Tom Hiddleston Hints at Brutal Loki Fight Scenes in 'Thor: Ragnarok'
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hings are going well for Tom Hiddleston. He's got a new girlfriend, he's in the midst of filming Marvel blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok, and now he's been nominated for an Emmy for his work on The Night Manager.
However, all this action can get exhausting. The actor was awake at 4:00 in the morning Australia time (where he is for the filming of the third Thor installment) to discuss his Emmy nomination with all sorts of Hollywood news sites.
In his interview, Hiddleston dropped a few clues about how the filming of Thor: Ragnarok was going so far. When asked if he had watched the Emmy nominations be revealed, he said, "No I was dozing off because of a long day as Loki. I couldn't stay awake, so I was drifting away to sleep."
It wasn't only his role as the god of mischief that was taxing. Chris Hemsworth also dragged him to see his new film Ghostbusters as well.
"Chris Hemsworth bought a round of tickets for Ghostbusters and a group of us went to see it. I'd just got home and my phone started exploding," he said of how he received the Emmy news.

Deadpool Dethrones Avengers With Triple-Digit Debut
The first film to knock down Marvel Studio's towering juggernaut of Avengers: Infinity War from the #1 slot has arrived. It's no surprise that it would indeed be another superhero movie, but it is surprising by how much it overtook. Deadpool 2, Fox's Marvel property of a fourth-wall breaking anti-hero that satirizes comic book movies, premiered to a huge first weekend of $125 million domestic. Despite being just a few million dollars short of its previous film, it's still an impressive achievement for an R-rated Marvel movie that keeps the momentum going both in comedy and box office. Even more impressive is it's worldwide gross that is currently sitting at a beefy $301 million. Expect it to stick around for such a successful first weekend.
With such a high take from Deadpool, Avengers: Infinity War naturally took a big hit. Dropping by 53%, the blockbuster made only $28.6 million in fourth weekend. It's still standing tall with a domestic total of $595 million, but it's doubtful at this point that it'll reach the same heights as Marvel's earlier 2018 blockbuster of Black Panther. Other debuts this week were not so lucky with such limited takes. The all-female comedy Book Club premiered at #3 for the weekend with a $12.5 million domestic gross. The family comedy Show Dogs placed at #6 with $6 million in its domestic take.
Returning films are weathering the Marvel storm decently with expected drops. A Quiet Place is still hanging in there with the lowest drop of the weekend, bringing in another $4 million to boost its domestic total up to $176 million, still an amazing gross for the $17 million horror movie that could. The giant monster movie Rampage is clinging to the top 10 in its #9 slot, but it's not looking good for such expensive blockbuster still so far away from meeting its budget. And RBG, the documentary on Ruth Bader Ginsberg, remains in the #10 spot from last weekend with its domestic total now up to $3.8 million.
View the full top 10 for the weekend below.
Deadpool 2 ($125,000,000)
Avengers: Infinity War ($28,672,000)
Book Club ($12,500,000)
Life of the Party ($7,725,000)
Breaking In ($6,470,000)
Show Dogs ($6,034,770)
Overboard ($4,725,000)
A Quiet Place ($4,040,000)
Rampage ($1,500,000)
Next weekend will pit Deadpool against another anti-hero in Disney's Solo: A Star Wars Story, the Star Wars side story on Han Solo. It will indeed be interesting to see how a Star Wars movie plays in the summer as the previous three Disney Star Wars productions have all been massive blockbusters in December. For debuting in 4,200 theaters, the pressure is on to see Star Wars topple Marvel.

