>Perhaps there is no difference between mind and soul; after all, it was the
>union (interaction?) between God's breath and earthly material that produced
>Adam, the "living soul". Sounds like an epiphenomenon to me!
That is partly my point. Epiphenominalism sounds very soul-like to me. I
don't see how it is epiphenominalism can be defined in a different manner
than soul. Epiphenominalism is supposed to come from matter without God or
other divine influence yet matter or mechanism in no way allows you to know
WHAT the epiphenomenon will be once the various parts are cojoined. Why is
that different epistemologically than stating that God breathed into man the
breathe of life and he became a living soul? Isn't this the cojoining of
two things, to produce a soul/epiphenomenon? How can you demonstrate that
epiphenomenon must come from matter alone when that matter will not allow
you to predict what the epiphenomenon will be like? It appears to me that in
order to say that epiphenominalism (or soul) can only apply to matter, you
have then already assumed a metaphysical position--the one that says that
there is nothing but matter. Thus logically to claim that there is no soul
but there is epiphenomenalism only is based upon the assumption that there
is nothing spiritual outside or inside of this universe and that all there
is is matter. Therefore it appears to me that the materialist has assumed
the consequence.
>What about information content as being as example of an epiphenomenon? Take
>for example the distinctly different information content conjured up in your
>mind when you read the following two sets of letters: phicsys vs. physics.
>Could we say the latter "contains" something "more" than the former?
wel, thes haf uf thee sintence cuntains no les infomation than this part of
the sentence contains. The information content of physics and phicsys is
identical. The semantic meaning might be different but that is not
information content.
Which of the following has semantic meaning and which has more information?
wo yao chi ji rou
te rew gun pa bue
They have approximatly the same mathematical information content, but the
upper one is a perfectly good mandarin sentence meaning I want to eat
chicken. The upper has semantic meaning but there is no way to prove that
without knowing the language.

Program Overview
Below is a comprehensive list of events Mujeres de Maiz has offered since 1997. Many events occur on an annual basis.
Community Workshops
Topics are typically based on current need or requests from community members. Workshop topics have included art making, healthy eating, healing with herbs and plants, self defense and women's health. Topics are typically based on current need or requests from community members. Workshop topics have included art making, healthy eating, healing with herbs and plants, self defense and women's health. We have organized two series comprised of three to six weekly workshops–one on organic urban gardening and the other on creative writing. All workshops are led by local experts who volunteer their time and are geared towards a novice or beginning audience.
Monthly Full Moon Circle (Coyolxauhqui Circle)
Coyolxauhqui is the moon goddess in Aztec mythology. The monthly full moon circle is a women's gathering derived from this myth and based on contemporary Indigenous teachings of respect, healing and interconnectedness. "Full Moon" is run mainly as a talking circle and is a space for women to learn, share and gain introductory knowledge to Indigenous teachings. This event has occurred monthly since November 2010. Check our calendar page for our next full moon circle!
Art Education
A multi-generational community arts enrichment program designed for ages 5 to adult taught by professional women educators covering a a variety of mediums.
Poetry Night/ Procession
A poetry event is organized at a venue or as a mobile procession in a neighborhood. The event includes featured well-known adult poets, a featured youth poet and an open mic. Novice and experienced poets alike are able to share their work. The event has also been a springboard for poets who have subsequently performed at events and festivals nationwide. Some poets have published in the MdM zine and others have published books of poetry. This event has become a staple in Mujeres de Maiz programming.
Live Art Show
An intercultural, intergenerational, multimedia art and activist event that is part concert, part performance and part ceremony that features women of color and queer musicians, dancers, visual artists, poets, actors and artisans. The show is held in honor of International Women's Day, Women's Herstory Month, spring equinox and Mexica new year.
An annual multi-genre art exhibit featuring women of color artists. The venue, typically a gallery or community center, varies each year. A call for submissions is distributed with a theme focused on women's issues. Past themes include: "Seeds of Resistance," "Ofrendas (Offerings) of the Flesh," "Madre, Mother," "Soldadera de Amor (Soldier of Love)" "Rites of Passage," and "Identity Blinging." The opening reception typically includes a performance, artist talk and/or curator presentation.
High School Assemblies
Educational and empowering school assemblies feature women artists and activists (artivists) who make creative presentations. Through music, performance, poetry or film, each presenter discusses topics ranging from self-esteem, educational opportunities, sexism, healthy relationships to racism. Presenters teach students about Women's Herstory Month and International Women's Day. The students witness women of color sharing empowering messages of hope, love and power.
Mujer Mercado (Women's Marketplace)
A community marketplace featuring local women of color artisans, visual artists, jewelers and holistic health practitioners.
Annual Zine Publication
We have the longest running self-identified women of color zine in the nation. Our annual literary and arts "zine" (short for fanzine or magazine) is published in conjunction with the Live Art Show. Zines are a non-commercial form of independent media that circulate information and communicate stories that are often devalued in popular culture, public discourse and mainstream politics. The Mujeres de Maiz zines feature the original poetry, prose and the visual art of self-identified women of color. It is a platform for writers and artists of all abilities, from novice to professional from local to global.
Women's Conference
A day-long conference in honor of Women's Herstory Month. The conference features health and wellness workshops based in Mexicana/Chicana/immigrant knowledges, empowering and educational speakers, artist-activist performances, and an all women artisan marketplace. Conference workshops topics include: healthy relationships and teen dating 101; moontime (menstrual cycles); la cultura cura (culture cures) artivism (art and activism); body image and the media; safety, self awareness and self defense; creative writing; and herbs for wellness. A free healthy vegetarian breakfast and lunch are offered. Conference participants evaluate their experience and the data is used to organize the next conference.

