Independent filmmakers should take notice of this movie. Shoestring budget+good acting+great story= success. That is a formula for success in my honest opinion, and Chronicle followed through in every way according to the formula. The found footage concept of the movie could have come off as contrived and played out, but this was just awesome. It was also great that the audience got an explanation as to why everything was being filmed by the characters. This placed right below the mother of all found footage movies, Cloverfield, in my opinion. That is not taking anything away from this movie when you consider that Cloverfield is up there in terms of my favorite movies.
My favorite aspect of the movie was the evolution of the characters over the course of the film. None of the developments felt forced and they really did act like most high school kids would if given the same powers. You get to see how each kid is changed by the power that has been given to them. Steve isn't changed at all, he is still the determined one and is still friendly. Matt understands that the power is a big deal and tries to not abuse them. Andrew on the other hand is the opposite of Matt. He embraces the powers a little too much and starts to believe that he is a more highly developed human being than the rest of the world. When he starts mentioning the concept of the "apex predator", you know that he has gone completely off the deep end. There is no coming back from that type of mind set, and couple that with an abusive home situation and you have a recipe for disaster. You as the viewer gets to see how absolute power corrupts people from all different upbringings in this movie and it was by far the most interesting aspect of the movie to me.
On a less serious note, the special effects in this movie are pretty boss. They might not have the polish of higher budget movies but what they lack in polish they make up with brutality and originality. The ending fight sequence is just awesome, and I'm not going to spoil anything so don't worry. The flight sequences are well done as well due to some well timed comedy and creative effects. All of the effects had to be well dome in order to sell the movie to the audiences because the characters have a power that is invisible to the viewer unless the power is being directed on a certain item.
This is the best superhero movie that I have seen in the last couple of year. People might not consider this a superhero movie at first but watch it then tell me what type of movie you think it is. This is a great debut for the director as well as for the three lead actors who will undoubtedly find future success in Hollywood. This is also a movie that does not need a sequel. That is not a bad thing at all, it just means that this was a fantastic story that can be contained to one movie. The ending is a great and fulfilling conclusion to an absolutely fantastic movie. I wish all movies were this original.

Adjustable gastric banding helps you lose weight by making you feel full sooner. In this laparoscopic procedure, an inflatable silicone band is placed around the uppermost part of the stomach, dividing it into two parts: a small upper pouch and a lower stomach. The upper pouch can hold only about 2 ounces of food, limiting the amount of food you are able to eat at one time, and as a result, making you feel full sooner and satisfied longer. As you lose weight, the band can be adjusted by injecting more saline into a port placed underneath the skin on your abdomen. This helps to maintain the band's effectiveness. Adjustable gastric banding is a reversible procedure.
The first year after surgery, weight loss can range from 30 to 40 percent of excess body weight, and can increase to 50 percent in the second year.
Adjustable gastric banding may offer a number of benefits, including:
Maintaining a healthy weight requires lifestyle changes, so Physicians Regional Healthcare System's bariatric program is designed to help you maintain a healthy weight after surgery.

The Signature brand is fast becoming the most recognised in the UK, with an expansion programme that is turning heads throughout the hospitality industry. A unique formula for acquiring, developing and operating luxury hotels in heritage buildings that each have a story to tell, has positioned Signature Living as an award-winning brand that is seriously going places.
Lawrence Kenwright has been at Signature's helm since he founded the business in 2008, and in the following years has risen to become one of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs. Now, he is looking for three apprentices to join him in his Signature Works Mentoring Programme where over a three-month period, selected candidates will shadow the brand's chairman for three months, learning how he runs his business and gaining valuable insights into winning at work.
Mentoring Programme Builds on Huge Success of Signature Works Flexible Offices
The brand's flexible office provider, Signature Works at the Bling building on Liverpool's Hanover Street, will be the hub from which the mentoring scheme will operate. The three appointed apprentices will have unprecedented access to Lawrence and his senior management team to hone their existing business or potential business ideas.
Speaking of the scheme Mr Kenwright said: "I want to give every small business in Liverpool a boost and this is the start of a long-term commitment by Signature Works".
Passing on his knowledge and experience is only one-way Kenwright and Signature Living are helping the small and fledgeling business community of Liverpool. The company recently announced that all its new supplier agreements and contracts would first be awarded to Signature Works members.
It is estimated that Signature Group has over £300million in contracts to give away this year alone.
Along with providing low-cost offices on flexible terms and event space, Signature Works is where Lawrence Kenwright and his team provide guidance and advice to members on a daily basis to boost their business development. From finding manufacturers and suppliers through to devising a marketing strategy or generating sales leads, the Signature senior management team are always on-hand to impart their expert knowledge.
The Signature Works Mentoring Scheme is open to anyone and represents a fantastic opportunity to kick-start growth for your new or existing business. Learning about how to navigate an extremely competitive business landscape first-hand, from a man who has done exactly that to great success in the past ten years is an opportunity not to be missed!

HYDAC Lab HLB 1300
The HYDAC Lab® HLB 1300 is a multifunctional sensor for online condition monitoring of standard and bio-oils in stationary and mobile applications.
Indeed, it informs the user in real-time of changes in the fluids. He can then take immediate action in the case of deteriorating operating conditions.
What's more, it is possible to make assertions about the condition of an oil, e.g. aging or mixing with other fluids. The process rests on the basis of the measured values for the relative change in dielectric constant, the saturation level and the temperature.
Moreover, these measurements are available as sequential analog signals and switching signals at the electrical output of the HYDAC Lab® (e.g. for activating warning devices or alarms).
Also, it exists various HYDAC display and measurement devices which display the measured values.
- An online condition monitoring of oils
- Applications in industrial and mobile sectors
- An analogue output signal for:
- Saturation level
- Temperature
- Rel. change in dielectric constant
- A switching output
- Also, a compact design
- And a simple cartridge mounting

You Win Some, You Lose Some
Jamie, aspiring ballet star first seen in A Proper Little Nooryeff, continues his adventures. Ure's touch falters somewhat in this sequel, however, and what was humorous in Nooryeff occasionally becomes heavy-handed here. The storyline charts Jamie's attempts to lure female members of his dance class into his bed. Plenty of opportunities for humour-unfortunately, too much of it predictable and relying heavily on an almost ludicrous level of gullibility on Jamei's part. The least believable - and, indeed, most badly-written section of the book is that dealing with Steven's homosexual advances towards Jamie. Intended, I imagine, as an amusing subplot, it is embarrassing and clumsy. There are redeeming features, however - notably the realistic sketches of ballet school life and its accompanying larger-than-life characters. I'd offer this to third-years upwards but not wholeheartedly.

