Rick Moranis's big glasses and nerdy goofball humor appeared in some of the biggest Hollywood comedies of the 80s and 90s. In just a few years, he starred in Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Those movies filled theaters, sold tons of merchandise, and made Moranis a star. And then, at the peak of this fame, Moranis decided to retire. His wife passed away in 1991, and Moranis decided to become a full-time stay-at-home dad.
Nearly a decade after pretty much signing out of show business, Moranis returned in 2005 with a Grammy-winning album of original music, "Agoraphobic Cowboy." And now Moranis has released his second album, My Mother's Brisket and Other Love Songs, a collection of comedic music inspired by Moranis's Jewish upbringing in Toronto.
Moranis talks to Jesse about his first job selling hockey programs in the nosebleed section, SCTV and the ironic outcome of his famous nose-thumbing at Canadian content laws, and his decision to be a stay-at-home father.

Carolyn Kellogg, book critic and staff writer for the LA Times, joins us to recommend two new books to put on the top of your summer reading list.
First, she recommends The Unknowns by Gabriel Roth. This debut novel set in 2002 follows a Silicon Valley millionaire whose brain betrays him whenever he tries to do the right thing. Parties, ecstasy, sex -- and that's just the first few pages.
Kellogg's next pick is Boris Kachka's Hothouse: The Art of Survival and the Survival of Art at America's Most Celebrated Publishing House, Farrar, Straus, and Giroux. Kachka, a veteran New York Magazine journalist, delves into the juicy history of Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, the publishing house of Tom Wolfe, Joan Didion, Philip Roth, and Jonathan Franzen. The book focuses on the personal lives of founder Roger Straus and editor Robert Giroux and provides an insider's look at the secret, ferocious world of publishing.

What if the folks behind the second "Taken" movie had just given a little more thought to tying the series together? Comedian Doug Benson considers the Taken series, with Liam Neeson, in this clip from his new album, Gateway Doug.
Doug Benson hosts a weekly podcast, Doug Loves Movies, and hosts the ongoing live series, Doug Benson's Movie Interruptions.
Whether he was touring with Otis Redding, backing countless soul stars in the Stax studio, or composing his own instrumental hits like "Green Onions," Booker T. Jones, along with his band The MG's, defined the sound of southern sixties' soul.
Born in Memphis in 1944, Jones was gigging around town before he had entered high school. By college, he was a seasoned session musician and multi-instrumentalist with a hit single to his name. And by 1968, when Stax Records came under new ownership, he had played on over 600 Stax records, including "Try A Little Tenderness" and "These Arms Of Mine".
Perhaps even more impressively, Jones hasn't stopped. He continues to team up with some of the biggest names in jazz, soul, rock, and classical music and, at nearly 70 years old, he has no plans of letting up anytime soon.
Jones tells us stories about the first time Otis Redding sat down next to him at a piano, producing "Ain't No Sunshine" with the (as-yet-unknown) singer-songwriter Bill Withers, and Jones' plans to continue making all kinds of music.
Jones' new album, Sound The Alarm, is out now.