Why Churches Should Have a Website
There's been an ongoing argument that churches shouldn't have websites. Such arguments are made by misinformed people who only view websites as advertising tools. There are plenty of reasons why a church should have fully functional website. Also with the advancement of technology, there are numerous website building technologies that make it easy and affordable to have a website. If you are on the fence as to whether churches should have a site, then the following article highlight some of the reasons why it' s beneficial for a churches to have a web presence.
Connect with Congregants
Websites make it easy for the churches to connect and interact with their congregants regardless of their location. If the church is planning any activity or has news it want to spread, then
multiply theme
website is the best tool for all of that. Once the website admin publishes content on the site, members can be able to see whatever is posted immediately. It would be very costly if a given church decided to use telephone to inform their member about upcoming events or activities. With content management systems powering website these days, the nature of communication has become even more interactive.
Spread Gospel
Aside connecting, interacting and informing congregants of the activities in the church,
church websites
can also be used to spread the gospel to more people. The good thing about the web is that a church has the ability to spread its message to people across the world. In the past, before the web came into being, churches that wanted to reach populations in other countries or continents had to physically travel in order to minister.
Now, people can actually receive the message wherever they are by just accessing websites online. Through tools like video conferencing technology it is now possible to hold meeting virtually from any corner of the world. Learn how to design website with these steps in
A church website can help church raise donations for the purposes of spreading the gospel. All one requires is to set up a donation button that's integrated with a payment merchant for money to go through. Churches do require donations from time to time in order to foot some of the expenses of spreading the gospel. In the end, having a website is easy nowadays compared to the past. It's also very affordable as church members can use content management systems such as wordpress that cost very little to have a site up and running.

Good afternoon, lovelies! This is the second part of My Year With Knipmode, a series examining my year of subscribing to that beloved Dutch pattern magazine. In the last post, I talked about the functionality of Knipmode, from subscribing to sizing. Today, I'm going to look at the patterns themselves.
Were they worth the price?
Have I used them enough?
Did the larger size range bring nothing but caftans and harem pants?
Well, let's find out! Grab a warm beverage, settle in, and I'll take you through my year of Knipmode patterns. Be warned, though: here there be pie charts.
Note: In the last year, I've received thirteen issues of Knipmode. I bought the first few issues on a trial basis, then signed up for a full, year-long subscription, because I liked the designs so much! However, there was a lag time between my subscription and my first delivered issue, which meant I didn't actually get the January 2016 issue. For the purposes of this post, I didn't use that issue or the September 2015 issue that Marianne previously reviewed, cutting my total number down to twelve. An actual year's worth of magazines…if not consecutively.
Patterns by the Numbers
First up, let's talk about the number of patterns. If you're subscribing to Knipmode, how many patterns are you actually getting in that year? Well, over twelve issues, I received a total of 331 actual patterns, an average of 27.58 per issue. This count doesn't include bonus issues, which will be in the next section. The French and German versions of Knipmode, called Fashion Style, don't include these bonuses, so I separated them out.
As you can see in my handy pie chart, most Knipmode patterns fall into expected categories. Almost half of their offerings are dress and blouse patterns, followed by an even split of skirts and jackets. Trousers are well represented, but thinner on the ground. That's probably for the best, let's be honest. How many new, interesting trouser designs does one woman actually want to wear? There's a bit of reinventing the wheel in that category, as it is.
This year, Knipmode also had six jumpsuit patterns, some lingerie pieces, and two Carnival costumes. Six jumpsuits may not sound like many, but as someone who suffers from pathological jumpsuit hatred, it felt like a lot. Every other warm weather issue had a romper or catsuit included.
Personally, I think Knipmode shines brightest in dresses and jackets. Those two categories had the widest actual design variation, with new, interesting styles featured in every issue and design lines seldom seen elsewhere in the sewing world. They've done everything from tailored, vintage designs to modern austerity, in both categories, and done it well.
Knipmode's skirts can be repetitive, with seaming and asymmetry used to put a shine on basic blocks, but they also had some exquisite, standout designs. February 2016 featured nine separate skirt patterns, each one an innovative, wearable design that made up for more pedestrian looks in other issues.
For me, the blouses and trousers are probably the weakest areas, ignoring jumpsuits. You can tell that design variation is hard to achieve from month to month. There are some gorgeous blouses, but there are also a lot of boxy tops and twists on the standard button-down. Great, basic trousers are definitely found, but there are added pleats and weird "design features" on a number of patterns.
Bonus Issues
This year, there were three bonus issues that came with my Knipmode subscription. These miniature Knipmodes offer capsule collections, framed around a certain theme. March 2016 featured loungewear patterns, May 2016 had summer patterns drafted for three heights, and October 2015 gave us cozy autumn basics. These bonus issues have a similar pattern breakdown to Knipmode's main issues, without extra fluff.
Personally, these mini issues tend to be hit or miss for me. I absolutely loved the May issue and would happily make every pattern it included, but the March issue didn't have a single usable pattern for me. October was more of a mixed bag, but still mostly positive and added value to the issue itself.
With capsule collections, which are so strongly tied to a theme, this spottiness is expected. I don't sew or wear "athleisure," but it's obviously a trend that Knipmode saw and acted on, with March's issue. Of course, that was going to be a miss for me! The classic patterns of May's issue, meanwhile, were called boring by some Facebook users and went right onto my to-sew pile.
