I have a daughter in Mount Bachelor Academy in Oregon. I heard from her when she was able to sneak an unmonitored phone call out. She is kept up for days at a time for deprogramming sessions. She looks horrible. I made a suprise visit there and saw for myself zombie-like teens who were in terror of the staffers. She told me they were doped up by the staff. I was told to leave the property although I had traveled for 2 days to check on her. They use cultlike tactics here. These schools need to be shut down as I believe they are operating under false premises. I cannot sleep at night as I remember the sad, fearful looks of the kids as I drove away.I came away with sense that this is nothing more than a prison camp for kids. Even parents cannot talk freely to their kids. Her father put her here. I do not believe there will be a breakthrough in these places without media exposure. And this is America 2008.

Starting this blog I quickly developed a single rule: don't bother slagging off anything. Why bother? We can all agree that Coldplay are pants. Can't we? Do we really need to read why?
Listening to the radio recently I heard the following announcement – "Lars has texted us with a request. He wants to hear Pride In The Name Of Love. But not by U2… here's Michael Bolton". There, my friends, is a sentence with so many complex layers of crapness that I wouldn't know where to begin. To be fair to the boy Bolton he gave it a fair crack, but faced with such source material he was always on a hiding to nothing. But still, what made it bearable was the thought of legions of U2 fans up in arms at the Bolton mullet blaspheming the Hewson mullet. In much the same way that I was unable to suppress a cackle of glee when Rolf Harris attempted a wobbleboard-heavy cover of hitherto untouchable prog behemoth Stairway To Heaven. The greeks had a name for it: schadenfreude. Joy in the discomfort of others. Try it, it's hilarious. Until it happens to you.
And thus it is so that I now need to break my self-imposed golden rule of bloging. I'm being public-service minded you understand. I wouldn't want any of you to make the mistake of listening to the poisonous abomination I'm about to describe.
Some weeks after the audio experience described above, I was brewing the first coffee of the day when the same radio station announced, possible at the request of the same Lars who so much appreciated the creator of How Am I Supposed To Live Without You and Can I Touch You There, "Here's Dusty Springfield's classic Going Back".
A wave of anticipation broke over me. Here is a song that struck me as the standout track on the Phillips Nice Price cheapo compilation that first introduced me to Dusty in the early 80's. That stood by me during my mid 90's realisation that I was growing from "young" to "adult". That nudged me towards a rare aquaintance with the dancefloor during early noughties visits to The Actionettes swinging 60's shows in London. And that has since proved to be a mutual obsession with She I took for better or for worse via Dusty's outstanding Complete A And B Sides 63-70. I understand that many of you reading this will be sniffy at the idea of CD reissues when there remains vinyl still to be purchased, but I stand by this as one of my top10 favourite albums. Quite apart from the obvious enjoyment to be had listening to one of the world's greatest vocalists, there is also a fascination to be had in the order of the songs. Were you to be presented with Dusty's 21 singles from the decade with no prior knowledge of release dates, it would be difficult, nay impossible, to arrange them in a more satisfying sequence that the purely chronological. It offers a perfectly paced journey through the 60's, illustrating not only changes in arrangements and recording technology but also social mores. From the innocent girlish confession of I Only Want To Be With You to the empowered woman of How I Can I Be Sure, confidently belting her way through to the brave new world of the space age 70's.
And right in the centre, Going Back. Nostalgic for the past. Unapologetic for mistakes. Optimistic for the future. Just perfect.
Imagine then my revulsion as the DJ continued his introduction with the eight most feared words in the english language: "…in a new guise, courtesy of Phil Collins". Still I failed to spot the yawning chasm gaping in front of me. I've long since come to terms my fear of both Collins' anaemic interpretations of classic rock and of emulating his receding hairline. Fair play to the bloke. He's found an audience. He has on the face of it decent taste. He's overcome his unconventional attractiveness to find success. Who would begrudge him the opportunity to earn a few bob?
