My Dog's Got No Nose
A one-man play by Ron Aldridge
Produced by Kick In The Head
Starring Giles Shenton Directed by Simon Downing
Giles Shenton (Old Herbaceous) returns with a "thought provoking" and "cleverly constructed, wonderful piece of theatre" about a man preparing to fulfil his lifelong ambition to be a stand-up comedian, "…puts one in mind of Alan Bennett's Talking Heads".
You join the man as he prepares backstage for his first ever stand up comedy gig. Something he has waited over 30 years for. Find out how he got to this point in his life... but be warned... the man and the performance are not quite what they seem!
"Saw My Dog's Got No Nose yesterday at the Stables Theatre, Great Comp. Can't tell you what an impression Giles Shenton had on my husband and myself. From thinking we had a not very good stand up, to one of the best acted and produced shows we have seen in a long time is an understatement. Please thank Giles on our behalf. He was brilliant and we look forward to seeing him in more shows." Audience feedback
"Giles Shenton held his audience's attention for nearly two hours; their interest or curiosity in the first half and then to have them fully engrossed in the second before a shocked silence when you could hear a pin drop in the auditorium." Alton Herald
"Being billed as a comedy, and the title it has, understates what is a wonderful piece of theatre.....but this one-man performance, brilliantly put over by Giles Shenton, is so much more than that as it all evolves in the second half.....The audience was privileged to be entertained, and have its emotions thoroughly massaged, by such a thought provoking and high quality production." Beccles & Bungay Journal
"Giles Shenton gifts us with another tour de force...catch it while you can!" Surrey Advertiser

"Peter Knight's Gigspanner were amazing... I can only think of a handful of folk musicians world-wide that have the kind of relationship with their instrument that Peter Knight has: Martin Hayes, Enda Scahill, Mike McGoldrick, John McCusker, Martin Simpson.
Many people as they trickled out into the night said that this was one of the best gigs they'd ever been to. I'd agree with that. If you get a quarter of a chance to see them, go - there were people there last night who had travelled many miles to be there. It was well worth every mile"
Mike Harding: Broadcaster/Musician/Writer
Peter Knight's Gigspanner
May 2019 marks the tenth anniversary of the release of the intriguingly named Lipreading the Poet, the debut album by Peter Knight's Gigspanner, which had the distinction of being listed as one of the best 10 Global albums of 2009 by The Wire Magazine.
Described since as one of the "most quietly brilliant sets of musicians in the folk world and beyond" (Folk Radio UK), Gigspanner has stayed true to their quest to take self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and beyond, and with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat, produce richly atmospheric arrangements "with notes seemingly plucked from the stars and rhythms from the equator" (Spiral Earth).
In 2013, Gigspanner's founding member, legendary fiddle player Peter Knight, left Steeleye Span to wholly commit to the trio, and in the process established their reputation as one of the most genuinely ground-breaking forces on the British folk scene, inspiring Maverick magazine to write "Gigspanner are making some of the most beautiful music the genre has to offer" 5*****

On a mid-September morning three months before his retirement, U.S. Rep. Joe Pitts sits behind his desk in his cozy Capitol Hill office and reads from a Washington newspaper with his face on the front page.
Nearing the end of a 44-year career in state and national politics, it's the first time he's appeared in print in quite this way.
His headshot is on the bottom of the page, looking almost like the 77-year-old Republican is gazing upward at the one massive photo showing the subject of the day's main story: the Lancaster County Democrat hoping to capitalize on his decision not to seek reelection.
In his office lined with densely blue carpet and walls decorated partly by his own paintings, Pitts doesn't seem to pay the story much mind at all — he's confident.
Joe Pitts — with 24 years legislating in the state House and 20 years in the U.S. House, adept at communicating with everyone from world leaders to high school students, with artistic gifts and politician skills — is widely regarded as something of a Renaissance man.
His colleagues both Republican and Democrat respect him. His former staffers run out of compliments.
What makes him such a rare political breed, they say, is his humble nature — eschewing media attention and credit for his work in an age when politicians are addicted to the spotlight.
"He just sort of defied the typical rules of politics," said Gabe Neville, Pitts' first congressional campaign manager who then served as one of his closest aides for almost 20 years. "He got to the very top of America's political system without being a self promoter, without working the political networks, without schmoozing and telling people what they wanted to hear."
The new class of politicians may be soaking up the headlines these days, but that's fine with Joe Pitts.
He never wanted them anyway.
A veteran congressman
It's a sunny summer day in D.C., and Pitts is walking briskly down the windowless corridor in the catacombs of Capitol Hill.
He's in a dark blue suit with a white shirt, black-and-blue-striped tie and laceless brown shoes. His full head of hair, snow-white and combed over to perfection is just as it was the day he first showed up in Washington as a 57-year-old freshman in 1997.
