One of my personal photography highlights of 2014 happened to also be a personal highlight. I was able to do a photo shoot for musicians Ann Vriend and The Rooster Davis Group. I have been a fan of Ann Vriend's music for many years so this was a dream shoot. It was such a creative session. We did the shoot at the home of one of their friends, and this house is fantastic! It's a perfect 1960's time capsule (right down to the sectional couch with a hidden bar!!) and perfectly fit the retro-vibe they had in mind for the shoot.
Present at the shoot were some of Edmonton's most talented musicians. Trombonist Brad Shigeta, drummer Peter Hendrickson, and keyboardist David Aide (aka Rooster Davis) joined keyboardist Ann Vriend. It's clear these four like playing music together. We ended up doing several mini-sessions with different combinations of the four musicians on this day, including a quartet, a couple of trios, a duo, and a few solo sessions.
Ann was filming a video for "A Need So Wide" from her brilliant 2014 album "For the People in the Mean Time" later in the day at this house. The video should be out soon and I cannot wait to see it!!
Ann, David and Peter just returned from touring in Europe for a mix of Ann's solo shows and Rooster Davis shows, and Ann is about to head to Australia for a few months for another series of performances. Have a great time in Australia Ann!
The Rooster Davis Group promises to have a new album out soon.

I guess the Republicans didn't want the Democrats to be the only ones with a historic presidential ticket.
Senator John McCain has chosen a woman as his running mate. And no, it's not Condi Rice.
Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin will run with McCain, according to CNN.com
Palin, 44, who's in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state's top political job.
She catapulted to the post with a strong reputation as a political outsider, forged during her stint in local politics. She was mayor and a council member of the small town of Wasila and was chairman of the state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaska's oil and gas resources, in 2003 and 2004.
The conservative Palin defeated two so-called political insiders to win the governor's job -- incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski in the GOP primary and former two-term Democratic Gov. Tony Knowles in the 2006 general election.
Palin made her name in part by backing tough ethical standards for politicians. During the first legislative session after her election, her administration passed a state ethics law overhaul.
Palin's term has not been without controversy. A legislative investigation is looking into allegations that Palin fired Alaska's public safety commissioner because he refused to fire the governor's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.
Palin acknowledged that a call was made by a member of her staff to a trooper in which the staffer suggested he was speaking for the governor.
She is also a life member of the NRA. Full Story
Some people may see this pick as hypocritical, since McCain's gripe against his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, is his lack of experience. Because let's face it, McCain is 75 and he does have cancer -- a disease that there is no cure for. This woman could end up as commander in chief. Will she be ready to answer the phone at 3 a.m.?
And then there are those who may say he picked this woman to appeal to the
whiny, stupid , can't let shit go Hillary Clinton supporters who claim they'd rather vote for McCain than Obama because Clinton lost in the primary. (Even though the only thing McCain and Clinton have in common is the color of their skin.)
Whatever the reason for the pick, McCain has also made history.
God Bless America and no one else.

The system/publisher/developer bit: Nintendo DS, published by Nintendo, developed by HAL Laboratory
The ten-word synopsis: Chisel blocks to make an object using logic and numbers.
For a game that hinges itself around logic, Picross 3D doesn't make a lot of sense. By rights, a slow-paced, ugly-looking puzzle game that just makes you count blocks for hundreds of hours worth of levels shouldn't be fun. The appeal of Picross 3D, like it's flat predecessor, is a mystery. Yet it remains just as endearing to play as the 2008 title, the bane of so many of its' purchasers social lives. Continue reading

