Doin' the nasty with a stacked lap dancer
Featuring: Claudia KeAloha and Rocky
Date: November 30th, 2017
Duration: 20:48
"As you may have seen in my videos, I love giving head," Claudia KeAloha said. "I love to get my guy very hard by giving him head before I let him in my pussy. I love titty squeezing and sucking foreplay. Kissing and my tits being sucked make me cum the hardest. I want my partner to cum in my mouth or on my tits." A big-boobed stripper who travels to different areas such as Hawaii and Florida to dance, Claudia is one of the rare SCORE Girls who says the word "cunt." "When I watch my videos, sometimes I think of how I could have made it better and I laugh thinking about the behind-the-scenes moments," Claudia told me. "It's fun times. Yes, I masturbate when I watch my videos!" We usually think that girls who do porn are size queens regarding their personal penis preferences, but for Claudia, that's not the case. "Size is important, but I don't need a really huge dick. I like a good dick size. I like to have my nipples sucked as we fuck, and to be kissed while fucking makes me cum.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - You might think it's a little early but it's time for our annual snow forecasting contest. When do you think we'll get our first inch of snow here in Richmond?
We have to get started early-- that October snowstorm could mean an early start to the snow season around here. And remember last year?
Our winner Jason Endries predicted December 13th. And the year before our first snow was in the first week of December. So we've moved the deadline earlier. It's November 16th. That's next Wednesday at 4pm.
And would you believe that day was too late back in 1962, when 9 tenths of an inch of snow fell in Richmond on November 5th!
This year we're using our facebook page. Look for the "Snowcaster of the Year" link on the left side of the NBC12 page. You can post your forecast there.
Remember: tell us the date and time when you think the Richmond Airport will record its first inch of snow.
If you aren't on facebook, drop us an email. The address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
You won't be included in the contest unless you include the time and date.
If you win-- you get an interview on NBC12 but the big prize is bragging rights. So put your thinking cap on and let me know your forecast. You just may be our snowcaster of the year!

Border Patrol agents rescued two illegal immigrants who had been stuffed inside a speaker box in an effort to get around an immigration checkpoint.
The rescue took place at the Sarita checkpoint near Kingsville, Texas which is about 80 miles north of the Texas border on U.S. Highway 77 when agents saw a woman driving a white car approach the inspection area, information released to Breitbart Texas by the U.S. Border Patrol revealed.
The woman driving the car was in fact a U.S. citizen; however, a police dog alerted the agents to possible contraband. The agents sent the car to a secondary inspection area where they found two illegal aliens who had been stuffed inside a speaker box in the car's trunk.
The two men appeared sweaty and one of them claimed to be dizzy from being stuffed in the hot car for more than an hour and a half during the smuggling attempt, the information provided by the agency to Breitbart Texas revealed.
Both aliens were offered medical attention but declined. Agents noted that the way the illegal aliens had been stuffed in the box and the position in the car's trunk would have made it impossible for them to escape from the vehicle in an emergency. The two aliens are expected to face deportations proceedings while the driver of the vehicle is expected to face criminal charges.
The Texas Legislature is currently considering legislation to increase the penalties for people engaging in human smuggling.

A man has been arrested by Northamptonshire Police in connection with the shooting of a 16-year-old teenage boy in Wellingborough.
Alain Mbuku, aged 21, was arrested on Wednesday in Bedford by officers from the Operation Worcester campaign tackling gang violence in Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire.
Mbuku, from Bedford, featured on Crimewatch last month after he failed to answer to police bail in relation to the incident which involved the discharge of a firearm in the town in March last year.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: " He has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and failing to surrender into police custody. He appeared at Northampton Magistrates Court yesterday (Thursday, July 6) and was remanded into custody to appear at Northampton Crown Court on July 28."

