A TV review of Star Trek: Picard.
The latest on Blu-ray and streaming includes The Addams Family, Pain and Glory, and Gemini Man.
Since he started as film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967, and began covering movies locally and at international film festivals, Roger Ebert has met and interviewed countless movie idols, artists and unknowns -- some of them even before they became famous. There's hardly a major figure in the history of movies, from the last part of the 20th century into the 21st, that he hasn't encountered.
Some directors and writers won't talk about their work. You suggest a theory and they elevate an eyebrow and nod and drum their fingers and imply that no such thing as a thought ever crossed their minds about the work in question.
David Mamet is not such a person. He and Sidney Lumet are the only two active directors who have written books about the craft of making movies. With them, there's a lot of theory. They like to talk about how the thing goes together.
You can see that in Mamet's other obsessions, which include magic and con games. Every card trick is a three-act drama in miniature; the cards are introduced and explained, the problem is outlined, the audience's sympathy is engaged, the outcome seems assured, and then something amazing happens: Hamlet is poisoned, or the ace turns up inside the balloon you've been holding the whole time.
When you take the buried structure of a card trick and expand it into a screenplay, here's what you keep: You manipulate the audience so that they are NOT trying to figure out what's happening, but they're trying to figure out the secret purpose for what's happening. In dumb movies, the director tries to fool the audience with the event itself. In smart movies, like Mamet's, he tries to fool them into believing they've seen through it. By the same token, in clever card tricks, at the moment of deception there is another piece of business, suspicious-looking but irrelevant: A-ha! they think, looking at the scarf, it's hidden in the folds! Meanwhile, the magician is surreptitiously blowing up the balloon.
Mamet's new film, "The Spanish Prisoner" is about just such a con game. Even to tell you that may be cheating. I walked in not knowing it was a con game, but suspecting it was, because a lot of Mamet's movies ("House of Games," "Things Change," "The Edge") are about deception, and because the cast included Ricky Jay, the bearded wizard who always seems at Mamet's side when elaborate deception is involved.
So it's a con game. It stars Campbell Scott as a man who has invented "The Process," and it's going to make millions for a company headed by Ben Gazzara. They're in the Caribbean to iron out the details. Ricky Jay is a company attorney, Rebecca Pidgeon (Mamet's wife) is a secretary with a crush on Scott, and Steve Martin is a mysterious stranger who arrives on the island by a seaplane. Or does he? See, that's how it works: We're figuring that he probably wasn't in that seaplane at all, but only seemed to be, and actually it doesn't make the slightest difference if he bicycled to the island.
"Shakespeare said nothing's either good or bad, but thinking makes it so," Mamet told me. This was last September, right after the movie's world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. He has written two other movies set to open first ("The Edge" and "Wag the Dog"), and then this film, which he wrote and directed, would open in the spring.
"People will be watching TV and a picture comes on of a brooding guy, maybe he's got a beard. And the anchor says, the young child was abducted by the gunman and held at gunpoint for three hours. And you're looking at the bearded guy and thinking, why would they even let this guy near a child? And then the news continues, Then this heroic young clergyman walked in. And now you're looking at the guy and thinking, well, obviously, he's a hero.
"What we're told about something so absolutely influences what we 'know' about it. And that's what a confidence game is about, and also what a lot of drama is about. We're told something about the hero--or more importantly, we allow ourselves to understand something."
In "The Spanish Prisoner," which contains no prisoners and no Spanish, we're allowed to think whatever we want,. From time to time Mamet us to think we see the card going up his sleeve. To see through the deception and spot the trick which nevertheless conceals the real deception inside.
Mamet is so fascinated by this process that he wrote and directed the celebrated off-Broadway show by Ricky Jay, who is considered the greatest card manipulator in the world. The show also played Chicago and went on a national tour, and I remember watching it one night next to a professional magician who said quietly, "I know what he's doing and how he's doing it, but I can't see him do it."
"You've known Ricky Jay a long time," I said.
"Yeah," Mamet said.
"I was startled to find out I've known him longer than you have. We went to college together."
"You did? At Cornell?"
Now there was a little pause.
"At Illinois," I said. "Now that's interesting, that you said Cornell." Did Ricky Jay even go to Illinois or Cornell? With Ricky Jay you can't be sure.
"I think he went to Cornell hotel school," Mamet said.
"When he told me we met at Illinois," I said, "I told him I didn't remember his name. And he said, 'My name wasn't Ricky Jay then. And I didn't look like this'."
"So let me tell you how it works," Mamet said. "We were on the movie of 'Things Change' and a guy comes up to me and says, 'Dave, Dave.' I said 'Hi.' He says, 'Don't you recognize me?' I say, 'I beg your pardon.' He says, 'It's Pat. Pat Kelly.' I say 'Oh, hi.' He says, 'Pat Kelly from Chicago.' I say, 'Where do I know you from?' He starts telling me about the times he worked with me at the St. Nicholas Theatre and I absolutely don't remember this guy and he's an actor. And he says, 'You got anything on the movie for me?' I say, 'Well, probably...sure; I'm sure I can find something for you to do in the movie....I'll give you a part in the movie, you know, but just off the record, I've never met you, have I?' 'Come on, Dave," he says, "of course you remember me'."
"I've always loved that process," Mamet said. "To make someone go along with an idea, or even make them think it's their idea. I think it really hardened when I was living in Chicago and selling Walton carpets over the telephone. W-A-L-T-O-N is what you dial, remember that? And then I was selling real estate up at Lincoln and Peterson and I got fascinated by the skill that it took to convince someone to do something which was absolutely against their interest and absurd into the bargain. The moral implications aside, it was an act of such personal courage to be able to force, to convince, to cajole another to do your bidding, and in such a way that they weren't aware of it. It wasn't their own idea. I thought that it was astounding. That it was the essence of drama."
Mamet treated the real estate days in "Glengarry, Glen Ross," his Pulitzer Prize-winning play about salesman seducing clients into buying property they didn't need, didn't want, and couldn't afford. And "The Spanish Prisoner," beneath all the levels of differences, does the same thing.
What's being sold is hope. Or sex. Or greed. Depends on how you look at it. The weakness of the protagonist becomes the strength of his enemies.
"This has to work like a Swiss watch," Mamet told me, "because it's a confidence game, not on the characters, but on the audience. You put in one piece of information too many, they're gonna get bored. You put in one piece of information too little, they aren't gonna have enough to intuit ahead of you. What you want is constantly try to make them guess wrong. Just like in magic."

