Emmy-winning actor Reg E. Cathey has passed away at the age of 59, possibly from lung cancer. Cathey was born in Huntsville, Alabama on August 18, 1958. He spent much of his childhood in West Germany before returning to America and studying theater at both The University of Michigan and the Yale School of Drama. Cathey's career began on the series Square One, a mathematics based educational children's show. He was the announcer for most of the game shows that were incorporated into the series. He followed with more traditional acting roles, making his film debut as a reporter in the Chevy Chase comedy Funny Farm.
Cathey kept busy through the 90s with roles in the movies What About Bob, The Mask, Clear and Present Danger, and Se7en. He was working just as much on TV, playing a klingon in a later episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and appearing in the made for TV movie And the Band Played On about the early days of the AIDS epidemic. He also appeared on ER and in an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street - as a character he brought back for the Homicide movie two years later. In 2000 he was in the movie American Psycho and following that he was in the movies Pootie Tang and S.W.A.T. Around the same time he wound up doing an eight-episode run on the HBO series Oz. He's also guest starred on three different series in the Law & Order franchise.
In 2006 Cathey was cast as Norman Wilson on The Wire, appearing in 23 episodes over the course of the show's final two seasons. The Wire creator David Simon announced Cathey's death in a heartfelt tweet earlier today.
Reg Cathey, 1958-2018. Not only a fine, masterful actor -- but simply one of the most delightful human beings with whom I ever shared some long days on set. On wit alone, he could double any man over and leave him thinking. Reg, your memory is a great blessing. pic.twitter.com/OHEUbAhTg0
— David Simon (@AoDespair) February 9, 2018
Cathey appeared in several more films after this, including St. Vincent and The Fantastic Four. But the majority of his career remained on television. He followed The Wire with three episodes of Grimm before being cast as restaurant owner Frank on House of Cards. Cathey popped up repeatedly during the first three seasons of the Netflix show and was nominated for the Outstanding Guest Star in a Drama Series Emmy every year he was on the show - winning in 2015.
He continued to guest star on various shows, including The Good Wife, The Blacklist, and Inside Amy Schumer. Cathey's last leading role on a TV series was on the horror series Outcast and his final role was in the Oprah Winfrey-starring TV movie, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. His fans will miss the actor's deep baritone voice and the beautiful intensity he brought to every role he played.
Rest in Peace Reg E. Cathey

Text of Rev. Coyne sermon
The Reverend Christopher Coyne delivered a sermon at a special service ahead of his installation as Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington.
The full text of the speech is below:
My friends, I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am to be here this evening with you as I take possession of this cathedral. I welcome the governmental and civic leaders who are here and thank them for their gracious presence. Please know of my continuing prayers for you and all our civic leaders as you seek to governor in the state of Vermont. I've been told that Vermonters can be somewhat free-spirited and free-thinking. I'm not sure if that's true … oh it is? Well good luck then.
I am especially glad to have joined in prayer with my brothers and sisters within the ecumenical and interfaith community. I am aware that this cathedral is only one of many places of worship within this city, places where prayer and worship are lifted up to God, places where charity is encouraged and enacted, places where the human person reaches for an encounter with the Divine. With the representatives of the Christian churches and communities I join this week in a time of prayer for unity among Christians, praying in the words of Jesus Himself "that all may be one." While there are things that divide us, there are also many things that unite us, most especially our love for the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. To my colleagues in the interfaith community, the shared belief we have in the Divine One and the common mission of care for the poor, sick, and needy in our midst unites us in charity and honors the One that we serve. I pledge myself to work with you on those things about which we agree and speak the Catholic Church's faith to those matters about which we disagree.
I am not a politician. I am a pastor. I am not a policy-maker. I am a preacher and teacher of the Catholic Faith. My desire is to teach what the Church teaches, to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ, and inform the consciences of my fellow Catholics about what we believe and why we believe. While I always seek to foster the common good of all, I recognize that I do so as one within a diverse and multi-faceted culture of which the Catholic Church is only one faith among many.
It seems to me that the reading that we just heard from the Letter of James is quite appropriate for this task. It was not a reading I chose but one that is prescribed for the Feast of Saint Thomas Aguinas, which we Catholics and a number of other Christian communities celebrate today. My hope is to be "wise" in the manner of which James writes: peaceable, rich in sympathy and the kindly deeds that are the fruits of wisdom. I can't make any guarantee about being docile though. It is just not in my nature.
I'm a student of history, having received my doctorate in Sacred Liturgy from the Pontifical Liturgical Institute in Rome. The P.I.L, as it is called, is famous for its use of the historical-critical method for the study of liturgy. One necessarily had to become versed in Church history in order to understand the development and meaning of the Church's liturgical practices. One thing I've learned is that in the encounter between human beings there is often not that much new under the sun. What I mean is when looking for wisdom on how to work together or get along or live in community or any number of interpersonal endeavors, the best place to look is often to the wisdom of the past. So in considering what I might offer for our consideration tonight, my thoughts turned to a writing that is close to our New England heritage. It is the sermon preached by the lay leader John Winthrop in 1630 as the Puritans were preparing to land in what is now Massachusetts. It is entitled "A Model of Christian Unity." I know, I know. This text has often been used, on the one hand, by politicians to support the idea of "American exceptionalism" - that we are a "city on a hill" for all to follow in the great experiment that is America - and on the other hand that Winthrop's intention in the new world was to establish a Puritan theocracy, but I think we can set those concerns aside and consider Winthrop's preaching on unity in love or fraternal charity as a binding force for the establishment of mutual cooperation.
Winthrop preached that the bond of charity among Christians was a necessary part of their community, "as the sinews and other ligaments of a natural body are to the being of that body" and that it was "a divine, spiritual nature" - free, active, strong, courageous and permanent. Winthrop believed that having this "bond of love" for one and other would unite a group of people that would be blessed by God and impact the world (as they knew it) in a positive manner. "Despite the diversity of people, living in mutual charity could unite people of completely different socioeconomic backgrounds to work together and better the world".
I would offer that we can move beyond Winthrop's particularly Christian leitmotif into the broader context of interfaith, even non-religious relationships. It begins, I believe with the golden rule - to do unto others as I would have them do unto me - but then moves beyond a kind of mutual exchange of personal value - "you do for me, I do for you" - to one of charity, meaning seeking the "good' for the other person, and seeking nothing in return. The hope is that the "other" will respond in kind, that my neighbor will seek what is good for me as I seek what is good for him or her.
Today's gospel text from the Common Lectionary gives us the parable of the sower:
A sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path,
and the birds came and ate it up.
Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil.
It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.
And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots.
Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it
and it produced no grain.
And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit.
It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."
I have always considered one interpretation of this text to be an allegory for the works of charity and service. Each of us is the sower who sows good deeds. Some of our deeds are appreciated. Some are simply received by some as their "due." Some don't want or welcome our help at all. But then there are those persons who accept our good act as it is and then become people who also become sowers. But the point is that the sower does not seek anything in return. He or she just sows because it is the right thing to do, because it brings light instead of darkness, because it serves the common good.
All of this engages us in the broader question of what is best for the common good. The golden rule urges me to feed the hungry person because that is what I would want it if I were hungry. An act routed in communal charity and aimed at the common good urges me to look even further, to the roots of and possible solutions to poverty. It is best summed up in the familiar adage, "Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach them to fish and you feed them for a lifetime." My hope and prayer is that we can all work within a unity of charity that probes the deeper questions of how to further both the individual and the common good while seeking only that that good be returned in kind.
Finally, allow me to end my reflections this evening by referring to the last line of the reading from James: "The harvest of justice is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace." It is often difficult for us to agree about how we are to pray together. Different canons, creeds, and confessions can complicate things very quickly. When we try and worship as one, we most often end up with a compromise that leaves no one happy. Yet, I think there is one thing about which we can agree, not so much as to how we are to pray but for what we are to pray: peace - for an end to violence, hatred, and war. If we do nothing else in our common gathering than to pray for peace and pray that we may each be peacemakers in our own way within our own faiths and our own beliefs, then we are doing something of the good, of the divine, of God. I commit myself, once again, to strive to be a "peacemaker," someone who prays for peace, advocates for peace, and seeks to live in peace with his brothers and sisters and I pray that my actions may bring forth a harvest of justice for all God's creatures. May God bless us all in that endeavor.