Favorite Issues
Up above, I gave you an image of all the line drawings for this year's Knipmode issues, but that's a totally overwhelming graphic. Why don't we focus on a few individual issues, instead? We'll look at which ones were slam dunks for me first, then we'll examine those that didn't work in the next section.
My favorite issues were actually much harder to pick than my least favorites. So many issues had whole collections that I swooned over or multiple patterns that I've already made up and loved.
For my money, though, the April 2016 issue topped them all. Entirely themed around vintage-inspired patterns, it brimmed with full skirts, nipped-in waistlines, and classic tailoring details. That this was my favorite issue cannot be shocking, y'all. It's page after page of my pattern catnip! There was even a jersey shirtdress (#19) thrown in, just to win my loyalty further. While I haven't actually made anything from this issue yet, there are eighteen patterns that tempt me to start tracing. Even the presence of a romper and a jumpsuit can't bring this issue down.
The June 2016 issue came in a close second, with its theme of wearable summer dresses. In its pages are twenty dresses, each with interesting designs details and thoughtful nods to warmer weather. I've already made two patterns from this issue–the pieced princess-seam cover dress (#14) and the elastic waist kimono style dress (#23)–both of which are in constant rotation in my wardrobe. If the measure of a sewing magazine is how many patterns the subscriber actually makes, this issue would win. I'm already plotting some of the knit wrap dresses (#1-5), the strappy back cocktail dress (#8), and the cute A-line dress with center darts (#17). Heck, even those high-waisted sailor pants (#21) catch my eye!
Least Favorite Issues
My least favorite Knipmode issues were not hard to pick out. When I go through my giant stack of magazines–whenever I need a jolt of sewing inspiration–these two issues always end up cast aside. Neither one is universally bad, but they don't send me racing for tracing paper either.
If December 2015 were a vegetable, it would be the cauliflower. It's totally fine, reasonably nutritious, but not remotely exciting. It really needs some cheese or ranch dressing to make people crave it. Okay, this metaphor may have gone too far. Suffice it to say, this issue was full of "meh" patterns. There's a nice blazer I might make and a cozy looking sweater coat, but otherwise it's pattern after pattern of boring details and uninspiring styling. For a holiday issue, particularly, this doesn't work. I wanted sparkle and cheer, but instead got midwinter drudgery.
The July 2016 issue of Knipmode is a weird one. I actually love flipping through this issue, thanks to its riotous use of color and modern floral fabrics. When I back away from the pretty pictures, however, there aren't many patterns I like. Most patterns are almost right, but not there. Ruffles are too big; cold-shoulder cut-outs are too small. The one exception is the designer dress by Mart Visser (#21), with it's cleverly cinched waist and interesting use of color-blocking. Loving one pattern and an issue's styling can't make this one a winner, though.
Final Pattern Verdict
Taking into account its hits and misses, good issues and bad, this was still a successful investment for me. Of the total number of patterns, 170 were pieces I either liked or loved. That may not sound like many, but it's a much better hit rate than the Big 4 pattern collections, and infinitely better than my return-on-investment for Burdastyle. Having every pattern in every size means that if one collection doesn't work, another in the issue still might. I'm not limited to whatever schlock editors deigned to give plus sizes, that month. Knipmode has more room for error, because of its inclusivity.
Knipmode has a much lower of incidence of WTF patterns, compared with competitors. The ones I don't like are rarely hideous, but just a bit boring or uninspired. The patterns that work for me, on the other hand, work beautifully. They have thoughtful design details that I haven't already seen a hundred times. In my next post, I'll share my Knipmode projects from the last year. Not one looks like another pattern I already own!
When you look at Knipmode on a purely monetary level, it also succeeds. My international subscription was $90, which means each pattern cost me 25 cents. If we separate the dreck and jumpsuits, which I'm never making, that means that each usable pattern cost 51 cents. That is still such a deal! Even with the best JoAnn Fabrics pattern sales, I am not buying patterns for such low prices.
What's more, I find that subscribing to Knipmode changes my overall pattern buying behavior. When a new indie pattern or Big 4 collection comes out, I always reference back to Knipmode before making a purchase. So many patterns are garments I already own some variant of, thanks to my subscription! Knipmode obviously tries to stay on the cutting edge of fashion, which is ideal in a subscription like this. When I wanted to try the exposed shoulder trend, earlier this summer, I already had a Bardot top and a few cold shoulder designs in my collection. The culottes that I gave side eye to, in last September's issue, were aggressively on trend for 2016. My own style isn't usually trend-oriented, but I do like having the ready-made option to try, without shelling out too much cash.
Honestly, my only complaint is that I haven't used Knipmode as much as I should. Then again, I haven't sewn as much as I generally do either. It's been a year of style quandaries and ever-changing measurements. Frustration has kept me away from my nightly sewing habits. However, through all that, this subscription kept me inspired. Even in months without a single Knipmode project on my table, I've loved leafing through its pages and fantasizing about what patterns to make. Every delivery brings new excitement. I settle in with a cup of tea, highlighters, and my new issue, for an hour of creative bliss. One of my goals for the next few months is to up my own use of the magazine, because I do plan on resubscribing.
When I look at the numbers and all those glorious pie charts, it's easy to see why. Knipmode isn't perfect, but it certainly tries to please its audience. Boundaries are pushed, differing styles are catered to. There are flops along the way, yes. There are also issues filled with such gorgeous, inspiring patterns that even my lazy bones can't help but grab a pen and start tracing.
That, my dears, is a win.
If you'd like to read about Knipmode's sizing or how I use the patterns (including tracing and translation), check out my last post!

