David Richard Cunliffe (born 30 April 1963) is a New Zealand politician and former Leader of the New Zealand Labour Party. He is the sitting Member of Parliament (MP) for New Lynn, West Auckland. He served as the Minister of Health, Minister for Communications and Information Technology and Minister of Immigration, as well as a range of associate economic portfolios for the Fifth Labour Government of New Zealand from October 2007 until November 2008.
After the defeat of the Labour Party in the 2008 general election, and the resignation of Helen Clark as the party leader, Cunliffe was appointed the party's finance spokesman and number three on the front bench.[2] After Labour lost the 2011 general election and Phil Goff stood down as party leader, Cunliffe ran for the leadership, but narrowly lost to David Shearer.
On 26 August 2013, Cunliffe announced a second leadership bid after David Shearer's departure from the leadership and was elected on 15 September 2013. Following Labour's defeat at the general election in September 2014, he resigned as leader of the Labour Party.[3]
On 1 November 2016, Labour leader Andrew Little announced that Cunliffe would not seek re-election at the 2017 general election, and would likely step down late in 2017 to avoid triggering a by-election in New Lynn.[4]

Early life[edit]
Cunliffe was born in Te Aroha on 30 April 1963.[5] His family moved to Te Kuiti, then to Pleasant Point. His father, Bill, an Anglican minister, was active in the Labour Party.[6] As a teenager he won a scholarship to study the International Baccalaureate at the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales. Cunliffe studied politics at the University of Otago, where he was a member of the Otago University Debating Society, and gained a BA with first-class honours. He worked as a diplomat from 1987 to 1994 and gained a Diploma in Social Sciences (Distinction) in economics from Massey University in 1993. He was a Fulbright Scholar and Kennedy Memorial Fellow at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, including some courses at Harvard Business and Law School in 1994 and 1995, earning a Master of Public Administration. He worked as a management consultant with The Boston Consulting Group in Auckland from 1995 to 1999.[7]

Cunliffe was first elected to Parliament in the 1999 election, standing as the Labour candidate for the Titirangi seat. Since the 2002 election he has represented the seat of New Lynn. At the 2005 election, Cunliffe was returned with 18,087 votes (8,000 more than his nearest opponent) or 55% of the electorate vote.[8] He retained his seat in the 2008, 2011 and 2014 general election.
Cabinet minister[edit]
Cunliffe was a member of the Cabinet of New Zealand as the Minister of Health, and Minister for Communications and Information Technology in the Fifth Labour Government until Labour lost the election in 2008.
In the 2002–2005 Parliament he held the ICT portfolios and was Associate Minister of Finance and Revenue, after previously serving as Parliamentary Private Secretary for Finance and Commerce.
During his first term (1999–2002) he served as Chair of the Commerce Select Committee, and sat on the Finance and Expenditure and Regulations Review select committees.
In 2006, in his previous role as Immigration Minister, he announced a major review of the Immigration Act 1987.[9] As Minister for Communications and Information Technology he announced extensive pro-competitive reform of the telcommunications sector, including local loop unbundling and operational separation of then Telecom New Zealand.[10]
In May 2006 Cunliffe was referred to the Securities Commission by the NZX for commenting on Telecom's future dividend plans,[11] causing Telecom's stock price to drop. The Securities Commission found that no law had been breached and no action was taken.[12]
On 30 June 2008 Cunliffe was conferred the title of Honorary Fellow of the NZCS (HFNZCS) by the New Zealand Computer Society, the professional body of the ICT profession in recognition of his significant contribution to the ICT sector.[13][14]