Jethro Tull will celebrate their 50th anniversary with a massive three-disc compilation, 50 for 50, out May 25th via Parlophone.
Jethro Tull's founder, singer and flautist, Ian Anderson, hand-picked the 50-song track list from the band's 21 studio albums. The three-disc set is loosely arranged in chronological order to capture the band's myriad musical phases. 50 for 50 boasts Jethro Tull's early blues-influenced efforts like Nothing Is Easy and Beggars Farm, hard rock hits like Aqualung and Locomotive Breath, prog classics such as Skating Away and Critique Oblique, plus folk songs like Heavy Horses and Songs From the Wood.
Along with 50 for 50, Jethro Tull will also release 50th Anniversary Hits, a condensed, 15-track collection that will be available on CD and vinyl. The CD version will be released May 25th, alongside 50 for 50, while the vinyl version will arrive August 31st.
Jethro Tull recently kicked off a massive world tour to mark their 50th anniversary. The group has two North American legs planned, the first launching May 30th in Phoenix and wrapping July 7th in Montreal, while the second begins August 31st in Minneapolis and ends September 12th in Wallingford, Connecticut.

I've been reading a lot of letters. It seems all I do these days is read letters.
But here's a letter for you. I wish I could send it to you on the onion-skin I so often find myself reading, the translucent sheets etched with the black ink of a an old Hermes's or Corona Portable's hammer-strikes, the sheet carefully folded into an envelope covered with bright stamps and decorated with a picture of a DC-3 and bold capitals reading "VIA AIR MAIL."
Of course, I can't, but I still want to say hello, because it's been a while (probably) and I miss you (certainly) and connecting beyond the superficial digital zones where we encounter one another. You may know where I've been, but perhaps something will settle on this screen. Letters, whatever their substrate, allow thoughts to steep better than ever-flowing streams of information we feel we must address and process now. Right now. Always now.
So feel free to read this and whatever letters follow at your leisure.

This dog has been adopted, look on our available dogs page for many more looking for a forever home...
Harvey's mum was a stray girl who very cleverly took herself to a nice couple when she was very heavily pregnant. They took her in, cared for her and then her pups too and then asked us to help find them good homes!
They are all beautiful pups, very happy and healthy, they have been well loved. Mum looks like a Vizsla but we have no idea who dad was. Looks like some Spaniel there but can only guess. Harvey was born 1st March 2018. We believe he will grow to medium in size.
He has a beautiful shiny black smooth coat with dark brown highlights to his face and feet. Gorgeous looking pup. He is the shy one of the family! A really very stunning pup. He loved his kisses and cuddles but was not too sure of the camera!
Harvey is good with the other resident dogs, plays beautifully with his siblings and is ok with cats and children too. He will be more comfortable with older children or adults only I think due to his shyness.
Harvey has finished his vaccinations and is ready to travel to his new home.

This application is made' under the act of March 3, 1883, as amended by the act of April 30, 1928, and the invention herein described, if patented, may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment to us of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to equipment for the distribution of insecticides and other spray materials from aircraft, and has among its objects the provision of equipment of this type which is readily mountable and removable and which will direct the flow of spray material downward in an even and uniform manner.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 is a side view of an airplane equipped with a spray unit of the type described, and Figure 2 is a view in prospective showing the venturi assembly and spray nozzles in greater detail.
As illustrated, the spray unit comprises a tank I which is mounted within the fuselage. In an aircraft of the type indicated in the drawing, the tank I is conveniently mounted by attaching it to the rear seat brackets and top rear seat cross member with bolts or clamps. Similar means may be used in other types of aircraft.
The tank I is equipped with a float gauge 2, suitable cover plates (not shown) to allow the tank to be filled, and an outlet valve 3. It is also desirable to arrange a baffle plate (not shown) longitudinally within the tank to keep the spray material from sloshing from side to side while in flight, and to add structural strength. The spray material is drawn from the tank I by a gear pump r which is clamped to the wing struts and is driven by a propeller 5. The pump 4 operates at a pressure of about 70 pounds Spray material is delivered by.this means to nozzles 6 located underneath the airplane in relation to a .venturi 7. The venturi 7 is supported on brackets which are bolted to fittings arranged on the longerons. 4 This method! of mounting allows the venturi 7 "., to be spaced away from the fuselage so that a free air velocity is created above the venturi which results in better distribution of the spray material. The bottom of the venturi 7 is flared downward toward its trailing edge, and the spray nozzles 6 are mounted Just beyond this edge.
The nozzles 6 are preferably of the convex baffle spray type with a very fine orifice. A quickaction shut-off valve 8 is arranged in the venturi 7 to control the flow of spray material to the nozzles 6, and this valve 8 is operated by a control cable 9 which runs to the instrument panel of the aircraft.
Spray equipment of this type has been found to give very satisfactory results. . It can be installed without structural change in aircraft with which it is used, and it can be mounted or removed in a relatively short period of time. The Venturi construction, together with the manner in which the venturl is spaced from the fuselage to provide an overhead free air velocity, directs the spray flow downward in a uniform and even swath, andobviates troublesome collection of the spray on the aircraft. The equipment has been B approved by the Civil Aeronautics Administration and is licensed for N. C. aircraft.
Having, thus described our invention, we claim: An airplane spray unit of the type described comprising, in combination with an airplane, a liquid container positioned witlhn the fuselage of said airplane, a:venturi flared downward at its trailing edge arranged underneath and in spaced relation to the fuselage of said airplane, a plurality of spray nozzles provided at the lower trailing edge of said venturi, liquid conduit means connecting said spray nozzles with sid liquid container, air-driven pumping means mounted externally on said airplane in cooperation with O said liquid conduit means, whereby liquid in said liquid container can be delivered to said spray nozzles, and means for controlling liquid flow through said liquid conduit means.