His brow just barely begins to sweat, but the septuagenarian keeps his composure as he hustles through the underground tunnel from his office building to where he's scheduled to lead a 10 a.m. hearing on the Affordable Care Act.
"I wanted to get as far away from the Capitol as possible, to walk back and forth. It's the only exercise I get every day," said Pitts, who chose his current office for its high ceilings, an old chandelier and its location on the expansive capitol complex.
RELATED: 5 things you didn't know about 44-year political veteran Congressman Joe Pitts
It's a particularly contentious hearing, one held by the Energy and Commerce Committee's Health Subcommittee, which he's chaired since 2011 after eight years as a member.
The room is full with about 20 congressmen and women and their many staffers. Republicans on Pitts' right side argue against President Obama's signature health care reform while Democrats on his left argue for it. A Colorado Democrat pulls out a newspaper more than two-thirds into the three-hour hearing while she waits for her turn to speak.
"No, I'm used to it," Pitts said when asked whether it's frustrating to continue to preside over these hearings after years of litigating the healthcare law. "It's a process designed to be slow … you persevere."
Pitts has spent six years fighting Obamacare, which President-elect Donald Trump has promised to repeal.
But Pitts won't be in Washington to see that legislative watershed, if and when it happens.
A few months after this September hearing, just weeks before his last days in Congress, Pitts sits for an interview in his Kennett Square district office. He's leaving at an interesting time — when the White House and both chambers of Congress will be Republican-held, and his longtime friend Mike Pence is assuming the vice presidency.
The pair spent 12 years together in the House, and they've spoken a few times since Election Day.
"I don't know if he's going to want me to be involved in any way or not," Pitts said of his now open prospects. "I would not want a job, but if I can help in advice, counsel, that's what I would be interested in."
For now, he's at peace with his decision to hang up his boots after a long and adventurous career.
A congressman in the making
Pitts, who raised more than $1 million for each of his final re-election campaigns in Congress, started his first state House campaign in 1971 with a mere $8.
That bought him two 2-by-4s. He painted signs on each and bolted them down alongside a road in his Chester County state House district. On one, he painted, "Elect Pitts April 25" with an elephant. The other, about 100 yards down the road, read, "Stop here, meet Pitts," where he would stand and wave to drivers before and after school.
"They would even see me in the rain and I guess they concluded, you know, 'Dumb guy wants it that bad, I'll vote for him," Pitts laughed.
The only political experience the then-schoolteacher had on his resume was some volunteer time on a few local campaigns. But his diverse background at age 33 likely appealed to voters.
Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Pitts' father shipped his mother, himself and his two sisters, to live in the Philippines when Pitts was 8 years old.
Dad was a chaplain in the Army under General Douglas MacArthur in World War II. After the war, he moved the family to the war-torn southeast Asian island so both he and Pitts' mother could work as missionaries, which they would continue to do into the 1970's.
Pitts graduated from high school there, moving back to attend Asbury
College in Kentucky. That's where he met his wife Virginia, both of whom went on to teach in Kentucky public schools.
But after starting a family, Ginny focussing on being a mother and one meager $3,2
50 teacher's salary, Pitts made a decision: enlist.
He became an Air Force officer, flying B-52s, spending half the year on alert with nuclear weapons at a Massachusetts military base. Three tours of Vietnam, 116 combat missions and five and a half years later, he had three kids now — including a 14-month
old son.
Ginny met Pitts on the airfield "and he smiled and turned away. He was afraid of me," Pitts said of his young son. "So I said, 'That's it. Three kids who don't know their dad. I'm getting out.'"
The Pitts family moved to Kennett Square, where Ginny had grown up, and where he went to work building the home they still live in today.
After a stint in teaching math and science at Great Valley High School in Malvern, Chester County, he was recruited for the 158th Legislative District seat based in the Kennett Square area.
When he won by a mere 16 votes, he said it energized his volunteer base and there was no looking back after that.
In Harrisburg
In the state House, Pitts admits he had no idea what he was about to experience.
"I drove my little Volkswagen up to Harrisburg and there's this whole parking lot full of Cadillacs and I thought, 'What am I getting into here,'" he recalled with a laugh.
Soon, Pitts grew accustomed to Harrisburg's ways, eventually rising to one of the most powerful positions in the Legislature: majority chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
"I tell people in Washington that is like being the Bud
get Committee chairman, the Ways and Means Committee chairman and the Appropriations Committee chairman all at the same time," said Neville, his longtime top aide. "Joe Pitts controlled the money."
In Harrisburg, Pitts also began a trend that would continue throughout his career — one of taking up projects outside his job description.