And then bit by bit over the course of a 276 second purgatory this 67 year old son of Chiswick procedes to piss all over my past, his crazed mephistophelean features illuminated by the hellish fires of Dante playing with a box of Swan Vestas. He lures you in by playing it straight. The intro, lilting like a childhood piano exercise is as you expect. "Relax" he whispers in the soothing tones learned at the Barbara Speake Stage School, "I understand how you feel. I'm going to treat the song with respect", before grinding your trust beneath his Zildjian hi-hat pedal. An unecessary synth fanfare here, a self-conciously smug pause between words there, like Frank Sinatra bowdlerising Blowin' In The Wind. "The answer. My. Friend. Is. Blowininthe… wind". Before his most heinous crime kicks in. The centrepiece of the song, where Dusty simply wails over a triumphal brass section, walzing drunkenly through a stratospheric soundscape, is delivered with the enthusiasm of a man for whom one too many nights on the diazepam will never be enough. Like you, I've heard plenty of songs I dislike, some that I've hated and a thankful few that make me feel wretched. This though is the first time that I've felt truly affronted. The balls of the man, to suppose that we're going to tolerate this meekly and with no word of protest. There are no insults strong enough and I can only invoke the succinct words of The Sex Pistols Steve Jones when he unleashed filth and fury on the people of post-war Britain – "What a fucking rotter".
- This then is why I will tolerate no Collins on my watch. The summer vacation chez Slender will be soundtracked as always by John Franz's note perfect arrangement of the Goffin/King philosophical masterpiece. For as Ph**, unlike Dusty, will never understand "a little bit of courage is all we lack. So catch me if you can; I'm Going Back".

Announcement: Guess who's back…
Quick thing here for you, which we mentioned on Twitter yesterday.
After taking a brief but necessary hiatus, The Ice is Life, the greatest thing to ever happen to your unexciting lives and the best sports blog that ever existed bar none, will be returning for the 2011-12 season. Believe it.
Once again, we must impress upon you that this change, and the original foreswearing of blogging, was not predicated upon the disgusting quality of Lowell's play last season. We fully expect it to continue this year, in fact. Y'know what, having looked at the schedule, put us down for predicting somewhere between six and eight wins. It's a long way back from Hell, after all.
We kid, we kid. We think.
Honestly, whenever we think about this upcoming year, we're excited; that's what having a panic attack, uncontrollably projectile vomiting and passing out means, right? So many questions that need answering. It should at the very least be a terribly fascinating year. New direction and all that. Plus, we've been promised no dump-and-chase, which was the bane of many a Lowell fan's existence last season. We'll just have to see that with our own eyes to believe it though. It's been so long since we've seen otherwise, that maybe they've changed the definition of "up-tempo, puck-possession game" to mean something else entirely. Oh hell, it might mean dump-and-chase.
Back to us for a second, though: we aren't sure, exactly, the capacity in which the blog will function for the coming season just yet. Will it be the same as it once was? Maybe (but probably not). Will it be be drastically different? It's possible (and likely). Will it be better than whatever dreary garbage you were forced read through a veil of bitter tears in our absence? Definitely (and assuredly).
You'll just have to read along and find out. As if you weren't going to anyway.
We missed you terribly. And it's not like we were gonna skip out on a chance to make fun of Alabama-Huntsville, Now With No Conference!
See you in September,
Your pals at TIIL
P.P.S. Go Lowell forever.

This is a one year, full time programme.
|Module Title
|Introduction to International Relations
|The Introduction to International Relations module will provide students with an in-depth introduction to the breadth of theories and approaches within international relations. Students will acquire the theoretical foundations of international relations, and will learn to distinguish academic debate in IR from the practice of relations between major players including states, international organisations, and NGOs. Through participation in discussions and debates in class, students will carry out a thorough examination of IR as an interdisciplinary approach, which will be used to analyse both historical event and current issues in the global political landscape.
|International Law
|The International Law module introduces students to the principles and study of public international law. It analyses the role and importance of International Law and its impact on international relations and international organisations. The course provides students with a solid knowledge of the sources of International Law, examining its application (and misapplication) in history and in contemporary politics. It highlights and critically analyses current debates and changes in International Law. Topics may include state jurisdiction and state responsibility, international legal personality, diplomatic immunity, the regulation of the use of force, international human rights and humanitarian law, international criminal law, environmental law, trade law, and the legal aspects and structures of international institutions including the United Nations and WTO. The course aims to develop students' analytical and critical thinking skills in the field of international law as it relates to international relations, and to sharpen problem-solving skills referring to relevant sections of the law and with the support of specific case studies.
