In a heartening incident, a police constable stationed at Birmingham Airport has been praised for helping to save the life of a man who collapsed minutes after stepping off a plane.
Adrian Daly, 45, was first on the scene when the passenger - who had just returned from Arrecife in Lanzarote - suffered a suspected heart attack in the baggage reclaim area. Daly administered crucial first aid, including mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions, in an attempt to revive the victim.
"He was lying on the ground with his family surrounding him and a large crowd standing in the vicinity watching on. I could see his breathing was laboured. I radioed for assistance but within a few seconds the man had stopped breathing and I couldn't feel a pulse. I rolled him onto his back and began CPR; the airport first aiders were quickly on the scene and showed fantastic professionalism by helping out and taking over the chest compressions while I continued mouth-to-mouth," said Daly in a statement.
A defibrillation kit was located close to the incident and was quickly brought to the scene, where first-aid officials successfully used the device.
"After a while the man started to gurgle and it became noticeable he was breathing again. I'm just glad I was able to play a part in helping come to the man's aid and delighted to hear he's now on the mend," added Daly.
Paramedics transferred the patient - who lives in Long Eaton, Nottingham - to a hospital where he is now recovering.
Daly, who has two children, has been based at the airport for 16 months now and is one of 24 West Midlands police officers working four shifts around the clock to protect passengers and airport visitors.

Chapter 5.1 Summary
The author begins by reviewing how Americanisms "had gone over into English" and how English had begun to "get a foothold in the U.S." Both, he reminds, usually happened frequently and quickly. After giving an example, Mencken refers to Farmer, who surveys the introduction and assimilation process of a word. He discusses how this process transpires in four ways or means: 1) by American books, newspapers and magazines; 2) by sailors; 3) by travel/travelers; and 4) by American plays and movies.
It is important for Mencken to note the treatment of Americanisms. He studies the disdain for "American pollutions of the well of English." He shows how the English assimilated numerous Americanisms and documented them as having English origins. He also reiterates how at first the English denounce the language but then treat so much as their own that they fail to acknowledge or "forget...

I don't have a single complaint. Retroactively Lee, I would have complained about the previous editions of Amazon Prime because they were incomplete. That is, that the Canadian version of Amazon Prime was incomplete, because you were constantly comparing it to its in American neighbour. Now come at this time, all I am waiting for is for Amazon to widen its presence in Canada a little more so it can be just as effective as it is in the United States of America. Not to say that the service itself is not as effective, but Amazon has expanded to such a point in the United States where they are able to just order something on Amazon Prime, and have that item be at their house within a couple of hours. And I'm not talking pizza, I'm talking Furniture, appliances, all sorts of things. I know that Amazon is also working with using drones to deliver their goods, and all sorts of artificial intelligence like that, which is also exciting but also nerve-wracking as Society is clearly moving in a New Direction, but inventions like this, as you can tell from this Amazon Prime Canada review, make me see this shift into what was once considered to be futuristic as something that is quite positive. Could I be wrong about this? It's quite possible that I could be wrong about it.

Of smoke: a field guide to photographing smoke
To celebrate the first year of Google+ and the photography community, we're doing a photowalk in downtown Atlanta.
Where and When:
June 30th
We will meet at Centennial Olympic Park at 5:00 pm.
Photographers of all skill and levels are welcome. From beginners to pros. What if you only have a phone camera? YES! you too!
See you on Photowalk! Genia
My blog has been featured on Guide to Art Schools' list of the Top Architectural Photography Blogs.
It's funny: As soon as we have decided to remove the architecture portfolio from our portfolios and concentrate only on a product photography, we got such interest in our architecture photography:-)
Me and Alex like architecture, but for now a studio photography is much more interesting for us: concentrating only in a studio work we'll have more chances to become "world best" in what we do.. and we both won't accept less:-) But any way that's cool!
Half year ago we did a product photo-session for Vieler International.
Now Andre Vieler asked us to shoot exterior photos of the whole plant. We used a fork lifter to raise the photographer to a height where was much less perspective distortion. This works much better then any tilt/shift lens, I wish we could have such lifter for all of our architectural projects:-)
Here I'll show you how I did a post-production, some parts of work flow. Here is the image before and after:

Mandir is the name for a Hindu place of worship and prayer. The word mandir is composed of two words, Man and Dir, whose meanings are mind and still, respectively. Therefore, a mandir is a place where the mind becomes still; a place where we experience peace from worldly problems. For centuries, the mandir has remained a spiritual, educational, social and physical cornerstone of Indian society.
Read more information about Mandir
It is very unusual to find something like this in Georgia. The place is truly beautiful and the marble carvings are amazing. Unfortunately we can take photos only from a distance. The rest beauty I'll try to remember:-)

This article is for those who do not have tilt shift adapter or TS lens and still do architecture photography.
However, you can easily correct camera lens distortions using Photoshop or other photo software.
Below you can find list of software for lens distortion and perspective correction and tutorial how to fix it in Adobe Photoshop

You can buy all this images in High Resolution on our stock photos web sites:
I would like to share some examples on how we do a post-processing for architectural photography. Below you'll see before and after images with explanation what we did and how. Sometime the result looks like HDR, but it is not a real HDR, where HDR processor compiles several images into one. The results often looks not real, showing non-existent lighting and colors. Which is OK for the Art, but unacceptable for a commercail photography.

The project: Move an existing Wordpress Website into a new Wordpress site, creating new looking and beautiful home page and sub pages. We'd really like to present a beautiful redesign and focus on as many on-page SEO practices as possible. There are roughly 370 pages on the site.
Our new install is using the Genesis Framework as the theme and Beaver Builder as the page builder and Gravity Forms for any form work. Beaver Builder will be used and you will save items as reusable components that end up making headers/navigation/footers/etc... please create reusable elements for our future use.
We will provide these and any plugins. NO CRACKED OR FREE PLUGINS ARE TO BE USED ON THIS SITE.
Here are the priorities for this redesign:
The pages have to be SEO optimized. They need to have H1 and H2 tags with the focus keyword that is relevant to the page. The homepage has to have enough written content to game some level of authority. Ours already performs well, so please keep to those standards, making improvements where necessary.
We need the topical pages to be conversion focused. Calls to action for phone calls, and form submissions, above or near the fold. Beaver Builder has a modal feature that you can drop a form into if space becomes an issue in that regard.
The design has to reflect the friendly and professional nature of the business. Please review the current site for a sense of brand and aesthetic. We'll provide additional images and graphics you can use.
This site really needs to be beautiful and any rewritten English needs to be perfect. Please do not bid unless you can 100% meet these requirements. If this site is a success, we have many more websites to be built.