Are there false prophets amongst us? Those who preach a different Jesus?different spirit? Surely no… Unfortunately such folks do exist. For as the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. For their focus are on persons not the Lord our God.
As Jesus said, you will know the tree by its fruits. Do we want to embrace changes which leads us further away from the Lord? Done in the name of efficiency and effectiveness? Or should we instead embrace changes that lead us closer to Him even if it is the narrow road we have to travel.
We should all pray as Jesus taught us, to put the Lord our God above all things, to be Holy as our Heavenly Father is Holy. To seek His Kingdom and His Will for us. To be nourished by Him so that we can carry out His Will with peace and joy. And for the humility and strength to be forgiving, merciful and loving as He the Lord our God is.
Glory be to the Holy Trinity, now and forever. Amen
First reading
2 Corinthians 11:1-11
I only wish you were able to tolerate a little foolishness from me. But of course: you are tolerant towards me. You see, the jealousy that I feel for you is God's own jealousy: I arranged for you to marry Christ so that I might give you away as a chaste virgin to this one husband. But the serpent, with his cunning, seduced Eve, and I am afraid that in the same way your ideas may get corrupted and turned away from simple devotion to Christ. Because any new-comer has only to proclaim a new Jesus, different from the one that we preached, or you have only to receive a new spirit, different from the one you have already received, or a new gospel, different from the one you have already accepted– and you welcome it with open arms. As far as I can tell, these arch-apostles have nothing more than I have. I may not be a polished speechmaker, but as for knowledge, that is a different matter; surely we have made this plain, speaking on every subject in front of all of you.
Or was I wrong, lowering myself so as to lift you high, by preaching the gospel of God to you and taking no fee for it? I was robbing other churches, living on them so that I could serve you. When I was with you and ran out of money, I was no burden to anyone; the brothers who came from Macedonia provided me with everything I wanted. I was very careful, and I always shall be, not to be a burden to you in any way, and by Christ's truth in me, this cause of boasting will never be taken from me in the regions of Achaia. Would I do that if I did not love you? God knows I do.
Matthew 6:7-15
Jesus said to his disciples, 'In your prayers do not babble as the pagans do, for they think that by using many words they will make themselves heard. Do not be like them; your Father knows what you need before you ask him. So you should pray like this:
'Our Father in heaven, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven those who are in debt to us. And do not put us to the test, but save us from the evil one.
'Yes, if you forgive others their failings, your heavenly Father will forgive you yours; but if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive your failings either.'

Carlow GAA has announced an exclusive naming rights deal for Dr Cullen Park and their training centre in Fenagh with local company Netwatch.
County Board Chairman Michael Meaney said: "We are delighted to have a Carlow based company showing the confidence in the GAA to come on board with us.
"The naming rights to stadia is something that other counties have done successfully and Netwatch Cullen Park, is as it is now to be known, is a very positive step for all concerned."
"As a company, Netwatch is committed to supporting people and projects locally and we are delighted to support Carlow GAA," Netwatch CEO David Walsh added.
"The heritage of Dr. Cullen is maintained in the new name of the stadium and this was very important to us and to Carlow GAA. In 2016, the stadium celebrates its 80th year in existence and we look forward to working with Carlow GAA on marking this very significant anniversary."
An official launch will take place later this month to mark this momentous event in Carlow GAA history.

faster pussicat! kill kill!
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1965 film. It was written by Jack Moran and Russ Meyer and directed by Russ Meyer. This film stars Tura Satana, Haji, and Lori Williams.
The film features gratuitous violence, sexuality, provocative overcoming gender assignments, and outrageously campy dialogue. It has become a cult film favorite and has been widely referred to in pop culture.
It is one of Meyer's more provocatively titled and explicitly exploitative films, yet unlike most of his films it does not contain explicit nudity.
"The best movie ever made, and possibly better than any movie that will ever be made." ~John Waters
estratti di una recente intervista (a.d 2000) a tura satana.
Why do you think people still love "Faster Pussycat...Kill! Kill!" today?
Tura Satana: I think it's as popular today because it carries the same message that it did when it was first done. Plus, I think that a lot of people are seeing it for the first time. I think that the message that the film sends is a message to women in general. It is that women can be feminine and yet still be strong. They no longer have to feel that they are the weaker sex. We might not have the same strength that the males do, but we can learn to use the strengths that we have to make ourselves heard and felt throughout the world. It also shows women that they can still be as feminine as they want to be. I have always felt that I can be as feminine as I like. I like having someone open up the doors for me, and doing things for me that make me feel attractive. But, I know that I am capable of doing those things myself, as well.
I read somewhere that you dated Elvis. What era was this in? Was it serious?
TS: Yes, I dated him back in the late fifties and early sixties. He asked me to marry him and I told him no, because we were both working on our careers. And we really didn't have the ability to put up with that and our careers. Sometimes I am sorry that I didn't, because I think that he would be alive today if I had
What are you up to these days? Any upcoming projects?
TS: At the present time I own an engine rebuilding business in Long Beach and I'm trying to make it a success. I have a couple of things in the wings. I am writing my autobiography and I'm talking to some people about making it into a film. Also, I'm helping to write a movie script and I have been asked to work in a couple of films. Plus,I write to all of my fans who write to me *on the Internet.

