It was a phone call late one snowy winter morning that made me think a lot about Kamloops and culture. The caller was someone I had never met, a medical doctor from across the country who had never seen the city, knew little about it, and was considering taking a job here. He called me—at the time I was chair of Thompson Rivers University's Visual and Performing Arts Department—because he wanted to know about the city's quality of life, especially its culture. Was there a symphony? Was it very good? Was there any professional theatre? Did the city have a decent art gallery? Did the schools actively support the arts for his children? In short, what was the level of cultural vitality in Kamloops?
I remember feeling very keen, even amazing myself, as I started rattling off a list of rave reports on the recent spectacular activities of key players in each of the above named arts. The Kamloops Art Gallery was showing Cities of Canada, The Seagram Collection, forty amazing artworks commissioned by Samuel Bronfman to show off the country's emerging urban growth in the 1950s, by such well-known artists as A.Y. Jackson and Goodridge Roberts, on tour from the McCord Museum in Montreal. The Kamloops Symphony, celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, had just featured no less than Ben Heppner, "the world's leading Wagnerian tenor," in recital, singing songs and operatic arias at the Sagebrush Theatre, while, also at the same venue, Western Canada Theatre, the city's professional theatre company, was in the midst of a robust staging of Molly's Veil, the revelatory play about Charlotte Whitton, Ottawa's flamboyant feminist mayor in the 1950s and 60s. As for the Kamloops' public schools, they had just established the successful Beattie School of the Arts for elementary kids and the School District was planning to open a similar campus for secondary students.
I don't know whether he took the job or not, but I do remember how much this out-of-town person was impressed: my feeling was that if Kamloops' quality of life as expressed in its arts culture was the deciding factor then we got ourselves another good doctor. And I hadn't even begun to enumerate the many non-professional singing and theatre groups, the art galleries, the city museum, the festivals, all very active and lively! One thing is certain: this "small city" that we are studying in our research definitely has an established, even burgeoning, arts scene; we might even ascertain that Kamloops has a respectable degree of something called "cultural vitality," which one study defines as "evidence of creating, disseminating, validating, and supporting arts and culture as a dimension of everyday life in communities" (Jackson 4). Western Canada Theatre, for example, annually entertains audiences numbering well over 20,000—David Ross, the managing director, reporting that he can attract close to 10% of Kamloops's population to his shows, a feat unthinkable in Vancouver.
Are the Arts Good for Us?
But what value does the theatre company—or any arts activity, for that matter—have beyond entertainment? Are there ways in which local arts practices are actually good for Kamloops? A remarkable number of critics and various studies are saying yes! Perhaps cultural writer Max Wyman says it best in his book, The Defiant Imagination, Why Culture Matters, when he states: "Cultural activity is integral to a sense of community, as a primal form of communication and a shared act of the imagination" (15). Like a number of critics he is suggesting that, while cultural events at their most basic level bring sheer joy and aesthetic pleasure into our lives—in short, they entertain and distract us—they also, he adds, produce "tangible expression of the culture in which it exists, a living affirmation of the shared hopes and visions of a group of people who have chosen to live together" (14). I would point out how arts events gather us together in ways that always have an aspect of celebrating community. When we go see a play, for example, don't we tend to dress up a little, invite special friends along, maybe go for dinner first, chat with acquaintances at intermission, take home a program to reflect on what we witnessed, then read reviews in the newspapers? We might even, on occasion, reflect deeply upon either the topic of the play, the incredible performance of a particular actor, the wonder of the staging design, or simply the unique, ineffable experience of participating in the whole event as somehow an essential part of communal life as lived in Kamloops.
Ways We Value the Arts
Probably most people would say the arts are valuable; each person, however, values the arts in different ways, from one or more perspectives. Primarily, we attach importance to the sheer existence value of a strong arts scene, measured grossly in such things as the number of arts organizations, dedicated arts facilities, support organizations, civic and corporate funding opportunities for the arts, even civic policy backing. In Kamloops we highly value our "big three", the Western Canada Theatre, the Kamloops Art Gallery, and the Kamloops Symphony. They are an integral part of city life, even listed as "popular links" on the Kamloops Municipal website, and we are glad to support them in ways such as contributing to their joint fundraising endowment campaign, Creating Tomorrow. Then, we like the educational value of the arts, somehow assured that at some level our varied contacts with the arts make us grow in heart and mind. We learn, too, that some people who perhaps rarely partake of the arts will nonetheless cite the so-called option value of culture, in which they place a high value on their option to use culture at some time in the future. I may not, for example, very often attend the Vancouver Opera, but I did several years ago and am pleased to know it is there and that I may attend again some day in the future. For some people, there is bequest value, in which they place a significant value on the anticipated delight the next generations will enjoy, the belief that it is vitally important to transmit key cultural values onward to our offspring—via the arts. Finally, there is prestige value, where culture becomes a crucial measure of a town's reputation—its vitality (See Brooks 12-13 for discussion of these values).
In this way the lively arts provide much more than mere momentary entertainment or escapism—so much so that we are willing to grant a higher status to arts activities than to many other activities, and we are happy to contribute volunteer or financial assistance to what in effect is the opposite of escapism: we view the arts as a kind of personal and public cause, a step into greater participation into the life of the city, a necessary nourishing of our local spirit. How does this work? How is it that we particularly value arts activities differently from other worthwhile activities? Critic Allan Gregg gives an answer by asking the question: why should we support the artist, even to the point of subsidizing his or her work, rather than, say, the equally good work turned out by a plumber? His answer: The reason to support the painter and not the plumber therefore, is not for the painting that is produced, but for the effect that the painting has on the community. The effect, in turn, is to stimulate debate, create a common bond, inspire citizenship, and bring members of the community in closer proximity to one another—something a toilet can rarely do, but great art almost always does. In short, the 'value' of culture should not be measured as the end product of art but as the means by which art is exposed to and invigorates community life." (78)
The Creative Economy These "invigorating" benefits to the community are many. American urban theorist Richard Florida has written about the importance of what he has famously called the creative class and its role in urban regeneration–in which he stresses the positive relationship between economic enterprise and the presence of a strong creative class of people such as artists, musicians, and other so-called "bohemians." Elizabeth Currid, in her recent book, The Warhol Economy, similarly talks about the "social life of creativity," of how vital it is, especially in a culturally leading-edge city such as New York, that people from widely different areas of creativity can get together in informal settings, whether gallery openings, nightclubs, lounges, cafes, theatre lobbies, places where the "cultural economy works most efficiently" (4). Here they make invaluable contacts with the so-called gatekeepers and tastemakers of culture, the people who lead the way in establishing taste: "they tell us what is worth having, what has taste, in a seemingly arbitrary, symbolic, and status-driven economy" (5). Thus, as Currid notes, the greater and more vibrant a city's urban arts and culture scene, the more creative and productive becomes its economy: What all the creative producers that I interviewed emphasized was being in the same geographic space as those who are instrumental to your career and valorize your product and also other creative types with whom one can collaborate, share ideas, and attain new projects…it is the social world the propels the creative economy. (112)
Dick Stanley equates social cohesion, "the willingness of people to cooperate with each other in common enterprises to achieve collective goals" (6), with the popular term, "social capital," the advantages, such as increased beneficial contacts and fellowship made across society, that we gain from increased social networking. Specifically, he mentions how, as we attend an arts event, "the cultural activity gives us an entertaining excuse to be there and something to talk about that many social occasions do not. Cultural participation in all forms therefore tends to promote group interaction and cooperation"(7).
More and more, cities like Kamloops are realizing the civic benefits of the arts. A special edition of Creative City News (2004), published in Vancouver, names seven ways culture can help build communities, with urban revitalization first on the list. The editors cite a recent study conducted by Ryerson University, which demonstrated how "arts and cultural facilities bring economic development and revitalization to neighbourhoods (2)," and for evidence of this we need look no further than our own province, notably Granville Island in Vancouver, Leigh Square Community Arts Village in Port Coquitlam, or the cultural district in Kelowna (the city was named a Cultural Capital of Canada in 2003 by the federal department of Canadian Heritage). In Kamloops there is ongoing discussion of where to locate a cultural district. Immediate, tangible benefits are the ability of an arts culture to revitalize old buildings, attract people to a city's downtown core, and bring life to a downtown that "doesn't shut down at the end of the work day" (2). Add to this the statistic that the arts and culture sector is the fastest-growing employer in the Canadian economy (Wyman 28), and you have a powerful economic engine.
"Lifestyle – Above All"
The above title could be regarded as Kamloops' current slogan: it appears at the top of the city's website. We hear a lot now about cultural tourism—which occurs when people travel to participate in a cultural activity, such as the Merritt Mountain Music Festival or Salmon Arm's Roots and Blues Festival. This is especially relevant to Kamloops with its tourism economy that emphasizes the experiential and outdoor, what some call adventure tourism, a strong option in the area's lifestyle. Of course, cultural tourism can be (and is) also centred on arts festivals, shows, museums, galleries, and heritage attractions. Closely allied is culture's role in building community identity and adding to that elusive and trendy term, its quality of life. Certainly ideas of "development" are changing: we now hear a lot about creative communities or regions, places that are people-centred, organic, sustainable, and certainly community-minded. We learn in the literature that it is these communities, as they increase their various standard of living scales (Kamloops has its Citizen Satisfaction Survey), that they enjoy higher rates of business entrepreneurship and commitment to a more holistic view of the community.
Finally, the arts can be a key to a city's unique—and evolving—identity. We know, for example, that cities such as Kamloops attempt in various ways to self-represent their community. Remember how, for a while, the city was represented by a little green trout wearing a gun? Well, Kami's gone, and we now look for other means of imagining ourselves. The present rebranding of Kamloops, formally announced in June, features white line athletic figures of various sports against vivid blocks of blue, green, yellow and orange. Besides marketing the city as "Canada's Tournament Capital," the images, according to Richard Fisher, of Trapeze Communications, the company employed by the city to develop the campaign, are also intended "to boost civic pride" (Kamloops Daily News, 21 June 2008).