There is this running joke on TV shows where someone is served a piece of vegan cake, perhaps at a birthday party, and it's horrible. The person spits it out or chews endlessly and makes the obligatory comments about how it tastes like dirt, cud, sandpaper, or something else you would never want to eat. After all, how can anyone bake anything moist and fluffy without dairy and eggs? Well, guess what? Not only is it possible to bake amazingly moist and fluffy muffins and cakes without dairy or eggs, it's also incredibly easy. With these helpful tips, you can offer someone a vegan muffin or piece of cake and they won't make any derogatory comments about it. They'll be too busy devouring it and rolling their eyes at how good it is. The only words you might hear will be them asking for seconds or the recipe.
1. Prep Work
Important steps happen even before you make the batter. Always start with the oven. Make sure the rack is in the middle and then preheat the oven at least 15 minutes before you begin baking. Don't put batters into the oven the second it beeps to say it's come to temperature. Let it be at that temperature for 15 minutes or more to ensure the oven is heated properly.
Line any muffin tins or cake pans before you start mixing the batter. Why? Some leavening agents like baking soda begin to work as soon as they get mixed into the batter. If you leave the batter sitting around while you line pans, you can miss the window and your baked goods won't rise as well.
Depending on the recipe you're using, there may be other things to do before mixing the batter: bring vegan butter or milk to room temperature so they don't seize up, mix vinegar into non-dairy milk to make vegan buttermilk and prepare any egg replacements such as flax gels.
2. Leavening Agents
Leavening occurs when dough ferments which causes baked goods to rise. This is necessary when making cakes, cookies, muffins and breads. Fluffy baked goods require leavening agents such as baking powder and/or baking soda. Make sure they are fresh as they do expire and old leavening agents will not work as well.
Eggs sometimes act as leavening agents in baked goods, especially if a recipe calls for more than one egg. It is possible to replace the eggs in any recipe. For leavening purposes, mixing two tablespoons of water with one tablespoon of oil and two tablespoons of baking powder will add lightness to your recipes. If you only need to replace the egg whites, try adding a combination of one tablespoon of agar powder with an equal amount of water that has been whipped, chilled, and then whipped again. You can also replace eggs with flax seeds, chia seeds, silken tofu, non-dairy yogurt, fruit puree or baking soda mixed with vinegar. See How to Cook and Bake Without Eggs and The Healthiest Egg Substitutions for Holiday Baking for more on egg replacement.
3. Don't Beat It
There is more to baking then just dumping everything into a bowl and mixing it together. Sift your flour so your baked goods will be lighter and fluffier. Measure the sifted flour properly by leveling the baking cups with a butter knife. Extra flour can make baked goods heavy, dense and dry. Combine all your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix it so all the ingredients are distributed well. Whisk the wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl.
Some recipes require creaming which is mixing butter with sugar, trapping air bubbles which along with the leavening agents will expand as they heat up, making baked goods rise and be fluffy. Creaming can be done by hand but it is best done with an electric mixer.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl in stages. I do it in thirds. After adding 1/3 of the wet ingredients, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix with a rubber spatula. Repeat until all the wet ingredients are combined with the dry ingredients. You don't need to beat or whip the ingredients. Fold them together until just combined. It's ok to have lumps and it's ok to still see specks of flour. Overbeating will develop the gluten more and lead to less fluffy cakes and muffins.
Immediately after folding the batter, distribute it evenly into the muffin cups or cake pans. Only fill the tins ¾ of the way because the cakes and muffins will rise. Open the oven and quickly put the tins in the oven and shut the door.
4. Don't Open the Oven
Did you know that every time you open the oven door to check on your baking, the oven can lose up to 30 degrees? Don't open the oven door until the last few minutes of baking when you have to check for doneness. If you need to peek at your goodies, turn on the oven light and look through the window in the oven door. If your oven doesn't have a window, deal with it. Just don't open the door. Learn about other baking errors we all make in How to Avoid 6 Common Baking Mistakes.
5. Don't Undercook
Cakes and muffins that are doughy and flat rather than light and fluffy are usually undercooked. They may look done on the top but if the middle isn't fully cooked, they will sink when they come out of the oven. The only exception to this rule is in gluten-free baking where it is better to undercook baked goods a little bit. Five minutes before the full baking time, stick a toothpick in your cakes or muffins. It should come out mostly clean but not fully dry. If it's wet, bake another 5 minutes and then check again. When the baked goods are done, take them out of the oven but leave them in their pans for 5 or 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Letting them cool for a bit in the pans makes them easier to remove without sticking.
6. Fluffy Recipes
Now that you know all the dos and don'ts of baking fluffy vegan cakes and muffins, it's time to preheat your oven and get baking. For the fluffiest cakes, try this Turkish Delight Cake, Peppermint Mocha Crumb Cake, Chocolate Marble Cake, Mini Red Velvet Cake with Fluffy Coconut Cream Frosting, Chocolate Potato Cake, Spicy Gingerbread Cake, Vegan Jaffa Cake, Vanellie Birthday Cake, Banana Walnut Bundt Cake, Hazelnut Coffee Cake, Tea and Chocolate Cake with Cocoa Crumble, and Pancake Cake with Sweet Potato Chocolate Frosting.
If muffins are more your style, we have so many amazing recipes to choose from. Try these Strawberry Chocolate Chip Buckwheat Muffins, Cinnamon Streusel Muffins, Carrot Gingerbread Muffins, Orange Poppy Seed Muffins, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins, Butternut Squash Muffins, Chocolate Marshmallow Muffins, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, Zucchini Blueberry Muffins, and Carrot Apple Muffins.
It isn't a lot of work to make fluffy cakes and muffins. Once you understand how baked goods rise and get fluffy, it's easy to make sure yours turn out this way every time. Happy baking!
For even more plant-based recipes and cooking how-to's, we highly recommend checking out Food Monster app, a food app available for both Android and iPhone. The app has over 8,000+ vegan recipes with 10+ recipes added daily Give it a try — and don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

Director's note:
A colleague in anthropology recently directed me to a new graduate zine, The Whirlwind, on race and geography and I was instantly struck by its remarkable content and innovative format. I knew or knew of many of the publication's contributors, most who have attended or expressed interest in IAAR events. And I have also been hearing much buzz about the critical mass of UNC graduate students from geography to sociology who have been meeting regularly and having vibrant conversations and presentations around race. Add to this my recent involvement in an effort to form a possible concentration on race in UNC's Anthropology Department and, then, my excitement over The Whirlwind —as yet another marker of a mounting campus interest in interrogating race — becomes clearer.
And so, I invited The Whirlwind's editor, Willie Wright, to author a guest blog post for us about how the publication came into being and what it's all about. As you will see, Willie wants to make sure that credit for the publication is shared. His post, therefore, does represent his take on how the zine came together but it stresses that, in the final analysis and throughout his vision for the publication, it was a collective effort involving other students and inspired by his collaborators and faculty mentors. I think it's an exciting development demonstrating the critical and forward thinking of emerging scholars on race. Enjoy Willie's post and see for yourself.
Karla Slocum
Willie J. Wright is a doctoral student in the Department of Geography and a Ford Foundation Pre-doctoral Fellow. His research interests include, Black Geographies, Black Radicalism, critical spatial theory, food justice, and alternative agri-food systems, in general. His dissertation seeks to understand the Republic of New Afrika's alternative spatial strategies and politics in Detroit, Michigan and Jackson, Mississippi.
Behind The Whirlwind
Institutionally speaking, the The Whirlwind began in courses I have taken during my two years of graduate study at UNC (and Duke). Seminars and workshops on race, racism, and liberation with Drs. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Karolyn Tyson, and Alvaro Reyes are where I engaged in dialogue regarding injustices of the past and present. Those classrooms are also where I became acquainted with many talented friends/future colleagues with whom I respect for their intellect, candor, humor, and dedication to doing more than merely quantifying and qualifying the many transgressions that occur within our world – interestingly, but a few of them made it into the inaugural edition of The Whirlwind. The focus of the first issue was to examine the ways in which race, racial oppression, and human geographies intersect transnationally. I suspect that future copies will engage this focus in addition to issues of (racial) capitalism, gender & sexuality, ableism, and many other concerns of everyday life.
This spring some of my newfound friends – I cannot help but refer to them as friends, because their friendship exceeds their colleague-ness – and I created an informal 'race group' to discuss, further, concepts introduced to us via Dr. Reyes's course on Liberation Geographies last fall, namely Afro-Pessimism and Black Geographies. Within those sporadic – we truly intended to meet more regularly – meetings we challenged the readings and one another. Unbeknownst to me, the bits of information we extracted from Frank Wilderson, III, Hortense Spillers, Jared Sexton, Angela Davis, and others instilled into my mind. These writers wrestle with the ethics and politics of Blackness in the Americas, specifically in the U.S, and attempt to understand – and derive tactics and strategies from – the political potential of Blackness as a marginalized state of being – that derives from America's era of enslavement – within civil society.
Our interrogation of these readings eventually gave formation to "Racial Violence as Environmental Racism," an essay that appears in The Whirlwind, and that I first presented, alongside the works of Pavithra Vasudevan and Mike Dimpfl, at the 2014 Dimensions of Political Ecology Conference. Encouragement from these two that I "do something" with the essay, coupled with my exploration of oft-independently published readings on the Black Radical Tradition, came together as a simple, yet, novel idea – to create a zine. The Whirlwind includes a variety of works from researchers near and far. There are field notes from Adam Bledsoe's current work in Bahia, Brazil, a cartographic presentation of Stevie Larson's research on race and Korean adoptees in Minnesota, along with poetic contributions on gender/race/sexuality from Solly Mo, a doctoral student at Michigan State University, and an ode (of sorts) to the "shadows" by Pakizah, a local poet and performance artist.
Though I believe the work of my friends to be strong enough for inclusion in more established scholarly collections, I did not want to wait for the peer review of PhDs before our thoughts – those emerging and those more sound – were read and critiqued. Besides, I am well aware that our elders, ancestors, and contemporaries – many of whom were/are not academics – have, for centuries now, created and disseminated knowledge of their own accord. If they could do so, often under extremely oppressive conditions, then why couldn't we students do the same? Given my paucity of knowledge regarding creative layout schemes and fancy design softwares, I figured Microsoft Word and a zine format would be the easiest way to get a manuscript produced in time for the annual Association of American Geographers (AAG) conference in Tampa, Florida; I was plotting on AAG as a launch site before I had submissions other than my own. I envision The Whirlwind's distribution in physical and virtual forms. Indeed, the internet is a very useful conduit for the mass distribution of information; however, there is something endearing about having a text in hand – similar to the difference between an email and a hand-written letter. The effects of the two, in my opinion, are worlds apart. Also, given that The Whirlwind's target audiences are institutional and organic intellectuals, we felt it pertinent to provide multiple modes of accessing the zine and its content.
After receiving thought-provoking proposals, making time-consuming edits, and getting words of encouragement from my esteemed Assistant Editor, Solly Mo, there emerged, a whirlwind of ideas and illustrations ready for the world. We hope that our words and graphics challenge you – as we have been challenged – to gaze and to act.

