Artist: La Casa Fantom
Title: Burning Eyes
Release: LP / Digital
Year: 2019
Label: Iskrem Plater, SM Music, No Way Asso
La Casa Fantom are without a doubt one of the most dedicated and idealistically pure DIY bands to ever exist in Europe. The duo consists of bassist Bård and drummer Lars both screaming their lungs out to create an exceptionally raw, haunting and visceral sound with their unique approach.
With a huge tour backlog and an equally impressive discography under their belt, they have been doing their own thing for nearly two decades now. And, I mean, literally making their own thing—from finding solace in a treehouse collective within the forests of Norway to crafting their own amplifiers and equipment from discarded materials they've found lying around, they are the true kings of do-it-yourself ethics and mischievous life. Even their name comes from a homemade wine kit which gives you 20 liters of red wine in just the overnight.
When it comes to La Casa Fantom's sound, these guys have always been reinventing themselves with each new record they make. Though the drummer Lars has recently moved to the mountains of France, while Bård still lives in Norway, there's a new La Casa Fantom album that came out in 2019.
Expanding further on their already cult legacy, Burning Eyes comes out in a 12″ vinyl containing just four tracks. At its core, this album exemplifies dirty noise-rock parts taking turns into an unconscionable intensity and harshness. In the free world of La Casa Fantom there is enough room to breathe and thrive in a kaleidoscope of noises—from uplifting, bare bones crust-punk crusades against complacency and the prison that is normal life, to slow, crushing metallic riffs that will raze you to the ground; and from raw, misanthropic black metal influences coming straight outta their homeland, to prolongated, psychedelic tripping to elevate your inner-spirit. Basically, La Casa Fantom is a band for every social outcast out there. The title track "Burning Eyes" (last on the record) alone spans for 16 and a half minutes in length packed with a myriad of progressive ideas that could make for a crushing EP in itself, hitting you right in the gut.
This dynamic drum-and-bass combo never ceases to amaze with their astounding rage and creative energy. I just couldn't resist but to write something about this incredible band you won't find on Pitchfork. Always a recommended listen.

A complementary use of the comparative and the semi-absolute variations of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) has enabled us to determine 22 different elements in a sample of natural fluorite originating from the younger granite province of Nigeria. The mineral has a brownish purple appearance with some veinlets having a deep purple coloration. Of all the 22 elements measured, Fe (851.36 ppm), Sb (7.69 ppm), Ag (87.4 ppm), Hg (2.71 ppm) and Se (1.97 ppm) are found to be exclusive to the veinlets while Au (109.15 ppm), Co (2.15 ppm) and W (173.20 ppm) are concentrated in the main matrix of the fluorite. With the aid of the semi-absolute method, it was possible to measure the Au concentration in the IAEA Soil-7 reference material to be 56.83±5.87% ppm. A qualitative electron microprobe analysis (EMA) showed that the bulk of the matrix is composed mainly of Ca and F, as expected.

The problem of nonstationary dynamic behavior of a disk weakened by a central cylinder-conic opening under the action of suddenly applied loading is considered. Determining relations are given in the form of a system of integral equations in an arbitrary oblique coordinate system. A numerical solution has been obtained by using a hybrid difference scheme constructed on the basis of the method of flow correction. Our generalized versions of the S.K. Godunov method for the case of a nonorthogonal system of coordinates were used as basic schemes. The locations of maximum stresses that precede the appearance of plasticity zones have been determined for a particular elastic body.

We report de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) measurements of the high-Tc modification (Tc = 7 - 8 K) and Shubnikov-de Haas results of the low-Tc modification (Tc ≈ 1:4 K) of the organic superconductor β-(BEDT-TTF)2I3. In the high-Tc phase we find a single closed two-dimensional orbit with a dHvA frequency F0 = (3815±10) T and a 1/cosθ dependence as expected for a quasi two-dimensional system (where θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction normal to the conducting planes). The effective cyclotron mass is mc = (4:2±0:2)me. The dHvA signal shows a beating pattern caused by the three-dimensional warping of the Fermi cylinder. The inter-plane transfer integral estimated from the maximum beating frequency ΔF is t⊥/εF ≈ 1/175. At the angles where the beating disappears, i.e., ΔF ≈ 0, the oscillations have a harmonic content which is much larger than expected from the Lifshitz-Kosevich formula. In the low-Tc phase weak SdH oscillations with a frequency of FSdH ≈ 110 T and an effective cyclotron mass mc ≈ 1:0me is found. These results suggest a possible reconstruction of the Fermi surface in the low-Tc phase.

A pH sensor-grid assembly is used in a submerged impinging jet cell to measure the interfacial pH during the reduction of dissolved oxygen in well controlled flow conditions. Experiments were performed in a 0.5m K2SO4 solution with and without carbonate ions. In each case a good agreement between experiment and theory is found. In particular it was confirmed that, in the absence of chemical reaction and for a totally mass transport controlled oxygen reduction reaction, stirring has no influence on the interfacial pH.

Eighteen samples of soybean inoculants representative of the major manufacturing companies in Argentina were purchased from the market and evaluated using plate counts, most probable number (MPN) of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on plants and time of nodule appearance. One or two B. japonicum isolates per product were isolated and typed by analysis of their DNA patterns. The Log10 numbers of B. japonicum obtained were in the range of 0 to 6/soybean seed, with only two products above 1 × 106 bacteria/seed. Of 18 products, 17 were contaminated, and of these 14 contained more contaminants than B. japonicum. The time of nodule appearance varied between 8 and 16 days, indicating a great difference in microbial activity between products. The strains were found to be similar to USDA 138 (five isolates), E45-INTA Argentina (two isolates), USDA 142 (four isolates) and E4-INTA (one isolate). Thus, even if most of the typed strains are considered as good N2-fixing strains, the average quality of the analysed samples was low, and could not support efficient inoculation of soybean.

Achievements of the seismic survey for reconnaissance of anticlinal traps of oil and gas has depleted practically the reconnaissance reserves. Future prospects of oil and gas field discovery are connected now with nonanticlinal traps having high electric conductivity because of saturation by mineral water, owing to this there is an electric conductive contrast agains a background of adjacent layers. At the same time seismic survey badly control nonanticlinal traps by surface layer interfaces.

