wishes to appreciate Chief Justice Desmond Babatunde Edwards for his leadership in adopting this policy, and the role played by the Director-General of the SLBC, Joseph Egbenda Kapuwa Esq., (who is one of us) in convincing the Judiciary to open up to the public.
Meanwhile, SLAJ and its affiliate body the Sierra Leone Court Reporters Association (SLCRA), who have also been lobbying the leadership of the Judiciary in this regard, hope that the privilege will not only stop with this election petition ruling, and should be extended to other media houses.
Kailahun Resident Judge Sentences Mother For Trafficking Daughter
Judiciary of Sierra Leone Communications, Luawa Chiefdom in Kailahun Town, Thursday, 22nd April, 2020: The resident High Court judge of Kailahun District, Hon. Justice Francis Banks-Kamara, has sentenced Satta Vandy and her brother for child trafficking contrary law.
Accused Satta Vandy, the mother of the victim, her mate-Hawa Bockarie and her brother-Nabieu Vandy were before the Kailahun District High Court Judge to answer to two counts of child trafficking and conspiracy contrary to section 2 (1) of the Anti-Human Trafficking Act of 2005. According to the particulars of offence, the accused persons on the 8th day of October, 2020 at Pendembu town in the Upper Bambara chiefdom, Kailahun District in the eastern province of the Republic of Sierra Leone trafficked Jattu Vandy.
The 1st accused Satta Vandy and 3rd accused Nabieu Vandy pleaded guilty. The 2nd accused, step-mother to the victim pleaded not guilty.
After the plea in mitigation by the 1st and 3rd accused, Justice Banks-Kamara said he has never come across such a mother like accused Satta Vandy who was so wicked to take her biological daughter for sale.
"Child trafficking is an offence under our law," said Justice Banks-Kamara, noting that it is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, kidnapping of a child for the purpose of slavery, forced labor and exploitation.
In his judgement, the Hon. Judge sentenced the1st accused Satta Vandy to five years imprisonment and the 3rd accused Nabieu Vandy sentenced to four years imprisonment.
The judge ordered that the alleged purchaser, Sopheana, should appear before him. He also ordered the Exhibit Officer at the Kailahun police division to appear before him and produce the motorcycle that was reportedly used to transport the accused.
He ordered that the Officer in Command (Kargbo) at the Pendembu police and wife of the Paramount chief, Madam Lucy Gordon, who was the first point of contact should also appear during the next Court session in May, 2021.
Meanwhile, bail was granted to the 2nd accused.
NEW U.S AMBASSADOR PAYS COURTESY CALL ON ACC COMMISSIONER
The new Ambassador of the United States of America to Sierra Leone, David Reimer, paid a courtesy call on the Commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Commission of Sierra Leone, Francis Ben Kaifala, at his 3 Gloucester Street Office in Freetown, earlier today, Wednesday 21st April, 2021.
The purpose of the Ambassador's visit was to meet with the recently awarded International Anti-Corruption Champion by the US Government and to consolidate the already existing ties between his Embassy and the ACC as a key driver within the governance architecture of Sierra Leone. They also discussed the vision and drive of the ACC, the focus in the next few years, and how the US Government can continue supporting the great work that the ACC is doing.
In his statement, Ambassador Reimer congratulated Commissioner Kaifala for his recent recognition by the U.S State Department as "International Anti-Corruption Champion", and encouraged him, on behalf of the Government of the United States of America, to continue doing more. Ambassador Reimer admonished the Commissioner and team to remain steadfast in the fight against corruption, as it is currently producing great results for the country.Â
He assured of his Government's continued support to the ongoing fight against corruption, adding that the fight benefits both Sierra Leone and US interests within the framework of the Biden administration and going forward.
In his response, the Commissioner of the ACC, Francis Ben Kaifala, expressed deep appreciation for the visit of the Ambassador and his team, stressing the need for increased cooperation and support of the US Government, through the Embassy, in the effort to ensure conscientious and lasting corruption control in Sierra Leone. He updated the Ambassador and team on the work, aspirations, current investigations and other activities of the ACC and thanked them for their continued valuable support in ensuring a strong campaign against corruption with visible impact and results. The Commissioner also outlined the challenges that the work of the Commission is faced with, including limited resources, capacity constraints, toxic socio-political environment, etc.; but hastened to add that the Commission will continue doing its very best to keep producing results notwithstanding those challenges.