Buenos Aires transport authority has released CCTV footage of train drivers misbehaving while driving at high speeds.
In one clip, the driver is seen stepping up to the camera in his train cabin, attempting to obscure the lens so his activities cannot be seen. Other drivers are more overtly distracted, with some taking a nap, reading a book or playing on their mobile phone.
Last year 50 people were killed and 700 injured when a packed commuter train ploughed into a rail terminus at rush hour.
Argentina's Interior and Transport Minister Florencio Randazzo has since vowed to lead a crackdown on dangerous train drivers.
He plans to ban phone calls and unauthorised people in the cab.
Mr Randazzo has introduced daily medical checks on all drivers to gauge their fitness to drive and to reduce the risk of them falling asleep at the controls.
Under the new system, all those caught distracted on camera will either be disciplined or fired.

Calgary Stampeders all-time rushing leader Joffrey Reynolds' fall from grace was completed Friday when has was sentenced to 90 days in jail, to be served on weekends, plus two years probation for assaulting his ex-girlfriend last summer.
As part of the sentence meted out by provincial court Judge Brian Stevenson, Reynolds also must write an apology letter to the victim, Kaitlin (Katy) Ward, by June 30 and make a charitable donation of $5,000 to the Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter by March 31, 2015.
He will spend the first six months under house arrest, then a year under a curfew.
Stevenson said although the July 14 offences, of which he convicted Reynolds, had "some components of domestic, it was more of a friendship," as their relationship had broken up six months prior.
The judge found Reynolds guilty Feb. 25 of assaulting the woman when he kicked her in the back of the leg following an argument during a party at Black Betty's bar, then of unlawfully being in her Eau Claire residence and assaulting her causing bodily harm later in the morning.
"At Black Betty's, there was some discussion about Reynolds' infidelity, then an argument between Reynolds and Ward," said Stevenson. "After Reynolds kicked her, he decided to go to Ward's residence, where he was denied entry twice by the concierge at the initiation of Ward."
The judge said the offender managed to get into Ward's apartment through a patio door and went into the home, but did not go there with the intent of assaulting her. It was when she arrived home and told him to leave that the assault occurred.
Ward had testified that when she went to the front door and told him to leave, he "tackled" her, then threw her to the ground and tried to strangle or choke her.
Reynolds berated her and called her derogatory names, she said.
Ward, 27, wrote in her victim-impact statement read in court by Crown prosecutor Hyatt Mograbee that she has lived in fear of Reynolds since the attack nearly a year ago.
"It's been difficult to digest how someone I trusted and was always supportive of can betray and harm me in such a terrible way," Ward wrote.
"It's about a year later now and I still think about the crime when entering my home at night. I was very worried after he was found guilty and not sentenced immediately that he would attack me again. This is a person who has an extreme temper that can't control it."
Ward said the media publicity from the case has also been difficult on her, as she was left without the option of keeping the incident private by only telling her parents and close friends.
Reynolds showed little sign of emotion as he avoided a potential federal penitentiary sentence.
Crown prosecutor Hyatt Mograbee had earlier argued for a prison sentence of two to three years for Reynolds, who was a perennial all-star football player who ran for 9,213 yards in eight Canadian Football League seasons and was a member of the 2008 Grey Cup champions.
However, she said outside court the sentence was within the acceptable range under case law.
"This assault has a domestic context to it," said Mograbee. "During the time of separation is the greatest vulnerability in a domestic relationship.
"Before the assault at the bar, Ms. Ward told Mr. Reynolds not to come to her home that night. She was clear about that, but it was later determined the offender made great lengths to get into her house, despite what she told him. This was not an impulsive act, it was deliberate . . . Mr. Reynolds had many opportunities to think about what he was doing, but he did not. He persisted and found a way to gain entry through a patio door."
Reynolds, a native of Texas, also faces deportation to the United States.
Defence lawyer Bjorn Hirsanyi, who agreed deportation is almost a certainty, said it was a spontaneous incident after Reynolds was told he couldn't stay. He argued for a non-custodial sentence.
Hirsanyi pitched either an 18-month suspended sentence or a conditional sentence to be served in the community on strict conditions. If jail was the only alternative, he said, it should be no more than 90 days.
"The sentence I propose will allow Mr. Reynolds to obtain counselling," Hirsanyi told the judge. "Rehabilitation is what he needs so he can move on with his life. He needs anger management and to deal with substance abuse to push him in the right direction."
Stevenson ordered Reynolds to take domestic violence and substance-abuse counselling, not consume alcohol and not possess any firearms or other weapons.
Reynolds, 33, had appeared stunned but otherwise showed little emotion after the verdict. Again, there was little emotion after the sentence and he was not asked to nor did he make any statement in court.
Stevenson also ordered Reynolds to provide a DNA sample, and not possess any alcohol or weapons.
Reynolds appeared before the Immigration Board after his arrest last summer and had to surrender his passport when released pending trial.
He also still faces a charge of breaching bail conditions by contacting Ward. He will be back in court on Monday to deal with it.

As a child, Linda was often found lying on her bed reading about characters having exciting adventures in places far away. Upon reaching a landmark birthday, she decided to write one of those romances she loved so much. Easier said than done. Perseverance paid out and twelve years later, she received her first call from a publisher and a confession story was published. Now Linda writes heartwarming contemporary and historical stories with a touch of humor, and many have a tie to her previous home of Texas.
Linda currently lives in the southern California mountains with her husband of 34 years and their two spoiled dogs, Shiba Inu Keiko and terrier mix Phoenix.
If you like your sweet to sensual stories with a bit of humor, then check out my titles. Most of my stories are set in places where I've lived--Califronia, Oregon and Texas--and I love pitting a feisty heroine with a hero willing to stand up to her challenge.

LP (12"/10" Album)
Label: SVART
Release date: 02/02/2018
Barcode: 6430065583400
Catalog no.: SVARTLP0000145
Item ID: 457187
Malady's eponymous same titled debut album was a deserved underground hit, a beautifully realised piece of original Finnish progressive rock which had its roots very strongly in the sound of the early '70s. The second album 'Toinen Toista', goes deeper. Composed and arranged as a collaborative piece by the band, 'Toinen Toista' has enough detail to keep one captivated for repeated listens. The music is glazed with the kind of homegrown sweetness only vintage Scandinavian prog rock can offer but its insides are complex, with layer upon layer of things to discover.
Also available: TOINEN TOISTA (CD).