In 1980, he started the Keystone State Games — Pennsylvania's largest annual multi-sport competitions.
A committed history buff, he chaired a legislative committee in 1981 to celebrate the commonwealth's 300th birthday and the 75th anniversary of the current Capitol building. In 1987, he similarly initiated and led a bicentennial celebration of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
Keeping up with the theme, he wrote and passed legislation to form the Capitol Preservation Committee, which he oversaw for its first 15 years. It's mission is to restore and protect everything from the iconic building's dome and embellishments, to the paintings and ornamental clocks that fill its nearly 500,000 square-footage space.
While his name remains out of the history books for many of these efforts, Pitts was also instrumental in reforming Pennsylvania's home schooling laws in the 1980's.
"I probably learned a masters degree in government within two months working for Joe Pitts because he understood the role of a legislator and a committee chairman and he knew how to get things done." - Kevin Harley
Pitts gave homeschoolers "recognition, gave them credibility and was their legislative champion," said Kevin Harley, whose first job out of college in 1987 was working as a research analyst in Pitts' office when he was chairman of the state's Labor Relations Committee.
Harley, now managing director of Harrisburg-based Quantum Communications, said Pitts was one of the most principled and genuine members of the House — and a fantastic boss.
"I probably learned a masters degree in government within two months working for Joe Pitts because he understood the role of a legislator and a committee chairman and he knew how to get things done," Harley said.
Running for Congress
Watching Congress from afar, Pitts always had his eyes set on his next state House run.
He never expected the U.S. House to become majority Republican in his lifetime. But then came 1994, when a swing of seats left the GOP with its first majority in 40 years, and Pitts thought to himself, "man, it would be fun."
He jumped at the opportunity when 20-year veteran Republican Bob Walker unexpectedly announced his retirement from the 16th district seat at age 53. Newspaper records show a flurry of 20 interested candidates — Pitts was the very last name in one story, a footnote.
Still, he was the first to declare his candidacy, and went on to defeat five Republicans in the primary and win the general election by a 22-point margin. He promised not to hike taxes, to help balance the federal budget and to bring in funding for the district's dated highways.
He also vowed to stay only for a maximum of five terms — something he regrets now, because of the rift it caused when he decided to break the promise.
Nearly two decades exactly before Smucker would bring current House Speaker Paul Ryan to fundraise for him in the district, it was Pitts who got visits from then-House Whip Tom DeLay and then-House Majority Leader Dick Armey.
Neville, who started as his campaign manager, said the "secret strategy" was Pitts' reputation and longtime relationships with both Chester and Lancaster county folks.
Franklin & Marshall College political observer G. Terry Madonna sees some of Pitts' continued success like this: "Even though he's a Chester County guy, he's kind of a low-key Lancaster County guy ... His demeanor is less strident. I always thought that was historically the low-key approach that played well in Lancaster."
Incoming congressman
Striving to go from the state Appropriations Committee to the congressional Appropriations Committee, Pitts instead was placed for his first few terms on the Budget Committee.
Then-U.S. Rep. John Kasich, the current governor of Ohio who Pitts originally supported for president this year, was leading the budget process at the time, and Pitts is still proud to have worked with him, and President Bill Clinton, to balance it.
He would never make it onto Appropriations — one of the most frustrating moments of his career — but would make it on another top-tier committee, Energy and Commerce.
Also appointed to the International Relations Committee in his third term, Pitts began traveling the world in efforts to build diplomatic relations on behalf of the country, and to advocate for human rights.
This brought him face to face with leaders like Egypt's former President Hosni Mubarak and former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.
In conversations with the Egyptian leader, Pitts says he would ask him to stop the unjust killings and political propaganda in the country's press. When Mubarak would then visit the U.S., "every time I'd go see him. Finally, he'd go like this," Pitts says as he raises his forearm to cover his face. "He knew I was going to bring up an instance when they murdered several Coptic Christians."
In India, Pitts talks of how Prime Minister Narendra Modi knows him from when they went "head to head" over human rights abuses, especially a 2002 religious riot that left 2,000 Muslims dead.
Tony Hall, a former Democratic congressman from Ohio and ambassador who has traveled with Pitts, described his methods as diplomatic.
"He is not bullish or over aggressive. He's just very straightforward," said Hall, a pro-life liberal who had a weekly prayer group with Pitts when they served together. "He lets people know what he's thinking and what our country's all about and what he's all about."
Unlikely diplomat
Pitts wasn't placed on the International Relations Committee until 2001, but took on the guise of a diplomat long before that.
One month before he was first inaugurated in January 1997, he began organizing monthly luncheons with other country's ambassadors living in D.C.
Why would someone brand new to a 435-member body with no foreign relations experience do that?
