MARTHA SASINOSKI AND DAUGHTER SEE FANTASTIC SHOW!
I received the two photos above, the nice "mother-with- daughter-and-Dave-with-Gibson-Les-Paul" photo to the left, and the photo below from Martha Sasinoski.
The attached photo's are from the Wheeling WV show on 7/5/09. My daughter and I had the pleasure of having our photo's taken with REO for the I Love All Access. I think you asked my daughter if she was 12, she got a kick out of that, because she is actually 18- same difference though. Anyways, I thought that you might like the pics, I know we do!! The concert was fantastic; we catch it every year that you guys are close to Pittsburgh, Pa, and can't wait until you roll through a venue near us again. Until then, stay Healthy & Keep on Rockin!!
Very cool photos and nice story Martha. Seeing that photo of you ... your daughter ... and Dave with the Les Paul Guitar ... I've got to say that this has hit a soft spot in my big rockin' REO heart!
Glad to hear you had a fantastic time.
Yes ... I agree it does not matter if you are 12 or 18; it's the same difference ... especially at the REO show.
Above is an actual photo of Einstein and as you can see ... he has written the "R" and "O" and has nearly figured out the theory. He just needed to add the "E" in the middle in order to make it REO! He was so close!
Well ... since he is no longer with us ... we REO fans, go to the show, and discover the theory for ourselves. Einstein would have been proud of us ... and no doubt an REO Speedwagon fan if he were with us today.
... and 18 is a pretty cool age to be ... at the REO Speedwagon show.

