LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) April 11, 2019
As a versatile musical veteran in the music business, drummer, Kevin Michael takes another opportunity to feed his fan-base with his newly released single "Hitchhiker".
Scott Yanow's review:
"HitchHiker" was written by drummer Kevin Michaels' aunt and uncle Cielle and Michael Kollander for the Four Preps in 1966, and was originally recorded as a '45 released by Capitol. The vocal recording is a nice mainstream pop record for the time. Michael Kollander was a staff writer for A&M and Capitol in the 1960s (including for the 5th Dimension and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) and also played guitar with many notables including Bobby Darin, the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Charo, and Tom Scott. Cielle Kollander was a backup singer for the Fifth Dimension, Andy Williams, Les Baxter, Roger Kellaway and others. Their nephew, Kevin Michaels, started his career recording on percussion for the Beach Boys, played with the members of Canned Heat, and has led a variety of groups since that time.
When he was booked in 2018 to headline at the Woodystock Blues Festival, Kevin Michaels decided to pay tribute to his aunt and uncle by writing a new arrangement of "HitchHiker." The performance, which will be released in April, takes the pop tune and recasts it as a soulful instrumental played by a jazz septet comprised of Michaels on drums, guitarist Ronnie B. Good, keyboardist John Gulack, bassist George M. Webster, trumpeter Roy Wiegand Jr, trombonist Roy Wiegand Sr. and tenor-saxophonist Mike Nelson. It has fine solos from Nelson and Good with strong accompaniment by Gulack's keyboards and the brass section. The relaxed groove is infectious and, even though the piece has been modernized a little, the new arrangement keeps the essence of the original song.
When it was played for Cielle Kollander, she was visibly touched to hear the song revived in this fashion. Listeners will enjoy comparing the two versions.

The links to the original song "Hitchhiker" written by Cielle (Ginger) and Michaels the live headlining performance at Woodystock are outlined below to enjoy. Original version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD4iFX7PCkk
"I'm excited after so many years of writing and arranging, performing and recording rock, funk, blues, R&B, country and reggae tunes, to finally offer my own version my aunt Cielle and Mike's song Hitchhiker, which was a pop song written in 1966 for the FOUR PREPS. I've turned it into a brazillian bossa-nova jazz arrangement with three horns, as an offering and tribute to them for their lifes' work in the music business, which has long by now been forgotten. I remember growing up, having been surrounded by many famous musicians at the time, like Chuck Domanico, Roger Kellaway, Tom Scott, Andy Williams, Maynard Ferguson, Joe Porcaro, Emil Richards, John Guerin, including some wrecking crew members like Mike Lang, Don Randi, Leon Russell, and many others, RIP that are now long gone. I know that this version of Hitchhiker will grow on my fans, and whoever else hears it. They'll simply love it from that moment on, for what it represents: the best of the past, and the best in a contemporary jazz latin arrangement" says Michaels.
Kevin looks at performance with a professional focus leading to masterful presentations in most popular genres. That is what makes his musicianship extra-special, from festivals, special events, corporate events, fundraisers and more, his band can bring the musical flavors that will sure to be a successful presentation.
"Hitchhiker" can be purchased at CDbaby.com as well as on the official Kevin Michaels website. To learn more go to https://kevinmichaels.us.

Despite being central in one of the most despicable acts of unsportsmanship of all time young Nelson Piquet earned back some credit after fighting Renault all the way through the courts to quash allegations against him that he intended to blackmail Renault into offering him a new contract. To explain the background briefly; Piquet agreed to crash on purpose at the 2008 Singapore GP in order to bring out a safety car which would result in his teammate, Alonso, winning the race. Renault issued the order vicariously through Renault boss Flavio Briatore, since banned. Renault issued a statement claiming Piquet intended to reveal Renault's dastardly plan unless they gave him a contract for the following season. Renault were telling lies. It turns out Piquet was quite happy to crash to simply help the team and had nothing to do with securing a new contract (which he never got in the end). So anyway all this simply means that Piquet was vilified even more than he should have been thanks to Renault's accusations. Its all a sorry mess really but there is a modicum of relief in the knowledge that amongst all the mudslinging, including hyperbolic claims that lives were put in danger because of the intentional crash, the truly outrageous stuff can be filtered out.

The platform lists and highlights more than 60 initiatives tackling disinformation throughout the French-speaking world.
ODIL, the platform of Francophones initiatives tackling disinformation, brings together anti-disinformation initiatives in the Francophone space in order to give them greater visibility on a global scale and to understand their specificities.
The first step of the creation of the platform was to list all disinformation initiatives in the 88 countries of the Francophonie and discuss their processes, challenges, to see how mutual cooperation could be created. ODIL gathers different types of initiatives:
fact-checking newsrooms
tools labelling misinformation
research projects related to fake-news, mis- and disinformation
media and information literacy initiatives
That led to the creation of a report and establishment of recommendations for the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie .
Then, ODIL expanded and welcomed new features. The second version of the website hosts, in addition to the catalogue of initiates:
an index of public policies countering disinformation in the Francophonie
a series of podcasted interviews highlighting the work, the diversity and the quality of initiatives tackling disinformation in the Francophonie
a weekly newsletter in which ODIL relays the French-speaking news on the fight against disinformation (articles, events, conferences, studies) …
a secure and encrypted messaging app dedicated to users who signed in to be registered. This way they can exchange and communicate in dedicated chats.

She originally gave her handmade designs to family and friends as gifts, but after friends continued to encourage her to sell the pieces, the business quickly boomed. Shortly after a $10,000 home trunk show, enewton was discovered at a local school by an Atlanta Apparel Emerging Designer committee member. Two months later, Elizabeth took a chance with a booth at the apparel market. During enewton's first market, 10 retailers were signed and Elizabeth realized that her simple mission was striking a chord with many.
Today, enewton pieces are carried in over 500 storefronts. The company continues to grow thanks to all of their supporters and retailers, and continues to create elegant, expressive designs perfect for any style and any occasion.