Audiences will be seeing quite a bit of Virginia Madsen this week when both The Number 23 and The Astronaut Farmer open simultaneously. In Number 23, Madsen plays the wife of a dog catcher [Jim Carrey] who becomes obsessed with a book that appears to be based on his life but ends with a murder that has yet to happen in real life. Madsen plays dual roles, also the alluring temptress who appears in the book. It's quite the stretch – and new found career – for one of Hollywood's most in demand actresses, who talked exclusively to Paul Fischer.
Question: When you read The Number 23, having played Harrison Ford's wife prior to that, how important was it for you to make sure that this was not going to be simply a wife character that you really need to put some meat to this woman?
Madsen: Well I knew it would be different because it was Jim Carrey and I'd been trying to work with him for many years. There are certain actors that I've really wanted to work with and he was one of them and I wanted to do a drama with him. I didn't want to do a comedy with him although I'd love to now that I know him. But Joel, you know I auditioned for St Elmo's Fire.
Question: Oh my god, you must have been, what, twelve?
Madsen: I was really, I actually thought that was too young and that was when I was still in Chicago. But you know just the right projects like that come around and I so was very happy to play Agatha. I thought it would be a great journey and I loved the end scene when he's sort of breaking down and then Joel asked what I thought of playing Fabrizia, to my shock and horror. I didn't know everyone was going to be playing these dual roles. I assumed that Jim was going to be Fingerling but I didn't think the rest of us would be doing the same thing. I thought they would be casting someone much younger to be Fabrizia. And so I was flattered by I was also – I didn't know if I could pull it off.
Question: It must be gratifying though to be seen as both sexy and maternal I suppose, or sexy and sort of homely and wifely.
Madsen: Yeah. That's the beauty of Joel having been around as long as I have is that Joel remembers me playing parts like that and I thought it was a great opportunity to sort of play with the two images of Virginia Madsen. You know, the two different ways that I am seen, and one was as the femme fatale and the other one was sort of the nice, nurturing woman like Mia in Sideways.
Question: Do it remind you of how fun it was to play the femme fatale when you were doing this or are you glad to have …..
Madsen: It was fun for about the first three hours. After that, you know every time I put her on and you know I have this wonderful make up artist and hairdresser and then she would sort of stare back at me defiantly from the mirror and saying, 'Let me out. This is my turn to play'. And would ohhhhhh. And you know for a woman like me to be that character I have to really be brave. I have to really give myself permission to be that sexually powerful, you know, publicly. Because I'm modest. My nature, it's just in my nature.
Question: In private you're modest?
Madsen: Not necessarily in private. But I mean it's just kind of in my nature, I'm a Virgo. So I had to – it took inspiration to put myself into that mindset and to be able to walk on the set with not very much on and to sort of wield my sexuality like a weapon.
Question: And with Jim Carry which is a very unusual …
Madsen: Yeah, who I was really attracted to as well and Jim was just so, god he was so sexy when he had that tattoo on and everything and he looked like sort of this rock n roll punk and I was like 'Hey'. But I needed to dominate him and Jim's not a man easily dominated, you know. He's extremely masculine. He's a very powerful individual. And he's physically very tall, you know. He's physically very strong and so I'd rather Jim throw me up against the wall than me throwing him up against the wall. But I had to deal with that kind of reversal. I actually quite liked throwing him up against the wall I have to say now that I think about it. I just didn't like when I had to be hateful, when I had to throw my shoes at him. Because this is a woman who hates men, you know. She uses sexuality as a weapon and she despises men. You know, I had to look at him like 'You pathetic idiot'.
Question: So she's clearly the antithesis of you.
Madsen: Yeah. And I don't hate men. I love men. So it's kind of, I have a much healthier sexuality than she does. And the other thing was is it was very isolating being her because when I would stomp onto the set, like just I'm all that, and all the women would like suddenly have something they had to do. The women would get very very busy around me and not really talk to me. And then the men would sort of stop in their tracks and that was very fun in the beginning. But then they would walk way and not be able to talk to me. And then Jim wasn't talking to me because he was listening to Nine Inch Nails on his iPod so by the end of the day I was lonely. So I'd want to put on my jeans and a sweatshirt and hang out with the crew. I didn't like being that woman.
Question: Did you feel it necessary to do any kind of research at all on this whole 23 phenomenon before you ….
Madsen: Well I already knew about it. You know I have so much fun with all that kind of stuff, you know, the UFOs and the yeti and 23. I mean it's all kind of – it's just kind of a hobby. I really enjoy all those shows about ghosts that are on the Discovery Channel. So I already knew about it but of course once you start making a movie like this it's everywhere, you know. The whole crew, I mean everybody was seeing 23s in their sleep and you know suddenly the cameraman, who had denied it from the beginning, and suddenly he said 'Oh my god I've been married for 23 years. I met my wife on the twenty-third'. He was like 'It's true!'. And then, you know as I'm talking to you I look out the window and the address across the street is 323.
Question: Oh how funny.
Madsen: It's everywhere. You're going to start seeing it everywhere.
Question: Yeah great, that's fabulous. That's all I need.
Madsen: You know what? It's fun. I don't think it means the world's going to end.
Question: When I was talking to Billy Bob Thornton recently he was telling me that he was tired of playing these assholes that he's been playing but he really loves the Astronaut Farmer which is of course a very different film for him and he was saying it's one of his favourite movies in quite some time. What's your take on that film?
Madsen: I love when Billy Bob's the hero. I mean, I know that everyone loves Bad Santa but I don't like him like that. You know, terrific performance but I love when he's the hero because it's closer to who he is. And it's just, you know, this film was important to me for another reason also because it was a family film.
Question: You haven't done many of those actually.
Madsen: I know. There's no alternative most of the time for families. And especially with like a few kids that are different ages, you know, the old kid is not going to want to go see animated feature. But all the kids will be able to enjoy the film and also I don't want to go see the animated feature, you know what I mean? I want a film that I can enjoy like Eight Below. That was great because we could both enjoy that. And it's a work season so the films that are out there now are really intense heavy dramas. There's a lot of dysfunction. There's a lot of violence and death and sex and there's a lot of …. so what do you want to do if you want – you know, this is a happy movie. And I love that there's finally a happy movie.
Question: Is she a very simple, supportive wife?
Madsen: She's kind of eccentric don't you think? I mean my god her husband's building a rocket in the barn and she thinks that's OK. And you know, she's like ' Oh yeah. The Mission Control out here . Yeah, that's a great idea.'
Question: It's really a film about trying to fulfil your dreams though right?
Madsen: It brings these ideas of dreaming and going into space into the forefront, you know. Because we've sort of gotten really a little bit blasé about space travel and why it's important to us. You know, when you see a launch of the shuttle – I'm sure you don't stop what you're doing and watch the shuttle take off, you know. But yet you see that the people that are actually there watching it are still in awe. And my son's best friend wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. An eleven year old boy. And the other kids, there's other kids. They're like, 'Huh? Oh how do you do that? Can you do that?' I'm like 'Yes you can!' So I would love if this would inspire kids to want to be astronauts or to at least talk about how amazing it is and how difficult it is to go into space. This is like a big thing for a little kid, this movie.
Question: How disappointed were you about the failure or shortlivedness of a TV show that everyone thought was going to be huge.
Madsen: Oh, for Smith? Well I wasn't that invested. In the beginning I was because it seemed like Ray and I would get to be Bonny and Clyde. That's what they sold me and you know, that's not what I got. What I got? I got a book club. That was the last script. I said 'You're joking. I have a book club?'. And they were like 'Oh we swear to god' and I was like 'But when do I get my gun?'
Question: So you weren't that depressed when it was over then I take it.
Madsen: No Ray and I were very – because they wouldn't give scenes to Ray and I. And everybody in that cast has a really healthy feature film career going on, so they had to have told us something really exciting for all of us to sign on. Also it was only a year so we weren't stuck. It was just each year there would be a new cast. Actually John Wells had a great idea but they just weren't able to execute it, you know. So I think we were all kind of sad for them because they did have such a good idea but I think we were relieved that it was over.
Question: Now your healthy film career was revitalised in part because of Sideways even though I know you've been really itching to get back in there and now it seems to be going incredibly well.
Madsen: It's totally because of Sideways though. Because that kind of thing makes sense to the industry. Not only could they see really what kind of work I'm doing now, they could really see me. But they also saw a film that was successful and this is a business, you know. Before it's an art. Occasionally it can become artistic. But first, you know, it's a business and I think when producers can see a film being successful, it makes sense to them to hire you. And that's not, like I never took that kind of stuff personally, you know. And so I am very happy that it makes sense to them to hire me now.
Question: Are you surprised at how successfully things are going for you or not really?
Madsen: You know, I am grateful. I've been working for this all my life. So surprise suggests that it's something that's sort of suddenly you receive and it seemed to me that my career was kind of a slow groove and it was slowly getting up there and I knew that sooner or later it would happen. And if was later, that's OK. It still happened. But now, since it did happen later there's more of a sense of gratitude than surprise.
Question: Are you happy?
Madsen: Yes, very.
Question: Personally and professionally?
Madsen: Yes, very.
Question: Are you able to balance now because I think you've been working to get this career back on track you've forgotten how to live. Are you able to live a little bit now as well?
Madsen: Well I sort of made movies for two years kind of straight and I was filming Smith at the same time as filming 23. And then after Smith was done I took all this time off, had all these months off to be with my son, get settled in a new house and experience the holidays together and his dad was working a lot so that was good that I was home. And now it's time for me to go back to work again.
Question: What are you going to be doing?
Madsen: I don't know yet. I haven't read anything that I like.
Question: Are you being offered stuff that is clichéd.
Madsen: Some of it, yeah. There's a lot of cliché stuff out there and there's just not a lot of good scripts that are being made right now. And even stuff, you know I've formed my own production company so I've been reading tons of scripts just to see if I could help get something made and I'm not even finding those. I've optioned a couple of books and I've found one script that I want to do that I haven't been able to get financing for yet. But you know, even just writing samples that I've read, I just haven't read anything that I really loved, you know. And I need to really love it in order to do it.

