The Facts On Rapid Systems For Aging Gracefully
Aging can bring many challenges, and along with those challenges, it can bring many questions about how to deal with the change. All it takes is some common sense advice that you can use in a practical way to make your life the best it can be. Take a look at the tips in this article and you will be on your way to facing these challenges.
Vitamin C is great for aging skin. It helps skin to keep its healthy glow by fighting against damaging sun rays, alcohol, smoke and other pollutants that harm the skin. It also have strong antioxidant properties which lowers the appearance of the skin's age spots and helps firm up the skin.
Consider volunteering with a church or community organization to keep yourself active and to expand your circle of friends and acquaintances. Many organizations rely heavily on volunteers and you can frequently find one supporting a cause or work you believe in. As an additional benefit, volunteering exposes you to others with similar interests, making it easier to find new friends or peers.
Love makes the world go 'round, and it keeps even an aging heart alive. Remind everyone you care about that you love them as often as possible, and you will get the same in return. Life is too short to hold a grudge against anyone, so let it go and move forward with peace and joy. Visit Sports Chiropractic for smart suggestions.
Eat with your friends and your family. You can make a day of it with your family, and it does not have to be a holiday to do it. Prepare the meal together. Make it a meal of everyone's favorite foods, and teach them the way that you have prepared these kinds of food throughout their lives.
A critical factor to prevent aging and increase lifespan is to not smoke. Smoking destroys the body and speeds up the aging process. Smoking is the easiest way to look older and shorten your lifespan at the same time. It causes disease, ages the skin, and is overall one of the main preventable killers known to man.
Exercise regularly. Exercise slows down the process of aging. It keeps muscle healthy and strong as well as allows you to maintain stamina. It also prevents the loss of balance and bone density as you get older. Try to keep impact to a minimum and create an aerobic and strength based routine.
As we have shown in this article, the death of a loved one can put a seemingly insurmountable strain on the elderly. You can make a difference in someone's life by assuring them that you are there for them in any and every circumstance, helping to guide them through this life-changing experience. The rewards will be great for both of you!

It would appear that after so many signal victories…
…and after so many times that the hand of Providence had been so prominently displayed on behalf of the Protestant Covenanters, that things would become easier for these committed Christians. But such was not the case. Serious disunion began to appear, even among the Covenanters themselves.
In 1648 when the life of the late King had been in danger, the Parliament of Scotland levied a new army in his defense. The expedition had been defeated by Cromwell at Preston, and the Churchmen who had protested against the enterprise immediately acquired a new influence in the national councils. This beginning of strife was now to assume more serious proportions.
When Cromwell heard that the young King was come to Scotland, he marched north and defeated the royal army at the battle of Dunbar. All parties in Scotland were agreed that there should be a new levy in the King's interest, but great difference of opinion soon showed itself as to the manner in which the troops should be embodied.
The party of the Court distrusted the Covenanters, whose counsels, they held, had caused the late defeat at Dunbar. These, on the other hand, desired that none should be admitted to fight for the King unless they had taken the Covenant. As the King himself had already done so, this condition would seem to have been an easy one. In fact, however, it proved the cause of a schism which cut deeply into the unity of the Church herself," some of the Covenanters going with the Court party under the name of "Resolutioners," and the rest, fewer perhaps in numbers, but full of zeal and determination, making a stout stand for what seemed to them the only safeguard of national and religious liberty. From the form which their opposition took they came to be known by the name of the "Protesters."
One of the chief leaders of the Protesting party was a minister who for ten years previous to this time had filled one of the most important charges in Berwickshire. This was Mr. James Guthrie, late of Lauder, and since 1649 one of the ministers of Stirling, then a city of some note, where the Court often came, and meetings of Parliament were sometimes held. He was of gentle birth, the son of Guthrie of that ilk in Forfarshire, and had been trained at St Andrews, where for a time he avowed himself of the Episcopal party. In a little while, however, he came under the powerful influence of Samuel Rutherford, who had been sent by the Assembly of 1638 to fill the pulpit at St Andrews, and counteract the Episcopal tendencies of the place. In this enterprise, Rutherford was very successful, not only by his preaching, which proved most attractive, but also by the private meetings he encouraged in the place, and which formed centres of influence acting upon many of the finer spirits in the University. One of these was James Guthrie, whose heart a great disappointment had just opened –he had paid his addresses to Spottiswoode's daughter and had been refused, –and who was therefore peculiarly apt at this time to seek the help of a master in the divine way of life.
Rutherford, we may believe, spoke much to him of the love of God, and thus found the key to his wounded heart. This was indeed the peculiar excellence of that great teacher, and one which appears very clearly in his famous letters, where he treats with melting power of the Nuptials of the Soul to Christ, of the heavenly delight which breathes in these moments of conscious union with the Beloved, and of the ease and sweetness with which even desertion and loneliness may be borne for the Saviour's sake. Thus, a noble champion was won for the cause of the Covenant in Scotland, –Rutherford, who attached great importance to the open confession of Christ, urging his pupil to sign that engagement, and inducing him to do so before he left St Andrews.
Guthrie is said to have had perhaps the greatest mixture of fervent zeal and sweet calmness visible in any man of his time, a disposition which must have been partly natural to him, but was doubtless much heightened by the use he made of Rutherford's instruction and appeals. This temper he carried to the work of the ministry in Lauder, where he was ordained in 1642. His gifts and breeding were publicly honored a few years afterwards, when he was chosen one of the three commissioners from the Assembly to King Charles I, then with the army at Newcastle. When Guthrie was translated to Stirling, the imposing and affecting scene witnessed at his last communion in Lauder bore witness to the worth of his services among the people of our shire.
In his ministry at Stirling, Guthrie not only displayed such courage and constancy among his flock that he was known there by the name of "sicker foot," but showed the same qualities on a wider stage, to which his new position gave him access. He preached against the Resolutions, and even employed his pen in the same cause; drawing up for his party the paper called "The Causes of the Lord's Wrath." The Committee of Estates called him to account for his bold words, but he declined to acknowledge their authority in a matter touching the liberty of the pulpit, and in company with his colleague Mr Bennet, who had concurred in his action, he was sent into a brief exile beyond Tay.
More serious perhaps, as indeed the event proved, was the collision which occurred between Guthrie and Middleton. This was a soldier of fortune, who stood well with the young King, and unfortunately gained great influence in the royal councils. Middleton succeeded in persuading His Majesty to escape from Perth on the pretext of a hunting expedition in the north, with the purpose of placing himself in the hands of the Highland chiefs, who were pledged to rise with their clans in the royal interest. This wild scheme soon miscarried, the King, after a brief absence, returning and placing himself in the hands of the Presbyterians. Middleton was attainted of treason, and was condemned by the ecclesiastical courts to be excommunicated. The Spiritual sentence was put in the hands of Guthrie, who with great and intrepid solemnity proclaimed it from his pulpit at Stirling.
In spite of the advantage derived from the leadership of such a man as Guthrie, the Protesters found themselves in a decided minority in the national councils. There the Resolutioners carried all before them, and matters being in this posture the misfortunes of the army in the field were not only in the interest of the Protesters, but proved a real advantage to the kingdom at large, by tending to compose these unhappy differences, which indeed grew less and less evident under the resolute government of the Protector.
The more favorable turn of affairs which took place in the Commonwealth soon showed itself in the quickening of religious life throughout the country. The state of religion had indeed begun to amend some time before this, but now, in the enforced peace which the strong hand of Cromwell knew how to secure so well, even greater advances were made. The preaching of the Word was frequent and earnest, especially at communion seasons. Great multitudes assembled on these occasions, and there was reason to think that never since the Reformation itself had so many souls been converted to Christ in Scotland.
We owe this testimony to the pen of one well qualified to judge, and whose favorable opinion may be supposed to relate to the shire at least as much as to any other part of the country. Mr. James Kirkton, the author of the "Secret and True History of the Church of Scotland," was settled in the parish of Merton for five years before the troubles which followed the Restoration, and his testimony is strengthened by that of Livingston, who gives us to understand that the flourishing state of religion was particularly evident in the Merse and Teviotdale.
Mr John Livingston made so great a figure in this part of the country that we may well take some account of his position and services. Like that of James Guthrie, his origin was noble, his great-grand father having been the son of the Lord Livingston of a former day. His early principles as an adherent of Presbytery stood in the way of his obtaining a charge as long as the Bishops were in power. He therefore took the situation of chaplain in the Earl of Wigton's house at Cumbernauld, and while here preached his famous sermon on the Communion Monday at Kirk of Shotts in the year 1630, when there were such evident signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit, and so glorious a revival of God's work in that part of the country. Eight years later he was settled in the church of Stranraer, and in 1648 he came to Ancrum upon a presentation by Lord Lothian, and the call of the people there. He became, as we should expect, a strong adherent of the Protesting party, leading that cause in the Synod of Merse and Tdaelveiot as Guthrie did in the north.
The Protesters were favored indeed by Cromwell, and thus enjoyed much power and influence during the times of the Commonwealth. This was not due to any want of courage on their part in declaring their sentiments of affection and loyalty towards the exiled king; for when Guthrie was summoned to preach before the Protector, he spoke as boldly in that presence as he had formerly done in the court at Perth, defending the King's right to reign with the greatest plainness and courage. Cromwell, however, had the magnanimity to remain tolerant in the face of these utterances. He even conceived a great favor for Guthrie, and for Livingston too, who also had the honor of preaching before him, seeing them to be thoroughly honest men, and resolving to give them and the party they represented his best countenance and help.
In 1654 Livingston was appointed one of the Protector's "triers," that is, one of those deemed fit to examine the claims of preachers before their admission to parishes. He had already acquired much influence in the surrounding district by the weight of his character and the brilliance of his gifts, and the new position he now enjoyed was one which enabled him to do much towards supplying all that country with like-minded ministers. Thus the times of the Commonwealth not only secured peace and religious prosperity but were a true preparation for the coming trials. The Protesters were simply Presbyterians in earnest, and the strong hold which that party gained contributed greatly to the success of the good cause in the Merse.

