Maverick Winter Camp
This past weekend the elite group of athletes that together make up the Maverick Multisport all came into Louisville, where the team is based out of, to meet some of the sponsors, gather up some of our equipment, and officially meet each other. Unfortunately, one of the females on the team, Amber Ferreira, got stranded in New Hampshire due to weather and will make the trip later this month. The rest of the team made it to Louisville at some point on either Thursday or Friday. I was able to host Clay Emge and his fiance, Kimberly, for the weekend. The rest of the team stayed outside of town at the team manager, Chris Hutchens, house.
The weekend ran a tight schedule. We had a lot to do and not a whole lot of time to do it. But, we figured out how to cram all this into one weekend with a little bit of planning and multitasking (both of which are key to being a busy athlete with a real job). Morning started with a group swim with one of our partners, The Lakeside Seahawks. They let us swim with them whenever we are in town and able to make practice. We had to leave early to make it to the team shop, VO2 Multisport to start getting fit on new Argon E-118 bikes. Peter Reid, one of the fit guru's at VO2 sacrificed his whole morning and afternoon to get us set up on our bikes. He got everyone dialed in on their new rides equipped with SRAM components, Rotor Cranks with Q-rings, Cobb Saddles, and Enve wheels. These bikes are going to be blazing fast this year!
While all that was going on, companies like Primal Sports Mud, Infinit Nutrition, and TYR all talked to us about how to best use their product. Infinit is revamping their website and wanted to get some videos of us answering some basic questions about our start in the sport, our diets, race day nutrition, etc.
Q'doba, another one of our partners, donated some food to us for lunch. We had several hungry people there, and they even supplied enough for athletes' significant others to drop by and grab some lunch too.
A gathering like this wouldn't be complete without a little bit of a photo shoot. Matt and Pat Photography took photos of us in our new kits printed by Champion System. We also models other clothing, such as Swiftwick socks, 110% Play Hard compression, Smith Optics, and our TYR wetsuits and swim skins. After that was over we made the trek out to the country to find a horse farm to get some outdoor photos taken for the website. After all, you can't visit Kentucky and not see a horse. It was cold outside, but the team managed to strip down to our race kits and pose with our bikes all built up with some horses in the background.
We had about an hour of down time before we went to our team's Chiropractor, massage, and sport rehab facility called Occupational Kinetics. They had a meet-and-greet with some snacks for anyone that wanted to show up. I am excited to get into their facility again this year and work with Dr. Bee, Mike Rowles, and Erin this year to keep me injury free and on top of my game.
And if Mexican for lunch wasn't enough, we went to a local Mexican joint in Crestwood for dinner. Who doesn't like Mexican food??
I know I had a great time meeting my teammates Molly Rhoohi, Clay Emge, and Matt Hanson. Amber will be coming in town in a couple weeks to get her bike, and I'll have a chance to meet her then too.
Maverick Multisport is going to have a great 2014, thanks to all our sponsors! We are all blessed to have you on board.

In December 1854 a liquor licence was issued for a hotel in High Street Northcote, to be named the Shannon Hotel. For the next forty years it operated under a variety of publicans, with Denis Hayes being the most prominent.
Times were tough for the hotel in the late 1850s with both Denis Hayes and Henry Drowley becoming insolvent whilst running the hotel.
By the 1890s the hotel was in a poor state of repair and the Northcote Council condemned the building, forcing its demolition. The hotel was reborn in 1894 as the Commercial Hotel. The exterior of the building remains much as it was in 1894.
In 1923 the hotel came to the notice of the local magistrates when publican Ellen Jones was charged with "...having persons on the premises during prohibited hours." Constable Dunn reported that he saw ten men leaving the rear of the hotel after hours. Shortly afterwards another twenty five men were seen leaving. Dunn entered the hotel and saw empty beer glasses and Jones and her daughters clearing up. There were no men in the hotel when the police entered and Jones denied serving alcohol after hours. The magistrate dismissed the case.
In 2005 the hotel changed its name to the Northcote Social Club.

Health Care
McConnell Resurrecting the Otherwise Dead Repeal and Replace Issue?
The fight over the Affordable Care Act might see one more chapter until it will be forever put to rest on September 30.
The Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell and those colleagues on his leadership team, are once again seriously considering a desperate last effort to repeal Obamacare. The bill McConnell is considering bringing to a vote would limit the role of the federal government in the health care system by substituting its involvement with block grants to states.
The final decision on whether to hold a vote has not yet happened, but McConell told his caucus that if he can get 50 of the 52 Republican senators to support the bill, written by Senators Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy, he will bring it to the Senate for a vote.
At the moment, the bill does not have the minimum of 50 supporters among the 52 Republican senators. The bill, if passed, would replace the tax subsidies that are the basis of the ACA with block grants; curtail the individual insurance mandate, and reduce the Medicaid expansion. Nevertheless, McConell and his team will take the pulse of the senate this week during private meetings arranged with President Trump's assistance.
"McConnell and his team are engaged and serious about the vote and working with the conference to build support for Graham-Cassidy," a source said Sunday. The "White House is also operating with all hands on deck."
Rubio Cautions Lawmakers to Move on Health Care Law Mindfully
The ball of healthcare reform is now in the Republican court, but how to hit it back is breeding contention among Republican lawmakers.
Senator Ron Johnson, Republican from Wisconsin, complained about the long and drawn out process of getting a health care proposal moved through the senate, which elicited a response from Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, cautioning that health care legislation must not be done "behind closed doors" nor rushed to the floor for a vote.
"The Senate is not a place where you can just cook up something behind closed doors and rush it for a vote on the floor," Rubio contended on "Face the Nation."
Johnson is losing patience with the process, as he said, "I want to know exactly what's in the Senate bill. It's not a good process."
Rubio emphasized that he has no problem with meetings that are taking place about new health-care regulations, but he is cautioning that the final version "cannot be rushed to the floor. Ultimately we're all going to see what's in it."
Jeff Feig: A Businessman's Story of Thanks
Jeff Feig is allegedly a man with a lot to be thankful for. After graduating from the University of Western Ontario's Honors Business Administration program, Feig joined the Toronto branch of Citibank. In 1994 he started to manage teams of spot and currency traders, and in 2001 he went to London to lead the central bank's European Foreign Exchange trading division. By 2004 Jeff Feig became Citigroup's Global Head of Foreign Exchange, and went back to New York City.
Ten years later Feig moved to Fortress Investment Group. There he became the Co-CIO of the firm's Macro Fund and a co-president of their Liquid Markets division.
What Feig, the former financial executive, is truly thankful for, however, is how his life was saved by lay people after he suffered a massive heart attack.
In August, 2016, while vacationing in a bungalow colony in upstate New York, Feig experience a massive cardiac arrest. Onlookers who were also staying at the bungalow colony quickly leapt into action when they saw their friend collapse. Luckily for Feig, they had been trained at the colony in CPR and how to use an external defibrillator, or A.E.D.
In Feig's case, 4 quick-thinking lay people all played a crucial role in saving his life. One person called an ambulance; a second delivered chest compression; mouth-to-mouth ventilation was begun by a third; and the fourth person ran to the social hall and grabbed the AED. The defibrillator was then used to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm, saving Feig's life.
Even more impressive, Feig suffered no permanent heart damage or brain damage. It took the ambulance ten minutes before it arrived at the scene. The brain cannot tolerate lack of oxygen for more than four minutes, after which death soon follows. Jeff's statement below shows that he is now a firm believer in CPR and the efficacy of AEDs.
"I feel like I've been given a second chance at life and I'm not going to waste it," Feig said. "My goal is to spread the word to increase the level of CPR training in the population and get every institution to have a defibrillator on hand and people trained to use it."
Just two weeks before Feig's heart attack, investigations show that the colony had taken a training and refresher course in CPR and the use of the AED. You can be sure that Jeff Feig, as well as his family, friends, and even clients, are thankful that they took such an interest in this important topic!

