Mayor De Blasio Irritably Tells Student Reporter He's Not Doing Affordable Housing Right Now
September 28, 2017 October 13, 2017 / JQ LLC
Whoever asks me a question about city policies gets a fat lip.
The High Line Park, New York, N.Y.
NY Daily News: Mayor de Blasio finally visits the High Line eight years after opening
Mayor de "Faustio", still on his city hall reality tour, had his massive crack team of aides arranged a trip on the upscale High Line Park in Chelsea. The stroll was accompanied by students from the P.S. 33 Chelsea Prep School, some of his commissioners and his nemesii gaggle of reporters.
The nice unseasonably humid day was marred as Mayor Big Slow arrived 20 minutes late and seemed grossly unprepared about the aspects of the upscale gentrifying park and the fact that he has never visited it once in his term. (Well, he has been busy) The students were very knowledgeable about the lush greenery around them, enough to impress the mayor and were very observant and inquisitive about the press accompanying him and how he was trying to ignore them. He responded to the kids that they "followed him around". Silly press doing their jobs to inform the public about accountability from elected officials and authority figures.
But it's where he went later to his alma mater at New York University to meet with an old roommate of his that he dropped this Freudian slip grenade to a student reporter as he was exiting the building.
As Mr. de Blasio left the university, a student reporter named Sam Raskin, tried to ask a question about affordable housing. "We're not doing that right now," the mayor said as he made his way out the building
Emphasis fucking mine.
"We're not doing that right now". Ok, now this quote is isolated and out of context. And there is no video, as of yet, to see the expression on his face or body language delivering these lines. It definitely is though, his usual response when he refuses to answer questions that doesn't, to him, involve what he policy is discussing, as when he bolted from a press conference in front of a billionaire row tower in Midtown. But now as witnessed by journalists during his recent electioneering stroll as he refused to answer any questions pertaining to policy and his plans and policies when/if he gets re-elected, it has devolved into full blown venomous contempt at anyone that asks a question, no matter how soft, like when he was asked about the sumac the student pointed out, but certainly those that are pertinent to the constituency.
"We're not doing that right now". This dismissive and insulting response may just damned himself and his mayoralty despite it being an attempt to insultingly blow off a budding journalist. And might have put any credibility regarding his affordable housing plan into the crapper. Where it belongs. For the majority of these mixed income buildings, even the measly 20% that thousands of the poorest citizens of the 5 boroughs are not affordable at all. The area median incomes continue to rise because of overvalued real estate speculation, more luxury towers keep rising and even the market rate apts. in these new buildings are having an effect on the actual rents and the qualifications for yearly salaries to apply for them. A recent crop of new buildings in Brooklyn and Long Island City measly affordable apartments start at around the 800-1000 range while the majority of the units go for the insane and fabricated market rates of $2,000 for a studio, $2,500 for a one bedroom, and $3,000 for a two bedroom.
The real crazy part of de Faustio's 10 year plan for 200,000 affordable apartments, in congruence with probably more than a half a million luxury apartments, is that the plan was already in fruition back in 2012 (and even that plan was horrible and detrimental). So even though he implemented his policy just last year, some of the buildings and the actual policy were already being used, so technically, Bill hasn't produced much. Except make this affordable housing scheme even worse, by licking the boots of his predatory developer donors and listening to the technocratic stratagems of their public relations firms and his deputy mayor Alicia Glen.
Another take from the Times piece should make anyone pause at this man's disgusting obliviousness, which possibly the kids there did too. At 26th street on the High Line, there is this big window overlooking the street and acts as a cinemascope for the view east, which consists of the project housing across 10th avenue just across the street from the upscale leisure and arts scenes and tower utopia that have engulfed the stretch:
The entourage stopped at an area of benches set out over 26th Street and looked through a frame at a public housing development across the street.
"It is just a big open viewing station; that's all it does?" Mr. de Blasio asked.
"It was meant to showcase a lot of what people don't see in the neighborhood," Robert Hammond, the co-founder and executive director of the Friends of the High Line, told him.
"Very cool," the mayor said.
Very. Cool. If he can only get a view of the utter lack of coolness of similar projects in other places, as those buildings roofs continue to leak, mold continues to fester, and rats and roaches continue to invade and spread disease. This is what's going on now, as it's been for nearly a half century, with the real affordable housing in the city he governs.
Student journalist Sam Raskin may have finally got the correct answer from this mayor about the affordable housing stagnation going on, albeit inadvertently. And de Faustio may have exposed himself as the stupid fucking idiot he is just because he couldn't answer a simple question. Especially something he deceptively bragged about not long ago too.
He knows what it is, and that's why he is stonewalling. 2 recent stories detail how his current plan is not helping the working poor at all, and how the overvalued rental market rate is exacerbating the costs of living here for the majority of tax-paying residents whose salaries can't keep up when the rent is due compared with the wealthier citizens, who can actually afford to live in these alleged affordable housing buildings and have a better chance winning the lottery for the apartments they would qualify for, and still have a robust savings account.
Good job Mr. Raskin and the kids at P.S. 33, you all did more to expose this fauxgressive neoliberal jerk than what the dailies and the prosecutors have tried to do since his elected office transgressions began 3 years ago.

Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
Teresa Mathew Oct 15, 2020
Will Texas Democrats' Gains Topple a Trumpian Sheriff?
Jail deaths and ICE cooperation have defined the first term of Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn, who faces a tough challenge in next month's election.
In Tarrant County, historically a Republican stronghold in Texas, a sheriff election is shaking up the status quo.
Sheriff Bill Waybourn has gained notoriety outside the county, which is home to Fort Worth, for his Trumpian posturing, especially his fear mongering remarks at a White House press briefing on immigration last year. Locally, critics have decried his cooperation with ICE, poor conditions in the county jail system, and his unwillingness to take measures to reduce the jail population during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Next month, Waybourn is facing off against Democratic challenger Vance Keyes, a Marine Corps veteran who has worked for the Fort Worth Police Department for two decades. Keyes believes the nation is "at a tipping point" regarding criminal justice reform, and his platform reflects what would amount to serious changes for the county. He wants to significantly reduce the jail population by making fewer arrests and advocates an end to cash bail. He has committed to changing the jail's approach to healthcare and diverting more people to treatment facilities. And Keyes plans to get rid of the office's 287(g) agreement with ICE.
Demographics in Tarrant County are shifting, and electoral politics seem to be following. After going for Donald Trump for president in 2016, the county voted for Beto O'Rourke over Ted Cruz for Senate in 2018. Now both parties have their eyes on Tarrant County, and bigger players have gotten involved in the sheriff race; O'Rourke has stumped for Keyes and former governor Rick Perry has endorsed Waybourn.
Locally, criminal justice reform advocates see an opportunity to change policies to curb deportations, keep people out of jail, and improve conditions for those who are locked up.
"In this election, specifically, what we know is that Sheriff Waybourn is a danger to our community," said Sindy Mata, an organizer with the group New Sheriff Now Tarrant County, which has been trying to replace Waybourn, "whether it's through 287(g) or the perpetuation of harmful rhetoric or the continuation of a culture that is resulting in deaths of people detained in the jail."
Since January, 10 people incarcerated at the Tarrant County Jail have died. And many people—including county commissioners—have expressed concerns about a lack of transparency and accountability on the part of the sheriff's office.
Other local officials, like County Judge Glen Whitley, have defended the number of fatalities at the jail by saying it is in keeping with comparable counties. According to a data comparison done by the Texas Justice Initiative, it is true that there have been fewer deaths in the Tarrant County sheriff's custody than in counties with similar jail populations during that same time frame. But advocates have countered that even one life lost is a tragedy and that Waybourn's approach to running the jail has made it more dangerous for the people held there.
Texas Justice Initiative found that the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office has reported that 67 percent of its deaths in the last 15 years have been from natural causes. But Krishnaveni Gundu, the executive director and co-founder of the Texas Jail Project, does not trust that classification. "If your blood pressure meds are delayed, or you have diabetes and you die and they say it's a natural cause, that's not true," she said. "It's negligence."
Gundu explained that the current system of prescribing and administering medication is divided between a local mental health authority, a healthcare provider, and the jail—an arrangement that often causes patients to fall through the cracks. With multiple entities involved, "it's very easy for them to point fingers at each other," she said.
A former jail supervisor who worked in two Tarrant County correctional facilities from 2007 until January of this year spoke to The Appeal: Political Report on the condition of anonymity because he hopes to work in the system again in the future. He told a similar story: "There are not enough caseworkers or psychologists to see every inmate every week. … I've gotten complaints from inmates saying their medication has run out and they can't get any more."
The former supervisor also said that misclassification during booking has led to people with mental disabilities or medical needs being placed with the general population or in single cells instead of on the medical floor. He said this has led to incidents of violence and has meant that vulnerable people were not receiving the monitoring they needed. In May, the Tarrant County Jail lost state certification for nearly a week after an internal investigation into a suicide exposed that jailers had been late conducting welfare checks. In the same month, they failed to notice that a pregnant woman had given birth unassisted in her cell; the baby later died.
A spokesperson for the jail said via email that some characterizations of the facility were inaccurate, but did not provide specifics or respond to requests for further details.
Waybourn did not respond to the Political Report's requests for comment. He told Fort Worth Weekly that he is committed to improving reentry programs and that his office is working on a mental health diversion center that would allow it "to take people who would benefit from mental health care out of our jail and place them in an environment that would help get them the care they need." Yet local advocates have little faith in this plan, pointing out that Waybourn has thus far instituted few reforms.
Keyes said he would introduce a model for redirecting people who need healthcare to treatment facilities "in cases where a pre-existing mental or physical condition exists, such as a detoxing or medically ill defendant." In an email he said that "booking will refuse to accept prisoners until they have received proper medical attention."
Keyes also said he plans to implement a policy requiring the jail to guarantee that prescriptions are renewed within a week. And he would require classification officers to administer a psychosocial and medical assessment before prisoners are housed, to ensure that those in high-risk categories would be diverted to the medical floor.
Beyond these reforms, Keyes said he wants to make sure fewer people end up in jail in the first place.
He said he would work with the local district attorney's office to advocate for an end to cash bail. And he wants to change the way sheriff's deputies handle certain low-level offenses so that they arrest fewer people.
This would take the form of giving verbal warnings or issuing citations instead, he said. For instance, he pointed out that when an officer stops someone for a traffic violation, like a broken tail light, sheriffs in other jurisdictions have partnered "with garages to get the cars fixed so that person doesn't have to go to court." He pointed to other minor offenses, including shoplifting and possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, as ones where he would consider implementing such strategies.
Advocates have also been frustrated by Waybourn's refusal to consider compassionate release for incarcerated people during the pandemic, especially given that jails are known hotspots for the novel coronavirus. "With COVID, Sheriff Waybourn has not made any changes to reduce the amount of people incarcerated by releasing people with minor offenses or those who are the most vulnerable," said Mata. "And that's something that needs to happen immediately." Keyes told the Political Report that he believes in compassionate release for people who are high risk.
One of the biggest contrasts between the candidates, though, has emerged on another critical issue in Tarrant County: immigration.
During his run for sheriff in 2015, Waybourn said he was opposed to sanctuary cities and wanted deputies to work alongside ICE to apprehend undocumented immigrants. After taking office, he entered into a 287(g) agreement with the agency, which allows local law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration law.
During a community meeting in 2018, Waybourn justified the decision by saying his department was "not enforcing immigration laws on the street. We're going after the child molester, we're going after the murder suspect." But last year, the bigotry underlying Waybourn's immigration policies became clear when he called undocumented immigrants in custody "drunks" who will "run over your children" during a White House event.
Jonathan Guadian, a member of ICE Out of Tarrant, a coalition of organizations including United Fort Worth and RAICES, said Waybourn has actually used 287(g) to target undocumented immigrants arrested for low-level offenses, like marijuana possession. "We were finding that many of the people arrested … were immediately handed over to ICE before being issued charges from public administrators like judges," Guadian said. "They weren't even getting their day in court to dispute the charge."
Keyes has committed to revoking the 287(g) agreement, which he says has created mistrust between the undocumented population and law enforcement. "If they're victims, how much less likely are they to come forward if they believe they or a loved one are going to be deported?" he asked.
Immigration rights advocates nationwide are pushing sheriffs to cut off all sorts of modes of cooperation with ICE, though in Texas they are also challenging a state law called SB4 that requires sheriffs to assist the agency in certain ways. In spite of SB4, the 287(g) program remains voluntary in Texas.
Tarrant County may be part of a burgeoning trend of criminal justice reform becoming an issue in sheriff's elections, according to Emily M. Farris, an associate professor of political science at Texas Christian University.
"Over the last decade there's been this progressive reform movement in district attorney's offices," Farris said. "We see folks elected to DA offices who have reform ideas and make real change. It's interesting to parallel that with sheriffs and think, 'Are we seeing similar types of candidates turn up in sheriffs offices?'"
Farris noted that a key difference between both offices is that DAs can be elected after serving as public defenders or holding a variety of other jobs within the legal system. Sheriffs, on the other hand, more often have a background in law enforcement. "If you're going to be an officer you've bought into certain ideas of what the criminal justice system is," Farris said. "The range is much more narrow. But [Keyes], I think, is on the end of pushing what that range is."

