Yes, Madam! was both her first starring role and one of the most influential action films of all time, acting as a big, bold announcement of an acting talent that can kick ass and act with the best of them. The 1985 classic has received a new Blu-ray release from Eureka Entertainment with an excellent new HD presentation sourced from a new 2K restoration, plus a great selection of supplements.

Story Review Storyline: Our Reviewer's Take
You needn't look far into the film's production credits to see why Yes, Madam! was so successful. Right behind the scenes was none other than Sammo Hung, the Hong Kong martial arts filmmaking master with deservedly, a reputation for not being a feminist's greatest ally. He was working with Dickson Poon, a co-owner of the newly minted D&B Films, to refresh the theatrical market with some new blood. Luckily for the audience, that new blood came in the form of Michelle Yeoh, the steely, fierce ballet dancer and model who impressed industry peons like Sammo Hung and skyrocketed to international stardom.
Yes, Madam! has had so many different titles over the years in different markets, although that's indicative of the many sly ways production companies like D&B Films could repackage and distribute their product. Somewhat surprisingly, those multiple titles didn't reflect that a ton of different cuts of the film were being cobbled for international release. The bewildering arrival of the girls-with-guns martial arts subgenre didn't need to soften or embolden its blows for different audiences, speaking even more to the power of Yeoh's prowess commanding attention across the globe.
Yeoh wasn't even the only martial arts legend to have her first starring role in Yes, Madam! Cynthia Rothrock, after being discovered by Golden Harvest in 1983, also injected new blood into the martial arts genre with her ass-kicking talents. The duo of Yeoh and Rothrock would continue to try to be emulated and copied by other filmmakers. Although Rothrock would return to the US for a string of efficient releases produced for the home video market, she remains a unique US-born talent that gained respect and notoriety in the Chinese film industry. A feat that not many can speak to, if any.
As for the plot, Yes, Madam! doesn't exactly have the story to support the two strong women at the center of everything. D&B Films famously asked to add in humor after seeing the first cut, and even the humor in the first cut was mostly gifted to the male characters somewhat undercutting the authority of the female leads. But what stands out even with those added scenes, what stands out is just how truly dumb, dopey and incapable many of these men are in the presence of women. Not exactly a feminist's dream action film, to be sure, but it sure looks and feels much less like the cloying efforts from Hollywood blockbusters as of late.
All in all, Yes, Madam! is a bewilderingly good time that only gets better with each viewing. The combination of the modern setting with kung fu may have been originated by Police Story, released in the same year as this film, but it certainly feels more groundbreaking here. Especially with Michelle Yeoh delivering the hits.
Vital Disc Stats: The Blu-rays
Yes, Madam! kicks and punches its way to Blu-ray with a single-disc (BD50) release that comes Region B locked. The disc is housed in a clear Elite case with reversible artwork showcasing art by Darren Wheeling, with the reverse sleeve showcasing original artwork. A 19-page booklet featuring new writing by James Oliver is also included as well. The case comes housed in a limited-edition slipcover featuring the same art by Darren Wheeling seen on the sleeve. The BD50 disc fires up to a standard menu screen with options to play the Hong Kong Version, International Export Version, or special features in one long list.
NOTE - Images have not been sourced from the disc, we haven't been able to pull images but when we can we'll circle back to update this review.

Cantonese LPCM 1.0
To be honest, I was a great deal nervous about this release since the new 2K restoration was performed by Fortune Star and not Eureka Entertainment themselves. Fortune Star used to release some upscaled SD masters on Blu-ray in the early 2010s, although their masters have greatly increased in quality since then. And this new 1080p AVC-encoded presentation is indicative of that growth, thankfully. This is a really nice and clean presentation, with film grain being a bit lighter than anticipated, although the levels change during optical effects and the title sequence.
The source is in very good condition with not much damage to note throughout. If you're wondering about the overall color grading on this one, rest assured knowing all the bold colors of Hong Kong in the mid-80s pops just enough. Flesh tones are nice and balanced, as are black levels. Pastels in particular stand out but don't overtake the picture. This is a massive upgrade over the 2011 Blu-ray from Hong Kong.
The International Export Version of Yes, Madam! is also included in this set and reportedly sourced from another 2K restoration. The quality is very much the same as the Theatrical Cut, although it does tend to look a bit softer in certain sequences.
There's a truly massive selection of audio options to choose from. The Theatrical Cut is gifted with three options to choose from: a Cantonese mono track from the theatrical mix, a Cantonese mono track from the home video mix and an English 5.1 surround track from the home video dub. All three tracks are remarkably clean, although I give the edge to the Cantonese theatrical mix for offering the most honest and full soundscape that the post-dubbed film is capable of. Yes, Madam! mostly dominates the mid-range and it's all delivered well here despite the limitations.
The International Export Version comes with an English LPCM mono track that's similarly clean and without damage.