In February 2008, as the Minister of Health, Cunliffe dismissed the Hawke's Bay District Health Board over political, monetary and conflict of interest troubles.[15] Napier Mayor Barbara Arnott and a number of members of the district voiced opposition to Cunliffe's move as many of the board members were democratically elected.[16] Following the release of a Health Ministry-commissioned independent report into the matter, Cunliffe referred to the board as "nasty little nest of self-perpetuating provincial elites".[17]
In Opposition (2008–present)[edit]
After the 2008 general election defeat of the Labour Party, Cunliffe was made Labour's spokesman for Finance, shadowing National's Finance Minister, Bill English. Cunliffe had been touted as a future leader of the party, and party insiders had suggested he seriously considered challenging Phil Goff as leader in the aftermath of the 2008 election. Speculation of a leadership challenge again arose during the June 2010 expenses scandal and again after the "Cartergate" affair.
After Labour lost the 2011 general election and Goff stood down, Cunliffe ran for the party leadership with Nanaia Mahuta on a ticket for deputy leader. Grant Robertson and David Parker also entered the race, but subsequently backed David Shearer, who won the high-profile race. Robertson became Deputy Leader, while Parker took Cunliffe's finance spokesmanship. Shearer retained Cunliffe in a senior role on the front bench, with the Economic Development and Associate Finance roles.[18]
In November 2012 during a Labour Party conference, there was much media speculation Cunliffe would launch a challenge against David Shearer for leadership of the party.[19] On the morning of 19 November, Cunliffe confirmed he was not challenging Shearer, and would indeed back him if a vote was taken.[20] Labour Chief Whip Chris Hipkins publicly refuted that Cunliffe had not been making a bid for the leadership over the conference weekend, and stated that fellow caucus members were frustrated with Cunliffe's behaviour.[21]
On 20 November 2012, Shearer sacked Cunliffe as economic development spokesman, and demoted him to the back bench, citing Cunliffe's inability to express his support for Shearer's leadership at the Labour Party Conference. Cunliffe denied that he had been disloyal. Cunliffe was left with no spokesmanships.[22] In February 2013 Shearer reshuffled his caucus lineup. Cunliffe was given the Revenue portfolio, but was not promoted back into the shadow cabinet.[23]
Labour Party leadership contest[edit]
On 22 August 2013, Shearer announced his resignation as leader of the Labour Party, fuelling speculation that Cunliffe would make another bid for the leadership. Cunliffe did not confirm his candidacy immediately, saying to the press in Parliament that same day: "I am going to be taking the next few days to consult with my family, with colleagues and with party supporters and I won't be making a decision until after I have done that."[24] Victoria University of Wellington's iPredict online predictions market showed the probability of Cunliffe becoming the next leader of the Labour Party at 66%, compared to under 26% support for Shearer's deputy Grant Robertson, social development spokesperson Jacinda Ardern was at 5%, and list MP and former union leader Andrew Little was on 2%.[25]
Cunliffe formally entered the 2013 New Zealand Labour Party leadership election during a press conference in his New Lynn electorate office, saying he had consulted colleagues, supporters, and family and had been "humbled by the response."[26] He also said they had expressed confidence in his ability to "bring together a party and a government that provides a strong, clear voice for fairness, inclusion, and prosperity to be shared by all."[27] His announcement came in the wake of a ONE News Colmar Brunton poll released by the current affair program Q+A which showed Cunliffe winning the support of 29% of the eligible voters asked, and 32% of those polled who support Labour. Challengers Shane Jones and Grant Robertson are on 11% and 10%, respectively.[28] After the first public Labour Party leadership selection process in New Zealand history, Cunliffe was elected leader on 15 September 2013.[29] He won with the support of 32% of the Labour Party caucus, 60% of Labour Party members, and 70% of affiliated unions.[30]
Leader of the Labour Party[edit]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2016)
Cunliffe was perceived as widely disliked by his colleagues in the Labour Party caucus. In the leadership contest he won first-preference votes from only one-third of Labour MPs.[31] His leadership of the party was marked by continued infighting and instability.
Cunliffe breached electoral law by sending a tweet urging voters to vote for the Labour candidate in the Christchurch East by-election in November 2013.[32]
Labour performed poorly in the public opinion polls throughout Cunliffe's tenure as leader. Political commentator John Armstrong criticised "the lack of 'fresh policy' coming out of Labour" and lamented there was "a lack of urgency, which is failing to provide the momentum to keep Labour in the headlines".[33]
2014 general election[edit]
Labour launched its campaign for 2014 New Zealand general election in Auckland on 21 July. Cunliffe announced several flagship election policies, including a promise of free GP visits and prescriptions to pregnant women and those aged under 13 and over 65.[34] In a speech he stated, "We are basing our policies on a very old idea. That your healthcare is based on your health need, not on the size of your wallet."[34]
Cunliffe's performance in the leadership debates was viewed as mixed. Cunliffe was judged to have performed poorly in the 2 September The Press leaders' debate. Key claimed a win after Cunliffe could not answer whether family homes held in a trust would be exempt under Labour's capital gains tax policy.[35]
In August, the Labour Party's position in the opinion polls dropped to 22.4%, with Cunliffe registered 11% support as preferred Prime Minister.[36]
During the election campaign, Cunliffe met the alleged offender in the Queenstown suppressed indecency case. He said he had arranged for the person to meet a Labour candidate but that he had no idea about the person's controversial background and that had he known, no such meeting would have taken place.[37]
Cunliffe led the party to its worst general election result since 1922.[38] The National Party returned to power with 48.1% of the vote (its best result since 1951) while Labour claimed just 24.7%.[38] Cunliffe initially vowed to remain as the party leadership, despite the poor election result. On 27 September Cunliffe formally resigned as leader but announced he was re-contesting in the 2014 leadership election.[36] Later on 13 October, following widespread criticism, he announced he was pulling out of the leadership race.[36]
Political views[edit]
Cunliffe is generally liberal when it comes to conscience issues. He voted in favour of the decriminalisation of prostitution, the establishment of civil unions, and the criminalisation of parental corporal punishment. He voted against defining marriage as between one man and one woman, and voted in favour of legalising same-sex marriage. In 2006, he voted in favour of raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 20, but voted against it in 2012.[39]
Cunliffe is a supporter of a New Zealand republic. During the Address-In-Reply debate on 4 September 2002, Cunliffe said: "A New Zealand where we journey together towards maturity as a nation, and to the Commonwealth republic I personally believe we will become before the Treaty turns 200".[40]
Personal life[edit]
Cunliffe married prominent Auckland lawyer Karen Price when he was 21 and she was 19. They had two sons, and lived in the Auckland suburb of Herne Bay.[6] They separated in 2015.[1] Cunliffe's father Bill was born in Ngahere in 1915 and worked at the railways. His great-grandfather, William Cunliffe, married Phoebe Seddon, the elder sister of Richard Seddon, who would later become known as 'King Dick'. Seddon, New Zealand's longest serving prime minister, was thus Cunliffe's great-(great-)uncle.[41]
Religious views[edit]
Cunliffe is the son of an Anglican minister, and was raised in the Church of England. He has described himself as a "liberal Anglican," and an "infrequent attender of church, but it's a big part of my life."[42] He attends St Matthew's Anglican Church in Auckland, and is a supporter of the Auckland City Mission.