Happy hump day ladiesss! We're halfway to the weekend, and needing a LOT of extra coffee today, who's with us?! Bringing you another edition of #whatwewore over the past week. Have a great day! xx
These shorts are my favorites – I think quality denim (jeans or shorts) is worth a little extra $$. I buy both (high and low priced), but have found when I spend a little more, the pieces last quite a bit longer. I got this sweater from F21 a couple weeks ago, and have worn it twice – both times I had people stopping me asking for details…it literally just sold out, but add your email to the list for re-stock notification! If it is restocked, I'm purchasing a second for when I wear this one out…it's that good!
F21 sweater (sold out, similar here) | shorts | bag (budget-friendly option here) | necklace | nail polish
I was just about to head to Lululemon this week to get some new workout gear (mainly need sports bras!) but put that on hold once I got my package from Lorna Jane. I love every single piece I'm wearing and the bra is SO supportive!
My favorite is the back!
tank c/o | leggings c/o | bra c/o | water bottle
It has been so cold & rainy here this week, so it's back to warmer clothes. This sleeveless sweater from Grey State is so cute, and the material is light enough to wear at night in the warmer months, and these jeans are my favorite grays – super comfortable and flattering (which can be difficult to find with gray washes).

SWS Distinguished Feminist Lecture
From Gender and Society
Official Publication of Sociologists for Women in Society
'Migration is one of the most important social phenomena of our times. In the social science literature, particularly among US-based scholars, African migrant women remain an understudied population. The experiences of African women migrants, either as immigrants or refugees, clearly demonstrate that migration is a gendered process.
In this study, feminist political economy is the perspective within conflict theories in sociology, which enables us to more fully understand the experiences of African migrant women in various contexts, as well as the lives of other Global South migrant women. Based on over two decades of fieldwork, both in-depth interviews and extensive observations in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa and in Greater Boston and Philadelphia, this study reveals that although African women migrants face major challenges on both sides of the Atlantic, they continue to demonstrate creativity and resilience in and in the process, they contribute to community development.
Why is feminist political economy the paradigm that is most useful in exploring African women's experiences? This theory is very helpful in providing three major areas of focus that allow us to make sense of these women's lives: 1. the impact of the current phase of globalization; 2. their intersectional experiences and 3. the agency they demonstrate in addressing the challenges they face. Global capitalism creates conditions in their home nations – whether in Zimbabwe in particular or in other sub-Saharan African nations – which creates the "push" factors for women to leave these nations and seek new opportunities to support themselves and their families. Zimbabwean women migrants in South Africa or African women migrants in the northeastern US experience intersectionality based on their gender, race, class (or perceived class status), immigrant status and sometimes, due to their religions. African migrant women have also exhibited much agency in creating networks and organizations, as well as a "new Pan-Africanism" in the US, to support their lives in their new homelands. In this regard, they have enhanced the communities in which they live.'

Mary Johnson Osirim is Provost and Professor of Sociology at Bryn Mawr College. Her research has focused on women, entrepreneurship, the state and non-governmental organizations in the microenterprise sectors of Nigeria and Zimbabwe, the development of gender studies scholarship in Anglophone Sub-Saharan Africa as well as transnationalism and community development among African immigrants in the United States. She has written and edited books and many articles in these areas. She was the Sociologists For Women in Society's Distinguished Feminist Lecturer in 2017.
Based on research conducted over the past two decades, this lecture examines how the feminist political economy perspective can aid us in understanding the experiences of two populations of African women: Zimbabwean women cross-border traders in South Africa and African immigrant women in the northeastern United States. Feminist political economy compels us to explore the impact of the current phase of globalization as well as the roles of intersectionality and agency in the lives of African women. This research stems from fieldwork conducted in Harare and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa, as well as in metropolitan Boston and Philadelphia. Despite the many challenges that African migrant women face in these different venues, they continue to demonstrate much creativity and resilience and, in the process, they contribute to community development.

Total Time:
"Blue Almanac" was an RPG released in Japan on the Mega Drive (Sega Genesis) in 1991. This 15-track arranged album is the only soundtrack of which we can speak for this game. The interplanetary fantasy adventure may have been something of a Phantasy Star knock-off, but that doesn't mean the music was in any way inferior.
The bit of fame this incredibly obscure soundtrack has received is generally due to the name associated with it: Noriyuki Iwadare. However, those who take time to research the soundtrack will learn that Iwadare only worked a few of the songs on this album. Koji Hayama also had a small part on this album: he did the arrangement for track 10.
The songs I found particularly invigorating were the majority of the other "Planet" themes. Along with life-like synth, these songs include a few live instruments, particularly for solos (guitar solo, sax solo, etc.). A female vocalist does some singing and narrating on a couple of songs as well.
The songs, when looked at as a collective effort, reflect the "jam band" arranged albums that were common during these few early years of VGM albums. In particular, I'd be a fool not to notice the similarities this album has with Falcom's "Super Arrange Version" CDs, or some of Sakuraba's earlier works with Wolf Team.
In terms of quality, this album is top notch. An album's rarity generally has little to do with whether or not it's a good album, so this hunk of obscure plastic had me wondering whether or not it was worth the material it was printed on. It didn't even take me 10 minutes to know that this CD was going to be good the first time I listened to it.
If you're looking for something strange, interesting, and well-written from the Sega Genesis days, this would be a good album to get, particularly to "show off" to those who have never even recognized it previously. It's a hard find, but the cheapest prices for it are found on Y!J auctions.

Kick-off OT Euromaster 201412 Feb 2014 00:00 | OT Euromaster
In Eastbourne (UK) the trees were already blossoming late January. A mild winter has led to signs of an early spring (see photograph). Underneath the trees the new group OT Euromaster can be found, who attended their first two weeks of colleges in Eastbourne.
This module was the kick-off for the OT Euromaster programme. It will take up to twenty-five months and will lead the students to five different cities from five different countries. When we take a glimpse into the near future, we envision our students standing in Eastboarne again, within two years when they'll finish their master. And as they'll present their thesis, the now still unknown students of 2016 will also be present to witness them. But for now we are very eager to see how are current students will learn and develop. De second European city they will attend is Amsterdam, at the end of April. The Amsterdam School of Health Professions will give them a warm welcome!

The Marble Champ
English 4
Mr.. Greshes
January 8. 2012.
Dear my fellow MVHS students:
Alcoholism is a predisposed disease and is rapidly growing to become a very domineering issue in our society. While paying attention to various news broadcasts and newspapers, I have found that different domestic abuse cases and murders have been under the influence of alcohol. It really pains me to see teens in my own society fall victim to the influence. Alcohol can cause males to abuse females physically, mentally, and emotionally. In my own life, I have witnessed my aunt being abused countless times when my uncle would consume a couple of beers. I didn't understand it at the time because I thought that she did something wrong. I feel very wrong in expressing this, but I feel that when people consume alcohol, the truth comes out. Alcohol is a truth serum because you are not in a coherent state of mind, therefore you are not aware of what you are saying. Due to alcoholism, one out of every three women have to deal with domestic abuse. My heart aches for the women and I pity the men who feel that they have to belittle women and beat them because they know that some women will blame it on their being drunk. Domestic abuse cases often get thrown out because the women blame it on the man's drunken state. I inform anyone in this situation to get help because it is not healthy or suitable for anyone.