Have you ever been to the place where hope and fear are wrestling for control of your emotions? I've been living at that intersection for a while now.
I've been waiting on the opportunity to begin working at a job that has more meaning for me than the corporate job I've been at for a number of years. "Waiting" may not be the best word here. "Frantically trying to find something else but not being able to force anything to happen" would probably be better.
Yesterday, I was at a really low point. I felt like everything within me was driving over the cliff of depression and anger and frustration.
I felt like my life was a prison sentence to mundane mediocrity. I wanted somebody to blame for the fact that my life isn't the fairy tale that I'd like it to be, and God is an easy punching bag.
He's all powerful, so anything that goes wrong is his fault! As these thoughts kept filling my head, I realized how childish I was being. I also recognized the voice of the enemy, telling me to 'Curse God and die'.
I apologized to God for being immature and I worshiped him. I thanked him. I asked for help and mercy.
On the way home, a thought came to me. "Hope deferred makes the heart sick." I knew it was scripture, so I looked it up. It's Proverbs 13:12.
I had no idea why the Holy Spirit was telling me this. I have been living in a place of unrelenting disappointment for many months. I knew I was heart sick. For God to confirm, 'look, I know that being in a depressing rut for a long time will really hurt you' didn't make me feel any better.
Heck, I had been chastising myself for wanting something better. "God has me here, so I need to learn to be okay with it. I need to learn how to be content in the midst of frustration" was my attitude. But the Bible said something completely different. Constant frustration will make your heart sick. You need fulfilled dreams to be happy. This sounds more like something Barbie would say in one of my daughters cartoons than what we expect from the Bible.
Yet here was the Holy Spirit, bringing this very thing to mind.
Later that evening, I got some really good news. Not good enough to let me quit my job immediately, but good news. A door opening really wide.
I have felt like a plant that was in a too small pot and not getting any water or sunlight, and this news felt like water and sunlight. I believe the day is coming soon when I'll be moved to a bigger pot so I can begin to grow into the tree God wants me to be.
I'm deeply grateful to serve a God who cares about me, even though he doesn't owe me anything. A God who knows how much we need hope, and showed up yesterday after my time of testing to give me what I haven't earned.

Donald Trump's Challenge To His Administration
by Thierry Meyssan
President Trump made a lot of promises in terms of international relations during his election campaign. He achieved little, except the end of US support for Daesh. Despite the hostility of his own administration, he advances on several fronts simultaneously. He hopes to be able to impose his point of view and take advantage of this radical change to represent himself before the electorate.
Voltaire Network | Damascus (Syria) | 17 September 2019
عربي Deutsch ελληνικά Español français italiano Português română русский Türkçe
Donald Trump and John Bolton
Several things are clear about the possible change of doctrine of the United States that I announced two weeks ago [1]. For the past three years, President Trump has been trying to impose his point of view on an administration whose senior civil servants have been riveted for 18 years on the Rumsfeld / Cebrowski doctrine of destroying state structures in entire regions of the non-globalized world. On the contrary, for Donald Trump, it is appropriate, from a Jacksonian perspective, to substitute negotiation and business for war, so as to dominate the world in good agreement with Russia and China and no longer against them. He hopes to achieve his goals for September 23, the date of his speech at the UN, one year before the US presidential election. He could thus justify running for a second term by asserting his balance sheet.
The new elements that complement what I said about Syria and Venezuela are Afghanistan, Iran and Yemen. But the most obvious of course is the resignation of National Security Advisor John Bolton. He was not asked to resign, but thanked for his kind and loyal service.
John Bolton is absolutely not a neo-conservative as some media have written, but a staunch supporter of "American exceptionalism" [2]. This school of thought is based on the myth of the "Pilgrim Fathers". It refuses to apply international treaties in domestic law; judges the behavior of others with severity, but on principle absolves Americans who act in the same way; and refuses any international jurisdiction in its internal affairs. In a word, it believes that, for religious reasons, the United States is not comparable to other states and must not submit to any international law.
This colorful character does not hesitate to say what suits him, without worrying about proofs or verisimilitude. Thus, in the Syrian Accountability Act vote in 2003, he argued in Congress that Syria - like Iraq - was threatening world peace with weapons of mass destruction. More recently, he made history by banning the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal from coming to investigate in the United States.
John Bolton, who is very popular with ultra-right voters, does not share President Trump's ideas on international politics. The only National Security adviser who was in harmony with him was General Michael Flynn, who was forced to resign after only three weeks. Bolton succeeded him after General H. R. McMaster. As in the US soap operas, he played with Donald Trump the role of "bad cop", allowing the president to appear much more conciliatory.
The second element is the evolution of the Afghan and Yemeni conflicts. It was known that the United States had begun negotiations with the Taliban at the end of the Obama mandate in 2015 in Qatar. What is less known is that since March 2019, President Trump has negotiated Afghanistan's future, not only with the country's authorities and insurgents, but also with Russia and China. This time it was not a question of sharing power between the two factions, but of recognizing the legitimacy of the Taliban resistance to foreign presences on their soil in exchange for its condemnation of jihadism. Two meetings were held in Moscow and Beijing [3]. Another was secretly scheduled to be held last week at Camp David, in the presence of Presidents Donald Trump and Ashraf Ghani. Alas! On September 5, the Taliban, wishing to negotiate through force, claimed an attack in Kabul, killing twelve people, including a US citizen. Immediately the Camp David meeting was canceled and the US Army bombed Taliban areas.
At the same time, it was reported that Washington had begun secret negotiations with Yemeni Houthis who are challenging the power of the internationally recognized president, Abdrabbo Mansour Hadi. A few weeks ago, Washington presented them as Iranian agents. The United States suddenly remembered that the Houthis were not supported by Iran at the beginning of the conflict and that they joined forces with Tehran only for the sake of survival. Therefore, it is obvious that in view of the Saudo-Emirati disagreements, Washington's interest is no longer to support a puppet whom no one obeys and who has long ago taken refuge in Saudi Arabia.
During these negotiations, the war continues without the United States. The Houthis sent a dozen drones to burn Aramco factories. Riyadh claimed to have suffered considerable damage, halving its domestic production. Mike Pompeo has denounced the hand of Tehran who is attacking the global supply of oil. All of this is disproportionate, to say the least. These statements must be interpreted in the context of our third point: the relations between the United States and Iran.
Recall the data: in 2012, the Obama administration secretly negotiated in Oman with emissaries of the Guide of the Revolution sidelining the team of the nationalist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the election of a merchant in arms of the Iran-Contras affair, Sheikh Hassan Rohani. Once elected, an international agreement, JCPoA, was negotiated in Switzerland. It denounced the impossibility of reactivating the military nuclear program that the Revolutionary Guards had abandoned in 1988, considering weapons of mass destruction as incompatible with their vision of Islam. While a second agreement, bilateral and secret this time, planned to supply Europe with Iranian gas to replace Russian gas. When he arrived at the White House, Donald Trump meant for the United States to control the world energy market, but not at the expense of Russia or China with whom he hoped to dominate the world. He therefore withdrew from the two agreements with Iran and immediately proposed to resume the discussion. Realizing that he had everything to lose in exchange, Sheikh Hassan Rohani demanded respect for the word given, refused the outstretched hand, and-considering an impeachment imminent - declared to wait for the return of the Democrats to the White House. The Guide of the Revolution, meanwhile, reacted in religious and not in politic. Outraged by US disloyalty, which he condemned morally, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei instructed his personal army, the Guardians of the Revolution, to extend his authority over all foreign Shia communities. Overnight, the Guardians stopped defending Iranian national interests for Shiite religious interests; a turnaround that was particularly visible in Syria and becomes so in Lebanon. Last week, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, delivering a speech on Achourra Day, introducing his organization no longer as the Lebanese Resistance to Imperialism, but as loyal to Ayatollah Khamenei. . This is obviously not a 180-degree turn, but rather a support for the Guide to the Revolution on the eve of negotiations.
It seems that all this agitation could stop: the two parties are showing their muscles while preparing to talk to each other again. So far, Russia has had good relations with Iran while knowing of the Persian hope of replacing Russian gas in Europe. Simultaneously, it did not intervene when Israel was crossing the Syrian skies - which it controls - to bombard Iranian targets. Moscow could stop playing with carrot and stick. It could guarantee the sincerity of a US-Iran-Iran agreement (or rather its sustainability), if it were not against Moscow anymore. In this case, it would protect the Iranian bases in the Middle East. It is, it seems, what Vladimir Putin has just announced to Benjamin Netanyahu.
All these advances support the role of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He appears as the true architect of Donald Trump's foreign policy. He was the first CIA director of the new president. He now has the privilege of being invited every day to his briefing with the Agency, so that he combines information from the CIA and the State Department. Above all, he is the designer of the president's energy strategy [4]. Some of the Republican leaders do not believe that Donald Trump will succeed in imposing anything on the military, and certainly not the doctrine - according to them outdated - of President Andrew Jackson. They advised Pompeo not to go down with his boss, but to resign and to run for The Senate in Kansas.