Opening with an ironic twist, Sunny lays out some decidedly un-sunny crashes sound tracked to Bobby Hebb's 1966 eponymous hit. Crash segments in ski movies are usually a bitch for skiers to watch because they're a little too real; they conjure up all the pain of our own crashes. Yet, somehow, Josh Berman and Kyle Decker manage to put a light-hearted face on the bruises and the breaks. From there, it's all smooth sailing however as Level 1 regains some spirit and some stoke that was missing from last year's After Dark. The vibe is positive throughout, not only from the soundtrack but also from the looks on the skier's faces: all smiles – as they show the world the state of the sport in their approach to urban skiing. Sunny has got to be the fastest 53 minutes you'll spend watching a movie as the pacing simply flies. The multiple camera edits come together beautifully forming complex shots that pretty much make it seem like you're right there. Without a dull moment or a misplaced segment, it's no surprise that Level 1 was lauded at the 2012 International Freeski Film Festival with the prize for both Best North American Film and Best Editing.
And there's no arguing with those awards given the quality of the segments and the general energy of Sunny. Mike Hornbeck, longtime Level 1 stalwart hands over what is a truly deserving opening segment. Hornbeck's fluid style shines bright as gets creative in linking up his tricks skiing down walls, over fences and across rails. His execution is imaginative and he's pushing urban skiing with his inventiveness.
Eric Pollard makes an appearance bringing his switch skiing skills to the powdered hills, a nice addition to this largely urban-based film. Chris Logan's adaptable style also jumps off the screen as he traverses back-country kickers and curved rails throwing right hand 900s and double back flips.
Logan Imlach gets inspired by JP Auclair's street segment from All.I.Can and transfers the setting to the inside of an abandoned building in Alaska, giving new meaning to the term "urban skiing". If that wasn't enough, he'll floor you with his one footed sliding on handrails that are not anchored in the ground but are attached to the cement wall. It's a disaster waiting to happen (and it does at one point) but when he nails it the only thing you can say in wonder is "Jesus y Maria!!".
The Breckenridge segment features some recent and brand new talent and if the styles of Niklas Eriksson and LSM are any indication, then Level 1 is going to continue to be well stocked for athletes well into the future. These guys have got styles smoother than silk panties on freshly waxed… skis.
Sunny's like the Top 40 on an AM radio station, the hits just keep on coming – Will Wesson, Wiley Miller, Tanner Rainville, the unstoppable Tom Wallisch – and then there's Parker White. After never saying "die" on two attempts at a damn-near vertical pillow run in the Kootenays, White's closing segment offers up urban, big air in the backcountry (including switch landings in powder), more pillow runs and ultimately big mountain in an all-out, full-throttle assault allowing Sunny to end with a bang (and I mean a good one) and giving Parker more recognition in the way of the Best North American Male performance award from the 2012 IF3.
This is great filmmaking and a great State of the Union address on urban skiing. By Mark "The Attorney General" Quail

JTV Goes to London for the 2012 Gem-A Conference
Published on JTV.com: November 2012
A Personal Perspective on Travelling with Co-Founder Jerry Sisk
By: Tim Matthews, CEO & President
This is page 2 of a 10 page article on the Gem-A Conference in London. Read page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Jerry and I left Knoxville for the 2012 Gem-A Conference late on Friday, November 2, having a short layover in Atlanta en route to Heathrow. The overseas flight was just over eight hours with a mid-day arrival on Saturday in London. The afternoon gave us a breather as we settled into Hotel Russell where, incidentally, the conference speaking sessions were held on Sunday.
After settling into our hotel Saturday afternoon, Jerry and I had a small window of time for some sightseeing prior to our scheduled dinner with a select group of Gem-A executives and guests. Since our trip was full of scheduled activities centered on the jewelry and gemstones business, we wanted to do something different and decided that we would make a quick visit to the Imperial War Museum. Jerry and I were excited about this little side trip because we are both history buffs and this would also give us a chance to get out and see something unique.
So, we departed the hotel and set out for the closest bus stop, knowing that the Museum was conveniently located on one of the principal bus routes. London has wonderful public transportation system with many options for visitors, including the London Buses network originally introduced after World War I. It did not take long for us to catch one of the double-decker buses bearing its archetypal bright red paint, route 59 from Russell Square.The Imperial War Museum's collection of "big guns" and instruments of war was certainly impressive, and we took the opportunity to snap a photo of Jerry next to one of the big guns we saw. Of course, I think of Jerry as a "big gun" because he has incredible knowledge about gemstones, having recently authored a definitive "Guide to Gems and Jewelry". Jerry also was recognized by JCK as one of the most powerful among the movers and shakers in the gemstone business.
In any case, Jerry and I enjoyed the Imperial War Museum and its displays of impressive guns. But to me, I was most impressed with the art collection and the explanation of how censors during WWII actually censored war-era paintings to prevent confidential information from passing inadvertently to the enemy. This intersection of art and intrigue reminded me of so many interesting gemstone stories and hidden delicacies in gemstones like the horsetail inclusions in Russian demantoid.

Running a brewery is a tricky job, and when put to the task, Paul DeMare has definitely stepped up! Check out this article from November by Tiffany Hill in Hawaii Business Magazine called "Brewed and Bottle in Hawaii" for insight insight on what it takes to successfully run a brewery with two brands in Hawaii!
Some of the highlights of the article include:
"DeMare was familiar with the brewery's location and the "salt-of-the-earth community" of Hilo, having consulted there in addition to his longtime Honolulu-based practice. As he was slowly exiting from his oncology practice, the article piqued his interest."
"I wanted to save the business and be proud to own it," says DeMare, adding that his family and friends were "surprised, but happy, too."
"I was willing to take risks on my own personal money and I didn't want to put other people's money at risk," he says.
"It's more sustainable. The cans are made in Kapolei," says DeMare. "It's cheaper to move them from Oahu to Hilo, rather than glass bottles." Both Hawaii Nui and Mehana also sell beer in 19.2-ounce cans – the "imperial pint" – which are made in Texas.

Paul was most recently the host and behavioural expert on Channel 5's Make or Break (August 2017). He was also a lead expert on BBC One's Lose Weight for Love (May 2016)
Paul has appeared across a range of other broadcast programmes offering his expertise including This Morning (ITV) and Horizon: How You Really Make Decisions (BBC Two) and has written for a large cross-section of the major national newspapers and glossy magazines.
His book Happiness by Design was published to critical acclaim on the 28th August 2014. The book brings Paul's latest research in behavioural science together with current findings in happiness studies to create a new concept of happiness – it's not just how you think, it's how you act.
He has previously worked with Nobel Laureate Professor Daniel Kahneman at Princeton University, where their 2008 paper in the Economic Journal has been the most cited paper in the journal since that year. Paul also currently advises policy-makers in the UK and US on how to measure wellbeing and is a member of the National Wellbeing Advisory Forum for the Office of National Statistics in the UK.
He was an author of the "Mindspace" report for the UK Cabinet Office. "Mindspace" is a mnemonic for the nine most robust effects on behaviour that operate largely, but not exclusively, through our automatic system (the part of our brain that responds unconsciously to contextual influences). His work on Mindspace is being used across the public and private sectors, and he is increasingly asked for consultancy advice on how to change behaviour in organisations and populations.
Paul has lectured and spoken at a variety of institutions and businesses about his research on happiness and the importance of wellbeing in the workplace.

