Youth Customized Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys
NFL true power rankings for Week 1: Chiefs land in middle of the pack Finally!The regular season is here!And as promised Youth Customized Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , here is the first weekly roundup and aggregation of NFL Power Rankings.If you already read our explanation of how we'll handle power rankings this season, you already have a pretty good idea of how this will go.If you didn't, please give it a look.Before we begin, a couple of things to note: We are adding SBNation's NFL Power Rankings to the roundup of pundit power rankings we'll aggregate every week.SBNation didn't do power rankings last season, but this year, SBNation writer Rebecca Toback will be doing one each week.We're happy to include them.The preseason MMQB power rankings are not yet published.We expect them to be available tomorrow.This is unfortunate because the MMQB and ESPN power rankings are weighted more heavily in our calculations than those of individual writers.And even worse, we have reason to believe that MMQB's poll might favor the Chiefs more than some of the others since we already know two MMQB writers are predicting the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl, and another thinks they'll play in the game.But because everybody else has already published their power rankings — and we know you're anxious to see how the pundits rate the Kansas City Chiefs going into Week 1 — we're going to go without the MMQB for this week only.When the MMQB rankings are published, we'll load them into our model www.chiefsauthorizedshops.com , and you'll see them in next week's regular pundit roundup on Tuesday. And also, this week only, the rankings in parentheses are those from each ranking going into Week 17 last year.Pundit Power Rankings for Week 1Chiefs AFC West Teams Other AFC TeamsMany Chiefs fans are convinced that Patrick Mahomes will make the difference, and the team will contend for the Super Bowl this season.But as you can see here, this view isn't largely shared by these NFL pundits, whose comments about the Chiefs were remarkably consistent.The Chiefs have an NFL true power ranking (pundits only) of 14th heading into the 2018 season.ESPN - Chiefs ranked No. 14NFL.com (Elliot Harrison) - Chiefs ranked No. 17SBNation (Rebecca Toback) - Chiefs ranked No. 16Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer) - Chiefs ranked No. 14Yahoo! Sports (Frank Schwab) - Chiefs ranked No. 12CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) - Chiefs ranked No. 17So despite the presence of Patrick Mahomes, these pundits expect the Chiefs to drop five spots (on average) from last year.But the Chiefs are hardly the team they expect to have the biggest dropoff.The Buffalo Bills — ranked 32nd in three of the rankings — averaged a 15-place drop compared to where they were in Week 17 last year.The Seattle Seahawks averaged a drop of nine spots.On the other hand, the pundits expect both the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers to do much better; the Texans average ranking increases by 16, and the Packers by 14.The New York Giants show an average rise of eight spots compared to 2017's final week.From this beginning Kansas City Chiefs Womens T-Shirt , it's going to be fun to watch how things change after the first week's games are played.And remember... on Wednesdays starting after Week 2 games, we'll also add in rankings from the number crunchers and see how that changes things as the season progresses.Chiefs practice squad tracker: roster moves, trades, claims and more The Kansas City Chiefs have announced their 10-man practice squad.

The politics of genocide - Edward Herman and David Peterson
Herman and Peterson review the Western media's response to several different bloodbaths and criticize how the characterization, language, and ultimately policy responses are shaped by the narratives drafted in support of U.S. client states and agents. We do not necessarily agree with all of it but reproduce it for reference.
Massive protests in France over deportation of Kosovar schoolgirl
Last week Leonarda Dibrani, a 15 year old school girl, was dragged off a bus during a school trip and deported back to Kosovo by French authorities. The incident has brought fresh attention on the issue of immigration in France and has led around 12,000 students on to the streets to protest in support of Leonarda Dibrani, disrupting or closing over 170 schools across Paris, Marseille, Angers, and Grenoble. Many scuffles have broken out with the police as they have tried to dismantle makeshift barricades.
We won't go to Kosovo - No War But The Class War
Conkers or bonkers? Humanitarian war in Kosovo
Explanations in terms of both imperialist gains and a descent into irrationality grasp only part of the reason why Europe and the USA recently went to war in Kosovo. This article argues that the timing of events is explicable in terms of both the end of the Cold War and the recent world financial crisis.

Scott Peacock is an award-winning chef of American Southern cuisine. He began his career as pastry chef at Tallahassee's The Golden Pheasant. From there, he moved to the Georgia governor's mansion, where he worked for two governors over four years. A trip home to Alabama for his grandmother's funeral led to a bite of lemon chess pie, which reawakened his interest in traditional Southern cooking. Shortly thereafter, a national magazine planned to feature one of his menus, and he sought the advice of the doyenne of Southern cooking, Edna Lewis, an African-American chef who moved to New York City from Virginia and had become a legend in culinary circles. Miss Lewis advised Peacock to cook something Southern. Thus began not only a successful redefinition of Southern cuisine, but a lasting friendship and collaboration.
Following his years at the governor's mansion, Peacock became the founding chef of Atlanta's Horseradish Grill. From there, he moved to Watershed restaurant, also in Atlanta, co-owned by Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls and others. He left Watershed in 2010 to devote his time to writing and documentary film.
Peacock's recipes have appeared in numerous publications including USA Today, Atlanta Magazine, Cooking Light, Southern Living, The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Wine Spectator, Food & Wine, and Gourmet. He has been a frequent guest on television, including "The Today Show," Martha Stewart's "Martha," "Good Morning America" and "The CBS Early Show." The James Beard Foundation awarded Scott Peacock Best Chef in the Southeast in May 2007. He is a contributor to America: The Cookbook (Phaidon, October 2017).