ConNetica and Strong Smart Solutions are delighted to be nominated as a Finalist in the 2018 Queensland Mental Health Week Achievement Awards - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander category.
The Stronger Smarter Yarns for life suicide prevention program was developed and trialed by ConNetica and Strong Smart Solutions in 2016 and early 2017 and is now being implemented in many communities across Australia. An initial grant of $50,000 from the Queensland Mental Health Commission supported the development work and followed needs analysis with Indigenous educators and communities in 2015.
"We are very proud that our strengths based, early suicide prevention program has achieved this recognition, especially knowing that there was an overwhelming volume of nominations" said MarionWands, Chief Executive of ConNetica.
The Stronger Smarter Yarns for life program was co-developed by leading Indigenous educator Professor Chris Sarra (2016 NAIDOC Person of the Year) and mental health and suicide prevention experts Adjunct Professor John Mendoza (Inaugural Chair National Mental Health Advisory Committee and previous CEO Australian Mental Health Council, ConNetica Director) and Marion Wands (CEO, ConNetica).
The program was piloted with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Bundaberg, Sunshine Coast and Canberra and includes input from Indigenous people with a lived experience of suicide.
"This is a program grounded in Indigenous cultural and based on a strengths based indigenousleadership model. It is uniquely Australian; uniquely Indigenous", said Professor Chris Sarra.
"The other key elements of the approach is that Yarns for life is early suicide prevention, unlike most existing programs which are focused on suicide crises. Secondly, we train local indigenous and non- indigenous people to lead these programs in their own communities providing a sustainable andcontextually relevant approach", said Adj Professor John Mendoza.
The program has been delivered in metropolitan, rural and remote locations including Cherbourg, Goondiwindi, Warwick, Toowoomba, Woorabinda, Rockhampton, Mt Isa, Cairns, Townsville, Bundaberg, Whitsundays, Moranbah, Sunshine Coast, Eastern Melbourne and most recently Derby (Kimberleys) to a cross section of participants, including traditional owners, community members, health and community workers, youth workers, teachers, aged care workers and police liaison officers.
The program has shown significant increases in knowledge, skills and willingness to have yarns with people who are becoming vulnerable or overwhelmed.
As noted by one Cairns participant, Cathy Lee (Youth Empowered Towards Independence), "This is a common-sense approach to suicide prevention, it takes it back to grass roots levels, before the state of the person escalates into a crisis. A common-sense approach that provides practical tools and skills to have a conversation that could be potentially awkward – but now has the potential to assist the person who is distressed to reach a positive and healthy outcome."

About Stronger Smarter Yarns for life
Stronger Smarter Yarns for life is a one-day early suicide prevention course for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The program was developed following a national needs analysis, funded by ACT Health with a $20,000 grant, in 2015, and then designed and trialed in early 2016. Funding for the design and trial was supported with grants from the Qld Mental Health Commission and ACT Health.
The objective of this culturally appropriate, tailorable program is to train local indigenous and non- indigenous people to be READY, WILLING and ABLE to have yarns with people who are becoming vulnerable. So when someone says "I'm NOT OK, or I'M FEELING SLACK", people will know what tosay, how to offer support and where to go if additional support is required.
The program incorporates:
the unique factors contributing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' thoughts of
suicide, alcohol and substance abuse and other detrimental behaviours
a strengths-based approach to community engagement, social support and suicide

Welcome to my first blog... As I've no idea of blog protocols, I hope you can enjoy the naivety of my posts and forgive any blog etiquette faux pa!!
So, after 5 years of studying for my BA, I have now found myself in the exciting but lonely zone of the professional photographer... no more lecturer's guidance, no more class crits, or fellow students to share ideas with, just my own thoughts and opinions ... and can I really trust them?
At this crossroads, leaving full time education behind and embarking on launching my photography business, I thought it might be good to share the ups and downs of my experience, and perhaps create a little diary for me to look fondly on in the future. Till next time...

I created this image using a double exposure technique. I love the days when I have the time to play around with my favourite camera, an old Mamiya RB that I bought on eBay 5 years ago. It's a quirky big beast of a camera, but can produce some very delicate images.

What Others Say About Sandpiper Sport Fishing Charters
Don't take our word for it! Check out what others have to say about their fishing adventures aboard the Sandpiper!
Dear Captain Mike: Just wanted to write you and let you know I have chartered a couple of other boats over the last few years and now with you and your crew the last two times in 2011. I have never had anyone work as hard as you have making sure we had a good time and made sure we all caught fish even when it took longer then the charter was supposed to. I will be recommending your charter service to all my friends and family. Again Thank you to you and your crew and we look forward to fishing this summer. Thank You!
- Robert Stewart & friends
Our September charter on The Sandpiper was wonderful - we boarded the boat as the sun rose on Lake Huron and we saw the Port Austin lighthouse up close and personal! The Sandpiper is equipped with down riggers, radar, video fish finder and LOTS of awesome gear and hundreds of lures. Captain Mike Morgan and crew knows their stuff . . . in 3 1/2 hours we had 14 gorgeous lake trout from 9-14 lbs. Mike shared his recipe for a fish boil - yum! Looking forward to a return visit.
- Mike and Jane from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Captain Mike Morgan has been a fixture in the Port Austin area for over 28 years, his fishing charters are among the top producers in southeast Michigan, the restaurant he operated for many years was exceptional, and his seamless transition into the marine services industry have made him an important part of what makes Port Austin a great summer destination.