Four-Act Theory of Everything
I need a roadmap. I'm not disciplined enough to stick to a simple, clean through-line when I'm storycrafting. I need an unflappable navigation system to steer me true north. So over the years I've refined a master mindmap charting the gotta-haves and put-it-heres.
Storytelling is structure. Screenwriting is structure. There's your secret to success. If you sucked in a breath just now and narrowed your eyes and formed the word "but..." in your mind, you are wrong. But you can be cured. Zen with me now: screenwriting is structure. Take your medicine. Fight that burning fever driving you to start writing with no outline. Without even a logline! Drink deep and drink again and feel the pain and anguish lift and drift away. You were lost but you are found. Screenwriting is structure.
Dan Harmon is our gen-X Joseph Campbell. I mean that in a good way — not that it could be construed in a bad way. Nobody distills monomyth four-act writing like Dan. Also, nobody makes John Goodman cool again like Dan.
Only when I stumbled across the School of Dan Harmon* did everything click — really click. That guy knows. It's scary at first how totally he gets it. Thankfully, Dan's wisdom lies scattered throughout the interwebs. You should go find all those little pockets of storytelling treasure (hint: alongside Dan's name google "channel 101" and "acceptable.tv"). Also read this.
Dan's insight helped me understand and organize my years of story structure notes — an ongoing process, one I expect to end only when I do.
Here's the birdseye of My Precious...
* Not an actual school, but let's lobby for one.

We'll start by re-viewing URLs.
By the end of today, you will be able to:
The goal of CSS is to take over all the formatting of a website,
which used to be done with now-obsolete HTML tags
. Modern websites are formatted using
CSS, so that the same content (HTML) might be rendered different ways
depending on the device (laptop, notebook, phone) and the CSS
A tour de force example of that is csszengarden.com, in which the same content is rendered in shockingly different ways. We'll take a few minutes to view a few examples and look at the source. If you use Firefox to view it, you can easily turn off the CSS and see what it looks like plain.
Next time, we'll learn about selecting elements with ID and CLASS, and adding background images.
In short, if you find yourself wanting to change the appearance of your page by changing the HTML, you're thinking about it the wrong way. On the other hand, we will sometime have to modify the HTML in order to provide the containers and hooks to allow the CSS to work, including classes and IDs.
The basics of CSS are:
If all of the following are specifying the same property value for an element, which one wins?
external style file
document level style tag
inline style attribute
It's up to the user
Why should we use external style files?
an external style file can apply to all the pages of a site
an external style file gives you one place to specify a rule
an external style file reduces redundancy
all of the above
In addition, an external style file can be cached by a browser, which can speed up the loading of subsequent pages (though this can be a hassle during development).
How do we specify an external style file?