|International Political Economy
|This module aims to introduce students to the leading issues and theories that underpin today's international political economy. Synthesising the interplay between trends at both the local and global levels, it provides students with the conceptual frameworks for exploring the modern world system as a complex evolving ecology of political, economic, cultural and technological processes. Combining in-class discussions, research and experiential learning, this module introduces students to a systemic understanding of the global environment. Students will learn to explore the interdependencies and intricate linkages between different political, social and economic processes and develop a deeper understanding of the dynamic forces shaping our current and future world. They will also learn and critically assess policy alternatives as perceived through the differing perspectives of decision makers and stakeholders involved in promoting socially inclusive and sustainable growth.
|Research Methods in International Relations
|Research Methods in International Relations offers students a range of epistemological approaches within the international relations discipline, and will explore a range of research methods in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Students will learn to apply philosophical foundations, and acquire the skills necessary to conduct original research within the discipline. Topics to be discussed include: research design, research methodology; qualitative and quantitative analysis, SPSS, and output. This module aims to familiarise students tools needed to research a variety of topics within the international relations landscape and from a wide range of academic and professional sources; they will also learn how to collect, interpret and analyse data, and will explore how to present findings.
|The dissertation requires of the student a research effort, sustained over the whole length of the MA programme and using primary and secondary sources,on a specific topic in international relations of particular interest to the student, the output of which is a dissertation of 15,000 words, featuring an element of originality within an appropriate theoretical framework and/or in the method of analysing evidence. The dissertation must address the relations between states and/or societies; the topic is required to address a major issue or issues which are of concern to the study of IR (states, systems, organisations, war and peace, diplomacy or any other concepts of importance and relevance. The dissertation ties together all learning outcomes of the MAIR as a whole. It provides students with an opportunity to conduct an individual research study, under supervised contact; students will develop specialisation, and synthesise knowledge acquired throughout the year.
Please note that only two of the following four modules will run in any given year, which will be at the discretion of the teaching staff. In 2019/20, we are running Foreign Policy & Negotiation and Human Rights.
|Module Title
|Foreign Policy & Negotiation
|The Foreign Policy and Negotiation module aims to familiarise students with a wide range instruments in foreign affairs and provide them with sound analytical skills in the field. The aim of this module is to analyse how states and non-state actors conduct their foreign relations and the role diplomatic negotiations play in the overall external relations of states. The module combines historical and theoretical approaches in exploring the evolution of the role of foreign policy in world affairs. This includes examining different foreign policy tools including diplomacy, military and force, economic incentives and negotiation strategies. It is the module's aim to analyse the success or failure of foreign policy tools. Furthermore, this module puts great emphasis on examining diplomacy and negotiations in comparison to other instruments of foreign policy such as war, crisis, and sanctions, and evaluates under what circumstances diplomacy is preferable over other tools of foreign policy. Students will explore and examine the principal debates in the field of diplomacy, and by the end of the module will acquire important negotiation skills and techniques. This will be achieved through meticulous preparations for an MUN conference and the introduction of Alternative Dispute Resolution (mediation) skills.
|International Security
|This module introduces students to theoretical, normative and policy issues in security studies. It begins by looking at international security from a traditional perspective, focusing on theories of peace and war and investigating domestic and international responses to conflict. It then moves to new security threats including the rise in terrorism and radicalisation, but also the proliferation of nuclear weapons, organised crime and trafficking. The module then moves on to non-traditional security threats such as human security, food security, environmental security, energy security, population movements and health. The course assesses the role of the media and modernity in risk perception and examines the strategies adopted regionally and internationally to manage trans-border security threats. Students will develop analytical and critical thinking skills in the field of international security and to sharpen problem-solving skills by engaging with live cases and through role-play.
|Human Rights
|The Human Rights module will focus on the historical and philosophical underpinning of human rights, in the context of international relations. It aims to introduce key concepts and theories in the field of human rights, as well as explore the history and development of the international human rights regime, including the study of international institutions and international non-government organisations. Students will become familiar with current political and ethical debates about human rights, and learn how such debates shape human protection. The module will encourage students to critically analyse the construction and application of human rights language in a wide variety of cases pertinent to the study of international relations.
|The State and Sovereignty
|This module allows students to analyse the evolution of the modern state system from its origins in the late medieval period to contemporary notions of sovereignty in an age of globalization. We look at theoretical interpretations of sovereignty and statehood developed by contemporary actors and later scholars. At the end of the course students have an understanding of the importance of the state in the study of IR in relation to other actors, which is both theoretically sophisticated and historically literate.

