1954, in which the Supreme Court ordered desegregation of schools. The decision struck a Chicago newspaper as a "second emancipation proclamation." The Supreme Court's implementation order of 1955, designed to hasten compliance, ordered desegregation of schools "with all deliberate speed," but compliance was slow. When the governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, tried to block the enrollment of nine black students into Little Rock High School in 1957, television showed the entire nation the confrontation

NBA News Round-Up: Lakers Panic, Spurs Kisses, Knicks-Nets Postponed and More
I'm calm. I swear. Are you? I'm sure the Lakers will be fine; it's only a two-game skid (and 12th consecutive loss) and this team still needs to get the chemistry issues worked out along with this new offensive system. Just keep your britches on Lakerland.
And, on that note, welcome to the Bullet Passes. I hope you all are enjoying your first two days of the season so far. There have been some top quality games and performances and we are going to revisit some of those today. We are also going to touch on Eric Gordon again because this situation is getting a little weird. You know what else is weird? LeBron's hairline; it's borderline crop circle mixed with some type of tribal tattoo. It confuses me, and I am not sure how I should feel about it. Shave that crap off already. All the great ones did.
Crap, I honestly don't know where to start. Maybe with something funny, like Uncle Drew. In case you young bloods missed the premiere of this new Kyrie Irving commercial, I have brought it here for you. Oh yeah, Bill Russell and Kevin Love are in it, too. This one is as good as the last one to me, even though Love seems to come out of character at times.
I just want to see who is on the rest of this team of pseudo-geriatrics.
*People have been wondering what the Chicago Bulls were going to do without Derrick Rose. Easy, go to Joakim Noah for 23 points, 10 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks.
*Oh and by the way, Tim Duncan is still alive and apparently has some game left in those old legs. Game to the tune of 24 points and 11 rebounds.
*Speaking of Tim Duncan, apparently, the big man paid Brent Barry to kiss David Stern. And now Stern's retirement can commence. Sealed with a kiss, of course.
*You know that James Harden guy that got traded to Houston because the Thunder didn't think he was worth more than $54 million over four years? Well that guy just dropped 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals to start of his season. Oh yeah, he also just inked a five-year, $80 million contract extension. Yup, and he might just be worth every penny of it.
*Speaking of contract extensions there have been a lot lately. So here are the ones that happened in the past few days.
- DeMar DeRozan gets $40 million deal
- Taj Gibson agrees to $38 million deal
- Jrue Holiday gets four-year extension
Kelly Dwyer over at Ball Don't Lie has his ratings on the latest contract extensions. Pretty interesting read and pretty spot-on.
Jamal Crawford did something nasty to Rudy Gay last night.
Time to invest in some ankle insurance, Rudy.
Obviously, last night was Halloween and you know that some of the players had their outfits in full effect leading up to this night. Here are a few of the best shots.
A little Jeremy Lin. No, really, like a tiny Jeremy Lin.
Anthony Davis ... er ... Ludacris as Davis.
And the Spurs.
Eric Gordon is uhm out ... indefinitely, which is weird because there is nothing wrong with his knee structurally. Even weirder is Gordon alluded to the fact that he may not play again this season yesterday. Starting to wonder if Gordon wants to play ball at all, or if it's just that he doesn't want to play in the Nola?
If you are a team and one of your beloved players gets traded away, you mourn, right? And when he returns to play against you, you cheer for him, especially when he writes a letter telling the fans how much he appreciated them. Right? Not if you are Philly.
As you will notice below, the Knick-Nets game has been postponed (UPDATE: Postponed to November 26!) due to damage done by Sandy. We have the official word on it here for you. We hope N.Y. gets back to normal soon though. There is a lot of ball to be played.
And that is all for tonight, folks. I hope I didn't scare you too much at the beginning there. I will be fine. Unless the Lakers lose again, then …
I guess you will have to find out! Have a good one.