Chapter Spotlight: Chicago Tops 1,000 Members
August 9, 2002
See also:
CHICAGO (AFP eWire - August 9, 2002) - For the first time in the history of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), a chapter has surpassed 1,000 members. The AFP Chicago Chapter achieved this milestone last month.
The 1,000th member, Alfred Andreychuk, development director, 98.7 WFMT, Network Chicago, Chicago, Ill., was excited to learn that his serendipitous accomplishment earned him a complimentary registration for the 7th Annual Midwest Conference on Philanthropy scheduled for Sept. 17-19, 2002, at Chicago's Navy Pier.
"This is a great surprise," said Andreychuk. "I joined AFP looking for more opportunities to network and grow as a professional. And to learn that I can attend the Midwest Conference on Philanthropy for free, well, that's just icing on the cake."
It's all about marketing
"The key to our tremendous growth has been an aggressive marketing campaign," said Bill Brooks, CFRE, president, Bill Brooks & Associates, and chair of the chapter's membership committee. "Our volunteers work hard to make sure that each member nurtures a strong connection to AFP."
Brooks is not joking when he calls their marketing campaign aggressive. It consists of several tiers of members - brand new members, prospective members and recently lapsed members. Each of these individuals receives a call from one of the 16 volunteer committee members at appropriate times throughout the year. In addition, committee volunteers host a new and prospective member reception prior to each chapter program. These have been well attended and afford a face to face welcome.
By involving members from the start, and keeping them involved throughout the year, they are more inclined to get maximum benefit from their membership. They are also more inclined to renew their memberships. Which is why recent AFP Chicago Chapter members also receive another call when they are about six months into their membership.
"At this point, we ask them if they've joined a committee or if they've been attending the meetings and educational activities," adds Brooks. "If they say no, we go over the various opportunities again and invite them to participate."
Each of the volunteer callers is provided with a list of individuals to contact as well as a comprehensive script.
Testing the waters
With over 8,000 registered charities within the city limits of Chicago, there is even more room for growth says Barbara Talisman, president, Talisman Associates, Chicago, Ill., and vice president, chapter membership services.
The chapter is currently test marketing to 33 organizations with budgets of more than $20 million and to 350 organizations with budgets between $1 and $5 million. These types of organizations typically have more than one development professional and may be more likely to pay the AFP membership dues for their employees, which makes them a target market.
"By testing our marketing techniques, combined with superior volunteer-based customer service, we find that many members and prospective members respond well," said Talisman.
Raising the bar
The success of the Chicago Chapter can be attributed to its overall attention to providing high quality programming as well as catering to members' ever-changing needs.
"A chapter's growth relies on many things: volunteers, educational programs, leadership, etc.," said Talisman. "So as our membership continues to grow, we must remain vigilant and make sure that our services and programs maintain their high standards."
But as the old saying goes: success begets success. Now, Brooks is chasing even larger numbers.
"Now that we've reached 1,000 members, we've set a new goal of 1,100 members," said Brooks. "It's just like fundraising - you've got to continually set a high goal and work hard to achieve it."

DOUGHERTY COUNTY, GA — The driver of a pick up truck which collided with an ambulance remains in the hospital tonight.
Dougherty County Police says Christopher Barfield is in serious condition at Phoebe Putney hospital. Police say Barfield was driving a pick-up truck near the 1800 block of County Line Road Saturday afternoon when he turned left, in front of a Dougherty County EMS unit that was attempting to pass the truck.
Authorities say Erskin Livingston, who was driving the ambulance and his passenger, Victor Allen suffered minor injuries. The passenger in the truck was also treated for minor injures. Police say a 2 month-old and 1 year-old child were also in the truck, they were not injured.
"When you see an emergency vehicle approaching you from the rear the best thing you can do and it's also in compliance with what the law says, is to go to the right, allow us to go past and it makes it a lot easier on everybody," said Corporal Ted Wertz with the Dougherty County Police Department.
The ambulance was responding to a traffic crash and had lights and sirens on.
Charges against Barfield for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle are pending.

Seasonality in the tourism industry is particularly marked, but it is a reality that many businesses have to grapple with, sometimes because of the fluctuations of demand and in other cases because of supply, for example of rainfall in the horticultural industries, says David Morobe, Business Partners regional manager.
For Morobe, one of the marks of true entrepreneurship is how ably business owners adapt to and even counter seasonality in their industries. He gives the following tips on how to ride the roller coaster of seasonal fluctuations:

