Sammy J has been performing comedy for at least 16 years, and he plans to keep performing it for at least 40 more. Perhaps best known for his ongoing love/hate/roommate friendship with Randy, Sammy J has released multiple CDs of comic songs he has written. More recently, he's achieved the prestigious feat of licking every Parliament House in Australia and managing to convert current political events into a format every Australian can understand (
Playschool Playground Politics). In 2018, it's time for the return of his 5 yearly 50 Year Show. Started in 2008, the show will continue until 2058, showcasing comedic talent, breaking out the time capsule to add to it something particularly 2018. Sammy spoke to Mel Barrett about his 50 Year Show, Australian politics, his inspirations and his favourite juice box flavour.
First off I just want to say congratulations on your success with Playground Politics and of course your first book The Long Class Goodnight that came out earlier this year.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that.
Do you have any plans on writing another book in the near future?
I have a contractual obligation to write another book. Which is just as well, because I want to. So, I'm just deciding / working through ideas as to whether it will be a sequel or whether it will be a new world with new characters. I just did a writer's festival this week. It was really cool meeting primary school kids who have actually read my book, because I haven't really been out and about that much. That was very cool.
Hopefully the new book comes out quite soon.
Yes. I mean, it has to be written first. It was nice because the book came out in April and then you know things get in the way and then I start doing other things, but to actually meet the kids and have them all asking me questions about the book got me totally re-inspired. So, that was nice.
Favourite juice box flavour and why?
Ooooh, tropical. Back in the day in my formative decade I would not be able to decide between apple, blackcurrant or orange, but tropical just gives you a bit of everything, so you feel like you're looked after. But I think I'm almost allergic to it now and I had juice boxes stored in my cupboard and they would always go out of date and I would grab them for a gig and I would feel a bit funny in the tummy afterwards. It's more a motif now, more than an actual act.
You seem quite interested in Australian politics, were politics something you had always loved as a kid?
Not as a kid, but probably in high school I started getting into it. My dad was a politics teacher which undoubtedly influenced me and he is still my main source of political wisdom. I will bounce ideas off him and he's been a keen observer for many many years. I remember the 1996 election, I was in Year Seven and that was the first one I was really aware of and following and enjoying the stories. When I was at school it sort of became my sport, I don't have any sporting teams, but I liked following the plays, the statistics, the wins and the losses. I guess that was a precursor for what I do for a job, in a way.
But it's interesting…politics, a lot of people don't understand it.
Yeah, and a lot of people don't care for it, which is fair enough. With my stuff I try to have that balance between explaining it enough so people who don't follow politics closely still enjoy it and it is also rewarding people who do follow it pretty closely and can appreciate some really specific jokes.
You're described as a musical comedian, were there any specific performers that you took an inspiration from to have this comedic musical style?
Definitely. There was one moment in my life that changed it and that was my Year Seven music teacher playing a song by Tom Lehrer who was an American satirist, he used to sing political songs on piano. This is '96, which was the same year I was following that election, so I've just realised in saying it out loud where it all began. He sang political songs on the piano and that changed my life, it was really funny and I thought, "that's something I want to do in the future". There I was listening to all these songs about 1960s American politics and there were all these references that flew over my head, but I liked the rhyming and I liked the stupid jokes. That was definitely the start of my musical comedy love and then moving to high school, getting into Lano & Woodley, Tripod, those sort of groups were equally influential for me.
You're very connected with your fans through Facebook. I think it's quite important for artists to connect with their fans. Would you say that social media has helped further your career?
It definitely has, and I say that almost reluctantly as I'm not big on social media. I'm not on Twitter, my instagram page is just a joke of me licking buildings. But, having said that, Playground Politics started as a Facebook show and that's how it became popular. So, I'm really grateful for that and as you would be aware, in the last few weeks I have started a private members' lounge on my Facebook page. So, that's been genuinely fun, I started it just to take the piss out of Facebook. But now it's become a really fun thing. I realise now there are all of these people that I have met and have come to my shows over several years so there's a bit of a history there, and that's been nice, because I do feel like it's building your audience and finding people who share your sense of humour and that's what it's all about for me.
So, tell us a little about The 50 Year Show, what made you come up with the idea?
I had the idea in 2008, ten years ago. I think I got to that point in my career where I wasn't having any big breaks, I had a few opportunities and probably squandered a little bit. So things were going okay, but I was watching colleagues get bigger opportunities than me and mainly because they were funnier than me and I was thinking 'where can I apply my skills specifically?'. It was a very calculated thought, 'well hang on, I quite like time and I'm quite good at committing to things'. So I had this idea, 'what if I created this show that went for half a century?' and that was all the hard work. 2008 was hard work because no one really knew who I was, so trying to convince people to get on board and committing to the idea was quite a challenge. The first show was so fun that it sort of set off this chain and I knew I'd come back. 2013 was the next show. And here we are 10 years later and once again I'm freaking out.
Why every five years for a show?
I just decided it was enough time to let things change. Like for example every five years there's normally been a new president, there's certainly been new prime ministers. It was a good amount of time to see the world changing. It will really feel like an event for the people who went to the first show or second show.
Did you have any specific comedians in mind that you wanted to include when planning the show?
Originally I certainly did, people like Adam Hills, Frank Woodley, some of my heroes at the time. These days I'm more interested in variety, I'm keen on to get some younger performers in the show. Someone like Jude Perl for example, because I'm sure these people will be household names in a few short years and so it's really cool for us to be able to look back on the show and say 'look, they were there when they were really young and fresh. not as many people knew who they were'. For me it's more about variety than specific names.
How would you describe The 50 Year Show for people who haven't been to the last two shows?
Firstly, I would describe it as sold out, so that's a shame for any readers who didn't get tickets. There's always next decade. It is a comedy time capsule experiment, that's what I would call it.
The 50 Year Show is on for the Melbourne Fringe Festival on Thursday the 27th of September at the Northcote Town Hall. The show is now sold out – for more information check out the Melbourne Fringe Festival website.

Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits
Vol 1 Book of Thunder – Chapter 35 Return

Editor: Draygan
First Published on Chaleuria.
Chapter 35 Return
It was then that a familiar voice spoke from behind me.
"You didn't take the wrong charms, nor were my charms useless."
I was startled, promptly turning around to face the speaker. Sure enough, the person who had appeared behind me was no other than Wen Jiubo. He stood about three meters away, watching me. It seemed like he had brushed back the hair at his temples slightly, but otherwise, he was still the same as always – long hair flowing, eyes narrowed lazily with his arms crossed.
What caught my attention was that today, Wen Jiubo was wearing that pitch-black Daoist outfit again. The wide lapel, embroidered with red patterns that I couldn't make heads or tails of, fluttered with the wind. He also wore platform shoes patterned with clouds. I recalled him telling me previously that those type of shoes were called Yunlu [1].
Following that, those shoes took a step forward.
Wen Jiubo sighed, sounding almost despairing. "Even though I know you're dumb, but I never thought you were dumb to this extent."
Hearing this, I immediately got mad. "That's the first thing you say to me? I don't know who was the one who accepted this case and then suddenly ran away, dumping this entire mess in my lap!"
"Don't get angry. I only did that because I trust you." Wen Jiubo smiled at me as he approached. He squeezed the nape of my neck as if petting a cat. "I'll make it up to you later."
I felt goosebumps prickle across my entire body and the hair on the back of my neck stand. I could feel my anger burning even as I felt my face heat up. I inexplicably felt like rushing over and biting him. However, Wen Jiubo didn't give me the opportunity to act on my childish urge, he swerved around me and headed straight to Xiaoying, who was still crying.
He crouched down before her. What happened next surprised me quite a bit; he gently lifted up Xiaoying's injured arm and then blew softly across the bruise.
"Don't be afraid, with one blow, the pain goes." He said quietly as if singing a lullaby.
Xiaoying wiped her tears and stopped crying, seemingly entertained by Wen Jiubo.
"How is it? Does it still hurt?"
Xiaoying shook her head, sniffling.
My gaze caught on the side of Wen Jiubo's face and I ended up staring. Indeed, as I had noticed from the start, he was a very good-looking man, with his slender body, pale skin, and that piercing but mysterious gaze. But I had never expected to see this man, normally teasing and arrogant, show this warm and caring side of himself.
However, not long after, any goodwill I had towards him vanished with just one sentence.
"I'm sorry that you were scared," Wen Jiubo took Xiaoying's tiny, delicate hands in his. "That big brother over there is entirely to blame since he's just so useless."
"Oi!" I hollered, displeased.
Wen Jiubo utterly ignored my objection, reaching out a hand to pat Xiaoying's head. "Alright now, the ground's chilly, and it'll be easy for you to get sick. Why don't you get up and go home for now? No matter how strong the ghost or ghoul, they still won't dare to come out during the day. Tonight, that big brother and I will guard here and we'll definitely catch that demon for you, okay?"
Xiaoying's eyes filled with hope once more, probably feeling that Wen Jiubo was much more trustworthy than my vague dabbling. She nodded vigorously.
After watching Xiaoying return back to her home, I finally let out a small sigh of relief. The relief was also due to Wen Jiubo having returned. No matter how arrogant and unlikeable I thought he was, when it came to ghost and demons, he was hands down the most knowledgeable expert. Since he was back now, a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders.
As soon as Xiaoying left, Bai scrambled out from the hood of my jacket, waving a paw at Wen Jiubo in greeting.
"Oh! You're back!"
Wen Jiubo smiled brightly in return. "You're looking well, little ferret."
"Don't call me that!"
"Why did you return so soon?" I asked Wen Jiubo. "Didn't you say you were… helping investigate a murder case? Did you solve it already?"
"No, not yet." Wen Jiubo said. "The one responsible for the rapes and murders seems to have escaped from C City, leaving behind only a pile of corpses and atrocities for the police to puzzle over. It seems we're after a serial killer this time who's very good at what he does, as there's very little evidence left behind. My two friends are deeply troubled even now."
"Then wouldn't you leaving so suddenly be a problem?"
"I figured that we might have an unexpected lucky break if I returned here. The problems we were having over there weren't resolving themselves anyway." Wen Jiubo shrugged, words vague.
Before I could decipher the meaning of his words, Wen Jiubo changed the subject.
"Anyway, can you give your friends a call now?"
"Eh? What for?"
"To tell them that you're not returning to the dorms tonight." Wen Jiubo looked towards at that eerie, box-like house. "Tonight we're going to stake this place out and catch the real evil spirit."
"Are you saying that you already know what sort of thing is haunting Xiaoying?" I asked, a little surprised.
Wen Jiubo smiled. "Something like that."
I gave my dorm mates a quick call, telling them that I wouldn't be returning tonight. They didn't seem too surprised, barely acknowledging. After that, I also gave Shi Yitong a call, telling him that Mr. Wen had returned, and for him to not worry. Even though he made an eager attempt to join us in catching the ghost, I made up some forced excuse to refuse him. I was scared that his brash attitude might get us into some trouble.
Close to twilight, Wang returned home. It was also at this time that Wen Jiubo and I hid in some thickets of grass next to the box-like house, lying in wait silently. We made sure to face towards Xiaoying's room.
A weird sort of silence fell between us and I eyed Wen Jiubo uncomfortably. Under the dimming light, Wen Jiu sat on the grass with his knees bent, one hand propping his chin up. He didn't look like he wanted to speak at all. Bai lay next to his foot, eyes closed, having seemingly fallen asleep.
I really couldn't stand this sort of awkward atmosphere. Coughing slightly, I started. "Um…"
"What is it?" Wen Jiubo glanced over.
"I feel like there's something not quite right about this case," I mumbled.
"Is that so?" Wen Jiubo seemed to be very interested. "What's not quite right?"
"I can't really say," I muttered. "But… how do I say it? I just feel like… there's none of that usual feel to it."
"You've said before, that I probably have some sort of special constitution or something…" I tried to organize my jumble of thoughts. "When I came across similar cases before, I always felt something and I would always dream about something related to the case. A lot of the time, I would rely on what I saw in those dreams to search for clues."
Wen Jiubo didn't say a word, merely staring at me silently.
Translator's Notes:
[1] – Yun Lu (Chinese: 云履; pinyin: Yún lǚ; literally: "cloud treads") is a type of shoe worn with a traditional Daoist dress. It has a thick sole and has traditional cloud patterning on it.