One of the things that has always bothered me about Drupal is the way that it sends it's logins in clear text. It really bothers me when I'm on vacation, and I'm logging into the site from dirty WiFi hotspots and even dirtier hotel room internet connections. I don't usually log in as user#1, but there isn't really a good way to log in as a non-admin account when you need to admin the site! And of course there is the issue of moderators and power-users logging into their accounts from Lord-knows-where, leaving them prone to "Starbucks Sniffing". So now that vacation time is rolling around I made it a goal of mine to setup secure logins at the site.. How hard could it be, right? Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes.
The basic steps are pretty easy: Configure your server with an SSL Cert and re-write all the pages that you want encrypted from HTTP to HTTPS. Again, how hard could that be?!
When I first started on this mission, I figured I could save a few dollars and generate my own self-signed SSL Cert. Since I only wanted the cert for enabling encrypted pages, I didnt really care about proving the identity of the site. But as I was testing, I quickly realized that if I used a self-signed SSL Cert some browsers would generate warnings and even pop-up messages about not being able to confirm the identity of the website. Because I didn't want to scare away any of my visitors I decided I should invest a few bucks into a "real" SSL Cert and purchased one online.
Once you have your SSL cert you have to configure it on your server. If you use cPanel/WHM this isnt too difficult, but you will need to have a dedicated IP for the site/domain. Even though I have a dedicated server with several IP's, the server was sharing a few sites all on the same IP. Because I'm not really too keen on breaking things I let my hosting company change the IP and configure the new SSL cert for me (Tip: always take the easy way out when possible). If you are on a shared/virtual host the whole shared IP thing may be an issue so you might have to purchase a dedicated IP address for your domain. There also seems to be issues with using "shared" SSL certificates in Drupal so you may want to avoid that and invest in your own cert. Check with your hosting company first to see if they support dedicated IP address and individual certificates before you spend any money.
Once your SSL certificate is setup on your server you should be able to view any page as either HTTP or HTTPS without any errors or warnings (or very few warnings – I'll get to that below). Assuming you've made it this far you can use the Drupal SecurePages module to handle the switching (re-writing) between secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) pages. I suppose you could just encrypt all your pages and display them all as HTTPS but that is a bit of overkill and you'll pay a large performance penalty, especially if you get a lot of pageviews. In my infinite wisdom I decided that only the login page, change password page, new account page and all member info pages needed to be encrypted. Some Drupal experts also think that encrypting all admin pages (ADMIN/*) is also necessary, but I'm just not seeing the need. One warning: be sure that you can access your pages via HTTP and HTTPS before trying to use the SecurePages module! Failure to heed this warning, which is also in big, bold letters on the SecurePages project page WILL result in borking your site.. and we all know that a borked site is no fun, especially on a Tuesday.
Installing SecurePages is easy: just copy it to your sites/all/modules directory and enable it in the modules page – but since there is NO documentation, configuring the module can be tricky, especially if you don't really understand WTF is going on (like me). The basic settings are to enter your non-secure base URL (http://yourdomain.com) and your secure base URL (httpS://yourdomain.com). You probably will also want to put a checkbox in the "Switch back to http pages when there are no matches" option so that pages that you don't specify that you want encrypted are automatically switched from HTTPS back to HTTP. Finally, click the "Make secure only the listed pages" radio button, and enter the pages that you want to be encrypted. For me this was "user/*" (without the quotations) which will include the login page, forgot password page and 'create new account' page (all start with "user") as well as all the member's profile pages. Press SAVE and you're ready to start testing.
The first thing I noticed while checking that everything was working properly is that once I hit an encrypted HTTPS page, every page I visited after that stayed encrypted – they weren't switching back to standard HTTP. After a few hours of hair-pulling I found a post at Drupal.org that mentioned leaving an extra blank-line in the "pages" list will result in switching between HTTPS and HTTP not working properly – so be sure you backspace-out any extra/blank lines!
The next problem that I ran into is that none of my encrypted pages were "fully" encrypted. In Firefox this resulted in the security padlock with the line through it and a message that read "parts of the page you are viewing were not encrypted before being transmitted over the internet", and on Internet Explorer a message would pop up about "not all items on this page are secure" (or something like that) – knowing that the majority of my visitors use Internet Explorer, and knowing that this may scare them away, this was a big problem.
Using the "net" tab in Firebug I was able to quickly (ok, it took me half a day to figure out that I even needed to use Firebug and what to look for) pinpoint the problem on the login pages. It seems that the Kontera scripts that I use are not encrypted. So even though my Drupal data was encrypted, the Kontera portions of the page were not, resulting in the warnings. A few more hours of tinkering with the Kontera module and I was able to exclude Kontera from the login pages – now, when someone accesses the login, password reset or create new account pages, they get the full, "Secured page" padlock – yayyy! (only took me a fucking day).
Next, I was finding the same "parts of the page you are viewing were not encrypted before being transmitted over the internet" messages when viewing or editing member's profile pages. After more tinkering with Firebug, I found that the avatar images on the pages were failing to load as HTTPS. To get around this all i needed to do was add the avatar image paths to the "pages" list to force them to load as HTTPS. I use the Avatar Selection module so the images come from a few different locations, but adding these entries did the trick:
NOW, when viewing a member's profile page it was also coming up as fully encrypted, little padlock and all.
But now I ran into another issue. By adding the image locations to the "pages" list, now the avatars were being encrypted, no matter where they were located – for example, in every forum post. This was causing slow page-load times and simply would not do. To overcome this, all I had to do was add the same image locations (above) into the "ignore pages:" list. That would make them display as either HTTPS or HTTP, depending on the parent page. w00t!
Finally, the last little issue was that SecurePages will not encrypt logins via the login or Logintoboggan blocks unless you encrypt every page (which we already decided is a bad thing). So to get around that I created custom "Login" blocks, that direct logins to the /login page which is configured for HTTPS.
So my 30 minute job to enable secure SSL logins ended up taking about 26 hours, but it was fun.. sorta.. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes and only waste half the time I did. Worst part is, I doubt that most members will even notice or appreciate the lengths I've gone to or the hair I've pulled out to protect their passwords. But.. I suppose I will sleep better when I'm on vacation.
Closing Thought: Encrypting your login pages is not going to make your site or your member's accounts hack-proof – but much in the same way that one of those steering-wheel lock-bars on your car wont prevent it from being stolen, it will make it just a bit more difficult, and in this case, 256 bits more.

We're often asked by Tasmanian tourists where they should eat breakfast when arriving via the Spirit of Tasmania. Unless you're planning on spending the day in Devonport, the home of the Bass Strait ferry, there's usually time to get your journey underway before thinking about your first coffee break. For passengers heading to Hobart (or even Launceston for that matter), the ETC Bakery is an excellent option.
ETC Bakery: Tasmanian Journey
The ETC Bakery is in Elizabeth Town, about 40kms (or 30 minutes by car) from Devonport en route to Hobart via the Bass Highway. The cafe is about the only thing you can see of Elizabeth Town from the main road, although there's a few houses dotted around nearby; and the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm is 4kms further south. But you needn't worry that you'll be deafened by traffic noise. Once inside the building, you'll be gazing at the rural countryside that epitomises a touring holiday in Tasmania.
Despite being a very popular stop-over, the staff at ETC Bakery have mastered the art of fast service. All customers order at the counter and those choosing the dine-in option are given a beeper. Once you've selected your table and settled in, you're summoned back to the counter to collect your meals. We couldn't believe how quick the turnaround was, even during a busy lunch service.
Quick, Bring Us A Coffee!
Quick, however doesn't have to mean fast food. The range of meals was extensive, and seemed to cater for all tastes without breaking the bank. As I mentioned, our first visit was for lunch. Between us, we ordered a burger with chips; lasagne and salad, and a toasted chicken foccacia.
And of course, we can't go past a bakery in Tasmania without sampling the obligatory pie, and we're happy to say that also passed the taste test. On repeat visits, one of the juniors has ordered the same meal every time!
For coffee connoisseurs, you'll be interested to know that our self-appointed caffeine delegate gives the ETC Bakery his stamp of approval. He's very fussy in that department too, we might add.

If you want more than decent food and coffee; good service and a convenient location you might also appreciate some of the photos on the walls, with information about such local things as the Tasmanian Tiger, for example. And in the lower carpark, there's some sort of old building that was possibly built from convict bricks… maybe? Or it could just be an old building!
Convict buildings notwithstanding, we give the ETC Bakery a good rating to anyone who asks. Obviously, we're not catching the Spirit of Tasmania every time we go there, but we do call in when we're travelling to the north west coast from Hobart. There's also meeting rooms upstairs and you can arrange large orders for catering.

