What is #TryingStuff to you?
When I got a mysterious box in the mail with an #OmniTen label on it back in the spring of 2012, I had no idea what to expect. Heck, I didn't even know what "#OmniTen meant. All I knew was I'd been chosen to be a part of a team of ten passionate outdoors folk who are influential about adventure in the social media realm, and that I'd have the inside scoop on some of Columbia's newest gear.
I didn't know being part of the #OmniTen would send me into the mountains around Sedona, deep into the Grand Canyon, along trails to stunning waterfalls, or to Utah to take Columbia's phrase "#TryingStuff" to a whole new level in the #OmniGames. I didn't know I'd meet a group of the most adventurous, inspiring people who had the potential to become lifelong friends.
To me, a big part of #TryingStuff means opening yourself up to the possibility of finding adventure, inspiration, friendship, and meaning in new and unexpected places.
To me, #TryingStuff is taking your experience to a whole new level. Breaking out of the cookie cutter mold your life has so long since been apart of, and getting outside, getting anywhere and experiencing life. See new places, explore something you never would've thought you would do before. Step outside the box, even if for just a minute, you will never regret #TryingStuff, even if it doen't always have the results you were hoping for, just begin Trying more. Life is an adventure, experience it.
#TryingStuff means taking risks. It's walking a tightrope 55 feet off the ground when you're terrified. It's flying thousands of miles from home and not sleeping for 36 hours to spend four days with a big group of people you've never met. It's sharing incredibly personal struggles and stories with the world. It's being inspired to travel the world. It's moving to a new state to chase your dreams. It's being willing to grow, even when you're not sure what that growth looks like. #TryingStuff is a lifestyle, and that lifestyle is a big part of what made the #OmniTen and the #OmniGames such a success.
"Innovation" is defined as "the act or process of introducing new ideas, devices, or methods," and Columbia's been innovating for nearly a century. Originally dubbed the Columbia Hat Company, The Columbia Sportswear we know today is what it is as a result of a #TryingStuff mentality. From being the first to introduce the Gore-Tex™ parka in 1975 to creating a technology that makes it possible for clothing to cool you off, Columbia continues to push the envelope with respect to innovation in gear and apparel. Not all of the gear is perfect, but some of what I've seen over the past two years has absolutely blown me away.
The best part of #TryingStuff is the connections you make doing it. Since I've really put myself out in the open #TryingStuff, I've met a whole range of new life long friends. Someone who designs tents and packs, a single mom who climbs off-widths… with her kids. A girl who lives in her car traveling North America and writing about it. Someone who moved all the way across the country to a remote town in Wyoming. And now a Canadian with a love for life beyond anyone I've met. I've seen new and interesting places, and experienced life… Even if it's just been in small doses thus far.
Through out my experiences of #TryingStuff, the one constant is my love for #IntroducingStuff to new people. I love sharing my experiences with others, and bringing them along for the ride. I wouldn't trade this for anything. Through #TryingStuff I found my people, I found my place in this world and I live to experience. I Experience via my Imagination, and I'm Adventure Inspired… I have dreams, I love my new Omni-family… I am #Omniten!
I'd like to say that it was silently snowing outside that morning, like it had been the previous day. But the truth was, the wind was violent. So violent, that we thought the whole might be canceled and the resort would be closed. As Daniel and Tori worked vigorously to figure out what challenges we could still do, we all waited impatiently in anticipation on how the rope course would be, if we got to do it at all. I for one was really excited. It was my time to shine. This was the closest thing to rock climbing, and I wanted to show off my mad skillz. My teammate on the other hand was kind of dreading the whole thing. Katie has a deathly crazy fear of heights. And she was terrified that she was going to have to do the 60′ jump.
Secretly, little Katie Boue and I had been trying to feed Daniel and Tori with the idea that there was an indoor rock climbing gym near by. We could all go there, they don't close do to weather. But it was all for not. Daniel got our attention and explained to us that the jump was off. It was too windy to make the jump, the Leap of Faith challenge had been canceled and we would finish out the #Omnigames with the remaining events. I turned to Katie and saw the awesome glow in her eyes that her worst fear was gone. And almost immediately she started to focus on the 50′ ropes course.
We road in the shuttle bus side by side as teammates do, and she told me that she was now really nervous for the ropes courses. As I tried to convince her that she would be ok, I realized I needed to put my own selfish reasons for wanting her to do it aside. She was truly scared. So I looked at her and told her, you don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with. If your scared, just stay on the ground and we will see what happens. As much as I wanted to get our best chance to go to Jordan, I absolutely didn't want to see her terrified up there, or freeze up, or cry. And I could tell, she didn't want to let me down. Although, I don't think she knew it wouldn't be letting me down, I understand the fear of heights more than most. Just because I climb, I had a deathly fear of heights growing up, and it still lingers. In high school I froze on a climbing route and took a 20′ fall landing my side on a huge boulder. I still have a scar. But I also know there is only one way to face those fears.
That's me taking center stage on the high wires.
Now Katie is one tough girl, she's a cross-fit champion, super muscular, strong and athletic. But underneath that physique, I can tell she is all lady. She has no problem telling you when she feels uncomfortable. Not like us guys, how if we are scared or nervous we try to act cool. Play it off with jokes and such. She's honest with her feelings. It was inside that one task in particular, I felt like I was absolutely needed. As we approached the high ropes, I agreed to stay behind her and go last so I could help talk her through it. Each obstacle (there were like 25) I did my best to calm her down, tell her to focus on her foot work, keep the weight on her feet and breath… Most importantly, breath. And her very dear friend Heather stayed just in front of hr and talked her through it as well. One fall, and the team was out 100 points, so this was a huge event for us.
When she finally made it across the last obstacle, she hugged the final log post with a death grip. So happy that she had made it alive, and more happy that she did it without even a flinch of a fall. She ABSOLUTELY crushed that course. Childs play! I felt proud of our team effort in making it across the high ropes course. I knew this girl totally had the strength and ability to do the course, she just needed a little guidance to feel the flow. Sometimes it helps to have someone else show belief in you. It becomes all you need to achieve. And as proud as I was of myself, I felt more pride in how she faced her fears and absolutely destroyed them. Crushing both the high and the low courses with ease. Giving our team some much-needed points to stay in the hunt. The Lookout Below event of the ropes course was really hard, less than half the people who got on the ropes made it through without falling. It played as a key challenge to help many team close the gap. I believe most everybody made it through the Bridge the Gap course.
Katie didn't know this, but the entire time she maneuvered the course, Scott Trepanier was behind me, he wanted to give the course his best go as well. He kept telling me how strong she was, how she could easily crush this thing over all the guys in the group, if she just got out of her head and trusted it. It was in those moments, that I saw what a truly great and family oriented company Columbia was. His encouragement, his motivation, I'll never forget the way he wanted to see her succeed. Not only was he the man who helped put this entire #Omniten program together, but he is actually a friend to everyone involved.
After lunch, the entire group bound up for the final event. I knew we were still not sitting in one of the top 5 spots, and we needed another epic performance by both of us on the Downhill Derby. We were in a race to gain the most vertical elevation in an hour and a half. Basically find a line and a lift that will get you up the mountain and down quickly to burn another run. I felt we had a good chance at gaining more ground. As most the experienced skiers/boarders had beginner partners, Katie and I were both at the intermediate level. And I figured we could both stay within 1-2 runs of most the fastest powder hounds. This is my kind of boarding. I like to get on the toe edge, and ride it to the bottom. I love speed. What I don't love, is catching the toe edge while flying 40-50mph downhill. Which I actually did. About 200 yards from the lift on my 4th run, I caught the toe edge and went face down. Had my own theme music going and everything. I took a split second to make sure nothing was broken, jumped back up and continued to the lift. It wasn't until I climbed onto the lift that I realized my snow pants were at my knees. I had completely BLEW UP the snap and the zipper came down. I felt like such a clown.
We finished the downhill with somewhere between 8-9 runs each. On my last run, I decided to take it easy and carve a bit. No hurry now, the lifts were closed, the elevation was tracked, all we had to do was wait for the scores to be tallied. We grew as a team in just 2 days, we became closer friends, and I had an enormous amount of respect for all my competitors. We left the winter on the ground that day. No matter what the results, we were part of the inaugural #Omnigames.
And though when all is said and done, Katie and I might still be on the outside looking in. We might be sitting at #8 like we were before the Charles Dickens event started. But that would be ok. Don't get me wrong, I want to go to Jordan extremely bad. But I can say this, we gave it our best shot, we left everything out on those courses and we gained a friend for life. I am so proud I was able to compete alongside such an awesome competitor. I really couldn't have asked for a better teammate, and the truth is, without her we wouldn't even had been in contention… Thank you Katie for being such an awesome teammate and friend. And thank you Jon and Heather for helping talk Katie through the ropes. You guys are the truth of what friendship is.
I didn't take a lot of photos, and I somewhat regret that now. I tried to live in the moment, and now I live with nothing but the memories. Memories of people I just met, people who have left a thumbprint on my heart, people I'll never forget. It's amazing how Columbia Sportswear can bring together 10 strangers, or 30 strangers for that matter, and we make lifelong bonds. This week was truly epic, a time that will live in my mind as one of the best weeks of my life. I feel truly blessed to be a part of it, and to have met so many wonderful faces.
After we found out what the challenges would be that we faced, a mix of excitement and nervousness began to build. I felt confident in all the physical challenges, just kind of nervous on the skills. And the entire first day was full of skills tasks. Being a bit hung over didn't help matters. The #Insomnigames went into overdrive the evening before.
Our group drew the task of snow mobile drive-by first thing. As we began to suit up with helmets and goggles, I asked my teammate Katie if she had ever driven a snow mobile before? The answer was an immediate no, and I replied that I too had never been on one before either. I asked if she was ok with me driving, she was fine with it (probably because she didn't want to hurt my masculine ego). On the way out to the archery range, I told Katie she was welcome to drive the snow cat back, she was excited. Our group went through the archery event quite quickly, I failed miserably firing EVERY shot high. If not for my teammate Katie hitting the target a few times, we would've walked away with Zero points. So I would say she had earned the right to drive the snow cat back. And she rallied that thing, telling me it was ok to hold on as tight as I needed to.
When we arrived back at the ranch, we found out it was our turn on the Hot chocolate run. We had to build a fire and a hut with only the supplies afforded us. We chose to build the fire first. If you've ever tried to build a fire in snow storm, you know it's quite hard. But trying to build a fire with a magnesium block fire starter in the snow is almost impossible. I say almost, because 4 teams apparently accomplished this feat. We unfortunately were not one of them… The only thing I actually did accomplish was shaving part of my finger off, and swallowing an ounce of blood.
As we snowshoe off to the next challenge, I had my head down. I was seriously disappointed with the way I personally had performed in the games thus far. I felt we needed a major rally during the Our house event. The hut building challenge was a timed event, so I knew we were against a wall. I wanted to get both our perspectives, but with a sense of urgency. Katie once again had some really good ideas with packing a snow wall to block the wind, and fill the holes. I thought a log crossed the top for secure structure, anchored to a couple of trees. We burrito wrapped the tarp over the log truss, and we used the strings to tie down the tarp. At the door opening, we shoelace tied the tarp together. It was nice and cozy, and would've worked great in a jam.
I think we were pleased with our shelter building, but next we had the Needle in an Avalanche challenge. To find an object buried in the snow with an avalanche beacon. I had heard rumor that not many teams had done so good. So i saw this as a chance to gain ground. After a brief explanation of how the beacon worked, I felt we had a pretty good grasp on the situation. It only took us about a minute and a half to find the buried shoe, and the man in charge of the event said that our buried comrade would have lived. Although I thought we did a great job, there were quite a few teams who succeeded in less than a minute. So we were still somewhere in the bottom of the pack.
After the beacon event, we were eating a delicious lunch, and I randomly heard the door open. I turned and saw a somewhat shy girl who looked a bit lost. She was wearing a Columbia jacket, so I figured she was in the correct place. I began to turn around to finish eating, when it hit me like a snowball… THAT'S MICHELLE. S4's long-lost teammate. She had finally made it. After many flight cancellations, delays and missed flights, she was there. We were all so happy to see that she made it. There were hugs all around. This girl was a trooper. Nothing was going to stop her from getting to Park City.
Dog days of winter was the only event we had left that day. We were able to watch the musher hook up all the overly excited dogs. And we learned some of the history of dog sledding. Which was good, because this event was a memory based event. I believe we scored 100% on the quiz afterwards. And I have to say, we saved the best for last. Riding in the sled was easily the most unique and fun thing I did while in Park City. Though the day didn't quite go the way we had planned, I thought we finished it out nicely. Started slow, but Katie and I are strong finishers. And our strength events were still to come. We ended day one in 12th place of 15 teams, so we needed a perfect day 2.
That evening, we all went to Deer Valley for dinner and the World Cup Mogul's Competition. Now I'm not a skier, but I have to say, what an awesome resort, stylish and beautiful. I took this chance to get to know Michelle, riding the bus in the seat next to hers, and taking the lift up together. I had spoken to her briefly on twitter, but nothing would've prepared me for what an amazing person she is. Truly a friendship that I hope lasts forever. The most positive person I've ever met.
That evening, drinking was off the docket. I wanted to be fresh and not hung over like the previous day. I needed to bring my A game. The #Omnigames were meant to be fun, but you take a bunch of competitive people and put us all in the area, its more like the Hunger Games.
Lookout Below – This is a high ropes course 50′ off the ground. A test of balance, strength, agility and team work.
Bridge the Gap – A shorter ropes course 25′ off the ground with problem solving, team work and balance testing.
Leap of Faith – An almost 400′ zip line above the treeline, ending on top of a 65′ tower with one way down… JUMP.
Downhill Derby – An hour and a half on the ski slopes, logging as much vertical elevation as possible.
Charles Dickens – What you are currently reading. Our best attempt at writing, videoing, blogging our time at the #Omnigames.
Please continue reading the next blog to find out how Katie and I finished the #Omnigames to this point… Suspense builder, Katie has a terrible fear of heights.
Most all the #Omniten members from every season were able to make the travel to Park City, few had other engagements. and some had travel nightmares rain down upon them. Needless the say, 75% of the playaz were there. It began with everyone meeting at the No Name Bar on Main street. And Daniel telling everyone to move around and mingle, get to know your fellow #Omniten, not just the people from your season. There certainly was a reason for this. The evening was greeted with reunion hugs, hand shakes, and more hugs. Pictures after pictures, toasts and many smiles. It was so amazing to see all my old friends and making new ones, relationships that will last a lifetime. But after the bar, it was back to the hotel, back to bed for some. Early start the next day, hot tub time machine for others.
After we all joined together in the hub for breakfast, in much anticipation, we waited to until 9am to find out what we were going to be doing. Daniel Green and Scott Trepanier explain to everyone how the #Omniten program was born, and that this was for "Life", we would occasionally be invited along with Columbia Sportswear to be Trying stuff in different locations. And we would be getting free gear to test opportunely. And if that wasn't good enough, they gave each and every one of us a brand new Turbo Down Jacket to test. Not due in stores until September and they weigh less than 1 pound for the "Gold" level. using 550-fill down and Omni-heat technology on the inside. They will be nicely affordable at any budget, and are 8 to 22% warmer than current down jackets on the market.
As soon as our little Christmas in January gift opening, we all piled onto the shuttles and made our way to an unknown ranch, where we were greeted by snow mobiles and dog sleds. And a lot of snow coming down. Our excitement increased ten fold. We went inside and the games had begun. Standing there listening to Daniel Green explaining the #Omnigames rules, I came to a realization. Everything I had done up to this point in my life has led me here. Every positive thing over the past few years, all the wonderful people I've had the pleasure of meeting, the hard work I had put in, learning, listening, watching, Trying stuff… I had found my people.
It was unclear in my mind how I felt about competing against some of my best friends. You see, I'm a natural competitor. Inside every aspect of my life, I feel the need to compete. It is the fiber of my being. Although I longed to win the #Omnigames, I also felt a keen bond between the other competitors. And found myself rooting for them to do well. I mean, although I'm competitive by nature, I'm also a nurturer. I enjoy helping people. I was still under the impression it was going to be season vs season. And I have a love for many of the people on season 1. Boy was I wrong.
The partner selection worked liked this. They split us into 2 groups: Fall & Spring. Then they picked a fall #Omniten to come up and draw a spring #Omniten member out of a hat. Thus the teams were born. There are only 15 teams, because only 30 #Omniten members were capable of making it in time. It's unfortunate for a few that the weather didn't check with our schedules.
Unfortunately, the first day was filled with skills that neither one of us ha any experience with. And barely any knowledge or know how. Having said that, I believe we did ok.
– Snowmobiling to an archery range, where we would have 4 shots at a target. Archery style.
– Starting a fire with supplies given, boil water, and making hot chocolate within a certain amount of time.
– Creating a shelter out of limited supplies given.
– Avalanche scenario, using a Avy beacon to locate another beacon.
– Riding a dog sled and learning all about sledding, followed by a test of memory.
If you want to find out what how we did on the challenges, please feel free to follow my blog and read again. I will be posting 2 more blogs before the week ends. And something special.
You can also check out the hashtags #Omniten or #Omnigames, or read one of the many other blogs by the #Omniten members.
As I sit here reminiscing over the past year. I realize it's been mixed with highs and lows. In January, I met one of my climbing hero's Sasha Digiulian. This was very humbling to see such a tiny person that crushes.
February, I sent 2 V-5 problems in Moes Valley. In march I had Hernia surgery. A month later, in April I rolled my bosses truck on the Interstate.
In the beginning of May I hiked into Havasupai. One of the highlights of the year. And in June I descended Blue John canyon (the famous "Ralston route") and MTB for the first time in Moab.
July was a good time, almost sending a 5.12B. And taking a great vacation with my boys. We hiked the Subway (though the water was murky), and spent time in RMNP. It's the best time to get to know my boys on a personal level.
August I was supposed to hike the Narrows, but the canyon flashed. So we were detoured to hike Observation Point (not a bad back up plan). And we were dubbed the Zion Hooligans on that trip. I didn't get outside much through September, too much work and many Utes football games. But I did manage to make a sunset hike to Lake Blanche with an awesome crew.
In October, my luck changed for the good. I received a Omniten invite, a #Terramartribe invite and hike Buckskin Gulch with a rad crew.
I finished the last 2 months of the year quietly. Saving my PTO and working to get myself in a position to make 2014 an epic year. The only cool thing I did, was start volunteering to do charity work, and FINALLY getting my passport.
So here's to 2014, making new friends, achieving new goals and moving forward in life. Many of my goals for 2014 are already written down. Everything from building a woody in my garage, to staying in premium shape, to finally adventuring outside the US. I want to pay off most my bills and get debt free (minus house). Still need to hike the Narrows from top down, and want to send V7 outside. I need to re-roof my house, and I have already put money down to get a new tattoo. There are plenty of new places I long to visit in 2014, and many chores around the house I need to finish. Currently my list is about 30 different tasks, just over 2 a month. I believe I can achieve all of these… If the $$ is there.
Do you have any advice in how you achieve goals? Do you have any goals you have set for 2014 that you want to share?

