Pull Bite Rally is the first exhibition to mark the Black Church Print Studio's dynamic initiative Process. As part of the Studio's artistic programme, Process invites leading art practitioners to work with the resources and expertise of the Studio in the production of original artworks. For the Pull Bite Rally exhibition artists Brian Fay, Damien Flood, Jesse Jones, Isabel Nolan and Sarah Pierce present their artworks and continued collaboration at NCAD Gallery. Through explorative processes, the artist's intent is facilitated by the skills and experience of a dedicated printmaking team of master printmakers and print coordinators. This collaboration between artist and the Studio aims to give practitioners a comprehensive understanding of the processes and concepts of printmaking leading to new directions in their practice.
Integral and in addition to the exhibition, responses from practitioners, leading figures in the visual arts and the wider public are invited to participate in rigorous inquiry and discussion that Pull Bite Rally invokes. NCAD Gallery's collegial context affords the opportunity to form close exhibition partner relationships with staff and students from the NCAD College departments and further afield to form a parallel event series. Over the four week exhibition period a programme of events, screenings and talks are scheduled in consideration of the central theme of process. Engaging key topics fundamental to the artists' project experience, with reference to: the potentiality of collaboration and creative professional links for artists; printed matter and publishing; authorship and reproduction; medium specificity; professional practice pathways, skills and exchange; pedagogical foundations and shifts in contemporary art practice.
To mention only a few of the event highlights, kindly funded by The Research Institute at NCAD, Declan Long is in conversation with artist and 2014 Turner Prize nominee, Ciara Phillips, on Monday 24th November, 6pm. In a special one-off episode of TV Museum: The Mini-Series, Maeve Connolly investigates temporal, social and political aspects of serial publication and distribution. Connolly's titled 'Serial Publications and Practices' lecture reconsiders some of the strategies employed by General Idea and also explores the work of various contemporary artists and institutions engaged in the production of newspapers, journals and serialised moving images, posing questions about the changing form and function of seriality in art, media and culture - Wednesday 3rd December, 5pm.

Don't stop' is the NCAD MA Art in the Contemporary World organised public seminar that delves into ways to critically engage with current forms of artistic repetition and reproduction, considering how ideas and processes explored in the Pull Bite Rally exhibition relate to the broader contexts of twenty-first century art, Friday 28th November, 2pm.

Kaitlin seems to have a couple lately herself.
Every time this Old Navy commercial comes on featuring Ingrid Michaelson's song, "The Way I Am," she always starts singing along...it's so cute!
She also has a 'thing' for "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's...she really only knows the chorus and kinda stumble-mumbles through the rest, but who cares...it's adorable!
Quite refined musical tastes for a 5-year-old...I'm impressed. But wait, she also loves everything Hanna Montana/Miley Cyrus. And her father does have her singing "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by Smashing Pumpkins which she calls "The Rat in a Cage Song"...hmmm...not so refined, maybe?

Why See San Francisco Symphony - Urbanski conducts Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony?
It is a remarkable feat that Felix Mendelssohn's famed Grand Tour of Europe between 1829 and 1831 gave us three of the composers most enduring works, including his immensely popular Symphony No.4, an aural postcard of the feelings elicited by his time in Italy. Calling it his 'jolliest piece' it has remained a firm audience favorite and is presented once more in this mixed program featuring the blazing talent of the 'electric' young conductor Krzysztof Urbanski.
Additionally, the evening will pay homage to Polish composer Bacewicz's Overture and Elgar's unorthodox and nefarious Violin Concerto, played by Vilde Frang, making her San Francisco Symphony Debut.
Sound good to you? Share this page on social media and let your friends know about San Francisco Symphony - Urbanski conducts Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony at Davies Symphony Hall.