But true community identity comes from the ground up: it begins with people finding ways to explore their group's common cultural identity, often through an array of arts activities. Your attending a stage production by Western Canada Theatre, for example, automatically involves you in deeper awareness of community, simply because one of the functions of performance, any performance, is "to make or foster community," according to theatre scholar Richard Schechner (46). Wide, inclusive participation in the arts, something especially encouraged in some areas of Europe, fosters pride in and a sense of belonging to one's local community—which leads, as one study says, to "develop local identity and belonging" (Matarasso, Use vii). One of the concluding sections of this study is titled, "Local Image and Identity"; in it, the writer cites several clear local benefits (among others) for participants that many of us may not think of, such as improved perceptions of marginalized peoples as well as of public bodies, plus just feeling better about where they live (Matarasso, Use 49).
As for the evolving sense of identity, we should remember that it is often our artists who project a vision of who we are—as John Ralston Saul has stated: "When the time comes for non-Canadians to buy, to negotiate, to travel, Canada's chance, or the attitude toward Canada, will already have been determined to a surprising extent by the projection of our culture abroad" (quoted in Wyman 28). In The Defiant Imagination, Wyman states: The stories we tell each other—in our plays, our books, our films—affirm the importance of the human, the local, the specific: they are the crackly bits that give society texture in the face of the blender forces of globalization…a diverse cultural expression that asserts the primacy of the human and the humane must be a fundamental component of the new Canada. (5-7)
All of this, as a background, leads us to ask questions about some of the key cultural groups in Kamloops, and the nature of their role in engaging community. Since we are studying our community partner, Western Canada Theatre, I would like to explore more specific background about audiences and community engagement.
Looking at Professional Theatre
Some of the questions we have been asking are: Does local professional theatre matter? In what ways? What is the role of theatre in its community? Should it do more than entertain? What does it do, or perhaps, what should it do for its community? These questions, and many others jumping out from these, are ones that we ask as we look at professional theatre companies in three cities in British Columbia: Kamloops, Prince George, and Nanaimo. As a part of the Thompson Rivers University CURA research program, we committed to the general focus of studying culture and quality of life in small cities (those with populations between 50,000 and 150,000); in this larger endeavour, we are happy to be working alongside an impressive group of academics–historians, sociologists, geographers, as well as many local partners. Working in alliance with community groups is what CURA, which stands for Community University Research Alliance, an initiative in federal funding for scholarly research, is all about. In our particular studies, we worked with Western Canada Theatre in Kamloops, Theatre Northwest in Prince George, and TheatreOne in Nanaimo.
Why ask these questions? For two reasons: first, our basic CURA-related inquiry began with our interest, both theoretical and practical, in the contribution to community that professional theatre companies make; this we later modified to a wider examination of the nature of the relationship between these theatre companies and their respective communities. This would hopefully give us some new and valuable information that we could turn into some interesting and insightful conference papers, articles, and eventually a book. This photographic exhibition was one way of evoking a public discussion.
But we also worked closely with our community professionals—the hardworking theatre folks who bring you annual seasons of quality theatre productions—and we must meet their needs too. What are these needs? Well, the truth is that each company strives to offer a range of activities, both on stage and off, that will connect to the community. The ultimate goal of course is to "put bums in seats," so necessary to meet the financial requirements of operating fully professional companies where salaries and staging costs must be paid. Every theatre director knows of companies that have gone bankrupt; even major ones such as Bastion in Victoria and the Playhouse in Vancouver have either folded completely or come close to termination. Not long ago, Kelowna's professional theatre company, Sunshine Theatre, ceased to be a producing company—it now operates a season of hosting touring shows. Recently, Nanaimo's TheatreOne suddenly, devastatingly, had to cancel the remaining two mainstage shows of their season, "in order to avoid an operational deficit," according to the company's website. Clearly there can be serious disruptions, along with the plain fact that professional companies need to adjust to a rapidly changing theatrical environment with its shifting population demographics, increasing demands for accountability from civic funding bodies, and growing competition from other local theatre groups who sometimes operate as semi-professional—and occasionally seem more focussed and imaginative in their programming. So it is beneficial to learn all we can about the relationship between professional theatre companies and their audiences—and their wider communities.
Looking at Audiences
Who are the people who attend? Is there a "typical" audience member? Do we know much about this person? One approach is to learn what we can about audiences, beginning with their general demographics. According to Hill Strategies, a Canadian group who regularly conduct research into the Arts, 23% of the Canadian population, 15 and older, attended theatre performances (drama, musical theatre, dinner theatre, or comedy) in 2005, the last year studied (See Hill, Factors 10-18). Two big factors that seem to have a bearing on who attends are education and income, along with living in an urban area and activity limitations. Education appears to be the strongest demographic factor: people with at least a bachelor's degree have over twice the attendance rate (57%) than those with less than a high school diploma (24%). Perhaps not surprisingly, attendance increases with income, people with incomes of over $100,000 having double the attendance (59%) as that of people with incomes less than $20,000 (29%).
Other less striking but nonetheless important factors are living in larger urban areas and activity limitations. If you live in what the study calls a larger urban centre you are 1.3 times more likely to attend the performing arts than those who don't; similarly, if you are not limited by a health or physical condition you are 1.3 times more likely to attend than those who are. Other factors, such as sex, age, whether or not you have children, your country of birth and language, have little impact. We know that women tend to attend in higher proportions than men, but the figures are close (44% of women attended a live performance in 2005, compared to 39% of men).
But the most important factors, according to Hill, are non-demographic. It seems that if you have the "arts-bug", you are more likely to attend. How do you get the "arts-bug"? Can it be spread around? It begins with early exposure to the arts: childhood experience in the arts is an important factor in later participation in cultural events, according to this study. Then, performing arts attendance is highest for those people who reported attending another type of performance, such as dance or opera, or who went to a cultural festival, or who visited an art gallery or museum. In other words, cultural forms tend to share audiences. The study concludes: Overall, the statistics imply that cultural experiences and cultural exposure are more important factors in cultural activities than most demographic factors. In other words, there is an arts-interested public that transcends demographic analysis. Those who get the arts go to a range of things. Those who don't "get it" don't go. (Hill, Arts Elitist? 3)
But why attend at all? What gets you there? What personal benefits do you get? What does attending live performance do for you? One study found that the single best predictor of a satisfying performance is "the expectation of an enjoyable experience" (Hill, Arts Research Monitor 2). In other words, if you fully expect a great show you are more likely to get one than if your expectations are low or non-existent. Contributing to this happy pre-performance anticipation are marketing methods, your cultural background, and the amount of contextual information you have. If you have read or heard local media previews and interviews of a show, overheard good reports from acquaintances, maybe know some of the players involved, you are much more likely to attend—and enjoy. Mostly though, you go to see plays as a social event.
Specifically, one report (Hill, Arts Research Monitor) lists six intrinsic impacts a live performance can have on you: captivation, intellectual stimulation, emotional resonance, spiritual value, aesthetic growth, and social bonding. The last is certainly a key value in attending. A major American study (Ostrower 9-14) reports that "the most common motivations for attending cultural events were wanting to socialize (57%), and finding the event emotionally rewarding (53%)." The figure for theatre attendance is even higher: 68% of people reported they attend theatre primarily to socialize with family and friends. This last study makes an interesting point: that people have different motivations for attending the various arts events. While we primarily go to see a play for social reasons, most people (65%) report that their reason for going to a museum or art gallery is to gain knowledge or to learn something. Another big motivator for play attendance is the desire to experience high-quality art, which half the respondents indicated as a major motivation.
On a personal level, your quality of life improves—and you just might live longer! Hill tells us that, along with the great pleasure you get from an arts experience, your happiness and sense of well-being similarly increase. For example, in the area of health, "A workplace with pieces of art on display can reduce stress and also reduce the rate of turnover of the employees," while "attendance at cultural events, reading books or periodicals, making music or singing in a choir, appeared to reduce the risks of mortality within the time period of the study" (Hill, "Social Effects" 8). How does Kamloops do? Rachel LeBlanc, who conducted a local survey, reports that, "overall, Kamloops residents are pleased with the quality of life." In the city's 2001 Citizen Satisfaction Survey, respondents reported the quality of life in the city as Excellent (16.5%) or Good (77.7%); of these people, 60% said they visited the Sagebrush Theatre from 1 to 6 times a year—the Sagebrush being the "most visited" venue when compared to the Museum or Art Gallery (10).
So much for the individual—what are the social benefits of attending live performance? An interesting study began in Montreal in 2004, when, under the auspices of the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canada Council for the Arts, experts from Canada, the United States, and Europe came together to examine the social effects of culture. They defined culture broadly, including the creative arts, both professional and amateur, heritage activities, the industries that support them, as they did participation: including audiences (users of culture), artists and produces (people engaged in the creation of culture), and what they call "stewards" (people who administer or otherwise enable cultural production). They found three categories of benefits: personal, instrumental, and social. While instrumental benefits might be such things as educational outcomes, perhaps the main finding of the Montreal study was how the arts, culture and heritage contribute to community building, or what they call "citizenship capacity" (Stanley 2-3).
This is how it works: you go to see a play—initially it's just for entertainment, so it gives you a fun excuse to join other folks for sheer common enjoyment. It's also a social event so you tend to build relationships and a sense of belonging with fellow participants: this alone probably stimulates your thinking in new ways or at least confirms a sense of group identification and consensus. It's also an arts event—and these typically present you with images and ideas of people relating to each other in various ways: some will inspire you, some you'll be critical of; all of them have to do with social relationships and will perhaps challenge you to assert or modify your own social values. Thus the arts experience builds up your social repertoire and you just might feel more inclined to interact and cooperate with others in attaining collective community goals.
All in all, the experience seems to help make you a more caring citizen. One study shows how people who regularly participate in cultural activities score higher in community service than those who don't. Performing arts attendees score higher (48%) in volunteering than non-attendees (28%), donate to worthy causes at a greater level (85% vs. 71%), and are more likely to do a neighbour a favour (73% vs. 67%) than non-attendees.
So, as you look over this photo essay of these fourteen community volunteer folks, and read their responses to Western Canada Theatre, which are also neatly summed up in the next article by Ginny Ratsoy, we hope you will reflect on the work of this company—as well as other arts organizations in Kamloops. Maybe one day you too will get a phone call from someone asking about the value of culture in our fair city….

Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, January 14, 2007
Lance Stephenson cheered when two riders from the BOSS Freestyle Stunt Team popped wheelies yesterday at the Washington Convention Center, not only off the back tires of their Honda CRF 150 motorcycles, but off the front ones, too.
The 12-year-old, though, was equally impressed by the team's next stunts: Team members rode their motorcycles 35 miles per hour up, down and around the inside of a ball of steel strips measuring 14 feet in diameter, a blur of gray and black streaks. Then they did all kinds of tricks -- back flips, letting go of the handlebars and riding with their legs floating behind them like Superman flying -- while airborne in the middle of a 20-foot jump.
"Awesome," the boy pronounced.
Lance's father, Cole Stephenson, had an inkling of what was rattling around in his son's head, and he said he didn't like it: "The last trick he did [on a Harley-Davidson], he cut his hand open when he ran into a fence," said Stephenson, 44, of Sterling.
The Stephensons were among several thousand bike enthusiasts at the 26th annual Cycle World International Motorcycle Show, which continues today. Like its four-wheel counterpart, the Auto Show, yesterday's event featured glossy, gleaming displays of the latest offerings from all the major manufacturers -- Yamaha, BMW, Kawasaki, Honda and, of course, Harley-Davidson.
There were hulking, high-off-the-ground motorcycles. There were bikes with side cars; three-wheeled scooter bikes; bikes for tots. And there were customized bikes, including a gold-plated one valued at $250,000.
But one main attraction was a red, 24-foot-long machine that looked like a cross between an upside down canoe and a spacecraft and was billed as the world's fastest motorcycle. Built by Denis Manning, who first held the land-speed record in 1970 with a Harley-Davidson he designed, the "7" has been clocked at 350 mph.
Jennifer Sozio, 47, who works in the Fairfax County school system, was snapping photos to show students. "I would find it very exciting to ride in that," said Sozio, who has two Harleys. "It would be an awesome ego trip -- going fast," she added. "But I try to express to the kids that, even though riding motorcycles is cool, it requires responsibility."
Many others were circling the 7, ogling and pointing. Manning reveled in the attention.
"A kid can look at me and say, 'If this ugly son-of-a-gun can do this, then I can do this, too,' " said Manning, 60. "I'm a high-speed Don Quixote."
Across the floor were other bikes -- bright yellow -- that you shouldn't expect to see pulling up next to you at a stoplight. One, called the Bigtoe, was 7 1/2 feet high and weighed 3,600 pounds. The other was tiny enough to fit in your hand, yet -- as documented by a photo next to it -- rideable with the use of shoes that snap into it and worn by a nimble rider doubled over to hold onto the wee handlebars.
The showy bikes are not manufactured for the general market but are used merely to promote a product called CTEK, a battery charger, said Borge Maleus, president of the Swedish company.
"If you come to America, it's not enough to have the best product. You have to make people aware of it," Maleus said. "The attention we get from this is unbelievable."