MARQUETTE, Mich. – In their final race of the regular season, the Michigan Tech men's and women's cross country teams saw many of their runners finish with personal bests at the UP Cross Country Championships.
"It was a pretty solid day for both squads," said head coach Jake Isaacson. "We now have a clearer picture of our championship rosters. We also had a lot of personal bests set today, which is encouraging for our student-athletes to see the result of their hard work."
At the NMU Golf Course, the Michigan Tech women placed six scoring runners inside the top 10 in the 5k race, with three finishing in the top five. Senior Robyn Holmes placed third with a time of 18:59.4, while junior Sarah Goble crossed the finish line behind her in fourth at 19:08.7, and sophomore Carly Huggins came in fifth with a time of 19:08.9. Junior Julia Manzano was the next Tech runner across the finish line, completing the course in 19:27.3 to place eighth, and she was followed shortly after by Lucille Nunneley in ninth with a time of 19:33.0.
On the men's side of the race, the Huskies had five runners place and score inside the top 15 following the 8k course. Freshman Kristoffer Vollset was the top finisher for the MTU men with a fifth-place finish in a time of 27:27.9. He was followed in eighth, ninth, and tenth by senior Gaspard Cuenot (27:45.7), freshman Dutch Schafer (27:46.4), and freshman Ben Holland (27:53.2), respectively. The final Husky to finish in scoring position was sophomore Somer Schrock in 12th with a time of 28:05.9.
With the regular season now concluded, Michigan Tech will now set their focus on the 2018 GLIAC Championships on November 3 at Grand Valley State University. The men and women both finished third at last year's conference championships in Marquette, Michigan, with the men securing one All-GLIAC First Team finish and the women nabbing three Second Team All-GLIAC finishers.

On Friday night (Feb. 7), Woody Allen responded to Dylan Farrow's open letter alleging he had sexually abused her at the age of seven. Allen's lawyer and publicist had previously spoken on his behalf, but in this most recent update, Allen took to the Times to publish an op-ed titled "Woody Allen Speaks Out." Dylan has since responded to Allen's self-defense, denying his claims that her mother Mia Farrow coached her into believing she was molested.
Challenging Allen's response point for point, Dylan stood her ground in a new essay published in The Hollywood Reporter. "I have never wavered in describing what he did to me. I will carry the memories of surviving these experiences for the rest of my life," she wrote. "His op-ed is the latest rehash of the same legalese, distortions, and outright lies he has leveled at me for the past 20 years."
Many of Dylan's assertions point to factual inaccuracies in Allen's Times piece, a number of of which were addressed by Maureen Orth, the reporter who conducted the first interview published in Vanity Fair last year.
Orth quickly responded to Allen's letter, posting "10 Undeniable Facts About The Woody Allen Sexual-Abuse Allegation," many of which directly conflict with Allen's understanding of the case, including the fact that Mia went to the police (her lawyer told her to visit a pediatrician) as well as that Allen took a polygraph (Orth points out that he refused to do so).
Read Dylan's entire response to Allen over at The Hollywood Reporter.

At the end each writing day I am usually between five hundred and a thousand words ahead. I have no idea how many words I delete. Writers write and it is obviously important to put words on the page, but this is not a dick measuring competition. Don't listen to blowhards who boast about the vast number of words they manage to spew out. Concentrate on making your work as good as you can. Decide how much time you can set aside for writing and stick to it. Writers have to be selfish. Hide from your spouse/friends/workmates/children. Get up at 5am. Buy noise cancelling headphones. Take public transport. Write, write, write. Keep sober. Prioritise your book.

MILLCREEK, Utah Shortly after 11:00 P.M. while searching a residence for a wanted subject K-9 "Aldo" was shot and killed according to Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder.
The subject known as David Shane Anderson, 36, was wanted on a felony warrant for assaulting a Police Officer last week. The residence he was located at was around the vicinity of 4303 South and 730 East streets.
In a press conference Sheriff Winder stated: "They (Officers) attempted to enter the residence searching for the individual and as they did they were met with gunfire," Sheriff Winder reported. "Several rounds were fired during the course of that exchange, and Unified Police Department K-9 Aldo has been killed."
After the K-9 had been struck it was stated that an officer covered the K-9 with his own body to shield the animal from further gunfire. The K-9 was picked up during the course of gunfire as officers retreated to a place of safety to attempt to save the animal.
K-9 Aldo was able to leave the building on his own and walked out on all fours, however he did succumb to his injuries a short time later.
"Officer Lovato extracted Aldo to a different room and covered himself over Aldo to protect Aldo with his body armor. All officers backed out of the home after the gunfire."
The suspect barricaded himself within the residence and members of a S.W.A.T. team set up a perimeter. For the next 5 hours the suspect Anderson refused to surrender.
At approximately 4:00 A.M. members of S.W.A.T. re-entered the residence to find the suspect hiding inside a closet injured. It was not known if his critical injuries had been self-inflicted or sustained during the exchange of gunfire with officers at this time.
According to reports Anderson was also wanted on a $25,000 warrant for failing to appear in 3rd District Court for an April 4 scheduling hearing on second-degree felony charges of possession of heroin and methamphetamine with intent to distribute, as well as a $2,500 warrant for class A misdemeanor possession of heroin, according to Utah court records.
K-9 Aldo, 7, served with the Unified Police Department for the past 5 years as a Patrol and Narcotics detection K-9 with Officer Lovato his handler.
The following was posted on the Facebook page of the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of UPD K-9 Aldo. Aldo was shot and killed last night while protecting his handler and other detectives serving a search warrant. Aldo had been in service with UPD for over 5 years, all of them spent with his trainer, partner and best friend, Officer Luis Lovato. Our hearts are heavy, as we have lost one of our own. The bravery, service and sacrifice given by K-9 Aldo will never be forgotten.