Quentin Tarantino told Entertainment Weekly that Tura Satana is his all-time would-be favorite actress to work with.

I absolutely love the her transformation and I love her heart!! Love you Miss M.!!
Makeup by Allison Bower
Often as a photographer, it's easy to forget to shoot for yourself or make little projects for yourself that reignite the heart, but it's so important. As a matter of fact, it's vital in order to continue as an artist to find ways to be inspired. I can't tell you how many times I've talked so openly about my ideas and never followed through. Then those ideas sit in a catalog in the back of my brain categorized as Maybe, Someday, and Scratch. Well this time, I finally got of my lazy butt and went for it. And I have to say, I couldn't feel more satisfied with myself.
Remember the fictional character, Ophelia, from William Shakespeare's Hamlet? I've always been inspired by paintings, drawings, and other photographs that were inspired by the same character. The image is generally serene, feminine, and ethereal sometimes dark, even. I wanted to have a small group of work that resembled that kind of beauty and emotion. Well, I shamelessly and proudly used my niece for such occasion. It sort of came to me on a whim. Since she was already in town for a few days, we whipped up the set the night before she had to head back to school.
I have to say, when I look back at these impromptu images, I proudly punch my fist in the air for following through with one of my silly ideas and I want to kiss my niece's facefor being such a beautiful and delightful spirit. Thank you Miss A. for being my muse! I love you!!
They're heeeerrreeeee! I have new album samples for viewing for your pre-consultation. Albums make such a great gift for your loved ones if they want to keep secret pictures of you at their work desk, or they also make a perfect gift for the soldier in your life who's away on duty. I offer 3 album sizes: 5×5, 8×8, and 10×4, which all three come in your choice of Vegan and Leather covers. You can pick out your favorite 20 images you want, and I place the order that day. Albums arrive approximately between 2-3 weeks. So, be sure to book your session so that there is plenty of time to order your album.
My current display is my 8×8 and 5×5 Vegan albums.
If there is one thing I've learned to love, that's falling in love with long, voluptuous, sexy and sometimes, drag queen eyelashes. That courtship began when a dear friend of mine from Artistic Enhancements bound those fantastic things to my eyeballs. Not only does having long lashes look great in photos, but people notice and you get great compliments for looking pretty. And who doesn't love getting compliments for looking pretty? What I love about having eyelash extensions is that it's low maintenance beauty. Sure, you have to keep up with them in that you will have to refill them once or twice a month, which is no different than keeping up with your manicure. What I mean is, you don' have to put on a lot of makeup, or even wear any at all, and it looks like you just rolled yourself right out of bed looking amazing.
I have worked with Tara and Alexis at Artistic Enhancements over the years and they are both skilled and talented ladies when it comes to eyelashes, airbrushing, and other aesthetics. They will be displaying a booth at this year's Women's Expo at the Devos Place this month from the 8th-10th. Be sure to come down and say hi! And be sure to also Like them on Facebook.
I am so excited to be able to offer this Valentine's Day Special to my Emery & Co. Photo clients. If you have been thinking about doing a boudoir photo shoot for your special someone, this is the perfect opportunity!! Book any package for your shoot and receive 5 extra digital files!!
Plus, if you book Package 3, get a complimentary disc of all 50 of your images. That's a $350 value! If you're curious about our pricing check my boudoir packages here. Some packages include professional hair and make up.
If you're ready to book your shoot for Valentines, give me a call ASAP! (Slots fill up quickly!) I would love to chat with you about your Boudoir Experience, answer any questions you may have, and get you on the calendar…so call me today!! 616-893-1576. Ask for Jesamin!