Another Astounding Weekend at the Box Office for Avengers: Infinity War
Box Office Weekend 5/4/18-5/6/18
Not the least bit surprising, Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War has dominated the weekend box office with another massive gross. In its second weekend, the grandest superhero ensemble to date brought in $112.4 million. This brings its domestic total up to $450 million, and its worldwide take well over $1 billion. Time will tell if it has the legs, however, to hold its own against Marvel's other superhero epic this year, Black Panther. Considering Black Panther is still in the top 10, and has almost passed $700 million domestic, it'll be a close race between the two Marvel movies.
Of course, the success of the Avengers is due in no small part to this being a rather sparse weekend of premieres appearing in fewer theaters. Braving the Marvel storm to come in at #2 was the romantic comedy remake, Overboard, starring Eugenio Derbez and Anna Faris, making $14.7 million domestic. And if that's the gross of the #2 spot, you can imagine how lower the other films are. Tully, a new comedy Jason Reitman and starring Charlize Theron, came in at #6 with a domestic gross of $3.1 million. Further down at #10 is the new David Tennant starring thriller, Bad Samaritan, making $1.7 million for the weekend.
There were expected dips all around with no huge surprises, but many of the successful films that have hung around are growing a considerable gross. John Krasinski's A Quiet Place had the lowest drop and is currently sitting at a robust $159 million domestic total. Ryan Coogler's Black Panther has already blazed many records, but it's only $7 million away from clearing $700 million domestic.
See the full top 10 box office results below.
- Avengers: Infinity War ($112,474,000)
- Overboard ($14,750,000)
- A Quiet Place ($7,600,000)
- I Feel Pretty ($4,900,000)
- Rampage ($4,620,000)
- Tully ($3,186,000)
- Black Panther ($3,146,000)
- Truth or Dare ($1,885,000)
- Super Troopers 2 ($1,815,000)
- Bad Samaritan ($1,758,000)
Next weekend, Avengers will be battling against the Melissa McCarthy starring comedy Life of the Party and the Gabrielle Union starring thriller Breaking In. Considering that Life of the Party will have the most significant theater count, McCarthy has the only real shot at being the first film to knock the superhero giant down from the top 10, though it's doubtful of the Avengers hype will have died down by then.
Review: "Deadpool 2" is Reheated Chimichangas That Mostly Hold Up
Deadpool is third-wall breaking anti-hero that feels more needed than ever in the current crop of amassing superhero films. His self-aware satire made his 2016 film a hoot with commentary on the messy timelines, the lack of casting, and even mocking Ryan Reynolds himself. And while his sequel film does maintain that fast-paced and joking nature that made the character a breath of fresh air, it's mostly the same brand we've come to expect from the merc with the mouth.
All the familiar scenes are present, even with the same bits of dialogue repeated from the previous film. There's an opening fight where Wade "Deadpool" Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) narrates how this isn't a superhero movie for the kids. There's an extended bit where he trots around the X-Men headquarters where there are little to no mutants present. Hugh Jackman isn't present in the film, but he always seems to find his way into the script in one form or another. Deadpool even rides up to the finale in a taxi and mentions chimichangas once again. While these segments still garner a laugh, there's a lingering notion with each smirk that this superhero is running out of originality.
One of my biggest complaints about the previous film was that there needed to be more actors for Deadpool to play off so that his fourth-wall narration doesn't overwhelm the screen. The sequel features the opposite, amassing too many characters for Wade to rib that they struggle to work their way into the script. Cable (Josh Brolin) is a soldier of the future that travels back in time to kill a mutant kid and becomes bitterly frustrated with Deadpool being an obstacle. This would've been enough for a buddy picture, but the film keeps stuffing in heroes. Deadpool takes a liking to Cable's target of the overweight teenage mutant Firefist (Julian Dennison), but the kid is so cocky and stand-offish that their chemistry doesn't have much time to develop. Not when Deadpool must also ally himself with Domino (Zazie Beetz), a hero whose superpower is plot armor. And while Colossus and Nega return from the previous film, their roles are so standard that they naturally become lost in the shuffle.
There's a tightrope of typical superhero staging and self-aware silliness that Deadpool walks once more, and there's a larger wobble this time around. There's a bitter pathos to push Deadpool forward in his plight, but it comes with knowledgable spite for last year's Logan pulling the same strings, of which Deadpool curses outright. A change of pace for the character is his desire to embrace the X-Men philosophy of no killing, but Wade still plays fast and loose with this logic, counterintuitive of his journey to better carve out a family.
And, wow, does the diversity angle feel so much like bullet-point lip-service, where the black Domino has no flaws, and the lesbian Nega has no character. It'd be nice to have a film where Deadpool coordinates a diverse collective, but everything is so tightly packed with little room to breathe that the inclusivity feels more like a quota, trying to appease everyone without exploring any one angle deeply. Let me know more about Domino's tragic past without wedging it in at the last minute. Give Nega some better lines considering that her girlfriend, whose only interactions are saying hi to Deadpool, has more dialogue than she does. You wouldn't even know Firefist has a problem with the perceptions of his weight if he hadn't brought it up in conversation.
Yes, Deadpool 2 is still funny, especially with one of the most hilarious mid-credit sequences in recent memory. But most of the laughs are familiar ones, reiterating previous jokes and not landing as many original ones past the update of commenting on the current state of superhero cinema. It's a bit sad that a film this satirical of the genre doesn't realize it's coming down with a severe case of sequel-itis, throwing far too many characters at the screen and hardly balancing any of them. There is levity and life in Deadpool, but it needs to start going that extra mile of absurdity in its awareness if it doesn't want to become one of the lesser superhero franchises it loves to mock so much.

The CMT Music Awards in Nashville are bypassing celebrity gift bags in favor of bags that will tote food for hungry children. Given the state of the economy, handing out expensive gifts to well-off celebrities and artists seemed out of touch, CMT executives said. Instead, the show, which will air June 16, will donate $20,000 to the local affiliate of Feeding America, a CMT One Country partner. CMT One Country is CMT's pro-social initiative launched in 2005.
"The backstage swag bonanza seemed outdated, given the current [economic] situation," said Anthony Barton, VP-integrated marketing for CMT. "Watching someone who is a millionaire artist get another watch didn't seem to work."
With the donation, meals will be provided to 130 children during the 2009-2010 school year through the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee BackPack Program.
Sears, Roebuck & Co., a new sponsor of the CMT Music Awards, will provide Lands' End backpacks for the program. The backpacks are used to distribute food to children who rely on free or reduced-price school lunches when they are away from school on weekends or during school vacations.
"It's a dignified way of getting food into someone's hands," Mr. Barton said. "We're helping a population of kids that need it."
The Lands' End backpacks will also have a significant presence throughout the awards show. They will be featured on-site and backstage, where artists will be asked to autograph the backpacks for a CMT One Country auction. Funds from the auction will be funneled back into the program. The Carter Twins, an up-and-coming country-music act, will also walk the red carpet with the backpacks and explain the program during the preshow broadcast.
"There are a lot of opportunities to tie clients to deeper partnerships. Sears was no different," Mr. Barton said. "This is an organic way of featuring a new client but tapping into the sentiment of helping the community."