Due to the increased demand for new reference materials certified for total and methylmercury (MeHg) a sample of mussel homogenate (IAEA-142) has been prepared. Thirteen experienced laboratories reported results for total Hg of which 9 laboratories also reported results for MeHg content. Laboratories reporting MeHg results used various isolation techniques (solvent extraction, saponification, acid leaching, ion-exchange separation, and distillation) and detection systems (cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV AAS), cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CV AFS), gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC/ECD) and HPLC with CV AAS detector). In the case of total Hg, most of the laboratories used acid digestion, only two used alkaline dissolution, followed either by CV AAS or CV AFS. One laboratory used neutron activation analyses with radiochemical separation. The data received were in good agreement. The value for total Hg was certified to be 126 ng/g, with a 95% confidence interval from 119 to 132 ng/g. For MeHg the certified value of 47 ng/g expressed as Hg was assigned, with a 95% confidence interval from 43 to 51 ng/g. Stability testing has shown that both total and MeHg are stable if samples are stored in a dry and dark place at room temperature. The sample is now available as a certified reference material and is, in particular, useful for quality control measurements of Hg and MeHg in mussel samples at low concentration levels.

Today, Alameda County's Garden of Eden dispensary is a model of efficiency, according to its chief financial officer, Shareef El-Sissi. The California dispensary welcomes some 1,400 patients daily, El-Sissi estimates, to its 1,000-square-foot space, which makes it one of the busiest dispensaries in the country—as well as one of the smallest and most technologically friendly, he adds. That's a lot of people in a little area, and Garden of Eden was not always as adept at handling them as it is now.
"Trying to serve 1,200 customers or 1,400 customers in a day—that broke the shop," and resulted in long customer wait times, El-Sissi says. To make matters worse, a 2016 review of the dispensary by the Alameda County newspaper, the East Bay Times, described it this way: "Garden of Eden sits beneath a huge billboard in a run-down, one-story, cinder-block retail shop, with little to attract shoppers beyond copious street parking. … The retail area is small, with two cash registers. There are no clones, edibles, extracts, or trappings. The only splurges are the [HD] flat-screen menus, displaying a truly miraculous marijuana lineup."
El-Sissi admits that this is a "100-percent" accurate description of the dispensary at the time, adding that it was "just a beige [building], as simple as can be." Back then, the dispensary's menu kept patients coming in for the time being, but Garden of Eden knew that wouldn't last. To stay competitive, the company, which launched in 2003, had to reinvent itself with its customer in mind.
At first, Garden of Eden was reluctant to make sweeping changes. As El-Sissi explains, the Garden of Eden team didn't want to upgrade the space—neither technologically nor aesthetically—because it had been difficult to operate the dispensary in Alameda County. The dispensary—along with all dispensaries in the county—was only allowed to sell flower for many years, which limited its ability to become profitable. In addition to that hurdle, "We had been raided by the DEA," El-Sissi says. "We had been [audited] by the IRS—you know, all these occurrences that kind of limited our desire to invest a ton of money into a shop where we didn't know if we were going to be open the next day or the next year, and we had a bureaucracy in Alameda County that made it really tough for us to build a new building."
However, in 2015, the dispensary team began conceptualizing the major re-design that patients enjoy today. "We basically have been clawing and fighting uphill for a long time," El-Sissi explains. By this time, regulations that had slowed the dispensary's growth—such as one that restricted dispensaries from having more than 20 pounds of flower on site at one time—began to ease or be eliminated.
As "the times kind of shifted, we were able to dedicate the attention that the shop really deserved," El-Sissi says.
Garden of Eden contracted multidisciplinary design firm Sand Studios for its redesign, which was completed and unveiled in September 2018. This time, when the East Bay Times wrote about the dispensary, its tune had changed: "Smiling greeters at a check-in desk, soft lighting and creams displayed behind glass make the Garden of Eden more like a spa than a marijuana dispensary."
According to El-Sissi, "We literally didn't spare any expense to build the Garden of Eden—to build that world-class experience that our customers had deserved for a long time here. That's something that we had envisioned for a long time."
Paradise: Rebuilt
Garden of Eden and Sand Studios worked for six months to refine the redesign plans, El-Sissi says. Construction took an additional eight months. "The end product is really beautiful, really efficient," El-Sissi says. "We're able to serve a lot of customers."
Today, the building's exterior is wrapped in ivy and "is very easy on the eyes," El-Sissi says. "The front door is a piece of art," he adds, mixing metal and glass to make a bold impression on customers as they enter the dispensary.
Inside the store, "we went from a two-room layout to a single room," El-Sissi says. "Now, when you walk into the front door of the dispensary, there's one continuous space that patients can go in—and we kind of broke down the barrier between intake and retail [for medical products]."
The dispensary's gray concrete floor blends well with the bronze-glazed glass displays. "There's all these different design elements that kind of pop out at you," El-Sissi says. "For the most part, the first time people walk in, they are really taken aback. You see people looking up, down, left and right, or looking at the lighting."
The color, lighting and decor choices were purposeful: "People want to go to beautiful spaces," El-Sissi explains. "So we wanted to attract people on the outside, but we also wanted people to feel good on the inside. The lighting selections, the color of the floor, the color of the glass, the countertops, all of those elements of design to make you feel good." Flat-screen TVs positioned throughout the space rotate among 12 channels that show information or menus. "We've used tech to enhance the experience," he says.
What's more, El-Sissi adds, "We owe it to our employees to feel really good. I wanted them to want to come to work and … be in a room filled with oxygen being produced by plants." As such, greenery fills the space via a large live wall across the room from the check-in counter.
Garden of Eden's changes weren't strictly aesthetic, though.
With a check-in process performed entirely on iPhones, Garden of Eden's patients can quickly obtain their medicine without hassle, El-Sissi says. Before transitioning to the smartphone system in 2017, Garden of Eden captured required patient information, such as names, purchases and dates of visits, by hand.
"As we got busier and busier, we needed to make those systems quicker, so we moved into scanning driver's licenses and capturing people's pictures so they didn't have to bring in their recommendation or their ID because we had that information stored in the system," El-Sissi says.
Garden of Eden, in its tech-friendly fashion, has also "designed our own inventory system that enables us to count the entirety of our inventory every day," El-Sissi says. "We've been able to count a ton of money—and a ton of our inventory value—in a very short period of time."
Its inventory system works a little like this: Using software called Treez, employees can "cycle-count" inventory and sort it by product and location, says El-Sissi. "Counting inventory daily allows management to reduce shrinkage and hold employees accountable for the inventory they came in contact with," he says.
These are merely a few examples of how Garden of Eden has evolved to become a forward-thinking and in-demand dispensary.
In addition to its modern-day check-in system and its inventory tracking method, Garden of Eden has also prioritized its digital presence. "If you take a look at our digital footprint—whether it's social media or on our website—you'll see we really care about our representation of our business digitally as much as we do physically," El-Sissi says.
On the company's website, prospective patients can take a 360-degree, virtual tour of the space before ever entering the building. "We've also started a pick-up program that if you preorder online, you don't have to wait when you come in," El-Sissi says. "We're trying to improve the efficiency of the store so customers don't have to have a waiting experience. … The more preorders that we [can] get, the quicker and shorter the wait times are. That's very important for us."
Whether they order online or come into the store to browse, El-Sissi says that Garden of Eden's patients do have preferred products. According to him, the store's most popular products include the Honeycomb Farm brand of flower, and vaporizers account for roughly 20 percent of total sales. When it comes to flower, "We don't buy flower in huge lots," says El-Sissi. Instead, "We buy small amounts and we keep the flowers for [short] stints and keep [the menu] constantly rotating." At any given time, Garden of Eden has about 24 cultivars on its menu, El-Sissi says, including some "classics" the dispensary always keeps in stock. But, as he explains, "The best cultivators tend to keep their offering relevant to the times as newer, more exclusive genetics command higher prices. When we find a cultivator who works well [with] the classics, we find shelf space for them."
Paradise: Expansion
Garden of Eden has evolved quickly, but the dispensary is far from finished. "We're really turning toward becoming the Apple store, where you sell your products and they are super high quality and they are well designed, well packaged, well thought out—and that's the bulk of our business. That's something we've been working toward."
It has also been working toward opening as many as four additional dispensaries. "By the end of this year, we'll have one in Union City, Calif.," El-Sissi says, describing it as a "campus" that will have its own indoor cultivation facility, distribution and retail "in a city where there's no other cannabis businesses open today," he says. "That [Union City location] is going to become Garden of Eden's hub and kind of the headquarters of our entire business." Additional locations are also planned for outside Fremont, Calif.; Ukiah, Calif.; and in Mendocino County, Calif.
"We're going to continue to seek licenses for retail and … continue to extend our retail footprint," El-Sissi says. "We already have enough infrastructure for us to do cultivation—outside cultivation and indoor cultivation—that we really could be growing into that [footprint]."
El-Sissi anticipates these new locations and operations will grow quickly—just as its original location did—without much marketing. "I think word of mouth goes a long way, especially when you're in an area [where] you may be the only game in town," he says. "It doesn't take a ton of spend to have really wide-reaching impact when you're selling quality product," and, of course, enjoying Garden of Eden's new design aesthetic.