Eureka Entertainment offers a great selection of supplements to choose from here, with both newly produced commentaries from martial arts experts and interviews with talent. The new interview with Cynthia Rothrock is very enjoyable, as she details breathlessly just how she broke into the Hong Kong film industry. The select-scene commentary from her is a terrific addition, as she's very good at breaking down each complicated move and the considerations for each.

As anyone who has been around kids can tell you, little ones change their minds frequently and with gusto when it comes to choosing a Halloween costume. Don't let this enthusiasm for wanting to be #allthethings deter you from assembling a homemade Halloween costume. After all, tackling an easy Halloween-themed craft project is part of the fun of the season.
Plus, these adorable DIY Halloween costumes will win over your little one and won't take you more than an afternoon to make. And the supplies you'll need to make one these costume ideas are inexpensive, if not already living in your craft stash! So ditch the store-bought costume this year and read on to learn how to make a diy costume that will be the talk of the Halloween party.
Make a Lion's headdress (and use some of that yarn you've been sitting on for years) by wrapping warm colors of yarn around a DVD case (or really, anything, you like that will give you uniformly sized strands of yarn.) Lay a 2-foot length of ribbon out on a table as you wrap various colors of yarn around the DVD case (or another item of your choosing). Use sharp scissors to cut along one side of the yarn-wrapped DVD case and gently lay the yarn pieces along the length of ribbon. Fill about 18 inches of the ribbon with cut yarn pieces. Make sure the color varies, and the amount of yarn pieces you use is consistent.
Place another piece of ribbon atop the first, sandwiching the 18-inches of yarn strips between the two ribbon pieces. Use pins to keep the top and bottom ribbon pieces in place, then use a sewing machine to sew the ribbon, yarn, ribbon sandwich together. Tie the yarn-less ribbon ends under your chin. Make two much smaller versions of the headdress for wrist cuffs.
Tails can quickly be made by finger knitting a thick cord that is long enough to wrap around the lion's midsection. Make a tassel from the same colors of yarn used in the headdress and wrist cuffs, and attach the tassel to one end of the tail, and wear over tan sweats, thermal underwear or tan shirts and shorts. Dress up the look with an eyeliner black nose and whiskers. The beauty of the ribbon tying headdress and wrist cuffs means that any sized person can wear them trick-or-treating.
Make an Olympic torch by piercing a paper bowl in its center with scissors. Widen the hole enough that the long tube from a paper towel roll into the bowl can be inserted into the hole snugly. Use a little Duct tape to secure the bowl to the roll. Stuff the roll with scrap tissue or plastic grocery bags to give the handle a bit of substance. Pinch the bottom of the roll and tape it closed. Then cover the rest of the roll and outer parts of the bowl in gold tape (or spray with goldl spray paint). Cut lengths of yellow, orange and red sheer ribbon and glue the ribbon into the bowl, leaving it piled high and as fluffy as you can make it look. Be sure too, that the ribbon "flames" fill the entire paper bowl.
For a crown of laurels that would make the ancient Greeks proud, gather one bundle of silk leaves, and craft wire in a neutral or similarly green color. Use pliers to split the bundle into two sections and with the stems overlapping, wire them together, as you bend them into a crown shape around your head. When you get to the leafy ends of your crown, sandwich a few dots of glue between the leaves from opposite sides of the crown. Use clothespins to hold the leaves in place as they dry. The glued leaves will "close the ring" on your leaf crown.
Make silver and gold medals by cutting large circles out of your paper bowl bottoms. Use hot glue to write a #1 and #2 on your paper circles. When the hot glue has dried, use the craft glue stick to coat the numbered side of your circle then gently place aluminum foil over the glued side, and use soft fingers to work the foil around the hardened hot glue numbers. Use the glue stick to cover the backside of the medals if you wish, and cover that in foil as well. For gold medals, carefully place sections of gold colored Duct tape over your #1 medal. Secure a long length of opaque red ribbon to the backside of each medal with Duct tape to make the medals wearable. Finish the costume with literally any sports equipment you own. This is an incredible and easy Halloween costume that will make your little girl or little boy feel like a true winner!
Want to take a photo of your kids in costume and not have to spend crazy money on photo equipment? Watch and learn with us for Build A DIY Home Studio.
Cut out a 3×3 foot squatty circle (technical term) out of orange felt. Use the first squatty circle to cut out an identical one. Ask your little one to lie on the circle so that you can see and mark where the head, arm and leg openings will need to go, then place pins in the sections in which you will sew the circles together. Use a sewing machine for a quick sew, then turn the circle inside out and check for fit. Stitches can be ripped out if head or leg holes need to be enlarged. Cut a Jack-O-Lantern's mouth and eyes from regular felt and adhere with fabric glue, or use adhesive felt when cutting out the face shapes. Top the outfit off (quite literally) with an orange beanie or red hat. Use hot glue to add a silk leaf to a barrette and clip it to the beanie, or skip the beanie, and wear leafy barrettes in your stem, er, um, hair. If trick-or-treater night temps are chilly, wear orange long sleeves and jammie bottoms or sweats under the pumpkin costume.