Travis County, Texas, has one of the highest deportation rates in the U.S. thanks to the local sheriff's voluntary cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. An average of 19 immigrants a week are deported here. Stopping the deportation dragnet in Travis County would mean stopping the potential detention and deportation of thousands of Austin-area residents. Grassroots Leadership, in coalition with other groups in the Austin-area, is making that happen by engaging in direct action, community education, and dialogue with local elected officials.

Immigration advocates torn between Travis Co. sheriff, Trump wins
In the aftermath of local and federal elections Tuesday, area immigration advocates are expressing their concern about the future of the issue in Travis County.
"As the night went forward, we realized this sort of sickening feeling, of like, 'Oh no, I think that Donald Trump is going to win this,'" explained Alejandro Caceres, an Immigration Organizer for Grassroots Leadership in Austin. "There's a sudden fear of what happens to me tomorrow."
Among his fears, Caceres says President-elect Donald Trump's goals for his first day working in the Oval Office are concerning. According to NBC, Trump said he would:
- Cancel funding to "sanctuary cities"
- Remove illegal immigrants and cancel visas to countries that refuse to take them back, and
- Suspend immigration from "terror-prone" regions of the world.
"The president is coming after us," said Caceres. "There's people in the United States who actually feel targeted by the president of the United States… for either deportation, for stripping you of your rights, it is very terrifying."
Caceres said members of immigrant community groups are fearful of a return to the past. "We've gained so many victories in the eight years that Obama has been here, and now we're in threat of going back. Now we're in threat of having a program like Secure Communities over again."
Caceres said the relief he felt after learning Democrat Sally Hernandez had won the election for Travis County Sheriff was only short-lived, clouded by Trump's success in the race for the White House.
"We do have a local victory and we can push for something that would be really, really great in the state of Texas and the city of Austin, but at the same time, now we have a president who is one hundred times worse than Greg Hamilton," he said.
Regardless, Caceres said advocates must continue to fight for what they believe is justice. "We can mourn today, but tomorrow, we have to continue to organize because we don't want to go back to where we were four, eight years ago."Read more about Immigration advocates torn between Travis Co. sheriff, Trump wins
Travis County sheriff's race likely to bring immigration policy shift
With Democratic Constable Sally Hernandez assured of victory in the race for Travis County sheriff Tuesday night, the liberal enclave in the center of Texas could be in the crosshairs of state lawmakers who want to ban so-called "sanctuary city" policies.
Alejandro Caceres, immigration organizer for Grassroots Leadership, a criminal justice reform group, said he welcomed working with a new sheriff. The current one, Democrat Greg Hamilton, riled activists and fellow elected officials with his unapologetic embrace of cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
"We know that now we have a sheriff that is wiling to negotiate with us, unlike Sheriff Hamilton who has been a massive defender of this policy," Caceres said. "We are more than happy and willing to sit down and talk with her." Read more about Travis County sheriff's race likely to bring immigration policy shift
Travis County elects Hernandez as new sheriff
Voters elected Sally Hernandez for Travis County Sheriff in a landslide victory to succeed the 12-year incumbent Greg Hamilton.
As sheriff, Hernandez said she plans to address the Priority Enforcement Program, a program implemented by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to monitor Travis County jail inmates who may be in the U.S. illegally.
"As Sheriff, I will be committed to treating everyone equally and fairly," Hernandez said in an email. "I think that today's vote shows that this community wants an ICE policy that is progressive and keeps families together. It makes our community safer."
Alejandro Caceres, Grassroots Leadership immigration organizer, said they will have a greater chance of reforming the immigration enforcement policies with Hernandez in office.
"For the first time in recent memory we believe that we can sit down and talk to our sheriff about a new policy for Travis County," Caceres said in a press release. "We are not only celebrating Hamilton's departure but also the departure of his policies that have torn the immigrant community apart for years."

Mother and son win appeal against deportation order after taking sanctuary in a Texas church for eight months.
In the back of the sanctuary sat Hilda Ramirez, a 28-year-old Guatemalan who fled her native country in 2014 with the hope of finding security for her son, Ivan.
At a time when immigration and mass deportations of undocumented people has become a central issue in the US presidential elections, Hilda and her son are a rare example of a successful appeal against a deportation order.
There are at least four people who have been granted sanctuary in four churches in the US, according to the Austin-based Grassroots Leadership immigrant rights advocacy group.

