I cannot thank East Boca Tackle enough for what an amazing season my son had. This was our first season of football and my son was dreading a new sport, as we walked in to get our equipment he was nervous and honestly dreading another season of sports. By the time we left with our equipment my son felt like a million bucks and that continued for the whole season. The amount of dedication, patience, teaching and mentoring that all the Coaches at East Boca Tackle displayed this season truly inspiring. I cannot thank you enough for the confidence that was instilled into my son and all the fun he had. We cannot wait until next year!!!
My experience with East Boca Tackle has been extremely positive! I was worried when my two boys wanted to play tackle football more than anything else because they are little guys. East Boca Tackle prepares them with a thorough conditioning program at the beginning of the season, and they teach them the skills they need to play the game. They select players for positions based on their ability and what they are best suited for, and they teach them that you "win as a team and you lose as a team". I can't say enough about the amazing coaches who truly love the game and enjoy watching their players improve each week and form a true team spirit! We have had an amazing experience the past two seasons and are looking forward to the next!
Hello. I would like to talk to you about East Boca Tackle Football. My son joined the league back in 2010. He started playing in the Freshman league. I will say I was very nervous to let my son play tackle football. That all changed when I met the coaches and staff of the League. They informed me that all the Coaches had prior experience and training with "concussions". This put me at ease. My sons first experience with football was amazing. He learned to be a team player and his love of football exploded!!! We are in our 6th year with East Boca Tackle. My son has made many friends over the years and has played with many different kids. The one thing that I admire the most is the dedication that each Volunteer Coach displays. They treat each child as an individual and they help each player develop their skills. We have made so many great memories with East Boca Tackle. I would highly recommend East Boca Tackle to all who have a passion and love for football.
East Boca Tackle family, I am a mother of three children, two of them being boys, and one being a girl. All of my children, (yes including my daughter), played East Boca Tackle football. I've been in this league since the very first year, and I strongly recommend enrolling your children in this sport. I as a mother understand the concerns of parents, allowing their children to play this game, but I write this to tell you that it is a safe, caring, loving, skillful and a healthy sport. East Boca Tackle not only taught my children to play the game, but they trained them to act on technique and skill. With the training of East Boca Tackle, my children not only played the game that they love, but they also played the game that you soon will love too.

Dave Tucker has been in the green industry for decades. Dave has seen lawn companies of all shapes and sizes thrive and fail. In his research of the industry, he has discovered that there are four keys to making the most money in lawn care.
How To Make The Most Money In A Lawn Care Business
- Find The Perfect Customers
- Motivate Your Employees
- Track Your Revenue
- Develop Systems
1. The Perfect Customer
Travel time can be the number one killer of productivity and efficiency. Location is such a big deal that it's worth around $40,000 a year for a company with ten crews that have three men on each crew to move it's starting location 15 minutes closer to their customers.
How is that possible you ask?
- .5 hours (of traveling 15 minutes to and from your daily route), X 10 crews, X 3 guys (on a crew), X 36 Weeks (a season), X $45/hour (each man costs you per man hour) =
- $24,300 in LOST SALES per year. So even if you paid $40,000 to move your location 15 minutes closer to your routes, you would recover it in less than two years.
The Perfect Customer Is Able To Pay
Hopefully, you look at this point and just say, of course! But have you looked at your numbers in CLIPitc or CLIPxe? Did you make sure that all your customers pay their bills on time? Even if your late customers eventually settle after a few phone calls that means you paid someone (or spend your own time) for 10-20 minutes just to make late payment calls. Our policy is that when the customers don't pay, we don't cut! We try to have most of our customers' credit cards on file and just bill them monthly for the service.
The Perfect Customer Only Wants YOUR Service
Do you like to focus on just mow-blow-and go jobs? Do you want more high-end customers that need some fertilizing, landscaping tips and weekly gardening? Know what jobs make you the most money and what jobs need your focus! Check out our article on the "product" part of your marketing plan. Then print out some CLIP reports to see what jobs make you the most, and listen to your best employees about what jobs make them the happiest (especially if they are succeeding in piecework!). High-maintenance customers, that always call you with complaints, argue over and edit your contract each Spring, and have a list a mile long of special requests each month are not perfect customers. You want good, everyday customers that pay you regularly, like your service, and don't need much change from your company.
Get the perfect customers so you can do your best work and make the most money.
The Perfect Customer Won't Force You To Give Away Your Extreme Profit
As Cutting Edge Lawn Care shared with us, it is never worth it to give away your profits just to get a customer. Cutting Edge used to take any customers that called them as long as they owned grass and wanted it cut. However, 80% of their customers didn't have sprinkler systems, and they all lived in Texas! One summer they went from weekly and bimonthly mowings to stretches of 6-8 weeks between mowings because of a horrible drought. Then in January, they found out that the next season was predicted to be the same – long, dry, and hot.
Increasing Extreme Profit by Streamlining Customers
"That is when Todd and I looked at each other and said, "No way!" So, we thought about it and made a significant policy change. We decided from that point on to only accept new clients who had sprinkler systems, and who wanted weekly lawn mowing during the growing season, and who would sign one of our two annual service plans (one is 38 services per year, and the other is 52). That year, we turned down 80% of the people who called us for quotes. And, we grew 20% in sales.
The new policy saved us. The drought has continued in Austin since then, and we have grown every year. Last year, we increased almost $200,000 in sales… One other thing I forgot to mention was something it took about three years into the policy change for us to learn. Our new clients (with the sprinkler systems, weekly service, and on an annual service plan) were worth three times the value of our old clients base (no sprinkler system, bi-weekly mowing, and no service plan).
Initially, we thought they would be worth twice (biweekly to weekly mowing). But the fact that they had invested in a sprinkler system and they were willing to pay for twice the mowings meant that they wanted a much more beautiful lawn and landscape. So, they also bought fertilization, color plants, new shrubs and shrub trimming. We are so thankful that we raised our bar. We have very been blessed."
Don't give away your lawn service — find your perfect customers and stick to that type and your company will grow.
2. Motivation
Here at CLIP, we get calls all the time from lawn care companies asking how they can "track their employees with GPS to make sure they're doing their work." Someone even asked if we have a GPS solution for mowers to make sure the lawns were mowed in stripes!
Employees can sometimes take their time at work — they make extra coffee stops, loiter on smoke breaks, and stretch lunch into 2 hours some days. Often, it's hard to know if your crews are milking the clock. Of course, the worst employees will likely weed themselves out, but the best employees tend to take their time and do a great job.
The "Employee" Problem
Across the service industry here in the USA the #1 problem owners face is finding ways to motivate their employees to do better work. It usually seems that the owner can accomplish the same job much faster than the employee. Why do owners continually have to try to motivate the employee to work harder and smarter?
The honest answer is; we are teaching them to take as much time as possible because they are only getting paid for their time — not their efficiency.