She is now a full-time blogger and shares fun creative content with her followers.
BILLY KHEEL (Age 43, Los Angeles, CA) — A Massachusetts native, Kheel attended boarding school and then moved on to Wesleyan University where he played sports and pursued his love of art. Kheel spent time in New York before moving to Los Angeles where he met his wife. Now a full-time artist and visiting art teacher at schools across the city, his focus of applique and felt is very unique from other mediums in the competition and sets his work apart.
ROBERT MAHAR (Age 46, Los Angeles, CA) — A Midwest native, Mahar's creativity developed from a childhood filled with library books and public television.Mahar is now an artist and designer who teaches imaginative do-it-yourself projects and is at the helm of a craft-driven collection for Knock Knock.

JEMMA OLSON (Age 60, Rockwall, TX) — A self-proclaimed heartfelt crafter, mother of eight and grandmother of 16, Olson comes from a generation of crafters that made things out of necessity as opposed to beauty.

Not the stereotypical grandmother by any means, Olson spends time with her younger family members to stay in the know of all things pop culture.
JEFFERY RUDELL (Age 54, New York, NY) — Rudell grew up in the Midwest where his father worked at a paper mill and kept him well supplied with cardboard, foil and tissue.

City Beach Saturday 27th March 2021
Icehouse » City Beach » Artists
With a career spanning nearly 40 years, ICEHOUSE is one of Australia's most iconic bands, transcending age groups with their hit songs, well known and loved by audiences across generations. ICEHOUSE has played to sell-out capacity audiences in Australia, New Zealand and throughout the World.
ICEHOUSE was formed by Iva Davies, the band's frontman and musical creative force, who lead the band to an amazing 28 Platinum albums, eight Top 10 albums and over thirty Top 40 singles.
ICEHOUSE started as a pub rock band called FLOWERS, who scored a record deal with Regular Records and released their first singles, Can't Help Myself and We Can Get Together. The band's debut album, ICEHOUSE, was released in the same year to critical acclaim and reached multi platinum status in Australia and New Zealand where they toured for the first time. ICEHOUSE soon became the highest selling debut album by any band in Australia, a record it was to hold well into the 1990s. The iconic cover art for the album, featuring branches intertwined, was created by drummer, John Lloyd, a former art student. After performing their song ICEHOUSE at the Countdown Awards, the band was awarded with the Johnny O'Keefe Award for Best New Talent of 1980.
Pete Murray is one of Australia's most-loved and respected singer songwriters. He has sold out countless national tours and written 5 hit records that have amassed more 1 million album sales to date. The talented musician has also achieved plenty of multi platinum singles with hit singles like 'So Beautiful', 'Opportunity' and crowd favourites 'Connected' and 'Always a Winner'. Murray released his most recent album, 'Camacho', in mid 2017 to popular acclaim and is currently working on new music to share with his adoring fan base.
YOU AM I
You Am I are without doubt one of Australia's all-time essential rock n' roll bands.
More than two decades on from their first album release, You Am I have not only had one of the longest and most successful recording careers in Australia, but are also without doubt one of our most loved live bands.
Featuring guitarist and vocalist Tim Rogers along with band mates Russell Hopkinson on drums, Andy Kent on Bass, and (since 1999) Davey Lane on guitar, You Am I have released Ten studio albums to date.
Their last studio album was the 2015 critically acclaimed "Porridge & Hot Sauce" release. Three of their releases have debuted at number one on the ARIA charts in consecutive order – 1995's "Hi Fi Way", 1996's "Hourly, Daily" and 1998's "#4 Record" – with the Albums also receiving multiple Platinum and Gold status for commercial sales.
The band have won a total of Ten ARIA Awards including Album of the year, Best Group, and Best Independent Release.
Tex Perkins
Tex Perkins has played a key role in Australian music & it's understandably difficult to pull together a coherent picture of a man whose career has taken in everything from the groundbreaking experimental punktonica of Sydney mid-80s noiseniks Thug to the lilting, dark country of his recent material with the Dark Horses. From the hard edged pub rock of the Beasts Of Bourbon's, a snarling slice of filthy pub rock to the evocative soundscapes of The Cruel Sea, whose extraordinary 1991 single 'This Is Not The Way Home' placed Perkins' world-weary growl in a new musical context and heralded the emergence of an entirely original yet archetypically Australian sound.
Let's talk about the Tex, Don & Charlie albums, which saw Perkins joining forces with the legendary Don Walker, Cold Chisel's pianist and master songwriter, and Charlie Owen, previously Australia's best kept musical secret. Or the TNT project, where he and contemporary Tim Rogers celebrated their long-term friendship with a little tongue-in-cheek. And then there are the five Tex Perkins solo albums, which the Dark Horses congealed around him. More recently he has been travelling the country in the hit Theatre Production The Man In Black, staring as Johnny Cash.
It's been twenty years since Hooper Siblings Killing Heidi released their disarming folk pop song, 'Kettle' on triple j unearthed. The band soon expanded into colourful teenage power pop and burst onto the national and international stage with their breakthrough debut album Reflector, released in March 2000.
Anthemic singles 'Mascara' and 'Weir' made Reflector a blow-out success and cemented the work as one of Australia's most loved pop albums. The early naughties belonged to Killing Heidi with Weir placing #2 and Mascara #14 in triple j's Hottest 100. Reflector went onto to take out four ARIA awards and reach 4 x platinum status.
The Hooper siblings also won the critically-acclaimed APRA songwriters of the year award. A seminal part of the Aus indie music story. Reflector has now been released digitally