This week, the Cinefamily in Los Angeles is hosting a unique film festival that features top comedians presenting movies that were personally inspiring or influential for them. The festival runs from the 12th to the 14th and features Garry Shandling (screening The King of Comedy); Margaret Cho (showing Darling); Paul F. Tompkins (presenting Topsy-Turvy); Doug Benson (discussing Cocktail!); Kevin Pollak (screening The In-Laws); and Andy Kindler (presenting Modern Romance). Each comedian will introduce the film, perform, and conduct a Q and A afterwards. It's sure to be a very fun and interesting series. I'm planning to attend and, if you are in the Los Angeles area, you should definitely join me. You can get tickets - which are only $10 - here.
The festival is being produced and hosted by actor and comedian Wayne Federman. Mr. Federman took a few minutes yesterday to tell me a bit about the aptly-named 1st Annual Wayne Federman International Film Festival and how it came to be.
Rebecca O'Malley (RO): What inspired you to create this festival?
Wayne Federman (WF): It wasn't any one particular epiphany. It was a number of events that happened over several years. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine, Rob Cohen, who is a writer for The Simpsons, rented out a movie theater and showed the old Batman movie from the 1960s. It was very fun because it was communal and because he loved this film. And that really stuck with me as a fun, happy memory. Then, a few years later, I saw Patton Oswalt present a movie I'd never heard of called The Foot Fist Way. And it was so great to watch Patton introduce it because – one, he's funny. Two, he was passionate about the movie. And three – what I liked most about it – was that he had no connection to the film. He wasn't in it and trying to promote it for that reason. He wasn't reminiscing about what it was like on the set – none of the usual type of presentation that you might encounter during a screening at a film festival. This was just someone I greatly admire being a fan of something he loved – and that was intriguing for me.
That's when I had the idea to bring in comedians and have them pick a film - with the only criterion being that they cannot have been involved with the movie's production. Then we'll show that film – do some stand up at the top - do a Q and A at the end – and just talk about this movie. Just nerd out over it. I thought that would be tremendously fun.
And every comedian that I asked to do it said "yes". They all liked the idea.
RO: That's wonderful. How long did it take you to put the event together?
WF: It came together rather quickly. In a couple of weeks, actually. I knew all of the comedians. And I knew someone at Cinefamily. The key, really, was Garry Shandling. He was the first one to say "yes" – and he was so enthusiastic, so encouraging. He was very excited to see his movie selection in the theater again.
RO: Did he immediately know which film he wanted to present?
WF: He had a couple of ideas, but he kept coming back to The King of Comedy. He felt that it had a connection to Larry Sanders because of its backstage perspective and the way it was shot. And even beyond that he believes that this movie - and I'm sure he'll expand on this idea at the festival - it was so ahead of its time in terms of how it discusses the desire to be famous and what people will do to achieve fame. This was many years before reality television. It's about comedy, in a weird way, and about talk shows. And about America.
RO: Did any of the other comedians immediately know which film they wanted to present?
WF: Some did. But most of them had never been asked to do something like this before – and they were very excited. Especially Margaret Cho. She truly loves the movie she is presenting, Darling. It's her favorite movie.
RO: If someone asked you to select a film to present, which one would you choose?
WF: That's tough. One option that would be near the top of my list would be a movie called Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. I'm sure you've never seen it, but it was written by Roger Ebert. So that's already fascinating – to see a film written by someone who critiques movies made by others. But it is also simply a terrific movie to watch with a crowd. I would consider it for those reasons alone. It's not influential to me in any way. It hasn't informed my comedy or my acting; but it is very entertaining to share with a crowd. But, beyond that, I'm pretty boring. I enjoy the classics. I would probably choose a Woody Allen film or Casablanca.
RO: Casablanca could never be boring! So is this festival - as the name suggests - an event that you are hoping to host annually?
WF: Oh yes! Definitely! Next year I want to expand it and make it a special thing for comedians. It's exciting because I live in Los Angeles - and this is one of the few places in the world where you could put together this festival and invite people to attend and join the fun for only $10. Because we don't have to fly in anyone or put them up. There are no expenses; only great comedians who want to participate. And who can get here easily. It's just a celebration of stand-up and film – together.

Comedian and podcaster Doug Benson is releasing his third album for Comedy Central, called "Potty Mouth", on August 30th. Usually, I favor digital downloads for my music and comedy, but I've pre-ordered the CD of this performance because it will ship with a bonus DVD that includes all six episodes of "The Benson Interruption". The "Interruption", for those who missed it when it aired, featured Doug sitting in a chair onstage and making digs or observations while another comedian performs. The resulting banter and one-upmanship kept the show lively and fun. Below is a clip featuring one of the show's recurring bits, "Tweet Off", with Michael Ian Black.
And here is Eugene Mirman discussing an awkward search for food while on the road in Pennsylvania.
|Eugene Mirman - Grub and Babes
While you are waiting for your CD to arrive, you should check out Doug's cinephile podcast, Doug Loves Movies.
The College Years is a look deep into the vaults of The Sound of Young America. Take a journey with us every week as we post a new program from our salad days.
Today's theme: Hollow Men
Before going on to talk to Doug Benson about the Academy Awards, Jesse talks about a little of his own work as an actor when he gave an Oscar-worthy performance in a commercial for a digital arts college. And if you've been wanting to see Jesse almost completely nude, this commercial makes that dream come true. Jesse and Doug discuss Tommy Chong and then Doug picks the 2005 Oscar winners. He pretty much gets them all correct too! Doug loves movies.
Then Jesse interviews the British comedy troupe and sketch group the Hallow Men who had a Comedy Central show with the same name. Lots of shenanigans and fun times are had.
Enjoy the show!

Keep Ontario Working
The Parry Sound Chamber of Commerce is working with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Keep Ontario Working Coalition to advocate on behalf of our businesses to reduce the unintended consequences of Bill 148.
The impact
$23 billion hit to business over the next two years alone;
185,000 Ontario jobs will be at immediate risk over the next two years;
30,000 of the jobs at risk are youth under 25;
96,000 employees at risk are expected to be women;
50% increase to inflation for this year and the foreseeable future. The cost of everyday consumer goods and services will go up by $1,300 per household on average each and every year;
The Ontario government would need to borrow $440 million more to cover the increases in new costs from this legislation. If the government were to provide offsets to businesses, as they have indicated, the province's treasury will take a bigger hit;
Municipalities will be forced to increase employee wages by $500 million without additional offsetting revenues.