Most Outstanding VSA of the Year Nomination: University of Georgia
What are the purpose and goal(s) of the VSA, and how has the VSA met or exceeded those goals?
Our goals focused around growth of new leaders and sustainability of the organization as there would be a major shift in leadership following the 2018/2019 board. By hosting events that would foster passion for VSA amongst members, we motivated them to learn more about our organization's planning structure and step up to leadership roles. We focused on revamping our ACE system to make it more impactful in developing meaningful relationships among members. We hosted events prior to sorting allowing them to get to know their potential family members and sort them based on our observations and their feedback for who they liked. A catalyst for leadership was Night in Saigon 15, where members were impacted by the directors' leadership and wanted to be the next generation resulting in a large number of applicants for NIS 16 directorships. Our elections were filled with many interested candidates that shared insightful ideas on how to improve the club and where they wanted it to go next.
VSA at UGA operates under four pillars: culture, community service, leadership, and friendship. Our VSA promoted Vietnamese cultural awareness through our miniature Vietnamese lessons at general body meetings (GBM), fundraising by selling traditional Vietnamese foods/drinks such as our Vietnamese iced coffee, and planning and showcasing our annual culture show.
We increased our involvement in community service by providing opportunities for our members to volunteer, not only for our campus community, but the Vietnamese community in Georgia. Through food banks, health fairs, voter registration drives, and voter phone banking, which involved reaching out to Asian Americans and encouraging them to vote in local elections, we were able to connect and leave a positive impact on our community. We reach out to our campus community by forming relationships with other organizations and inviting them to our events. We make our presence known on the campus through flyers at campus facilities and tabling at our student center.
We cultivated a feeling of friendship and family through multiple GBMs, outings, our ACE program, and travel, etc. Our ACE program is a mentor/mentee program, which involves sorting our members into smaller families, allowing them to form and foster long lasting relationships. Although we are a Vietnamese Student Association, we seek to be more diverse and welcome people of all racial backgrounds. One of our main goals is inclusivity – allowing anyone and everyone to be apart of our Vietnamese culture.
Finally, with our fourth and newest pillar, we instill leadership by offering numerous opportunities for our members to hold leadership positions. With positions like our executive board positions, annual culture show director positions, freshman liaison positions, and mentor positions in our ACE program, we help our members develop leadership skills that they can take with them throughout the rest of their lives.
Address how the VSA was outstanding in the following areas: recruitment, marketing, outreach to campus community, use of resources (financial, etc.), officer training and event planning.
We strongly encourage the bonds between our members as well as their relationship with the organization through monthly meetings where we discuss upcoming events, opportunities to get involved, and participate in icebreakers as well as monthly outings such as visiting other schools' culture shows, attending regional events, and socials.
In regards to marketing, each and every time we host an event, we try to reach out to as many members and schools as possible. We do this through personal invitation to not only our members but to our friends at other VSAs across the continent to attend Night in Saigon. We specialize in a wide range of promotion including unique event page graphics, flyers, photos, and videos. Our marketing paid off this year with a sold out show at Night in Saigon 15 garnering close to 1,000 attendees.
We host fundraisers to try and help raise money for our organization. We consistently receive a lot of sponsorship donations because we have always kept great relationships with past, current, and potential sponsors. Funds are allocated and budget appropriately for each event and each committee.
When it comes to officer training, once a new executive board is elected, the previous board will have meetings with the new board, transitioning them into the position. Our officers consistently attending a summer retreat, Southeast Leadership Camp, UVSASE's Element Conference, and UNAVSA's annual leadership conference to keep ourselves passionate about the organization.
How did the VSA work together? How did you maximize strengths and overcome weaknesses? How did the group work to establish responsibility and accountability among its members?
Our VSA works together by maintaining a constant line of communication through applications such as Facebook, GroupMe, Snapchat, and Basecamp. A large portion of our workload comes from planning our annual culture, Night in Saigon, where we have the executive board and board of directors work with committees made up of our general members to execute a culture show that embodies the vision of VSA. For general events, we establish responsibility across the executive board by hashing out details of the events and assigning tasks beforehand.
We maximize strengths and weaknesses by asking for help when needed. We emphasized that everyone was here to learn from their position, so even if they were not the strongest at the task, they were assigned it to strengthen their weaknesses and learn how to do it in the future. Members in our organization are always willing to help each other out and help each other improve.
We open up positions for general members to become leaders in the organization in which they have certain expectations and responsibilities to be accountable for.
For example, the family leaders in our Anh Chi Em program are responsible for guiding their Ems/Littles/Mentees in not only VSA but UGA and life in general. We keep them accountable by doing checkups with the family leaders and also interacting with those in their family. We also help them out by planning ACE specific events where their families can have the chance to bond in hopes of sparking independent bonding sessions outside of VSA-sanctioned events. The ACE Program also incorporated a point system for families that were the most active in the organization. Points were awarded for attendance at meetings, events, out-of-state events, winning games/competitions, etc. The family with the highest number of points receive an end of year prize.
We also provide the opportunity of coaching a sport for UVSASE's Annual Olympics. The coach is responsible for coaching the interested parties in how to play the sport as well as motivate them to continue coming out to practices and improving themselves. The coach and players are both accountable for creating an inclusive environment where everyone should feel welcome to play regardless of skill level of the sport.
As leaders of UGA VSA and the Vietnamese community, any disagreements that occurred were solved maturely and professionally and in many cases, the best solution turned out to be a compromise of the two differing opinions turning our own weaknesses into a strength for the event.
At the beginning of each executive board meeting, we would debrief whatever events or meetings we held since the last EBoard meeting discussing pros, cons, deltas, and solutions. It helped us figure out how to improve the next thing we planned as a board, and detailed meeting minutes were recorded to help out future boards if they faced the same problems. The past EBoard's meeting minutes should act as a preventative measure and resource for future boards following resulting in a stronger organization every year.
At the end of every major event (ex. Night in Saigon and Athens by Night, our formal ball), we release a survey to the public asking them for their opinions on the event. These surveys are split into different sections of the event planning process (ex. Decorations, Food, Entertainment, Marketing, Logistics, etc.) where they can give specific opinions on specific aspects of the event. Following a two week period, we close the form, and debrief as an EBoard responding to the concerns and praises given in each survey response. Sometimes, we don't agree with what the surveyor said, but regardless, we take note of their opinion and try to solve it for the next event.
Provide specific examples of how the student group demonstrated growth and development in the 2018-2019 academic year.
Specific examples of our growth are a sold out show and attendance went from 850 to nearly 1000; an active general body going from around 70 to 100 people, and incorporating more leadership positions to encourage participation and character development. We also have a strong alumni network with graduates still involved in the VSA community that we can go to at any time for advice or help. We also maintained our CPP donation of $6000 as well as donating an additional $1000 to UVSASE.

Vanuatu 2-VATU (KM4) Giant Triton
The Giant triton aka Triton's Trumpet (Charonia tritonis) is a very large sea snail found throughout the Indo-Pacific oceans. The shell is prized as a decorative item and can be used as a trumpet. It is also called a "conch" (say "konk") which includes many different medium to large sea snails whose shells have distinctive points at both ends.
The vatu is the unit of currency adopted by Vanuatu in 1981, one year after independence. There are no subdivisions in the currency, and due to inflation the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu ceased to issue 1- and 2-vatu coins in 2011. All prices are rounded to the nearest five.

You are SO crafty, Becky! Sewing, quilting, beading, cooking, card making, knitting, baking...is there nothing you can't do?! :)ReplyDelete
I was doing a little Christmas necklace making myself this weekend, but I do hemp so it is much easier than straight beading. You'll have to show off your finished charms!
Happy crafting, always! You've got quite a knack for it.