As a Black woman who left the man made crap of religion, but still wholeheartedly believes in God, I enjoy listening to these guys and their perspective. A little long winded but I enjoy it once they get into the topics. I appreciate their realness and transparency.
This podcast has some really good aspects and some really not so great aspects.
Among the great: I really enjoy how open and honest these guys are and willing to pretty much talk about anything.
Among the not so great: this is a very long winded podcast (aka conversational) where it sounds like they just hit record and talk for 1.5 hours. I frankly don't have time in my life to listen to that much material. I'd rather listen to a podcast that is edited down to 30-45 minutes.
My main gripe is the thing they talk about often and seem to not really understand: Christians are to be above reproach. Plain and simple. I could quote TONS of scripture that calls us as followers of Jesus to be holy, but I'm not going to. You can go read the Bible for yourself. I will say that crassness for crassness sake is just lame and sad. I always wished they would go through a phase of cussing or whatever and then work back to what I would call Biblical Christianity. The amount of violent, sexual, and otherwise R rated material is not something I would want to listen to, even on a "secular" (yes, I hate that term too) podcast.
A front row seat to Christian deconstructionism.
It has really saddened me to watch from the beginning as these three guys "edgy"christian guys go from proclaiming faith in Christ in an albeit unconventional format to being basically agnostic. It became clear that their faith wasn't built in Christ but in their Christian culture so this straw man faith they had is easily knocked down because they're not worshipping God but themselves and the culture they're a part of. I would recommend the Alissa Childers podcast or Ravi Zacharias or one of many other real biblically based podcasts.

Life is short, they told us from the start.
life is often viewed, perhaps sardonically, but with a certain modicum of truth, as something somewhat cruel.
But, when utilized properly, filled with good food and drink, and good people on all sides to share it with, a moment can last a thousand years, each one better than the last.
The smell of black coffee immediately brings me back to the childhood hours spent in airports across the world; flights to and from Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Reykjavik, Chicago. The fresh pastries; croissants with butter, raspberry cream donuts, kaiser rolls, and walnut snails ready to eat while waiting wide-eyed, watching a thousand people pass by, and then a thousand more.
Getting together the last bit of change in my pocket to buy a fresh pretzel from the stand, or something warm to drink when the wind blows cold.
A tall glass of orange juice reminds of the sun shining warm across the breakfast table.
It's not just about luxury; not just about the foie gras with black truffle, or having caviar twice a day (though I would not object). It's not about differentiating between to have and have not: There have been times in my life that I have been able to afford the finest, and times in my life when I have not been able to afford more than a cold sandwich and $3 Chablis.
But to appreciate food and drink all the same.
There is something so immensely powerful in these memories. Each moment tastes a little different as it passes, as we grow up and grow older. But they all smell the same. I didn't love the taste of mushrooms, or liver and onions, or anything with a complex flavor profile as a child, but I can remember the smell of what my parents and grandparents cooked on the stove and in the oven.
So to this we seek out our favorites: we latch onto the familiar sensations that come from the tastes we love, and the memories from the smells we know.
But we also seek the beauty of trying something new; searching for flavors previously undiscovered; the need to go beyond the familiar and dive headfirst into a life of culinary adventure. If you have fallen in love with one taste, one dish, one morsel of food, then surely you can love another.
Because we know that, on some level, everything is all right if only we can taste something better than ourselves. A midday break for lunch gives respite from hard work. A tough day that ends with a cold beer or glass of wine. A meal with friends, dining out or eating in, creates an atmosphere of unmatched, unbridled contentment.
Food on the table. Drink in hand. The world spinning until it stops for that single moment when your fork passes your teeth, or the glass presses to your lips.
It is about the good life. A life where we can sit around long tables with seats filled with smiling/laughing faces, the tabletop covered in plates and glasses and silverware, the pièce de résistance glowing in the center. The sounds, the smells, the tastes.
Or, perhaps, just a sandwich and $3 bottle of Chablis.
I am now surrounded by food from all over the world. This is something 2017 in the Twin Cities has afforded me. I can enjoy East African for lunch and East Asian for dinner via the peoples who have made Minnesota their home. I can enjoy hot dish from a Lutheran grandmother's kitchen, and then go out for tamales and beer before getting ramen and pizza late-night.
Everything old and new coming together. Classic dishes from homelands near and far (the familiar smells and tastes of friends and neighbors), mixed with an always-changing array of new ideas, new ingredients, new influences.
Which is more important, the foods of beautiful antiquity, or the dishes that personify modernity? I say they are both equal at the dinner table.
It reminds that the best parts of life are simple: Is it better to take over the world, or just to enjoy the things it has to offer? Because what a beautiful world it is that can produce these smells, these tastes, these moments that seem to last forever.
It is only when surrounded by such (good food and drink) that these questions can even be asked; that the good life is evident, and tangible. That the future seems so bright, and so delicious.