<link rel="stylesheet"> </link>
<document> </document>
How do we specify an inline rule to make an emphasis tag be bold?
This is really important.
This is really important.
This is really important.
This is really important.
Using this jsfiddle on cascading CSS,
which has an external CSS file, do the following steps. Note that you
can type your CSS into the box at the upper right; that's the same as
typing it into a

Photos by WNED/WBFO Staff
Stepping outside today you would not know that technically it is still summer. It was a nice crisp 33˚ in my neighborhood at 7 a.m. Fully dressed in a trench coat and leggings under my dress I began my day. So If you're not quite ready to give up that summertime feeling and need to warm up (my fingers are working overtime for heat right now) check out some of these wonderful photos from our resident über-photographers and drift away to the not so distant past.
By the way... It's going be a balmy 77˚ on Friday!

Sorry for the 1 (or 2?) week hiatus. Last week I was blinded in the last 5 minutes of the show by that girls heinous sequined maxi draw string evening gown and it took me a week to recover.
Now I can see again. Unlike Kelly.
We find ourselves moving along with the girls to Vietnam this week and we get to watch them inorganically immerse themselves into Vietnamese culture in a big game of "Producer Says."
First up is a date card, and it's for Renee! AWWW! And it says "Are we a good FIT?" AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! The girls be like, omg, that is SO cute! Pabs is SOOO sweet! The only issue? There is no chance in hell Pabs put that sentence together. That's aside from the fact that these cards have had the same handwriting since 1972 when the Bachelor premiered.
Renee and Pabs leave to go on their date and it starts out with him pushing her around in a baby stroller. Literally, this sh*t couldn't have been more awkward unless Renee was sucking on a pacifier. Pabs is excited because he and Renee have so much in common. The laundry list went as follows:
– I'm 32. She's 32.
– We both have children
– She's….me!
Aside from the fact that this basically sums up my deal breaker list, I'm pretty sure Renee has more to offer than that Pabby. JUST A GUESS.
After the baby stroller ride ends, they end up at the markets where they walk and fake talk and buy ugly gifts for their children. Literally, what 8-year-old boy would wear that hat? It confused me. Like return to sender, please. That is, unless you are dressing up like Raiden and playing Mortal Kombat in your house and kicking the sh*t out of your friend who is Scorpio and you're like OMG FINISH HIM. I WANT THAT HAT. SEND ME THAT HAT.
Back to the markets, Pabs is the sweatiest mother effer I have ever seen. I MEAN, worse than that James Case guy who got under booby sweat through his shirt that one time on the stairs with Des. Which, it's pretty obvious I never forgot because, until then, I didn't know guys had big enough tits to produce sweat there. Anyway, dulled out canarie yellow wasn't really the smartest choice for Pabs to wear, but at least tracking his sweat distracted me from their empty conversation.
Flash forward to dinner and I think they are still sweating profusely. Renee has changed into an iridescent silk dress – which needed to be set on fire. But seriously, ANY OTHER COLOR SILK wouldn't have done you good?
Pabs makes up more stupid rules about kissing where he, again, contradicts himself more than Lindsay Lohan saying she's grown up and sober every ten minutes.
Back at the house we hear more girls bitch about wanting 1-1 dates which is extremely annoying because you are in Vietnam surrounded by (some) fun girls and unlimited booze. It's heaven when you aren't on the dates! And this is a competition that you want to WIN! Just kidding, it's a journey of love. And the prize is a Neil Lane ring you'll have to return in 6 months' time.
Next is the group date where the girls float around in mini boat baskets in the poop brown river. Not 1 person jumped to partner with Juan, because it's pretty clear that would be a death sentence where you'd have nothing to talk about.
Clare makes the best of having no friends and makes out with Pabs in the basket in a very awkwardly uncomfortable position. I am glad she made the move, but it didn't look like anything of Juan's was moving. And yes, I paused, HERE. It's such a joy when guys wear shorts.
After the make out sesh in the smelly river, the girls put on Raiden hats and go into a field. They oooh and ahhh over CROPS! And produce!!! Because, ya know, girls who go on the Bachelor are sooooooooo DTE and love to hunt and gather their food like wildebeests. Cassandra goes into what they are doing for this portion of the date, and how excited she is…which which we all know is complete bulls*it because no gold digger likes to go farming. Or a 20-year-old, no less.
BLAH BLAH BLAH…group date night portion…Kelly says some entertaining comments…BLAH BLAH BLAH. Clare is getting too much attention. Date over.
OR IS IT?!?!??!?!? Clare has just had the best day EVER picking crops and riding in baskets in sewage – she really doesn't want it to end!!!! So…Clare goes over to Pabs' suite and decides to wake him up. She reveals that her bucket list item is to swim in warm water at which point all of America cracks up. She clearly wanted to say a different word for 'swim' but decided to Disney-fy it for ABC. The benefit? Her stupid effing bucket list. Clare's life consists of no octopus eating and no hot water. She's like, Slumdog Millionaire, minus the millionaire.
The two of them going in the ocean and do some dirty things…I just hope for the other girls' sake she was taking her Valtrex.
Clare's sub par Courtney imitation leads us into the next date…
Nikki!…Who finally gets the 1-1 date she never ever in a million effing years wanted; rappelling down a cave with Pabs and sweating her ass off while doing so. At least her hair looked cute. Though, it looked slightly cuter in her Interviews than on the real date (but still a good try for matching it! A++). I am not sure what happened during the rest of their date because I was online shopping and got distracted. Not for nothing I bought a really amazing leather shirt. Either way, keep what you're doing Nikki, looking cute and cracking me up.
Fast forward to the rose ceremony and Pabs' sells out Clare faster than the Target Missoni Collection. Pabs' sex and kissing rules are harder to figure out than a game of clue while heavily intoxicated. THEY MAKE NO SENSE. After they BOTH agree to go in the ocean and hook up, Pabs decides he needs to do some damage control for his daughter Cameeeeeeela, and essentially calls Clare a cheap rapey hooker. Not fair. Takes two to tango, bra. Don't agree with him and in no way shape or form will that excuse what you did. No doubt Camila will be watching that sexcapade on youtube with her cabbage patch kid.
The rose ceremony commences, and apparently curly-haired girl said a couple of words. I missed it. But this is me, still not caring.
Kelly my FAVE gets the boot, which unfortunately I knew was coming…since, much like me, she had minimal conversations with the Bachelor but a TON OF FUN talking sh*t (and being witty) about everything else. Thank you for making this show entertaining KELL. Now I don't care that I'll be missing the next two episodes.
My top 3 FOR PABS:
1) Nikki
2) Renee
3) Andi
What did you all think?

'The Nest' Sculpture Unveiled on Former Norwich City Football Ground site
On Friday 3rd February a new sculpture for the City will be unveiled on the former Norwich City Football Ground, known locally as 'The Nest'.
Hopkins Homes, who have developed the site on Rosary Road, commissioned Norwich University College of the Arts (NUCA) to create the sculpture. Run as a project through the commercial ideas factory@NUCA, students in Fine Art were given the opportunity to submit a proposal to create a lasting reminder of the historical background of the site while considering its future use.
'The Nest' by student Liz Mannion was selected by a panel which included Hopkins Homes and Norwich City Football Club.
The new exciting addition to the City's sculptural landscape stands 5m high with a 1.5m wide base. It is constructed of stainless steel and specialist concrete and NUCA worked closely with skilled craftsmen at local specialist architectural metalwork FW Hall, better known for working with yacht designers and builders, to create the vertical steel components and football shaped feature of the sculpture. These vertical steel components have been positioned to frame the view of the Cathedral. The textured surface of the base portrays the 'nest' element and the wooden seat is a reminder of the old wooden stadium.
NUCA Principal, Professor John Last commented, "NUCA is very appreciative of the opportunity that Hopkins Homes has given students to undertake this sculpture commission. This kind of practical commercial experience is a vital part of degree courses here at NUCA and gives students the chance to work with local businesses on real projects. I am really proud of the standard of all the students' submissions and especially Liz's final work which represents the historical and geographical nature of the site, whilst simultaneously reflecting the contemporary tone of the new buildings and the current local sporting optimism."
James Hopkins, Executive Chairman of Hopkins Homes said "The standard was incredibly high and all the finalists would have been worthy winners and have made an exciting contribution to the City's public art.