I was walking along the Cowley Road toward Oxford's city center when suddenly I noticed, embedded in a stretch of stones I had crossed many times, a circular bronze ingot depicting a woman sign with a fist in the middle.
I stopped and looked quizzically at this marker. There was no legend to explain why it was there or when it had been set. I looked for a clue at the buildings nearby, a non-descript set of terrace houses next to a popular restaurant called the Kazbah, but there was no historical edifice or inscription of any kind.
I later discovered that there are 28 ingot pairs—"pavement jewellery" —along the sidewalks of Cowley, all set by a collective of artists intending to document the history of the community that has lived along the road.
This particular sign is, for me, the most meaningful symbol that remains of the Second Wave feminist movement. Just seeing it there, glinting in the early morning sunlight, evoked a rush of memories that have been formative of my path in life. Like the jagged lightning that emanates from the symbol in the ingot, the sign in my mind radiates outward toward a thousand speeches, articles, conversations, marches, arguments, cheers, and tears from my past. This sign means much to many of my generation. Though some of the associations it carries are negative and some positive, this was without question one of the most powerful symbols of our times.
My moment of noticing the beautiful ingot in the ground was magical. The reason I was staring downward so intently as I walked was that I was working through an argument about the current state of the feminist movement. The symbol interrupted this intense train of thought, presenting itself to me from the familiar pavement like. . . well. . .a sign.
I had been in London the previous day, meeting with the debate teams who are going to argue the question, "This house believes feminism needs rebranding," at Power Shift. Putting together the debate is always the toughest part of designing the event, but this year has been particularly hard.
I had begun months ago with the question I really wanted to hear: "This house believes governments should intervene in the marketplace to equalize competition between women and men." Three people volunteered immediately to argue on behalf of this proposition. But then I spent three months struggling to find three more who would stand for the opposite view.
Now, mind you, the idea that governments should not intervene in markets to show preference for or give protection to disadvantaged groups is orthodox economics. And, in the European Union, it is the law. Yet, as I pounded the virtual pavement from the governments of both the UK and the EU to the journalists at The Economist to the department for economics at Oxford, I could not find a single soul willing to stand up for this core piece of conventional wisdom.
I thought it really very disturbing that people who will otherwise spout this view in a classroom or over dinner as if it came directly from God did not have the courage to defend it in front of an audience who works to help those whom their wisdom disadvantages. I had felt as though I was staring at the dirty toenails of conservative economists' clay feet and it was pretty disgusting.
So, eventually, I gave up. I picked what I thought was a light-hearted alternative that would help us collect material for this year's action step, which is to be a report about whether and how the women's economy should be branded. Again, three people popped right up to argue in favor of the motion: Sue Lawton, an indefatigable leader of the new global effort to identify and empower women-owned businesses, as well as Baroness Lorely Burt and Mike Thornton, both advocates for women and markets within the British political system. Fairly quickly, I also found two who would take up the position that feminism does not, in fact, need rebranding: Susan Rudy, a respected feminist scholar who now heads up the Rhodes Project, and Josh Levs, the brave father who challenged Time Warner's paternity leave policy and author of a new book, All In.
I struggled for weeks to find the sixth and last person for this debate. The Power Shift team was telling me, urgently, to choose someone because we needed to announce the debate in the marketing materials.
I enlisted the help of one of the "opposing" team members, Susan Rudy, and together we explored the (always somewhat odd) territory of academic feminism, looking for someone game to stand up and say, essentially, "Are you kidding? Why would you rebrand the most important social movement of the past two hundred years?"
You would think that's an easy ask. But, as with the clay-footed economists, the reasons for demurring were revelatory. What we learned was that these scholars did not want to engage a debate that phrased the prospect of feminism in the terminology of the market. Implicitly, I think, there was also an unwillingness to appear before an audience trying to work through market means to empower women.
Here the crux of the problem is revealed. Orthodox feminism (and, yes, despite the inevitable protests, there is such a thing) maintains that "the market" is corrupt. Purists will not even share the air with those who think otherwise.
It is true that the most visible success of the Second Wave was the historic rush of women into the formal labor market that came from feminism's challenge to sex-segregated employment, unequal pay, barriers to financial services, and so forth. Economists do agree that a major reason the rich nations are rich is the swell of productivity that came from including women during the second half of the 20th century. And, really, I cannot emphasize enough that the difference in gender equality measures between the developed and developing nations today is due mostly to the fact that the "advanced" nations had successful feminist movements early on. Nevertheless, the firm stance of those who guard feminism's purity is that women and the market must have nothing to do with each other.
After the fierce activity of the 1970s subsided, the movement retreated to the quiet corners of the academy where it took up a doctrine based on an analogy between gender and class inequality and inspired by Marxism. For the next two decades, you could not breathe an argument that questioned feminism's war with capitalism—and you still can't, in those same quiet corners, despite the fact that the analogy to the class war was long ago declared completely inappropriate. (Heidi Hartmann's 1981 "The Unhappy Marriage of Marxism and Feminism" is, for my money, the best critique, but Gayle Rubin's classic "The Traffic in Women" presciently argued in 1975 that the evidence, even then, did not support the idea that capitalism was the cause of women's subordination.)
The anti-market stance became one of the political litmus tests used to determine whether you were a "true" feminist—a "mean girls" parlor game played by too many academic feminists in the late 1980s and 90s. Using quantitative methods was also enough to keep you outside the door to this remarkably exclusionary club. As a result of these prejudices, the Second Wave did not generate a distinctly feminist take on economics despite the focus of their reforms.
Then, about 1995, there arose a new discipline, feminist economics. This breakthrough thinking necessarily erupted from a place entirely outside the women's studies, gender studies, and cultural studies departments that had ring-fenced the movement. Brilliant scholars like Julie Nelson and Jane Humphries, who both were a big hit at Power Shift last year, took on the gender bias of neoclassical economics with astounding success. You can very much see the influence of feminist theory in the first edited book from that movement, Beyond Economic Man. But the influence did not go the other way. Ironically, both bastions that should have been affected by the rise of feminist economics—that is, orthodox economics and orthodox feminism—have remained pretty much in the dark about the very existence of this extraordinary work.
As I walked down Cowley Road that morning, I was feeling pretty grumpy about the blinkered attitude of orthodox feminism. However, I was also disturbed by things said the previous day by lay people, both on the opposite team and on the marketing team helping us with the action step. The general feeling expressed was that feminism needed rebranding because it was ugly and negative and no one wanted to be associated with it. Feminism was said to be "over," very much an antique of the 1970s and no longer relevant. At one point, it was even said that feminism had contributed nothing to the advancement of women!
All the old saws came out. At breakfast, Sue Lawton, a serious activist, had said that feminism was associated with negative things like bra-burning. Susan Rudy, a serious scholar, had retorted that no one had ever burned a bra. This is how that argument invariably goes. (While it remains contested whether anyone burned a bra at the Atlantic City demonstration in 1968, Toronto feminists did burn bras in 1979.)
Speaking purely from a marketing perspective, I have never understood why feminists deny the bra burning. The image perfectly distills the message of the movement into a single dramatic gesture. The attention the alleged incident warranted and the way it has stuck in the popular memory are testament to how brilliant it was (or would have been) as a protest stunt. And, really, forty years later, why would anyone fall on their sword in defense of brassieres? When feminists today are confronted with the bra burning, instead of denying it, they should say, "Yeah, wasn't that great branding?"
But it made my soul sick to hear feminism attacked and to watch Susan Rudy, good sport that she is, gently trying to defend it. I was haunted through the night by the memory of Susan's repeated insistence that feminism is not a brand, but a social movement. It is a refrain I have used myself, many times, to remind feminist theorists that what they are dealing with is not a set of propositions, but a massive real-time push for change. How will the question of the debate, even though it was meant as a bit of cheek, fit into a worldview where the movement, to Susan and her colleagues, as well as to me, is something sacred?
Yet as I stood in that magical moment on Cowley Road, I saw in a flash that the symbol in the stones was in danger of becoming, like so many unlabelled symbols dotting the architecture of this ancient city, the inscrutable icon of a lost history. We must resuscitate this movement before it fades, as it did during the 1950s, completely out of memory.
Should we invent new symbols that reflect feminist consciousness for a new women's movement? Or must we keep muddling along under the musty thinking and insistent orthodoxy of the Second Wave, a movement that was highly effective in its time but that has become purposively disengaged?
This, to my mind, is the question being addressed in the Power Shift debate. We have new information, loads of it, that shows Gayle Rubin was right: gender inequality is everywhere, even in the former communist societies and even in (actually, especially in) places as yet untouched by capitalism. There is a new global movement already working to "empower women economically" and Power Shift is, I am happy to say, becoming one of its main convening events. Yet the old feminists seem to be unwilling to engage with something that could literally change the lives of millions.
Building a self-awareness, a set of symbols, and even a theory for this movement is a necessary next step. In the marketing world, we call that kind of activity "branding." But, really this is just another word for something all successful social movements do—they pitch a tent in a visible place, display their symbols and slogans, so they can recruit adherents, attract resources, and lobby for change. The feminist movement itself has been doing this, in "waves," for 200 years.
There is little to be gained by maligning feminism, in disregard of how important and successful this movement has been in the past. Nor should we walk entirely away from symbols such as the one in the Cowley sidewalk. No rebranding campaign ever abandons its "brand heritage" altogether, nor does it toss out the legacy of the brand's accomplishments (aka, the "brand equity") carelessly. Determining how to create a new agenda, a new "position" for the brand, that will inspire new adherents, but retain old loyalties, is the final test of a rebranding campaign. The question is whether, and how, to do it for feminism now. At the core of this exercise, however, must be the admission that, while the feminist movement has been right about many things, it was profoundly wrong about the power of markets to aid its cause.
The debaters at Power Shift will be joined by their sixth and sparkling member, Amanda Poole. Amanda has been a leader of the Power Shift team since it was only an idea. She is a highly respected marketing expert and, of course, a feminist.
The debate will occur at the Oxford Union on the evening of November 9 and will be presided by Helen Mountfield QC. Further details about the Power Shift program can be found here. If you wish to indicate your interest in being invited, please click here.