Work without a Work Permit
A number of situations may occur when an individual can perform work in Canada without needing to secure a Temporary Work Permit.
An individual who is eligible to work without a work permit may still require a Temporary Resident Visa to enter Canada on a temporary basis.
The following scenarios have been identified as instances where foreign nationals may perform work in Canada without a work permit:
Business Visitors
Foreign Representatives and their Family Members
Foreign Government Officers
American Cross-Border Maritime Law Enforcement Officers
In-Flight Security Officers
Athletes and Team Members
News Reporters, Media Crews
Convention Organizers
Judges, Referees, and Similar Officials
Examiners and Evaluators
Expert Witnesses and Investigators
Health Care Students
Civil Aviation Inspectors
Aviation or Accident Investigators
Emergency Service Providers
Implied Status
This broad category facilitates entry for individuals who engage in business or trade activities in Canada but will not enter the Canadian labour market. There are a number of subdivisions under this category, but all business visitors must meet the following general criteria:
There must be no intent to enter the Canadian labour market (there will be no gainful employment in the country);
The worker's activity in Canada must be international in scope (it is assumed that a business visitor will engage in cross-border activity of some sort);
For business visitors in Canada working for a foreign employer, the following criteria are assumed:
The primary source of the worker's compensation is outside of Canada
The principal place of employment is located outside of Canada
The employer's profits are accrued outside of Canada
When traveling to Canada, business visitors should be prepared to present immigration officials with documentation that attests to their desired status in Canada. This documentation will vary on a case-by-case basis. Often, items such as a letter of support from a parent company or letter of invitation from a Canadian company can help to bolster one's likelihood of acceptance as a business visitor.
Business visitors may fall into the following sub-categories:
After-sales service providers may come to Canada to repair, service, supervise installers, and set up and test commercial or industrial equipment. Such services must be detailed in the contract of sale for the equipment in Canada. Individuals coming to Canada to train prospective users or maintenance staff in the operation of specialized equipment may also fall under this category.
Members of a board of directors who must enter Canada to attend a meeting are eligible to do so as business visitors. Though these individuals may be remunerated for their time in Canada, this does not constitute entry into the Canadian labour market.
Employees of Short-Term Temporary Residents
Individuals who are employed in a personal capacity, on a full-time basis, by temporary residents in Canada may be considered business visitors. An example of professions that may be eligible under this category include domestic servants, personal assistants or live-in caregivers. If the short-term temporary resident, and subsequently their employee(s), extends their stay past 6 months, a Labour Market Impact Assessment and Work Permit may need to be secured for the employee(s).
Employees of Foreign Companies Contracting Canadian Companies
Situations arise in which foreign companies contract Canadian companies to provide services in Canada. In such a situation, the foreign company may wish to send one or more employees to Canada to ensure that the work is being carried out in a way that pleases the foreign company.
If an employee of a foreign company is sent to Canada for this purpose, they may be considered a business visitor provided they fulfill the following criteria:
They remain an employee of the foreign company;
They remain on the payroll of the foreign company;
The foreign company remains the beneficiary of the employee's efforts; and
The foreign company's principal place of business remains outside of Canada.
A business visitor in this category may remain in Canada for up to two years.
Foreign representatives, as well as their personal staff and family members, may work in Canada without a work permit. Foreign representatives should be accredited by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). Diplomatic representatives to United Nations offices in Canada are also covered by this exception.
Family members of foreign representatives must receive a 'no objection letter' by the Protocol Department of DFAIT in order to work without a work permit.
Military and civilian personnel in Canada under the auspices of the Visiting Forces Act may work and study without permits. The families of these individuals are also covered by these exemptions.
In addition, military personnel are exempt from requirements for a passport, from a temporary resident visa, and from foreign national medical examinations. Civilians and family members are still required to obtain these documents, if necessary.
Canada is party to agreements with other countries that call for international exchange of government employees. Through such agreements, foreign workers may be brought to Canada to work for a department or agency in either the federal or provincial government(s). These individuals do not work for a foreign mission or organization, and are not accredited by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT).
Officers working in this capacity at an executive level require a contract from Canada's Public Service Commission (PSC). Officers working below an executive capacity do not require a contract, though assignments lasting longer than three months should include a formal letter of agreement between the officer and their Canadian employer.
Family members of officers covered under this exemption will generally be issued an open work permit or be exempted from the requirement for a permit while in Canada.
Some cross-border law enforcement vessels are staffed by joint Canadian and American crews. These individuals work on both sides of the US/Canada border. When in Canadian territory, American crew members may fulfill their job duties without the need to secure further work authorization.
In-Flight Security Officers (IFSOs)
Foreign IFSOs are designated by foreign governments to enforce safety on foreign aircrafts. Because they are designated by a foreign government, they may work in Canada without a work permit provided that their duties do not extend beyond providing security onboard a foreign aircraft.
IFSOs from countries that require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter Canada must secure this visa in order to perform their duties in Canadian airspace.
A student is eligible to work on-campus at their institution of study if they meet one of the following criteria:
They hold a valid study permit; and
They are a full-time student at one of the following types of schools:
A public post-secondary institution (i.e. college or university) or a collège d'enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP)
A college-level private institution in Quebec
A Canadian private institution authorized to confer degress
On-campus work authorization is valid for the duration of the study permit, provided the student remains in full-time studies. Employment may cover a range of standard jobs on campus. For institutions with multiple campuses, students may consider their work 'on-campus' if it takes place at a campus within the same municipality. An individual attending an institution with campuses in different cities is restricted to working on-campus in their city of residence.
Individuals working as research or teaching assistants off-campus as part of a research grant may be considered on-campus workers. The student must also fulfill the following additional criteria:
Be recommended by their academic department;
The work to be performed must be directed by a department head or faculty member; and
The work must take place in a research institute or program in an affiliated hospital or other research location.
Many foreign performing artists may work in Canada without a work permit. However, some types of performers/performances require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and Work Permit.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly CIC) has outlined some common performers/performances and their immigration requirements:
Entry Without a Work Permit
Work Permit and LMIA Required
Bands performing at bars, pubs, restaurants, etc Actors, singers, crew, etc in Canadian theatrical productions, shows, circuses
Foreign-based musical and theatrical individuals and groups and their essential crew, working outside bars and restaurants Individuals involved in making films, TV, internet or radio broadcasts
Street performers (buskers), DJs working outside a bar, restaurant or similar establishment Individuals who will be in an employment relationship with the organization or business contracting for their services in Canada
A foreign or traveling circus Performers in a Canadian-based production or show
Guest artists (not employed) within a Canadian performance group for a time-limited engagement Rodeo performers or side show workers (e.g., rodeo clowns and announcers, horsemanship or trick riding displays, 'half-time acts' and other specialty act entertainers)
Persons performing at a private event, such as a wedding
Artists attending or working at a showcase/workshop; which may include competing, judging competitors, demonstrating their skill, holding a class related to the showcase/workshop
Wrestlers from the World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE) (and similar groups)
Air show performers
In addition to the above-mentioned scenarios, certain performers may work in Canada without a work permit under different sub-categories. They are:
Film producers (business visitors)
Film and recording studio users (business visitors)
Persons doing guest spots on Canadian TV and radio broadcasts (Guest speakers)
Guest artists who have been invited to perform with a Canadian group are covered under this exception as long as their invitation is for a 'time-limited engagement'. For the purposes of immigration, this time limit is usually no more than two weeks, though flexibility is permitted. A guest artist who is invited to rehearse and perform for a longer duration of time, such as a performance season, will require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and work permit.
In order to work without a work permit, a performing artist should not enter into an employment situation in Canada. That is, they should not be the long-term employee of a Canadian organization, individual, or establishment.
Professional or amateur athletes may travel to Canada to participate in sports activities or events in Canada either individually or as part of a team. Likewise, foreign coaches and trainers of foreign athletes, as well as other essential team members, may travel to Canada to participate in events.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) gives the following examples of individuals who may be eligible under this exemption:
Amateur players on Canadian teams
Foreign pet owners entering their own animals in a show
Jockeys racing horses from foreign-based stables
Individuals attending professional team tryouts
Foreign team members participating in a competition in Canada
Grooms or team support members
Full or part-time coaches and trainers
The spouses of professional athletes are eligible for a Labour Market Impact Assessment-exempt work permit for their time in Canada.
News reporters and their crews who come to Canada in order to report on events in the country may do so without a work permit. These can include journalists, provided the company they work for is not Canadian. However, this does not include managerial or clerical personnel unless these individuals are covering special events that will last for six months or less.
Generally speaking, media crews who come to Canada to produce travelogues, documentaries, etc are required to secure work permits. However, such decisions are left to the discretion of the Canadian Visa Officer reviewing their application.
Guest speakers at events, commercial speakers and seminar leaders can present in Canada without needing a work permit. For the purposes of this exemption, 'seminar' is defined as a small class or intensive course of study no longer than five days.
Commercial speakers in this category will have a vested interest in the event in which they are speaking. Usually, this means that they will rent a commercial space, advertise for the event, charge admission, etc. Commercial speakers who are hired by a Canadian entity must secure a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and work permit for their time in Canada.
This category covers individuals who come to Canada to organize a convention or conference, as well as the administrative support staff of the organizing committee. These events may be corporate meetings, trade shows, exhibitions, etc. Hands-on service providers, such as audio-visual specialists, are not included in this category.
Convention organizers who have been hired to perform work for a Canadian event are not eligible to work without a work permit. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) defines a 'Canadian event' as one that is held by an organization located and actively doing business in Canada.
Individuals attending conferences and meetings are considered business visitors and are exempt from the requirement for a work permit.
An individual who preaches, oversees religious services, or provides spiritual counselling as a profession may work in Canada without a work permit. Individuals may be ordained ministers, laypeople, or members of a religious order. It is not mandatory that the temporary worker be part of or share the beliefs of the particular religious community where they will work. The primary duties of the temporary worker should reflect a particular religious objective, such as providing religious instruction or promoting a particular faith.
Individuals seeking entry to Canada under this exemption should provide documentation attesting to the following:
The genuineness of the offer of employment; and
Their ability to minister to a congregation (credentials, past employment, etc)
Persons who will be conducting charitable or religious work in Canada require a work permit; however, that permit is exempt from the Labour Market impact Assessment (LMIA) process.
Judges, referees, etc may come to Canada to participate in international amateur sports, artistic, agricultural or cultural events and competitions.
Amateur sports competitions should be organized by an international amateur sport organization and should be hosted by a Canadian organization. In this case, amateur is defined as a competition in which athletes are not paid to compete. Judges, referees and similar officials who will participate in professional sports competitions must receive a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and work permit.
Foreign professors and researchers may need to enter Canada in order to evaluate theses and projects conducted by their students. In this case, they may do so without obtaining a work permit.
Expert Witnesses or Investigators
Experts who must enter Canada in order to conduct surveys or analyses that will be used as evidence, or who will testify as expert witnesses before a regulatory body or court of law, may do so without requiring a work permit.
Foreign health care students studying at foreign institutions may participate in clinical clerkships or short-term practicums in Canada without obtaining work permits. Students may be studying in fields such as medicine, nursing, medical technology and occupational and physical therapy. Such practicums should be unpaid and last no more than four months.
Foreign health care students who will be remunerated for their work, or who will spend more than four months in Canada, will require a work permit.
Flight operations and cabin safety inspectors may inspect commercial international flights without needing a work permit. Inspectors should be employed by a recognized aeronautical authority and hold valid documentation attesting to this fact.
Aviation Accident or Incident Inspector
Accredited representatives and advisors who are assisting in the investigation of an aviation accident or incident may do so without securing a work permit. The investigation should be conducted under the authority of the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act.
Crew members do not need a work permit if they are working on a means of transportation that is foreign-owned, not registered in Canada, and engaged primarily in international transportation. They may work in an operation, maintenance, or passenger service capacity.
Laws governing work conducted by crews on different modes of transportation vary greatly. As such, it is important to make sure that one's work will in fact be eligible for a work permit exemption before coming to Canada.
Workers who will enter Canada to provide services in times of emergency may do so without a work permit. The purpose of their work should be preserving life and property in the face of natural disasters or commercial accidents.
Canada has specifically entered into agreements with the United States to facilitate the movement of emergency aid workers across the border between the two countries. These workers may be doctors or medical teams as well as appraisers and foreign insurance adjusters.
Individuals may continue working under the conditions of an expired work permit (without an interim work permit), provided that they applied for a new work permit before the original expired. While waiting for a response on their application, they must remain in Canada to ensure implied status. Once a decision has been made, the applicant may either continue working under the conditions of their new permit, or they must leave Canada.