On the off chance that you haven't heard from me via Facebook, Twitter or Maud L, or happen to be a Betsy-Tacy fan I have not yet found and stalked on numerous social media, I wanted to announce here that the week of 9/28, the week the reissued high school Betsy-Tacy books go on sale is also, officially, BETSY-TACY CONVERT WEEK!
What is this you ask? Well, inspired by the passion that so many Betsy-Tacy fans have for the series (I mean, seriously, more than 200 of us traveled to Mankato, MN for the weekend to visit the houses, dress up in character and play games!), I decided we should put it to work, so to speak, and deploy a BT Army of sorts to convert readers everywhere into Betsy-Tacy fans.
Here's how it will work.
1) You sign up by commenting to this post that you want to find and convert someone into a Betsy-Tacy fan (
comment by end of day Friday Aug 28th -- DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4th!).
2) We'll split everyone into Deep Valley High School's rival student societies: Zetamathians and Philomathians, to tap into your competitive natures
3) We will send everyone who signs up a copy of Heaven to Betsy/Betsy in Spite of Herself
4) You will then give that copy away to someone who doesn't know about the series who should - ideally a young girl who will grow up with the series, but it can be a mom, an aunt, or anyone really!
5) You post a comment here about who you gave it to, what you said, what they said, etc. and identify yourself as a Zet or a Philo (we'll let you know which one you are when you get the book)
I'll keep a sticky post at the top of Book Club Girl that entire week (or two) so that all the comments will be front and center and the first thing people see.
6) If you have other online platforms you ALSO:
- Tell your convert story on Facebook, and share it with the Betsy-Tacy Groups on Facebook
- Tweet your story
- Put it on Flickr
- Make a video and we'll help you put it on YouTube
- Blog about it on your blog
- The sky's the limit!
7) At the end of the conversion week, or two weeks, we'll tally how many Zets made converts and how many Philos made converts (I'll tally from commnts made here on BCG since it may be hard for me to find links to everything online).
8) The winning society will get a paver stone in their name, ala "For the Zetamathians Who Converted the Most Betsy-Tacy Fans Fall 2009" placed outside of Maud Hart Lovelace's childhood home in Mankato, MN
So what do you think? Can we all pretend that the on-sale week is like the Social Room the first week of school at Deep Valley High? Go up to the new kids and convert them! The most orange or blue bows at the end of the week win!

Why God does not provide 'knock-down' evidence for God's existence
Malcolm Jeeves has made the following observation: 'In neuroscience, a leading theist was Sir John Eccles and a leading atheist Francis Crick, both Nobel laureates. When we see such distinguished scientists in psychology and neuroscience taking such radically different views, the lesson becomes clear: there are no easy answers to these questions. There are no knock-down arguments to settle the debates.' There are those, however, who count it a strike against Theism not only that there are no knock-down, or irrefutably overwhelming, arguments for God, but that God does not give knock-down evidence of God's existence. One thinks here of Bertrand Russell's famous comment that, should he have to face God someday, he would say 'But God, you did not give me sufficient evidence for your existence'. It turns out, however, that God has good reasons for not providing evidence that is so overwhelmingly-convincing that every rational person could only conclude from such evidence that God exists… [click here for the remainder of the article as a two-page pdf.]

They began with their own club night Batcave and practicing religiously until they felt they had found their sound and their live show; with that in check they have now completed their first album and are savaged in hunger to play their music. They want to give themselves and their art to the audience in a concise and violent way unrivalled by their peers. They have no qualms in terrifying and entertaining in the same breath. They celebrate their influences in a vitriolic and belligerent sound that is both familiar and new. They are a nose-bleed on the ears and they're here to show you they care.

text: Born to an extremely wealthy and powerful family,Gregory was made a prefect(a kind of governor)of Rome due to the influence of his father. He excelled at his job but once his father passed away,Gregory gave away every dime his family had and soon turned the family mansion into a monastery. He became a monk and devoted himself to an ascetic life of Christian devotion and study. His solitude was soon disturbed when Pope Benedict I came calling for his intellect and influence. Gregory was reluctantly made a deacon and brilliantly served under two Popes. With the death of Pope Pelagius, Gregory retreated back to his precious peace and quiet at his monastery. Not so fast…..the clergy of Rome knew a good thing when they saw it and unanimously elected him to the Papacy. Gregory begged them to reconsider but the Church would have none of it,and so a legendary Papacy began. He was tireless in Church reform,writings,charity and missionary work. He set in motion the re-conversion of England(after Pagans ran amok)and he helped refine the Mass which he loved so dearly. The Gregorian chant was named for him, although he had nothing to do with the music itself. He was one of three Popes referred to as "The Great",but Gregory,being the humble monk he was at heart,preferred the title of "Servant of the Servants of God". To emphasize what a great man Gregory was,John Calvin,a passionate Protestant pastor during the Reformation,said that Pope Gregory was "the last good Pope". Well,we know that wasn't the case but it's high praise from someone who was no friend to The Catholic Church or to the Popes. Gregory the Great is a Doctor of the Church and is the patron saint of musicians, singers, students, and teachers. He is recognized as a Saint in not only the Catholic Church,but also in the Eastern Orthodox Church and in some Lutheran churches! Mister the Great's feast day is September 3rd and of course he is buried in St.Peter's Basilica.

Does this April 2 deadline apply to you?
Posted on Monday, March 05, 2012 Share
If you reached age 70½ last year, April 2, 2012, could be an important deadline. That's the last day you can take your required minimum distribution (RMD) for 2011 from your traditional IRAs. If you miss that deadline, the penalty could be a 50% excise tax on the amount you should have withdrawn.
Here's how the rules work. Once you reach age 70½, you must start taking annual distributions from your traditional IRAs. Normally these distributions must occur by December 31 of each year. But a special rule lets you defer the first distribution until April of the year after you reach age 70½. So if you turned 70½ last year, April 2 is the deadline for your 2011 distribution. Be aware that you'll still need to take your 2012 RMD before the end of this year.
Generally, the amount of the RMD for any year is based on your age. You take the balance in all your traditional IRAs as of the last day of the previous year, and divide by a factor representing your life expectancy. The IRS has published a standard life expectancy table to use in the calculation. Special rules might apply if your spouse is more than ten years younger than you are.
Because all or part of your distribution may be taxable income, it is important to include RMDs in your tax planning. Ideally you should start planning for RMDs several years before you reach age 70½. But whether you're planning in advance or looking at a distribution on April 2, contact our office for more detailed advice.
The RMD rules don't apply to Roth IRAs. Unless you're still working, this deadline also applies to your other retirement accounts.