Pitts said it was to foster good relationships with countries — partly to initiate a healthy foundation for free and fair trade — and help them navigate the bloated bureaucracy of the federal government.
He'd also begun semi-regular roundtables to talk about bigger issues, like a final one he held last week with Indonesian authorities to discuss how they — the largest Muslim nation on the planet — can combat religious extremism, Pitts said.
Pitts has also worked with leaders of Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Philippines.
He even organized an "Ambassador Visit" program that annually brought ambassadors and their families to the district to spend time with American families and businesses.
By raising $8,000 to $10,000, he said he could rent a few Greyhound busses and pay for their meals as they would stay with host families — while ethics rule changes would eventually prevent him from raising the money for it.
"I'll never forget one year the ambassador from Chad, in Africa, was the dean (of the ambassador delegation)," Pitts recalled. "He stood up and said, 'You know, my wife and I have lived here in America for four years but we've never been outside the beltway in Washington or New York City. This is the first time we ever met a real American family, been in a real American home ...'It's changed our view of America.'"
Sometimes, these visits led to opportunities for local businesses.
"It is unusual," Hall, the former U.S. ambassador who has been nominated three times for a Nobel Peace Prize, said of Pitts' work with the ambassadors. "Because a lot of congressmen are thinking about themselves and thinking about getting reelected… He doesn't get any votes from these ambassadors."
"When I was in Pakistan, (I saw) all these crippled people walking on their hands and knees on the ground so I got 2,000 wheelchairs, padded wheelchairs, donated … and you should see the light in their eyes when they get a wheelchair." - Pitts
However, Pitts' extensive ties overseas didn't come without questions over the years.
In 2011, a political donation from seven years earlier raised some eyebrows when the FBI uncovered that Pitts and other House members had received campaign contributions from two men at the heart of an alleged cover plot by the Pakistani government to influence American policy on Kashmir.
Pitts' office at the time denied a relationship between him and one of the men arrested (Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, who pleaded guilty for illegally funnelling money from Pakistan), despite public comments both had previously made praising each-other's work.
U.S. Rep. Joe Pitts, a 44-year political veteran retiring this month, is well-versed in toda…
According to news reports then, Pitts gave away the $4,000 campaign donation to a Lancaster County charity.
And as far as Pitt's humanitarian work reaching beyond the pale of his official diplomatic duties, no country in need was off the table.
On his own effort through fundraising with friends, he has gotten boxes of school supplies to children in Kashmir, wheelchairs to the disabled in Pakistan and Afghanistan, medical equipment all across the Middle East and Asia, and even a donated fire truck that cost $19,000 and years-worth of work to ship it to Mongolia.
"When I was in Pakistan, (I saw) all these crippled people walking on their hands and knees on the ground so I got 2,000 wheelchairs, padded wheelchairs, donated … and you should see the light in their eyes when they get a wheelchair," Pitts described.
Staunchly pro-life
Pitts may be best known on the national stage for his staunch pro-life, anti-abortion rights stances.
A devout Evangelical Christian, Pitts was a key player behind the scenes of Pennsylvania's 1990 Abortion Control Act, which added restrictions to women's abortion rights and eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Twenty years later, he found himself at the center of a national debate over whether Obamacare should allow federal funding for health care costs covering abortions.
Former U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, a pro-life Democrat and close friend who co-sponsored the amendment to outlaw such funding with Pitts, remembers the Pennsylvania congressman working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Stupak eventually voted to approve the health care law without the provision, leading to blowback for his role in the narrow passage of the law. He said he felt bad when, after a year of working together, he had to tell Pitts how he would cast his vote.
But their cordial relationship never changed.
"I know Joe Pitts as an individual, not just as a legislator," Stupak said. "When you know a person's heart it's easy to understand where they're coming from."
In fact, Pitts strict belief system — something he and those who have worked closely with him say hasn't wavered a bit in his entire career — could be confused as a result of today's highly polarized factions in government, said F&M's Madonna.
"I know people think he's an ideologue," Madonna said. "It seems to me, he comes to this out of his culture, out of his heritage, out of hs upbringing… Before this big ideologue divide developed, he was more of a traditional conservative."
Others have put it a little differently.
Jeff Sharlet, an investigative journalist, has written two books about a secretive evangelical group of lawmakers called "The Fellowship" that guides religious virtues in Congress.
In one of his books, "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power," Sharlet calls Pitts "an avuncular would-be theocrat who chairs the House" Values Action Team — a group Pitts has chaired for his entire 20 years.
The team, Pitts said, "helps equip their constituencies with up-to-date information on things like life and family and values … traditional values."
When Sharlet visited the county for a book signing in 2010, Pitt's office rejected the idea of the more nefarious accusations.