The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service 2012.
Volunteers working to protect, conserve and improve the route of the Wilts & Berks and North Wilts Canals for the benefit of local communities and the environment were delighted to learn though an announcement in the London Gazette this Diamond Jubilee weekend that 'Her Majesty The Queen has been graciously pleased to confer Her award in 2012 upon The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust in recognition of its outstanding voluntary work in the community.'
Volunteers of the group come from a wide age range and include professional men and women of many disciplines, craftsmen and women in the fields of engineering, building and environmental conservation. Many have been involved for a long period with new people coming on board all the time. The professionalism and care that they bring to a myriad of tasks ensures that the finished excellence of their work brings benefit to the environment and to local communities right across Wiltshire, Swindon and Oxfordshire.
From qualified colleagues, volunteers can learn skills such as hedge laying, the operation of construction plant and the safe use of hand tools. Once trained, nationally recognised certification is awarded. External courses are provided in the use of chain saws, fund raising and in many other required skills. Support and guidance is provided on the ground by appropriately qualified volunteer team leaders and from a backroom group of volunteer professional advisors. Health and safety procedures, overseen by a volunteer H&S Director, are understood and respected by all operational volunteers. Full public liability insurance is carried as is professional indemnity insurance for those professionally qualified volunteers working in design and other fields.
Feedback from individuals is encouraged and good ideas are adopted thus fostering a culture of ownership. Contribution is recognised by appropriate levels of exposure and credit in the Trust magazine and by annual awards to the individual contributing the most volunteer hours and to the team recruiting the most new members.
Communities and wildlife benefit immediately from newly opened lengths of towpath and waterway providing access for all and the creation of much needed [nationally] new standing water habitat. The volunteers, whether in the field or at a desk, benefit from participating in a worthwhile and stimulating project which is widely recognised as positively influencing the social, economic and environmental climate of local communities.
Socially by bringing together the diverse interests of walkers, cyclists, horse riders, canoeists, anglers, groups of school children and boaters. A greater understanding of local history and identity has emerged as research undertaken by some of the volunteers can now explain more clearly the part that rural Wiltshire and Berkshire played in the development of the industrial revolution of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Economic improvements and opportunities that the waterway will bring to communities such as the market town of Melksham and the former railway town of Swindon are being recognised by the Chambers of Commerce in both communities.
By completing the restoration of the waterway from end to end, across Wiltshire, Swindon and Oxfordshire an exciting new wildlife trail will have been created providing linkage between areas of existing habitat and new routes of migration for creatures who might become endangered by the consequences of climate change.
As a lead project towards full restoration it is hoped that within the next five years a continuous footpath and wild flower trail will be opened between Abingdon on the River Thames and Semington on the Kennet & Avon Canal thus creating a new long distance off-road footpath between the cities of Oxford and Bath.
Although the work of the group is widely recognised by its peer organisations across the country as the most ambitious waterway restoration project yet undertaken, time is always made available to consult on issues both large and small. People raising observations are listened to and their comments, where possible, are built into finalised proposals. Illustrated presentations are regularly given to special interest organisations and at public exhibitions. Whilst all of the volunteers may be described as being enthusiasts for what they are striving to achieve, among the leaders are people who have successfully delivered similar projects, and won national prizes in the process.
It is this combination of seeking the wider view, listening to what is being said and the professionalism of those carrying out the task that has earned the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust a very wide level of good will and respect both from local communities, riparian Members of Parliament, local and national businesses, educational establishments, central government departments, recreational bodies such as Sustrans and the British Canoe Union and all of the local government organisations along the line of the waterway including Parish, Town, District and County Councils.
The Wilts & Berks Canal was formally closed by an Act of Abandonment in 1914 when land over which the waterway was constructed was ceded to riparian owners. Although various lengths are already in the ownership of Partners who actively support the project, the remainder are vested in a wide range of private landowners. Persuading these landowners to join in with this very worthwhile community project is the principal challenge facing the Trust. Landowner views range from "how soon can you make it happen, so that the benefit of diversification might be gained" to "I would rather the canal take a different route and not cross my property". This apparent obstacle is being tackled by persuasion and the strength of argument of the wider benefits to all of creating a new twenty first century leisure resource and wildlife trail.

HRH the Duchess of Cornwall was guest of honour at a drinks reception hosted by the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne in the lovely surroundings of Bowood House. The reception was arranged by Lord Lansdowne, President of the Wilts & Berks Canal Partnership, to thank members for their work, and to celebrate their successes. The Duchess of Cornwall is patron of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust and takes a keen interest in the Trust's work. She enjoyed hearing at first hand about recent achievements like the success of Swindon's green development at Wichelstowe in the 2011 Waterways Renaissance Awards organised by the Waterways Trust. She also heard of the progress made in the plans to restore the canal link to Melksham. Although called 'The Wilts & Berks', boundary changes in the two centuries since opening mean that the canal is no longer officially in Berkshire but now after leaving Wiltshire and Swindon approximately half of its length crosses the county of Oxfordshire.
HRH was delighted to meet Councillor Patrick Greene, Chairman of Oxfordshire County Council, Councillor Rod Bluh, Leader Swindon Borough Council, and Councillor Alison Thomson, Chairman Vale of White Horse District Council, as well as representatives of many members of the Partnership.
Chairman of the Partnership, Fleur de Rhe Philipe said, "The Partnership is most grateful for Lord and Lady Lansdowne's generous support in hosting the reception. The Wilts & Berks restoration is probably the most ambitious in Britain and the strength of the Partnership is key to maintaining progress. The Partnership shares a clear view of the many benefits that the restored waterway will deliver to communities across Wiltshire, Swindon and Oxfordshire."
John Laverick, Chair of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust, said, "The part-restored waterway is already bringing many benefits to our local communities. Many people enjoy leisure activities like walking, running, cycling as well as fishing and boating on the water. The canal is a magnet for wildlife and offers a great deal for birdwatchers and wild life enthusiasts. And in the long term there will be significant economic benefits; as the restoration is completed the connections to the Kennet and Avon Canal and the Thames will open up a very attractive area for narrow boat cruising."
Patrick Greene, Chairman of Oxfordshire County Council said, "We see our membership of the partnership as very worthwhile because it has enabled us to lend support to a project that is bringing a wonderful amenity to Oxfordshire."
Cllr Alison Thomson Chairman of the Vale of White Horse District Council said "The work of the volunteers is much appreciated by our local communities and we look forward to the waterway connection being completed so that boaters and towpath users can enjoy the Vale from a new perspective"
Cllr Roderick Bluh Leader Swindon Borough Council said: "The recently opened section of the Wilts & Berks Canal at Wichelstowe is a demonstration of the Partnership delivering more of this exciting project and how in the future the countryside can be brought into the centre of Swindon."
Ken Oliver writes