Creating Tomorrow: clean beauty, tweakment, or both?
Nov 25, 2019 | By Carla Buzasi
Sep 29, 2017
By Carla Buzasi
Where in The World: Les Roches Rouges, France
Member of staff with strong French accent: "The doors. You don't like the doors, non?"
Me, with regular boring English accent: "Yes, they're gorgeous. That's why I'm photographing them."
Member of staff: "Non, you don't like them."
Me: "I do, honestly."
Member of staff: "No, you don't. You're not supposed to."
Me: * puzzled face *
Member of staff: "You don't. You don't like the doors. And then they open, and you see the wonderful view, and it all makes sense."
To be honest, I was still reeling from the 200 euros I'd just been charged for a taxi from Cannes to get to Les Roches Rouges, the reception area in which this exchange took place, so didn't argue.
For the record, I loved the doors, but he did have a point about the view.
The paint was barely dry when we rocked up at Les Roches Rouges, a new design hotel from entrepreneur Valéry Grégo, a mere 200 euros away from Cannes (or about 50 km if you're sensible and drive yourself).
A friend who'd visited just a few weeks before we did reported back that teething problems included getting locked in the bathrooms, no option for coffee delivery in the morning, the rooftop restaurant and bar not being open, and NO CHIPS (her caps, not mine).
I'm happy to report that all bathroom locks are now working just fine, the rooftop bar and restaurant were still closed as of late June when we visited, although I'm assured they are now, coffee delivery to your table at breakfast is erratic, to say the least, (three different types came our way before we got what we ordered) and there are still no chips on the menu (no caps, I'm happy with my daily carbs coming in bread form when I'm in France).
But all of this is rather to miss the point at Les Roches Rouges, where design is of the essence, and everything else plays second fiddle – I attempted to move a casually flung basked in the kitchen area one morning, and was told that I was messing with the design and it absolutely had to be put back in its original spot.
And the design works. Boy, does it work. Bedrooms aren't huge or stuffed with, well, stuff, but a gorgeous chair, a few artfully pinned Polaroids and statement pendant lampshades make for an even more intoxicating mix than the drinks you can whip up with the world's most beautiful aperitif bottles, which – naturally – top the mini bar.
Communal areas are even better. There's no cheesy, beside-the-seaside theme here; rather, someone has spent a lot of time to ensure the burnt orange of every chair compliments the blue of the sea view they stud – and that's just the start of it. The main restaurant is a sandy haze of copper tiles, reclaimed sideboards and artfully presented French dishes, while the gardens and pool areas come dotted with storm lamps, stripy blue cushions and beautiful white loungers. Even the fire escape looks pretty, goddamnit.
Comfort does come into it, despite the crazy attention to detail. Sofas, that – I have it on good authority – took months and months to source, are just the right height with just the right slouch factor. Lazy day beds, meanwhile, have little nooks in just the right place to balance your glass of wine, and just the right chess board an arm's stretch away.
The piece de resistance, however, is something that not even Milan's most exclusive interior designers could provide: a salt-water pool carved from the rock that provides an even more gorgeous backdrop than the Mediterranean sea it looks over.
The French fries might be lacking, but the French flair at Les Roches Rouges is in plentiful supply.
Oh, and I got some clarification on the doors from Valéry himself. They're not supposed to be ugly – that got lost in translation – they're supposed to be opaque, to ensure you only get the full reveal of the view once they're open, and not a second before. See, I told you, design and attention to detail, and not a centimetre unaccounted for.

This preschool EFL lesson plan is based on the "Goldilocks & the 3 Bears" story, which is one of the most popular traditional tales among the little ones. Through this fantastic book, we deal with some values that are very important for young children; for instance, touching and using belongings that are not ours without permission and naughtiness. They feel very identified with these aspects since most of the problems in a preschool classroom are due to some children not being able to share and others using stuff without asking for permission.
When it comes to the English language, I like using the Goldilocks & the 3 Bears tale to see some vocabulary about the family and also about sizes.
The first day, I tell them that I have something for them in my pocket and I ask some pupils to discover what it is. In my pocket I have images of the story characters. They always recognise them quite quick and get very excited knowing they are going to hear this story. These are the images I use:
There is also this video version of the story which I like. I prefer having the stories I tell in both ways, book and video. I usually use the video version to revise what happens in the story and to uploaded in the class blog so they can watch it at home whenever they want.
To work on the BIG, MEDIUM & SMALL sizes, we play this game where they have to classify the objects and say which ones belong to mummy bear, which ones to daddy bear and which ones to baby bear. Once we have done that, I ask them questions such as "Is this BIG bowl from mummy bear?" so they answer "Yes, it is" or "No, it isn't" and "Who is this MEDIUM chair from?" so they answer "It is from____". To play these oral games I use these images:
I found this song called "Three Bears" and I thought it matched quite well with the story. Besides, it names the family members in a different way and it helps my pupils realise they can say it like that, too.
To introduce other family members names I really like using "The Finger Family" song. In it, the words sister and brother appear, this way they can learn them together with mummy, daddy and baby.
Once we have watched the video of the song, we check what family members we already knew and which are new. After that, I like having a little conversation with my pupils to find out if they have got any brother or sisters. They love speaking about their siblings!
There is this worksheet I made where pupils are asked to draw their hand inside the oval and then they have to draw a family member on each finger: daddy, mummy, sister, brother and baby.

Bento #297 (2 sets) - Ninjago
In the boxes: Fried chicken, saba fish, snow peas, cherries & corn.
I tried to do a full body ninja but failed.... So here's the head of the ninja, did at the last mins. The alphabets & ninja is cheese. Z is into ninja now, so he was happy when he saw this. L doesn't mind having something like this. Phew! If I prepare girly bento for Z, think he would protest! Coz his friends often crowd around him to see what's in his box. I don't think I like that too if it's me. Cute is ok for him but not girly.
We had 汤圆 this evening. My kiddos don't fancy it but naughty mommy insisted that they must have at least one!

PPS: Filtration Skid Series Concept

 All filters are made of coated carbon steel or non-corrosive stainless steel. The operating system is simple. The water to be cleaned passes through a series of filters providing progressively finer filtration. The final filtration is achieved by bag filtration, which can easily be changed to a micron rating of the user's choice.

The drill water first passes through a twist flow strainer (ATF), which is effective at removing coarse particles through a unique inlet arrangement and housing design that uses a centrifugal separator and an inline filter to separate solids from the fluid. Raw water enters tangentially to create a cyclonic flow. Centrifugal force moves the larger, heavier particles to the housing wall where they are accelerated downward by the decreasing diameter of the housing. While the larger, heavier particles are forced against the outer wall of the housing then down and out of the unit, the lighter, smaller particles can pass through the 200 micron slotted tube element in the center of the housing and move on to the backflushing filter (RF3).

The water then enters a backflushing filter (RF3) that captures solid particulate that are smaller in size. Slotted, conical tube element allows for efficient backwash. The "Wedge Wire" design of the elements provides for a wider opening on the effluent or downstream side of the element. This precludes particles becoming lodged and blinding the element. In the PPS, the RF3 is fitted with 50 micron slotted tube elements. A rotating arm allows a reverse jet of water through the elements to provide a back wash flow to the elements. Because of the way these first two filters operate, they have the added bonus of not requiring the elements to be replaced, and thus can remain functional indefinitely.