Cannabidiol – What It Is and Medical Uses
What is Cannabidiol?
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is a compound that is derived from cannabis. It has a variety of medical benefits, without the psychoactive effects of the THC found in cannabis. Cannabidiol oil is extracted from CBD-rich cannabis, the type of plant that is non-psychoactive. Unlike the THC-rich cannabis strains, the CBD strains offer the full medical benefits to your organism, without the "high" effects, so you can go about your day.
Cannabidiol is a natural product that is becoming a popular alternative in the treatment of inflammation, anxiety, pain, seizures, spasms, psychosis, and other similar conditions, with no side effects and no interactions with other medical treatments.
Even before the legalization of medical marijuana use in several U.S. States, researchers have been experimenting with the properties of cannabidiol extensively. Clinical research sponsored by the US Government has indicated that CBD has great potential in treating a wide range of conditions, some more efficiently than others. Conditions include diabetes, alcoholism, MS, arthritis, PTSD, depression, epilepsy, chronic pain, and other neurological disorders. Cannabidiol is also regarded for its potential as a cancer treatment, and research is being conducted in order to confirm and implement this. The neurogenic and neuroprotective effects of CBD have been proven in test conducted on animal and human patients alike.
Cannabidiol Health Benefits
Numerous Government sponsored scientific studies have been conducted in order to prove the medical properties of CBD Cannabidiol. Many more studies are still ongoing for this compound, in order to study its potential uses for treating even more medical conditions in a natural, risk free way. Cannabidiol is becoming popular as a natural, alternative treatment, for many affections, and a no-risk alternative to dangerous chemical treatments sold over the counter. The following list contains just a few of the major demonstrated health benefits of CBD.
Aids Digestion
CBD is especially useful in assuring and maintaining a healthy appetite. A number of illnesses and medical treatments (chemotherapy, etc) reduce your appetite to a very low-level, preventing the body from healing itself. Cannabidiol has the power to stimulate your appetite and maintain your body well nourished, so the healing process can be boosted. According to the National Cancer Institute, CBD is safe to use as an appetite stimulant in cancer treatments. CBD binds to the cannabinoid receptors in the body and regulate feeding behavior directly in the brain. Additionally, Cannabidiol prevents and eases nausea and vomiting. This is a very useful property for people enduring chemotherapy and other such harsh treatments for heavy affections.
Relieves Anxiety
CBD can be used to successfully alleviate severe social anxiety. Social Anxiety Disorder is one of the most common types of disorders that impacts the quality of life. In a 2011 study, 24 people with social anxiety disorder were selected to participate in order to confirm the positive effects of CBD in anxiety treatment. The subjects were split into 2 groups, one group receiving CBD treatment while the other (control group) a simple placebo. After conducting a number of tests on both groups, the scientists measured blood pressure, heart rate and other physiological and psychological stress factors.
The group that was given the CBD treatment showed much reduced anxiety, and scored better in cognitive and social discomfort ratings. The control group showed no improvement from the placebo, and presented the same levels of anxiety as before the study began.
The National Institute of Mental Health stated that approximately 15 million adults in the United States suffer from some form of social anxiety or social phobia. The traditional treatments for these affections involve heavy medication and counseling. The CBD treatment has been proven to yield better results that the prescription drugs, and with no health risks, as opposed to the pharmacy based treatments. Cannabidiol treatments present zero health risks, without side effects or withdrawal symptoms.
Can Prevent Cancer Development
The National Cancer Institute has conducted and published a number of studies on the anti-tumor effects of CBD. Among these studies, a particular one conducted on rodents concluded that Cannabidiol "may have a protective effect against the development of certain types of tumors.". The research is still ongoing on this issue, but there are strong indications that CBD can induce the death of tumor cells, and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Another study conducted by the California Pacific Medical Center indicates that Cannabidiol might be responsible for "turning off" the gene involved in the development of breast cancer. CBD does this by inhibiting ID-1, thus preventing cancer cells from traveling to distant tissues.
Antipsychotic Properties
The University of Cologne in Germany has conducted research into the antipsychotic properties of CBD. Schizophrenia affects about 2.4 million Adults in the United States, and CBD is a prime contender for an effective treatment of this illness. Cannabidiol relieves psychotic symptoms associated with schizophrenia.

As I was driving by the Oakdale Hershey plant, I saw the American flag flying in front. A thought came to mind: Maybe it should be replaced with a flag of Mexico. Next, we should ban the importation of Hershey products that are not produced in the United States.
If all products that have left the United States to be produced in foreign countries were banned entry, it might prevent future American manufacturers from leaving.
I know that the 65-cent Hershey bar that will be produced in Mexico at a much lower cost will still be sold for 65 cents. It will no doubt cost more because a shipping cost will have to be added.
Let the citizens of Mexico eat chocolate!

I've struggled with an eating disorder for years, and despite moving to Florence last year to live out my dream, I learned that my recovery was still a work in progress. After six months of a new job, new friends, and a new man in my life (not to mention the beautiful Italian scenery and lifestyle), I felt unwell and, after being confronted by my roommate, I learned I needed professional help. I soon had to accept that starting fresh is impossible. Recovery is an everyday battle, but one I don't ever plan on losing. I'm fortunate to have such an incredible network of support, both near and far, and I'm grateful for the women willing to share their stories of ups and downs in recovery because, truly, we are stronger together.
These women shared their own stories of how life and recovery are on a continuous loop.

Etude House Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Pencil Review and Swatches
Oh hello vibrant! Etude House Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Eyeliner Pencils are a range of new popping shades of liner available for Summer 2013 that recently introduced with the Etude House Color Pop Collection.
Ok, like we need more eyeliners right…especially with Urban Decay monopolizing the unusual shades of eyeliner market right?
But…props to Etude House because seriously the Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Pencil Collection has shades that Urban Decay hasn't even dreamed up yet like bright orange and red. You know you want red eyeliner, don't sit there shaking your head no, deep in your heart you kinda having this lemming for a red eyeliner.
Me too.
That's why this collection of eyeliners appeals!
Etude House Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Pencil might seem like any other eyeliner out there BUT they have an advantage with shades that aren't commonly offered by brands.
Granted you have navy blue, green, and even brown in this collection but the real joy comes from the unusual shades like tangerine, bright yellow, and red. Outside of Sleek Make Up not a ton of brands have embraced shades like this so that in itself makes this collection very unique.
They have the market pegged for fun shades but they don't quite have the formula down in my humblest. These are creamy with a small bit of shimmer in each shade however, the texture seems a little drier to me and it tugs when applied. It doesn't have that smooth, creamy glide a good eyeliner pencil typically has. PK104 is a sparkling baby pink and this actually had a far nicer formula compared to the other two shades I got which were OR201 and RD303. PK104 had a smoother, creamier skip free application where as OR201 and RD303 I felt like I had to go over my line to get the smoothest appearance. Don't get me wrong they are creamy just not creamy enough for me especially when compared to formulas like Pixi Eyeliner or Urban Decay. I think if you have oily lids you'll like these as the formula will likely apply easier for such a skin type however, those with drier eyes might feel they aren't as creamy as they had hoped for. They wore strong for me once applied and I didn't have issues with the color fading or smearing/smudging away.
On the up side…the colors are stupid cool! Tangerine eyeliner? Sign me up! I look a fool in my photos below using on the lash line only but you can pair it up with a softer peach or gold shadow and it'll look fabulous!
If nothing else Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Pencils hit all the right marks for unique shades.
I got mine from E-bay seller F2Plus1 (not affiliated).
Anyone try these?
Do share!