Make a quick and easy costume by folding a 1-1.5 yard piece of burlap in half so that it resembles a long (and scratchy) sleeping bag. Use needle and embroidery floss to quickly stitch up the open side of your sack. Leave an arm opening as you sew. You will cut a second arm hole into the other side of the sack. Turn the sack inside out so that the seam stitches are inside. Bunch the top, outer corners of your sack, and secure them with a little hand stitching. Leave a wide opening for your head to fit through the top of the sack.
Then, use instant Tacky glue to cover the entire potato with eyes. Googly eyes! (Because potatoes are covered in eyes, get it?!) When the Tacky glue has dried, I recommend turning the potato dress inside out again, and securing the eyes from behind with hot glue. Since the burlap has such a wide weave, the hot glue will bond to the dry Tacky glue and you won't leave a trail of eyes behind you all night.
This Halloween costume idea is also a great getup for introverted parents. Just plant yourself on the couch and wait for Halloween to end, while your friends celebrate around you.

Civil Law.
After establishing Canberra's largest specialist criminal law firm, pressure mounted for us to extend our practice into civil law.
After receiving countless enquiries from clients requesting us to represent them in civil matters, we answered the call. The result has been the establishment of Canberra's leading boutique civil law practice with a well-earned reputation for excellence, displaying the same commitment, rigour and enthusiasm for justice of our much-celebrated criminal law arm.
Coming freshly to civil law, our approach to civil matters is based on fearless and dedicated representation. We earned our stripes in law pursuing cases against the might of the various government authorities, and now you can engage the same level of professionalism to work for you, with a specialist civil team handling personal injury compensation, defamation, commercial law and civil disputes.
A dedicated civil team by your side
Over the past few years, we've sharpened our swords and strengthened our shields (both are needed in civil law) by recruiting the best minds in the areas our clients demand.
The only thing that's indisputable is our credentials.
Aulich civil lawyers are some of the best in the field, which means that we're more aware than most of how time consuming cases can be. You can take comfort in knowing we understand the imperative of resolving disputes with the greatest efficiency, through mediation or arbitration or skilled negotiation; and, failing that, winning for our clients in a timely manner.
Whether we act for you or your company as defendant or plaintiff, we are bound by the duty and drive of our firm to provide only the most dedicated and thorough legal assistance for you.
What is a civil dispute?
The term refers to disputes or contests between two or more parties – individuals, groups of individuals or companies. It's differentiated from a criminal matter in that it does not involve a prosecution by the authorities of a State or Territory.
The variety of civil disputes is infinite, ranging from the negligence of a doctor, consumer claims, injuries suffered in motor vehicle accidents, suits for defamation, other personal injuries, breach-of-contract disputes and building disputes. That list is far from complete!
We act for both defendants and plaintiffs. Whichever side of the proceedings they're on, our clients receive only the most professional, dedicated and thorough legal advice, assistance and advocacy. This sees us regularly taking on government bodies and insurance companies. If you'd like more information on our services, please get in touch for an obligation-free consultation.
When you come to see us, you'll find that at Aulich the corridors of legal knowledge aren't lined with cold marble. We're warm, and we'll fight for you like you are family. Unlike the old guard of Canberra's stuffiest law firms, we won't charge for hidden extras.
Our team take the time to "get" you and your business. If you want practical and to-the-point advice to achieve your business goals or to have us with you in a dispute likely to involve the Court, then we're the firm for you. We've acted for families, public and private companies, partnerships, joint ventures, not-for-profit organisations and national and local businesses and can help with:
Corporate structuring and restructuring
Shareholder's Agreements, Partnership Agreements, Joint Venture Agreements, Trust and Unitholder Agreements and Trusts
Business sales and purchases including due diligence
Drafting and negotiating contracts
Competition and Consumer protection law
Debt is a fact of life in contemporary commerce.
When it comes to debt recovery, wisdom demands that clients choose a team that can quickly and efficiently force payment. We work closely with clients to achieve timely and favourable results in debt recovery against individuals and corporations.
Over the years we have developed a streamlined and established process of getting money for clients who are owed it. If you have a debt you would like recovered, get in touch. Choosing us won't just make you dollars, it makes a lot of sense.
There's more and more of it about! Libel and slander (defamation) is a very complicated area of law and it's essential to deal with specialists, whether you are on the attack, or defending what you published.
Even "publication" is a tricky concept that can't be left to novices with so much – reputation and damages – at stake. As leading defamation lawyers in Canberra (Ben Aulich contributes commentary on the op-ed pages of the Canberra Times), we have access to the best barristers in Sydney and across the country including Queens Counsel and other senior barristers.
If you believe your reputation has been harmed in some way due to hurtful or damaging published content, then you have a potential case to receive compensation. The same applies if you've been responsible for any form of communication that your opponent consider to be actionable for damages.
We're not talking only about the mass media: today, most defamation is being published on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Few people using those social media appreciate the significance of what they're doing – even with a negative review of a local business, or their dentist.