Hi guys, I just thought I'd put a post on here as well to get the word around:
I have applied to run two workshops at Amecon this August. These are aimed at photographers, rather than cosplayers, to help you learn some new techniques and have a chance to apply them in a practical setting. If you don't bring your camera you won't get much out of it XD They are as follows:
Manual focusing workshop:
This aims to teach you how to use manual focus (MF) when composing your shot. Being able to MF in addition to autofocus (AF) is an advantage because there are times when AF doesn't hit the spot, e.g. busy scenes, low lighting, moving targets etc. In addition learning MF opens up the option to purchase old manual SLR lenses for your camera (with the use of an appropriate adapter) - many of which offer wider apertures and nice optics for a lower price than purchasing a digital lens.
The workshop will last for about an hour - there are a few tips and tricks to learning MF which I will go over at the start, and after that it's just a case of practice. I will provide materials for you to practice on - they will be small detailed items like lace, leaves and high-contrast text. The practical component of the workshop will be held outdoors, dependent on the weather - if the weather's terrible then we'll do it indoors with a lighting kit. Outdoors is preferable due to being able to use higher shutter speeds which minimises camera shake ruining your practice attempts!
Before arriving at the workshop please ensure you know how to activate MF on your camera. Many dSLRs require the AF to be disengaged before turning your focusing ring. Failure to do this may damage your lens! If you're planning to attend then messaging me with the type of camera you're planning to bring would be helpful so I can familiarise myself with the MF settings to best help you out.
It's also highly recommended that you bring a lens with a closeish zoom, such as your camera's kit lens, as this is a very helpful thing when you're learning how to MF.
Posing and Angles Workshop:
This is essentially an opportunity to take some photos of cosplayers who will stand, sit, crouch, lie down, blah blah, without you feeling like you've got two seconds to take your photo and then you walk away feeling like the shot you took was pants anyway. I will be recruiting a number of cosplayers to pose in short 10-15 minute shifts (including one sitting at a table so you can practice face shots) so you can try your hand at different photography angles and poses. There will hopefully be one set of lighting available but given you'll be taking photos in these kinds of settings anyway this workshop will mostly require you to use your flash or make use of the available light levels.
Myself and Redkun will be on hand to give help and advice, and Nert has given me permission to rehash his posing panel, so the first 30 minutes will be a re-run of that, and then we'll get to the hands-on stuff!
If you have any questions or suggestions do reply to this thread or get in touch with me via PM!

Hey, I'd definitely be up for both of the panels if I'm not busy at the time. I have a Nikon D3100 with the standard kit 18-55 lens.