Quality Orthodontic Care is proud to be able to complete early (Phase I) treatment with Invisalign First. Early, or interceptive, treatment is aimed at managing conditions including, but not limited to, functional issues (chewing, breathing), premature loss of baby teeth, trauma-prone tooth protrusion, and jaw alignment. Using Invisalign's patented technology, but being geared towards smaller, growing mouths, special features such as eruption compensation allow for an effective solution for treatment of the mixed (primary and permanent) dentition. With increased cleansability and comfort, and no dietary restrictions, changes to hygiene regimen, or irritation due to pokey wires, Invisalign First is an excellent introduction for children to orthodontic care.
Dr. Brett Gluck and Dr. Zachary Levin will determine if early orthodontic treatment may provide a benefit to your child. Skeletal growth can be closely tracked allowing jaws to be guided into position. Tooth eruption may be managed to efficiently direct teeth into alignment. Detection and correction of potential problems before they become more serious can ultimately help save time and money by potentially shortening duration of full treatment, even reducing or eliminating the possible need for tooth extractions.
Call, click or come in schedule your child's free initial consultation to determine if Invisalign First is right for them.

SyFy Promises Quality SF, Gives Us Light Space Opera Instead
SyFy, the infamous TV channel that gave us the monumental TV adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune / Dune Messiah / Children of Dune and the best SF series of all time, Battlestar Galactica, has failed to live up to our expectations ever since. Sanctuary and Warehouse 13 were nice shows to watch, albeit not as memorable as they should have been, and Eureka also had its ups and downs, although it was a good show at the end of the day. But while other channels gave us Fringe, The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, SyFy was stuck at a much lower level.
The channel has promised five shows to lure back science fiction hungry audiences. Helix was a good one in the first season, but the second one was by far not as memorable. I haven't even seen the last two episodes, choosing to play royal vegas online casino games instead. 12 Monkeys was a nice idea, but lacking the "wow" factor Terry Gilliam's original had. The Expanse looks like something of value, but it will be a mini-series (just like Galactica was at the beginning), and it has to be very (I mean VERY) good to be picked up as a series. Childhood's End may end up to be a treat for lovers of classic science fiction, but judging by the trailer it will only be "inspired by" the original, making it a more entertaining and possibly less philosophical than the book.
Until these two major pieces of work will be released, the channel is trying to fill the gap with two TV series which might sometime in the future become great works, but right now they are just a handful of space operas perfect for munching popcorn and downing cold ones in the evening: Dark Matter and Killjoys.
Having seen the first three episodes of Dark Matter, the only thing I have to say is "been there, done that" countless times in the past. The show has two big names behind it – Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, who gave us Stargate and Stargate: Atlantis – so it might become something of value later on. But right now it is just a collection of cliches that fail to engage, presenting its viewers with mysteries that they might not even be curious to uncover.
Killjoys has an interesting background, and has the potential to become the next Farscape, but until now it lacks that certain "je ne sais quois" that would pin me in front of the screen. It has quite a bit of action and suspense, and dark secrets in the past of one of the lead characters' past, but so far nothing that I would truly call original. It's like the fifth season of Andromeda mixed with a dash of Firefly (not enough by far), and has a lot of "low budget" written all over its visuals. It might become a great show if it lives long enough, but right now it's just another lightweight summer space opera.
Hopefully this is not the best SyFy can do, otherwise us, in search of quality science fiction on TV, are doomed.

CD Review: Ace Frehley "Space Invader"
Our Score: 4 out of 5 stars
Original Kiss guitarist and recent Rock and Roll Hall Fame inductee Ace Frehley is back with a brand new full length studio album appropriately titled "Space Invader". The album is being released via eOne Entertainment and features 11 brand new tracks along with Frehley's beefed up rendition of the Steve Miller Band classic "The Joker".
Over the past few years Ace has seemed to have gone through a period of career revitalization. First was the release of "Anomaly" in 2009, which was Frehley's first solo release in over 20 years. Shortly after that was the release of his first autobiography titled "No Regrets" and of course we all know about the controversy surrounding Kiss's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This brings us to Frehley's newest musical offering "Space Invader". The album takes a much grittier approach than Ace's previous release yet is still classic Space Ace all the way.
Tracks such as "Space Invader" dominate your speakers with groovy rhythms and snappy vocal passages that are reminiscent of Frehley's early solo works. As the album progresses Ace continues to prove that even at the age of 63 he is still more than capable of bringing rock and roll to the masses. The track "Change" was probably my most favorite off the album as it features a really big sound complimented by one of the better solos I found on the record. Another notable track worth checking out was Ace's rendition of the Steve Miller Band song "The Joker".
Even though I have heard countless covers of this song Frehley's interpretation was fresh and fun making it a great summertime song to throw on at your next cook out. Both Kiss and Non-Kiss fans will want to check out this release as it's a fun listen that has a little something for everyone.

Blu-ray Review "Doctor Who: An Adventure in Space and Time"
Starring: David Bradley, Jessica Raine, Brian Cox, Sacha Dhawan, Lesley Manville, Jamie Glover
Director: Terry McDonough
Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: BBC Home Entertainment
Film: 4 out of 5 stars
Extras: 4.5 out of 5 stars
When I saw the advertisement for "An Adventure in Space and Time", I thought it was another "Doctor Who" special or documentary, I had no idea that it was a docudrama about the origin of the show itself. The film stars David Bradley as William Hartnell, the actor who portrayed the First Doctor, along with Jessica Raine, Jamie Glover, Sacha Dhawan, Lesley Manville, Jemma Powell, Reece Shearsmith, Mark Eden and Brian Cox. The film has a certain television feel to it but I was literally in love with it from the movie it started. David Bradley is such an amazing actor and it was nice to see him take the spotlight for once and really shine. As a huge "Doctor Who" fan, I encourage everyone to see this if you are a fan of the series. It is a great story, well done and at the same time very entertaining.
Official Premise: Travel back in time to witness the dramatic birth of Doctor Who. Actor William Hartnell (David Bradley, Filch from the Harry Potter films, Game of Thrones) felt trapped by a succession of tough-guy roles. Wannabe producer Verity Lambert (Jessica Raine, Call the Midwife) was frustrated by the TV industry's glass ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday afternoon drama, time travel and monsters! Allied with a brilliant creative team, they went on to introduce the world to the longest running science fiction series ever, currently in its 50th year and counting.
BBC Home Entertainment deliver this release as a 3-disc set Blu-ray + DVD combo pack. The Blu-ray includes the film "An Adventure in Space and Time" presented with a very impressive 1080p transfer and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround and a slew of extras. First off, we have "William Hartnell: The Original" features cast/crew talking about the actor. "The Making of 'An Adventure in Space and Time" is narrated by Carol Ann Ford and goes behind-the-scenes with cast/crew. "Reconstruction: Four Sequences" has the producers talking about recreating the title shots. There are also two deleted Scenes included.
The second disc, which is a bonus DVD, is a real winner. It includes "An Unearthly Child" from 1963, which is the original broadcast version of the very first "Doctor Who" series, in 4 episodes. It also includes the "Original Pilot of An Unearthly Child", which shelved and never used. There is also commentary track available on both episode 1 and 4 of the original "An Unearthly Child", as well as commentary for the 40 minute pilot. Lastly there are various theme music videos, comedy sketches and a photo gallery included. Disc three is a DVD version of "An Adventure in Space and Time" wrapping out this amazing combo pack.