The Wrench July
Aug 16, 2017
Hi Squaddies,
In the summer time, not only the weather is fine, but also the modding community is striving. Maybe it's simply too hot out there (We're sorry everyone in the Southern Hemisphere.), but there was a lot of great work done in July, and we're happy to show you the projects and progress of our great community.
Join us on the
Community Modding Discord
where you can join discussions and meet the modding community. It's a great place to share your ideas and passion with like-minded people that will be happy to help you along the way. Let's roll!
WASP carrier and LCAC by
Legochiel picked quite a project. He is getting a jumpstart on naval assets with a WASP-class carrier vessel and already has made great progress on the mesh. We're looking forward to seeing more of it, especially when it gets some paint applied to its hull. It seems like he likes to stick to a theme though with his recent work on the LCAC (fancy military name for a hovercraft), which also already looks very promising.
Substance Painter Reskin Mask Sets by
Stom is working on giving the community a quick and easy way to do reskins of player models without the tedious work of masking parts of the texture and applying the camo in the right places. He is setting up Substance Painter files where everyone can load the right texture in and it gets applied automatically!
Bocage by
Set in a fictional location, bestpony tries to capture the style of terrain mostly known from Normandy in France. Known from World War 2 as "Hedgerow Hell," fierce fighting between US and Russian forces will surely take place in farms, towns, winding roads and impenetrable hedgerows.
French Foreign Legion Mod by
Already an instant community favourite, the French Foreign Legion Mod team is regularly swamped with question and requests for information about their mod on our Discord server. With a now really impressive team size, work is progressing well and we can see new assets and screenshots being released regularly. They will soon be sharing progress on
their website
. People who can understand French (or are very nifty with Google Translate) can already track their recent progress via their
Squad Faction Tutorial by
If you saw
r0tzbua's Photoshop Template
to quickly give the US models a new look by changing the camo on the texture, you may have the itch to experiment with a faction inside the Squad SDK. In his new 35 minute tutorial he tries to share what he has found out about setting up factions and will make it easy for you to understand the inner workings of them and their roles inside Squad, at least once you get over his Austrian accent.
Khe Sanh Combat Base by
Socrates has become involved with some Vietnam War modders and started to work on a map featuring the Khe Sanh Combat Base, a U.S. Marines outpost south of the Vietnamese DMZ throughout the war. He began a few days ago and fellow modders are already working on assets for it. It is planned to be a 4x4km map ultimately focused on helicopter and ground vehicle warfare.
CACTF (Combined Arms Collective Training Facility) by
CACTF may sound like a very fancy tea, but it's actually just another military acronym that you will have to try to remember. Nevertheless, wunda is working on a 6x6km AAS map that tries to capture a fictitious training simulation between US and Russian forces in a large US based training facility. It already features 18 new buildings built out of concrete or re-purposed shipping containers and simulates a Middle-Eastern environment.
Skorpo by
After first being showcased in the
April edition
of The Wrench, Skorpo has undergone a big expansion, with most of the playable mainland area being sketched out and worked upon (6x6km). Focused on bringing an authentic Norwegian environment to life, Zeno has put careful attention to layout realism and together with new true-to-life buildings in the works, the only thing missing for the player will be the smell of seawater and the cold breeze of the Atlantic ocean.

Showcase Sunday (8): Templar Publishing special edition
Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits, and Tea, and gives us an opportunity to talk about all the books we've
begged, borrowed or stolen recently acquired!
Today's is part two of my blogger brunch special, featuring the books I got from Templar Publishing (see part 1 for the Hot Key Books). They presented us with their January – June releases this year. As I mentioned on Twitter, Templar are my current go-to publisher for books I know I'll certainly enjoy, whatever genre, so I was so excited to receive these books from them at the brunch.
Books for Review
- Me, Suzy P by Karen Saunders
- Ferryman by Claire McFall
- Last Chance Angel by Alex Gutteridge
- Arcadia Awakens (Arkadien #1) by Kai Meyer
- Arcadia Burns (Arkadien #2) by Kai Meyer
So many great books, plus a few more notables Deceit by Deborah White, Drummer Girl by Bridget Tyler and of course the second of the fantastic series Sweet Shadows (Medusa Girls #2) by Tera Lynn Childs.
Lots of other great blogging friends have been raving about Ferryman (which I am currently reading), and I am really intrigued by both Deceit and Last Chance Angel.