Cyberpunk 2077 Will Tell A Movie-Like Story For Adult Audiences
By Francesco De Meo
Aug 8, 2019 08:41 EDT
Cyberpunk 2077 will tell a mature story that will touch subjects that are usually avoided in video games, the game's lead quest designer revealed.
In a recent interview with Polish Radio, translated on Reddit, Pawel Sasko talked about the Cyberpunk 2077 story and V's main quest. The main goal of the development team is to tell a movie-like story for an adult audience. The game is full of themes that are usually avoided in video games.
CD PROJEKT RED Head of Studio Responds to Cyberpunk 2077 Insider Report
Their goal is to tell a movie-like story for an adult audience, touching subjects that we face in our times. He specifies that their games are not toys and are not for children, he says in today's culture we try to avoid difficult subjects, but they will not shy away from these, in fact, he says, the game is loaded with them - they want people to think for themselves and it will be up to us to decide what our morality is. He then continues - the game will allow you to look at things from different perspectives so knowing them it will rarely be a black and white situation we find ourselves in, the goal is to keep the player on the edge of his seat by telling a breathtaking story.
V's main goal is strictly tied to Johnny Silverhand, played by Keanu Reeves, and the relationship with him will shape the game's ending.
V's main goal is to break free from NC's shackles and find himself a better life, and finding the immortality chip is closely connected to this goal, which makes Johnny the key to the main plot and your relationship with him that you will build over time will shape the game's ending