When hourly employees take their time at work, they work more hours and in turn get paid time and a half for overtime. You can try to motivate your employees by saying that they'll get a raise in 6 months if they do a great job but it's much easier to motivate people with immediate gratification.
The Piecework Solution for Extreme Profit
When you use piecework to motivate your employees, they will get paid per property. The system is based entirely on how efficiently your folks are working.
Piecework takes most of the pressure away from the managers spending all their time "babysitting" to make sure the work is getting done. It also helps the owners immensely when it comes to accounting — your employees are merely paid a percentage of what you are paid.
On rainy days when the work is slow, you are both paid less — and on late Summer days when the grass is growing, and mowers can almost fly through the properties, you are both paid more.
Of course, you don't want your business based on doing the fastest mowing jobs because quality will dip and you may lose customers. If you get your employees to focus on cutting the most lawns possible while doing a good job, you can ensure the quality stays high as well.
We have a ton of articles about how to motivate employees with piecework, and you can also check out Dave Tucker's book, "Lawn Maintenance Piecework and the Beautiful Business: Getting Your Employees to Pull With You."
How Can You Track and Use Piecework Legally?
Check your state for the laws on piecework, but most have legal ways to do it — typically they will insist that you pay your employees the federal minimum hourly wage and possibly set up a contract with them to have variable pay. We have used piecework in one of the most strict counties in the US, Montgomery County MD, and had no issue.
One objection we've heard to implementing piecework is that once in place you need to know your employees hours, how many properties they serviced, and what you charged those properties to discover percentages. The fear is that putting piecework in place is going to triple the time it takes to do payroll.
We can assure you that it won't.
The truth is that piecework is the philosophical foundation behind CLIP. The entire system is built around the concept of piecework, and all of the tools you need to implement it are in CLIPitc and CLIPxe!
The CLIPitc app and CLIP2go make it easier for your crews to put in stop and start times, clock in and out, and allows you to keep up with where they are. CLIP also has dozens of reports that can make your transfer of employees hours to QuickBooks for payroll pretty easy. You can even make sure that you are meeting the minimum wage requirements.
Check out this webinar to learn more how CLIP works with piecework to motivate!
3. Revenue Tracking
You need to include some factors when you start revenue tracking to figure out which customer pays you the most per hour.
- how many man hours the property takes to work on
- the number of people that are traveling and working and for how long
- how much you are paid for the work
- how much extra wear and tear on your machines or materials cost you should take into account at that property
Man Hours to Increase Extreme Profit
Determining your man hours is basically breaking down how much money you want to make for doing a job, and the time you have per person to hit that goal. We have some great infographics to walk you through the man-hour rating process.
The easy way to know what your man hour rating is with each of your customers is to just track it in CLIPitc.
CLIP has a series of reports that can tell you your man hour rating for each customer and even highlight which ones make you the amount of money you want to earn each man-hour, and which ones don't.
When you have your employees track their times in the CLIPitc app or through a route sheet that you input into CLIP, it's pretty easy to find out which customers make you the most revenue.
Materials Cost
You need to be tracking and knowing exactly how much materials you have used on the customer's property and bill them for that separately. If you haven't separated your material costs from your labor costs on your jobs yet, you are likely losing a little bit here and there, and that could be affecting your bottom line.
It's always nice to get a massive check from a customer. The problem is, sometimes those dollar signs can cloud your vision, and you forget all about the truckload of mulch and couple dozen pavers you used to get their job done. Factoring in these extra costs, that check doesn't look as good anymore, and that customer might be your least profitable one.
How Does Revenue Tracking help Extreme Profit?
The question becomes; "How could knowing who my best customer is affect my revenue?"
When you know who your best customers are, you can look at the properties and figure out why. Is it because the travel time is down? Is it because the property doesn't have trees to mow around? It could be many different reasons, but if you know which one you can bid your future customers better based on them.
It also tells you something essential — which customers you do NOT want to lose! That means that when you want to send a letter out raising your prices, you better ignore the best customers or you may lose them. Send out the letter to your customers that barely make you enough, if you lose them, you can just replace them.
Know who your highest revenue producing customers are so you can make all your customers give you extreme profit!
4. Systems
What is a system?
According to the dictionary, a system is "A group of related parts that move or work together." Business is made up of many different parts including but not limited to customer service, accounting, employee management, marketing, etc. However, to have a profitable business that anyone can run, you have to design systems that blend seamlessly to create a smooth operation, which in turn, will make you more profitable. This way, when a new person comes on board or is promoted into position, they can lean on the processes in place and only need to learn how to do their job, not necessarily what their job is.
What would happen if your company had systems?
Systems can make your employees more reliable. And, with more reliability at the office, you might finally be able to take some vacation time. You could hire someone who may be bright but has no experience, quickly train them, and have them up to speed in a much speedier fashion.
With a set of systems in place, you could take a lot of menial burden off of yourself and use that time for other things.
What systems do you have in place to increase Extreme Profit?
How many systems do you currently have set up in your company? Can you define all of the areas that are systems based?
If you're not careful, a system will create itself if you're unintentional about setting it up. This means that any bad habits that the people that hold positions of responsibility in your company are baked into those processes and taught to your new hires and promotions.
Don't wait until you see a problem to organize and create the process. Even if you have good people, you can still have bad systems if they've not been considered well enough.
What systems do you need?
Think of the different aspects of your company and the roles within and make a list.
In our experience, it's best to have a system in place for every part of your company.Don't just consider how the pieces fit together but also how they're built.
Ask yourself these questions:
- What makes our business tick?
- Who's responsible for what?
- How do we measure success?
- How do we track our progress?
- What tools do we use to accomplish tasks?
Systems in use at CLIP Lawn Care TN:
CLIPitc: CLIPitc turns our customer management, routing, scheduling, and job costing into seamless systems that any of our employees can efficiently use. We use the CLIPitc system to figure out everything customer related from routing to job costing to which customers make us the most per man hour.
QuickBooks: CLIPitc links right to Quickbooks so we always know what your customers owe and can make sure we aren't cutting without being paid. It also helps us track all of our accounts receivable.
KnowItAll: KnowItAll links keywords to our documents, spreadsheets, questions/answers, passwords, and much more so that we don't need a company Know-It-All and can just let our employees quickly search for the answers on their own (see our past article on KnowItAll here). Before KnowItAll, our CEO could barely go on a few days' vacation without checking in regularly. Since KnowItAll, he has gone on month vacations without having to contact the office!
We also have a lot of our building block systems stored in KnowItAll such as training manuals, a company handbook, marketing documents, email lists, customer databases, and more.
Systems are what make your company run, whether you intentionally build them or not. Take some time and design the systems that work for you and you will be well on your way to extreme profit.