Social media can be a great tool to enhance the power of human connection, but only when you make it part of the way you socialize, not the only way you socialize. If you want to be remembered by the people in your life and truly make a positive impact, show up for them in ways beyond the screen not just behind it. Take the time to nourish the relationships of the people you care deeply about not just through a comment, thumbs up or heart emoji, but through real heartfelt expression that shows your appreciation and how much you care.
Here are the 4 steps to making an impact beyond the screen, not just behind it:
- Listen to your intuition. When you get a feeling to reach out in kindness and positivity- reach out, without getting caught up in analyzing why, or in what way. Just show up. Act immediately. In whatever way your intuition tells you to. There is a reason you get that prompting and when you act on it, you will see that reason come to life time and time again. We need each other in this game called life and it's up to us to act when we are called upon to show up for someone else.
- Think about your communication platform. Because social media and email is the primary way most people communicate, it has made face-to-face interaction, phone calls and handwritten heartfelt card sending stand out in a way that holds an abundance of impact. If you think about your birthday and the difference between someone sending you a comment on Facebook vs. showing up at your door to take you to lunch, which has a greater impact? Which do you remember more? The point is the more effort, time, and thought people put into reaching out to you, the more you remember them and attach your own emotional appreciation to them.
- Be intentional with your time and efforts. Many of us get caught up in the "I don't have time syndrome" or the "I really want to but (insert excuse)" or even over-analyze our intuition saying to ourselves, "It's not perfect, and I don't know how the recipient will react," or "Will they think I'm crazy, or mushy, etc." If we go into nourishing our relationships with heartfelt intention, the energy of that will be felt through whatever capacity we choose to communicate it. People just need to feel what you feel for them and as long as you put your heartfelt intention in the way you express how you feel, it will be felt. Feel it in your heart, express it, they will feel it in theirs.
- Find out what matters to them. Take the time to find what matters most to the person you are reaching out to. What are their interests? What do they love to do in their spare time? What are they passionate about? Often when we look deeper into what matters we find meaningful ways that we can connect. Speak to those things when you communicate. Reach out and tell someone how much you admire what they are doing in their life, celebrate them and the things that matter to them.
When you apply these four steps into how you communicate, you will begin to see the world around you shift. You will notice the way in which you can truly be a light in the lives of others and make a lasting impact on this world. Be who you are and listen to the gift of your intuition. People are placed on your path to teach you, help you grow, and be there for them. You are both the giver of love and the receiver of it. What you send out comes back to you tenfold. You never know what gift your heartfelt message will be to someone so have the courage to send it and allow it to bring the love in your heart to people in your life.
Happy sending!

CPSM Bootcamp Underway
With Domains 1-3 already under their belt, the Fall 2012 CPSM study group is in full swing. Kicking off in early October, the group plans to cover one of the six Domains of Practice each week.
I had the chance to sit down with the study group leader, Laura Ewan, CPSM of RTKL to get her thoughts on all things CPSM.
What made you decide to take the CPSM exam?
[Laura Ewan]: I took the CPSM exam because it was something I could do for myself to move my career forward.
What is the most valuable thing you've gained since becoming a CPSM?
[Laura Ewan]: The CPSM process gives you a real appreciation for the big picture behind what we do as marketers that you can't get focusing solely on your job within your company. Additionally, the CPSM network that you become a part of, through forums, additional programming, and even reputation has been invaluable to me.
What do you feel is most important for the study group participants to take away from the weekly sessions?
[Laura Ewan]: I want participants to leave each session with an understanding of how each Domain we discuss fits into the big picture. There is so much overlap between the Domains and I hope we help create a better understanding of the information by showing these connections.
Have ideas you'd like to share? Interested in learning more about the CPSM program or joining a study group? Give me a shout!

New Nissan Leaf
Feel more confident, excited, and connected
New Nissan LEAF with Nissan Intelligent Mobility is a whole new way to drive. You'll experience the thrill of 100% electric power, drive with more awareness of your surroundings, get an assist when you need it, and enjoy seamless connectivity to your world. It's tomorrow's technology in your driveway today.