Picking up where we left off, we dig into the gritty detail of visual effects in the entertainment industry with Visual Effects Director of Photography Mark Weingartner. In this part of the conversation, we talk about the aesthetic of visual effects and how the audience reaction has changed over the years. We discuss the difference between special effects, visual effects and how they have advanced to where they are now. Mark explains the the ACES color correction system in detail and we also talk in depth about his work shooting extensive visual effects for some of Hollywood's biggest movies including his work with a custom designed "plate mobile" and more from the "Batman" trilogy.
Ep. 34: David Mendez - Special Effects Makeup
Sometimes you find yourself with some fake blood in your mouth and a couple of drinking straws - because that's how you get things done in this business. At least, it is when you're a special effects makeup artist, like this week's Cinematic Immunity guest, David Mendez.
Listen as the multi-talented Mendez brakes down the makeup department for us, with a special focus on special-effects. We talk about the tools of his trade (fake blood and drinking straws are only two of them), the challenges and fun of creating makeup looks for film, his influences, and how Captain Kirk taught him to fight. He also explains how being a U.S. Army Infantryman compares to working on a movie set, and how it has helped his stunt coordinator work.
Ep. 31: David Stump, A.S.C. - Cinematographer
Today on the Cinematic Immunity podcast, we bring you an interview with award-wining cinematographer, David Stump, A.S.C.. Get ready for stories about some of your all-time favorite films! In this episode, we discuss the unforgettable train sequence in Stand By Me, Rambo III's "muscle lighting," Beetlejuice, and Army of Darkness. Plus, we talk about Quantum of Solace and forgetting to steal things, Star Trek: First Contact and Patrick Stuart's eyeball work, and we visit post-apocalyptic Kansas, go for a ride in a certain time-traveling Delorean once more, and Louis loves on David's timely new book, Digital Cinematography: Fundamentals, Tools, Techniques, and Workflows.
Over last thirty-plus years, David Stump has worn many filmmaking hats. He's been a producer, a director, a cinematographer, an author, a visual effects supervisor, an effects cameraman - and he even has an Academy Award for Scientific & Technical Achievement. He's worked on some of the most memorable films from the last three decades, and is generous enough to share his knowledge with the world through his excellent book and insightful articles on filmmaking.

Ep. 25: Steven Poster, A.S.C. - Cinematographer & Union President
Steven Poster, the President of the International Cinematographers Guild, represents camera workers and film publicists across the United States. Poster was kind enough to sit down with Cinematic Immunity and share his stories about getting started in filmmaking and working on such films as "Blade Runner" (1982) "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) and "Donnie Darko" (2001). Hear these stories and more now in our interview with Steven Poster, ASC.
Ep. 24: Dean Cundey - Cinematographer Part 2
Dean returns in Part II. We discuss the challenges of Roger Rabbit not existing on location, to getting some assistance from the Oval Office to solve pesky gravity problems on a certain spaceship set. In-between, we breakdown some select scenes of the greatest Trilogy ever about a time-traveling teen and his friend the "Doc".
Ep. 23: Dean Cundey - Cinematographer Part 1
Jurassic Park! Halloween! Big Trouble in Little China!
Acclaimed cinematographer Dean Cundey sat down with Cinematic Immunity for an interview and knocked our socks off. In part one of our two-part discussion, we learn how Cundey got his start in Hollywood, his turning point in film school, and the surprising keys to success that they don't teach in school, such as, "Always try to get someone else to take the blame." He says with a wry smile.
Dean was also kind enough to share his stories of pioneering the use of Steadicam with the multi-talented John Carpenter in "Halloween" (1978), how his innovative, Oscar-nominated work on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988) paved the way for the groundbreaking visual effects of "Jurassic Park" (1993), how the military precision of the "Jurassic Park" film crew wowed the actual military after Hurricane Iniki hit on their last day of filming, and much more.
We'll see you back next Tuesday, September 16th, 2014, for part two of our interview with the great Dean Cundey, A.S.C..
Ep. 20: Douglas C. Hart - 1st Assistant Cameraman part 2
Listen in as Doug continues to tell his tale of being a 1st AC in New York for more than four decades. You'll learn all about the odd way John Landis likes to start conversations (and what jokes you should never tell in his presence), how hard it is to pull focus on the elusive Robert Redford, the wonderful paychecks from the Brooklyn Bridge, how much fun stunt work can be on films like 'The Hardway,' and how nimble Spike Lee can be when things really start to heat up on-set.
Ep. 18: Jendra Jarnagin - Cinematographer
Continuing with our New York City podcasts, we got a chance to sit down with Jendra Jarnagin. She is a female cinematographer who worked her way up through the set lighting departement. Jendra lays out some guidelines on how to work as a freelancer, how to make a relationship work when both partners are freelancing and how film festivals can really help your career take off if you know how to network.