GST Voucher rebates for 950,000 HDB households in January
Staff Writer, Singapore
·Editorial Team
HDB flats in Singapore. (PHOTO: Reuters)
SINGAPORE — About 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive their quarterly Goods and Services Tax (GST) Voucher–U Save utility-bill rebates this month.
This would be the final regular rebate which these eligible households will receive in Financial Year 2021 (FY2021), after earlier rebates in April, July and October last year.
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) said in a media release on Saturday (1 January) that these households would have also received a Special Payment, amounting to an additional 50 per cent of their regular rebates during FY2021. This Special Payment was credited to the household in April and July last year.
In all, the average household living in one- and two-room HDB flats would have received rebates equivalent to about 4.5 to six months of their utility bills this financial year. Those living in three- and four-room HDB flats would have received rebates equivalent to about 1.5 to three months of their utility bills.
INFOGRAPHIC: Ministry of Finance
Households whose members own more than one property are not eligible for the GST Voucher–U Save rebate. The upcoming January rebate will also not include the additional $5 handed out from January 2019 to December 2021 to mitigate the introduction of carbon tax.
MOF said the rebates amount to $460 million in total U-Save rebates in FY2021. The U-Save Special Payment is part of the $900 million Household Support Package announced at Budget 2021, to provide additional support to families during this period of uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

France-based motorcycle design studio Barbara Custom Motorcycles may be relatively new on the scene, but its concepts are proving that it could be here for years to come. With its new futuristic, sci-fi-inspired series of bike concepts, featuring no less than 35 designs, Barbara has given the two-wheeled racers of BMW, Triumph, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki a reboot. Along with designs that fall on pretty much every range of the spectrum, from clean, pure, minimalist lines to streamlined full body fairings to a jumble of junk that shouldn't create a bike but somehow work — think post-apocalyptic Mad Max style —each concept features an equally clever name, such as 'Elvis Has Left the Building', 'Hair of the Dog', and 'The Right Stuff'.