Recommended For You
Benjamin Flores, Jr. otherwise known as Lil'P-Nut is one of the coolest kids out there. He first gained recognition as a five year old when he won the 'New Daisy Theatre Talent Show.' He used to post a lot of stuff on YouTube and also used to perform around town in barber shops, talent shows and in the Summer Jam. He might be a small kid but he is definitely not considered one! People who have mingled with him feel that he can fit in about anywhere whether withgrown-ups or kids. Grown-ups who have socialized with him have said that he behaves like an eighteen year old when he is with them and also like a normal kid getting dirty while playing with his childhood friends. So, basically he is the best of both worlds! Flores also did a commercial for 'It's All Good Auto Sales'which further contributed to his burgeoning popularity. He stays on beat as he performs original raps about school, his relationship with God and a bad dream he had one night. He says that when he raps he does not cuss, still kids listen to him because he has rhythm and meaning in his songs. His performance on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show'got him national exposure which opened a lot of doors.
Recommended Lists:
- When Benjamin Flores first started rapping, his father didn't think too much about it, but when people started appreciating and complimenting him, he decided to put him in the 'New Daisy Theatre Talent Show'in which he emerged as the winner. Word got around and his popularity increased and that is how his Memphis agent, Marcus Shaw came to know about him. Shaw called him up and little Benjamin rapped to him about God and education. That impressed Shaw so much that he asked Benjamin to meet him in Atlanta two days later. His "swag" stood out and Shaw immediately called Meda Leacock, who worked for Puff Daddy and other high profile rappers. Shaw bought her a plane ticket and flew her to Atlanta to meet the boy. Just like Shaw, she too was blown away by his rapping skills and without further ado signed on as his New York agent. Soon after,a local news channel broadcast about him and made him a national star which in turn caught the attention of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' producers. At age seven, Flores sang 'You Might Be the One for Me,'an original love rap. Ellen found him charming and the audience went wild. After that, producers fromthe Cartoon Network and the movie 'Happy Feet 2' approached him. He won the role of Atticus, a rapping penguin in the film. After this, there was no looking back for the talented boy. Flores also appeared in an episode of the TBS sitcom 'Are We There Yet?'His biggest role to date is his role as Louie Preston in the Nickelodeon shows 'The Haunted Hathaways' and 'The Thundermans.' Apart from this he has starred in other projects such as 'Ride Along', 'Santa Hunters', 'One Crazy Cruise' and 'Henry Danger.' On June 13, 2016, Flores was announced as the new voice of Gerald Johanssen in 'Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie.' He is currently working on the Nickelodeon show 'Game Shakers' where he plays one of the main characters called Triple G.
- Even though he is merely a child, his skill with wordplay and his acting prowess is anything but childish and juvenile. He has such a charming and mature personality that he can easily mingle with anybody and everybody whether children or even grown-ups. By his own admission, whenever he goes on Facebook he gets a lot of good responses from other kids and people love his songs and also love watching his shows. He is considered an inspiration to many because of the success he has achieved and earned at such a tender age through sheer hard work and determination.
- Despite having achieved so much success and popularity at such a young age, the lad is very down-to-earth and sweet-natured. He loves mingling with people of all age groups and strives to be a good role model to those kids who idolize him.
- Benjamin Flores was born in Memphis but his family later relocated to Burbank, California since that's the location for 'Game Shakers.'He and his older sister, Melissa are currently being homeschooled.
- He began his rap career at his stage name of Lil'P-Nut and gained recognition for his song, 'You Might Be the One.'

A Summer Reading Gone Sour
Why All the Light We Cannot See Isn't as Great As People Say It Is
Over the summer, this year's freshmen class was given award-winning Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See to read at their own discretion. The number of them that actually finished it will have to be a topic for another day, but whether they wallpapered the margins with annotations or speed-read it in a panic the night before orientation, the end result was still the same: read, regurgitate, move on.
We all know the drill.
And yet… English teachers schoolwide have been praising Doerr's virtues even to their upperclassmen; his gorgeous use of parallelism and prose is familiar fodder to even the most absentee of AP Lang students.
The thing is, most of us aged 16 and over never actually read the book. So, for the 74 percent of the school that didn't peruse its contents over the summer, I propose a serious question: is it actually worth the read?
The basic gist of the plot itself is easy enough to get. Two protagonists, Marie-Laure LeBlanc and Werner Pfennig, each with their own separate struggles and their own separate problems. One in France, the other in Germany. Both thrown into the chaotic mix of fascism and imperialism that is World War II.
While Marie-Laure and her father are conscripted into hiding the Sea of Flames, an ancient jewel that just might be cursed to kill everyone around it, Werner is drafted into the Nazi forces against his will and assigned the mission of tracking down the origin of a resistance broadcast, a broadcast that happens to originate from Marie-Laure's hiding place. You can see where this is going.
It's a simple enough plot, as much as the nonlinear narrative may try to disguise it. But all that doesn't really answer the original question. Is it worth the time to skip out on the chemistry homework and actually read it?
Well, your Language Arts teacher wasn't wrong about one thing: Doerr's mastery over the English language is exquisite in the finest sense of the word. His prose paints the Mona Lisa across the backs of a reader's eyelids with every page — a Mona Lisa dripping with enough polysyndeton and anaphoras to make Vergil's Aeneid go "huh, that might be a bit overkill."
In fact, I'd go so far as to say Doerr's prose might even be enough to mask the gaping holes in the character development. Well. It almost is anyways.
And here's where you start to hit a snag in the "this book was really good" argument.
The main characters were bland. They were bland at their conception, and they continued to be bland as they sauntered past the publication desk. The concept behind their creation was great, I'll admit: a blind girl in WWII France and a German orphan, both struggling through the Holocaust in their own way — it makes an extremely interesting case on the surface.
Except, "on the surface" is the deepest these two characters go. They feel less like characters and more like… placeholders.
Two blank slates, each with just enough dialogue and random twitches to convince the reader that they aren't wooden marionettes controlled by a very bad ventriloquist — if only because wooden marionettes have more personality than both Werner Pfennig and Marie-Laure LeBlanc put together. They don't have souls of their own, they don't have personality — they're just bundles of words, tossed together and made vacant enough that the reader can project 97 percent of their own personality traits onto them.
And that may sound harsh, I will admit. So in all honesty, the plot itself is sound. The themes are gratifying, the prose, as mentioned before, is masterfully used. It has all the good makings of a good, solid, impactful read.
But a story, at its most fundamental, most integral core, is centered around its characters, and these characters simply weren't complex enough, distinct enough, real enough to make themselves compelling.
So if you're a fan of parallelism and beautiful writing (or just a student with a quiz on rhetorical devices in the morning), then by all means: read Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See.
But if you read a book to transport yourself, to empathize with its characters and their struggles and their strifes — then this probably won't be the book for you. It definitely wasn't for me.