We provide experienced defamation lawyers who will work closely by your side every step of the way to ensure you receive the result you're entitled to. Our lawyers can help repair damage to your reputation by having a party retract a harmful statement and issue an apology in its wake.
Having represented many clients in high profile defamation cases, we know what it takes to win these matters.
Alternatively, if you have been accused of making a defamatory statement, you should seek legal advice immediately as there may be repercussions for not responding appropriately and quickly.
The classical definition is: any statement that tends to lower a person in the opinion of reasonable people.
Plaintiffs sue for damages as compensation for damage done to their reputations caused by material in any form of medium – from graffiti scrawled on a wall, through social media, to national television current affairs programs. The legal rules are the same – and they're very, very technical.
But there are defences, ever more arcane – and our consultant QC always lectures his clients that there's really only one defence you can always count on: truth!
Defamation cases are usually settled, and our experience in mediation assures our clients of the best possible outcomes, short of a full-blown trial.
Social media counts
With the enormous popularity of social media platforms, it's possible to claim compensation for damaging comments posted on the internet, using websites such as Twitter or Facebook.
Our team of defamation lawyers can help clarify whether an online post is defamatory and offer valuable advice. There are some things to consider determining whether you should commence a claim for defamation, or seek the best possible compromise if you've acted unwisely in posting an attack.
Even if an individual was not responsible for creating the harmful post they can still be held accountable if they share the content. Although cases involving the Internet are still relatively new, the same legal principles of defamation are applicable to these types of publications. Defaming an individual is not limited to print and can be acted upon whether through photos, blog posts or otherwise. There have been plenty of cases about theatrical skits and cartoons.
The bottom line is that free speech isn't as free as most people believe.
Employment law is strewn with hazards.
Given this landscape, practical and strategic advice is essential. We work alongside our clients to implement proper workplace practices to prevent potential claims arising from unsafe systems. For those employers and employees where a claim is unavoidable, we can help to resolve the situation quickly, discreetly and efficiently. We're well versed in the following areas:
Adverse action claims
Bullying, harassment and discrimination matters
Employment contracts and policies
We offer thorough and diligent estate planning services. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a kilogram of cure.
Proper estate planning lays the foundation for preserving your wealth values and wishes. Our solicitors plan meticulously to assist you in managing everything life has to throw at you – from complex relationships and blended families to longevity, diminished capacity and disability.
A full suite of services is available, including fixed fee rates for:
Testamentary trust wills
Superannuation binding death benefit nominations
Self-managed superannuation nominations
Enduring powers of attorney
Guardianship guidelines
We can guide you through this complicated and technical area.
Disputes between directors or shareholders within a company or between a company and creditors – including the Australian Tax Office (ATO) – are usually very stressful for those involved. There are often strict timeframes, which parties must act before significant consequences are imposed, such as winding up of a company or being declared a bankrupt.
If you're involved in a corporate dispute or you or your company are being pursued by the ATO or other creditors, the sooner you find out what your rights, obligations and options are, the better you can manage.
If you are trying to recover a debt owed to you, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth) provide options for creditors to force debtors to come to the table or face insolvency.
A number of our solicitors sit on not-for-profit boards and committees giving them a unique understanding of issues in this area.
Combined with our expertise in handling commercial and corporate matters, we have experienced lawyers experienced in advising not-for-profit organisations.
We have a genuine concern for these altruistic organisations and our team is eager to help you meet your objectives and to ensure that legal and compliance issues are not too burdensome.
We deal with:
HR and employment
Board governance and compliance
Restructure and incorporation
Taxation advice including applications for tax exemptions or deductible gift recipient status
Policy advice or preparation of policies such as workplace policies, member protection, child protection and child protection
Investigations into breaches of policies
Usually when a person dies, they leave behind a will specifying what is to happen with their assets.
In many cases, probate needs to be obtained from the Supreme Court before anything can be done with the estate. In such matters, our solicitors compassionately and efficiently guide clients through the process.
We handle:
Application for letters of administration
But sometimes things are not so straightforward – especially where a family member or dependant feels they have been excluded or not properly provided for, or the circumstances surrounding the will are dubious. This may be because the will-maker's mental capacity is questionable or there may have been undue influence of others. We can help in the following areas:
Family provision applications
Reviewing a suspicious will
It is important to know strict time limits apply in this area of law so you should seek legal advice from us as soon as possible so we can take action to look after your interests.
From commercial leases right through to large-scale development contracts, our reputation is built on sound advice to public and private clients.
They include government, developers, landlords, tenants, owners' corporations and strata managers, commercial and residential property buyers and sellers.
Our services extend to:
Commercial and retail leases including preparing leases for landlords or negotiating for tenants, agreements for lease, surrender of leases and lease assignments
Building contract advice
Advice on retirement village contracts
Advice on loan, mortgage and guarantee documents
Planning and regulatory advice including interpretation of Crown Leases, variation of Crown Leases and other planning and development requirements
The Civil Law team – locked and loaded
Each member of the our civil law team has been individually and carefully chosen. Each solicitor packs their own unique brand of firepower to achieve one outcome: winning.