Read more about Travis County Jail at election-year crossroads on immigration policy
The era of full cooperation with federal immigration authorities at the Travis County Jail is poised to come to an end in January with the likely election of Constable Sally Hernandez, the Democratic candidate for sheriff who has said she won't honor all requests to turn over undocumented immigrants.
"This is years in the making," said Bob Libal, executive director of the criminal justice reform group Grassroots Leadership. "If whoever the sheriff is adopts a policy like many of these other communities around the country that limits ICE's ability, that is a good thing for immigrants, and it is a good thing for public safety."
Lower-level crimes that result in detainers continue to worry immigrant advocates. Libal said ICE programs can still break up families and exacerbate the challenges immigrant families already face.
"It breeds distrust and makes them reluctant to report crimes," he said. "If someone serves their time and is rehabilitated, why deport them?"
Guatemala Mom, Son Win Surprise Victory for Sanctuary Movement
A Guatemalan mom and son who have been living in Sanctuary in Austin have finally received a form of deportation relief for the next year. Hilda Ramirez and her son Ivan had been living in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church for the past 8 months under threat of deportation back to Guatemala. Hilda and her son came to the U.S. in August of 2014 seeking asylum, and spent the next 11 months in the for-profit Karnes Family Residential Facility. Hilda and Ivan were then released from Karnes due to a separate Special Immigrant Juvenile status that Ivan applied for, and because a federal judge had recently ruled against prolonged family detention.
Read more about Guatemala Mom, Son Win Surprise Victory for Sanctuary Movement
The two were living at an Austin-area shelter in January when the Obama administration announced a new set of removal priorities that targeted adults who entered the United States with children after May 2014. Despite Ivan's ongoing application, an order of deportation remained active for both of them.
That's when Ramirez connected with organizers at Austin's Grassroots Leadership and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, where she and Ivan took sanctuary, invoking a long-standing practice in which places of worship house and advocate for immigrants, taking advantage of ICE's policy of avoiding "sensitive locations."
Eight months later, ICE informed the family's lawyer that they would receive relief from deportation in the form of deferred action, which protects them for one year before they must renew the status.
"This is an important step," said Grassroots' immigration organizer Alejandro Caceres, "but we need to see more faith communities like St. Andrew's standing up and saying to ICE: 'You'll have to get through us first.'"
Advocates, explained Caceres, had been demanding a stay of removal, a form of relief designed for immigrants who have exhausted all of their legal options and which ICE has granted to other immigrants in sanctuary. Instead, ICE granted deferred action, which is normally given to those who never went through deportation proceedings. A key difference is that Ramirez and her son will not have to attend regular ICE check-ins.
"I can only think it was the community pressure," Caceres told the Observer, "and they just wanted to make us leave them alone." It remains uncertain whether ICE will grant the same relief in similar cases going forward. Caceres added that the Austin movement will continue to push for permanent cancellation of removal in the case.

Trump's immigration plan would add another unnecessary mandatory minimum
On Sunday, presidential candidate Donald Trump announced his plan for his first 100 days in office, which includes new mandatory minimum sentences for those who have crossed the border without documentation. These prosecutions already make up nearly half of all federal prosections annually.
The plan would create a "2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations."
Read more about Trump's immigration plan would add another unnecessary mandatory minimum
Currently, illegal re-entry is punishable by up to two years in prison, although a prior criminal record can add more years to a sentence. Last year, Republicans in Congress introduced a bill called "Kate's Law," named after Kate Steinle, who was shot and killed by a man with several violent felonies and illegal re-entries into the country. That bill would have also strengthened sentences for illegal re-entry, but advocacy groups that oppose mandatory minimums say Trump's proposal would go even further.
Illegal entry and re-entry is already one of the most prosecuted crimes in the U.S. and sucks up an enormous amount of federal resources. According to a report by Grassroots Leadership earlier this year, prosecutions of illegal entry and re-entry into the country already makes up 49 percent of the federal caseload every year. Foreign nationals make up 22 percent of the federal Bureau of Prisons system, which was operating at 20 percent over its maximum capacity as of 2015. The current average sentence for illegal re-entry is 18 months, according to the report.
What it [mandatory minimums] can make a statistically significant impact on is the Justice Department budget. The prosecution and incarceration of illegal entry and re-entry offenders under Operation Streamline has cost $7 billion since 2005, according to the Grassroots Leadership report.