HardOCP takes legal action against Infinium
News website HardOCP has filed a legal action against broadband console proponent Infinium Labs, in a move which it says is aimed at "clearing the air" following a number of demands and threats made by Infinium in the past weeks.
Lawyers acting for KB Networks, the company which owns HardOCP, have based a legal action on the Declaratory Judgement Act, an article of US law which allows a company being threatened with lawsuits to force a resolution to the issue.
Infinium Labs has issued a number of legal letters and demands to HardOCP in the past fortnight, demanding that the site retract an article published last September which made a number of allegations about the company and its CEO, Tim Roberts.
However, Kyle Bennett, owner of HardOCP, maintains that he stands by the article - and now hopes to vindicate HardOCP's decision to continue publishing the article with a federal court judgement.
Lawyers acting for HardOCP explained that this new lawsuit, which has been filed in the US District Court in Dallas, is designed to "clear the air and terminate the flurry of demands, allegations, and defamatory Internet posts directed against HardOCP.com, by Infinium Labs and law firms representing Infinium Labs and its CEO, Tim Roberts."
"We have two choices in this matter," HardOCP editor Kyle Bennett told US website GameSpot yesterday. "HardOCP.com either cowers to Infinium Labsâ demands, or we embrace our right to free speech and our duty as a member of the media to report the truth on the gaming industry. The issue is much bigger than HardOCP.com. Infinium Labs is attacking a voice on the Net for sharing facts and opinions. I think we can all agree that this is a very dangerous issue to leave unchecked."
The spat between HardOCP and Infinium has taken on the aspect of a pantomime at this stage, and despite the severity of the accusations made by both parties, has certainly bordered on the ridiculous at times. Aside from the inexplicable slowness of Infinium in taking action against HardOCP - almost six months elapsed between the publication of the article and the demands for its removal - the whole affair starts to seem surreal when you consider Kevin Bachus' claim that Kyle Bennett refused invitations to view Infinium's products and manufacturing facilities because he believed that he would be physically assaulted if he visited the company. Our ability to take the situation seriously isn't helped by the sterling efforts of humourists Penny-Arcade, who were quick to spot the pantomime nature of the whole affair and attempted to raise the ire of Infinium Labs last week by making [outlandish claims] about Tim Roberts' sexual habits.
What's most bizarre is that Infinium has allowed this issue to overshadow one of the company's most important announcements in months - namely that the Phantom console will be playable at E3, on an 8000 square foot stand in the south hall. That ought to be the big news for Infinium right now, not an unsightly and very public hair-pulling match with a hardware website.

The Toyota Ku:Rin three-wheeler just took the speed record for a car running on only compressed air, clocking in at 80.3mph.
The KU:RIN was designed and built by a 40 member team at Toyota group company Toyota Industries Corporation that was started in December 2006. It is no coincidence that Toyota Industries Corp happens to be the biggest supplier of car air conditioner compressors in the world - to the tune of 20 million every year. So these guys know something about compressed air.
To power the KU:RIN, these developers reversed an air conditioning compressor so that instead of using mechanical power to compress air, it generates mechanical energy from the expansion of the compressed air. The compressed air is not fuel as such, but acts as energy storage fulfilling much the same role as a battery pack in an electric car.