The former Fulbright Scholar ended by expressing further appreciation to the U.S State Department for his recent recognition as an "International Anti-Corruption Champion" which was as a result of the remarkable and result-oriented Anti-corruption campaign that is being led in Sierra Leone, and assured the Ambassador that, "such prestigious recognition will only further inspire me to continue to do more for the country." He also thanked the United States Government for choosing Sierra Leone as a worthy qualifier for the Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact, which positions the country to benefit from resources that could be helpful in addressing critical development needs of citizens.
The United States of America and Sierra Leone share strong bilateral and diplomatic ties that dates back to 1959, when the First U. S Consulate was officially opened in Sierra Leone; which was later elevated to the status of an Embassy following the attainment of Independence in 1961 of Sierra Leone from the British.
 PIH To Construct Maternal Centre in Kono
With a clear vision of reducing maternal and child mortality in Kono District and Sierra Laone in general, Partners in Health (PIH) has, in collaboration with the Ministries of Technical & Higher Education (MTHE) and Health & Sanitation (MoHS) on 23rd April, 2021, turned the sod for the construction and operationalization of a Maternal Health Centre of Excellence (MCoE) in Kono District.
The event, which attracted a host of Government Officials, Members of Parliament, International and Local Stakeholders, was in a bid to enhance the expansion of Koidu Government Hospital with a state-of-the-art 166 bed women and children's teaching hospital.
The project was jointly funded by Partners in Health (PIH) and Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) with an investment of $18.2 million and $6.8 million respectively.
Representing the Minister of Technical and Higher Education (Prof. Alpha Wurie), the Chief Technical and Higher Education Officer in the Ministry of Technical and Higher Education, Dr. Josephus Brimah, expressed his heartfelt delight for such a laudable venture that will not only impact on the lives of the people of Kono but also of the people of Sierra Leone health-wise.
He noted that MTHE has had series of discussions regarding the need to have this proposed institution of excellence be recognised as a provider of requisite training in the medical profession, adding the Ministry's readiness to work with other state institutions in achieving Sustainable Development Goals SDGs 3 and 4 which deal with "good health & well-being and quality education" respectively.
According to Dr. Brimah, MTHE intends to include and recognise the proposed Centre of Excellence in the newly drafted University Bill 2021, with an expectation that the proposed institution will, in future, stand tall in Sierra Leone's educational sector.

VILLANOVA, Pa. — When you coach 30 seasons at the same school, win a national championship and spend 35 years overall as a head coach, panic doesn't easily set in.
The multitude of experiences logged by Andy Talley and his veteran staff translated into a sense of calm and determination Saturday evening at Villanova Stadium when the Villanova Wildcats found themselves trailing Liberty 13-0 in the second quarter and 22-14 after three periods.
And it ultimately proved the confidence that resulted in a 29-22 victory that vaulted fifth-ranked Villanova into the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
Playing through a steady rain that made conditions miserable throughout the game, the Wildcats struck for two fourth-quarter touchdowns and overcame four turnovers to overcome the talented Flames, who were playing just their second playoff game ever.
Junior quarterback/miracle worker John Robertson hit Kevin Gulyas on a 70-yard scoring strike less than two minutes in the final period, converted a two-conversion run on almost sure will and capped a brilliant, 18-play, 84-yard drive on his one-yard scoring dash with 1:12 remaining to orchestrate the victory.
"We turned the ball over uncharacteristically," said Talley. "You have to be special to overcome that."
On a day more suited to Noah and his Ark, rather than college football, Talley, Robertson and company illustrated again that the prevailing theme of the playoffs is survive and advance.
Just as three-time defending national champion North Dakota State showed in its second-round playoff win Saturday at home against gritty South Dakota State, you don't get extra credit for style points.
As former Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis so often said, just win, baby.
The victory earned Talley a surprising reunion this Saturday with longtime Delaware adversary K.C. Keeler, whose Sam Houston State Bearkats scored their second straight win against a higher-ranked opponent by beating No. 3 seeded Jacksonville State on the road.
In other second-round playoff action, top-seeded New Hampshire crushed Fordham, No. 4 Eastern Washington won a rematch with Montana, No. 5 Illinois State avenged its only loss of the season by toppling Northern Iowa, No. 7 Coastal Carolina drilled Richmond and No. 8 Chattanooga — playing its first postseason game in almost 30 years torched — torched Indiana State.
Villanova can earn a likely trip to North Dakota State and the deafeningly-loud Fargo Dome by beating Sam Houston State in a game this writer had long thought would have made for an excellent FCS title showdown.