Well, supposed fair weather – haven't seen the sun all day, and its quite chilly as a result!!
Today I have been mainly bent over planting.
I've planted 200+ Onion sets, and some 30+ Shallots. This means in total there are now over 300+ Onions growing, which should be about a years supply!!!
I also planted about 28 metres of Broad Beans in two rows:
And covered them with netting until they are big enough to not look like food for the pigeons!! Broad Beans are great because you can cook a lot of dishes with them and they Freeze really well – so worth growing a large crop and storing
I was going to plant Peas, but remembering its only February, and the Peas in the Poly are not even germinating I thought better of it!!
A bit more cutting and that was that – the Willow still needs planting!!!

What was priceless a) we made our own items to sell b) we experienced a taste of being a 'street vendor' c) making new friends with other creative people d) seeing the reaction of people who came to our stall and bought our items.
Joshua and Dora made bags, pillows and ear rings
Janice packed childhood tidbits and stuff
Mojo and Phanie made candles
Hoi hoi made brownies
Diane did calendars
Loo helped in everything
Raymond Chang bought a bit of everything
Celine collected money
Peppies had a lot of fun.

One of my favorites is this thing on salt.
This is probably one of the bigger medical ka-kas, this salt thing.
Doctors tell you ôDonĺt use salt!ö
No sodium, because itĺs going to give you hypertension, high
blood pressure, it will give you heart disease, and they have made
Americans paranoid about salt. Now,
Iĺm a veterinarian as well as a physician.
I refuse to believe that my human patients are dumber than a cow.
Whatĺs the first thing a farmer or a rancher puts out for his
livestock? A big salt block,
right? Nobody gives any
restriction on a cow, she goes out and has all the salt that she wants.
Never gets high blood pressure, and so I always used to tell my
patients ôLook, letĺs use a little common sense here.
Why donĺt you just go ahead and take a salt shaker, just salt
your food to taste, go mad with the salt.
Your body will tell you when to back off.
And 98% of my patients would do it just because I asked them to do
it. And I have been
vindicated in this belief.
This was actually a study that was published in the
NY Times, May 22, 1996, and this study was abstracted from JAMA, the
Journal of the American Medical Association, the most prestigious medical
journal in the world, according to themselves.
Now in this particular journal, a Dr. Alexander Gordon Logan, who
is an epidemiologist and cardiologist on the teaching staff of the medical
school at the Univ. of Toronto up in Canada, and he took 56 existing
studies on hypertension or high blood pressure and restriction of salt,
combined data from these 56 studies, which included 3505 people.
He threw away all the conclusions and re-evaluated the larger group
and what he found out was this. If
you have normal blood pressure, and you restrict salt, it will not prevent
you from getting heart disease or high blood pressure.
If you have hypertension or high blood pressure and you restrict
salt, 97% of those with high blood pressure or hypertension who restrict
salt will not get any measurable benefit.
Zero. 2-5% get
measurable benefit, but itĺs not significant.
They are only able to reduce their blood pressure by 3.7mm mercury,
so here is what Dr. Alexander Gordon Logan said in JAMA, May 22, 1996.
He said, ôYou might as well go ahead and salt your food to
tasteö. Itĺs a
meaningless exercise. Donĺt
get paranoid about salt. It
has nothing to do with blood pressure problems.
There has never been one single iota of proof that restricting salt
has any benefit. Thatĺs
just one of those medical myths, he called it, but Iĺm going to call it
a medical ka-ka.
Salt your food to taste. Salt does not cause high blood pressure and restricting salt will not reduce your risk of high blood pressure or add ten seconds to your life - in fact restricting salt will shorten your life and make your very short life miserable.
Salt is the raw material needed to manufacture stomach acid. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid that is necessary to digest food, ensure absorption of minerals, activate pepsin (protein digestive enzyme produced by the stomach) and activate the "intrinsic factor" necessary to absorb vitamin B12.
In April 1997, The Sodium Task Force reported that those individuals who restricted their salt intake to one gram per day had a 600 percent higher rate of heart attacks than those who consumed more than two grams of salt per day.
Restricted salt intakes will make you heat intolerant and over the long term will result in digestive problems including belching, burping, intestinal gas and G.E.R.D. (gastro esophageal reflux disease).
Restricted salt diets with the resultant hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) will increase risks of nutritional deficiency diseases including obesity (reduced absorption of minerals increases the munchies), diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney stones, cataracts, fibromyalgia, etc.
(Hell's Kitchen by Dr. Joel Wallach and Dr. Ma Lan)
Q: I have
a son that has grand mal seizures.
Can you recommend anything for that:
A: Okay,
well first of all, was your son born with these grand mal seizures?
Yes, he was. He
was born with it, he has hydrocephalus, cerebropalsy.
Okay, first of all cerebropalsy and hydrocephalus are whatĺs called a congential birth defect.
These are caused by nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy.
They can be a Zinc deficiency, Vitamin A
deficiency, Copper
deficiency, and it has two problems there, and itĺs not unusual, because
a deficiency of single nutrient can cause as many as 10 different
diseases. So, your son
unfortunately has a very common series of events here, and because the epilepsy,
the congenital birth disorder is associated with these two congenital
birth defects, the odds are the nutrition alone will not put the genii back
in the bottle. And he might have to stay on an anti-seizure medication, such
as dilantin or phenobarb forever. However,
the thing that you have to be concerned with is almost all of these
anti-seizure medications have a down side in that they deplete their bones
and minerals. Itĺs not
unusual for a 6 yr old or a 10 yr old to get arthritis
or osteoporosis, noisy
joints, and twitches
and cramps, and loose
teeth and receding gums and back
problems and all the things that are associated with mineral
deficiencies. So your child
is a perfect candidate for the Pig Arthritis formula, simply because he is on dilantin, or another anti-seizure
medication. Very important.
Does he weigh less than 100 pounds?
Yes, he does. Okay,
then I would give him a teaspoon of the Pig
Arthritis formula per 20 lbs of body weight , if he weighs 40 lbs.
you give him 2 teaspoons twice a day, if he weighs 60 lbs, 3 teaspoons or
a tablespoon twice a day, and if he weighs 10 lb, you give him a half a
teaspoon. So it depends what
weight category he falls into. And
again, thereĺs no reason he canĺt live to be 100, and usually these
youngsters with these types of congenital birth defects die of some
nutritional deficiency disease. And
so by giving him all 90 essential nutrients,
you will extend his life enormously.
You are welcome.
Kingmaker has found what I consider the best solution in my lifetime for sinus - headache, congestion or dried up as well as sleep apnea. From personal experience I recommend it to you:
In a
base of colloidal silver and tea tree oil, it ever so
gently and quickly relieves any sinus problem I have (and that's plenty
living in Florida!). I hope it does the same for you!
The University of Arizona Medical School took 1300
people, put them on 250-500mcg Selenium, and for 10 years
they looked at them for skin cancer.
And it didnĺt help skin cancer, we know that, because Selenium
doesnĺt work for skin cancer. Zinc,
and Beta Carotene and Vitamin E works for skin cancer.
What they found out serendipitously, they werenĺt expecting
this, it just sort of popped out of the study, they were able to reduce esophageal
cancer by 71%, they were able to reduce prostate cancer
by 69% fellows, better than two thirds, they were able to reduce colon
and rectal cancer by 64%, almost two thirds, they were able to
reduce lung cancer, whether you smoked or not, by 48%, and
ladies, in a parallel study from the University of California by the great
Dr. Gerhardt Schrauser, he said you can reduce your risk of breast
cancer, depending on the type of breast cancer, by 50-85%, by
taking 250 to 500 mcg (of Selenium)
I have personally found that the most benefit I have ever had for my problem skin is CELL SHIELD RTQ which contains Resveratrol, Tumeric and Quercetin.

Then in laboratory, Oh I should tell you too, we said this on the show today, those of
you who may not have heard it, some of you didn't hear the whole show. The first symptoms
of a zinc deficiency is that you lose your sense of smell and your taste.
You say, "Ah, food just doesn't taste good anymore," and you don't have a cold
or anything like that. And you say, your wife says, "Aren't you excited about dinner?
I spent the whole day in the kitchen cooking dinner." He says, "Well, I didn't
smell anything when I walked in". You know he's got a zinc deficiency.
FORMULAS/Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:
Q: Dr.
Wallach, are baby formulas enough
for our babies when they are born?
A: Unfortunately
not. Our formulas we give to
dogs, or kittens, have 40 minerals in them, including the minerals
lithium, chromium, vanadium, selenium.
Ralston Purina laboratory rat pellets contain 28 minerals,
including lithium, chromium, vanadium, selenium.
Thereĺs not a single human milk replacer on the market on or off
the shelf of a grocery store that has more than 12 minerals.
None of them contain lithium, chromium, vanadium and only 2, Pro
Soy Bean and Enfamil have Selenium in them.
And itĺs tragic that we give our dogs 40 minerals and our rats 28
and our kids 12 or less, you can begin to see why we spend 1.2 trillion
dollars for healthcare last year.
You can begin to see why we only live to be 75.5, half of our genetic potential for longevity of 120 to 140, why we only ranked 17th in longevity and 19th in healthfulness, simply because we donĺt get the basic raw material to develop properly and maintain the repair of cells from the very beginning. Iĺll give you a tragic example. Sudden infant death syndrome is something everybody is familiar with. We eliminated sudden infant death syndrome in animals back in 1950ĺs because farmers canĺt afford to lose 2 or 3 or 5% of the baby animals they are raising to sudden infant death syndrome. And we learned it was due to a deficiency of the trace mineral, Selenium, causing sudden death in the most robust and healthiest of the baby animals in the group or the herd or the flock, and we eliminated it simply by giving the pregnant mothers Selenium.
Here's an attorney. You're not a doctor, are you sir? She was so
famous, she was from Detroit, aged 44, Ellen Joyce Alter. She was in the
New York Times obituary, she made the big time. Of course she probably had
steel buns because she belonged to one of those private health clubs. All
these gals want steel buns, you know, doing their little exercises. But
she didn't have expensive urine, because she died of a ruptured
cerebral aneurysm. When they don't do an autopsy, the symptoms
could be called a stroke, or subdural hemorrhage. Very frequently they are
caused by a ruptured aneurysm, which is a copper
deficiency. She didn't have expensive urine.