REVIEW: The BEST Character Dining in Disney World (That You're Probably SKIPPING!)
EPCOT is known for having a LOT of delicious food. The countries around World Showcase each have some tasty dishes inspired by authentic cuisine from those cultures. Or you can visit during a festival (like the upcoming International Festival of the Arts) to find even more options at festival booths around the park.
EPCOT's World Showcase has some very delicious food
With so many different options available, is it worth it to have a sit-down meal at a restaurant with a much less exotic menu? What if we told you that Mickey would be there? And that the entire restaurant is actually spinning? We're visiting Garden Grill today to see if this spot is worth a visit in the best Disney World park for food.
Garden Grill is located in the Land pavilion, which is in the World Nature section of EPCOT. (Anyone else still getting used to calling Future World by its new names? Yep, us too!)
The Land pavilion
This is the same place that houses the Soarin' and Living With the Land attractions. (More on Living With the Land in a second — it's important to this restaurant!) As far as "old Disney World" goes, this place looks…basically like it did in the 80s! (The restaurant names have all changed though and Sunshine seasons used to have big umbrellas at most tables!)
Inside the Land pavilion
You'll find the Garden Grill on the second floor of this pavilion. You probably have rushed right past it on the way to the escalator down to Soarin' and not noticed it before!!
Garden Grill
In the past, we've really enjoyed this restaurant because of its unique atmosphere, tasty food, and fun character interactions. But is it really worth spending a meal here when you could be snacking around World Showcase instead? Let's find out.
At the time of your reservation, you can head to the front desk to check in, or use Mobile Dine Check-In to let the Cast Members know that you have arrived. You'll get a text letting you know when your table is ready, so head on up to the host stand to be seated.
Host check-in
Probably the coolest thing about this restaurant is its atmosphere. The entire restaurant actually rotates in a circle while you're inside it! (Don't worry — it's slow. No Mad Tea Party action over here!)
It rotates!
All of the tables and booths are laid out in a big circle, with tables and chairs on the inside and booths on the outside. (Right now, guests are still only being seated in the outside booths.)
Tables on the inside, booths on the outside
During your meal, the restaurant spins (very slowly), which gives you different views throughout your experience. You'll get to see some of the views from the Living With the Land attraction, including the desert…
desert views
…farmhouse (see if you can spot the nods to Walt Disney next time you ride!)…
farmhouse views
…and rainforest.
rainforest views
Even if you get nausea or vertigo on spinning rides, you probably don't have to worry about that with this restaurant. While you're sitting down, you can barely tell that the tables are moving at all. You'll just notice that the scenery keeps changing throughout your visit.
Scenery change!
Fun fact: this restaurant was originally called The Good Turn Restaurant because of the unique rotating style! As if a spinning dining room wasn't enough, Garden Grill is also a character dining location. While you eat, you can visit with Chip…
Hi, Dale!
…Farmer Mickey…
…and Pluto!
The characters remain on the inside of the circle, and guests sitting in the booths can wave hello, chat with the characters, and take distanced photos of them. It's kind of a sweet setup right now as far as character dining is concerned. Even distanced, character interaction feels intimate here. You're not getting Mickey walking into a crowded dining room and waving to guests — he comes to YOUR table and waves and interacts for a bit before moving on.
Sayin' hello
The layout of this restaurant means that you'll see characters very often. They came by several times during our meal here, and, again, it feels like a more personal meet-and-greet since they're so close to the tables. Other character dining spots don't usually get quite as much character interaction as this one. Plus, with no other guests in your sight when you meet them, it makes for some great character photos!
Lots of character interactions here
Because you can't ask for autographs from your Disney friends at this spot, guests are given an autograph card that's been signed by Mickey, Pluto, and Chip & Dale.
But that's enough about the dining room. We already know that this spot is one of the most unique dining locations in Disney World. So now we're wondering, How will the FOOD will measure up to other EPCOT eats?
We were given a QR code menu, which you can scan with your smartphone to see the menu. But you won't have to make too many difficult decisions at this restaurant, because the food here is served as a family-style platter, which includes all of the entrées and sides listed under "Chip 'n' Dale Harvest Feast."
There are also some options for allergy-friendly starters and entrées.
As far as drinks go, a non-alcoholic, non-specialty drink is included in the price of the Harvest Feast. But if you wanted a little something extra, there are a few specialty drink options…
…some bottle and draft beer choices…
…and a selection of wines as well.
This is the current lunch and dinner menu. Note that previously, Garden Grill offered a family-style breakfast as well with the same characters. It has not returned at this time, but we're keeping an eye out. We can't wait to dig in!
We decided to grab a simple iced tea for our drink, which came in a cute Mason jar!
Reading the Harvest Feast menu, you might start to see a theme. Turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, mac 'n' cheese, stuffing…sounds a lot like Thanksgiving, right? That's definitely what this meal reminds us of! You'll start off with some rolls, which are essentially basic dinner rolls served with a side of butter.
Pretty good!
The rolls were fluffy and golden brown, which is just how we like 'em. They weren't exactly special, but we still thought they were tasty.
The rolls are served with the Harvest-inspired Garden Salad, which is a classic salad with a vinaigrette dressing. There were many different kinds of veggies on this salad, and a lot of them are grown in the Living With the Land greenhouses! You can really tell how fresh everything is when you eat it.
We enjoyed the vinaigrette dressing as well. It's very light with just a hint of citrus. Considering all the rich, heavy foods that are coming, we thought this was a great note to start on for this meal.
Starting it off light
The skillet arrived with Grilled Beef with Chimichurri sauce, All-Natural Sliced Turkey Breast with Turkey Gravy, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni & Cheese, Seasonal Vegetables, and Herb and Leek Stuffing. In case it's not clear already, you're going to want to come hungry for this dining experience.
Full spread
The seasonal vegetables on our skillet were corn succotash and green beans, and we also received a side of cranberry sauce (which makes the Thanksgiving vibes even stronger!). We thought the turkey was surprisingly good! We typically have lower expectations for the food at character meals, since the emphasis tends to be on the experience rather than the cuisine. But we're usually really pleased with the food here. The turkey was moist and flavorful — delicious in a very simple way.
The corn succotash was delicious as well. You can definitely taste that it's cooked with butter, and the peppers mixed in added a lot of flavor.
The green beans were perfection: very buttery with a crisp snap! Like most of the food here, they're done simply and well.
The mashed potatoes were a sleeper hit, in our opinion. They were VERY creamy and buttery, and they ended up being one of our favorite things.
The mac & cheese was very good as well. The sauce was cheesy and creamy, which is really all we want from our pasta. But we just have one question that is actually very concerning: what happened to the goldfish?
Where'd the goldfish go?
The mac & cheese here used to be served with goldfish on top, which was kind of a fun and quirky thing that we loved at this spot! Our mac was sadly fish-less (which isn't a sentence we ever thought we'd write). It may have simply been an oversight though. We're not ready to say they've stopped the goldfish on the mac just yet.
No fish for us
We also had cranberry sauce on the side, which was fine. It's basically your typical cranberry sauce. It adds a nice sweetness to the meal, plus you really have to have it if you're going for the whole Thanksgiving theme.
We saved the best for last: the grilled beef with Chimichurri sauce! This was our favorite thing on the skillet. It's the least Thanksgiving-y, so maybe we have to dock points for that, but we really had nothing to complain about here.
It had a lot of natural sweetness and tons of flavor from that Chimichurri sauce, and the meat was cooked very well. It wasn't chewy at all, but instead was nice and tender.
Dessert is included with the Harvest Feast as well. You'll get a Fresh Berry Shortcake, which is topped with whipped cream.
Berry Shortcake
We normally tell our readers to skip out on dessert at table-service restaurants and find some good treats elsewhere in the parks (since there are so many fun options!), but this dessert was simply tasty. We honestly thought it was worth the stomach space, even in EPCOT.
The cake was very yummy and moist, with fresh berries on top. You can tell that the whipped cream on top is handmade as well. We sound like a broken record, but this is another example of simple food done very well at this spot.
Nosh or Not
Join the spinning tables at Garden Grill if:
You're looking for a fun character meal with good food. The food here exceeded our expectations when it comes to character meal food!
You LOVE Thanksgiving food and/or the Living With the Land attraction. Holiday food with lots of fun views? What's not to love?
You're traveling with kids or picky eaters. Most of the food here is very basic and predictable, which makes it a good choice for people who don't want crazy flavors.
Hop off the dining carousel and eat around World Showcase instead if:
You're a foodie or just want to try some fun and unique dishes. Like we just said, the food here is very basic. It's good, but you can find a lot of more unique and interesting options out in World Showcase.
You want to spend more time in EPCOT itself, not inside a restaurant. There's a lot to explore in EPCOT, and this dinner will likely take at least an hour. If you're not willing to give up the time, plan on snacking throughout the day instead.
There's a festival going on. Honestly, if you add festival booths to the already-delicious options in EPCOT, there's not much of a competition. Go get some more exciting food out in the park.
Cards on the table — we love Garden Grill. We always have. The food is consistently some of the freshest around and we really dig the casual homestyle foods. In general, we had a great visit at Garden Grill. The food, though not super exciting, was all delicious. For a character meal especially, we were super impressed with the quality and flavors. The grilled beef and dessert were the biggest hits, and our biggest disappointment was the lack of goldfish on the mac & cheese.
Simple and good
We always love seeing the unique views during the experience. And the frequent encounters with Mickey and the gang were also super fun! The characters come by your table a LOT, and it was almost too much. We still have to eat, Pluto! The service was great; our server came by frequently to make sure that our skillet and drink were always full. Speaking of — you can always request seconds, thirds, or more of anything served to you during your meal.
Worth the visit?
This is one of our favorite character meals in Disney World, but we have a hard time recommending it over the other delicious options in EPCOT. The $55 price tag for Adults and $36 for kids is pretty typical of a character meal, but you can get some other great food options elsewhere in the parks. (For reference, the most expensive steak at Le Cellier Steakhouse costs $59.) So it really depends on your preferences and priorities in EPCOT! If you love characters and Thanksgiving food, there isn't a better option out there. But if you want to try some unique and interesting options, you'll have plenty to choose from in World Showcase.

Abstract: The present study was undertaken in Forest Science Faculty, Universidad de Nuevo Leon, Mexico on variability of Wood density and its possible relation to few wood chemical composition and wood fiber cell structure anatomy. The results reveal that among 10 specie studied, there exist a large variation in wood density (0.51 to 1.09), and few wood chemical composition such % carbón (37.14 to 44.07), nitrogen (9.18 to 19.22), sulphur (31.45 to 33/82), lignin (15/28 to 24.35), hemicellulose (19.94 to 27.36%), and % cellulose (33.69 to 45.92). In general, though there was no clear relationship between wood density and other chemical composition of wood. It was observed that the species having moderate to high wood density contained >40% carbón, >30% sulphur and >40% cellulose and more or less 20% lignin. It seems that carbón, sulphur, cellulose and lignin content contribute to greater density. The wood fiber cell with wall lignification seems to be related to higher wood density.