It's unlike anything else. From the instant power you get at take off to the intense and amazingly quiet performance you get on the move - all that, and no petrol or tailpipe emissions. It makes your everyday drive extraordinary.
How about driving with just one pedal? It's so simple! With the Nissan e-Pedal, you can accelerate, decelerate and brake with a single, seamless movement. Just release the accelerator for automatic regenerative braking and depress for acceleration based on your current speed. It's great fun and gives you much better command uphill, downhill and on winding roads.
Every twist and turn is fun in the New Nissan LEAF. The floor-mounted battery pack creates a low centre of gravity that helps it corner with minimal body roll, giving you a great ride and super-smooth handling.
You will be amazed at the number of kilometres-per-charge you get out of your New Nissan LEAF. It's 40kWh capacity battery holds more energy, is more efficient and takes up no extra space.
The New Nissan LEAF's electric powertrain, including the battery, is covered for eight years or 160 000 km, whichever occurs first. Buy a New Nissan LEAF and we'll keep you driving well into the future.
Feel free to enjoy the pure thrill of being on the road. And with a little magic helping out behind the scene, drive with more finesse and precision.
get a hand when you need it
Nissan ProPILOT makes everything easier, from dealing with traffic jams to keeping your distance on the motorway. It steps in to do all the hard work so that you can just relax and enjoy your ride.
accelerates for you
steers for you
brakes for you
Your parking nightmares are over! No hands, no feet, no more neck twisting. With Nissan ProPILOT park, your New Nissan LEAF will park itself. And it's very good at it too.
no shifting
no steering
no pedals
To support you in traffic and on busy streets, Intelligent Emergency Braking continously monitors your speed and distance from the car in front. It will let you know if you need to slow down and will even apply the brakes to help avoid a collision, minimize an impact or if it detects a pedestrian about to cross.
Taking the tedium out of stop-and-go, Intelligent Cruise Control helps maintain an adjustable speed and set distance between you and the car ahead.
Stay on track. Intelligent Lane Intervention taps the brakes to help gently guide you back into lane if it detects that you're unintentionally strayed for too long.
High Beam Assist helps out with night vision without blinding your fellow drivers. It automatically turns on the high beam headlights when you need them, and switches to low beam when it detects a vehicle ahead.
See and Sense More Around You
Whether you're parking or out on the road, New Nissan LEAF offers a suite of features that keep an eye on your surroundings so you can make every move with greater awareness.
With four cameras giving you a virtual 360˚ bird's-eye view of your New Nissan LEAF, plus selectable split-screen close-ups of the front, rear and kerbside, tight manoeuvres are a synch. And if there are any moving objects close by, you'll get a warning on screen too.
Want to know what's coming up behind? Sensors around the rear of your New Nissan LEAF detect vehicles approaching from either side and give you a heads-up.
Change lanes with confidence. Blind Spot Warning keeps an eye on the blind spot area and warns you if it detects a vehicle hiding there.
No more guesswork! Stay within the speed limit thanks to your smart Traffic Sign Recognition system. It detects road signs and displays the speed limit on the New Nissan Leaf's digital info display as you go.
Drive Like a Pro
Whether it's stop-and-go traffic, your favorite on-ramp, or just an annoying speed bump, New Nissan LEAF uses technology that works a little magic behind the scenes to help make every drive feel more comfortable, confident, and enjoyable.
When you're on a steep hill, there's always that car behind that's too close for comfort. Thankfully, hill hold assist helps keep you from rolling backwards. It holds brake pressure indefinitely, giving you all the time you need to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
Hug the curves with handling that feels effortless. Intelligent Trace Control reads the situation and, if needed, can brake each wheel individually to help you steer smoothly through the corners.
Intelligent Ride Control can actually smooth out the bumps for you. As soon as you hit one, the system automatically applies the brakes and adjusts engine torque to reduce pitch and roll inside the cabin.
Your New Nissan LEAF is set to power not just your drive, but your home and community too. Thanks to NissanConnect telematics, we're making sure you're connected for a sustainable future. At Nissan, we're constantly developing electric mobility solutions to shape smart cities and create a better world.

This class will explore the basics of English Paper Piecing (EPP). This will involve basting fabric squares to existing paper shapes, then hand sewing them all together. We will be forming small (but not too small!) hexagons using the paper shapes. The result will be something suitable for a hot pad, or a mug rug, or the beginning of something much bigger. Find out more about English Paper Piecing here.