Calum Kerr, MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, has written to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs, Fiona Hyslop, to express his support for the permanent home for the Great Tapestry of Scotland to be sited in Galashiels town centre.
Mr Kerr's decision to publicly back this option comes alongside announcements of support from local groups such as Energise Galashiels Trust, Galashiels Chamber of Trade, Destination Scottish Borders and Healthy High Streets.
The MP outlined his reasons for backing the Galashiels site:
"It's clear that the presence of such a remarkable attraction in the heart of Galashiels could be transformative for the town centre, which is still struggling to recover from long term economic challenges in the retail sector."
"Although the greenfield site at Tweedbank may appear to be the more straight-forward option, I don't think it offers comparable economic benefits. On the other hand, a site in the heart of Galashiels could kick off a new phase of town centre regeneration."
With Scottish Borders Council holding off on their decision on where the tapestry will be sited until the end of September, Mr Kerr has called on the Scottish Government to consider the allocation of greater funds to the project in order to guarantee the Galashiels option, commenting:
"It seems clear to me which option has the most compelling economic and social benefits. So I'm committed to doing everything that I can to secure this outcome and if additional funding is required, all parties involved need to work to secure it."
"I think that Galashiels has the potential to become a model for town centre regeneration in Scotland. The town has seen some very positive developments in recent years, such as the opening of the Borders Railway. We need to do everything we can to ensure that we embrace such a unique opportunity to build on this progress."

The Patent Program helps convert Forest Service research into usable information and technologies that benefit both the American public and industry. Patents are an effective mode of technology transfer, as they make technologies more appealing to the marketplace due to the exclusivity they offer. Technology transfer leads to increased productivity, increased industrial innovation, enhanced U.S. industrial competitiveness, job creation, and improved and lower cost public services.

Organic Aerogels for Oil-Spill Cleanup
USDA Forest Service and UW-Madison researchers have created a super absorbent aerogel made from cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), which are particles found in woody biomass. This super absorbent material is highly porous and extremely lightweight. Its water repelling and oil absorbing properties provide a sustainable and novel method to oil-spill cleanup. This aerogel would be deployed as a sheet at an oil spill, absorbing the oil quickly and efficiently. The sheet is also reusable and absorbed oil can be removed from the aerogel for recycling.
Low Toxicity Method for Inhibiting Mold on Wood
Industrial cooperators and/or licensees are being sought to further develop USDA Forest Service invention that protects wood from mold using an essential oil. Traditional methods of treating mold have utilized chemical fungicides. Due to the toxicity of the chemicals, these treatments are poorly suited for indoor use. Natural, low toxicity means of inhibiting mold growth therefore have strong commercial appeal. This invention describes a method of protecting wood from mold with an essential oil, in this case thyme, which can be applied through a variety of surface treatments. The essential oil may be applied in an undiluted or diluted form, with the dilutant composed of an oil, alcohol, ketone, or mixture thereof.

Temps Like Verano, Tunes Like Primavera - Barcelona, Spain

We didn't pay to get into the whole amusement park, but we did take a spin on the ferris wheel.
Squeezing in an early evening apertif at the base of the mountain...
before a tour of Gaudí'sPark Güell.
And that's a wrap! Thanks for being good to us, Spain.