I'd definitely do my best to make it along to both of these workshops, I think I'd find them really useful.
The camera I'll be bringing is a Canon EOS 1000D ^^

Just to let people know these two panels are now confirmed!
Saturday, 3-4pm in the gymnasium: Cosplay Photography Posing Workshop.
(may be moved to 2pm, see events guide when it's published for confirmation)
So far I've got 7 volunteers confirmed for this to model so you should be able to have a shot at photographing a variety of costumes and poses. Myself and Redkun from Cosplay Snap will be on hand to provide advice. Hopefully this panel will encourage you to be creative with both the poses of the person you're photographing and the photography angles you go for to capture them.
Sunday, 12-1pm, in one of the lecture theatres: Manual Focusing Workshop
As mentioned above, I am hoping to move us outdoors once the tips and tricks part is done, but if the weather turns out to be rubbish then we'll have to make do with the lighting indoors. I will be providing some nice detailed objects for you guys to focus on including high-contrast text, leaves, lace etc. It is highly, highly recommended that you bring along a closeish zoom or kit lens for this workshop as being able to zoom in and out on your shot is really important for helping you determine if you're properly focused or not. Live view just doesn't cut it most of the time.
Lastly, I cannot emphasise this enough: Please ensure you know how to engage manual focus on your dSLR before you come to this workshop. Many dSLRs and/or lenses require the autofocus to be disengaged before turning your lens' focusing ring. Failure to do this may damage your lens or dSLR! Please please please read your camera's manual or look it up online and have a go at disengaging the autofocus before coming to this workshop - I will not take responsibility for any damage you do to your camera as a result of attempting manual focus or any other camera maneuvers during this workshop.

New to the jeep world
Heyy im new here, I actually just bought my first jeep like.... about 2 weeks ago. I've rode around with a couple of my friends in their jeeps before though, did some mudding (got stuck first time i rode with him) and a bit of crawling. They have cherokees though. I bought a used 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4.0L. As of now it is completly stock. So me having a jeep, i decided to take the hard top off and the doors off for the cruise last weekend. I managed to get the top off farely easy except i had to buy some hex keys cause all the bolts holding the top down required hex keys and one of them happened to be stripped out but i managed. Then came the doors..... The first time i tried to take them off i failed miserably. So i took to the internet and came across this forum. Out of eveywhere i looked, this place seemed to have the most people who knew EVERYTHING about how-to's with jeeps. Luckly i didnt have to resort to the wood and floor jack method, just got some pb blaster like 99% of people suggested and sprayed it let it sit for 15 mins and they came right off. Heres where i get totally stupid, I decided to leave eveything off cause im gonna invest in a soft top soon, but i managed to leave my jeep out in the rain last night lol so yeah thats my expereince with my jeep so far lol.
Thank you, I just realised though, I almost typed a whole book lol my bad!

He wanted to stand out.

Pug needs shades! Dude, you forgot my shades!
I want his hat for my pug. And I totally keep getting distracted by the shadow behind/left of him – it looks like a bear holding a rock. Hope his foot is better!
I instantly thought he was shot where the bandage was.. then he could walk into bars and ask… "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw!"
Actually the blister thing on his right paw is a cover-up. What really happened was he punched out a couple fools that made fun of his hat. Right on, Pug Norris.
Its totally the grand canyon, not a backdrop. I was holding onto him for dear life but he could have cared less what was behind him. It could not compete with his own awesomeness.
Meet Philippe – our newest travel guide.
Nice hat.
Is that a backdrop or curtain? The ledge the dog is on seems to blend into the floor of the canyon. Yet still looks very realistic.
Lol! What a cute pug!
Honestly the bandage really completes the picture. The rocks, harness, hat, foot; he looks like a serious rock climber.
he had a sore blister we didnt want to get dirty
Dapper fellow! But did he hurt his paw on the way up the rocks?