What if you could listen in on regular conversations between professionals working in money management?
We created the strategy and built a custom skill for Ritholtz Wealth Management called The Compound Show. After success with Market Moment Flash Briefing in 2018, in 2019 we wanted to expand on the voice marketing strategy to increase Ritholtz's early adopter audio footprint.
As trailblazers in blogging and social media in the finance and investing space, "Downtown" Josh Brown and the Ritholtz Mafia wanted to be early to voice.
Read more about Josh and Barry, the forces behind some of the most popular investing blogs, videos, television, and social media accounts: Josh Brown and Barry Ritholtz: From breakout bloggers to RIA rock stars
Video: Josh and Emily discuss Ritholtz's Alexa skills. Hear why RWM is "kind of a big deal" when it comes to voice in the finance space.
In March 2019, we launched a first-of-its-kind custom voice skill and mini podcast about investing based on The Compound YouTube channel.
Josh Brown explains The Compound Show and how it is disrupting the old (too long) podcast format:
I invented the mini-podcast. All the financial industry and investment-oriented podcasts are an hour long or more. I think that's because the person whose podcast it is feels bad about asking a guest to come on and then cutting them short. Some podcasts should be an hour – Patrick O'Shaugnhnessy interviewing Michael Mauboussin, for example, or Barry Ritholtz interviewing Ray Dalio, or Michael Kitces interviewing Ric Edelman.
But most podcasts are too long and not every guest has an hour-plus worth of stuff you want to hear. However, the format persists. I think it's just something that's become a tradition – to interview each guest for an hour and change – even though that's not what the listener actually needs or wants from every conversation.