DVD Review "Space Stars: The Complete Series"
Created by: Hanna-Barbera
Distributed: Warner Archive
DVD Release Date: October 8, 2013
Growing up in the 80's, I was raised quite a bit by the work of Hanna-Barbera. I watched their cartoons for my entire childhood. It didn't matter which ones they were, if it branded the stamp of Hanna-Barbera, I was interested. Now as an adult these characters are still very relevant, thanks to Cartoon Network and Adult Swim's animated programming like "Harvey Birdman" and "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast". "Space Stars" was a short lived series from 1980-1981 but it holds a special place for any fan of 80's cartoons and finally it is available for the first time on DVD as a complete series, thanks to Warner Archive.
Official Premise: As the entire world went "space action" crazy at the end of the Seventies, Hanna-Barbera reconvened its Sci-Fi superstars Space Ghost and the Herculoids for another round of adventures. Joining the sixties sci-fi faves in their interstellar battle against evil were newcomers Teen Force and Astro and the Space Mutts (yes, that Astro!). But there's more to the story to know before you blastoff on adventures as big as the cosmos itself! Get ready to enjoy Space Stars complete with the recently-uncovered, never-before-seen "Space Science" segments restored in all their educational glory. Race! – to learn Space Magic tricks with Blip! Streak to learn Space Facts from Space Ace! Rock out to the synth wonder of the Space Mix! Solve Space Mysteries deep in space with Teen Force and join the Herculoids to crack the Space Code. They're back – for the first time ever!
"Space Stars" consists of four cartoon segments: "Space Ghost", "The Herculoids", "Teen Force", and "Astro and the Space Mutts". "Space Ghost" and "The Herculoids" were well-known from their shows back in the 60's but "Teen Force" and "Astro and the Space Mutts" (which features the dog from "The Jetsons") were new shows. There were 22 episodes of "Space Ghost", while the others all had 11 episodes. There were also 11 cross-over episodes with each of the segments combined. If you grew up watching this show then this release is a must own.
This series has been newly remastered and released on DVD together for the first time ever. TV networks like Boomerang and Cartoon has shown a few segments here and there over the years but never fully and there was never a complete DVD released either. The episodes are crisp and look great for a show over 30 years old. Besides the 66 episodes included, there are no special features included but if you are a fan of this series, I am sure that you will just be happy enough to finally have these episodes to watch and re-watch at your leisure. Warner Archive, please keep releasing great lost shows like this!

3D Blu-ray Review "IMAX: Space Junk 3D"
Actors: Don Kessler, Tom Wilkinson
Directors: Melissa R. Butts
Studio: IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT
Film: 3.5 out of 5 stars
3D: 4 out of 5 stars
Extras: 3 out of 5 stars
There is something about space that has always facisinated me, probably everything. For me it is the unknown that lies above us. IMAX has provided some great films about space including "Space Station 3D". "Space Junk 3D" is a very educational title and also very entertaining. It is narrated by two time Academy Award® Nominee Tom Wilkinson ("In the Bedroom" and "Michael Clayton"). He delivered an excellent and fun overview of this topic backed with some very impressive visuals that only an IMAX film could bring us. There is also great interviews with leading experts like Don Kessler. I have to admit, I didn't really know much about this topic prior to watching but I am sucker for anything in space and now I find myself researching long after the 37 minute film completed, so I call that mission accomplished!
Official Premise: What Goes Up Doesn't Always Come Down. With media headlines repeatedly warning us of debris falling from the skies, orbital debris (or "space junk") has finally risen to the forefront of social consciousness. "Space Junk 3D", narrated by Academy Award® Nominee Tom Wilkinson, is the first movie to explore the exponentially expanding ring of debris that threatens the safety of our planet's orbits. Experience mind-boggling collisions, both natural and man-made. Soar the stunning depths of Meteor Crater to an unprecedented view of our increasingly crowded orbits – 22,000 miles above earth! Join foremost expert Don Kessler, the "Father of Space Junk," guides us through the challenges we face in protecting them, forging a new age of space discovery. This is a 3D cosmic adventure like no other!
Image is releasing this film with both a Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray discs. The 1080p transfer originally shot for IMAX screens looks quite amazing and is presented in high definition widescreen 1.78:1. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track works very well with Tom Hambleton's score. The special features are worth checking out as well in addition to this film. They included a behind-the-scenes "Making of" look into the film. There is an "Interview with Tom Wilkinson" included, which is a must watch. There is also a behind-the-scenes photo gallery and an extensive 3D trailer set included.

Blu-ray Review "Doctor Who: Spearhead from Space (Story 51)"
Actors: Jon Pertwee, Nicholas Courtney, Caroline John
Directors: Derek Martinus
"Doctor Who" is bigger than it ever has been. With news of the 12th doctor recently released and the upcoming 50th anniversary episode, things have never been hotter for the series. So that is a perfect time to release "Spearhead From Space (Story 51)" on Blu-ray for the first time. In fact it is the first of any classic Doctor Who episodes to be released in this format. This was the first story of Season 7 of Doctor Who and also was the first to feature Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor. We also get introduced to Caroline John as the Doctor's new companion, Liz Shaw. "Spearhead from Space" is a great story in the series and this is a must buy for any "Doctor Who" fan for sure. I hope that BBC has plans for future stories in this format.
Official Premise: Exile! The Time Lords have banished the newly regenerated Doctor to Earth. But the Doctor isn't the only alien to have arrived, as a swarm of meteorites have crashed into the sleepy English countryside, bringing with them a terrible new threat to mankind. As the Nestene plan takes shape, UNIT, the Doctor and his newly appointed scientific advisor, Liz Shaw, race against time to stop humanity being replaced by a terrifying plastic facsimile race.
If you are curious as to why there isn't more classic "Doctor Who" episodes being released on high-definition on Blu-ray, that is because "Spearhead From Space" was the first o be shot entirely on film, due to BBC strike. It was also the first classic story to be presented in full color. It has been restored from the original 16mm film elements and scanned into a beautiful high definition transfer. It looks amazing on Blu-ray and within its original television 1.33:1 aspect ratio. The audio is also impressive with a sharp DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 track. There is also a few decent special features included on the Blu-ray including "A Dandy and a Clown", "Carry On: The Life of Caroline John", "Title Sequence Material" and "Restoration Comparison: Digitally Remastered Picture and Sound Quality". So this is a well-rounded release, another solid release from BBC.