Online streaming is bigger than ever, and with so many streaming services adding new shows and movies every week, it can be nearly impossible to sort through the good and the bad. If you need something to watch and don't want to wade through the digital muck that washes up on the internet's shores, follow our picks below for the best new shows and movies worth a watch.
This week: A new comedy series, a rock documentary from Jim Jarmusch, and more.
Crashing season 1
The format of this artsy, autobiographical comedy series is nothing new — Louis C.K. and Larry David have been portraying dark versions of themselves on television for years now. The new HBO show Crashing, starring Pete Holmes, follows their lead. In the show based on the comedian's personal life, Holmes plays "Pete," a man who decides to become a stand-up comic after he discovers his wife (Lauren Lapkus) is having an affair. Crashing on couches as he tries to build a career, Pete gets help from other comedians — Artie Lange, Sarah Silverman, and T.J. Miller all play themselves — and tries to bounce back from his failed marriage. What sets Crashing apart from similar shows like Louie is its steady optimism — this is a show that always leaves you feeling like better days are just around the corner.
Gimme Danger
The Stooges were probably one of the most overlooked bands of the 1960s and '70s, which is a shame, as they are also one of rock music's most important. Forming in the late '60s, the band's raw sound and intricate compositions did not lead to instant fame, but their influence can be felt in the generations of punk and alternative bands that followed. It is only fitting that director Jim Jarmusch, famous for his powerful, minimalist filmmaking, would direct Gimme Danger, a documentary exploring the personalities behind the band. Using a mix of archival footage and interviews with band members in the present, the film explores the short, turbulent career of these talented musical provocateurs. Gimme Danger does not break new ground in rock documentaries, but it is undoubtedly a passion project, lovingly crafted and refreshingly earnest.
Samurai Gourmet season 1
Based on a manga by Masayuki Kusumi, this strange live-action series follows a retired businessman named Takeshi Kasumi (Naoto Takenaka), who, freed from his duties as a salaryman, finds satisfaction in wandering and eating at various restaurants. Imagining himself as a modern day ronin, Takeshi undergoes a radical transformation. Samurai Gourmet revels in gustatory pleasures, with long, loving shots of pork grilling and beer pouring. At times, one might mistake it for a cooking show like Chef's Table, rather than an offbeat comedy.
Archer seasons 1-6
After a string of short-lived but well-liked shows on Adult Swim, Adam Reed found mainstream success with Archer, a long-running and acclaimed animated series on FX. The show follows a spy named Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin), a narcissistic, alcoholic playboy who always manages to get the job done. Archer and his fellow agents — originally employed at an organization called ISIS, before real life events rendered the name a bit awkward — carry out missions around the world. The show is funny and often surprisingly smart — how many cartoons are clever enough to include a joke about non-diegetic music? One of the most remarkable things about the show is how it has been able to experiment with genres and frequently reinvent itself; beginning as a straightforward James Bond parody, Archer has become one of the most adventurous shows on television.
If one knew nothing else about Coraline, the pedigree behind the film would be enough to recommend it. Director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and animation studio Laika adapted the film from the novel by Neil Gaiman, and the result is one of the best — and most disturbing — animated films in recent memory. The movie follows a young girl named Coraline (Dakota Fanning), who moves into a new house with her parents, who areintensely focused on their work. Wandering the house, Coraline finds a portal to another world, where she meets doppelgängers of her parents, who have black buttons where their eyes should be. Although the people of this other world dote on her, she soon learns they have sinister intentions. While many animated films draw on fairy tales for inspiration, Coraline channels the darkness of those old stories, making for a creepy, cautionary tale that can unsettle even adults.

Hi! I can't believe we're in the double digits of April already. The weather is finally beginning to shape up here in Pittsburgh. We had our first thunderstorm of the season the other night. I like thunderstorms, but they also scare me. During the storm, Jimmy was cracking up at me running around the house closing our windows and saying "Whoa, it's really bad out there!" ha.
It's been a while since I last completed the current survey, so I thought I'd do it again because it's fun to be able to look back and see what was going on in my life in the past. Things have definitely changed since 2013!
Current book(s) – Stones for Bread by Christa Parrish, The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, and the Chronological Bible!
Current guilty pleasure – Relaxing on a weeknight. Lately, Jimmy and I have been go-go-go all week (and weekend), so occasionally having absolutely nothing to do after work is heavenly!
Current music – Nothing. I'm so boring. I usually listen to audio books while I drive instead of the radio.
Current nail color – Again, I'm boring… I just have a clear coat on my nails. I guess that kind of fulfills the goal of taking care of my nails this year.
Current food – Everything Indian. I'm totally obsessed. Even back in the early days of my blog, I had a deep love for curry and all things Indian. I've been to a few amazing Indian restaurants in Pittsburgh (Zaiaka and India Garden), and have recently tired my hand at chana masala and chicken tikka masala. Our spice cabinet is filled with garam masala, coriander, turmeric, cumin, and curry powder. Our cabinets also feature coconut milk and chickpeas. Yep, totally obsessed. Next on my list to make: red kidney bean curry, baingan bharta, and naan.
Current television show – Shark Tank and almost anything on HGTV. Jimmy and I just discovered Shark Tank a couple of months ago and we're hooked (ha.. get it?!). As for HGTV, I really enjoy Property Virgins, House Hunters, and Caribbean Life, but I'll watch pretty much anything on that channel. Before Jimmy and I house hunted last year, my parents used to watch HGTV and I thought it was so boring. Now I totally understand their enthusiasm for all things home and garden! Sorry mom and dad!
Current wish list – To see my family soon! They all went to Florida and I miss them a ton. I'm having fun pet sitting my brother's dog, though!
Current needs – A box of tissues. I caught a cold and used all of our tissues. I woke up in the middle of night with a stuffy nose last night, so I ended up bringing a roll of toilet paper with me to bed. So classy 😉
Current indulgence – Blogging right now! I should be doing a million other things around the house, but I just really want to blog.
Current blessing – The weather! Spring has sprung, and it's a huge blessing.
Current excitement – An upcoming trip with Jimmy! We might be going on our first vacation (since our honeymoon) this weekend, and I'm super excited! I think we're going to stay the night at a hotel in West Virginia, and hang out around Wheeling the next day. Can't wait!
Tell me something current in your life!