Next in line is a duplex bag filter housing, which features an extremely high dirt holding capacity. Filtered water from the RF3 passes to the duplex bag filters. Water passes through a progressively tighter series of bag elements: 25, 15 and 10 micron. Unlike the first two mechanical filters, the bag filters will need to be changed out periodically when they are full or there is indication of pressure drop at the bag housings. From the bag housings, the filtered water is delivered into a storage container for use at the driller's discretion.

The PPS can also include an optional last filter, the Schroeder Q-size Filter. This filter, which utilizes element cartridges that are 39" in length, is available in several micron ratings, and can provide another level of fine filtration if necessary.

Features:

Provides a cost-effective means to filter wastewater from drilling operations

On-site filtration helps to mitigate costly hauling charges

Promotes the closed-loop water reuse concept (protects local resources and offers cost reduction to the drilling industry)

I made a "spur of the moment" impromptu call to Tyler Wilson this evening to enquire about progress on the fabrication of our shell.
By chance Tim Tyler had just walked into the office and was able to take my call. There has been a delay getting the roof of Waiouru into the shed. Minus 18c temperatures and heavy snow have delayed progress however Tim thinks the shell may be ready by next week. He was expecting our builder, Ben Harp, later today so we might hear more from Ben later in the week.
Meanwhile it's likely we will be without an internet connection for some of this week. Not due to snow I might add:-) It has been quite humid today with a couple of warm showers.

Ki musubi (lit. "tying, binding, or joining energy") is one of the fundamental concepts in aikido. Aikido is about becoming more skilled at matching the ebb and flow of your energy to that of your attacker. The better you are at this skill, the less potential the attacker has to harm you.
Think about standing on the beach in the edge of the surf. Waves crash in, and if you try to stand your ground (in shifting sand, no less) you get blasted off your feet by the wave and then as the wave subsides you get sucked out with it. On the other hand, if you step a few steps up the beach as the wave crashes then step a few steps with the water as the wave subsides, you are left standing where you were. Rolling with the punches. Ki musubi.
Well, people work this way too. As we move around our energy constantly ebbs and flows. When we raise our center of mass we get more potential energy and less kinetic energy. Then, as we drop, we get more kinetic and less potential energy. This is perhaps the most fundamental principle of the ancient Kito (lit. "rise and fall") School of jujitsu from which aiki and judo were both derived.
So, how do we go about 'tying our energy' to uke's energy? This basically involves two skills:
- Metsuke (eye contact) – choose a place on uke's body and point your eyes at it. Some people prefer watching uke's center of mass. Some people prefer watching the neck. We tend to tell people to look at the bridge of their nose between their eyes. This lets you get most of their body within your peripheral vision while maintaining an absolute connection with their centerline. Don't shift your eyes back and forth among several foci. This changes your sense of center and distance and timing. Stay on the bridge of the nose.
- Synchronization – start moving your center of mass up and down, left and right in synch with uke. This might be very slight, but it should begin as soon as you are aware of uke – before he crosses ma-ai. If you are surprised and uke jumps through ma-ai then one of the best ways to get synched is to pay attention to the footfall of uke's front foot. Try to make your footfall during your evasion happen at the same time. The better you are at synching up-downs and left-rights, the better your timing will be.

We don't know about you, but we're a pretty nosy bunch (and see no shame in admitting it), especially when it comes to finding out about what makeup other guys and gals use. So we thought we'd dish the dirt on the war paint the DARE mag team wear every day to work, from the concealer our Ed Tory swears by to the only lip gloss Art Editor Hannah will put on her smackers. Well, when a desk is this inundated with new prods, only the best makes the grade...
Editor Tory
I use Real Techniques Setting Brush for everything. If I've got to get ready in a hurry, I like a pop of Collection's Lip Colour on my lips. It makes me feel 'done'. Tanya Burr Selfie Story Sculpt Eyebrow Pencil in Medium Brown is a really good colour and lasts for ages – and it has a spoolie at the other end. It's a good dupe for others three times the price! Rimmel Wake Me Up Makeup Concealer hides dark circles. 'Nuff said. The last thing you'll find is L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Superstar Eyeliner in Black. It's the blackest black I've ever used and the longest-lasting liner that I've ever used – and it has a nice spongy applicator that you can get a fine line with.
Contributor Natalie
I like a heavy-duty foundation – you know, one that's gonna give me the skin I wish I'd been born with. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in Natural Beige is as close as I've come. It's a running joke, but you'll see me touching up with Banana Powder at least five times a day. It's super-fine and doesn't cake your makeup. I can't skip blusher. I look like a sleep-starved sloth without it. Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in Healthy Mix is gold! Likewise, I'm a stickler for sooty lashes. Max Factor Luxe Collection Masterpiece Max Mascara is blacker than black. Finally, while I'm having a love affair with red lipstick, you can't part a girl from a good nude. Makeup Revolution's is creamy and doesn't flake.

Rimmel Hide The Blemish is an old school favourite that I've been using since I was a teenager. It's got a non-drying texture that my dry skin seems to love. Nip+Fab Makeup Foundation is silky and lightweight – and barely there, which is perfect for me as I hate too much coverage. I keep being told that gloss is coming back in fashion, and I was never a lipstick girl anyway. The solution? L'Oreal Paris Infallible Mega Lip Gloss in I Got The Power. I like the shimmer in I Heart Blush Hearts in Blushing Heart's pinky blush – it means my skin never looks 'flat', and I can top it up if I'm going out after work. I also swear by Max Factor mascaras, and Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara in Rich Black is cheap enough to stockpile. Which I do.

What is personal allowance?
Much to the disappointment of HMRC, most UK taxpayers are entitled to a UK personal allowance. To put it simply, your personal tax allowance is the amount of money you're allowed to earn which is free from taxation charges.
If you're struggling to get your head around personal allowances, SimpleTax is here to explain everything you need to know, simply and easily.
How much is personal allowance?
Up to a certain point, everything you earn is untaxable. Yes, you heard us right, for once, everything you earn is just that, yours. But who is entitled to UK personal tax allowance?
Your personal allowance varies, and is dependent on two things:
- Your age
- Your total annual income
Taking into account your age and your total income for that tax year, there are 3 different categories of personal allowance:
Personal Allowance
|Born between 6th April 1938-48
|Born before 6th April 1938
Despite there being just three categories, some taxpayers don't fall into these categories. If your tax affairs are a little more complex (marriage allowance, for example) and none of the three levels above match, for age-related or income-related reasons, then your personal allowance works a little differently. For example:
- If you're born before 6th April 1948 – for every £2 of your income above £27,700 in the 2015/16 tax year, your personal allowance decreases by £1.
- If your income is above £100,000 – for every £2 your income above £100,000 in the 2017/18 tax year, your personal allowance decreases by £1. This charge applies irrespective of age.
How do you get a personal tax allowance?
Getting your personal allowance is simple. If you file a self-assessment tax return, you will automatically receive your tax-free personal allowance.
If you need to file a tax return, SimpleTax is here to make things unbelievably simple. Forget about long-winded form-filling and unwelcome phone calls with HMRC. Simply enter the details of your income and expenses and we'll create your tax return for you and submit it online directly to HMRC. Plus for this year only its completely free, register now to save time, stress and money on your tax return.
Access SimpleTax and discover a new free way of filing your return (HMRC approved), know what expenses will help you lower your tax bill and keep all your records online, safe & sound. Ready to file with one click! Free means free. No hidden costs.