Relative Vigor Index (RVI) is a technical indicator that is used for making analysis on the financial market. It measures the conviction of a recent price action and the probability that it will continue. As a rule on the bull market the closing price is higher, than the opening price. Analogically, it is the opposite on the bear market. So using the Relative Vigor Index we see that the vigor, or the energy, of the move in this way is established by where the prices end up at the close. If you want to bring the index back to the daily trading range, divide the change of price by the maximum range of prices for the day. For more precise calculation, market participants may use Simple Moving Average. The most appropriate period is 10. To prevent from eventual ambiguity you have to draw a signal line, which is a4-period symmetrically weighted moving average of Relative Vigor Index values. The concurrence of lines may show you when to buy or to sell.
Calculation of this indicator ->
Where: OPEN — is the opening price; HIGH — is the maximum price; LOW — is the minimum price; CLOSE — is the closing price.

In a landmark move, it has been announced that Cambridgeshire's Hinchingbrooke Hospital will become the first privately managed hospital in the UK. The Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Trust has left the bidding to run the hospital, leaving three private companies, Ramsay Health Care, Circle Health and Serco, to battle it out for the contract.
Opponents have questioned the privates companies' motives, with Tom Woodcock of opposition group Cambridgeshire Against Cuts saying:
[quote]It's a dangerous idea as the shareholder will be above patient care. The only way you can make a profit is to cut something, to lower the standard of delivery or make staff work extra hours. We are trying to reinstate the NHS as a national health service and not a patchwork of providers.[/quote]
It has been estimated that some 20 UK hospitals could follow Hinchingbrooke, which has debts of £40m, into the hands of the private sector over the next 12 months.

Last year around this time, (a little later, maybe) I started reading holiday themed horror books – to review on a new website I was a part of. I went crazy! Zombies, serial killers, supernatural, humor horror ranging from light & silly all the way to the darkest of the dark. And everything betwixt & between!
It was some of my best work. I was calling it my Holiday Horror Binge, and I was really proud of it. And in one mood swing, it was all gone. The site's owner locked down and closed up with no warning. Everything I had done, even before the Holiday Of Horror, was gone, and… silly me… I didn't have back up notes. I wasn't big into Goodreads, and I didn't want to leave identical reviews on my blog and on Amazon. I still don't remember everything I did for that, but I think the number was around 12.
That was when I decided, after two attempts of working under someone else, That it was time for my own Blog.
I rewrote a couple of those Holiday Horrors from scratch, like A HACKED UP HOLIDAY MASSACRE. I had to skim through the book again, (the notes I take while reading would make you laugh), and they probably turned out better than before. But, my habits have changed!
I have a very long list of books I want to tackle for my 2013 Holiday Horror Binge & Purge Blog Event.
I did a quick roll through one part of my storage and came up with these lists…
I have more than 20 unread Halloween books – examples are…
* Penny Dreadfuls: Halloween Special – anthology
* October Roses – Mark Allan Gunnells
* October Girl's – Scott Nicholson
HOLIDAY HORROR 2012 – Read/Reviewed (lost) NEED TO RE-REVIEW
* A Christmas To Remember: (Twisted Tales) – Matt Shaw