Pence touts Republican health plan, seeking Sen. Paul's support; Democrats say vice president's remarks about Ky. are off base
By Al Cross Published March 12, 2017 YOUR HEALTH
Gov. Bevin and Vice President Pence (C-J photo by Sam Upshaw)
By Al Cross
Kentucky again became the epicenter of the health-care debate on Saturday, as Vice President Mike Pence claimed in Louisville that "Kentucky is a textbook example of Obamacare's failures," while Democrats said Pence didn't know what he was talking about.
"Obamacare has failed the people of Kentucky, Obamacare has failed the people of America and Obamacare must go!" Pence told an invited audience of more than 100.
Pence, until recently governor of Indiana, cited rising premiums for federally subsidized policies sold on government exchanges and Louisville-based Humana Inc.'s planned departure from the exchanges, and claimed "Nearly half of the state only has one health insurer to choose from."
That's true only in the number of counties with one Obamacare insurer; most of them are relatively small. Rep. Andy Barr, R-Lexington, defending the Republican replacement bill on CNN after the event, said incorrectly, "Here in Kentucky almost 50 percent of the people have only one choice."
Pence continued, "One-third of the state is on Medicaid, and as your governor has said over and over again, it's unsustainable. And Medicaid here in Kentucky is threatening to bankrupt this state." For a transcript of Pence's remarks, go to http://ci.uky.edu/dev/kentuckyhealthnews/r/.
Gov. Matt Bevin, who introduced Pence at the energy-management firm Harshaw Trane, has asked federal officials to let him scale back the Obamacare expansion of Medicaid by his predecessor, Democrat Steve Beshear. President Trump's administration is expected to approve the request.
"As Bevin and Pence were denouncing Obamacare, supporters unleashed a flurry of tweets citing benefits of the law in Kentucky," reports The Courier-Journal's Deborah Yetter. Outside the event, "More than 600 people gathered along the road," The C-J reported. "Many of the protesters chanted, 'Save our care'."
At a press conference after the Republican event, Beshear said the expansion has had a positive impact on the state budget and economy, by funneling billions of federal dollars into the state's health-care system. He said of Pence, "He apparently has decided to join the governor in ignoring the facts about how successful the ACA has been in Kentucky and instead enter the world of alternative facts."
Beshear noted that more than 500,000 Kentuckians gained health coverage under the ACA, and that the state "saw
its uninsured population drop from about 20 percent to about 7 percent," James Bruggers writes for The Courier-Journal. "But Kentuckians also voted for Trump, who campaigned on a promise to repeal and replace Obamacare."
"Beshear acknowledged there were problems with parts of Obamacare, such as limited participation by insurance companies in some states or counties," Bruggers reports. "But he said Republican critics caused that by creating too much uncertainty. As a result, he said, some insurers 'are sitting on the sidelines'. He said he'd like the two parties to work together on solving those problems."
Rep. John Yarmuth of Louisville, the only Democrat in the Kentucky congressional delegation, told WHAS-TV, said the Republican bill "would devastate places like Kentucky, which have very poor populations and desperate need for health care."
Yarmuth said in a CNN interview that Obamacare "is definitely sustainable," but "Insurance markets need work." He said he favors allowing people to "buy into Medicare. But I don't get total agreement on that from many people."
Yarmuth said Pence came to put pressure on U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, who has called the Republican health bill "Obamacare lite." Paul said Saturday, "What's going on behind the scenes this week is a charm offensive." Paul will be on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday.
Pence didn't mention Paul in his speech, but said, "Now I know that not every politician in Kentucky supports our plan to repeal and replace Obamacare. I know your former governor, Steve Beshear has been defending Obamacare all over America." He called Beshear is a friend with whom he had worked, "but your former governor is wrong about Obamacare."
Pence complimented 2nd District U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Bowling Green, for supporting the bill in committee. "We need every Republican in Congress, and we're counting on Kentucky," he said.
First District Rep. James Comer said in a brief interview Saturday that he was leaning toward supporting the bill. Fourth District Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Vanceburg, a Paul ally, told The Washington Examiner that the bill is "a stinking pile of garbage."
Bevin told reporters Friday that he is closer to Paul on the issue. "Senator Paul has ideas; he thinks it needs to be a lot stronger. He's not as impressed with what has currently been offered as some who have currently offered it. Truth be told, I'm not either, so I'm with him. I think there are things that need to be done. We don't need another version of the same thing."
Bevin said the Medicaid expansion "is not working well. It's coming at a price that's unaffordable . . . While we have enrolled a lot of people, we haven't made people healthier, we really have not, nor are we on track to do it, and we're on track basically to break the system."
Bevin has noted that few Medicaid members get regular checkups. On the other hand, a survey of low-income Kentuckians found they had become more likely to say they were in excellent health than their counterparts in Texas, which didn't expand Medicaid. The researchers wrote, "Significant impacts of Medicaid expansion may take several years to unfold."
Bevin also told reporters, "We have rural hospitals that, rather than becoming stronger, have failed since the implementation of this in Kentucky. We have doctors that have given up their practices; some have retired, some have sold out. We have fewer and fewer doctors who are even willing to see Medicaid patients." Bevin's office has not responded to a request for evidence supporting that statement.

- Protect your SWF files: irrFuscator obfuscates the Actionscript 3 bytecode in Flash and Flex SWF files so that decompilers wont be able to extract your function, variable and constant names anymore.
- Protect your Flex projects: irrFuscator can read in a directory of .as and .mxml files, process them and put them out into a target directory. Simply recompile the directory with the obfuscated files and your .swf files are a lot safer.
- Obfuscate .MXML, .AS and .SWF files: irrFuscator just works: In contrast to many other SWF protectors, irrfuscator doesnt encrypt the SWF, it obfuscates the code, removing all the information from it. In this way it cannot be decrypted because the information simply isnt there anymore. Thats why many big browser game and website developers rely on the strong protection irrFuscator provides.

Q: How to create a list of many characters in python? I would like to create a list of size 100 in python that contains the character x_i for i=1...100. How to do this in Python?
['x_1', 'x_2', ..., 'x_100']

If it was a list of 10 character I would write it by hand, but a hundred elements?

A: you can use list comprehension
["x_{}".format(i) for i in range(1, 101)]

A: my_list = []
for i in xrange(1, 101): #use range if python 3+
  my_list.append('x_{0}'.format(i))

print my_list

This is easier to understand if you're just getting started.  Xrange starts at 1 and goes to 101 (exclusive).

A: It looks like you may be a beginner so here is a simple example:
mylist = []
for i in range(1, 101):
    mylist.append('x_'+str(i))
print(mylist)

A: ["x_"+str(i) for i in range(1,101)]

Using list comprehension.