Less More about Erin
Community-minded, sports mad dynamo Erin gives all new meaning to the term 'all rounder'. After completing a double degree of a Bachelor of Applied Science (Sports Administration) and a Bachelor of Laws followed by a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice at ANU, she applied her athletic sense of justice at the Australia Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
She then moved over to the ACT Government followed by the ACT Academy of Sport, until the siren call of the legal profession proved too strong. After all, Erin did tell her year two teacher that she wanted to be a lawyer when she grew up. We chose Erin to be part of the battle ranks at Aulich due to her unrivalled knowledge of each and every commercial area, as well as her thorough understanding of the issues facing sporting and government bodies on all levels.
Never one to rest on her laurels, Erin is the proud holder of various board and not-for-profit section appointments such as being the Chair of Touch Football ACT as well as the Chair of the Touch Football ACT Judiciary and has, until recently, also been a Director on the Board of Netball ACT. She also likes to whip the Aulich team into shape at our weekly gym session, and has been known to spearhead our involvement in charitable sporting events.
Less More about Rachael
An Arts/Law graduate from Sydney University, Rachael is currently completing her studies for a Masters of Law at the Australian National University.
Commencing her legal career in a boutique Sydney law firm specialising in intellectual property, advertising and marketing law, she then took a graduate position at the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, working as a specialist in governance and policy areas, before moving to the Attorney-General's Department. Rachael was handpicked to join our team because of her ready familiarity with the otherwise labyrinthine processes of government.
With us, Rachael's skills are applied across a range of practice areas, including commercial and contractual disputes, employment, and estate planning.
Coming from a creative family, Rachael broke the mould 'to rebel and do something boring'. She now appreciates that working with us is anything but boring.
A keen contributor to the culture at our firm, Rachael insists that she never believed she would work at a law firm where people laugh so much.
Less More about Stefan
Stefan is a graduate of the University of Canberra and a recipient of the coveted Dean's Excellence Award.
Prior to joining the Aulich team, Stefan worked in the trade union movement as a legal officer for United Voice. This is where Aulich came across Stefan, when he was on the other side of a matter. We were pretty impressed with his knowledge, skill and dogged approach to litigation and we knew he'd fit in extremely well here at Aulich. Stefan has a keen interest and extensive experience in industrial law and workplace health and safety.
Stefan also has a decade's worth of experience as a chef and baker, before he found his true calling and joined the law.
When Stefan isn't whipping up a batch of his world-famous Friands for his co-workers, he blows off steam in the boxing ring and enjoys spending his time with his lovely wife and two beautiful kids.
Less More about Caitlin
Caitlin started her legal career in Melbourne before moving to complete her studies in Canberra and working at another Canberra firm before joining Aulich. Since starting here as a paralegal and while finishing her Bachelor of Laws degree at the University of Canberra, she has been an integral part of the Aulich Civil Law team. Like her mentor, Erin Taylor, she is passionate about litigation and building and construction law and is well and truly on the pathway to become a leading litigator.
What Caity also has in common with Erin is her sports team, Carlton. You'll often find the two of them debriefing over a loss while making a tea on a Monday morning. It's safe to say, at the moment they both drink lots of tea. Speaking of AFL, Caity also plays for the Queanbeyan Tigers where she was lucky enough to snap her collarbone clean in half last year. That injury hasn't frightened her off her game and it is a perfect example of her resilience and motivation. Two qualities that also make an excellent lawyer.

Thanks for making the 2015 Center of the Universe Festival so great!
Wow. We are just waking up after an amazing weekend of music here at the Center of the Universe Festival. The Red Bull after party went laaaate. We have no idea what time it is.
We need multiple cheeseburgers. With bacon. Stat.
We don't know where to begin.
The crowds were amazing. Thank you to everyone who attended. We got so many people telling us how much fun they had. We got so many bands telling us how much they love playing here because of you guys and gals. Tulsa music fans rule. Seriously. Some of the bands who had never been to Tulsa before said they will be coming back soon to play for you guys because it was one of the best gigs they had ever had. They loved you as much as you loved them!
Speaking of, those bands were redonkulous. From our headliners to the club venue bands, they brought the house down. And while we were watching one there were three or seven others we wanted to see. We need a machine where we can be in multiple places at once. C'mon science people, do it! There were so many different kinds of music. So many different kinds of bands. It was amazing to walk from one venue to one next door and have the scene change completely.
The club venues and other Brady Arts District businesses and residents were great! We can't thank them enough for letting us unleash our chaos all over them. They were so coool (the extra "o" is for being extra cool) with whatever we threw at them. The main stages went off without a hitch. Those crews did a great job.
The vendors were great. Thank you to all those vendors who put their faith in us! Without our sponsors it NEVER would have happened. They have helped us create a festival we can all be proud of right in the middle of Tulsa. They started as business partners and have become our friends.
Our volunteers braved two straight days of some scorching heat and 16+ hour days. Those guys and gals were priceless. We want to hug each and every one of them – but only after they take a shower. If they smell as bad as we do, they might need to take two.