…and there it was, a young lady in her burqini, sweeping and swaying her way across the deck of the Kos Island-bound feribot I wrote about when I last saw you (you can catch up here). As we tried not to be too obvious in our examination of the art of walking in a burqini, M. and I felt rooted to the ground via our smooth, white plastic chairs that were bolted to the deck in all of their pseudo-modernist glory.
Our water bottles moved slightly back and forth on the table with the rhythm of the water. I was reminded of how one's eyes look at a tennis match, first here, then there, as the ball passes across the net. This was, I realized, a metaphor for my own back and forth, to burqini, or not to burqini? This was my question, my question of the hour.
Of course, Karagöz was there to rhyme it up and egg me on. "Do it, blue it, they will boo it! Whee-hooo!" And, of course, the chorus of dancing ladies commenced their "cluck-clucking" and "tut-tutting," from the confines of the purse. Kenne, now joined by Khadijah on my right shoulder, was busily ensconced in some needlework and ignored the whole curfuffle. From the corner of my eye, I could see that the two little ladies were working on opposite ends of some large piece of fabric, embroidering up a storm.
Shooting them a thought with my eyes, as I knew they could read my mind, I said "you ladies, are, umm, awfully busy today? Doesn't the rocking of the feribot make you a bit ill? Sort of like reading in a car?" Kenne just waved her hand in dismissal, quipping "just enjoy your time in Kos, we'll show you what we have made on the way home tonight, dear/canim."
Unaware of the lady side conversation, M. stopped complaining about his headache and breeze-born illness, and announced "I will never censor you. I love you and once again, if you need to do this 'burqini street theatre' to put these snobby ladies in their place, be my guest. I am not convinced that it will put them in their place, but if it helps you to feel better about you, ok." Now, most women faced with such a show of support from their man would be thrilled. Why, then, did I feel so dismayed. I delivered a big kiss and thanks, but felt a bit empty inside.
Once on Kos Island, we wound our way off of the harbor on a long, brick promontory towards town. As we decided which direction to go, what to see and do first, I scanned the newspaper seller's shop for English-language news. After purchasing a much sought-after copy of the International Herald Tribune, my eyes zeroed in on the newsstand when I saw an old copy of the feminist magazine "BUST." This zine, in my opinion, embraces what I think of as an in-your face, third-wave feminist stance on all matters concerning women.
Somehow, after just seeing those magazines when I had left Turkey for the day helped me to re-center. I realized I could – and should – just be myself despite my insecurities about my body AND be as respectful as possible to the situations I was in – without giving it all up, or needing to protest in a burqini street theatre extravaganza. "Loser!" Karagoz cried with screeching fury, as soon as he heard my thought "fraidy-cat, wimp!" He stormed off to the ferry, mortified that I would not spin with my own form of anti-establishment protest. While the street theatre might have been a kick, I decided to leave well enough alone for now. As my Granny always said, "pick your battles, and be courteous." The dancing lady chorus sighed with approval. Kenne and Khadijah just kept on sewing. They even continued to sew as M. and I rented bicycles to toodle our way around the island a bit – now that's a balancing act, sewing while biking. As the day unfolded into our exploration of Greek Orthodox churches, cafes and the fuchsia flowers of Bougainvillea vines over whitewashed adobe-like structures, I temporarily forgot my call to burqinism and my lingering question.
As the late afternoon blue of water and sky sped by the feribot window, I felt full with sunshine and the fun of a day's worth of exploring a new place. As we approached Bodrum harbor for our return, I could feel the frantic pace at which Kenne and Khadijah were sewing – what were they up to, anyway? Khadijah answered with a hurried and a little bit tense sentence, saying "We are, m'lady, famous for our needlework and embroidery, don't you know?" "Yes," Kenne said, cutting a bit of thread in her teeth as she rushed, "Ottoman embroidery is world-famous, and even our men get into the act, when it is time to sew with gold and pearls."
Before I could inquire further into the gender equity involved in 14th century embroidery, the feribot pulled into the harbor and we were instructed to prepare for passport control. Forgetting about the mad sewing on my shoulder, I jumped off the boat, received my passport stamp and headed back through Bodrum town. While I was already winding down towards binning my burqini street theatre plans, I did find that I looked somewhat lovingly at the Islamic bathing suits swaying in the breeze along the roadway. They came in every imaginable color – pink, orange, tropical fish patterns – and the more demure black, grey and blue. At one stall, I mustered up the courage to inquire about whether there were burqinis in my size. The gentleman in question called over an English-speaking vendor who explained to me that he did not have burqini in my size "all gone," he said apologetically, "all gone for summer." My fantasy of shocking the swim parade began to crumble a bit more just as Hacivad made his appearance with a softly-worded observation, "It is only a few more days that we will be here, yes? Not too much more here to do in the gated community before striking out for more adventures in Anatolia."
We hopped on the dolumuş at the Bodrum Otogar, site of a previous escape, and I lapsed into my mind yet again. Wishing for the pragmatism of my best friend, a stalwart Austrian feminist who generally doesn't give a hoot nor holler what others think of her, I began to think my fabulous burqini-based street-theatre plan was for the birds. Maybe, I thought, I should consider that this is my first meeting with M.'s family – diplomacy should perhaps prevail. Maybe, just maybe, I should just stick to being me. Arriving back home, a peace settled in, and I realized I was done with the burqini fantasy. Not only because M. accepted me for who I was body-wise, or because it would potentially upset the familial apple cart (so to speak) – but because I realized that I was just me, and I was ok with that. As Tasha Fierce pointed out in her recent essay, Sex and the Fat Girl: Subjectivity and Self-Image, "let a partner be a complement to your positive self-image, and not the key."
"Now that's the right idea, m'lady!" Khadijah pronounced with a declaration fit for the Sultan himself. "And you are coming around to this right attitude at just the right time!" Before I could wonder what was what, I felt the tiny tug of my earlobes and hair as the little ladies commenced dragging their needlework masterpiece to the top of my head. "What on earth," I cried, "ladies, I get that you are way into your needlepoint, but why are you climbing up there?" At this point, a humming, swooning honey-like sound began to ooze from my purse, and I realized that the little ladies of the dancing girl chorus were repelling out of my bag and up to the top of me by any means necessary. Clearly, this was a lady puppet revolution. Transfixed as if an insect that has given up on being caught in a spider's web, I waited and watched. Even Karagöz was mesmerized.
Slowly-by-slowly a thin, silvery-smooth embroidered lacy film dropped down over my body. I felt the cooling of it's touch, it's protection still keeping me warm, I felt the pleasant glow of healthy skin augmented by sparkle and glitter. Raising my arm, I marvelled at the intricate bird and flower designs that were melding to my skin as the material seemed to magically emblazon itself all around me like cling-film. "Your question, m'lady," Khadijah whispered, "was to burqini or not burqini. So, we made you a magic, invisible burqini that will lift your spirits, enhance your sparkle, glitter your twitter and inure you to further catty comments from the swim parade on cement beach." Here you have it, a burqini on your own terms. Walk with your head held high, and the confidence within that you know you deserve. Do not fall prey to the ladies of the day, they will get all they deserve in good time."
Alighting the car, I felt the glow of feeling-good-in-my-bones throughout me, as if an aura of well-being had descended, and indeed, I think it had. "My, my," M.'s sister in law said, "you look really beautiful tonight!" Clearly, something had shifted. For the first time, M.'s sister and I took a long walk that night, sharing stories and listening to the sea. It was a sea change.