Radical Agenda S05E032 – Inevitable
A listener notified me of my name being brought up on Dave Smith's podcast, Part of the Problem. We've had Dave on the show before, and I've been on his. Dave is a libertarian of Jewish ancestry, and a stand up comic, but other than that, he's a pretty good guy. 🙂
They were talking about my being featured in Joe Biden's campaign announcement ad, which led to a broader discussion on the race baiting politics of the Left, and the state of what was the Alt Right. It's too bad Dave doesn't respond to my emails anymore, as their talk touched on a subject I've been contemplating myself, and I would have liked to discuss this subject with him. Instead, I'll talk a bit about it here.
Dave and his cohost remarked about the seeming insanity of bringing up a relatively obscure podcaster, such as your humble correspondant, as a presidential campaign issue. Why would the top Democratic presidential candidate be harping on Charlottesville so long after the fact? Especially given that Trump had literally nothing to do with the event. Even Bernie Sanders has the good sense to realize that the Democrat Party will lose if they have nothing to run on but Trump.
White Nationalism, they observed, is not exactly the most popular thing in politics today. So it would seem like the Left has just completely lost their minds by beating that drum non-stop, and perpetually expanding the definition of that term to include everyone who strays from their insane narratives, similarly to how they had done with the term "racist" a long time ago. Dave expressed the very legitimate concern that drawing attention to us was normalizing our cause, and might actually make it more popular. It would seem that if one wanted to stop Christopher Cantwell and the Radical Agenda from gaining traction, putting my face and the logo of my show all over TV in a presidential campaign ad, would be ill advised.
When one has a deeper understanding of the Left however, their antics are not so easily dismissed.
For your average American, White Nationalism is most certainly a non-issue. For all the media insanity about us being some kind of looming terrorism threat, and the handful of unhinged nutcases parroting our lines between fedposts to help aid that narrative, you're far more likely to be murdered by black gangs than you are White Nationalists, even if you're a Jew. Everybody knows it is Muslims committing the terrorist attacks, and no amount of nonsense published by the ADL is going to convince a sane American otherwise.
Moreover, life would certainly improve for pretty much everybody if White Nationalists were to obtain political power. We would stop the Leftist nonsense destroying this country, we would stop wasting military resources on Israeli foreign policy, we would stop the immigration crisis, and we wouldn't pull the rug out from people who rely on the government for help. For people who really do think "racism" is a huge problem in society, we'll be happy to arrange for a peaceful and amicable separation, so they can live under the boot of Jewish power separately from us, and never again will those people have to worry about having a White Nationalist for their president. It's really a pretty sweet deal for everybody.
Of course, that reality is why we have to be censored. If anybody found out what White Nationalists were really aiming for, most White Americans, and a surprising number of non-whites, would be White Nationalists. We have to be painted as some kind of bloodthirsty threat with no reason or truth on our side, otherwise we will win in very short order. That's also why more and more people who are not White Nationalists are being censored as well, such as Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, and others. Anybody who brings up the legitimate issues we are trying to address, will necessarily bring people closer to understanding our aims, and for our opponents to remain in control, this cannot be permitted.
Of course, the censorship won't work forever, and the people in power know this. So they have to ultimately resort to more drastic measures. This is why Joe Biden's campaign advertisement referred to the communist terrorists who attacked our permitted demonstration in Charlottesville as "A courageous group of Americans," and even went so far as to tacitly acknowledge that they were the aggressors, by saying "a violent clash ensued" without telling the oft repeated lie that we started the fight. Joe Biden wasn't just using Charlottesville as a campaign issue, he was literally calling for violence.
Tucker Carlson has made similar remarks to the apparent confusion expressed by Dave and his cohost. "Trump is easy to beat" he recently said to one guest, as he pondered why the Democrats would be throwing away an easy win with insane proposals like the green new deal, open borders, and non stop hatred for the White majority in the leadup to a popularity contest.
So what's the point of all this?
I have become convinced that the Democrats are just as certain of a violent clash between the extreme Right and the extreme Left, as are the propertarians.
The power of the extremes on either end of the spectrum drags the overton window toward the more powerful side, altering the dialogue in the almighty center, to favor their moderate counterparts. Understanding this has given the Left dominion over the country, even during Republican administrations, for as long as I've been alive. It is absolutely vital to them that White Nationalists be crushed before we can become a real issue, because even if one of us never holds an elected office, our impact on the discourse will deprive them of power.
Luckily for them, Republicans panic over appearances. For fear of the Leftist (Jewish) press, they attack their extremist elements as viciously as the enemy does. Democrats are more savvy, and condone even the most violent criminal behavior, so long as it acts in their favor.
Republicans can in some sense be forgiven for this, since the extreme Right has no more learned to cooperate with their moderate counterparts, as they have learned to cooperate with us. It is not as if violence could not be used to favor the Republican Party, as it has been used to benefit Democrats such as with Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Unfortunately, and I suspect we can thank subversives for this, the comparatively miniscule amounts of violence we have seen from the Right in the United States, has been senseless and uncontrolled, and thus of no help to the Party. The looming threat of a permanent Democrat majority in Washington is provoking the violent impulses of White men, but they lack competent leadership, and thus the power of those impulses goes unharnessed. Without direction, that energy inevitably finds some other outlet, and when those outlets are street brawls in Democrat controlled cities, or shootings at houses of worship, this is profoundly unhelpful to our moderate counterparts, who need to win popularity contests on a regular schedule.
One of these days, somebody on the Right is going to figure out the correct way to do this, and then things are really going to get interesting. When the violence favors the Republican Party, the Party will learn to tolerate it, and when White Nationalists have a fraction of the support from the GOP and Fox News, that Antifa has had from the Democrats and MSNBC, then we're going to become the problem that they pretend we are now, only worse. A world in which it is more dangerous to be a raving Left wing nut, than it is to wear a MAGA hat, is a world where Democrats cannot bully people into parroting their lies, and thus a world where Democrats cannot win elections.
All of the energy on the Left is being poured into stoking racial tensions and building radicalized echo chambers on mainstream and social media. If they lose the upcoming elections as a result of this madness, that is a worthwhile tradeoff if it militarizes their extremist element, and deprives White Nationalists of influence. If Trump gets a second term, but immigration and the leftward drift of our discourse continue to go on unabated, he will be the last Republican President anyway. On the other hand, if White Nationalists are able to assert themselves in public, then separatist movements will certainly emerge, and the productive White folks of this country will extricate themselves from the nightmare world the Democrats have in store for us. A mongrelized country of Democrats, without White people to tax, is going to collapse in a matter of days, and they cannot permit this to happen.
Thus, I have come to suspect the Democrats are more than willing to lose the next election. They are far more interested in starting, and winning, a civil war.
The goal of their antics is geared toward stoking violence, and keeping the Republicans wary of optics. Through this they can render the Right impotent until immigration ends our ability to assert ourselves politically, and at the same time prevent us from sufficiently organizing to meet the challenges of the civil war that will inevitably ensue, when the average White guy figures out that this was the plan all along.