Blu-ray Review "WWII From Space"
Studio: History Channel
Distributed by: Lionsgate Films
Our Score: 3.5 out of 5 stars
There has been countless programs about WWII over the years and thanks to The History Channel they have been behind most of these. I am a sucker for these programs and a downright History buff. When I heard about viewing the events of "WWII from Space", I have to admit I was extremely interested. I mean who isn't curious about anything to do with space. Of course, there is nothing new here in terms of content but this special does feature some really stunning CGI mixed with historical facts, which gives us a interest look into America's part in World War II from a new angle. A must for all History buffs.
Official Premise: WWII FROM SPACE delivers World War II in a way you've never experienced it before. This two-hour HISTORY special uses an all-seeing CGI eye that offers a satellite view of the conflict, allowing you to experience it in a way that places key events and tipping points in a global perspective. By re-creating groundbreaking moments that could never have been captured on camera and by illustrating the importance of simultaneity and the hidden effects of crucial incidents, HISTORY presents the war's monumental moments in never- before-seen context. And with new information brought to the forefront, you'll better understand how a nation ranked 19th in the world's militaries in 1939 emerged six years later as the planet's only atomic superpower.
History Channel delivers nothing but a stunning Blu-ray release. The 1080p transfer with an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 is very sharp. This works very well with the CGI effects, I would have loved to seen them release them in 3D as they have done with some specials. I have a feeling that this could have made this even cooler. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is also very impressive. It features a stronger narrative and a powerful score. There are no additional special features included with this release, but that is typical with specials like this.

Richard Riehle talks about playing Santa Claus, "Office Space" and "Texas Chainsaw 3D"
Richard Riehle is best known for his cult favorite role of Tom Smykowski in "Office Space". He has played Santa Claus more than five times, including films like Disney's "The Search for Santa Paws" to "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas". Besides comedies, he has also broke out in the horror genre with films like "Hatchet" and the upcoming "Texas Chainsaw 3D". Media Mikes had a chance to chat with Richard about his amazing career to date and his love for what he does.
Mike Gencarelli: After playing roles in over 150 films and over a 100 TV series; what keep you drives and keep you inspired?
Richard Riehle: I love it because every project is a new experience and adventure. You go from playing Santa Claus one day to a serial killer the next. It offers all sorts of opportunities to try new things. Whether it is for a physical or psychological role. It is just great.
MG: Since it is the Holiday season, I have to ask what do you enjoy most about playing Santa Claus five times now, most recently in "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas"?
RR: They are all different. It ranges from "The Search for Santa Paws", which is a family film with talking dogs, to "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas", where I am a bong smoker [laughs]. I just love it.
MG: Can you tell us about how you got involved with "Office Space"?
RR: "Office Space" was just an amazing experience. Mike Judge spent a long time casting it, partly because he wanted a group of people that enjoyed hanging out with each other. I think that aspect really shows in the film. We got down to Austin and he told us flat out that we are going to be working some long hours but that every night he would take us out to the clubs or dinner. We just had a great time. It was a 26 day party.
MG: Can you reflect on the cult following that the film and your role Tom Smykowski has developed over the years?
RR: It has been absolutely amazing. When it first came out it wasn't in theaters very long. We were excited about the good response it got and our work in it but we figured that it was done with. But about six months later, people were stopping me in the streets and asking me to quote the film. It just so happened at the time, I was doing a show for Fox, so I ran into Mike and he said it just came out on VHS and cable and has developed this whole new life. The most amazing part for me is that it has continued still through today. People are still quoting the film and spreading the word to their friends that haven't seen it. It is just great.
MG: I have the "Office Space" stapler on my desk [laughs]
RR: [laughs] I will tell you a fun story about that stapler. I was at a cigar place in Beverly Hills. We were about to leave but my friend said that Sammy Hagar just called and said he was coming in and always brings a bunch of really beautiful girls. So we ordered another round and waited. Sure enough he came in with all these beautiful girls. Before we left my friend said he wanted to show me his humidor, which was right under Arnold Schwarzenegger's. So as we were leaving two of Sammy's girls where heading to the bathroom and they stopped me and said "Oh you were in "Office Space", can we have an autograph?" I said "Sure" and they asked me to put down the line about the stapler. I said that actually wasn't me and that was my buddy Stephen Root…but I was in the film. I asked them again if they still wanted an autograph and they said "Yes, please…and can you put down your line about the stapler?" [laughs].
MG: You not only just play roles comedies, you have a nice range into horror genre like "Hatchet"; what do you enjoy most about switching it up in films like that?
RR: "Hatchet" was sort of my introduction to horror. I have always enjoyed watching them but for some reason I never got cast in them. A buddy of mine, Joel Moore, was played the lead in the film and called and asked if I wanted to fill in for someone that dropped out. I told him "Of course" and that I was waiting to do one. It was just such a great and fun experience. Since you are dealing with these horrific things, it is usually one of the most fun sets to be on – horror films in general. Horror films are also shot all over, so you get to go to all sorts of strange and cool places. I did one called "Growth" and we got to shoot in Martha's Vineyard, which was terrific and we got to explore the island, which was amazing.
MG: Tell us about your role of Farnsworth in "Texas Chainsaw 3D"?
RR: "Texas Chainsaw 3D", which comes out January 4th, was shot in Shreveport, Louisiana. I had never been there either. We shot a bunch of it on this old munitions plant from WWII. The film is really a great idea and it works really well. They go back to the original "Texas Chainsaw" from 1974 and start from the last shot of that film with Sally jumping into the pickup truck. Leatherface goes back to his house after his dance of frustration. The local police chief shows up at the house and tries to bring him in but the family will not let him do it. A group of vigilantes show up and level the place and everyone is thought to be dead. 18 years later, the grandmother of the whole group, who is living in a mansion outside of town, dies. I play Farnsworth, her lawyer, and I have to find this girl that supposedly didn't die during the attack and bring her back and offer her this mansion. But then of course…all hell breaks loose!
MG: Do you have a role that stands out for you're as most memorable or challenging?
RR: I certainly love Tom Smykowski in "Office Space". It was a wonderful experience doing it and since then it has lived on. I really like playing Carlson in "Of Mice and Men", which was a while back. He is the guy that shoots the dog. I also did a TV series on Fox a while back called "Grounded for Life", which was a wonderful experience as well. The thing is that it goes back to your first question; every role is so interesting and different and each with their own individual challenges. My next role is always going to be my favorite.
MG: What other projects do you have in the cards for 2013?
RR: It is hard to tell. A lot of the projects I do are these little independent films. The greatest difficulty is not so much getting them in the can, as it is finding distribution. I did this Western called "Dead Man's Burden", which I really liked. Clare Bowen, who is one of the leads in "Nashville" right now, is the lead in that. It was shot in New Mexico with no time and money. So that was recently shown in an LA film festival and I thought it came out really good. So keep an eye out for that one hopefully soon.