When it comes to keeping your hair shiny and beautiful, it is very important to make sure your hair oil levels are on point. There's a fine line between dry and oily hair. Too much oil and your hair will be stinky and will stick together. Too dry of hair and it will be coming out, splitting, and almost impossible to control.
That's why I have created a list of top 10 best shampoos for oily hair in 2019. These shampoos use various ingredients to remove the grease and oil from your hair and leave your scalp clean and hydrated. As always, you will probably need to test several of these shampoos to determine which one works best for your hair. But once you've found your winner, you will delighted to be able to manipulate your hair how you want it.
Without going much further into it, here are the 10 shampoos chosen so you can determine which one will be your best shampoo for oily hair.
Degrease shampoo by Maple Holistics is one of the most popular shampoos for oily hair on Amazon. Not only does it work to remove grease from your hair, it also helps to stabilize the balance of oils in your hair and scalp for a clean and healthy scalp. In addition, it will also control your dandruff and flaking, if you have any. The reason it does so many things at once is due to the good ingredients it utilizes such as botanical keratin, rosemary, and provitamin B5. This shampoo also aids in hair growth and is hypoallergenic for those with sensitive skin and allergies.
This shampoo is specifically formulated to tackle the problems of oily hair that many individuals have. The way its mechanism works is by providing a synergy of ingredients such as organic lavender, red thyme, evening primrose, rosemary and yarrow in order to provide relief of grease and oils. In addition, this shampoo does not contain any harsh chemicals or sulfates, which is a major plus. If your hair is greasy, give this shampoo a try and let me know how it works for you.
Here is another well-rated shampoo that aims to get your oily hair under control. The main ingredient it uses to dissolve excess oil is lemon tea tree oil and lemon peel extract. Once those two ingredients are done doing their job, then you have organic Maca root extract, which will help strengthen and protect your hair. If you thought all of that was wonderful, then wait till you smell this shampoo. It has a delicious fragrance that's not too strong or overpowering, but just the right balance. If you prefer, they also have a fragrance variation.
If you were looking to get a shampoo that works well and smells even better, then Fekkai's Apple Cider shampoo might be what you were looking for. It has a fresh apple and pear scent that feels light and fruity, but never annoying and overpowering. It is infused with apple cider and the silicone-free purifying cleanser clears your hair and removes buildup. If your hair is just too messy, greasy, and dirty, then this shampoo should restore it to its original beauty.
Neutrogena is a popular brand of cosmetics that has many products you can use for beauty and health. This shampoo is no exception. It's one of the most popular Neutrogena shampoos and for a good reason. It helps boost hair volume, removes over 90% of dulling residue within your hair, and is only meant to be used once a week. That means you won't run through this shampoo like you do with all other ones. The best part about it is that it will work for all hair types and will leave its signature fresh and light scent when you're done.
Head & Shoulders has been my go-to shampoo for oily hair and dandruff treatment for many years. While there are various Head & Shoulders shampoos that utilize different ingredients, the one that I've found works best for me contains pyrithione zinc. It is pH balanced and keeps your hair very fresh, clean, and hydrated. You actually notice immediate results after the first use, especially if your hair is very oily and greasy. In addition to keeping the grease away, it works wonders to heal and prevent dandruff. As far as dandruff goes, ingredients work differently on everyone, so it is up to you to test and see if pyrithione zinc works best for you.
This is one of the most versatile shampoos on this list. It can be used for dry, oily, curly or fine hair. Which pretty much means it applies to majority of people. It has no sulfates or harmful chemicals, so the organic in its name really means organic. The shampoo itself makes use of several different extracts and essential oils such as coconut oil, olive fruit oil, sunflower seed oil, aloe vera juice, citric acid, Shea butter, and rosemary flower extract. It has a wonderful list of ingredients that work well to clean your hair and scalp nice and clean. It is also especially useful for those with very sensitive skin. Due to this, it can be used as an every day shampoo and won't due any harm if used for extended periods of time.
Paul Mitchell is another big brand in the cosmetics industry and this shampoo shows why they're so good. This shampoo will deeply cleanse your oil hair and scalp to leave your hair fresh, shiny and beautiful. It also works with your scalp to minimize oil production over time so hair becomes better and better as each day goes by. This shampoo is made to be used weekly rather than daily, so you can continue using your regular shampoo all the other days. Some of the ingredients include seaweed extract, aloe vera extract, Roman Chamomile flower extract, Jajoba seed extract, rosemary extract, and wheat germ oil.
First of all, this is a dry shampoo, which means it is more like a fancy hair spray. This is super useful if you have an extremely oily hair and you need a way to remove that oil between your showers. If you find yourself in the middle of nowhere with no access to the shower, then simply spray on this dry shampoo and watch the oil and greasy disappear from your hair and scalp. The main ingredient that works its magic here is the Nettle extract, which regulates sebum production in the scalp. It also includes corn and rice starch which help clean your hair and natural absorbent microspheres to eliminate dirt and odors.
This is another wonderful shampoo that tries to control the extreme oil and grease in your hair without irritating your skin. It works by utilizing ingredients such as propolis, nettle, and peppermint. It's similar to the previous shampoo mentioned above, except this one is a real shampoo you use while you shower. It's also supposed to contain the bio cotton protection system, which apparently strengthens hair texture and builds a protective shield against environmental damage, however, I'm not sure of its effectiveness on the last part. After all, it is just a shampoo so it all depends on your daily life and what you put your hair through.

Chaifetz Students Build NCAA Database for WME and USA Today
Chaifetz School of Business alum Bob Lattinville (CSB '87) of WME agency and Steve Berkowitz of USA Today have partnered to create a comprehensive database of NCAA coaches' salaries and portfolios. For nearly a decade, Lattinville has worked with management professor Tassos Kaburakis, Ph.D, to enlist the help of SLU student interns to update the database annually. This year, four Chaifetz School students participated in the program and gained hands-on sports business experience: seniors Rebecca Duttlinger and Tyler Myers, junior Matthew Kowalski and sophomore Grace Schott.
WME agency is part of holding company Endeavor, which is also responsible for other major agencies like IMG, UFC and Miss Universe. The exposure Chaifetz School students gain working for a such an industry leading organization positions the students for long-term success.
"It's been awesome to work behind the scenes and be able to take a more hands-on approach to how the sports business world actually works," Kowalski said. "We see what contracts look like and how that plays out between the agents' roles and the athletes' roles. I know you hear about coaches signing new contracts in the news but now we're able to see what the process actually looks like."
SLU student interns have worked to maintain a comprehensive database of NCAA coaches' salaries and portfolios for professionals at WME agency and USA Today.
After the student interns went through training with Lattinville and Berkowitz, they were able to handle real data, updating and analyzing the database published on USA Today.
"The students develop a working knowledge of employment agreements generally and college coach contracts specifically," Lattinville said. "They also develop real-world applications for this information in the context of representing and serving individuals and institutions in the collegiate sports industry."
After their training, the interns were well-equipped to work through batches of contracts, pulling out and analyzing the most important parts. Schott said that this internship has been really beneficial in helping her determine her post-graduate plans.
"I have been thinking about going to law school, so when I got this opportunity it gave me an insight to that side of things," Schott said. "It made me think, maybe I want to do this, maybe I want to generate and edit these contracts because I've really liked it so far."
Schott said that her work has especially changed how she watches and understands college basketball in her free time. When she saw a team win in an NCAA tournament, she understood what kind of payout the coach would be earning, and that each detail of the game essentially shifted and changed the monetary result.
All the interns agreed that their mentors have been essential to their appreciation and understanding of the work.
"Bob and Steve have been really great to bounce ideas off of and were super helpful in answering questions and walking us through the process," Kowalski said. "I remember I was on a call with Steve once and he told me to keep asking questions, and that they want us to be able to understand this stuff, not just so we can do the work, but so we can understand what we're doing and why it's important."