Business Mirror
People who believe that a government can create jobs are wrong. A government can employ a person to do a job but a government does not have the financial means itself to pay the salary. A government must take the money from someone else to pay for its employee.
"The government can create jobs" relies on the fallacious argument known as the "Duck Test." If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
The reason people make this incorrect assumption is that a government can look like a private corporation with a pyramid-shaped management structure and various departments with different functions. Swimming, like a private corporation, means having promotions, resignations, firing people and holding elections. A government can quack like a corporation with quarterly results, annual reports and lots of favorable forecasts.
But the look, swimming ability, and the quack do not make a duck a duck. It is the DNA of the Anatidae family of birds that makes the duck.
Part of the DNA of a corporation requires it to seek to earn a profit and gives its sole reason for existing. A government does not have profit as part of its DNA. Therefore, any job that a government creates is not to make a profit, as is true in a private corporation.
Many government employees provide services to the public that are then paid for by taxes, which, in effect, are a user fee. However, to expect a government to create and provide jobs is to assume that there is an ever-increasing demand for those government services. The Philippine government has actually tried that employment model. The number of government employees has grown by percentage faster than the general population although the two main services that people want, police and teachers, have not matched population growth.
History shows that all three branches of the government can stimulate jobs growth by reducing the risk of doing business by private-sector companies.
When you read about the factors that limit economic growth in the Philippines, it always comes down to the way that the government has failed to reduce the risk of doing business in this country.
Private enterprise needs a transportation infrastructure to get employees to their jobs and to get products quickly, and in an affordable manner, to the marketplace. The Philippine government has failed to assist in job creation.
Private business needs a legal system that can be relied upon for quick and impartial decisions. The Philippine government has failed.
The private sector needs fiscal and monetary policies that reward success and encourage investment. Another failure.
Every business needs a peaceful and orderly environment to operate where both the individual and the corporation feel safe and secure. More failure.
The private business owner needs to be able to be innovative and given the freedom and incentive to try new business models without burdensome government intervention. The Philippine government has failed to assist in job creation.
The highly successful outsourcing business has created hundreds of thousands of jobs because the Philippine government allowed and encouraged it to prosper on its own. The Peza incentives reduced the financial risk as these companies were starting up. The government provided encouragement for employees to join this new industry through some government-sponsored training programs. The government never halted the development of the outsourcing industry by lengthy and useless studies to figure out how the government could make the industry better.
Wisely, the government during the last 10 years acted as a facilitator, letting the private sector be the leader rather than trying to control the business as it is doing in so many other industry sectors.
Instead of taking the risk off, the government put more risk on by changing the rules as in the mining sector.
The risk of doing business in the Philippines will always be too high until the country has leaders who understand that the government is there to serve and not to control.

Police Officers and Staff
The duty to publish equality related information requires public sector bodies with more than 150 employees to publish information about their staff. The most recent demographic information regarding the staff of Cheshire Constabulary is attached below. We will update this information every time new data is available.

Yass Wedding
Oh man, what can we say about this absolutely in love couple from Yass besides that they are two of the sweetest and kindest people we've had the pleasure of photographing. Mandy and Steve got hitched on the historic family property, Cliftonwood, in rural NSW. Later in the evening, they joined family and friends at the delightful Clementine Restaurant, where Steve serenaded Mandy with his own love song. Oh the things we do for love.

sister series: molly
Today in the sister series I'm introducing Molly, the third oldest. Molly is the only sister who doesn't hover around the 5'3"-5'5" range, so it's easy to spot her among us, since she is just a tad taller! When it comes to fashion, relationships, careers, and so much more, Molly is always there to give some good old-fashioned sisterly advice. I find that when she and I chat, it's always a very deep conversation. We're both introverts, so that's to be expected! I have to admit, her answers for this interview made me tear up a little bit. I love seeing how all my sisters put into words the experience we had and still have as a family! Keep reading for Molly's perspective on it all:
Name: Molly Goodearle
Age: 27
Occupation: Marketing Manager
What was your favorite part of growing up with five sisters?
Basically having a default #squad. We did so many weird/hilarious things as kids, and there was rarely a day without laughter. Childhood doesn't get any better than that.
What is your favorite part of having five sisters now?
I didn't realize this in my youth, but as I reflect back now, I realize how much security came with having five sisters. You were always loved, cherished, and a part of something bigger than yourself. Having this foundation has led each of us to find our own version of success as adults. When you have a group of people that you know love and support you through anything, it's easier to take risks.
What lessons have you learned from growing up in a big family?
If you ain't first, you're last. JUST KIDDING! In essence - the world doesn't revolve around me. Each sister has had her own moments in the spotlight and it was important to give each her moment without making it about me. As a kid, that's not natural, but learning this lesson is entirely applicable in the workplace and beyond as an adult. The other notable lesson I learned was agility. We were always on the go as a big family with countless extracurricular activities, which forced each of us to constantly adapt to new surroundings and situations. I'd peg that lesson as my #1 "tool" as an adult. Change is constant, and the quicker you learn to adapt and grow, the easier it is to find enjoyment in life.
What was your favorite thing to do with the sisters growing up?
Making up dances, dressing up the "little sisters" in outrageous clothing, playing summer games like Kick the Can or Capture the Flag well into dusk on warm nights, collectively taking an hour to fold 2 baskets of laundry so that we could secretly watch The Price is Right on summer mornings, sister singalongs (sorry parents), and admittedly - bossing around the youngins to exercise my privilege of being an older sister.
What's your favorite thing to do with them now?
There are so many things that belong in this answer that it's obvious the answer is "anything." If we're not laughing, we're talking deep. If we're not talking deep, we're quoting a movie. If we're not quoting a movie, we're probably dancing. If we're not dancing, wait no, we're basically always dancing. I guess if I had to get specific, the best activity now would be to drink coffee and consume carbs together. Even though some of us are introverted, there is no stopping the chatter when we're together. Sister talk is best enjoyed with caffeine and something sweet to eat.
Anything else?
When you come from a family this big, especially one with all girls, there is most certainly a group effect, meaning that people outside of your family perceive you in terms of how they perceive either the entire family or a specific sibling of yours. In my/our case, this is a great thing, as each sister is accomplished and established in her own way. We're all associated with each other. If I meet someone who knows one or more of my sisters, it's assumed that I take on similar positive traits as them. While having your own unique identity can be somewhat tough in a big family, the group effect is not always a bad thing when your sister's (good) reputation precedes you.
On another note, most people ask about how we get along as sisters. We're not overly lovey dovey with each other nor do we argue much. I don't necessarily call my sisters my "best friends" because our relationship is something beyond even what a best friend is. They are constants in a world of change. They are opinion givers, advice seekers, companions, and a support group. There's no way to accurately put into words what we are to each other, but one thing is certain -- we are all pretty darn #blessed to have each other.