One of the reasons why we love using Macs is just how low maintenance they are. Make sure you're running the latest security updates and you're usually fine. But sometimes that's not the case. Either you have a lot of applications installed, or you're constantly running out of space. There can be multiple reasons why your Mac is running slower than usual. One of the ways to fix it is by using CleanMyMac 3.
Download: CleanMyMac 3
Smart Cleanup
When you open the CleanMyMac app for the first time, you'll see a big Scan button in the Smart Cleanup section. This will perform a complete scan of your system – from files to caches to the trash. You should do this scan but you shouldn't use the smart cleanup feature. It's better to manually go section by section and pick what you want to clean or delete.
A note about free vs paid: CleanMyMac 3 license is available for $39.99. But you can use CleanMyMac for free to scan your Mac but you can't use its automatic cleanup features.
Read more: How to Easily Free up Disk Space on Your Mac with CleanMyMac
Clean Up System Junk
After installing CleanMyMac 3, do a scan and go to the System Junk section. From here, you'll be able to empty app caches, get rid of language files and other system junk. This will help reduce storage space and will make your Mac run faster.
Remove Large and Old Files
Go to the Large and Old Files section and click on Review Details after doing a scan. Get rid of files that are taking up too much space and files you no longer have a use for. If you're no longer at the edge of your storage space, your Mac will run smoother.
Uninstall Apps
An app gone rogue can wreck havoc on your Mac. Go to the Uninstaller section and click on View all Application. Then check all the apps you can live without, or apps you know are taking a lot of resources (go to Activity Monitor to find out). Once all apps are checked, click on Clean.
Run Maintenance
CleanMyMac has a dedicated Maintenance section. So go to it from the sidebar and click on Choose Tasks. This feature can improve disk performance, resolve app issues and improves search functionality.
After you click on Choose Tasks, you'll see a list of 7 tasks. Choose the ones you want to run and then click on Run.
Remove Extensions
It's possible that a rogue extension (system or app) is making your Mac slow. Go to the Extension section and click on View All Extensions. Check the ones you want to remove and then click Remove.