Story location: http://archive.pressthink.org/2004/11/06/ntc_cont.html
PressThink is thinking of expanding the masthead and taking on a contributor— one person to help me do this blog. Contributions once or twice a week, more when I am traveling or otherwise unable to write. I need someone familiar with the blog, able to diagnose and write vividly about press behavior, press thinking, press pyschology, as well as the tensions between mainstream journalism and the Web. Also someone able to research the Web, pile up the links, perhaps solicit guest writers, monitor comments, and generally add to the life of the site as it gains traffic and draws attention.
Odds are the right person is a journalist or former journalist, or has a background in media studies. But who knows? It could be someone young. Or retired. It would help broaden PressThink's sensibility to have someone female. It could be an inspired amateur with no background at all who's smart and informed and great with the Web. And it could be that my search turns up no one quite right, so I drop the idea.
The exact nature of the contributor's contributions will depend, of course, on the contributor's strengths and interests; but for one model see Terry Teachout's About Last Night, elegantly written and designed. It features a regular guest commentator, Our Girl in Chicago.
This is not a job. I can't pay (well, maybe a small amount that would be symbolic only). But I can get the right person many thousands of readers—including working journalists—some blog visibility, your name in Google, a chance to have voice in debates about the future of the press, and to plunge into Web publishing, build a brand. You would need about 10-15 free hours a week to do this well.
Also, I am looking also for a donor—foundation or individual—who might be persuaded to make a (tax-deductible) gift to NYU for purposes of sustaining and improving PressThink. The most immediate need is to pay a second contributor; beyond that I have other ideas for an expanded service that take investment. I also need a re-design.
Finally, I renew my call to professional journalists who have something to say to their colleagues in the mainstream press about the predicament of the press in the wake of the 2004 election, and in light of bigger developments all around us.
I would like to continue the examination of old think in the press, begun by ex-New York Timesman Doug McGill (The Fading Mystique of an Objective Press) and Sacramento Bee columnist Daniel Weintraub (No Longer Do the Newsies Decide.) Background to those pieces was my post: Too Much Reality.
If you have an interest in any of these three items—second author, donor, gues writer—just e-mail me and we'll take it from there. Thanks.

My battery will not stay charged, even though there is nothing wrong with the battery. In addition, antifreeze is leaking out onto the ground.
Hello. The battery is basically a storage device that requires constant charging from the alternator. I would have your alternator tested. If the alternator is not the problem, I would check for a parasitic draw. This happens when something in the vehicle stays powered on and drains down the battery. A certified technician can inspect the battery drainage and replace as necessary. As for your coolant leak, there are dozens of places it could originate. Performing a cooling system pressure test will pinpoint the leak. A trained professional, such as one from YourMechanic, can inspect the coolant leak to know exactly where the leak has originated.

I have a love-hate relationship with the word happiness.
On one hand, I love the idea of pursuing happiness. I want people to be mindful of choosing happiness. I want happiness to matter, to be something that people value and even prioritize in their life.
On the other hand, the word itself gets in the way of our ability to experience it, because it means too many things and not enough at once.
In The Happiness Myth, author Jennifer Michael Hecht defines three types of happiness:
- a moment of happiness
- a good day,
- and a happy life.
The problem is that our pursuit of these different kinds of happiness can be in conflict with one another. For example, focusing all of our efforts on achieving some huge goal we assume will give us a happy life might interfere with our ability to have happy moments. Or, we could choose to only chase after immediate happiness at the expense of long-term health and wellness (think: ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
When I say that I am in pursuit of happiness, I don't mean that I am trying to be happy all the time.
Being happy all the time is not normal or even healthy, and it will not lead to a happy life. A happy life encompasses the broad spectrum of human emotion, including grief, sorrow, fear, and anger.
You cannot have a happy life if you are happy all the time.
It's inauthentic. It's not wholehearted. If you are happy all the time, you are shoving down important stuff that is – or soon will be – oozing out into your life in places where you don't want stuff oozing.
But, a happy life is made up of happy moments.
Short-term happiness, while not the only necessary ingredient, does contribute to long-term happiness.
The more we seek out and choose happy moments, the happier our whole life will be. And if we don't seek them out, if we don't pay attention to them when they show up, we can wake up at the end of a long pursuit and wonder how in the hell we missed all the good that has passed.
Maybe the word happiness is not big enough to cover a good life.
I probably should have thought of that when I named my blog and my book.
But there's also something special about the simplicity of the word. When you ask people what they want, their immediate response is "to be happy." It's also what they want for their loved ones, especially their children.
"I just want you to be happy."
Perhaps what we're really saying, what I'm really pursuing, is the opportunity to be as happy as possible, the strength to weather the inevitable unhappiness, and the wisdom to embrace them both.
I want you to be happy.
And I want you to be brave enough to feel sad, mad, and bad sometimes.
Because in the end, being happy means being all of those things, too.
What do you think? Are you chasing happy moments or building a happy life?

Ontario SPCA seeking information from the public after cat found in dumpster
IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Ottawa, ON (March 24, 2017) – The Ontario SPCA is seeking information from the public after a cat was found inside a carrier at the bottom of a dumpster in Ottawa's West end.
A passerby heard a cat meowing around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 near an apartment building on Carling Avenue, between Grenon Avenue and Moore Avenue. A female long-haired tabby was found underneath a pile of boxes in the dumpster. The cat was inside a medium-sized plastic dog carrier with a brown bottom and cream-coloured top. She was wearing a frayed red fabric collar with four small bells.
An examination of the cat, estimated to be about 15 years old, revealed she suffered from diabetes and was underweight, dehydrated and experiencing stiffness in her front legs.
If you have any information that could assist in this investigation, please call 310-SPCA (7722) immediately.
"There is no excuse for failing to care for your animals," says Jennifer Bluhm, Deputy Chief Inspector, Ontario SPCA. "If you find yourself in a position where you can no longer care for your animals, contact your local Ontario SPCA animal centre or humane society to discuss your options."
Melissa Kosowan