Quality (* * * * *)1 of 1 magicians found this helpful.
I cant believe the quality in this book! To tell you the truth, these are without a doubt, hands down, THE best illustrations I have ever laid my eyes on in a magic book. In my opinion these were slightly easier to understand than the illustrations in Totally Out Of Control (Chris Kenner). So if you liked those illustrations, then you will like these. Freakin kudos to Justin P. Vitti! I think what made these so good though, was how simple they were. THere were no annoying palm lines or shadows or anything like that. FIngers, palms, finger nails, finger tips. SIMPLE! You can focus a lot more on the actual coin placements and where everything is meant to do. Often in this book there are portraits of body moements and placements as well as table displays and midirection moments (I.T.H.C.A.) Good work guys! Oh! And one more thing I want to mention that is a very minor point (but hey, just trying to contribute everything I can towards a great buy), I dropped my copy on its corner and the plastic htat is in the cover started to peel open a little bit. Oh, and one more thing lol. This book has one of the most beautiful and visually pleasing covers in magic as well lol. If I wasin a magic shop and saw this on the shelf (it would be in the front), I would be attracted to it immedietly. Good work guys!
Coin Roll Subtlety (* * * *)
This is basically a pretty cool method to coin roll a coin while nested inside your expanded shell. This was originally published by Mike Gallo in his routine B.O.B (and Bill credited him and all that good stuff) While this certainly is NOT the simplest coin item in the book, it is very usefull when you are doing your coin routines with shells. I am pretty sure Bill added this in here to give you a little bit more of a covincer when you begin to do the routines such as Almos Frame-ous Ver. 77345 or 3 Coins Hanging + spotless. It will take some practice though, dont get me wrong!
Citino Rollout (* * * * *)
If you are into coin manipulation in your routines then you are going to love this. This has some kind of subtle drama structured into this little 4 coin flourish. THis is essentially a reverse 4 coin rollout which you might be farmiliar with if you have seen one of Rich Fergussons videos that featured this or Joe Jesses work with this. It has always been pretty much done the same though. So Bill being the super hero coin guy got to work and created this upsidedown and with a BRAND NEW final display! I got this down VERY quickly so I assume if you have basic knowlege or if you can do the original 4 coin rollout, this will be a cake walk.
Citino Palm Change (* * * *)
This is a bit of a knack, let me start off by telling you that right up front. It will not come simple to you. I got this in about 4 days where I can do it fluently without having to look at my hands or cramping up. However, if you enjoy one hand coin changes that look good (with only one simple discrepancy), then you will be able to do this pretty quick and will have a simple yet effective piece of magic on your hands by using just this on sleight. Basically it is the one hand palm change (palm to palm change as described in a few places) and is based on a few ideas from Bobos Modern Coin Magic which was later published in David Roths Expert Coin Magic and then adapted by (phew!) Bill Citino. I confidently remember learning the palm to palm change and this is easier.
Money Doesnt Grow on Trees (* * * * *)
Is honestly worth the price of the book! This is such a simple to do routine and hard hitting as well as both modern and visual. There is only one pretty gutsy sleight in this routine that I have never really been all too comfortable with but I am willing to make exceptions (something I am usualy uncomfortable with). Basically it is a 3 coin production and vanish which is probably unlike anything you have ever seen before. There are other 3 coin vanishes that claim this yet I think this is the best one (yes, it even beats cointwos characteristics) If you liked Eric Jones Out With Three (see review) where the coins appear and vanish at the same time then you are going to LOVE this one. You really DO have to see it to believe it (and believe me, seeing REALLY IS believing in this one!) It looks just like it sounds. No discrepancies. This can be done pretty much impromtu but if you want, Bill writes in a few techniques with a gimmick (not a shell or anything like that) that is pretty cool. On top of all that, this routine uses one of my favorite principles in magic that allows you to have the kind of cleanliness of a shell and makes the clean up MUCH easier! Hope you dont mind flipping 14 pages for one of the illustrations (I suggest not even wasting your time on it however becuase it is a very simple coin sleight that you probably know and will recognize right away, it is just showing you what it looks like exposed)
Almos Frame-ous (* * * *)
I enjoyed this routine very much (wow what a change in pace!) but there was one thing that caused me to take away a star. You need to set up similar to in Money Doesnt Grow on Trees, but you need to go into your pockets and retrieve a rather strange object ( David Roth begs to differ) which, to me, might make the audience seem suspicous since you went into your pockets (depending on when in your routine you want to do this), then you come out in a sort of strange position and then do something strange, all because they didnt know what you went to your pockets for. I guess I am sort of picking this apart a little too much or something, but I didnt go nuts over it, even if it is one of the coolest multiple coin productions I have ever seen.
Almos Frame-ous Ver. 77345 (* * * *)
Im not really sure where to classify this one. It allows you to do pretty much the same thing as the regular Almoss Frame-ous production, yet this one is a little cleaner because it uses a shell yet to me, is not that much cleaner but I am thinking about the majority of coin magic and do a lot of people, using a shell is cleaner, so I dont know. I suppose using the shell might make it a little more open and will close that margin of error you might find with coins talking. I can tell you this though: If you like Mike Gallos pocket counterfeiter, then you will like this one.
Has anything gotten below a 4 yet? Anyway, if Money Doesnt Grow on Trees wasnt in this book, then THIS would be worth the price of admission (you enter a pretty messed up world once you open this book!) This is an AWESOME in the hands coins across. PRobably the best since Eric Jones Impossible Coins Across from his lecture notes. There has been a few heated discussions in a few places arguing back and forth about the fist coin going across but I really dont have a problem with it. Basically the coins go across from your had to the spectators hand, the first one apparently just appearing on their palm, the second coin goes when you pull on their thumb and goes pretty much visibly and then leaves you in an awesome position, and the third one goes invisibly. One thing I wasnt that fond of though, was that it wasnt the most creative last phases of them all. This routine especially has something particularly pleasing to me. A Kainoa Harbottle/Curtis Kam sleight, but dont cry momma, it wont hurt one bit (Why does it seem like I have heard something like that before?)
Thats Impossible! (* * *)
I really hate to give items 3 stars, but I feel that it had to be done. The only reason I took away 2 stars, was because it uses a purse, a half dollar, an english penny, a copper silver coin, a coin clip, a coin rattel, and 2 chinese coins. All to accomplish the simple feat of transposing two objects while being clutched in the spectators own fist. I understand this is an impossible effect in the audiences minds but to need all of these props to just have an apparent 2 coins and have them switch places (read that back), it is a little unecesary and I was a little bit disapointed with it Bill, sorry, I know you could jsut do better. The effect is a beauty in itself but again, I wouldve accepted this if it used maybe just a duplicate of one coin, some palming, and no gimmick because, afterall, the copper silver coin can be up to $30 for some people, then you need to add on the additional tid bits and little items. Tisk tisk
Comin Outta The Box (* * * * *)
You know, a lot of people dont take too kindly to change. I was actually relieved in some way to see this routine in here. I cant recall whether or not I mentioned that pretty much everything in this book can be done all without a table and at chest/eye level, depending on how you perform, and it suitable fro walkaround performers, such as Bill. But this one uses the table to your advantage. Pretty much it is a production of 4 coins, flurry of one, production of a brass box ON THE TABLE, and then a coins across of a sort. I loved this routine because it has that kind of impossible feel to it that lets you relax because the work has been done for you. Not too much to say other than an Okito Box and a just 4 coins. This ones a worker!
3 Coins Hangin (* * * * *)
Based on an effect by Joe Rindfleish from his lecture notes, this is a pretty cool, visual, effective 3 coin production and vanish that have the same kind of technique as money doesnt grow on trees, but this one UNFORTUNATELY utilizes a gaff, oh well. This was a very minor routine to me in some ways, yet not enough to take a star away, Bill deserves it. You of course dont have everything that MDGOT has, yet you still have a solid, professional routine right here. You will also see a variant pop up next.
3 Coins Hangin spotless (* * *)
Let me start by saying rihgt up front, that this is one of the most havily gimmicked effects in this book. You require numberous coins, a gimmick, a coin clip etc. While this effect looks really nice, it mihgt not be the most practical being that the coins are produced, vanished, reproduced etc. If you really like effects that are clean and simple (not to mention straight to the point, no redundancy there), then you might just liekt his effect. I personally sont use many gimmicks in my magic so thats just not right for me. Also, if you like Eric Jones magic (specifically speaking his Oxy Clean Coin Routine), then you will like this one because it leaves you in a similar position as that one. Also, you might be farmiliar with one of Jim Paces routines, this one is similar to that one as well.
Hangin Coins Worldwide (* * * *)
I really liked this routine. While it utiizes many gimmicks (just as many as 3 Coins Hangin spotless), this one to me, looks much better because you can be more flexible with this than a lot of other routines. I typically dont prefer gimmicks, as you know now, but what is interesting is, because you have different gimmicks being used, you can go into a copper silver, copper/silver/brass, and hanging coins all in one routine, making this perfect for table hopping or walkaround. Just bringing this one up to the table can get you a nice little 5-10 minute set if you know your magic, or, make something up on your own!
EZ 5th Dimension (* * * *)
Is it me or did this start to slack towards the end lol. I have noticed a great deal of gimmicks start to pop up towards the end of this book. I dont know if Bill organized it that way so people can easily find what they are looking for if they wanted to refer back to this book again in hte future, again, I dont really know. But what I enjoyed about this routine is that it is much more than a coin trick. It is an experience. A ver gimmicked exprience. It is more than a coin trick, and even if it is gimmicked, the experience makes up for that and it didnt loose many stars for that. The audience sees productions, vanishes, and changes. A coin is produced and vanished, 2 more are produced, one by one they change, and then vanish in the blink of an eye just as you snap the purse frame shut. It is a prety nice piece of theater, even if it is for walkaround lol.
Well, its about time to rap this up. I usually like to end on a few comments and words of wisdom. This book definetly deserved a nice (* * * *). Bill worked very hard on it and he is a ver good friend of mine. He is always open for suggestions and ideas as wel as criticism (so bombard him! lol) I remember when this book was officially published and how much I wanted it. All that time of waiting paid off for sure! Bll Citino is a coin-fu master, woops! Got to go!