What If We Were Called To Live Like Jesus: which we are
As Christians we are indeed called to live like Christ, we really are meant to be reflections of Jesus. The
sad thing though is, we have entered so deep into the hustle that life presents to us that we forget that
we are called to live like Jesus and are representatives of God's kingdom on earth. In Matthew 6:32 the
Bible says "For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye
have need of all these things." The passage goes on in verse 33 to tell us to "….. seek first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you." God expects that our lives
as Christians should have a deeper meaning beyond hustling and seeking of things with only earthly
relevance, our heavenly calling is what differentiates us from unbelievers.
Today's teaching on what if we are called to live like Christ will be focused on Giving. Christianity is
synonymous with giving. At the point of accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we pledged to
give our lives to Him but you see, a lot of us after confessing that totally forget it afterwards. When you
give your life to Christ you have given everything about yourself including your money. God can ask of
things from you at any time. Our life as Christians is built on giving, we give because there is nothing we
have that we did not first receive. From the history of relating with God, giving of our substance has
always been a major part of our relationship with Him and giving is in the quality not the quantity.
The 1st time worship was mentioned in the bible was in relation to sacrificial giving. 1 Chronicles 29:14 is
an example of giving with a knowledge that all we have is indeed given to us by God. The passage says
"But who am I, and what is my people that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for
all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee." In Genesis 22:2-6 we see an example in
Abraham who was willing to give his only son who was given to him anyway to God in sacrifice. The Bible
says "And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the
land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell
thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young
men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went
unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw
the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the
lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you." Abraham was willing to give something he
truly loved. This is such a clear example of worship.
The truth is, in actual sense we are only returning a portion of the so many things God has given to us
when we give. Giving is our greatest test of trust. Until you get to a point where you are willing to give
up everything in your possession to God, you really cannot say you trust Him. In 1 Corinthians 4:7 the
bible says "For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not
receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?", really what do we have
that we did not receive from Him. Today, I encourage you to open your heart to giving because we know
that our God is also a giver and has given us all that we have.

An investigation by Which? has found that up to 29% of plastic packaging is either non- recyclable or difficult to recycle.
The consumer champion looked at 27 own-brand items on sale in 10 major UK supermarkets and discovered that Lidl had the lowest proportion of widely recyclable packaging at 71%.
Iceland came next at 73%, followed by Ocado (74%) and Sainsbury's (75%).
Top performer was Morrisons, with 81% of recyclable packaging. Which? also found that fewer than one in ten customers regularly take packaging back to the supermarket for recycling.
"Which? believes a lot more can be done to increase the amount of recyclable packaging and the way it is labelled so that consumers know what can be recycled and how to recycle it," said Nikki Stopford, Director of Research and Publishing at Which?.
Increasingly, retailers and users of packaging are looking at paper and cardboard as a natural, sustainable and renewable alternative.
A lot of paper packaging is also made from recycled fibre – a positive example of a 'circular economy'

Great logo
Latest Stable Nxt Client: Nxt 1.12.2
Cool that you are helping Nxt to gain more traction in the business world. I really think Nxt is one of the keyplayers in the future of blockchain technology. Businesses want to rely on stable platform's not on platforms which are only promises and need to prove themselves. In that point of view Nxt is far ahead of the competition.
I think Nxt 2.0 will be very serious voor acceptation in the business world. How do you think about that?
Great! Why do you engage in NXT instead of any other cryptocurrency? Is it probably only a bias because you are one of the original founders? Or are there objective reasons ot choose NXT over other altcoins and platforms?
It could be done even without changes to the protocol using the messaging system.
How could that work?

Monetary Policy StatementRef No : 01/19/05 24 Jan 2019 Embargo : Not for publication or broadcast before 1500 hours on Thursday 24 January 2019
At its meeting today, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.25 percent.
The global economy continues to expand. Employment remains firm in the advanced economies, while in Asia, domestic demand is sustained. However, global growth momentum is moderating with slower growth in the major economies. Trade tensions are beginning to have a material impact on global trade and investments. Tightening financial conditions and heightened volatility in financial markets, coupled with country-specific factors ranging from heightened political and policy uncertainty and elevated debt levels, could further weigh on growth prospects.
For Malaysia, latest indicators point towards sustained economic expansion. For 2019, domestic demand will remain the key driver of growth. Private consumption will continue to be underpinned by stable employment and wage growth, while private investment will be supported by on-going multi-year projects in both export- and domestic-oriented industries. Sustained growth in private sector activity is expected to offset lower public spending arising from the ongoing fiscal consolidation by the Government. With moderating global growth, the external sector is likely to soften. Risks to growth are tilted to the downside, primarily from potential escalation of trade tensions and commodity-related shocks. On balance, the Malaysian economy is expected to remain on a steady growth path in 2019.
Headline inflation averaged at 1.0% in 2018. In 2019, inflation is expected to average moderately higher. The impact of the consumption tax policy on headline inflation in 2019 will start to lapse towards the end of the year. However, the trajectory of headline inflation will be dependent on global oil prices. Underlying inflation is expected to remain contained in the absence of strong demand pressures.
The domestic financial markets have remained resilient, despite bouts of volatility due to global developments. Domestic monetary and financial conditions remain orderly and supportive of economic growth. The financial sector is sound, with financial institutions operating with strong capital and liquidity buffers. Importantly, the domestic economy maintains its underlying fundamental strength, with steady economic growth, low unemployment and surplus in the current account of the balance of payments. Bank Negara Malaysia's monetary operations will continue to ensure sufficient liquidity to support the orderly functioning of money and foreign exchange markets and intermediation activity.
At the current level of the OPR, the degree of monetary accommodativeness is consistent with the intended policy stance. The MPC will continue to monitor and assess the balance of risks surrounding the outlook for domestic growth and inflation.