Whether your go-to is home-cooked lasagna or take-out cashew chicken, your eating habits in college will probably be different than what you're used to at home—and it takes time to settle into a routine. If you've been rushing to class on an empty stomach, don't know what to eat at the dining hall, or binged on pizza every night this week, don't stress. You'll gradually find the rhythm that works for you. To help you get started, we've pulled together 11 tips for navigating meal plans, cooking in dorms, and avoiding the one eating habit that nutritionists say you should try to kick. Here's how to be healthyish in college:
1. Stock your dorm with these five compact, easy-to-clean appliances:
Mini-fridge: Keep fruit fresh, keep drinks cold, and save your leftover pad Thai for tomorrow.
Microwave: Heat up said leftover pad Thai, bake a sweet potato, and even poach eggs.
Electric kettle: Hot water can be used for a ton of dorm-friendly drinks and meals, from tea and pour-over coffee to instant oatmeal and brown rice.
Small blender: Purée fruit for smoothies, blend ingredients for protein shakes, and scramble eggs with veggies (which you can then cook in your microwave)! The Magic Bullet gets the job done.
Vacuum: If your room feels clean, you'll feel clean. This version is light, collapsible, and comes with a smaller handheld device that lets you get underneath your bed.

Child trust fund (CTF) vouchers will be scaled down from August and scrapped altogether from January 2011, under new spending cuts announced by Chancellor George Osborne.
While, CTFs will still exist as a tax-free savings and investment vehicle, families will no longer benefit from government contributions.
Currently, parents receive £250 for every newborn child and another £250 when the child turns seven. From August, initial payments will drop to £50 and the secondary payment will be scrapped.
For babies born into lower income families, initial payments of £500 will drop to £100 after 1 August. Children currently get this if their household income is less than £16,190.
Additional payments of £100-£200 made to families with children eligible for disability allowance will continue for this year, but will also wind up at the start of 2011. This money will be channelled towards providing more respite care for the children.
In a bid to tackle the monstrous budget deficit inherited from the last government, Osborne announced over £6 billion worth of cuts to be made this year. The cuts to CTF contributions will save £320 million this year and £520 million in 2011-12.
Chief secretary to the Treasury David Laws admits the move will come as a "disappointment to some parents", but adds that to continue such a policy would be dishonest, since future generations would end up footing the bill if the deficit was not tackled now.
Existing holders of CTFs will still be able to top up funds with up to £1,200 a year, but without the added incentive of cash from the government they might be better off looking into alternative savings and investment routes.
George Ladds, head of investment and pensions research at financial provider Fair Investment Company, backs the decision to scrap CTFs:
"I have always found them to be an odd concept. The assumption that as parents we are incapable of saving for our children without funding from the state is slightly insulting.
"Those who can afford to save will, and shouldn't be getting hand outs to do so, while those who can't afford it have much bigger things to worry about, like paying bills. This is money they could do with now, not in 18 years time," he says.
Justin Modray, former IFA and founder of candidmoney.com, thinks the government's move is disappointing. He calculates children born on or after 1 January 2011 will miss out on £1,200 by not getting any contribution from the government.
This is what the £250 government vouchers at birth and age seven would otherwise have been worth when they reach age 18, assuming 6% annual growth after charges.
David White, chief executive of Children's Mutual, has urged families to continue saving for their children into CTFs, as a tax-free investment vehicle.
He says: "We are staggered by George Osborne's announcement today. The CTF is the single most important savings policy to date and this sort of short-term cut does not address the pressing need for families to save."
Currently 1.4 million parents, family and friends contribute to CTFs with over £22 million added each month.

Mobile sky mapping May 17, 2009Posted by Sarah in astro 2.0, science.
Tags: android, astronomy, dotastronomy, google, sky map
Google have just released a fab new application for their Android phones, called Sky Map. When you point your phone at the sky, Sky Map can automatically load a map of the bit you're looking at. Or if you're looking for Mars, it can actually direct you to it on the sky, in a very cool "icy-cooler-bit warmer now-warm-hot-scorching-yes you've got it!"-stylee.
One of the main developers on the project is a software engineer who used to work on AstroGrid, John Taylor (h/t to Andy for flagging that up). Check out the video below from the application launch at the recent Google Searchology event (the sleek promo video is here).

Bonnie "Prince" Billy I Made a Place(Drag City) Buy it from Insound
Despite having a long and illustrious career, it's notable that Will Oldham, a.k.a. Will Oldham, is described as "bringing the lightness" by his longtime label Drag City. It's been over twenty years since Oldham released 1998's sullen, devastating I See a Darkness, though it's not as if he's stepped away from the bleak landscapes he conjures on his first "proper" album in six years, I Made a Place. He just frames things differently, performing optimistic, old-timey folk that wouldn't sound out of place in a Smithsonian Folkways recording. But there's plenty of worry and uncertainty in Oldham's bittersweet pronouncements, mostly driven from a significant shift of perspective: the arrival of his newborn daughter.
In one of I Made a Place's most enchanting songs, This is Far From Over, Oldham imagines a somewhat bleak environment, swayed by climate change concerns. But he also offers solace, reflecting on Mother Nature's strength over an acoustic lullaby: "When all that's left is sea and sun/a lonely voice say all's not done/it's your child who will be the one/to sing it's far from over." The issue of mortality, and how it spans different generations, is a recurring thought. Just like in Nothing is Busted, where Oldham advises to pick up all the broken pieces to make something better like a wise sage—especially the relationships that we think we cannot mend. Having written most of the album with his wife in Hawaii during an artists-in-residence, living close to an active volcano, it's natural that he felt motivated to understand his more vulnerable self.
After chipping away at it, Oldham returned to his Louisville, Kentucky hometown to record I Made a Place. Bringing folk singer-songwriters Joan Shelley and frequent collaborator Nathan Salsburg on board, he's able to centralize the album's core themes with a fuller band sound. Both serve to accompany the songs without stealing the spotlight, like in the psych-folk leaning Dream Awhile, where Shelley's spectral voice brings a pleasant comfort akin to Fairport Convention's Sandy Denny. Even at their most stately, Oldham never takes their presence for granted, trying different moods as his own will. Sometimes, though, it can feel like he's reinventing himself like a traveling troubadour—recruiting new players to brighten his songs at every destination he visits. Though his traditionalist approach sounds splendid, it does feel a little worn in places.
There's a palpable joy in listening to Oldham let loose in toe-tapping tunes like The Devil's Throat and New Memory Box, where the appearance of fiddles and banjos add an air of celebration. He presents them with a frankness that counters his inscrutable lyrical tendencies—because it just wouldn't be him if he didn't squeeze some irony into the cracks. It's unlike anything we've heard of Oldham before but also expected, considering he's built a reputation of building over his multiple collaborations. And it does, to an extent, answer how this counts as a true Bonnie "Prince" Billy album. Invigorated and with more purpose, Oldham feels the wholeness of family and unity. Whereas past projects lived in a state of flux, Oldham now feels settled and at ease. It does sound like he's found the "lightness," after all.15 November, 2019 - 08:56 — Juan Edgardo Rodriguez