News Releases
Oceans are essential to human survival and prosperity and yet human activities are pushing many critical marine species toward extinction. The best way to maintain the oceans' diversity, abundance and resilience is to protect marine life in their ecosystems.
The Global Ocean Refuge System (GLORES, pronounced "glories") is an initiative by Marine Conservation Institute designed to catalyze strong protection for 30% of the ecosystems in each marine biogeographic region of the world's oceans by 2030. It is a strategic, science-based way to safeguard marine ecosystems and will enable humans to recover marine life for us and future generations.
Currently only about 3% of the ocean is protected, and just over 1.5% is strongly protected in "no-take" reserves where humans are not allowed to extract fish, oil or other resources. Marine scientists recommend strong protection for 30% of our oceans to save marine life from extinction. Please become involved with GLORES today and be a part of the growing team working to catalyze strong protection for marine life!
Marine Conservation Institute President Dr. Lance Morgan announces at Our Ocean 2016 our commitment to review the first ten protected areas for the Global Ocean Refuge System in the coming year!
Marine Conservation Institute hosted a GLORES Focus Group at the fourth annual International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC) in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador Canada. The group wrestled with challenging aspects of evaluating MPAs: judging MPAs with multiple regulatory zones, identifying appropriate evidence of community engagement in MPA management, and determining the activities compatible with protecting marine life. What emerged from our efforts in St. John's was a commitment to strengthen the GLORES evaluation framework and launch the Global Ocean Refuge System with an online nomination platform, candidate site evaluations, and inaugural GLORES awards as soon as possible. Check out out IMCC blog!
The first Global Marine Protected Areas Partner Summit was held in Redlands, California November 2015. The meeting was convened by Marine Conservation Institute and hosted by Esri, the world's leading vendor of geographic information systems, to bring together marine conservation organizations and prominent scientists, including Dr. Sylvia Earle, to explore opportunities for collaboration and new tools for enhancing marine protected area efforts around the world. The two-day meeting focused on the Global Ocean Refuge System (GLORES) initiative as a leading tool to support global conservation efforts and catalyze strong protection for the world's oceans. Check out the Summit Outcomes report!
On March 12th, 2015, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Marine Conservation Institute hosted 'The Future of Marine Conservation: Local and Global Perspective' workshop. The workshop featured the Global Ocean Refuge System (GLORES) initiative and participants were encouraged to discuss and provide insights on scientific criteria for ocean refuges. Please see the workshop's outcomes report.