Jerwood Foundation: 1977-2017, 40 Years Supporting the Arts
Jerwood Foundation was established 40 years ago on 2nd March 1977. We are delighted to celebrate this significant anniversary today.
John Jerwood started his working life in the family jewellery business in Hatton Garden, London, after financial constraints meant he was unable to take up his place at Jesus College Cambridge. He won the Military Cross whilst serving in Italy during the Second World War. After demobilisation in 1947 he decided in 1948 to move to Japan and established a new business in Tokyo which was to become one of the largest dealerships of cultured pearls in the world.
As the success of his business grew he started to support education with individual benefactions before deciding to secure and extend these by establishing a foundation in 1977. To do this he enlisted the help of his long-term legal advisor and friend Alan Grieve. The Jerwood Foundation prospered and after Jerwood's death in 1991 Alan became Chairman of the Jerwood Foundation and is now the Chairman of the Jerwood family of trusts and organisations.
Jerwood is now a family of registered charities and not-for-profit organisations: Jerwood Foundation, Jerwood Charitable Foundation, Jerwood Space and Jerwood Gallery.

We are delighted to announce that with great generosity Chantal Joffe has donated two paintings, Esme by the Railings, 2014 and Pinky, 2014 to the Jerwood Collection. They are an exciting addition that strengthens the link between the Jerwood Collection and Jerwood Gallery's contemporary programme.
In spring 2015 Chantal Joffe's strong connection with Hastings and St Leonards was celebrated in a major solo exhibition of her powerful portraits at Jerwood Gallery, co-curated by Rose Wylie RA. Working from photographs and almost always depicting women and girls Joffe challenges what our expectations of what a feminist art might be.

To celebrate the gallery's 5th birthday on 17th March 2017 Room 3 has been hung with Jerwood Collection works chosen by the public through an open call. During December 2016 and January 2017 we invited people to submit their favourite works from the collection together with the reason for their choice. Selected works that could not be shown are on view on the television outside the cafe. Thank you to everyone who submitted their choices and gave kindly given permission for their feedback to be displayed.
Look Back Now: Jerwood Gallery is 5 in Room 4 from 15th March celebrates works that have either inspired exhibitions at the gallery or have been included in exhibitions and subsequently acquired for the Jerwood Collection. A one room In Focus display of works by the Surrealist painter Eileen Agar also opens on that day.
On 17 March 2012 the Mayor of Hastings, Councillor Kim Forward and the leader of the Council, the late Councillor Jeremy Birch along with Jerwood Foundation Chairman Alan Grieve opened Jerwood Gallery to the public. Sir John Tusa and Sir Nicholas Serota also presided over opening events. The award-winning gallery building was designed by HAT projects to complement its unique surroundings on Hastings' historic working fishing beach.
Since then the gallery, led by Director Liz Gilmore, continues to show an exciting programme of contemporary exhibitions which bring the best of current British painting to Hastings and also showcases the alive and growing Jerwood Collection of Modern and Contemporary British Art. Five years have also brought memorable events; from a naked flashmob on Hastings beach, gallery guests mischievously (but permanently) tattooed with designs by Jake and Dinos Chapman and collectors coming from far and wide bringing their John Bratby paintings to be considered for a crowd-sourced exhibition.