Glitz, glamour and garbage — three words not typically used in the same sentence, especially not to describe a formal dress. But for Cara Isdell Lee, they were a perfect fit.
As co-chair of The Captain Planet Foundation Gala, a program that funds and supports hands-on environmental projects for youth, Lee advocates living an eco-friendly lifestyle. So when it came to finding a dress for the 2013 Gala, she wanted something eco-chic.
The only requirement? "It had to incorporate
Coke," Lee said.
And it did… 70 cans to be exact.
Sharing a Vision
Why Coke? While many consider the brand a part of their life, Lee says it is hers.
That may have something to do with the two leading
men in it— her father Neville Isdell, former chairman and CEO of The
Whether it's the fact that she was practically born into her own World of Coke or because she married into the company, Lee knew she wanted her special dress to incorporate her love for the brand and for bettering the environment.
Coke dress design board
To turn her eco-chic vision into a reality, Lee reached out to SCAD Atlanta. The design school connected her with sewing expert and pattern maker, Rachel Henderson. The two were a perfect match.
A third generation seamstress, Henderson says she has always been resourceful.
"Growing up, I didn't have that much money… we had to improvise a lot which leads to my talent of being able to see things and reuse them in a different way," she said.
Like Lee, Henderson shares the same environmentally conscious design esthetic. And also like Lee, her love for the world's best-loved carbonated beverage flows deep.
"It's one of those things that is ubiquitous with growing up in Atlanta," Henderson explained. "The red can and the logo… its home to me."
A Labor of Love
When it came to designing the dress Henderson, said she "wanted it to be recycled but not look recycled."
The idea: to make a sequined dress made entirely of Coke cans. For the designer, that meant becoming best friends with her hole-puncher. For Henderson's boyfriend, it meant a free pass to indulge in his favorite drink.
Out of the 180 cans gathered, he finished 60.
"Drink the soda, punch the can" became Henderson's daily routine over the next three months. It took a month and a half to make the sequins and another month to sew each one on by hand.
Roughly 25,000 sequins later, the top portion was complete.
The sequins are not only recyclable, but they're also reversible. The master seamstress sewed them so each sequin can easily flip over. When they flip in one direction, they show the silver from the inside of the can. But run your hand along the sequins in the opposite direction... and voilà! The Coke can red exterior is revealed.
Lee shines before the Gala
At Lee's request, the bottom half of the dress also met the eco-chic requirement. Henderson constructed the silhouette with a blend of naturally grown hemp charmeuse and tussah silk, a unique silk that lets the silkworm live, turn into a butterfly and fly away. And fortunately for this seamstress' sewing fingers, it only took about six hours to finish.
"The whole time I was sewing it, I was dreaming of what it could be," Henderson said. "I wanted it to be beautiful, I wanted Coke to love it and I wanted it to represent what I had in my heart."
When Henderson saw the pictures of Lee wearing
it, she knew her dream had come true. "She looked fabulous," said Henderson.
The labor of love exceeded Lee's expectations as well. "I think she did an amazing job," she exclaimed, "the dress is just fantastic."
A Dazzling Display
It was the first and last night Lee would ever wear "the
Coke can dress," but she's not hanging it up for good in her own closet. Instead,
she is donating it to the
"Of course, I would love to re-wear it over and over again, but I thought it would be fun to show people that there are different ways to use Coke cans," she said.
Although it may never have a red carpet moment again, it will have another chance to shine. The dress will soon be featured at the World of Coke.
As for Henderson, she hopes this dazzling display will send a message to all.
"There's beauty in everything… even when it looks like trash. The world needs to change their mind about categorizing things and I hope this dress will be a part of helping people realize that," she concluded.

Janine's Story by Tara Teeling
From the first day Janine started at Academy of Learning Career College, she was steadfastly focused on her goals for the future. Already a seasoned retail manager, she made the decision to continue her education so that she would be able to find a new career, one which would allow her a quality of life she had been yearning for. Certainly, there were hurdles to consider, and Janine thought she had considered them all, developing thoughtful strategies and committing to them without wavering. She planned for everything, but plans don't always go the way you think they will, no matter how much preparation goes into them.

MIAMI, FL – Police in Miami are investigating reports of people looting stores as Hurricane Irma hit the state. On Sunday night, Miami police took two people into custody and detained two others.
Deputy Police Chief Luis Cabrera told the Miami Herald the officers went to the Shops at Midtown on Sunday afternoon as the winds of Hurricane Irma were at their strongest in South Florida. Cabrera says a group in a white truck hit multiple locations. Police have also received additional reports of looting in the city.
Police had issued a curfew Saturday night, partly to ward off looters by giving officers probable cause to stop anyone for being on the street during the storm.
Cabrera didn't have specific details about the looting incidents.