Jeff Hangartner, the founder of the gaming start-up, Bulletproof Outlaws has been a professional developer of games over the last half a decade. Creator of Pixelation, the 1st Pixel Art Forum and also originator of the Pixel tutorials which have been published in the form of a book. Jeff has always been a pioneer of the gaming industry.
CG Today is proud to present Jeff's exploration as he shares the whole process of creating a start-up right from day 1. With the belief that gaming development is coming back to its original "one programmer in the basement roots" idea, Bulletproof Outlaws is chronicling every step of its start-up process from strategies, to marketing, setting goals and outsourcing, successes and failures. The aim is to help other developers who have ideas but are intimidated by the whole start-up process and are not sure how to go about it.
You can visit his website Bulletproof Outlaws to know more about him or send an email to get connected.
Exclusive Content
A couple sites mentioned that they're interested in exclusive content for my future projects. This is something I didn't think to do, and might not be possible until you have a few Press connections who are actually interested in your stuff. But for the next game I'll probably whip up some exclusive stuff, whether it's behind-the-scenes sneak peaks or contests or what-have-you. The website with the exclusive content gets attention from your stuff, and you get attention for being Featured by them, it's a win-win situation.
Press Release
A Press Release is important for getting word out about what you're doing. Our business coach recommended putting out a Press Release for pretty much ANYTHING. Realistically, there's no downside to it since you can use a bunch of free Press Release services. Check out my blog entry where I was experimenting with different services a while back and the results. Looking back, it's probably better to have too many Press Releases than not enough…at the end of the day, it means your company and game's name will keep crossing people's news feeds and that might make them more likely to pick up and publish your Press Release when you have actual big news, VS a company they've never heard of before. It also hooks you up with some totally random connections…I got a couple interview requests from people who would otherwise have no idea I existed, off my first Press Release.
Writing A Press Release
I write my own Press Releases because there are a ton of "how to write a good Press Release" articles all over the Internet. Hit Google up for some because they go into a lot of detail about what should be in a Press Release, what order things should be in, what to make sure to mention or what to leave out, etc.
Outsourcing A Press Release
You can hire someone else to do your Press Release for you, most marketing agencies offer this, as well as tons of freelancers. Personally, I think it's silly to spend $100+ for someone else to write you a page worth of text about your own product or announcement since you're the one that's going to know the most about what you want to announce. Especially if you're going to put out Press Releases frequently. But if you're not a very good writer, or if English isn't your first language, outsourcing the Press Release might be worth the money.
Submitting A Press Release
A Press Release can take a while to submit to a ton of different sites because each site has a different form and different length requirements or ways to divide up the sections of the Press Release, so if you're doing it yourself expect it to take a good chunk of the day just to submit the thing. And if you hire someone else to write it for you, expect to have to break it apart or re-word chunks of it to fit in the various "100 characters MAX" boxes on some of the sites.
You can hire a service to submit your Press Release for you, which I haven't tried yet but I think I might try next time, just to save myself some hassle and to see what the results are. You can also submit your Press Release to sites that charge a fee for accepting and posting them, but if you're tight for money you really can get a pretty wide spread for your Press Release off just the free sites.
Consider publishing your Leaderboard if you have a game that's heavily community-based or competitive. Rewarding people at the top of the Leaderboard, holding contests, announcing winners on your blog, etc.
Don't spend a lot (or ANY) money on this. If your game hits huge and gets into the Top 10, it might be worth spending some money on it (do your research first!) but if your game isn't super-popular then no one probably cares about merchandise for it. But if you have some downtime and you're feeling artsy-fartsy, consider throwing together some stuff and create a free CafePress store. Put some wallpapers together with in-game art. The guys at The Behemoth make little statues/toys of their characters. Odds are for your first few games no one is really going to care about merchandise, but if it's quick to throw together and free, and creating it doesn't take long, it doesn't hurt to have it available. I threw some Elusive Ninja wallpapers together for fun, but they were quick to do since I just used in-game art and realistically I know probably no one will use them but me haha

Why I Meal Plan
I use to dislike the idea of meal planning. The thought of sitting down and trying to decide what my family and I wanted to eat three days or three weeks out seemed like a giant waste of time, boring and inflexible.
I could not have been more wrong!
Meal planning is the most efficient way to build healthy eating habits and having a plan in place will simplify your grocery shopping, save you and your family time, money and cut food waste in the long run. Planning it all out has actually become an activity I enjoy sitting down and working out, it's also not as rigid as I expected it to be. It's easy to rearrange meals because of unexpected time restraints or we are just not in the mood for what was originally planned. When you know what you have on hand it's a lot easier to come up with an alternative.Check out the adorable meal planner over at Bloomin' Lilies Click To Tweet
Dig In There
The more involved I became in meal planning the more information I found myself collecting. I have had a recipe box for a long time now, but little notes were scattered around and building up. Than I tried to gather it up in a folder and notebook, but it still felt disorganized and I found myself spending to much time searching for that Thanksgiving recipe that everyone loves or what was it that so and so was allergic to.
I Needed a System that Worked for Family Gatherings and the Everyday
So, over the last year I created, tweaked, threw out and recreated several worksheets that make up a meal planner that fulfills my family's needs. I also wanted something lovely to work with since I would be looking at it on a daily basis. Finally, I have a finished product I find extremely useful, time saving, money saving, and not at all boring.
I want all my readers to have the same convenience, thus I am giving away the worksheets (in a downloadable PDF file) to everyone who signs up for our newsletter.