We are grateful for everyone's help in putting the Center of the Universe Festival on this weekend. We cannot begin to describe how many smiles we saw and laughter we heard. It speaks to us, as lovers of music and mischief, that it went off so well. We wish we could capture that festival feeling in a bottle. It would solve a lot of the world's problems. But until they do, we just have to keep planning more. Thank you, again, for everyone's help. Now, where is my car and where is the closest cheeseburger stand. Ugh. Great festing everyone!
Center of the Universe Festival taking one year to plan and rally community support. Today, we come to you with an important announcement regarding …
Thanks for making the 2015 Center of the Universe Festival so great! Wow. We are just waking up after an amazing weekend …

I enjoy traveling and living abroad and plan to see as much of the world as I can. I like nerdy TV shows like Chuck, Doctor Who, Criminal Minds, and Blue Planet. I'm a pretty big foodie and have been having fun exploring new foods since I got here; I love how easy it is to get good wine. I've also been enjoying all the hiking trails in Germany; it's like one big national park with neighborhoods in it! A few of my favorite things are Thai food, high heels, and oversized plushy sofas.
If you too enjoy living life as one big adventure, and if you think we'd be good friends, send me a message!
I'd really like to just find someone who can be my best friend. I want someone who can go skydiving with me ( I've actually never been, but would really like to ), and who also likes to go wine tasting or get dressed up and go dancing. I'd like like to be with somebody who is happy with doner and Netflix, but who would also enjoy going on adventures.

"Afflicted" with fertility?
What's the biggest threat to the world's prosperity and stability over the medium haul—say, between 2020 and 2050? The proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction? A continuing economic recession? Jihadism running amok? The Detroit Lions ushering in the Apocalypse by winning an NFL championship? (Just kidding on the last…)
Guess again.
According to Neil Howe and Richard Jackson, two researchers at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies, the primary destabilizer of world affairs in the mid-decades of the 21st century will be demographics—meaning, primarily, too few people throughout too much of the developed and developing world. Some numbers-crunching helps make the case:
—In the 1980s, the median age was 34 in western Europe and 35 in Japan. Absent an unanticipated and dramatic change in birth rates, the median age in western Europe in 2020 will be 47, and in Japan, 52.
—In the 2020s, half the adult populations of Italy, Spain, and Japan will be above the official retirement age.
—By 2030, thanks to several generations of cratering birth rates and the resulting demand for immigrant labor to fill low-wage jobs, the number of Muslims will double in France and triple in Germany. Amsterdam, Birmingham, Cologne, and Marseilles will likely be majority-Muslim cities, twenty years from now.
—China, the fair-haired boy of establishment international affairs analysts, is heading for serious trouble, thanks to its draconian one-child policy and communism's destruction of traditional Chinese culture. By 2030, China will be an older country than the U.S.. As Howe and Jackson write, "Imagine [Chinese] workforce growth slowing to zero while tens of millions of elders sink into indigence without pensions, without health care, and without children to support them. China could careen toward social collapse—or, in reaction, toward an authoritarian clampdown."
—Vladimir Putin's plans for a new Russian imperium may run aground, because Russia will almost certainly be in demographic free fall by 2050, if not sooner. With what demographers call "lowest-low"birth-rates, and confronting colossal public health problems related to alcohol abuse and environmental degradation, Russia is a mess. Today, the average Russian man's life expectancy is 59, which is sixteen years less than his American counterpart (and somewhat less than the life-expectancy of those in his grandfather's generation who survived Stalin and Hitler). Forty years out, Russia will have fallen in the world population tables from fourth place (in 1950) to twentieth place.
—And while all this is going on, western Europe will be in continuing social, economic, and political crisis, thanks to too few tax-paying workers trying to support the womb-to-tomb Euro-welfare state—which has already displaced private-sector health care and pension options while suppressing the habits necessary to sustain them.
Ever since the 1968 publication of Paul Ehrlich's intellectually fraudulent bestseller, The Population Bomb, enlightened opinion has held that "overpopulation" is the problem. It isn't, and it never was. Now, thanks in part to the triumph of a contraceptive mentality in societies that have lost any religious sense of obligation toward the future, the grim truth is revealing itself: the problem is too few people. Of course, there was always something instinctively counterintuitive about the anti-natalist cast of mind, which thinks of a newborn calf as a "resource" or an "asset" and a newborn child as a "burden" or "problem." Now that implausibility turns out to have, not only the gravest moral consequences, but the most severe economic, social, and political results.
Yet the mythology of overpopulation is so deeply embedded in American elite opinion that even realistic observers like Howe and Jackson, after looking into the demographic abyss, can still write that contemporary sub-Saharan Africa is "afflicted" with "the world's highest fertility rates." No, sub-Saharan Africa is "afflicted" with vast governmental corruption and ineptitude, ethnic and tribal madnesses, jihadism, and diseases ancient and modern. But it is not "afflicted" with people.