Celebrating the Wilts & Berks Canal's 200th Anniversary - Sunday 12th September 2010
The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust and Swindon Borough Council collaborated to organise a family fun day on the canal at Wichelstowe and 2,000 people came along to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the canal. The event was held at Wichelstowe, where 4km of canal form a key part of the new "green" housing and business areas.
Leader of Swindon Borough Council, Rod Bluh said, "Today has been a chance for the people of Swindon to get a sense of what a restored waterway might bring to the town. Some people think I'm trying to bring a dirty, industrial canal into Swindon. Why would I do that? What I would like to do is bring the countryside into the centre of our town."

Military and civilian operators have joined forces at the St. Augustine and St. Johns County Airport today to conduct high-tech training exercises and Historic City News was there.
Today's evaluation exercises provide a scenario based live training event as part of an external evaluation process that is conducted by the 44th Civil Support Team every 18 months.
Civil Support Team members receive more than 600 hours of training by agencies such as FEMA, Department of Energy, Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency. They can identify chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents and substances, assess current and projected consequences, advise on response measures and assist with requests for additional support.
The scenario being evaluated today is that a radical group has infiltrated the St. Augustine and St. Johns County Airport with the intent of stealing an airplane to be used to disperse weapons of mass destruction over civilian targets in the St. Augustine area.
For the purpose of today's training exercise, airport personnel have spotted the radicals and the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office has intercepted them; killing four and capturing two.
In capturing the radicals, Sheriff's deputies discover weapons of mass destruction and withdraw from the scene; establishing an Incident Command and calling in the Civil Support Team for support.
The Sheriff's Mobile Operations Center is acting as the Incident Command; a member of the Sheriff's Office is serving as the Incident Commander and is working in close coordination with the Army evaluation team.
The purpose of Civil Support Teams, which contain both Army and Air National Guard personnel, is to be ready to deploy rapidly to assist a local incident commander in determining the nature and extent of an attack, to provide expert technical advice on weapons of mass destruction and to help identify and support follow-on state and federal military agencies.
There are 57 Civil Support Teams located throughout the country. The 44th CST was founded in 2000 and certified in January, 2002. An advance team is deployable within 90 minutes and a regular team is deployable within three hours according to information provided to Historic City News at the scene this morning.
The Incident Commander in today's exercises assigns missions to the Civil Support Team and monitors the CST as they conduct those missions during the evaluation.
According to a press release received from the Florida National Guard this morning, "Exercises provide invaluable experience in working with these civilian organizations. Learning their capabilities and procedures will better enable not only the CST in their mission, but the entire WMD response Team – first responders, civilian and military – to function as a well trained team that will save lives."

- As noted, the dark match before last night's WWE SmackDown tapings in Atlanta saw Luke Harper, Mojo Rawley and Tye Dillinger defeat Aiden English and The Ascension. WWE posted this Fallout video with English confronting Harper backstage after the match.
- WWE has a new poll asking fans the most crazy moment from this week's SmackDown brawl with the women's division - Charlotte Flair's moonsault to the floor, Carmella's soaring dive onto Charlotte on the floor, Becky Lynch Bex-ploding Carmella onto the floor, Charlotte powerbombing Natalya through the table or Shane McMahon announcing the first-ever Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. As of this writing, 52% went with Shane's announcement while 37% went with Charlotte's powerbomb to Natalya and 6% voted for Charlotte's moonsault. The rest received 4% or less.
- Another SmackDown has passed with no TV match for Mojo Rawley, who just won the 4th annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33 last month. Mojo has worked several dark matches, including the six-man last night in Atlanta, but has not worked a TV match since mid-April.