On the Starz series Outlander, now in its fourth season, time-traveling 20th century doctor Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) and her 18th century Highlander husband Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) are trying to make a home for themselves in colonial America. In a world on the cusp of the American Revolution, succeeding in the rough and dangerous backcountry of North Carolina presents its own set of challenges, and Claire and Jamie must learn to navigate through slavery, co-existing with Native Americans, and the current British ruling class.
At the Los Angeles press day to discuss the new season, Collider was invited to participate in a small roundtable interview (with a couple other media outlets) with co-stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, who talked about the challenges specific to Season 4, navigating through a new and different world, the Fraser's Ridge homestead, figuring out who Jamie and Claire are now at this point in their relationship, how Brianna (Sophie Skelton) will affect things for them, the introduction of Stephen Bonnet (Ed Speleers), the lack of a kilt, and what you might see on the Season 4 blooper reel. Be aware that there are some spoilers discussed.
Question: Obviously, there are huge challenges with every season of this show because it is so epic in scope, but what were the challenges that were specific to this season, that you hadn't had to deal with before?
CAITRIONA BALFE: This season, more than any other, we've had a lot of blue screen. There's been a lot more CGI then before. It's interesting filming in Scotland which has so much rain and so much water. They don't have the expansive rivers that you would have in North Carolina. So, a lot of the river journey that we took in Episode 1 was CGI, and that's just a different thing. We've never really had that as much, in prior seasons.
SAM HEUGHAN: Also, this season, we're in America and there are a lot of issues there, politically. The first couple of episodes explore things from slavery to the treatment of Native Americans, which are things that we've never really dealt with. We saw slavery last season, but we didn't really deal with it. You just saw it. So, that's something that's different in Season 4.
And both of those things are effectively dealt with, in this season.
HEUGHAN: Yeah. They're there, in the books, but it was hard for us to navigate. As actors, we're also people in the modern world, so you have to try to get your head around how people in the past would think or behave. Fortunately, Jamie is very forward-thinking and wants no part of it. He's experienced being sort of a slave, or at least a prisoner, himself, so he's very humane when he sees people, like the slaves or the Native Americans, who he sees as very similar to himself. There's a lot understanding and empathy.
In a lot of ways, things are a little bit different because America is a very different place and we're seeing Claire and Jamie explore domesticity at Fraser's Ridge. How does this new life change your characters and their mind-sets?
BALFE: What's so lovely about this season is that you get to see Jamie and Claire in a very content, almost settled place. But then, that also comes with challenges. We've always had the drama of will they or won't they, in prior seasons, but I think there is only so far you can take that before it becomes redundant. After Claire has given up so much, and having both of them be apart for 20 years, and then finding each other again, you have to bring this relationship into a new phase. It was interesting for us to start developing this quieter point in their lives where they're just enjoying those throws of domesticity and everyday life, but also what happens in that more mature relationship.
HEUGHAN: Yeah, it's interesting to see how they work, as a couple. What are their habits? How do they interact, every day, around the house? The first half of the season, before Brianna comes, is one half of setting that up, as well. When she comes, the drama of the season takes a different direction.
Because Jamie and Claire are in a different stage of their relationship and they have a child together, how is their dynamic different from previous seasons, and how are you tapping into figuring out who they are, as an older couple?
BALFE: I think we've aged very gracefully. I don't think that I've had the opportunity to really explore Claire investing in her marriage, in this way. Her marriage to Frank was so compromised. When Jamie and Claire first got married, in prior seasons, there was so much external drive, trying to change the course of history. Being involved in all of these battles, they never got a moment to sit in and enjoy this marriage that they have. Claire has always been such a strong forward-looking drive, with her career and all of those things. This is a really nice time to invest in the more internal nurturing side of her, and to invest in being a wife, and to invest in creating a home for them. And then, when Brianna comes back into the story, it's about being a mother, but to an adult child, which is a very different thing. I think that they work really well together, in this dynamic.
HEUGHAN: Yeah, Jamie has always wanted to have an extended family or build a home, and he really does that, physically. He really throws himself into that. It's something that they have cherished and relished, as they've grown up and become more mature.
We know that Brianna will be doing some time-traveling this season, and that she and Jamie will finally meet. How does Brianna's eventual presence change how your characters act? Obviously, Jamie already really loves her, even though he's never met her, but she's so different from a young woman would be in his time, so will we see Jamie and Claire butt heads over how to deal with her?
BALFE: A little. I think the show has actually focused a lot on Jamie's relationship with Brianna, and Jamie's role as a father, this season.
HEUGHAN: It is definitely at the forefront for him. He's always wanted to be a father and have an influence on his children, and he's never had that opportunity before. He hasn't had an influence on her, and he's very aware that Frank has, so it does create some friction.
Would you say that time is still Jamie and Claire's biggest enemy, or is there something else that's bigger than that?
BALFE: That's a really good question. I've never thought of it, in that way.
HEUGHAN: It is, as time is marching onwards. We know that this battle is coming, and we know that they're going to have to choose a side. Since Season 1, it's been a race against time