In this "Why We Watch" series—a hagiographic taxonomy of the bizarre, the unique, and the awesome—a player like Daniel Gibson has no real place. He is, at this point in his already largely uninteresting career, barely even an NBA basketball player. This year is probably his last with the Cavaliers, his only NBA team and the be-giver to him of more than 20 million dollars. During this season he'll play point guard a bit if both Kyrie Irving and Donald Sloan are hurt, and he'll apply himself as an above-average-three-point-shooter/below-average-everything-else shooting guard if something slows the development of Dion Waiters.
He won't do either of those things exceptionally well or unusually poorly, and he will almost certainly come down with a foot or toe or shoulder problem if too much is asked. He is, in his flat reliability, the anti-Delonte West, with whom he played for years. Gibson doesn't generally create, approach the basket, or indulge any Delonte-ish outbursting. Except, perhaps, for once: something he said to Eddie House one night left Eddie House waiting outside the Cavalier locker room muttering "When that (expletive) turns the corner I'm putting my hands on him". Gibson has played better and worse at different points in his career, but he has never played particularly uniquely or interestingly or more to the point well for an extended period of time. He is, however, notably adorable: Danny Ferry once said that he's "got a great smile on the court." His nickname is "Boobie." He tends towards interesting hair choices: images and logos shaved into the side of his head; periodic faux-hawks. For one year he lead the NBA in three point shooting percentage. In every other way he is more or less an average-ish nba player: competent, polite, Christian, and mute.
Except, of course, for one thing: he has his own reality show.
I've watched the first three episodes of BET's "Keyshia & Daniel: Family First"—I'm going with the ampersand here, although in the show logo it's some sort of heart thing—and can safely report: Boobie Gibson is no Kris Humphries or Lamar Odom or even Doug Christie. He's not a dope, or a fool, or a crazy person— I'm consistently at a loss trying to characterize Doug Christie, and that characterization maybe isn't fair, but I'm stuck for anything else. The show's producers are making reality television, and so are constantly working to make his reality seem unstable, but Gibson is not married to anyone remotely chaotic as a Kardashian. Fan reactions like "What's with Keyshia's attitude" on the one hand, and "Boobie is a saint," on the other, are about as far as it goes.
And so the episodes I've watched are shockingly unconflict-ridden. At the end of the third episode Keyshia's birth-mother checks into rehab—she had logged a previous loud, bleak season on "Celebrity Rehab" some years ago—but before that we get almost nothing: some background on their relationship in episode one, their wedding in episodes two and three. And then Daniel sprains his ankle and needs surgery in episode three. Ankle surgery might be Gibson's main conflict, but it's not the show's. In those first few episodes the conflict amounts to not much more than this: at the wedding rehearsal dinner Keyshia understandably complains about taking care of their baby when she'd rather be drinking with her family and friends. At which point Gibson suggests he should take the baby. Which he then does. End of conflict.
By contrast: the first line in the first episode of the fifth season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is "I'm bringing a stun-gun," followed by a screeching woman kicking a guy in the groin. By 136 seconds in, pretty much everyone has smacked or grabbed or snatched a wig off everyone else. This is not Daniel Gibson's world.
Maybe Boobie Gibson isn't worth consideration, and maybe—strong maybe, here—his television show isn't worth watching. But when LeBron was still a Cavalier I thought about Boobie a lot. LeBron's contending Cleveland team—the one that was swept by the Spurs in the 2007 NBA Finals—was as terrible as any contending team in history, almost improbably so in retrospect, and Gibson was integral to both that team and its secret mediocrity.
I don't imagine that it's particularly unusual for contending teams' fans to look past their near-invincible, apparently invulnerable, and unquestionably bankable stars to the peripheries of their basketball team. The question we sweat over in October isn't whether LeBron (or any star) can get us near the finals. It's what will happen when he does: whether when the Spurs or Celtics or Magic somehow limit his superiority, and whether players like Boobie Gibson will come through this one time, somehow. The star will be the star will be the star: success (and ultimately failure) turns on the non-star, the human who somehow ended up playing next to the super-human, the Boobie. He's not important, until he suddenly and decisively is.
Daniel Gibson isn't the star of "Keyshia & Daniel" either; Keyshia is. It's her show, a follow-up to her last reality show, and its drama such as it exists at all is in her career and her mother's addiction and the bizarrely unemotional landscape it has left her with; at one point Daniel cries at his grandmother's grave; Keyshia responds by coolly brushing imaginary lint from his clothes. Boobie is, as one commentator said, "the rock;" he is the no-drama constant in a medium that demands drama. And so maybe Boobie is playing second banana again, just like he did for LeBron: he's once again the regular guy in an un-regular situation, the human counterpoint to some affectless virtuoso, which is to say the stand-in for us. This is us as millionaire NBA player, yes, but closer to us than LeBron's flat brilliance or Keyshia Cole's wrung-out Keyshia Cole-ness.
Somewhere in here, then, is something to say about why we watch what we watch, and something about the NBA and reality television; about how we are all to a certain extent Boobie Gibson, about how we're the humans expected to exist with the super-humans, about how the NBA is the reality TV of sports. But to say the NBA is the reality TV of sports maybe isn't such a nasty thing to say. After all it's a commonplace to say that the NBA is the major sport most oriented towards the individual athlete. Usually that refers to the marketing of its stars, who are more famous and often wealthier than other athletes; when used as a curmudgeonly pejorative—"It's just one on one, and why do they all have all those tattoos?"—it's a lazy sort of critique.
But there's another way to look at it: Reality television is all about imagining ourselves into the drama, predicting or denying that we would act just that way in a similar situation. Usually the NBA is not that: most of why we watch is to watch the LeBrons of the league doing things we could never do. But sometimes we also watch to see ourselves, and it is impossible to see ourselves in LeBron. So we watch to see the Boobie Gibsons lurking, waiting around the perimeter with their less-than-spectacular talent. We wonder with them: if the ball somehow comes this way, whether players like Boobie Gibson might, for God's sake, this one time come through.