I got the call about six am. My partner Bob Hedlund was on his way to one of our jobs in Malibu. Mike, he was breathless on the cell phone, the radio is reporting theres a bad accident out on highway 126. What do you mean? I asked. Is it one of our trucks? No, no he said, Thats not what Im talking about. This is terrible, really bad. What is it? I ask again. Mike, he says with a deep heaviness that made me instantly weary, the radio says its a race car trailer and truck. My buddy Jim Gresham was supposed to be back from the Midwest yesterday, he didnt call me so I figured he was running late but thats the way he would go. Oh man, I got to call his brother, Steve .
Jim Gresham At The Renaissance Of Speedway
Jim Gresham grew up with younger brother Steve and sister Kathy in Las Vegas. Had a paper route and one day when his dad was out of town, he talked his mom into buying him a little Honda 50 cc motorbike for his route. A couple more papers got tossed, but he took that bike and started racing TT on a local dirt course. The family pulled up and moved to San Francisco in 66 settling in San Mateo. Now Jims at Hayward Speedway running more TT and short track and even Dads grooving with it. Jim moves up to a half mile at Bay Speedway. In a short year or two they move again now to the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. Jim was a young man now and headed back to Vegas where he got a job in a casino and was racing off time. Another move for the family a short distance from the Valley to Thousand Oaks and Jim decided to leave Las Vegas and come home. The Sixties are ending and on the west coast motorbikes are exploding in speedway, short track, super bikes and motocross. Unknown to him, he was coming home to a cultural epicenter of all things cars, motors and bikes.
He took a job at Thousand Oaks Honda and started getting more serious about racing. Hooked up with local underground riders like Patty Carroll and they started hitting tracks from South Bay to the desert. Shared a speedway bike with a local legend named Wild Bill Todd and got racing at Whiteman Stadium. The deal just grew, speedway bikes were in the middle of an American renaissance and Jim was in the thick of it. It was Ventura on Tuesdays, Bakersfield on Wednesdays, Irwindale on Thursdays, Costa Mesa Fridays, Lancaster on Saturdays and even some special races on Sundays. Only Mondays were dark. About this time he was changing a split rim truck tire when the thing exploded and the rim hit him in the forehead, throwing him across the shop. He spent three months in intensive care. It took him two years before he could climb on a bike again, but he went out on his first race back, Costa Mesa, savaged the Main Event and took that trophy home. It spoke volumes. Younger brother Steve got old enough to ride and started working his own destiny. He headed to Europe in 74 and had a real good time. Steve tells me his success was modest, but to Jim back in California, for anyone who would listen, his brother was a racing god.
Jim shifted his scene to stock cars and Saugus Speedway, a cool 1/3 mile on considerable acres in Saugus, California. He hooked in with promoter Ray Marshall and both raced and worked the paved oval. He went from stocks to modifieds until the track shut down, something about OSHA and the grandstands. Ventura was forming a sprint car division under IMCA sanction and a small but growing clique of drivers started having at it. Early years included drivers Harlan Willis, Bob and Randy Moody, Rick Taylor, Jim Gresham and the Jordan brothers. It was the core genesis for what has become a storied history of sprint cars at Ventura Raceway. Jim was having limited success and his brother was back from Europe and helping. Lots of fights over setup, engines and driving strategy. After one bitter brotherly fight over set up, Steve decided to build his brother an engine. Jim took it out and won a memorable heat race battle against sprint star Ron Shuman. Steve carries the memories of that heat race to this day. Another story told me, Steve and Jim were having a row over how to get it done and both disappeared into the trailer yelling. When they came out, they had switched fire suit and crew chief hat. Each telling the other, If you think you can do it better
Winning Where It Mattered
(Photo courtesy of Dave Wolf)
Steve started driving and an upcoming upstart named Jimmy Crawford pulled in Jim Gresham as crew chief. They campaigned hard and took the VRA Sprint Car Championship in 2002 with Jimmy "the Neutron" Crawford at the wheel. Jim took a brief detour into light Indy cars, becoming a team fabricator. He did a little traveling but found it weak after the mud slinging open wheel racing. He had developed the unshakeable opinion that sprint cars in the dirt were the highest evolution of speed and skill. He came back to Ventura and hooked up again with Crawford. They started racing from Perris to Hanford and all points in between. They started running a 410 at Perris Speedway and set their sights on the SCRA Midwest Tour, with Jim and Jimmy planning to hit it light in 2003.
Jims had evolved into a rather sophisticated mechanic, fabricator and expert on all things racing. Loved to collect spare parts. He never saw a used piece of equipment he couldnt take home and squeeze another lap out of. He bought a property in Oxnard with living quarters and a race shop. Had the killer TIG welder, the bender and shear damn near everything you needed to build racecars. It was ten paces from the house to the shop. Hed skip eating if he only had money for racing. The only thing that mattered to him outside of racing was his precious daughter Tara. But he also had an infinite capacity of help for his friends. If you needed a part he would take it off his car or run back to his shop and grab it for you. He had become the spitting definition of your local home track racer. Its funny with racing. Relationships are like walking through a minefield. Seems with everybody there is always some race, some deal, some words spoken and you get a lot of different reactions to people. But when I was thinking about this story, I went to people I know and trust. They told me about the core racer. They told me about the skilled car builder. They kept telling me about a heart as big as an oak tree.
As 2003 went on, things got tough and then tougher. Jim was building sprint cars. Steve was building engines. Crawford was the driver and Jim was the crew chief. Steve Gresham tragically lost his step son and son both in a short period of time and was trying to work his way out of a grief stricken paralysis. Crawford and Jim were racing Perris and all about. Crawford and Jim decided to hit the SCRA Midwest Tour again in 2004 for a couple of weeks. They had a crew cab dually with a 45 trailer, with two sprint cars stuffed in with spare parts. They practically had to drag Steve into the truck, but they were determined. Steve was drowning. They hit every race from Oskaloosa, Iowa to Lakeside Speedway in Kansas. It was motels, fast food and hardcore racing. They were in the middle of the pack, scrambling from heat to heat and nobody was winning. But they were seeing dream tracks and racing their hearts out. In hindsight, the time the two brothers and their racing confederate spent together on that road became irreplaceable.
Steve Gresham and Jimmy Crawford (shown here at the Oval Nationals)
Are Still Close and Still Racing Their Hearts Out
At the end of that Midwest swing, Jimmy and Steve both flew home to Newbury Park. Jim took the truck and trailer and proceeded to haul it home. Seth Wilsons team was in a caravan with them. Seth had some trouble with his rig and decided to strike south. Jim ended up giving Seths dad, Steve Wilson, a ride to Las Vegas. Once again, he was passing through the town where he got his start. He called his brother and reported that he was hanging with the Wilsons and having the time of his life. He told Steve he had a plan and he laid it out. He was going to sell everything. Provided he could get Tara to go with him, he was going back to the Midwest to buy a home and shop. He knew what kind of cars he wanted to build. He knew he wanted to race full time. Steve put up some gentle protestations but Jim was unmovable. In his tender middle age, he was going to take it to the next level. He was going to spend the rest of his life in the racing heartlands. Excited and happy, he cruised across town and hooked up with longtime friend Mike Reynolds. But with the truck and trailer out on the street, Jim knew he had to get home. The desert heat made him decide to leave at nighttime for the final haul of the trip to Southern California.
I wonder about that last night of driving. Up off the Mojave Desert into Barstow, low moon in the West luring him on. Skirting the north edge of the naked metropolis, across the Pearblossom Highway, low hills dotted with oaks heading over the 14 down to the 5. Tack north for moment up to the 126 and swing west into the gentle farmlands of Piru and Fillmore. In the fragrant bosom of Ventura County, tired, almost home, should of pulled over and slept. But Jim was always full throttle. I dont think he ever saw it coming. I think he fell asleep watching the trees slide by and the Lord just reached down, cupped him in his hand and took him home. The rig crossed over the divider, hit a power pole and jerked back across the divider. Off the shoulder and hit a combination of gulch and trees and came to wrenching stop. The fifth wheel trailer took the trucks rear bed and folded it over the top of truck like a pretzel. Lee Davis was on an early morning haul for Taylor Truck and Crane and came across the crash. Phones started to ring in the early morning all over Ventura County.
I dont know how Steve Gresham ever got out
of bed for the next few years. I cant even think about the loss Tara endured.
Jimmy Crawford went through a long stretch of pain and bewilderment. His new
wife brought him a child and time does heal. Now Steves got a new daughter
too. Bob Hedlund still gets up early, drives to another job and thinks often
about his old friend. I think about the value of home track racing and its
sturdiest citizens like Jim, Steve and the Neutron. Racing has a rhythm, the
syncopation of Saturday nights, turning laps and engine revolutions. I hear
it everywhere. You hum the memories and Ill write a couple of lyrics. To me,
racing sounds like the Ballad of Jim Gresham.