We've all watched the show in complete awe and wonder. The shopper pushes their four loaded-down carts of groceries to the cashier and the ringing up begins; $20.00, $130.00, $650.00. Luckily, the shopper has come equipped with a binder full of coupons and the grand total is…$4.74. I'm usually left speechless for several reasons:
- Where are they going to put all that stuff?
- How much time did it take to prepare for that one shopping trip?
- Did they seriously need 100 Hershey bars?
According to the show, Extreme Couponing, the shopper featured spends an average of 35-40 hours per week preparing for one shopping trip. That's a full-time job's worth of buying newspapers, printing online coupons, cutting, organizing and mapping out a plan of attack at the local grocery store. Some may view this as complete obsession while others see it as a way to make ends meet. But, is this type of couponing always worth it?
Time. This may be viewed as the biggest downfall to extreme couponing. Scouting newspapers, magazines, and online ads, then organizing it all is critical to making an extreme shopping trip work. For many of us who work full-time, these are discretionary hours that we just don't have.
Space. In order to support these large grocery trips, you need to have the available storage space to keep and organize all your purchases. Preferably, this needs to be a pest-free, dry, climate-controlled room so your bounty is not spoiled by humidity or insects.
Expiration Dates. From a food safety perspective, this one worries me. When you see what appears to be a warehouse full of cereal, crackers, cookies, granola bars and condiments, you can't help but think "how can they possibly eat all that food before it expires?" Expiration dates do not apply exclusively to foods. Medications like Tylenol can become toxic if consumed after its expiration date. A good method to practice is the FIFO inventory principle-First In First Out. Remember to pull older items forward when restocking a similar item.
Nutritional Value. This is my biggest concern with most of the featured individuals' purchases on the show. Saving hundreds of dollars on a shopping trip is definitely a commendable feat; but what will the shopper pay nutritionally? Loading up on sugary-sweetened cereal, candy bars, chips and soda comes with a hefty calorie bill. Consuming these foods on a daily basis (which you would have to do so they don't spoil, right?) indicates a diet that is low in fiber, B-vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
I know what you're thinking, "But Amanda, fruits and vegetables are so expensive!" I'm here to tell you, that is not always the case. First and foremost, sign up for your local grocery store's rewards program. Often, you are only eligible for the sale prices or "deals of the week" if you have a rewards card membership. You also are entitled to store-specific coupons with many of these rewards programs. A friend of mine told me about the mPerks programs at Mejier and how she saves all the time on grocery items, meat and produce. Did you hear that? PRODUCE! Each week I log on and virtually "clip" coupons that get automatically added to my account. When checking out, I simply punch in my code and just like magic, my grocery bill goes down.
Buying fruits and vegetables in season is another excellent way to save. For a complete list of what's in season this summer, please visit: http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/whats-in-season-summer. Shopping at your local Farmers' Market is another great approach to purchasing fresh produce in season. In fact, Illinois Products Farmers' Market sponsored by Springfield Clinic is providing opportunities to earn free "market bucks" for the Illinois Products Farmers' Market. Each week a new recipe is handed out at the Springfield Clinic booth. Individuals are encouraged to make the recipe and then take a picture of the finished product. Market bucks can be earned by posting the recipe photo to the Springfield Clinic Facebook page. Come join us each Thursday from 4:00-7:00pm at the Illinois State Fair Grounds-Commodities Pavilion.
My intent of this post was not to bash extreme couponing but rather to highlight some of the pitfalls of the experience. I think it's wise to stock up on items like Ziploc bags, diapers, or cleaning supplies, but there's no real "savings" to experience with mass quantities of chips or soft drinks.

Mort Zuckerman : Former Montrealer Real Estate MogulMort Zuckerman Who: Real estate developer Mortimer B. Zuckerman is the chairman of Boston Properties, one of the largest real estate developers in the United States, and the owner of U.S. News & World Report and the New York Daily News. Backstory: The son of a Montreal tobacco and candy wholesaler who passed away when Zuckerman was 17, the future real estate mogul headed off to college at McGill at age 16, then moved to the U.S. in the late '50s to attend business school at Wharton and law school at Harvard. After briefly enrolling in a PhD program, he turned to real estate, taking a job at a Boston-based development firm called Cabot, Cabot & Forbes at a starting salary $8,750. Zuckerman soon became one of the firm's young stars; he proved himself to be a pretty brash operator a few years later when he struck out on his own and teamed up with Ed Linde to form Boston Properties: Zuckerman immediately filed suit against his former employer over his ownership interest in a property he developed and ended up collecting a $5 million, which he used to make some of his first real estate deals. In the early '70s, Zuckerman and Linde began developing office buildings on the outskirts of Boston; they later moved into Boston proper and expanded to other cities during the '80s. By the middle part of the decade, Boston Properties had assembled 50 properties in its portfolio, 10 million square feet of real estate in Washington, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. It was during the company's growth spurt that Zuckerman started making his first investments in media, acquiring a small local newspaper chain in New England in the mid-'70s, The Atlantic in 1980, and U.S. News & World Report four years later. He purchased the Daily News in 1992. Of note: Zuckerman continues to serve as chairman of Boston Properties, and today the publicly-traded real-estate investment trust controls more than 100 commercial properties across the country. In New York, Boston Property's portfolio includes 599 Lexington (where Zuckerman's own 18th floor office is located) and 7 Times Square, which was built in 2004. But while there's little question Zuckerman has been enormously successful in the real estate game, his media track record is mixed. The Daily News squeezes out a small profit, but its battle with the Post has been bloody and painful, and U.S. News has been losing money for years and never managed to close the gap with larger rivals like Time and Newsweek. Zuckerman did extraordinarily well with his purchase of Fast Company—he unloaded it at the height of the dotcom boom for $350 million—but other media forays haven't panned out. In 2003, Zuckerman put in a bid for New York, ultimately losing out to Bruce Wasserstein; his investment in Radar lost him a good sum of money; and more recently, his effort to purchase Newsday never came to fruition when Cablevision's Jim Dolan snagged it instead. Keeping score: Zuckerman is worth $2.8 billion according to Forbes. On the job: Zuckerman isn't the sort of developer who spends his days on construction sites wearing a hard hat. Owning media outlets generates the sort of political and social currency that gives him entrée to the Washington political establishment and lands him an occasional seat on Sunday morning political talk shows. And he actively exercises his political influence as the "editor-in-chief" of U.S. News and owner of the News. While he isn't exactly sitting at his desk proofreading copy, he has a hand in the editorial direction of the magazine, which, most recently, he's used to take a series of (often cheap) shots at President Obama. Grudge: With the Daily News and the Post at each other's throats, Zuckerman has been a bitter rival of Rupert Murdoch for years. The Daily News questions the Post's circulation numbers. The Post chides "the Daily Snooze" for every misspelling and factual error. The News refers to Page Six as "Page Fix." The Post questions the methodology used to generate U.S. News's college rankings. And on and on. (The one thing they don't do is go after each other personally. Several years ago, PR guru Howard Rubenstein negotiated a pact between the two moguls to keep their private lives out of their respective papers.) He also isn't a fan of Bernie Madoff. After the Ponzi schemer was busted in 2009, Zuckerman revealed his personal foundation lost $25 million that had been entrusted to Madoff. Pet causes: Zuckerman gives to a variety of medical causes and Jewish charitable groups. In 2006, he announced his largest gift yet when he handed a $100 million check to Memorial Sloan-Kettering. His connection to the institution is personal: His daughter, Abigail, suffered from a childhood cancer that was treated at MSK. Personal: A notorious bachelor—the Washington Post once described him as having "dated more women than Italy has had governments"—Zuckerman's been connected to Nora Ephron, Gloria Steinem, Arianna Huffington, Diane von Furstenberg, Patricia Duff, and Marisa Berenson. In 1996, he tied the knot with art curator Marla Prather. (Justice Stephen Breyer officiated.) In 1997, they had a daughter, Abigail, before separating in 2000 and divorcing in 2001. In December of 2008, Zuckerman had a second daughter named Renee Esther. The identity of the mother, though, was not announced. It's believed the child was conceived via a surrogate. Habitat: Zuckerman resides in a triplex penthouse apartment at 950 Fifth Avenue decorated with paintings by Picasso, Rothko, and Matisse and sculptures by Frank Stella.