Prayer for all His Ministries, Ministers and Servant Leaders
ABBA FATHER, In the mighty Name of Jesus/Yeshua I ask you for those living in rebellion, and those who do not want to listen to You when you are speaking through your chosen instruments, that You will remove the scales from their eyes and soften their hearts.
I speak in Jesus/Yeshua`s Name to Jezebel and her dark powers, her witchcraft, her web of lies and to swindle, deceit, duplicity, bamboozle, uncleanness, dirtiness, her call to bring confusion and misunderstanding and mis-communication, that this dark power that is searching for war and for lies and hatred, AT THIS VERY MOMENT will be powerless!
I declare in Jesus Name that truth will be set free!
All the situations where lies have been infiltrated where confusion came in, TRUTH will come RIGHT NOW!
I pray for all ministries all servant leaders who are infected by this evil spirit who have been plagued who have been hurt who have been falsely malicious, vicious, wicked accused, that You Father will set things straight and their name and ministries will recover and will be restored!
I speak to all strongholds that try to block the unity out of jealousy and hatred you will fall right now as I speak. It will be exposed it will be recognized. Amen.
I speak and proclaim open doors and new friendships, specially for the leaders in lonely positions. I speak open doors to bring the gospel opportunities to travel opportunities to speak truth!
I speak new courage and healing for those servants who are tiered and weary and at the brink of quieting!
I speak healing and restoration over the marriages which are cursed!
I am calling out that every wall will fall down at this moment and all the weapons will fall down. Hands will reach out toward each other and the UNITY IN HIS SPIRIT will be the outcome. Amen!
Blessings and Shalom over you!

~ Some simple concepts to converse ~
Basic breakdown of Hyro-Electric Damns.
Now imagine, Siphone or pump outlet of water back to the feed reservoir: A Closed Looped System.
Handy, They are starting think. Now add a personal size Hydrogen generator or a little generator on the bike.
More Ingenuity utilizing a speed bike
for gearing to ramp up the RPM on the generator, & utilized siphoning to feed the water wheel on the bike.
HYDROGEN CAR powered by solar.
You can power it with the vehicles battery as well!
There are a multitude of variations in which one can produce energy from water. In the way they power the system, the type of power utilized from the water, etc. One thing we haven't been doing a lot of is linking the different studies/science's together whether for energy, health, or all of life, as everything is connected.

~ Your AD Here! ~
Mr Joseph Newman Invent a water generator utilizing the electromagnetism of the water.
They even admitted it worked & still crushed it!
it ran off voltage & put out a massive amount of Amps.

- Viktor Schaubeger - The Nicola Tesla of Water & Nature!
"More energy is encapsulated in every drop of good spring water than an average-sized PowerStation is presently able to produce". "Natural phenomena undisturbed by man point the way to the realization of a new technique. One needs a keen sense of observation. We must understand Nature before we can adapt its way of working to our needs". Viktor was a visionary, he appreciated, observed comprehended & copied Nature.

the research is showing that the pyramid power is a natural Earth/Atmospheric generator. consensus is that there are multiple layers, functions, & systems in play within the pyramids. Like EZ water, the pyramids utilizing the sun to power/ionize, both within the pyramid & the waters below. the (-) negative charged water from the sun, reacts and amplifies with the quartz/silica surrounding the water aquifers under the pyramids & act as a battery for after the sun sets. as well as the pyramid itself mimicking that process concentrates & focus the energy the geometric shape.

From Nuno Madeira and Sport Lisboa e Benfica comes this insanely awesome 360 video.360 eagle fly of the football team winner here in Portugal. Everything was hard here. Setting up the eagle, stabilize, some risks and a lot of fails in the process to the final shot, nothing here is possible to control. I just saw 1 example done before with a eagle in Scotland and was my reference. In my case I decided to stabilize the horizon rather than the eagle. Stabilized in the great AVP near frame to frame.
I hope that you are ready for your daily fix of VR juice. Drink it up, there will be a new one tomorrow.
What is 360 VR Video?
360 video is a video that is recorded in all directions at the same time with multiple cameras. The videos are stitched together either internally in the camera or externally using special software.
It then forms one spherical video that is controlled by the viewer, enabling them to look up, down, right or left at their discretion.
Is 360 Video Virtual Reality?
I want you to be the judge.
How are you watching your 360 VR Video?
Are you watching on your PC?
Is it Facebook? YouTube? Veer.TV ?
Or better still, are you using your Samsung Galaxy Smartphone with your Samsung Gear VR Headset?
Or are you using another smartphone with a Google Cardboard?
Leave a comment below. Let us know what you like or don't like. If you have seen a 360 VR video that you think is awesome, tell us, and we will feature it.

"And it shall be, when he is guilty in any of these matters, that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing."
Leviticus 5:5
The LORD really wants us to confess to Him, verbally tell Him when we blow it! Not that He doesn't already know or see what we do.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:9
Remember the LORD is forgiving, so let us be open and honest with Him, not holding on to things that just bring us down!
"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double – minded."
James 4:8
Today let's talk to the LORD, tell Him our needs and confess our deeds, knowing He is faithful and just to forgive! Remember we can't hide anything from Him, so let's confess and talk to the LORD who is calling you! Have a blessed day in Him!

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth. In London, 70 years ago during the reign of George VI, Heads of Government from Australia, Britain, Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and Canada's Secretary of State for External Affairs came together to discuss the future of 'the Commonwealth.' Together on 26 April, they signed 'The London Declaration' - the beginning of a network of member countries sharing a set of principles and values. The Queen was 26 years old when she became Head of the Commonwealth and has made more than 200 visits to Commonwealth countries. Her Majesty is also Sovereign of 15 Commonwealth realms in addition to the UK. Swipe to see a few images of The Queen's earliest visits around the Commonwealth: Her Majesty meets Samoan Scouts in Timaru, New Zealand (1954) The Duke of Edinburgh arrive in Jamaica (1953), visiting Fiji (1953), and receiving flowers in Tonga (1953), in Toronto, Canada (1959), inspecting a Naval Guard of Honour in Tasmania (1954) and receiving flowers from Beata Kabasaindi in Uganda (1954).