My movie thing
by tom • September 11, 2010 • 0 Comments
I've been a movie junkie as long as I can remember. I recall ripping through the TV section of the Peoria Journal Star every Saturday, looking for hopeful signs on the next week's movie horizon. I couldn't have been older than 9 or 10, with tastes appropriate to my years — all I needed in life was two hours of Godzilla eating Tokyo or Washington fending off alien invaders.
I watched everything back then — I still remember the first time I saw Slim Pickens riding that A-bomb to his doom in "Doctor Strangelove." I had no idea it was a comedy.
Oddly enough, the late-show movie most fixed in my memory involved a black guy trapped in a mine while World War III breaks out. He escapes to a world devoid of people and settles into a strange life in a vacant New York City. Then he finds a woman. Things progress until another guy shows up. He's white. Naturally, the first instinct of the last three people on earth is a racially charged love triangle.
Today my movie habit is enabled almost entirely by Netflix.com, and my deepest lament is that I've seen all the good ones (nearly 1200 titles and counting).
Netflix doesn't stock every film ever produced (they're not all out on DVD), but it has enough to keep a fiend like me on the hook. I've become a huge fan of foreign flicks, mainly because gobs of great movies are out there if you can deal with the subtitles (I'd rather read subtitles than try to watch dubbed movies; the mouth-not-following-the-words is too distracting).
I've seen all the best work of Akira Kurosawa, Japan's legendary film director. His "Seven Samurai," remade in the U.S. as "The Magnificent Seven," tells the story of lowly Japanese peasants who become so fed up with marauding bandits that they hire free-lance samurai warriors to a) save their crops; and b) seek revenge. One of the co-stars is Toshiro Mifune, who also starred as a cunning rogue who plays a town's feuding factions against each other in the classic Yojimbo, remade as "A Fistful of Dollars" in the spaghetti western that turned Clint Eastwood into a huge star.
Speaking of samurai warriors, thanks to Netflix I stumbled across the work of Jean-Pierre Melville, a great French director whose Le samouraï" was one of the great crime movies of the 1960s. Le samouraï features a square-jawed heartthrob who carefully and precisely kills people for a living. Even better is "Le deuxième souffle" (The Second Wind), featuring a scary-tough bad-ass (hard to imagine in a French film, I know) named "Gu" who breaks out of prison and attempts the epic heist that will let him retire in peace.
I could go on, perhaps to my last keystroke, raving about all the great movies and griping about the bad ones. It's true they don't make them like they used to. But good ones keep getting made, and forgotten ones keep getting rediscovered.
Fine time to be a film fiend, no doubt about it.

"Gain = Move and Attack Penalty at range 0"
I can't figure out what the "Gain" is? Is there a positive modifier moving and attacking into a hex with a friendly, Range 0?
Or is it saying there is no negative modifier when moving and attacking into a hex with a friendly? Is the Move/Attack negative modifier nullified?
What's the player aid card - I didn't get one in my box and I don't see one mentioned in the DVG unboxing video?
Check out Gimpy's Unboxing video at 16:05.
Maybe a "misprint" of some sort... I've been looking and reading and I cannot find out exactly what it means. Although, someone will come along and say, OH... it's for this... and then you do a forehead slap!
OK... My thought? Well... how about a NO Point/Stress penalty if you move INTO an enemy hex and attack at Range 0? BUT... I cannot find any "rule" about that in the rulebook.
I see what you're talking about now - thanks!
My guess is you combine the move and attack penalty with the 0 range modifier from the unit commander.
I suspect it is a last edits typo of a previous Gain: +2 at range 0 benefit that may not have survived the final rules edits. I see that the example of play has unit 921 battling it out with a couple attack references to gaining +2 for same hex, assume another left over from last rules edits.
I think you're right. I asked Gimpy and his answer was similar.
"That comes from gaining your "move attack penalty" at range 0. The penalty for moving and attacking for German rifles is -2 so at range 0 they will gain a +2. The same applies for all troops of both sides with just the number changing based on penalty."
I see that the TL Upgrade Kit has reference to this below, not sure of SL intent at this point.
Roll 2 dice for all German and Allied Attacks.
A Rifle Units gains +2 when Attacking at Range 0.
+2 DRM when in same hex?
So, if your move & attack penalty is -2, then you would GAIN a +2 at range 0. OR if your move & attack penalty is -1, then you would GAIN a +1 at range 0.
So, your "move & attack penalty" is basically ignored IF you end movement (and attack) in an enemy hex.
Yah, the real request is for DVG to weigh in on the missing rule content vs the board/example content.