Ideas have consequences, for good or ill. The false idea of "overpopulation" has helped make it very likely that our children and grandchildren will live in a far less stable world than ours – which has not exactly been placid.

Being the second child, I would argue is the best spot for a child to be in. Being a second child myself, I have had a lifetime of experience to justify this. As the second child, you have all the perks of the oldest child without being referred to as the experiment, or given the responsibility of being the example. You learn from your older sibling how to best please or approach your parents, avoiding a lot of groundings your older sibling had to go through. Being the second is the best, only if you're not the youngest. The youngest gets stuck with the stereotypes of being spoiled or high maintenance. They are titled the baby of the family even when they are a grown adult. As the second child you can exceed the standard set by the oldest or create a new identity for yourself.
. As the second child you also have the experience of compromising with others both older and younger than you. You still get that leadership opportunity, but don't have to wonder what would it be like if I had an older sibling? As a girl, you get free clothes through hand-me-downs, and someone to help you with dating advice. Depending on the age gap, you get to have a extra chauffeur to drive you places, except this one plays good music loud and makes the car ride fun. Because I had a sibling only a few years older then me I felt like I got a glimpse into the next stage of my life whether it was: middle school, high school, or college before it actually happened. Nothing comes second to being the second.

I've been watching your cabinet appointments. You have been choosing people who have shown that they are chosen to manage, with the exception of a large number of generals.
I want to see United States stop joining wars throughout the world. Besides, if you appoint me as secretary of defense, I can save the government billions and billions of dollars freeing money for you to give to your favorite corporations. My work would eventually reduce the worldwide anger regarding the country's warlike posture. In doing so, I would defend the lives of many people who might follow the experience of the soldiers soon already gone to places like Afghanistan and Iraq. Please call me as soon as possible. Think about it. My plan would lower your taxes.
here's my vote backing your appointment.
Dr. Perelman you've got my vote for this and for the best two classes I took in college, intro to Econ thought and Marx Econ Theory, in six years of college. Now I'm a solar contractor, a very skeptical one.

Having trouble deciding if some money is yours? Money expert Ryan Neeswahl is here to help in our regular column.
Dear Ryan: I have just started work at a major insurance company. At the end of my first two-week stint, I was handed a check for several thousand dollars. The check looked official, and had the company's logo. Is this really my money? I'm worried.
Ryan says… Relax, Barbara. This sum is called a salary, and it is paid by some companies to their employees in exchange for work. It is definitely Your Money.
Dear Ryan: Last week, I went into a bank, pointed a gun at the teller, and told her I would shoot unless I received $50,000 in cash. But actually it was a trick. It would have been impossible for me to shoot anyone, because the gun wasn't even loaded. The way I see it, the bank made an error in giving me the money, and I should be allowed to keep it. Am I right?
Ryan says… This kind of sloppy service is all too typical from bank tellers these days. The teller should have demanded proof that your weapon was loaded, and her failure to do so means that you have a good claim on the cash. But I'm afraid you will not be legally allowed to keep the money unless you have the bank's permission. Just go back to the bank and talk to the manager about your funny joke and your bad experience with the teller. If you're lucky, he should let you keep the money as compensation. Be sure to have him sign an E442 Righteous Theft form before you leave. At that point, it will be Your Money..
Dear Ryan: I have so much money that my wallet is bursting with it. It was given to me as a birthday present by an uncle who has since died. The notes are black, with five rounded extensions. My cousins say that because my uncle was their father, and they are closer relations, that the money does not belong to me. Is it My Money?
Ryan says… Your cousins are wrong. It is yours, but it sounds to me as if it's not technically money. I think what you have there is a pair of leather gloves. So, no, I'm afraid it is not Your Money.
Dear Ryan: Yesterday, while looking through my purse, I discovered a $10 bill. I don't remember putting it there. Is it my money, or should I turn it into the police.
Ryan says… Of course, it's possible that you placed the money there at some point in the past and forgot, but is this likely? The money may have been dropped by a small child and been carried by the wind into your purse. It might have been placed there by the previous owner of the purse for times of desperate need. Or it might also have been placed by antipickpockets as part of a complex money laundering scheme. I know what I would do, but you must follow your conscience on this one.
Do you have questions about whether a sum of is yours? Send your question to Ryan, along with the money if you wish, and he will answer them. All submissions remain the property of Your Money.

Blake Lewis: Be It Love Or Torture, Please Don't Stop
Since I don't like to review things without truly digesting them first, I'm trying to take my time with the plethora of new albums currently on the market. Of course, this doesn't bode well for my column, but given this job climate, beggars can't be choosers, and my real life must take precedence over my virtual one (sadly). With that said, I hope to complete more of these sort-of album reviews throughout the week given this week I actually have semi-normal hours and am not turning nocturnal like I was last week.
First on the chopping block: Blake Lewis and his sophomore effort, Heartbreak On Vinyl. (And can I just say, I've been less than enthused by cover artwork for most releases for the past few months, but this one really hit the hammer on the head. Gorgeous.)