About the instructor:
Jan Carter has been sewing since she was a little girl, both by hand and on machine. She made a few quilts before she really knew what she was doing. But when she moved to the Gualala area and attended a PPQG meeting out of curiosity, she started down a path that never ends. Quilting now dominates Jan's life, and she's extremely happy about that. In her spare time, she fondles fabric.
Jan has a quilting blog at MissesStitches.blogspot.com.

This big, lumbering mess was a complete flop in 1984, but it's hard to blame then-unknown Helen Slater, charming in the lead but unable to do what Christopher Reeve did in the 1978 Superman. Faye Dunaway's notoriously campy villainess is fun but wearying; even at director Jeannot Szwarc's original 125-minute length (cut to 105 minutes for American release), this is only on par with the lazy Superman III. The film looks sharp on Blu-ray; extras include a DVD of the even clunkier 138-minute "international cut," vintage making-of featurette and Szwarc's commentary.
Ash vs. Evil Dead—Complete 3rd Season (Lionsgate/Starz)
The final season of this horror comedy series finds Ash once again doing battle with the evil dead, although this time it's personal: he discovers he has a teenage daughter, whose own life has been fatally marked by such blood-letting. As always, the tongue-in-cheek gore is either too much of a bad thing or not enough of a good thing, but the performances of Bruce Campbell and sparkplug newcomer Arielle Carver-O'Neill are a bonus. There's a stellar hi-def transfer; extras are director commentaries on all episodes.
Earth's Natural Wonders—Season 2: Life at the Extremes (PBS)
In this second season of documentary explorations of astonishing landscapes, these four engrossing one-hour episodes glimpse at how populations are able to survive in some of the most arduous conditions on the entire planet. From high in the mountains to deep into the rain forest, intrepid camera crews document how these people make the best of the inclement regions in which they've settled. The hi-def imagery is quite astounding to watch; extras are brief making-of featurettes at the end of each episode.
Gotham—Complete 4th Season (Warner Bros)
The Batman backstory continues as millionaire Bruce Wayne makes his slow march toward vigilantism while the police commissioner and mayor find it more difficult to control villains coming out of the woodwork, from the Riddler to the Penguin (played with unctuous glee by Robin Lord Taylor). Despite familiar storylines and characters, the series' 22 episodes provide fine entertainment for all Caped Crusader fanatics. The Blu-ray transfer is terrific; extras include The Best of DC TV's Comic-Con Panels San Diego 2017, Solomon Grundy: Born on a Monday, The Sirens Take Gotham and deleted scenes.
Hot August Night III—Neil Diamond (Capitol)
Forty years after his sold-out 1972 concert led to the classic live album Hot August Night, Neil Diamond returned to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles for another epic performance, this time interspersing songs he played that seminal evening with handfuls of later hits. Unfortunately, many of the newer songs are unmitigated pap ("You Don't Bring Me Flowers," "Forever in Blue Jeans," "America"), but his older catalog is so sturdy that the good outweighs the not so good: "Cherry Cherry," "Holly Holy," "I Am, I Said," Play Me" and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show." Diamond is in remarkably good voice and his band sounds great throughout. Hi-def video and audio are first-rate; lone extra is a 15-minute backstage featurette.
Sila and the Gatekeepers of the Arctic (Films2C)
This pinpoint study of what climate change is doing to the Arctic was directed by Corina Gamma, who introduces people in an Inuit village at the world's northernmost point to see how they live and cope with drastic changes to their very way of life. This illuminating documentary is, in its quiet way, as devastating as anything else you may see on this always sadly relevant subject. There's a splendid hi-def transfer; extras are bonus interviews.
The Walking Dead—Complete 8th Season (Lionsgate)
For the latest season of one of television's biggest shows, the plots of both The Walking Dead and its popular spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead, merge to present characters from both shows dealing with one another's destinies. Acted, written and shot with utmost professionalism, the series—despite its tendency toward repetition—continues to please its many fans. The hi-def transfer sparkles; extras comprise several audio commentaries and featurettes.