~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Dr. Irene Butter ~ Holocaust Survivor and a Living Example of Human Rights!
Dr. Irene Butter, PhD in Economics, is a courageous survivor of the Holocaust. She was instrumental in helping to start the Raoul Wallenberg Award that the University of Michigan offers every year. Among other great humanitarians, the Raoul Wallenberg Award has honored the Dalai Lama, Ross Perot, and Hans Göran Persson, former Prime Minister of Sweden.
Irene has carried on her great humanitarian work year to year as the organizer of the outstanding and inspiring women's dialogue group called "Refusing to be Enemies". This internationally known group is composed of six Jewish women and six Palestinian women called "Zeitouna". Their mission is to prove to the world that despite our ethic and cultural differences, we are at heart all part of the Human Family!
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Pastor Chukwunenye Onuoha ~
A Spiritual Leader from Nigeria, Now Serving God's Cover Church in New York
My name is Pastor Chukwunenye Onuoha. I am proud to serve God's Cover Church in Queens New York. I am 46 years old. I was born in Umuire, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria and I moved to this country with my wonderful wife, Ijeoma, and my three beautiful girls in 2006. My parents taught me many lessons that made me the person I am today. They taught me how to care and share with others. As a child, I was bringing other children to feed in our home. My parents supported my idea by feeding as many children I can bring to our home during lunch or dinner. At the age of 22, I started a scholarship program that helped many students to graduate from hard schools, colleges, and vocational institutions. I invested all the money I've made working for Coca-Cola Company in Nigeria on charity activities. I have no regrets whatsoever spending my life earnings on people. I did not look for any recognitions or any payment from them.
I stared God's Cover Church International in Queens, New York three years ago. Here I give spiritual counseling and support the people in need. The church will soon have a soup kitchen for woman and children by this year. We are also constructing a free math and science building for children within the ages of 5-10 in Aba, Nigeria.
"My goal is to touch people's lives in a way that they can never forget so that they can also turn other people's lives around. We can only fix this world by fixing the people who live in it."
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Father John Powis ~ "The Rebel With a Cause!"
He took his initial training in the housing projects, assisting an order of nuns devoted to the poor. He arrived at Presentation in 1963, a time when many whites, fearful of the blacks and Hispanics moving in, decided they would rather be someplace else. Father Powis led his own small reverse migration. His thinking was that the church should nourish body as well as spirit. Parishioners complained of few jobs, bad housing, and overcrowded schools, and he sought to bring his pulpit into the streets. He helped persuade the city to let some of Brownsville's children ride buses to attend under-utilized schools in white neighborhoods.
He and others urged an alternative on city officials. "We said, 'Let us run our own schools.' We wanted African-American and Hispanic principals. They would always pass the written test and then fail the oral interviews. We needed some people who understood the children. Well, we got African-American and Hispanic principals!"
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Attorney, Laurel Kaufer ~ Professional Mediator and Co-founder of The Prison of Peace Project
Laurel Kaufer is an Attorney, Mediator and Arbitrator in Los Angeles, CA. Named 2012 California Lawyer Attorney of the Year for Pro Bono Services, Kaufer is a past chair of the California State Bar Standing Committee on Dispute Resolution, a Diplomat of the California and National Academies of Distinguished Neutrals and a regular instructor at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
As co-founder of Prison of Peace, Kaufer has taken on the profound task of transforming women serving time in prison into Peacemakers. In response to a request from an inmate to teach mediation to a group of lifers and long-termers, in order to reduce the violence in prison, she created a program which provides communication, peacemaking and mediation skills to inmates and then prepares them to train others. In the process of learning, using and sharing these skills with others in the prison environment, these women shift from Serving Life to Living a Life of Service. Prison of Peace is now expanding to the remaining women's prisons in California and a men's prison, as well as Los County Jails and Los Angeles County Juvenile Services.
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Dr. Craig Oster ~ A 19 year survivor of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)
I am Dr. Craig Oster. In 1994, at the age of 30, I was given the "death sentence" diagnosis of ALS, better known as "Lou Gehrig's disease." Even though my physical functioning was slipping away, I successfully fought to fulfill my dream of earning a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Michigan State University in 1996. I entered hospice in late 2008, after I had lost over 45 pounds of muscle and was requiring breathing machines to make it through the night. Digging deeply and praying earnestly, with an undeterred spirit I gave everything to continuing my holistic healing quest. On May 30th, 2009, I am ecstatic to say, I was discharged from hospice!
Now I am the Co-founder and Director of THE HEALERS campaign which is conducting innovative ALS scientific research in collaboration with scientists from Harvard University, University of Brasilia, and Catholic University of Milan, Italy. I am on a mission to demonstrate as much wellness as possible and to inspire people to approach whatever "hand that they have been dealt in life" in the most constructive manner possible.

~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Becki Hawkins ~ A Hospice Nurse who has learned the Blessing of Life through her Terminal Patients
Becki Hawkins is a marvel. When most of us turn away from dealing with the subject of cancer, Becki welcomes cancer patients into her life. A 30-year Oncology/Hospice Nurse, Becki has touched the lives of her patients with patience, and with those very special intangibles of love and compassion. Becki has truly helped to change lives. Beck has been there to the end with her patients, and has been there always as a comforting force for the family of her patients. Her experiences have opened her to greater wisdom and have taught her the true meaning of love!
Becki goes where few of us dare to go. Among the many life issues Becki deals with on a daily basis is the one enveloped in this stunning question: What Can The Dying Teach Us About Living?
…………………….. ……………………..
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Larry Johnson: An All-round Humanitarian… since Thirteen Years Old!
Right from the start my destiny was to be a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER! I had the honor of growing up in a part of Newark New Jersey which was also the home to my friend and mentor the great writer Amiri Baraka (Leroi Jones). I met and was influenced by some of the most influential social leaders of all time: Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, Rap Brown and Maulana Karenga. By the age of 13, I was hooked on learning how to help create a better life for the people in our wonderful community. I started a newspaper called the "Stirling Street News" which even then searched for a deeper and wider integrated approach to solving the problems that face all people around the globe.
I organized and established Community Patrol in the different housing projects in Newark for "Committee For A Unified Newark". I was one of the key organizers for internal and external security along with personal security for the first National Black Assembly held in Gary Indiana. It was attended by over 8000 delegates from across the United States. This single event is responsible for the majority of Black Elected Officials across this country!
I, Larry Johnson, am now a public speaker. I speak around the country on various topics focusing on entrepreneurship, motivation, limited government and the protection of individual rights. As a public speaker, I travel the world spreading the message of the amazing benefits coming from removing initiatory force from society leading to virtually limitless individual freedom for all people!
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Hungarian born, Vera Matty ~ "Helping others comes naturally to me"
I, Vera Matty, was brought up with Philanthropists, with people that always cared for their own family members and other people too… especially those that needed help. I have worked as a VOLUNTEER with the New York Unemployment Project, for the ACLU and for the Central Park Conservancy.
During this time of volunteering, a fateful thing occurred. The president of the New York Unemployment project, Jonathan Rosen, invited me a number of times to travel with him and his assistant to Washington DC, TO TALK TO THE SENATORS, and CONGRESSMAN about the urgent need to help people in New York! Wow! It involved the very treacherous situation of little children living in shelters. On one of the trips to Washington DC, I met with SENATOR TED KENNEDY and also SENATOR CLINTON! And on one of the following trips, the President himself told me that they would like me to SPEAK IN THE SENATE! Again, I said "Wow"! My speech was on a TELEVISED PRESS CONFERENCE to represent Senator Clinton, and help her PASS THE BILL. I knew that millions of people will be listening. I knew that I would have to do a good job – to help everyone – including our 9 million unemployed people. I will say, to my great joy, my speech was very well received by the US Senator…in fact, they were overjoyed with it. And , again, perhaps fatefully – Senator Clinton's bill passed!!
These are some of the significant examples of human service in my life…as I engaged in looking after others – helping others. To write more – would turn into a NOVEL…a real one… as I love to write as much as I love to serve!
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Parker B. Pennington ~ World Class Skater who serves Muscular Dystrophy too!
Parker B. Pennington is a talented young man with World Class Skating abilities. Parker is the ONLY SKATER to EVER CLAIM U.S. NATIONAL TITLES at these 4 Levels: Juvenile, Intermediate, Novice & Junior. He has competed internationally representing Team USA for over 12 years, traveling to more than 14 countries, while claiming a bronze medal at the Junior Grand Prix Final. Add to this that, outside of skating, Parker has appeared in a commercial as a stunt double for Woody Allen, and you have mammoth achievements that few of us could trump!
~ But why is Parker a credit to our People of Distinction Humanitarian Awards?
In 2008 and 2009, Parker produced and directed "Skate for Life" which showcased Olympic and National Champion Figure Skaters, Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" Dancers and more. "Skate for Life" helped to raise over $46,000 for Muscular Dystrophy in those 2 shows!
His new show tour, "Skate Dance Dream" will inspire our Human Family by giving kids the chance to dream big through performing with and learning from their heroes. Add to this that Parker was a member of the National Honor Society in high school and was one of a handful of selected recipients across the nation to be honored in the prestigious Scholastic Honors Team by U.S. Figure Skating… now you have the complete Renaissance Man!
~ 2013 "Unsung Hero": Bonnie Conn-Oster ~ A Tribute to One of World's Most Heroic Mothers, Dr. Craig Oster's Mother!
My name is Dr Craig Oster and I am writing this Living Tribute to My Mother, Bonnie Conn-Oster, a dedicated and humble Mother of three, who has taken heroic and courageous efforts which have helped me survive and thrive 19 years after being given the death sentence diagnosis of ALS. My Mother is a powerful example of one of the most important kinds of Unsung Heroes in the world—the Altruistic Mother. For years, I watched my Mother work about 60 hours every week in significant pain as a waitress while care-giving and helping me for over another 30 hours each week. She made the survival of her son to be her chief mission, as she would have done for any of her children. Before my illness, my Mother showed the same dedication with her Mother who was dying of cancer for several years.
However, like her own mother, my Mother eventually developed aggressive stage 4 cancer which was crushing her heart, throat, and spine… The doctors said that her survival was impossible. I had my adviser, the legendary Dr Bernie Siegel, call and speak with my Mother when she was more stable. And to make a long story short, my Mother has been cancer free for about a half a year! Bonnie was made the cancer survivor spokesperson for our local hospital!
When I was told that I was chosen to be one of the "Unsung Heroes" to be honored at the People of Distinction Humanitarian Awards, I wrote Al Cole, the Executive Director of the Awards, a passionate letter stating that I didn't feel right about accepting the award without my Mother being a joint awardee. I sobbed as I wrote the letter, because my Mother is the True Unsung Hero, not me. I'll be forever grateful to Al Cole that he has enthusiastically allowed my Mother to be a People of Distinction Humanitarian Awards "Unsung Hero" too!