More trouble at the Congress Theater
Updated Sunday afternoon with a link to a letter from the owner of the Congress about Friday night.
A fight during a hip-hop show at the Congress Theater Friday night prompted a response from more than two dozen police and fire officials and shut down Milwaukee Avenue for several blocks in both directions.
The incident occurred only three days before a Deleterious Impact/Public Nuisance Hearing on the venue set to take place at City Hall Tuesday, and on the eve of two sold-out shows by electronic dance music superstar Bassnectar, who has expressed concerns about the quality of security at the theater and is bringing his own team to shows tonight and Sunday.
(In response to comments below: Bassnectar brings his own security to every show, but in a post on his Web site, he specifically criticized the Congress and mentioned the rape outside the venue earlier this year, as reported earlier in this blog.)
Details regarding Friday's altercation between a concertgoer and police are sketchy, and officials reported only one arrest, for a patron who attempted to drive away while intoxicated.
The fight occurred during a show
headlined by featuring Chief Keef Sossa, a 16-year-old South Side rapper under house arrest for unlawful use of a weapon during a run-in with Chicago Police. (Here is a profile of the artist from Gawker.)
Keef is notorious for bragging about being a drug dealer, as well as for the song "Bang" ("That smoke's got me gone, can hear it in the air/We on top like some stairs, don't give a f---, I be goin' to hell") and a mix tape of the same name that pictures him holding a handgun.
Chicago Police clearly expected trouble at the show and sent the following message in advance to neighborhood groups and 1st Ward Ald. Joe Moreno: "Chief Keef is on a GPS electronic monitoring device. A contract was signed with the promoter for Chief Keef to perform and a judge has ruled to honor the contract obligation and has allowed Chief Keef to participate in the show."
Some supporters of the Congress Theater were quick to suggest racial profiling in the wake of the police response, but neighborhood blogger Alisa Hauser, who has been harshly critical of Ald. Moreno and exceedingly pro-Congress Theater, has an exhaustive and reasonably balanced post on her Chicago Pipeline Web site.
UPDATE: Congress Theater owner Eddie Carranza, who has been working harder in the public-relations battle with Ald. Moreno before the Tuesday hearing than he has to make improvements to his venue over the last decade, sent a long letter to the Logan Square community Sunday blaming an exaggerated police response on Friday on--you guessed it--Moreno. The text of the letter can be found here.

In the leadup to ArtPrize Nine, we're catching up with artists who've won grants to bring their work to the event this fall through the series, "5 Questions with...".
Today we're hearing from AJ Paschka, a Grand Rapids-based artist who won a Featured Pubilc Projects grant to bring his interactive laser installation, "STARFALL," to ArtPrize Nine. Read on to learn more about this project, what inspires him, and more.
1. Describe the project you're making for ArtPrize. What will visitors see?
I am creating an interactive laser installation along the Grand River and interactive components at the JW Marriott. Visitors should be able to see the sculptural elements on top of building roofs during the day and see the riverfront light up at night. The lighting components will be able to respond to sound and are thematically tied together with an interstellar mythology.
2. How does this piece fit into your past work? Is this an extension of an existing body of work, or something new?
This is an extension of laser installation work that I have been doing since 2012. This particular work elevates the interactive component and scale of the installation. It combines my work in photography, radio, music, and technology into a new experience. What ties all of those activities together is my interest in wavelengths.
3. What's your favorite artwork (by someone else) and why?
This a very hard question to answer. I very much like the late career paintings by Willem De Kooning. I am not a fan of work in which he made his career on, but these paintings were made when he was elderly and are distinctly different. They are lyrical and sensuous, and I feel I could be content to look at one for the rest of my life. To me, they feel like an oracle for imagination.
4. What inspires and informs your practice besides other art? What do you pay attention to? What do you research?
I am inspired by the imagination of kids. My son Logan is the primary inspiration for my ArtPrize piece this year.
I am a big fan of myths and legends and anything that celebrates magic realism. I am informed by other light artists, mostly in the music industry, and I pay attention to new technology in music production. What is also interesting to me is that the aesthetic of lasers and the visual vocabulary of entertainment, protest and weapons is very close.
5. What is your dream project?
I'd love to strap a bunch of lasers to a Gravitron and other carnival rides and let it rip. I'd love to shoot lasers through the Grand Canyon, light up icebergs, take over the mist of Niagara Falls, and take it to the remote places of the earth. In addition, I'm also interested in developing the Starfall Kittens into entertainment content for kids.By Kevin Buist on

Is living with moles or warts really ruining your quality of life? Do you wish there were natural
cures? Well today is your lucky day because there are! Actually, there are several ways to permanently remove moles, warts, and skin tags with natural methods. This may be shocking to some of you, as it was to me when I first learned of some of this information. I myself have struggled with moles since I was in middle school. I kept hoping that there would be some new scientific breakthrough, or an herb discovered from the Brazilian Rainforest which could cure my moles.
I routinely asked my dermatologist if there were any new advancements in dealing with moles, and he always had the same answer, "No". It wasn't until years later, when I did an Internet search, that I unearthed the incredible findings. There were indeed alternative methods to surgery. The best part was that these methods were easy, cheap, and natural at that! Discovering this information was the beginning of a long journey for me.
A journey for the truth which has led me to a whole new perspective on health, wealth, and life. We will save the latter two topics for another day. For now let me share some of this information, which was a true catalyst in me changing my life for the better. I hope it has the same transforming effect on you, as it did on me.
Wow, so you can actually removal moles yourself at home with simple natural methods? My answer to that is, "absolutely". In fact, I was floored to learn just how many remedies and products there were for this problem. Honestly, I never saw that many people with as many moles as me, so I blindly figured that maybe there was no demand for this information. Well I was wrong, so let's get right to the methods I have tried. Please bare in mind that these methods may work differently depending on the person and the type of wart, mole or skin tag.
Great Natural Mole Cures
Raw garlic sliced and soaked in apple cider vinegar
Blood root (natural native American plant-based salve)
Food grade hydrogen peroxide
In addition to these there, are literally dozens of other natural mole cures; and natural remedies which will heal warts and skin tags as well. I only wanted to mention the ones that I used. All three cures had about equal effectiveness. They work to destroy the bacteria which produces these blemishes. In my case it sometimes took a few applications to totally remove the moles.
There are also two natural mole removal products I tried. Dermatend is a bloodroot based product. It works pretty good, but has slight burning sensation when left on for too long.
The second was a plant based product called "Nevi No More" by fonoils. It had a slower effect for me so I would have to say it was the least effective in my case. I think having a better understanding of what causes moles, warts and skin tags (bacteria), along with a knowledge of how to properly apply the methods, will free you from the pain of living with these blemishes.
I strongly recommend getting advice from a suitable practitioner of these methods. I am not one, which is why I did not go into the application of these cures. I just wanted to introduce everyone to the knowledge. There are a lot of free resources on the web, but I suggest you get your information through a reputable source.