The Bison will have to survive a visit from Coastal Carolina on Saturday for the second year in a row to set that up.
In other quarterfinal action, New Hampshire hosts Chattanooga on Friday night and Eastern Washington entertains Illinois State on Saturday on the other side of the draw.
At some point, nearly every championship team finds itself at a point of crisis against playoff-caliber competition. And success comes from digging deep enough to find a way to win.
"We did it at Syracuse (where the Wildcats came from behind several times, lost a chance for a win over an FBS opponent when a chip shot field goal was missed at the end of regulation and lost in double overtime when a two-point conversion was stopped), we did it at William & Mary and we did it at Delaware," Talley said. "At this point of the season it has become part of our DNA."
One of the keys to the game was how the Villanova defense responded when it had it backs up against its own goal line and it forced Liberty to settle for three John Lunsford field goals, sited of giving up touchdowns.
"That was huge," said Villanova linebacker Don Cherry, who had six tackles and two tackles for loss as part of that unified, team effort. "It really helped our confidence."
One of the key plays of the game occurred in the second quarter with Liberty already leading 10-0 and threatening to turn the contest into a TKO.
On third and goal from the five, Liberty coach Turner Gill reached into a time capsule and raced down the sidelines, resembling the All-American quarterback he once was at Nebraska to call a late time out.
But instead of trying to get the ball to Darrin Peterson, an NFL-caliber receiver, Gill called for quarterback Josh Woodrum to run an option play that brough back memories of Tom Osborne's old Nebraska I-Formation.
Woodrum was crushed by defensive tackle Pat Williams and defensive end Noble Ajakaiye for a one-yard loss to force another Lunsford field goal.
Instead of leading by what might have been an insurmountable 17 points, the Flames left it as a two-possession game.
And it did take long for Villanova to come storming back.
An 87-yard connection between Robertson and Gulyas — the longest pass play in Villanova history — set up Robertson's three-yard touchdown plunge.
Then, Liberty returnman Alpha Jalloh, who had set up Woodrum's first Liberty touchdown with a game-opening, 64-yard burst, made an ill-advised decision to take the kickoff in this 13-7 contest out of his end zone.
Jalloh was hit by Rasaan Stewart and fumbled. T.J. White recovered for Villanova at the Flame 16.
Back-up tailback Austin Medley needed four consecutive carries from the Wildcats' spread attack to bang into the end zone for the tying score and Chris Gough's extra point gave Villanova its first lead at 14-3.
A questionable call — one of several curious replay decisions in this game — when Robertson appeared to be passing was turned into a 58-yard fumble return touchdown by Nick Newman to provide Liberty with a 19-14 halftime advantage.
But the Villanova defense came up big again to stop Woodrum's two-point pass attempt and it held Liberty to just three points on a short-field, 45-yard drive in the third period.
The second long pass completion from Robertson to Gulyas gave the Wildcats the touchdown it needed to pull within striking distance and Robertson's two-pointer tied it.
The final, winning drive came down to Villanova's offensive line dominating Liberty on zone read plays and Kevin Monangai (20 carries, 102 yards) tearing the heart out of the Flames with 47 yards rushing on the 18-play, 84-yard march to set up Robertson's game-winning TD.
Robertson said the Wildcats knew they were wearing down the Liberty defense and had confidence at the end.
"The drive before that, we were moving it and I fumbled," Robertson said. "We had to step it up. We pulled together."
Villanova's defense then took care of business in the final minute to complete a gutsy win.
"This is not the most talented team we have had," Talley said. "We've had six 10-win teams. The national championship team (in 2009) was much more talented."
Talley called Liberty the best team that Villanova had played this season and felt fortunate to be playing at home, where the Wildcats have lost only once in postseason play.
"The name of the game is to be home for the playoffs," said Talley. "We could have been on a plane to Alabama."
Instead, the Wildcats earned the right to play at home at least one more time this season.

Every 10 years states get the chance to redraw boundaries for their congressional and legislative districts. The change is supposed to reflect the views of the ever-changing population so that everyone is represented fairly. However, over the years legislators from both parties have found ways to take advantage of it.
Redrawing districts based on population started way back with George Washington and the Apportionment Act of 1792. It said that US Representatives would be apportioned to their states following each census. It also stated that districts must be equally populated, contiguous and compact. One hundred and thirty-seven years later the Reapportionment Act of 1929 got rid of size and population requirements. It didn't take long after that for those in charge to find ways to start manipulating the law to fit their needs.