Quote:Spider-man chronology is crazy. He's got Avengers, ASM, PPtSS, Spidey&DP, etc. Typical for most MU characters who star in more than one book. Who can fit this arc in? Marvel should do something novel in 2018 and clearly lay out Peter Parker's titles sequentially.
It's really no crazier than it's ever been.
Quote:Teresa (and Johnny) getting loaner Ant-Man gear just to facilitate a lame/fantastical jailbreak. That's a thing now spare Ant-Man suits? For fugitives? And they got 'em from Ant-Man?! Langs's in space. Pymtron is evil and hiding in plain sight. Black Ant is probably broken beyond repair at the bottom of a well. C'mon, Editors!
Pretty sure O'Grady turned it into a thing.
Quote:Shocker is tossed into the the story. For no GOOD reason. His appearance completely undermines his interesting potentially more legit direction in this week's Uncanny Avengers. Whether this is before or after that issue, Chronology Cops! He's at the supervillain's Bar With No Name. The place now has a name?! "JAVELYNN'S" But doesn't that undermine that whole concept of a secret hide out too? It should be like a M*A*S*H unit where it relocates everytime it attracts attention of press or heroes.
It might. The original "Bar With No Name" (the Scourge massacre) was in Ohio. Or maybe it's a franchise.

Former 'X Factor' winner Steve Brookstein has sparked outrage after tweeting a sick HIV joke in response to Olly Murs' live TV gaffe on Sunday (15 November) night.
- Monica Michael Slammed For 'Disrespectful' Speech During 'X Factor' Exit Show
- Two More Acts Bow Out Of 'The X Factor'
- Olly Murs Makes Unfortunate 'X Factor' Blunder
The series one champ, who was dropped by Simon Cowell after just one album, took to Twitter after 'X Factor' co-host Olly made a mistake when announcing who would be leaving the competition during the results show.
He tweeted: "Dr Mrs, 'Sorry you have HIV, actually no, sorry I'm wrong. You haven't. My mistake. Hold on, yes, sorry you have HIV. Sorry." #XFactor"
Dr Murs, "Sorry you have HIV, actually no, sorry I'm wrong. You haven't. My mistake. Hold on, yes, sorry you have HIV. Sorry." #XFactor
— Steve Brookstein (@stevebrookstein) November 15, 2015
Followers were disgusted by his attempts at humour, and slammed the singer for his comments.
@stevebrookstein what you have used for your "joke" is real life for many people every day so glad you find it so funny you heartless man
— Mark + (@earlymbird) November 15, 2015
@stevebrookstein That's funny Steve. The same way HIV is a rich untapped source of humour.
— Ambivalent Janner (@Antijanner) November 15, 2015
@stevebrookstein HIV jokes? really? why don't you go and sit in a cupboard with @KayBurley?
— James (@_JamesN) November 15, 2015
@stevebrookstein AIDS jokes? For goodness sake man.

@stevebrookstein When you have to resort to jokes about HIV to get noticed then you're desperate for attention. #knob
— Ruth C (@ruth2311) November 16, 2015
After the backlash, Steve attempted to defend himself by saying that 'X Factor' viewers did not get the "construct" of his "light-hearted" joke.
"Oh dear the X Factor viewers are upset. Duh! No surprise there then," he wrote.