I was looking for a way to get myself, both body and spirit, organized and when my pintrest and tumblr feed kept on having personal Journaling pictures and videos I got in to it and now almost a year later I am seeing the benefit of it.
Did I say it's VERY therapeutic!!!!
My life is less messy than before, (I am still learning lol). The putting down of what needs to be done and when has me kicking life's butt! (Most part of it).
I can finally beat deadlines and definitely do more than what I used to do before plus the bonus of getting to write, pen and paper, that's if you love the whole idea of writing on paper. If you are not into the whole writing thing you can get an app, there's like a whole bunch of them on play store.
A simple rulled book was my pick, I mean I get to choose the layout, do you know how fun that is. I CAN CHANGE THE LAYOUT EACH MONTH!!
If I was to advice you, get yourself journling and you won't regret it three months down the line. Just get the information you need so as to get started and I have to warn you, you might not like it at first.
If you want to see my layout comment down bellow.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
While 3D printing is gaining more exposure within the fashion industry, especially with jewelry, little has yet to been done. Fashion designers like Iris Van Herpen are already using this technology but only on industrial machines and with non-flexible materials.
After an internship at Threeasfour, where she discovered 3D printing, and an inspiring trip to Burning Man, Danit started her creative process. She wanted to create a material letting each and everyone decide their own design.
The beginning of her nine-month creative thinking process came from a painting by Eugène Delacroix called 'Liberty Leading the People.' More than a simple inspiration, it was a statement. Helped by the Tel-Aviv based 3D printing 'geeks' community, TechFactoryPlus Lab and the XLN community, she started her research with PLA, a hard and breakable structure. She was not getting any results due to the inflexibility of the material. She needed something soft and strong yet flexible. Finally, she discovered Filaflex filaments that, when combined with her Witbox FDM printer, allowed her to create a 'lace like fabric.' Once she figured out how to print her designs, she needed to battle against time. It took her 2,000 hours to print her entire five-piece collection from A4-sized sheets. One printer was not enough; the printer company sponsored her project, and her studio became fast a little printing industry.
Danit's idea is to encourage and inspire other designers interested in 3D printing, so she posted a step-by-step description on an Instagram account. Directly seduced by her idea, the Spanish-based Filaflex company decided to help her and offered spools of their product. She was now able to create her first piece, a perfecto-inspired jacket called 'La liberté.' Each design was broken down into shapes using computer software called Optitex. She then used another software called 'Blender' to create 3D files. In order to make the structure more interesting, she started experimenting with different types of patterns. Influenced by Andreas Bastian's Mesostructured Cellular patterns and creating her own, she gave more structure and depth to the fabric. Once she printed all the pieces, she then assembled them — like a puzzle — with super glue.
And because she wanted her collection to be 100% 3D printed, all accessories and shoes were printed the same way. She downloaded an open-source file from designer Michele Badia and added her personal touch to the red stiletto heels.
Danit's dream is that, in the near future, people will be able to purchase and download files available online and print their own outfits straight from home. Just graduated, she is going on tour with her collection, from New York to Europe, to share her experience. While she is waiting for the technology to evolve and the printers to go faster, she will advise fashion companies and create her own line mixing 3D printing with actual fabric.
No doubt she is an inspiration for a change in the fashion world.
The future of fashion is here. Join the revolution of Danit Peleg!

Whitney Port drops life advice at the MOA
Getting life advice from a reality TV star doesn't make a lot of sense. But in the case of Whitney Port, formerly of The Hills and The City, life advice is totally up her alley. This past Saturday, the MTV sweetheart stopped by the Mall of America to sign copies of her new book, True Whit, a guide to navigating through your twenties. In between camera phone pictures and tweenage screams, Whitney talked with City Pages about her book and life after reality TV.
[jump] City Pages: So how is the book tour going so far?
Whitney Port: It's been so great! We've had some problems with the storms and everything, but just getting out and meeting everyone has been really fun.
CP: The book itself is all about navigating through your twenties. Did you find it hard to write a book like this, seeing as how most of your readers have watched you grow up over the past several years on TV?
WP: The book is definitely different because it's more of a behind-the-scenes look. On the show you watched me go through my twenties in terms of my career and launching my fashion line and my personal relationships on a surface level, but the stuff I talk about in the book goes much deeper than that. It was nice because it let me portray my life the way I wanted to, as opposed to what producers wanted my life to seem like.
CP: A big part of True Whit is you sharing your life experiences and helping readers to learn from those stories. So what's something that you've done in your life that you wish you could do over or go back and change?
WP: For me personally, the biggest thing was allowing some stuff to appear on camera that I probably wish I hadn't. But the other thing was when I went on job interviews and I didn't really feel all that well versed or prepared for all of the questions I might get. Looking back on it, I do regret not being more prepared when I would go into those interviews.
CP: Talking about interviews, what's a question you've gotten that you were really unprepared for or taken back by?
WP: The question that I always get that I'm never really sure how to answer is where I'm going to be or what I'm going to be doing in five or 10 years. That's a daunting question because in your twenties I don't think any of us really know the answer and that's the pressure of it all. I think we get caught up in worrying about how every decision we make right now is going to make or break our future, so I get really stumped when it comes to that question. Part of this book is really about that question itself, and how we need to just take things day by day.
CP: So where do you see yourself in five or 10 years?
WP: I have no idea! I know for sure I'll still have my clothing line because that's always what I wanted to do, even before the television show. Location-wise, I'll probably be in Los Angeles since that's where I grew up. Other than that, I feel like it's all up in the air and I feel like it's okay to be that way.
CP: What's the one misconception about you that you hope this book will help to clear up?
WP: I think that some people may have thought I wasn't very assertive and maybe a little air-heady, which I think is easy to take away when you're watching the show. I think that too when I watch myself, which is a result of having producers kind of controlling the situation and portraying me like the victim. So I do hope that people realize that I have something to say--something useful at that--and that I'm really a strong, young woman.