CD Review: Municipal Waste "The Fatal Feast: Waste in Space"
"The Fatal Feast: Waste in Space"
Producer: Municipal Waste
"The Fatal Feast: Waste in Space" is the fifth album from the Richmond, VA thrash band Municipal Waste. The band consists of Tony Foresta- Vocals, Ryan Waste- Guitar/Vocals, LandPhil- Bass/Vocal and Dave White- Drums. "The Fatal Feast: Waste in Space" features 16 new tracks and is being released via Nuclear Blast Records. This album is the follow up release to the bands 2009 album "Massive Aggressive".
Relentless and in your face thrash metal! From the opening riffs of "Repossession" to the last note of "Residential Disaster" the latest album by Municipal Waste takes hold and won't let go. The albums sound is very reminiscent of early 80's hardcore groups like M.O.D. and Suicidal Tendencies.
Guitarist/Vocalist Ryan Waste lays down some blistering riffs that are truly worthy of the head banging induced neck pain they will surely cause. Vocalist Tony Foresta's straight forward guttural vocal performances energize all 16 songs while bassist Landphil and drummer Dave White provide a thunderous bass driven back line.
While tracks such as "Covered in Sick/The Barfer" and "The Monster with 21 Faces" were personal favorites all of the tracks on the album had a little something for everyone. Fans of both new and old thrash/hardcore will surely enjoy listening to Municipal Wastes "The Fatal Feast: Waste in Space".
1.) Waste in Space
2.) Repossession
3.) New Dead Masters
4.) Unholy Abductor
5.) Idiot Check
6.) Covered in Sick/The Barfer
7.) You're Cut Off
8.) Authority Complex
9.) Standards and Practices
10.) Crushing Chest Wound

Alternative loans are credit-based loans borrowed through private lenders. Generally, borrowers with better credit histories receive better loan terms. You may borrow up to the WSU-established cost of your education, less other aid.
Alternative loans generally have higher interest rates and fewer repayment options than federal loans. To apply for federal grants and loans, complete the FAFSA.
Lenders that offer alternative/private student loans vary in the interest rates and terms available.
Be aware that some lenders will require payment while you are enrolled in school.
Other lenders will let you defer payment, but interest will accrue and be added to your balance.
You will owe more than you borrowed once you leave school.
You have the right to borrow from any lender. You should compare alternative loan lenders to determine which lender best meets your needs. Wayne State University has no financial interest in a student's choice of lender. You may use the ELM Select Loan Comparison Tool to compare lender terms, rates, and repayment options.
The ELM Select Loan Comparison Tool includes lenders who provided 10 or more loans to Wayne State University students for the 2016 calendar year. This list does not imply endorsement, is reviewed periodically and can be changed at any time.
Apply directly through your lender. The application process for alternative loans includes a credit check. Your lender is also required to provide you with disclosure statements detailing your interest rate and confirming your acceptance of the loan.
Once the loan is approved, your lender will contact Wayne State University to request loan certification. We can certify your loan only up to a set estimated cost of attendance.
After your loan has been certified, most lenders will then send the funds to WSU electronically, and the funds will be applied to your student tuition account. Any credit balance remaining will be refunded to you.
A few lenders will send the loan funds to Wayne State University via paper check. You must endorse the check before the funds can be applied to your student account. We will notify you if a check is ready for endorsement.
Cost of attendance: an estimate of tuition and fees, room and board, transportation, and other costs for the period of enrollment covered by the loan. You may obtain your cost of attendance at anytime in Academica.
Estimated financial assistance: all federal, state, institutional, private and other sources of aid. Your estimated financial assistance may be obtained at anytime in Academica. If the loan you are currently applying for has already been listed as an award, do not include it as current aid on the self-certification form.
The Self-Certification Form should be submitted directly to your lender, not the financial aid office.
Click My Award Information and then the "Award Overview" tab for the figures you will need.
If you did not apply for federal aid use the cost of attendance figures for your program.
Students pursuing a graduate or professional degree are encouraged to consider a Federal Direct Graduate PLUS loan.
Parents of undergraduates are encouraged to consider a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan.

MCAS Iwakuni not impacted by massive quake (updated: A report out of Iwakuni)
Flickr user keupit
A shot of MCAS Iwakuni, Japan
Updated March 14: A Marine Corps journalist out of a Japan has a direct report from Iwakuni on what's being done to help with the recovery effort after the quake.
The report is a bit technical, but it does give you a feel for what's going on there.
The humaintarian effort by the U.S. military has been named Tomodachi, which means "friends" in Japanese.
You can read the report here.
Updated March 12: The Department of Defense's Facebook page has posted some photos of U.S. crews in Singapore readying to assist the emergency efforts in Japan.
The photos show sailors assigned to the U.S. 7th Fleet command ship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) in Singapore.
You can take a look at the photos by clicking here. You don't need to have a Facebook account in order to view them.
1:30 update: Stars and Stripes has a nice report out of Japan on the impact of the quake on the U.S. military's presence there.
There are in fact some 86,000 U.S. servicemembers, civilian workers and related family in the Japan. As we said, and Stars and Stripes confirms, all are safe.
Give the Stars and Stripes report, which is much more indepth than what we've posted previously, a read here.
The Charlotte Oberver also has the first stateside report we've seen from Carolina residents worried about their friends and family members overseas. You can give that a read here.
Noon update: The Department of Defense has released an official statement that all military personnel stationed in Japan are accounted for. Additionally there has been no reported damage to military facilities.
We'll send you to The Associated Press' brief writeup here.
Additionally, the DOD's website has a post stating that U.S. military in the region are quickly assessing the situation and ramping up to assist in any way possible.
Read that post here.
Reported March 11: From what we hear MCAS Iwakuni, which is currently home to MCAS Beaufort's Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533 (The Hawks), was not impacted by the massive earthquake that hit Japan while most of us slept.
According to several Facebook posts made by people and groups associated with MCAS Iwakuni the base was not impacted and those stationed on it are safe.
A spokesman with MCAS Beaufort could not confirm that Iwakuni had not been impacted when contacted this morning.
As you can see from this map the base is a good distance southwest from the center of where the quake struck.
We'll keep you up to date with anything we hear coming out of Iwakuni, as we expect some of the Marines could become involved in the recovery efforts.