Remembering Hazel and Lucas
My Story
September 13, 2017 I went in for a monthly OB appointment. I was 18 weeks pregnant. The doctor was having a hard time finding the babies heartbeat, so she sent me to have an ultrasound. My world came crumbling when I was told she had no heartbeat. I was induced that evening and delivered Hazel Sue Cardelli sleeping.
Thanksgiving day 2017 I found out I was pregnant again. My progesterone was low, so I was receiving 2 shots of progesterone 2 days a week. On January 31 I started bleeding. Brandon took me to the ER, where we expected the worst. To my surprise baby was active and fine. There was no sign of where the blood was coming from. I was told it was bleeding unrelated to pregnancy. On Feburary 22 I bled again, a lot. I had another ultrasound, and was diagnosed with a subchorrionic hemorrhage. From February 22 to March 18 I bled gushes of blood on and off. I had cramping and was very uncomfortable.
March 17 I couldn't get comfortable. I slept on the couch but couldn't fall asleep. I had so much cramping. I woke Brandon up at 4am and told him I needed to go to the hospital.
After a very long, confusing, and devastating morning I delivered Lucas John Cardelli. Although he had a heartbeat everytime they checked in the hospital, he was born sleeping.
I hope no one has to go through what I've been through. This shouldn't happen to anyone. Thank you Star Legacy for your continuing research on stillbirth. Please consider joining me in the Let's Not Be Still walk, or donating to the cause.

I Love You – Do You Love Me?
1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
Dear readers – did you pass notes as a child in school? I remember passing notes in elementary school? When a little girl sent a note – it might say – I like you – do you like me? We also asked crazy questions of our classmates. I was in Miss Bailey's classroom (I had a crush on her) at John H. Bayne Elementary School – we were out in a trailer (temporary classroom) – because the school was expanding so fast. I remember when they came into our classroom and asked who would go to the new class (our class was overloaded) – I said yes.
I remember going steady with a young lady in 6th grade. The couples – at least many of them – would parade around the playground holding hands during recess. I wouldn't do it – because recess for me was a time to play kickball or softball or some kind of ball. I remember getting a note from my steady telling me – if I really loved her (I never used those words) I would give up recess and walk with her. Needless to say – the relationship didn't last very long.
If you had an opportunity to ask someone a question – what would it be? Is there someone you'd like to ask – do you love me? Would you be willing to say – I love you – do you love me? Using that love word is not easy for some people – for others it comes easily.
When we ask questions – do we like to hear the other person's answer before we give our answer? When I sent a note to a young lady in school – I usually asked – do you like me? I would never say – I like you do you like me. I wouldn't put myself out there like that! If she wrote back she didn't like me and I had already said I liked her – I was doomed.
If you are married – did you say I love you first or did you wait to hear it from him/her? I said it first to my wife. How about you?
In today's passage we're reminded that Jesus loved us first. Jesus died on the cross to express His love for us – and then asks us – do we love Him?
Here's today's passage in partial context. 1 John 4:7–21 – 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
God so loved us that He died for us. Jesus showed us His love first. Jesus says to us – I love you – do you love me? We answer not only by showing our love for Jesus – but by showing our love to others as well. Because God is love – and if we are His children – we will show others love. Even loving those who do not love us back! Cause that is what Jesus did!
Just something for us to think about today as we go on our way.