Bernardin de Saint-François, born in 1529 at the Château de Ronceray in Marigné and died on July 14, 1582 at the priory of Bersay in Saint-Mars-d'Outillé, was a French bishop of the 16th century. This prelate, a great scholar, wrote as well in Greek as in Latin and in French. We have several small poems by him which have remained in manuscript.

Biography
Bernardin de Saint-François was born at the Château de Ronceray, in Marigné, in 1529.

He became dean of the cathedral of Le Mans, prior of Bersay, and of the order of Grandmont and commendatory abbot of the abbey of Fontaine-Daniel. He is provided with the office of adviser to the parliament of Paris and master of requests. Pope Gregory XIII did not want to grant bulls of translation to Renaud de Beaune, bishop of Mende, whom Charles IX had appointed to the bishopric of Bayeux, this prince gives this episcopal seat to Bernardin de Saint-François.

He resigned his position as abbot of Fontaine-Daniel, around 1570, choosing himself as successor Jean de Morderet, squire, on the indication, it seems, of Louis Garnier, monk of Saint-Maur, his friend and his attorney.

By a decree of the parliament of Rouen in 1576, he was granted the right of deportation, by virtue of which he was allowed to collect the fruits of the first year in the church of Saint-Ouen de Périers, and, the same year he instituted as the penitentiary of his church Marc Guérin de la Bigne, doctor at the Sorbonne. In 1580 Bernardin buys to establish a college there, a house in the rue aux Coqs.

The Lobero Theatre has been a grand presence in the city of Santa Barbara since 1873 and many have enjoyed unforgettable performances by the many professional actors who have graced its stage. AsCalifornia's oldest continuously operating theatre, the Lobero has naturally undergone renovations over the years, but it's never been closed and the entertainment has never stopped.
In the 1920s, the theatre enjoyed many golden years of production in which "preview performances" were shown for Hollywood. Many stage greats, including Tallulah Bankhead, Bela Lugosi, Lionel Barrymore, and more performed during this time. Promising musicians who would grow in popularity also performed on the Lobero stage. Musicians during this time period included Vladimir Horowitz and Sergei Rachmaninoff, among others.
During the 1940s, the Lobero continued offering first class performances and hosted stars such as Clark Gable, Ingrid Bergman, Igor Stravinsky, Leopold Stokowski, Betty Grable, Tyrone Power, Dame Judith Anderson and more. The Lobero's well known jazz history started in 1949 with performances from Nappy La Marre and the Dixie Land Bobcats, and continued from there as the theatre hosted some of the best known names in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, Ray Brown, Roy Haynes and Dave Brubeck.
There have been so many other stars that have performed on the Lobero's Santa Barbara stage over the years, including, but not limited to, Bobby McFerrin, Marilyn Horne, Lynn Redgrave, Jerome Lowenthal, John Cleese, Kathy Bates, James Whitmore, John Raitt, Tracy Chapman, Jeff, Beau and Lloyd Bridges, McCoy Tyner, Charles Lloyd, Carol Burnett, Debbie Reynolds, Patrick Steward and many more.
The stage is also the home to many local performing arts groups from all across Santa Barbara's theaters, such as the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra, Sings Like Hell, CAMA's Masterseries, Santa Barbara Youth Symphony, and Music Academy West to name some.
Ongoing preservation efforts are always in the works to keep the historic theaters in Santa Barbararunning smoothly for generations to come. Since it is a well-used, well-loved venue, there are regularly held fundraising efforts in the community to preserve this landmark. If you are interested in attending a performance at the Lobero Theatre, there are always plenty of shows and concerts coming up.

Second alleged shooter in Chaparro Street homicide named, held in jail
Editor's note: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that alleged shooter is 18 years old. This is untrue. Mawu Ekon Revels is 17 years old. He's being charged as an adult.
LAS CRUCES - The second person accused of shooting and killing a man at a Chaparro Street house party was publicly identified and held in jail during a hearing on Thursday.
Police say Mawu Ekon Revels, 17, fired eight of the ten shots at a party on July 31 that left 23-year-old Nicodemus "Nico" Gonzales dead. He's charged with an open count of murder and two counts of aggravated assault and will be tried as an adult.
Revels is the second person charged in the shooting. Until the public hearing on Thursday, Revels' identity was unknown to much of the community. Isiah Taylor, 19, was also arrested and charged with murder in connection to the Chaparro Street shooting.
On Thursday, Revels was brought before the Third Judicial District Court after prosecutors requested the court hold Revels in jails as he awaited trial. During the hearing, an LCPD detective, Kenneth Davis, who investigated the case testified that Revels most likely fired eight of the ten shots that rocked Chaparro Street on July 31.
Davis said that police connected Revels to the shooting because of witness statements, an empty box of 9mm ammunition found in Revels' possession and packaging for a laser pointer that witnesses said was attached to the shooter's gun.
Several 9mm shell casings were found in Revels' possession, the detective said.
After Davis' testimony, Assistant District Attorney Nicholas Gilbert gave the court additional facts about the shooting. He said that it appeared two groups of men at the party got into a fight, although the cause of the fight is unclear. He said that Gonzales appeared to be a bystander to the fight when he was shot.
Judge Richard Jacquez ultimately accepted the motion of pretrial detention. He said that the evidence presented suggested Revels was a danger to the community.
While Revels' defense attorney argued that Revels could be allowed to stay with his parents, Jacquez instead elected to keep Revels in jail.

Korean Skyscrapers – Hanskin Building!
One of the things I enjoyed while growing up in Seoul, Korea as a kid wasn't the number of trees or parks (which are fewer than most) but the high number of mulit-level buildings and skyscrapers. Over the last 20 years, Seoul probably has developed thousands more new skyscrapers and I do highly enjoy them. When I first immigrated to California some 20+ years ago, I was highly disappointed by the lack of skyscrapers in San Francisco bay area. I was used to seeing buildings everywhere like in Seoul. I wished my parents had moved to New York, I would have enjoyed it more. Anyways, here's a building of headquarters of Hanskin, who makes women's cosmetics, you can see this building between Shinsa Station and Kangnam Station.