Former US Astronaut: Peacekeeping Aliens Stopped Nuclear War Between USA and Russia
A former US astronaut claims that peacekeeping aliens have stopped a Nuclear War between America and Russia. Apollo veteran astronaut Edgar ...
Apollo veteran astronaut Edgar Mitchell firmly believes that "peacekeeping" aliens have stopped humanity from destroying itself.
The Apollo mission astronaut has made an incredible statement saying that Aliens have come to our planet to avoid a nuclear catastrophe between two of the most powerful countries on earth, Russia and United States.
In an interview to Mirror Online, Edgar Mitchell spoke about Alien life and UFO and said that top-ranking military sources have spotted innumerable UFOs during weapon testing.
Edgar Mitchell is one of the most prominent figures that has talked about the possibility of Alien life elsewhere in the cosmos.
And who better than him, to talk about Aliens? Edgar Mitchell, former naval officer and aviator, test pilot, aeronautical engineer, and NASA astronaut.
As the Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo 14, he spent nine hours working on the lunar surface in the Fra Mauro Highlands region, making him the sixth person to walk on the Moon.
The former Astronaut spoke about the famous White Sands facility and how military insiders had seen numerous weird shaped flying crafts over missile bases around the US.
Mitchell told Mirror Online:
"White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons — and that's what the extraterrestrials were interested in. They wanted to know about our military capabilities. My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth."But it seems that everyone who has worked at a military base such as White Sands had something to say about UFOs.
"I have spoken to many Air Force officers who worked at these silos during the Cold War," he continued. They told me UFOs were frequently seen overhead and often disabled their missiles.But there are different views when it comes to Mitchell's statements; former Ministry of Defence, Nick Pope says that Mitchell is a "honourable and truthful man" and that he most likely would have had access to highly classified information from government, military and intelligence community personnel but since he won't name his sources, no one can be certain that the individuals were "truthful" when speaking to Mitchell about the UFO incidents.
"Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their [test] missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft. There was a lot of activity in those days," Mitchell added.
Pope said:
"There have certainly been some intriguing UFO sightings around nuclear facilities, and around military bases more generally, but an alternative explanation is that some of these sightings are attributable to espionage activity involving secret spy planes or drones.By EWAO
"Given that the Universe is around 14 billion years old, if we're being visited, it's unlikely we're dealing with a civilisation just a few hundred years ahead of us, so stories of aliens managing to disrupt a few of our weapons tests are far-fetched. Chances are they'd be millions of years ahead of us and could do anything they wanted to."