For Ivete Lucas, film serves as a platform that allows her to communicate with people. "It is easier to understand," she states.
Lucas, who now spends most of her time on the road, is a Latina film director, producer, and editor. She was born in Brazil and moved to Mexico around age ten, "my mom is Brazilian and my dad is from Monterrey, Mexico."
Lucas is not only a talented filmmaker, but she is also a trilingual speaker, "I started my life only speaking Portuguese and then I learned Spanish when I moved to Mexico and I learned English too [in school]. I've always had to translate between cultures and languages."
Her background, her unique perspective towards languages, and her experience in the filmmaking industry earned her admission to the MFA Program in Film and Media Production at the University of Texas at Austin. She received her degree in Fall 2012.
Ivete, can you tell us a little bit about your filmmaking experience in Mexico?
I went to school in Monterrey and I started making films there. I got my first grant from the government when I was about 23. It was a $50,000 grant to make a 10-minute short.
[The film] was called ASMA. It was a film that I co-directed with my friends; we all directed a segment of it and I produced the whole thing. We were all excited about the medium and video and what we could do with that. The grant legitimized what we were doing and the film got shortlisted for the Mexican Academy Awards. It played all over Mexico in movie theaters before feature films. It was a really good experience and I knew I wanted to make more films.
What got you thinking about graduate school?
I had experience as a producer and some as a director, but through making [ASMA], I realized that I did not know much about the specific crew of the film. I concluded that I was going to be a stronger director if I studied filmmaking harder.
Can you tell me a little bit of how you ended up at UT in the MFA program?
I had not really thought about UT until I met my husband, Patrick. He was planning on moving to Austin and said, "Well, let's take a trip to Austin and you can see the university and see if you like the program because I've heard that it is really good." We visited and I met with Paul Stekler, Ellen, Spiro, and PJ Raval.
I really liked the fact that you learn all these different [skills], but you also get an academic degree. After meeting with everyone, I thought, 'if I apply and maybe if I get in it will be easy for me because Monterrey is so close to Austin.' I got in and I said to myself, 'Okay. That is where I am going.'
What was your experience in the program?
I definitively learned the different crew positions, and established close relationships with not only professors but also with students. I got a really good experience out of it.
Also, because UT is a big university with different programs, I had the opportunity to not only learn about film, but to continue to learn about art as well. Patrick and I do a lot of exhibitions, art shows, and we were already doing this before I started at UT so I thought it was really good. I got my minor in Studio Arts.
One of the benefits of going to UT—the intersection between departments. I really enjoyed that.
Can you talk a little about the projects that you made while you were at UT?
I had been making projects in and outside of UT at the same time. I can tell you that the work that I did for the required films was very Mexican-themed.
I started with a short called Mexican Fried Chicken. This short was about a Mexican 14-year old kid who was working at Popeye's Chicken. His family migrated here and brought him as a baby. His brother and sister were born here, but the film was about his life and how hard he had to work and what it is like.
Further, I've always been interested in making fiction work in real settings with real people. For this reason, my second short, La Lupita, was shot in the Mexican flea market in Austin with some actresses and real people.
The Curse and the Jubilee was my pre-thesis which I shot in Virginia. That is my non-Mexican film from the four films that I made in school.
Ex-Votos, which was shot in Mexico, was my thesis film.
Is there anything else that you would like to add?
While stressful, graduate schoolwork was really fun. For me, film provides me with the opportunity to interact with all kinds of people in different ways.
- Lucas worked non-stop while enrolled at UT. She made around eight shorts plus work for installations. She also worked on a project with her husband, Patrick Bresnan.
- Lucas had the opportunity to showcase one of her experimental cinema response pieces in the exhibition titled, Queer State(s).
- Lucas and Bresnan worked on One Big Misunderstanding, a feature film about a Vietnam re-enactor, while enrolled at UT. The feature was funded by the top grant from the Austin Film Society and the couple traveled to Pennsylvania every summer to continue working on film.
- The Lucas- Bresnan team also had an art installation at Domy Books when it was open in Austin. The show was called Libres y Lokas and it was about the intersection of drag queens and underground lucha libre in Mexico.
- Lucas worked with actors from Teatro Vivo when shooting La Lupita.
- Lucas traveled to Real de Catorce, a village in the Mexican State of San Luis Potosi, to shoot Ex-Votos.
- There were only two actors in Ex-Votos. Ivete also had the opportunity to work with the Huichol community when shooting the film. She describes this as a magical experience.
- Lucas has directed a number of award winning short films and documentaries, including The Send-Off, which premiered at Sundance '16 and won jury awards at SXSW and the San Francisco Film Festival.
- After The Send Off, Lucas and Bresnan have continued to work with the community in Pahokee, Fl. Their most recent production is titled, The Rabbit Hunt.
- Ivete and Patrick co-directed a brand new short film called, Roadside Attraction, that's premiering at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.

Rather than female, if you had asked me "if I was male" I would also have said yes.
"Are you a particular person?"
Yes, in the sense that I am an usher/usherette rather than a milkman or plumber.
"Are you well known?"
I suppose it could be debatable whether usher/usherette is a well known occupation or not; ushers are found in theatres, cinemas, churches and at some formal/ceremonial gatherings, usherettes mainly in cinemas.
"Do you have an English name?"
In "The Oxford Names Companion-The definitive guide to surnames, first names, and place names of the British Isles", Usher is found in surnames as being English, Scots and Irish: derived from the occupational name for a janitor or gate-keeper.
I try to answer questions as I truthfully as I see them and I may interpret the question other than what was intended by the poster.

The boutique hotel Odette en Ville, is probably the most charming and beautiful hotel you can find. The former townhouse is large yet very intimate and cosy. It is situated in a more quiet neighborhood close to less well-know attractions, such as the Chatelain market, the Bois de la Cambre, and Parc Tenbosch. Nearby, at the Place Brugmann you have the possibility of visiting chic boutiques and shops, cafes and restaurants.
The hotel has a restaurant that serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. The gourmet meals that are served here are delicious. When there's nice weather you also have the option to eat on the terrace. Though it is expensive, this luxurious hotel assures a great stay in Brussels.

One thought on "H!ndu girl's arab obsession"
Its true that in gulf almost all Hindu women get fucked by muslim men, but its rare that anyone will be picked up by arab men, unless she is very beautiful or depraved. Usually Hindu women go for arab men because of money, but after they get roughed up by them they rarely go back unless they like being used hard. On the other handits quite common to get fucked by pakistani or bangladeshi men.

Counter-intuitively, to be a worthwhile historical drama, a film can actually be significantly lacking in historical accuracy. Much like in gaming, one occasionally is reminded that we are talking about a "drama" not a "documentary." In order to be successful, it must have a good story, good execution, etc. A successful historical drama that happens to get the details wrong often serves as a springboard to get people interested in the "real story."
Coming of Netflix just in time for the holiday weekend is The Last Samurai (2003), staring Tom Cruise as an ancient Japanese warrior. No, that's not right is it? But I recall reading reviews at the time the movie came out that seemed to take offense at just that – why does it have to be an American, played by Cruise, that stars in a story of Japan?
It is a familiar structure in film an story to introduce the situation via an outside who, like the reader, must learn the "lay of the land" as the story progresses. That character may be the central one of the story, the person the audience identifies with, or it may just be a minor edition to whom the main characters are forced to explain the situation that everyone but the outside (and the reader/viewer) understands. Particular in Western writings about foreign cultures, this provides an excellent means to introduce new ways of life through a work of fiction.
In The Last Samurai, Tom Cruise plays an American army veteran who is hired by the Japanese Emperor Meiji to aid in modernizing the Japanese military. He quickly learns that Japan is in the midst of a revolt by one of the the emperor's advisor and prominent Samurai (the titular last one, presumably) who is resisting the rush towards modernization. After having the imperial forces rushed into battle, unprepared, Cruise is captured by said Samurai and, while captive, comes to appreciate the culture of his erstwhile enemy.
Historically, the film has a tenuous grasp on reality. Said "last Samurai" is based on the person of Saigō Takamori, who lead the Satsuma Rebellion in 1877 (probably half a year or so later then events described in the movie). Cruise's character is based, in part, on Frenchman Jules Brunet, who had similar experiences, but a decade earlier in the Boshun War which restored the Emperor to the throne. While bits and pieces of the story are drawn from history, then, the narrative takes place in what is pretty much a fantasy world. One can either see this as a butchering of history, or as an admirable way of removing the possibility of stepping on historical toes while telling a fictional story.
While the film was criticized for being America-centric, it also draws valid criticism from the other direction. Hints of capitalism replacing feudalism are held up in the movie as obvious targets of disdain. The U.S. military is shown to be interested in helping the Japanese Imperial Army because it would result in arms contracts going forward. The government official who seems to be in charge of the purse is also the owner of a new cross-country railroad and the revolution puts his investment at risk. Thus the "war" is really for his own, personal enrichment. Bringing in the modern themes of a paradise lost to technology represents a poke in the eye to history, and seemingly for the sole purpose of preaching, rather than just the telling of a good yarn. In reality, the revolts in Japan had far more to do with political power than cultural change. In particular, the attribution to the Samurai as the guardians of traditionalism (outside the fuedal power structure) is misplaced. In the Boshun War, it was the supporters of the emperor who were resisting the influence of the West. In the Satsuma Rebellion, the "Samurai" did not restrict themselves to traditional Japanese weapons as the movie portrayed, but used muskets and cannon as their budget afforded them.
At the end of it all, I can still enjoy most of the movie despite its faults. It works fairly well as a "period drama." The costumes and scenery are well done – and not just for the traditional Japanese attire. I also enjoyed the Imperial Japanese costumes and the portrayal of the technological revolution in Japan. I do wonder about the outfitting of the Japanese with Civil War surplus rifles; 1861 Springfields and 1853 Enfields. Are we to assume that the U.S. dumped a bunch of now-obsolete muzzle-loading rifled muskets onto the Japanese? Perhaps that is implied. When Cruise returns to Tokyo, the imperial soldiers are now armed with bolt-action Mausers – another odd choice for an American contract. Sources state the imperial army was actually armed with the British-made Snider-Enfield, which was a conversion of the 1853 Enfield to fire a cartridge. The 1853 muzzle-loading Enfield was one of the more common arms of the Samurai.
Oddly enough, a contemporary incarnation of Cruise used a Snider-Enfield at the beginning of the movie Far and Away, but that's neither here nor there.
Perhaps tellingly, the film was more popular in Japan than in the United States, with box office receipts in Japan actually exceeding the domestic take. In Japan, the film received generally positive reviews and was praised for its use of Japanese actors and the obvious research that went into the historical detail.