Because each district is won by a majority, basic principle was and still is to waste votes by packing excess votes needed to win into one area. By moving geographic lines, those in power concentrate the opposition into a few areas so the state's overall number of districts will favor incumbents.
The term Gerry-mander was first used by the Boston Gazette in reference to Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts. In 1812, he redrew state senate election districts to benefit his party (the Democratic-Republican Party). The name supposedly was a combination of his last name and the shape of the new district which resembled a salamander. Thus Gerry-mander, which later was shortened to gerrymander.
Approximately half of all US states leave redistricting responsibilities up to their legislatures. Twelve states currently determine redistricting by independent committees. Michigan which voted in favor of Proposal 2 last November is set to become number 13. It's currently in the process of taking names for the 13 positions on the council. Four of the positions will be held by democrats, 4 by republicans, and 5 by independents. The members will be chosen by a random drawing later this year. Five eastern states (Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia use independent councils too, however their legislatures have final control over the committees' plans.
The trend toward bipartisan or independent redistricting committees is often attributed to the public's growing distrust of government and political agendas. In addition to fairness and leveling the playing field, restoring public faith in the system is often cited as reason for the moves.
When states can't come to a consensus on redistricting it often falls to state or even federal courts to resolve such disputes. Two such cases, Rucho v. Common Cause a complaint about Republican gerrymandering in North Carolina and Lamone v. Benisek a Democratic gerrymandering case out of Maryland are set to be heard by the US Supreme Court this March. The cases could potentially set precedent for drawing fair congressional maps as early as next year.
Join us Friday February 15, 2019 at 7 pm (and again Feb 17 at 2 pm and Feb 18 at 5pm) for a special edition of Politically Speaking on Redistricting and Gerrymandering.

Q: VB.NET Loop through DataGridView rows and update a value in the row based on 2 conditions what im trying to do is loop through the rows and update the sales rate based on 2 conditions. 1 condition is a value from a column in the same row and the 2nd condition is from a text label. But the result im getting is that changes don't take effect or get updated until a new row is added in the datagridview. here is my code so far any help would be greatly appreciated.
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellValueChanged(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellValueChanged
Try
    If DataGridView1.Rows.Count > 0 Then
        If txtTaxType.Text = "Inclusive" Then
            con = New SqlConnection(cs)
            con.Open()
            Dim ct As String = "select PRate,PQty,BottleDeposit from product where PID=@d1 and POffer='Yes'"
            cmd = New SqlCommand(ct)
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@d1", Val(DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("PID").Value))
            cmd.Connection = con
            rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()
            If rdr.Read() Then
                Dim BValue = rdr.GetValue(2)
                Dim PromoRate = rdr.GetValue(0)
                Dim PromoQty = Val(rdr.GetValue(1))
                For Each row As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows
                    If Val(DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("Qty").Value) >= PromoQty Then
                        DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("SalesRate").Value = PromoRate
                    End If
                    If lblpromo.Text >= 0.2 And Val(DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("BD").Value) = BValue Then
                        row.Cells("SalesRate").Value = PromoRate
                    End If
                Next
            End If
            con.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try

End Sub
I have tried to remove the Try/Catch to see any code errors but nothing showing in the debugger. so im guessing code is just missing something to help it fire the changes automatically.

A: try to use CellEndEdit event instead
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellEndEdit(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellEndEdit

So, where exactly does the blue raspberry come from? Well, the answer lies in a classic American treat - ice pops. Back in the 60s and 70s, ice pops exploded in popularity and included flavors like cherry, strawberry, raspberry and watermelon. The problem was that all of those fruits share the same color red, making them hard to distinguish from one another. Some companies opted to make each fruit flavor a different shade of red, but it was soon discovered that most affordable pink and dark red dyes available were actually banned by the FDA for being carcinogenic. Someone thought of the brilliant idea to dye their raspberry ice pops blue. It was claimed that this was based on the Rubus leucodermis, known as the "Whitebark Raspberry" or "Blue Raspberry." It didn't matter that dye was totally different than the color of the actual fruit. The idea stuck and it's been with us ever since. Try our Blue Raspberry Natural Flavor today!