Saudi Arabia's friendship comes at a cost — and the cost appears to be rising. Yesterday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir met with Sudanese President Omar al Bashir, during which they discussed Riyadh's concerns over instability in places such as Yemen, the Palestinian territories, Somalia, Libya and Syria. Talks ended with a gift of $5 billion of Saudi military aid that was originally earmarked for Lebanon but was instead given to Sudan. The swift diversion of aid underscores Saudi Arabia's desire to make sure its checkbook diplomacy is yielding the desired results.
During the reign of King Salman, Saudi Arabia has accelerated its efforts to buy allies; the developing U.S.-Iranian relationship last year spooked Saudi Arabia into swifter action in solidifying and identifying its friends in the Middle East. The passage of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action last summer further convinced Saudi Arabia that it was being alienated from once-stalwart partners like the United States and set the stage for geopolitical competition with Iran, its largest regional rival. The diplomatic rift following the Saudi Embassy attacks in Tehran this January only aggravated long-standing economic, military and religious competition between these two Middle Eastern powers.
In response to the perceived threat, Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammad bin Salman has marshaled Sunni allies to Riyadh's side to help the kingdom fight its proxy battles in the region. Allies such as Egypt, Jordan and Sudan are expected to offer military support to Saudi Arabia in exchange for generous Saudi grants, loans and investment. And it appears as though they are meeting those expectations: Saudi Arabia has received verbal support from nearly all the nations in its 34-country anti-terrorism alliance. In fact, more than 20 members of that alliance have participated in Saudi-led military exercises, including "Northern Thunder," the largest exercise of its kind.
But such military games in the desert and the enduring wars in Yemen and Syria have cost the kingdom dearly, as have low oil prices. Saudi Arabia posted its largest budget deficit ever in December ($98 billion), and as the kingdom tries to lower its foreign expenses, it has discovered that some countries are cheaper than others. Riyadh is eager to secure the allies it can afford and cut off those it cannot.
Lebanon is one such country, for its history has made it wary of external influence. In 1976, during the Lebanese civil war, Syria and Iran began to gradually add more Shiite personnel to the Lebanese armed forces, diluting the Maronite Christian influence imposed on Lebanon during the French mandate and leaving Lebanon's armed forces riven with different sects and conflicting loyalties. Hezbollah, the Shiite militant group, emerged from this competition as one of the strongest factions — militarily, economically and politically — in the country. Saudi Arabia became concerned that Hezbollah had grown too powerful, so it pledged to give $4 billion to the Lebanese military in 2014 but only on the condition that Sunni politicians disburse it in such a way as to contain Hezbollah.
But Riyadh may have underestimated Lebanon's reliance on Hezbollah. Indeed, many of the politicians the group supports often oppose Saudi policies. In January, for example, the Lebanese foreign minister refused — quite publicly, in fact — to officially condemn the Saudi Embassy attacks. No amount of Saudi money can weaken Hezbollah's influence when Lebanon is as fractured and weak as it is now.
Sudan, however, is in a much better position to bend to Saudi Arabia's will. The two countries have steadily warmed their relations over the past few years, and through a combination of Saudi, Egyptian and Israeli pressure (and money), Sudan has eased its dependence on Iranian aid. Unencumbered by the kinds of internal struggles that beset Lebanon, Sudan is a willing recipient of Saudi Arabia's money and an eager agent of its bidding. The government in Khartoum expelled Iran's cultural attache — an act Riyadh appears to appreciate — and deployed ground forces to the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
But even though Saudi Arabia made a show of giving Sudan earmarked money, the kingdom can still court Lebanon if it wants to. And it may soon get its chance as the Lebanese prime minister begins his emergency gulf tour. Politics aside, Lebanese leaders know their country desperately needs external aid. But the Saudi leaders know as much, too, and they hope Lebanon's financial difficulties will persuade its leaders to withdraw their support in exchange for Saudi money.
The true test of how much loyalty money can buy will be the Syria coalition. Allies like Pakistan and Egypt have sworn to defend Saudi Arabia in the event it is attacked, but they have been hesitant to commit ground troops to any potential Saudi military operation outside the gulf. As Saudi Arabia tries to gauge its role in the Syria conflict, which now appears as interminable as ever, it wants as many allies like Sudan around as possible, even as it arguably holds unrealistic expectations for Lebanon.

Now his immortal, nearly omnipotent master is gone and Hugh must carve a new place for himself and his people in the post-apocalyptic world where magic comes and goes in waves. With former allies ready to tear him apart, Hugh is forced to make alliances to preserve the Order of Iron Dogs, warriors who would follow him anywhere.
Serafina Price is the head witch of the Midwestern Covens. She is powerful, devious, and smart. Her people think she is a goddess, her enemies call her Snake. Tasked with protection of her people, she is trapped between the magical heavy weights about to collide and plunge the entire region into war that human authorities have no power to stop. Desperate to preserve the covens, she would accept help from the devil himself.
They detest each other, yet they need each other to survive. How can two people famous for betraying their former allies cement their agreement without a shadow of a doubt?
They marry.
We hope you will enjoy this new look into the mind of Hugh d'Ambray. I just got an awesome quote on this from Lorna Sterling, who writes fantastic pirate-themed romances.
"Magnificent! He is a true Romance Hero!"
Lorna Sterling
E of bookpushers would like to add, "Finally we were able to see the full extent of Hugh d'Ambray's passion, not just his skill with a blade. It was well worth the decades long wait!"