It's Time For A Change It's Time! by Captain IRONMAN @
30 Apr 2017
No I haven't slipped into a 70's style political campaign, I'm talking about Getting Dirty! That's right, forget the politics and add some spice to your life!
Now I know that could also be a bit misleading but don't worry I'm talking about grabbing a pair of trail shoes and finding some mud on one of the many trails around Melbourne and then even finding a trail race. The Dandenongs is loaded with Fire Trail and Single Trail. You can find a starters map when google searching Dandenong Ranges National Park + map Lysterfield Lake Park is also packed with Fire Trails and Single Trails and a starter map can be found when google searching Lysterfield Lake Park + map.
Last winter we had a few guided tours of Dandy tracks and that might be a goer again if the interest is there.
When it comes to racing, last winter a number of Dirty Nunas entered the trail series run by Rapid Assent which is now known as "The Trail Running Series presented by North Face". This is a great series and this year it's been spiced up with some new venues. Rapid Assent run a great race so I have no hesitation in recommending these races. The Anglesea race is run in conjunction with the Surf Coast Century 50k & 100k races on the Saturday which a number of Dirty Nunas did last year and this makes for a great weekend away!
Here's the link:
2017 Race dates are:
- Race 1: Sunday 18 June – Westerfolds Park - 5km / 11km / 15km
- Race 2: Sunday 9 July – Smiths Gully - 7km / 13km / 18km
- Race 3: Sunday 6 August – Silvan, Dandenong Ranges – 7km / 15km / 21km
- Race 4: Sunday 10 September – Anglesea – 8km / 15km / 23km
- Race 5 - night race: Friday 6th October – Studley Park – 5km / 11km / 15km
There are also lots of other races about so google away or post away on the Nuna site to see what others are up to. Ajax and I will be venturing out to Forest on the Queen's birthday weekend on 11 June for Run Forest (Run).
Here's the link:
Race options are 5k, 10k & 21k so no excuses!
Another alternative is firing up the Mountain Bike or even having a crack at CX Racing and Gravel Racing. Again, Lysterfield Lake Park is a great venue for getting the MTB or CX/Gravel Bike out on single or fire Trail.
A bike map can be found easily when google searching Lysterfield Lake mountain bike +map
The Yarra River area is also loaded with tracks so just ask around f you want to have a crack. Club sponsor Top Gear is a great starting point for information and bikes, just ask Pete!
Personally, I'm going to have a crack at CX racing which looks a lot of fun, basically a road bike on steroids! And the gravel scene is growing fast for all day tours on dirt & gravel. I'll be doing this
So Nunas, watch out for posts on the Nuna Facebook page and let's get out there, get dirty and have some fun!

I know this site well.
This summer I will be presenting a paper on the history of creationist
hermeneutics, at a conference at Redeemer College (Ancaster, Ontario). I
won't really try to give a full history, but I will make historical
comments, and I plan to discuss geocentrism at least a little. The
controversy within creationism, between geocentrists and heliocentrists, has
much to say about creationist hermeneutics. According to Gerardus Buow, for
example, it isn't evolution that is the ultimate scientific lie, it is
Copernicanism. Doubt the literal sense of biblical texts on the earth/sun
relationship, and you might as well doubt that Christ was raised bodily from
the grave.
Absolutely identical reasoning, in my view, to the claim of Ken Ham and
others that if you doubt the literal sense of the creation days, you might
as well doubt the Ten Commandments--not to mention the authenticity of the

Step 3: Be with a broker (who won't leave you broke)
Step 4: Do your homework

Have a thought of klse market capitalization and understanding:
Market Capitalization is total market value of a company's equity. It is one of many ways to evaluate a company and be calculated by multiplying the price of the stock by the number of shares issued.
If firm/organization has one type of equity stocks than its market capitalization or ratio will be the current share market price multiplied by the number of shares. – Stocks Signals
However, if a company has multiple types of investment then the market ratio will be the total of the market caps of the different types of shares.
Some tips on picking Malaysian stocks before investing:
There are 922 stocks listed on Bursa Malaysia, spanning across 10 major sectors. Which of these 922 stocks are the ones that grow in value?
This is because, too often, we find that share price is still the focus point when investing in shares. For price-focused investors, growth stocks could be perceived to be stocks that experience growth in share prices.

Not to be confused with the Disney animated feature, The Adventures of Pinocchio tells the familiar tale by Carlo Collodi about a puppet who wants to become a real boy. In this version, re-edited from a 1972 Japanese TV series, the lonely toymaker Geppetto carves Pinocchio out of a single oak branch. After a fairy brings the puppet to life, Pinocchio goes on a lively adventure and learns hard lessons. The innocent puppet encounters several shifty characters and even gets moral guidance from a strangely familiar creature that is actually called Timothy the Cricket.