The literature search identified 9081 potentially eligible studies. Inclusion criteria were met by nine papers (from seven trials) with 385 participants. There was the significant short-term difference in pain, with moderate quality evidence for a small effect size of -0.27 (-0.54 to -0.05) in favour of painful exercises. No significant difference was seen for pain in the medium and long-term, and function and disability in the short, medium and long-term.
Findings of the study revealed that protocols which were under painful exercises showed a small but significant benefit over pain-free exercises in the short term, with the moderate quality of evidence. But in medium and long-term the superiority of one treatment over another was not clear.
Further research is necessary to completely evaluate the effectiveness of loading and resistance programmes into pain for chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

Banpo Neolithic Village
Reviews on Banpo Neolithic Village
Visitor 1: "Highly Underated attraction"
Admittedly I am a history nut, but the excavation of the Banpo Neolithic village in Xi'an was an extremely enjoyable stop for me. It is almost entirely inside and air conditioned, which made a pleasant break on a warm day. But it is also an example of a remarkably well preserved (and well exhibited) neolithic settlement. It was all the more enjoyable for being a slightly unexpected pleasure.
Visitor 2: "Now that's history"
Banpo Neolithic Village was very impressive, and well presented. It was just amazing, going back to 4500 – 3750 BC. Their social organisation and skills with pottery was awesome.
Visitor 3: "Banpo Neolithic Village – a site that amazes"
Banpo is a huge Neolithic Village that existed beneath modern-day Xi'an. Part of what is called the "Yangshao Culture," the museum is built over the open excavation of the site. You can see post-holes, the shape of the houses, a moat, kilns, hearths, and a few pottery vessels in situ, with recovered skeletons, & secondary burial pots off in a side room. There is a museum with life-sized representations of the Banpo people, examples of weaving, pottery, household items, and more.
As anthropologists, we found this exhibit extremely interesting. We spent, perhaps 3 hours here. It's an easy taxi ride from the center of Xi'an and well-worth the visit.
Visitor 4: "Very Interesting"
It's a bit more "raw" than the terracotta warriors in terms of a tourist development, and we visited with a guide (see Alex tours) which helped provide anything that was missing in terms of English commentary. That said, it would have been perfectly enjoyable had we visited alone. What I personally love seeing is how similar it is to similarly-aged settlements in the UK, despite the 8000 miles difference! I would definitely recommend putting this on any itinerary visiting Xi'an.
Visitor 5: "Make It Your First Stop"
on the way to Terra-Cotta warriors… It is in the same direction as the warriors museum, and is quite an interesting augmentation to your visit to Xi'an. We enjoyed the pavilion that encloses the archaeological dig.
Visitor 6: "Don't Miss This"
A 6000 year old excavation including remnants of huts, layout of the "village," and skeletal remains (Fossilized?) with burial items. This is low key and not as grand as seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors or, say, the Great Wall in Beijing, but this village is one of my strongest memories of my first trip to China.
Visitor 7: "Don't Miss This Gem"
For me this was really an amazing place that should be on everyone's itinerary! This is a museum constructed over the archeological excavation of a neolithic village. You can see the actual site of the village, the way the houses were constructed, the way people were buried. There is also a great museum about neolithic China. This was very well done and we enjoyed it immensely!
Visitor 8: "Banpo Museum-Very Enlightening and Educational Visit"
Banpo Village existed some 6,000 years ago near Xi'an in the Shaanxi Province of China. I'm glad to have included this site in our itinerary after visiting Terracotta Warriors in the morning.
The video showing how the huts were constructed thousands of years ago is really amazing. I'm also able to look up my ancestor in the Surname Culture Museum.
Visitor 9: "Pretty Cool"
First off, why is this under "nightlife?"
The museum is a rather interesting look at ancient Chinese culture, that dates back to 6000 years ago (according to the tour guide). The museum consists of several areas displaying the remains of the house foundation, pottery, and skeletal remains. When you're leaving the museum, on your left, is a new room where u can find all the Chinese family names and your ancestor's plaque. That was pretty cool too. Visitor 10: "Highly Recommend This Historical Site" We found this one of the highlights of our tour to Xi'an. It was so interesting how communities would live and exist together; the history was mind-boggling. So glad we added this to our list of places to go in Xi'an. And our kids found it really interesting too which is always a good thing.


This soundtrack is so good it's impeding my progress through the game. I just gotta stop and enjoy this.
I never thought I would be saying this but I think this album may top the Bastion soundtrack which is saying A LOT. I think this one is just easier to listen to the whole way through whereas there are a few songs I prefer to skip on Bastion. Download this album. You won't be disappointed.