Court - Portlaoise man had cannabis for sale hidden in dishwasher
€1,500 of drug for sale or supply
A Portlaoise man who claimed he was being forced to sell drugs to clear a debt has been given community service in lieu of prison after gardaí found €1,500 of cannabis stashed at his home.
At last week's sitting of Portlaoise District Court, John Paul Delaney, 70 De Vesci Court, Portlaoise, was charged with drug possession, and possession for sale or supply.
Inspector Eamon Curley gave evidence that on August 19 this year, the gardaí conducted a drug search of the accused's house and found cannabis herb valued at €1,500 hidden in the dishwasher.
The accused was arrested and cooperated with the gardaí, said Insp Curley.
Delaney had 11 previous convictions, but none for drugs. His most recent was for a public order offence in June of this year.
Defence, Mr Philip Meagher said his client, a father of two, had no connection with the drugs trade until approximately eight or nine months ago, when he lost his brother under tragic circumstances.
He had never used drugs and never sold drugs, said defence, but after the loss of his brother he began drinking and got into difficulty with a loan which had built up with a local individual involved in the drug trade.
Mr Meagher went on to say that Delaney was told to sell drugs to clear the debt and initially refused, but then he received a severe beating some four weeks before the incident and threats were made involving his partner, so he foolishly gave in for his own safety and the safety of his family.
In relation to the drugs found at his home, Mr Meagher said the cannabis had been broken up for sale but Delaney had not actually sold any.
Judge Catherine Staines imposed 200 hours' community service in lieu of ten months in prison.
The judge warned the accused that if he came before the court again he would go to prison, and told him that if he was being threatened by someone he should go to the gardaí.

What Are the Most Successful Small Businesses?
Are you envisioning a flurry of thumbs up emojis from friends and family members when your startup business takes off? You should!
In 2015 the SBA reported 30.2 million small businesses in the United States. Additionally, roughly eighty percent of those businesses have no employees while twenty percent do. When you start a business, you join the ranks of other small business owners that love what they do and are passionate about making a difference in the workplace. You enjoy the freedom of being your own boss and learn how to survive in a competitive world among other goal-oriented entrepreneurs. In addition to measuring success by how much profit you make, you can also pass on a financial legacy to future generations within your family.
get things rolling, this article by Camino Financial about the most profitable
businesses reveals the types of businesses that thrive in the marketplace.
You'll get ideas on which businesses to consider so you can match your skills
to one of these money-making businesses. These industry leaders are profitable
from day one because they require a lower initial investment compared to
potential profits they generate. When you choose an industry that notoriously
makes higher profits than others, there's a greater chance you will too.
Start one of these successful businesses like these entrepreneurs did
In the following examples, entrepreneurs made an informed decision and choose one of these most profitable businesses to realize profits beyond their expectations.
Want a bright future? Start a cleaning business
Everyone always comments that Richard has a knack for cleaning. He decided it was time to get paid for what he already enjoys doing. It was time to open his own cleaning business, "Richard Cleans 4U".
By acquiring the necessary permits and licenses, Richard registered the name of his cleaning business with local and state authorities. He decides to complete work himself without hiring employees. At some point, he may add one or two employees as he takes on more clients. Richard invested about $600 in equipment and organic cleaning products. He budgeted $1,500 for liability and bond insurance and associated costs for a professional printer to make flyers and business cards. His techy relative created a website for him at no charge.
To accommodate a range of clients, he offers hourly, flat, and rates by the square foot. He bases pricing on transportation, replacing consumables, labour, equipment use, and other costs. Richard advertises his business locally, online, and through word of mouth. He offers a discount to new customers and a loyalty discount for clients who continue to use his cleaning services. By visiting local businesses in his hometown, he signed up two companies which provide a steady income. In the future, he plans to add chimney, roof, and gutter cleaning to his business model.
Roar with success with a pet care business
It doesn't matter to Margaret. She enjoys spending time with dogs, cats, gerbils, turtles, and other pets—except boa constrictors. Not only does she like animals, but they like her too. It was only natural that Margaret opened a pet care business.
First, she visited her local city hall to fill out paperwork to get a business license. Friends advised Margaret to get pet sitter insurance should a pet become injured while under her care. Most policies cost a few hundred dollars and provide legal protection if sued. She knows several dog groomers and vets who agreed to include her on their list of recommended pet sitters. Likewise, she met with owners of pet stores who will promote her business. Margaret placed a business advertisement in several newspapers and took out a two-week radio spot to get the word out about Margaret Loves Pets. Her flyers provide contact information and pricing so potential customers know her fees in advance. She created a contract and daily care sheet that all clients must fill out and sign before she provides pet sitting services. She also keeps physical and digital lists of emergency numbers, detailed pet information, addresses, and other pertinent data.
Margaret's pet-sitting business took off slowly but now she has a steady flow of regular clients. She intends to offer obedience training and pick-up-the-poop services to dog parks, boarding kennels, and doggie day care centres.
Don't sweat it: personal training can be your best bet
Since Diego was a youngster growing up in a Latino community, he's always wanted to help others improve their health. As soon as he realized he could make a profit doing what he loved, he was all in.
From the get-go, his plan was to offer diet and fitness training to individuals and help them set milestones to achieve long-term goals. Because he's a people person, he's comfortable coaching them so they see themselves healthy and fit. Since Diego is already a certified personal trainer, he won't need to pay up to $2,000 to take a certification course. He contacted an insurance company to take out a personal liability policy and a gym to rent space and equipment. Some trainers meet clients at their preferred location but working with clients at the gym saves transportation costs and simplifies scheduling. Rather than operate as a sole proprietor, he contacted a local attorney to create the necessary LLC documents so he's not personally liable should someone sue his business. Then, he opened a business account, bought accounting software, and made sure he had the necessary permits and licenses required by the state, city, or county.
trained a few people before launching his business and got instant referrals
from the gym. Within weeks, he had a solid base of clients that intend to train
with him for the long haul. The gym owner asked Diego if he wants to work with
patients recovering from surgery. By adding this service to his business model,
Diego will create an additional, dependable income stream.
You can run one of these successful businesses too
The business owners you just read about were motivated to start businesses they knew would make money. Maybe they aren't swimming in it, but they pay their bills on time, grow their businesses, and above all do what they love.
These profitable businesses don't require huge startup costs or budgets that eat away at profits. That means you can follow your passion, enjoy your new-found freedom as a business owner, and crank out a sustainable living. Some days for these small business owners are scarier than others when they realize they're in charge of their futures. Even so, entrepreneurs agree they take pride in being able to help other people and make a difference. Research supports what they believe. From 2000 to 2017 the SBA reported that small businesses created 8.4 million new jobs. You can make a difference too.