Wood density is an important wood quality parameter in carbon cycle research and offers resistance in the trees against wind, storms, cavitation of xylem vessels, and other environmental stresses. The wood density of tropical tree species is determined in units of oven dry weight in grams per cubic centimeter of green volume. It varied from 0.5 to 0.8 g/cm3 [1] . Few research findings are mentioned herein on wood density and factors affecting it. A study was undertaken [2] on wood density and fibre length of Eucalyptus grandis grown in Kerala, India in trees of four age groups (3, 5, 7, and 9 yr). The average basic density was 495 kg/m3 at 3 yr revealing a no significant increase from 3 to 9 yr, whereas 5-yr-old trees had a significantly lower value. Density did not show significant differences but it differed significantly between the locations. The woof fibres were found to be longer in one location where the trees had a faster growth. It is well confirmed that wood-specific gravity is an important component of the biomass estimations [3] [4] . Wood density predicts life-history strategies of tree species, owing to the fact that it is closely related to tree growth rates [5] . On the other hand, wood density is positively related to drought resistance in tropical trees [6] - [8] . High wood density is positively correlated with xylem wall enforcement, which in turn reduces cavitation risk due to strong tensions during periods of drought [6] . It was reported [9] that the wood density of tree species in Neotropical forests was a taxonomically conserved trait, whereby variation in wood density was mainly explained by the wood density at generic level. Several studies on wood density have documented that community-level wood density varies considerably among Neotropical forests [9] - [11] and therefore it is considered a predictive variable in large-scale tropical biomass estimation protocols [9] [12] , [13] . It is reported [11] that wood density across 59 Amazonian plots and four Neotropical forests, respectively, is negatively associated with soil fertility. In this respect at a broader scale, [10] (1988) undertook comparative study of North American and South American communities, and observed a positive correlation between wood density and mean annual precipitation. On the contrary, it was reported [14] that the variation in mean wood density within Guyana did not show correlation with either precipitation or soil fertility, whereas in Mexico, [15] found that mean wood density showed a negative correlation with precipitation. All these studies discuss contrasting trends in the regional and environmental variability of wood density, although they are based on a limited number of study sites or are restricted to one region of the Neotropics. Density is correlated with cavitationresistance. Wood density is safety factor against implosion of xylem to avoid collapse. It is investigated in [6] . A study was undertakent [16] on the relation between transport capacity and wood density and wood anatomy with leaf photosynthetic traits in two low land Panamanian forest. Leaf specific hydrauic conductivity of the upper branches showed positive corelation with the maximum rates of net CO2 assimilation per unit leaf area and stomatal conductivity. Maximum leaf hydraulic conductivity showed stronger correlation with net CO2 assimilation. This suggests that allocation to photosynthetic potential is proportional to maximum water transport. Branch wood density was negatively correlated with wood water storage and wood water potential. Wood density also constraints physiological functions.
A study was undertaken [17] on regional and phylogenetic variation of wood density across 2456 neotropical trees species. According to them, wood density is a crucial variable in carbon accounting programs of both secondary and old-growth tropical forests. Wood density is also the best single descriptor of wood: it correlates with numerous morphological, mechanical, physiological, and ecological properties. This reveals that genus-level means give reliable approximations of values of species, except in a few hypervariable genera. They also studied the evolutionary shifts in wood density occurring in the phylogeny of seed plants using a composite phylogenetic tree. Major changes occurred at deep nodes (Eurosid 1), and also in more recent divergences (for instance in the Rhamnoids, Simaroubaceae, and Anacardiaceae). Their unprecedented wood density data set yields consistent guidelines for estimating wood densities when species-level information is lacking and should significantly reduce error in Central and South American carbon accounting programs.
Wood density plays a key role in ecological strategies and life history variation in woody plants, but very little is known about its anatomical basis in shrubs [18] . They quantified the relationships between wood density, anatomy, and climate in 61 shrub species from eight field sites along latitudinal belts between 31 and 35 in North and South America. Measurements included cell dimensions, transverse areas of each xylem cell type and percentage contact between different cell types and vessels.
In the face of literatures available on various factors affecting wood density, a preliminary study is undertaken to find possible relation with few wood chemical composition and wood fiber characteristics.
2. Materials and Methods
Guadalupe Bárcenas Pazos and Raymundo Dávalos Sotelo (2015) (23) made a review on the importance of lignin. Temperate hardwood species, both from México and the United States undergo a greater shrinkage percentage than tropical hardwoods and softwoods from both countries. The three-dimensional stiffness of lignin, greater than that of the other chemical constituents of the cell wall, along with its low higroscopicity, relimit the movements due to changes in moisture content. Regression analyses to determine the influence of specific gravity and lignin content were analyzed. It is concluded that both have a marked importance. Specific gravity shows to be the most important variable, although the influence of lignin is also significant. It is remarked that it is necessary to carry out experimental studies on the effect of these variables on dimensional changes, along with that of other important variables, such as extractives and ray volume.
In earlier study we determined wood density of 37 woody species of Northeastern Mexico, out of which we selected 3 species with high density, 3 species with moderate density and 3 low density.
Wood samples of each species were grounded in a Thomas Willey mill (Thomas Scientific Apparatus, Model 3383) using a N˚60 (1 mm × 1 mm) mesh these were sieved, and stored in labeled plastic containers. Samples by triplicate were subjected to chemical analysis. The neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and detergent fibre lignin (ADL) contents were determined by methods described by [19] VanSoest et al. (1991). Hemicellulose (NDF-ADF) and cellulose (ADF-lignin) were obtained by difference.
3. Results and Discussion
The Wood density variations and chemical composition of 10 woody species are shown in Table 1.
Wood density being an important parameter contributes to Wood quality. Various workers reported variation in Wood density in various species in the world [1] [2] [4] [6] [17] [20] . We also observed in the present study a large variation in Wood density. It is observed that among 9 species studied there existed a large variation in wood density which varied from (0.51 to 1.09), % carbón (37.14 to 44.07), nitrogen (9.18 to 19.22), sulphur (31.04 to 33.82), lignin (15.28 to 24.35), hemicellulose (19.94 to 27.36%), and % cellulose (33.69 to 45.92). In general, though there was no clear relationship between wood density and other chemical composition of Wood. We observed the species having moderate to high wood density contained >40% carbón, >30% sulphur and >40% cellulose and more or less 20% lignin. It seems that carbón, sulphur, cellulose and lignin content contribute to greater density. We do not observe clear cut relationship between lignin content with that in hard Wood. Wood fibre cells having lignified cell wall (being lignocellulose) contribute to density and strength to the Wood. The species having high wood density viz. Fraxinus greggii, Acacia shaffneri, Helietta parviflora contained in total 60% cellulose and lignin and 40% carbón store revealing that apart from cellulose, and lignin carbón probably contribute to Wood density.
It has been interpreted by [21] that Wood anatomy could predict Wood quality and its utility. We wanted to verify this in the present study. We wanted to know whether Wood anatomical features could predict Wood density and Wood quality interpreted by [21] . It is observed that tree species having high Wood density have compact Wood tissue with thick walled Wood fibres as observed in the case of Hellieta parviflora shown below.

We also observed that both Acacia shaffneri and Fraxinus greggii having high Wood density have thick walled fibre cell and narrow lumen.

On the contrary in the case of soft wood Salix humboldtiana, Forestieria angustifolia and Cordia boissieri, the Wood tissue is loose and fibre cells are thin walled with broad lumen as shown below.

It is observed the species having high Wood density (Acacia shaffneri, Fraxinusgreggii, Helietaparviflora) possess compact Wood with thick walled fibre cells, thick walled cell wall and narrow lumen compared to soft wood having loose wood tissue, thin fibre cell wall viz. Salix humboldtiana, Forestieria angustifolia, Cordia boissieri. This needs to be confirmed in future study.
The present study has clearly shown that the chemical composition of the woody tree species varies. This variability in the percent carbon content, ligin, sulphur and hemicellulose may govern the variability in the wood density of the species also as these form the major weight in determining the oven dry weight of the species during the determination of wood density. It was observed that the species in high density had lignified fibre cell wall and compact wood. It has been observed that this variability in the chemical composition is also likely to determine the fiber lumen width and the density of the fibres. This hypotheses needs further confirmation. This needs to be confirmed with a large number of species.