The widow of late Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo has been taken on an enforced "vacation" by state security police in the southwestern province of Yunnan, as rights activists held memorials for the dissident a week after his death.
Liu Xia, who has been under continual police guard and house arrest since her husband's Nobel award was announced in October 2010, is now "on vacation" along with her brother Liu Hui, the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy in China said in a statement on Wednesday.
Both are incommunicado, and have been unable to make direct contact with friends and relatives in Beijing, it said, citing sources close to the family.
Their enforced disappearance coincides with the traditional Chinese memorials made one week after a person's death, which were observed in secret by activists in mainland China, and more openly in the former British colony of Hong Kong.
Activists visited beaches and shorelines, making offerings in memory of the burial of Liu's ashes in an urn at sea last Saturday in defiance of attempts by Chinese officials to prevent democracy and rights activists from making a shrine to him after death.
Event organizers the Freedom for Liu Xiaobo Action Group called on supporters around the world to hold memorials on the seventh day of Liu's death.
Activists used candles, flowers, portraits of Liu and empty chairs as a focus for their offerings, in a reference to the empty chair that represented him at the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize awards ceremony in Oslo.
But most of Liu's supporters in China were unable to join in, Beijing-based activist Hu Jia told RFA, adding that he is under constant surveillance by the state security police.
"They pull over wherever I pull over, and if I get out of the car, they follow me," Hu said. "I have been under house arrest since June 27 to stop me going to Shenyang."
When he died, Liu was receiving treatment for late-stage liver cancer at the No. 1 China Medical University Hospital in the northeastern city of Shenyang, but was under close police guard at all times, and was denied visits from all but a select few family members.
"But whether they are stopping me from going to the seashore, or whether they were stopping me from going to Shenyang makes very little difference, I still can't go anywhere," Hu said.
"Of course I want to commemorate him, so as I am a Buddhist, I lit some incense for him at the shrine in my home, and I hope he attains to the Pure Land," Hu said.
Hu said he was unable to confirm reports that Liu Xia is in Yunnan under police guard.
But he said security police are currently guarding Liu's former residence in Dalian, and keeping journalists at bay with a "military cordon" around the area.
The couple's Beijing home is under similar lockdown, he said.
A Beijing academic who asked to remain anonymous said she had been warned off participating in the event.
"They didn't want me to take part, because they are thinking about the overall reaction of the population," she said. "They want to snuff it out before it even takes hold."
In the southern province of Guangdong, rights activist Jia Pin said he was unable to leave his home, which is currently under police guard.
"I took an empty chair, and placed a photograph of Liu Xiaobo on it, and I read out a few words I had prepared," Jia said. "Then I made the three-finger gesture [for resistance, freedom and hope] which Liu Xiaobo invented."
"Then I posted photos online to commemorate him," he said.
Zhejiang-based rights activist and close friend of Liu Xiaobo's Wen Kejian, indicated that he is also under close surveillance.
"It's not convenient for me to talk about anything specific right now, OK?" Wen said when contacted by RFA on Wednesday.
Outside mainland China, where ruling Chinese Communist Party censors operated real-time censorship of Liu-related images on social media, supporters posted photos of empty chairs by the seashore to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Germany-based dissident author Liao Yiwu, one of the Freedom for Liu Xiaobo Action Group organizers, said many activists there had marked the memorial day in a number of different ways.
"I will commemorate Liu Xiaobo at home, with about a dozen friends," Liao said. "I will recite Charter 08, which we wrote together, the parts about there being no moral giants in a democracy. Other friends will be reading out his poems."
"Other people have been holding a vigil outside the Chinese embassy since his death, and have been chased away by embassy staff," he said.
Current affairs commentator Chen Pokong said Liu had "died in the cruelest possible way, witnessing the revival of Nazism in the form of a corrupt Chinese elite."
"Liu Xiaobo's death made no waves in China," Chen wrote in a commentary aired by RFA's Mandarin Service. "The Chinese Communist Party had succeeded in blocking all news of him."
"Domestic media didn't show the questions asked by foreign journalists of the foreign ministry spokesman, which shows you ... just how much the party fears the name of Liu Xiaobo."

Towson University requires that eligible students, staff and faculty receive COVID-19 booster shot
January 7, 2022 January 7, 2022 Social Manager
By: Jake Shindel, Editor-in-Chief
File Photo by Meghan Hudson/ The Towerlight
Towson University (TU) is requiring that all eligible students, faculty and staff receive their COVID-19 booster shot by Jan. 31, according to an email by Towson provost Melanie Perreault on Jan. 7. Jan. 31 is the first day of the Spring 2022 semester.
TU's email came after the University System of Maryland (USM) announced earlier in the day that all eligible residential students must receive their booster.
If a student, staff member or faculty member is not yet eligible to receive a booster, then proof of the booster shot must be submitted within 14 days of becoming eligible. The link to provide proof of a booster shot can be found in the email.
Students, faculty and staff that were exempt from getting the initial vaccine are also exempt from receiving a booster shot, and do not need to resubmit an exemption form.
In addition to the booster shot requirement, TU is requiring that all students, faculty and staff wear KN95 masks while in academic settings. The email recommended that people bring their own KN95 masks, but stated that the masks will also be handed out at certain places around campus.
Everyone returning to campus must submit a negative COVID-19 test within five days of returning to campus. Negative tests can come from a PCR, rapid-antigen, or at-home test. If a student, staff or faculty member has tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 90 days, a negative test is not required. The form to fill out this information is also found in the email.