New York, Nov 1 (IANS) Actress Courteney Cox has opened up about her split with husband David Arquette for the first time and says she is not filing for divorce.
'I don't know what will happen, but this is not like we're getting divorced. This is a separation and I think that takes a lot of courage, whatever is supposed to happen will be the best thing for us,' said Cox.
The 'Friends' star acknowledges that she and her husband of 11 years are no longer on the same page, reports people.com.
'Sometimes you just realise 'Wow, we actually have grown apart,' said Cox.
On Halloween weekend, Cox leaned on her 'Friends' co-star Jennifer Aniston.
'We just have fun, we laugh, we're inseparable and it's great, it's funny, a lot of really close friends are kind of going through this right now or like Jennifer who has gone through it. I don't know what's going on in the planets or what, but things are being shaken up and I don't know what's going to happen, but, yeah, Jennifer has been amazing for sure,' she said.

This game differs greatly from my Asteroids Deluxe restoration in that someone started sanding over the old artwork. Well, I heat gunned that shit off. However, sanding over the old stuff would have worked just fine I think, it was fairly smooth when I bought it. I couldn't get all of the old vinyl off because it was sanded so thin it wouldn't want to peel off. Now, some of this came off when I was sanding it down after heat gunning it, but some of it remained. In the end, it came out very smooth.
For a base coat I used Kilz white primer oil base, and a top coat of latex matte black paint.
Two coats of primer, Two coats of paint.
I made a noob mistake on the first coat of primer and put it on way too thick. I had to really sand this down with some rough grit. It was worth it.
In the end the vinyl artwork went on smooth and flat, despite some air bubbles that occurred. I will say I do not like vinyl artwork with that protective layer crap on top. It made it a bit more rigid and difficult to know that bubbles were forming. I did not get a single bubble on the Asteroids Deluxe artwork from Pheonix Arcade. Also, there's a noticable difference in the black from the printed artwork and the surrounding area. The printed black is glossy and the outside is matte. Not a huge deal, but noticeable nonetheless.
The primer took a good while to dry. The first coat I left on for about a day. The second coat I let dry for about two days because I couldn't get to it right away. The top coat paint dried very quickly, but I still let it dry overnight before sanding.
In the end it was worth the work, I had the smooth finish needed to get the flat surface desired for the side art.
Kilz Exterior/Interior Oil Based Primer
Behr Interior Flat Black (home depot)
Diablo 60 grit
Warroir 150 Grit
Mirka 220 Discs
Mirka 320 Discs
Mirka 400 Discs
All sanding was done with a 5″ variable orbital sander:
- 150 grit initial sanding
- 220 grit sanding
- 320 grit sanding
- Primer Coat
- 60 grit sanding
- 150 grit sanding
- 220 grit sanding
- 320 grit sanding
- Primer Coat
- 220 grit sanding
- 320 grit sanding
- 400 grit sanding
- Black latex paint coat
- 220 grit sanding
- 320 grit sanding
- 400 grit sanding
- Black latex paint coat
- 220 grit sanding
- 320 grit sanding
- 400 grit sanding
Sanding process using the orbiter used 2 discs per side, moving left-right. Halfway down, mid control-panel, I switched a new disc on, moving fairly slow on the primer passes and first layer of top coat paint. Once I hit the bottom, I made my way back up, sanding in between the edges of the previous pass. I just kept the same disc on for this upward pass. The final pass, I moved a bit quicker. For the back/middle part, one disc was enough. I did run along the sides of the very top and back before doing left-right to ensure I got the edges.
Be sure to wear a face mask while sanding!
I can't stress this enough. I did not wear one during one pass with the paint and I felt the caked up muck in my nose for a few days afterwards. Yes, I was a mouth breather for those days. I can only imagine what that did to my lungs. I placed a fan behind the cabinet to blow out of the garage so none of this crap would get into the ventilation system of the house (yes, the idiot who designed this house placed the heater/AC unit in the damn garage).
I did try using a 2000 grit wet sanding pass, but it didn't seem to make a huge difference with this matte paint.
Gotta give a big thanks to John's Arcade and his Journey videos. He lets the camera roll to capture everything, helping immensely on filling in the mystery stuff that a noob like me wanted more info on. Be sure to check out the videos in his Journey series for all the wood working, painting and sanding goodness!