Happy 94th birthday gramps!
Heuer and I took a quick trip to Miami last week to spend some time with his grandpa who is turned 94 on April 29th.
Little bugger is moving a little slower these days, but as feisty as ever.
Was great to see Tony (Heuer's cousin" and his kids while there and getting four generations of family in a photo (gramps, Heuer's uncle Jack, Heuer and Tony, and Tony's kids). Lots of testosterone in the room. 🙂
Bucket List Item #45: Roasting a Pig.
You know those projects that sound so awesome, and so simple, but then mid way through it – make you stop and think to yourself – what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?
Welcome to ours…the do it yourself 100lb pig roast.
Heuer was coming up on the big 40 and when asked what he wanted to do for his party, he said immediately he wanted to do a pig roast in our backyard. Seems my Miami boy had a hankering to get close to his childhood roots and after a quick read on the internet…it sounded like it would be an easy thing to do.
* 48 Cinder blocks. Check.
* 7 sticks of 6′ rebar. Check.
* 100 lb Pig on order. Check.
* 12ft of aluminum chainlink material. Ruh roh.
I went to Home Depot. I went to Lowe's. I went to Discount Lumber here in San Francisco. I looked online. I looked online some more. For two weeks I spent every waking hour trying to find this mysterious aluminum chainlink material to finish the grill. I was starting to freak out. Every store has gone to galvanized steel fencing, and no one knew where I could get the aluminum. We had less than one week to go before the party and I was missing the most important piece to roast this damn pig.
A quick search on Amazon found a possible option in the Caja China/ Roasting Box/ Pig Roaster/ Cajun Microwave, but by the time I found it, it would not have gotten to us in time. Do we postpone the party? Do we cancel the order of the pig? Gah. What to do, what to do?
We have faith. That is what we do.
A random call to a random metal worker in Stockton I found online. Random metal worker says he has what I need and can ship it to me for $200 (plus the cost of the metal grate, which would be another $200), but wondered why I didn't just call Flynn & Enslow in San Francisco. Huh? Who is Flynn & Enslow I ask. I spent a week searching local businesses. They never showed up in my search. I called around 10 different places. No one mentioned them before. Me thinks Flynn & Enslow might want to invest in some marketing to help folks like me find them…or maybe they don't need the business. No matter. I call them. They have exactly what I need for the price I feel good about spending. They can have it ready in 24 hours. OMG. ::kristie does the happy dance::
Everything else falls into place.
We pick up the pig. Heuer brines her for 24 hours. Andy and Barce come over early on party day to help set up the grill. The sun is shining. Friends come over and lend a hand. The pig comes out. She is cooked perfectly
I want to thank everyone who pitched in to make this happen, especially Andy and Barce, who came over early and really made sure this went off without a hitch. Fellas – you two are the bees knees! Seriously. You rock.
And of course, I need to thank my Heuer. His idea. His plan. His birthday the reason we even went down this pig roasting path. Thank to his great idea, I can now check off 'roasting a pig' on my bucket list. Thanks honey. I love you.

November 10, 2012Reviewer: Anne in California* Wish I had read these reviews as well. I think it may just be a bottle of water. I added 15 drops to my glass of ice tea..nothing...so I kept adding in 5 drop increments. After 35 drops I gave up. Didn't change my tea a bit. Don't waste your money!
June 15, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Ohio* Do not waste your money! I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased this product. It doesn't sweeten anything.
June 06, 2010Reviewer: Morgan in Pennsylvania* SO weak. Don't bother.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 29, 2010Reviewer: Christopher in Maine* Agree with other reviewers. At best a very weak sweetener.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 22, 2010Reviewer: Cindy in Kansas* DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! This is a worthless product. Absolutely no sweetening power. Nothing!! 12 drops later in a cup of tea, still nothing. Tossed the whole bottle.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 16, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Western Australia* It may be all natural and good for you, but it does not sweeten to any noticeable degree. My husband added 8 drops to his 10 ounces of coffee and he could not even taste it beginning to sweeten it. I added 6 drops to my cup of tea with the same results. I will try to mix it with other sweeteners and see if I can get some synergistic effect. I tasted a single drop of it directly - and a single drop is very sweet by itself, but we cannot seem to notice it mixed into other things. Maybe if we used a half teaspoon at a time - which for a tiny bottle just is not worth the price for us. I don't understand how they say it is 500 times sweeter than sugar - maybe before they dilute it in water?