This juice is so refreshing and light, that it's theme song is So Fresh and So Clean by Outkast.
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1/2 large organic cucumber
- 2 large leaves of organic kale
- thumb size of organic ginger (gives the juice quite a zing! If you are not used to ginger, start with less)
You can double the ingredients to make more and save it, but I like to drink my juice fresh to reduce the amount of nutrients lost.

Sticker packs contain party stickers which are used to level up parties. You can win them from various sources such as the spin, bonus rewards from other features and parties themselves!
There are 2 types of sticker packs; green and purple ones. The green packs are normal ones which provide random stickers. Please note that duplicates might come out of this pack but you earn some rewards if it's a duplicate sticker; so there's no losing! The purple packs can be bought with cash on the party popup and they provide you with unique stickers. So, you will 100% get a new one that you don't already have.
As you collect stickers, you'll see that they go to your parties on the popup, so you can level up parties with them. When you have all four parts of the same color for a party, you'll level it up!

December, 2015
From Italy's most famous and stunning Cinque Terre coastline, to Tuscany's unknown but beautiful hamlet of Giannella and lakeside town of Orbetello.
Today, Reg drove some 300 kilometres, from Deiva Marina to Giannella along the beautiful Ligurian Sea's coastline, which never disappoints for gorgeous scenery…in-between tunnels, of course.
Distance: 330 kilometres
Diesel: €1.339/litre (across the road and down a little from Valdeiva Marina campsite)
Roads: E80
Tolls: €18.50 for about 140kms but the rest was free. However, you'd have to pay motorists to drive on the 'rest' of the highway, as the majority of this run was not maintained. Probably the reason it's free. I'd suggest that the government is probably responsible for maintaining (or not) this stretch of highway.
Campsite: €26/night
Managers (owners) of this campsite are the most unfriendly so far; so much so that I've included a section below about the unpleasant experience whilst staying at this campsite.
Arrived at this sleepy village later in the afternoon so decided to stretch the old legs with a quick walk after the longish drive. Nothing seemed open and not much to see, so far.
As this is a National Park, it's supposed to be a gorgeous area with loads of activities, and frequented by hoards of locals in the summer. Perhaps a local bus tomorrow will prove better. Although if you Google Giannella, there really isn't much information available on this village.
I imagine this would be a lovely quiet place to retire in one's dotage as there are plenty of walks amongst the pine forest, miles of gorgeous beaches, and a serene peaceful atmosphere.
Day trip to Orbetello and Porto Santo Stefano
As nothing is open near the campsite I couldn't buy a bus ticket. So, managed a free ride on the bus from near the campsite to Orbetello. Actually, everything seems to be closed in Giannella at the moment – very sleepy.
Orbetello is a strip of land and a pretty 5-kilometre drive across the bridge that connects the small island of Monte Argentario to the mainland. This island is 60km2 in total and part of the Tuscan Archipelago. Three strips of land forming two lagoons (Laguna di Ponente and Laguna di Levante) connect the Monte Argentario to the mainland.
Orbetello's Centro still displays beautiful old architecture including the main gates to the town. As a once ancient Etruscan settlement, this town dates back to around 280BC.
Take a long pleasant stroll around the picturesque lake as it's very peaceful and a lovely spot for a picnic or an Espresso.
If you still have some energy after your long stroll around the lake, then head to the northern part of the town (Porto Santa Liberata), find a Tabacchi to buy the bus ticket (€2.50) for Porto Santo Stefano.
Porto Santo Stefano
The drive after Port Santa Liberata becomes very windy, which didn't stop the bus driver from swerving around the coastline as if we were in a Ferrari. Italians drive busses like they drive their cars – no surprise there then!
Descending down the the slopes of Mount Argentario and into Stefano is very picturesque.
A view of the yacht marina in front of the town's multi-coloured apartment blocks built closely together, is not too dissimilar a feel to Cinque Terre. I didn't see any tourists here just locals; but this may be due to the time of year.
At only a short hop of 150 kilometres from Rome, this is a busy get-away destination with locals.
It's a shame there isn't enough time to explore this pretty town as it's late in the afternoon with the sun going down and not sure what buses are like back to Giannella. Typically, bus timetables are a non-existence or a rarity.
The Port is especially scenic at sunset.
You can catch a ferry or private boat to other neighbouring islands from here…may have to return. Divided into four historical districts, each district has it's own coat of arms. There's is also a Spanish Fort to explore…next time.
- Colazione da Tiffany, yes, Breakfast at Tiffany's (P. ZA Plebiscito, 16) – Great coffee (€1.30) and Focaccia (€3.00+). Indoor and outdoor seating.
- Vecchio Bar Del Ministro (Via Barellai, 8) – Coffee/tea (€1.30) and half a Prosciutto Crudo and lettuce Focaccia (€2.50). Think this small place is a father and son bar. Rammed with other local products that look very enticing!
- Supermercato Barracuda (Via Scarabelli 4/6) – As the InCoop opened too late for the bus back, did a quick run around for the vitals at this supermarket. I found Muesli in dispensers at a per kilo price – Muesli is hard to find in Italy and quite expensive, so worth the stop.
As we couldn't find any Tabacchi open to buy a return bus ticket, decided to chance it and be a little 'creative' with our previous tickets. This worked and arrived at Porto Santa Liberata again, for the next bus back to Gianella.
Fun at the campsite chapter
Arriving at the campsite, the elderly owner and his daughter greeted us in what can only be called, a strange manner. In fact, it was hard to gauge whether the campsite was open. The site's website said yes, the campsite's entrance sign said yes, but the owners didn't really know. Did I mention Reg is the only soul here?
We were waved in and asked to follow the elderly owner to a pitch. Registered at reception, where a copy of your passport is taken but they also wanted to keep one original passport. I refused this and was curtly advised that if it was summer, I wouldn't have a choice. I'm not sure why as this campsite is electronically gated and no one can leave without reception opening the gate.
Also odd, was the elderly owner kept speaking in a mix of German, Italian, a few English words, and some other language thrown in for good measure – all in the one sentence. Communication was interesting. When I responded that I could speak in Italian or English, he (and his daughter) continued to speak the several languages. The owner asked us what sort of power amperage we needed and responding with 6AMPs, he barked "NO" and motioned with 3 fingers "3 AMPs". He then motioned that if we trip the fuse box, he'll pull our plug out and we would not have any power for our stay; motioning this 3 times, just so we knew he was adamant.
This is the most expensive site so far: France, Spain, and Italy included. Although it's lovely with hedges between pitches and newish clean facilities, there is no hot water. The owner advised it would be repaired tomorrow. However, the daughter advised "no hot water in winter". Who do we believe and do we chance it? We're here now and nothing else is open. In the summer, a lack of hot water would not be a problem, but in Tuscany's chilly December, this is a problem.
First night
So the first night at the campsite pans out even better (note sarcasm). No lights in the ablution block, no water to wash dishes, no hot water anywhere (but we were advised of the latter). There does seem to be water to flush the toilet…so far. So, dinner dishes are washed with only a head torch for light. We should have just boiled up water and did the dishes in Reg.
Oh and we're locked in for the night and can't get out due to the high electric gate (think this was at about 19:00hrs) – at least it is safe.
Second day
The next morning, there isn't any water at all and no water to flush any toilets. I asked the owner politely to turn the water on. Rat bag – he knew it was turned off! Still no promise of lights or hot water today (and I doubt there ever was). Decided we're leaving tomorrow morning, which is a shame as the region is very pretty.
Saw the elderly owner at the campsite and he advises if there's anything we needed, to just let him know. Hot water? Sadly, no, this wasn't to be, he shook his head. It will be interesting to see if he gives a discount for the two nights.
Last morning
Saw the elderly owner (daughter was missing in action) to pay the bill. I asked for a discount on the 1st night, seeing there was no water for the toilet or no hot water for the shower. In Italian, the owner responds that "it wasn't his fault". In Italian, I reply that "it wasn't my fault and I was paying for a service he advertised". Adamant that we would pay the full price regardless, he then tried to charge us an additional €2/night onto the daily rate for city tax. The hide of this guy! This village is miles from any city. I refused to pay this charge. He only takes cash and was reluctant to provide a receipt. After an argument, I had no option but to pay the full 2-night's accommodation. Remember, we are locked in. He then advised that we'll get a discount on our next visit! Seriously? It's a shame as this would probably be a nice site in the summer.
I felt as if he shafted us promising hot water during our stay and knowingly that it was not going to happen; not giving us a discount for turning the water off; trying to charge us City Tax, then having the hide to ask us why we're leaving!
Leaving Giannella
A shame but decided to cut the stay at this campsite short and keep travelling south.
Next destination…Ostia, which is situated in the coastal outskirts of Rome. Really hope that the next campsite will be a much more pleasant experience than this one.