What the T-Rex is to dinosaurs, the Great White is to sharks—the top-of-the-food-chain granddaddy of them all. These toothsome carnivores grow up to 5,000 pounds and 20 feet long; they are the largest predatory fish on Earth. That's why it's safest to view them from within the confines of a cage. If the company's track record continues, you can expect to see seven Great Whites on a five-day cage-diving trip with Great White Adventures. Excursions are offered from August through October in the warm, crystal-clear blue waters (some of the best in the world for viewing Great Whites) off of Isla Guadalupe, near Mexico's Baja California coast.
Dubbed the peregrine falcons of the shark world for their torpedo-like bodies, Shortfin Makos are the fastest of all sharks. Many can cruise along comfortably at 22 miles per hour, and one was clocked swimming a bullet-like 46 mph. They can even leap up out of the water, up to 20 feet in the air. These athletic creatures are most commonly found in warmer waters. San Diego-based Shark Chums runs regular diving trips out to the Mako-filled waters off of southern California.
These 6.5-foot-long predators are one of the most common sharks in the Indo-Pacific. They're most often found in shallow waters, in lagoons and near coral reefs, so swimming alongside them also means spotting plenty of other interesting sealife: colorful fishes, turtles and anemones. Maldives Dive Travel has a fleet of 11 live-aboard dive ships and offers multi-day excursions for spotting Grey Reef Sharks.
The prehistoric Six-Gill Shark is a deep-sea creature that dwells up to 6,000 feet below the ocean's surface. Little surprise, then, that spotting one of these 20-foot-long fish is a rarity. But on one of Shark Diver's unique submarine-based dive excursions, you can venture 2,000 feet beneath the sea into the Cayman Trench off of Honduras, and spot massive Six-Gills in their native habitat. Shark Diver's specially designed submarines carry up to three people for six-hour dives.
Call them Miss Congeniality. With their silvery skin and dark oval spots, Leopard Sharks are among the prettiest of the finned fishes, and they're some of the most people-friendly, too. In aquariums, Leopard Sharks are often those on display in interactive aquariums, in which little kids can touch the four- to seven-foot-long creatures. They're often found in shallow waters or reef areas. You can spot some off the coast of Australia, in the Coral Sea, on a six-day sailing-and-dive trip with Undersea Explorer.
Don't let those sharp teeth fool you: Tawny Nurse Sharks are so docile, they often let divers come right up and touch their fins. They're found in the Indo-Pacific region, and their friendly, curious nature is one reason diving is so popular in the waters off of Thailand and India. Their name comes from their ability to vacuum up fish and crabs out of reefs, using a powerful sucking motion with its throat—just like a baby nursing. They grow up to 10.5 feet long, and their skin color fluctuates between gray and brown, depending on their surroundings. Wicked Diving offers day trips to the nine granite Similan Islands for spotting Tawnies.
What better way to celebrate the official Mexican Day of the Whale Shark, on August 30th (yes, it is an official holiday), than by snorkeling alongside these gentle giants? They may be the biggest fish in the world—at up to 40 feet long and weighing in at 50 tons, with mouths that open as wide as five feet—but since they only eat plankton, it's safe as can be to swim alongside them. The black-and-white spotted behemoths come to the waters off of Punta Sam each summer to feed, from mid-May through September. You can opt for a daylong snorkeling trip with Swim With Whale Sharks or a multi-day outing with Natural Habitat Adventures.
These small sharks are named for their buttery yellow skin color. Most grow no larger than 12 feet long, but they have been known to attack humans—though it's usually attributed to fright rather than aggression. Lemon sharks are found mostly off the coast of the southeastern United States and also in the Gulf of Mexico. Jupiter Dive Center, out of Jupiter, Florida, just north of West Palm Beach, offers daylong diving trips to the Florida Reef, a favorite Lemon homesite.
Sneaking up on a hammerhead is next to impossible: Thanks to the positioning of their eyes—set on the sides of their distinctive hammer-shaped snout—they have virtual 360-degree vision. That's why it's best to get help from the experts if you hope to spot one in the wild. The folks at Quasar Expeditions have homed in on specific locations, including Wolf Island, in the Galapagos chain, off of Ecuador, where divers can swim alongside schools of hundreds of hammerheads. These sharks, which can grow up to 14 feet in length, can be spotted year-round in this area. Diving excursions are an optional add-on to all cruise expeditions with Quasar Expeditions, while Galapagos Diving offers more scuba-intensive weeklong trips.
Few marine creatures are as intimidating as the bull shark. The carnivorous fish grow 11.5 feet in length and 500 pounds in weight. Scientists consider them one of the most aggressive and predatory species in the sea. That may be enough warning for most to stay away, but if flirting with deep-sea danger appeals, then you can sign up for Beqa Adventure Divers' day-long Shark Dive outings in the protected waters off of Fiji. June is peak season for spotting these migratory animals, though they arrive in the waters off of Fiji as early as mid-May. You might also spot grey reef sharks, Pacific blacktips, whitetip reef sharks, sicklefin lemon sharks, silvertips, tawny nurse sharks and Fiji tiger sharks here this time of year.
Second only to Great Whites in attacking humans, tiger sharks have a well-deserved reputation as predators. But it's not people—or even smaller fish—that they're specifically after. Tiger sharks have a very undiscerning palette and will chomp down just about anything. Studies of captured tiger sharks have found everything from license plates to old tires in their stomachs. They're called the Wastebaskets of the Sea for a reason. The Bahamas-based Shark Diver outfit offers seven-day sailing and scuba trips out of Grand Bahamas Island aboard a 65-foot dive vessel. Along with tigers, you may see Caribbean Reef sharks and eagle rays.
These nocturnal creatures spend their days snoozing in reef caves. Due to their small size—they rarely grow longer than 5.5 feet—Whitetips usually share sleeping quarters; divers may happen upon several stacked on top of each other in one cave. Oahu Diving offers day trips around the island, including excursions to Sharks Cove, off the North Shore, near Haleiwa.

As soon as I arrived in Lauterbrunnen I dropped my bags and went exploring the quiet village nestled in the valley of the Swiss mountains before dinner. With only a couple days to explore Switzerland, I let no time waste. The glacier formed valley in the alps had so much character and charm. Each house had different coloured shutters and flower boxes adorning each window. The steeple of the beautiful stone church in the center of town reached towards heaven. The ringing bells echoed throughout the town and transported me to a simpler time. The picturesque cemetery behind the church was enclosed by a cast iron fence and the headstones were laden with multicolored flowers and surrounded by vibrant green grass. A cemetery says a lot about a community and this one is cared for with pride and love from cherished memories of loved ones; it was one of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever seen. This is Switzerland!
I started my second day in Switzerland by hiking up behind Staubbachfall Waterfall and exploring the rock gallery–Lauterbrunnen's landmark and Europe's highest free-falling waterfall at 297 metres. The mist and spray from the waterfall soaked me as I inched closer and closer to the falls. The view from behind the waterfall of Lauterbrunnen was amazing. It truly is the most perfectly picturesque town. After my waterfall hike, I explored the town via its one main street. A stop in the local Swiss Army Knife shop was a must! I picked up a green limited edition Swiss Amy Knife for my boyfriend which can only be purchased in Switzerland. After exploring the town, I headed towards the cable cars to plan my exploration in the Swiss Alps.
After a short look at the destinations at the station, I planned my trip to visit Grutschalp, Winteregg, Murren, and Allmendhubel via cable cars, train pulley cars, and hiking to experience Alpine villages and get the best views of the Swiss Skyline. I headed straight to Allmendhubel at 6257 feet in the Alps with 150 different types of alpine flora (i.e. gentians, alpine roses, and edelweiss) along the flower trail on the Kneipp path and flower trail on Murren's home mountain. The skyline panorama view of the Swiss alps was out of this world from the unique mountain top chill seats . I could have chilled there all day.
After a steep train ride down from Allmendhubel my next stop was Murren, an alpine village 5374 feet in the Swiss Alps. The wooden chalets and traditional homes scattered throughout were authentic and genuine. The sunny terrace high above Lauterbrunnen valley is a traditional Swiss community almost close enough to touch Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau mountains. The natural village is home to Alpine skiing and snow sports. Free riders and the worlds largest group of amateur ski racers flock to Murren for its 15.8km race hosting 1850 people. After Murren, I took the train to Winteregg to then hike down to Grutschalp (4379 ft).
The hike down part of the Swiss Alps is a memory I will have forever. Mountain goats curiously walked past while grazing on alpine vegetation. Bells around cows necks could be heard jingling from a distance and echoed off the mountains (so farmers don't loose their animals in the Alps). The incredible views of the surrounding mountains and valley villages far below left me speechless. Even with the moments of drizzle in between moments of sun, it was the most unexpected view of my life. After a cable car and gondola ride back to Lauterbrunnen, I spent the evening in awe of everything I had seen. A traditional meal rounded out my spectacular visit in Switzerland.

Venetoclax shown to be effective in CLL patients who relapse or are refractory
Posted: 10 June 2016 | | No comments yet
New data show promising results for venetoclax in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia who have relapsed or become refractory (R/R) to treatment…
New data, presented at the 21st European Haematology Association (EHA) Annual Congress, show promising results for venetoclax as a monotherapy in difficult-to-treat patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) who have relapsed or become refractory (R/R) to treatment after receiving ibrutinib or idelalisib.
Venetoclax, a first-in-class oral B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitor, also demonstrated early and sustained impact on the progressive and severe impact of fatigue in patients with CLL who have the del(17p) gene mutation.
The therapy which has been granted a Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) designation by the MHRA, works quickly and effectively by targeting the BCL-2 protein, which regulates cell survival, restoring the body's ability to trigger cancer cell self-destruction (apoptosis).
Commenting on the results, Professor Peter Hillmen, Consultant Haematologist, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Coordinating Investigator of venetoclax studies in the UK said: "Until now when a patient relapsed on ibrutinib or idelalisib we had very limited treatment options and the patient's expected survival was very short. However, these initial results for venetoclax are very exciting giving an important treatment option for these very difficult-to-treat patients. The trial demonstrates that venetoclax could be an important, targeted option for those patients with CLL who have failed on prior therapy (including those with deletion of chromosome 17p in their CLL), and therefore have a poor prognosis. It is also very encouraging that venetoclax is demonstrating an improvement in the debilitating effects of fatigue in CLL as the disease has a major negative effect on quality of life."
"These important studies form part of our continuous efforts to understand the full potential of venetoclax and to further explore novel mechanisms of action in blood cancers," added Alice Butler, Medical Director, AbbVie UK.
The ongoing Phase II monotherapy study evaluated CLL patients, who were R/R and who had received venetoclax following previous therapy with BCR inhibitors, ibrutinib or idelalisib. The primary endpoints which will be evaluated at the end of the study are overall response rate (ORR) and safety. Initial results show that in R/R CLL patients who had previously used ibrutinib (n=38), venetoclax showed activity in 61% of patients, including a response in 14/22 refractory patients. In R/R CLL patients who had previously used idelalisib (n=10), venetoclax showed activity in 50% of patients, including a response in 3/5 refractory patients. Safety results were shown to be consistent with prior reports. The most common adverse events were neutropenia ,diarrhoea, nausea, anaemia, fatigue and hyperphosphatemia.
Patients on venetoclax experiences an improvement in quality of life
Secondly, in early results of a sub-analysis of the pivotal registration study M13-982 evaluating patients ≥18 years of age with R/R del(17p) CLL, patient-reported (health-related quality of life) HRQoL measures were an exploratory endpoint using two separate scales (EORTCQLQC30 and EORTCQLQCLL16). Overall, patients on venetoclax experienced an improvement in symptoms and quality of life and not only were they significant improvements, but they exceeded the thresholds for minimally important differences. Fatigue was shown to improve across both scales and scores on how patients view their future health and increased by more than 20 points from baseline over 24 weeks.
Venetoclax is currently under review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is being evaluated in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of R/R CLL, along with earlier phase studies in several other cancers.