Dr Stephen Ward, a London osteopath and friend of Christine Keeler, was arrested in Watford and taken to Marylebone Lane police station.
The arrest comes three days after the resignation of the Secretary of State for War, John Profumo.
He admitted he had lied to parliament after MPs accused him of having a relationship with Miss Keeler, a 21-year-old call girl.
MPs also allege that Miss Keeler had relations with a Russian naval attache and that the affair posed a risk to national security.
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan described the resignation as a "great tragedy".
'Extremely cheerful'
Dr Ward has not been allowed bail but his literary agent, Pelham Pound, said he was "confident" he would be freed after his court appearance scheduled for Monday 13 June.
Mr Pound visited Dr Ward at the police station and described him as "extremely cheerful". He had earlier collected some of Dr Ward's belongings from his Bryanston Mews home in Marylebone.
Last night detectives searched his former flat at Wimpole Mews and took away some items in a brown paper parcel.
Dr Ward has been charged with living on the "earnings of prostitution" at 17 Wimpole Mews since 1 January 1961.
The son of the late Canon Arthur Evelyn Ward, Canon of Rochester Cathedral, Dr Ward has treated such illustrious names as Sir Winston Churchill, Paul Getty, Douglas Fairbanks and Elizabeth Taylor.
He is also an artist and has had members of the Royal Family and politicians sit for him.
In Context
The Profumo affair was the biggest political sleaze story of the decade and threatened to topple the Conservative government under Harold Macmillan.
It also scandalised the nation, especially after sordid details of Dr Stephen Ward's lifestyle and his relationship with Christine Keeler and her friend Mandy Rice-Davies came out at his trial.
Keeler, who lived with Ward at his Wimpole Mews flat, said he had introduced her to Lord Astor at his Cliveden stately home where she first met John Profumo.
On the last day of the trial on 31 July 1963, Ward took an overdose of sleeping tablets. He was found guilty while in a coma and died three days later.
Less than two months after his death, an official report produced by Lord Denning, Master of the Rolls, concluded Profumo's affair with Keeler had not endangered national security.
Shortly after this, the prime minister resigned, his ill health exacerbated by the scandal. He was replaced with Earl Home, who renounced his peerage to become Sir Alec Douglas-Home in order to take up office.

The alligator was taken in the everglades near Miami Florida.
I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota and always loved being outdoors. Nature�s beauty has always amazed me. I moved to Naples in 1985 and started taking pictures. I began to explore the Everglades years later and the beautiful scenery all around Naples spoke to me. I realized that I had tremendous passion for preserving my visions through photography. After owning my own business for several years, I decided to change my career and pursue my dream which is photography. With my wife and two daughters supporting this decision, I decided to take a leap of faith and pursue it. Most of my photography comes from the Florida Everglades. I enjoy taking the day and exploring the vast swamp land hunting for that perfect shot. The connection...

Children's Bible Fellowship of New York Children's Bible Fellowship of New York
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Here at Children's Bible Fellowship we believe that effective ministry is done by fulfilling the Great Commission, which is to go out and make disciples. Our goal is to disciple those we come in contact with through our various programs as they grow in their knowledge of Christ, because we believe they are valuable in God's eyes. We have designed our programs to provide solid biblical teaching that under-girds our year-round ministry.
Camp Joy, established in the 1940's for the inner city children of New York City, was the initial camp program. Camp Joy's purpose is to introduce children and their families from the New York metropolitan area into a growing relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ by providing camping and discipleship ministries and encouraging involvement in a local church.
CBF grew in 1952 to include Camp Hope for those with physical or developmental disabilities. Camp Hope's purpose is to minister to NYC metropolitan area's children and adults with disabilities and their families: evangelizing and discipling through summer camp and year round follow up and encouraging involvement in the local church. Relationships with God and with friends are the heart of the program.
CBF also has developed year round urban ministries to follow up with children, young people and adults who have attended summer camp programs. Staff missionaries conduct evangelism door to door and on the street corners. Discipleship is done through visiting the homes of the campers regularly and conducting Bible studies. Weekend retreats are held throughout the year.