My dad thinks that if he involves himself more in my life I'll become the responsible nerd he wishes me to be. He wants to improve a lot of issues in my life: from the music I listen to to the boys I like and the way I dress and behave, you get me… He wants not a daughter but a perfect robot, programmed to be the best at everything and never give up or screw up. Sorry dad, that's possible only in the movies, real life tends to always find its ways, so different from those you imagined in the first place daddy….
What the hell I am talking about, you'll ask me? I'll tell you! Every time when I tell this story I laugh, the cat laughs, my inner self laughs harder, i shot my inner self… But enough with the whispering, here are the facts: my dad is very dissatisfied and disappointed by my results at school so he thought that some tutoring would fit perfectly. He was absolutely right about that, but we're not talking about tutoring anymore… we're talking about my hot teacher's cock. Yes, you heard well. I was in no condition for learning new things, I was impatient to show him what I knew already, ha, ha. Life always finds an easier way for the the complicated tasks, that's how we evolved, from convenience and the frustration in lack of convenience. I realized that now I really have a shot with one of the handsomest teachers in school, that my dad will be glad when he"ll "see some results" and the most important fact in all these: if I play my cards right I'll get an A+ and have sex with this hot guy. He pretended to be outraged at first, but I knew he was observing my busty chest during class, so I suggested a blowjob without any embarrassment, I've done it countless times in school's bathroom with boys my age and they told me I'm very good at it. So I put my little childish mouth to work, hard, trying to impress the teacher. He must have a lot of experience! I tickle his penis with my tongue while I massage it with one hand and I put it in my mouth making him feel really really good. He admits that even if I have bad grades I'm very skilled at this! After he fucks my juicy pussy (I was wet ever since I saw him entering the room) and makes me cum twice! Gosh, I felt like he was fucking my brains out with that huge cock! He promises an A+ and I promise to keep my mouth shut about what happened as long as he puts that monster of a cock in it… to keep it occupied :))) The funniest part was that my dad's paying him for this=)))

A Glendale man will serve eight years in federal prison and three years of supervised release after a fraud conviction. Artashes Darbinyan, 37, created a mass mail fraud that targeted persons seeking trademarks.
Darbinyan set up fictitious companies that offered trademark registration and monitoring services. He used recent trademark filings to identify potential victims. Darbinyan promised to monitor trademark usage and report possible infringements for a $385 fee. Instead, he and an accomplice merely cashed the victims' checks, and then deposited the money into their own accounts.
Darbinyan operated the scam from 2013 to 2015. In addition to a prison term, the judge ordered Darbinyan to repay nearly $1.6 million in restitution. Prosecutors had sought a 15 year sentence for mail fraud and money laundering. However, his attorney persuaded the court that Darbinyan's history of drug and alcohol abuse played a role in his behavior. The judge offered a sentence of about half of what prosecutors requested.

Re: Downtown Airpark May Close
Downtown airpark is quiet
By Julie Bisbee
The Oklahoman
Pot roast lunch specials and sweet tea still were being served at the Air Park Cafe on Wednesday, a day after the owners of the Downtown Airpark told employees not to come back to work.
The offices of the airpark's owner Dave Amis III remained locked, and staff at the cafe fielded questions about the future of the airpark, at 1701 S Western, adding more questions of their own.
Kay Lundy's mother opened the cafe adjacent to the runway in 1954 and has shared a building with Downtown Airpark's offices since then. She doesn't know what will happen to her restaurant and declined to comment on its future.
Hangars that once were brimming with airplanes and maintenance workers were shuttered and the runway southwest of Oklahoma City's downtown was quiet.
At Downtown Airpark's corporate jet offices at the Clarence E. Page Municipal Airport near Yukon, doors were locked and employees were gathering their belongings. They, too, were told the money had run out and they would no longer have jobs.
After layoffs in March, fewer than 50 people were working at both of Downtown Airpark's facilities. Amis, whose grandfather W.D. "Bill" Amis along with Dean A. McGee opened the airpark in 1947, said the hits the aviation industry took after the 9/11 terrorist attacks hurt his business.
"We tried to stick it out, and we made a gallant go of it," Amis said. "But this is just the normal cycle of business, some make it and others don't. It was pretty hard to let those guys go yesterday. I hope they all end up on their feet."
Meanwhile, airplane owners who store their planes at the airport on Western are looking for new space. Landings and takeoffs at the airport will continue, but pilots will have to fly to another airport to refuel.
Auxiliary business at the airport also will be searching for a new location. Dennis Kirkpatrick, the son of the founder of Kirkpatrick Electronics said the closing of maintenance operations at the Downtown Airpark leaves his avionics installation and repair business hanging in the balance.
"There's a lot of uncertainty," Kirkpatrick said. "We're not sure what we're going to do. We've been out here 35 years, this is a family business."
Over the years, Downtown Airpark has experienced financial woes and has been sued by vendors and aircraft leasing agencies for nonpayment of debts.
As of Tuesday, the company had not paid the $3,529 rent payment on its office at Clarence E. Page, which is owned the by the city of Oklahoma City. The company has been a tenant there since 1995 and has a lease on the office building and two hangars through 2010, said Luther Trent, director of the Oklahoma City Airport Authority.
Trent said his office has not received word that Downtown Airpark plans to leave the facilities at Clarence E. Page. Amis said he and his family have not decided what they will do next.
"This has been quite a 48 hours for my dad and me. This business has been in our family for 58 years," Amis said. "We're just sitting back taking a breather and not making a decision when we are emotional and stressed."
Property records at the Oklahoma County Assessor's office show that land is worth at least $1.4 million. The property adjoins the Oklahoma River and is near more than $52 million of new dams, trails, landscaping and parks meant to make the river a scenic waterway.
A master plan for the Oklahoma River says the airpark could be developed into housing. The airpark is about a mile from the new Dell sales and service center that is expected to employ up to 3,000 people.
City's downtown airport ends some operations Landings, takeoffs to continue, owner says
By Steve Lackmeyer and Julie Bisbee
The Oklahoman
Maintenance and refurbishment operations ceased Tuesday at the Oklahoma City Downtown Airpark, but the owner says landings and takeoffs will be allowed to continue until further notice.
The Oklahoman has learned the shutdown leaves up to 75 people unemployed.
Dave Amis III, airpark owner, confirmed the closing but did not disclose how many people were losing their jobs.
"It's an emotional deal; it's painful," Amis said.
The park, 1701 S Western Ave., was opened by W.D. "Bill" Amis with backing from oil exploration pioneer Dean A. McGee in 1947. Back in the heyday of the early 1980s oil boom, business at the park topped $20 million. As recently as the mid-1990s, the airpark employed more than 140 people. A former employee who asked not to be identified said the airpark employed about 75 people as of late 2004.
The airpark's operations included maintenance and refurbishment on several different types of airplanes, including the Aero Commander, King Air, and other piston and turbine powered aircraft, including helicopters.
The helicopter unit for the Oklahoma City Police Department is based at the airpark. The maintenance center also performed periodic checks on airplanes required by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Property records at the Oklahoma County Assessor's office indicate the land is worth at least $1.4 million.
Amis said Tuesday business has been much slower but declined to provide further details of the airpark's financial situation.
State airport inspection reports show that the airport reported 7,500 landings and takeoffs from March 2003 to March 2004. That number is up 500 from the previous year.
The airpark adjoins the Oklahoma River and is south of downtown. Over the past several years Oklahoma City and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have spent more than $52 million on three new dams, trails, landscaping and parks aimed at turning the river into a scenic waterway.
A master plan for the Oklahoma River indicates the airpark could be redeveloped eventually into housing. The airpark is within a mile of a new Dell sales and service center expected to employ up to 3,000.
Its proximity to downtown also makes it a convenient airport for pilots, said Lynn Pinson, airport inspector for the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission.
"It's a handy airport for people going to downtown or the Ford Center," Pinson said.
"You can grab a taxi and be there in minutes. It would have a significant impact if it were to go."
Amis said he has no immediate plans for redevelopment of the property.
"There are so many wide-eyed plans for what could go on out there," Amis said.