Whatever your business or challenge, Copex will partner with you to enhance your organisation's performance through In-House training.
Delivering training in a way that is flexible for you and your needs.
Copex corporate In-House training provides a more personal approach to meeting your training needs. All courses in our public portfolio can be delivered In-House and on site at your site or chosen venue and customised based on your organisational and employee needs.
Tailored to your requirements
- Standard Courses – from our comprehensive programmes, delivered In-House where content and format is based on the published outline. Associated Certification and Accreditation is offered if applicable.
- Tailored In-House Training Courses – where we will adapt course length, content and specific emphasis of existing courses to meet your particular objectives and requirements.
- Bespoke In-House Training Courses – we will work with you to assess your business objectives and develop an In-House training and development course customised specially to meet your organisational needs.
Maximum Return on Investment
Copex In-House Training and Development Solutions are a flexible, efficient, cost and time effective way to get the maximum return on your training and development investment.
Because training is conducted at your premises, you will avoid the cost, travel arrangements and schedule disruptions associated with sending your people further afield. Learning is even more relevant and effective since together they can discuss the unique circumstances associated with your organisation.
Advantages and Benefits of Corporate In-House Training
The Copex approach to a Corporate In-House Training:
Cost savings/effectiveness: In-House cost is lower than public scheduled courses; you pay per training event, rather than per individual. A Trainer is sent to you rather than set up an environment and hence larger return on investment with reasonable savings. You don't have to pay for the travel and possible accommodation costs of your employees.
Objective training/relevance: An In-House training course allows the training to be a lot more focused on the specific subjects and skills that are relevant to your business. Case studies and learning methods are relevant to the organisation. The learning outcomes intended to be attained or topics critical to your operations are immediately addressed with solutions being carried out; therefore, the impact is immediate.
Performance maximization: The courses can be prepared to respond to your operational issues using real life examples and therefore have the most effect. Employees will be able to work on current work or examples of work which relates to their roles not a generic example; maximising your Team's learning experience and eventually their performance.
Enhance Team building: Having a room full of delegates from different departments and levels can encourage team work, build morale and collegiality. This is a fantastic result as it is often in this type of social learning that the most learning is done when ideas are being bounced off each other.
Xtra convenient and minimal disruption: By bringing our corporate In-House training courses in your own premises (or premises of your choice) can make working around employees' schedules a lot easier as you are eliminating logistical issues while employees can be easily reached in case something arises that needs to be addressed immediately.
Make the smart choice, why choose Copex?

Sustainable mac
mac birmingham is committed to making arts an important part of people's lives through work which pushes creative boundaries and encourages engagement with the arts on all levels.

Achievements to date:
Green Group
This is made up of volunteers across mac. We meet regularly to discuss how to make mac more sustainable. We have developed an Environmental Policy and Environmental Action Plan.
Voltage Optimisation System
Installed January 2017, the Voltage Optimisation System will reduce mac's emissions, saving 8.5%, an annual saving of 34.3 tonnes of co2 emissions per annum.
Eco Fest
mac hosted its first Eco Festival in August 2016, offering free workshops and activities throughout the day. Local organisations including Friends of the Earth and were on hand to help the public increase their eco friendly credentials.
Solar Panels
mac has had a 9.9-kilowatt solar PV system installed on the roof since 2012. It generates around 9000 kWh per year. The screen in our foyer shows a graph depicting the energy we have generated each day, and shows how much energy we have produced since the panels were installed.
Energy Saving
mac have replaced lighting with low wattage LED alternatives in the First Floor Gallery, Terrace and Arena Galleries, Hexagon Theatre and kitchen. We have identified opportunities for upgrading to LED lighting elsewhere.