— Steve Brookstein (@stevebrookstein) November 15, 2015
"It was a light hearted joke at Olly's expense," he added. "Not at those with HIV. Anyone who understands construct gets that."
He then added that he should have used ebola as a substitute for HIV in his tweet, before going on to make the same jibe using diabetes and genital warts instead.
It isn't the first time Steve has courted controversy, as earlier this year he posted an insensitive tweet about 7/7 on the 10th anniversary of the London bombings.
He later hijacked an abortion hashtag on the social media site to talk about "aborting" his pop career.

On the road Nitwit Tidbits today! Hope you had a great weekend!
Numbers For The Review - The crack staff at our web site holder have forwarded us the final stats for the Review this past year. There were 343,928 direct hits on our front page, with 3,291,117 page views for all pages...Never - ever - did we dream it would ever be this big.
If these numbers were truly given to Klein, he meant "crackhead" staff:
Klein's numbers are clearly invented.
Numbers Of Birds - It was a bad oil spill. And the environmental whackos come out of the woodwork. So get this - six (6) birds have been hurt by the spill in the ship channel. And so far - the money spent for the wildlife folks is now estimated at just over $329,000. To wash and clean wildlife effected by the spill? Over $329k? That is just about $54k a bird? We are really one screwed up society
Typically, Philip R. Klein missed the forest for the trees.
Philip's figure of six birds came from this article by the Associated Press. I suspect that Philip's financial estimate of "just over $329,000" came from his imagination, since no one is counting the cost yet. That money, if Philip's unsubstantiated number is indeed credible, is being used for a lot more than just cleaning up birds "effected" by the spill.
According to General Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson:
Plastic walls known as booms and oil-sucking skimmer boats were used to safeguard a lake that is a crucial breeding ground and a wildlife management area that lost its protective gates when Hurricane Ike roared ashore a year and a half ago, Patterson said.
The Lake is part of the Keith Lake Marsh ecosystem, an important fishery for the Upper Texas Coast. As another example of Klein's superficial understanding of the real issues, his sources apparently didn't include anyone from the shrimping and crabbing industry in Port Arthur, which would be directly impacted if the oil spill taints those areas were wildlife breed. From the Port Arthur News (emphasis in mine):
Keith Lake can be seen by motorists traveling Texas 87 towards Sabine Pass. A "cut" or pass connects the Intracoastal Canal to the lake and is a favorite fishing spot for many anglers. The cut, coupled with tidal changes, creates turbulent water flows into and out of Keith Lake Marsh. The pass was created in 1977 to enhance the production of finfish, crabs and shrimp to nearby marshes, according to the TPWD.
Perhaps Philip should wake up and smell the gumbo, I think there'e too much oil in the roux.
Numbers Of Emails - Okay - we cannot post all of the emails we get. We simply take them one at a time. However, some have been kind of rough this past week with the story about the young boy...sorry....young man running for school board. It seems we now have a following in North Orange County. Go figure? The emails crested 74 for the week. It was split 50/50. This might get interesting.
In reality, Philip posted only two purported messages from his readers this week; since the style and substance closely mirrors Philip's own writing style, I suspect he wrote both of them.
This is further corroborated by this notice that appeared on his "Front Page" for most of the week:
Numbers For The Evening News - Ratings are down again for the 4th quarter according to Radio and TV. The 6 p.m. news is going the way of the national evening news. Down again almost 14% for a five year period. Some even more. People are turning to FOX for their news. It is very very interesting.
I couldn't find a source called "Radio and TV," so Klein's attribution is as credible as his anonymous sources. Here are the top 10 shows in Southeast Texas, according to Nielsen's latest ratings for Southeast Texas:
|CH 6 NEWS Early News
|Thu 6:00p-6:30p
|CH 6 NEWS Early News
|Mo-Fri 6:00p-6:30p
|CH 6 NEWS Early News