Re: Downtown Airpark May Close
Any pilot or passenger who has flown into or out of Downtown Airpark will attest to the "pucker factor" during takeoffs and landings, and it's not the downtown buildings. There are canals at either end, dense neighborhoods and vertical obstacles, so mistakes are very unforgiving. Even though fixed-wing operations are rumored to be ending soon (the I-40 realignment will move the highway too close to the approach end of RWY 16), the OCPD helicopters will still use it. But what will become of the site? Any guesses?

Bidding expected to help airpark pay debts
By Julie Bisbee and Steve Lackmeyer
Business Writers Sat January 7, 2006
Speculators interested in turning the acreage of a defunct airpark into a riverfront development got a nod Friday from a state judge overseeing the foreclosure case of the Downtown Airpark.
Judge Daniel Owens approved a motion that allows prospective buyers to make bids on the 80.6 acres of land just west of downtown Oklahoma City to help pay off the debts of Downtown Airpark Inc.
The corporation owes more than $5 million to creditors, with its largest creditor being the Archer Trust, a California-based trust.
Downtown Airpark Inc. was owned by contractor David Amis III and river front development consultant Pat Downes when it ran into financial difficulties.
Records show Archer Trust registered to a California address bought by Titanic producer James Cameron in June 2004.
An attorney for the Archer Trust refused to comment on the pending litigation.
Court filings show that the Downtown Airpark failed to pay four mortgages including a $650,000 loan from Suzy Amis Cameron, Amis' sister and Cameron's wife.
According to the Oklahoma Department of Labor, Downtown Airpark also owes $193,287.12 to employees who lost their jobs when the airpark closed in May.
In June, the court appointed David Rhoades as the receiver in the case. Since then, the airpark's assets and inventory have been sold.
Rhoades said he expects the sale of the land, a prime location for continued downtown development, to be lucrative.
"There is a lot of interest," he said. "I think we will get enough to pay off the taxes and the mortgage."
Court records show Rhoades has fielded at least a dozen inquiries on the airpark -- most of them involving plans to convert it into housing. Past inquires also have included a member of the Seminole Nation who expressed an interest in turning the airport into a casino.
Those confirming they are still interested in the property include former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys and his sons, Grant and Blair, and Howard Pollack, who promotes shows at the Zoo Amphitheater and Farmer's Market.
Neither Humphreys or Pollack would say what they might do with the property -- though court documents show Pollack proposed building an entertainment complex.
Other inquiries include a pitch by Tom Parrish to develop the area into "Hispanic housing."
Records show Rhoades also was contacted by developer Richard Tanenbaum, whose downtown area residential projects include The Montgomery, The Classen and the Park Harvey Apartments, and Bert Belanger, who along with Anthony McDermid and Pat Garrett are developing the Triangle town center project.
McDermid confirmed Belanger contacted Rhoades, but they are not bidding for the airpark. Tanenbaum said he lost interest after concluding the property's financial affairs were "all messed up."
David Bohanon with Blackstone Commercial Reality, and former publisher and development consultant James Durocher confirmed they too contacted Rhoades about buying the airpark, but are not placing bids at this time.
More sales inquiries listed by Rhoades included a person identified as Jenov Igochan, broker Gerald Gamble and Norman contractor Gail Armstrong. The three could not be reached for comment Friday. The airpark, which included hangar space and an aircraft maintenance facility, shut down May 31. Airplanes stored at the hangar had to be removed by Aug. 31. The airpark was started in 1947 by W.D. "Bill" Amis and Dean A. McGee. The landing strip was ideal for pilots wanting to be close to the downtown area. Members of the Amis family say a loss of business after the 2001 terrorist attacks hit them hard, but court records show financial difficulties began earlier. Jim Hasenbeck, a partner with Studio Architecture who did the master plan for the Oklahoma River, has said the airpark site is a prime development spot because of its view of the downtown skyline and proximity to the new Interstate 40 Crosstown Expressway.

Re: Downtown Airpark May Close
Hmmm...sounds like a good idea for the airport. We have plenty of regional airports. I'd love to see this airpark turned into a nice development close to the Oklahoma River. How about a museum honoring the great aviation folks from the past? Will Rogers? Wiley Post? Clarence E. Page? Once central aviation museum. Can include history about Tinker and its relationship to OKC, history of aviation in Oklahoma, etc. Aviation Hall of Fame? Any takers?
Or we could always sell it to Harrah's and start our strip of casinos on the river.

Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
Mixed-use project planned for former airpark
By Steve Lackmeyer
The Oklahoman
Developers' $7.2 million bid accepted
A casino is out and mixed-use development is in for the former Downtown Airpark after a winning $7.2 million bid Thursday by developer Grant Humphreys.
Humphreys, whose partners include his brother Blair and father, former Mayor Kirk Humphreys, said Thursday they are buying the airpark because of its proximity to downtown, the Oklahoma River and the realigned Interstate 40 Crosstown Expressway, and they will block any attempts to turn it into a casino.
"In the next four years, as the I-40 realignment becomes a reality, this property will become a critical component of the river's redevelopment," Grant Humphreys said. "We're big believers in downtown's continued growth and success."
Receiver David Rhoades, appearing in Oklahoma County District Court on Thursday, recommended the bid over others that included parties interested in developing the 81-acre property into a tribal casino. Rhoades said the Humphreys bid was chosen because it met "all the rules" and not because of development plans.
"The deal was to accept the highest and best," Rhoades said. "There were certain rules that the judge set forth in the order. Some of the people didn't comply with the judge's rules -- they either didn't put cash up front or didn't have a contract that was acceptable."
Rhoades said a closing will occur within 30 to 45 days -- and added he has no concerns the deal won't be completed. The Humphreyses and partner Robbie Aduddell, whose family owns Aduddell Roofing, submitted a $100,000 check and signed a contract as part of their winning bid.
"They're solid," Rhoades said.
The Downtown Airpark closed in May and went into foreclosure owing "in excess of $7 million" to creditors, including actress Suzy Amis and a trust connected to James Cameron, Amis' husband and producer of the movie "Titanic."
Downtown Airpark Inc. was owned by contractor David Amis III and riverfront development consultant Pat Downes when it ran into financial difficulties.
The property is along the west side of Western Avenue and the south shore of the Oklahoma River. After the realignment of I-40, Western will be the only "full diamond" intersection in downtown, meaning east- and west-bound can both enter and exit the interstate at Western Avenue. Highway mitigation plans include creation of a large green space on the north side of the river adjacent to the airpark.
"We became interested in the property because of its great views of the downtown skyline and prime riverfront location," Aduddell said. "It's by far the biggest single development site in close proximity to downtown."
Grant Humphreys said they envision a mixed-use master-planned development that could include offices, housing, hotels and retail. He said a master planner will be hired within the next year.
Blair and Grant Humphreys promised a casino won't be a part of the development.
"We believe that a corporate anchored mixed-use development will be the highest and best use for the property," Blair Humphreys said. "This will build on the success of MAPS and be another boost to the momentum of downtown Oklahoma City."
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
This fantastic news.
It seems there is new development for downtown and the surrounding area every week now.
I wonder when out of state developers will jump in?
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
Here's an aerial of the property (I think the acquisition includes the undeveloped parcels to the east)...
Anything built there will have great views of downtown:

Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
That's a great spot for this.
I am beginning to wonder though what the limit is for so-called "mixed use" development. It seems this could just dilute these efforts in downtown. I'm not knocking it, but I would like to see somone propose something that hasn't been proposed before. That would be a great location for a boardwalk type development.
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
Grant Humphreys said they envision a mixed-use master-planned development that could include offices, housing, hotels and retail. He said a master planner will be hired within the next year.
Sounds excellent to me. Could be a great place for a major hotel. And there's nothing saying this can't include a boardwalk type retail development. I'm pleased with Humphreys Block 42 and i'm very optimistic about this.Don't Edmond My Downtown
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
Engaging park space, one or two residential towers, and some supportive residential retail would be nice there. I agree with BDP that office space would be tricky competing with downtown. Would it be considered CBD? Or South? I like that the Humphreys are leading it.Continue the Renaissance

Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
This is what Portland is building on the river that runs through their city...
I remember seeing the concept sketches they came up with a few years ago, almost seemed out of reach, but it's actually happenening now.
Also, read their plan for the entire waterfront. It shows the masterplan for the separate areas. Kind of puts OKC's and Tulsa's masterplans to shame.
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
That's a nice plan for Portland. I still like ours done by Studio Architecture. I still look forward to seeing this project come to life. If this project is conceived with the same sensibilities as Block 42, I think we're in for a treat.
I hope the authority remembers that the river is a natural resource first and a development opportunity second; and that Humphreys et al will follow the standard set by the Cheseapeake Boathouse.Continue the Renaissance

Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
Now that's impressive.
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
I think it's interesting that it says CO-OP ICONS. Are those really considered icons, or something worth saving?
About the airpark though, this could be the first major implementation of the River Plan shown above. Good examples of successful urban airpark conversions include the Stapleton development in Denver and the Mueller development in Austin.
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
Local group offers winning bid for old Downtown Airpark
by Brandice J. Armstrong
The Journal Record
OKLAHOMA CITY - Aduddell-Gibraltar Partners LLC offered the winning bid of $7.2 million for the former Downtown Airpark at the Oklahoma County District Court on Thursday. The closing is expected to happen within 30 days.
Managed by Grant Humphreys, the group is composed of the principals of Aduddell Cos. and Gibraltar Investments.
The 81-acre riverfront property just south of the Oklahoma River and west of Western Avenue will be held for three to five years while Interstate 40 is realigned and owners decide on a master plan, Grant Humphreys said.
"We believe that a corporate anchored mixed-use development will be the highest and best use for the property," partner Blair Humphreys said.
Robbie Aduddell, partner in the purchasing group, agreed.
"With over 80 acres, a quarter of a mile of river frontage and great access to the new interstate, this is the best location for the next Dell," he said. "Our city is definitely on the map for growth and economic development."
The group is also considering a restaurant row and hotel, Grant Humphreys said.
Once the realignment is complete, Western Avenue will have the only "full diamond" intersection in downtown Oklahoma City, which means both east- and west-bound traffic can enter and exit the interstate at Western Avenue.
Downtown Airpark Inc., which was composed of W.D. Amis Jr., W.D. Amis III and Pat Downes, who had a small interest, owned the property prior to Aduddell-Gibraltar Partners. In May, the airpark closed and Downtown Airpark Inc. faced financial challenges, owing more than $7 million to creditors.
Downes, who is also the director of development for the Oklahoma City Riverfront Redevelopment Authority, had only positive things to say about the acquisition.
"(They are) solid, civic-minded and visionary in their approach," he said. "I think for such a parcel to be owned by a local interest is such a real benefit. They understand the importance of protecting and building on that public investment. It creates jobs, stimulates the economy and revitalizes a largely ignored and, in some sectors, a blighted part of town."
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new developmentOriginally Posted by BG918
I think it will be interesting to see the development between the current downtown/bricktown and the new 40 and along the 'boulevard'.
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
I had previously proposed that the co-op area be razed and made ready for a stadium or higher and better use, but many on this site seemed to want to save it through adaptive reuse.
I've always thought it was an eyesore and that it leaves a bad impression of OKC and was surprised that so many felt differently.
However, I can certainly understand the hesitation to tear anything down after the massive mistakes the city made in the 60's and 70's.

Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
That looks like a great master plan. I just hope that at least some of it get implemented, and it all doesn't get hokey-ed up.
Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
I will be anxious to see a master plan for the downtown boulevard that will replace I-40. This is a tremendous opportunity for the city to create a high traffic artery through downtown that is also very urban in scale with lanes on each side dedicated to on-street parking, extensive landscaping, wide sidewalks, and numerous retail businesses. It already will have the theater along it and the Ford Center as well, there could be a lot of infill in between those two and beyond towards the derelict lower end of the Arts District.

Re: Downtown Airpark - sold for new development
You can see the master plan. I'm not sure if anyone has posted it on this site but I believe you can find it on COTPA's or DOT's website.