About the SCM Art Collection
Early Pioneer artists had little training, yet they had a great desire to bring culture and sophistication to the raw desert. These artists included: Dan Weggeland, "Stansbury Point;" George M. Ottinger, "Lake Reflections, Sheeps Head Rock, Great Salt Lake," and "Garfield Beach and Black Rock;" C.C.A. Christensen, "Nordic Skier;" Ruben Kirkham, "Holbrook Canyon;" Alfred Lambourne, "Great Salt Lake;" Henry Lavender Adolphus Culmer, "The Temple of Om." These artists wanted to show the grandeur of the West and the social context of their time. While primitive by nature when viewed against later artists, with much more training, their efforts are huge in a time when fifteen dollars was a high price for a painting and which most could not afford.
Christian Eisele, "Ute Indian Camp," John Fery, "Evening Landscape," "Moose in Landscape," and "Mountain Scene," are examples of a much more romantic later vision which landscape artists brought to Utah after the railroad began to provide access to popular art trends from the East coast.
These trends motivated the next generation of Utah's best artists to obtain all the training they could in Utah, and then to study in the finest art schools in Paris, France. John Hafen (1856-1910), "Sanpete Mill, 1890" and James Taylor Harwood (1860-1940) became our best trained and most collected artists. Harwood was the academically trained artist of the time. Well traveled, his career spanned many styles, but he always came back to Utah subjects. Examples of these include "Tree, Southwest Utah Lake," and "Where the Blackbirds Nest." Competent in different mediums he painted "California Coast," "The Coast of Azure" and "Wings on the Adriatic." He regularly exhibited in the Paris Salon and in many competitions throughout the United States.
John B. Fairbanks (1856-1946), "Moonlit Anchor," studied in France before returning to Utah. His son. J. Leo Fairbanks, also studied in France and returned to be a very active educator and mural artist. He painted "Salt Lake Valley Landscape" and the mural studies "Industry and Commerce," "Peace and Plenty," and "Wealth and Security."
Cyrus Dallin (1860-1942), a major American sculptor, was born and raised in Springville, Utah, and always called it his home. He, along with John Hafen, were the original donors to Springville High School and its collection, which later became the Springville Museum of Art.
Dallin studied first in Boston and then in Paris, France. He exhibited internationally and created many important monuments. He is most known for his Indian epic series, influenced by his personal interaction and observation of the Indians in Springville whom he knew as a boy. Examples of the series are represented in this collection: "Scout," "Medicine Man," "Signal of Peace," "Appeal to the Great Spirit," "The Protest." Individual large scale examples of these works are in Kansas City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston and many other locations.
Other sculptures in the collection include the delightful polychrome courtroom woodcarving by a New Mexico artist, and Stan Johnson's "Buffalo Hunt," "Eagle Boy," and "Hiawatha."
Somewhat later, other artists from the Salt Lake Valley studied in France together. Alma B. Wright (1876-1952), "French Street," and "Silver Lake;" Mahonri Young (1878-1957), "Ville de Adam," and "Ganado;" and Lee Greene Richards (1876-1950).
Following the First World War, New York City became the world's leading art center. Waldo Midgley (1888-1985), "Black Rock;" LeConte Stewart (1891-1990), "Green River Desert" and "Fish Lake," and Howell Rosenbaum (1906-1984), "Barnyard" began to bring a sense of the more modern viewpoint to Utah. They focused on local Utah subjects but added a new sense of design and social commentary which was lacking in previous generations.
Other artists of this period were Frank Zimbeaux (1872-1938), "Hotel Utah;" John Stansfield (1876-1950), "Grand Canyon;" Joseph A. F. Everett (1880-1946), "Across the Canyon;" Cornielus Salisbury (1890-1967), "Miners Cabin;" and his nephew, Paul Salisbury (1908-1972), "Freight Wagons."
Current works by artists like Dennis Phillips, Ken Baxter and many others bring the collection to the present day.
We invite you to examine these and all of the other works of art in the Snow, Christensen & Martineau collection.View Art Collection >

How to Spin a $47m Whitewash. By Labour.
It's been revealed the Labour-led government spent a whopping $47 million dollars on "spin doctors" over the last 5 years (to July '07). Government communications staff increased to a massive 448 workers (including 37 ministerial staff).
The Sunday Star-Times points out this is more new staff hirings than all the journos at TVNZ, Radio NZ, Sunday Star-Times, and the Dom Post put together! (And that's without including the many thousands of new "public servants" employed in the Capital at great expense by Labour over the last few terms.)
The Electoral Finance Bill limits advertising by political parties and spending by "third parties", but puts no restrictions on communications spending by Government departments.
Labour's Duty Minister of the moment, Rick Barker, was too busy to be interviewed by the SST newspaper, getting one of his many "spokespeople" to respond for him.
Top of the list for spin-doctors was the Ministry of Social Development (under the wing of MP David Benson-Pope), with 54 communications staff and contractors. 159 people earn over $160,000 a year (just 6 people were paid that much in 2002), and 21 earn more than $200,000.
Less surprising is that the biggest spender in pure financial terms was the Ministry of Education, which spent $6.6 million (with 70% on contractors).
National's Katherine Rich recently raised concerns about out of control salary spending at the Ministry of Education. As of last July, there were 46 employees earning more than $130,000 a year (just 13 were paid that much in 2002).
Head of Journalism at Canterbury University, Jim Tully, said the number of PR staff was growing as newsrooms were shrinking. "The growth is indicative of a much greater determination to put the best possible spin and to influence the media generally," he said.
* Sunday Star Times: Spinning govt yarn costs $47m
* Scoop: MSD top-band salaries increase more than 546%
* Scoop: Labour 'most spun' Government ever