At UCLA, my alma mater, spoken word was really, really, popular. Every Wednesday night, my friends and I would go watch out peers pour their hearts out through poetry, and while I never tried it out myself, it was probably one of the more enlightening things I was watching in college.
Kojey Radical takes my interest in spoken word, and balances it delicately with slight rap intonations that bring together a whole new different range of emotions. Meshing these two worlds usually means some kind of jazz or soul hop style, but instead he ties it all together with a dark, trap-influenced beat, making Radical one of the most interesting rappers I've heard in a little while. "Bambu" was entrancing upon first listen, and we can't wait to hear more from him in 2015.

Stephen Colbert's love of J.R.R. Tolkien isn't exactly a secret. I mean, he often points to his fandom as his chief geek credential and has actively debated his guests on LoTR trivia in the middle of interviews:
So I'm sure he was okay with cosplaying for Entertainment Weekly and writing a wrap-up article about the release of last Hobbit movie (and the subsequent end of the Peter Jackson Tokien-verse).
He seems fine with it.

North County High School students Jack Andraka and Chloe Diggs recently captured the gold medal and $50,000 in the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge, which encourages student teams to identify an environmental issue that has global impact and provide a viable, replicable solution.
Teams were required to select an environmental topic relating to energy, biodiversity, land management, water conservation or cleanup. The two students created a biosensor to monitor water contaminants rapidly and inexpensively, and also developed an inexpensive water filter made from plastic water bottles and amino acids.
The biosensor is simpler to use than current sensors and costs slightly more than 1/200,000th of the price, while the filter is 1/42nd the price of current filters.
The two students are competing this week in the I-SWEEEP, the International Sustainable World (Energy, Engineering, Environment) Project Olympiad, this weekend in Houston, Texas. The pair will also compete in the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, which recognizes work in water and environmental science, in Sweden this summer.

iSatori AMINO GRO Reviews
Great product but !!!!!!!
The only thing that i didn't like about the product was the after taste made me feel like i had slightly stinky breath due to the after taste not a real concern but noticeable.

Knocked it out of the park
So, I received a 7 serving tub of iSatori Amino-AMP from a Illpumpyouup promo and tried it very well. Thank you IllPumpYouUP.com and iSatori. The flavor i received was the Grape Quencher, honestly it tastes unbelievable for a BCAA powder. They struck a grand slam home run with flavoring on this supplement. The mixabliity is amazing, It mixes just about as good as it tastes. SO the effectiveness, I had took my dose of Amino-AMP right before bed on an empty stomach. It seemed to help my muscles recover faster and make me want to increase the frequency of my workouts. Thus far, iSatori has never disappointed me with one of their supplements, great company!

YORK, Pa. – The Salisbury University men's basketball team dropped a Capital Athletic Conference decision, 71-63, at York (Pa.) College on Saturday afternoon.
The Sea Gulls and Spartans traded the lead 10 times in the first half as Salisbury took an early 4-2 lead on layups by seniors Mike Maczko and Jason Nwosu. Despite leading at five different times in the first half, Salisbury (9-6, 2-5 CAC) never led by more than two points.
York used a 12-7 run over the final six minutes of the first half to head to the locker room with a 30-26 lead. The Spartans (9-7, 4-3 CAC) took advantage of 15 trips to the free throw line in the first half, connecting on 11 tries while Salisbury attempted just three free throws in the first 20 minutes of play.
The Spartan lead grew to 14 points in the first four minutes of the second half before back-to-back layups from Nwosu slowed the York run. Nwosu finished with 14 points as Salisbury would score 22 points from non-starters.
York's lead topped out at 19 points before the Gulls began to chip away. A three-pointer from sophomore Tim Harwood, who scored 17 points in the game, began an 8-2 run that cut the lead back to 13.
Salisbury shot a season-best 57 percent (8-of-14) on three-point attempts, including a late three from Maczko, who scored nine of Salisbury's final 14 points as the Gulls made a closing push. Maczko finished with a team-best 18 points in the game to go with 10 rebounds for a double-double.
The Sea Gulls got the lead down to six in the closing minute, but could get no closer.
The Sea Gulls will be back in action on Wednesday night as they host St. Mary's (Md.) College at Maggs Physical Activities Center. The game is schedule to tip-off at 8 p.m.

Vivian Beaumont Theater (at Lincoln Center)
Time Out says
Built in 1965 to be Lincoln Center's main playhouse, the Beaumont features a sleekly modern (if dated) design by Jo Mielziner and architect Eero Saarinen. In recent years, the area immediately surrounding the Beaumont was redesigned with the addition of outdoor tables and chairs. Downstairs from the 1,041-seat Beaumont is the second stage, the smaller Mitzi Newhouse Theater. Lincoln Center Theater has opened several acclaimed, high-profile successes in this house, including The Light in the Piazza, Tom Stoppard's Coast of Utopia trilogy and the smash-hit revival of South Pacific.