Pitts' Republican colleagues have largely celebrated his more traditional values.
In May, when honouring the retiring congressman, state party leaders described him as an inspiration for conservatives, and in some ways, a visionary.
"There will come a day when the causes for which Joe has fought will be realized," U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus said as U.S. Rep. Tom Marino and others painted him as an steady warrior fighting for a day in which the country will understand his pro-life views.
Life after Congress
Back in his Kennett Square district office, boxes piled high around him, Pitts seems relaxed as he talks of retirement.
He is prohibited from lobbying foreign governments or ambassadors in any way for a year. After that, he said he'd enjoy working as a special envoy to somewhere abroad.
"I have engaged in central and south Asia so much, I know a lot of the ambassadors," he said. "I could help the administration in hot spots, develop some policies. Maybe that would cool down some areas in that region of the world."
In the meantime, he'll be doing some guest lecturing at his alma mater,, which is opening an academic center in his name next year.
He's also looking forward to seeing more of his teenage grandchildren in Tennessee.
As for how he'll be remembered for his representation, he'll leave that up to his colleagues and constituents — some of whom can call themselves both.
"Joe Pitts is so broadly respected in Congress and Washington. I don't think the people in the district have any idea of the impact that he's had," said former U.S. Rep. Bob Walker, a Manheim Township Republican whom Pitts succeeded. "I couldn't be prouder that he was my representative."

Playwright Frank Vickery dies after short illness
Tributes have been paid to playwright Frank Vickery, who has died after a short illness.
He was praised for making "a huge contribution" to theatre in Wales by different groups.
Born in Blaencwm, near Treorchy, in 1951, he started writing while at school and had his first success at 21 with comedy After I'm Gone.
He wrote extensively for theatre, television and radio, building a reputation as a pioneering playwright.
Vickery left Treorchy Comprehensive at 15 to work in a factory and on the buses without taking any exams.
But he described himself as having a "talent and good ear" and got involved in amateur dramatics and writing, saying he "made the best" of what he had.
Vickery said he was not interested in what people said but picking up the "music" and rhythms of how they spoke.
"There's no better thrill than being in the audience of one of my plays - or being in it - and hearing that laughter. It's like a drug," he told a BBC Wales documentary in 2006.
"I don't know how I'm going to survive without it. Everybody has dreams of one day going to live in Spain and enjoying what's left of your life but I'm hoping I've got a lot left.
"I've written 28 plays and I want to write another 28 plays."
He was associated with Treorchy's Park and Dare Theatre and Cardiff's Sherman Theatre before setting up his own production company, Grassroots.
News of his death has been met with a wave of tributes from the Welsh theatrical community.
The Drama Association of Wales said: "It is with much sadness that we have heard today that Frank Vickery passed away this morning after a short illness.
"Frank was one of the best loved playwrights in Wales and an avid supporter of DAW."
Neath Little Theatre described him as "a lovely man and a playwright loved by audiences" who supported it through producing his plays.
The Sherman Theatre tweeted: "It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of much-loved playwright Frank Vickery.
"Through his plays, productions and performances as an actor Frank made a huge contribution to theatre in Wales."

Dating app experiment
And though I rag on the experience of the many, many terrible men on Tinder, I must say theres something special about finding a gem among the dirt. These men are good-looking, educated, and ambitious and generally seem to have their lives together. Length of Use: I used it on and off for about a year, never super heavily, probably went on a few dozen dates, said Kate.
By John Corpuz Jackie Dove Nov. Theyre probably too busy to be on the app, because even though the number of matches is high, the percentage of guys who actually reach out to chat is pretty low. I love that the only one who can start conversations is the girl.The Nuts and Bolts: Location-based dating sounds kind of terrifying, but since dating app experiment Im one of those people who doesnt like to travel for dates ( You live in Brooklyn? The app also pulls your LinkedIn educational and professional backgroundso my profile lists every job Ive had since graduating college and where I went to high school, which is a little odd. . We ended up talking about the new sails he was buying for his boat for 45 minutes, and then he was astonished that I didnt want to go home with him.
The, dating, pool: The app was founded by three Korean-American sisters, so the majority of its users were Asian when I was last on it, which can work for or against you pending your preference. If not, then probably not. Tinder and Bumble are the most popular dating apps for iPhone as nowadays online dating is mainstream everyone is swipe left or right!Finding men on Tinder is like shopping in a vintage store: You have to sift through the piles to find the good stuff. Whatever were looking for in love and however we approach it, Muslim or non-Muslim, were all basically the same. He then asks me where were going. Were still dating, and its been almost three years.
My Dating App Experiment Was Far From Great The Daily Caller
This is indeed a very empowering dating app for women. Shortly after my brothers wedding, my mum told me that I should best free dating websites 2018 consider getting married while Im still young.