Saw several interesting 70s vehicles on Craigslist tonight, figured I'd share 'em. Despite growing up in that decade, I know diddly/squat about these, so if you think they're junk, well, you're probably right!
First, holy shit, I need to text David Tracy. Prize quote from this one: "worked a route last sat".
The lack of additional photos is worrisome, but man...
Also desperately needing more photos, this 1970 Bronco looks mighty sweet. Yes, at 28k it's approaching ICON price without the corresponding quality (probably), but I'm just here for the pretty pictures.
Sticking with the 4x4 theme (yes, I know the DJ isn't a 4x4 but get off my lawn), here's a 1973 J20. And very close to me. This one will be tough to resist, but I can't afford it anyway, thankfully.
There are several 1970s CJs for sale, but I think I've done enough Jeep evangelism for the moment, so instead, here's a lovely 1972 FJ40 complete with a new wench. (I didn't think selling women on Craigslist was still legal, but who am I to say?)
You may remember the 1977 Fiat 124 I posted a few days ago; here's a 1977 Triumph Spitfire to join it in a very cool garage which I sadly don't own.
And one more convertible, because they are my catnip:

Scolopendra gigantea, or the Amazonian Giant Centipede; isn't the only deadliest Scolopendra living in South America. The Death Crawler (named after it's deadly reputation) is a large, venomous centipede that is considered to be the most feared arthropod in the Amazon. Death Crawlers can reach up to three feet by adulthood but, there are some cases in which the insect can grow up to five or six feet. They're both silent, and quick, which in the field of Monstrology; is a deadly combination, and are capable of stalking their prey from almost anywhere in their habitat (includes the canopy, underneath the earth in tunnels, and even over top water). Prey varies on size but, the arthropod has been reported to kill, and consume monkeys, caiman, capybara, and even humans. Death Crawlers have a few ways to attack like for example, if the prey is a caiman in the water; the large centipede would silently approach it's prey before constantly biting and wrapping it's body around the surprised meal. Death Crawlers, like all centipedes; have the ability to bite more than once which releases more venom into the poor creature attacked. They're also known (like in the example mentioned above) to wrap their bodies constantly around their prey in order to deliver more effective bites. This will only happen if the animal is smaller than its prey or the animal needs to quickly overpower it's prey to prevent escape.
Death Crawler venom, like their smaller cousins; is five times the dosage to help bring down larger prey. Symptoms of a Death Crawler bite vary upon each individual but, they usually start with severe pain, chills, weakness, fever, and finally death. Death Crawlers are creatures which must be totally respected while travelling through their territories. These large centipedes are known to be extremely aggressive and must not be taken as a joke because these creatures will attack, kill, and even consume you. If a Death Crawler crosses your path; do not run because they can easily catch up to you, and never provoke it to attack. Holding still and not making any noise will definately save your life. Anti-venom, if bitten; is possible but, must get ahold of it within a few hours before death depending on how many times the centipede has bitten you. Killing a Death Crawler is quite easy but, setting on fire is usually the best way to exterminate one. Having one as a pet isn't the best idea but, is possible.
Handling a Death Crawler (shown above) is never a bright idea due to their large size, strength, quickness, and ofcourse it's fatal venom.

The Rake: Misidentified Ghouls or Something Else?
Ghouls are one of the world's most dangerous and common undead predators ever to walk the Earth, alongside the zombie and vampire species. Ghouls first originated from the Middle East before spreading to the rest of the world in different shapes and forms. The Ghoul family tree consists of four species: the shape-shifting Ghoul that scurries along graveyards/deserts searching for prey, the Forest Ghoul which lives mainly in the canopy, the Ghast which is like a 'super-ghoul', and the Invunche; which are large deformed and vicious ghouls found in Chile. Now there may be another species out there, hiding within the deepest, darkest parts of North America's woods. The Rake is a pale, ghoul-like creature with long, sharp claws (hence the name due to the claw's appearance to be quite similar toward the gardening tool of the same name) and nothing really is known about these creatures. The only things that are known by Monstrologists is that it's appearance is almost similar toward the Forest Ghoul (which is sometimes mistaken for) from a distance until the claws come into view. The Rake is also very dangerous, predatory, and are silent as they stalk their prey. Rakes only attack when their prey is unaware of their presences (usually as it's victim is asleep) before goring and tearing the poor creature. It is theorized by Monstrologists that the Rake, like the Phase Spider, can 'teleport' itself into another dimension to allow the creature to easily stalk and hide form their prey before committing the final blow. Killing a Rake is unknown but, it is logical if someone can get a clean shot before it escapes out of sight and out of our own plane.
Above is an illustration of a Rake, which is almost human-like; that makes this creature extremely unpredictable and frightning.

The Joystealer: Elf-like Seducers
The Joystealer is an elf-like creature whom feeds off emotions from their victims and are very seductive into doing so. Joystealers are elf-like in appearance but, have extremely pale skin (sometimes with a purplish tint) with long hair, and seem androgynous at first glance. The only way to tell between these creatures and elves are their gem-like, pupil-less eyes which seems to "hypnotize" their unexpected prey. Mixing traits with psychic vampires (the way they feed), elves (appearance), and even succubi (seductive abilities); this is a species that nobody wants to confront. Their favorite prey are humans and elves whom don't see through their tricks and seductive techniques. Joystealers are usually found in urban areas (especially near waterfronts and slums) where shelter, food, and a water source is provided for them. Prostitution is the most common way both genders seem to hunt by luring both men and/or women of both races into traps. Being solitary hunters, Joystealers don't occasionally join together unless it's an orgy-type party. There are many ways on killing a Joystealer such as shooting, setting on fire, brutally beating, etc... but, the most effective way is starving it to death. Saying 'no' and ignoring the predator's advances is the most common way to get rid of a Joystealer due to the creature's nature. Another effective way is staying away from their hunting grounds with a crowd of people. Joystealers, though persistent; tend to stay out of sight during the day and crowded areas.
Joystealers (above) are related to fey folk such as fairies, pixies, and elves.

-Ruple leads the OAC in shots taken (43) and is second in goals (9) and points (22) and fourth in assists (4)
-Junior Academic All-OAC forward Cannon Dees (Berea/Berea-Midpark) is third in the conference with his team-leading five assists
-Head Coach Reid Ayers' take: "We're able to see a transfer from what we do in training to our games. In recent games, we've seen glimmers of some really good stuff but we've also had some letdowns. We just need to be more consistent with our performance in game."
Up Next
-The Yellow Jackets finish up non-conference play on the road before returning home to open up OAC action. "The guys are looking forward to starting conference play," Ayers said. "They're excited to get that phase of the season started."
-Wednesday, Sept. 26 at Grove City (Pa.) College (5-1-2)-> Last season, BW trailed Grove City 2-0 before battling back to tie the game in the 81st minute, eventually ending in a 2-2 double overtime tie. "Every year, you know what you're going to get with Grove City. They're organized and are going to work very hard. They're a difficult team to play against. It'll be a great final game before conference play because all the things we need to work on are going to be on display," said Ayers.
-Saturday, Sept. 29, vs. Capital (6-1)-> Capital was an NCAA Tournament team last season and has been off to a strong start this fall. "Capital is a team that's seasoned, a quality team all across the board. They're lethal at restarts so we have to limit those opportunities. It's a very healthy test to open conference play," Ayers said.
-Focus for the week: Put together a complete game. "Against two regionally ranked teams, we have to perform at a high level for longer periods of time," Ayers said. "The level of competition is going to be really good and we're going to find out a lot about ourselves."