Why Gilles Villeneuve was the greatest F1 driver of them all
35 years since that fatal crash, TG makes the case for Villeneuve's brilliance
For race fans of a certain age, May 8th 1982 is our JFK moment. Like many others, I will forever remember precisely where I was and what I was doing when the news came through that Gilles Villeneuve had been killed during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix that Saturday afternoon. It wasn't entirely a surprise – Villeneuve frequently drove right on the ragged edge, so having a big one was always a distinct possibility – but it was still a shock to hear that my all-time number one sporting hero was gone.
It was both the hardships of his early years of racing and his maximum attack approach that made Villeneuve special. The story of his early career couldn't be more different to that of fellow Canadian and current Williams F1 driver Lance Stroll. Stroll's father is a billionaire businessman and consequently Stroll Junior's early career was extremely well funded and his rise to F1 fast tracked. Villeneuve however often ran his own car and paid for his early car racing with his winnings from snowmobile races. And whilst Stroll is clearly no slouch – he blitzed the 2016 Euro Formula 3 Championship – he has looked slightly out of his depth in his first four F1 races. Villeneuve by contrast looked completely at ease from the moment he first shared a track with the world's best drivers.
Villeneuve first came to notice in 1976 when he was competing in the North American Formula Atlantic Series. In September that year the organisers of the race at Trois Rivieres in Canada brought in a number of star drivers to spice things up. Amongst them were several F1 stars of the time including James Hunt, who was only a matter of weeks away from winning his F1 World Championship, and 1980 World Champion Alan Jones. The unknown Villeneuve wiped the floor with the lot of them and Hunt returned to his McLaren team in England raving about this new Canadian hot-shoe.
The following summer Villeneuve got his F1 break driving a third McLaren alongside Hunt at Silverstone. His approach to tackling the fastest car he'd ever driven on the fastest circuit he'd ever seen was classic Villeneuve. He said at the time: "The simplest way to find the limit is to go quicker and quicker until you go over it. Then you come back from it a bit and think about the next corner." This approach saw him spin numerous times in practice – but he was fast. He qualified ninth and ran seventh in the race until pitting to check a faulty temperature gauge. He also posted the fifth fastest lap of the race – not bad considering that unlike his two team mates he was driving the ancient McLaren M23 which was by then in its fifth season.
McLaren unfathomably decided not to sign Villeneuve for the following season with team boss Teddy Mayer deciding that "he was looking as though he might be a bit expensive", going instead for the more conservative Patrick Tambay. McLaren's loss was Ferrari's gain as Villeneuve was brought in by the Italian team for the final two races of 1977. He would remain with Ferrari for the rest of his career throughout which drama was never far away. In just his third grand prix in Japan '77, Villeneuve touched wheels with Ronnie Peterson and his Ferrari was launched over the barriers killing a spectator and a marshal. He was absolved of all blame but it was not a good start to his Ferrari career. The following April he was comfortably leading his seventh grand prix – the US GP at Long Beach when he came up to lap Clay Regazzoni. He made his move a little early, touched wheels and was launched over the top of Regazzoni's Shadow, leaving a tyre mark on the Swiss driver's helmet! It was fittingly at his home race in Canada later that year at the circuit that would later bear his name, that Villeneuve finally took his first F1 victory.
Under intense pressure for most of the race Villeneuve led home a five-car train covered by just 1.2 seconds at the flag. It was to be his last win
Canada '78 was the first of his six wins from sixty-seven starts – statistics that don't come close to reflecting Villeneuve's supreme talent. A more measured approach to his racing might have yielded more results but he wouldn't have achieved his legendary status had that been his style. Villeneuve's audacity was most famously demonstrated at the 1979 French Grand Prix when Renault's Rene Arnoux passed him for second place with three laps to go. Villeneuve was having none of it, and throughout the final lap the two cars banged wheels too many times to count. It was possibly the most dramatic F1 lap of all time and if you've never seen it I suggest you YouTube it immediately. Villeneuve came out on top and took the second place with Jean-Pierre Jabouille taking his and Renault's first win at their home grand prix. Unfortunately, thanks to Gilles, nobody was watching.
Villeneuve might have won the championship in 1979 had he chosen to ignore team orders at Monza and pass his team mate Jody Scheckter for the win, but Gilles was a principled bloke and did as he had promised, staying put in second place less than half a second behind at the flag. He finished second in the championship that year to Scheckter, missing out by just four points. He made his point at the final race of the year at Watkins Glen where he was fastest by nine, yes nine seconds, in Friday's wet practice and went on to take his fourth win on the Sunday.
1980 was a disaster with the uncompetitive Ferrari earning him best results of a pair of fifths, but 1981 looked more promising as Ferrari introduced its first turbocharged engine. The Ferrari 126CK had huge horsepower but terrible handling but nonetheless Villeneuve took improbable back to back victories in Monaco and Spain. In the Spanish Grand Prix his tactic was simple – he somehow got his Ferrari up front and then backed up the much faster opposition in the corners before blasting away on the straights. Under intense pressure for most of the race Villeneuve led home a five-car train covered by just 1.2 seconds at the flag. It was to be his last win.
1982 looked promising. The new Ferrari was a vast improvement and had it not been for horrific accidents to both Villeneuve and team mate Didier Pironi that summer, one of them would surely have won the championship. At round four in San Marino, F1 politics saw many teams boycott the race and with both Renaults retiring it looked like it was going to be a straightforward Ferrari 1-2 with Villeneuve ahead. However, because Villeneuve and Pironi were so far in front and fuel was marginal for this race the team ordered its drivers to slow down. Villeneuve took this to mean hold positions but Pironi didn't agree and snuck past to take the win. Villeneuve felt betrayed and vowed never to speak to Pironi again. Two weeks later he was dead.
At Zolder for the Belgian Grand Prix, Villeneuve was out on track in final qualifying with just eight minutes remaining. Pironi had just bettered his time by 0.1 seconds and Gilles was pressing on. He was closing fast on Jochen Mass's March and in a split-second Villeneuve went to pass on the right just as Mass also veered right in order to free up the racing line. It was a simple misunderstanding but what followed was like a plane crash. The Ferrari was launched into the air and disintegrated as it rolled. Villeneuve was thrown clear of the wreckage and pronounced dead that evening.
At his funeral back in Canada, Jody Scheckter delivered the eulogy, saying "I'll miss Gilles for two reasons. First, he was the most genuine man I have ever known. Second, he was the fastest racing driver in the history of motor racing".
Sadly Ferrari's tragic 1982 season didn't end there. In June Pironi was on pole for the Canadian Grand Prix but stalled at the start. Osella's Riccardo Paletti, making just his second grand prix start, slammed into the rear of the Ferrari, his car bursting into flames and killing the poor Italian. And then in August during untimed practice for the German Grand Prix, Pironi, who had already secured pole position, was running flat out in the rain. Poor visibility left Alain Prost's slowing Renault unsighted and Pironi ran into the back of him. The accident was strangely similar to Villeneuve's and Pironi suffered multiple fractures to both legs. He would never race in F1 again and was killed in 1987 in a powerboat racing accident off the Isle of Wight.
Gilles's son Jacques of course went on to secure the racing CV that his father should have had. He won the Indy 500, the 1995 Champ Car series, the 1997 F1 World Championship and eleven Grand Prix victories. Like his dad he was competitive the moment he stepped into an F1 car, scoring pole position, fastest lap and second place in his first ever grand prix. But despite his obvious ability, you won't find his name on lists of the all-time greats. His dad however, might not have been as complete a driver as a Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Prost, Senna, Schumacher or Alonso, but for me he was the fastest, most exciting of them all. As far as I'm concerned, he was the greatest driver that ever lived.

It always irks me a little when a reviewer is annoyed that a character doesn't fit into their world-view. Or, heck, when a person gets annoyed at someone else's behavior because that behavior doesn't fit in their worldview.
Ah, so many ways to live. :)

It was fun when writing this week of strips to suddenly see the double meaning of the phrase. It's something I am constantly doing, seeing more than one meaning to words or phrases and then jotting them down.

I have always been obsessed with peach iced tea. When I lived in Washington I used to buy the enormous 32 ounce cans for $0.99- it was my go to summer drink. Needless to say, those drinks have a TON of sugar in them but I just didn't care because it tasted so good and it was such a refreshing drink on a hot summer day.
When I was approached to try Pure Leaf Canada's line of unsweetened iced teas and to try different ways to tweak each tea I jumped at the chance. The unsweetened teas have no sugar, artificial sweeteners, or calories which makes them a much healthier option than my iced tea in a can.
I always see those pretty pictures of infused water on social media and I'll pin/save them and think "I'm going to try that" and never do because I always forget. Pure Leaf shared all the different potential fruits and herbs I could try with their tea and it inspired me to actually get chopping and experiment.
The first one I tried was the black tea with nectarine, I paired it with nectarine topped french toast for an awesome breakfast. Perfect Instagram picture! And of course, nothing says summer like nectarines.
The next tea I tried was the unsweetened green tea with watermelon and apple and WOW is that ever a good combination. Seriously, infuse watermelon in your drinks right now- it's so good! I think the green tea infuses the fruit flavour better than the black tea and it felt light and refreshing. I actually saved that one and sucked it down after a long run.
I have yet to try the unsweetened lemon tea because I want to try it with mint. Sounds yummy doesn't it? I'm also thinking of pairing it with peach since peach iced tea is my favourite! Peach mint iced tea? Why not!
If you're like me and have been seeing the pretty picture but haven't tried infusing yet, give it a try. It's a refreshing and healthy summer drink option. I need to go out and buy one of those infuser water bottles so I can play with different ways to tweak my tea.
Do you infuse your water or tea? What's the ultimate combination I should try?

Civil rights groups oppose 10th Circuit nominee
Several civil rights organizations are opposing the nomination of an Oklahoma City attorney to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
In a letter this month to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the groups called Jerome Holmes a "longstanding and outspoken critic of affirmative action."
Among those who signed the letter were the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the Alliance for Justice, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the National Urban League and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
The 44-year-old Holmes served as a federal prosecutor in Oklahoma City from 1994 to 2005. He was nominated by President Bush last month for a seat on the Denver-based court.
The court hears appeals from courts in Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Kansas, New Mexico and Wyoming.
He would be the first black judge on the circuit court.

The client has two choices. They can pay the caregiver directly and the caregiver then pays a referral fee to our registry for assisting them in "finding clients".
The client can fund an escrow account, set up by the registry. An invoice is generated on behalf of each caregiver based on hours submitted and signed off on by the client. Payment is then made to the caregiver on behalf of the client. The caregiver is issued a 1099 tax form at the end of year and the client is issued a statement showing what they paid for home care services during the year. This provides safety and peace of mind for the client and caregiver that all documentation needed for tax related filings is satisfied.