Sitting BullBook - 2008
"Yenne's book excels as a study of leadership."—The New Yorker
"Combining sound historiography and singular eloquence, versatile American historian Yenne provides a biography of the great Lakota leader in which care is taken to describe sources (a great deal of them are in oral tradition) and to achieve balance with compassion. A warrior as a young man, Sitting Bull was later more of a shaman and tribal elder. During the Little Big Horn, he was in camp making sure the children were safely concealed. He was a firm friend of Buffalo Bill Cody, who made him a celebrity, and was shot to death while being arrested by Indian policemen during the Ghost Dance rebellion, shortly before Wounded Knee. Yenne hails from Lakota territory in Montana and uses his familiarity with it to complement the richness of data in the narrative with an extraordinary sense of place. Indispensible to Native American studies.—Booklist (American Library Association):
"In this stirring biography, Yenne captures the extraordinary life of Plains Indian leader Sitting Bull while providing new insight into the nomadic culture of the Lakota. Born in 1831, Sitting Bull witnessed the downfall of his people's way of life nearly from start to finish—despite some clashes, "the Lakota supremacy on the northern Plains remained essentially unchallenged" until the 1850s. Yenne describes how hostilities increased after the 1849 California gold rush, and were exacerbated by the opening of the railroad; conflicts and broken treaties would harden many Lakota against the colonists, including Sitting Bull. A high point is Yenne's account of how celebrity journalism created the myth of Custer's Last Stand, casting the general as hero and Sitting Bull as the villain, and how the US cavalry's defeat was used to justify forcing Indians off their land and onto reservations. The last half of the book describes Sitting Bull's unsuccessful attempts to defend the Lakota's land and culture through negotiation and peaceful resistance, alongside a dismal record of government betrayal and neglect. In this remarkable, tragic portrait, Sitting Bull emerges as a thoughtful, passionate and very human figure."—Publisher Weekly (Starred Review)
"This is much more than the usual romantic Native American biography or sympathetic history. Instead, Bill Yenne transcends the customary Eurocentric filter and debunks the myths and romantic distortions, combining thorough literary research with contemporary Native American sources to penetrate the complex and enigmatic character of America's best-known Indian hero. And he does it all in a refreshing, engaging style." —Bill Yellowtail, Katz Endowed Chair in Native American Studies, Montana State University
"Bill Yenne has written an accessible account of Sitting Bull's life that gives us a sense of the man and his times." —Juti Winchester, Curator of the Buffalo Bill Museum
"Sitting Bull, leader of the largest Indian nation on the continent, the strongest, boldest, most stubborn opponent of European influence, was the very heart and soul of the frontier. When the true history of the New World is written, he will receive his chapter. For Sitting Bull was one of the makers of America."—Stanley Vestal
Sitting Bull's name is still the best known of any American Indian leader, but his life and legacy remain shrouded with misinformation and half-truths. Sitting Bull's life spanned the entire clash of cultures and ultimate destruction of the Plains Indian way of life. He was a powerful leader and a respected shaman, but neither fully captures the enigma of Sitting Bull. He was a good friend of Buffalo Bill and skillful negotiator with the American government, yet erroneously credited with both murdering Custer at the Little Big Horn and with being the chief instigator of the Ghost Dance movement. The reality of his life, as Bil
Sitting Bull's name is still the best known of any American Indian leader, but his life and legacy remain shrouded with misinformation and half-truths. In Sitting Bull, Bill Yenne follows the history of this remarkable man from a headstrong youth and his first contact with encroaching settlers, through his ascension as the spiritual and military leader of the Lakota, and death at the hands of the Indian police on the eve of the massacre at Wounded Knee. In Sitting Bull we find a man whose life spanned the destruction of his peoples' culture, and whose greatest legacy was to help ensure their survival in the face of an uncertain future.
Baker & Taylor
Documents the life of Sitting Bull, from his youth as a warrior and rise as a tribal elder to his failed efforts to save the Lakota's land and culture through nonviolence and negiotations.

After receiving the National Award, Dhanush is back with Venghai. This movie was supposed to be released by Sun Pics,, but due to political changes, the producer himself released the movie without any promotion. More over Dhanush almost lived with Sun pics for the past 3 years. This movie's result will show the exact box-office status of Dhanush. Hari directed this movie. So how it's gonna be different from his previous movies like singham, saamy, vel etc??? Read and Find out !..
Story Analysis:
The entire story happens in Padiapuram. Veerapandi(Raj kiran) is the land lord of the village and Selvam(Dhanush) is his Son, who is an angry young man. Entire people of the village respect Veerapandi consider him as God. Local politician Rajalingam becomes MLA under the influence of Veerapandi. As usual Rajalingam wants to make money using his MLA post, but Veerapandi won't allow Rajalingam to misuse his power. There the conflict arises between Veerapandi and Rajalingam. The second half is the usual cat and mouse game played between Selvam and Rajalingam. As usual, the hero wins in the climax fight and movie comes to an end. Regarding Radhika(Tamanna), she just appears in the name of heroine, sings duet with hero and brings so called sentimental twist in the movie.
Cast & Crew Analysis:
Dhanush played the male lead, When compared to his previous movie like Aadukalam, Pudhupetti etc., the performance in Venghai was not up to the mark. I felt, Dhanush underplayed in many scenes. I don't need to say anything about RajKiran and Prakash Raj. Both acted very well.
Tamanna played the female lead. She appeared in typical Hari movie costumes like half saree, saree and colurful chidhar. To be frank, such costumes didn't suit her. It's high time, Hari don't choose Modern actress like Tamanna and make them look ugly on screen and make their fans feel sad. Inspite of being a mass masala movie, Tamanna made her presence felt on screen in many places. Apart from the main lead, like other Hari's movie, star cast included many people like uurvasi, Uma padmanaban, paravi muniya amma etc.,
Kanja Karupu took care of so called Comedy…Except few comedy scenes, others were either Mokka or remake of Vadivelu comedies.. Devi Sri Prassad spoiled the entire mood of the movie. None of the song was good and so as background score. It's high time, he stops remaking his own tunes. Audience are not fools to listen to same type of songs for the past 5 years.
Regarding Hari's direction, can't find any fault in his direction. The speed in which every shot moved in second half was terrific.. He should have concentrated more on story Line then depending purely on screenplay.
General Analysis:
First half was too slow, Second half was too fast. Songs interpreted in many places and reduced the pace of the movie. Over all, it's a movie which can be seen once by ignoring songs and comedies.
How many more years, Hari gonna make a movie in a same pattern???? It's high time he change himself and try something new,, or atleast change the location of the movie from village side to city side and change the costumes of the actors/actress:-) Right from Tamizh we are seeing the same in all Hari's movie.
Expected No Of Days Of Successful Run: 40 Days
My Verdict: Above Average

Alternative Florida, and the Virgin Holidays v-room
So last week I spent a gorgeous few days with the gang from Virgin Holidays discovering the sunny south western coast of Florida. Plenty of people fly into Orlando for fun and frolics at Disney and Universal theme parks, but we went further afield and discovered wonderful resorts, stunning white sand beaches, some great fun activities and food, food, food! Look out for my Alternative Florida series over the next few weeks. First, though, we headed to Gatwick Airport and spent some time in Virgin Holidays' v-room – their private lounge with brilliant facilities – for a stylish start to our holiday!
If you've left home early, it's such a treat to book the v-room so you can check in and have somewhere lovely to go for breakfast. There are comfy seats, all sorts of yummy food, a great play area for the kids (and video games for the bigger ones), plus really nice bathrooms (SO important, or is that just me?), free wifi, oh and a full bar if you're that way inclined…
Obviously the best way to start your holiday is with bubbles, so we started ours with some pink ones, thanks to a little drop of crème de cassis, plus a healthy platter of fruit (and a not so healthy bacon sandwich!). There's also an epic pancake making machine, muffins, pastries, more hot breakfasts, smoothies, cereals, juice, coffee… you name it.
It's just for Virgin Holidays customers, so you don't have to battle the queues, and what's more, the staff even tell you when you're flight's boarding, so no constant checking of the information boards, and no last-minute legging it to the gate. Next thing you know, it's time to hop on your plane and start your holiday. Happy days!
For more information, have a look at this video:
Start your holiday before you've even taken off in the v-room at Gatwick Airport: adults £24.50, kids from £14.00. Virgin Holidays is a member of ABTA and is ATOL protected.