Welcome to Drama
Tri-School Productions
Tri-School Productions, a partnership between Serra and our sister schools, Notre Dame (Belmont) and Mercy (Burlingame), offers the best of both worlds to high school students who are interested in the performing arts.
From Footloose to Grease, Macbeth to The Diary of Anne Frank, Tri-School Productions students shine on stage and unleash their creativity by participating in the fall play and/or the spring musical. There are numerous opportunities to act, sing, dance and help by building sets, sewing costumes, and working on lighting and sound.
Tri-School Productions WebsitePerforming Arts Photo Galleries
History of Serra's Drama Program
The drama program at Serra has a rich history dating back to the late 1940s. In those days, it was a tradition for the graduating class to stage a senior play, despite what must have been meager resources and facilities. Find out more by clicking on the tabs below.
- The Gellert Auditorium
- Two Shows a Year
- Tri-School Productions is Born
- The Gypsy Robe
- The Modern Era
The Gellert Auditorium
When Serra moved to its present location on 20th Avenue, the building included a fully equipped theater, complete with an orchestra pit and a projection booth with two 16mm carbon-arc movie projectors. Over the years, the theater has served as Serra's primary performance venue. It hosts school assemblies, concerts, community events all drama productions. Recent theatrical lighting and sound upgrades have enabled Tri-School Productions students to participate in notably ambitious productions. The theater was renamed The Carl Gellert Auditorium in 2005.
Two Shows a Year
Beginning in 1972, with Phil Garay at the helm, Serra students and girls from local high schools performed in two shows per year. During the 1970s, it was not uncommon to see a faculty member or two on stage, or even a local college student. Since 1977, the cast has been limited to students from Serra, Notre Dame and Mercy.
Tri-School Productions is Born
In 1988, Serra joined forces with Mercy and Notre Dame to add Tri-School classes and extracurricular activities. After two years of ironing out the logistics, West Side Story was the first Tri-School musical in 1990. Fall plays remained Serra productions until 2007, when Up the Down Staircase became the first fall play produced under the Tri-School Productions name. Many of Broadway's biggest hits come to life on the Serra stage during that decade. In 2001, Tri-School Productions celebrated its 10-year anniversary with Somewhere Together, a Decade in Review, which was a trip down memory lane featuring 33 musical numbers from the 11 shows staged between West Side Story in 1990 and Grease in 2000.
The Gypsy Robe
The gypsy robe is a symbol of good luck among Broadway chorus members who call themselves "gypsies" because of the transient nature of their work. This distinction is awarded to a member of the chorus–not a lead actor–who represents the positive spirit of the production. The opening night ceremony of awarding a decorated dressing gown to a selected chorus member began in 1950 with a dancer named Bill Bradley. Tri-School Productions members awarded the first gypsy robe in 2001.
The Modern Era
Tri-School Productions has become an astonishing, innovative force in high school musical theater. Tri-School Productions was the first high school program on the Peninsula to showcase Les Miserables, the first in the entire San Francisco Bay Area to be granted rights to Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and the first to stage Elton John's and Tim Rice's Aida. With an increasing number of students pursuing acting and technical theater as future careers, Tri-School Productions has proven that cooperation and dedication to excellence can result in magic.
I tried out on a whim after seeing Grease. It was humbling to be cast as C.D. Bales in the production of Roxanne. The Tri-School students were very supportive of each other. It was great to be in a Tri-School activity that connects the generations.- Matthew penner '16
Great performance!