February 5th 1953 is a significant date for us here at Retro Sweet; but we're guessing a few of you won't realise why. Well, that's the date children up and down the country rejoiced as sweet rationing came to an end, eight years after the end of the war, and some of our retro favourites were once again available to be manufactured and bought. Bringing us forward to this day to allow us to create the nostalgia that so many people feel towards some of our favourite sweets.
Chocolate and sweets were rationed for over ten years due to wartime shortages, with only 12oz's of sweets a month allowed to be purchased until the rationing was repealed; manufacturers were allocated more sugar to allow them to produce adequate amounts of sweets to meet the demand of the children (and adults alike), finally getting to taste their favourite sweet treats once again! Only 54% of the sugar supplies they had before the war were provided, but sweet manufacturers were once again able to create sweets.
Many children had never tasted liquorice, or had been allowed to let a Flying Saucer melt on their tongue and let the sherbet escape, so often these were the first treats that were sought after.
Liquorice has been a firm favourite amongst children for many years, and it can be created in so many ways. At Retro Sweet, we offer liquorice wheels and liquorice cream rocks to bring these flavours to life once again.
Hard boiled sweets, including pear drops, rosey apples and rhubarb and custard are also just a few that we can name that we know kids were fast to get their hands on after the war ended and rationing slowly but surely came to an end too!
If you're looking to take a trip down memory lane, shop our selection of Retro Sweet's today.

FC Dallas managed to hang on to a 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake on Saturday to advance past their western conference foes to the Western conference finals. Dallas won the first leg 2-1 at Pizza Hut Park a week earlier, and weathered a flurry of attacks and an intense playoff environment to finish the series 3-2 on aggregate. The series essentially mirrored Dallas's season, which saw the hoops consistently earn three points at home and at least a point in away matches.[picappgallerysingle id="10092826″]
During the first fifteen minutes of the match, Real Salt Lake demonstrated why they are the MLS's defending champions as they attacked with fantastic energy and belief that the goals they needed were inevitable. Dangerous interchanges between the Salt Lake midfielders and cutting runs from Fabian Espindola kept the Dallas backline unorganized in the early going. Dallas, whether by choice or not, was forced into a defensive shell, and their chances were limited to counter attacks through the wings.
Despite getting forward in limited numbers, Dallas's counter attacking play always had an element of bite, and it was one of these counterattacking ventures that resulted in the match's first goal.
In the 17th minute, the ball found its way wide to the feet of David Ferreira who sent an early cross in to Brek Shea. The lanky winger used his chest to push the ball into the path of Dax McCarty who finished past Nick Rimando. It was a devastatingly smooth attacking move, and it completely changed the feel of the first half. Dallas never looked dominant in the match, but Salt Lake had momentarily lost the belief that they began the game with.
Still, Salt Lake continued to press the issue, and despite the overall ineffectiveness of Alvaro Saborio at striker, the Dallas backline didn't look invulnerable to giving up an equalizer. Even though the overall play of Jackson Goncalves was positive at right back, the Brazilian looked out of position on several occasions, which only emphasized the need for Heath Pearce to recover from his hamstring injury before the conference final.
In the second half, Dallas looked less intent on pushing forward, and Salt Lake threw more and more into the attack. The play of Daniel Hernandez was absolutely crucial in disrupting the Salt Lake midfield, but it was the effort of Kevin Hartman in the Dallas goal that clearly deserved man of the match honors. In truth, it was only the veteran goal keeper that saved Dallas from an opponent that was clearly the better team on the night.
Throughout the second half, the Salt Lake strikers were able to find spaces in between Ugo Ihemelu and George John, and in the 80th minute, Nat Borchers drifted into one of these gaps to win a header – snapping it towards the far post, where Robbie Findley finished past Hartman.
The goal brought the score to 1-1, but despite the frantic search for a series leveling goal, the Dallas backline managed to seal the 3-2 victory on aggregate.
Now, with the conference final looming, Dallas has shown the skeptics through this series against the defending champions that not only are they capable of winning, but that they're going to be tough to beat.