Village of the Damned (Warner Archive)
Made in 1960 at the height of Cold War hysteria, this creepily subtle horror film feels at times like an extended episode of Rod Serling's original Twilight Zone, definitely a compliment. After a mysterious episode blacks out the denizens of an entire town, several of the women become pregnant: their children quickly mature to become a race of, well, superkids, who threaten in their own quietly malevolent way to take over. Director Wolf Rilla displays an air of eerie menace throughout, and the B&W photography helps create a sense of foreboding—until the literally explosive ending. There's an excellent hi-def transfer; lone extra is an audio commentary.

"Forcella is stabbed into the deepest guts of Napoli", write collaborating photographers Jean-Marc Caimi (1966, France) and Valentina Piccinni (1982, Italy). The oldest and smallest neighbourhood of the city, Forcella is known as the stomping grounds for the most violent mafia gangs around, a place that still hasn't exhaled the last breath it took in the '80s, where poverty is queen and the Camorra is king.
Caimi and Piccinni began with the intention to 'humanise' this infamous neighbourhood by portraying its daily life. They rented a small flat in a passageway and set about exploring Forcella, developing their film daily in a darkroom that they set up in their toilet. With sharply contrasting black and white, the greys distressingly electric, the images evoke discomfort with their fearless proximity and graphic noise. It's daily life, turned up to 11.

LETTER: Thankful for Citrus Heights Police Department
May 28, 2020
Sentinel staff report–
Another Fourth of July has come and gone in Citrus Heights, but noticeably absent again was the once-popular fireworks show at Sunrise Mall that annually drew thousands to the city for more than a decade.
So what happened to the shows and will they ever be back?
Christi Woodards, general manager of the Sunrise Mall, told The Sentinel in an email on Wednesday that the mall retired its annual aerial fireworks display in 2012, due to safety and financial reasons. She said the show had been an annual attraction for the prior 14 years.
"It was becoming a safety and fire danger concern for us," said Woodards. "And it was no longer affordable to host the fireworks display, especially in the struggling economy at that time, which was challenging for all, retailers especially."
She also said the fireworks show "was a serious drain on city and police resources, which were already stretched thin due to the prison system restructuring and the early release of offenders into our communities at that time."
Asked whether the show would ever return, Woodards said, "We do not have plans to resurrect the fireworks display now or in the future, for these same reasons."
In a 2012 press release about the fireworks show being discontinued, Woodards was also quoted stating that future plans for the mall to develop pads along Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane would prohibit the fireworks from being hosted on-site. Although the mall is now under new ownership, plans to develop the pads have been hinted at by the new Spinoso Real Estate Group owners.

Metro Fire was asked for comment on this story, but Fire Captain and Public Information Officer Brian Gonsalves told The Sentinel on Tuesday he did not have information readily available regarding any public safety concerns fire officials had during past shows at Sunrise Mall. Noting the fire district's current overload around the July 4th holiday, he said additional information would not be able to be confirmed until next week.
Asked for comment on any police concerns about past shows, Citrus Heights Police Lt. David Gutierrez told The Sentinel the mall had contracted with CHPD for supplemental police services during prior fireworks shows and the mall had decided independently to discontinue the shows.
"There was a shooting one year and there were some incidents of crime, but to my knowledge it wasn't something that we made any recommendation [to discontinue the shows]," the lieutenant said. If the mall were to decide to put on fireworks shows in the future, he said police would not object — as long as certain measures for security and traffic safety were undertaken.
Also on The Sentinel: Two Citrus Heights companies listed among fastest-growing in region
While there are no plans to bring back the mall's aerial fireworks show, there are plans to bring back outdoor concerts with a new "pop-up" stadium at Sunrise Mall. Funding for the 2,500-seat stadium was secured last year through a $300,000 grant from the city, with initial plans to have it ready for concerts and events in 2018.
Related: Sunrise Mall to get new 2,500-seat stadium for outdoor concerts, events
The stadium is part of a multi-year $2.6 million marketing and operations effort launched by the Sunrise MarketPlace, a business improvement district made up of more than 400 businesses along the Greenback Lane and Sunrise Boulevard corridors. The pop-up stadium is now slated to be ready for hosting events and concerts in 2019, according to Kathilynn Carpenter, executive director of the MarketPlace.