Had it not been for WW2, it's conceivable that we might these days be crossing the continents in Curtiss designed and built airliners, but instead the company's main effort to take on the "big three" US manufacturers who were already starting to corner the commercial market (Boeing, Douglas and Lockheed) was destined never to succeed in its intended role. Instead, the advanced Curtiss CW-20 high altitude airliner was stripped of many of its features such as the pressurised cabin to become one of the supreme transport aircraft of the era - and among the longest serving in history - the C-46 Commando.
While the Commando never matched the fame achieved by the rival Douglas DC-3/C-47, it could carry almost twice the payload double the range, and saw extensive service in WW2 - most notably in the CBI Theatre, ferrying supplies and personnel over the Himalayas - the notorious "Hump". In Europe it fared less well, suffering dreadful losses dropping paratroops during the crossing of the Rhine. Flying low and slow (a role for which it was never originally intended), and lacking self-sealing fuel tanks, the Commando was the perfect target for the highly efficient German flak gunners.
After the war the C-46 served on through the Korean war, and remained in limited US service until the late 1960s. The aircraft was also widely used by air forces and civilian operators around the world, with a few still operating to this day.
The rebuilt Japanese air force, the JASDF, used the C-46D Commando from 1955 until the mid 1960s as its main transport aircraft, this version being the primary subject of Platz's latest 1:144 kit.
The moulding is excellent, with no signs of flash or sink marks, and very crisp surface detailing. The neatly engraved panel lines are arguably a bit heavy for this scale, but they should look good under a coat of paint. The fuselage is moulded with solid windows except for the cockpit glazing.
A test fit is very encouraging, with the fuselage clipping together neatly, and the wings and tail featuring very substantial locating tabs to keep every true. The fit at the roots is very good, and the trailing edges are nice and thin.
Construction begins with a neatly moulded one-piece flight deck, onto which attach a pair of control wheels. The effect is simple but effective - quite adequate for most modellers, as not a great deal will be visible once the fuselage is closed up and the cockpit glazing in place.
The engines are nicely detailed for this scale and the propellers look very good. The three-part cowls go together fine, ready for the separate exhausts.
The main gear legs feature separate retraction arms and attach firmly, while the inside of the doors is well detailed. The main wheels have separate hubs, and are moulded un-weighted so I'll be tempted to file a little "flat" on the bottom to give a sense of the bulk of the aircraft. The tailwheel is moulded integrally with its strut, and has a rather large projecting hub which I haven't found in any reference photos, so I'll reduce it.
Last but not least, the exterior of the aircraft is dotted with a number of aerials and pitot tubes, along with an astrodome.
The assembly guide is neatly drawn, breaking the construction down into seven simple stages. The text is mostly bi-lingual Japanese/English, and colour matches are given for Mr Color and ModelMaster paints, along with FS numbers. The painting and decal guide is a little cluttered, but does cram a lot in, featuring three JASDF schemes, plus a USAF machine from the Korean war era.
The decals are printed by Cartograf, so the quality almost goes without saying. The items are thin and glossy, and printed perfectly in register with minimal carrier film.
For anyone not content with the standard kit, Platz sell separately a very neat little etched detail set commissioned from Eduard. Spread across two frets, one partly pre-painted, the set contains 77 new parts for both the interior and exterior of the kit.
The cockpit is treated to a beautiful new instrument panel, control wheels, rear bulkhead (with separate door), seat harnesses, a trim wheel and even throttle levers. Quite how much will be visible in this scale once the windscreen is in place remains to be seen, but at least you'll know it's all in there.
Definitely more visible are liners for the wheel wells, and a test fit shows they make quite a remarkable difference - especially in the mainwheel wells. The main gear is also supplied with new wheel hubs, oleo scissors and brake lines. For the exterior of the airframe, Eduard have designed a plethora of panels, vents, pitots and aerials.
So, while the cockpit parts may be superfluous if you're building the kit with filled-in windsceen, the overall effect should be very good, and the set is a worthwhile complement to the kit.
Platz's C-46 Commando is a very attractive kit of an important aircraft that is often unfairly overlooked. The pst war colour schemes offered in this first release are clearly targeted at the Japanese domestic market, but they are certainly striking, and I doubt that it will be long before a WW2 variant is offered. Recommended.
Highs: Very well moulded and nicely detailed. Excellent decals.
Lows: The tailwheel doesn't match any photos I've yet found, but it's a simple fix if necessary.
Verdict: This is a very good of a classic aircraft. With it's long service over the years around the world, the scope for interesting colour schemes is enourmous.
What a good looking Commando! That p/e bulkhead -- ingenious!
Recently got this kit in the mail, and I can see it's as good as this fine review suggests. The only issue is that only 4-blade props were supplied, meaning I'll have to pilfer another kit for 3-bladed props. Unless I can find any AM.
Everything Platz makes is beautiful and very well engineered. re AM props, Welsh models have a variety of white metal props for sale in 1/144, probobly something there that would be a good fit, the DC-4 ones maybe.

Song of the Day: Neil Young – "Cortez the Killer"
Share the love, rockers...
Happy belated birthday to Neil Young, who turned 72 years old on November 12. This is a Young classic off the 1975 album Zuma, a song praised for its guitar work as well as its lyrical content. The song is about Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and the conquest of the Aztec Empire, at least Young's view of it, then the final verse of the song changes to first person (And I know she's living there/And she loves me to this day/I still can't remember when/Or how I lost my way) with a meaning that's up for interpretation. Actually, the real final verse is missing from the song; per Songfacts, Young's father said in the book Neil and Me that the verse was lost after an electrical circuit was blown during the recording process but that Neil didn't like that verse anyway.

Bayani, Mehdi
(b. Hamadan, 1906; d. Tehran, 1968).
Iranian librarian and scholar of Persian manuscripts. Bayani spent his early career as a teacher of Persian language and literature and as head of the public library of the Ministry of Education. He then directed the transferral of this library to the new National Library, which he founded and directed. He received his doctorate from Tehran University in 1945 and became head of the Royal Library in 1956, a post he held until his death. He also taught courses on the evolution of Persian scripts and codicology and founded a society for the support of calligraphers and the calligraphic arts. His biographical dictionary of Iranian calligraphers, Aḥwāl u āthār-i khushnivisān [Accounts and works of calligraphers] remains an invaluable research tool.