My unexpected love affair with Blake Lewis has been well documented on this blog. I've also made no secret of the fact that during Season Six of "American Idol", I was more rooting for Chris Richardson and Melinda Doolittle than for Mr. Lewis. However, of all of the contestants in the running from Season Six (Jordin Sparks included), Blake has emerged as my personal favorite as of late. (Personal Note: I wish Chris Rich would hurry up with his tracks and just put out an album already, independently if he has to, before people forget he even exists more than they already have...)
While Blake's debut foray into pop, A.D.D. (Audio Day Dream), had so many stand out tracks ("End of the World", "She's Makin' Me Lose It", "Gots to Get Her", "Surrender", immediately come to mind) that never became singles (even though they could/should have), I personally feel that Heartbreak lacks that initial excitement.
It's for this reason that upon my first few spins, I've found Heartbreak on the whole a bit of a ridiculous let-down. With time, I've warmed up to it a bit, but even now, much of it starts to blend together (which, arguably, means its cohesive as an album set, something that is somewhat rare of the genre these days, but in Blake's case, that isn't something I'm pleased about). All of it is ear-arresting and fun to listen to, sure (given you like dancey music, of course), but few of the songs stand out to me as potential singles/favorites, beside "Sad Song", "Heartbreak", and my strategical third single guess, the final track (and rather saucy) "Love Or Torture (Please Don't Stop)".
"Love And Torture" is currently fighting the album's title track for my favorite from the set. It's so punchy and synthy and grandiose and swirly. Imagine my surprise (read: one of those situations where you really love a song upon first listen, and when you find out who wrote it, you immediately respond, "Well, that explains it.") when I realized it was co-written by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder (who also contributed a few tracks to A.D.D.). Hence my gut feeling it may end up being spun out as a single. Tedder did co-write the underwhelming "Break Anotha" after all, but then again, he also co-wrote "Surrender" and "End of the World" which didn't get the attention they deserved.
So much of the middle of the set doesn't exactly have me sitting on the edge of my seat. This isn't to say it's an awful album -- quite the contrary. I do feel that this is the type of music Blake probably should have done all along, and given that he now no longer has major label/Simon Cowell album constraints, his free reign is quite noticeable. The lyrics featured throughout are all imaginative and praise-worthy. My main complaint that while virtually all of A.D.D. was so instantly exciting, singable and standout (like the mixtape concept idea he was going for) so much of Heartbreak runs together a little too well.
To put it plainly, this record does not carry many tracks that immediately require singular search-and-find on a lonely day. It's more of a listen to all-of-the-album-at-once kind of thing. Blake Lewis is still a creative genius, and will continue to be underrated.
With all that said, my love for "Heartbreak on Vinyl", the song, will never ever be compromised, and "Sad Song" still sounds amazing blaring out yo' speakers. "The Remedy" is fun, and "Rhythm of My Heart" is too. I could do without the obligatory beatbox vignette, but he is kind of known as "the beat box guy" to so many AI fans, so who am I to judge on that? Overall, the set is a grower. While initial spins had me more than a little dissapointed, I've come to appreciate it for what it is: a strong dance album. If you're looking to cherry pick tracks, however, this one might not be for you (and in that case, I suggest A.D.D.).

Great review. "Love or Torture" doesn't resonate with me quite in the same way it does with you, but I definitely like it. As much as it may pain some folks, I would bet that the more "now" sounding "Afraid" will be the next single.
great write up - i'll have to add the link into my post today when not commenting via blackberry!
J.Mensah said...
Very nice review, I really enjoyed reading that--I need to check this out, unfortunately there's no UK release so its either order an import or torrent... hmm.
John - The more I think about it, I suppose "Afraid" wouldn't be too terrible, and "Love or Torture" being a Tedder track may make the project seem a bit "desperate" to some. Still love it though.
Paul -- Awww, thanks! :)
J -- If you want me to send you the album so you can preview it, I wouldn't mind. :)

I mailed out 74 Christmas cards a few days ago. Is 74 alot? Not alot? I don't know. What I do know is that it took me a long time to personalize each card, place the address labels and stamps on the envelopes and lick the envelopes.
Do I receive 74 in return? No, not even close. Judging by the fact that we have received 3 to date, I am guessing 35 might be alot this year. I don't expect to receive a card from each family to whom I send a card. I don't send one because I want one in return. I send them because it's a polite way to offer greetings of the season to those you probably won't see and some you will. There was a time when I recorded my Christmas card data in a spreadsheet. Needless to say this occurred when I had only one child. I kept track of the cards that I sent and those I received. I am still obsessive that way, but I no longer have the time to be nearly as meticulous.
Selfishly, I have to admit, I send my cards because I want to show off my daughters. I want every recipient to see how my girls have grown and how beautiful they are. But than again, I would venture to say that's the motivation behind most of the cards you receive from families with children. Why else would they use a photo card?
I enjoy each and every card we receive. I look at them carefully while fully understanding the effort it takes to send even just one card. I don't mind the afterthoughts cards...you know, the ones you receive only because you've sent one. At least it was sent!