Dishonored: The Knife Of Dunwall DLC Review
Due to the power of democracy, Assassin's Creed III received its well deserved due as our 2012 Game of the Year victor. However, although Connor's stealthy adventure was both memorable and very well made, it wasn't my first overall pick. Instead, that went to Dishonored – Arkane Studios' fantastic stealth-action/first-person shooter hybrid – which won me over with its great content, satisfying mechanics and general abundance of freedom. Despite being a risky venture as a new intellectual property, the title has cemented itself as being one of this generation's best releases, and will be a hard one to forget.
In Dishonored, players assume the identity of Corvo, the Empress' bodyguard. After being framed for his boss' murder, the skilled swordsman is forced to go to great lengths to try to clear his name. It's a tale of mistaken assumptions and the art of framing, presenting an assortment of rich, stealth-filled missions.
Now that the game has been out for a while, developer Arkane Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks have partnered to extend its life cycle and maintain its popularity with the release of The Knife of Dunwall. Acting as the title's second downloadable content pack, the three mission-long add-on happens to be the first story-based one thus far. As you may recall, a series of challenging and thought provoking trials preceded it.
Adding depth to an already engaging storyline, The Knife of Dunwall begins where its peer did, with the assassination of the city's Empress. The difference here, though, is that this new mini-campaign is centred upon Daud, the leader of the Whalers, and the one responsible for actually killing the high profile target. His narration provides a new, and quite interesting layer to the experience, by providing us with a look behind the mask.
Seemingly the first part of a two-part arc, Daud's storyline sees him searching for answers. Although the Empress was yet another job, something about it felt different, and the veteran assassin knew that killing her would forever change his life. That's something which we are told right at the beginning of the story arc, and it rings true. In fact, it's even said that he laid low for six months before attempting to look for answers, a quest that is initiated by the first mission included within this install file.
Content-wise, Dishonored and its first canon downloadable content pack are very similar. Both Corvo and Daud play similarly, employing nearly identical gameplay mechanics. The main difference here, however, is that the evil one, if you will, has the ability to summon his pals to do his dirty work. That, in turn, makes things a bit easier, because multiple enemies can become distracted by said maneuver, allowing players to sneak up behind them and deliver a blade into their organs. That said, the option is only available as a power, meaning that it drains magic and must be unlocked through the use of a relic. Those who would prefer to make things more difficult for themselves can opt to not bother with it – something I unknowingly did during the first mission.
Another thing that benefits Daud is the fact that he can call in favours. Although that's a term that could easily be used to describe the summons mentioned above, the favours are a different option, and present themselves at the beginning of the first two missions. If you're familiar with the game, you'll recall that items and upgrades can be purchased throughout its course. That's true here, with arc mines and a stunning dust grenade being available for purchase, and favours are offered as the third part of the pre-mission menu. Examples include a safe code being scribbled on a wall, a relic being placed in a highlighted area, and extra whale oil canisters being left at a guard post. It's not make or break stuff, of course, but it's a helpful addition.
Much like a lot of the other downloadable content packages I've reviewed over the last while, The Knife of Dunwall isn't overly long. At ten dollars (or 800 Microsoft Points), it offers three new environments and missions, but nothing more. The good news is that, as with the main game, the missions are lengthy and challenging, requiring skill to progress. As such, the first two can take upwards of an hour or longer to complete, and will take completionists longer because of collectible searching endeavours. The third mission is shorter, but it's still of decent length.
Normally, I tend to complain about length when it comes to more expensive add-ons like this one. This time around, however, the three or so hours of runtime didn't bug me as much. Although more content would've been appreciated, there's quite a bit to sink one's teeth into here. It's obvious that the developers put a lot of thought and work into creating this Daud-centric story, and they've delivered campaign missions that are of high quality. Despite being somewhat short, this obviously isn't an afterthought or a money grab. On top of that, it offers a lot of replay value, because there are various ways to go through each mission.
In the end, Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall is an easy recommendation. It's not without a bit of slowdown, and is shorter than most would prefer, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. Not only that, but its storyline is both interesting and intriguing, setting the stage for a potential second act.
This review is based on the Xbox 360 version of the game, which we were provided with.
Despite being a bit on the short side, The Knife of Dunwall, Arkane Studios' first story-based add-on for Dishonored, is a fun and thoroughly interesting add-on that complements an already great game.

Obesity is a real problem in the United States and especially here in the San Joaquin Valley. It is affecting our children and youth more than ever and is causing major health problems for our adults. Clearly this is one of Fresno's greatest challenges.
Luckily, we also live in an area where it is easy to adapt to a new and healthier lifestyle- Fresno is made for outdoor play! In fact, it is one of the main components of the Fresno Brand Platform– California's Year-Round Playground.
Spring seems to hit Fresno a month early every year and lasts into May and those sunny and gorgeous days just beg to be played in.
Summers can be hot- and for a few weeks there in July and August downright scorching, but they're also great for evening swimming. Summer mornings are beautiful and perfect for a walk or run.
Our Autumn season seems to last for only a few fleeting moments when the heat turns down a notch in October, in a week of crisp but still manageable-in-a-t-shirt weather before the chill comes in. However- our Winters are so mild that they're really like Autumn everywhere else, so of course outdoor fitness is great all Fall and Winter too.
We have biking trails, walking trails, and playgrounds galore – just like adults, kids need that 30 minutes or more of physical activity!
Starting a new healthy routine can seem daunting, but Fresno also has several supportive communities to help get your program up and running- many of them free or cheap. Spark People is a huge website for calorie counting, tracking fitness and connecting with other people trying to lose weight, and SparkFresno is the official spark team of Fresno. They have meet ups monthly, and chat in message boards offering support and advice all for FREE! There are also always programs like Central Valley's Greatest Loser, Team in Training, and joining your local roller derby team *ahem* to get support and make friends while getting in shape.
But really, back on the roller derby thing– I know I harp on it a lot- its my passion- BUT there are all kinds of fun sports to get into here even as an adult. Rugby, Kickball, Roller Derby, Petanque, If you're game, there probably is a sport for you to play. If you love to ride your bike, you can find a likeminded community in iBike Fresno. We have great BMX Track at Woodward Park, too!
Trails, teams, and beautiful sunny days aside, there is one more reason why Fresno is conducive to making healthy changes, and I've touched on it before- the produce!
Everyone knows that the foundation of a good diet lies in getting full servings of veggies and fruit. We live somewhere where making this happen can never get boring. You can join a CSA if you're adventurous and want a variety of fresh fruits and veggies every week- even in the dead of winter your box will be filled with beautiful treats all in season and filled with nutrients that you probably can't even pronounce.
Finally, we're close to some of the most beautiful places in the united states for skiing, hiking, cycling and surfing. I don't like to point people out of Fresno, but in this case it can't be overlooked. Within a few hours you can be skiing Sierra Summit or hiking Half Dome. You can be enjoying the surf at the beach of your choice in anywhere from 2 hours to 8, try doing that in Iowa.
Sure, we have tasty hamburgers*, but we have the perfect places to work off the calories, whats not to love about Fresno?
(Photo stolen from… somewhere.)
*I am a firm believer in moderation not restriction. If I had to live life knowing I could never taste a cheeseburger again I probably wouldn't live long enough to see another day of Fiber One cereal. Fresno has definitely done me right on the healthy lifestyle front, i don't like to pay much for anything so the walking trails are a godsend. If you're looking to start down a healthier path but don't know where to start or need support I'm always down to be a buddy!
**I didn't mean to get all preachy or anything, I know there is nothing more irritating than an enthusiastic dork.
Fresno is a wonderful place and your blog is an inspiration and pick-me-up for those days when I feel down on Fresno. Thank you!