Men's T-Shirt Fashion for Summer 2013/2014
This summer's trend in men's fashion is printed tee-shirts of every variety. Add a splash of something different to the wardrobe with these popular styles from Fashion Beans.
- Nautical themed prints have been a staple in men's fashion for years, but this season maritime type prints are also popular. A great example of this is classic blue and white striped t-shirts.
- Be a man who isn't afraid to stand out and wear floral. Classy, unique and a break away from the standard slogan-type shirts, a floral tee is guaranteed to turn heads.
- References to places, companies and cities on fashion are still strong sellers. Apart from the usual printed names, graphic photography is also becoming popular.
- Bold printed animals are seeing a massive revival thanks to designers like Givenchy. Leopards, lions, zebras, dogs, crayfish – basically anything goes. Toughen up the look with a leather jacket.
- Another old favourite making a comeback are tie-dyed shirts and vests. Best if worn with subtler colours like black or denim, the tie-dyed shirt screams a laid back man.
- Stripes are strong this season. Thick, thin, bold and versatile, there is a stripe to suit every occasion. Just remember to never mix stripes with other patterns.

Director Kevin Macdonald Discusses 'Marley' Documentary
After six years and three different directors, "Marley," a documentary about the life of reggae legend Bob Marley, is finally going to be released on April 20th, a date that is known in certain circles as a holiday celebrating the consumption of marijuana.
Based on the Facebook comments on the Marley page maintained by his family, many fans will be marking the occasion while watching the film in the comfort of their own homes. That's because "Marley" is the latest to be given a "day and date" release, meaning that it will be available in theaters on the same day that it's offered on demand. Eamonn Bowles, chief executive of distributor Magnolia Pictures, which is known for pioneering VOD distribution models, says he thinks that releasing the movie simultaneously in theaters and on demand will help capitalize on Marley's enduring popularity on social media sites.
Marley, known for popular songs like "Get Up, Stand Up," and "No Woman, No Cry," died tragically in 1981 at the age of 36 after a battle with cancer. Since then, there have been at least six failed attempts to make a film about him. In the 1990s, singer Lauryn Hill was reportedly on board to play Rita Marley in a Warner Bros. project that never got off the ground. In 2006, Jamie Foxx was said to be in talks to play the reggae star in another biopic produced by Ms. Marley, but the project died because its director couldn't secure the music rights.
Around that time, the rights to Mr. Marley's expansive library were purchased by financier Steve Bing's production company, Shangri-la, for a documentary that was to be directed by Martin Scorsese with cooperation from the Marley family. Mr. Scorsese subsequently dropped out of the project because of scheduling problems. After the departure of another director, Jonathan Demme—he left over creative differences—Mr. Bing contacted Kevin Macdonald. A longtime Marley fan, Mr. Macdonald had wanted to make a film about the singer ever since he was in Uganda shooting "The Last King of Scotland," and noticed how many people there revered Marley as a hero and a messenger for the third world.
Speakeasy caught up with Mr. Macdonald recently at the Bowery Hotel, where he talked about making the film and what he learned in the process.