Introduction to Opportunity Talk
Here's a PRINCIPLE of Opportunity Talk for equity: Talk so opportunities to learn get shared widely (and to meet needs), not just with some.
In the schools you know, are people communicating so necessary opportunities get to all the young people who need and deserve them? And are all the people who need to be included in Opportunity Talk actually included?
In this section of schooltalking.org, we'll post resources that help include, in opportunity Talk, all the people in a community with ideas and energy for getting opportunities to young people.
Let's start an Opportunity Talk Inclusion Plan for a school you know! Create three columns.
- In the first, consider: to pursue equity, Who in this school/classroom/community needs to communicate what opportunity-related information to whom? (How often? When?) (Consider necessary information out and input in. Like, "More parents need to know about afterschool options in the community," "math teachers and families need to discuss necessary precollege coursework," or, "families need to share their take on supporting the homework we've been assigning.")
- In the second column, consider: What are the barriers to needed communication about improving opportunity, and how could those barriers be overcome? (E.g., "We haven't typically discussed community programs at family events," "math teachers don't have time in the school day to meet with parents to discuss precollege course options," or "not all families with ideas about the homework feel comfortable sharing their ideas at parent meetings.")
- In the third, ask: What channel (face-to-face, paper-based, or technology-based communications) might allow necessary communications about improving opportunity to occur? ("Handout, phone message, and email home in Spanish on tapping local afterschool options," "stipend staff to hold school-family Math Night on precollege courses," "face-to-face dialogues with small groups of parents about their family's experiences with the homework.")
Featured #schooltalking effort
In The OneVille Project in Somerville, MA, parents started a Parent Connector Project enabling Opportunity Talk across language groups in a multilingual school community. (The district had forty-two home languages recorded at the time, with three dominant languages other than English.) The Parent Connectors wanted to figure out how to "connect" their English-dominant school to the many parents who spoke Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish, particularly by tapping the bilingual skill of local parents. They also wanted to tap more parent input on improving school and to build relationship across divides of class as well as language.
Featured #schooltalking effort
One Principle of equity-oriented Schooltalk is to talk so opportunities to learn get shared widely (and to meet needs), not just with some. To do that, school communities need to design inclusive and ongoing dialogue about increasing and spreading necessary opportunities to learn – particularly, with all groups of parents. Ann Ishimaru's Equitable Parent-School Collaboration website is a gold mine of tools and resources for folks looking to design true parent-school collaboration. Check it out!
Here's a takeaway I got from one of Ann's research articles:
In one Oregon town, as Ann Ishimaru describes, community leaders began organizing events for Latino parents, starting with Spanish-based workshops that helped parents build relationships, "understand their rights and the public education system," and strategize how to advocate for their children in conversations with educators and other parents. Then, over time, Mexican mothers "who had been timid and afraid to talk in the group prior to the training programs" soon started facilitating the programs for other parents. Eventually, district and school administrators started sitting down with the parents to learn from them about supporting the increasing numbers of local children learning English. "I didn't know virtually anything about ELLs, but I knew I could be a learner, and I needed to learn about the community's needs," said one elementary director.
Featured #schooltalking effort
What do educators need to know, discuss, and do to support undocumented students? "An estimated 271,000 undocumented students are enrolled in the California K-12 public school system" alone.
As William Perez says in this youth-produced PBS story, teachers need tools: "They're in desperate need of information about all the legislation. Teachers go online and they will Google things, or they will find out about Webinars or they will find out about something that — where they can go and sort of educate themselves. But it's being done in a very unsystematic way."
Here's a solution Perez helped develop: the nation's first Allies of Dreamers Certificate Program. "The courses train educators how to support undocumented students transitioning to college and into the work force." It's an amazing example of getting more systematic about necessary conversations. Check it out!
Featured #schooltalking effort
Seeking model language for school anti-discrimination and sexual harassment policies, and policies protecting trans students and immigrant students? NEA Today has lots of examples here.
Keeping students safe to learn = protecting their right to learn!
"In the face of federal civil rights rollbacks and threats, educators, parents and students are organizing to adopt school board policies that strengthen student protections. Get inspired by educators and students making change in their communities and find model policies that will empower you to ensure all students' right to a safe and affirming school."
Featured #schooltalking effort
"What are your hopes and dreams for your child's education?" Here's a great story of a parent-teacher home visit done right.
Once reluctant, dad Paul Lumpkin now widely shares the power of home visits: "who knows what's best for our children other than us?"
Thanks to Karen Mapp for sharing this video originally. I have tapped Karen Mapp's book Beyond the Bake Sale for a million more school-family communication ideas. Check out her new book: Powerful Partnerships!