Clos Pegase Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2002
Winemaker's Notes:
Clos Pegase grows Cabernet Sauvignon at all three of its estate vineyards, though the newest parcel, a high density planting at the winery named Applebone, is not yet in production. The principal sources will continue to be our 40-acre Palisades Vineyard, nestled at the base of Mt. St. Helena, and the spare plot known as Graveyard Hill in Carneros. Both these vineyards, despite their dramatic climatic differences, share well-drained, rocky terrain that stress and concentrate the resulting berries. Little effort is required to extract the deep black color and lush tannin structure that are the birthright of these wines. Vinified with natural yeast, and left to macerate for several weeks on their dense skins, the resulting wines reflect the opulence and fine minerality that derives from their light yielding and exacting soils. After a long fermentation with the skin and seeds, the free-run juice is extracted and run off into small French barriques for two years or more of cellar age. The press wines are collected and sold in bulk, as the long maceration renders these wines too rustic to be blended into our Clos Pegase bottlings. Smaller aliquots of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot from our estate vineyards may be judiciously added to spice the palate or perfume the aromatic profile of our Cabernet blends. Ultimately, it is the alchemy of blending that is the signature of these wines. We are blessed in being able to blend richly tannic, naturally acidic Cabernet from Graveyard Hill with the preciously aromatic, but shorter, broader-textured wines of Palisades. Here, the sum is truly greater than the parts. Flush with black cherry, cassis, mocha, chocolate and dried flowers wedded to silky, mouth-coating tannins, our Cabernet is indeed an expression of the best that Napa Valley has to offer.

Clos Pegase Cabernet Sauvignon Palisades Vineyard 2002 and all other premium wine from Clos Pegase available at discounted prices at CheaperCigars.com. We also carry many other premium wine lables from USA and all over the world.
Clos Pegase has turned into one of the most dependably exciting, multi-varietal wineries in Napa Valley. The very fine '01 Hommage now is followed by an equally good '02. It's ripe and juicy in black currant, cherry and chocolate, with rich, velvety tannins. A minor quibble is that the wine doesn't really need all that new oak; it almost overshadows the beautiful fruit.
Sleek and silky, elegant and complex. Flavors of cassis, currant and ripe cherries. Light spices and tannins balance this wine out beautifully. Drinking flawlessly now. A perfect match with pepper steak or pork chops.
Crisp and harmonious, gaining some flesh and silkiness as it unfolds its cherry, prune and spice flavors. Approachable now, best from 1997.
The top barrels from the Graveyard Hill and Palisades vineyards are chosen for Hommage. The 1998 (925 cases of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon) came primarily from Graveyard Hill Vineyard with about 0ne-third from the Palisades. A superb 1998, and certainly one of the vintage's most complete wines, it boasts an opaque ruby/purple color in addition to aromas of sweet cherry, cassis, smoke, fudge and toasty oak. Full-bodied, powerful, and formidably tannic, with excellent balance, it will drink well between 2003-2020.
"Hommage" reflects the continuous struggle by Clos Pegase to produce the finest red table wine by blending Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Aged in a melange of French oak for 16 months, this wine shows a rich forward nose of cassis, plum and blackberry with just a hint of sweet toast from the barrel. On the palate the wine shows rich, elegant fruit with soft tannins and a long, complex finish.
A subtle and elegant blend, integrated and gentle. Scents of cassis carry through across the palate, then the tannins begin to over- whelm the fruit in the finish. That balance should resolve with several years in the cellar, as the earthiness that is now only hinted in the tannins comes forward with the fruit. You could also resolve the tannin balance by serving the wine with roast lamb marinated in rosemary.

As I mentioned in a previous post I have recently been experimenting with producing Immersive 360 content. An early attempt was to create a factory tour of a working Pottery in Stoke on Trent. My initial still images just didn't give you that 'feel' of the place. Which hasn't really changed in a hundred years. However the 360 images allowed you to look around and really explore the environment, in a way that conventional images just couldn't achieve.
I am not convinced that 360 content will ever go fully mainstream, especially if you have to wear goggles to view it. However for some content, it works really well. I am currently working on a project that uses 360 video and whilst doing some research, I came across the video below. It tells the story of 'A Day In The Life Of A Trans Woman'. Initially the camera shoots from a third person perspective, but later on it becomes first person. So we get a real insight into how people are viewing and reacting to the person telling the story. Whilst there are loads of videos on YouTube using 360 video, this one is using it to tell a story in a way that couldn't be done any other way. It is an original approach that really uses the medium well.
As an aside. The comments to the video tell a story in themselves!

EntertainmentExpress API (PRO) requires a bearer token header be included in all of your requests. To obtain a bearer token, your application must first authenticate with our oAuth server by providing your appid and secret key
which can be found at http://mediamanager.internetvideoarchive.com/Account/Appprofiles/profiles.aspx under Accounts. Here you register your application and access your appid and secret key.
Important: Your SECRET_KEY is a password and should not be exposed, visible or shared with untrusted users.
Your client application will make a request to the oAuth server located at:
The POST request needs to include grant_type, client_id, and client_secret parameters.
$ curl -d grant_type="client_credentials" \ -d client_id=APPID \ -d client_secret=SECRET_KEY \ 'https://ee.internetvideoarchive.net/token'
$.ajax({ async: false, type: "POST", dataType: "json", url: 'https://ee.internetvideoarchive.net/token', data: { 'grant_type': "client_credentials", 'client_id': '{Your_APP_ID}', 'client_secret': '{Your_Secret_Key}' }, ...rest of code removed... })
The response object returned will include your access_token, token_type and expires_in parameters. The response is in JSON and can be easily parse using javascript.
{ "access_token": "sadf6d81159easdf3424kjdfg90345345hhh_fdf349d408f2f", "token_type":"bearer", "expires_in":405600543 }
For each api request (https://ee.internetvideoarchive.net/api/expresspro/1234?appid={APPID}) you will need to include the access_token in the header.
For Example:
$.ajax({ dataType: "json", headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + 'sadf6d81159easdf3424kjdfg90345345hhh_fdf349d408f2f', 'X-Api-Version': '1' }, url: 'https://ee.internetvideoarchive.net/api/expresspro/actions/search/', ... remaining code ....
Express API will return Program object(s) requests if the Bearer token is valid in the header is valid.
Tokens are passwordsKeep in mind that the APPID, SECRET_KEY, and bearer token (access_token) grant access to make requests on behalf of an application. These values should be considered as sensitive as passwords and must not be shared or distributed to untrusted parties.
SSL RequiredThis manner of authentication is only secure if SSL is used. All requests (both to obtain the tokens and the APIs themselves) must use HTTPS endpoints.
Rate LimitingAccess_tokens expire in 14 days. We recommend you cache your bearer access_token for 24 hours and re-authenticate to get a new access_token daily. Do not attempt to request a new access_token for each request or you will be rate limited and authentication will eventually fail.