Easy for Justin Bieber to sing, not so easy to do. I'm so happy to be writing this post for crosswordsnotwires on self-love, because I think that it's a really important topic to think about and it often means different things to different people.
We live in a stressed-out world, exposed to constant messages of bigger, better, faster. We're told that we should look a certain way and act a certain way, and anything outside of that can be seen as 'wrong'. Is it any wonder that we find it difficult to care about ourselves, and to care for ourselves, in the face of that?
Now when I'm talking about self-love I don't mean narcissism, that's something different – and I'd argue that most people have the opposite problem to this in that they tend to downplay their achievements and try not to focus on the good things about themselves. Loving yourself isn't about thinking you're fantastic all the time; it's about caring enough about yourself to attend to your needs. And if you can attend to your own needs, you can look after someone else as well – because it's often important to be able to love yourself before you try to love someone else. Here are a few different ways that I think you can show yourself some love:
• Get good at the basics – first of all, make sure you've got the basics covered. Are you drinking enough water? Eaten something good today? Did you get enough sleep last night? Have you seen something that made you smile today? Have you moved your body in a way that makes you feel good? All of these things might sound silly, but treating your body kindly can be a good way of showing it that you care. You are worthy of this kind of care – I know that to be true, because everybody is.
• Spend time with people who care about you – this can be a difficult one when you're struggling to care about yourself, but surrounding yourself with people who genuinely have your best interests at heart can be really helpful. They can bring out the best in you, and help you to realise that they love you for who you are – and if they can do that, so can you.
• Stop comparing yourself to other people – I know, instagram is right there and it's so tempting, but you know by now that you're not looking at a version of reality. It's largely false, and not something that you can ever achieve. The people who post "inspirational" pictures can barely achieve it most of the time! Step away from the negative comparisons, they can only do you harm.
• Write down the good stuff – instead of comparing yourself negatively to others, spend time thinking about what you're good at instead. You might be brilliant at writing, or making people laugh, or a million other things. If you're struggling to think of things, ask the people from bullet point two – I bet they can help you to think of a really long list.
• Practice being kind to others – we're all good at gossiping and being a bit snippy from time to time, but what would the world be like if we did that less? Try spending a day refraining from gossip, and saying one nice thing to everyone that you talk to. It might be easy, or it might surprise you at how difficult it is, and that's useful information to have.
• Just do it – I bet there's something that you're putting off until you are fitter, or thinner, or stronger, isn't there? We're so used to saying that we'll do things "later" that we often don't end up doing them. But if it's something that you know you want to do, and that you'll enjoy, sometimes we have to do it as we are. I promise you, losing five pounds won't mean that you'll enjoy your wedding any more – it will be the last thing on your mind. Practicing doing things as you are now will help you to realise that you're enough, and that you deserve to enjoy your life in this moment, not the next.
• Look at the darkness – we all do things that we're not proud of. We've all said things we didn't mean, or behaved in ways that make us feel icky, but it's important to embrace that part of ourselves. Now, I don't mean saying "that's just the way I am, like it or not!" because that means that you continue to hurt others and not take responsibility for your actions, but acknowledging that you have a part of you that isn't always the best of you is helpful because it allows you to change. It also allows you to love yourself unconditionally – even if you can get angry, or upset. Those are normal human emotions, and it's okay to feel them sometimes.
• See a therapist – if the things that you tell yourself are always negative, and you tend to beat yourself up about little things, it might be that the things above don't help. It can be useful to meet with a therapist to talk through how you feel about yourself, as they will have lots of different ways to help you to manage those difficult thoughts. It's not always easy to find someone who you feel comfortable talking to, but it is worth it – you're allowed to shop around a bit to find the right person to help you.
Ultimately, loving yourself isn't something that just happens once and then you're good for life. It's a process made of lots of little steps as you go through the world, and it takes a lot of time and practice to make sure that the difficult things that happen don't knock your belief in yourself. If you can continue to love yourself in the face of difficult life situations, then you'll know that you're doing well.

Parsvnath in talks with international retail chains for JV3 min read . Updated: 27 Nov 2007, 12:19 AM IST
Parsvnath in talks with international retail chains for JV
New Delhi: New Delhi-based real estate developer, Parsvnath Developers Ltd, India's fourth largest, is in talks with international retail chains for a joint venture (JV) in an effort to deploy its funds and leverage its land bank profitably.
Parsvnath is looking for a retail partner to provide mostly back-end support as it has no expertise in this area. It wants a partner that will provide the supply chain logistics or science involved in transporting goods from the place of origin to the shop floor—often cited as the weakest link in organized retailing in India. Overseas retailers, facing a slowdown and intensifying competition in their home markets, have been looking to tap into Indian wallets as more people enter the middle-class bracket in an economy growing at more than 9% a year.
"We plan to get into retail business in the next one year or even sooner," Pradeep Jain, Chairman, Parsvnath Developers said. Jain declined to comment on the companies Parsvnath is talking to. The company has formed a subsidiary called Parsvnath Retail for this.
Parsvnath Developers is looking at holding a majority stake in the joint venture, Jain said. The world's No. 2 retailer, Carrefour SA, last week said it plans a fully-owned cash and carry business in India even as the French retailer is in talks with three Indian firms to run Carrefour brand of franchisee stores. Both Parsvnath and Carrefour declined comment on whether they are in talks with each other.
Parsvnath is one of Indian developers with a sizeable chunk of retail real estate—an important attraction for foreign retail firms, especially since the unprecedented retail rush in the country has pushed rentals to an all time high, slicing margins in a business that already works on razor thin margins and large volumes.
Parsvnath currently has five million sq. ft of retail space and the company is planning to increase it to 30 million sq. ft by building dozens of malls.
Parsvnath is also joining the ranks of developers bidding for airport management and modernization projects and is in advanced stage of talks with an international airport operator to jointly bid for projects in India. Parsvnath is looking at forming a joint venture with the airport operator. The company would manage the real estate, with the airport operator bringing in its expertise in airport design and development. "We will tie up with a big player," Jain said, adding that he cannot name the player till the deal is finalized.
Parsvnath is the latest among several non-retail companies to announce their entry into India's $300 billion (Rs11.88 trillion) annual retail market. Gurgaon-based retail consulting firm Technopack Advisors Pvt. Ltd said with business houses such as Reliance Industries Ltd, the Aditya Birla Group, Tata group and Bharti Enterprises riding the retail bandwagon, the size of the organized market is expected to jump from current level of about 3-25% of the overall retail market,which is estimated to touch $800 billion in revenues the next ten years.
The world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has teamed up with Bharti for a 50:50 cash and carry venture that is expected to kick-start its wholesale hypermarkets early next year.
Separately, Wal-Mart will assist Bharti in its retail business that plans to sell to the burgeoning Indian consumers through a host of stores from grocery outlets to hypermarkets. Foreign firms such as Wal Mart are barred from selling multiple brands to individual consumers directly in India.
Parsvnath plans to build 30 malls in the country. This includes seven malls which Parsvnath will build on land near metro stations which will be leased to Parsvnath by the rail authorities on a build-operate-and-transfer basis. Parsvnath has 191.08 million sq. ft of area under development.
Leading real estate developers such as DLF Ltd and Unitech Ltd have already said that they plan to bid for airport modernization projects.
While DLF has tied up with Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide, owner and manager of the Frankfurt Airport, to bid for projects, Unitech is in talks with Aéroports de Paris, the French airport operator which manages most of the important airports in France. The government is in the process of modernizing and redeveloping 35 airports to ease the traffic congestion in the existing airports.