Top Gear – Clarkson contract won't be renewed by BBC. Should there be one rule for talent, one rule for "the rest"?
Comment on the forum
Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson is to be sacked, bringing to an end a 27 year career with the BBC and an overhaul of the show. A BBC source told The Guardian – "There can't be one rule for talent and one rule for ordinary human beings".
In 1999 the director David O. Russell head butted George Clooney on the set of Three Kings.
Allegedly Clooney responded by choking Russell with his hands around his neck.
That didn't seem to bother the Oscars, when Russell's film Silver Linings Playbook was nominated for 8 in 2012.
In 2008 Christian Bale launched a disgraceful F-word laden 4 minute rant at Hollywood DP Shane Hurlbut on the set of Terminator Salvation after the DP had the tenacity to adjust a light and walk around in the background of the set. The actor had to be restrained by crew members.
Bale's career of course progressed unhindered.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrvMTv_r8sA#t=95
In a different tact but no less physically abusive, Stanley Kubrick on the set of The Shining drove actress Shelley Duval to the brink of a physical breakdown.
One of her scenes required swinging a baseball bat at Jack 127 times, with Kubrick presumably wanting to recreate a sense of realistic physical exhaustion in the swing. As a result of stress during the shoot her hair began to fall out.
It's also suggested she suffered dehydration after days spent tearfully sobbing for so many re-takes. Allegedly Kubrick instructed his crew to show no sympathy.
Clearly filmmaking is not an office job where anyone is dispensable if they explode in a fit of anger.
Would the BBC had fired Christian Bale, George Clooney or David O. Russell?
Would it have been to the benefit of the organisation or an international audience of 350 million people?
Obviously, no.
But the alternative is so completely out of step with the democratic modern world and its hermetically sealed professional behaviour that I am afraid to even suggest it.
Let's be clear about the ethics first. Clarkson is deep in the wrong; the BBC inquiry suggests the incident involved a 20 minute verbal tirade followed by a 30 second physical fracas. The BBC also have a wide range of less morally dubious talent into which to dip for a replacement and plenty of safer choices. Stephen Fry has been suggested.
The outcome of Clarkson's sacking however is essentially cultural vandalism, a decision with far-reaching negative repercussions long into the future of the entire show and for the entire crew. BBC Top Gear is ruined. Executive Producer Andy Wilman who is responsible for the modern format and dreaming up most of the content, along with the other presenters James May and Richard Hammond are toast. They will likely leave with Clarkson and take the format to a different network.
So should in fact key talent at the very top be let off for abusive behaviour in the heat of a moment, as with Bale, as with O. Russell?
I believe the answer that's in the best interest of the crew, the show, the broadcaster and the audience is "yes", ethically difficult though that is.
But actually it should not have been allowed to get this far in the first place.
The BBC have failed to manage one of their most important talents.
If Clarkson had a problem with alcohol, the BBC should have done something about it.
If Clarkson had behavioural issues, something should have been done a long time ago about it.
And if Clarkson feels he can get away with hitting a producer, perhaps the fact his employees pandered to him like a rock god for a decade could have something to do with it.
In the event of an O'Russell explosion of a Clarkson fracas, I think significant slack should be cut to top talent under huge pressure on set, while battling personal issues off set.
The BBC are not acting in the best interests of their customers, and they're running scared from controversy. Here's the statement from Director General, Tony Hall –
"It is with great regret that I have told Jeremy Clarkson today that the BBC will not be renewing his contract. It is not a decision I have taken lightly. I have done so only after a very careful consideration of the facts and after personally meeting both Jeremy and Oisin Tymon. I am grateful to Ken MacQuarrie for the thorough way he has conducted an investigation of the incident on 4th March. Given the obvious and very genuine public interest in this I am publishing the findings of his report. I take no pleasure in doing so. I am only making them public so people can better understand the background. I know how popular the programme is and I also know that this decision will divide opinion. The main facts are not disputed by those involved."

See if you can work out which letters are missing in this quiz.
This English Language quiz is called 'Missing Letters' and it has been written by teachers to help you if you are studying the subject at elementary school. Playing educational quizzes is an enjoyable way to learn if you are in the 3rd, 4th or 5th grade - aged 8 to 11.
Sometimes, we think faster than we can write. This may mean we forget letters or words in our sentences. The words below are all missing a few letters; see if you can find which ones have been forgotten.
Which letters are missing from the words: 'rabit' and 'har'?
Hares are larger and have longer ears than rabbits.
Which letters are missing from the word: 'elphan'?
Elephants can live for seventy years and are the only mammals that can't jump.
Which letters are missing from the words: 'lov chikens'?
If you love chickens, you'll love them even more when you know they slurp grass like it's spaghetti!
Which letters are missing from the words: 'ther hous'?
Although 'there' is a word, it doesn't fit next to 'house'. 'Their' house means the house belonging to the family.
'I lik choclate.' Which letters are missing from this sentence?
It should say, 'I like chocolate'. Dark chocolate is considered good for you - but only in small doses.
'I wnt to th park.' Which letters are missing from this sentence?
It should say, 'I went to the park'. It's always good to read through your sentences because sometimes you might miss a letter of a word you know how to spell.
'It was a cold, dak, niht.' Which letters are missing from this sentence?
It should say, 'It was a cold dark night'. Cold is how we describe the weather but you can also catch a cold. A cold, or bug, starts in the nose and throat and makes you feel poorly.
'I had a grat time in the se.' Which letters are missing from this sentence?
It should say, 'I had a great time in the sea.' The word 'sea' is a homophone. This means that 'sea' and 'see' sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things.
'He crept upstars and snuk into the room.' Which letters are missing from this sentence?
'Somtimes I eat fis.' Which letters are missing from this sentence?
It should say, 'Sometimes I eat fish'. Fish is very good for you and is full of vitamins and minerals that make you strong and healthy.

Q: Intercepting hint event on delphi I am trying to change hint text temporarily at a run-time inside of a component,
without changing the Hint property itself.
I've tried catching CM_SHOWHINT, but this event seems to only come to
form, but not the component itself.
Inserting CustomHint doesnt really work either, because it takes the text
from the Hint property.
my component is descendant from TCustomPanel
Here's what i'm trying to do:
procedure TImageBtn.WndProc(var Message: TMessage);
begin
  if (Message.Msg = CM_HINTSHOW) then
    PHintInfo(Message.LParam)^.HintStr := 'CustomHint';
end;

I've found this code somewhere in the internet, unfortunately it doesn't work tho.

A: You can use OnShowHint event

*

*http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/Vcl.Forms.TApplication.OnShowHint

*http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/Vcl.AppEvnts.TCustomApplicationEvents.OnShowHint
It has HintInfo parameter: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/Vcl.Forms.THintInfo
That parameter lets you query the hint control, hint text and all that context - and override them it if needed.
If you want to filter which components to change hint for you may, for example, declare some kind of ITemporaryHint interface like
type
  ITemporaryHint = interface
  ['{1234xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}']
    function NeedCustomHint: Boolean;
    function HintText: string;
  end;

Then you can check later generically any of your components, whether they implement that interface
procedure TForm1.DoShowHint(var HintStr: string; var CanShow: Boolean;
  var HintInfo: THintInfo);
var
  ih: ITemporaryHint;
begin
  if Supports(HintInfo.HintControl, {GUID for ITemporaryHint}, ih) then
    if ih.NeedCustomHint then
      HintInfo.HintStr := ih.HintText;
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Application.ShowHint := True;
  Application.OnShowHint := DoShowHint;
end;

A: CM_HINTSHOW is indeed just what you need. Here's a simple example:
type
  TButton = class(Vcl.StdCtrls.TButton)
  protected
    procedure CMHintShow(var Message: TCMHintShow); message CM_HINTSHOW;
  end;

  TMyForm = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
  end;

....

procedure TButton.CMHintShow(var Message: TCMHintShow);
begin
  inherited;
  if Message.HintInfo.HintControl=Self then
    Message.HintInfo.HintStr := 'my custom hint';
end;

The code in the question is failing to call inherited which is probably why it fails. Or perhaps the the class declaration omits the override directive on WndProc. No matter, it's cleaner the way I have it in this answer.