Kevin Killian is my hero...
...because he can write things like the following, from his book *Action Kylie*:
"But what does one do with one's enthusiams? Where do they keep? There's an anxiety in declaring oneself a Kylie fan--similar to how coming out used to feel. (Nowadays it's the same exact thing I suppose.) Dennis Cooper can say, "Oh, I'm influenced by Bresson," and people will nod with approbation, even if they're thinking of *Cartier*-Bresson. I suffered some credibility loss while under the spell of Dario Argento, but nothing like the waves of shame and misery that engulf me when people say, "Kylie who? That girl who did "the Lo-comotion"?" I think I like her because she reminds me of myself, I don't have Dennis' genius, not to mention Bresson's, but like Kylie I can stretch out a second or third rate talent and make it mean something by a) insisting on its smallness; b) attempting to push the envelope, usually by collaboration with others and c) feeling no guilt when, in a corner, at the end of my tether, or upset by something in my personal life, I retreat to my roots and produce XYZ of the thing I know you'll like from me."
...a testimony to Kevin's critical genius, and hilarious self-reflexivity.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are reportedly living separately until their baby is born - but they are still together.
The pair, who are expecting their first child together in November, are still said to be a couple but have decided to live apart for now after "fighting more".
A source said: "They are living separately right now until the baby is born because they don't want the fighting to affect the baby.
"They think it is a healthier way to live until the baby is born. He is living in Calabasas and she is in Tarzana. It's just temporary and because they are living apart, the fighting has gotten less."
Rob is believed to have lashed out at his family earlier this week over the baby shower he was being thrown.
Rob's sisters threw them separate baby showers, but he decided not to go to his after finding out it was being filmed.
They then told him that Chyna wasn't allowed to go either if the sock designer was refusing to go.
The source added to Us Weekly magazine : "Here's what happened: Kim threw the shower. Kylie [was] the one that Rob called and told he wouldn't go to the shower, because she mentioned it was being filmed.
"He [then] got really upset and told her he wasn't going, but that Chyna still wanted to go. Chyna was all dressed up and ready to go, [but] Kylie then told him that Chyna wasn't invited if he wasn't going to be there.
"She said it was his shower and Chyna could come if they were together - but if he was going to screw them by not going, then Chyna couldn't come. That's when Rob exploded. It caused a huge fight between Rob and Chyna too, so that's when Rob went off on Kylie on Twitter."
However, Rob and Chyna - who also has three-year-old son King Cairo with ex-boyfriend Tyga - are still thought to be an item, and his family are "confident that they will get through it and patch things up".
Another source told the publication: "Rob and Chyna are not really broken up, but they are not in a good place right now.
"Filming the show has been a lot of stress on their relationship. Add to that Chyna's pregnancy and the fact that Rob and his moods go so up and down. Rob really loves Chyna."

Billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban likes to take calculated risks. But like all entrepreneurs and investors, Cuban appreciates a stable environment to operate in. And stability is one thing Donald Trump won't bring to the Oval Office — or the American (read global) economy — should he win the presidency in November. Trump has done a good job identifying some of the problems we have, Cuban has said. But the GOP candidate fails to offer any real solutions to them. "He doesn't say how he's going to get there," Cuban says.
Comparing the empty rhetoric of Trump's stated initiatives to those of Trump's likely opponent Hillary Clinton, Cuban told CNN's Erin Burnett: "I can go to Hillary's websites and there's spreadsheets, there's depth, there's analysis, there's details."

It has been claimed that a good plastic surgeon is Plastic Surgeon Raleigh NC a component medical doctor and portion artist given that they may have the power to help make at times remarkable advancements in physical appearance via the smallest alterations inside the individuals characteristics. As a result of accomplishing lots of surgical procedures, the competent plastic surgeon also develops the flexibility to make improvements that appear all-natural.
Unfortunately, currently lots of surgeons have really minor or no practical experience in any respect in plastic surgery, nevertheless they remain advertising and marketing themselves as plastic surgeons. Should you are usually not aware about this, you could possibly end up picking a surgeon that has executed your technique just a few situations, or hardly ever performed it in any respect!
Now you may believe this might in no way take place, but below may be the reason that it may and does come about to people today who will be not very careful in deciding upon their surgeon. The startling point is that, in several states, a surgeon isn't going to even should have ANY specialised instruction in plastic surgery to carry out the treatments! Meaning that, seriously, any individual that has a health care degree can lawfully advertise by themselves as a plastic surgeon!
But why would any self respecting health practitioner do that? To determine why you have to take a look at your situation with the medical doctors viewpoint. Just about all the processes a surgeon does are compensated for by HMO's and insurance organizations who set the worth which the surgeon can cost to the procedures. Plastic surgery is different, since it is optional, and also the insurance policies corporations will never generally pay for these kind of methods. This suggests which the medical doctor is absolutely free to charge regardless of what they want for these processes.
Due to this, lots of surgeons evaluate plastic surgery as almost the one space still left exactly where they're able to obtain comprehensive purchase their providers. Thanks to this case, there is a incredibly strong economic incentive to the surgeon to start presenting cosmetic surgery strategies, whether they can be capable or not.
So it truly is vitally critical that, after you are considering a surgeon, you make definitely sure that they have certification from recognized boards just like the American Board of Plastic surgery or even the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Medical procedures. It's also wise to be aware that there are certifications to choose from from unrecognized or self-designated formal sounding boards that actually signify absolutely nothing. My investigate turned up quite a few cosmetic surgery clinics with surgeons together with the right certifications which were capable to perform my procedure. A few of the surgeons I found turned out for being liposuction specialists, so you should really be sure which you verify for professionals in your town.