Alejandro Pedregalin väitöskirja "Film & Making Other History: Counterhegemonic Narratives for a Cinema of the Subaltern" tarkastettiin Aalto-yliopistossa 17.6.2015. Vastaväittäjänä toimi professori Ana M. Lopez Tulanen yliopistosta ja kustoksena professori Susanna Helke Aalto-yliopistosta. Väitöskirja on luettavissa osoitteessa http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-60-6099-6
Film & Making Other History studies the ideas informing the creation of a potential counterhegemonic cinema, especially in the field of historical and biographical genres. It aims at demonstrating the important challenges confronted in any creative process trying to formulate histories through dialectical methods and about individuals that themselves were involved in questioning official narratives and history.
With a special emphasis on the contributions of Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, the role of narrative appears here as seminal for elaborating an alternative proposal to what we have called historytelling in cinema for two main reasons:
– On one hand because narrative serves to shape public history socially as an intersubjective and interested realm of knowledge.
– And on the other hand, because narrative is also a mental tool used for understanding the world as a collective enterprise, as suggested by the constructivist views of cognitive psychologist Jerome Bruner.
The study aims at clarifying the perspective taken to approach the questions of history, memory and their forms of representation, noting that these concerns are not neutral: narratives are also the result of specific conceptions of the world. As such, narratives can respond to different interests that go from sustaining hegemony and legitimating its social order to fighting and subverting it.
This work covers a series of questions related to the historical representation of the subaltern and the usage of biographical forms for counterhegemonic purposes. It tries to answer whether a genre like the biopic, which tends to condense historical complexities into the achievements of individual lives, often mythologizing them and used by the dominant culture industries to mould the public historical thinking, can be of any use for the historical narratives, needs and interests of the subaltern.
Thus, considering how hegemonic forms serve to legitimate the established order, we try to answer: can the subaltern appropriate these very forms and transform them into something new capable of driving its conceptions of the world and its demands? Or in other words: can alternative approaches to history make use of hegemonic forms, like the biopic, for representing the subaltern without being absorbed by hegemony itself?
Film & Making Other History rethinks the strategies that could be pursued to achieve this aim through the examination of cultural practices that have faced similar inquiries before, such as Latin American testimonial literature and Third Cinema, as well as an analysis of Spike Lee's Malcolm X. The research explores aspects related to the relationship between history and film, as well as the problems of representation in these fields, inquiries about memory and trauma, marginalized communities, Latin American history, cinema and testimonio literature, critical theory, and subaltern and colonial studies. The work borrows the notion of generic transformation, developed by British scholar Mike Wayne, as well as other reflections in similar direction suggested by authors such as Marcia Landy, Mariano Mestman, Michael Chanan or Thesome Gabriel, with the aim to rethink the potential of the biopic genre and propose a possible testimonial biopic as an alternative to the dominating narratives in the film field.
The study has been carried out using a practice-led methodology whereby reflections accompany the research and writing process of the film script They Call Me Rodolfo Walsh (Me Llaman Rodolfo Walsh). This script is based on a real character and events: the life and work of Argentine desaparecido writer and journalist Rodolfo Walsh, who was one of the foundational figures of Latin American testimonial literature. As the script is a tale about the past and a narrative construction of a life, selected and organized for dramatic purposes, while considering this work within the frame of my own activity as a screenwriter and film director, it became necessary to ponder on history as a system of interpretation and representation of the past, as well as on the methods and the varied narrative forms it can take.
The focus in the fields of historical and biographical film practices is connected to the fact that this research is primarily orientated to these very realms of narrative and history-making. The interest in these practices is related to the massive effect that they have in forming, moulding, manipulating and legitimating our public historical thinking, as constant controversies around these types of productions prove.
The research is presented in two parts. The first is dedicated to inquiries, obstacles and demands related to the realms of interpretation and representation of history and memory in general, with a particular focus on how these have been managed in the film field. This part also includes the main notions that serve as the ground over which the study is built, with a special focus on Gramsci's contributions regarding hegemony and the subaltern, common sense and good sense, and the role of the intellectual in forging the realms that are in social dispute. Among other aspects, this part also examines the contributions of cultural critic Walter Benjamin regarding the shifting of the historical subject, and studies radical historian Howard Zinn's thoughts on the role of the historian as citizen, underscoring the possibilities of history to incite active commitment to social change.
In this first part, we also explore the insights of relevant authors like Marcia Landy or Robert Rosenstone in the field of the historical film, and Geroge Custen and Dennis Bingham in the field of the biographical film, with their links to the reflections of Gramsci and Benjamin, but also to others like those of Theodor Adorno and Leo Löwenthal regarding the alienating role of culture industries, and Roland Barthes concerning the formation of myths in contemporary media culture.
The second part of the study is dedicated to cultural practices and interventions that have proposed alternative ways to manage those very questions and the difficulties faced in their elaboration and re-elaboration of counterhegemonic forms of representation, transcending the taken for granted boundaries of dominant narratives. This part focuses on the foundations and experiences of Latin American testimonial literature or testimonio and Third Cinema, first as part of the New Latin American Cinema Wave, before being expanded as a revolutionary film practice. In this part we also analyse the phenomenon of Spike Lee's film Malcolm X as a possible counterhegemonic biographical form.
Studying the contributions of these practices to the cultural expression of subaltern sectors might inspire those streams seeking for alternative historical and biographical representations today within a tradition of dialectical practice and theory. For this purpose, this second part takes a series of relevant study cases that serve to exemplify similar goals, such as the reflections of writers like Julio Cortázar or Eduardo Galeano, or the statements of filmmakers Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino after their seminal film The Hour of the Furnaces, and the aesthetical proposals of Cuban filmmaker Tomás Gutiérrez Alea. In this part, the research also introduces the relevance of Rodolfo Walsh and his connection to the central themes of it, tracing links between his figure and the aims of the proposal.
Through the examination of these practices, the work explores the dialectics between hegemony and the subaltern in order to elaborate the theoretical framework for the proposal. It is through these analyses that we address the question of narrative transformation, with a special emphasis in the realm of genres, as agreed conventions that serve for both cognitive and communicative purposes. Thus, considering the massive potential of films in this regard, and the role of genres in channelling this powerful features, we could argue that generic transformations can serve to alter the way audiences construct their conceptions of the world, and, by extension, the dominant narratives in society.
As this study is intimately linked to the research and writing process of a script based on a historical character, it has been necessary to study not only the limitations of the historical film in this matter, but also the problematic characteristics of the biopic, which might prevent the emergence of alternative forms of historical consciousness. It is also because of this, that we embrace the notion of generic transformation, as introduced by Mike Wayne, but inherent to the practices under study, and we apply it to these fields of film practice. And thus, in order to expand it to the realms of the biopic, the study suggests a possible label for the change we aim for: testimonial biopic.
Therefore, testimonial biopic is a proposal for generic transformation inspired by alternative narratives of historical and biographical representation coming from counterhegemonic cultural practices. We must caution that this term does not aim to describe previous practices or the works of others, or become a formula or schematic recipe. Instead, it solely appears regarding the work done on the script They Call Me Rodolfo Walsh.
The term makes an explicit reference to Latin American testimonio as a narrative of the subaltern to underscore the shared concerns on historicity, politicisation, critical commitment and cultural specificity, something also common to Third Cinema and other experiences we have seen. Thus, the specific mention of testimonial literature in the label is also a tribute to the work of Walsh, as the precursor of the genre and the central character of the script attached to this proposal, because studying his life and work originally inspired the whole project.
Nevertheless, as the script does not exist as a film yet, the use of the label here is more a suggestion or an inspirational tool than an empirical statement. For this reason, we do not focus on the aesthetical or stylistic features in connection to testimonio or Third Cinema when describing the testimonial biopic, but instead on its methodological aspects concerning three fields of commitment: investigative, critical and political commitment.
Through this proposal and method, we intend to develop a counterhegemonic plan of action when dealing with inquiries similar to those governing this study. Testimonial biopic is then proposed as a narrative strategy to bring historical figures from the subaltern sectors -and very especially those whose work was notably significant in their organic commitment to social change- to the knowledge of wider popular audiences.
We do not propose a constitution of a genre or subgenre from the scratch. On the contrary, considering the values of the existing genres and the aspects that have made them popular and successful for their social goals, it is a must to attend at their positive elements in this regard. Only by dialoguing with those, as well as with their limitations critically, we are able to build an alternative proposal of biographical representation that answers the needs of the subaltern.
Therefore, as a plan of action committed to a wider political agenda of social change, testimonial biopic offers to the historical and biographical film practices a program to rethink its commonsensical forms and give a qualitative leap towards, in Gramsci's terms, a new good sense, where official history is confronted and the memories, aspirations, struggles and references of the subaltern can get represented.

Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Baseball is a fickle game. On any given day, the worst team in the major leagues can beat the best team. On any given day the worst hitter in the game can go 4 for 4 and the best 0 for 5, while the best pitcher can take the mound without his stuff and get rocked as the worst finds an unfamiliar feel and pitches a complete game shutout. A large part of this is that baseball, more than any other sport, is a game dependent to a large degree on luck. It's the line-drive right at a fielder versus the weak grounder that finds a hole, the hanging curve that's taken for a high strike versus the one with a sharp break and great placement that gets deposited in the seats.
These are all reasons that the two tremendous losses the Yankees suffered at the hands of the Red Sox this weekend (total score, 24-3) don't really bother me all that much. It was clear that Pavano and Mussina simply didn't have it and that Clement and Wells (who found that famous curve after the first inning on Sunday) did. In and of itself, that doesn't really reveal any essential flaws in this Yankee team other than the fact that they were simply off their game two days in a row. Consider the following:
Tuesday through Thursday the Tigers are swept by the Yankees. Friday through Sunday the Orioles are swept by the Tigers. Saturday and Sunday the Red Sox humiliate the Yankees. Monday night, the Red Sox get crushed by the Orioles (8-1).
There's no logic to that. As of this afternoon, the Orioles are the best of those four teams (.620 winning percentage), the Tigers the worst (.479) and the Red Sox and Yankees are tied, four games behind the O's in second place in the AL East with .540 winning percentages. One or two, or even three-game sample sizes are simply not enough to determine the relative quality of two or more teams. Heck, take the seven days since Tuesday:
Orioles 5-2
Yankees 4-2
Tigers 3-3
Red Sox 2-5
Then there are these guys:
Royals 0-6
Yeah, they're that bad. But given the nature of the game, even the Royals, who are indeed the worst team in baseball (.260 winning percentage, even worse than the Colorado Springs Sky So . . . er, Rockies at .286), win a game every now and then (once every four days or so, to be precise). Having been without an official manager since Tony Peña resigned exactly three weeks ago today, the Royals have just hired Buddy Bell, who will manage his first game for Kansas City tonight. With a new skipper in the dugout and their best pitcher on the mound, the exciting young phenom Zach Greinke, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Royals stop that six-game losing streak tonight despite being clearly overmatched by the invading Yankees. That's just how this game works.
That said, the Yankees should feast on the Royals over the next three days, which would be a nice way to kick off the year's longest road trip (12 games in four cities).
More on the Royals themselves below the fold.