|Thu 6:30p-7:00p
|WHEEL-FORTNE Access
|Mon 6:30p-7:00p
|WHEEL-FORTNE Access
|Fri 6:30p-7:00p
Ironically, I couldn't find any of the Channel 4 News broadcasts listed in the Top 50 shows.
Number Of Dollars Spent To Fire Fireman - The cost of man hours and now outside legal counsel to fire the fireman that city council in Beaumont Texas?
"That city council" what? This is gibberish, since most sentences contain a complete thought including a subject and verb. Because reading and writing skills reflect one's comprehension skills, we can deduce that Philip is very confused.
Number Of Numbers In The Gas Business - The number has crested just over $22 million in the estimation based upon futures in the Gas Market! Money back to the people? Zero.
Philip's confusion is showing again. Compare Philip's gibberish with the real futures market for the petroleum industry. A quick look at this article from the Wall Street Journal provides further evidence of Klein's idiocy.
Ironically, Klein has come down firmly on both sides of that fence, since he frequently claims he's "business-friendly." Perhaps he's only friendly towards businesses outside the petroleum and media sectors, or when Hilton Kelley is involved.
Number of Subscribers To The Enterprise - Seemingly has hit bottom. Not many online folks either. Will people pay to read the Enterprise online? Nope - but we hope they do - our numbers will skyrocket.
No source provided, but Philip's unsubstantiated opinion is more gibberish. The "bottom" would imply no subscribers at all. Here's some numbers from Sitelogr.com for the world ranking in website traffic:
- #116,717: The Beaumont Enterprise:
- #7,350,488: The Southeast Texas Political Review:
There are more than 7.3 million websites who experience more traffic that the Southeast Texas Political Review.
Number Of Spelling Mistakes On The Review This Week - We counted 23.
Number of Spelling Mistakes On The Channel Six Web Site - We counted 18. Example :
"A cold front is moving across Southeast Texas, bringing with it ligh to moderate rain but now severe weather. Rainfall of one to two inches is reported in some parts of the area, including Hardin."
I counted over 40 spelling mistakes on Klein's site this week, far too many to document here.
More importantly, there is a big difference between a simple typographical error:
...bringing with it ligh to moderate...
And an error based on ignorance:
To wash and clean wildlife effected by the spill?
Philip' confused "affect" with "effect." Is Philip really smarter than a fifth-grader? How about this:
There has been a Coo right in front of your face.
Klein meant "coup." Nor does Klein's simplistic observation address his grammatical train wrecks, representative of his breakdown in comprehension:
The cost of man hours and now outside legal counsel to fire the fireman that city council in Beaumont Texas?
Let's revisit two items from last week's Nitwit Tidbits:
KFDM - Now wait a minute? The Enterprise writes an article - the article says that two TV Stations and a Newspaper group files a PIR for the name of a police officer that shot a man at Parkdale Mall. The story? Not the name - but who didn't file the PIR? Two TV Stations....being? NOT THE NEWS LEADER KFDM? Uh......which TV news station has a city councilwomen that.....oh never mind. Just our overactive imagination?
Philip meant FOI (Freedom of Information) request, not a PIR (Purely Invented Reference; see the Nitwit Tidbit directly above).
As it turns out, KFDM was among the first to release the officer's name this week:
Grand jury clears officer involved in Parkdale Mall fatal shooting
January 28, 2010 10:27 AM
District Attorney Tom Maness says the grand jury met Thursday morning and no billed Sgt. Al Johnson, 61, in the December 29 shooting. The panel determined there was no criminal wrongdoing on the part of Sgt. Johnson, according to Maness.
Even more interesting, KFDM was apparently the only media outlet in Southeast Texas that followed through with another FOI request:
KFDM News filed a Freedom of Information request for the Beaumont Police dispatch communications from the officer-involved shooting.
The results:
Police say the tape demonstrates Sgt. Al Johnson tried repeatedly to talk the man into giving up before Johnson was forced to shoot him.
Channel 6 posted a portion of the transcripts on their website. I missed that part of the story on website of KBTV Channel 4, now known as Klein TV.
Finally, there was this promise in Philip's Nitwit Tidbits last week:
Finally - War declared on us by Tom Maness and Judge Larry Thorne. Story next week. You gotta hear this one. You will simply giggle.
That story never appeared. Where's the beef, Philip?

Our new garage is finally finished! (If you remember, our doggies and their doghouses were "displaced" to the yard while we doing construction, see post here). Before and after pics below. What an improvement!
The new garage was completed just in time, because, as you can see, we got dumped on with a whole bunch of early snow!! (The joys of living in Minnesota….) Thankfully, we got the doggies moved back into the garage before the cold weather set in.
Today I absently peeped into one of the igloo doghouses (best kind of doghouse, in my dogs' opinions), and the sight that met my eyes was so cute I had to stop and get a picture of it! There was Nikki and our big fluffy cat, Tiger, curled up together like the best of buddies that they are. Or maybe they simply formed a truce for the time being so they could share each other's warmth. Come warm weather, all past agreements will be annulled? We'll see.
So cute! Reminds me of Isaiah 11:6: "In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together" (NLT), speaking of the restored harmony of nature on the earth-made-new. Only in this case it's the Tiger and the Cavachon…. How nice to experience a foretaste of heaven here on earth!

No Risk Too Great
Here, Jeff Khan, Next Wave's Artistic Director, outlines his theme for the 2010 Festival:
The 2010 Next Wave Festival will explore the role of risk in a risk-averse culture. Under pressure to conform, we have all become experts in micro-managing our own behaviour. But is this self-surveillance distracting us from the bigger risks, the more un-manageable ones which are increasingly – and radically – changing our world? Just what does 'risk' actually mean in these volatile times?
In a wider culture of risk management, how prepared are we to make decisions that are brave, courageous or transgressive? Where is the line between our own personal, moral and ethical worlds, and the codes and principles which circulate in the broader context of contemporary culture? What is our capacity to draw, hold or cross this line? What are the real risks of our time, what are the risks worth taking, and what is our role as individuals, and as artists, in relation to them? How can we act boldly and imaginatively, in art and in life?