ANNCast - Fall 2016 Anime Roundup

It's Over 9000!

I just want all the podcast listeners to see what the livestream chat participants were shown in the video player for the entire duration of the show:
(also some YurI! On Ice!! gif I didn't recognize, so maybe someone else can post that one)
So, yeah, there's something to look forward to when ANNCast becomes a live show on YouTube or whatever.
zrnzle500
Damned if I don't laugh at Keijo!!!!!!!!'s shtick everytime. Especially Asstronomy. I'm enjoying it way too much to say it is so-bad-it's-good. So absurd it's good maybe.
Kinda surprised that Girlish Number is Zac's favorite so far. I mean it's a great show, but I wouldn't say it is the best one this season. Not to say that it isn't reasonable to do so. Oregairu's second season was one of my AOTY for last year, so maybe Girlish Number will be there too. Wednesdays are packed af this season
Edit: I remember when Funi would just not tell us when they would stream a show they licensed and release it whenever. Most egregious was when they didn't stream Barakamon until four weeks into the season.

Geez, get a room, you two! There are people who are still SINGLE listening to this podcast! THINK ABOUT OUR FEELINGS!
Seriously though, I'm really happy for you guys! CONGRATULATIONS
Now, on to the rest of the podcast!
brankoburcksen
Congrats on your hitch.
I am really looking forward to seeing you guys on Youtube. It has been a long time coming.
"Keijo puts you right in the middle of the action"

Somebody at Funimation better be writing these down; they'll want to slap them somewhere on the packaging of their Bluray release.
Also, nice observation about Flip Flappers vs Rolling Girls. I can't remember the last time I was so let down by a show's failure to meet its own potential, and a lot of that could be attributed to the director's near-constant inability to let the visual elements speak for themselves.
Zin5ki
Thank you for another hour of amusement! It will be interesting to see how a video format will be able to accommodate guests, though numerous options exist to such an end.
After my chosen series floundered in the polls, I have decided to keep afloat with Flip Flappers. Whilst the fairytale references may have eluded me, its contextual freedom and correspondingly striking colour designs are sufficiently promising to safeguard against any magical girl genre trappings, or at the very least, to offset them. Whatsoever the show may wish to convey through its lively adventures, it will not be in want of any flair in its means of expressing as much. I do look forward to the daily streaming reviews.
On a personal note, I wish to say once again how happy I am about your wedding. Last weekend's photographs evoked a few tears that I take no hesitation in admitting, along with plentiful smiles and laughter.
In no uncertain terms, you two are the very best. Congratulations!

I agree that this is shaping up like a pretty good anime season. My top three shows are:
Sound! Euphonium 2 is up to a nice start, and I want to learn more about the characters. March Comes in Like a Lion blew me away, and it reminds me of Your Lie in April. I am enjoying the visuals and energy in Yuri!!! on Ice, but I hope the wring gets better. And thanks for clarifying Crunchyroll's inaccurate translation.
DmonHiro
Sorry, Zac, but I'm going to have to side against you on this. Keijo is most definitely a sports anime. It doesn't really count that it's not a real sport because the anime ticks off all the sports anime tropes. If it looks like a sports show, feels like a sports show and walks like a sports show, it must be a sports show.

Even if is a sport that don't exist in reality, is still a sport and Keijo!!!!!!!! have all the troupes find in any sport anime.

Congrats to Zac and Jacob.
Also, didn't we see something similar in Sakamoto desu ga? when Sakamoto was facing 8823 and a cop passed by?
Parsifal24
I will say it's been a very diverse season as far shows I thought the point about Occultic;Nine being like Serial Experiments Lain or Texhnolyze from a design and art standpoint was interesting but yes that first is really hard to follow and Ryoka Narusawa's character design is distracting.
Flip Flappers looks to be something that will be deeply loved but may not sell well. I like Keijo and I do think it is a sports Anime, I also enjoyed Drifters episode two was much better Shimazu Toyohisa feels more relatable and less like a self-insert power fantasy than Alucard did in Hellsing. Sorry to hear Zac didn't like Classicaloid I enjoyed but that's mostly because I'm a fan of the director
CatSword
That little "It's great...I love you." "I love you too." at the beginning made me go "D'aww." out loud. Congratulations!

Drifters looks to be the only show this season that I can bear watching, and it's not clear yet if it's going to be any good or not, but at least it seems campy. I tried watching the first episode of Classicaloid, and found the storytelling to be grating, particularly Mozart's character (whenever teenagers/young adults are portrayed as "cute" or "childish", I want to gag). Otherwise spoken it's a pretty dead season for me, and hopefully things look better come the Winter.

From some research that I've done... yeah, that's the ticket... Keijo!!!!!!!! evidently has a character whose special attack involves using her breasts as drills somehow.
So look forward to that.
I like Sayo Yamamoto muchly, so I'm keenly interested in Yuri!!! on Ice
There are too many damned exclamation points this season.
I would like a women's ice hockey show. It could re-use Yuri!!! on Ice's title.


For as long as I have been painting and illustrating, I have been designing: product design, trade show exhibits, corporate environments (and sculpture). The three dimensional design world has very different requirements since it most often is 'reality' based. Clients and environmental issues usually influence the outcome. Sometimes spontaneity is lost. Moreover, creating within defined boundaries can be a real challenge for the artistic mentality since the process of defining objectives can limit unfettered creativity. However, it is enormously satisfying when the eventual solution reflects true inspiration and, as such, gains important creative traction.
The following pages include some of my designwork which might seem to contradict the character of my free painting styles. But I have always been something of a vagabond creative spirit... often defying convention and, in so doing, frustrate and amuse my audience. I am driven by a restless creativity. Even though often grounded by reality, I remain free to soar and witness the fantastic... a perspective that often defies conventional gravity!