Although I have heard that CD players are on average better at reproducing sound, I have also heard that the best sound quality can still be had from high end phonographs. To what extent is this true?
The digitization process does introduce some distortions into the sound signal, including aliasing (confusion about high frequencies) and quantization error (round-off errors in recording the softest sounds). However, these distortions should be so small or at such high frequencies that they should be inaudible. Still, there are always some audiophiles who can hear (or claim to hear) these imperfections.

While one of our US Senators spent his time living in the past and fighting a bill that is already law, Senator Wendy Davis was out educating and receiving recognition for her work that improves the future landscape for Texans.
On Tuesday, Wendy Davis spoke to a group of health care providers and industry leaders on her bill that will address the enormous backlog of untested rape kits in Texas. In addition, Davis was placed on the "Legislative Honor Roll" by the Texas PTA for her work to strengthen public education.
The Dallas-Forth Worth Hospital Council hosted the event "Rape Kit Responsibility: The Impact of Senate Bill 1191." As previously reported, the Texas Department of Public Safety will receive $11 million to address the almost 23,000 rape kits that are currently waiting to be tested across the state. The bill also requires nearly all hospitals with emergency room services have trained medical personnel available to properly collect DNA and other vital evidence from victims of sexual assault. Thanks to Davis' bill that became effective the beginning of this month, individuals who are sexually assaulted will avoid being forced to travel to other facilities hours away due to lack of trained medical staff. It will also allow investigators to work with nearby hospitals to make sure evidence is collected immediately after a crime is committed.
Read more below the jump"This is about identifying, tracking down, prosecuting and imprisoning sexual predators through smart law enforcement work," Sen. Davis stated in a press release. "Assisting the effort to bring sexual predators to justice is just common sense."
The DFWHC is a longstanding coalition: for 43 years, they've brought together health care providers and industry leaders throughout North Texas together on behalf of promoting patient safety, as well as cost effective, quality healthcare. Through this legislation and by bringing stakeholders together, Senator Davis has been able to improve the pathway to justice for victims of sexual assault. Senator Davis has been able to lead by clearing the confusion and mystery that has long troubled this process.
And today, another segment of Senator Davis' legislative accomplishments was celebrated. The Texas PTA, the largest child advocacy association in Texas, named Wendy Davis to their Legislative Honor Roll for the 83rd Session. The Texas PTA Legislative Action Committee appoints lawmakers who have shown strength as advocates for children's issues by supporting or creating legislation that benefits youth, and has remained committed to the Texas PTA's legislative agenda.
The Texas PTA recognized Senator Davis for her efforts to restore public education funding, and for helping divert these much-needed state funds from being spent on private school vouchers.
From Senator Davis' press release:
Child Advocacy Association Recognizes Wendy Davis for Her Commitment to Strengthening Texas Schools
FORT WORTH – Texas PTA, the largest child advocacy association in the state of Texas, today announced that it has named Senator Wendy Davis to its Legislative Honor Roll for the 83rd Session. The Texas PTA is honoring Senator Davis in
recognition of her outstanding work to strengthen and protect Texas public schools and, especially, her staunch opposition to private school vouchers which divert badly needed state funds away from neighborhood schools.
The Texas PTA Legislative Action Committee created the Legislative Honor Roll to recognize elected and appointed officials who are "strong advocates for children's issues, supporters of legislation or actions that benefit children and youth, and demonstrate a strong commitment to…Texas PTA's legislative agenda."
Sen. Davis also fought to restore a large part of the $5.4 billion removed from our public schools in 2011. That year, Sen. Davis led the filibuster to protest the huge cut in school funding and to highlight the threat to Texas children and their families. Despite being removed from the Senate Education Committee, Sen. Davis passed several important pieces of legislation during the 83rd Session and
was influential in reducing the number of standardized tests. Among these were measures to audit the current testing contractor who holds a half-billion dollar state contract to ensure accountability, help students in foster care make successful transitions within our public schools and to provide active duty military families with school-age children more flexibility with school attendance requirements.
"Senator Davis is a trusted friend to Texas PTA and a courageous defender of Texas children and their families, said Karen Slay, President of Texas PTA. "We are fortunate to have such a passionate advocate for our children, their teachers and their parents. Texas PTA applauds her efforts on behalf of Texas families."
"I am very proud and honored to be recognized by the Texas PTA," said Sen. Davis. "Providing quality education for all Texas students is more than a
legislative duty, it is a moral responsibility. Congratulations to the outstanding members of the Texas PTA who work so hard to make sure that legislators know how their policies effect Texas students and families."
Wendy Davis' hard work in the legislature has been far from ignored. As the effects of her pieces of legislation form now that they are enacted into law, the State Senator's achievements will only continue to be realized.