Outside of Sweeney, Stairs and Greinke there's not much to see here. Yes, Matt Stairs is one of the three best players on this team. 'Nuff said? Perhaps, but why stop there? The Royals are 25th in the majors in runs scored and above only the Angels (!) in on-base percentage (.304). Their team ERA is the worst in baseball (non-Colorado division), thanks in large part to a devastating 6.01 starters mark.
In the bullpen, Rule-5 lefty Andrew Sisco has been a great pick-up (2.83 ERA, 10.99 K/9) and Mikes Wood and MacDougal have managed to stay better than average at the back end, but that "Big" Three is about all that's worth mentioning there.
The rest of the team is comprised of familiar journeyman veterans or youngsters that Kansas City actually hopes will stick (Buck, Teahan, Gotay, Hernandez, Wood). But there are five current Royals whose identity just might stump even the most committed fans. For those who might find themselves asking, "who are these guys?" . . .
Current right fielder Emil Brown is a journeyman speedster with a career .334 slugging who last played in the majors in 2001 for the Pirates and Padres and is with his seventh organization in five years.
Matt Diaz is a 27-year-old rookie outfielder who was unable to break through with the Devil Rays.
Ambiorix Burgos and Leo Nunez are a 21-year-old Dominicans who pitched in A-ball last year (Burgos in the Royals' system, Nunez in the Pirates').
Steve Stemle is a 28-year-old rookie who was converted to relief in the Cardinals organization last year.
Greinke takes on Kevin Brown tonight in the central time zone. Game time 8:10.
On the subject of innumeracy - are there bad teams that do better than their Pythagorean record, and v.v? Somehow I've got the impression that over-0.500 teams do better than predicted and sub-.500 do worse, but maybe I'm just misremembering or maybe it's the obvious selection effect.
I wonder if Giambi will be in the line up. Hopefully, the Yankee O gets rolling before they head to Minnie over the weekend. Anyone know if/when Santana is scheduled to pitch?
We just manage to miss Santana but we do get Lohse, Radke, and Silva. I wish I could view the two terrible, terrible losses with as much equanimity as Cliff but it was another instance of the team coming up real small in a big series. But what do you expect when you start a right side of the infield of Rey Sanchez and Russ Johnson in the rubber match? And 3 straight single-digit pitch innings against Wells was unconscionable. Isn't anyone on the Yankee bench in control? Cliff, I hope you're right that it's just two bad games, but oh the foreshadowing sure looks bad.
Yanks miss both Santana and Radke in Minny, which is a nice trick.
Meanwhile, rilkefan, both bad and good teams both exceed and fall short of their Pythagorean expectations. Finishing above or below Pythagorus actually has little to nothing to do with the quality of a team (from what I've seen). And thanks for catching the precise comment, that was intentional.
Al, Cliff,
I have a question for you. My brother-in-law, who is a big ChiSox fan(irrelevant in this case), is going to be in NY for the July 4th game against Baltimore. He didn't want to pay $40+ for an upper deck seat. Do you know the best way for him to get 1 or 2 decent seats for a reasonable price? Would it be best for him to just walk up to the stadium? Any pointers would be helpful.
Yeah, I knew the "precise" joke was too subtle to be random.
Beyond that, he should bear in mind that Tier Box seats (front upper deck) are excellent seats in Yankee Stadium, at least if they're in foul territory.
Marcus... Best arm in RF?
I went to Fenway tonight, and Wade Miller was excellent. Double ouch.
Now, with regard to Womack's gettin picked off, enough is bloody enough already. You're right of course, Cliff, about the spectral influence of luck, but it's only legit to invoke luck when the team is otherwise playing tight baseball, mastering everything they actually do have control over.
Time and time again this team has played slop ball (and not just in the field, but on the basepaths, which is just utterly inexcusable), even as they were tearing through the lesser teams. Honestly, I find it alarming and though your points are well-taken, they fail to mollify.
Brown was garbage.
The lineup was garbage.
I'm too peeved to write complex sentences.
Anybody old enough to remember Munson coming up? (raise your hand). He was fairly highly touted and won ROY his first year with a .302 average. He was not a prototypical catcher, and had a weird throw to 2nd (however with an extremely quick release). His 'sophmore' year, he batted .251, and was still funny looking (with 16 hrs total over 2 years). Wonder if he would have made it to his third year if he was on this Yankee team.
Dandy Don was a good looking, but somewhat average player. Good D, solid guy, but not much pop. In his first 100 games, Mattingly managed 4 hrs and .280/.330/.405. Not bad for a Yankee team that was not good. Wonder if he would have made it to his next year if he was on this Yankee team.
Bernie was a skinny kid, fast on his feet, but not very imposing. In his first 3 years he averaged .261 with 20 hrs combined, and about a .720 OPS. Not bad for a Yankee team that was not good. Wonder if he would have made it to his next year if he was on this Yankee team.
There are some guys who come up dripping with talent, who will obviously be good. Others, under the right tutalage, take time to develope. If you want instant gradification, you are gonna miss out on a lot of potentially good/great players.
It's nice to have RJ around, and I think he will do better. But he cost us:
J. Vazquez, Brad Halsey, D. Navarro and 9 mil. Add that 9 mil to the difference in JV and RJ's salary, and poof, you have Carlos Beltran.
So why did we take RJ over J. Vazquez, Brad Halsey, D. Navarro and Carlos Beltran? Basically to punish JV for losing the 7th game of the LCS and pitching poorly for 1/2 season. JV and Brown (part of a staff that won 101 games) lost that 7th game, but a WHOLE BUNCH of Yankees batted .200 over THREE games... and that's why we lost.
And if you hate paying Brown 15 mil for this year, RJ will be making a lot more in 2007.
For lack of ONE timely hit in game 4 OR 5 OR 6, we could have been looking at a young team of Vazquez, Halsey, Navarro, Beltran, Jetes, ARod, (re-sign) Matsui, Wang, Cano for years to come.
Last night, once again, we saw the lackluster 'Womackian Yankees'.
As shitty as Giambi is this year, he has hit a HR every 30 abs. Womack hits a HR every 135 abs. Giambi's OPS is .120 higher. Giambi can have a bad year and still post an OPS +150 over Womack. Bernies OPS is .080 higher then Womack's.
Yup.... putting Womack in LF certainly shook up this team. I don't know if I can stand an entire season of this.
Our season tickets are in the tier seats, section 32 row H and you get a fantastic view of the entire stadium, including bullpen and big screen etc. I think the tickets are $19 each for individual games, a little extra will get you tier boxes. You can get stuck with crappy loge seats for that 40 bucks. The bleachers are a fun way to see the game without being ripped off too.
I will pass on the information.

May 24: So farewell then, Sir Robin Saxby. One of Britain's great technology entrepreneurs said today he will be retiring as chairman of ARM Holdings, the company he helped found 15 years ago. ARM is now worth £1.6bn and provides chips for 90 per cent of the world's mobile phone handsets. Saxby, 59, also saw the company through the madness of the dotcom boom, when ARM shares hit £10. Today, they are off 2 per cent at 118½p. He will retire from the board in October, when he takes up the role of president of the Institute of Engineering and Technology but will retain the honorary title of chairman emeritus at ARM. He will be succeeded by Doug Dunn, 61, who is already on the board as a non-executive.
Eurotunnel has reached a preliminary agreement with some of its creditors about restructuring part of its £6bn debt. The group has reached a deal with the ad hoc committee representing holders of half the debt, which is progress of sorts. Strangely, however, there is no mention in Eurotunnel's statement of any role for Goldman Sachs or Macquarie. We are checking why. Vinci, the French construction group which had been talking about playing a role in the restructuring, has pulled out, although it isn't clear yet why either.
GCap shares are up a bit despite some very ugly full-year results, which show a 40 per cent decline in pre-tax profits and a 26 per cent decline in Capital Radio's revenues during April and May. To some degree, this surely reflects the pain that the station is going to have to suffer if it is going to get its ad rates up by cutting the number of commercials it runs by about half, as it is doing. GCap managed to find some costs it could cut, which is what is supporting the shares today. For now, chief executive Ralph Bernard is still being given the benefit of the doubt.
Surprisingly, GCap said it and other media groups, especially TV, had not experienced the advertising boost they had expected around the World Cup next month. Which reminds me: let us know how you and your office are going to watch the World Cup. Will you have it on your computer? Is your office making any special arrangements, or banning it completely?
Doubts surround the £800m flotation of CMC, as reported in today's Telegraph and Independent. Financial News says the currency and derivatives broker was last night marketing its IPO at nearly a quarter less than planned but might pull it altogether because of the market instability. This would be very disappointing for founder and boss Peter Cruddas.
We also have a number of results and trading updates from retailers. They include Kingfisher, GUS, Kesa and Mothercare. Elsewhere, Kelda, the utilities group, warned that it would be hit by rising energy costs and Scottish Power reporting strong annual profits while warning of more price rises.