French Montana Proudly Declares Himself "Waviest In The Game"
French Montana has always operated as an interesting figure in the rap game. Seldom achieving critical excellence like some of his contemporaries, though consistently thriving in a commercial setting, or as a friend in need. As a matter of fact, French has been at the center of many a hip-hop bromance, and his role in the Coke Boys movement should not be undervalued. Not to mention, French has held it down on various cult classics, including turning in a truly-fascinating rendition of the "Stay Schemin" hook.
Christopher Polk/Getty Images
In any case, French is beloved to be sure, but not always celebrated with due respect. It's gotten to the point where the man himself felt compelled to issue a PSA. "OVER 10 YEARS IN THE GAME AND STILL THE WAVIEST PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME," he writes, alongside a picture of himself looking the part (with "No Stylist," lest we forget). "AND ? SOLID." At this point, it's unlikely that French's words will shift him into them there top 50 conversations that have been floating around. Yet should the criteria expand to include waviness, all bets are indeed off.
Are you eager to hear some of that new music from French? Given his waviness, it's surprisingly been a drought in that department – yet perhaps this newfangled social media activity bodes well for the future. Keep a lookout!

The Russian writer, Leo Tolstoy, told a story that wonderfully illustrates Solomon's fruitless search for satisfaction. A search repeated in all our lives so much so that the stupidity of Tolstoy's main character is too easily seen in our own pursuits and attitudes.
The short story is entitled, How Much Land Does a Man Need. You could try picking up a copy of Tolstoy's works, or a one-click purchase of a Kindle version. You could read it online if you don't want to spend a dime; or you could read the final part of the story below…
"And what will be the price?" asked Pahom.
"Our price is always the same: one thousand roubles a day."
Pahom did not understand. "A day? What measure is that? How many acres would that be?"
"We do not know how to reckon it out," said the Chief. "We sell it by the day. As much as you can go round on your feet in a day is yours, and the price is one thousand roubles a day."
Pahom was surprised. "But in a day you can get round a large tract of land," he said.
The Chief laughed. "It will all be yours!" said he. "But there is one condition: If you don't return on the same day to the spot whence you started, your money is lost."
"But how am I to mark the way that I have gone?"
"Why, we shall go to any spot you like, and stay there. You must start from that spot and make your round, taking a spade with you. Wherever you think necessary, make a mark. At every turning, dig a hole and pile up the turf; then afterwards we will go round with a plough from hole to hole. You may make as large a circuit as you please, but before the sun sets you must return to the place you started from. All the land you cover will be yours."
…The Chief came up to Pahom and stretched out his arm towards the plain: "See," said he, "all this, as far as your eye can reach, is ours. You may have any part of it you like."
Pahom's eyes glistened: it was all virgin soil, as flat as the palm of your hand, as black as the seed of a poppy, and in the hollows different kinds of grasses grew breast high.
The Chief took off his fox-fur cap, placed it on the ground and said: "This will be the mark. Start from here, and return here again. All the land you go round shall be yours."
Pahom took out his money and put it on the cap. Then he took off his outer coat, remaining in his sleeveless under coat. He unfastened his girdle and tied it tight below his stomach, put a little bag of bread into the breast of his coat, and tying a flask of water to his girdle, he drew up the tops of his boots, took the spade from his man, and stood ready to start. He considered for some moments which way he had better go–it was tempting everywhere.
"No matter," he concluded, "I will go towards the rising sun."
He turned his face to the east, stretched himself, and waited for the sun to appear above the rim.
"I must lose no time," he thought, "and it is easier walking while it is still cool."
The sun's rays had hardly flashed above the horizon, before Pahom, carrying the spade over his shoulder, went down into the steppe.
Pahom started walking neither slowly nor quickly. After having gone a thousand yards he stopped, dug a hole and placed pieces of turf one on another to make it more visible. Then he went on; and now that he had walked off his stiffness he quickened his pace. After a while he dug another hole.
Pahom looked back. The hillock could be distinctly seen in the sunlight, with the people on it, and the glittering tires of the cartwheels. At a rough guess Pahom concluded that he had walked three miles. It was growing warmer; he took off his under-coat, flung it across his shoulder, and went on again. It had grown quite warm now; he looked at the sun, it was time to think of breakfast.
"The first shift is done, but there are four in a day, and it is too soon yet to turn. But I will just take off my boots," said he to himself.
He sat down, took off his boots, stuck them into his girdle, and went on. It was easy walking now.
"I will go on for another three miles," thought he, "and then turn to the left. The spot is so fine, that it would be a pity to lose it. The further one goes, the better the land seems."