Popular Annett extends stay
Correspondent	1st May, 2019
HOOKER Niall Annett has committed his future to Worcester Warriors for another season by signing a new one-year contract.
The former Ireland under 20 captain has made 70 first team appearances since he joined Warriors from Ulster five years ago and has been in sparkling form since he returned from a shoulder injury last month.
Annett has started every match since he returned from the injury and won praise for his courageous display against Gallagher Premiership leaders Exeter Chiefs which helped Warriors to claim two priceless bonus points.
"It's the way things work sometimes. You are not always 100 per cent all the time when you are playing but I was fit enough to play for sure and I was just glad enough to get out there with the boys," Annett said.
"I'm delighted to have signed for another year. This is a place that I am passionate about. I will be heading into my sixth year next season so I'm looking forward to seeing what unfolds.
"I think I've put in some good performances this season and I'm looking forward to getting more opportunities and to play some good rugby when I do."
Director of rugby Alan Solomons expressed his delight after Annett penned a new deal.
"Niall is an outstanding team and club man who has made an invaluable contribution to the Warriors cause," Solomons said.
"I am delighted that he is extending his stay with us and look forward to working with him next season."

Just as pubs are the heart of London life and Naples is peppered with pizzerias, Paris is the city of bistros. Each trip to the City of Lights inevitably includes a meal of time-honored French dishes (Boeuf Bourgignon, anyone?). While I adore these classics, isn't variety the spice of life? Here are a handful of dining trends that are sweeping this cosmopolitan city now.
The benefits of dining at off-the-beaten path locales are vast. Since these restaurants are frequented by more locals than tourists, one can get a true feel of how Parisians really eat. Also, the prices tend to be cheaper and it's easier to score a reservation. Don't worry about sacrificing quality for location; one of my favorite meals in Paris was at Le Severo, a gem in the unremarkable 14th Arronidisement. Meat is the main attraction at Le Severo; it's owner, William Bernet is an ex-butcher, so their small menu is a carnivore's fantasy. This petit restaurant seats barely 30--what some may call "cramped", I call "cozy"-- so prepare to nestle close to your neighbors. As a solo diner, this proximity was actually a plus; my meal was spent conversing with a friendly Parisian father and son, who chatted me up upon seeing that I was reading the New Yorker, the father's favorite magazine. We swapped stories of New York --the dad exclaimed his favorite fries were actually found there!--and they generously shared their Jambon d'Auvergne, a giant plate of glistening ham. Do not miss the Boudin Noir--even if the thought of blood sausage sends shivers down your spine, this version is incredibly luscious, charred crisp on the outside and dotted with nuggets of fat. For a main course, the faux filet with frites (fried in, you guessed it, duck fat) is the best I've tasted in Paris. The beef comes from Auvergne, a pastoral region known for prize cows (aka quality beef and cheese). A massive wine list is scrawled on the chalkboard wall, ranging from the simple to splurges.
Side Dish: Shop like the pros at E. Dehillerin, a treasure trove of culinary tools for professional chefs. The friendly and quirky green-aproned staff will happily search through bins of whisks, copper tins, pots, and pans to find exactly what you need. Bring home a souvenir like a Madeleine pan or terrine mold - more authentic than an oversized Paris tee shirt, non?
It is only fitting that some of the most beautiful restaurants in Paris would be housed in fine art institutions. My Parisian friend, Julie, clued me in to the Café de l'Homme at the Musée d'Homme, for its jaw-dropping views of the Eiffel Tower. Considering the gorgeous vistas, I expected the food to be ho-hum, but I had a magnificent Steak Tartare, made from organic beef and prepared tableside in an oh-so-French fashion. If the patio is closed, a seat inside the Art Deco-inspired room still offers the view, but in a fancier setting, with golden walls, sumptuous purple couches, and jellyfish-like chandeliers dripping with diamonds.
For a less expensive option, visit the Café des Hauteurs at the Musée D'Orsay. If you share my affection for the building itself, you will adore this 5th floor café, which is situated behind one of the gargantuan clocks of this former train station. Essentially a glorified cafeteria, even on a Parisian rainy day, the room is stunning thanks to the natural light from the clock window. Try the goat cheese tartine which features pungent disks of creamy cheese. Or, my father opted for an affogato, vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso, for his birthday treat to help battle post-art-viewing fatigue.
Side Dish: Instead of using the métro to jaunt between museums, try Velib, Paris' nifty, bike-rental system. Not only do you get an up-close view of Paris, but it's an excellent way to work off your high-caloric meals! These easy-to-use kiosks allow you to pick-up/drop-off bikes all over Paris, but be warned that they only accept certain American credit cards.

Men without Work:White Working-Class Masculinity in Deindustrialization Fiction
Sherry Lee Linkon (bio)
The classic image of the American working-class person pictures a white, male manual laborer, most often an industrial worker. Many fictional and popular examples spring to mind: Thomas Bell's steelworkers in Out of This Furnace, packinghouse workers in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, the muscular men in Lewis Hine's black and white photos, and more recently the commercial fishermen, truck drivers, and motorcycle mechanics of work-centered reality television programs. These representations do not simply reflect the imagined associations of industrial work with white masculinity; they represent the real social, economic, and psychological resources for constructing masculinity that industrial work made available for most of the twentieth century. While the work itself was often boring, unpleasant, and dangerous (accidents were common, and former industrial workers sometimes battle work-related diseases and injuries for the rest of their lives), the mythology surrounding productive labor, with its associated benefits of the family wage, labor solidarity, and physical prowess, has long played a key role in defining working-class and masculine identities.
The American working class has never been solely male or white, of course. While women have always worked in factories, and many representations of the working class feature women, for working-class women, identity has often been defined by and enacted primarily within the family. Think of Tillie Olsen's Anna and Mazie from Yonnondio, or Dorothea Lange's famous photo, "Migrant Mother." Family roles have mattered for men, but they have been [End Page 148] more central to working-class femininity. People of color, including new immigrants who had not yet "become white," also worked in factories and mines and made up a large portion of the working class during the industrial era (and continue to do so now that working-class labor is more likely to involve service rather than manufacturing). Yet the problematic, contested history of the intersection of race and class has encouraged white people generally to imagine themselves as not being raced, even as it complicated the construction of working-class identities for people of color. The result is that despite the diversity of the working class, and even though some popular texts do offer more diverse representations, the iconic image of the American working class remains white, male, and industrial.1
For well over a century, the physically demanding, often dangerous productive labor of manufacturing and mining provided economic and social resources that were central to white working-class masculinity: a decent wage that helped secure men's position as head of the household, arduous and sometimes risky activity, appreciation for physical strength, pride in producing the materials and goods that defined American economic dominance and prosperity, and shared experiences that created masculine networks not only at work but also in neighborhood settings—bars, union halls, football fields—where workers' relationships extended into social life. Blue-collar work helped to create working-class communities and cement white men's roles as producers and providers within those communities. As Valerie Walkerdine and Luis Jimenez have suggested, those patterns became the embodiment of masculinity, "sediment[ed] over time to be simply what one needed to do," passed down "from father to son, . . . central to community survival" (94). Their phrase—"what one needed to do"—reminds us that industrial [End Page 149] labor was a necessity of working-class life. Men worked to support their families, but these jobs produced more than income. The physical challenges and dangers of the job became part of the cultural mythology of working-class masculinity.
However, as Marc E. Shaw and Elwood Watson note in their introduction to Performing American Masculinities: The Twenty-First Century Man in Popular Culture, "Masculinity is not a solid, immoveable construction. . . . [F]rom moment to moment, forces redictate, replace, and reimagine its reconstructing" (1). Since the last decades of the twentieth century, economic restructuring has been a powerful force transforming economic and social conditions in ways that require the reconstruction of white working-class masculinity. Deindustrialization did not simply put many working-class men out of work; it undermined the resources that they relied upon to construct their identities. As...