Reading Joel Moskowitz's recent piece on building flatpack furniture reminded me of my first encounter with plywood furniture that could be built with a minimal number of tools. I had been given a book called How to Make Furniture without Tools, which contained designs for simple but functional tables, chairs, cabinets, and beds.
Published in 1975, it was written by Clement Meadmore, a famed Australian metal sculptor who was greatly interested in modern furniture. The book stood out for a couple of reasons, the furniture could be assembled without tools and each design utilized 100% of a sheet of plywood.
The only waste was the sawdust generated while cutting the pieces—which would be done at the lumberyard on a vertical panel saw. This was before the era of the big box store, when the neighborhood lumber yard would cut plywood and sheet goods for a nominal charge.
I was a novice woodworker and did not know much about building furniture, but could tell Meadmore knew even less. And that was fine, because I was more interested in learning the dimensions and proportions that worked for furniture than I was in using Meadmore's methods of construction. He said to assemble the pieces with butt joints and carpenter's glue, and to weight the joints in lieu of clamping.
Carpenter's glue is great stuff, but not for a butt joint, which in the absence of fasteners or joinery (dado, mortise, biscuit, etc.) is terribly weak. Meadmore probably knew better but it would have spoiled the title of his book to call it How to Build Furniture with a Hammer. When I built his designs I nailed and glued or screwed the joints. If I were to build it today I'd probably use biscuits and/or pocket screws—or with interlocking thru joints if I had access to a CNC machine.
I thought of this furniture as disposable, using it for however long I needed it and then taking it apart and reusing the plywood. Over a period of years I built platform beds, chairs, and tables based on Meadmore's designs—doing my own cutting and altering dimensions and details to suit my needs.
I built several versions of the arm chair on the cover of the book, which with its low seat, sloped back, and wide arms reminded me of the Adirondack Chair patented in 1905. My favorite modification was to widen and brace one or both arms so they functioned as built-in side tables.
It wasn't until years later, during a trip to NYC, that I discovered the source of Meadmore's design. I was at the Museum of Modern Art's permanent furniture collection when I saw a colorful chair with the shape and proportions of the one I had built so many of. It was Gerrit Rietveld's iconic "Red-Blue" chair. Designed and built in 1918, the original was made from unstained beech. Rietveld later produced versions that were painted or stained black or white. It was not until 1923, when inspired by the work of fellow Dutchman Piet Mondrian, that he painted it red, blue, yellow, and black.
The chair was intended to be mass produced but was never produced in anything more than small batches. I have no idea how many such chairs were made at the time, but the design continues to be produced to this day. Google "Rietveld Red-Blue Chair" and you'll find all manner of originals, reproductions, kits, and construction plans for sale.
And that leaves out all the designs inspired by the original—like ones made from Lucite or ones where some of the pieces are turned on a lathe. Design Within Reach sells a miniature display version of $290, which strikes me as funny because for that amount you could buy the material to build a dozen Meadmore chairs.
I've never sat in a Red-Blue Chair but can tell by looking that the flat unpadded seat would be uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. Meadmore's version included a pathetically thin seat pad. I put an old couch cushion in mine.
Friends use to scoff at the looks of my chair, until they sat in it and found out how comfortable it was (with a padded seat).It has been years since I recycled the plywood from my last Meadmore Chair but I remember the design fondly, as it got me started at building furniture and unwittingly gave me a connection to Gerrit Rietveld.
Havind build a red and blue chair, I can tell you it is relativily comfortable, were it not that the dimensions are optimal for the shorter length of people back then. I used to sit for hours in the thing, without any padding. And dont forget, Rietveld used to say "sitting is a verb", meaning he never intended the chair (or any of his other furniture) to be very comfortable.
I routinely get asked about what books I recommend for people trying to learn this or that. So I thought I would make a short list of the more important titles I stock in my store. This list is about what I recommend for the first book I would
Throughout life, we are constantly asked to think about the future, yet we're given very few methods, models or tools for doing so in constructive ways. According to Jim Dator, Director of the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies, our visions for the future are often colonized by mainstream imagery.
Whether you are in school or not, do you realize how easy it is, today, to get information that previously took people decades to amass? There are a lot of good books on woodworking out there, some old, some new. After the success of The Joiner and Cabinet Maker, which
Thomas Thwaites first major project, The Toaster Project, was a huge success which resulted in worldwide media coverage, a popular TED talk, and an appearance on The Colbert Report. His most recent project, GoatMan, experiments with taking a holiday from being human, and his recently-released book chronicles the experience.

Estonian Public Broadcasting is writing on 7.10.2013;
The head of Skype Estonia, Tiit Paananen, says many Estonian businesses should switch to English or Russian as working languages to bump up their competitiveness.
"I think there is a number of businesses with international ambitions, which could easily make it their priority to switch to English in management systems and documentation," Paananen told Postimees.
"Even if they don't have international ambitions, they need to adopt English in order to bring in talents - marketing people or sales managers," Paananen said.
"Or Russian. It's a possibility in Estonia because St. Petersburg is so close," he added.
Paananen is currently a management member of the Estonian ITC association and is the head of the IT Academy program's management committee

FCC Takes Transformer Pad Infinity For A Spin
All the way back in January, Asus displayed a souped-up version of its already premium Transformer Prime tablet, dubbed the Prime Infinity, at its booth during the CES show. This device offered up an impressive 1920x1200-pixel resolution on its 10" screen, up from the 1280x800 in the vanilla Prime. Though this show of strength left many people drooling, there haven't been any updates on the device since then.
Well, good news, folks. Engadget has reported that the FCC took the WiFi version of the Prime Infinity into its labs for a review. Along with the above diagrams came the model number TF700T and the knowledge that the device has an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor inside. Apparently, anyway. The linked page on the FCC site now gives an "You are not authorized to access this page" error when clicked, so we'll just have to trust Engadget.
In any case, Asus originally projected a mid-second-quarter release for the Transformer Prime Infinity. It should definitely be coming soon.
UPDATE: The Prime Infinity is now available in the market and can be seen here is in grey and champagne colors.