Be sure to get your Montreal Canadiens tickets to see one of the most celebrated sports franchises of our time! Read Below..
Montreal Canadiens Tickets: A Storied Franchise
The Montreal Canadiens were founded in the early 1900s and have built a glorious and rich tradition of winning over the past century. The Canadiens have boasted an incredible cast of hall of fame players over the years and continue to this day to produce incredible talent. Players like Maurice "The Rocket" Richard, Jean Beliveau, Ken Reardon, Toe Blake, Guy Lafleur, Boom Boom Geffrion, Larry Robinson, Ken Dryden, and Bob Gainey have become household names among hockey lore.
More Stanley Cups than Any Other
Feel the winning tradition with your own Montreal Canadiens tickets! The Canadiens have won more Stanley cups than any other franchise. They have amassed no less than 24 Stanley Cups throughout their amazing history. On multiple occasions, they have won the Stanley Cup back to back, and from 1956 to 1960, they actually reeled off five consecutive championships! They again dominated the ice starting in 1976, as they would win the cup four years in a row.
This run of championships was in large part due to the list of all stars on their roster at the time, including Larry Robinson, Guy Lafleur, Yvon Cournoyer, Pete Mahovlich, Steve Shutt, Serge Savard and Guy Lapointe! During this stretch, the Canadiens set a record in 1977 for the fewest losses in one season, losing only 8 games out of their 80 game schedule.
Today's Winning Ways
Get your Montreal Canadiens tickets today and be a part of this amazing franchise. Today, the team continues to build on its winning tradition. Center Tomas Plekanec uses his speed and finesse to lead the team in points, and right wing Brian Gionta, a solid 20 goal scorer year in and year out, leads the team in goals and is well on his way to another productive season.
The true sniper on the ice is left wing Mike Cammalleri! Watch as he often drops to one knee while he rips off a lightning quick wrister in very tight quarters with great accuracy. This technique led to a career high 39 goals two years ago, and he is on pace for another 30 this year!
The Shrine: Home to Montreal Canadiens Tickets
With such rich tradition and history, the Canadiens should play in a museum! Moving from the storied Montreal Forum in 1996, the Canadiens now play their home games at the Bell Centre, a new state of the art facility that holds 21,000 for hockey games. However, the history still lives on in this building, so be sure to get your Montreal Canadiens tickets to be part of living history!

By Kari Schleher, Laboratory Manager
Archaeologists use—among many other things—the kinds of pottery vessels found in various locations to infer how different types of structures, or different areas of a site, were used. Jars were typically used to store and cook food; bowls are believed to have been used primarily to serve food. So the relative proportions of these vessel forms in different parts of a site are important clues to the activities that took place in those locations.
It's an approach that's been used by archaeologists for decades in the Mesa Verde region. For example, high bowl-to-jar ratios in some kivas and protokivas during the Pueblo I through Pueblo III periods (A.D. 750–1300) have led several researchers to postulate that feasting took place in these structures (Blinman 1989; Potter 2000; Potter and Ortman 2004). By "feasting," archaeologists mean gatherings of people that extended beyond one family or household and therefore had broad social implications. Such events would have brought members of a community together to share food, perhaps as part of group rituals or ceremonies. Food prepared in jars in household residences may have been brought in bowls, potluck-style, to the gathering place, eventually resulting in the accumulation of higher percentages of bowls (and bowl sherds) in such places.
So, does this same pattern hold up at earlier, Basketmaker III (A.D. 500–750) sites, like the Dillard site? Do the relative quantities of bowl and jar sherds provide clues to where certain activities took place and how different parts of the site may have been used? In 2012, our lab staff, volunteers, and interns began analyzing pottery from the site to help answer these questions. Our preliminary analysis focused on approximately 600 sherds from the collapsed roofing of the great kiva and from deposits associated with two nearby household areas, Block 200 (south of the great kiva) and Block 300 (just north of the great kiva). The household contexts include pit structure floor, postabandonment fill, and midden (trash) deposits.

Having cycled, hiked and run in dozens of physical challenges over the past 24 months, our employees are rightly proud of their incredible fundraising effort for our former partner charity, Prostate Cancer UK. Between them, they smashed the £100,000 target since the partnership between The Severfield Foundation and Prostate Cancer UK began in 2016.
"Because our industry is mainly male, and because it's one of the UK's biggest cancers, we knew money had to be ploughed into prostate cancer research," said Heather Williams, trustee of The Severfield Foundation.
The Foundation chose Prostate Cancer UK as our first major charity partner in 2016, and the collaboration went on to become a shining example of how an organisation that shares our values, can help us deliver our charitable objectives.
"We'd like to thank everyone whose tireless efforts brought the partnership to life, and thank The Severfield Foundation for their commitment to our cause," says James Beeby, Director of Fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK. "There have been some incredible achievements over the last two years, with staff participating in RideLondon, the London Marathon and Great North Run for us in both 2017 and 2018. Many others also did the Berlin and Paris marathons and our Football to Amsterdam cycle ride, as well as their own challenge events."
As well as fundraising, many Severfield employees benefited from awareness talks about prostate cancer, learning about the risks, and how to spot signs and symptoms.
James added, "Thanks also to Severfield for generously match-funding all of their employees' fundraising, we're able to fund major research into better diagnosis, treatment and prevention to stop the prostate cancer being a killer," says James. "We couldn't be happier with the way in which Severfield and their Foundation has supported us over the past two years."
Towards the end of 2018 The Severfield Foundation selected a new national partner charity for the next two years – Alzheimer's Society – so that our employees can continue to raise critical funds and spread awareness of dementia.

In the initial phase, treating the skin can be so frustrating. At times you may feel that you're not receiving the results you expected. In this blog, we will be giving all tips to boost skin results while using Perfec-Tone products.
Getting The Perfec Effect
Swipe left for tips on getting the best results while using Perfec-Tone.
#1: No Touching
Don't touch, scratch, burst bumps, or pick your face; this causes more bacteria to enter the pores and create more breakouts.
#2: Avoid Abrasion
During treatment scrubbing and picking already peeling skin will cause more irritation and cause patchy looking skin.
#3: Wash Your Hands
Wash your hands thoroughly before applying products to your skin.
#4: No Makeup
Do not wear makeup; if necessary, wear very light makeup and make sure it's non-comedogenic (doesn't clog pores). Wear the Refining Crème or Resurfacing Crème as a moisturizing base and wash your face twice after removal.
#5: Waxing May Cause Rips
Whenever you're using products that restore your skin, waxing may cause the skin to tear, leaving flat scabs. If this happens, use the Sculpting Serum and Refining Crème to remove it quickly.
#6: Wash Warm, Rinse Cool
Wash face and neck with Exfoliating Cleanser or Sulfur Soap with warm water. Rinse off skin in cool water. Warm water opens your pores to allow impurities to be rinsed out more thoroughly and cold water closes them back up.
#7: Use Separate Towels
Use a separate towel than what you use for your body and hands or a hand towel for drying your face.
#8: Change Pillow Case
Change pillow cases (sheets) at least once a week to prevent sleeping on dirt and bacteria build up.
#9: Beware of Mixing
Be aware that mixing Perfec-Tone products with other skincare products may cause irritation and rashes.
#10: Using Sculpting Serum
Use the Sculpting Serum before applying your Resurfacing Crème or Refining Crème during your first-time usage. This will prevent irritation.
#11: Relieving Irritation
If your skin is irritated and you have not taken precautionary measures, use the Miracle Moisturizer and Sculpting Serum on the affected area.
#12: Avoid Sun Exposure
When using the Resurfacing Crème, avoid long sun exposure. Although it has sunscreen for general protection, it's not enough for long time frames.
#13: Avoid Oily, Sugar and Dairy Foods
Avoid eating dairy or fried, greasy foods as they trigger cystic acne and breakouts.
#14: Drinks Lots of Water
Drink plenty of water to continuously flush out your system to prevent internal build up that results in breakouts.
#15: Clean Headset Devices
Regularly clean phones and headset devices. Not cleaning your headsets can lead to a buildup of dirt and bacteria on your face and results in cheek and jaw acne. Usually heavier on the side you use your phone.
#16: Temporary Breakouts
When using the Resurfacing or Refining Crème, impurities from deep within will come to the surface, especially with cystic acne. This is temporary and needs to be removed through continuous cleansing or facials until all impurities are gone from within your skin. This results in longer lasting results.