For prolonged sun exposure, whether it be relaxing by the pool or going out for a stroll, you should be looking for a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30.

Gamma is the name of Γ γ, the third letter of the Greek alphabet, approximately corresponding to G. The Greeks borrowed the letter names from the Phoenicians together with the alphabet, and in that sense the Greek name "gamma" is a cognate of, among others, Hebrew gimel and Arabic djeem.
Gamma rays is a name given to the shortest and most energetic electromagnetic radiation, and like all electromagnetic radiation they can exhibit wave-like or particle-like behaviour. However, since their actual definition depends on context more than on frequency or energy, there is some overlap between low-energy gamma rays and high-energy X-rays.
In mathematics, there also exists a Gamma function which, among other properties, generalizes the factorial to real and complex numbers.

... weekend a horrible idea or just drinking to excess?
Responses (4)
I take 20 mg per day and drink 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks in the evening several times a week and definitely noticed from the start a quicker effect, but I'm very conscious of it and limit myself. My doc knows about this and is okay with it. I don't think what you said is in excess.
Hi, please do not take any of fence to what I am going to write as I am doing so as a Pharmacy Technician. I take Cymbalta for Depression and I have FMS and uncontrolled Epilepsy.
It is always advised NOT to drink alcohol at the same time as taking Cymbalta as it can increase the levels of serious side effects and cause damage to your Liver. It can also also increase the levels of any other side effects but where you may not usually feel any of them, on alcohol you would.
Some healthcare advisors may say it is ok to drink a very small amount ( something I the Pharmaceutical Formulary and Society always see in warnings ) You have to take into consideration your illness and how you feel at the time,
( feeling lower than usual, feeling better than usual! ) both could lead to taking just that one too many, and I mean one, making any side effect worse or give you one you've never had before. You also don't mention if you are taking any other meds ... these should also be checked.
I'm sorry if I sound like I'm being a scarecrow but I would sooner see you healthy without than suffering for the sake of one or two.
From someone who used to enjoy a drink as much as anyone and now hasn't been able to for over 14 yrs ;-( ... good luck
I hope you take care in whichever choice you make throughout this journey of pain we all have... NYU

the whole trip!!! I would request her again when we do the trip again this year.
In fact, the candy cane house actually looks like Dr. Seuss, and I told her
that. Tell her that, she will get a kick out of it. Wouldn't do the trip without