Note to Beginner Meal Planners
If you are a beginner to meal planning please don't let the above worksheets intimidate you. May I suggest starting out working with a few pages, at a time, and work your way into the others. You may find that a few is enough or that you want to elaborate as you go.
I marked the above worksheets with a '*' or '**'.
One *'s will be the easiest to work with and two **'s if you are use to prepping your meals or want something a little more, but not ready yet to be enthusiastically passionate over planning meals.
I encourage beginners and experts alike to print what you will use and discard the rest.

I received this J. Crew email a few days ago and was so excited I think I might have let out a girly little scream. Over a handbag?? Um...yes :-)
To preface, I've never been one to spend much on handbags. I worked at Coach forever-and-day-ago and spent around $150 (with my discount) on a tote. That was the most I had ever spent on a purse until recently. Skincare, makeup...I'll spend...but on a purse? No way. As my Husband says, everyone has their thing!!
Around October my Old Gravy - ahem, I mean Old Navy- pleather purse I had been carrying for a couple of years finally started showing signs of wear and tear. I looked and looked for a replacement, but nothing in my $100-150 price point was catching my eye. Finally, I was shopping with my good friend and her daughter at J. Crew right before Christmas and it was all over. I spied their Brompton Hobo bag, tried it on multiple times and was smitten!! Oh AND it was 30% off for a pre-Christmas sale. Woooot!!
I still wasn't sure if I should buy it because even at 30% off it was over $200. I didn't know if I could bring myself to spend that on a purse, but I also couldn't stop thinking about it. My husband drove me to the mall the next night and I got it! I reasoned that at 36 years old, I've worked hard enough to buy myself a nice handbag :-) Here she is...!!
And boy do I love my Brompton Hobo!!! It's pretty and soft and functional and has a style that's classic with just the right amount of trend. It can store a crapload, but isn't bulky or overpowering. I love having the double handle option or shoulder strap. It has one open compartment which can be semi closed with the turn lock. There is also a smaller zippered compartment, as well as a cell phone and an inside zippered pocket.
Now you know why I am so excited about the mini!!
If you do find yourself in the market for a new handbag anytime soon, check out the Brompton Hobo, $298, and the Brompton mini-Hobo, $258, at J. Crew. Oh c'mon...at least try it on :-)

Team BMC will send its two captains Cadel Evans and Tejay van Garderen to the Critérium International with the intention of delivering last year's winner Evans to the overall victory. Evans and his budding teammate van Garderen will use the two-day race as a rehearsal to the Tour de France.
Team management has previously stated that Evans will lead the squad at this year's Grand Boucle while giving the aspiring youngster van Garderen a free role to achieve his general classification ambitions however, the Critérium International may prove to be one of the more decisive moments in the season where, for the first time in 2013, both Evans and van Garderen line-up together. It is also likely to be the only time they race alongside each other before the start of the Tour on 29 June.
"It's really important for both of us, as it is important to race with everyone whom you ride with at the Tour," said Evans. "I look forward to racing with him and getting to know him a bit better in our steps toward a good performance at the Tour," he added.
Van Garderen has so far out-shone his elder teammate in terms of results this year with the 24-year-old recently finishing Paris-Nice in fourth-overall while Evans was unable to progress from his confidence-building third-place at Tour of Oman and rounded out Tirreno-Adriatico in 22nd.
The two-day race features a seven kilometer time trial in the afternoon of the first day on 23 March which will likely suit Evans better than van Garderen.
"It's short [the time trial], so maybe not perfectly suited for me," said van Garderen. "I haven't seen if it's technical or has climbing but I will get a chance to recon it a few days before we do it."
The final stage finishing on top of the Col de l'Ospedale will be the stage that decides the final general classification. Evans won the race last year over the final day's stage winner Pierrick Fedrigo however, teammate van Garderen may prove to be Evans' greatest challenger for the title this year.
"I think with Tejay and Cadel and a strong team around them, we have a good opportunity to get another win," said team assistant director Yvon Ledanois.
Team BMC for Critérium International: Brent Bookwalter (USA), Cadel Evans (Aus), Mathias Frank (Swi), Sebastian Lander (Den), Amaël Moinard (Fra), Dominik Nerz (Ger) and Tejay van Garderen (USA).