You are an essential part of what we do in the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. It is your success that builds our reputation, motivates our students, and attracts the next generation of students to the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. Some of you have the opportunity to visit campus during alumni reunion or other events, and some of you have the opportunity to interact with us at conventions and meetings or at other times on our travels. Hearing from you is critical as we work to stay at the forefront of education and research in forestry, wildlife, and natural systems.
Coming up, we will be at the Society of American Foresters National Convention in Portland from October 3 through October 7 in Portland Oregon, with an alumni reception on October 4 at 6:30pm. The following week we will at the Wildlife Society Annual Conference in Cleveland from October 7 to 11. We will be organizing a local gathering of alumni on the evening of October 10. We will also be at the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Annual Conference in Denver from October 16 to 18. We hope to see many alumni at these meetings, and in each case we have undergraduate students attending. For the students these are great opportunities to network, explore career paths, and to engage with their professions. It is also a chance for other professionals to see how amazing our students are!
In the coming years, we plan to increasingly emphasize a number of areas in which we excel, but which perhaps are less visible to the world outside of SFRES. These include sustainability, online education, outreach, and how we integrate technology and the cyber world into what we do.
Sustainability has always been at the forefront of what we do, and we need to emphasize this to others who may have different but related views of sustainability. Sustainable management of natural resources will be essential as the world changes through shifts in climate, invasive species, and continued urbanization. The positive changes in the world will be worthless if our natural areas are not well stewarded to meet the needs of current and future societies. We plan to increase our footprint in the world of sustainability!
Online education has grown immensely in the United States and beyond, and our goal is to be a leader in the arena of natural resource and conservation online education. We recognize that the online education experience is different from on campus education, but for some populations this is the only way that they can benefit from the excellence we offer in educational programs. Our goal is to produce online educational experiences that lead to a range of credentials that are widely respected and valued by employers and students alike. The challenges of hands-on educational experiences in an online world, such as those needed to develop strong field skills, need to be addressed. We see a potential role for alumni who are willing to help with this. While the experience will be different from what many of us are used to, using the newest technologies and the newest thinking in online education, we can produce programming that enhances our reputation and reaches a broader and more diverse stakeholder group. The key goal is to increase accessibility to our programs.
As practitioners, we embrace and utilize the latest technologies that make our work more accurate and more efficient. The School will remain at the forefront of incorporating the newest technologies into our educational and research programs. The exponential growth of technologies will change our concepts of productivity and efficiency, and the School needs to be sure that our graduates are prepared to share technologies with employers and be responsible citizens as we go through the 4th industrial revolution. We will ensure the high levels of professionalism and ethical standards that characterize our graduates are maintained as they become leaders in the digital era.
Most of our research programs are funded by public funds, and of course we are a state funded institution. Sharing our knowledge and perspectives with a broader audience and hearing from them are essential components of outreach that we must increasingly promote and value. Greater understanding of what we do and the questions that we try to answer will help build our reputation, and engage a community that is deeply interested and concerned about natural places and how humans interact with them.
There are a wide range of exciting opportunities for the School and all the people associated with it. I look forward to discussing these further with alumni when I have the opportunity to meet with them. Contacting me is easy: my cell/text is 906-370-2847 and my email is email@example.com. I always enjoy hearing from alumni, so please share your stories, your thoughts about what we do, and your ideas of how you can increase your involvement as an essential part of our Forest Resources and Environmental Science family at Michigan Tech.

This week's monochrome #ThursdayTheme is an epic one! Monochrome photography can be described as photography that shows different levels of black, white and grey etc within a photograph by exposing the differing levels of light in the image.
#FridayFoto this week is by Robert Taylor.
Here's what Julie had to say about Robert's's image:
"Such a great example of what can be achieved with off-camera flash. That atmospheric sky would be totally lost without it.
The detail and contrast and the low, wide angle the image has been shot at make the bike look so impressive and imposing. It's just how a bike lover would want his baby to be showcased.
I love the composition and the way the owner has been posed. He plays an important part but he doesn't detract from the star of the show… the bike!
What a great image Robert! It would be great if you could talk us through your setup!"
Thank you so much for all your contributions.

I fondly remember my first apartment – all 550 square feet of it – and my first Christmas tree. With limited space (and a limited budget), I didn't have room for a 6' fresh-cut Douglas fir. So, I settled for a 3' cedar scrub I cut from my parent's backyard. It didn't have the traditional, pleasant evergreen smell and feel of a fir tree, but it gave my tiny, grown-up pad just the right festive touch for the holidays; even if I did have to constantly pick the sharp, stiff needles out of my toes.
The other day, when I was searching online for some holiday craft ideas, I came across this cute DIY wooden tree. This would have been the perfect solution for my small apartment Christmas tree dilemma back in the day, not to mention fun to make, and no needles!
My DIY intuition is telling me to build this tree and put outside on the front porch to welcome guests and family in for the holidays. Now, I'm just consumed with ideas of design possibilities like hanging lights, adding a glitter-covered star, painting warm holiday greetings on the "branches", or hanging some bulbs. You can make it rustic, sophisticated, or as tall or short as you want.
When it comes to building materials for the tree, let your imagination run free. This is the ideal project for upcycling. You could use old wooden pallets or strips of left-over lumber from other projects. Because I use a lot prefinished moulding for my craft projects, I have left-overs that would be perfect for this. Especially since it's going to be outside during the winter weather of December, prefinished, polystyrene decorative moulding is a good choice because it's moisture resistant so it won't rot or mold. You can find it Lowe's and Home Depot. I love the prefinished polystyrene moulding because it's so easy to wipe clean and dust, and it's already stained or painted, and it uses the same tools as traditional wood. Another design opportunity, because the moulding comes in so many different profiles and styles, you can create mini shelves as branches to display ornaments, photographs, or little wrapped tokens of friendship for your guests to take home with them. Wow, time for me to get busy!
If you've created a wooden Christmas tree like this, please share your decorating ideas. And don't forget to check out my winter holidays decoration ideas on Pinterest for some inspiration as well.