Il Cinema Ritrovato XVII edizione 2013
This year's festival organised by the Cineteca di Bologna was an incredibly varied programme of archive film. There were four different screens during the day and in the evening the popular open-air screenings in the Piazza Maggiore. With so many films on offer most delegates could see only about a quarter of the available films and there were many hard choices. About two thousand delegates attended, joined for many screenings by local cineastes. This year, for the first time, there were 'kids screenings' – great! The films themselves ranged from early in the silent era to fairly recent features.
One of the important strands was Letters from Chris Marker. This tribute to the filmmaker who died late in 2011 was drawn mainly from his early career. The Catalogue offered this quote: "I am an essayist … Film is a system that allows Godard to be a novelist, Gatti to make theatre, and me to make essays." His distinctive approach to film is markedly different from most other filmmakers, whilst at he same time he has proved to be enormously influential. Among the more well known titles in the programme was La Jetée (1962), a philosophical exploration of science fiction, but also of Hitchcock's Vertigo. Here was also Lettre de Sibérie (1958) where Marker takes an ironic and critical pen to some central cinematic conventions. Both of these films had been transferred to DCP, but to my delight my favourite, Le Joli Mai, was presented on 35mm. This has been restored to 145-minute version. This has to be one of the great works of cinema. Marker's particular talents provide moment of beauty, lyricism, irony, criticism and of the slightly surreal. The film is notable also for the cinematography of Pierre Lhomme, co-director: and of the voice of Yves Montand reading the commentary. I hope we will get more in future years, especially one favourite I long to see again Grin Without a Cat (Le fond de l'air est rouge, 1977).
Japan Speaks Out! Singers and Swordsmen continued last year' exploration of early Japanese sound cinema. The programme was curated by Alexander Jacoby and Johan Nordström, whose introductory double-acts were pithy and informative. I missed out on the 'singers' in 1930s musicals, but caught both some contemporary films and the 'swordsmen' in jidai-geki [period] films. There was Anu Imoto [Ino and Mon, 1935] a story of a brother and sister which is set between the contrasts of countryside and city. Sakasu Goningumi (Five Men in the Circus, 1935) was a rare film directed by Mikio Naruse. Kochiyama Soshun (1936) was a period Ronin film: i.e. samurai reduced to working for gangsters and merchants. The 35mm print was fairly dark and the plot was not the easiest to follow but I thought this a fine example with great use of studio settings.
Bigger Than Life: A Journey through European CinemaScope offered both films not seen for many years and some new [for me] surprises. Sammy Going South, one of my favourite Mackendrick's was on 35mm though unfortunately the Eastmancolor process had faded to a noticeable pink. Miklós Janscó's The Round-Up (Szegénylegények 1966) was fortunately filmed in black a white, a great format in anamorphic presentations. There were also two Soviet films in this format. Pečki-Lavočki (Happy Go Lucky , 1972) was directed by Vasilij Šukšin and followed a married couple from a State Farm making a long train joruney to a resort on the Black Sea, Odessa. The film focused on their encounters on the journey with other passengers: though there was also what I assume was a deliberate play with Eisenstein's Potemkin with many feet on a stone staircase. The second Soviet film was Ijul'skij Dožd' (July Rain, 1966) directed by Marien Chuciev. This film showed clear influences from the nouvelle vague and Michelangelo Antonioni. I was rather irritated by what seemed to me cinematic borrowings. However, a couple of fellow delegates were very impressed with the film.
The World Cinema Foundation had a series of restorations screened at the Festival. There was Ousmane Sembène's seminal Borom Sarret (Senegal, 1963). Lino Brocka's brutal but also moving Manila in the Claws of Light (Maynila sa mga Kuklo ng Liwanag, Philippines 1975). And a new film for me, Ragbar (Downpour, Iran 1971). I found the last a difficult film to assess, the opening appeared to meander but the second half developed strongly. I suspect that the film, censored and then destroyed by the Shah's regime, needed a good knowledge of Iranian society to interpret. All these films have been transferred onto DCP: one of the advantages of this format is that it is likely to circulate more easily in the digital age.
There was a section of the programme Recovered and Restored, most of which I missed. However, I did catch the screening in the Piazza Maggiore of Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), restored in 4K resolution. I had wanted to see this film again after watching Amour (2012) several times. We had a brief extract of an interview with Emmanuelle Riva at the Cannes Film Festival. The Piazza was packed for this screening and I thought that the film merited it. Watching it after a break of quite a number of years, in a quality transfer, it seemed one of the masterworks of European cinema. From the opening shots of ash-covered lovers, through the riveting tracking shots in Hiroshima and the holocaust Museum there till the final moments in the early morning this was a fascinating and beautifully styled film.
There were an awful lot of fine films that I missed. These included most of a programme on War is Near: 1938-1939. A series of films either starring or directed by Vittorio De Sica. And a tribute to Bert Lancaster. I did catch for the first time Roberto Rossellini's Amore (1948) with two incredibly intense performances from Anna Magnani. And there were a number of sound films directed by Allan Dwan, who also featured in silent programme. The one to note is The Inside Story (1948) which, believe or not, has a plot built round the mantras of John Maynard Keynes. There was also his fine 1954 western Silver Lode that manages to reference Senator Joe McCarthy.
I hope to write up some films in detail for the Blog. Meanwhile you can check out Il Cinema Ritrovato at its WebPages. Also check out the DVD awards, an annual feature which is a good guide for lists of presents you might like for birthdays. This was a great week for filmbuffs, a distinctive and richly varied treat.

When the family is ready to play, a swim spa makes fun in the water easier than ever. For toddlers and small children, an adjustable current means safe, gentle fun. Create the perfect current to splash with little ones, and adjust easily for older children or adults.
Year Round, Indoor/Outdoor Use
There's no reason to pack the swimsuits when the season ends. Unlike a swimming pool, a swim spa can be placed indoors or out for year round use. Compact size means you can add a swim spa to an indoor patio, enclosed sunroom, even a refinished garage.
Easy Maintenance
Swim spa owners delight in the minimal amount of maintenance and care needed to keep their investment looking and running like new. Water care for the typical swim spa requires less chemicals, takes less time and is less expensive than a regular swimming pool.
So Go Ahead, take a Swim, You Deserve it!
It's, fast, fun and relaxing. Not only that, it's good for the body, soothes the mind and can improve your overall health and well-being.
To encourage local residents to check out the benefits of owning a swim spa, Hot Spring Spas will be providing free swim spa tests for the entire month. We do recommend, however, that people wanting to schedule their free 30-minute test call us ahead of time to reserve their spot.