Underwater video art featuring South Australian marine life
Being a documentary filmmaker and public interest researcher is hard, slow and often thankless work. Investigations take time and energy, the process can be intellectually taxing and any rewards may take many years to crystallise. Fortunately, I've kept one foot in the camp of the practising artist, and this year I've focussed on producing and sharing new nature-based video works.
During 2017, I've made seven new works featuring South Australian marine life for exhibition in public art galleries and at special events. This blog post gives an overview of these works. All but one were shot this year.
Collectively, they are intended to present some of nature's less familiar wonders to the wider public and make the underwater world accessible outside of the tiny community of snorkelers and divers that explore SA's temperate waters. Each is suitable for presentation in a "play once" manner or as looping installations.
Port Jackson Sharks
This video captures a previously undocumented aggregation of Port Jackson sharks on rocky reef north of the Port Noarlunga jetty. It runs for approximately 2 minutes and 15 seconds and premiered at the Friends of Gulf St Vincent's event: "The wonderful world of sharks and rays… and why they need our help" on November 19, 2017.
Southern Fiddler Rays
This video captured the casual grace of Southern fiddler rays, cruising and resting near the jetty at Port Broughton, South Australia. It premiered at the Port Pirie Regional Art Gallery, where it was projected in a dedicated video theatrette.
Giant Australian Cuttlefish
This video was recorded during the annual giant Australian cuttlefish aggregation back in the winter of 2009. It is a one-shot film that show interactions between cuttlefish as males compete for the attention of a female, hidden beneath a ledge on the rocky reef between Whyalla and Point Lowly. The video runs for approximately 5 minutes.
Anemone Bloom
Anemone bloom captures the bizarre phenomenon of biofluorescence. This occurs in some living organisms, when they are subjected to blue-ultraviolet light. The resulting colours can be very intense, as the contrast between the anemones and the algae beside them shows. It was shown at Gallery 1855 in Tea Tree Gully as part of the group exhibition "Bloom".
The Anemone's Garden
This experiment in blue-ultraviolet light and biofluoresce peers into a tiny crack between two rocks underwater in the Port River estuary, at Garden Island, South Australia. Anemones are a constant, but cameo appearances feature two crustaceans and several sea slugs. It was shown during the exhibition Neon Revival at Gallery Yampu in August 2017.
The Mangrove Jellyfish
The Mangrove Jellyfish is a simple study of Cassiopea ndrosia, the Mangrove Jellyfish. It occasionally blooms in the Port River, and this piece shows a larger speimen, pulsing on the mucky seabed in its feeding position. It was shown at Gallery Yampu during the Adelaide Fringe in March 2017.
Sea Anemone
This simple one-shot film shows a sea anemone feeding. It was filmed near the Garden Island fishing jetty and was shown at Gallery Yampu during Adelaide Fringe in March 2017.
Movies: List of independent cinemas in regional South Australia
As a producer and director of independent films, I know full-well that finding an audience for your work is just as important as making a film in the first place. Whilst working on the feature length documentary film Cuttlefish Country, I began to compile a list of independent cinemas around regional South Australia for the purposes of touring the film to relevant local audiences. I was pleasantly surprised to find the full gamut of cinemas peppered around my state, ranging from grand old art-deco cinemas built in the 1930's (like the Victa Cinemas) to the outback drive-in at Coober Pedy and pop-up cinemas like Cinemallunga (with special event screenings only) and the Moonta Cinema (which operates during school-holidays). This is not yet an exhaustive list of cinemas in regional SA, though we hope to make it so with your help. If you can provide us with additional venue information, please leave a comment below, or send me an email. These cinemas all play mainstream movie releases and can host special events and screenings by arrangement.

Fundraising: Buy a LEGO costume or product to help us fundraise for a feature documentary
Fundraising with a Lego twist
Back in August of 2011, Emma Sterling and I commenced work on our first documentary feature film project, entitled Cuttlefish Country. Funded initially by our inner circle of family and friends via generous gift donations at our wedding, we carefully considered extra measures to support us through what has became an unexpectedly long production period. Danimations is rarely known to do things conventionally, and we ultimately decided to combine our fundraising objectives with the development of a range of fun products. The rationale was simple: raise money, awareness and smiles all with some clever merchandising ideas, and a few web 2.0 tools.
After producing some project-specific designs and products, a spin-off line of products was created, inspired by our reignited passion for LEGO bricks and building. One of the production techniques we decided upon for our film as the story unfolded was to build and animate replicas of real-world places, vehicles and scenarios from Cuttlefish Country out of LEGO. This in turn inspired a range of t-shirts, apparel, badges, hats and other items derived from and inspired by vintage Lego worlds and figures.
Choosing the fundraising platform
Early in the project's life, we had decided to crowd-source additional funds for the film, via a listing on the website Kickstarter. To register with Kickstarter, you must offer donors to your project a teared set of incentives, thankyou gifts in effect, to encourage cash pledges towards your project. This decision was ultimately postponed due to a lack of time and staff in our tiny crew, so instead we took a different tack. Having had prior experience with making custom products on Zazzle and RedBubble, we decided to create some LEGO themed products which could act as fun gifts as well as raise some money for our ongoing production. We even threw a LEGO party, and encouraged friends to bring bricks along to help us build our animated sets or buy some of our products to wear for the occasion.
Design, Customise & Deliver
Our LEGO designs began with the dolphin logo which originally appeared on vintage Lego divers back in the 1990's. Next came designs from townsfolk's minifig shirts and eventually some classics were released from vintage space and knights lines. You will find them all available for purchase below. If you haven't shopped at Zazzle or Redbubble before, you'll be impressed by the way you, the customer, are able to further customise these products. You can easily change the garment style and colour, or in the case of Zazzle, even add your own creative flair by adding extra text or images to the design and modifying the layout. From the maker's perspective, these web 2.0 tools are excellent, as the service provider handles production and delivery, and simply returns a royalty back to you as the creator of the artwork. Establishing stores on these sites is free of charge, and royalties on purchases are set manually by you, the store owner.
I hope you enjoy our little selection of Lego ispired costumes, shirts and products here. If you do purchase one of our items, we'd love to see a picture of you putting it to use when it arrives. We will be hosting a gallery of our friends and fans over at our Cuttlefish Country website in the future.