As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with music playlists. When I was young, I would agonize for hours about which songs would make the cut on my 45, 60, or 90 minute cassette tape, all the while debating the feeling and mood established by the song order. How does the song start, what is its tempo, how does it end and most importantly, what does it say?!!
With the rise of MP3s and the iPod, the traditional mixtape has now evolved into the electronic playlist, allowing music fans to create a mix of favorite songs and genres to any occasion. To celebrate this recent phenomenon, I recently launched a website called FIQL (pronounced "fickle") that lets music fans trade playlists and the stories behind their creation.
Each week, I will pick a handful of interesting playlists from the site (FIQL.com) and share them with all of you. These playlists, submitted by regular folks, run the gamut from witty to thought provoking and everything in between.
When these lists were first submitted to the site, I wasn't familiar with all the songs. However, I found the stories/concepts interesting enough that I wanted to hear what the songs sounded like. Isn't that what sharing music is all about?
Below are five playlists and the descriptions written by their creators (in no particular order) that I want to share with you all this week. To see the playlist click on the link – where you can also listen to samples if you'd like.
1. Krazy Kount
Yeah, a playlist with a gimmick: The tracks keep count; you'll be surprised how well they all mesh together! (couldn't make a list that goes all the way to "99 Luftballoons!")
Click here to view the music playlist and listen to samples
2. Songs For Hitting The Pacific Coast Highway, Palisades Parkway Or Any Us Highway
Smooth songs for that relaxing weekend afternoon drive that hopefully won't sedate the driver. I picked the below songs because they relax me whenever I decide to lower my convertible top for a summer's night drive. Best of all, the songs contain no profanity and are both suitable and relatable to passengers of all ages. I start off my list with Cruisin', just to get me in the mood for driving but also to remind me not take driving too seriously. I finish it off with Drift Away, another song about taking it easy and forgetting about all cares and worries.
3. The Aural Equivolent Of Starbucks' Coffee
This is a playlist for all of those people who like trendy music that is just on the edge of mainstream, but far enough away from mainstream to allow you to look down on other people.
Click here to view the music playlist and listen to samples
4. The Ubiquitous Babyface
He is at least as well known for his songwriting and producing credits as he is as an artist … also includes one of his personal biggest hits, "When Can I See You"
Click here to view the music playlist and listen to samples
5. Math Rock Makes You Gooder
Math rock. geek hits. whatever. you know you love it.