Hecker had dealt with the subject before in a roman à clef comic for the cover of the Houston-based magazine ArtLies. But in Primary Colors fashion, Houston readers spent more time salaciously speculating on what details were based in reality, rather than considering it as artwork.
The current works are more oblique than the comic project. With an odd prescience, Hecker began the series while still enjoying domestic bliss. They began as an exercise in inserting herself emotionally into her paintings. Appropriating the Hello Kitty cartoon sidekick, Chococat, a small black kitten, and his friend, a small yellow duck, Hecker set out to explore different emotions like grief and loss. When her life underwent drastic change, the paintings became a way of working through the experience.
Hecker admits she had a prejudice against personal narrative in art. It's tough to pull off without a level of narcissism, to make art about you relevant to other people. But by "locating the discussion in the popular culture," Hecker transforms a personal experience into a surprisingly effective allegory of emotion.
The paintings are hung salon-style on opposite walls of the (now book-free) Texas Gallery. "Explosion" paintings (in the same vein as fight scene graphics from the old Batman TV show) are scattered among figurative works featuring the mute Chococat and ducky. Neither character has a mouth; instead, they become wide-eyed silent participants.
The paintings combine flatly painted cartoon images with Hecker's velvety, hyperreal airbrush. In Finding Solace in Friends (2001), Chococat, his head hanging sadly, sits leaning against a kitschy airbrushed ceramic deer. The deer seems to cock her head and listen understandingly. The vignette is set against a background of vertical stripes in melancholic grayed tones of purple, blue and green. Skillfully blending the cute, absurd and pitiful, Hecker's work pulls a bittersweet laugh/cry response.
In a comically vicious piece, an evil peg-legged plastic pirate stands with the ducky perched in one plastic hand. His other hand holds a sword displaying the kitty's skewered heart. Chococat's body lies dead, the bottoms of his paws facing the viewer. "Now we can go shopping," the text reads.
The explosion paintings are hard-edged, stylized bursts of vibrant color that crop up as pissed exclamation points. Some erupt in the center with words like "Liar!" "Bitch!" "Pig!" or "Ho!" Other wordless explosions read as a kind of wince, an indefinable burst of a jaw-clenching anger and pain.
The paintings skip from images of sadness to anger to despair to hope. The process mimics the bursts of conflicting feelings experienced by humans.
It is an incredibly tight and effective body of work, strengthened by the clustered installation. Hecker has always been skilled at appropriating pop-cultural elements for her own purposes. But in her most recent series, she has managed to invest vapidly cute Hello Kitty spin-off characters with a poignant emotional richness. That is a helluva thing to pull off.
Speaking Spanish meant you had to stand with your nose against the wall. Such was the climate for Adan Hernandez and his fellow students at San Antonio's Edgewood High School in the 1960s. Failing grades were the punishment for continuing to speak in their native language. Hernandez, who had been a straight-A student prior to his arrival at Edgewood High, dropped out and got his GED instead. His grades won him a scholarship to San Antonio College, where he studied art before leaving in frustration. Believing there were no successful Chicano artists he could identify with, Hernandez felt the art world was not an option.
He went to work -- as a laborer, a carpenter, a waiter. He continued to paint, to the chagrin of his landlords, on the walls and windows of his apartments. In 1980, at the urging of his fiancée, he began to focus on art full time. But in 1991, director Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman) decided to use Hernandez's paintings in his film Blood In...Blood Out, a story of three cousins in East L.A., one of them an artist. As a result of the movie, Hernandez sold ten years' worth of work to various Hollywood figures, producer Oliver Stone included, with one of his paintings going for $60,000. The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired two paintings for its permanent collection.
Hernandez's bio of hardship and talent could be an all-American feel-good film, except that Hernandez succeeded in spite of America, rather than because of it. Hernandez is included in "El Espejo: Arte Latino from Texas," at ArtScan Gallery/ Rudolf Projects. The collection of work (the title is Spanish for "the mirror") draws on Latino culture.
Hernandez's painting La Migra Is Zapped by Illegal Aliens (2001) is a darkly comic work. With kinetic brushwork and a lurid nocturnal luminescence, Hernandez depicts illegal aliens (pun intended) in a spaceship taking revenge on the border patrol. Lasers shoot down from the flying saucer as the federal agents scatter in this gleeful revenge fantasy.
With his own flair for the cinematic, Vincent Valdez creates chiaroscuro charcoal drawings of boxers in defeat and triumph. With a Little Luck, Faith, God...and a Six-Pack (2002) presents El Pollo, The Great, a wiry little bantam rooster of a man sporting trunks emblazoned with "Macho" on the waistband. A rooster decorates one bicep, a woman adorns the other. He squints out through swollen eyes, his hair brushed up like a cock's comb. Above him, drapes are drawn back to reveal a host of clichéd Latino images.
Another portrait drawn from sport/ spectacle is Angel Rodriguez-Diaz's El Hijo del Santo (2001). It represents a masked wrestler from the world of Lucha Libre, the WWF of Mexico. His eyes peer out from a shining gold lamé hood, his head filling the canvas with only the tops of his crossed and clenched fists visible. The hyperreal rendering and close cropping create a sense of compressed power.
Juan Ramos has Sofia's Map (2001). He creates line drawing portraits and digitally colors and inserts them into photographic "sets" of everyday scenes populated by realistically animated characters.
Delilah Montoya contributes Guadalupe en Piel, Armijo (2000), a photograph of a man's tattooed torso emblazoned with the Virgin of Guadeloupe and the Crucifixion. It's a 360-degree image, digitally unraveled and flattened, printed in black and white on transparent Mylar -- "flayed" in Aztec fashion. The photo work is a visual melding of Catholic and indigenous elements of sacrifice.
Artists such as Adan Hernandez don't have to stand with their noses against the wall anymore in the art world. But now that it is finally opening up to them, there is a new danger that their work will be segregated because of these same cultural roots. Exhibitions focused on heritage can be a substitute for including artists in a larger dialogue. Just as with Hernandez's early education, art consistently categorized solely by ethnicity can lead to a "separate but equal status" that is anything but equal.