Snowball Derby Odds: Who Will Claim the Tom Dawson Trophy?
You're not going to see these odds at any casinos in Vegas or even in the Deep South closer to Pensacola. Handicapping the favorites for the Snowball Derby can be such a tall task to deliberate, especially for the 50th running.
Nevertheless, and although we do not necessarily condone gambling, the Speed51.com powered by JEGS staff decided to carry through with a friendly distribution of odds for Sunday's 300-lap prestigious Super Late Model race at Five Flags Speedway.
We ranked the drivers straight up, not based on how they have performed in practice leading into Friday evening's qualifying. Previous performances in the Snowball Derby and additional major Super Late Model events have factored into these odds.
Once again, odds are all in fun, unofficial, and for entertainment purposes only.
Although these three competitors have only combined for one past Snowball Derby triumph, it's hard to pick against any one of these talents. Bubba Pollard and Ty Majeski have come close more than once and have qualified fastest before, and if they fire off on all cylinders over the distance in the 2017 feature each could likely be out front. Kyle Busch may only arrive at the 1/2-mile facility on Friday and for the first time as a driver since 2012, but will pick up right where he left off - contending for the win.
It is certainly debatable that any of these five can be considered favorites instead. Burton is a 2017 champion in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, Eckes flew slightly under the radar to perform perfectly when it counted to take the victory last year, and Peltier has won in Super Late Models in multiple states across the entire country this year. Do not count out perennial contenders LaJoie and Choquette either. Gragson is fresh off a Winchester 400 victory, proving he can stand the test of time and conservation to be there near the end.
Many "in the mix" have stepped up their game in recent months preparing for this special 50th running. Doss is fresh off a win out in Las Vegas a few short weeks ago, while Fredrickson has brought in the legendary Freddie Query to assist. Youngsters Lessard and Smith are probable to improve upon their 2016 performances, which alone were respectable. Nasse and Wilson have numerous years of experience and multiple high-level race wins to their name.
We're certainly not ruling these guys out, but their past performances, whether it was acquiring knowledge or simply a roller coaster of misfortune, make things a tad shaky on whether they can complete the deal and take the win. All of them have the backing and support, but will it be enough to be there at lap 300?
Last year's winner Christian Eckes was a 12 to 1 favorite, so it is always possible to parlay a gamble into quite the profitable transaction. Considering a five-time winner is in this group, each one of these names is capable of getting it done if the right set of circumstances occur.
This category features some wild cards in the bunch. A few that have started previous Derbies earned impressive finishes navigating the 1/2-mile before so it is not a complete long shot to put your money one of them.
Simply making the field of Super Late Models on Sunday is an accomplishment in itself, so if anyone is in the show there's always a possibility they could be hoisting the Tom Dawson Trophy on Sunday evening.
These racers have been working day and night to have their name called in driver introductions and be part of the 50th class picture. If one were to win it would be a major upset, perhaps the biggest in its storied history, but anything can happen in the Snowball Derby.