So I'm a little disappointed because for the same price on Supergiant's website, you can buy the digital version of this and it comes with additional bonus tracks, which are all of the tracks with Ashley Barrett humming in them. I don't know why it isn't offered on iTunes.

you'll see a different selection than you do at 8 p.m. the day before.
the blizzard of yesterday is nothing but calm today.
and we have another chance to make something with our hands and of ourselves.
So yesterday I attended the 3rd Annual Anishnabe Artist Gathering and Art Show held at the Nbisiing Secondary School on the Nipissing First Nation over there next to North Bay, Ontario. I walked into the place wondering how big a deal they had going and it was a full house with at least 20 artists on hand with their work displayed. I lucked out as the dude next to me turned out to be none other than the great Leland Bell of Wikwemikong. It was good to see him again and chat it up and of course Leland's partner was there and she is a grand lady to chat with. The three of us go back to 1995 and the beginning of the rock and roll band: No Reservations.
Top of the bill in the music department was a gang of boys who, as far as I know, hail from Wiki, and were doing the Johnny Cash tribute gig. Now I'm not a big Johnny Cash fan nor am I fan of that type of music but one thing is for certain: those boys had the gig down rock solid. They were a good outfit. Tight. Clean. And their front man, dressed head to toe in black, had the vocal chops completely at 100%. That vocalist doing the Johnny C. tunes was better than Johnny C. doing the Johnny C. tunes. That's how great this guy was. Where for most of the afternoon excepting Leland, I had my ears plugged and wanted to run to the washroom and throw up, this Johnny Cash thing owned the place and was actually entertaining. First time for me hearing them, and I will say this much: if those boys can keep it together and keep their noses away from the fuzzy lines, they are going to do alright.
Awesome vocalist doing the Johnny Cash tribute gig.
That Johnny Cash tribute band was amazing. They are going to have a great time in show business if they keep that up.
So I folded up my rock show around 6 and hit the open road for home, 3 hours behind the wheel. I rolled back onto the range around 11 and found the ladies safely tucked away, fire blazing, and the super pitch black out every window. Not a bad day at the office!
I had the pleasure of seeing these pieces once again! Painted in Ottawa and shipped to Toronto where they've been since 08. I've seen the basic sketches in ball point pen in an old sketch book lying around out here and like them so it was nice to see them in actual.
Acrylic on Gallery Canvas, using black and white only.
Here is a blast from the past! And fresh in from a 28 year run, hanging at the Ranch. I made this woodcut in art school! This one is 6 of 6. Where the others are I have no idea. I remember print making class, playing around with making these woodcuts and having a good time with it. Never made any more after they cut us loose back in April 1987.
Art school wood cut, 1987.
Actual image size is around 9×12 inches. I wonder what happened to the rest of the prints and what happened to the other images, I think I made a half dozen cuts. Who knows!!! Lost!
Old photos from ages ago!
Aanii! Boozhoo and Hello there! I hope you're warm and cozy on this winter afternoon. We are doing very well out here. Outside the wind is filled with teeth! Inside the fire is blazing full, there is a turkey in the oven, an Australian chardonnay in the cooling, and some funny old polaroids from what must be 1995, sitting on the kitchen table.
That's me and Norm on the movie set. The make up gals had us done up full serve and the director called us up as we had long hair that was real! We weren't the lads to be wearing wigs!
Truth is it was a lot of fun. We lucked out. Norm and I missed getting in the van on that first morning. So we sat in the lodge waiting for a call. We heard the director calling over the radio for a bunch of fresh indians for a special scene. So we went down to the set and the director looked at us, then looked at Shelly who was standing next to me (he was a short haired Ojibwe) and said: That's a wig right? Shell says Yeah man. So the director said to me and Norm, you boys come with me. And off we went into movie history.
I was at my mom's house in Mindemoya yesterday, gathering up all the things we had stashed in the storage rooms. These two polaroids were some of the gems I hadn't seen in ages. I had to share them with you.
Actually that bear painting I believe is a 30×40 inch canvas. Nice work though! I hadn't seen them in awhile and enjoyed seeing them once again! Cube Gallery has a few others in the collection so just ask the folks at the front desk if you want a close up look at them. Also, if you're around in February they have a Daphne Odjig show booked with the opening on Feb. 8th. Definitely worth a look and possibly a chance to meet one of the famed "Indian Group of Seven" painters, if she's on hand at the open house.