While the major-league baseball all-star voting process is ridiculous, with 35 votes possible for each e-mail address that a person controls, it is what it is. But, clearly, with the home team advantage for the World Series going to the winning league, there are going to have to be adjustments made for next season and beyond, after Royals fans made a mockery of the process in the early going.
The fan vote determines the starting lineup, while the player vote decides the second player at each position. If fans and players agree, then the players' second place finisher earns a spot. The fans do not participate in selecting any of the pitchers, while players do. There's plenty of talent out there, so nobody is wrong. That being said, here is my Top 3 at every position in the AL, plus 14 pitchers.
CATCHER: 1-Sal Perez (Royals); 2-Stephen Vogt (A's); 3-Russell Martin (Jays) ... Among the three, Vogt has the best offensive numbers, but Perez and Martin deserve to be there for all-around excellence at handling a staff, plus the ability to contribute with the bat.
1ST-BASE: 1-Miggy Cabrera (Tigers); 2-Albert Pujols (Angels); 3-Prince Fielder (Rangers) ... The eternal No. 1 at first base has to be Cabrera, but Pujols and Fielder have had nice comeback seasons and deserve to be honoured, even though the Rangers' big man has been mostly a DH. Jose Abreu of the White Sox must be considered in that mix.
2ND-BASE: 1-Jose Altuve (Astros); Jason Kipnis (Indians); Dustin Pedroia (Red Sox) ... It's easy to leave Robinson Cano and Ian Kinsler off the All-Star list this year, but Altuve, though he has gone through a mini-slump, is still the poster-boy for the position. Kipnis is having a great season.
3RD-BASE: 1-Josh Donaldson (Jays); Manny Machado (O's); Mike Moustakas (Royals) ... Third base is fairly deep in the AL, but watching Donaldson play every day gives a better appreciation of why he has been in the MVP mix each of his two full seasons. Brett Lawrie is in the Top 6.
SHORTSTOP: Alcides Escobar (Royals); Jose Iglesias (Tigers); Xander Bogaerts (Red Sox) ... These three guys are elite defenders with some solid bat skills, but Escobar was able to show what he can do on the World Series stage a year ago. Iglesias gets the edge on Bogaerts, but it's close.
OUTFIELD: Unit 1-Mike Trout (Angels), Adam Jones (O's), J.D. Martinez (Tigers); Unit 2-Lorenzo Cain (Royals), Jose Bautista (Jays), Brett Gardner (Yanks); Unit 3-George Springer (Astros), Nelson Cruz (M's), Yoenis Cespedes (Tigers) ... The Bautista nod is mostly for his body of work. Cain's nomination is for overall excellence as the best defender in the league. Martinez is having a breakout power season, while Trout is merely the best player in the AL.
ROTATION: 1-Dallas Keuchel (Astros); 2-Sonny Gray (A's); 3-Felix Hernandez (M's); 4-Chris Archer (Rays); 5-Chris Sale (White Sox); 6-David Price (Tigers); 7-Corey Kluber (Indians); 8-Yovani Gallardo (Rangers) ... After a slow start as defending Cy Young winner, Kluber is coming on strong, while Sale is simply dominant, despite his low win total. Archer and Keuchel are breakout stars in 2015, while Price continues to dominate the Twitter world. Gallardo was a nice pickup for Texas.
BULLPEN: 1-Glen Perkins (Twins); 2-Andrew Miller (Yanks); 3-Zach Britton (O's); 4-David Robertson (White Sox); 5-Dellin Betances (Yanks); 6-Koji Uehara (Red Sox); 7-Wade Davis (Royals); 8-Will Harris (Astros) ... There are three setup men included on this team led by the Yankees dominant Betances. It's hard to include him on an all-star team without Miller, since they were in a one-on-one to replace Robertson, who left for the Windy City as a free agent and Miller got the nod from Joe Girardi. What's amazing is how close the Jays' Roberto Osuna is to this group in the important numbers.
THE WEEK THAT WAS (2-1 at Rays; 2-1 vs. Rangers; 41-36 overall)
The Blue Jays have won two straight series for the first time since June 2-14 (four in a row), but are just 7-6 since the end of an 11-game win streak. The Jays have won 18 of the past 24 games. The Jays are now 25-15 at home and 16-21 on the road, including 7-3 in the last 10 away from the Rogers Centre. The Jays during the upcoming Pan-Am Games in Toronto will play 16 of 19 games on the road surrounding the All-Star break. The Jays are 18-7 in the month of June with two games remaining. The club record for wins in June is 19-9 in 1993. During the past 24-games, the Jays have outscored opponents 152-87. The Jays are 24-16 over the past 40 contests since May 16 and on Sunday, won only their third game of the season when scoring three runs or less. The Jays in those 40 games have outscored opponents 227-150, averaging 5.7 runs per game. The Jays have lost 19 of their last 22 games in which they score four runs or fewer and are 5-30 for the season in those low-scoring contests.
The Jays have played 38 of 77 games within the AL East. The Jays are 21-19 outside the AL East. NEXT UP: Boston for four before heading on the road for 10 straight into the break.
STAR OF THE WEEK: CL Roberto Osuna in three games in relief notched two saves of more than an inning (the first saves of his career) and escaped a runner on second two-out threat in Tampa in the bottom of the ninth of a 1-0 win. The 20-year-old Osuna has 35-2/3 innings, with 22 hits, 10 walks and 42 strikeouts.

JOHN GIBBONS has posted a career record of 503-508 in two stints as Blue Jays manager. Gibbons recorded victory No. 500 in the majors on Monday at Tampa Bay. The Jays need 86 wins in 2015 for Gibbons to climb to the .500 mark for his career. His win total is second in franchise history, behind Cito Gaston (913). His losses also rank second to Cito's 851.
On Friday, Prince Fielder slammed his 300th career home run, joining Bobby and Bvarry Bonds as the only father-son combos with 300-plus homers. Following is a list of total home runs by slugging fathers and sons in MLB history.