Crane, Walter
Christopher Newall
(b Liverpool, Aug 15, 1845; d Horsham, W. Sussex, March 14, 1915).
English painter, illustrator, designer, writer and teacher. He showed artistic inclinations as a boy and was encouraged to draw by his father, the portrait painter and miniaturist Thomas Crane (1808–59). A series of illustrations to Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott (Cambridge, MA, Harvard U., Houghton Lib.) was shown first to Ruskin, who praised the use of colour, and then to the engraver William James Linton, to whom Crane was apprenticed in 1859. From 1859 to 1862 Crane learnt a technique of exact and economical draughtsmanship on woodblocks. His early illustrative works included vignette wood-engravings for John R. Capel Wise's The New Forest: Its History and its Scenery (1862).
During the mid-1860s Crane evolved his own style of children's book illustration. These so-called 'toy books', printed in colour by Edmund Evans, included The History of Jenny Wren and The Fairy Ship. Crane introduced new levels of artistic sophistication to the art of illustration: after ...
Opicinus de Canistris
(b Lomello, Dec 24, 1296; d Avignon, c. 1354).
Italian parish priest, manuscript illuminator and scholar. His drawings explored the connections between vision, reason and spirituality. In particular, he was drawn to the idea of training the 'inner eye' of reason, and he hoped that his images would provide tools for spiritual discernment. He worked as a schoolmaster and priest until 1329, when he fled Pavia for political reasons and entered the papal court in Avignon. One year later, he was employed as a scribe in the office of the papal penitentiary.
He produced two illuminated works, both of which are untitled (Rome, Vatican, Bib. Apostolica, Pal. lat. 1993 and Vat. lat. 6435). The former, known simply as the Palatinus manuscript, encompasses 52 large individual parchment sheets drawn in pen and ink with images on both sides; they feature schematic compositions that combine portolan charts, zodiacs, calendars and human figures, to form complex composite images. The second work, the Vaticanus manuscript, is done in pen and ink on paper and is more of an author's daybook, collecting thoughts, meditations and images on a variety of topics. His work was not known until the publication of the Palatinus manuscript by R. G. Salomon in ...
De Zayas, Marius
(b Veracruz, Mar 13, 1880; d Stamford, CT, Jan 10, 1961).
Mexican illustrator, writer, gallery owner, and publisher, active in the USA. He was the son of a wealthy Mexican lawyer and publisher. De Zayas started his career as an artist by providing drawings for his father's newspaper in Veracruz. In 1906 he moved on to Mexico City's leading newspaper, El Diario, but a year later, after the ascension of the dictator Porfirio Diaz, whom the newspaper had opposed, he fled to the USA. There he landed a position making caricatures for the New York Evening World. Shortly after his arrival in the USA, he came into contact with Alfred Stieglitz, who staged solo shows of De Zayas's caricatures at his gallery Gallery 291 in 1909 and 1910, both of which proved to be huge popular successes.
In 1910 De Zayas traveled to Paris, where he stayed almost a year, scouting out adventurous forms of modern art for Stieglitz, notably the cubist work of Picasso and African sculpture. On his return, equipped with knowledge of European modern art and inspired by the work of the French modernist ...
Derman, Mustafa Uğur
(b. Bandırma, 1935).
Turkish calligrapher, marbler, and connoisseur. He attended high school at Haydarpaşa Lisesi and then graduated from the School of Pharmacology in the Faculty of Medicine at Istanbul University. He worked as a pharmacist until 1977, when he became the director of the Türkpetrol Foundation, a position he held until 2007. Derman studied calligraphy and the arts of the book with many of the leading experts in Istanbul, including Mahir Iz, Süheyl Ünver, Macid Ayral, Halim Özyazıcı and Necmeddin Okyay, often said to have been the last representative of the Ottoman tradition of book arts. Derman received his license to practice in 1380/1960 following the traditional Ottoman system by replicating a copy (taqlīd) of a quatrain in nasta'līq (Turk. ta'līq) by the Safavid expert Mir 'Imad. In the fall of 1985 he joined the faculty of Marmara University and Mimar Sinan University (formerly the State Academy of Fine Arts), where formal instruction in calligraphy was reinstituted in ...
Gill, (Arthur) Eric
Stephen Stuart-Smith
(Rowton)
(b Brighton, Feb 22, 1882; d Harefield, Middx [now in London], Nov 17, 1940).
English sculptor, letter-cutter, typographic designer, calligrapher, engraver, writer and teacher. He received a traditional training at Chichester Technical and Art School (1897–1900), where he first developed an interest in lettering. He also became fascinated by the Anglo-Saxon and Norman stone-carvings in Chichester Cathedral. In 1900 Gill moved to London to become a pupil of William Douglas Caröe (1857–1938), architect to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. He took classes in practical masonry at Westminster Institute and in writing and illuminating at the Central School of Art and Design, where he was deeply influenced by the calligrapher Edward Johnston. Johnston's meticulous training was to be a perfect preparation for Gill's first commissions for three-dimensional inscriptions in stone, the foundation stone for Caröe's St Barnabas and St James the Greater in Walthamstow, London, and the lettering for the lychgate at Charles Harrison Townsend's St Mary's, Great Warley, Essex. Further commissions followed after Gill left Caröe in ...

American book designer, typographer poet and teacher . His father was from Lebanon and his mother was an American-born paediatrician and bibliophile. He studied art at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI (1964) and at the nearby Cranbrook Academy of Art (1966). While visiting Iowa City, IA as an undergraduate, he met Harry Duncan (1917–97), a printer and typographer at the University of Iowa, who was also a leading participant in the revival of interest in letterpress printing. It was during that visit that he first saw a hand-crafted letterpress book. In Detroit he founded The Perishable Press Limited in 1964, followed soon after by the Shadwell Papermill at Cranbrook; involvements that gradually led to the publication of about 130 limited edition books by such well-known writers as Paul Blackburn, Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, Loren Eiseley, Denise Levertov, W.

WPA guides
Robert Winter
Guides to every state in the Union (and some of the major cities) that were written under the auspices of the Federal Writers Project created by the Works Progress Administration/Federal Art Project during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The idea was part of Roosevelt's attempt to find work for the thousands of Americans who had been left jobless by the Great Depression of the 1930s. Published between 1937 and 1942, each one began with short chapters on subjects such as political history, the arts, architecture, labor movements, economics and education. These were followed by sections on major cities and their resources. About half of each guide was devoted to a series of tours that might be taken along country roads as well as major highways. They included details of small towns that are still valuable to scholars.
The Federal Writers Project hired some important authors, but few of them wrote for the guides. They were composed by people of lesser note such as unknown college professors, amateur naturalists and architecture buffs. The great majority of the researchers were people who had no training in gathering facts but who nevertheless pursued them with care. One also suspects that the high quality of the finished products was the result of the work of capable editors....


It is still Easter. It will be Easter forever, but this is still the Easter season, and the empty tomb, and the New Jerusalem, and the Lamb upon the throne, and the river of life, and the gathering of all creation, continues to vibrate through our readings and song.
Paul and his companions have set out on their second missionary journey, visiting congregations they have planted and hoping to go into new regions. But the door is continually blocked until they find themselves in the port city of Troas and a vision leads them across the Aegean Sea to Macedonia and Greece and the ancient heart of Greek culture. There, across the sea, in the Roman colony of Philippi, the planted word takes root, beginning with Lydia and growing into Paul's most beloved congregation.
The psalmist calls all nations and peoples to the ends of the earth to join the praise of God. John of Patmos sees the holy city, a light on a hill, beckoning all peoples. From the throne of God flows the river of the water of life and the tree of life brings healing to the nations. And then Jesus speaks to his followers of the gift of the Spirit, the advocate/defender who will stand with us and call to mind all that Jesus has said. The new creation dawns, and the peace of God is given.
and sustains the flickering flame.
"During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." – On his second missionary journey, the plans of Paul and his companions are blocked until they find themselves in the port city of Troas where Paul's vision leads them across the Aegean to Philippi are received by Lydia.
"And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it." – In this culminating vision of the Book of Revelation of all things made new and the heavenly Jerusalem coming to dwell on earth, the prophet sees a city that is a beckoning light to all people and the tree of life brings healing to the nations.
"I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you." – On the night of the last Supper, Jesus declares that he will not abandon his followers, but will send the Spirit to be their guide and defender.

IPL 2019 final was more emotional than 2015 WC semi-final – De Kock
IPL 2019: Another no-ball controversy in RCB vs SRH match last night
The 2019 version of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is full of interesting headlines and controversies undoubtedly at the start of the season and maybe it will continue till the end. The competition has successfully figured out how to make a few features and to create a new headline.
While the vast majority of the features have been about the marvelous exhibitions on the field, another ongoing bizarre incident during the Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad has made an objection on the web-based social networking.