Cricket Live updates:And with just two balls being bowled in the match, the covers have come on. The play has been interrupted already. Australia are 1/0.
Preview: This is the 3rd ODI among three -match One-Day International series between India and Australia,which is going into the decider match. Already,Australia 1, India 1, with winner to take all at the iconic MCG in Melbourne on Friday (January 18).
Things are gradually falling in place for both sides. Australia came into the series in poor form, low confidence, and with questions over their combinations. Two games in, they've made good strides in identifying some key options for the World Cup. India is in well settled and in form,and have taken steps to streamline its gaps in their line up.
One of those Crucial gaps is the middle order batting. While the top three have scored the bulk of the runs for India in ODIs, there have been question marks over the batsmen who follow. The two games have given India plenty of pointers in that direction.
By now, it's clear that India are going to stick to MS Dhoni, at No. 5, no matter what. Virat Kohli made it clear after the second game, saying "there's no doubt he should be in the side". Dhoni had a poor 2018 but has made a good start to the new year with two successive half-centuries, the second helping India past the line in a tense chase. An in-form and confident Dhoni will do wonders to the Indian side.
But it's also clear by now that Dhoni cannot do the job alone. He needs help from his partners, and that cannot always be Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli, particularly in the fag end of the innings. That's where Dinesh Karthik's 14-b1ll 25* in Adelaide will please India. Karthik has been identified for the finishing role – above Kedar Jadhav who can bowl – and if he fills in consistently, India will not need to rely completely on the top three.
There were slight doubts developing over Ambati Rayudu,while the two wicket keeprs shown promising signs. He seemed to have made the No. 4 spot his own with good performances against Windies, but has struggled in Australia so far (0 off 2 and 24 off 6), perhaps owing to lack of top-class cricket. Rohit has openly said he 'personally' prefers Dhoni at No. 4, and if Rayudu fails a few more times, the pressure could mount.
For the middle order to take its time to settle in, it's imperative that the top three keep firing. Rohit and Kohli already have centuries in the series, and Shikhar Dhawan played a nice little cameo in Adelaide which he'll want to extend in Melbourne.
The other pointer India have got so far is about their third seam-bowling option once Jasprit Bumrah returns. The newcomers – Khaleel Ahmed and Mohammed Siraj – have struggled, while Mohammed Shami has done a decent job. India might consider playing Yuzvendra Chahal in place of Siraj, considering the size of MCG. Most importantly for India, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has put behind a poor 2018 and picked up four wickets in Adelaide.
Australia too have taken steps towards identifying a core group for the World Cup. They have posted close to 300 in both the matches, thanks to a firing middle order. Shaun Marsh has led the way with scores of 54 and 131, while Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb also have half-centuries. Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell have done their finishing duties well, adding power in the lower-middle order.
What Australia will want now is more contribution from openers Alex Carey and Aaron Finch. Carey has 42 and Finch 12 runs in the series.
Australia's bowling, without Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, has done a decent job. That's largely thanks to Jhye Richardson, with Jason Behrendorff playing the supporting role. Behrendorff is managing a sore back and has been replaced by Billy Stanlake on Friday. Australia will also want more from the experienced Peter Siddle.
In both games, India's batsmen have gone after Siddle and Lyon, identifying them as the easiest hitting options. Given the number of right-handers in the Indian line up, Australia have replaced the wicketless Lyon with Adam Zampa's leg-spin for the decider.
Conditions in Adelaide were bordering on extreme, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees. Melbourne is relatively better, which allowed a few players to cool off and watch the Australian Open tennis action on Wednesday. They'll be back in full intensity for the decider, hopefully producing another tight game. Australia seek their first series win in two years, while India will want to win a successful tour on a high.

A recent opinion piece appeared in the Idaho Business Review where the author made many claims regarding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (commonly known as DACA), immigration, and naturally, President Trump.
The piece was written by Detroit-based immigration attorney Henry E. Ibe. In the article, Mr. Ibe was very clear about one thing: President Trump and his administration do not have the DACA recipients, and by extension our country's, best interests at heart.
When I posed the question, "How is a politically polarized article that attempts to be critical of our president relevant to Idaho business owners?", the answer came back that many businesses, especially in the agri-business community, are concerned with the plight of DACA and immigrant workers, whether of legal or illegal status.
Fair enough; certain businesses are worried their labor pool could be negatively affected by whatever is ultimately decided on DACA and immigration policy. I get that. But was that the focus of Mr. Ibe's article? Not even remotely. Rather, the article was almost exclusively an attempt to label our president (and his administration) bigoted and racist.
I would encourage readers to pick up an April 13th edition of the Idaho Business Review and decide for themselves or read the column on the IBR website here.
Regardless, if businesses are wishing there was a way for current DACA recipients to continue to live and work in America, they need look no further than the DACA proposal Trump put before Congress in January. Trump's offer would have provided amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million DACA qualifiers—more than twice the 800,000 being negotiated for when Democrats shut down the government for three days demanding a workable solution on DACA.
Long story short, Trump's DACA offer was killed in the senate by Democrat "no" votes. Those who rejected it did so claiming the proposal had too many concessions, such as the funding for the southern border wall, and the termination of the visa lottery program. But, at the end of the day, Trump's proposal still provided amnesty and a path to citizenship for all Dreamers, both present and future. So why did Democrats reject it? Perhaps they were holding out, hoping to gamble for an even larger number of illegal immigrants in some hypothetical future deal. But that would beg the question, who in government is really, as Mr. Ibe put it, "using the lives of Dreamers as bargaining chips"?
Mr. Ibe concluded his article by stating that now is the time to act (by voting), because, (he quoted JFK) if good men do nothing, evil will triumph. Remarkably, Mr. Ibe seems to have forgotten that a holistic DACA solution was already proposed — by President Trump, and the only people responsible for its failure have a blue "D" next to their name.
So, while I appreciate the author's call to action among voters, those who are sympathetic toward the DACA Dreamers might have pause when considering which politicians are truly politically motivated, and which are acting in the best interests of Americans—Dreamers included.

This is a pretty good story that I heard today. It has all about how your attitude can affect your day to day life.
He continued, "The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. He does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him, and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way.
Sometimes, it is a challenge to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit. The same challenge is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too."
Do you ever stop to ponder….which wolf inside of you do you feed more?