Pre-employment ScreeningGet off to a good start
Building a strong and sustainable workforce begins with ensuring you hire healthy
and physically competent people.
Your employees are an essential component to propelling your business forward and remaining competitive. An injured worker can impact your operation's productivity and financial standing. Carrying out pre-employment screening as part of your recruitment process is an effective way of improving safety performance in the workplace and mitigating risks.
How it works
Are your candidates physically capable to perform the specific duties of the role safely and efficiently? When assessing individuals, we don't just take into account their pre-existing medical conditions and history, we look closely at an individual's physical abilities against the requirements of the job.
We tailor assessments to simulate the physical demands relevant to your workplace. This may include observing flexibility, strength, manual handling and driver fatigue.
Following the evaluation, we will provide you with a comprehensive report summarising the candidate's physical ability and any risk factors (if applicable), to assist you with your recruitment.
Promoting safety in your recruitment process has a number of benefits:
- Ensures the staff you recruit are healthy and functionally capable of handling the demands of the job – resulting in less injuries
- Improved productivity and efficiency – minimised risk and likelihood of injury or illnesses
- Save time and money recruiting the right people
- Provides a history of pre-employment abilities, (useful against false claims of injury)
- Determines injury risks of an individual prior to employment
- Employers have the opportunity to address any risks or injuries with candidates, and if successful, work together to overcome this.
To get your recruitment underway with a pre-employment screening, contact our local team or call us on (08) 9622 5940.

history of the phenomenon last year on the occasion of its fifth anniversary.
I first took part in a TCM Party on December 22 2011. I am not sure why I did not participate earlier, although it is quite possible I did not hear about it until it had been around for a few months. At any rate, I had live tweeted movies on Turner Classic Movies before. Regardless, I chose a good time to begin live tweeting with TCM Party. That night as part of the TCM Party, I live tweeted The Thin Man (1934), After the Thin Man (1936), and Another Thin Man (1939). Turner Classic Movies was showing all of the "Thin Man" movies that night, but after Another Thin Man I was tired and had to go to bed. Regardless, the experience was so much fun that I was hooked on TCM Parties.
Indeed, I have fond memories of many of the TCM Parties that I have participated in. One of my best memories is from March 2012 when Turner Classic Movies was showing British New Wave movies every Monday. I participated in TCM Parties for many of those movies, including Room at the Top (1959), Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), A Kind of Loving (1962), and Billy Liar (1963). Although I don't believe I was the official host of the British New Wave movies airing in March 2012, I tweeted trivia about them and was on hand to translate the Northern accents in the films (for some reason many of my fellow Americans have difficulty understanding them). The first TCM Party I officially hosted was also a British film--Bedazzled.
Following Bedazzled I would host many TCM Parties. In fact, I believe I am the default host for A Hard Day's Night (1964). While I have fond memories of the first time I hosted it, which was also the first time Turner Classic Movies ever aired it, my favourite TCM Party for A Hard Day's Night was on the occasion that I was a Fan Favourite on TCM introducing the movie with Ben Mankiewicz. It was a bit surreal, hearing my own voice on the television while I was tweeting about the movie on Twitter!
Of course, the TCM Parties I seem to remember the best are those that I did not host. I remember that on February 1 2014 Turner Classic Movies showed Oscar nominees from 1939, widely regarded as the greatest year in the history of American cinema, as part of their 31 Days of Oscar. I spent much of the day in TCM Parties for Wuthering Heights, The Wizard of Oz, and Gone with the Wind.
I also have fond memories of each October when Turner Classic Movies shows horror movies. I have been the host for TCM Parties for many of the Hammer horrors. While I love the old Universal horror movies, I must confess most of my favourite horror movies were produced by Hammer Films. It always fun live tweeting to The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Dracula (1958), The Mummy (1960), and so on. Of course, I always love live tweeting William Castle's movies as well. They are often very goofy and a lot of fun. In fact, my all time favourite tweet is one I made last year when TCM showed Homicidal (1961). I would reveal the tweet to you, but I fear it would spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it!
While I have enjoyed every TCM Party for A Hard Day's Night and the many ones for Hammer Horrors, my all time favourite TCM Party remains one for The Loved One (1965). In May 2013 Turner Classic Movies aired a series called Second Looks on Friday nights, hosted by Illeana Douglas. They aired The Loved One on May 24. For those unfamiliar with The Loved One, it is an outrageous Sixties comedy in the vein of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). Its tagline was "the motion picture with something to offend everyone!". Quite naturally, then, The Loved One is a very fun movie to live tweet. It was made even more fun by the fact that Illeana Douglas live tweeted along with us. I do believe at one point she was sent to "Twitter jail" for tweeting too much!
Of course, beyond the many fond memories I have of the TCM Parties that I have participated in are the many dear friends I have made through TCM Party. I had several classic film buff friends before I began taking part in TCM Parties, but after TCM Party the number grew substantially. My life has then been enriched a good deal by TCM Party. I hope it continues for many more years!