The visionary filmmaker has directed a bunch of fantastic films over the years, and some of them are as perfect as a film can get. If there was a mount Rushmore of directors, Kubrick would without a doubt be on it
The black and white film is probably the most uninteresting film of the director's filmography. It looks nice, like every other film made by Kubrick, but the story and characters are simply not interesting. It's also a very short film, so there's barely any character development.
Rating: C+
Barry Lyndon is an extremely unlikeable character, which makes it hard to latch on and sit through the entire runtime of this movie, which is 3 hours long. The visuals and costumes are breathtaking and the scope is grand, but the story itself is pretty uneventful and drawn out. There's also the narrator who comes out and explains everything to the audience, which is extremely dated and makes us look as if we're too stupid to understand what's actually happening on screen. I've recently watched this film for the first time, and can't imagine wanting to re-watch this film anytime soon.
Rating: C+
A dark comedy set in the cold war, Dr. Strangelove is a weird and strange film that depicts the horrors of war which centers around the nuclear conflict between the U.R.S.S. and U.S. and follows the president of the United States who is trying to stop a nuclear apocalypse from happening. The film is beautifully shot, well acted and overall a pretty decent war film, even if it is far from being Kubrick's best film in my opinion.
Rating: B
Although Stanley Kubrick completely disowns the picture since it went through production hell and he wasn't satisfied with the finish product, Spartacus is one of the director's best films. It has brilliant visuals and grand sweeping landscapes and the battle sequences are brilliantly realized. There are some character motivations that don't make much sense and the beginning is rather long, but overall the film is boosted by Stanley Kubrick's swift direction and Kirk Douglas's stellar performance.
Rating: B+
There is a Spartacus reference in this film, which I found rather strange and amusing since both films were done by the same director. Lolita is a very good film but far from the director's best film. The main character is unlikeable, a bit like Barry Lyndon, but at least I was invested in what was going on and it wasn't too long. The film is beautifully directed and while I don't think the ending makes much sense, it's a movie that I can see myself re-watching.
Rating: B+
One of the best war films ever made, Full Metal Jacket is beautifully shot and wonderfully acted. The first and second act of this film are extremely different, and almost feel like a different movie entirely and having said that, I appreciate the first half better than the second.
Rating: A
One of Kubrick's best, Eyes Wide Shut is a weird film that has dreamlike imagery and incredible visuals. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman give the best performances of their career (they we're married at the time of filming, which made them the perfect on screen couple) and tracking shots of the city are absolutely gorgeous. Plus it has one of the weirdest and most disturbing scenes that I have ever seen in a movie. The atmosphere is so wrong and so bizarre that makes you feel uneasy. I would never watch this movie with my mom I'd tell you that much. Way too awkward. The only problem with Eyes Wide Shut is its length. It's half an hour too long, and you can really feel it in its running time. Other than that, the film is a brilliant psychological thriller. And it's better the second time around. If you hated it the first time you've seen it, take it another go. You might find some things you missed. It's a weird movie, and it won't entertain everyone, but I love it.
Rating: A
One of the most brutal movies that you can ever watch, A Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece. It is without a doubt one of the most violent movies that I have watched, and there are some rough scenes in there I promise you. Malcolm McDowell gives one of the best performances of all time as Alex, who is a young man who likes to listen to Beethoven and also likes to rape women. This is probably the creepiest character who has ever lead a movie and he does some pretty awful things until he gets treated and rehabilitated. Clockwork Orange is a brilliant masterpiece, and is a disturbing, macabre journey through hell and redemption.
Rating: A+
A mind-boggling and brilliant science-fiction film, 2001 A Space Odyssey stills holds up today, almost 50 years later. The scope of this movie is just huge, and absolutely incredible. It looks better than some of the CGI crap that comes out today. The space scenes are gorgeous, the execution perfect and the ending is one of the most beautiful and most confusing things that you'll ever see and oh boy is it worth it.
Rating: A+
This film is a masterpiece. Jack Nicholson gives one of the best performances of all time as Jack Torrance. Shelly Duvall is fantastic as Wendy, who hated working on the film since she and Jack Nicholson didn't get along so well. Danny Lloyd, who was selected for his role since he had the ability to maintain his concentration for long periods of time, gives one of the best child performances ever as Danny (he also never knew that he was in a horror film during filming; Kubrick managed to led him to believe that he was in a drama about a family that lived in a hotel which is incredible). The music, the tracking shots, the landscape, everything makes you feel cold and claustrophobic. This is filmmaking at it's finest, and The Shining is one of my favorite films ever.
Rating: A+
Let me know what are your favorite and least favorite Stanley Kubrick's movies down in the comments below! I think we can all agree that he is one of the best director's of our time.