A warm and very special welcome to the Organization of American States-your home.
With the next Summit of the Americas fast approaching, our urgent task right now is to review how much progress has been achieved in implementing the mandates our presidents and prime ministers gave us last time when they met in Santiago de Chile.
Specifically, we are gathered this morning in relation to the important Summit mandate surrounding education, which the leaders established at the Santiago Summit as the main priority on the hemispheric agenda.
On that occasion-with the entire Hemisphere looking on-they identified education as the most urgent focus of the collective effort to move forward as a Hemisphere, to deliver to all the citizens of the Americas the real benefits that are part and parcel of the promise of development.
In a concrete sense, the EDSAT-Americas initiative that is the focus of our attention this morning, holds great hope and potential to deliver on that promise. By focussing on an educational infrastructure linking the countries of the Hemisphere, we are laying the foundation for sound, collective action so that all of our children, no matter where they are or what their station, can have affordable access to educational opportunities.
It would be preaching to the choir to go try to list the benefits of education as a tool to fight poverty and so many of the social ills that threaten our society.
And what the EDSAT-Americas effort is emphasizing is just how this can be achieved by harnessing the best energies that the government sector has to offer by acting in concert with the private sector and other social actors, bonded by a commitment to the larger good-in this case, the idea that education will drive development.
The OAS still believes this undertaking to be an eminently achievable one, and that is why we are here this morning to reaffirm our belief in the project and to urge maximum support from all sectors, to bring it into reality.
I understand that Assistant Secretary Rohde has a very important message from the Vice President of the United States. We are very grateful for the Vice President's support and recognition of the OAS' work with the EDSAT-Americas project.
Let us consider for a moment how far this satellite-based system can move us toward bridging this so-called 'digital divide' or 'technological divide' by creating the non-profit organization that will run an operation to extend a helping hand to those who otherwise would have no means of a decent education!
While the proposed infrastructure would ensure quality education by putting vital educational tools within the reach of millions of children who otherwise would not have such opportunity, it would also provide another very important service-access to health care resources and information from anywhere in the continent.
I understand that the technical planning team stands ready to move the project towards realization, having spent the last year addressing the major technical questions involved; questions such as what input is required from the various sectors that are to be involved; questions such as what real returns this investment could yield for those willing to put up the finances necessary to get the infrastructure up and running; and a range of other issues.
It cannot be overemphasized how crucial it is that in preparing for the upcoming Summit of our Presidents and Prime Ministers, in Quebec City, Canada, next April, we are able to report on real progress made and how we proposed to build upon these areas of progress.
EDSAT-Americas has managed to secured the firm commitment so far, of 13 Latin American and Caribbean governments, key private sector players and educational as well as civil society groups. Lockheed Martin Global Telecommunications, a worldwide corporate in the communication technology, has wisely seen the benefit of teaming up with educational institutions such as George Washington University to demonstrate their belief in this project by being part of the planning effort.
But it needs decisive action by an even broader coalition, in order to get it up and running. We are talking about the need for financial commitment to take it to the next level.
I trust that after all the presentations this morning, everyone will leave here more deeply committed to seeing this worthy effort off the ground. And there are a number of ways we can put practical effort behind this.
Let us move urgently on this. The OAS has a deep commitment to assist our member countries with "cooperative actions" to strengthen their democracies and aggregate their resources to the benefit of all peoples, specifically for those in poverty, women and rural populations without benefit of schooling and other educational opportunities.
After all, it can only redound to the benefit of us all when we ensure that the wider population base is afforded a chance to compete in the increasingly globalized environment our world is fast becoming.
And what better basis to prepare, that through education.
I must commend the governments and the other corporate and civil society groups that are working in conjunction with NETO-EDSAT to make this a reality.
We must support this and I pledge the continued support of the OAS in whatever way we can to this worthy effort to help take this to the people of the Hemisphere, on whose behalf we work to deliver the basis for a better life.
Thank you.

Eastbourne performers are being given the chance to audition for television contest Britain's Got Talent at the Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne and follow in the footsteps of ventriloquist Steve Hewlett.
Steve celebrated Britain's Got Talent success in 2013 when he was selected as the 'wildcard' and asked to return to perform in the finals.
Steve amazed the nation with his incredible talent for comedy ventriloquism on the flagship ITV programme but he was a seasoned performer who has been treading the boards for 21 years.
Now, the show's producers hope to find another successful act from Eastbourne and are running auditions at the theatre in Seaside on September 7.
They will be welcoming acts to the stage, but all performers must first send a video before September 1.
All ages are welcome, but under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
The auditions will be held at the theatre in Seaside between 1pm and 4pm.

The term "Evil Eye", Buri Nazar, "Drishti", "Malocchio" has references all over the world. It is a popular term to believe any unexpected turn of unpleasant events. When we have a normal, routine life going on and suddenly, out of the blue, the apple cart is tipped by unprecedented unpleasant activities, with no plausible explanation, our elders assume it to the be ill-effects of the "Evil Eye" or the eye cast out of jealousy and envy.
The worship of Kaali reverses the ill-effects of black magic, and frees a person from the bad influences of spirits & ghosts. It also eliminates the harmful effects of malefic planets, especially Saturn, which are usually responsible for misfortunes, sufferings and sorrows in life. Her worship bestows spiritual power, and results in fulfilment of desires, increase in wealth and comforts of life.
She is also worshipped to get rid off chronic diseases like blood pressure, paralysis and nervous disorders. Her worship also bestows longevity.
Kali is represented as the consort of god Shiva, on whose body she is often seen standing. Kali's association with blackness stands in contrast to her consort, Shiva, whose body is covered by the white ashes of the cremation ground. The name Kali means "black", but has by folk etymology come to mean "force of time (kala)".

wxWidgets gets better and betterCategories: Crypto, Technology
Developers often have a love/hate relationship with wxWidgets, especially on the Mac. The common complaint, which I can't dispute, is that wx applications don't look and feel particularly well-integrated on the Mac. If you devote some effort to polishing the look and feel, this doesn't have to be the case. It can be a lot of effort though, to build something that really feels native. That said, sometimes I'm just amazed at what you get for free. Here's one of the test applications for PKIF, with no tweaks other than some mild build system manipulation, running on the Mac (not an officially supported platform). Screenshot after the jump.

Maxwell, 19 Apr 2009How do i open my phonei buy this fone today but whene i cant open it because i dont khow what her network.what i can do
hi! i have this phone for one year and a half now. Personally, i was pleased with it. I liked the way it looks, the fact that has mp3 ringtones, bluetooth, and radio fm. if u buy ur phone for pictures, then u should keep on searching, because the cam on this one in not impressive at all. beside that, the most annoing thing about e250 is the low ound of the ringtones. u have to look for ringtones with very high volume to be able to use it as ringtone and actually hear the phone ringing (there is allso one thing u can do to encrese the volume level: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNDAGUuOs8s&feature=related)
the baterry life is around 4,5 days (with normal use), the screen is bit grainy.
Overall, if u want a nice looking phone with a few basic things on it, then buy it, but if u are o phone freak, than don't, because ur gonna get bored verry fast with it.