Colin Kaepernick and the Nike Ad Backlash
Joshua Campos, Staff Writer
September 25, 2018
Colin Kaepernick, an American NFL football quarterback, has been receiving backlash after an incident that occurred during a football game. It all started during the 2016 NFL preseason, when Colin Kaepernick decided to take a knee during the national anthem to protest against police brutality towards African Americans and other ethnicities. Although at first, his protest went unnoticed, after 13 months, other NFL football teams joined this protest. His actions were only to protest against police brutality, but a lot people, even President Trump, have taken it as something more than that. People are saying that Colin does not respect the American flag nor does he respect the troops who have given their lives to this country. After all this backlash, Nike has decided to use Colin Kaepernik for an ad which shows a close up of his face with the quote, "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything" along with the hashtag "Just Do It." The same people who where mad at the protest during the NFL game with Colin Kaepernick, they are furious with Nike for using him for their ad. Even Trump has tweeted on this, "Just like the NFL, whose ratings have gone WAY DOWN, Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts. I wonder if they had any idea that it would be this way? As far as the NFL is concerned, I just find it hard to watch, and always will, until they stand for the FLAG!" People are even going as far as to burn their purchased Nike products and to boycott the Nike brand. Other people, including this writer, find this incredibly stupid as they are burning things they have already purchased. Which means that Nike is making money no matter what. Mathew Chapman, who goes by the twitter name of @fawfulfan, has also tweeted on this issue, "Here's an idea. If you think America's veterans deserve more respect, why not donate your clothes to a veterans' charity instead of cutting them up with scissors like a dumb, spiteful little brat? #NikeBoycott." All in all, I find this to be very childish, as people are purchasing these products and burning them to boycott Nike, even though Nike is gaining profits. If anything, Nike has won this so called boycott. Colin Kaepernick has done no wrong by taking a knee during the NFL preseason game, and, as he has said many times, he is trying to make a statement on police brutality that should be heard. People should look at the bigger picture. Even military people such as Katlin Bellaw who goes by the twitter name of @KatlinBellaw has tweeted, "Stop using the troops as an excuse to burn your Nike shit. I'm not your scapegoat. I'm gonna sit over here and continue to buy my Nike stuff, they give military a discount. #NikeBoycott." ...

The Feminine Touch
02:05:26, Stereo, 16:9
Tracy & Crissy practically set the camera on fire as they rolled around on the bed together for the best part of half an hour. The kissing was so deep and meaningful we thought they would swallow each other's tonsils at one point. Tracy told us that she had never felt so compatible with a first timer and after the shoot literally begged us to get them back together as soon as possible. Jessie is an experienced older woman, but even she said she has rarely had the pleasure of bedding a lover as sprightly as Alexis. They tumble and embrace and roll around together and lay entwined, Alexis doing all the naughty things you can imagine and some that you can't!

New loan signing Tommy Rowe says he's very happy to be joining the Iron and can't wait to get going.Rowe has joined United on an one-month loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers and he hopes, after a frustrating last eight months, that he can get back to his best.
"I'm very happy. It came about around a week ago and I was very keen," he told The Iron PlayerHD.
"I've not been playing football for over seven or eight months now. I had a bad season with injuries last year and hopefully I can start playing games and get back to my best."
The 27-year-old says he's been fit and raring to go for a while now, but has been prevented from first team action because of the competition for places at his parent club Wolves.
Despite featuring in Wanderers' under-21 games, he feels there's no substitute for competitive action.
"I've been fit and raring to go, it's just that the squad at Wolves have been very strong," he said.
"I was keen to play some games and after having such a lengthy time on the sidelines last season, that match sharpness that I needed to get back to my best has not been available.
"I've played some under-21's games, but when it comes to playing actual football, there's nothing better than playing an actual match."
Rowe feels he can bring a certain level of experience to the squad, having played a vast amount of games in League One previously in his career.
He stated that he hopes that the Iron can return to winning ways and get back to where they should be.
"I'm an experienced player, I'm 27 and I've played quite a lot of games at this level and I know what it takes to win games," he explained.
"I've looked at the squad, we've got a great squad, great manager, great staff and I'm just very keen to come and enjoy it.
"Hopefully we get some wins and get us back up the league, which is where this club deserves to be."
United take on Fleetwood Town on Saturday and it's a game which Rowe can't wait for, as he looks to make his debut.
"When I found out I was available to play on Saturday, I was so chuffed to get 90 minutes or hopefully just play again," he revealed.
"We've trained for the last two or three days and I've really enjoyed it as I've been here. So I'm really looking forward to it."