There was no shortage of experience in the Scarva Rangers ranks on Saturday.
It is said the average age of the Scarva team which took to the pitch at Coalisland on Saturday afternoon was 37 years, possibly a record in Mid Ulster Division One but they couldn't stop a 5-0 loss.
They certainly didn't let themselves or their club down, expending every drop of energy they had during an arduous away encounter.
Only a single goal separated the sides until the final quarter. Late in the game goalkeeper Alan Hammond capped a superb display with a first class penalty save.
Coalisland are currently top of Division One while Scarva are rock bottom.
This would have been an easy fixture for the veterans to find an excuse not to travel to but they can be proud of the way they played.
The legs may not be as sprightly as they once were but the courage and character remains undiminished.
Special mention to those who have celebrated more than 37 birthdays; Ernie and Alan Hammond, Freddie McKelvey, Dawson Jones and Derek Patton for their evergreen performances.

I've never made cinnamon buns before... until now.
It's not too difficult.
It just takes time... and love.
Mostly just time... and maybe some cinnamon.
Cinnamon rolls
And yes, I took a picture of the ugly one that doesn't look like a roll.
Just use your imagination and pretend it looks pretty.
At least it was very tasty.
Remember, "looks aren't everything".

To help others fix the same problems I've encountered.
Welcome to my website
I recently purchased a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Ext Cab, I really like the truck but it had a few little issues I wanted to fix. The first issue was the stereo backlighting, just about all of the lights were burned out, so after removing that and resoldering all new bulbs (all ten) onto the circuit board, it now works perfect.
The next issue to tackle was the problem of the odometer/gear selector panel not lighting up, actually it lighted up intermittently but was very annoying. Now the avid interneter I am I figured that other people had the same problem and a resolve to the problem would be easy to find on the net. Well was I right, many people had the same issue however I was wrong about finding a fix for it, I've looked everywhere on the net to find out how to fix it, the only solution I found was to have the instrument cluster replaced, anywhere from 180 to 500 dollars. The way I looked at it was chances are it's a problem thats fixable, so I ripped mine apart and found the issue. I created this space on here for other people to see the step by step instructions so you can fix yours for the low cost of FREE, no parts required, just solder. I'm assuming that its the same issue with most since the symptoms are basically the same. I would say that the manufacturer of the circuit board didn't put enough solder on the joint and from movement the little bit of solder that was there easily breaks. I will say that I'm your average joe will some experience soldering but not much, even if you can't solder, you could still break it down and bring it to an electronics shop to solder it, it takes less than 1 minute to solder once you take it apart. I hope that this helps at least one person out there save money, all that I ask in return is you tell me that it helped you out and if you have questions let me know. Have a good day and good luck, Chris.

Director Bill Condon has revealed that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will be taking part in reshoots for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2.
The film-maker told Twilight fans – known as Twihards – on the film's Facebook page that he would be filming some extra scenes for the grande finale of the vampire franchise.
He said: 'Greetings from Los Angeles, where we're hard at work on BREAKING DAWN, PART TWO. It's truly crazy to think that it's been a year since we wrapped production in Vancouver, since for those of us in the editing room the work has never stopped.
'A film is a lot like a puzzle, with each piece – each shot, no matter how brief – needing to fit exactly with the ones around it.
'Our Part Two puzzle is finally coming into full view, and in a few weeks we'll be heading back north to pick up some additional shots – the last tiny missing pieces.
'We're not shooting any new scenes or dialogue, just some technical work with some of our cast and stunt actors.'
He added: 'Rob and Kristen will be there too, to pop in those gold contacts one last time…'
Stewart and Pattinson will be heading back to Vancouver, British Columbia, for the reshoots.
The director also announced that a new trailer would be released 'soon' for the movie along with the first posters.
Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, which revolves around Bella Swan's (Stewart) transition into a vampire after giving birth, is released on November 16.

Staff at Swain Community Hospital receive top ranking for patient experience
May 30, 2017
BRYSON CITY, N.C. – Staff caring for patients on Swain Community Hospital's main nursing unit have been recognized with a Healthgrades Outstanding Patient Experience Award™. The award is generated from patient feedback and covers the first quarter of 2017. Swain Community Hospital is one of 13 hospitals in North Carolina recognized for the outstanding patient experience award during this time period.
To determine the winners, Healthgrades evaluates patient experience performance through a 32-question survey of patients who have received inpatient care at the hospital. Hospitals in the top 15% with the highest overall patient experience scores are recognized as Healthgrades Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ recipients.
The Healthgrades award follows recognition in December by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services awarding the nursing staff at Swain Community Hospital with the highest score in the state on a patient satisfaction survey known as the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). The recognition was for the category of nurse communication.
"These recent recognitions mean the nursing staff at Swain Community Hospital do an exceptional job providing a world-class experience for the patients and families we are privileged to serve in Bryson City," said Steve Heatherly, CEO of Harris Regional Hospital and Swain Community Hospital. "The patient experience is as important as the clinical care we provide and we are proud of the staff's dedication in both of these areas."
The staff of Swain Community Hospital's main nursing unit care for patients with acute conditions as well as those recovering from procedures that require longer stays in the hospital's restorative care unit, also known as the 'swing bed' unit. The hospital also provides a range of outpatient services including an emergency department open 24 hours per day, a primary care physician practice, state-of-the-art imaging procedures, laboratory, physical rehabilitation, a pain center, and geriatric psychiatry.

The 2019 theme is "Think equal, build smart, innovate for change."
When is International Women's Day?
How long until Women's Day (observed)?
|This holiday next takes place in 292 Days.
Dates of Women's Day
Who observes Women's Day?
|The UN has declared 8 March to be a day to celebrate, recognise and remember women
International Women's Day is celebrated on 8th March.
27 countries (mainly former Soviet republics) have adopted International Women's Day as a national holiday; and it is widely observed in several others.
In 2019, Berlin has become the first region within the European Union to mark Women's Day with a public holiday.
For most of the countries who observe this holiday, if it falls on a weekend, it will be moved to the following Monday. If it falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, several countries will bridge the holiday to the weekend by declaring an additional public holiday on the Monday or Friday - though often this is compensated for by making a Saturday a working day.
In China since 2014, women are entitled to a half day holiday for Women's Day. In Madagascar and Nepal, the day is also an official women-only holiday.
History of International Women's Day
In 1977, the United Nations declared 8 March as International Women's Day, a day each year when the world should celebrate, recognise and remember women and the accomplishments they have made to society. Each year has a theme:
This year's campaign theme is #BalanceforBetter, emphasizing the role played by the women for society and the important role we all play. Now it is time to do things to help make this world with better gender balance. From simple activities to worldwide action women are proving themselves. Now it is time to take this campaign seriously.
It is often said that the date chosen for International Women's Day marks a mass protest that took place in New York on 8 March 1857, when women from sewing and shoe factories demonstrated for the same rights as men. Men had recently won a 10 hour workday, but women had been overlooked in the legislation and left on a 16 hour workday. As as a result 8th March became a traditional day for regular demonstrations in the US and Europe.
However, recent reports have cast doubt on whether this event ever took place, with newspapers of the time not reporting any such march.
Given how the holiday began in Russia, a more plausible source for the date is 1917 when Russian women marched to protest for 'Bread and Peace' on the last Sunday in February (which was 8 March in the Gregorian calendar in use in the rest of Europe). This march contributed to the Czar abdicating four days later and the new government granting women the right to vote. It would be three years later, before women in the US had the same rights.
Women's Day in Russia
In Russia, Women's Day is a significant and popular holiday. Its source in the events of 1917 that were part of the Russian revolution meant it was a holiday that was promoted by the Soviet regime.
The day first became a national holiday in 1965.
It is traditional on this holiday to present women with gifts and flowers to express appreciation for their work, love and devotion. It can be regarded as the same as mixing up elements of Mother's Day combined with some aspects of Valentine's Day.