Marist Unveils North Campus Dining Center
By Brian Edsall
Hundreds of students overflowed Marist College's new North Campus Dining Center during its ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday evening.
"We have a very enthusiastic, potentially unruly crowd here," said President David Yellen, addressing the crowd. "Rossi's may have something to do with the size and enthusiasm."
Yellen stood alongside Executive Vice President Geoffrey Brackett and Giovanni Rossi, founder of Rossi & Son's Rosticceria. The crowd of students cheered emphatically as the ribbon was cut.
The most notable option found in the new dining center is Rossi & Sons Rosticceria, a favorite off-campus option of Marist students which has received outstanding reviews on Buzzfeed, Spoon University, Hudson Valley Magazine, Yelp, and TripAdvisor.
The dining facility also features extensive new options, such as a bakery, pizza, pasta, grill, eggs, smoothies, a salad bar - all of which offer tailor-made options for each individual student.
Sodexo staff prepared free samples from each station, while the Marist's jazz band, the 'Jazz Foxes,' provided music for the evening.
Luigi Sinapi, Catering Director of Sodexo at Marist, stated that the Sodexo staff has also expressed excitement about the new dining center, which features some of the most advanced culinary equipment.
"Tomorrow's equipment is here today," said Sinapi. "It's just amazing."
Colene Doughty, General Manager of Sodexo at Marist College, highlighted that the new dining center is a "state-of-the-art facility" built to be "sustainably conscious," following Marist's commitment to sustainability.
According to Doughty, the lights and the HVAC system "works contingent to the population." A larger presence of people will automatically increase the brightness of the lights and increase air conditioning. The opposite is true when presence decreases.
The facility includes a banquet room which can be used to accommodate large-scale events.
"The College is deeply committed to the economic health of the Hudson Valley," said Brackett to Marist Media Relations. "Having the infrastructure in place to hold events and welcome guests from outside the area plays a key role in the economic engine of the region."
Tables also feature USB ports and outlets, welcoming students to charge devices and complete work as they eat.
Marist hopes this new dining center will assist in reducing overcrowding across Marist dining facilities.
"As Marist grows, the community continues to support its initiatives and developing the future," said Doughty. "There's over 750 students on this side alone, so now they won't have to travel all the way to the other side of campus."
"We may need to expand already," she laughed.
Some students feel that this facility introduces much-needed change to Marist's dining options.
"I don't think the dining hall food has a lot of variety," said sophomore Kelly Engelhardt. "I'm most excited about Rossi's and the smoothies...they don't have smoothies anywhere else on campus."
"The dining hall food is bland to me, there's no other way to describe it," added freshman Maria Serrano. "It's the same thing every day."
Both Engelhardt and Serrano have opted to eat most of their meals off-campus in dissatisfaction with the main dining hall. However, both believe that this new facility may draw them to eat on campus more often.
According to Marist Media Relations, the North Campus project is "part of the largest capital project in the College's history," providing "enhanced community space for students, faculty, and staff to Marist."
Final landscaping is expected to be completed this summer, adding to campus spaces which highlight the views of the Hudson River.

Road trip - NJ documentary photographer
One of my goals this year is to be a bit more adventurous and follow my wanderlust. I've been hesitant to travel because I have two small children, who I love dearly, but who also pose challenges when it comes to things such as eating and sleeping and sitting for long periods of time within arm's reach of each other.
This past weekend I said to my fears and concerns, "To heck with you, fears and concerns! I'm taking the girls on a road trip." We visited my sister and niece, who live about three and a half hours away when driving in no traffic. In no traffic.
It took us five hours to get there. Of course, eating and sleeping were a nightmare, but it all paid off to witness the cousins reunited, and to say to my fears and concerns, "Yes, fears and concerns, you were warranted, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