Or the Right Now. I answered; "Probably in a newer version of Minder." I was immediately unmatched. Its kind of helpful, I guess, if youre really afraid of rejection and only want to look at people who are interested in you first.If you want to eliminate this 24-hour limitation, you can become a premium member and pay a membership fee. In fact Id been going through the same emotions, the same hope and embarrassment of trying to impress people that everyone goes through.
Best Dating Apps 2018 - Tom s Guide
A match is only dating app experiment valid for 24 hours. Although the mans profile gets 35 matches in one week, he doesnt receive a lot of responses he texts all 35 women, but only 4 of them reply to his messages. The users are carefully vetted, which eliminates the mindless swiping aspect of most apps, which I really like.
My experiment on the infamous dating app, hinge has officially come to an end, and the results are probably what you anticipated they would. So this date starts by him calling and saying hes going to pick me up and take me out (YAS, finally a man dating app experiment with a plan). The Date: I started using The League when I moved to New York, and I went on two to three dates. I was asked what my dating app experiment caste is, got confused and answered, "well, I was cast in Hollyoaks".We created a womans profile and a mans profile. Read their quest to findif not lovethe best free dating apps, and pick one out for yourself. The actual quality of matches were all average, normal, nice guys but a bit on the dull side. I was talking to this guy, and we really clicked; we had the same humor and even the same horoscope sign. If the man doesnt reply to her message in 24 hours, the match disappears. Again, my security instincts have taught me better.
Check out our top dating, hook-up and meet-up apps that will help you find the Right One. In conclusion, Tinder is totally free because it shows you ads once in a while; Bumble is also free if you can check your phone every 2 hours.The Dating Pool: I give it a four out of five on a really good day, but most days its a one. Im not that religious, so I dont use any of the other apps or sites aimed at Jewish singles, but they made it easy to categorize how religious you are so youre not as likely to match with someone who has a vastly different lifestyle. I had to walk to him in heels.

Cruise ship fans will be heading to Hamburg harbor this weekend for the three day Hamburg Cruise Days event. Seven ocean giants will be arriving on Friday, including the "Queen Mary 2".
Hundreds of thousands of guests are expected to attend the event between September 11-13. The festivities kick off with the arrival of the "Costa Neoromantica". Landlubbers can enjoy festivities that include a harbor festival that features art shows, sport, culinary delights and music. They can also find out about vacation trips and career opportunities on board an ocean liner. Fireworks will light up the skies in the evening.
The Hamburg Cruise Days parade will take place the following evening. Fireworks will accompany the departure of three cruise ships as they make their way down the river Elbe, accompanied by a fleet of tug boats.
The absolute highlight will be the arrival of "Queen Mary 2" on Sunday. For the first time she is not going to drop anchor at Hafencity but at the brand new terminal at Steinwerder. A shuttle-service will be at disposal.
Hamburg welcomes some 525,000 cruise ship passengers every year. Seatrade Europe, a top trade fair for the cruise ship industry, will be held in Hamburg for the first time from September 9-11.
The Hamburg Cruise Days were founded in 2008 to promote ocean cruises.

It's been almost a month since Patriarch Kirill of Moscow suspended Eucharistic Communion …
4 Comments
legal or not…. the actions of Bartholomew…has done irreparable damage to the entire Orthodox Church, and has betrayed the Original Church of Christ.by making our church, a tool of war for degenerates in Washington and Kiev…to continue their criminal foreign policy of regime change of the independent countries of the world, and now include the leadership of the Greek Orthodox Church….to make Russia and its people …enemies of Orthodox Christians…. like those of the Neo Nazis in Washington!
To this end ..the Russian government and our Orthodox faithful, and anybody who is associated with their enemy… are criminal collaborators of these deviate fascist!
As Congesswomen Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii…and now Presidential candidate has stated.…
"For too long we have seen religion being used to foment hatred, bigotry and illicit fear and suspicion in people, by those who are trying to pit us against each other for their own political gain".
Just think ..while the Russian Patriarch was blessing Russian soldiers to liberate Orthodox Christians from Sunni Muslim religious jihadist armed and recruited by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar , UAE and the United states and burning down Orthodox churches and murdering their faithfull in Syria, and which the Orthodox Patriarcks of Syria ..pleaded in Washington to stop their support of Terrorists…Bartholomew was silent and blessing these deviates in Washington!
What Schizm?..Only Bart is gone!
And to think, one of them was his Godmother's brother, of all people! He seems to have absolutely "no" shame at all. Perhaps, not even a conscience!