In a two-part conversation, slated this week and next, we spoke to Felipe Alou as he came to St. Marys (ON) to be inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall-of-Fame. The first conversation traces his arrival in the deep south as a 21-year-old from the Dominican Republic in 1956 to his first year managing the Expos after taking over from Tom Runnells, almost winning the NL East in 1992.
RICHARD GRIFFIN: I always tell people that, personally, you're one of the five men I have admired most in my life.
FELIPE ALOU: I believe it.
RG: And I gained that great respect from hanging around in your office as a p.r. guy those years I was in Montreal, especially before the media would come in, just watching and listening and asking. Could you recall the story about your first trip as a 21-year-old young player arriving in the U.S. deep south and getting off a bus and thinking, 'What am I doing here.'
FA: Yeah, well, when the Giants signed me, the scout that signed me was a former Negro League player from the Dominican Republic, so this guy knew his baseball. He was one of the best shortstops on defence in the Negro Leagues, Mr. (Horacio) Martinez. I guess he told the Giants that I was a very mature young player, especially that I could run and throw and make contact. Because I had managed to play a few games for the University of Santo Domingo and they assigned me to go to Danville in the Carolina League, which was Class B baseball at that time.
During those days they had Class D, C, B and so forth, A, Double-A. Well, to put a young guy from the Dominican in Class B, which was the third level. But because of visa problems, I only arrived in Florida at the spring training site of the Giants in Florida, and there were only two teams left in camp. The Danville team was already playing baseball in the Carolina League. Obviously they were not going to send me there without even practicing one day, so they put me with a team named Lake Charles. Lake Charles was Class-C, upstate Louisiana and that is where the problem started.
I didn't know any of this (racial issues). Also in Danville, I heard there was a little bit of racism there too -- the Carolina League...Carolina. But I didn't know that. I really didn't even know Lake Charles was in Louisiana. I said, oh, Lake Charles. So when I arrived in Lake Charles, I found out it was an ongoing negotiations with the authorities there on whether to allow blacks and white athletes to compete on the same field. So that meant they were not ever competing on the same field. They were trying to break that up, so there was a vote in place and the vote to keep it the same way prevailed.
So I was in Lake Charles for one month waiting for this negotiations to take place. During the negotiations, I managed nine at-bats. I know that there was a (town) where when I came up to pinch-hit, they threw all sorts of stuff on the field, the fans. So after that they didn't play me anymore, so I got 2-for-9, one RBI. I mention that RBI because one day I went down to the Florida State League (Cocoa), I got 99 RBIs. That's the only time I drove in 100 runs – one in Louisiana and 99 in Florida.
But anyway, I found out about racism and how aggressive it was. It was incredible because I grew up in a home where my mom was white and my dad black. So, really I didn't know how to work through all of that problem. So they took me out of that league and they sent me to Florida where there also was racism, but there I was able to play.
RG: I learned that oral history of how difficult it was at that time from listening to you and I saw the same scars with Cito Gaston and the same thing with Hank Aaron and the same thing with all the black athletes that came up in the late '50s and early '60s. And then I would see incidents...
FA: Now.
RG: ...in the '90s with the Expos that nobody would know, but you would take exception and I would know.
FA: Yeah.
RG: I mean, how far has progress come. Has it come far enough.
FA: I'm going to tell you...not only that but I'm married to a white woman and we have children. While my boys look white, completely, and my daughter, who is an attorney down in Florida, you can see that she has some serious black blood. But, anyway, it's come a long way, but it is like the lava coming down from the volcano, that in some areas it's already hit the flatland and in some other area it hasn't done that yet. Some areas have advanced quite a bit (in race relations), because I have experience with that, both in baseball and in private life. I lived through it as a young person.
Because I want to say this. When I came to the U.S. to play ball, I was a college student. I didn't know English, but I was a college student. You understand. I understood a lot of stuff right away, my limitations and where I could go or shouldn't go and all of that. I was not afraid, but you have to...I came to the United States to play baseball, it was not to fight the white or the police, or the rules that they had. I came to play baseball and baseball I did. But still there are areas right now where you can feel it and you can sense it and also areas where you can live it.
I belong to a marina in Florida now. I've been in that marina, I have a boat there. I'm into my third or fourth boat already. I've been there for 22 years. And there have been times where I've been cleaning a fish -- my fish next to my boat, with my Mercedes-Benz nearby. Now here comes a guy with two fish. He said to me, 'Listen, if you clean the two fish for me, I'll give you half of one.' What does that mean? That means that he believes that I work there and clean fish. Not that I own a boat. Not that I have been a member of that marina for over 20 years. You understand, it is always looking down.
To tell you the truth, I don't believe...there was a guy one time, after the marina was closed, we came in and I'm cleaning my own boat and we made sure the boat was going to stand overnight, covered well and everything. And one night one guy came with a woman. Now, he went to his boat and I was finishing the last touches of cleaning my boat and when he turned the key on his boat, he found out he was low in fuel. He came to me and said, 'Do you have a key to the gas (pump)?' I said, no, I don't have a key. We're not supposed to have it. He said, 'Don't you work here?' It is embedded. And I don't say...since that time he has apologized to me a couple of days later. So one day I was doing the same thing. I came in and I had a lot of fish caught that afternoon. I was making sure I had it cleaned and two guys came in. One guy said, 'Listen, we are going to fish in the morning. Do you have time to clean our boat?' I said, no I don't have time. He said, 'Well, we'll pay you whatever.' I said, listen, I'm cleaning my own boat, here. Things like that.
RG: You're one of the great philosophers that can relate any teaching lesson in baseball to fishing or diving. Does that come naturally where everything in baseball has a life lesson to it.
FA: Well, I've got to say, you see fishing and baseball are God first, because I trust God and I know there is one out there. I've got to say this, when the Expos gave me the job to manage, I was fishing. They had to send somebody to Sorel (QC) to get me out of the fishing boat. And when the Giants offered me the job to manage the San Francisco Giants, I was out in the ocean fishing by myself. So it's related, to me. Those two go together, because you have to have a lot of patience to be successful. I had to wait a long time to get a managerial job. I knew I was prepared to, but I used to spend my time fishing and managing minor-league baseball and all of that, getting the two together because the fishing relaxes me quite a bit.
I said this that I believe I was a better manager than player. One of the guys said, how do you explain that. I said, you know why, because it only took me two years to go to the big leagues. I don't believe I was prepared to be a player in the big leagues. But it took me almost 20 years to get prepared to manage in the big leagues. When I arrived there, when they said, you're the manager, I don't know if you remember that. Dan Duquette said, 'Well...
RG: He said they'll have to evaluate you at the end of the season.
FA: And (Journal de Montreal writer) Serge Touchette said, 'How come you have to evaluate him? This guy's been managing.' He said, 'Well, after the season we'll have to see what we are doing with him.' Well when I went up to the office...
RG: I remember.
FA: I said, if evaluation is what's going to keep me here, then I'll be here for a long time.
RG: I remember very well.
FA: And I said that with confidence because, evaluating me? I have self-evaluated so many times. So what happened to the team (after) we got here (in '92). We competed that same year for first place. But anyway, it's kind of tough.

They wait is finally over ladies as they revealed today who will be casted as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the highly anticipate movie 50 Shades of Grey. Most of you will probably be shocked as he does not look like the Christian described in the book, but British actor Charlie Hunnam is your leading man and Dakota Johnson your leading lady (or maybe that is the wrong word...).
The producers chose these up and coming actors to give the film a fresh feel without comparing the famous actor/actress to a previous role they have played.
Personally, (according to what every woman ever has told me). Christian Grey would have been perfectly played by actor Matt Bomer and I think the perfect girl to play the role of Anastasia would be Alexis Bledel with her good girl image.

Heads up! Come check out our new forums, CurlTalk.
I don't know my hair type please help !
4 Answers
Its hard to tell because the curl isn't really defined but since your hair seems pretty thick with big curls you might have 3a or 3b hair
your hair looks like a 3a/b
I thought you had a 2a or 2b, but that may be because your hair is long which may weigh down the curl and, as previously stated, the curls don't seem very defined. Towards the bottom I do think I can see curls, but they're pretty big so I'd say you could go with 3A.
I'd say your hair seems like much like 3B.it fits the basic look and description of 3B that I know.Did you see the "basics" on here or on CurlyNikki's website about how to "curl- type"?Just remember, many of us have a little of one type and a little or a lot of another- so not everyone fits perfectly into a type. For example,I'm mostly 3A/3B but can't tell how much of it, if either, is predominant.But then I have one hunk or lock, at the nape of my neck that's more like 2C maybe even 2B...! it curls up some, but,it looks longer and straighter than the rest and makes my hair look like it has an inch-wide /several inches- long tail!Anyway, for now, if you haven't yet figured it out for certain in your own mind ,go with 3B or 3A/3B like I said I do.
This Q&A section is soo last year... Talk curls at the all new CurlTalk!