"Dancing With the Stars" contestant Jaleel White has responded to his ex-girlfriend's allegations of physical and verbal abuse. He tells People, "When you're doing well in life, it's par for the course certain individuals will try and knock you down. When the individual is also the mother of your only child it is particularly hurtful."
Bridget Hardy is claiming that White pushed her into a toilet, causing it to break and that he pushed her in the chest area. White says that this was all because of a custody dispute and no charges were ever filed.
White says that he can't go into detail because of an agreement with the judge, but says, "I guess my most recent successes have been too much for her to
stomach. I'm assuming I have not received her votes
these past Monday nights," referring to the dancing competition.
He says he hopes his daughter will Google her parents someday and see that this was handled in a classy manner. He continues, "Bridget Hardy is the mother of my only daughter in this world and
without Ms. Hardy I would not have the treasure that is my daughter. God
knows the truth. … I ask for your sensitivity during this time, I can
assure all of my fans this is only residue from a child custody

Westerly could be a great place for cyclists
Westerly could be a great place for cyclists
Newport might be leading Rhode Island in Bike to Work Day on May 16 but the Westerly Sun's leading Westerly to our biking destiny and I like it.
The editorial on May 14, "Let's join Newport with Bike Westerly" might be what we need to get the pedals turning and this is why it makes sense here and now: Today Westerly just doesn't have the infrastructure to get many people biking considering our main thoroughfare — Route 1 from the Pawcatuck River up to Dunn's Corner — is seemingly designed to purposely repel biking, thus discouraging the mainstream, which is our target market.
No one needs to be Lance Armstrong (heck, turns out Lance Armstrong couldn't even be Lance Armstrong) but we need to appeal to the moderately enthusiastic crowd that is concerned about: (1) Their physical conditioning (my friend's exercise motivator: "You're never gonna get the butt you want by sitting on the one you have"), (2) The affect fossil fuel usage is having on our planet (May 12 New York Times reported Antarctic ice sheet melting is unstoppable, causing 6-10 foot sea level rise in the next couple centuries), (3) Having fun and meeting new people with similar interests (glad to see the May 19 Front Porch News photo of the "SPOKE-N not SHAKE-n" team of 7 women touring New York City all holding their bicycles and having fun with the biggest smiles this side of Manhattan). Additionally, biking provides a great answer to the question everyone needs to be asking themselves: "What did I do to help the climate today?"
While I personally live the motto, "Eat to work, work to live, live to bike, bike to work," biking just makes so much sense for Westerly — biking to work or otherwise, with our treasured Watch Hill and Misquamicut beaches an ideal biking distance from every darn place in this town. We're an outdoor community, our population roughly doubles in the summer with the crowds not coming here to hang out in the laundromats.
Westerly's strengths is the outdoors, the small town charm, relative affordability, access to anything you might need with our compactness making biking so ripe. Drawing on our strengths with your closing argument supporting bike infrastructure is absolutely worth repeating. "There is so much desire. Many feel it's just the right thing to do. We clearly have the will. Now who will lead the way in finding the way?"
Newport and May 16 "Bike to Work Day" might be catalysts, but as your editorial so poignantly points out, let's stop talking and start doing to establish a biking community in Westerly. There's room for everyone regardless of gender, income level, physical ability, or personal history. The only requirements are an enthusiasm to enjoy yourself, be part of our community and make the world a better place.

Beyond Subculture by Rupa Huq
Book DescriptionPresenting a new approach to the study of youth culture and popular music, Beyond Subculture re-examines the link between music and subcultures and asks the question; in an ageing world, can pop music still be an automatic metaphor for youth culture? Using case studies and first-hand interviews with consumer and producers including Noel Gallagher and Talvin Singh, Rupa Huq investigates a series of musically-centred global youth cultures including hip-hop, electronic dance music and bhangra. With 'Generation X' becoming an increasingly redundant term, this book will help students redefine their ideas of youth culture and will be an invaluable addition to their studies.