In my most humble opinion, he has been a "total" failure. Especially, here in the U.S.. He couldn't even attempt to shine a candle to our beloved and of blessed memory, His Eminence Archbishop Iakovos. He was a true leader of his flock. Unlike Patriarch Bartholomew!

The U.S. and Canada failed on Friday to reach a final deal on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) despite long discussions this week.
The two nations plan to take up where they left off on Wednesday.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert LighthizerRobert (Bob) Emmet LighthizerTrump says no discussion of extending deadline in Chinese trade talks McConnell urges GOP senators to call Trump about tariffs Companies brace for trade war MORE said the "talks were constructive, and we made progress."
"Our officials are continuing to work toward agreement," Lighthizer said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. notified Capitol Hill on Friday that the 90-day clock is starting on the U.S.-Mexico agreement, with the intent to include Canada before time runs out.
Without Canada, a new NAFTA agreement won't get through Congress.
Getting a deal done within three months would give Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto a chance to sign the agreement at the end of November before leaving office.

Fantastic job! The gentlemen showed up on time and they were efficient. They packed everything very carefully and they made all of my belongings fit in my POD (I had a lot of stuff too). I would definitely use them again!
Requested 2 helpers for 2 hrs but ended up with 3 helpers. This group of nice young people knew exactly what they were doing and didn't waste a single minute! This was our first time hiring someone to load our moving truck for us, and I can say that it was worth every penny! They moved so fast that they actually finished with 1/2 an hour to spare! Fantastic hard workers!!! You wont be disappointed at all!!
Big Steve's movers were extremely professional, on-time, and quick. I highly recommend them! They took great care of our belongings. They worked in the Texas heat and humidity, and they worked hard! I wish we could have brought them along to unload the truck because they were much better than that crew. If you are moving anywhere in the SE Texas area, call these guys first!
Showed up on time. Very professional and polite. I have a very small door and hallway with several turns and they didn't leave any marks on the wall or bang up my furniture. I also hired with less than 24 hours notice with no issues!
Elijah and Mohammad were wonderful! They were punctual and professional and very courteous. They took great care with the handling of our furniture and had a pleasant attitude. I highly recommend them.
On short notice they arrived on time. Both were very pleasant and totally capable. They did they do an excellent job of unloading my 26' truck, in the 2 o'clock Texas heat no less, and never complained. Not only were they professional, they stopped twice to let me know of damages and then took the time to help help me rescue a lizard and a frog that had hitched a ride in the plants. Definitely would use these folks again!
The movers did an excellent job of loading my POD. They were on time, they worked hard, and they loaded my POD quickly even though I lived in a second floor apartment. I would highly recommend this moving company and the great service that they provided.
The men who showed up we're professionals! They had my truck unloaded in just over an hour, and we're very careful with all of my belongings. I would highly recommend!
Were on timevery ready and eager to start job, friendly courteous, caring, worked very hard and steady, they were very respectable to me and my belonging and took extra care for them and me I will and are definitely using them agaiand will definatly will recommend

A proper advertising spot. 30″ long, lean, mean, low budget but with a simple, great idea at its core (Cleracast would bomb it, obviously.)
One of Think Hard's most interesting projects this year.
Working with a small Leith-based design and advertising agency, Nexus 24, we gave the business a fair old overhaul.
You can read their full story here.
They are a great bunch and a pleasure to work with and for.
Why I've joined the Nods team as Vice Chair.
I was a guest at the inaugural Nods Awards last year and was impressed by its enthusiastic rejection of the usual awards puffery.
- No suits ( I wore my daughter's purple hat, inexplicably)
- No drawn out sit-down dinner with expensive wine. (In fact it was a selection of market stalls selling street food in a really cool venue in the Barras called BAAD)
- No two hour ceremony with so many awards you couldn't even begin to work out who had won what. (It was by contrast a little rushed and in need of sharing the work visually more – but it was all done and dusted in half an hour – the criticism was noted and a balance will be struck this year).
- No overblown entry fees or ticket prices
- And, most importantly for me, no profit motive – the proceeds went to the STV Children's Appeal. But this year, and hopefully for the long term, proceeds will go to NABS (Scotland) well that's an obvious choice is it not given that NABS is the creative (Communications) industry's representative charity
This all made the event refreshing, more so when the judges are revealed as global giants, the Chair is a Global Giant herself (MT Rainey) and the organisers are Lux Events and CRAK Marketing, two small businesses wanting to put something back.
Many in our industry have bemoaned media owners using Awards as money-spinning bun fights and whilst I don't wholly subscribe to that point of view there is no doubt this represents a refreshing change.
So year two now approaches, this time the awards ceremony will swap to Edinburgh and the ethos will be identical, although all of the people and organisations categories have been opened up for FREE entry. This makes sense as people feel awkward paying to enter themselves for an award. Instead it will be a Nod of recognition to those that deserve it.