RCB's captain Virat Kohli and bowler Umesh Yadav were noticeably baffled by a no-ball that was called by the umpire in the last-over against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match of this season at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday.
Umesh Yadav's fourth ball of the last over of the SRH innings was called a no-ball by the umpire Nigel Llong. But the TV replays clearly showed that Umesh's back leg had arrived inside the popping crease. As a result, it left Virat Kohli into much disappointment at the decision and he had a word with the umpire Nigel Llong. Umesh Yadav also had a quick chat with him but the decision was not changed as per the rules and the match was continued.
Umesh Yadav went for 28 runs in that last over and that no-ball controversy made him more frustrated. However, it didn't cost RCB later as they won the match by six wickets and finished the season in style.
However, this was not the first time RCB had faced a no-ball controversy. Earlier in this season, in their match against Mumbai Indians at this same venue they faced another this type of incident. In that match at the last ball of the innings from Lasith Malinga, he stepped over the crease and it was supposed to be a no ball. But the umpire didn't notice it and RCB lost the match by 6 runs.

Mahindra Profit Rises 44% on Higher Sales, One-Time Gain
May 30, 2012 | Posted in Manufacturer News
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (MM), India's largest maker of sport utility vehicles and tractors, reported fourth-quarter profit increased 44 percent on higher sales and a one-time gain.
Net income, excluding subsidiaries, rose to 8.74 billion rupees ($156 million) in the three months ended March 31 from 6.07 billion rupees, the Mumbai-based company said today. This beat the 6.17 billion-rupee median of 38 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. It reported a one-time gain of 1.08 billion rupees, according to the statement.
Sales climbed 39 percent to 92.4 billion rupees. The maker of Xylo and Scorpio vehicles sold more of its vehicles, the bulk of which are diesel powered, after rising gasoline prices prompted car buyers to opt for subsidized diesel.
"The growth in the profits of the company, despite the relentless increase in material costs, is due to a good volume performance by both vehicles and tractors and tight control on expenses," Mahindra said in a statement today. "The company expects growth to pick up in the second half of 2012-13."
Shares of the automaker rose 0.6 percent to 659 rupees as of 2:35 p.m. in Mumbai trading. The benchmark Sensitive Index declined 0.2 percent.
The utility-vehicle maker, which introduced the XUV500 sport-utility vehicle last year to compete in the premium SUV market, said on May 28 that it had raised capacity to 4,000 units a month, and would begin taking orders from across the country from June 8. Priced between 1.15 million rupees and 1.4 million rupees, the XUV500 initially received 8,000 orders in 10 days.
A second round of bookings resulted in over 25,000 bookings, according to the statement.


While most Americans understand the social courtesy of giving up your seat for the elderly, handicapped, pregant mothers, or mothers with small children, there is an unspoken rule of the subway that I did not realize. On all of the subway cars there is a maroon section of seats, which is reserved for the elderly. Ingnorant of this unspoken rule, before I was told about it I would often sit down in this area because there was an open seat. I never realized that I was being scolded by the looks of other elderly people sitting around me, and while looking like your typical Korean that should know this custom, it was something I learned through being told by another local. Important! Also the subway stops running at midnight on the weekdays and actually stops around 11:30pm on Friday and Saturdays, so if you find yourself standing at a station late at night, you are out of luck, but thankfully taxis are inexpensive in Seoul. Also if you have a T-money transit card and you use to for say taking the bus to the subway station the transfer if free. There is about a 30-minute window to do this, but you will notice there is no additional charge for this transfer.
When you are born in South Korea, at the time of your birth you are considered to already be a year old, which for many women in the States, this would be a dreadful horrible thing.
Did you know that South Korea is in the top five worldwide for cosmetic surgery? One in five women in Seoul have had some type of procedure done and one of the most popular that I was unaware of blepharoplasty, also known as "double eyelid surgery" and can be done for as cheap as $400. Men are not exempt from this category, whether it be surgery or purchasing cosmetics. Apparently men spend on average $900 million a year on a variety of facial cleansers, anti-ageing moisturizes, eye creams, and skin-whitening or bleaching creams. Yes, the lighter your skin, the more prominent person you are in Korean society. This seems to be a reverse ideal from what it used to be in the States–meaning those that were more pale in color were of higher ranking in society, while the more tan or darker you were signified that you work outside doing a lower-class manual labor job and over time now it signifies the darker or more tan you are is not only more attractive but typically shows that you have more leisure time to enjoy lounging around the pool.
Since yesterday was quite the surreal experience with meeting my birth mother for the first time, the actual flood of emotions didn't hit me until later last night as I was alone in bed and just brokedown. It was something that I have dreamt about and I could have never guessed that our first meeting would have gone as well as it did. Still thinking back to leaving her at the subway station and having her watching me walk away and looking back about halfway down the block and she was still standing in the exact spot, watching my every step and as she saw me turn back she was there with the biggest smile on her face waving at me–this still gets to me. And after posting the blog about the experience I cannot be thankful and feel blessed by all of the incredible support from family and friends that left such encouraging comments. So again thank you all!
Today, our morning began with waking up at 8am where it is the first time both groups are gathered together, since we were divided into two groups for meeting our birth families on Tuesday (morning and afternoon sessions), this is our first chance to meet everyone in the Home to Home Program. Our division has also separated the eight of us, where Mikey, Danielle and Kaitlynn (aka the twins), and myself are staying at Mugunghwa House, while Stephanie, Angi, Emily, and Hanah are staying at ESWS Headquarters. Brief introductions are made before the whirlwind of an exhausting week of events begins. Our first stop on the tour of the nursery where all of the babies waiting to be adopted or placed with foster parents. Since I have been fortunate enough to have experienced this already, it was more fun to see how everyone else reacted to this heart-wrenching moment–just knowing that every one of us, with the exception of Hanah, had spent some amount of time here before being adopted by our American families. After spending several minutes in this area we were escorted to a larger office where we were shown a short 8-minute video of the history of Eastern Social Welfare Services and then met with the President, Dr. Kim Jin Sook, who shared a bit of her life growing up in Korea, who it has changed, and more about the history of ESWS. As stomachs began growling we noticed that the next item on our itinerary was a provided lunch. Since the facility consists of an entire office building that is about six or seven floors and we walked from one floor to another, finally we are escorted through a double doors and I am surprised that there is rather large dining hall that is the cafeteria for the workers and volunteers. Since the room is practically empty they have set up a table for us and there is a prepared traditional Korean meal for our group. Sticking closely to our structured schedule, lunch is exactly one-hour before we are told that we will be visiting GyeongBokGung Palace, where taxi fares and several volunteer translators will be accompanying us for the afternoon. The next thing we know since our group is about 15-people as some of the other adoptees family members are joining us, we are split up between several taxis and quickly Hanah, Angi, myself, and one of the volunteers are practically tossed in to a taxi. Once we begin driving we can't help but laugh at how chaotic this is already beginning to feel a bit.
The impressive Gyeongbokgung (경복궁) , also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace, is an impressive structure first built in 1395 and was later caught on fire and abandoned for almost three centuries. It was not reconstructed until 1867 and consists of five grand palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name means "Palace" (Gung) "Greatly Blessed by Heaven" (Gyeongbok). Since this is part of our cultural experience of Korea, tickets as well as an English tour guide is provided. As arrive at the entrance we for fortunate enough to watching the changing of the guards dressed in traditional Korean attire, this lasts for about 15-minutes before we begin the long 90-minute tour. Several of the girls are not prepared for all of the walking, wearing heels, on a mix of dirt gravel sections and large flagstones courtyards that encompass the five-inner courtyards or palaces before finally reaching the king's private living quarters, Gangnyeongjeon Hall. By the time the tour finishes, we are already exhausted and this is only the beginning of more walking. After speaking with the volunteers we are told that there is not enough time to return to our places of accommodation, since we are being taken to the musical Nanta in a few short hours. After coming to a strong consensus as a group after wandering around the area of the Grand Palance, we beg our guides to help us find a coffee shop so we can just sit and rest for a few moments. After a 15 or 20-minute walk and several debates in Korean among our volunteers we finally reach Tom N Tom's Coffee. This brief break only allows for about 20-minutes before we are told that we need to begin finding taxis and are shuffled to the Nanta Theater.
Arriving at the Nanta Theater around 4pm, the tickets for the show were provided at no cost to the adoptees, but since we had several family members that joined us, they had to purchase their own tickets, which range between ₩40,000 and ₩70,000 ($38-$66). While the show is described as a non-verbal perfomance that integrates Korea's traditional rhythm, Samulnori, with comedy, there is some dialect, but even without any understanding of Korean the show is easy to follow as it relies more on body language and comedic puns. After discussing a description of the performance, we came to the general consensus that the 90-minute show is similar to Stomp: The Musical meets a live version of Iron Chief. NANTA is quite entertaining and I would suggest going, especially if you have children. There is also a bit of audience participation and a high degree of encouraging the crowd to clap and make noise. Unsure the length of this production, since in the States most shows have a relative period of time, Nanta however has a long history as it began in 1997 and seems to be a permanent show, boasting more than 7,000,000 worldwide have enjoyed the performance and in 2009 received the award for being the Best Urban program. Even if you are not planning to be visit Seoul while in Korea but wold like to catch the performance, there are apparently three theaters locations throughout Korea according to their website.
After the show we had the slight chaos of once again organizing multiple taxis back to the Hongdae area for all of us, and while transportation and all of today's organized activity costs were provided, dinner however was not. Feeling quite hungry and a lack of restaurants directly around the area of our accommodtions Angi, Hanah, and myself were the lone few that did not have plans with our families as everyone else did, so the three of us wandered around the area until we found an inexpensive restaurant and began sharing our personal experiences together. It was a great chance to be in a smaller group setting and hearing about how each of us grew up, what this trip to Korea has been to us, and all of the emotional highs and lows we've been experiencing. At one point Angi decided to leave Hanah and I at the restaurant to wonder off and purchase some souvenirs. This was great because Hanah and I were too exhausted from all today's walking that we were content to just sit in the restaurant and keep talking. I still love hearing Aussie accents, and since Hanah is from the wine country near Adelaide–the souther part of the country, I enjoyed hearing her talk more than myself. Since I want to respect all of the new friends I've made that are adoptees, I won't be sharing much of their personal stories because I still undersand that it can be both a very private and sensitive topic even though most of us have shared with one another very often painful experiences we've had both growing up and dealing with the roller coaster of meeting our birth families for the first time. We did have a great evening of discussion, and I felt that with each conversation I would have with each of the members in our group, this being one of the first, for the week that this would be a lifelong bond that we would all share with one another even after departing at the end of the week. Since Thursday was our earliest morning of the weeklong events and strict itinerary–waking up at 6:30am in order to be prepared to leave at 7:40am tomorrow–we decided to call it a night.
I will say that since my backpacking lifestyle has been a very open lifestyle with a lack of any specific daily or weekly plans at time, this is certainly a drastic change and has been the most structured itinerary I have had to deal with in almost 2-years, but regardless it still has been amazing to be surrounded by other Korean adoptees and to be in a place where we feel a connection to our heritage has been wonderful. Knowing and discussing that we are no longer the minority, and not described as the 'short asian girl' or the 'asian whatever' feels nice, and we all feel that those that have never felt like a minority, could certainly benefit from undergoing what it feels like to be constantly stared at and even asked ridiculous questions, which will be brought up in a future post. Until then, rets just have a rearry good time!