The study concerns the metal tube purchasing team within Volvo Group Truck Purchasing. Today, the metal tube team is trying to explore opportunities that can optimize the price. This study aims at formulating ideas that would optimize the part price by applying the concept of synergy. The effects of synergy are economies of scale, information and innovation. To achieve these effects four factors are considered and they are: performance measures, data management, total cost/benefit analysis and cross functional coordination and collaboration. Thus, study tries to apply these factors to generate opportunities to achieve synergy and thereby optimize part price. Furthermore, the study focuses on four different areas within Volvo Group to explore the potential benefits of synergy; that is synergy 1) between different business units and truck brands 2) within purchasing organization 3) between buyers, suppliers and sub-suppliers and 4) between buyers, suppliers and engineers. To understand the current situation within the organization extensive data analysis was made by using the data available on the company's database. Further, semi-structured interviews were performed to collect data. To identify the opportunities within four areas mentioned above, Synergy Management Process by Daum, P (2012) was utilized. After analyzing and examining the data collected appropriate suggestions and potential opportunities to maximize synergy for the metal tube purchasing team within GTP are made at the end of this study.

DPD Germany to amalgamate all former franchise divisions under one brand
By Helen Norman on	 January 16, 2017 Operations
DPD Germany has announced that it will establish a new corporate structure following the recent acquisition of its former shareholding partner DPD Zeitfracht.
From August 2017, all the franchisor's subsidiaries and corporate divisions will be amalgamated with DPD GeoPost under the new company name of DPD Deutschland. It will be the first time that DPD has formed a uniform corporate organization in Germany, which includes all operating units. The move was made possible by the acquisition of DPD Zeitfracht, the last remaining co-shareholder, in October 2016.
The result is that the franchise system under which DPD was established 40 years ago as Germany's first private parcel service, is now being merged into a single company.
Boris Winkelmann, CEO of DPD, said, "This is a further milestone in the history of DPD. We are tightening and modernizing our structure, which will increase the efficiency of our operational management. It also highlights our resolve not only to continue the dynamism of the last 40 years but also to increase the tempo and shape the future development of the parcel market with innovation leadership."
DPD was founded in 1976 as a joint venture by 18 leading German freight forwarders, but in 2001 La Poste subsidiary GeoPost became the majority owner of the company after requiring 83.32% of the shares.
With a depot workforce of 8,000 and 9,000 delivery personnel working at 77 locations and a shipping volume of 350 million parcels a year, DPD is Germany's second-largest parcel service. The company leads the market in shipping between business customers, and it occupies a rapidly growing third place in e-commerce driven parcel deliveries to private consignees.

Many are curious as to how the forthcoming Star Wars sequel The Last Jedi will send off Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia following her unexpected death shortly after filming had wrapped, but her co-star John Boyega has assured fans that it'll be "amazing".
Speaking to ABC News in the midst of press for his new film Detroit, Boyega said: "This movie, it sends her off in an amazing, amazing way. And she is still kept alive in this franchise. That's the beauty of it: She lives forever in a sense."
Boyega's comments indicate that the film may have been re-edited to give Fisher a proper goodbye of sorts, after Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy told Vanity Fair in May that The Last Jedi, otherwise known as Episode VIII, wasn't at all intended to be Leia's curtain call.
"She was having a blast," Kennedy said. "The minute she finished [shooting her scenes], she grabbed me and said, 'I'd better be at the forefront of IX!' Because Harrison [Ford] was front and center on VII, and Mark [Hamill] is front and center on VIII. She thought IX would be her movie. And it would have been."
Boyega also used the interview to express his sadness over Fisher's death, of whom he worked "closely" with on the forthcoming film, and recall hearing the news of her passing.
"It was a strange, strange feeling," he said. "I felt like everyone in the cast went silent for a bit after that."
Fisher had finished filming her scenes for The Last Jedi in late summer of last year. She died on 27 December after suffering from a medical emergency while on a flight from London to Los Angeles. She was subsequently kept in intensive care for four days on a ventilator.
Disney CEO Bob Iger had previously stated that they would not use CGI to resurrect Leia in the future, as they did with the late Peter Cushing in last year's Rogue One.
"In Rogue One, we created digitally a few characters, one an actor that had actually passed away but had been in an earlier Star Wars film," he said during a March talk at the Marshall School of Business. "We're not doing that with Carrie, although technology gives the ability to do so many different things today."

Having joined, he was amazed by how his views were largely unfounded and why so many in ethnic minority communities hold similar views. This now drives him to ensure the police are sensitive to Black, Asiana and Ethnic Minority needs, have a nuanced approach and truly police by consent when it comes to Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority communities.

It's hard when you work and have a family to find time for your writing. I struggle with it daily, but I've committed to doing at least something every day. The trick is spending a little bit of time on it.
I'll write for half and hour, then help my kids with something, then go back to writing for another half an hour. In total I did an hour of writing, or editing, or reviewing, or something. Ultimately what matters is that I spent the time to do it.
Just make sure to spend time doing other things as well. Family's important!