Leeds plays host to a festival of running over the weekend of July 8th and 9th when thousands of runners of all ages pull on their trainers for two top charity road runs.
A number of roads in the city will be closed or have restricted access over the two days to ensure the safety of all those taking part.
The fun gets underway on Saturday 8th July when hundreds of children will line up for the free Arena Group Leeds Mini and Junior Run at Leeds Dock, many of them raising money for Winston's Wish, a charity which supports children, young people and their families after the death of a parent or sibling.
The event starts at 10am, and road closures will be in place around the Dock area from around 9.30am to 11.30am. Roads that will be closed are Armouries Drive, Clarence Road, Sayner Lane, Carlisle Road, Chadwick Street South and Chadwick Street. Parking will be suspended from Friday 8th July at 6pm to Saturday 9th July until 11.30am on Armouries Drive, Clarence Road and Sayner Lane.
The following day it's the turn of the adults when thousands of runners will hit the streets for the 11th running of the Asda Foundation Leeds 10K, which starts at 9.30am.
Closures in the city centre will begin from 4am. A number of other roads around the 10km route will also be affected or have access restricted. The roads will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so.
Roads affected by the closures include: Abbey Road, Great George Street, Calverley Street, Cookridge Street, Vicar Lane, Call Lane, Wellington Street, Kirkstall Road, West Street and The Headrow.
Starting at the top of the Vicar Lane – opposite the Grand Arcade, the route takes competitors towards Call Lane and Sovereign Street, along Wellington Street and out along Kirkstall Road. Runners will turn and return into town back along Kirkstall Road and continue into the city to finish outside Leeds Town Hall on The Headrow.
Both events are organised by Jane Tomlinson's Run For All and are part of the legacy of the late inspirational Jane Tomlinson CBE.
Tristan Batley-Kyle, Run For All Course Director, said: "We do try very hard to keep any closures to a minimum but, inevitably, some are necessary for the safety of the participants and spectators. We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused and would like to thank people in advance for their patience and support."
People taking part in the event are encouraged to support one of the official partner charities or select to fundraise for a cause of their own choice.
In 2017 the official partner charities are Jane Tomlinson Appeal, Macmillan Cancer Support, The Haven, Mencap Leeds, Sue Ryder, Martin House Children's Hospice, Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, St George's Crypt, Leeds Children's Hospital Appeal and Brain Tumour Research and Support.

There is a new literary biography of the 17th century Christian poet George Herbert. It's entitled Music at Midnight: The Life and Poetry of George Herbert, by John Drury. The book pays close attention to Herbert's Christian faith and to close readings of his poetry. That Herbert's stock is going up is evident in the enthusiastic reviews the book is getting. After the jump, a link to one in the Washington Post and excerpts from others. (I wrote my dissertation and published my first book on Herbert.)
See Michael Dirda, Book review: 'Music at Midnight: The Life and Poetry of George Herbert,' by John Drury – The Washington Post.
From the Amazon reviews:
From Booklist
*Starred Review* The greatest religious poet in the English language, George Herbert (1593–1633) was a scion of powerful Anglo-Welsh aristocrats who elected, eventually, to be a country parson. Given the finest of educations at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, he emerged as one of the foremost Latinists of his time and, still under 30, University Orator, a stepping-stone to lofty diplomatic posts. He became disillusioned, however, and resigned, took holy orders, and concluded his days as rector of little Bemerton in south central England. All along, he wrote poetry in Latin as well as English. The year after his death, the English poems were published as The Temple, one of the most successful and influential books of the seventeenth century. To relate Herbert's life, Drury constantly draws on his poetry in what is as much a work of literary analysis as biography. Fortunately, Herbert's poems, full of common knowledge, not aristocratic or scholarly sophistication, and whose core terms and references are biblical, yield plenty of intimate, real-life information. Once one knows the Christian matrix of Herbert's writing, his poems are startlingly, affectingly clear, and one can attend to their great though always humble wit, their limpid and cleanly moving music. Drury gives us that knowledge in this engrossing and restorative book. –Ray Olson