He went straight on a for a while, and when he looked round, the hillock was scarcely visible and the people on it looked like black ants, and he could just see something glistening there in the sun.
"Ah," thought Pahom, "I have gone far enough in this direction, it is time to turn. Besides I am in a regular sweat, and very thirsty."
He stopped, dug a large hole, and heaped up pieces of turf. Next he untied his flask, had a drink, and then turned sharply to the left. He went on and on; the grass was high, and it was very hot.
Pahom began to grow tired: he looked at the sun and saw that it was noon. "Well," he thought, "I must have a rest."
He sat down, and ate some bread and drank some water; but he did not lie down, thinking that if he did he might fall asleep. After sitting a little while, he went on again. At first he walked easily: the food had strengthened him; but it had become terribly hot, and he felt sleepy; still he went on, thinking: "An hour to suffer, a life-time to live."
He went a long way in this direction also, and was about to turn to the left again, when he perceived a damp hollow: "It would be a pity to leave that out," he thought. "Flax would do well there." So he went on past the hollow, and dug a hole on the other side of it before he turned the corner. Pahom looked towards the hillock. The heat made the air hazy: it seemed to be quivering, and through the haze the people on the hillock could scarcely be seen.
"Ah!" thought Pahom, "I have made the sides too long; I must make this one shorter." And he went along the third side, stepping faster. He looked at the sun: it was nearly half way to the horizon, and he had not yet done two miles of the third side of the square. He was still ten miles from the goal.
"No," he thought, "though it will make my land lopsided, I must hurry back in a straight line now. I might go too far, and as it is I have a great deal of land."
So Pahom hurriedly dug a hole, and turned straight towards the hillock.
Pahom went straight towards the hillock, but he now walked with difficulty. He was done up with the heat, his bare feet were cut and bruised, and his legs began to fail. He longed to rest, but it was impossible if he meant to get back before sunset. The sun waits for no man, and it was sinking lower and lower.
"Oh dear," he thought, "if only I have not blundered trying for too much! What if I am too late?"
He looked towards the hillock and at the sun. He was still far from his goal, and the sun was already near the rim. Pahom walked on and on; it was very hard walking, but he went quicker and quicker. He pressed on, but was still far from the place. He began running, threw away his coat, his boots, his flask, and his cap, and kept only the spade which he used as a support.
"What shall I do," he thought again, "I have grasped too much, and ruined the whole affair. I can't get there before the sun sets."
And this fear made him still more breathless. Pahom went on running, his soaking shirt and trousers stuck to him, and his mouth was parched. His breast was working like a blacksmith's bellows, his heart was beating like a hammer, and his legs were giving way as if they did not belong to him. Pahom was seized with terror lest he should die of the strain.
Though afraid of death, he could not stop. "After having run all that way they will call me a fool if I stop now," thought he. And he ran on and on, and drew near and heard the Bashkirs yelling and shouting to him, and their cries inflamed his heart still more. He gathered his last strength and ran on.
The sun was close to the rim, and cloaked in mist looked large, and red as blood. Now, yes now, it was about to set! The sun was quite low, but he was also quite near his aim. Pahom could already see
the people on the hillock waving their arms to hurry him up. He could see the fox-fur cap on the ground, and the money on it, and the Chief sitting on the ground holding his sides. And Pahom remembered his dream.
"There is plenty of land," thought he, "but will God let me live on it? I have lost my life, I have lost my life! I shall never reach that spot!"
Pahom looked at the sun, which had reached the earth: one side of it had already disappeared. With all his remaining strength he rushed on, bending his body forward so that his legs could hardly follow fast enough to keep him from falling. Just as he reached the hillock it suddenly grew dark. He looked up–the sun had already set. He gave a cry: "All my labor has been in vain," thought he, and was about to stop, but he heard the Bashkirs still shouting, and remembered that though to him, from below, the sun seemed to have set, they on the hillock could still see it. He took a long breath and ran up the hillock. It was still light there. He reached the top and saw the cap. Before it sat the Chief laughing and holding his sides. Again Pahom remembered his dream, and he uttered a cry: his legs gave way beneath him, he fell forward and reached the cap with his hands.
"Ah, what a fine fellow!" exclaimed the Chief. "He has gained much land!"
Pahom's servant came running up and tried to raise him, but he saw that blood was flowing from his mouth. Pahom was dead!
The Bashkirs clicked their tongues to show their pity.
His servant picked up the spade and dug a grave long enough for Pahom to lie in, and buried him in it. Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed."