Beer bloggers across the country took Boulder, Colorado by storm last weekend. It was the first ever beer bloggers conference, and what a time it was.
First the Great American Beer Festival in my backyard, and then the beer bloggers conference just a short drive away. I'm thinking this move to Colorado was a good idea.
The festivities started on Thursday night when I met up with a fellow beer blogger I've been anxious to meet, Peter from SimplyBeer. He is also the creator of the Iron Brewer contest which yours truly is competing in over the next few months.
After a couple beers with Peter and his friend Scott at the Falling Rock Tap House in Denver, I made my way down to Dry Dock Brewery to pick up the stash of beer they very generously gave me to share over the weekend. Then Sarah and I hit the road to Boulder in the morning for three days of presentations, dinners, and of course, beer.
I could go on forever and bore you to death about every detail, but I do like you guys and will spare you my ramblings. Instead, here are my top 3 moments from the beer bloggers conference.
1. The Night of Many Bottles
The bottle share on Friday night was beyond anything I imagined in terms of quantity and quality. The entire room was lined with tables filled the best beer each blogger had to offer. There's no way I can remember all I tried, but some of ones that stood out were Dark Lord Stout, Sink the Bismark, and everything from New Glarus. I now love New Glarus.
The culmination of the night was a tasting of BrewDog's End of History, a 55% beer of which only 12 were made. What's even crazier is that each bottle was placed inside a dead stuffed animal. The critter at our event was a cute little stoat with a longneck shooting out of his mouth.
Only 4 people got to taste the beer, and unfortunately I wasn't one of them. Honestly with the amount of great beer in the room I didn't care one bit. I did make sure I got a photo op with Mr. Stoat though.
Tatiana over at FugglyBrew created this video of the bottle share:
2. Rapid Beer Blogging
This event on Saturday is the most fun I've ever had reviewing beer. Think of speed dating with beer.
Twelve brewery representatives walked around to each table with a beer of their choice. They had 5 minutes to pour everyone samples and tell us about the beer as we blogged/tweeted our reviews.
You should have witnessed this scene. The room in an uproar, brewery people red in the face from yelling, bloggers throwing back beer after beer as they type furiously, and the whole time I'm thinking, "Ok Billy, DO NOT spill beer on your new MacBook."
My reviews went from very detailed flavor notes in the first one to "Hey look it's Todd from Breckenridge!" in the last one.
Brewpublic did an excellent job of summarizing every beer we tried on their speed blogging recap. I'm glad they did it, because I sure as hell wasn't able to.
3. The "Networking"
I put networking in quotations because when you go conferences that's normally what you call it, but with the beer bloggers it's hard to call it that. It was just hanging out with friends. A corny pick for #3, I know, but honestly one of the best parts was just getting to know the people there. As connected as the internet has made us with Twitter, Facebook, and blogging, there's nothing like getting to meet someone face to face.
The chit chatting with the rest of the group over fantastic beers was worth the price of admission on its own. To hear their stories, frustrations, and goals made me realize what an awesome community I belong to. Which leads me into…
My offer for you
If you want, I'll help you start a beer blog.
Have you ever thought about it? If so, don't let the technical stuff hold you back.
Beer blogging really is a rewarding experience, and I recommend it for anyone who loves craft beer and wants to get the most out of it. This weekend reminded me how much fun I have being part of this craft beer revolution, and blogging is a great way to share and document your experiences.
Now if you've wanted a beer blog but have hesitated because of the technical side, I'm here to help. I'll set up your beer blog for free. All I ask is that you use my Hostgator link (I'll email it to you) so that they give me part of their cut.
You see I'm a bit of a geek and like to set up websites. I'm not a designer or code monkey so you'll have to go somewhere else for a custom site, but I am good with WordPress and can get you set up with that very quickly.
Here's what I can do:
- Help you get set up with your own domain and hosting account.
- Install and configure WordPress with the theme of your choice. There are thousands of free themes out there.
- Install up to 5 plugins that will allow you do cool things on your blog like add sharing buttons, videos, tabbed menus, and much much more.
- Make sure your blog is optimized for search so that people find you when they search Google. I'll also give you my tips on making your site search friendly.
- Set up your Feedburner account so you know how many people subscribe to your site, and Google Analytics so you can see how many people visit your site, how long they stay, etc.
- You can also ask me anything you want about getting video on the web, finding pictures to use, setting up a newsletter, or whatever else is bugging you.
If you're interested, email me through the contact form with "I Want a Beer Blog" in the subject.
I've set up a bunch of blogs for friends and would be happy to do it for you. In my opinion, the more beer bloggers, the better.
Question: If you had attended the conference, which beer would you bring to the bottle share? Or which beer did you bring?

Who Says It's Always Toxic?
George Faller
As a society, we often appear to be waging a war on stress, but we have a choice about whether to view stressful situations as being invariably toxic or as opportunities to face a healthy challenge. This experiential workshop will present a therapeutic model that assumes that all too often it's our confused relationship with stress that's the problem, not the stress itself. You'll focus on how to:
- Empathetically explore and reframe the stresses in clients' lives to provide a pathway that allows important vulnerabilities to emerge
- Turn post-traumatic stress into post-traumatic growth by learning how to use stress to increase energy, focus, performance, meaning, and resilience
- Evoke the challenge response (instead of fight or flight) to help clients discover that regular experiences of stress can empower them
- Integrate insights from cutting-edge science and spiritual traditions to transform clients' responses to everyday stressors
- Reframe society's one-sided view of stress as negative in a way that inspires client resiliency
George Faller, LMFT, is the founder of the New York Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy. He teaches at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and is the director of training at the Center for Hope and Renewal. He's the author of Sacred Stress: A Radically Different Approach to Using Life's Challenges for Positive Change.