Hopkinton Businesses And Schools Forced To Close After Threats From Protesters To Burn The Town Down, Assault Teenagers On Monica Cannon-Grant's Facebook Page
The Town of Hopkinton closed its schools early today and most businesses in town have shut down due to threats related to Monica Cannon-Grant's "protest" over the death of Mikayla Miller. These threats are being issued on Monica Cannon-Grant's Facebook page for her fraudulent "non profit" Violence in Boston. Here are some of them.
"It looks like Hopkinton is racist, we can easily fix that."
"I wouldn't be mad if that city burned to the ground and every sentient bird shit in it."
Followed by an image of cars being lit on fire.
I don't know Kyle Kaucion's real name, but he appears to be from Boston, and is issuing threats to "fix" Hopkinton of its racism.
His anger, hatred, and lust for violence is being fueled by Monica Cannon-Grant's lie that Mikayla Miller was lynched by a group of 5 teenagers. All 5 of these teens have alibis, including two who were seen on video at a Wendy's in Sturbridge at the time Mikayla died. Nevertheless, Monica uses people like this to incite violence while being championed by the media as a civil rights leader. Here she is threatening to organize "45,000 mother f***ers to be on y'all's front lawn," before saying "f*** the police, f*** the police, f*** the police, f*** the police."
Meet Monica Cannon Grant. @marty_walsh is giving her a "Social Impact Center" to spread her infectious hatred for @bostonpolice. @Turtleboytweets @BostonPatrolmen @MassStatePolice @bluelivesmtr @bluelives007 @BluelineCovfefe pic.twitter.com/7CCI0UsA3B
— Stop Monica & Mayor Walsh's Anti Police Plans (@WalshPlans) February 13, 2020
When the leaders act like this, what do you think the followers will do?
Kathleen Bryan form Jamaica Plain will also be coming to Hopkinton and wants to see it burn. Here is what she thinks of police:
"The only good pig is a dead pig."
Monica Cannon-Grant is fostering and inciting this violence on her page.
This is Ariel Charles from Boston.
He is a grown man who says he wants to go to Hopkinton and "start snuffing little 16 year olds in the face right now."
He also had a tweet deleted in which he threatened to murder members of the Hopkinton Police Department, then posted a reply saying, "I SAID WHAT I SAID!" and "Count your days."
That's obviously disturbing. Yet Senate President Karen Spilka is showing up to speak at the rally and support these people, fueled by Monica Cannon-Grant's bigotry, racism, and lust for violence.

Why is Karen Spilka attending this? This is not a vigil to mourn the death of a child who felt so helpless that she tied a belt around her neck, tied the other end to a small tree, and choked the life out of herself. This is not a rally to raise awareness for mental health issues. This is a protest against DA Marian Ryan's Office, the Hopkinton Police Department, and the town of Hopkinton itself for allegedly covering up a lynching. Monica doesn't "trust" any of them because their investigation has proven that Mikayla wasn't murdered, and she wants them replaced by the FBI or an "independent" investigator, whatever that means.
Does Karen Spilka not support Marian Ryan? Does she think that Marian Ryan is covering this up? Because that is what the people she is there to support are alleging. And she is helping to legitimize this and pour fuel on the fire.

The Silkman House is located at 2006 Main Ave., Scranton, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Even though it is popularly known as the Providence Branch of the Scranton Public Library, it is currently used as the technical services department of the Lackawanna County Library System and is no longer open to the public.

History
Aaron Burr Silkman constructed the home from trees and wood that originally stood on the property in 1840. As it is still the original structure with only minor renovations, it is considered one of the oldest buildings in the city of Scranton.

Aaron Burr Silkman was descended from John Silkman who arrived from Germany in the 1700s. He would serve in the Revolutionary War. His son, Daniel, would marry Joanna Brundage. She was a descendant of John Winthrop, one of the founding members of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Daniel's grandchildren, William and Mary, would be some of the first people to live in the Silkman House. Aaron Burr Silkman gave the house to them six years after its construction in 1849. In return Aaron received a farm in Taylor, Pennsylvania. He would live in Scranton for a time before dying in Vineland, New Jersey in 1895.

William and Mary Silkman would raise their family, including a pet parrot, in the house. During renovations items such as hoop skirts, rawhide trunks, handmade barrels, hats, canning supplies, and other family items were discovered. Some of the items, such as an old stove, are still in the house today. The last Silkman to live in the household was Augusta Silkman who passed away in 1937. After her death, the property was sold by her heirs to a group of citizens to use the building as a library and cultural center.

On November 1, 1938, the Silkman House was completely restored and set up for use as a branch of the Scranton Public Library. During the ceremonies, remarks were made by Thomas F. Kennedy who represented the Works Progress Administration, Harold A Wooster who was the chief librarian of the Scranton Public Library, and Mayor Fred J. Heuster. It also included a dedication ceremony for the Walter W. Winton Jr. Fountain located inside of the building, and a historical exhibition located on the second floor.

As the a branch of the Scranton Public Library, the Silkman House served the Providence neighborhood of the city of Scranton. It existed until December 2005, when it was closed due to low circulation numbers. At this point the Lackawanna River Corridor Association, an environmental education organization, expanded into the first floor of the building. They had been operating out of the second floor of the Silkman House since 1996 with the Providence Branch Library operating out of the first floor.

On November 10, 2009, the Scranton City Council announced a plan to create the Scranton Public Library Authority that would obtain ownership of the Albright Memorial Library, Green Ridge Branch, and the Silkman House from the city of Scranton. On December 15, 2009, this ordinance would be passed by Scranton City Council by a vote of 3–2 after a public hearing.

The Silkman House began operating as the Tech Services department of the Lackawanna County Library System. It is where books, magazines, DVDs, audiobooks, board games, and more are processed and cataloged for each library in the county. Once this happens, the books are then sent to the libraries of the Lackawanna County Library System to be enjoyed by patrons.

Building Information
The Silkman House was considered an example of true colonial design in the United States, and blueprints of it are located in the National Archives in Washington D. C. Built in 1840, the wooden house is a -story, rectangular frame building in the Neo-Greek Revival style. Originally, the house was surrounded by a wrought iron fence with a grape design. Other exterior features included white painted wooden siding. The columns of the front portico are square rather than the traditional tapered round columns. The interior of the two-story house includes a basement where the kitchen, dining room, and vegetable storage rooms were originally located. The first floor contained living quarters, a pantry, storage areas, and a bedroom, and the second story has the remaining bedrooms and storage areas. Later additions to the home included a nook on the second story and a sun porch.