Could you cut out sugar for lent?
Many people decide to detox for lent, even if they are not religious. If you wish you'd started after the Christmas period, but didn't, now is an excellent time to start, especially as pancake day is out the way. One of the best ways is to cut out sugar. But, can you do it?
Before you decide, please see the below list (and see the video on my page about how addictive sugar is):
- Avoid all sugary drinks: This includes soft drinks, fruit juices, energy drinks, vitamin water, sports drinks and sugar-laden smoothies.
- Cut out all added sugars. This includes: Sugar-laden muesli and processed foods. Check even where it states that there are only 'natural' ingredients in the product – sugar is a natural product, so please check the label!
- Don't add sugar to your tea or coffee and remember that most fizzy drinks and chai lattes can contain as much as 25 teaspoons!
- Check labels (anything over 10%, or is first or second ingredient on a list is too much!) and buy reduced sugar/salt products such as ketchup.
- Increase your vegetable intake, rather than fruit, such as mangos or fresh dates as they are surprisingly high in sugar or choose berries, which are typically lower.
As sugar is hidden in so many products, it may be helpful to consult a trained nutritional therapist to carry out a dietary evaluation, as they will be able to help you improve what you are eating, reduce sugar more generally and detox safely.
This is especially true if you are detoxing or cutting out sugar because you have a health condition and think that this may help with your symptoms, as a trained nutritional therapist can tailor dietary and supplement advice to help alleviate your health condition. A trained nutritional therapist will also be able to work out from your diet history, how to improve what you are eating or if you may be low in certain food groups, minerals or vitamins. Diagnostic testing can also be discussed.

Since 1948, the State of Israel has not only experienced many wars per se, but several succeeding species of war – conventional, economic, and terrorist. Historically, as one mode of war failed to overwhelm the Jewish State, a process of strategic adaptation on the part of its foes has taken place, resulting time and time again in the emergence of succeeding species of attack. When a shift from an old to a new mode of war takes place, Israel is called upon to recognize the emerging species of assault, conceptualize it correctly, assess the nature and seriousness of the threat, and adapt its own strategic concepts, institutions, and behavior to counter it. The ability to identify an emerging species of war swiftly, understand it correctly, and respond to it effectively, is thus a critical challenge for Israel's national security.
This article contends that we are currently in the midst of the latest historic shift in the species of war waged against the Jewish State. The new species of war is Hybrid War in which anti-western states and armed Non-State Actors (NSA's) form transnational alliances, exploit ungoverned spaces, hijack global institutions, and abuse international law to wage military, terrorist, media, diplomatic, and legal battle against Western democracies. The new mode of war is therefore "hybrid" in two fundamental senses: in the formation of novel types of State-NSA alliances, and in the utilization of the panoply of instruments of attack, ranging from the sub-national to the international, from hard to soft. Both are enabled by globalization and the proliferation of technologies that empower organizations, networks, and even single individuals as never before.

RUSH: Beyond the Lighted Stage, a documentary on the Canadian band Rush, won this year's Tribeca Film Festival Audience Award. The film's directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn will receive a cash prize of $25,000. The movie chronicles the history of the band and interviews people like Gene Simmons (Kiss), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Jack Black, and many others. Of course the film also features bandmates Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart talking about how the band formed and why they stil play shows around the world.
I've heard a lot of great things about the movie and between the film winning the audience award and this trailer, I really want to see it. The plan is for the film to be released this June around the same time as their new tour. Hit the jump to read the press release we were sent:
2010 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES HEINEKEN AUDIENCE Award WINNER – "RUSH: BEYOND THE LIGHTED STAGE"
The ninth annual Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), co-founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, and presented by founding sponsor American Express, announced the winner of The Heineken Audience Award – "RUSH: Beyond the Lighted Stage" – tonight at The Altman Building in New York City. The film's directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn will receive a cash prize of $25,000.
Throughout the Festival, which kicked off on April 21, audiences have been able to vote for The Heineken Audience Award by completing nomination ballots upon exiting screenings of TFF films. Final results were tabulated and announced during this evening's Festival wrap party.
"RUSH: Beyond the Lighted Stage" – a mesmerizing music documentary of the legendary Canadian band Rush – made its world premiere at this year's Festival, capturing the hearts of fans and newcomers. In the film, directors McFadyen and Dunn embark on a comprehensive exploration of this extraordinary power trio, from their early days in Toronto through each of their landmark albums to the present day. Audiences were able to sit back and revel in the words, music and wonder of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart.
"The best documentary films are just great stories with characters who jump off the screen, and that is certainly the case with 'RUSH: Beyond the Lighted Stage,'" said Nancy Schafer, Executive Director of the Tribeca Film Festival. "Scot and Sam have told a great story with their film, which is insightful and entertaining to audiences whether or not they are part of the band's formidable fan base. An intimate but energetic portrayal of one of the most prolific rock bands, 'RUSH: Beyond the Lighted Stage' highlights the juxtaposition of music and film as an art form and we hope that Rush fans and audiences around the world embrace the film the way Tribeca audiences have."
"Receiving the Heineken Audience Award at Tribeca means a lot to us as RUSH has always been a band of the people," said directors McFadyen and Dunn. "It was great to see RUSH fans and non-fans enjoy the movie together."
"What wonderful recognition for the hard and diligent work Sam and Scot did to bring this film to the public. We are so thrilled that they have received such a prestigious honor from the Tribeca Film Festival," said Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart of RUSH.