Log In - New York Times. The GOP's conversion to a 'political sociopath' The GOP Is a Dying Party. That's Why I'm Running Against Trump. As a former Republican, I'm shocked that the party of Abraham Lincoln is nominating a man with a vision of America that doesn't even resemble that of the party I once knew.
And his vice presidential pick, Mike Pence, who as governor of Indiana has left a record of division in his state, only makes matters worse. Despite the calls at the GOP convention in Cleveland for national unity, Donald Trump sees our country as a land of exclusion. He wants Americans to act as powerless serfs bullied by someone who says he will protect them. Throughout world history, that has been the calling card of Big Government autocrats. Story Continued Below His character assaults are unbounded. 11,000 failed attempts to change America. Reading Hillary Clinton's hidden thesis - politics - Decision '08 - Hillary Clinton News. WELLESLEY, Mass. — The senior thesis of Hillary D.
Rodham, Wellesley College class of 1969, has been speculated about, spun, analyzed, debated, criticized and defended. But rarely has it been read, because for the eight years of Bill Clinton's presidency it was locked away. As forbidden fruit, the writings of a 21-year-old college senior, examining the tactics of radical community organizer Saul D. Alinsky, have gained mythic status among her critics — a "Rosetta Stone," in the words of one, that would allow readers to decode the thinking of the former first lady and 2008 presidential candidate. Despite the fervent interest in the thesis, few realize that it is no longer kept under lock and key. But can an academic paper from nearly 40 years ago really unlock the politics and character of any former student, much less the early Democratic front-runner for the White House?
This is your chance to decide before the political spin machines get their hands on it. Review: History Lincoln's Republican Party Heather Cox Richardson. Unconscious Reactions Separate Liberals and Conservatives. More practically, instead of trying to change people's emotional state (an effect that is temporary), astute policy makers might be able to phrase their ideas in a way that appeals to different worldviews.
In a 2010 paper Irina Feygina, a social psychology doctoral student at N.Y.U. who works with Jost, found a way to bring conservatives and liberals together on global warming. She and her colleagues wondered whether the impulse to defend the status quo might be driving the conservative pooh-poohing of environmental issues. In an ingenious experiment, the psychologists reframed climate change not as a challenge to government and industry but as "a threat to the American way of life." After reading a passage that couched environmental action as patriotic, study participants who displayed traits typical of conservatives were much more likely to sign petitions about preventing oil spills and protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Moral Scorecards. Lone Star Crazy: How Right-Wing Extremists Took Over Texas. Jimmy Smith's ranch sits on the Texas side of the Texas-Oklahoma border, in a little town called Burkburnett, named after a wolf-hunting buddy of Teddy Roosevelt's.
In 1918, a local farmer discovered oil on his land, and the population soared from 1,500 to 15,000 in a single year, inspiring a Clark Gable movie, Boom Town. Rick Perry: The Best Little Whore In Texas Those days have long passed. As I drive along the lonely dirt road wending through Smith's property, the only Texas movie that comes to mind is the one about chain-saw massacres. Obnoxiousness Is the New Charisma. Photo IN a typical presidential campaign, the most successful candidates lay claim to leadership with their high-mindedness.
They reach for poetry. They focus on lifting people up, not tearing them down. They beseech voters to be their biggest, best selves. Not the two front-runners in this freaky Republican primary. If you're not with them, you're a loser (Donald Trump's declaration) or you're godless (Ted Cruz's decree, more or less). Obnoxiousness is the new charisma. Sure, we've had contenders like them before. Cruz just finished up a dominant week, besting Trump in a poll of California Republicans, drawing swarms of reporters to his bus tour through Iowa, prompting ever surer predictions of triumph in that state.
He "has plainly become the candidate to beat in the caucuses," Jonathan Martin and Matt Flegenheimer wrote in The Times, sketching a scenario in which "he could also quickly become something else: the de facto party nominee." Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton: Voting Your Conscience. The basic facts are these.
St. Thomas More, born in London in 1478, was a devout Catholic, and also one of the most incisive legal minds of his day. Upon entering the service of King Henry VIII, he made clear that he believed the king's marriage to Catherine of Aragon to be valid and thus not annullable. Initially, Henry claimed to respect More's views, but over time his resolve to re-marry hardened.

A well-known Central Florida accounting firm will have a new moniker come Aug. 1, thanks to its merger with Chicago-based BDO (FY15 net revenue of $1 billion), the Orlando Business Journal reported.
Orlando, Fla.-based Cross, Fernandez & Riley and its 95 employees will become part of the BDO. Combined with BDO's existing presence in Miami and West Palm Beach, this latest acquisition will bring BDO's total staff in Florida to more than 200.
Cross, Fernandez & Riley previously was BDO's Orlando office from 1970-2000, when the partners bought the firm and changed its name.
"I want to welcome — and in some cases welcome back — the partners and staff of Cross, Fernandez & Riley to BDO," says Wayne Berson, CEO of BDO USA. He says the firm is one of the leading practices in the I-4 corridor. BDO will maintain all of the firm's four offices.
Jim Cross, MP of Cross, Fernandez & Riley, said that by rejoining BDO, his firm gains larger resources that should help the firm "attract and retain the best and brightest talent in Central Florida."

Hordes: Rask und Afflictor
Die Lakaien dürfen sich über einen wirklich coolen neuen Warlock freuen.
Rask is a mighty bog trog warlock who has traded his people's freedom for some degree of personal autonomy from the bloodthirsty gatormen. Cold and calculating, Rask is a formidable hunter, a skilled warrior, and one of the most ruthless and self-serving creatures in the Blindwater Congregation. Rask prefers to bring his enemies low through a combination of potent sorcery, peerless knowledge of the terrain, and a host of devious trick and obfuscations. He typically avoids direct confrontation with powerful enemies, preferring to use his abilities to tip the scales in favor of the lesser creatures that serve him. However, once his bog trogs and warbeasts have weakened an enemy, Rask claims the honor of the killing blow with a well-placed bolt from his harpoon gun.
Among the myriad powers at Everblight's disposal, the most terrifying is the dragon's capacity to infect his enemies in body and mind. The blight is not only a means to create his servants and spawn but also a weapon to be wielded against lesser creatures. The afflictor was birthed to serve this very purpose. Its body is a vessel for delivering the seed of all-consuming, destructive life. Struck by the beast's wicked tail, a victim is pumped full of caustic corruption, its flesh made a vessel for a new child of the dragon.
Rasko und der Afflictor kosten jeweils 14,99 Dollar und bestehen aus Metall.
In Deutschland werden die Privateer Press Produkte über Ulisses Spiele vertrieben und sind unter anderem bei unseren Partnern Fantasy Warehouse und TinBitz erhältlich.

Find it hard to say "Sorry"? That's hardly surprising. After all, making an apology entails us owning up to things we're probably not proud of.
"When we have to apologise, we feel ashamed. And when we're ashamed, we prefer to hide. Saying 'I'm sorry' requires the opposite action as we've to initiate a conversation with someone we've hurt, and we know that the conversation will be difficult," says Ralitsa Peeva, a counsellor and life coach.
"Plus, even if we apologise, it doesn't mean that the person we've hurt will forgive us. So we often choose not to talk at all in the false hope that the matter will pass."
She points out that in some instances, we may even be prepared to leave a relationship than to admit to our mistake and apologise for it.
But apologising is important—it makes us exercise humility and take responsibility for our actions. So how can we hone that skill?
How to apologise right
"The first is to hear what the hurt party has to say. How did our words or actions affect them? How did they feel? It's a an uncomfortable space to be in but it allows the other person to feel heard, seen, understood," says Ralitsa.
"The second thing is to resist the urge to explain your actions. Avoid saying, 'I'm sorry, but…' even when you have your reasons as to why you acted in a certain way. The justification you're giving undermines the apology that you just made."
She adds that when you justify your actions, you're not allowing the feelings of the other party to be validated, and that if you absolutely must explain yourself, you should wait until a follow-up conversation to do so.
Going the extra mile
Want to do more than just make a verbal apology? There are plenty of things you can do to show remorse, but if you want to do something easy yet sincere, Ralitsa recommends writing a note or an email.
"Tell them what they mean to you, how important the relationship is to you, and what you wish you could take back," she says.
"When we write, we give the other person a chance to hear us again and again in the peace and calm of their own time and space."
Apologising is hard. But at the end of the day, it might be better to bite the bullet than to lose someone you actually don't want to lose. Besides, if we're truly at fault, we ought to step up and try to repair the relationship. No?