Dating is a crazy business. It often involves putting oneself in the awkward position of having to make meaningful and engaging conversation with a virtual stranger while trying to assess if future encounters will be emotionally/physically/spiritually satisfying on any level. And you usually have to do this over dinner or drinks while trying desperately not to say something totally embarrassing or spray your date in the eye with lemon juice meant for your salmon, ice tea or Corona.
Of course you know the things you try to avoid to keep a date running smoothly (and impress a guy, if indeed, you have any interest). But how about the gaffes, blunders, and faux pas that men make on dates (while optimistically imaging themselves in your naked embrace)? The following is a list of ten dating mistakes men make that quickly send your hope of a possible ongoing relationship into the crapper (Sadly, you'll probably recognize more than a few of these from past dates-gone-wrong).
1) Trying to move things along too quickly
Very few things are as much of a turn-off as a guy who's discussing plans for dates seven, eight and nine, as the appetizers are being served on date one. He is likely to be perceived (often correctly) as desperate, controlling, stalker-ish or all three.
2) Not making definite plans or having a specific idea where he wants to go on a date
Especially early on in the dating process, suggesting a specific time, date and place for a romantic rendezvous is very important. Planning indicates a man cares enough to put a little thought into his date. Failure to do so is likely to be interpreted as lack of genuine interest or inability to get his act together – neither of which bode well for a long and happy relationship.
3) Talking about his ex's
We all have baggage. Some, just a small carry-on – others, a steamer trunk. Speak glowingly of an ex, and it sounds like he's not over her. Slam her, and he'll likely reveal anger issues that aren't particularly flattering. They're "ex's" because they're part of one's past. Best to leave them there.
4) Offering to split the bill
No law dictates that a man, simply by virtue of his sex, is required to pay on a date. That being said, a man who invites a woman out for dinner, then plunks down the cash to cover his share, expecting her to pony up the remainder will likely not endear himself to his dinner partner.
5) Treating wait-staff poorly
How a guy interacts with others is a strong indication of how he will eventually interact with you. Treating a waiter or waitress in a demeaning, condescending, or disparaging manner is a big old red flag.
6) Being a know-it-all
Confidence is attractive, arrogance...not so much. And an obnoxious, dogmatic, windbag is about as appealing as ringworm.
7) Not listening
Very few non-physical qualities are more appealing to most women than a man who actually listens to them. And conversely, nothing is quite so off-putting as a guy who doesn't.
8) Insisting on discussing topics not of interest to his date
One of the key elements of successful dating is establishing a rapport. A guy blathering on endlessly about subjects that are fascinating only to him, will most certainly assure his first date is also his last.
9) Being a "yes" man
Being overly solicitous and agreeing with everything you say may initially be quite refreshing and appealing. Soon, however, a man's refusal to offer an opinion of his own and reluctance to demonstrate he has a backbone, will cause you to lose respect for him, and without that, the relationship is dead-in-the-water.
10) Regaling his date with stories of his wild past
A guy's buddies may be infinitely amused by his tales of drunken debauchery, but confessing his ill-advised exploits on a date, no matter how 'hilarious,' is a crap shoot at best. While you may be entertained, you may just as easily question his character and judgment. The smart guy keeps his liquor-soaked nostalgia to himself.
The above is by no means a comprehensive list. There are virtually hundreds of things a man can inadvertently do to alienate his date. On the other hand, if a guy is really attracted to you , there are only about two sure-fire ways of throwing cold water on his "fire:" 1) Tell him that under no circumstances will you ever have sex with him; or 2) Tell him you're a dude.
If you have any questions about men, relationships, dating or a related topic, please feel free to email them to me at: email@example.com. I will try to answer as many as I possibly can here in my column. If you are interested in a more comprehensive compendium of musings on the male mind, check out David's [Link Removed]

One man comes to mind that I dated and he did ALL these things. Needless to say we didn't go out again...
A man like this will bored me to death. I'll felt asleep ASAP. LOL. Very interesting and true.
This is so true, esp. 5) Treating wait-staff poorly or a poor tipper.
He needs to smile and respect the waitor or waitress; do not flirt with waitress; and pay at least 15% to 20% accordingly.