The image of a young woman driving a sports car with a bright-coloured scarf flowing in the wind was in the 1950s outside all norms of female behaviour, not only in the Bosnian countryside but also in Sarajevo itself. The woman in question is Vesna Bugarski, the first female architect in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
When she decided to study architecture Vesna, like so many of her female counterparts in other spheres of learning, had to confront the stereotype according to which a woman's place was in the home, or in some 'female' job. When she arrived at the architectural faculty in Belgrade (there was no such thing in Sarajevo), all the other students were men. After a while, thanks to her bright spirit and sharp tongue, she won many friends there. As soon as an architectural section was formed in Sarajevo, she returned to her native city where she remained until her tragic death.
Vesna Bugarski was born on 2 May 1930 in a respected Sarajevo family. Her father Dušan taught foreign languages in Sarajevo high schools, her mother was a scion of the well-known Serb Despić family (their house is now part of the Sarajevo city museum).
Those who knew her speak of a woman free of all inhibitions. She was devoted to those whom she loved and rude to those whom she did not. According to Mirjana and Momo Hrisafović, she would tell people openly: 'I don't like you.' She was buoyant and unusual. Once she ate an ant for a bet. She cooked unusual dishes and her house was full of all kinds of spices. The retired architect Boro Spasojević, her devoted friend, remembers her as someone 'of temperament, who loved company. She was also a great swimmer.'
One of the first generations of architectural students in Sarajevo, which contained only one other female student, she graduated in 1964 and began to work for Prosperitet, the first Sarajevo firm dealing with planning and interior design. Her acquaintance from student days, Vera Ćemalović, who belonged to the second generation of architectural students, recalls that girls were then not as stimulated as boys to study. 'In my year there were only six or seven women out of thirty students. Women were just not expected to proceed to higher education. I became a student because of the establishment of the faculty in Sarajevo: I had no means to study in Zagreb or Belgrade. Both sexes found it hard to make ends meet, but women more so than men.' What money there was would be spent on the male child. 'There were men even in intellectual circles who would say: "What can you do, you're a women." But Vesna could do it: her appearance and style negated such talk.'
Vesna Bugarski was lucky in that her family gave her full support. Her parents were educated people, who never stopped her from doing what she wanted, despite occasional worries. Vesna's brother, Professor Ranko Bugarski who lives in Belgrade, remembers: 'After her graduation, she wanted to work on a building project at Korana, a place near Pale. We used to ask her: "But Vesna, will you be able to order about all those male workers?" It was an unusual profession for women at that time.'
What made the difference was Vesna's character. Her brother tells us with a smile:'Disregarding all objections, she did what she had intended to do - she found a job on the Korana project. She held to her own views like a man and she never allowed anyone to tell her what to do.' After this job she spent several years in Denmark, where interior design earned her a comfortable living. On her return to Sarajevo, she concentrated on art rather than architecture. She produced tapestries - which were rare then - on a loom that she brought from Denmark, made knitted ties and other art objects. She also designed interiors for offices and occasional flats. Most of this work was destroyed in the war.
She became famous for her ponchos, worn by women who wished to wear less conventional clothes. Women then wore skirts, twin-sets and such like. Vesna, however, almost always wore trousers. She wore large bracelets and white bell-bottom trousers, colourful T-shirts with a poncho on top. She wore curls and walked in a jaunty manner to which many objected, Vera Ćemalović recalls. She also loved sports cars, which was rather shocking then for a woman. She was a keen swimmer and skier. After graduating she met and married another architect, Ivo Ramljak, but they soon divorced. She had no children, preferring to be an aunt to her brother's two sons. 'We all remember her arriving in her white sports car and taking them for a ride.' She also loved travelling.
When the war came to Bosnia-Herzegovina, she refused to leave Sarajevo. Despite constant warnings she went out every day. She told her brother: 'I won't let those brutes on the mountains dictate to me when I can go out and how I should live and behave.' On 22 August 1992 she was returning from the market to her flat at 18 Obala Street when a grenade fired from one of the surrounding hills practically cut her in half. The architect Ivan Š traus later wrote in Oslobođenje: 'A year ago the barbarians killed the architect Vesna Bugarski, who was born in Sarajevo to a family of high ethics and reputation. She belonged to the first generation of students at the University of Sarajevo's architectural faculty, and became a highly respected interior designer. She was a woman who took the side of common existence, a brave woman who - imprisoned by mindless destruction - used to visit the wounded parts of the old city.'
After her death, everything in her flat was stolen: the loom, the sitting-room furniture designed in the Turkish manner, the Venetian mirror, the multi-coloured bedroom articles. The flat once filled with her spirit was left empty.
The well-known architect Aida Daidžić, whose father had been one of Vesna's fellow students, recalls how hard she herself had found it as a woman to be accepted in her profession. She had received strong support from her mother, one of the first Muslim women from Montenegro to study in Zagreb. But when she told her parents that she wished to study architecture, her father, an otherwise liberal man, said: 'Architecture is not for women.' 'My mother then said that she would divorce him if he didn't let me study what I wanted, arguing that I had to decide for myself, otherwise I'd nag them later.' At the time when Aida began her studies, the male-female ratio in the faculty was already fifty-fifty. Gender discrimination began afterwards, when applying for jobs. This was first time that she herself experienced discrimination, which turned her into a fighter for human, and especially women's, rights. 'Here I was, an educated woman, who was supposed to make and serve coffee. I was on the lowest ladder in the firm and, of course, was the worst paid. After a year of training I spent eight years as a second-rank designer. The director then told her he could not promote her because there were already two older women waiting for promotion. It all became clear to me. During the morning break I would see women go to the market and return heavily loaded, while the men would open a newspaper and turn up for breakfast at their leisure.' Male colleagues would attend meetings leaving her to complete drawings.
So she decided to leave and do post-graduate studies in Zagreb. She then got a scholarship to continue her studies in Germany. It was due to this that she spent the war years outside Sarajevo. After the war ended she decided to return. She was able to open her own architectural office and also began to teach at the university. 'I don't like people to think of me as a woman who has made a career in the world of men, but as someone who is better than them', she adds laughingly. Aida Daidžić runs the ARCO planning bureau and the URB forum - the city forum for urban development. She is also a member of BISER, an international initiative for the women of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Of the many designs she has produced, she is particularly proud of the Gravestone Memorial and the Memorial Room at Potočari.
In contrast to the time when Vesna Bugarski lived and worked, and when women architects were a rarity, there are today many women in this profession. There is no discrimination in education, but gender inequality persists in jobs. Proof of this can be deduced from the fact that a two-month search through Sarajevo did not reveal a single house designed by a woman.

Multitalented writer/director/star Jim Cummings gives a jaw-dropping performance filled with bursts of offbeat humor and unexpected pathos as a small-town police officer struggling to process the death of his mother, an impending divorce, and his own unrecognized cluelessness.
As THUNDER ROAD opens, we meet Officer Jim Arnaud, preparing to address the mourners at his beloved mother's memorial service. However, his eulogy doesn't go quite as rehearsed. He's continually on the verge of tears, of course, but also keeps making bizarre, confessional digressions, and, worst of all, his 10-year-old daughter's pink boombox won't play his mother's favourite Springsteen song. This scene sets the tone for the narrative that follows—a singular blend of cringe-inducing laughs punctuated by moments of profound sentiment.
Emotionally raw following the funeral, Officer Arnaud must deal with a whole series of real-world problems, and as he struggles through these challenges, Arnaud does his best to remain cheerful, always striving for the positive, even when his own hapless antics cause him to falter.
In this emotional and offbeat feature-length adaptation of his award-winning short film, director and star Jim Cummings gives a captivating performance, infusing both his flawed character and the film with a deep, abiding pathos.