Also we have introduced a craft category – a chance for photographers, illustrators, animators, musicians, film makers to enter for themselves – or for makers in agencies to have a bit of a spotlight shone on them.
I hope the industry will support the awards like they did last year. It's a shop window for the winners both to clients and to prospective staff and the awards themselves are keenly priced.
You can find out more here.
But, please note, the deadline for entries is 23rd November. So get your skates on.
For my designer friends. Ryan Gosling trashes Avatar for using the Papyrus font.
Splendid entertainment.
Is Papyrus as bad as Comic Sans?
Best ad campaign I've seen in a long time. By David, Chicago.
By David of Chicago for Burger King. Absolute simplicity and extraordinarily brave advertising. The award should go to the client, not just the agency.
This. Is London. Greatness from Nike. (Thanks to Wieden and Kennedy.)
London gets its own Nike ad.
We regionistas should hate it 'cos it's Lundin, innit.
But nah; it's just great. The fastest three minutes in advertising you will see in a long time.
What I particularly love about it is that it twists the ULTIMATE regional yarn – the Four Yorkshireman sketch from the 1970's by Monty Python – and makes it relevant to both London and 2018.
Every sport, every exercise, every trope explored with wit and excellent cultural mixing.
Everyone comes out of it well.
Except Peckham.
What's wrong with Peckham?
How to become a creative director for a week.
Studio Something is an agency with a difference.
I'd like to think my own agency, 1576 Advertising Limited, had a similar sure-footedness in its early days but I fear that would be bigging us up too much. The landscape is different now and their advocacy of pure creativity is a harder course to steer in this rocky world of creative algorithms and Big Data than it was in 1994 when your TV screen still contained delights between programmes.
Creativity lies squarely at Studio Something's core (square core? – Ed) which, obviously, appeals to me and they're not afraid to break the rules.
As little babies they surprised the orthodoxy in Scotland by winning the Tennents Lager advertising account and running a multi-execution (online and cinema) animated campaign; a kind of soap opera about the life of Wellpark (site of the Tennents brewery). Part slice of Scottish Life, part League of Gentlemen with dogs, it was a bold experiment that reaped great rewards.
That was the start. Since then they've continued to surprise with interesting work for See Me and Innes and Gunn, amongst others.
And this post caught my eye on Medium this morning.
It's essentially a job ad. An ad for an internship, a creative internship. But they've pulled a great stunt with it. It's not unpaid, it's not minimum wage. It's (for one week only) paying the wage of the average Creative Director in the UK – £45k (or (£865.38) to be precise.
But what makes this unashamed stunt much more interesting is the back story.
I don't know if it's written by Ian or Jordan, but it doesn't matter. It tells the tale of their damascene moment when Gerry Farrell offered them their own first PAID internship at The Leith Agency (or placement which sounds far more bearable) in the face of their impending personal bankruptcy.
It's a minor chin wobbler but it also beautifully illustrates their culture.
Indeed (to brutally capitalise on their creativity for, frankly, my own gain) it's a perfect illustration of EMPLOYER BRANDING, – like we're doing at Inside Out, but with a boldness and joi de vivre that few could match.
You get a strong sense of values, culture and vision without using any of these words. And most of all, if I was a 22 year old creative starting out on this rocky journey I'd want to work there.
£865.38 or otherwise.

Development and initial validation of a short three-dimensional inventory of character strengths
- 543 Downloads

Character strength is described as a positive and organized pattern of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It serves as a schema that organizes categories of information toward the self, others, and the world, and provides the self-aware knowledge that facilitates the pursuit of goals, values, and ethical principles. Recent research has suggested that three reliable factors emerge from the measures of character strengths: caring, inquisitiveness, and self-control. The goal of this paper is to develop a psychometrically sound short measure of character strength.
The questions were addressed in two studies using two independent samples: a cross-cultural (i.e., 518 Asians and 556 Westerners) sample, and a cross-population (i.e., 175 community participants and 171 inpatients) sample in China.
Findings from the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis suggested a cross-cultural three-factor model of character strength that could be measured by the Three-dimensional Inventory of Character Strengths (TICS). A multigroup confirmatory factor analysis further indicated that the number of factors and factor loadings was invariant in the medical and community samples. This result indicated that the brief inventory could be applied to a medical context. Internal reliability, content validity, and predictive validity were good, although the predictive validity of the three character strengths for psychological symptoms in the medical sample was more modest than that in the community sample.
TICS is expected to be used for screening populations at risk, and a tool to aid mental health professionals in group-based treatment/intervention planning. It also should be noted that this short inventory should be used with caution for individual decision making.