Nick La Riviere has made a full time living as a musician for the last 12 years. He has performed in many parts of the world, including Mexico, England, Ireland, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, The USA, and across Canada. Nick has toured with award winning bands that play jazz, folk, pop, latin, Celtic, klezmer, classical, ska, and more. He plays trombone, conch shells, bass, and sings. He's also known for using a programmable harmonizer with his trombone to make one horn sound like a three piece section. Nick plays with many different bands including The Paperboys, Locarno, The HiFi, Adonis Puentes, and Michael Kaeshammer, and more. He's also been a special guest with various bands including 54•40, Nikki Yanofsky, and The Temptations.
The Nick La Riviere Band features danceable and listenable original songs influenced by artists like Sam Cooke, Jamiroquai, Trombone Shorty, and others. The recent album, Another Time Around, rich in variety, has received plenty of media attention. In addition to originals, live shows include energetic rearranged covers of tunes by Dr John, Bill Withers, The Box Tops, and more. Nick's conch shell playing is always a big hit, and brings something to the show that most people have never seen before. Festival shows always attract a dancing crowd, and home town shows are consistently sold out.
A former jazz student of Capilano College, he's now asked to adjudicate and be a clinician at conferences such as the BCMEA, and the West Coast Jazz Festival. As the title of his debut album suggests, there's just 'Too Much To Do.'
Nick also offers arranging, recording, and teaching services. He also leads a community R&B band and a community big band with weekly rehearsals.

"I do own another PDA. Ive been using a Palm IIIx
for the last 5 or 6 months. Right now Im using the Visor, although I am keeping
my IIIx synced for the time being."
is your favorite thing about your Visor Deluxe, except the fact that youre
one of the few who actually has one?
"Well, I do have to admit that it is pretty cool to
be fortunate enough to be one of the few that have one in advance, but that
will change soon with the announcement of the first wave of Visors shipping.
Probably the coolest thing about the Visor Deluxe is the 8MB of RAM. I have
a Palm IIIx, and I was always worrying about having enough space (I used it
for most everything and averaged < 350k free at all times)."
What is your least favorite thing about the Visor?
"My least favorite thing is the stylus. It is pretty
obvious that Handspring put in a tremendous amount of effort to make a very
high quality product (easily as high quality a unit as the Palms). It is just
a shame that such a poorly crafted, lightweight plastic stylus was included.
The other gripe I have is that you cannot properly use the USB cradle on PCs
with Win95B. Handsprings drivers require Win98. This is not a problem for me
at home, but I also need to sync my Visor in the office. Now I will have to
install a clean copy of 98 on my office PC."
So, for those of us who havent gotten a Visor yet,
will it be worth the wait?
"It will be well worth the wait for all. Especially
those upgrading from older Palm models."

Jenks High School is the new Oklahoma Class 6A Boys Tennis State Champion. The Trojans' title run ended a three-year streak of finishing as runner-up. Jenks' victory also halted Edmond North's five-year dominance, the Trojans collected 29 points, 7 more than second-placed Edmond Memorial.
When the Trojans' coach Ron Acebo introduced new blood into the team, many feared the lack of experience would hamper their chances to succeed. As it turned out, the talented newcomers reinvigorated the team and brought the belief that this could be their year, long before the state championships started.
Jenks finished as runner-up at the 2015 DecoTurf High School Tennis Team Championships Boys B Division. The result served as a confidence boost for the Trojans to make the push for the state championship. On the eve of the event, Ron Acebo was full of hope his team can handle the pressure and bring home the title.
"I think this team is a little bit more optimistic," Acebo said. "I think they really believe they have a chance to win because Edmond North is no longer that dominant. In years past, it's always been (Edmond) North having the big, dominant No. 1 and No. 2 singles and the No. 1 doubles, and this year it's more evenly divided."
Acebo's assesment was extremely accurate. Sophomore Scott Hjelm played a pivotal role in Jenks' win, as his 6-2, 6-3 triumph over Edmond Memorial's Blake Cherry in the No.2 singles final sealed the title for the Trojans. Braden Singleton and Daniel Archer also made a hefty contribution as they clinched the No.2 doubles event.
Since becoming Jenks coach in August 2007, it took Acebo eight years to deliver the first state championship title. Suffice to say, he was a happy and relieved man.
"We've come close so many times. I think we've maybe had five or six runner-ups," Ron Acebo said. "I mean, we've always been on the cusp and it's been real exciting to finally win it outright. That's made it so much more special."
Acebo went on to praise the players who won their respective events and propelled the Trojans to the top of the standings.
Hjelms battle with Cherry to clinch the title came with all odds against him. Cherry won convincingly won their previous meeting, earlier in the season, but Jenks' sophomore adapted quickly to the conditions and dictated the rallies.
"It was more like I want to win for my team," Hjelm said. "This win sealed it for us, so this is a big match."
Acebo was impressed by Hjelm's desire to win as he watched his player rushing to the net and hitting winners after winners.
"I saw a little bit of that throughout the season," Acebo said. "He had some up-and-down matches, but when the young man is on, he is very hard to beat and he really showed it today."
After years of finishing second in the state championships, Jenks took advantage of its opponents' struggles and made one decisive step towards the title. Now that the ice has finally been broken, the Trojans are well-positioned to go on a lengthy winning streak in the years to come.