Below Movie Review 2002
Information and Film Reviews for Below the Movie
Nothing is certain in director David Twohy's creepy submarine thriller. The captain of World War II sub U.S.S. Manta has died under dubious circumstances, and the crew is already on edge when they rescue three survivors of a torpedoed British hospital ship. When one of these survivors is a woman (Williams), allegedly unlucky on a sub, tensions run even higher. With the Germans tracking the sub, strange events begin to occur, which could be vengeful actions of the captain's ghost, a saboteur, hallucinations caused by lack of oxygen or some combination of the three. As the disasters pile up, the crew becomes divided between acting captain Brice (Greenwood) and rebellious ensign O'Dell (Davis), who has the strangely outspoken Claire on his side. Characters are a bit one-dimensional, but the effects and acting are above average for a B movie.

GAME DAY: Jets visit Wild to begin back-to-back slate
Scott Billeck
Dmitry Kulikov and the Minnesota Wild take on the Jets Friday night. Getty images.
WINNIPEG JETS 9-6-4
at MINNESOTA WILD 12-6-1
Friday, 2:30 p.m., Xcel Energy Center, TV: TSN3 Radio: 680 CJOB
WHY WATCH?
The Jets need a win
Things are starting to heat up in the Central Division race and the Jets have lost four straight, scoring just four goals over that time and going 0-for-11 on the power play during the skid (and 1-for-22 since Nov. 6). What's worse is the team has essentially wasted some of Connor Hellebuyck's best hockey. The 2019-20 Vezina winner has allowed two goals or fewer in eight straight starts now, including the three he's picked up a loss in during the losing streak.
POINTS LEADERS
Jets GP G A PTS +/-
Kyle Connor 19 12 10 22 9
Pierre-Luc Dubois 19 10 6 16 7
Andrew Copp 19 5 11 16 10
Wild GP G A PTS +/-
Kirill Kaprizov 19 5 13 18 1
Ryan Hartman 19 10 4 14 11
Mats Zuccarello 14 4 10 14 6
Power play:
Jets 18.9% (18th)
Wild 17% (23rd)
Penalty kill:
Jets 65.4% (31st)
Wild 80.6% (19th)
THREE THINGS ABOUT THE WILD
Minnesota's power play isn't clicking any better than the Jets at the moment. Despite goals in back-to-back games earlier this week, the Wild have gone 2-for-22 since Nov. 11.
Ryan Hartman will be a player the Jets will want to keep an eye on. The forward has three goals in his past four games and became the first Wild player to notch 10 this season. It's the first time Hartman has hit double digits since the 2018-19 season when he was with the Nashville Predators.
No lead is safe against Minnesota, as the Jets will attest to during their 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild last month. Joel Eriksson Ek scored with 59 seconds remaining in the game to tie it 5-5, then scored 3:30 into overtime to seal the two points on the power play. The Wild pace the NHL with seven goals scored in the final minute of regulation this season.