- Prerna Arora had allegedly taken money from multiple investors
- She was arrested Friday and has been remanded in custody till December 10
- She allegedly duped film-maker Vashu Bhagnani of Rs 32 crore
The Economics Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police arrested Bollywood producer Prerna Arora for allegedly cheating film-maker Vashu Bhagnani of a sum of Rs 32 crore, a senior official said Saturday.
According to the official, Ms Arora had taken money from Vashu Bhagnani's firm Pooja Entertainment for exclusive rights of a film.
The official said that Ms Arora had, similarly, taken money from multiple investors promising each of them exclusive rights to the same film.
None of these investors was told about the other leading to breach in contract, the Mumbai police official said.
Ms Arora was arrested Friday and has been remanded in EOW custody till December 10, he said.
Mr Bhagnani had earlier claimed he was given parallel rights for films "Fanney Khan" and "Batti Gul Meter Chalu" by Ms Arora's company KriArj Entertainment.
Mr Bhagnani could not be reached for comments on Saturday.
Ms Arora was also embroiled in a court battle with actor-producer John Abraham for the film "Parmanu", and other films like "Kedarnath", "Batti Gul Meter Chalu" and "Fanney Khan".

LSU pulls away from Houston 84-65
BATON ROUGE - Antonio Blakeney scored 23 points and LSU pulled away in the second half for an 84-65 non-conference victory over Houston on Tuesday.
Blakeney, whose fast-break layup with one second remaining gave the Tigers a 39-38 halftime advantage, scored 14 points and grabbed five of his eight rebounds in the second half. Blakeney made a season-high ten field goals.
Blakeney led an 8-0 run which enabled LSU (5-2) to take control of the game early in the second half. Blakeney made two baskets, one a 3-pointer, as the Tigers went ahead 53-42 with 15:50 to play. Houston (5-1) did not trail by fewer than nine points the rest of the way.
LSU shot 50 percent from the field (36-of-72), including 44 percent on 3-pointers (8-of-18).
But, the difference in the game was what happened on the backboards. The Tigers outrebounded the Cougars 46-28. LSU turned 20 offensive rebounds into 23 second-chance points.

Should Fly Guy, Elephant and Piggie, Biscuit and Puppy Mudge make room in the growing field of very beginning readers for Gus? Maybe…
In this third book about Gus (Gus Gets Scared and Gus Makes a Friend, both 2011), newly emergent readers can practice recognizing sight words, playing with inflection and mastering repeated vocabulary all while discovering how this pleasant rhino prepares for a special day. Though the simple sentence structure contains only single-syllable words, the colorful cartoon art cues young readers and cleverly augments the text. Remkiewicz, well known for illustrating the Froggy series, proves from the first page that this is no typical day-at-school title. While the text reads "Gus goes to school," the framed page shows daddy rhino and Gus passing a florist's shop with a huge sign that proclaims "Mom's Day." Tension arises during craft time when Gus and a spunky blue elephant compete for creating the most impressive bead necklace: " 'See my beads!' says Tess. / 'See MY beads!' says Gus. / 'NOW see my beads!' says Tess. / 'Now see MY beads!' says Gus." The page turn reveals an "Oops!" as all but one of Gus's beads spill to the floor. No need to worry—Mom loves it.
This may not have the laugh-out-loud humor or silly sweetness found in many titles of this kind, but Gus has great appeal, and the story provides just the right level of challenges for those just beginning to read. (Early reader. 4-6)

Paolo Chiasera "màn" at Francesca Minini, Milan
In Indo-Germanic languages, 'màn' means to think, know, understand, measure. Starting from the root 'màn', you can build the word 'mente' (mind) and in general all of the words related to the idea of remaining. Thanks to this we think that the mind is a stable and everlasting matter.
An art exhibition is first and foremost a mental vision, a concept that links the works together and attempts to give a meaningful structure to the world through them. It is therefore the visual content of an insight that the artist conveys through the medium of painting, among other means, and its capacity to translate thought. Starting from this observation, Paolo Chiasera suggests extending the range of painting genres to include curatorial practices, translating the content of the exhibition into the code of painting – into an 'Exhibition Painting' – a show that operates within the framework of representation.
Like any exhibition, it includes works by various artists. But, by focusing on the Aristotelic meaning of concept – understood as knowledge of what is identical among a variety of things – it fruitfully sets itself apart from various artistic experiments of Appropriation and Re-appropriation art.
The freedom of expression offered by the mediation of painting is what unshackles the exhibition and its concept from all limitations, so that it can reconstruct itself within the sphere of the canvas as a realm of imagination and emancipation, as a proposition that the viewer's mind is invited to tackle, bringing the experience of the show to completion on its own. Through images, the Exhibition Painting thus seems to take Lawrence Weiner's ideas about the role of the viewer to a radical extreme, combining them with the cognitive explorations of Aby Warburg's Atlas and further complicating the unstable relationship that exists between language and its context, between nature and culture, between similarity and simile.
Istante fermati, sei bello!, Madonna della Scodella and Melancholia are the titles of the three exhibition paintings that have been specially produced for this third solo show of Paolo Chiasera at Francesca Minini.