THE HELLCAT SAINTS Supergroup Feat. ALICE IN CHAINS, THE CULT Members Added To 'Rhonda's Kiss' Benefit ConcertNovember 28, 2017
Rhonda's Kiss, an organization that helps cancer patients in need, last month announced that JANE'S ADDICTION will headline the third annual benefit concert on Friday, December 8 at the Palladium in Hollywood. The L.A. based collective THE HELLCAT SAINTS — Jerry Cantrell (ALICE IN CHAINS),Josh Freese (DEVO, NINE INCH NAILS),Billy Duffy (THE CULT),Dave Kushner (VELVET REVOLVER),Franky Perez (APOCALYPTICA),Scott Shriner (WEEZER),and many more — will open the show. Proceeds from the concert event will benefit the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute and further the mission of Rhonda's Kiss, supporting programs to assist cancer patients, and helping those who receive a cancer diagnosis make ends meet during treatment.
Tickets for the one-night-only concert are available here.
Perry Farrell describes the event: "Rhonda's Kiss is a most unique charity, as they have considered what most organizations overlook; which is how are patients going to pay their bills while in treatment? …the answer is Rhonda's Kiss."
"At Cedars-Sinai, it is our mission to treat the cancer patient as a whole, rather than just the disease," said Amin Mirhadi, MD, radiation oncologist at the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute. "We are proud to collaborate with the Rhonda's Kiss foundation to help us achieve that."
"Raising money for cancer is a reminder that every day, people are struggling with the disease and need the support to maintain their dignity and fight," said Kyle Stefanski, CEO of Rhonda's Kiss. "We are blessed to have strong support from artists such as JANE'S ADDICTION, the public, and hospitals like Cedars-Sinai to be able to help more and more people fight this terrible disease."
In 2014, Rhonda Stefanski was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. While she lost her battle, one of the greatest gifts she left was to create Rhonda's Kiss, an event to raise money to help those in the inner city who receive a cancer diagnosis, but may be unable to make ends meet for treatment and support. Through the Rhonda's Kiss Los Angeles event and with proceeds benefiting Cedars-Sinai, Rhonda's Kiss provides financial support to decrease late-stage cancer diagnosis in urban communities, and primarily for patients in financial need, by using a three-pronged approach: outreach (education, awareness and screening),navigation (medical and home) and patient services (treatment and financial assistance, and emotional support). Funds are distributed by local hospitals in areas where money is raised.

ARTIST: Doug Sahm
TITLE: The Genuine Texas Groover
YEAR RELEASED: Compilation
CHART ACTION: None
SINGLES: Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone, It's Gonna Be Easy, Texas Tornado
OTHER SONGS YOU MAY KNOW: Wallflower, Me & Paul, Ain't That Lovin' You
LINEUP: Doug Sahm and a whole bunch of friends and members of the Sir Douglas Quintet
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT: Sir Douglas Quintet leader's first two 'solo' albums (though one was credited to the Sir Douglas Band), plus some outtakes, are collected here.
SOME WORDS, PHRASES AND CLAUSES ABOUT THIS RECORD: With outlaw and country-rock coming to the fore in 1973 or so, Atlantic records signed Doug Sahm and allowed him to construct two album.
These records had their own charm, but are well away from "She's About a Mover" or "Mendocino". Incorporating his own interpretation of Texas country, rock, R&B, and Mexican music styles, and incorporating horns playing typical charts, Sahm's solo work for Atlantic probably confused the label with its eclecticism.
Dr. John and Bob Dylan make appearances, along with almost everyone Sahm's been in bands with or jammed alongside. It's probably more for someone who likes Sahm's amalgamation of country, tex-mex and R&B.
NOTES & MINUTIAE: This contains the Doug Sahm & Band (#125) and Texas Tornado albums
IS THERE A DELUXE VERSION: No.
GRADE: B: It's an interesting mix of styles, and Sahm's growl is cool.

Tropical Cooler
When it's warm outside and the sun is shining, I seem to long for a cold, fruity, and refreshing cocktail. Anyone else?
This week's cocktail certainly fits that description, and with the coconut water, it is super light too! Be careful though; these are so delish that you could easily sip on them all day long!
With coconut rum as the alcohol component, this tropical cooler goes down sweet and smooth. The cocktail will definitely be in my summer plans. It's perfect for a day at the beach with the girls!
To make this cocktail, you have a few options. The first choice you need to make is to use store-bought coconut water or fresh. I tried it both ways and the fresh coconut really enhanced the freshness of the flavors. However, the store bought coconut is MUCH faster and easier, and it still tastes amazing.
You need to make the same choice with the juice. If you have a juicer you can make quick work of a few oranges and a pineapple. If you don't have a juicer, pick up some orange pineapple juice at the market.
The mix of juice before the addition is super refreshing and hydrating due to the coconut water, so be sure to share with the kiddos! It is a great and flavorful way to help keep them hydrated while playing in the heat. Here in the south, where the high 90s and even one 100+ degree days are common, hydration is so important; and kids lose water quicker than adults so be sure to replenish those fluids. A fancy virgin cocktail may be just what they need to encourage drinking.
The cocktail is equal parts of juice and coconut water with a splash of grenadine and coconut rum. YUM! Feel free to make this a pitcher at a time. You'll want to share!

1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 cup orange pineapple juice
1 shot coconut rum
Splash of grenadine
Combine the coconut water, orange pineapple juice, and rum in a shaker filled with ice. Shake together and pour into a glass filled with ice. Add a splash of grenadine and garnish. If you want to make a pitcher it is better to refrigerate for a few hours since a shaker with ice isn't a feasible way to chill the cocktail. Add the grenadine to the glass when serving from the pitcher.
Happy Sipping!

Wearside pub chain hails growth across North East and Yorksire
Pub operator Wear Inns has recorded strong like-for-like growth in both food and drink sales after completing an overhaul of its estate.
The company says it has seen like-for-like net sales in the financial year to March 2016 of £13.6million, up 3.4% on the previous year, with food showing a rise of 8% and drink sales increasing by 2.7%
And the strong performance has continued into this year with sales up to June showing a 5.8% increase (drinks 6% and food 3.7%).
It comes after Wear Inns completed a review of all 26 pubs in the estate, investing in small refresh works, kitchen equipment and developing external areas, which is continuing into this year.
The company is also on the acquisition trail having just completed the purchase of The Whistlestop, within walking distance of Leeds United's Elland Road, with plans to spend over £170,000 installing a new kitchen to allow it to serve a wider range of food, as well as refurbishing the pub's interior and making a feature of the outside patio area.
Most Popular
Wear Inns managing director John Weir said: "We are delighted by the performance of all our pubs. The growth has been driven by increased footfall as a result of promotions, new products, a better environment, our improved food offering, and great staff.
"We have seen a real confidence in our local marketplaces. We have more people popping in for food and a couple of drinks after work, while Sunday lunch continues to draw in customers."
Weir said, while there had been growth across the board, especially the likes of The Lambton Arms in Chester-le-Street; Ox Inn, Stanley; The White Bear, Barnsley; Priory,York; Victoria, Whitley Bay and The New Inn Wetherby, had all seen a significant increase in trade.
"Over the past year we have introduced a number of new products including Staropramen, Birra Moretti and the Strongbrow dark fruits range alongside a wider range of cask ales and spirits, especially new gins and vodkas," said Weir. "The fruit ciders in particular have proved popular. We have also seen more women coming with friends to our pubs which has contributed to a significant increase in sales of Prosecco and cocktails.
"We also now have the facility to change our menus every six or seven weeks if required, keeping the offer fresh, with the introduction of new menu dishes and our wider range of burgers all making significant contributions to our strong food sales, but also retaining our traditional dishes which are at the heart of our menus.
"We have had fantastic support for our strategy of providing great value, all day, every day from our suppliers – Heineken, Molson Coors, Bidvest and Regal Gaming – which has enabled us to run a number of successful promotions, particularly around sport. We do have a number of promotions running for Euro 2016 so hopefully England can help us by going far in the tournament."
Weir said the company had agreed to sell The New Inn Durham having undertaken a property review and long term view of return on investment but is still looking to expand its portfolio. Any new site must be at the right price and a good fit with the rest of its estate – something which hasn't been easy to find though several sites are currently under consideration in both the North East and Yorkshire.
A new package for weddings, Christenings, parties and other events is also being created to support the growing demand at those pubs which have function rooms.
"It has been challenging at times but it is very gratifying to see our investment pay off," said Weir. "We have a great team of local, entrepreneurial managers and staff focussed on delivering the best pub experience. The positive feedback we have received from both regular and new customers is being translated into sales putting us on a strong footing for further growth."
Wear Inns recently made the Investec Mid Market 100 list, ranking the fastest growing companies in the UK with a turnover of over £10 million, for the second time, the only pub company to achieve that
It follows the London Stock Exchange highlighting the company in its report, 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain, celebrating the country's most dynamic and fastest-growing small and medium sized businesses.
Wear Inns, which has its headquarters in the old offices of the Castle Eden Brewery in County Durham, is the biggest independent freehold managed operator in the region in terms of volume of beer sold.
Since Weir and the company's chairman John Sands formed Wear Inns in 2006, the workforce has grown from 105 to 290.