In 1936, the house was surveyed as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey. As part of this process photographs and floor plans were created. In 1938, renovations funded by the Works Progress Administration with help from consulting architect, Searle H. VonStorch, were completed. The building to opened as the Providence Branch of the Scranton Public Library complete with library stacks and an exhibit space on the second floor in 1938. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

China Resources Land ties up with Blackstone
Hong Kong-listed developer China Resources Land has partnered Blackstone to develop a 6.45 million-square-foot mass housing development near Shanghai that could cost $1.8bn.
Jonathan Brasse
The Blackstone Group is set to greatly increase its exposure to Chinese real estate following the formation of a joint venture with one of the country's biggest developers.
Sister publication PERE has exclusively revealed that Hong Kong-listed China Resources Land and Blackstone, the world's largest private equity real estate firm by equity raised, have teamed up to develop a 6.45 million-square-foot middle-class housing development in Nantong, a city near the mouth of the Yangtze River and close to Shanghai.
The land is understood to have cost the partners approximately RMB7.5 billion (€920 million; $1.2 billion) of equity, and the multiple-phase project could cost as much as RMB11.5 billion in total when completely developed.
The first homes are expected to be offered for sale this year, and the development is slated to run over five years. The project, also including a 1.5 million-square-foot shopping mall, is expected to lead to further development collaborations between the two firms.
Blackstone is expected to put up 45 percent of the capital required – more than double the amount of equity the firm has invested in Chinese real estate since it first entered the market with the purchase of the Channel 1 shopping centre in Shanghai for RMB1.1 billion in 2008. China Resources Land will account for the other 55 percent.
Blackstone's portion of the equity is to come from its latest global opportunity fund, Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII, which closed last year on $13.3 billion.
China Resources Land, which has a market capitalisation of HK$138.1 billion (€13.6 billion; $17.8 billion), has become one of China's biggest developers of mass housing since its founding in 1994. According to its 2011 annual report published last year, the firm was contracted to sell 32 million square feet of residential property for RMB36 billion, reflecting a 61 percent increase compared with that of 2010.
Blackstone declined to comment about the deal but, according to PERE sources, the joint venture is part of Blackstone's efforts to ramp up its investing activities in China, particularly in mass housing development, which had been hit by various market cooling measures by the government in recent years.
The venture is also part of a strategy by Blackstone to increase its stable of development partners in China. The firm previously had partnered with another Hong Kong-listed developer, Great Eagle Holdings, for the development of high-end residential in Dalian, another port city in China, in 2010. The firm also is expected to rubberstamp a further joint venture with a logistics developer for the development of a number of industrial properties over the coming weeks.
Seperately, late last year, Blackstone agreed to the purchase of the Huamin Imperial Tower, a 530,000-square-foot office in Shanghai, from HuaMin Group, for approximately RMB2.7 billion.

City announces parking education campaign, moratorium on some tickets
Jamie Swinnerton
Jamie Swinnerton | May 20, 2014 | 8:24am
This week, Denver is giving you a five-day break from certain parking violations. Yesterday the Denver Department of Public Works launched a five-day, city-wide education campaign that aims to lower the number of tickets given for non-posted violations -- by letting residents know what those violations are.
DPW estimates that between 400 and 500 parking tickets are issued every week for non-posted ordinances; those add up to $10,000 to $12,000 a week in general fund revenue.

Through Friday, May 23, drivers violating a non-posted parking ordinance will be given a warning instead of a citation. Along with the warning, they'll also receive a reference guide listing all common non-posted ordinances and a general description of each.
The timing of the campaign was no coincidence -- and it wasn't scheduled in response to recent reports about how much the city has ramped up its ticketing.
'We wanted to do it in conjunction with National Public Works Week. We thought that would be a good way to get the word out. That's a week where the people of Public Works are celebrated for the work they do, so we just wanted to tie it in with that," DPW spokeswoman Nancy Kuhn said at yesterday's launch.
"Our goal is volunteer compliance. We want people to know what the rules are and comply. We would rather them spend their money on a nice dinner out to eat, rather than spending it on a parking ticket," she added.
But this week's act of goodwill only goes so far; agents are still instructed to give out tickets for certain situations.
Tickets will still be given for all posted parking violations, including parking in tow-away zones and handicapped spaces. Expired meters, the most common ticket given in Denver, will also be enforced.
According to Tina Scardina, director of right-of-way enforcement and meter operations, expired meters account for 40 percent of the parking tickets issued every year in the city. License plate violations are the second most common.
"We're trying to push people toward knowing about ordinances, then be ticket-free," Kuhn said.
The reference guide being given to violators, along with information and descriptions of Denver parking laws, can be found at denvergov.org/parking.

Peter Wright (1603 – 19 May 1651) was an English Jesuit priest and martyr who has been beatified by the Roman Catholic Church.

Early life
Peter Wright was born in Slipton, Northamptonshire, one of twelve children. Peter was still young when his father died. He had to work in a country solicitor's office at Thrapston in his home area. After spending ten years with the solicitor he enlisted in the English army in the Low Countries in 1627 or 1628, but finding that he did not care for military life, he deserted after a month and went to Brabant.

Priesthood
Having drifted away from his faith in his youth, he visited the English Jesuits in Liège and asked to be reconciled to the Church. He then visited Ghent and for two years attended the college of the Jesuits. In 1629 he entered the Jesuit novitiate at Watten. After studying philosophy and then theology at Liège, he was ordained a priest there in 1639 and after a further period at Liège was sent to serve at the English College of St. Omer. Having no aptitude in supervising young boys, he was then sent to serve as chaplain to Colonel Sir Henry Gage's English regiment in the service of Spain, based near Ghent.

Arrest
When Gage returned to England in the spring of 1644 to aid King Charles I, Wright went with him, first to Oxford and then to the relief of Basing House, the seat of John Paulet, 5th Marquess of Winchester. He administered the sacraments to the dying Gage on 11 January 1645. After this Wright became the marquess's chaplain, first in Hampshire and later in the London house. Wright was seized there by a band of pursuivants who burst in on Candlemas day, 2 February 1650, as he was about to say Mass.

Trial
Committed to Newgate, he was brought to trial before Henry Rolle, Lord Chief Justice, sitting with justices Philip Jermyn and Richard Aske and others, at the Old Bailey on 14–16 May. Something of the atmosphere of the times should be clear when it is recalled that Charles I had been put on trial and subsequently been executed on 30 January 1649. The evidence at Wright's trial was provided by the informer Thomas Gage, apostate brother of the late Sir Henry and a renegade Dominican priest. Thomas Gage had met Wright in the years when he was a military chaplain and testified against him. Wright was condemned under the statute 27 Eliz., c. 2. for being a Catholic priest in England, and sentenced on Saturday 17 May to being hanged, drawn and quartered.

Execution
His execution at Tyburn, London on a hot Whit Monday, 19 May 1651, took place before over twenty thousand spectators, including a number of Jesuits in disguise, on hand to give their friend absolution. In the period of the trial and the days after his execution, Wright was if not popular, at least a respected figure in public opinion. The sheriff's officers also seem to have been relatively well disposed to him and he was allowed to hang until he was dead, being thus spared the agonies of being eviscerated alive. His friends were allowed to take his body away and later it was taken to the Jesuit college in Liege where it was buried.

Peter Wright was beatified by Pope Pius XI on 15 December 1929. His feast day is 19 May.
